Episode 3-9: Outgrew Those A Month After My Birth!

Harveston - Outside Assembly Room
Marja Marja	YOU BOYS!!! WILL EMERGE VICTORIOUS AT ALL COSTS!! UNDERSTOOD?!!!
Grim Grim	M-Man, Granny's all scary now…
Marja Marja	All your plushies are in the assembly hall, so stop faffing around and go get them! Go on! Get those legs running already! You can't afford to waste a single minute not training!
Epel Epel	R-Roger that!

Harveston - Assembly Room
Marja Marja	These little ones will be your plush toys for the race.
Epel Epel	Aww, they're suh cute! The rabbit's reet adorable!
Sebek Sebek	Hmph, it doesn't matter how cute they are! What's crucial is whether they can pull the sled! However…being able to make four intricately designed plushies within such a short period of time… …is really remarkable for a human like you, Marja!
Jade Jade	You really speak to Madam Marja as if the two of you are old friends, Sebek. I must say, though, these plush toys are much smaller than I was anticipating. Can they truly pull the sleds we ride on with such tiny bodies?
Epel Epel	Don't worry about that! They can run at really fast speeds as long as the rider can control their magic well. So please place your trust in the plushies Grandma made for us as well. They're our partners who'll be running together with us down the merciless racecourse. Don't you feel a sense of attachment when you think about them like that?
Sebek Sebek	I don't feel it. I'm not interested in meager objects like plush toys.
Epel Epel	Whaaat… But you must've owned a plushie as a child yourself, right, Sebek?
Sebek Sebek	I didn't.
Epel Epel	Huh? For real?
Sebek Sebek	Hmph! I outgrew those a month after my birth! I did hug a punching bag to sleep in the past, however. Training equipment have been my toys since I was a baby.
Jade Jade	I have never had a plush toy myself, either.
Epel Epel	What? Really?
Jade Jade	I did retrieve the dolls that I found in the remains of sunken ships, but plush toys droop in the ocean from all the water, you see.
Epel Epel	Ohh, I see.
Jade Jade	Most merfolk play with corals or shells instead of plush toys as a result.
Epel Epel	What about you, Idia?
Idia Idia	M-Me? I didn't own any, but… …that's because I've always preferred more practical stuff even as a kid. So I built my own simple robots and stuff.
Epel Epel	A-Amazing! Of course you did! I personally had lots and lots of plushies as a kid. I'd need more than two hands just to count them all.
Jade Jade	You seem to have a soft spot for plush toys. It does feel like something I would expect of you, Epel.
Epel Epel	No, not really. I'm actually indifferent to them, but…the other villagers gave them to me as gifts. Back then, I was the first newborn in Harveston in a long time, and I guess everyone got overexcited. The villagers would give their hand sewn plushies to me, since a lot of them enjoy sewing. Then, I handed them all to my cousin after he was born. That's why my plushies are still actively used to this day.
Marja Marja	YOU SQUIRTS!! WHAT'RE YOU CASUALLY YAPPING YOUR MOUTHS OFF FOR??!! IF YOU HAVE THAT MUCH TIME TO WASTE, THEN HURRY UP AND GO PRACTICE SLEDDING ALREADY!!!
Epel Epel	G-Got it!!
Grim Grim	What a scary lady…
