Apple Boa
Harveston - Epel's Home
Idia Idia	Idia has equipped the Harveston Tunic! Jing-a-ling ♪ Cold resistance increased by 60%! Deuhehe... Never would've thought I'd get the chance to wear one of these traditional outfits. Sir Epel's quite the thoughtful one!
Sebek Sebek	He sure is excited. I never would've expected this from Idia based on his usual behaviour.
Jade Jade	Agreed. I was so certain he would have absolutely no interest in traditional wear of this sort.
Idia Idia	Fuhee… That's because these are the same outfits worn by the heroines of Love Sled!
Sebek Sebek	Thought as much.
Idia Idia	And the blue of this outfit in particular! It's the same colour that represents my best girl, Ai, and…
Sebek Sebek	You can stop right there with the animation talk.
Epel	Sorry to keep you all waiting!
Jade Jade	Done changing, Epel? Your outfit seems to be quite different from the rest of ours. It looks very puffy and fluffy... Like the embodiment of the very clouds themselves.
Epel Epel	Th-Thank you for your kind words. You're kind of embarrassing me a bit, though...I guess. The clothes I'm wearing now were sewn for me by my grandma, actually. In fact, all your outfits were hand-made by all the villagers.
Jade Jade	Is that so? Their workmanship is absolutely gorgeous.
Sebek Sebek	It's both warm and practical too.
Epel Epel	We have a custom of knitting winterwear whenever the snowfall gets too heavy for farmwork to be done. The designs and patterns differ from person to person, so we even hold exhibits to show off what we've knitted every year.
Jade Jade	I see. Such is a way to spend time indoors productively even if one is unable to go out to work.
Choice 1: I've finished changing.		Choice 2: Sorry to keep you all waiting.
Jade Jade Sebek Sebek	Good work. Do join us over here.Don't worry about it. I've also just finished changing anyway.
Sebek Sebek	Looks like your clothes fit nicely, Yuu.
Jade Jade	Indeed. The adorable apple and flower patterns suit you very well.
Sebek Sebek	The villagers we saw along Harvest Highway weren't wearing these outfits, were they?
Epel Epel	Right. They're tough to make and maintain, so nowadays, it's only really the Kelkkarotu participants that wear them. That's been the case ever since ready-made clothes that are a lot easier to care for spread through the village. But the villagers do still love these outfits. This traditional clothing is known as Apple Boa. The name originally referred to the pom-pom on the hat that's shaped after an apple… But over time, people began to refer to the entire outfit itself as Apple Boa instead. Look, my hat has apple ornaments instead of a pom-pom on it, doesn't it?
Jade Jade	It does indeed. It's incredibly adorable, actually.
Epel Epel	Ador…?! I mean, that's not so bad, either, but I was kinda hoping you would say something about how like...cool it is 'cause it's like I'm bearing my village's legacy on my shoulders or something... Or even that it's cool because you can feel the enthusiasm everyone has for Kelkkarotu through it. Does it not give you that sort of impression?
Jade Jade	Indeed, the outfit is very cool because of how it creates this sense of you bearing Harveston's legacy on your shoulders, while also getting across that enthusiasm you all have towards Kelkkarotu.
Epel Epel	You're just parroting what I said.
Jade Jade	Hehehe. The pom-poms on our hats are simply adorable as well. I've taken quite the liking to them.
Epel Epel	Oh yeah, back when I was a kid, I accidentally pulled off one of those pom-poms because I kept messing with it. And then Nannan…Grandma got so mad at me.
Jade Jade	The nice texture does tempt one to continue touching it.
Sebek Sebek	Such frivolous decoration will only be a hassle when doing vigorous exercise. I think it would be perfectly fine to remove.
Epel Epel	The pom-pom was originally meant to protect the top of one's head, actually.
Sebek Sebek	What...? Well, that certainly changes matters. If that's the case, then it'd also be a good idea to attach pom-poms to my official escort uniform.
Jade Jade	That would…make quite the fancy appearance. I have become more fond of the gorgeous stitchwork than the warmth the clothing provides. The snowflake and apple design certainly feels very Harveston. In addition, the brooches we have on our chests are splendid in their own charming way.
Epel Epel	The first things that come to mind when you bring up Harveston are apples and snow, after all. The brooches are also designed after them.
Sebek Sebek	Speaking of, I don't see Grim anywhere. Where did that rascal go?
Jade Jade	I believe he is still in Epel's house. What could he be doing in there, I wonder?
Epel Epel	Ahaha! He's probably crying tears of joy right about now.
Sebek Sebek	Hm? What do you mean?
Grim	Kept y'all waiting long enough!
Grim Grim	Your greatest majesty has arrived, dressed in a brand new ribbon!
OOOOHH!
Grim Grim	C'mon, c'mon, have a good look! Ain't it cool?!
Epel Epel	Yeah, it looks super good on you!
Idia Idia	Yours truly is actually the kind who thinks that making pets wear clothes is a heresy…but that ribbon looks oh so good on you!
Grim Grim	Did I just hear you say "pet"?!
Choice 1: It suits you.		Choice 2: It's cute on you.
Grim Grim	Wahahaha! Of course it does!Cute? Don't you mean cool?!
Epel Epel	The elderly of the village also made that ribbon. Custom-made especially for you, Grim! It has a snowflake and apple design to it, as well.
Grim Grim	I've definitely taken a liking to it!
