4-1: I Guess It Is Greedy?
Harveston - Raceway
Epel Epel	…Ah!! You guys are-?! -from Royal Sword Academy!!!
SAY WHAAAT??!! / WHAT?!
??? ???	Yes! We are the dwarves that live on the other side of Mount Moln.
Dominic Dominic	My name is Dominic. It is a pleasure to meet you all.
Gran Gran	The name's Gran! Don't you dare look down on me just 'cuz I'm short!
Hop Hop	I'm Hop! Yaaay~! Let's get the hype going~!
Shelpy Shelpy	Zzz…zzz… Ah! M' name'sh…Shelpy…
Snick Snick	My…name is…Snick. Nice to meet you… AH-CHOO!
Timmy Timmy	I...I...I'm Timmy... Th-This is so embarrassing...!
??? ???	Uhhh… My name is…what was it again?
Dominic Dominic	Please don't just forget your own name, Toby.
Epel Epel	I-I'm Epel from Night Raven College. And these people are Idia, Jade, Sebek… Grim, and Yuu.
Choice 1: Nice to meet you.		Choice 2: Hello.
Dominic Dominic Timmy Timmy	Yes! It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Yuu!H-Hello… Ahh, i-it's too embarrassing!
Snick Snick Gran Gran	Hello… Achoo!Hmph!
Hop Hop Shelpy Shelpy	Yaa~y! Nice to meet ya!Zzz…zzz… Mumble…mumble…
Toby Toby	Wuh-woh~? Why are we exchanging greetings again…?
Epel Epel	Dwarves…and there's seven of them at that…
Sebek Sebek	Hmph! What are you Royal Sword Academy folk doing in a place like this?!
Dominic Dominic	We're here to participate in Mount Moln Kelkkarotu.
GAH?!
Dominic Dominic	We heard that winning Harveston's sled race blesses one with fortune.
Sebek Sebek	You came all this way just to compete for a prize that could very well be a bunch of tall tales?
Jade Jade	I can tell that you all wish very dearly to obtain that fortune.
Dominic Dominic	Oh no, not at all! We are already happy enough as it is, so wishing for anymore happiness would just be greedy of us. We just…
Snick Snick	We thought it'd be nice if we could share that happiness with everyone… Ahchoo!
Hah?
Dominic Dominic	Exactly. We decided to join the race because we thought it'd be great if we could make the people all around the world even happier.
Idia Idia	Hah? If winning such a minor race could bring happiness to the whole world, then no one would even be facing hardship in the first place!
Dominic Dominic	Hehe! I guess you're right. It'd certainly be tough to make everyone in the world happy solely through our efforts. But if we could bring happiness to the people around us…like Neige, for instance… We believe that his smile could bring even more happiness to all the people who see it! That's how we wish to spread happiness all around us. …Although, I guess it is greedy of us after all, I suppose? But all seven of us genuinely wish for that from the bottom of our very hearts.
Hop Hop	Woohoo! Happiness is the best ♪
…Hah?
Grim Grim	Wh-What's up with these guys?! They've been spouting all sorts of stuff I don't get at all!
Epel Epel	Racing for the sake of people all over the world… Are they for real? That just sounds too good to be true!
Sebek Sebek	Even if you're pretending to be a goody-two-shoes, there's gotta be a limit to such a charade!
Jade Jade	While they may have been speaking humbly, you can tell that they are fairly confident in their own abilities.
Idia Idia	GUUUUHHH! The audacity of them!! J-Just listening to all that'd be enough to send chills running all over…
Epel Epel	You sure didn't have a problem saying that no one would even face any hardship in the first place.
Sebek Sebek	It's incredibly infuriating to engage in a direct conversation with this guy!
We're definitely…… Not going to lose to these guys!!
Snick Snick	Are you guys from Night Raven College joining the race too?
Epel Epel	Ah… Yeah, we are. Our team consists of myself, Idia, Jade, and Sebek.
Dominic Dominic	Oh, I see! We heard from a staff member that the previous champion had gotten injured, so we were worried about them.
Shelpy Shelpy	It sounds like a serious one… Concerned…
Dominic Dominic	We feel guilty that we are able to have fun at the race when the champions themselves are unable to do so… But I think the race will be fun for everyone since all of you from Night Raven College will be joining us too!
Snick Snick	And bringing life to the festival means we could also make the villagers happy… Ah choo!
Dominic Dominic	Yeah! My motivation is at its peak all of a sudden now! I'm so glad~!
Sebek Sebek	All of you… Quite cosy on your high horses, aren't you? You guys aren't thinking that you can beat us, are you?
Gran Gran	What didja just say?! Of course we do!
Dominic Dominic	While we do not know for sure if we really will win, we'll definitely put in our best effort.
Hop Hop	Yup, yup! Let's do our best, guys! Let's go~!
Dominic Dominic	Let's go practise sledding a little more, then!
Sebek Sebek	Oh? Practise, you say?
Epel Epel	Since we are here already, why don't you take this chance to show us what you've got?
Timmy Timmy	Sledding in front of the Night Raven College people?? Th-That's too much for me…
Harveston - Kelkkarotu Venue
Dominic Dominic	Phew… Now, as we will be making our way back first, please excuse us Night Raven College friends.
Toby Toby	We're leaving already? …Uhh, where to, though?
Dominic Dominic	Didn't I already mention that we'd booked a hotel in the nearby city?
Timmy Timmy	Th-The bus will be here soon, s-so we have to hurry…!
Bye bye~!
……
Sebek Sebek	What… What blasphemy did I just witness? Isn't their sledding… SUPER RIDICULOUSLY FAST?!
Epel Epel	Even I'm surprised… They were incredibly skilled…
Idia Idia	Isn't this as good as cheating?! You can't just load that many broken characters into one team…!
Jade Jade	And their teamwork was immaculate as well. This is certainly a pickle to behold.
Grim Grim	Are y'all sure you can beat them after all? If I were on the team, we'd probably have a chance at winning, but it doesn't look like you guys stand a chance at all.
Epel Epel	HAAH?! As if we'd lose to the likes of Royal Sword Academy! THE CHAMPIONS…ARE GONNA BE US!!
Sebek Sebek	Yeah, you'll see. We're gonna surpass their skill with our next training session right after this!
Idia Idia	tru dat! i've got so much motivation i could make a strat guide for a shit-tier game right now lmao
Jade Jade	That sounds about right. Who knows what everyone else back at school would say if we were to lose to Royal Sword Academy?
Choice 1: Do your best!		Choice 2: I wanna see you guys emerge as the champions!
Epel Epel	Yeah! Yuu saying that really gets my energy up!Thank you, we'll be sure to live up to your expectations. Alright, guys! Let's do this!

4-2: Should've Been Like, the First and Most Important Thing?
Harveston - Kelkkarotu Venue
Epel Epel	10 laps of sprints!!! Go!!!!
"MUSH"!!!
Epel Epel	Hairpin curve next!!! Right!!!
"HAW"!!!
Epel Epel	AND LEFT!!!
"GEE"!!!
Epel Epel	LOUDER!!! Such pathetic shouts won't get the magic channeling to your plushies! DO YOU WANT TO WIN AGAINST ROYAL SWORD ACADEMY OR NOT???!!!
Sebek Sebek	WE'RE GONNA WINNNNN!!!!
Jade Jade	We will win!!
Idia Idia	…Y-Yeaaahhh…
Epel Epel	Idia!!! Project your voice from your diaphragm!!!
Idia Idia	Eeek?! …Sob…I miss Ortho… I hope he's doing well… Your big brother is suffering so, so bad right now…
Epel Epel	WE'LL FINISH OFF WITH 10 LAPS OF SPRINTS!!!
"MUSH"!!!
Epel Epel	AND DONE!
Wheeze…pant…
Jade Jade	The sun has already set completely before we knew it. Our surroundings have turned inky black.
Sebek Sebek	I guess we didn't notice since we were so absorbed in our intensive Plush Sledding training.
Idia Idia	…… ……? ……! …… ……?!
Sebek Sebek	Say something already! Don't just mouth your words!
Idia Idia	Huff… Uggggghhhhhhhhh~~~… What's with this crash course from the pits of hell…??? My HP is no longer in the red, it's already in the negatives… I just managed to last this long since we use magic to operate the plush sleds, but this is way too much to bear...! This is way out of character for yours truly… I can't take it anymore!!!!
Sebek Sebek	How pathetic of you to be spitting out complaints over this little bit of training.
Epel Epel	But all of you have truly improved in leaps and bounds at Plush Sledding! The fruits of all the effort you put into this training are really showing!
Idia Idia	…U-Um actually~… Don't you think you're being too strict, Sir Epel?
Epel Epel	Huh? Am I really?
Jade Jade	Your guidance was indeed full of fiery passion.
Idia Idia	I never knew Sir Epel had this zealous side… It really surprised me.
Epel Epel	Ahaha... I really don't want to lose to Royal Sword Academy here, so I might have gotten a little too intense.
Jade Jade	I can understand where you're coming from.
Idia Idia	Cheerful, sparkly, and excessively popular… They totally peak the nauseating charts…
Sebek Sebek	We're not gonna lose no matter who our opponents may be! We're going to win tomorrow! And for that, we still have lots and lots of training to complete! Epel, let's get back to training!
Epel Epel	I get where you're coming from, Sebek, but we also require plenty of rest to perform well. Plus, the temperature takes a really sudden plunge at night.
Sebek Sebek	I-It'll get even colder than this…?!
Idia Idia	I wanna conk out in a soft and toasty bed, thank you very much…
Jade Jade	That sounds like a plan. Turning in earlier and leaving preparations for tomorrow might be a better course of action.
Epel Epel	You've really worked hard today, everyone.
Grim Grim	And your royal majesty here is starving!!
Epel Epel	Just wait a little longer, Grim. It seems like the villagers are setting up a welcome party for us, actually.
Grim Grim	For real?! That means there's gonna be tons of food to feast on, right?!
Epel Epel	Yeah! I think Grandma and the rest are preparing for it at the assembly hall right now.
Grim Grim	Yaaay~! C'mon you lot, hurry up and get back there already!
Sebek Sebek	That reminds me, I'm hungry too.
Jade Jade	I see you, too, are feeling peckish. I would appreciate if we could hurry along and get ready for dinner.
Grim Grim	Gahaha! Your granny may be scary, but looks like she does have a good side to her after all!
Epel Epel	Ahaha! She certainly does get terrifying when it comes to Kelkkarotu matters… …AH!!! Oh snap, I totally forgot! Grandma had asked me to get something done!
Jade Jade	And what might that be?
Epel Epel	Coming up with our team name! If we don't come up with one by today, it means we can't enter the race!
Idia Idia	That…should've been like, the first and most important thing we discuss for today, you know?
Grim Grim	I got a feeling that Epel's grandma is gonna fly off the handle…
Epel Epel	Y-Yeah, we'll have to decide on one before we get back to the assembly hall!
Sebek Sebek	A team name that's perfect for us, huh…
Idia Idia	…Um, would the team name used by the Love Sled heroines do?
Epel Epel	What is their team name?
Idia Idia	It's "The Beautiful Young Girls' Slumber". Deuhehe…
Sebek Sebek	Rejected! No matter how you look at it, that name is far too disjointed from my image!
Idia Idia	Wha… I-I don't want a team name that perfectly embodies you…
Jade Jade	How about the name, "Mountain Lovers' Sled Team" then?
Sebek Sebek	The only person that applies to here is you!
Grim Grim	I'll make the decision then. You'll go with "Lord Grim the Great and His Underlings"!
Jade Jade	Hmmm… None of the ideas we have thought of so far seem to stick.
Grim Grim	Fnagh?! Don't ignore me!
Epel Epel	I don't think we'll manage to think of something good any time soon, either. Oh, what to do...

4-3: Th-This is!!!
Harveston - Kelkkarotu Venue
Grim Grim	…Mm?! Sniff sniff…sniff sniff… There's a really yummy smell coming from here! I'm gonna go check it out for a bit!
Sebek Sebek	Oi! Grim, wait up!
Jade Jade	Grim, Sebek, where are the both of you heading to? The others are going to lose you.
Epel Epel	Oh man, at this rate, we won't be able to race tomorrow… How are we going to settle this, guys?
Idia Idia	……
Epel Epel	……Wha-?! We're only left with Idia and Yuu? Where's Sebek and the rest?
Idia Idia	Th-They kinda went that way…
Epel Epel	What?! Man, they sure are a carefree bunch. Well, we should be able to find them pretty quickly anyway since this is a small village.
Harveston - Apple Square
Jade Jade	Ah, this is the Kokko Market we visited earlier in the afternoon, yes?
Sebek Sebek	Looks like the bonfire in the center has been lit up. It's so toasty now!
Jade Jade	The lanterns above us are also glowing vibrantly. The atmosphere has certainly undergone a festive transformation.
Grim Grim	And there's even more food stalls now than there was in the afternoon! Everything looks real good to eat!
Sebek Sebek	Alright, guess it's time to grab a quick bite before the welcome party starts.
Jade Jade	Allow me to accompany you two, then. After all, I can't afford to bring ruin to such a harmony of objectives.
Grim Grim	Look, this stall's selling food I've never seen in my life!
Sebek Sebek	There's some liquid being put into the cavities in the hot plate. And the chef's shaping them with impressive technique into spheres.
Jade Jade	Isn't this takoyaki? I have had some in the past. It is a light snack filled with octopus that one eats drizzled with a rich, savoury sauce. It is Floyd's favourite food, you see.
Sebek Sebek	It's a dish I've never heard of either. I can't imagine how it tastes like, so I guess I'll try some.
Stallholder Stallholder	Aye! Ah'm all done, so eat up, lads!
Thanks for the food~! …Mm?!
Grim Grim	Umyamya?! Wh-What's with this?! It's super duper sweet!
Sebek Sebek	Oi, Jade! What part of this tastes like a savoury and light snack?! There isn't even any octopus in this!
Jade Jade	How peculiar indeed.
Epel Epel	Ah! They are here after all! I thought you guys would come to Kokko Market since you mentioned you were hungry.
Choice 1: We were looking for you!		Choice 2: Don't just disappear without telling anyone!
Jade Jade Sebek Sebek	My apologies, Grim and Sebek just wouldn't listen, you see.We didn't ditch you guys, you were the ones who lost sight of us.
Grim Grim	Oi, Epel! Why isn't there octopus in this?!
Epel Epel	Huh, like takoyaki…? No, no, these are miniature pancakes. It's a dessert that is made by frying dough in a spherical shape and filling it with jam.
Jade Jade	I see, so that was why. It resembles takoyaki at first glance, so I mistook it for such.
Grim Grim	It was surprising at first, but the munchy surface is addictive!
Sebek Sebek	I was seeking something to replenish my sugars after exercise anyway, so this works out well.
Jade Jade	A dessert that looks identical to takoyaki… Floyd would definitely have the shock of his life. I shall study the recipe and commit it to heart.
Epel Epel	Oh, I know how to make it, too, by the way. I used to make them quite often at night whenever I started craving sweets. There aren't any stores here that open late into the night, after all. I'll write the recipe down and hand it to you afterwards.
Jade Jade	Thank you so much, Epel.
Epel Epel	Anyway, let's hurry back to the assembly hall! The villagers are waiting for us.
Jade Jade	Yes, let us make haste… Th-This is!!!! I never thought I'd get to see it in such a location!!!
Epel Epel	I-Is something the matter?
Jade Jade	Excuse me! Allow me to purchase this soup!
Epel Epel	Um, J-Jade?! Didn't I just say that we'll be heading back to the assembly hall?!
Jade Jade	This is an exception! It is one of the objectives I had for coming to Harveston!
Idia Idia	First time seeing Sir Jade so excited… How rare…
Grim Grim	Fnagh? Is this soup yummy or something?
Jade Jade	Indeed, it is. This is a specialty that cannot be tasted in any other country. I've always wished to have a sip myself.
Grim Grim	Huh. I wanna have some too!
Sebek Sebek	Me too!
Epel Epel	C-Can't be helped then…
Shopkeep Shopkeep	Here ye go!
Jade Jade	Then… I shall have a taste…
Gulp…!
Jade Jade	Ahh... Such a rich and intense flavour, paired in beautiful harmony with its earthy aroma that embodies the very soul of the mountains themselves... This is the finest of fine delicacies!
Grim Grim	Gulp, gulp… Mmm! It's real good!
Sebek Sebek	Yeah, this tastes great! Looks like there's something added to it that was sliced into strips. What kind of soup is this, actually?
Epel Epel	This is mushroom soup. It's made with a really, really rare ingredient. It has an extremely strange appearance… Look, one's being displayed over there.
Grim Grim	Oh, which one… Whoa! It looks so weird! It's reddish-brown and all flabby!
Sebek Sebek	Yeah. It has lots of deep wrinkles and it kinda looks like a human ear.
Grim Grim	An ear of all things… What a gross shape it's got!
Epel Epel	It's really impressive that you're able to gulp it down non-stop, Jade… That mushroom is considered inedible in pretty much every other country. Though here in Harveston, it's been very normal for us to eat them since the olden days. It's a very particular ingredient that can only be prepared by specialist chefs.
Idia Idia	So basically it's a grotesque food…
Jade Jade	I have always wanted to try this mushroom soup. This is a dream come true for me!
Epel Epel	Jade of all people had such a dream…?
Grim Grim	Anything goes with me as long as it's yummy! Gulp, gulp!

4-4: Make This the Best Race Ever!
Harveston - Apple Square
Epel Epel	Okay, the shopping and eating ends here! The party at the assembly hall's gonna have even more food later.
Grim Grim	Fnagh~ I'm still hungry, yanno. I can't wait anymore… …The apple lanterns strung up there look real yummy!
Sebek Sebek	I'm pretty sure he said the same thing earlier in the day…
Epel Epel	Lantern… Ah, right! I need to buy one to hang on my sled. There's probably something good at Kokko Market.
Jade Jade	A lantern, you say? I believe your sled already has one hung on it if my memory serves right.
Epel Epel	It broke during practice, actually.
Sebek Sebek	Kelkkarotu also requires us to race through the night, right?
Epel Epel	Yeah, it's really important. Without a lantern, it'll be so dark that you wouldn't be able to figure out your way through the race. Plus, being able to see your teammates' lanterns among all the darkness is pretty reassuring in itself. Ah! That stall over there sells some. I'll be right back!
Lantern Stallholder Lantern Stallholder	Welcome! 'ave a look at Harveston's very own specialty lamp, 't apple-shaped Apple Lantern!
Jade Jade	It seems that its appearance differs from the ones we see hanging above us.
Sebek Sebek	It's much bigger in size than an actual apple fruit. In fact, it might be about the size of a person's head.
Epel Epel	Having one the size of an apple would be too small the light up the way, after all.
Jade Jade	What material is it composed of?
Epel Epel	It's made of glass. When the flame inside is lit, the lantern sparkles really beautifully.
Jade Jade	You can tell that the embellishments on its outer surface were designed by one with an exceptional eye for detail.
Epel Epel	Yeah. Since these lanterns are handmade by the crafter, no two lanterns share the same appearance, in fact. And since magic is used in its creation, the glass is much stronger than normal glass as well, and can shine really, really bright. If you ever find your field of sight worsening due to the racecourse's condition at night, please look out for this lantern and gather around it immediately. Alright, everyone?
Sebek Sebek	Got it. So basically, we have to use the apple as a mark while we race.
Choice 1: Now I want one of my own too.		Choice 2: I'm gonna go buy the same lantern.
Epel Epel	Ah, do you intend to get one as a souvenir? Good eye you've got, Yuu! I'm sure it'd look fantastic if you decorate your room with it. Let's buy them together. Excuse me, could I get two of these lanterns, please!
Lantern Stallholder Lantern Stallholder	There ye go! Thenks fer your patronage!
Jade Jade	What a lovely souvenir you've bought, Yuu.
Epel Epel	It's a really fitting one to get from Harveston, and I feel that it can even double up as a commemoration of the sled race. I hope you'll remember Harveston fondly whenever you look at the lantern even when you're back in school!
Sebek Sebek	Hmph, if you're gonna remember something fondly, make it our very victory at Kelkkarotu tomorrow instead.
Epel Epel	…Yeah! Let's make this the best race ever and leave our mark in both records and memories! Now, let's head back to the assembly hall for real this time.
Harveston - Outside Assembly Hall
Grim Grim	We're finally here!
Epel Epel	Oh right, how about we make a wish at the well one more time? A wish to guarantee victory at the race…no! This will be a declaration that we're gonna win instead!
Sebek Sebek	Sounds great!
Jade Jade	Indeed, it does.
Idia Idia	I can already envision how anguished they'd look after they lose to us.
Epel Epel	Let's do this then. And…go!
WE WILL WIN THE SLED RACE!!!!
Grim Grim	I'm gonna stuff myself full of yummy food in the village!
Epel Epel	We managed to be in sync this time! …While Grim's own gluttony is out in full view.
Grim Grim	Food is my top priority no matter when or where I am!
Jade Jade	Hehe, what an sturdy resolve Grim has.

4-5: Totally Off From What I Thought!
Harveston - Outside Assembly Hall
Epel Epel	Grandma, we're back!
Marja Marja	Oh, finally back aren't ye, you rotten apples!! You lot made sure to practice sledding properly before coming back, right?! Otherwise, the only dinner you're getting tonight is the one in your dreams!
Epel Epel	O-Of course we did! Everyone improved so much that they've practically turned into totally new people! We'll definitely get this win in the bag!
Marja Marja	Houhh… The look in all of your eyes is certainly satisfactory now. I see… You dearies did your very best for practice after all. I'm oh so very proud of you all. You did wonderfully, loves.
Grim Grim	Epel's granny went back to normal all of a sudden?!
Epel Epel	Ahaha… She's a real nice person as long as Kelkkarotu isn't part of the conversation.
Marja Marja	By the way, Epel. Have you all decided on your team name yet?
Epel Epel	Ah! W-We forgot about it…
Marja Marja	WHAT DID YE JUST SAY??!!! DIDN'T I TELL YE THAT IT'S AS CRUCIAL AS PRUNING THE BRANCHES IN THE APPLE ORCHARDS???!!!
Epel Epel	S-Sorry! We'll decide on it right now, so… U-Uhm… What do we do, Yuu? Do you have any good ideas or something?
Choice 1: A Harveston-like name would be great.		Choice 2: A festive name would be great.
Epel Epel	The most Harveston thing we have here would be apples, then.I wonder what could be the symbol of the festival. Like the bonfire, the stalls, the food… And the apple lanterns strung up in the square. Ah! Why don't we give ourselves a name based on the apple lantern hung on my sled?
Jade Jade	I see where you're coming from. It is because the lantern will be our guiding light during the race, correct?
Epel Epel	"The Apple Lanterns"… Yeah, it sounds great!
Idia Idia	Hah? Are you kidding me? It doesn't sound like a good name to me at all.
Sebek Sebek	Agreed. It's not a bad name, but I think it'd be better if it could embody more power in it. How about "The Strong Apple Lanterns" instead?
Jade Jade	I believe it would become an even more splendid name if it were "The Mountain-loving Strong Apple Lanterns".
Idia Idia	Scratch all that, let's go with the original one!
Epel Epel	Alright, it's decided then. Thanks, Yuu! Grandma, our team name will be The Apple Lanterns!
Marja Marja	I see, I see. I understand, dear. I will enter you boys under that team name, then. Now, do you lads wish to stand out here in the cold all night? Hurry and make your way into the assembly hall, loves.
Epel Epel	Yeah, gotcha. …Huh? Sniff sniff… This smells like…?
Harveston - Assembly Room
Epel Epel	Woohoo! It's barbequed meat!!!!
Grim Grim	Plus there's loads of other amazingly delicious-looking food set out!
Marja Marja	Why, this welcome party was prepared specially for you lovely lads.
Jade Jade	Thank you very much, it is an honour.
Grim Grim	Alrightie! I'm gonna go stuff myself with food tonight!
Sebek Sebek	Same. I'm looking forward to it too.
Idia Idia	Guhh… Do welcome parties usually have this many people attending…?!
Village Chief Village Chief	You're all exhausted from practising so long, right? That's why you gotta eat lots and get all the encouragement here. A humble party this may be, but please, enjoy it lads! Let's cheers!!!
Cheers!
Epel Epel	Yayy! Man, when was the last time I could stuff myself silly with barbequed meat without a care in the world?! Thanks for the foo~d!
Jade Jade	You seem to be in very high spirits, Epel.
Sebek Sebek	You like barbeque that much?
Epel Epel	Huh? Uhhhh… Like any other average person, I think?
Grim Grim	Oi, look at this! There's a really huge cake here!
Jade Jade	It certainly looks appetizing. It seems that the standard party foods were included in tonight's spread as well.
Villager C Villager C	Ah'll be dividin' it now.
Sebek Sebek	Its cream and fruit decor are magnificent.
Villager C Villager C	'ere ye go.
Grim Grim	Thanks for tha food! …I-It's not sweet at all!
Sebek Sebek	I thought it was made with fresh cream… Is this mayonnaise and sour cream instead?!
Jade Jade	It appeared to be a sponge cake, but it is made entirely of regular white bread instead. On top of that, the "fruits" that are layered between the bread seems to actually be vegetables.
Sebek Sebek	The toppings are prawns, hard-boiled egg, olives, and apples as well…while the rose decorations are actually made of salmon. It really feels like a salad.
Epel Epel	This is called a sandwich cake. It's a must-have party food in this area.
Grim Grim	It's totally off from what I thought! But it's yummy!!! Chomp chomp…

4-6: Goosebumps All Over
Harveston - Assembly Room
Marja Marja	Now boys, do have a bite of this to keep yourself extra warm, alright. It's fish and veggies simmered in a large cauldron. It's boiling over there in the fireplace, you see. We specially set it up a bit earlier so that it will be ready just in time for tonight.
Jade Jade	How charming it is to use a fireplace to cook.
Epel Epel	Yeah. We do have air conditioning and stoves, of course. But there are many families here that use a fireplace together with those two as well.
Grim Grim	Is the fireplace managed by fairies too?
Epel Epel	Fairies? …Ohh, you mean like back at school, right? Here, we use firewood for it. It's difficult to leave fairies in charge of the fire in rural areas with small populations like ours. Plus, wood is abundant here, so gathering firewood is no problem anyway. We can also dispose the trimmed branches from pruning in the orchards that way.
Jade Jade	Do you use the fireplace instead of a cooking range when preparing food?
Epel Epel	The fireplace is already being used consistently during winter, so we often make use of that fire to make stews. Gas was scarce in the past, so these habits are a product of that time. The heat goes through the ingredients thoroughly, so they soak up the broth and become real soft too. It's super delicious that way!
Marja Marja	Enjoy it while it's fresh from the pot, dearies.
Sebek Sebek	Chew, chew… This is splendid!
Jade Jade	The umami of the vegetables and fish are a pleasantly harmonious addition to the soup.
Epel Epel	You can savour each of the ingredients' true flavours since salt and pepper are the only seasonings used in the dish.
Sebek Sebek	To think you'd make such wonderful food as well! Looks like you're a cut above the other humans, Marja!
Jade Jade	You are truly candid to the very core, Sebek.
Marja Marja	Seconds, anyone? Make sure to eat to your hearts' delight, because I made plenty to go around.
Jade Jade	Thank you very much, I will happily oblige.
Sebek Sebek	Chomp chomp… Eating really gets me warmed up.
Grim Grim	Munch! Munch! Man, I could spend all day drinking such a delish soup! I want seconds!
Jade Jade	May I have another serving as well, please?
Sebek Sebek	Me too!
Grim Grim	Giving it out one by one is troublesome, so just get the whole pot over here!
Marja Marja	Hehehe! You boys are chowing down oh so heartily that it feels pleasant to watch you lovely dears in action. It truly feels like my effort had paid off.
Epel Epel	…Wait, where's Idia?
Grim Grim	Oh, Idia's just been hiding in the corner the entire time.
Epel Epel	What?! What's wrong, Idia? Are you feeling unwell by any chance?
Idia Idia	Yeah… I've been having goosebumps all over for a while now.
Epel Epel	If it's that cold, then hurry to the fireplace! There's also warm food over there.
Idia Idia	nonono, that's not it! it's cus i'm freaking out over this surprise party!
Epel Epel	Huh?
Idia Idia	sitting round the same dining table with strangers i've never even met before… just imagining it fills me with nothing but sheer pain! i'm not that interested in the food either, and chatting with people is a huge pain. pointless ttm. totally impossible.
Epel Epel	You got goosebumps in rejection of the situation you're in…?
Idia Idia	yours truly was never destined to stay in such bright places. not today, not tomorrow, not ever… pay this humble nobody no mind. pls, go ahead and indulge in as much shenanigans as you like with the rest, sir epel
Epel Epel	Th-That's such an irritating way to put it. But tomorrow will be physically taxing. If you don't eat anything now, your body might not be able to handle that strain. Yuu, could you do me a favour bring some food over to Idia?
Choice 1: I've brought some fruit soup.		Choice 2: I've brought some bean soup.

Idia Idia	What… Aren't fruit soups supposed to be cold?
Epel Epel	While it's true that they are normally served chilled, around these parts, we also serve it warm.
Idia Idia	Slurp slurp slurp slurp slurp Ohh… It truly is warm. Plus there's dried fruits in it. Man, soup is great when you think about it logically. You can consume it without having to cut it up, mix it with other stuff, or chew it. Easier than pie! I seek efficient means of getting my energy so that I can end these bothersome mealtimes quicker. I don't care how it tastes, but food that's fresh from the oven is something I'm thankful for, at least, since it was so cold out. Lowered body temperatures hinder rational thought, after all.

Idia Idia

Thanks… Slurp slurp slurp slurp slurp- Mm, it's nice and warm. It felt like I was eating rather than drinking since it's incredibly thick.

Idia Idia

Man, soup is great when you think about it logically. You can consume it without having to cut it up, mix it with other stuff, or chew it. Easier than pie! I seek efficient means of getting my energy so that I can end these bothersome mealtimes quicker. I don't care how it tastes, but food that's fresh from the oven is something I'm thankful for, at least, since it was so cold out. Lowered body temperatures hinder rational thought, after all.

Epel Epel	Idia really stays true to himself no matter where he is, huh…
Sebek Sebek	Munch munch… All the food here has been nothing but delicious. I need more serving plates if I want to have a taste of everything.
Jade Jade	There is one set of dinnerware on the table that has yet to be used. Please, help yourself to it…
Epel Epel	Ah! I'm sorry, but no one's allowed to used that plate there.
Sebek Sebek	Hm? Is it a super luxurious set of tableware, perhaps?
Epel Epel	Nope, that plate is a totally normal one… But leaving unused dinnerware on the dining table is a custom that's passed down here in Harveston as a sign of good fortune. Once upon a time, a traveler who spotted the untidy dining table in a certain house whipped up a feast for the family living in it… That legend became the basis for the belief that you will always get to eat your fill if you keep a plate on your table at all times. So please leave that plate alone.
Sebek Sebek	Got it. I'll find something else to scoop food into and eat from, then.
Jade Jade	Allow me to scoop your servings for you. I had just thought of retrieving my own servings of food myself.
Grim Grim	Get mine for me too!
Epel Epel	Man, the three of you really do eat a lot. I'm really happy that everyone could enjoy Harveston's local specialties!

4-7: What Insurmountable Talent!
Harveston - Assembly Room
Marja Marja	Now now, the party is much too far from over. Let's get this party started in time with the music, everyone.
Grim Grim	Epel's granny's real amazin'! She's playing the pipe organ so well!
Sebek Sebek	To be able to play an instrument as well… You never cease to impress, Marja!
Jade Jade	It seems that Sebek is the type of person who views everyone around him as his dear friends. It is great to see that he is such an amiable person.
Idia Idia	It's the opposite isn't it… He's being all "who cares about the humans" no matter how you look at him. You made those remarks knowing full well what he's like in the first place, didn't you?
Epel Epel	It is customary to sing and dance during parties and service award ceremonies here in Harveston. That's why the villagers love musical performances regardless of how good or bad you are!
Marja Marja	Are you able to play any instrument, loves? Let us all make merry together.
Epel Epel	I'll play the concertina then.
Jade Jade	That instrument bears a striking resemblance to the accordion.
Epel Epel	Yeah, that's because they both have bellows.
Sebek Sebek	Oh, you seem to be quite the experienced player, Epel.
Epel Epel	Really? I guess it's because I've always played for ceremonies and other parties since I was a kid. I may not be able to play complex pieces, but it's fun to breathe life to the party together with everyone else. Although, the grown ups around me are usually the ones playing instruments anyway, so I'd often have fun dancing instead. Or clapping to the beat to bring up the energy!
Jade Jade	I shall play a melody of my own as well. After all, it would be rude of me not to return the favour everyone bestowed upon us by throwing such a wonderful party on our behalf. Now, allow me to play this fish-shaped recorder…
Epel Epel	Wow! You're so good at this! I never knew you could play the recorder, Jade.
Jade Jade	You see, I often enter the mountain's domains to forage for edible vegetation. By using the bear-repelling whistle as often as I am required to, I could naturally hone my musical abilities over time.
Sebek Sebek	Becoming so skilled when your introduction to fluting is a bear-repelling whistle… What insurmountable talent you have!
Epel Epel	Huh? Wasn't Jade just kidding us?
Jade Jade	Hehe, I wonder myself.
Sebek Sebek	I'm not going to just sit back and let Jade be the only one hogging the limelight. I shall play the violin now.
Epel Epel	You know how to play it?
Sebek Sebek	No, not at all.
Epel Epel	Huh?
Sebek Sebek	I made sure to listen to Lord Malleus each time he plays his violin. It's also a challenge I intend to take on someday. This ensures that we can have commonalities that we can delve on in conversation. Now, allow me to begin.
Ssssssskr-skr-skrrrrchhh…
Epel Epel	Ugh???!!! It's terrible!!!
Grim Grim	S-Stop it! My ears are ringing!
Epel Epel	N-No matter what you say, it's impossible to play something well without practicing a single bit, Sebek.
Sebek Sebek	Guh… Now this is too embarrassing of an anecdote to raise in conversation… However! I have understood the marvel behind Lord Malleus's performances! To think that it would be such a difficult instrument to play… The Young Master is truly amazing in that regard!
Epel Epel	Why don't you play another instrument instead?
Sebek Sebek	That's fair. In that case, I shall play the flute like how Jade did. Here I go…
PRRRRRRR!!!
Epel Epel	Whoa!!! It's unbelievably loud! Just how much lung capacity do you have?!
Jade Jade	You appear to have quite the knack for the flute, Sebek. I would love to practise with you someday, if you don't mind.
Sebek Sebek	Hmph. Lord Malleus himself is talented at playing stringed instruments, so becoming better at playing the flute is completely meaningless for me.
Marja Marja	Is there anything you are able to play for us, Idia dear? Whether you're good at it or not, we don't mind.
Idia Idia	Hah? Even if you were to make such a demand out of me…
Marja Marja	Why, don't say that, dearie. Please, the floor is all yours.
Idia Idia	Yikes, now it feels like this is never gonna end if I don't do it… SIGH…what a pain… Sir Sebek, pass the violin over.
Sebek Sebek	Th-The violin, you say? Got it.
Idia Idia	Sigh… Here goes nothing.
Grim Grim	Umyamya?! He's super duper good at this!
Sebek Sebek	He's…definitely not up to Lord Malleus's standard, but he's certainly a step away from playing as magnificently as him!
Epel Epel	He sounds like a pro! This is amazing! Who would've thought that Idia had such a talent hidden up his sleeve!
Jade Jade	Hehe. All of you, please pay attention and watch. The bow's movements are not matching up with the sounds they supposedly produce, are they?
Epel Epel	…Ahh! The violin music is being played from his smartphone instead!!
Grim Grim	Whaaat?! Isn't that unfair?!
Idia Idia	Fuhee! That's high-res audio playback for you.
Epel Epel	The sound was so pleasant and audible that I was completely fooled…
Sebek Sebek	How shameful of me to have thought that Idia was amazing for even a split second…
Idia Idia	There's no need to go through all the pains of practicing an instrument if the option of just pushing a button to play something a real pro would exists, is there?
Grim Grim	Your royal majesty's gonna play the cymbals!
CRASH CRASH CRAAAASSHHH!!!
Sebek Sebek	I-It's ear piercing! Don't play the cymbals in succession while in an enclosed space!
Epel Epel	Please play them gentler instead!
Grim Grim	Hehe~! That style doesn't suit me one bit!
CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH!!!
Epel Epel	G-grim, play these castanets instead.
Grim Grim	Fnagh? Ohh, got it! I'll bring the mood up with these then!
Clack clack clack clack!
Jade Jade	He seems quite enthusiastic about it.
Epel Epel	Well, he seems to be having fun so that's all that matters.
Clack clack clack clack clack clack clack clack!!!
Sebek Sebek	N-Nevermind, it's all noise now!!
Epel Epel	Are you able to perform on any instrument, Yuu?
Choice 1: I can.		Choice 2: I can't.
Epel Epel Idia Idia	Really? Let's hear it then! Wha-? You're so good…! I didn't know you had such a talent. Please teach me next time, okay!I mean that's normal…
Sebek Sebek Epel Epel	Hmph. It was a so-so performance.Shall we dance instead, then? I'm sure it'd be loads of fun.
Epel Epel Jade Jade	This means we can get the party even more livelier. Let's all play together as one!Indeed, it would. Dance itself plays an important role in adding life to an event after all.
Villager 1 Villager 1	Tha li'l uns sure are good no marra if it's dance or song, ain't 'ey!
Villager 2 Villager 2	Aye! And we ain't about ta get beat! Get up an' dance, fellas! Dance!
Grim Grim	Wahaha! I'm gonna dance too! Yeah hoo!!!!
Villager 2 Villager 2	Oh~ splendid! Looks laik dem city cats are reet different from us uns after all, aye.
Grim Grim	Fnagh! I'm no lowly cat, okay!

4-8: You Are All Wrong
Harveston - Assembly Room
Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
Marja Marja	Alright now, it's about time we ended this party no matter how much fun it is.
Grim Grim	Fnagh?! But I still wanna play!
Epel Epel	Didn't you hear the cuckoo clock just now? It's already 11 at night, so it's time to sleep.
Marja Marja	You lot must have been tired out from today, so please rest well tonight now.
Grim Grim	Well, I'm not sleepy at all! I'm gonna keep playing!!
Marja Marja	GO TA SLEEP!!! What are you all going to do if any of you mess up during the race due to lack of sleep then?!
Grim Grim	Fnagh?!
Marja Marja	Even if tha're not flaggin' or still want t' play! Tha're going t' sleep! Even the apples themselves spend all the time they need in winter to store nutrients so that they can bear delicious fruits! Have I made myself clear?!
Grim Grim	I-I don't really get it but…got it…
Jade Jade	She truly does a complete 180 whenever it comes to the sled race.
Epel Epel	Ahaha… Grandma, thanks for hosting the party tonight! It was real fun!
Epel Epel	Looks like grandma and the rest have all gone home already. Shall we get ready for bed then?
Sebek Sebek	Yeah, let's.
Jade Jade	Gentlemen, I'd like your attention please. Although Madame Marja had indeed ordered us to go to bed, there is still one more thing left for us to do.
What?
Epel Epel	Something for us schoolmates to do before we sleep together, which means…we're having a pillow fight, right?!
Sebek Sebek	No, surely he means we'll be working out before bed!
Idia Idia	You know the Love Sled heroines held a pajama party in the anime right?
Jade Jade	You are all wrong. The correct answer is "strategy meeting". We should flesh out our strategies and protocols for tomorrow's race. After all, we cannot afford to lose to Royal Sword Academy, can we.
Sebek Sebek	I see now.
Epel Epel	That's true, then let's do so.
Jade Jade	During the party, I borrowed a copy of the race's rulebook from one of the villagers. Let us first review the rules as we flip through its pages.
Epel Epel	Wh-When did you… You're truly ever-prepared, Jade!
Jade Jade	Rule Number 1 in the rulebook - If any one member out of the team of four were to be absent, the team becomes disqualified. Rule Number 2. Winners are determined based on the cumulative time taken for all four members of the team to complete the race. And rule number 3. The time taken for an individual member to complete the race is defined as the moment when the tip of the plushie's nose reaches the finish line.
Sebek Sebek	So the record is based on the time taken for the plushie to reach the goal and not the sled or musher, huh? That was unexpected.
Idia Idia	S-Sir Sebek… Friendly reminder that this is the Plush Sledding Race… S-So the key players would be the plushies… We mushers act as their power supplies that enable them to move.
Epel Epel	After all, honouring the animals is the heart of what the Kelkkarotu is in the first place.
Jade Jade	Which means to say that the plushies cannot be hurt unlike our opponent's sleds.
Epel Epel	…Jade, I have a feeling that your logic is leaping a bit too far there.
Jade Jade	Rule Number 4 in the rulebook. Each participant will be responsible for any physical contact and crashing caused between sleds.
Sebek Sebek	Mmm, better be careful then!
Idia Idia	Which means… You won't get disqualified even if you just crashed only into other opponents?
Jade Jade	Correct. There should be zero issue as long as we crash into our opponents' sleds while taking care to ensure that our own sleds do not get damaged.
Idia Idia	Fuhee! Roger that!
Epel Epel	Wha-?!
Jade Jade	Rule Number 5. As mushers race along the course, they are not allowed to do so in a manner that would hinder the movements of other sleds.
Sebek Sebek	Yeah, that's an obvious one!
Jade Jade	In other words, creating pitfalls in the racecourse beforehand is perfectly okay according to the rules.
Idia Idia	Doing it beforehand means that it'd fall out of the scope of the rule since it wouldn't be constructed while everyone is racing anyway, so it's safe to do for sure.
Jade Jade	Indeed, you have a point! Now, on to the next rule…
Epel Epel	S-Stop right there! Why don't we win without doing such tampering instead?!
Idia Idia	Hah? But it's perfectly fine according to the rules. These aren't cheats or glitches~ Taking advantage of loopholes in the rules is literally Basic Game Strats 101. Boom, checkmate!
Jade Jade	Quite true. After all, we are supposed to prioritise victory above all else.
Epel Epel	No, this is a fight that Royal Sword Academy picked with us…
Jade Jade	I don't recall them doing so, however?
Epel Epel	I want us to teach them a lesson by winning with our true power! Otherwise, it just wouldn't sit well with me!
Sebek Sebek	Yeah, same, Epel! It is by fighting head on and winning with one's true strength that one is able to truly experience the joy of winning. Even if we did win, it'd still be a hollow victory if we didn't play it fair. Is there even any meaning to such a disappointing victory?
Jade Jade	The first years are quite the soft-…wholehearted bunch, it seems.
Idia Idia	God no… This is why muscles for brains are so…
Idia Idia	W-Well then… Could everyone please pay attention to yours truly's tablet for a bit.
Epel Epel	…I-Isn't this a video of the Plush Sledding race course?!
Idia Idia	I-I used a drone to record an aerial view of the course during our afternoon practice…☆
Epel Epel	A drone?! You seriously brought such a thing along with you here?!
Idia Idia	Yup… It's for videorecording the locations used in Love Sled since it can take wide shots~ And to think that it ended up being useful in this way.
Sebek Sebek	I did think that his luggage was excessive, but I guess…
Epel Epel	W-Wow…
Idia Idia	I mean, it's not like the racecourse is hidden or anything, right? Preparing for tomorrow with this doesn't count under foul play in this case then.
Epel Epel	That's true… This should still count as following the rules.
Jade Jade	Pitfalls, too, fall within the scope of the rules.
Epel Epel	Please don't treat the village's beloved Kelkkarotu as if it were an NRC event!
Sebek Sebek	This is quite the convenient video recording. You can identify which passages will become deadlocks in a single glance.
Jade Jade	Indeed. This will allow us to think holistically about the progression of the race.
Sebek Sebek	Mm… We went through this area during practice earlier. There's three consecutive curves here and I ended up falling over while trying to get through.
Epel Epel	For this part, you have to charge at full speed until you get to the start of the corner, and then make a sudden brake right before the curve. That way, you can make use of the centrifugal force to quickly get the sled to face the exit of the corner. Your deceleration will be minimal and it's effective for sharp turns, so even the triple curves can be cleared just by counting on your speed!
Idia Idia	Ohh! That's what you call drifting in racing games, right!
Epel Epel	Drifting is an actual driving technique, though. It's not just racing game jargon…
Jade Jade	But it does seem like a gaming term in Idia's eyes. Epel, wouldn't the musher end up slipping out of their sled if they were to speed into a corner as you described?
Epel Epel	It's true that mushers would be prone to understeers that way since the ground's surface is also frozen over. That's why you will need to counter steer so that you can correct your sled's movement.
Grim Grim	…I don't get what you're sayin' at all.
Jade Jade	Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they are jargon used in motor racing. Epel does appear to be quite familiar in that aspect.
Sebek Sebek	Now that you mention it, we did talk quite a bit about cars and magical wheels back at Harvest Highway.
Epel Epel	Yeah, I'm a fan of magical wheels plus I watch races often, so I became familiar with driving techniques over time. And then, I'd test out the techniques I learnt from the races while I'm sledding. I think they could be applied in tomorrow's Kelkkarotu, so I'll make sure to teach everyone all sorts of tricks later!

4-9: Which Means We Will Be Able To Win!!!
Harveston - Assembly Room
Sebek Sebek	Alright, I've slowly but surely gotten the hang of the racecourse's features. WHICH MEANS WE WILL BE ABLE TO WIN!!!
Idia Idia	Eek!! Um…Sir Sebek… Could you not shout so loudly all of a sudden…
Sebek Sebek	JUST WHAT IS LOUD ABOUT MY VOICE?! ISN'T THIS NORMAL?!!
Jade Jade	It is…certainly not normal by any means.
Epel Epel	Y-Yeah.
Jade Jade	Speaking of which, I heard that avalanches happen when one speaks loudly while at the snowy mountains.
Idia Idia	What an unscientific hearsay that is… A human's voice is nothing compared to the sounds made in the great outdoors. The howling gales in the mountains are way more powerful anyway. Whatever you heard was a mere urban legend.
Jade Jade	Why, pardon my ignorance, Mr. Scientific.
Epel Epel	But looking at us now, I really feel like we can emerge as champions! Well guys, it's about time we turned in for the night so that we'll be ready for the real thing tomorrow.
Sebek Sebek	Hm? You're spending the night here instead of going home, Epel?
Epel Epel	Yeah. After all, you guys did come all this way to Harveston. Now, please go ahead and pick whichever bed suits your fancy.
Idia Idia	These…are the beds we'll be sleeping in…?
Jade Jade	They are quite small…
Sebek Sebek	MY FEET WILL STICK OUT OF THE COVERS, YOU KNOW?!
Epel Epel	The assembly hall isn't meant for people to stay in, so there weren't even beds here to begin with. These beds were brought here from the nearby homes…so I guess that's why they're all on the smaller side, since the people who use them are smaller too. I know Grim and I can fit them fine, but the three of you are much bigger so the beds aren't fit for you all. What about Yuu? Is it alright for you?
Choice 1: I think it's fine.		Choice 2: I think my feet are gonna stick out
Epel Epel	Thought so. Sebek and the rest are just too big.You guys… What did y'all eat to get that tall?
Grim Grim	Why don't y'all just push two beds next to each other and sleep across them instead?
Sebek Sebek	Can we even do that?!
Epel Epel	I'm sorry, but you'll have to spread the sheets onto the bed sideways and sleep that way.
Sebek Sebek	Looks like we've got no other way.
Jade Jade	It's alright, really.
Idia Idia	If I curl up into a ball with the sheets then there won't be a problem. Yours truly will be taking this small bed.
Epel Epel	I'll be turning the lights off then. Good nigh-…
Grim Grim	W-Wait up! We've got trouble!
Epel Epel	What's wrong, Grim?
Grim Grim	Your royal majesty is hungry… I want supper!
Epel Epel	Didn't you eat a ton of food at the welcome party just now?!
Sebek Sebek	GET TO SLEEP ALREADY!!!!
Grim Grim	Fnagh…
Epel Epel	Well then, good night.
……
Grim Grim	Grrrrrr~~~~ Grumble grumble grumble~~~~~
Idia Idia	Um… I can't sleep because Sir Grim's belly is being real noisy…
Jade Jade	Grim, may I suggest that you wrap yourself further in your blankets? It could possibly aid in noise suppression.
Grim Grim	I mean, I'm just hungry, ain't I? That's not gonna solve my problem in anyway!
Epel Epel	…… …Hehe! Ahahaha!
Sebek Sebek	What's the matter, Epel? Why did you laugh out loud all of a sudden?
Epel Epel	Sorry, it's just that it suddenly became so funny somehow… To tell you the truth, I've always longed to have this sort of experience myself. I believe I have mentioned before that there aren't any children my age here in Harveston, so I ended up having to play with the grown ups all the time. That's why when my cousin was born, I was so, so, SO happy at the fact that there's finally someone younger than me! But no matter how cute he was and all, he's still a baby now. I feel like our age gap is too large for us to be able to connect properly when playing together… It's been so much fun getting to do stuff like sleep together and fool around with my school friends right here in my hometown.
Sebek Sebek	No other kids your age…huh… Now that you mention it, that sepia-toned photo in your house showed you alone in it too.
Epel Epel	"Sepia-toned photo", you say? That reminds me, I think you guys mentioned something like that back when you were changing into your Apple Boas too. Still… I don't remember having such a photo taken of myself, though?
Sebek Sebek	It was hung in your living room. It made quite the impression since it showed you wearing an overall.
Jade Jade	You were wistful, yet free of restraint in that photograph. It suited you quite wonderfully, in fact.
Epel Epel	…Ahh, that photo! That's a photo of my grandma in her younger days.
WHAAAAAAAAAAT???!!!!
