While we await a better translation, I made a rough one regarding the synopsis down below:

The strange town where all the buildings are painted bright red: Merigod.

In Merigod, a mysterious incident occurred in the area with the wife of the (former/first time/previous?) fuedal lord, Mikulia Karugarando.

It was handed down that, at the time, Mikulia had been in possession of the ingredients for a mysterious sleeping drug, Gift, and took up the name "Flower of the Plateau".

For the purpose of examining the anecdotes surrounding the Flower of the Plateau, Newspaper Company Reporter Hanne Lorre visits this town.

Unexpectly, she would become involved in a serial incident tracing back to this ancedote---

I also tried translating the tweet and got this:

Synopsis that Animate Online Shop had written for Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep is a little bit off.

Merigod (has become/isn't (really hard to tell)) the name of the town.

The name of the town is/was actually Karugarando, while the name of the plateau where the town is located is/was Merigod.

Sloth and I discussed this info in private and this is what we came up with:


 * The novel cover clearly shows red buildings on Margarita's side of the background.


 * The song PV also shows reddish buildings in the background.


 * Meta Salmhofer is specifically referred to as the "Witch of Merigod", a hundred years prior to Mikulia's incident.


 * During the Green War, King Sohni and his soldiers headquartered in a fortress on Merigod Plateau, north of Toragay.


 * During the same war, Lucifenia set up base in Toragay, south of Sohni's fortress, and arrested Earl Felix.


 * Maps of Elphegort put Toragay directly below Merigod Plateau.


 * Flower of the Plateau has Mikulia planning to marry a lord in the town at the foot the plateau.


 * Prim states that Gift is a "relatively new" poison roughly 300 years after Mikulia's incident.

Based on all this, I'm under the impression that Toragay is the town at the foot of Merigod Plateau and that's why the Felix family's been there this whole time rather than in that city in Merigod (because they're the same thing).

Because I am having trouble with the tweet translation, I can't tell if mothy's say the name evolved from Karugarando --> Merigod --> Toragay, or that the error was they called the town Merigod period and it was Karugarando --> Toragay and Merigod just refers to the plataeu.

I'm also under the impression we have another Gula here where The Daughter of Evil's time period refers to stuff as "relatively new" when they had existed/happened before, either because they didn't know or lost the info.
