Rune Factory 4 Journal

Rune Factory 4 Journal:

Day 4:  After completing the request from Forte that gave me a Cheap Axe, I was told that in future, I would have more than one request.

Day 5:  Only one Request shows at a time.  I was told by Vishnal to ship a Turnip and given a Turnip to ship.  When I did that, I was told that new seeds would appear at the General Store.  I went back into the Request Menu and there is a second request to give a Turnip which will result in the gift of a Cheap Sickle.

I go to the Clinic and get an Event wherein the girl has awakaned and tells me her name is Amber.  Illuminata enters and offers to let her stay with her.  I am asked to choose if this is acceptable and do.  When they leave, Nancy tells me I ought to have a Chemistry Set and says it will cots 1000G, 30 Lumber and 30 Stone.  And a Chemistry Licence.

For sale, she has:
Recovery Potion
PAragone
Roundoff

Arthur has trade items

potato Seeds: 80G
SMall Shield: 70G
Char Sashimi: 720G
Rice Flour: 100G
Masu Trout: 300G
Girella Sashimi: 400G

I made Onigiri with a Mushroom and Rice without using the recipe.  Very strange.

 
I finally made Bamboo Rice.  It was the best I could do with my skills and lack of Tools.

In the forest, I was able to defeat the butterfly monster again.  Can do it once each day even though I have met Amber and she is living in the village now.

I found a magic spell, Laser, in a Chest in the forest.

Forte: It is a well-creafted Rice Flour.  Hmm..  what sort of dishes do I like?  Egg dishes and Union Stew.  Also... cakes and sweets.

If only I had a Hammer, I now could build a Monster Barn for 100p, Lumber 50 and Stone 30.

When I go to bed, I experience an Event with Venti muttering in her sleep.

Cooking Contest:  You cannot win with a dish you found in a chest.  Shrimp Sashimi would give me no more than 11 points.

The point value of the Bamboo Rice is 103 I think and I can get no better than third place.  The actual points for the other contestants are random but I won't get better than third with this entry.

After:
Doug asks for 'Anything with Rice'.

Sharp Shin:  There's a weird mineral called a Shade Stone.  It absorbs light.  So even ta noon, the area around it is dark, making it hard to find.

Day after Cooking Festival, event with Ventiwill.
Blossom:  Well, you've heard the cursed voices, right?  We want to learn more about them.  ALL about them.

Cursed voices in the night.
Could it be...?
Venti in her sleep?
Venti howling?

Gives you access to the Water Ruins.

Received Venti's Charm.

Request: Buy Rice

You only need to buy it and when you return to the Request place, you will be given 4 Toyherb Seeds.

The next request is to Make Material Stone.  You will be given a Hammer as soon as you accept the Request.

Even though Eliza says nothing more for now, you can ask to look at the requests.  The next ones are:

Try Fishing.  Deliver a Fish to Vishnal
   Reward: 300G

You cannot accept it yet though.

The other one is:

Harvest Toyherb
  Reward: More seeds available ab Flower Shop

When I go to the Forest now, there is a little Event.  Volcanon comes racing through and smashes a new path where the hollow trees were.

He then gave me Leather Gloves

I ordered the next Festival which is Bean Tossing.

I won the Fishing Frenzy with 18 Fish.  The next monring, I took the Request to ship 20 Turnips after having shipped them.  Pink Turnip Seeds appeared at the General store.

Pink Turnip Seeds: 160G

I found another Field.  Need to fight the Boss of the Water Ruins.  Bought a Forge today and used it to upgrade my Steel Swrod.  Got the Licence for the Crafting Table but need more Gold.

If I then pay 500 Princesss Points to increase Bado's shop to allow him to sell accessories, he will have:

Cheap Bracelet
Charm
Badge
Aquamarine Ring
Emerald Ring
Umbrella

Went into the Water Ruins, had a little event with Doug and received Fireball from him.

At Cooking Level 12, the Cooking Bread that gave no results gave Cheese Recipe.

I found a Fortunerteller and he had a Shirt in a Chest.

I took the Fishing Request and was given a Fishing Pole.  I could not place it in my rucksack for some reason so I went into my room and set it temporarily on the floor.  It disappeared.  Even if I cancel the request, and then accept it again, I will not be given another one.  The game assumes that I have it still.  It was not delivered to the house either... so I had to buy one for 1500G.

When I spoke to Bado, he told me I could have my own forge.

To build a forge, I need 3000 Gold, 30 Lumber and 25 Stone Material.

To build a crafting table, you'll need: 3000 Gold, 50 Lumber and 10 Stone Material.  And licences to use either.

Requests after I deliver a fish to Vishnal are:

Collect Fertiliser
  Reward: Fertiliser Bin

Build a Monster Barn
  Reward: Brush

Harvest Toyherb
  Reward:  More seeds available

Harvest Potato
  Reward: More seeds available

If I take the Monster Barn, I will be given 50 Lumber and 30 Material Stone from Arthur.

Go to Development and make order for 100p, Lumber 50 and Materials Stone 30

So I did it.

New request on Tuesday, 9 Spring:

Befriend a Monster
  Reward: Fodder Box

There is no Monster Glove, evidently in RF4.  I took a different request but when I did befiriend a Monster by using the Brush repeatedly until no heart was displayed and then giving it an Onigiri, I was able to take the Request LATER and have it count instantly.  Obtained a Fodder Box and some Fodder for doing that.  It was the same with the Toyherb harvest request.  A prior harvest counted.

My biggest mistake so far was in placing that Cheap Pole in my room on the floor and then leaving the room... I had to pay 1500G for a replacement because the game would not offer a new one, even if I cancelled the request and then accepted it again.

Material Stone is easier to make than Lumber, because Rocks and stones are everywhere.  I did find, however, that the Chipsqueek drops branches, which is useful!


Hated the Bean Tossing Festival.  When I bought the Forge Licence, a new Licence to use the Airship for 300p appeared in the Menu.

Bought the Airship Licence and took the exam:

To use the Airship, you can:
Check the equipment

To add more destinations, you can:

Explore new places

Can you call the airship at a save point?
Yes.

Met Raven on the road to the Airship.

She had for sale the following:

Sakuya's

Arrowhead: 60G
Iron: 200G
Stick: 50G
Insect Horn: 100G
Ambrosia's Thorns: 7000G
Fur (S): 30G

I have plenty of all of these...

One can defeat the Ambrosia Monster once each day to obtain Ambrosia's Thorns, which has a nice shipping value.

It is odd in this game how Crops, although defined by season, can be grown in other seasons.  The newest Request I accepted was to harvest 5 Radishes.  Not a Spring Crop but I was able to buy the seeds and plant them.   Unfortunately, this ties up the Request business for at least five days now.

I cannot understand what ORIGINAL* means in the description of a Cooked Dish.  I thought it might differentiate an Item my Character cooked from Items found in Chests, but am not certain about that.  Will have to watch carefully in future.

Clorica's Birthday.

On her birthday for Apple Juice found in a chest: Thank you! (with music)  It's always nice to get things I like, but it's even nicer to get them on my birthday.

On her birthday for Apple Juice I made: (Thank you very much!) Thank you! (with music)  It's always nice to get things I like, but it's even nicer to get them on my birthday.  (How amazing!) This looks handmade!  You always do such amazing things, Freya.

On her birthday for Cherry Sashimi I made (with music)  Thank you.  Oh, a birthday present for me?  (How amazing!)  And it looks handmade, too!  Thank you! (with music)

On her birthday for Turnip: (with music) Thank you.  Oh, a birthday present for me?

On her birthday for Apple Juice found in a chest: Thank you! (with music)  It's always nice to get things I like, but it's even nicer to get them on my birthday.

On her birthday for Apple Juice I made: (Thank you very much!) Thank you! (with music)  It's always nice to get things I like, but it's even nicer to get them on my birthday.  (How amazing!) This looks handmade!  You always do such amazing things, Freya.

On her birthday for Cherry Sashimi I made (with music)  Thank you.  Oh, a birthday present for me?  (How amazing!)  And it looks handmade, too!  Thank you! (with music)


Raven is in Ventuswill's chamber and has Amethyst among other things.

Amethyst: 500G
Blade Shard: 145G
Arrowhead: 60G
and some more things I have...

If I give her Scrap Metal, she will say:  I don't need this.  Trash doesn't make good pendants... But a friend might like it, so I'll take it. ... I don't need it.

Raven for Iron Ore (with music):  Oh...! ... Thanks.  I'll take it home with me.

At Bado's:

For a Crafting Table, you'll need 3000 Gold 50 Lumber and 10 Material Stones. (And Crafting Licence)

For a Forge, you'll need 3000 Gold, 30 Lumber and 25 Material Stone.

He has:

Steel Sword:1210G
  ATK 29 DIZ 6


Vest: 1300G
  DEF +9, MAG DEF +2

He has Leather Gloves and an Iron Shield but I found those in Chests.

14 Spring:

Today would be the Spring Thanksgiving in most RF and HM games.  When I gave Vishnal a Gift, he made many different responses in each attempt.  On the last one, giving him Butter I had made, he told me he appreciated a homemade gift on his birthday.  It shouldn't BE his birthday though.  He did not make the birthday comment when I tried other gifts on the same morning, chiefly Apple Juice.

Today I received a Toyherb with the Ambrosia's Thorns when I defeated the Monster in her glade.

I am not playing the way I once did.  I am taking my time, spending as much energy on fishing and exploring as going through the Dungeons.  I did finally hit the switch in the Water Ruins to battle the four Minotaurs.  There was a Battle Axe in the centre and a chest appeared after with a Round Off and Paragone.  What is truly interesting is that I returned with a slot that looked empty but which contained an Invisible Stone.

Invisible Stone: 660G (Lv. 2)
  Upgrrade Material, Difficulty 33
  A stone that is invisible.  Difficult to find for obvious reasons.  It's classified as a monster in a country to the east.

Well, I defeated the lovely Unicorn in the Water Ruins.  Did not obtain any trophy, but instead, lugged the guy to the clinic.

17 Spring:

I made a logistic error a few days ago when I took a request from Forte to harvest 5 Radishes.  On the same day, I planted five Radishes, so obviously would not be able to harvest them for DAYS.  I finally cancelled the request to take some other ones.  I shipped Toyherbs, shipped Level 2 Turnip and shipped 20 Turnips...  today I took the Request from Forte again after harvesting the Radishes, completing it instantly.  All these Requests are supposed to improve the quality and diversity of Seeds at the Market.

In any event, I doubt the delay hurt that much.  I have been obtaining Level 2 Seeds from my harvests ot Level 1 Turnips, Potatoes, Spinach, Radish and Toyherb.


19 Spring:


Reborn Don Juan:  When you strengthen your weapons, use stuff like Fire Crystals to change the element.

When I spoke to Arthur this morning in the square, he told me goblins were becoming too common and asked me to get rid of 4 Goblin Archers for him.   The Reward was a Stick.  Big deal but I think it may increase his Friendship.

I had a Request to Mine some Iron and received an Amethyst as a Reward.  Again, it's nothing to write about really but it clears the board for new Requests.  I was told that I would be able to accept up to three requests per day beginning tomorrow.

Got second place in the De Fluffing Contest.  Decided to leave it as I got a Round Shield and 4 Wooly and 4 Large Fur

Development:
New Backpack: 500p
New Fridge: 50p  20 Material Stone
New Storage Box: 50p  20 Lumber
Expand Room 1000p  75 Lumber, 50 Material Stone
Expand Farm 10000p  50 Lumber 30 Material Stone
Build Monster Barn
  Build: 100p Lumber 50, Material Stone 30
  Expand 200p 100 Lumber, 80 Material Stone

New Fridge: from 90 to 150
New Storage Box from 90 to 150

20 Spring:

After buying the Chemistry Licence, a new option appeared.

Add Ability Slot:  Increase the number of slots for Rune Abilities
Princess Points 1000p.

No new Festivals have appeared in the Menu.  I have over 1000p but I do not wish to squander them on Abilities I shan't use.

Chemistry Licence is only 100 p.

Questions are:
With the Chemistry Set, medicine can be crafted from:
Plants, Flowers, etc.

If your Max RP is lower than the RP needed:
Crafting cannot occur.

Requests on the board:

Raise Frioendship Levels:  Raise every one's FP to 1 or higher
   Reward: Greeting Magic

Give Monsters Tasks
  Reward: Striking March

Harvest 3 Flowers
  Reward; More Flower seeds

Harvest 6 Veggies
  Reward: more vegetable seeds

Ship Fish
  Ship Pike
  Reward: ??? Princess Points

Make a Delivery
  Give 2 Medicinal Herb to Xiao Pai
  Reward: ??? Princess Points

Get rid of Monsters
  Get rid of 4 Ant.
  Reward: ??? Princess Points

I shipped the Pike and was given a random item and random number of Princess Points.  The firt time it was Failed Dish and 200.  The second time it was 3 Purple Grass and 300.

For Chemistry Set, I need 1000 Gold, 30 Lumber and 30 Material Stone.  Don't have enough gold.

AFter completing the Pike Request, a new one appeared.

Ship Turnip
  Reward: ??? Princess Points
Make a Delivery
  Give 4 MEdicinal Herb to Dylas
Reward: ??? Princess Points

Interesting.  The Ant Request was changed to Wooly and the Delivery from one person to another.
Reward for the Wooly was Cheap Waterpot and 100 and some PP.  The next time, it was Moondrop Seeds, Lv. 2, so I kept those.  And 200 PP.

Now Ship Fish is back on the board, but this time it is Needlefish.  As I suspected, placing it in the Shipping Bin will not satisfy the Quest.  It has to wait until 8.00 a.m. tomorrow now.

21 Spring:

Gave Vishnal Squid Sashimi because it was at hand and he told me, oddly again that it was an honour to receive a handmade gift for his birthday, although it is not his birthday as far as I know.  He then told me:  A single bin of Fertiliser will cover a whole field.  It consumes three portions of frtiliser per day but if the fields expand, you may need more.

22 Spring:  Explored the Cave that is found by leaping from the cliff a bit more today.  Made lots of Broadswords for shipping.  With the Invisiblade, I can defeat the Boss in the Water Ruins easily.  He now gives Lightning Mane where he gave only Fur the first time.   I have shipped Bronze and Orange to see if they appear in any seller's menu...

23 Spring:  Ellie's Birthday today according to Margaret.  Margaret: Tomorrow is Ellie's birthday, She really likes her tea, so I think I'll write some music for her that's suitable or tea time.

Got a random request from Doug to give him Blue Grass.  Reward is Lightning Mane, wroth a bit when shipped.


I now have the Forge, the Crafting Bench and Chemistry Set.  Sadly, although I collected sufficient gold for the Pot yesterday, I did not have enough Stone until late at night.

Procoline says about the Pot:  I recommend this as the first step after you've got your Pro Licence, so I bought that.

As soon as I saw Illuminata, I wished her a happy birthday and she said thanks.  She then asked if I would bet whether Clorica would give her a birthday present today or tomorrow.  I gave her toy herb and she said:

Toy Herb?  Thanks!  What a great birthday present.  Thanks.

I met a girl at the south end of the plaza who told me she had to save Dolly and to meet her at the bridge in the Southwest.

Fancy Hat: Insect Carapace, String
Silk Hat; Black Grass,  Insect Carapace

Rescued Dolly who became Dolce and then refused to let Venti die.  Have to go to find Leon now.  I found his lair but did not enter yet.

Having taken one more request to defeat a single Cluckadoodle, I gained more Princess Points so that the following appeared:

Blossom's Furniture: 800p
  Blossom will sell useful furniture
Ellie's Floweshop:500p
  Illuminata will sell previously shipped flowers
Blossom's Groceries: 500p
  Blossom will sell previously-shippe crops.  500 P.
Cooking Bread Love:1500p
  Procoline will bake more Cooking bread each day (this one was here as soon as I bought the last one about Cooking Bread)

Jewelry Shop 2000 p
  I can invite a merchant who sells gems to the town

Clothing Shop: 800p
  I can invite a merchant who sells clothes to the town.

I only had 2100p so I wasn't about to spend all of that on the gem merchant... got the Blossom Grocery expansion for now.  I want Oranges in the shop!

Took another request:  Make a Weapon, Reward: Iron, Bronze
  REceived 3 Iron and only 1 Bronze.

Took another:  Ship Pink Turnip
Unfortunately I saved it before I realised it would have to be ANOTHER Pink Turnip and not one shipped previously and that it had to ship which meant not until 8.00 a.m.!


My titel has changed now as well from Struggling Princess to Respected Princess.

25 Spring:

If I were to obtain the Jeweler, it would announce that he would have a stall at the Bell Hotel but I might be able to find him and buy from him at the Baths.  He had: Bronze, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Iron and Emerald, all of which I had shipped previously.

If I order the Furniture Option:

Double Bed: 30000 Gold, 80 Lumber 40 Stone
Bookshelf: 4000 Gold, 80 Lumber 20 Stone

Event with Kiel.  His pocket watch was stolen.  Illuminata said it was not a ghost but a cat burgler and ran off.

Barrett told me about his children.
My older son is Leonel.  He's quieter, nice.  His little sister is named Yuri.  She's still a baby.  But it's easy to see that she'll be trouble when she's older.  A tomboy.

Eliza:  I was made from a large tree rooted in the earth.  What wasi it called...?  I think it's called 'Sha...' something.  I wonder if I can talk because of the earth power held by that tree...  Hmm... I guess it doesn't matter.

I collected my second Invisible Stone today from a rock to the right of the entrance to Ambrosia's Lair!

Little Event with Dolce at the Baths.

When you speak to other Characters before some one's birthday, they will remind you.  For example:
Clorica:  I want to buy some flowers as a present to Amber.  And I want them before Spring 26.

Freya:  What a wonderful idea.
Clorica:  But she works at the flower shop.  If I try to buy them while she's there...  then she'll be able to guess what I got for her birthday present ahead of time.  I don't know what to do.  Maybe I should ask Miss Ellie if she has any good ideas...
Freya:  Um, why don't you buy the flowers when Illuminata is the one minding the store?
Clorica:  Oh...!  That might just work.  Thank you, freya.

Margaret:  Tomorrow is Amber's birthday.  I think I'll write a cute, bouncy song for her and give her a nice bouquet, too.

Gave Amber Toyherb for her birthday and she was very pleased.

Tomorrow is the Harvest Festival.  My highest level of any Crop is Level 4.

I got a random request from Clorica simply to accept her gift.  It was a random power.  Most of the time it was Power Wave or Striking March which I had, but I finally got Hurricane.

Arthur has Trade Goods now.  Today he has Sonic Wave, but I am a bit short.  Price is 2500G.

Ursine Don Juan:  Try fully growing 4 of the same crop in the same patch of field.  The next day, they'll have merged into one enormous crop!  I'd like to see that some day.

I actually won the Harvest Festival with a Level 2 Radish.  When he explained that length of time as well as the seasonal nature of the crop was important, I decided to go with a longer growing crop.  In retrospect, it probably would have been easier to win with the Level 2 Potato.  In any case, this was interesting because I got the appeal where I had to defend the crop.  Margaret asked me why I chose this one and I told a Romantic Story, which made her swoon.  Blossom asked what crop it was and I told her it was a Radish.  She said that was a test.  Then Nancy asked if it would keep her healthy.  I could have said she never would become ill again, or that she should take her own medicine, but I told her the Radish would help keep her healthy and that was correct.  With 180 points, I passed both Porco and Amber and won.

I saved in another slot and went for the Level 3 Potato.

Hmm, this is a seasonal crop!  It's perfect for this contest!  Oh, but you must have gone to great effort to grow it, no?  My, this grew beautifully!  Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to appeeeeaaaal!  I'd like you to appeal your crop, Miss Freya!

Arthur asked what quality I would like to use: Love, Guts, Friendship.  I chose Friendship, thinking he meant with him.

He said: A friendship with the crop?  Interesting premise.  It's not persuasive to me personally, but I can't fault you on your premise.  I'd like to discuss it with you in depth sometime.

Dolce:  Come to think of it, what's your general opinion on vegetables?  Do you like them?
(She told me she did not like raw vegetables)

My choices: I love them.  Not really.  Well, I like growing them.

I chose: Well, I like growing them.
Pico:  That didn't really answer the question, though.
Dolce:  That's fine, though, isn't it?  I wasn't really looking for a straight answer, to be honest.  All I care about is the taste.
Margaret:  My, what a lovely specimen!  May I ask for what reason you grew this particular crop?
Now: Tell a romantic story, tell a sad story, just say whatever.
This time:  Tell a sad story

Freya:  I felt if I didn't grow it... then it would die, all alone... as a poor, neglected orphaned seed, never to see the beauties of this world...

Margaret:  SNIFFLE... Th-that's so ... very sind of you, Freya... SOB

I got third place!!!  So the appeal is worth more than the crop itself.  Reloaded to the other file where I had won!

As my prize, I received Love-Love Rod, Intelligencer and Relax Tea Leaves as well as Bread.

I think I'll wait another day before I fight the Terror Tree to get more Love Points with Doug.

I almost forgot Xiao Pai's Request... had completed it but needed to speak to her to obtain the Big Bird Comb.

For only 300p and 50 Lumber I can increase my Storage... need to do that.

For Chinese Manju, Arthur:  Thank you.  I was just getting hungry.  Things ready to eat are a great help.  Thank you.  I daresay, what's more satisfying than Chinese Manju?

In front of Bado's Forge:

Forte;  Hurry... new parts...
Bado:  ... don't have... here

Forte: But I ... to fix... fast!  Please!

I enter to find them both there.

Freya:  Excuse me!
Bado:  Oh, hey  welcome.
Forte:  hello.

My choices:
Did something happen?
Something need fixing?

I chose:  Something need fixing?
Forte:  N-n-no, nothing!!  Erm, excuse me!  I must be going!
Freya: ...?
She rushes out.
Freya: What just happened?
Bado:  Ha ha!  Well, I guess every hone has their little issues.  Even her.
Freya:  Oh...

Arthur for Chinese Manju:  I may have it?  Thank you.  I like Chinese Manju.  I like onigiri as well.  They're easy to eat.

Beach Day:

If you want to dress for the occasion,  make an order for the clothing shop.  Then buy a swimsuit.  You can buy clothing in different colours.  I daresay each appeals to a specific bachelor or eligible girl.

To unlock Autumn Road, speak to Lin Fa and she will tell you about Rune Stones and declare that some oe in the lobby has seen one.

He had the blue gem but a monster took it and went into a cave.  Pass the bridge in the south of Obsidian Mansion and you'll get to Autumn Road.  Always autumn there.  That's where the cave is.  There's a huge stump near the cave, so you can use that as a landmark.

To reach the final switch in the Forest, ask Kiel to accompany you there and go to the place where your character always says that soming is not quite right.  He will create a shortcut for you.

Doug says he doesn't trust any one but when I gave him Onigiri today, he said he liked it as always but then said : Hey, I made a thank you gift for you.  It isn't much but it's better than nothing.'  It was a sandwich!

Arhtur for Salmon Sashimi today:  Thank you. Were yo aware that today is my birthday?  Hm?  What are my preferred foods?  Things like onigiri and sandwiches for example.

Arthur:  Birthdays are a wonderful thing.  Iw as able to thoroughtly ejoy Prodoline's cooking today.  He was courteous enough to wait a whole minute for me.
Freya:  Wait, what?
ARthur:  Kiel was kind enough to give me a magnifying glass.  It seems he remembered I'm fond of collecting glasses
Freya:  Does that even count?
Arthur:  ...  AFter much consideration, yes, it does...
 Freya:  Wow, uh... that's some pretty broad tastes you have.

ARthur:  Oh, Onigiri?  I think these are quite tasty.  I like them very much.  Hm?  A birthday present for me?  Why thank you!  I appreciate it very much.

THE RUNNING SIGN TOWN EVENT

I think you have to talk to Dolce first and she will say she doesnt' ahve that many friends.

Then go to the Flower shop and speak to Illuminata:
Illuminata:  SIGH... I wish something big would happen, so I could 'strut my stuff' as it were...
Freya:  Hey, um...

Walk up towards the General store and suddenly Illuminata and Forte will be talking outside the flower shop:

Illuminata:  It was soon after I woke up this morning that I noticed the graffiti...
'These flowers are very pretty'.
Forte:  Taht's ... complimentary.
Illuminata:  I guess. 
Forte:  Do you have any idea who the culprit may be?
Amber:  I think it might've been a ghost.
Fote:  A ghost?!
Amber:  Yeah. I saw the letters just kinda draw themselves.
Forte: ...
Amber:  Are you okay, Forte?  You look really pale.
Forte:  I'm perfectly fine, of course!Anyway, please leave this issue to me. I swear I'll find the one responsible for it.
Amber:  Even if it's a ghost?
Forte: ...

If you speak to them:
Amber:  This morning, I saw letters draw themselves on our wall.  Ellie was really happy.  She said it was a new case.
Ellie:  Graffiti on the walls.  A vandal who simply disappears.  A mysterious message maybe meant to attrract customers/  Who would benefit the most from that?  I've got it!  The culprit has to be the owner of a flower shop!!  Wait a minute..
Forte:  Ghosts doen't exist.  Ghosts don't exist.  ghosts don't exist.  Ghosts don't exist...
Freya:  Her knees are shaking.

Walk north towards the airship.


Then as I approach the airship:
Trveler:  Why is there graffiti o n the wall of the flower shop?
Travelr: I heard a ghost did it.
Really?
There's athis really creepy old house over on the hill, right?  They say a girl who'd lived there just moved into this town.
Wait, isn't that...
The leave 
Dolce (overheard it all): ...

Now speak to Dolce in front of the airship:
Doce: So they doubt me.  Unsurpriing.  Everything they said is tue, after all.
Freya...
Dolce:  Would you stop worrying so much about me?  It's patronising, and i'm not a child any more.
Frey: Sorry.
A sign suddenly appears.
Dolce:  What
Board:  She really meant thank you fo ryour concern.
Dplce:  What?! ...  Pico!
The sign runs and she runs after.

Go to the squrare from the clinic area and three people will be talking.
VIshnal:  It looks like this graffiti incident is spreading across the entire town.
Clorica: ...
Visnal:  ERm, Clorica?
Clorica:  No I'm not asleep.
Vishnal:  I, um, didn't say you were.  Do you know if Forte heard yert?  That the grafitti artist is a ghost...
Forte:  A ghost?
Vishnal:  Some people suspect it may be Pico...
Forte:  O-oh, yes.  That half-transparent girl who moved here reccnetly.
Visnal:  Erm... yes.
Forte:  She's only HALF-transparent, and doesn't look like  ghost.  Thus, she's not a ghost.  Ghosts, after all, do not exist.  They are iaginary things that the mind conjures when scared.

The sign now races across the square with Doce in hot pursuit.
Forte: ...
Clorica:  Forte?  Is tsomething wrong?
Forte:  G-g-ghost...

The sign rushes past the other way towards the general store and Dolce follows.

AFter speaking to the three in the square,
Forte:  Ghosts on't exist, etc.
Freya:  She's really shaking.
Vishnal: Yes.  every one has been talking about ghosts recently.  Even Forte has supposedly seen one around...
Clorica:  I had a gdream where Vishnal was talking about ghosts.... Wait, is this a dream?
 follow...

Doug:  You're the one who scrawled that graffiti on Grany Blossom's shop, aren't you?
Dylas: ...  Do you really think I would make that much effort to do something nice for you?
Doug:  HEY!!!!
Doug:  But you do have a point.  Ugh.  Now I've just wasted effort.  Taling to YOU.
Dyla:  What?!
Dolce arrives.
Dolce:  Move, you two.  Have your lovers' spat somewhere else, please.
Dulas and Doug:  Wha?!

The sign affirves.
Dolce:  You got a problem wiht that?
Dylas:  Wait, that...
Dolce: Hm?
Board:  It must be nice, being good enough friends to argue like that.... is what you are thinking, correct?
Dolce: ...  I see... This is your way ot asking to die again, isn't it?
Doard: ...?!
The sign rushes off north and Dolce follows.
Doug:  Y'know, she's actually a pretty interesting person.
Dylas:  Yeah.

Speak to them:
Dylas:  A running sign, eh?  Uttterly ridiculous.
Freya:  Though he seems like he was amused by it all.
Doig:  I can't trust anyting...

Go north now.
Dolce:  Now where did she get to...?

You ahve to move towards the bathhouse or airship to get the next event.

Xiao Pai:  Dolce.  What is your hurry?
Dolce:  R-running.  HUFF
Xiao Pai:  Ic an see you were running with my own eyes, yes?
Dolce:  No...  Have... HUFF... you seen a running... HUFF... sign?
Xiao Pai: Signs are only signs if they hold still where all can see them...
Dolce: ...

Walk towards them and speak to Xiao Pai.

Xio Pai:  Alright.  How can I help?
Dolce:  What?  I diddn't ask for any help.
Xiao Pai:  Yes.  It seems I was not asked to offer you help.
Dolce: ...  Will you help me chase down that sign?  Pico is the one carrying it.  I know she won't be leaving town.
Xiao Pai:  How?
Dolce:  Straying that far will snap her link to me, sending her to the afterlife.
IXiao Pai: ...?
Dolce:  Ghosts cannot venture too far away from the one they are haunting.  /and the one Pico has chosen to haunt is me.
Xiao Pai:  Ah, so that's what it is, yes?  I see.
Dolce:  Oh, by the way...
Xiao Pai: Yes/
Dolce:  I... appreciate your help.
Xiao Pai: Hrm.  It seems you do not easily speak what you feel.
Dolce: ... Whatever...
The sign rushes over.
Xiao Pai:  By the way.  THe sign you are searching for is the one prsently behind you, yes?
Dolce:  What?
Dolce: (!)
Board:  But I want to be honest.... is what she's thinking.
Dolce: ...DIE.
The sign goes south now and Dolce runs after.
Xiao Pai: (!)  Hrm?  I see words that are writing themselves on the wall.
Go over there and read:
The owner of this inn is really pretty and nice.  Her daughter tries very hard at everyting.
Xiao Pai:  Interesting. It seems those words wrote themselves on the wall after the sign had left.  What could ithat mean?
Other writing:  Please be kind to Dolce.  She wants more friends.

Go south and speak to Dolce:
Now where did she get to?

Go further south to the Clinice to find Forte and you automatically will say:
Freya:  Forte?
Forte turns towards you: (!)
Forte:  Oh, Freya, I...  YEEP!
The sing comes towards you.
Freya: Pico?
Board:  I'm sorry.  I do not know the Pico of whom you speak.
Freya: ...
Dolce:  There you are.
The sign runs left and Dolce is there.  We all turn towars the sign.
Frey: uh.oh...
Dolce:  YOu will not escape me again.
She rushes after it.
Forte: Erm...
Ooh!  You look so lovely when you are enraged, Dolly!
Forte: Yikes!
Pico appears below us.
Freya and Forte both: (!)
Pico:  Why are you so startled?
Frey:  The sign!  It just went over that way... you you are still here!
Pico:  Oh, that.  I simply threw the sign I had been carrying around is all.  And milady was kind enough to fall for it completely...
Dolce:  Pico, where have you gone?
Pico: (!)
Dolce:  If you disappear... if I lose you, I don't know what I'll do!
Pico:  Dolly...!  Don't you worry, milady!  I'm right here for you!
Dolce:  Pico!  Thank goodness!
Pico: Milday!  Milady!  I've missed you, too! (I'm so happy!)
Dolce:  I know.  Thank you for completely falling for that trick, by the way.
Pico:  Gah!  I'm trapped!  Well, I'm strangled is more like!!
Dolce:   Don't oworry.  YOu're already dead so you can't die again.
Pico:  Oh... oh my... I see a field... A beautiful field of flowers...

Fade to black.

AFter:
Forte: Before, it had felt as if there was some distance between Dolce and us.  Now, I feel like we've become closer.
Freya:  yeah  I think just being around those two will make ghosts and stuff a lot less scary.
Forte:  Oh no.  Ghoast are san entirely different matter.  Ghosts do not exist, you see.

If you speak to Dolce by the bridge:
Dolce:  Honestly, you are such an embarrassment!'
Pico: Oh, you don't mean that, milady.  It was cute and endearing.  Don't you agree?
Your choices:
Yeah!
Utterly embarrassing.

If you choose: Yeah.
Dolce:  Ah, I see. Is that your way of asking to die?

Pico:  Hi, Freya!
Freya:  Pico, where did you come from?
Pico:  I'm always near Dolly.
Dolce:  That's right.  Astalker, or a pervert, when you get right down to it.

Margaret said the 22nd was Married Couples Day.

A day after I completed the Running Sign Event, I got another one:

A Friendly Secret
Participants: Margaret, Clorica, Xiao Pai, Fote

Freya:  So, you hate tomatoes?
Jones: Yes.
Freya:  So wha are your favourite foods?
Jones:  I like anything my wife cooks.
Freya: I- I see.

Only four monsters to a barn, which is why I could not tame any others!  Built a new one without any difficulty...

Tall Asuka:  Be careful when eating.  If yiu eat a dish with great bonuses, and then eat something else... the bonuses will switch to what the second dish gives you.  If you want to heal yourself after you have eaten a dish, try using Recovery Potion.

Did not initiate the Town Event until I entered the Restairant in the evening and spoke to Clorica.

Clorica:  Oh, I know.  Why, just the other day I was taking a nap on one of the clinic's beds.
MArgaret:  What, you were napping there again?  Clorica, you need to sleep in your own bed, y'know.
Clorica:  Ah ha ha!  I know.  I know.  But the beds are just so comfy...  But anyway, I was napping there when I noticed Nancy nearby doing the same thing.
Margaret:  Wow, it's not often that you can catch Nancy sleeping on the job.
Clorica:  I heard she had been very busy and got just a little tired.  So, while she was sleeping, Jones came by...  and then came over just so he could give her a kiss on the forehead!
MArgaret:  Oh, how sweet!

I then speak to them:
Margaret:  Now that you mentioned it, not that long ago, I was playing the piano at the restaurant.  I saw Nancy and Jones stop by together for dinner.  There, Nancy decided to have some Flan for dessert.  When Porocline brought it out, she was so happy she laughted like a little girl.  but then she took a big spoonful and held it up to Jones.  Then... she said...  'Say 'aaah'!'
Clorica:  *SQUEE*  How romantic!

Clorica:  It's so nice that they're such a happy couple.


Porcoline: ...
Margaret:  Why is he so quiet?
Dylas:  Uhh, Porco?  Hello?
Porcoline:  ...Huh?  Oh, I was just thinking about the past...
Margaret:  I don't think I've heard all that much about your past.  What was it like?
Porcoline:  I'm sure I have a portrait around here somewhere...
Margaret:  Ooh!  Can I see?
Dylas:  I'd like to see it too.
Porcoline:  here we have it!
Margaret:  All right!  Let's check it out.
Dylas:  HOLY...!
Margaret:  Is... is this you, Porco?!  It looks like a total stranger!
Dylas:  It's can't be!  Who is this?!
Porcoline:  Ha hahaha!
MArgaret:  W-wait... who's that beautiful woman next to you!?
Dylas:  She looks like an elf.  Was she your girlfriend?!
Porcoline:  HAHAHAHA!

Walked back into the restaurant in the afternoon to experience Part II of the Town Event.

The participants were at table.
Xiao Pai:  Nancy and Jones are so sweet.  It seems they always stay at our inn during their anniversary.
Margaret:  What, they just go to your place for their wedding anniversary?
Xiao Pai:  And what is that supposed to mean?
Margaret:  Oh, sorry!  I didn't mean anything by that.  Really.
Clorica:  So why do they stay over/  They have a reason, right?
Xiao Pai:  Yes.  It seems Jones does it so that Nancy will not have to worry about housework for a day.  And nany does it so that Jones has an excuse to take a day off of work, yes?  So each says they do it for the other.
Margaret:  How wonderful!  It's almost as if they can read each other's minds.
Clorica:  Isn't it so sweet?
Xiao Pai:  Yes, it seems so.
Forte:  Pardon me.  Is Clorica here?
Every one: (!)
Forte:  Ah, there you are.
She walks to the table.
Clorica: Oh, hello, Forte.  Do you need something?
Forte:  Yes, I have something to ask you about the castle's equipment.
Clorica:  Oh, well in that case...

I walk over to speak to them.
Forte:  I see.  Thank you, Clorica.
Margaret: (!)  Ah!  Forte, what do you think?
Forte:  Huh?
Clorica:  As a girl, it's natural to want to be cheirshed and adored by the one you love, right?
Forte:  Erm, well... I...
Clorica:  Then would you like it better if he was the domineering type?
Forte:  Wh-wha?  O-of course not!
(Forte with tear, Margaret with music)
Margaret:  Right.  Loving, caring couples are so much better, aren't they?
Xiao Pai:  It seems so!  I would like to be a couple in that way some day, yes?
AFter:
Margaret:  Oh, cmon, Forte.  Stop pretending you aren't interested.
Xiao Pai:  We could all use their closeness as a good example to our own relationships.
Clorica:  I wonder if Nancy and Jones take naps together.
Forte:  Sheesh.
Tame a Buffamoo with Fruit or a fruit Juice such as Apple Juice.  Onigiri, Bread, Toast and Pickled Trnip all make it ill.

Now Dylas says:

Dylas:  There's nothing worthwhile about talking to me.
Freya:  That's not true.  I enjoy getting to know you.
Dylas:  Why?!
Freya:  Id on' know.  I just do.
Dylas:  Hmph.  And what would you do with the information you learn about me, huh?  Besides, I have no interest at all in you.
Freya:  Please don't say that.  Why don't we talk more?  That way I'd get to know you... and you'd get to know me.  I'm sure that would make it more fun for us to talk in the future, too.
Dylas: ...
Freya:  Well, I'll see you later.
Dylas: ...

He's at 3.  Kiel is highest at 4 that is almost a 5.  Others at four now are Vishnal, Clorica, Volkanon, Forte,, Procoline,  Blossom, Arthur.  then at 3 are Bado, Margaret,  Dylas, Doug, Dolce, Lin Fa, Amber, Illuminata, Jones, Nancy, Xiao Pai, Ventuswill, Barrett.

Arthur for Onigiri:  Thank you.  I enjoy these.  They are best eaten on an empty stomach.  Pickles are also wonderful, because I can enjoy them so easily and quickly.

Dylas:  ...
Freya:  What are you doing?
Dylas: ...  I was thinking about fishing.
Freya: (Ah... he's talking to me!)  Erm... so you fish?
Dylas: Yeah...
Freya:  (We might've just taken a big step forward.)

I was chasing him into the bathhouse to give him Milk but instead walked into an Event.

Xiao Pai:  Freya!
Illuminata:  We found the culprit!
Arthur (with tear):  No, we didn't.  But we did find a rather helpful ally.
Freya:  Huh...?

Barrett comes down the stairs.
Barrett:  So I heard you're looking for Omni Gate.
Freya:  Omni Gate?
Barrett:  It's a moving magic that you use to summon something from the Froest of Beginnings.
Freya:  So... it can...!
Barrett:  Yeah.  It can also call bring some one back.  I know some one who actually came back by using that magic.
Freya: (!)  What?!
Arthur:  It was a lucky coincidence.  I was searching for information on the person who returned from the Forest of Beginnings... and learned that some one in this town happens to know that person well.  But then Amber came in and I lost my focus.  I woulnd up leaving empth-handed.
Illuminata:  I'd actually sent Ameber to the castle to search for clues, while I myself investgated the inn.  I figured those are the best two places to begin,no?  And then I got my lucky break!
Xiao Pai:  (with tear)  The water in the vase was dirty, you see.  So I tried to change it, but I ... it has dropped.  It seems I will always be clumsy.
Barrett:  And that stopped me from going home.
Arthur:  And that's when I happened to be passing by.  Since I only had scraps for clues, I was worried I'd never be able to find him....  but thanks to that bandana, I recognised him instantly.
Barrett:  So that's how you found me.
Freya:  So he's the one... you were looking for?
Arthur:  Yes.
Freya:  S-So, what's the magic that can bring some one back from the Forest of Beginnings?
Barrett:  Right.  It's a magic called Omin Gate.  If you'd like to learn it, I can teach you.
Freya:  Yes, please!
Barreett:  Just bear in mind...  that not every one can use it.
Freya:  What...?
Barrett:  To be honest, I can't.  It's a magic that only the Earthmates can use.
Arthur:  And that's our current dilemma.
Freya;a (!)  Well, that should be no problem.  Beacuse I'm an Earthmate!
Every one: (!)
Illumiata:  What?!
Barrett:  Seriously?  Then, should I just... go ahead and teach you?
Freya;  Sure  That would be great!
Fade to black, then:
Barrett:  All  right.  Can you remember this?
Freya:  Absolutely.
Barrett:  All right.  Let's give it a shot, then.  THere's some one you want to help within the Frost of Beginnings, right?
Freua:  Yes.
Barrett:  Then just think of that person's name inside your head...
Freya:  Leon...
Barrett:  Now try to come up with some specific detail you know about that person.
Freya:  he's the very first Guardian who tried to save Venti!
Barrett:  Okay.  Now, say the spell name!
Freya:  OMNI GATE!
Special effects, then:
Freya:  Whaaa?!
An explosion and she falls.
Arthur:  Freya!
Barrett:  You all right?
Freya:  I suddently felt so much power rushing into my body...
BBarrett:  ... Did you...  ... try to move an uncontrollable number of runes?   If you're just trying to summon a person or a monster, that shouldn't happen.  What were you trying to call?
Freya:  ... I guess... it's because Leon is still a Guardian...
Barrett:  Whatever it is, I don't think this spell's going to do the trick.
Freya: ...  Then I'll have to go to the Forest of Beginnings myself.
Every one: ()
Arthur:  Wha...?!
Xiao Pai (Stupid!)  It's too dangerous!
Illuminata:  That's right!  YOu don't know what's out there!  THere's no guarantee that you'll even get to the Forest of Beginnings.
Freya:  We already had an idea how to get inside.  And as an Earthmate, I'm the only one who can save him.  So I'll enter the Froest of Beginnings from the large gate... and use this magic to leave.
Barrett:  You can't do that.
Freya: (!)
Barrett:  Omni Gate... is a magic to call soemthing from the Forest of Beginnings to where you are now.
Freya:  So if I use it there...
Barrett: It won't do a thing.  I mean, it's designed to call something, to begin with.  You can't use it on yourself.
Freya:  So...
Arthur: ...
Barrett (...)  But you can use this instead.
Freya: Huh...?
Barrett:  it's a Returning Ring.  With it, you can come back from the Froest of Beginnings.  Though it'll break after only one use.
Arthur:  Wow... where did you get such a thing?!
Barrett:  I used to research the ancient Ath writings of the Earthmates.  I wanted to use Earthmate magic even though I wasn't an Earthmate myself. ... Partially so I could lend aid to the person I know who came back. But also to help out any reckless fools who feel invinciple just because they're Earthmates.  (He looks fround at every one.) I'm sure you can all understand exactly what I mean.
Xiao Pai:  Yeah, I think so.
Arthur:  All too well.
Illuminata:  it doesn't take a dective to fugure out what you're implying.
Freya: (?)
Barrett:  Looking at you, it makes me realise all over again... that you Earthmates are kind-hearted but impossibly stubborn.
Freya's choice:
Thank you very much.
You're making me blush...
Feya:  Thank you very much.
Barrett:  It's not a compliment.  ... Sorry...  Anyway...  That ring reacts to spells.  So hold onto the person you want to save, and chant: 'Aria'.  Once you chant the spell, it'll transfer both and you wahtever you're holding.  But you've only got one shot.  So don't mess it up.
Arthur:  Freya...
Freya:  it's all right.  I promise I'll save Venti!
Illuminata;  That's the spirit!
Xiao Pai:  Yes!  Good luck!
Arthur: I'm afriad you're the only hope we've got now.  But I have faith in you, Freya.
Freya: ... Thank you!

After:
Barrett:  I wish I could give you more.  But I've only got one right now.  It's actually quite difficult to make.  Sorry.  It may be your only chance, but at least it's a chance.  Best of luck to you.

Arthur:  The REturning Ring...  It must've taken a lot to time and effort to make it... We can't let his feeligs go to waste.
Freya's choices:
YWhere's Leon Karnak?
Yes, we must!

Once you pass a bridge in the southwest, you'll find a mansion called Obsidian Mansion.  Leon Karnak is located west of that mansion.  Can you remember that?

Illuminata:  Freya!  You mustn't thank me!  It's my job to solve mysteries.  So you can always depend on me, whnever you have any concerns!

For the Town Event, you need to speak to Margaret now, probably at the REstaurant.

Margaret:  Oh, guess what?  I've asked Nancy to tach me all about it.
Freya:  About what?
Margaret:  About the secret to her adoring relationship with Jones!  Freya, if you're interested, come by the clinic, okay?

Now Dylas sayd:  I can't explain it, but I've been waiting for this moment...  I think.  I wonder why...

Dylas: Uh...
Freya:  Hmm?
 Dylas:  The other day...
Freya:  Yeah?
Dylas: ... Actually... Never mind.

Gave him Hot Milk as usual and he thanked me, then:

Hey... uh... thanks.  For everything.  So um, here.  A thank-you gift.

In the clinic, Nancy:

Nancy:  Something funny happened the other day.  You know what Jones did?  Hee hee..
Freya:  What?  What happened?
Nancy:  Even Dolce was trying hard not to laugh.
Freya:  What happaned already?

It's strange.  I saw a lot of people enter the clinic so entered but no event.  I then left the screen, going north and then coming down from the north to enter the clinic again.  This triggered the Eent i need.

Freya: (!)  Who, look at all the people!
Blossom:  I hear Nancy will be giving a lecture on love.  AFter all, it's rear to see a couple as smitte with each other as they are.
Freya:  Very true.
Nancy:  Once, a long time ago, I was one of Jones' patients.  Not much later, he and I came across each other by accident in the capital.  I knew then it had to be destiny.
(All sorts of icons erupt, from hearts to ...)
Nancy?  So I followed him all the way out here, to this town.  But it was hard to get him to do more than glance my way evry now and again.  So I decided I had to go in for the attack!
Margaret:  Oh wo.  What do you mean by 'go in for the attack'?
Nancy:  they say the reoad to a man's heart runs through his stomach.  So I made lots of meals for him.  I wasn't really good at cooking back then, though.  But I kept at it, and kept at it, and eventually, I got better.
Clorica:  Is it important to cook for him een now that you're married?
Nancy:  definitely!  Even now, I make sure to set aside one day a month to cook his favourite, Fried Rice.  He's so happy every time! (music)

Xiao Pai:  Erm.. H-have you thought about children?
Nancy:  Children?  Well...  Yes, I think I'd like to have them someday.  After all, Jones' children are guaranteed to be adorable! (music)
Every one displays a big pink heart.
Forte: (...)
Nancy:  But right now, I'm more than happy with the way we are.  Just being able to hold hands with him is enough for me.
*SQUEE*
Jones enters.
Jones:  What was that?  Is some one hurt?  Excuse me.  Pardon me.  Can I get through please?  I need to give some one first aid.
Every one moves aside so he can reach Nancy.
Nancy:  Jones!
Jones: Nancy.  I heard a scream.  How is the patient?
Nancy:  Oh, it's okay, dear.  Every one is fine.  Everyone asked me to tell them a little about us.  So I was just telling a few old stories.  I ddin't expect so many people to come, though.
Jones:  Ah, so that's what it was.
Nancy:  I'm sorry to worry you, dear.
Jones:  No, it's all right.  I'm just glad no one was hurt.
Margaret:  Excuse me!
Jones:  Yes?
Margaret:  Ah, Jones...?  Could you, um, tell us the secret to your close relationship with Nancy?
Jones:  Oh?  Well, let's see.  I haven't given it much thought, to be honest.  But I can say that I have never once forgotten the warmth of Nancy's hand in mine.
*SQUEE*
Every one: ...
Forte:  Was that all unconsciously...?
Jones: ...?

AFter:
Margaret:  That was fun.  Did you have to make such sour faces the whole time, Forte?  You could have just listened.
Blossom:  Ah, youth.
Forte:  Goodness.  Just listening is enough to make me blush.
Clorica:  Someday I'll be like them...
Nancy:  Oh, Jones.
Jones:  Did I do something strange?

Holly:  Sometimes you will see Runeys on your fields.  Touch them and one of your skill levels will go up.

Strict Roy:  Don't ship crops or raw fish.  It's way more profiable to wait until you've cooked them.

Today a new Licence appeared:  Business Licence 1000 pp.
It allows me to operate my own business.  Interesting.

It's rather amusing.
The best way to attract customers is:
Bring in more tourists
Sleep and wait.
Pray.

Ha ha!
The best way to make money off your items is:
Try bribing people
Trick your customers
Sell arranged dishes

I passed but it said I had to clear out furniture first, so I guess you have the business in your own room!
Weird!

Wow, new Shops:
Bado's Bargain Sale
Fish market 2000 pp
Furniture Shop 1000p
Nationalise Baths 35000 pp

What is the point of the Furniture Shop when Blossom sells it now?

Firefly Festival.
Sadly, no bachelor above 5 so no one would accept an invitation.  Wandered about talking to all of them...

I chose the Fish Merchant for 2000pp.  He sets up in the lobby of the Bell Hotel.

Meanwhile, need to deide whether to expand my room or my farm.  Both cost a fair bit:
Room: 10000 Gold, 1000p, 75 lumber, 50 mat stone
expand Farm: 10,000Gold, 500 p. 50 lumber, 30 mat stone.
Think Farm is more important.  I smashed a lot of my furniture to combine all the cooking tools into one to save some space.

A new field is added, default name Kardia.  Should I keep it that?  Or name it Asgard?

Festial music ended at 21.00.  The new field needs clearing.  Probably needs its own fertiliser bin as well.

New 'Other Things'
Advertise Selphia 1500p
Barrett Comes Daily 300p
Wake Up Clorica: 10 p
Cancel Wake Up Call 5p
 Break all Furniture: 500p

Think I'll wait until morning.


well, I think I should combine all cooking tools into one.  5000 pp.

Had the Introduction Event to Leon at the Big Catch Festival.  God, is he hot!!!

Won the Big Catch Festival.  Today is 17 Summer.
Illuminata:  It so mysterious.  She must've heard a scary story or something.  I can think of no other motive!

Every one is speaking of Clorica's lack of sleep.  She herself said she cannot sleep when she hears a scary story.

Pico:  I hear in some far-fof country, there's a day where the dead come back to life.
Dolce:  Really, now/

18 Summer:
Volkanon:  Tomorrow is the Firefly Festival.  Be sure you ask your lover out today if you choose to do so.  Tomorrow will be too late.

Cute Fiona:  Oh my gawd, you won't believe it!  There are, like, these shoes!  They stop monsters from noticing you!  isn't that, like, so cool?!

22 Summer:  First typhoon of the year.  Nasty business.  I protected my saplings with nutrient but did not have sufficient income to protect all my plots.  Lost a Strawberry and one of the Pink Turnips I intended to grow into a Giant Pink Turnip.

Lively Yvette:  You know how there are mushrooms growing by roads?  I hear there is a super rare type somewhere.  It will sell for  awhole lot of money.



Leon is with ARthur and Kiel.

Leon:  Did you get the data I asked for//
Arthur:  yes.  It's right here.
Leon:  Thanks.  Here... a token of my gratitude.
Arthur:  It's okay.  I didn't have much trouble.  Please, keep these.
Leon:  Are you sure/  I wanted to give you these glas--
Arthur:  AHH?!  Glasses?!  GIMME, GIMME, GIMME!!
Leon:  Ahem.  I wanted to give you these glass-blowing guidebooks.  I thought you might enjoy them.
Arthur: ...

Kiel:  You have a pretty busy job, don't you?
Arthur:  it's not that bad.  I love what I do so much that it hardly even feels like work to me.
Kiel:  Wow, how cool!  Can I help you work sometime?
Arthur:  Certainly, if you'd like!
Kiel:  Yay!

26 Summer:

I believe I had a Heart Event with Arthur when I entered his half of the building yesterday.

Leon likes Salted Seafood as well a Grilled, although he speaks only of Grilled.  If it is made in a Frying Pan, he likes it.

 Freya:  Wh-what the?!

Forte:  Who's there?
Freya:  That voice...

Run back into the plaza and:

Soldier:  Urgh...!

Forte:  If you're looking to start something from the shadows, you've come to the wrong place!  Game's over.  You're only choice now is to surrender.
Soldier:  ...Huh?  You think we're that easy?
Forte:  What...?
Soldier:  Too bad for you.  We have a secret weapon!
Soldier:  ... Now, do it!

Forte: ...?
Soldier: Hey!  I'm talking to you!
Doug:  ... Huh?
Soldier:  What do you mean 'huh?!  We sent you to spy on these people for a reason, you know!
Forte: What...?
Doug: ...!
Soldier: Man, stay focused!  Ehh, whatever.  Let's just get this over with!
Doug:  Uh..
Forte: ... Doug?
Doug: ...
Blossom:  Stop talking nonsense!
Doug:  G-Granny Blossom?!
Blossom:  There's no way that my Doug would do such a thing!
Soldier:  Huh?  Who are you?
Doug:  Stay back, Granny!
Blossom:  No!  How could I?  Why should I?!  Listen.  That boy may look rough, but he's really a very sweet child!  Although he complains like you wouldn't believe, he always helps out at my store.  And you're saying he's a spy for your nasty little empire?  Who's going to believe a silly story like that?!
Doug:  Granny...
Soldier:  It's all a lie.  An act.  Come on, Doug, back me up here.  Say something, dammit!
Doug:  That's...
Blossom:  Hmph!  You must have come up with this ludicrous scheme on the spot, to turn us against each other!  You ought to be ashamed of yourself, you slimy coward...
Soldier:  Tsk... You've crossed the line, you old bag!
Forte:  What?!
Doug:  STOOOP!  AHH!
Blossom:  Doug!!
Freya:  Ack!  No!  Doug!  Are you all right?!
Doug:  Yeah... I'm fine...  ... But what about... Granny Blossom?
Blossom:  Don't you worry about me!
Doug:  PANT  PANT...  Thank... goodness...
Soldier:  Tch.  Moron..
Forte:  You...!
Freya:  Your actions are unforgivable!
Soldier:  Huh?  You're ... Freya, right?  Finally found you!
Freya:  Why do you know my name?
Soldier:  Remember the guy who dropped you from the airship?  I'm his boss.  He's long gone, though, useless idiot he is.
Freya: ...!
Soldier:  I'm surprised you're still alive, falling from that high up.  Had you given me the Rune Sphere back then...  ... Well, I guess it's all the same now, really.
Freya: ...?  What are you...?
Soldier:  Before I get to that, though, let me deal with him first.   ... Hey, you.  What the hell do you think you're doing?!
Doug:  Damn...  Why... is this...? ...
Soldier:  That's my line.  What are you even thinking?  Why are you protecting the enemy?  Ventuswill killed your parents, remember?  Weren't you trying to take your revenge for their deaths?
Doug:  ... That's...
Soldier:  Mybe you've come to realise...  ... that is was actually us that killed your tribe.
Doug:  What...?
Soldier:  You didn't know?  I figured that's the only reason you'd betray us.
Doug:  What... do you mean...?
Soldier:  Huh?  It's exactly as I said!  It wasn't Ventuswill that killed your parents.  It was us Sechs.
Freya:  How unconscionable...
Doug:  ... Why...?
Soldier:  Hmm?  How would I know?  Must be something like refusing the Empire's orders.  That's my guess, anyway.  Which means...  ... you'll be seeing your parents real soon!
Freya:  STOP!!
Soldier:  Hee hee.  I like that!  Can't get enough of it, in fact!  After all, I do have unfinished business with you, so this is just a wonderful opprotunity...
Freya:  What?!
Soldier:  My mission is to get rid of all you annoying Earthmates.  So you'd best say your prayers, because your nuber's up!
Freya:  ...!
Forte:  Over my dead body.
Freya:  Forte...
Forte:  I'm sorry.  Had I been a better knight...  ...But...  I won't let any one get hurt again.
Soldier:  I see.  I wonder if you'll be able to handle the likes of me, though.
Forte:  You think you're good enough to face my sword?
Soldier:  Quite the confident one, huh?  Well, I might not look too intimidating right now...  But...  ... well, surprises should be saved until the end, don't you think?
Forte:  Are you going to start saying that Freya's a spy now?
Soldier:  Bwa ha ha.  This time it's nothing so trite.  No, it's something much simpler than that.  Simply put... I'm stronger than you.  Because I now have the power of the Rune Spheres!
Freya:  What...?!
Soldier:  That's right.  We've collected all the Rune Spheres you placed!
Doug:  Wha...?
Soldier:  Bwa ha ha ha!  This is great!  I can fel the overflowing power of the runes!
Forte:  Ugh...!
Soldier:  Oh yeah...  Now that we've stolen the Rune Spheres...  lovely Ventuswill must be sound asleep.  Down to her last sad gasp...
Freya:  Without that, Venti will...!
Soldier:  Bwa ha ha ha!
Freya:  You...!
Soldier:  I'll be you've sad.  I'll bet you're frustrated!  Don't worry, though.  With the power of the Rune Sphere...  OMNI GATE!!!  I can release you all from your sadness!  Etherlink!  I can send you to the great beyond!  Bwa ha ha ha!  Let me warn you...  that I have no intention of going easy on you!
Forte:  What was that...?
Freya:  A person and a dragon...    And I thought only the Earthmates could use Omni Gate...  ...!  There's o time to waste!  Blossom!  Wh-what is it?
Freya:  Move somewhere safe with Doug!!
Blossom: O-okay...
Doug:  Granny Blossom... hold on to me...
Blossom:  ?!  What are you saying with all those injuries?!
Doug:  Just  listen to me!  This is the least... that I can do...
Blossom:  Doug...
Doug:  Freya... Forte...  Sorry... I'll have to leave the rest to you.
freya:  Don't worry.  We can handle it.
Forte:  You can count on us.
Soldier:  Bwa ha ha!  Heeeeyaaaaaaaaaggghhhh!!  Gwaaaaaoooooogggghhhhh!!
TWITCH  TWITCH   Mmmm...
Forte:  How horrifying...  Freya, this monster is dangerous.
Freya:  I'll fight too.
Forte: ... Then we fight together.  I won't let him do anything to you or this town.
Freya:  That's right.

Fight him now.  It's not difficult.

Soldier:  D-DAMN IT!  I-I'll get you for this!
He ran off.
Doug:  Where is he?
Freya: He ran away.
Doug:  Did he? ...  ... I'm sorry, Freya.
Freya:  Huh?
Doug:  Seems like I've been deceived all this time...  Blaming Ventuswill for what happened to my family...  And dragging you into it, too...
Freya:  Doug...
Forte: ...
Doug:  ...Tsk!  ... The hell's wrong with me?!
Doug: ...!...
Blossom:  Doug...
Doug:  Freya, let's go see Ventuswill.
Freya:  Huh...?
Doug:  They've stolen the Rune Spheres, right?  Then... ngh...!
Blossom:  Doug?!
Freya:  Are you okay?!
Doug:  I'm fine...  But we have to... go see her...  And ... I want to apologise...
Freya: ...  All right.  But before we do, get some rest.
Doug:  ...!  But...  I'm sure Venti's not mad at you.
Freya:  Although...  seeing you in this condition would probably upset her.
Doug: ...
Blossom:  I'll take Doug to the clinic.
Doug:  Blossom...  Y'know, I ...
Blossom:  I'll scold you all you want later.  It's much more important to let your body rest right now.  Come on.  Let's go.
Doug:  ...  I'm sorry.
Forte:  Freya.  I'll go check the town first.  I think Lady Ventuswill would scold me if I didn't.
Freya:  Okay.
Forte:  And...  I must report to Mr. Volkanon about Doug...  We must find out what the Sechs Empire is up to.
Freya: ...
Forte:  But...  I think the most important thing is that...  despite what he thought, he still tried to save this town.
Freya:
Forte...  I'm going now.  Please take care of Lady Ventuswill.

Freya:  I should hurry back to Venti's place!

Now you can find the laboratory and fight the Sechs.

With Leon at 4 hearts and Arthur at 6,  I can get the following dialogue when they are together at Arthur's office:


Leon:  Work, work, work, eh?
Arthur: ...?
Leon:  You never seem to stop working!  How about you take Freya somewhere nice?
Arthur:  Huh?  Take Freya where, exactly?
Leon:  Use your imagination!  What do you think, Freya?  Good idea, right?

My choices now:

It is...
Leon, you take me.
No, I'm good.

Of course, I will choose:  Leon, you take me.

Leon:  What...?
Arthur:  You're the one who should be spending more time with Freya, Leon.

2 Autumn:

Very annoyed I did not find the entrance to the Demon Den in Summer or even Spring.  Still, I now have access to the Dungeon Seeds.  Growing one now.  Will be interesting to explore it when it is 'mature'.

Quiet Stefan:  I chopped down a Chimera Tree the other day and got some Glitta Augite.

Talked to Leon and got this:

Leon:  So, how should I write this?

My choices:  Is that homework?
Ia that a love letter?

Being interested in him romantically, I asked if it were a Love Letter.  To my delight:

Leon:  Yes, it's for you.  ... Just kidding! (music)  Did I get you?

How cruel!

4 Autumn: My birthday

I won first place in the Eating Contest with 10000 Points.  It was not difficult, unlike some of the contests.  I got Butter Roll, Vital Gummi and 9 Cooking Bread as well as Level 9 Frost Edge blades.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Leon:  Tomorrow is another Fishing festival.  Thinking about it, the foxes in my tower were skilled at fishing as well.

Leon is in my room this evening!

Vishnal:  Princess... People tell me my favourite foods are all rather childish.  Do you agree with them?
Yes.
Not at all.

Not at all.
Vishnal:  See?!  People can like whatever they want!

Kiel:  I heard that there's a new sword for sale... Something like... a sword that brings strength to whosoever wields it.

Fish Variety Festival:  Freya could win 1st place with 12 different types of fish.  She went to different seasonal locations to find them.

Leon:  Did you catch any extra fish?  If so, I wouldn't mind taking them,  especially if you cook them for me first.

The Magic Shield Crop delivered a beautiful Magic Pl;ant Shield!

Vishnal:  For Flan or Cookie:  Thank you very much!  I'm honoured to reeive a handmade present from you for my birthday.

Here!  I've cooked a delicious meal for you as thanks for all that you have done for me.  No need to be so formal.  Please, have some!

Dylas:  You always come talk to me for some reason.  Is there something you want to ask me?

What's your favourite food?
What's your type?

I guess I like milk and carrots.
Freya:  Carrots?  You're like a horse.
Dylas: D-don't call me a horse!
Freya:  Oh yeah, weren't you a horse when you were a monster?
Dylas:  Dammit!  Go away!

Now Arthur is in my room!

Arthur:  So cute!  What a cute plush toy!  Where did you get it?

Come to think of it, Leon spoke of the toy as well... so toys draw the bachelors!

Illuminata:  I don't like eating pickled vegetables.

Reached the boss room.

What's that...?

Beared man:  Whoa!  This must be...  the Divine Dragon Terrable  one of the Legendary Native Dragons governing the world.

Serious Soldier:  Yes, my lord.  Although it's not complete, as the research is still in progress.

Beareded:  This is... one of the powers I've been waiting for...

Serious:  My lord!  It's too dangerous!  Please stay away!

Bearded:  Mwa ha ha  This is the Rune Sphere's...  With this, I can wield the power of an Earthmate!  It can be all mine...  It's MAGNIFICENT!  MWA HA HA!

Freya:  Hey!

They all turn.  (!)
Freya:  Give me back the Rune Spheres!
Serious:  Who goes there?  My lord, please step back!
Beard:  You look familiar.  Oh, you're the Earthmate from Selphia!
Freya:  How do you know about me?
Beard:  I didn't expect to see you here.  My name is Ethelberd.  I rule the Sechs Empire.
Freya:  The Emperor of Sechs...?!
Ethelberd:  Earthmate of Selphia.  Did you enjoy the gift I sent you?
Freya:  Gift...?
Ethelberd:  That soldier who bore your precious Earth Sphere.  I knew he'd fall short in the fact of an Earthmate.... but I just wanted to say 'hello'.
Freya:  BEcause of him, Venti and Doug...
Ethelberd:  Doug?... Who's that?
Serious:  He's the spy we sent to Selphia, sir.  The dwarf we manipulated after destroying his town.
Ethelberd:  Hmph.  I don't recall.
Freya:  How can you forget something like that/
Ethelberd:  More importantly... behold, EArthmate!
Terrable roars obligingly.
Ethelberd:  It's Terrable, the Native Dragon!  I've used the Rune Sphere's power to create it!
Freya: ...!
Ethelberd:  It's stunning, just stunning.  The ancient magic you've all created is simply brilliant!
Freya:  You...!
Ethelberd:  Mwa ha ha!  Don't you wish you could experience its strength?
Freya: ...!
Ethelberd kicks it and it attacks me a little.
Ethelberd:  Show me, Earthmate!  Prove your power by defeating this phantom of a god!

The soldiers run after their lord.

Freya defeats Terrable.
Freya:  Phew...  I did it...somehow...  But the Rune Spheres... If that's the kind of power they hold...  what will happen should the town be attacked?

Arthur enters.

Arthur:  Freya!  I've finally found you!
Freya:  Arthur?  What are you doing here?
Arthur:  Well, as I said before, I am technically a prince.
Freya:  Huh?
Arthur:  It's only natural that I come for a personal visit in this time of crisis, no?

My choices:
I suppose that's true.
Umm?

Arthur:  I was only joking of course.
Freya: oh.  Of course you were!  Ha ha ha.
Arthur:  My apologoies.  Plese don't mind my lack of humour!
Freya:  Well. I mean.  The crisis had already passed.  At least, the one that took place here.
Arthur:  (!)  What do you mean?
Freya:  Well...
Screen darkens.
ARthur:  I see.  I had no idea things had gotten so extreme.  But at least we now know for sure that the Sechs have stolen the Rune Speheres.  The problem lies in the power they possess.  I knew it was strong enough to support Lady Ventuswill...  But even Teerrable...?
Freya: ... Anyway, we need to take back the Rune Spheres.
Arthur:  That's right.  Our goal has not changed.
Freya:  So how are things back in the town?
Arhtur:  Oh, no need to worry about that.  With Mr. Vokanon, Forte and countless other skilled guards on duty...  I've also finished most of my tasks as prince.
Freya:  I see.  I'm glad to hear that.
Arthur:  But i'll probably take a whiule for the rinforecements to come.  Acrisis for Lady Ventuswill is equally a crisis for this kingdom.   The royal capital must be quite panicked after such a dramatic report!  It'll take them some time to sort everything out and actually send us the help we need.
Freya: ...
Arthur:  But that should be no problem.  We're well-mamnned as it is.
Freya:  So.. you came here because...?
Arthur:  I came here because I was officially ordered to find you...  and ask you to return to town until reinforcements arrive.... Though, to be honest, I am a tbit worried.  To think the Sechs would go this far!  I'll have to make sure I report this to the king at the first available opportunity.

My coices:
I'll continue the chase.
Time for action!

Time for action!
Arthur: !  Freya...?
Freya:  I need to catch up with them.  The longer i can keep them busy the better our chances right?
Arthur:  That's true but...
Freya:  What's more..  I want Venti to get better as soon as possible.  I want us to share stupid stories and make fun of each other again, like we always do.

Arthur: ... To be honest, that's exactly what I was hoping you'd say.
Frey: Huh?
Arthur:  Now is the time both to be cautious and collect as much information as possible.  And the person whose most suited to that is you.  Freya...  I can think of no better warrior for this mission.
Freya:  ARthur... 
Arthur:  I've been reflecting on what's happened thus far..
Freya:  Oh?
Arthur:  When thie town was invaded...  I was so distrubed that Lost my ability to make sound judgements.  As a result, you had to take on everything yourself!
Freya: That's not...
Arthur: That's why...  I would like to officially ask of you , as the prince of this kindgom... to rack down the Sechs and stop them.  I the meantime, I will do what I can as well.  And this time, let's be sure we save Lady Venustwill.  Failure is not an option!  We will win her back or die trying.

That's the spirit!
Leave it to me!
I'm scared!  Hold mw!

Arthur: I truly apprecaite all you're doing.  The only problem is...  where did they go?  Now that he has the Rune Spheres, he must be heading back thome to the empire.  IN which case, he must be headed towards the border.  The border between the Sechs Empire in in the  winter area, west of Autumn Road.  There is a single bridge at the westmost poin in Norad Kingdom.  Please head there first.

I'll find them.
Can you reapeat all that?

ARthur:  I know you will.  I have faith in you.  But please, don't push yourself too hard.  Ah, right?
Freya:  Same goes for you, ARthur.

Lost the use of the Autumn Field teleport because of the Maya Road thing... I experienced an event wherein the Sechs soldier desroyed the bridge.  Had to go to Arthur who said he would give me a new location by air.  Now have Maya Road instead.

When I gett here:
Soldier:  Hey, I'm not sure if taking oout the bridge was such a good idea.
Seropis"  Why not?  I think it was a brilliant idea!
Neutral Soldier:  w=we;;, without the bridge, how are we going to get to the other side ourselves?
Serious:  Damn it, you're right!
Neutral:  I won't repprt this to Lord Ethelberd...

They see me. Both: (!)
Serious:  Hey I thought we took out the bridge!
Neutral:  C-come on!  Let's run!  Fast as we can!

Another event on Maya Road.

Soldiers:  H hey!  Open up!  OPEN UP!
Lzay:  Don't be so haty.

Neutral:  They're right on my tail!
Serios:  Once we shut this, the only way in is through that hole.
Neutral;  That's true.  That place is filled with monsters tha are resistant to normal attacks.... so without elemental weapons or magic... It's a no-man's land.
Lazy:  It's open.
Serious:  Okay!  Now run!
Serious:  Hey, you forgot to close it!
Lazy;  Oops, sorry.  Don't know where my mind is sometimes, I swear!

Leon now tells me:  Just as your property elongs to me now, so too do your problems.
What would you like to have made?
An accessory please.
A weapon would be nice.
How about a farm tool?

If I say weapon:
That's not the answer I expected.  That's just what I like about you.

If I say accssory:
I don't recall I said I'd make it for you.

If I say farm tool:

Why, gien a chaoice,would you ask for something like that?  Oh well.  That is very like you, I guess.

Got to the screen with the soldiers:

Freya:  Give me back the Rune Spheres!
Serious:  Guess that kid caught up...  Sorry, but we need the Rune Spheres for Lord Ethelberd.
Neutral:  Our lives are actually at stake here, you know!
Lazy:  We don't even have the Rune Spheres anyway.
Serious:  That's right!  They're in Lord Ethelberd's hands.
Neutral:  H-hey, I don't think you should have said that.
Serious:  i-It's all right.  I still haven't said that Lord Ethelberd is being safly harboured in the Sechs Empire.
Neutral:  Well, now you have!
Serious:  Oh, dammit!
Lazy:  Hey, looks like everything's ready now.
Serious:  heh he heh.  This is the end for you.  Come, Firesome!
Fiersome descends.
Serious:  D-dammit.
Lazy:  RUN AWAY!  RUN AWAAAAAAAY!!

I defeated Fiersome but when I returned to town, I saw Yang Fan attacked by ants.  Defeated them and he told me he was in my debt.  Part of new Town Event entitled A Cooper's Windfall.
Participants, Lin Fa, Kiel, Forte, Bado, Yang Fan

Go into the Plaza and a lot of people are there.

Bado:  Step up folks!  Come one, come all.
Freya:  Bado?  Waht is he up to?
Bado:  Take a look at this sword.  It looks like it's just normal, regular sword, right?  But, in fact, it's an incredible weapon!
Kiel:  How so?  Is it really durable or something?
Traveler:  There's something fishy about this..
Bado:  I  guess I can't blame you for doubting.  It's pretty smart of you actually.  But still, this amazing weapon was carried here by this good gentleman.
Freya;  Wait, that's ...
Yang Fan:  I told you, I'm just a bucket salesman.
Traveler:  A bucket seller?  What's that got to do with weapons?  Hold on a minute  I heard there was a guy who got sirrounded by thses Ants, but  still got away totally unscathed.
Traveler 2:  Oh right  i heart that too!  Wastn't the guy some kind of traveling salesman?
Forte:  Bado!  what on earht ar eyou doing?
Bado:  Ohs orry, ladies and gentlemen.  I just remembered I left a pot on the fire!  We can continue this later.  see you.  Bye bye!
Traveler:  Hey
Forte:  You will not escape me so easily!
Bado rushes off and Forte followws:
Where did that sudden wind come from?  I have sand in my eyes, now
Sheesh.  Even a super weapon won't help any on against that.

Yeah.  It won't do you any good if you can't see a thing.
So I guess even weapons can be useless investments sometimes.

Every one but Kiel leaves.

KIel:  Oh, I get it.

I walk to him and speak to him to hear:

Kiel:  Weapons are no good if you can't see to use them.  That's a good point.

Won with Burning Sword and Gorgeous Sword.
Gorgeous was 640 points or something like that and the Burning was 454.  Both a lot higher than any one else.

It is strange.  There are stars next to each one of the waapons.  When I won with the Gorgeous Wrod, there was a Blue Star after winning.  With the Burnig it is clear or silver.

Made another Gorgeous Sword and got 557 points.

Went to the Entrance to the Sechs Empire.  There is a cabin with a snowman and a person inside named Tart who is training to be a chef and offered me a random dish.  It was Sardine Sashimi.

It's ironic because I took ARgent my Silver Wolf with me, but I found a hungry Silver Wolf and gave him Milk.  He wanted to be my pet so I took him as well.

When I go to the Clinic screen:

Bado:  So... What did those travelers think?
Kiel:  They mostly thought it stunk.
Bado:  Somehow, getting told that with a smile only makes it hurt worse.
Kiel:  They said that even great weapons don't amount to much if you can't see anything.
Bado:  Hmm.  Okay. Well how about a weapon that doesn't require sight to see?
Kiel:  Do those exist?
Bado:  They sure do.

Then:
Bado:  Ah!  There it is.  That's the harp I was looking for.  You can still play this, even with your eyes closed.
Big earthquake and horrid sound.
Kiel (with tear)  Ow...!  My ears...!
Bado:  See?  I can still attack you even though I can't see you.
Freya:  It looks like that attack hirt him too.

Porco:  Yesterday, Dylas was secretly practicing how to cook.  It must be for Doug, though he's fogetting to add a single spice.
Freya:  What spice?
Poroc: His 'honest feelings'.  The most important spice of all.  (soud with this)

When I go to the Plaza, Forte is there.

Forte:  Ah Freya, there you are.  I have something I want to ask you about those ants you defated earlier.  Do you remember if thee was a Killer Ant among them?

Freya:  Um... Yeah, I htink there was.
Forte:  I knew it.
Frea:  What does it mean?\
Forte:  It seems these Ants are moving under the command of Killer Ants.  I suspect it was those Killer Ants that brought together so large an army in the first place.
Freya:  The Killer Ants did?
Forte:  Yes.  Fortunately, that means they will move about unifmroly.  With a little effort, we should be able to herd them into a convenient group outside town.
Freya:  Ah, that makes sense.
Forte:  Then there's the matter of Bado's latest odd sales attempt.  Erm, never mid.  That's not something you need to worry about.  Well then, I'll see you later.

After:
Forte:  I'm concerned about twhat Bado may be up to..

Leon:  All right, , today you may ask me any questions  you'd  like. Anything at all.  So... what would you like to know?
A-Anything?
Hmph.  What a boring question.
When you're birthday?
Leon:  It's Summer 9.  Now you know my birthday, so you're clearly going to do something for it, right?

Your favourite things?
I like spicy things.  Rainbow Trout and the like.  How about you?  Do you like spicy things as well?

On the same screen, I found two rocks containing a total of 4 Diamonds today in the Sechs Empire.

Freya:  Can I ask you more questions, Dylas?
Dylas:  Go ahead.
Freya:  All right, then.
What foods don't you like?
Dylas:  I don't particularly like sweets.
Freya:  Oh yeah?  How about a sweet carrot?
Dylas:  if it's naturally sweet... wait a minute.  You're trying to make me into a horse again... aren't you?
freya:  ha ha, sorry.
When's your birthday.
Dylas:  It's Day 9 of Autumn.
I'll be sure to remember that.
You will?
Huh?  Of course I will.  We're friends!

Dylas:  Freinds... huh?

Then he asks if I want to go somewhere with him.
If I ask his type.
Dylas:  That's... one of your business.

21 Autumn is Porcoline's Birthday.

For an Omelet:
WAH-HOO!  THis I like!  And it's my birthday present, even!  I feel sooo loved!  Thank you.  This... this is handmade even?!  Oh, how wonderful!  I have no regrets left in this life.... Except for a few.

Porcoline:  WAAAAH!!
fReya:  What's wrong?
Proco:  Every one threw the beautifulest bestest birthday bash for moi!  I'm so... so... so happy!
Freya:  Great!  That's wonderful, Procoline.
Porco:  So you'll marry me then?
Freya:  Wait, what?!

Arhur:  you can check your item info by opening the L Pocket.  Anything that hasn't been shipped yet will be marked as such.  You should try shipping all the items that never have been, at least once.

Leon:  Hey, did you sense any one in the tower?  Never mind.  Sorry, forget it.

Reached a new point in the Sechs EMpries by pressing some switches.

Serious:  So, you've finally come this far! But we can't let you go any further, you understand.
Neutral:  Lord Ethelberd is furious enough as it is.
Your detinsy ends here!,,, =
Lazy:  ... Because if your doesn't, ours  will.  Brrrr!
Serious:  He he.  I have a seret plan this time.  Check it out!  I've borrowed a Rune Sphere from Lord Etheberd.  With this... we can wield the ancient magic used by the Earthmates.
Neutral:  Hey.  Wasn't that supposed to be a miliatary secret?
Serious:  it's fine.  As long as we win, it'll still be plenty secret!  Omni Gate, come forth!
Omin Gate appears and some mages it looks like.
Serious:  And..  Fuse!  Ancient magic Etherlink!
Neutral ;hey, no fair!  Why do I have to be this monster!
Serious:  We needed on that's good at distant attacks.
Lazy:  No complaints1  This works.
Freya:  Rune Sphere!
A shining ball is thrown and knocks me down.
Lord Etherred:  Hmph!  Utterly useless, all of them!
Freya:  Cought...
Ethel:  Still, alive Earthmate?  I must say, you're impressive.  After all, you managed to defeat the Native Dragons... weven if they were just copies. ... Freya

My choices:
How do you know my name?
Copies...?
What was...?

What was...?
Ethel:  Mwa ha ha...  My power... granted to me by the Rune Spheres.  Come follow me, and I shall show you something most interesting.  As an Earthmate, I'm sure you'd rather enjoy the sight.  Although I imagine I don't have to tell you to follow me.  You're pursuing me, after all!

The path leads to a cave with two holes.  I save and return later to explore the left one where I find a Rune Crystal, Lv. 3 among Death Stalkers.

Talk to Clorica at the shipping container and she says:
Oh Freya.  Mr. Volkanon asked me to fix Maya bridge.
Freya:  Wha?!  Maya Bridge?  You can fix that?
Clorica:  Mr. Volkanon told me all about how to do it, so it should work out just fine.
Freya:  Uh, are you sure tht'a ll it'll take??
Clorica:  Won't you please come help me?  It wont' take long at all.

My choices:
Sure.
Um, not right now.

I said I would.

Freya:  We'll need an awfully ig bridge to get across.  Are you sure you can do it?
Clorica;  No, I'm actually pretty sure I can't.  Not on my own.  Anyway.  But with your help, I'm pretty confident I an pull it off.  In fact, I'm sure of it.

On a darkened screen, we talk, passing materials and such, then:

We did it!

Lively Lyza:  Holding R down to walk slowly makes it hard for monsters to spot you.

There will be a typhoon on the 27th.  Makes me depressed! 

Leon now asks:  Hey, you.  Do you have any friends from when you were just a child?

I don't remember.
No, I don't.
I'm not telling.

I don't remember.
Leon:  Ah, you lost your memory, right?  So Venti and the others in this town are your childhood friends, then.
Freya:  What...?
Leon:  Well, think about it.  A childhood friend is some one you've known from the beginning of your life.  And here, your life is beginning anwe.  New memories of a new life.

Found Lord Ethelberd at 5.40 a.m., too late to really do anything.

Give me the Rune Spheres.

Ethelberd:  Feh!  It woudl do you well to relax.  I will show you something interesting as pormised.  Yo should feel honoured.  For you are about to witness a sensation beyond the comprehension of ordinary mortals.

Omni-Gate.

Mwa ha ha...  This dragon is dull, ordinary.  But I happen to have part of a Native Dragon on hand.  Behold!

Etherlink!

The little green dragon becomes an enormous lovely one of gold and blue.
Ethelberd:  Do you see now?  I have the power to create Native Dragons at will.  Not even the Earthmates can acocmplish this!  Ha ha ha ha!  Now let the show begin!

But it is the next morning, so I quit... It's name is Aquameleon.

Well done, Earthmate.  You've even defeated the Native Dragons I created...  But that just makes things more interesting!  Come!

An airship appears.

Mwa ha ha ha ha! I've prepared a perfect setitng for you, Freya.  I'll be waiting high above the clouds!

Platinum at last, ha!

Doug now appears.

Doug:  Not so fast!
Freya:  Doug!
Ethelberd;  haha...  Don't touch me with your filthy hands, wretched dwarf!
Doug:  Da...mn...
Ethelberd;  How unpleasant...  I'll be waiting with the walls of my Floating Empire, Earthmate!  Of ocurse.. Your invitation is quite mandatory.  Come of your own volition, or I'll make you come without it.

Doug;  Wh-what does that mean?
Ethelberd:  You'll find out soon enough!... I will torture and torment all Earthmates... until they become copletely extinct!

And off he goes...
Freya:  Doug!  ARe you all right?!
Doug:  I'm fine...  And I've got something for you.
Freya:  What?!  A Rune Sphere?!
Doug  Hah!  Stole one from him just now.  It ... serves him right....
Freya:  Doug!

He falls to the ground, the Rune Sphere smoking about him.

In the clinic now.

Jones:  Youre still recovering, Doug.  I know you must feel some sense of responsibility for what happened.... but you need to draw the line.  We'd all be devastated if anything should happen to you.
Arthur:  Freya!  Doug!  I heard wwe've taken back one of the Rune Spheres.
Freya:  Yes, thanks to Doug.
Arthur:  It would be best to place it in a Rune Spot as soon as possible... though it could be stolen again if we don't post a full security detail around it.  Once the reinforecements arrive, there should be enough...

Big boom.
Arthur: ?!  What's happeneing?
Xiao Pai:  Freya!@!@!
freya:  Xiao Pai?
Xiao Pai:  There's something in the sky!  It seems best to go up to the observatory!

We suit our actions to the word.

Forte:  Look over there!
Arthur: What's that...?
Forte; I'm not sure.  All I do know... is that... ... it's attacking us.

My choices:

Is this what he meant?
Sechs is attacking us?
C-c-calm down.

Is this what he meant?

Arthur:  So the empire's attacking us now...  ... Floating Empire...

My choices:

The Spheres must be
Ethelberd must be...

Ethelberd must be...

Arthur:  I htink you're right.  Either way we can't ignore it.
Freya:  I agree.

Arthur:  Let's take the airship up there.  I'll meet you at the airship once I report to the royal capital.
He dashes off.

Forte:  Freya... They'll start attacking you the moment you get near the empire. Not that I'm trying to stop you at this point... but I just want to make sure you're ready for what lies ahead.

My choices:
All right.
Wil you come with me?

Will you come with me?

Forte:  Of course.  Please come see me before you board the airship.
Freya: (...)  Venti...  Let's take the airship to the Floating EMpire.

If I do not reload, I will not have a cold or any ill effects from not sleeping.

I decide to carry on!
I shipped my first White Grass (found in a crate in sechs) and they now are at the Flower Shop.  I harvested the Giant Charm Blue and now Fireflower seeds have appeared a tthe shop. 

25 Autumn is White Day.  According to Volkanon:  It is a day when gentlemen will present ladies with a homemade Cookie.  And any gentleman might take the chance to ask the lady on a date.  It is most effective.

Expert Jewel:  Dishes you cook with a frying pan are super balanced.  They'll raise your Max HP, along with your strength, knowledge and vitality.  Oh!  But grilled fish dishes are a little different.

Ironleaf reduced health by 100 pts. so was able to defeat a Wooly ut not a Golden Wolf.  Completing this request brought Autumn Grass Seeds to the Flower Shop.

Freya:  I wonder if Eliza is a boy or a girl.  The name is typically female, but that doesn't mean...)
Eliza;  What's wrong?  You look like you want to ask me something.
Freya: Erm... are you...
A boy?
A girl?

A girl?
Eliza:  What/  How am I supposed to know?
Freya:  Oh, right.  You're a Request Box.
Eliza:  Don't ask me such a silly quesiton.
Freya:  Ha haha...
Eliza:  J-just out of curiosity, though...
freya: ...?
Eliza:  Which one... would you like me to be?

My choices:
A boy
A girl.
Huh?

A boy.
Eliza:  I- I see.  Then I don't mind... being a boy.

Jones:  Tomorrow is White Day.  Now then, what should i make for it?

The first time you choose to go to the Floating Island you will have an event on the airship.
\
Freya:  That can't be...
Arthur:  I've never seen something this big floating in the sky...  Their technology is unbelievable.  And... kind of terrifying!
Freya:  Yeah...
Then:

Arthur: (!)  Freya!  Look!

A green dragon drops down onto the deck.

Freya:  Monsters from the Empire?
Arthur:  Ugh...!
Freya: ARthur!  Stay right where you are!
Arthur:  All right!  Be careful you're not thrown off!
Freya:  BRING IT ON!

defeted it easily but:

Arthur: There are more of them!

And more... green dragons and hoover soldiers.

Arthur:  Freya, you're amazing!  You stood up agains ta veritable army, all by yourself!  I cannot help but admire your tenacity.

I just got lucky.
Give me more!

I just got lucky!

Arthur:  Now, now.  There's no need to be humble.  Well, we're almost there.  Hold on tight!  I'm going to pick up the pace!

Now we see the ground below us.
Arthur:  There don't seem to be any soldiers around here.
Freya;  Perfect.  Seems like a good spot to drop me off, then.
Arthur:  All right.  One moment.
Freya;  Thank you very much, ARthur.  May I leave the town in your hands/
Arthur:  Of course.  I'll watch over it in your abasence.
Freya; I'm going to get those Rune Spheres.  And save Venti!

Used my first Platinum to make a Platinum Sword.  Got Platinum as a drop from those nasty Tortoises in the Floating Empire.

White Day

Volkanon: Miss Freya, here.  Please take this Cookie with my compliments.
Freya;  Thank you!

Vishnal:  Princess!  Let me know if there's anything I can do to help!  We have to stop the Sechs!
Princess!
Freya:  Yes?
Vishnal: ... ... ...  Here!  A Cookie!  I-I-I made it for you!  Please accept it!

My choices:
Thank you!
Ugh, no thanks!

Thank you!
Vishnal;  Yay!  You accepted it!
Freya:  Thank you for the Cookie!
Vishnal:  No, I'm honoured you chose to accept it.  Thank you.

Ursine Taro:  Try feeding your Pets Round Stone every day.  Soon they'll be so strong no attack will knock them back!

Merry Reed:  There's a way to increase the yield of your crops.  The yield increase the more you raise your field's level.

Margaret:  It looks like Forte got a whole bunch from travelers again this year.  It must be so hard, being popular.  Hey, guys!  Who do you think will get the most?
Xiao Pai:  Mama, no doubt.
Amber;  Not Ellie?
Xiao Pai:  Hrm...
Xiao Pai:  Well, if we're going to guess who, at least stick to our group.
Magaret:  Among us, Iit's Forte.
Forte:  Why?
Clorica;  Ooh, you're secretly popular, Forte!
Forte:  N-no!  I am no such thing!
Pico:  Milday will get the most.  Of this I have no doubt!
Dolce: Perhaps. 
Pico:  But I will swat down any clingy leeches who dare slither too close!
Dolce:  I look forward to your swatting yourself planty, then.
Amber:  Hmm... Meg might get a lot.
Margaret;  Me?  Oh no!  I doubt that.
Xiao Pai:  Who do you think, Freya/

Clorica, Forte, Margaret, Xiao Pai Amber Dolce

Chose Margaret:
Margaret;  What?! Ah ha ha... ERm... I... Ha ha...
Xiao Pai:  He hee.  margaret had a cute reaction.

Jones:  Ah, Freya.  Perfect timing.  Here.

Doug:  Freya?
Let me know if there's anything I can do.
Here, Freya.  This one's for you.

Leon:  So this is the final battle.  Just promise me that you'll come back.  Promise!
Oh, hold on.  Here.  This is for you.
Freya:  Oh...!
Leon:  That's thie kind of day today is, is it not?
Freya;  What do you mean, this kind of day?
Leon:  it's the kind of day when you give presents to those you like.  So I gave you a present.
Freya:  Then... that means...
Leon:  Just take it.

Pink Melon Seeds in market after harvested 20 each of cabbage, bok choy and onion.

Kiel:  Umm...  If I give you this, will you accept it?

My choices:
What is it?
A Cookies?

A Cookie?
Kiel:  Yeah.  It's for... um...
Freya:  Yes?
Kiel:  Well, y'see I... ah...  N-never mind!  Forget I brought it up.
FreyaL  Huh?  But...
Kiel: No, it's okay.  Think of it as a present, just because and enjoy it, 'kay?

Dyls: ...
Freya:  Um, see ya?
Dylas;  Wait.  Here.  Take this Cookie.

My choices:
As a friend?
Does this mean something?

Does this mean something?
Dylas:  Sh-shaddup!

Arthur: Hello, Freya.  You look good today.  Ah, yes.  Here, Freya.  A present for you.
Freya:  Th-thanks.
Arthur:  Don't worry.  This is simply an expression of my gratitutde for all you've done.  And my fondness for you.
Freya:  Wha...?
Arthur:  Now, if you'll excuse me...

Dialogue between bachelors:
Kiel:  I hope I can surprise Forte with them.
Doug:  So who did you guys give some to?
Vishnal:  I sent some to Mr. Volkanon and Clorica.
Kiel:  I gave some to my sister.
Arthur:  I presented one to Porcoline.
Dylas;  Though I was the one who made it.
Arthur:  And I am very gateful for your efforts.  Thank you.
Leon:  Hmm.  To be honest, I have not yet decided to whom I should present.
Doug:  Hmph.  Well, that's boring.

Doug:  I ate all the ones I screwed up, and now I'm stuffed!

Vishnal:  Now who did I ask to pass them around?  I knew I should have written that down.

Volkanon:  I am greatly honoured that every one was pleased with my gifts.

Xiao Pai:  It seems Mama is as popular as ever this year. ... But just so you know, you can't have her.

To continue the Town Event, I have to visit Bado, as I suspected.  I kept putting it off because I didn't want to type it out...

When I enter:

Bado behind the counter with music:  I have a feeling business will be booming today.
Freya:  Oh?
Bado:  Yeah.  See, I did a demonstration of that instrument that can be a weapon for a crowd.  And afterwards a whole bunch of them came up to me begging me to sell them one.  But I don't actually have any in stock right now so I couldn't.  I'm going to make some, though.  I've already asked for some one to bring me some Pretty Carapace.
Freya:  Pretty Carapace?
Bado:  Yeah.  Killer Ants drop them.  Once you ban them right, they're really useful.  So once I get all the materials in, I can make as many as I need.
Freya:  Forte was talking about Killer Ants, too.
Bado:  Yeah.  Bwo birds with one stone.  I get my materials, and she gets rid of her pests.
Freya:  Wait... but if the Killer Ants go down first, then her plan won't work...!  EEEK!

Bado and I both:  (!)
Bado:  That sounded like Lin Fa's scream!  We should go to the Inn and check it out.

Enter the Inn to experience the next event.
Freya:  Lin Fa, what's wrong?!
Lin Fa:  Freya!  I had a whole pile of buckets for the bath here, but...
Bado:  They're all full of holes. 
Freya:  Who would do something like that/
Bado:  Take a closer look, Freya.
Freya:  Oh...!
Bado:  Something chewed those holes.
Freya:  Then it could be...!
Lin Fa:  Oh, now that you mention it, I think I remember seeing an Ant run outside..
Bado:  ...
Freya: Outside?  Maybe it's still there.

Bado:  Oh Freya.  Perfect timing.  Here.  It's leftovers from a practice batch I did.

Lin Fa:  My customers gave me some Cookies today.  It was all such a surprise it hardly felt fair.  But I'm just happy that they like my inn so much.  Hee hee.

Thought Illuminata was Raven and gave her Iron by accident.
Ellie:  Thanks.  Oh, I'm almost out of bread, too.  If you could get me some, I'd appreciate it.

Porcoline:  Freya!  I've been looking all over for you!
Freya;  Y-yes? 
Porco:  Yesterday, I poured my heart and soul into baknng just the right cookie for you.  I't not just any Cookie, it's a SPECIAL Cookie.  I dub it 'My Brave Love!'

Dolce:  Today is a day when every one contributes to the profits of the sweets makers.
Pico;  Oh?  Is that why you're holding the one you got from Jones like a precious gem?
Dolce: ...

Illuminata:  Ooh, some Bread!  Did you somehow deduce that I was getting hungry for a snack?  Hey, you're pretty good!  Oh, and it's even homemade.  You do some amazing things, that's for sure.

Kiel:  I hope I can surprise Forte with them.

Nancy: Look what Jones gave to me!  It's a handmade Choco Cookie!  love itself has no tangible form, but you can give it a shape to express it in your own way.

Outside the castle, Killer Ants munching on branches.

Freya:  Wood fragments.  ANts like chewing on wood.  They probably saw the buckets as food and started chewing on them.  ... First, I should do something about these guys!

Only three of them...
Freya:  Whew.  That's the last of them.
Forte:  Freya!  ?  I heard there were monsters gathering out here.
Freya:  Yeah.  I just finished mopping them up.
Forte:  I see.  My apologies for not arriving in time to be of help.
Freya:  That's okay.  It seems most of the Killer Ants were taken out by a band of travelers.  That leaf the Ants without any leaders.  They arrmy dissolved, and many wandered into town.  I hurried back to town to look around and see where they went.  But it seems this was the last of them.
Freya;  Oh, okay.
Forte:  Thank you, Freya.  I don't know what would have happendd if you weren't here.
Freya:  I didn't really do that much...
Forte:  Still... This is a small token of my gratitude.  Please accept it.
Freya:  Thank you very much.
Freya;  Well, now that's done, I should go let Lin Fa know.

26 Autumn:

Upon waking, I spoke to Vishnal and he said:  I made this Curry Rice, though I'm not sure how it turned out.  Would you like to try it?
Received Failed Dish
Freya:  Th-this is...
Vishnal:  Let me know what you think.


Go to the Inn to speak to Lin Fa about the Killer Ants.  An Event will occur when you enter.

Freya:  Lin Fa.  We found out who wrecked your buckets.  It was some Ants.
Lin Fa:  Really?
Freya:  Yeah.  Forte is handling the clean-up right now.
Lin Fa:  Oh, i see.  Thank you.  That news makes me feel so much better.
Freya:  it's no problem.  I'm just sorry about your buckets.
Nancy:  Lin Fa.
Lin Fa:  Oh, hello, Nancy.
Nancy:  I heard everything fom Kiel  It sounds like you had a rough day.  Why don't I go and buy you some buckets to make up for the ones you lost?
Lin Fa:  Oh no.  I couldn't ask that.
Blossom:  No need to be modest, dear.  Friends help friends in trouble.
Lin Fa:  Blossom.
Nancy:  Yes.  Besides, it seems like there is a traveling bucket salesman in town right now.
Freya:  Oh, yeah!  How about I go and get him for you?  That way, people who come for the baths can buy a brand ew bucket and hop right in the bath.
Lin Fa:  Freya...  Well, I guess if you insist.  Thank you.

After harvesting 50 grapes for a request, Pineapple Seeds finally appeared in the Market.  I had planted and harvested a few from seeds in a dungeon.

Vishnal:  How was the dish I gave you?  Did it turn out all right?

My choices:

It was good.
It was terrible.
The Failed Dish?

The Failed Dish?

Vishnal;  Failed Dish?  No, it was Curry Rice!
Freya:  Okay...

Kiel:  I'm going to use this mushroom as my entry in today's Atumn Harvest Fesival.  It's a really neat one, see?  It has a funny smell that makes my nose tingle!
Freya:  Um... are you sure that's okay to eat?

Dylas:  Maybe I should just let Porcolineloose...

Arthur:  My, my, what's wrong?
Dylas:  Margaret is being... irritating.
Arthur:  Did you do something to upset her again?
Dylas;  This is partly your fault, you know.
Doug:  Hey!  I was just taking a nap, okay?  It was Xiao Pai who smacked me awake!
Kiel:  You were asleep on the job again, I take it?
Doug:  GAH!!  How'd you guess?
Vishnal It isn't that difficult.
Leon:  Now that you mention it, Forte was slightly miffed as well.
Doug:  What did you do?
Leon:  I have no idea. I was simply teaching Kiel something useful.
Doug:  ... Yeah, but about what?
Doug:  Eesh. Women scare me sometimes.
Dylas;  Yeah...
Kiel;  Really?
VIshnal: I'm afraid I disagree.
Arthur:  You reap what you sow.
Dylas:  yeah, and it's YOUR fault!

Leon:  So I hear today's festival has a 'showcase' element to it.  THose without a silver tongue will have a hard time of it.  And I'm afraid I was never meant for the stage.

I submit Great Charm Blue and STILL have to appeal.

Doug tells me he taught me how to grow it and I agree, even though he didn't.  He is happy.
Doug:  you totally followed all of my instructions and made a kickass showcase out of it!  I'm awesome!

Vishanl:  this is a really quality vegetable.  So Princess, how hard have you been training?

I chose: Very.

XIao Pai:  Hmm?  Ah! There's a bug on your crop!

Well, it is organic...

Won with 247 points.  Didn't get the happy sound from Vishnal though.  Got Heart Drink, Bear Claws, 9 Cooking Bread and Lobster Sashimi for prizes.  Got my Charm Blue back as well.

Today is mainly cleanup from the bloody Typhon.  I fought the Typhoon Demon after finding him impossible to tame and got Mealy Apple and Devil Blood.

Need 1500 pp 500 material stone to increase fridge size.  Need to do that when I collect enough stone.

Speak to Yang Fan in the Plaza whenever you wish to complete the Town Event.

Yang Fan:  Ah!  So we meet again!

Freya:  Yeah.  Um, I'd like to buy some buckets.
YF:  Ah, so this time you are a customer.  How many do you want?
Freya:  A lot.
YF: Huh?
Freya:  A whole lot, actually.  So could you please come with me?
YF: ...  You know, I think I like you!
Freya:  Huh?
YF:  For a big customer like you, I'll make a complimentary house call!  So, where would you like me to deliver these?
Freya:  Could you take them to the town inn, please?
YF:  Ah, perfect!  I was planning to go there anyway.
Screen darkens.  We are at the entrance then.
YF:  Well, isn't this the lively place today?
People enter, hen Lin Fa emerges.
YF::  Ah, perhect!  Heyyy, Xiao!
Xiao Pai:  It seems it has been a while.
YF:  That it has.  Your funny speech hasn't changed a bit.
Xiao Pai: And whoese faault is that, yes?
YF:  Don't blame people for things.  It isn't nice.  Though it was me who taught that to you.
Freya:  Um...
Xiao Pai:  Oh, Freya, this is the first yu have met, yes?  This is my father.
YF:  I hear you've been a big help to my daughter.
Freya:  Wait, what?  I hope everything has been going well!
Lin Fa:  Oh yes. Splendid.  So many people have come to take a bath... And not just townsfolk.   Travlers have come too.  And the buckets hhey have been buying are all my husband's.  Os in the end,I won't need to repar the old buckets.  Every one has bought me new ones.
Freya:  I'm surprised that saleman is actual Xiao Pai's father.
Lin Fa:  That he is.  He's a wanderer at herart. It's hard for him to stay in one place for very long.  But he does make a point of coming back to town to visit at least once a year.
Freya:  Lin Fa looks really happy.
Lin Fa:  Freya, thank you so much. You've been a very big help.
Freya:  You're welcome.

Screen darkens.

Meanwhile...
At the square, Bado has a crowd.

Bado:  See this musical instrument?  It looks like a normal regular instrument, right?  But really...
Kiel:  it's a wepon that you ca use ieven if you can't see!
Travelr:  Hmm...  That sounds fishy.
Bado:  Now, now. Give me a moment to explain.  Ah, Margaret!  Perfect timing.
(She arrives from the right)
Margaret:  Hm?
Bado:  I'd like you to play this instrument for us.
Margaret: Um, sure.  I don't mind.
She plays.
Kiel:  What a pretty song.
Bado:  Ahh, that's a lovely song.  Very calming, isn't it?
Travelr:  What about that is a weapon?
Bado:  ...  If you hit some one over the head with it, it could hurt.
...

If you listen to some rumours, they might say the blacksmith hnow has harps for sale.

Pico:  Do you know why Winter 18 is special?
freya:  Oh?
Pico:  That's Dolly's birthday.
Dolce:  Hey!  There's no need to reveal that much.

1 Winter:

Vishnal:  I'm going to give Kiel some Chocolate Cake for his birthday.  Can you guess why?

Because it's cheap?
Because Kiel likes it?
So you can eat some, too?

Because Kiel likes it.
Precisely!  I knew you would know, Princess!

I walked outside to see Eliza and experienced an event.

A travelr was in the plaza.
Playboy Rob:  Ahh!  Yooo!  Hey there!  Hi!
Freya:  ARe you talking to me?
PR:  I seriously am, babe.  Can you point a bro out in the right direction?
freya;  Uh, sure.
PR:  Check it, I'm lookin' for a place where the most bodacious babes in town go to chill, you know/
Freya:  ... Well, there's the restaurant just across the way.
PR:  Right on!!!  So, you wanna hang?  I'm payin'

My choices:
Sure, babe.
Rather not!

If I say: Sure, babe
PR:  Gnarly!  Let's do it.
Freya:  Um, could you please take your hand off my shoulder?
PR:  Aw, c'mon, babe!  What's the matter?  I just wanna hang.
Freya:  Hey!!
PR shows a big red heart but here comes Dylas now.
Dylas:  What do you think you're doing?
Playboy Rob:  Hey!  What's your deal?
Freya:  Oh!  Hi, Dylas.
PR:  You wanna fight, brah?  You're gonna regret it if you don't get lost!
Dylas:  Freya, didn't you hear me?  What are you doing?
PR:  Hey!  Are you even listening to me?
Freya:  Um, well... he kinda asked me if I wanted to have tea with him.
Dylas:  Uh-huh.
PR:  Quit ignoring me, horse-face!
Dylas:  What was that?
PR:  ...?!
Dylas:  Loud-mouthed jerk, aren't you?  So who was it you were calling a 'horse face' again?  Well?
PR:  Uh... I-I didn't say that...
Dylas:  Get lost!  And make it quick... or else...  I'll punt both you and Doug into next week!
PR:  Who's Doug?!
Dylas:  Whatever!  I'll let you off easy today, brah!!
PR:  I'm out!  PEACE!!
He shoots off...

Freya:  Umm..

My choices now:

Thanks, brah.
That was unnecessary.

Thanks, Brah.
Dylas:  ... Hmph.  Whatever.  He just bugged me, is all.  That was partly your fault, too, you know.  You've got sucker written all over you.
Freya:  Urk...
Dylas;  So start being a little more cautious, okay?  There are jerks like that everywhere.  And they like going after people as pretty and cute as you are.
Both of us now: (...)
Freya:  Huh?
Dylas:  ... Ah!  W-Well, this is n't necessarily my own opinion!  So don't get too excited!
He races away.
Freya:  .... Huh?

If I had chosen:  Rather not.
PR:  Aw, c'mon, babe!  What's the matter?  I just wanna hang.
Freya:  H-hey!
Dylas will arrive now and ask:  What do you think you're doing?
Event now progresses in the same way as if you gave the other response.

Has to be a heart event.  Dylas at 7 hearts, but almost 8.

Kiel for Chocolate Cake:  Wait, is this for me?  Really?  Thanks!  I love Chocolate Cake!  Today just might be my best birthday ever!  Thanks, Freya.  Oh hey.  This is handmade, isn't it?  Amazing!

Leon...
What?

My choices now:
I just wanted to call you.
Do you feel lonely?


I just wanted to call you.
Leon:  And I just wanted to answer your call.  Funny how that works.

My heart actually skipped a beat!

If I had chosen the loneliness question:

Leon: (...  Loneliness is having non one around to complain to about feeling lonely.

Blossom:  I have some advice for you.  You need a custom Engagement Ring to get married.  And you need your own Crafting Table to make it.

Visnal; My birthday is Autumn 17.  For some reason, I always start to feel excited when my birthday approaches.  when's yours, Princess?

My birthday is Autumn 4.

Day 4 of Autumn... Okay, I'll remember that! Let's exchange presents on each other's birthdays!

Dialogue in Arthur's office tonight:

Doug:  Man, all thse books are huge!  And... complicated-sounding...
Arthur:  They're quite interesting.  You're welcome to borrow one, if you'd like.
Doug:  N-no, I'm good, thanks!
Kiel:  If that offer extends to me as well, I'd like to borrow one.

Doug:  Seriously?  You can read stuff like that?!
Kiel:  Well, yeah, of course.  Don't lump me in with you when it comes to hitting the books!
Doug:  man, you sure know how to hit where it hurts sometimes.
VIshnal:  I'd like to borrow this one, if I may.
Doug:  Wha?  You too?!
Leon:  Hey, Arthur, did you get in that book I ordered?
Arthur:  Sure did. Here you go.
Doug:  Holy crap.  Am I really the only one here who doesn't read?
Arthur:  I can give you some picture books, if you want.
Doug:  Keep 'em, dammit!

Tamed my first Hunter Wolf with White Grass.

Leon:  I'm not particularly fond of festivals, but I'm even less fond of losing.

My choices:
Bring it on!
I won't lose easily.

I won't lose easily.

Leon:  I'm looking forward to it.... But do be careful not to get hurt.

I won the Turnip Flurry.

Vishnal:  All this exercise really warms the body, doesn't it?  Oh, but do remember to wipe off all the sweat.  If you let it cool too long, you might catch cold.

Leon; Well done.  YYou didn't get hurt, did you?  Good.  Life would get a little less colourful if my favourite target weren't around any more.

Dialogue after festival:

Doug:  Man, that was fun! Can't we do this every week?  That'd be awesome!
Doug:  Aren't you guys cold at all?
Vishnal:  Of course we are!
Kiel:  I'm not cold at all.
Doug:  Seriously?  No fair!  What, are you a snowman's kid or something?
Dylas; You just lack fortitude.
Doug:  Grrr!  Well, YOU'RE the one who lacks brains!
Dylas:  What was that, you pebble-brained dwarf?
Doug:  I said you're a brianless swayback na-- ACHOO!!
Dylas;  EUGH!
Arthur:  Well, there's no helpoig the cold.  How about some exercise to warm up?
Doug:  Yeah, that's a great idea, Arthur.  C'mon!
Arthur: O h, I meant for you.  I'm not particualrly cold myself.
Doug:  Hey!  L-Leon!  You're ocld too, right?  I mean, it's freezing out here!
Leon:  You must be joking.  This hardly qualifies as 'cold'.  ... ACHOO!
Doug: ... Uh-huh.
Leon:  Erm, perhaps I will take a little exercise after all.

I caught my first Legendary Scale in the pool at Idra Cave.

Today Porcoline says:  Freya, listen to this.  Meg is actually hiding somethig from me.  And it's ot just Meg.  Dylas and Arthur are hiding something, too!  WHy am I the only one left out in the bitter, bitter cold?  Do they... hate me now/

My choices:
They must have a reason.
That's terrible!
Yep, they hate you.

They must have a reason.
Porco:  I guess they might.... It's all right.  I'm surre they are just at that age, you know.

Town Event:  A Favour REpaid
Dylas, ARthur, Margaret, Porcoline

Saw Margaret, told her Porcoline was sad because she was 'hiding' something from him.

She said she thought it would be okay if she told me:

Margaret:  Heah, I think it'd be okay if I told you.  Y'see, we've been thinking of a way to repay Porco for all the wonderful stuff he does.
Freya:  We?
Margaret:  Yeah.  Me.  Dylas and ARthur.  I mean, Porco is always doing stuff to take care of us, right?  So we got together and decided we wanted to show him how much we appreciate him.  We've been trying to make sure he didn't notice...  But I guess he did, and it's backfiring.  We only need a little bit more time to finish setitng everything up, so...  (!) (...)  Oh, I know!
Freya: ...?
Margaret:  Hey, Freya?  Could you do me a favour and keep Porco distracted just for today?
Freya:  Huh?  Distracted how?
Margaret:  Umm... maybe you could ask him on a date?
Freya;  A what?
Margaret:  Well, you know how fond Porco is of you.  Pleeeaaase?  I 'll give you whatever I can as thanks afterwards, I promise!
Freya:  Okay, Okay...

ALL THE bachelors at table at 15.00.

Doug:  ... Iakay, so we've got the food, but where are the ladies?
Dylas:  Who knows/
Vishnal:  Well, at least we can relax and enjoy a meal!
Doug:  what kind of man are you?  Come on, Kiel, back me up here!
Kiel:  I'm fine with things as they are.
Doug:  ARthur?
Arthur:  i agree with Kiel.
Doug:  ...
Dylas:  Stop staring at us.
Doug: ...
Leon:  Sorry, Doug.  Afraid you're on your own here.
Doug: ...  You guys are hoepless.

Freya:  Uh, Procoline?
P:  Yes?
My choicese:

How about a d-d-date?
Wanna go walking together?

Wanna go walking together?

P:  Oh...?  Is this a roundabout way of asking me on a date?
Freya:  W-well,... you could say it's kinda maybe sorta like that...
P:  Then let us go, go, go!
Freya:  Okay, um... s-so where do you want to go?
P:  Somewhere quiet and beautiful and ar... with few people about.  How does Yokmire Forest sound?
Freya:  Yokmir Forest?  That's fie.  Let's go, then.

Go up into the glade to expeirence an event.
P:  Ahh, it's so refreshingly restful here.
Freya;  Yeah.
P.  The natural beautyf of nature ehre reminds me of the Elven Kingdom.
Freya:  You've been there?
P:  Yes, a fre times.  The De Sainte0Coquille family has long bee firneds with the forest people.
Freya:  Wow.
P.  The Elven Knkgdom was where I first met Meg.  I went there for a trade market they had opened.
Freya:  A trade market?
P.  Yes.  There I saw Meg making lovely music for the gathered masses.  I heard that she wished to leave her birth kindgom to travel and see the world.  Thus, I thought to invite her to my restaurant, and ask her to play for my customers. ... But I gave up o that quickly.
Freya:  Why's that?
P.  You see, a famous conductor was there as well, and he too had heard Meg play.  He loved her music immediately, and wished to have the play in his orchestra.  I very, very much wanted to have Meg come here.  But I let the conductor make his offer instead.  I know nothing of the melodies of music.  I could give Meg nothing.  So I thought it would be better for her future to hear what the conductor had to offer.
Freya:  ?  Huh?  Wait a s eond... but right now Margaret is here.
P:  Yes, she's here under my wing.  You see, other things happened after the market.  Now you may laugh at this....  But I think of Meg as my own daughter.  Dylas and Arthur too, are my precious family.  Meeting them were some of the greatest experiences of my life.  Meeting you, Freya, was another grand one as well.
Freya:  Porcoline...
P: displays big red heart.
P:  So please become part of my family... for real!  Right now!!!

My choices:
No way.
Nuh0uh.
You've gotta be kidding.
Not happening.

P:  GAAAH!! ... Ahem.  Anyway, I think i'll spend a little more time here.  An afternoon spent relaxing alone is nice every once in a while.  Thank you for listening to what I had to say, Freya.

Go to the restaurant and talk to Meg.
Meg;  Where's Porco?
Freya:   He said he wanted some time by himself outside town.
M:  Ah, okay.  Well then let's finish up all our prparations before he gets back. Thanks, Freya

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 Meg:  Freya, have you seen Porco anywhere?
Freya:  Hmm?
Meg:  He hasn't come back yet!  Oh no... What have I done?  If... if something happened to him... if he never comes back, I ;.. I don't know what I'll do!
Freya:  Calm down, Margaret.  Porcoline and I went to the forest together.  He might still be out there.
Margaret:  Really?
Freya:  yeah... How about we go check together?
Margaret:  Okay!

Amber:  My birthday is Day 26 of Spring.... I think.
Freya:  Wha...?

Porco is sleeping in the glade where I left him.

Margaret:  Porco!
She rushes over to him and rouses him.
Poeco:  ... Mrph?  Dwah?!
Meg:  Porco, you idiot!  How could you fall asleep out here?!
Porco:  M-Meg!  What are you doing here?  Wait... what time is it?

Dylas arrives.
Dylas:  So this is where you went.
Arthur:  We have been looking all over for you.
Porco:  Dylas... Arthur.  What are you all doing here?  I thought you all hated me!
Meg:  Why would we do that/
Dylas;  Sorry we were all acting weird, Porcoline.
Arthur:  After all, Dylas is a very poor actor.
Dylas;  You're not winning any awards, yourself.
Porco:  Wh-what is going on?
Meg:  Porco, listen.  We all wanted to throw you a thank-you party.
Porco:  A... thank-you party?
Margaret:  Here.  I made this for you.
Porco:  A hand-knit scarf...?
Meg:  I tried really hard to make it somehting that'd look good on you!
Arthur:  Here, this is from me.
P:  What is it?
Arthur:  It's an interesting exercise tool I found at market.  You put it on and it vibrates to exercies your muscles without you needing to do a thing...
P:  Ooh...!
Dylas:  I, uh... made some snacks for you.  They're at the restaurant.  I'm sure thaey aren't as good as yours, but...  How about we all go home and try them, okay?
Arthur:  Yes.  We don't want them going cold, now.
Meg:  Yeah!  Let's go home, Porco.
Porco:  Home.  WAAAAAAAAH!!!  You don't hate me?  You all really want me to stay with you?
Meg:  Of course we do!  So enough with the waterworks already.  You... you'll make me cry, too.
P:  WAAAAAAAAH!!  It's my party and I'll cry if I want to!  WAAAAAAH!!  I love all of you so much!

Screen darkens.  We now are in front of the Inn.
Meg:  Freya, thank s for everything.  And sorry to make you put up with so much.  Porco, you should apologise, too.
P:  I'm sorry.
Dylas:  Hmph.  Who's the Guardian for who, now?
Meg:  This is a little thank you present.  I hope you like it.
Arthur:  And here is one from me, too.
Dylas;  And me.  I made too much for every one.
P:  Ooh!  Ooh!  I wanna give one to you, too!  Here!  Take it!  Oh, Freya!  Why don't you join us for dinner?
Freya:  Hmm... thanks, but I think I'll pass this time.  You all look like you're having a great enough time already.
P:  How considerate of you!  Well then, how about we have dinner some other time... jus tthe two of us.

My choices:
I'll set the candles.
I definitely pass on that!

I'll set the candles.
P:  GAAAH!!!  What?  Did I hear that wrong?
Dylas:  Hurry it up, Porcoline.
Meg:  Yeah, we don't want to keep bugging Freya all day.
Arthur:  Yes.  let us get tgoing.
P.  Ahh, perhaps next week then, my dearest!  Je t'aime, my honey!

Got Udon, Milk Porridge, Pickle Mix and Baked Onigiri.

Volkanon:  My birthday is Day 6 of Summer.  Not that you'd be interested in an old man's birthday, but 'eff why eye', as the kids say!

The Town Event ends when you speak to Dylas and he tells you that Porcoline has accepted all sorts of people into his home: Meg, Arthur and himself.

Dylas:  Porcoline has accepted all sorts of people into his home.  Me, Arthur, Margaret...  He must be quite a man to do all that.

Leon:  Do you know the phrase, 'heard it through the grapevine?'

Like an overheard rumour?
Sounds delicious.

Like an...

Leon:  Exactly. It's when juicy gossip comes your way be it on the wind or through a letter never meant to be seen.  I wish I could send a letter like that back to myself, through time.

Freya:  When is your birthday, Blossom.
Blossom:  Oh, don't waste your time on little old me!  Go ask your true love.  You'll ge t more out of the answer that way.... Though I suppose it is rude not to answer, so I'll let it slide just this once.  My birthday is on Winter 21.  And since you know now, I'll be expecting a nice present.  Don't let me down!

Blossom:  Doug and I both love Risotto.  I make a lot of it at home.

Arthur:  Day 10 of this month is Bado's birthday.mNow, t give this to him...
Freya:  His present?
Arthur: Yes.  I have a small list of tips abou property management  that I think may help him
Freya;  Wow, that's , uh, great.  But omehow I don't think Bado will like it.
Arthur:  True  Though at this rate, the shop may fold any day now.
Frye:  Yeah, you have a point.

Kiel:  I wonder what kind of birthday present I should get for Bado.  Maybe I should just get him his favourite, Tempura Bowl.  Or maybe go with a more practical Iron, since that would help in his work.  Which do you think i should get?

My choices:
Tempura Bowl
Iron

If I choose Tempura Bowl:  Yeah, it's probably best just to get him something he'll really like.

If I choose: Iron.  Ha ha!  We'll call it a present, but really it's us telling him to 'get to work'.
Freya:  Uh, maybe we shouldn't.

The guys now ask to come with me.

Dylas:  Hey, if you're about to go somewhere dangerous, take me with you, okay?
/Freya:  Huh?
Dylas:  B-because I might be able to help you out, y'know?  What'll you do if something happens when you're all alone?  S-so...
Freya:  Okay, I will.
Dylas:  Y-yeah... good.

Took Leon to the fortuneteller.  It's a perfect match!  Your compatibility qutoient is 72!
Leon:  YES!! ... I mean...  That was not me.  I was momentarily possessed.

If I speak to him now:  What, do yo miss the sound of my voice?

Bado:  Man, my birthday sure was a tough one this year.
Freya:  What happened?
Bado:  Well, first Forte gave me a long lecture on how I need to be more serious about my job.  Arthur told me I should try not to, ah, 'elaborate' my sales pitches so much.  And Kiel brought me a big rice bowl full of ore.  What do you thik I should do?

My choices:
Turn over a new leaf.
Give up and goof off.

Turn over...
Bado:  Ah ha ha... Yeah, no.

Then:  Oh hey, Tempura Bowl!  Thanks!  This is the best present I've gotten for my birthday!  Oh, and handmade is even better.

Dolce:  I want something hot to drink.  I don't like cold drinks.  I prefer when I can drink something to warm me up.  So I guess you're ot much of a fan of cold weather, then, huh?
Dolce:  What?
Freya: ...?
Dolce:  Actually, I use cold weather.  In fact, I really can't stand when it's too hot out.
Freya:  Er... How does hat work, exactly?

Freya:  Oh my!  What happened to your hand?
Dylas:  Oh, this?  Porcoline was trying to eat his own food again instead of serving it, so I had to grab it away.  But it was so hot that I burned myself a little.
Freya:  ARe you all right?
Dylas:  Don't worry.  It's not a big deal.  But what's strange... is that Porcoline was holding the same dish with his bare hands and it didn't burn him at all...
Freya: ...

Freya;  You like cute things, don't you?
Arthur:  Yes, I do.

My coices:
Are glasses cute too?
Um, I couldn't hear you.

Are glasses cute too?
Arthur:  I started likng them once I'd begun collecting.
Freya:  Huh?
Artur:  I suppose the point when I first decided eyeglasses were such adorable accoutrements was... ... wait, to be honest, it's a bit complicated.
Freya:  it is?

The amount of Fur you obtain with the Clippers is utterly random and has nothing to do with regularity or frequency of clipping the Wooly.  What you will obtain, however, is Fur of the same size as that left on the Barn floor each day.

Vishnal:  By the way, Princess, do you know what my favourite things are?  My favourite things are Omelte Rice and Croquettes.

I walk in front of the clinc and get an event:

Scary Sammy  Excuse me.
Freya:  Yes?
SS:  Are you familiar with this area?  I'd like to ask directions.
F:  I'd be glad to help.  This guy looks kinda scary, but he certainly seems nice enough.
Vishanl arrives.

Vishnal:  Uh0oh.  I need to buy a new cloth for indow cleaning.  I wonder if Bado has some for sale.
Vishnal: (!)  Ah!  There's Princess.  I wonder what's going on.
Freya:  Where do you want to go?
SS:  I'm looking for the school.  My children will be attending it, so I'd like to see the place.
Freya:  The school?
SS:  Yes.  I heard there was one close to here.  Do you know where it is?
Freya:  Tehre's one here?
SS:  Yes.
Freya:  Really?  I don't remember there being one.
Vishnal:  Hm?  Princess is looking concerned.  And that traveler looks a little frightening.  Oh no...!  Could this person be threatening Princess?!  That's terrible!
Freya:  I'm pretty sure there isn't a school anywhere near here.
SS:  What?  When I got off the airship, the pilot told me there was.
Freya:  Hmm.  That's a problem.
Vishnal:  Enough!
Freya:  Hmm... Wait, 'enough'?
Vishnal rushes over.
Freya:  Vishnal?!
Vishnal:  You there!  What are you doing to Princess?!  And I warn you, depending on what it is, I may get angry!
Freya:  Um, Vishnal?  Hang on a second...
Vishanl:  Step back, Princess.  This person was threatening you, correct?
Freya:  Wrong.
Vioshnal;  I knew it1  That's unforgiveable!
Freya:  He just asked me directions.
Vishnal:  He did what?!  Why that's ...  ... wait.  He asked you directions?  That is all?
Freya:  Yeah.
SS;  Yes. I was quite lost, you see.
Vishnal:  Really?
Freya:  Yeah.
Vishanl:  Oh my gosh.  I'm so sorry!  It was just you... er... looked rather frightening, so I made an assumption.
Freay:  Vishanl,!  Be nice.
SS:  It's all right.  I know that my face isn't the most pleasant.
Vishnal:  Ack!  I'm sorry!  I didn't mean to be rude!
SS:  I dont' mind.  Even my daughter thinks my face is scary enough to avoid me.  So I thought I could find a nice school for her, at least, and maybe earn Daddy Points that way.
Freya:  'Daddy Points'?
SS:  But now it seems like I haven't found one after all.  She's going to hate me, I know it.
Vishnal:  You're looking for a school?
SS:  Yes.  I came here because I heard there was one close by.
Freya:  Right!  And I couldn't remember there being one here, so I wasn't sure what to tell him.
Vishnal:  Ah, I see.  So that's what it was.
SS:  What am I going to do?
Vishnal:  It seems you've gotten off at the wrong airship stop, sir.
SS:  I did?
Vishnal;  The school is at the next stop after Selphia.  Once you get off the airship, you go west for a little ways.  You should then see a large building.  Just go in through the gate that is shaped like a turnip.  The receptionist will be on the left.
SS:  Really?  So that is where it is!  Thank you so much!  No my daughter won't hate me!  I'm going to go there right now!  Thank you again!
Freya:  Wow, you sure know your way around the area, Vishnal.
Vishnal:  N-not particularly.  I just studied the geography of this area in complete detail just in case.  After all, I want to be an elite butler!
Freya:  What does that have to do with this...?
Vishnal:  But I'm very sorry.  I really did jump to conclusions about that gentleman.
Freya:  That's okay.  Thanks for your help.  I needed it.
Vishnal:  Y-You're welcome... (I got a compliment!)
Freya;  Besides...

My choices now:
You looked really cool.
YOu're always a klutz.

Choose:  You looked really cool.
Vishnal:  Huh?
Freya:  I mean, you came over because you wanted to save me, right?  That was pretty cool of you.
Vishanl:  R-r-really?  Oh my goodness, I =I don't deserve so grand a compliment!!  A-and, it's only natural for a person to preotect the things they want to protect!
Freya:  Hmm?
Vishnal:  ACK!  Um!  I-I, uh n-never mind!!  Er, uh, a-anyway, I just realised I have chores waiting for me so I should be going now bye!!!
He rushes off.

If I chose:  You're always a klutz.
Vishnal: AUGH!  Pleas don't say that out loud!
Freya:  Still, thanks.
Vishnal  Huh?
Freya:  I mean, you came over because you wanted to save me, right?  That was pretty cool of you.
Vishanl:  R-r-really?  Oh my goodness, I =I don't deserve so grand a compliment!!  A-and, it's only natural for a person to preotect the things they want to protect!
Freya:  Hmm?
Vishnal:  ACK!  Um!  I-I, uh n-never mind!!  Er, uh, a-anyway, I just realised I have chores waiting for me so I should be going now bye!!!
He rushes off.

It is difficult to tell if the response you make has an effect on FP.

Aber:  Look I made a new flower crown.  I'm gonna give this to Dolly for her birthday.
Freya:  Um, is it me, or does that have a ... golden sheen to it?
Amber:  Yep!  I made it out of lots of Emery Flower!

Dylas now:  Hey, do you like scenic places?

My choices:
I do.
Not really.

I do.
Dylas: ... I found a place with great scenery just outside of town.  If you'd like... w=w=well...
Freya: ...?
Dylas:  ... why... why don't you ... o there sometime?

Arthur:  Kiel gave me soething interesting.  It's this piee of charcoal, which has an oddly sweet scent to it.

On her birthday for Hot Chocolate:

Dolce:  Hot Chocolate?  That's not bad as far as birthday presents go.  Thank you.
PIco:  Milday, you could just say that you like it.  It's less confusing that way.'
Dolce;  Oh, and this is handmade, too.  Not bad.

Doug:  How in the heck can you make charcoal from cookies/
Dylas:  Kiel gave me some scrap metal.  But what the hell am I supposed to do with that/

Freya:  I love you.
Leon:  ARe you serious?
Freya:  Yes, I really love you.
Leon:  Well then... I already have an anser, but I need some time to get my thoughts togehter.  Come to Selphia: Town Square at 10 hundred hours tommorrow.  I'll tell you there.
Freya;  Okay.
Leon:  See you then.

Leon:  Sometimes I htink about old friends.  From before.  I wonder if they lived happy lives.
Freya:  Leon...
Leon:  You know, you have a really funny look on your face right now.
Freya:  Leon!

He is at 8 1/2 hearts.

Saved it and then slept to see what would happen.

He came into the square at 9.16 and I spoke to him.
Freya:  Leon.  Can I hear your answer?
Leon: ...  You are serious about this, yes?
My choices now:
Yes.
Juuuust kidding!
Freya:  Very serious.
Leon:  I ...see.  Then I'll have to give you an equally serious answer.
Freya:...
Leon:  I'm sorry, but I can't go out with you.
Freya:  Wha...?
Leon: ...
Freya: ... Oh.
Leon: ...  It's not that I hate you.  I could never hate you.
Freya:  Wha?
Leon:  Not after all you've taught me.  It was from you I learned what it means to truly care for some one.  And how those feelings just can't be denied.  To be honest, I never imagined what it'd really be like.
Freya:  Then...
Leon: ...  But I can't date you.  Because I can't marry you.
Freya;  Huh?
Leon:  I decided long ago that I'll never get married.  Thus, I cannot date any one.  That comes part and parcel with that decision.  Even if I changed that...  Even if I chose to go out with you, I could never truly be together with you.
Freya: (...)
Leon:  Do you understand now?  Give up on me.  Please.  Though I guess we could still be together as friends.  That doesn't involve marriage.
My choices now:

We don't need to marry!
... Okay, I'll give up.

We don't need to marry.
Leon: (!)  ... Are you all right with that?

My hcoices:
Completely.
Not at all.

Not at all.
Freya:  ... It may wind up being really difficult though.
Leon:  Yeah... it's only normal.  Well then, let's forget about what just happened.  as of ow, we go back to the way we were.  Will that do?
Freya:  ... Yes.
Leon:  Good.  see you later, then.

If I chose: Completely!
He would say I was amusing and that from this day forth, we were lovers, ask what I wanted him to call me and what I wanted to call him... but he would go back to his own bed at the Inn, nonetheless.  I think I need the Double Bed in any case.

Vishnal:  Cirry Rice is wonderful
F:  You like Curry Rice?
Vishnal:  No.
Oh, you don't?
I don't just like it.... I love it!

Freya:  Happy Birthday!
Blossom:  My, my!  Why thank you!  Thanks to you and Doug and every one, I've had a wonderful birthday.
F:  So Doug came to say Happy Birthday?
B:  Yes, but don't let him know I told you.  He was terribly bashful about the whole thing, you know.
F:  Im not surprised.  If everyone found out, he'd be so embarrassed he'd probably leave town.
Blossom:  ee hee, that he would.

For Risotto:  My, my!  Thank you!  What a wonderful bithday present!

Found Leon with Vishnal in Vishnal's room

Vishnal:  I'm sorry Leon.  I'm afraid I don't know anything about that book you're looking for.
Leon:  Ahh.
Vishnal:  But I think Kiel might. Despite what it looks like, he actually studies a lot and is an avid reader.
Leon:  I see.  So you are saying that normally, he doesn't seem very bookish or at all smart, correct?
Vishnal:  Wha?!

I speak to them.

Vishnal:  About that book you were looking for...  I'm afraid I don't know anything about it.  It might be best to go ask Kiel.
Leon:  I just may.  After all, it seems he's unexpectedly well read.
Vishnal:  ERm, that's not what I meant.  It was just a ... a tur of phrase.

Kiel;  Man, Leon is so cool!  I wonder if I can be as cool as him soe day?

Kiel:  When reading a novel... don't you ever wonder if the world you're dreading about might actually exist/
Not at all.
This world is fictional.

If I say Not at all.
Kiel:  But I do!  Perhaps we're also characters in some kind of story.  If we are, I hope iI'd be cast as a knight, even if it's just for one brief, shining moment.

Freya:  Leon, you're versed in the ancient language, right?
Leon:  I am.
My choices now:

Would you teach it to me?
How do you say I love you?

How do you say I love you?

Leon: ... So why do you want to learn the ancient language, exactly?
Freya:  Erm...
Leon:  Ehh, I don't mind either way.
Freya: ...?
Leon:  I'll teach you some whenever i can find a spare moment.

When I walk up to the airship in the morning at 11.00 a.m., Leon and Kiel are there.

Kiel:  Hey, Leon?  What would I have to do to be like you?
Leon:  I suspect that, as long as you hold that desire, you wo't be able to do it.
Kiel:  Oh.  Hmm... Maybe I'll start going around without a shirt on, like you do.
Leon: ...  That sounds like a marvelous idea.
Kiel:  Really?
Leon:  You should give it a try when you have the chance.  The look on your sister's face would be priceless.
Kiel:  Forte's?  Why?
Leon:  But that is neither here nor there.  Have you found anything about that book I mentioned?
Kiel:  Oh!  Yeah, I have.

I walk up and talk to them.
Kiel:  But yeah... It's written in a really old language, isn't it?
Leon:  Yes, it is.  Have you read it?
Kiel:  I think so.  I might even already have a copy somewhere in my room.  Do you want me to look?
Leon:  Would you?  That'd be great if you had a copy on hand.
Keil:  Okay!

Leon:  ARthur is also quiet, but he seems calm... unlike Dylas.  He likes girls with glasses a bit too much, though.  He has a real 'thing' for them.
Freya:  That... sounds a bit personal.  Maybe you should tone down the accusations a bit.

I found loen in Bado's forge.

Leon:  Kiel is so reliable.  And he's refreshingly frank about what he sees. ... Unlike his sister.

Kiel:  Even if this world were the setting for some kind of fictional story...  Nothing would change.  BEcause no matter what story you're telling, it's the characters who choose the ending.

I'll go look for the book Leon asked about once I get home.  What was it called again?  I think it was 'A Recipe for Happiness'.?

Walk from the plaza towards the clinic.

Doug:  Whaddya think you're doing?  Thanks to you jumping out at me, I've dropped my ice cream on the ground!
Dylas:  I didn't jump out at you, you weren't watching where you were going!  You ran into me!
Doug:  Are you saying it's MY fault, you flea-bitten, sway-back nag?!
Dylas:  Say that again, you piint-sized, pebble-brained dwarf!
Leon:  'Let us use each other's words to talk'.
They both turn to look at him.
HMM?
Leon:  I took my heart out and placed it on a plate one day.  I looked at it, watched it, then put it next to yours.  Then we added a cup of argument, a dash of honesty and a pinch of trust...'  'And what would you know... we had both begun to smile'.
Doug:  What are you talking about?
Leon:  It's a tale of a happy couple who would do that to make amends.
Doug:  huh?
Leon:  It's written right here in this book.
Dylas: ...
Dylas leaves.
Doug:  Hmph.  Whatever.  I don't feel like othering with it now.
He leaves.
Leon:  So this is 'happiness'. ... Interesting.

I speak to him.
Leon:  'A Recipe for Happiness'.  Apparently a happy couple used this method to make amends when they didn't see eye to eye.

My choices:
That's so neat.
What a sappy romance.

That's so neat.
Leon:  Yes.  Though if you think about it, it's just another mushy romance between a besotted couple.
Freya:  Um...
Leon:  Freya.  Thank you.
Freya:  Um... For what?
Leon: Guess! (music)

See Kiel near the Flower Shop.

Kiel:  Oh Freya.  Would you take a look at this?
Freya:  You can... keep holding my hand while you're looking... if you want...

My choices:
Leave it.
Slowly shake it off.
Kiel:  See how this soil has a different colour?  Wait...  Hey!  Are you listening?
Freya;  You sure seem to be excited.

Dylas:  What the hell is leon up to this time?  Not that it has anything to do ith me.... but it still sounds kinda interesting.  Maybe I'll ask him later.

I upgraded all my armour and went back to fight ethelberd.  Almost died, but managed to hide in the teleport corners.  Then he changed and became impervious to damage.  Couldn't touch him physically or with magic.  Then suddenly Doug arrives with Arthur in the airship.

Doug:  Heeeeeey!  Freya!!

ARthur:  Can you hear us?  Reinforcements have arrived!  We neutralised the centre of the Floating Empire!

Soldiers go through the area.

Doug: And we brought some big help back with us!  So...

Arthur:  Let's defeat Ethelberd!  And go back home together!

I am still in the room with Ethelberd when Venti appears.
Freya:  Venti?!  A=are you ... all right?
Venti: ... You've got quite a look on your face...
Freya:  O-of course I do!  I... I...
Venti:  You got back one of the Rune Spheres, no?  That's how I was able ... to...
Freya:  Venti...
Venti:  Heh... Why are you smiling?  Did you miss me that much?

My choices:
I really did.
No, it's just a tick.

Freya:  I really did.
Venti:  I see.  ... I missed you, to.
Freya:  Venti...
Venti:  So, that's our enemy?
Freya:  Yeah.
Venti:  ... I see. He has an enormous amount of rune power in him.  That's the power bestowed by the Rune Spheres, is it?  It' s much too much for a human to bear.
Freya:... Sorry, Venti.
Venti: For what?
Freya:  I promised you I'd bget back all the Rune Spheres, but I... I couldnt'.
Venti: Are you saying you've given up already?
Freya:  What?
Venti:  Well, we're going to get those Rune Spheres back from him right now, you and I.  Just as promised.  Okay?
Freya:  venti...  All right!  I'm ready for this!
Ethelberd:  Are you two finished talking now?  Can the sleughter resume?  Let's get this over with, Native Dragon and Earthmate!
Venti:  Hmph... Who do you think you're talking to, human?
E: Human...?  ... Hmph!  Arbsurd!  I am not such an insignificant creature anymore.
Venti:  Oh/
E:  I am an Earthmate, blessed by the earth and its runeS!  Humans are nothing to me now.  They are but pathetic ants...  Not even worth fighting!

He puts his shield roudn him again.
Freya:  Ngh...!
Venti:  How foolish...  Erthmates are humans themselves.  And your power is nothing more than a sham.  A pathetic imitation of something greater than you.  If the power you use exceeds your capacity, your body will collapse like a rag doll's...
E:  ... You're right.  This shell cannot host the soul of a god.  Therefore, it is inevitable and when my body collapses... I will abandon this husk and sublimate into a proper god!
Venti: ... There's no point talking with him anymore.  He's gone off the deep end...
Venti:  Freya, are you ready?

My choices:
Of course!
I have to keep my promise!
Venti:  I'm counting on you!
E:  Come!!  Sacrifice yourself for my glorious evolution!

GH...! ... Haha... ... Hahahahaha  Wonderful...  Magnificent!  You are truly impressive, Native Dragon... and you as well, Earthmate!  just as I expected...  I was right... It was all correct... It was all just as I'd imagined!
Venti:  ... He's finished.  It was obvious this would happen if he tried to use that much rune power.
Freya: ...
E:  I ... am... the King of the world...  I want more Power... power to destroy everything... everwheleming power...  I've been longing for it... for so many years...  To possess... that power...  That was my only desire.... To take over... the world...  And...  Finally... I found it... The power... of the Rune Spheres!
Venti:  You still don't get it, do you?  Pathetic human...  Humans can't become gods.  They will always be humans, no matter what.  It doesn't matter what lofty ends you desire.  No one can be something they're not.  But that's why everything, and every one is precious.  In equal measure.
E:  No...
Venti:  You deny this truth?
E: It's nothing more than ... and excuse.. Invented by those who gave up their ambitions.  I'm difernt.  I will not be held back by such a minro ... hurdle...  I wil not be satisfied with a vessel like this.  THese Rune Spheres have enough power to tchange things.  To change the very nature of life...  Native Dragon, you do understand my meaning.. do you not?  Although you should have been reborn, how is it you can still stay here in this world?  You know what it is that makes that possible, don't you?
Venti: ...
E:  I can see it clearly...  I received the power of the Rune Spheres.  The same power that flows through you.  ANd now that you've lost your power, the falme of your existenc eis flickering... fading...
Venti: ...!
She collapses.
Freya:  Venti!
Venti:  It seems i used too much power...  As he said... I, too am dying..
Freya:  Let's get back the other Rune Spheres, then!
Venti:  No...
Freya;  What...?
Venti:  My body should have collapsed long, long ago.  The Guardians have been halting its progress all this time.  I survived.. by twisting and draining their life energies.
Freya;  ...
Venti: Eveyrthing has meaning.  So, too,d o the Rune Spheres.  Their purposes were supposed to have been determined when they were born.  If I use them for my own selfish ends...  then I'm no different than he...
Freya;  Venti...  But...!
Venti:  Listen to me, Emperoro of Sechs.  The stones are neither for saving my life... nor for tansforming a human into an Earthmate or a god.  Runes are the essence of vitality.  They grant life to everything on and in the ground! Even if you should try to change their purpose, bending it to your own selfish needs...  I, Wind Dragon Ventuswill, will not allow it!  As a Native Dragon I swear, it shall not stand!
E:  Do you.. undertandt what that means?  It means... you have to die, too...
Venti:  ... Maybe so...  But...  IN spite of knowing the fatte that awaits me, this is my duty, if I should ignore it...  How can I take pride in anythig I've ever done?  How could i ever say without hesitation...  that I am truly glad to have been born into this world as a Native Dragon?
freya: ...!
E:  Ha ha...  I htink you misunderstand one thing about me.
V:  And what might that be?
E:  I too am proud of myself and what I've done in my life...  And the goal i spent my life trying to achieve...  is to abandon this human body and become a god.  And...  the Rune Spheres I possess..along with the circumstances that have brought them into my possession... can make my dream a reality!  Ether... Link!
Ventii:  What... is this...?  I'm being dragged... to him...?!
Freya:  Venti?!
E:  Did you forget, EArthmate?  What i have been studyig through my use of the Rune Spheres... is a means of obtainig the power of an Earthmate as a human.  Then, by using that power, combining human and monster into one entity!  And then... through that technique... becoming a true.. honest to goodness... Native Dragon!  To transform a human into a Native Dragon... into a god!  That is what I seek!
V:  No!  You mustn't1
Freya;  VENTI!!!
E:  Hahaha...  Ehtmate of Selphia, why are you so upset?  Did I not warn you well in advance?  I said, even if you don't come to me, I will most assuredly come to you!  I was thinking about destroying you first... as you are the biggest obstacle to my success...  But since the Native Dragon came right to my door, this whole pln suddnly became more convenient..
venti:  Ghh...!
E:  Now!  Become a part of me! Grant me your dogly powers!
Freya;  ENTI!!  No!  I can't let htis happen!

They fuse.  I can't fight either.

Freya;  Venti...?
???  ...
Fryea:  Hey, Venti...
???  Haahaha GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!  Yes...!  This is exactly what I wanted!  Now i have the power of a god and the vessel to match it!  This is the perfrect form for a conquereor!  It's wonderful!  Positively stunning!  What...?  GHah...!
Venti:  Freya...
Freya:  Venti?!
Venti:  Please...  Defeat... me...
Freya:  ...?!
Venti:  Send me back to the Forest of Beginnings with him... It's the only chance ... we have... to stop this...
Freya:  But...!
Venti:  Pleas...se...!  Stop... him... Ghaahh!
E:  That foolish dragon just doesn't know when to give up!  But, she was worshipped as a god all this time.  It stands to reason she'd fight me to the end.  Now then...  How do you like it, Earthmate?  do you like my new look?  Does Ventuswill's skin suit me?  Am I... beautiful?

Poor Freya.  I warned you once, but you ingnored me.  And now look what's happened!  But... not to worry.  The power of Ventuswill that now flows within me... the power you couldn't protect...  will be put to good use...  as your new god...  and the future ruler of this entire world!
Freya:  Ethelberd!
E:  Ah, I know...  As I token of my gratitude towards the Native Dragon, and you who made this all possible...  I shall make my first order of business the burning of the town of Selphia to ashes!  Surely the good Lady Ventuswill would be pleased with such a humble offering, no?
Freya:  ETHELBEEEERD...!
E:  Come, EArthmate!  I will make you feel the same sense of humiliation and frustration as I!  You will crawl therehelplessly in despair and self-loathing.

This is what I wanted to see.  I wanted to see one of your kind, who once struck me down, drawl upon the ground like an insect@
Freua:  ... Ugh...
E:  You Earthmates do deserve some measure of respect, to be sure.  For you are the only ones who've ever humbled me.  However...  I will not forget that humiliation... that suffering...  I will never forget it.. Earthmate...!  For days, for years, for decades!  Agian and again and again and again!  I will never forget!  I've dreamed of it so many times...  I dreamed about thd ay I was ddefeated by the likes of you.  So many times... everyh night...
Freya;  What... are you talking about?
E:  Every time I dreamed about it.. it broke my heart.  Broke it in two, three, four, five thousand pieces...  So...  Please accept this token of my appreciation...  Suffer... Suffer!  SUFFER!  WRITE etc.  DIEDIEDIE... and when.. you've been... dealt... with...  I will see to it that all of your kind is exterminated from this plane... Earthmte.  But before I kill you.. I will take great pleasure... in annihilating everything you love.

He attacks the airship with Arthur and Dou.
Doug:  Gyaaaaaaggghhh!!
Arthur:  Oof!  The ship... she's still siitng!  She's spinning out of control!
Freya:  Doug...!  Arthur...!
E"  Hahaha... if they're precious to you, then why don't you protect them?  ... Oh, that's right.  Because you can't!  After all, you couldn't even save the Holy Dragon as she suffered right in front of you.  GUAAAHHAAHAAHAAHAA!  So, what's next...?
Freya:  ...S-stop...
E:  Don't force yourself, Freya.  Just stay there and enjoy the show.  I want you to see me detroying everything that's precious to you... one by on...GAUAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
Freya: ...  I have... to... stop him...  But...  I have no strength left...
In the black:  I'm sorry, Venti...  I'm sorry, everyone... ... ...
Venti's voice:  Don't give up, Freya.
fReay:  What...?
E: What was that light...?
Freya:  I can feel something warm ... by my heart...  Venti's Cahrm is ... glowing...?
Venti:  Freya, don't give up!

In the glade now I see Amber, Illuminata, Blossom and an Ambrosia Thorn I think.
Amber: ... Ah, it's working!  It's going through!
Illuminata:  Well done, Amber!  Or should I call you Watson!Either way I'm proud of you.
Blossom there and Vishnal.
Vishnal:  Can you hear us, Princess?  The voice of Lady Venuswill came to us through the charm!  She told us to gather our power and send it to you from the Rune Spots!  Se we're going to do exactly as we've been instructed.  The powre will come through the feather!  So...
Blossom:  Don't give up!  Not yet!  show that fiendish Emperor you won't go down without a fight!
Ill:  If a detective gives up, the case remains unsolved!
Amber:  RRRG... I can't hold this much longer...!  Ar you hearing out thoughts?  Take them!  Make them a part of you!  Use them!

Don't forget, Freya.

Dylas; Okay, it's ready.
Margaret:  Erm, so what do we do?
Dylas:  We, the Guardians, send as much rune power as we can from here.  So you guys pray for us that Freya receives it!
Meg:  All right, I got it!  Let's tdo this!
Porco and Bado there as well in the Water Ruins.
{orco spinning;  I love you, Freya!
Meg:  Hay! Porco!
Bado:  Yo, Clorica>  You awake?
Clorica:  ...
Meg; Come on, Guys!  We have to focus!  We're going to send our powre to Freya together, right?
Clorica:  Yes... I'm praying with all my heart right now.
Bado:  Oh, so you're awake now, huh?  Guess that's my cue to start praying too!
Porco:  With the power of my love, Freya will succesed!
Dylas;  Ugh... Get ready!  I'm going to send it right now!
Meg:  Huh?  Hey!  Wait!  I still have to pray too!  Don't give up, freya!
Dylas:  Okay...  I hope you're hearig all this, Freya!

Remember, you're not alone!

Obsidian Ruins:

Dolce;  Im ready.  How about you guys?
Pico:  Is everyody good to go?
Nancy:  I'm ready,.  Jones?  Kiel?
Jones:  Everything is A-OK on my end.
Kiel:  Same here.
Dolce; ... Then let's pay our debts to that nosy fool.
Pico:  Dolly... why can't you just be honest about your feelings?  Now's the time, you know!
Nancy: It's okay, Pico.  We all know how she truly feels.
Kiel:  What she means is she wants to show her appredciation to Freya, right/
Joes:  That's right.  And given the nature of this deleema, we should all at just as we normally do.
Pico  Looks like you weren't fooling anybody, Dolly!
Dolce: Dumb ghost...
Nancy: Dolly?!
Jones:  Are you all right?
Dolce: I'm fine. for hundreds of years.. I was ednign rune power to Venti ... from here...
Kiel:  Hang in there, Dolce!  Please send our thoughts to Freya!
Jones:  That's right!  It' sall up to you now!
Nancy:  Hang in there, Milady! fryea!
Pico:  I will not gorgive you if you give up now!
Dolce;  Yeah... don't worry.  You have my word.  I laso have.. soemthing I want to say to fReay...

So I really hope ... for a safe resolution...

Now beucaiful Leon...

Leon;  Okay... Let's get started.Forte: ... Um, shouldn't you be a little more serious about this?
Leon:  I'm being completely serious, I assure you.  I may not be outwardly showing any nervousness, but trust me.  I'm giving this my best effort.
Lin Fa:  I don't doubt you for a moment.  Come on. Let's wait for them. Just like always.
Vokanon;  One of a butler's duties is taking care of th house during the master's absence.  So fear not!  We butlers will protect the castle for sure.
Forte:  Can I have a word, too?  As  aknight, I'm truly sorry I can't join you in this fight.  But I'll definitely protect the people of this town with my life!
Xiao Pai:  I'm waiting for you, Freya.  I'm waiting for your return here.
Lin Fa:  As am I.
Volkanon:  Your place is right here, miss Freya.
Leon:  Don't give up.  Save Ventuswill!  You are the only one who can save her.. the only hope for this world.  Take our hope and give it form.

We believe in the future you weave,w hatever it may be.

Freya; my wounds are getting healed.  ANd I can feel power welling up from within me, too!

Freya...  I leave my soul to you as well.  Please...  Please defeat the false god. DEstroy him with your own two hands.

Freya:  You're right.  Every one.. You're right.  I mustn't give in!  I have to do evertying in my power to stop this!
E:  So, you're still struggling in vain, are you?
Freya:  I will ris eup against you as many times as it takes.  Because I'm not alone.  Every one in Selphia is waiting for our return!
E:  Ha hahah...  How touching!  Your'e quite the dreamer, Earthmate! Its eems I'll need to break your spirits all over again... Just as mine were broken and left for dead... again and again...

Venti!
Venti:  Look at your face!  You'e a mess!... I told you before, remember/  ... Nothing's impossible...
Freya:  Venti...
E:  I- I don't understand...  This... cannot be!  How could a god lose to a mere human?! I hd divine power on my side!  And... and even a divine body...
Freya;  You had nothing.
E:  What...?
Frey: none of tha amounted to anything at all.  Not where it counts.  You never actually had control over the power of a Native Dragon or even an Earthmate.  You were pullig the strings for one dark moment... but the power was ours.  It was always ours.
E. No!  I had... everything...!  But... you, Earthmate!  You estroyed it all again! Just like before!
Freya:  You weren't even defeated by an Earthmate!  You were defeated by an ordinary human.
E:  That's impossible.
V: piwer cines frint eg geart, Ut;s bit sinetgubg tabgubke ir neasyrabke,

Power comes from the heart.  It's not something tangible or measurable.  ANd you can never possess some one elses haeart unless they give it to you willingly.  Which is why I did just that.  I handed my heart over to another.  To many others.  I gave them my thoughts and my passions.  To ordinary humans.
E: .. No...  Was I... defeated by humans...?  I became an Earthmate and even surpassed a Native Dragon!  And yet, I was brought down by mere humans.  GUUUAAAAAAHHHHH!!!  No! No, it can't be!  I can't accept this!  I can never accep this! never... never... never... NEVER!  Wh=what...?
Venti:  His runes are being dragged into the Forest of Beginnings...
Freya:  That means...
V: Yes. He used too much of the Rune Sphere's power for his human beody to contain it... He's on the verge of collapse.
E:  Hahahah  I knew it!  I'm no longer... human...  This is the prooof...  Look at this!  Earthmate!  I'm going back to the forest as a god!  Admit it, Earthmate! My existence... My dignity... I am... a daying god!  Admit it!  ADMIT IT< EARHTMAAAATE!!  Admit... it...
V:  He clung to his delusion until the every end.  What a pity.
Freya: ...
V:  But...
Freya:  Venti!  Are you all right?
V:  Yes... Somehow...
Freya:  Thank goodness!
V:  Well done, Freya.  You defeated Ethelberd. It mst have been quite an ordeal.
Freya:  Not at all.  Because I wasn't alone. I had every one else by my side.
V:  I see... I don't know how I can ever repay you for risking your life on my behalf...  Thank you.  Thank you for saving me, Freya.
Freya:  Venti...  I'm not the only one who saved you.  Every one in town fought alongside me.  You should thank them too.  Venti?  What's wrong?
Venti:  Your're right. Once we get home, I need to thank eveyr single person in Selphia.  Hop on my back, Freya.  Let's head on home.
Freya:  You got it!

Now, finally, the crdits roll. What an ordeal!

The End

So I was right after all.
You realead the rune power and saved me.  From the first moment I saw you, I saw a small light shining within.  Now that I htink about it... it could have been a ray of hope.
Freya:  Oh, come on now.
I'm serious. You are a ray of hope.  You gave the Guardians... the town of Selphia... and the people of Norad a future.  You should take more pride in what you  acocmplished.
Freya;  We all defeated Ethelberd together, though.
That's true.  I suppose you did.
Every one wanted to save you, Venti.
Including you?
Of course!
I see...  Wait, we're almost there.  Hold on tight.  I'm staring my descent.  ... Thank you, Freya.
You're welcome.

Wer'e here, Freya.
I bow.
Ahh... be it ever so humble.!  I feel like i've been fighting forever.
Yes, it's been along day indeed.  I'm a bit tired myself.
Venti...?
V: ...
Freya; hi, eveyr one!
Amber: I  knew you'd come back!
Ill: We may have helped a little, but this is your victory most of all, Freya!
Vishnal: I was so moved... by your brave actions!  Even if I couldn't actually see them. I knew they were happeneing!
Freya: It wasn't just me. I was able to win this battle because of ever one's prayer. You all had a hand in it.
Amber; You must be tired too, Ven.
Ven: ... Yes.
Amber;  ... hmm?  Are you all right?
V:  Uh...
??? Freya!!!

Vishnal:  That must be Margaret!
Amber: They're back from the ruins1
Ill:  The itmeframe for their return does seem plausible.  But it could be a trap!
Vishnal:  B-but why would it be... exactly?
Ill: I t's ust my instint as a detective.
V:  I can see things are back to normal here.
Freya: I owe every one a real debt of gratitude.  I'm going to go give my thanks.  See you later, enti!
V:  Take care.
Outside in the plaza:
Margaret:  Great job, Freya!
Freya;  Thanks. I  couldn't have done it by myself, though!
Blossom: You sure did a wonderful job, Freya.  You must be exhausted.
Clorica:  It was fantastci! I wa so moved by what was happening around me!
Margaret: Why don't you say something too, Dylas?
Dylas; ... Oh, Well, you know...  Good job.  You... did well.
Meg;  Hahah!  What was that?  Stop being such a shybadby!  This is a itme for celebration!
Porco:  Indeed it is!  Ad what better way to dcelebrate than with a kiss from moi!
Meg: Proco, that's going too far!
Clorica: It almost feels like a dream.... But I'm not dreaming, am I?
Bado:  Oh!  i have something perfect for you, Clorica.  I call it a 'Cheek Pincerh'. it lets you check to see if you're dreaming.
Freya:  With a name like tha, i'd say it's pretty obvious how it works.
Blossom:  By the way... where's Doug?  I haven't seen him just yet.
Freya:  Uh... ...
Blossom:  W-wait...
Dylas; No... don't you dare tell me...!
Meg:  It's the airship!
Freya:  What...?!
We run towards it.
It descends and they emerge.
Freya:  Doug!  Arthur!  I'm so glad you'two oare okay!
Doug; Of course we are!  How could I die in a plce like that?!
Arthur: Don't know how we did it.. but we did it.  We made it through.  But I have to admit that it was very, very close.
Freya:  You two...  Thanks so much for ocming to help.
Doug:  Heh.
ARthur: I promised you I'd do everything i my power, didn't I?
Blossom:  Doug! Oh, dear Doug, you're alive!
Doug:  Wh-what?  Granny Blossom! ... Course I am.
Doug:  H-hey, what's witht eh vice grip?  Granny Blossom?  S-stop! They're all looking at us!
Freya: There is no need to be embarrassed.
Arthur: Blossom must have been terribly worried. Let her at least hug ou.
Doug:  Wait!  What happened to Ethelberd...?  And Ventusvill?
Arthur: That's right! After Ethelberd took over...!
Freya:  Don't worry. I defeated Ethelberd and took back both Venti and the Rune Spheres!
Doug:  For serious?!
Arthur: I'm ecstatic to hear that.  And where are the Rune Spheres now?
Freya:  Right here.
Arthur: Let me hold onto them for th emoment, please. I'll orde rthe capital to have them set in plae right away.  And of course, I'll make sure they'e fully secured this time.
Freya: Thanks a bunch!
he goes off.
Arthur: Now, what say we go visit Lady Venustwill?
Doug:  S-sure.
Freya; I think I'll go thank the others.
Arthur:  All right.
Doug: Phew.. I'm glad that's over.  Gotta admit. I was pretty damn worried.
Dylas;  You don't look it now. You look sickeningly happy now, actually.
Doug:  Sh ..shut up!
Meg;  So do you, Dylas.  Now that you know Doug's okay.
Dylas;  Wha...?!
Arthur: Haha. You two just can't get enough of each other.
WHAT?!  THAT's NOT TRUE!

I walk down the road.
Pico:  Freya!  We were so worried!  Especially milady!
Kiel  Way to go Freya!  I heard all about your accomplishents from Lady Ventuswill!!
Nancy: Seems like you wer outstanding! Just as expected!
Freya: I couldn't have done it without ever one else's help.  Thank you.
Jones:  No, we should be the ones thanking you.  Thank you so muchfor beatring the weight of our passions and hearing our thoughts.
Dolce:  So.. not bad, Freya.
Pico:  Here she goes again...
Freya;  Thanks, Dolce. I was realy encouraged... when you told me to come home safely.
Dolce;  Wh...?!
Pico; Ooh, so that's what you prayed for, huh?
Nancy:  How sweet of you, Dolly!
Dolce; ...
Kiel:  Mmm, I had no idea!
Dolce:  Wait!  Kiel, don't you dare...
Kiel; Don't worry. I know1
dolce;  Fine, then.
Kiel; I'll make sure to tell every one excactly what happened, so there are no imisunderstandings!
Dolce:  What?!
Jones: That sounds lovely.
Kiel runs off.
Dolce: Now hold on a second!
Freya: I'll wander around town a little more, I think.
the others meet me in the plaza.
Xiao Pai: Oh!  There you are!
Forte: How are you, freya? Are you uninjured?
Lin Fa:  We saw Lady Ventuswill on our way back.
Volkanon;  Miss Freya!  That was utterfly magnificent!
Xiao Pai:  You wer enot badly inured yes?  I was very worried.
Forte: I'm truly sorry that i couldn't accompany you.  As a knight, it would've been my honour.
Lin Fa;  We all prayed a lot so that you'd win!
Volkanon:  You're the hero of this town, Miss Freya!
Freya: Um, err...
Leon:  Sheesh.  Who don't you all calm down a little?
Freya; Oh, Leon!
Leon: That's my name. Don't wear it out.
Freya: Thank youv ery much for helping me.  Of course, I need to thank each and every each one of you. I couldn't have saved Venti if it weren't for all of your efforts.

Leon: i'm glad we placed our hopes on you.  Thank you, Freya.
Meg:  Freya!  I finally found you1
Arthur: And you're with every one eles!  Excellent! Will you all come to the restaurant, please/
Forte:  The reastaurant?  Why?
Meg: Proco and Dylas are preparing sepcial dishes in celebration. We're having a party today!
Arthur: I've asked the kingdom to hold off on their official thanks so we could have itme to uwind.
Freya: Oh. Then we should invite Venti, too.
Arthur: Lady Ventuswill won't be attending.
Freya: Huh...?
She said that the hwole restaurant would collaps if she tried to fit inside it.
Leon: Ha ha.  That's true!
Arthur: I must say, she looked quite tired, too. She could use some quiet.
Volkanon: It must have been a long and exhausting day for her...
Lin Fa: But you'll juoin us, right, Freya?
Xiao Pai: Tings would not be the same ifyou were not here!
Freya:  Of course!
Meg:  Yay! Then let's go!
Leon:  We'll join you all after we see Venti.
Arthur: Okay.  We'll be waiting.

The restaurant ever yone.

Me with vEnti.
V: ... it's you.
Freya;  You're awake.
V: So?  Does every one seem to be having a good time now that the crisis is averted?
Freya;  They do.  They're all happy that eveyrthing's going back to normal again.
V:  Back to normal...
F  Yeah.  With you and every one else present and accounted for.
V:  And you too, of course.
F: Right. Peaceful, care-free days filled with joy and love. You and I bickering and laughing like we always do. It all seems os small compared to what we just acocmplsiehd. But it's exactly what we all want.  What we all need. It's what makes life worth living.
V: ...
Venti?
they were all overcome with joy, weren't they?
Absolutely.
I'm satisfied then.  Satisfied that I could see you this one last time...
What...?
Venti... your body...  Why?!
V: ...  I can not longer stay here. I must go to the Forest of Beginnings.
What?  But ... we've taken back the Rune Spheres!
Even using the powr of the Rune SPheres...  I can't receive the runes themselves without a body.
What do you mean...?
By the time you defeated Ethelberd... my body had alreayd returned ot the Forest of Beginnings...  What's left here is only my spirit. My wish was to see ever one's faces one last itme. And to spend even a moment longer wiht you.  But my time is short.It will soon be impossible to maintain this form just by wishing.  And the runes are dwindling.  It's time to say goodbye Freya
No.
V: Don't be so sad. I was supposed to die centuries ago, and yet we met.  That enough is a miracle. Ato ne point I had resented the decision made tby the Guardians and the Earthmates... But I am thankful now. Getting to know you...making such a dea friend... was one of the best things that's ever happened to me.
Venti.
That's why... I want you to smile as you see me off.'Freya: ...
V: This it the last request i'll make of you. And i ask it ias a friend. Please.
Freya: ... That's not fair, Venti.
V: I'm sorry.  Look after this town for me when I'm gone.
Freya; Dont worry. I have plenty of others to help me with that.
V: Anything could happen the moment I leave.
Freya: ot really, youw eren't actually doing anything, after all.
V: Cheeky little brat.
Freya: Still...
V: Hmm?
they'll all be sad, you know.
V: ...
V: It's almsot time...
Venti...
V: I won't forget you.
Nor I you, venti!
V: I don't relaly care if you do.
Freya; No, you care. You get lonely so easily. I know you're happy to hear me say I won't forget you.
Geez... Mind your own business!
Freya: hee hee
V: Well.. To be hoenst, I wouldnt mind you thinking of me from time to time. Remembering that I once secisted in this world.
I promise you. I'll never, ever forget a moment of the itme we've spent together.  I'll keep bragging to every one... that the first friend I ever met was a dragon god who's sensitive and strong... and has a caring, loving heart.
V: jerk..  I couldn't keep my promise...
Freya: Huh...?
I promised to bring back your memories... and that I'd stay beside you until that day comes...  I'm sorry.
Freya: You didn't break that promise.
V: What...?
You did exactly what you said you'd do. I now have tones of wonderful memories, thanks to you. I came to this town and got to know a lot of people. And learned os much just by talking with them. Not to mention meeting tha melodcramaatic best friend of mine.  She's a bit scally but very sweet.
V: ...
Freya; My memories, both happy and sad... are all here, within me. So there's nothing to worry about.  You did me one better than bringing them back. You helpe dme create newere, better memories.
V: ... I see.
Freya: Hey, Venti... Don't go.
V: ...
Venti. please stay.
v: ... It's itme. I'm sorry.
Venti! Wait, please!  Don't go!
Good bye, Freya!
Venti!
V: I was truly happy to have known you.
Freya:  Hey!
V: Thanks to you, I could love another human being again...
Freya: Venti...
V: If, one day, our paths may cross once more... Then... nothing mwould please me more than spending every day bickering and k=joking with you again.
Venti!
Thank you, Freya!  My last, best friend!
She winks out, thank God!
Freya: Venti...  you idiot.  How am I supposed to say my final goodbyes with a smile... Ngh...

Black:  That day, Venti disappered from our sight. We wer ein mourning for a long time.. but eveyr one's lives ar emore or less back to normal now.  Eveyr now and again, though, we'll ge thte feeling that something important is missing...
The sehc eMpire retreated soon afte rhe fall of their emporer.  Envoys are being sent from Norad for diplomatic relations.  Now that Etheberd's gone, Sechs seems to have entered into a period of radical change.  Arthur says it coudl transomr the political ladnscape in a very positive way. But really, isn't that to be expected? Enemies or no, they're still human beings.


Ass for me... I've been living tlife just liek I had been like every one else is.  Although my ehart feels a little emptier than before after Venti's departure...  I constantly remidn myself that i've gained jsut as much as I've lost.  I still can't remember who I was before coming here. However... These new memories I've made are ones I can look back on with pride. they're memories of beautiful times spent with dear friends.  I wonder if she's watching over aus from afar...

Once there was a god in this town. She took the form of a dragon but spoke the language of humans.  As much as she loved us, she was afraid of getting hut, so she remained distanft for a long time.  She was a truly caried ogod. And though she's now gone... we must move forward with our lives, working towards a blissful future.  Though borh happiness and hardships... we must live every day here, toiling as we moretals are wont to do.  Toiling together, in harmony.  That was... the last promise I made with my firest friend.  one wther was  agod in this town.  And I was her friend.

It is 6.00 a.m. on 24 inter.

Go to plaza for Leon event.

Forte:  Leon, I hae something to ask.
Leon: I see.
Forte: Hey!  Why did you walk right past me?
Leon: I don't recall you asking me to stop.
Forte: Rrgh...~
Leon:  Well, what is it then?
Forte:  ... Ill be brief..  I hear you've been spendig a lot of itme speaking with Kiel. Can I ask you not to give him any more odd or inappropriate ideas, pelase?  I mean, just htis morning he nearly walked out the door with no shirt in order to mimic you.
Leon: What, he really did it/
Forte: Why are you smilin glike that/  it is NOT amusing!  What other disraceful ideas have you put in his head?  Spit it out!
Leon:  Whatever could you mean?
Forte: Erm...
After;
Leon:  What do you think I'm teaching Kiel?
Forte: Things like... erm, how to... to dally with women, and uh...
Leon:  Pardon.  I can barely hear you.
Forte: Urk... Like I said!
Leon:  You know, I personally believe ignorance is unhealthier than knowledge, regardless of subject.
Forte: That may be true, yes, but... Wait!  So you could hear me!
Leon:  I recall saying I could 'barely'hear you, not that I couldn't hear you at all.
Forte: Why you...!!!



xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
24 Winter, 6.30 a.m.  After I win the battle,  event in the plaza at 6.30 between Forte and Leon.

After:
Forte:  What on earth does Kiel see worth emulating of that man?

Leon:  She left this world to us.  /So our duty now is clear.  We have to proect our inheritence.

Leon:  I was not impressed when I first met that lady knight.  I thought her stiff, formal and entirely unintereseting.  Who knew she would be such fun to tease?

When I speak to him again:
Leon:  Christmas?  I wonder if what Kiel said is true.

Kiel:  I tried going out without a shirt on this morning, like Leon does.  But Forte saw me.  I don't know why, but she got all red and demanded I quit it...    I guess I didn't leave the shirt off right.  What other way is there to do it?

Volkanon;  Tomorrow will be Christmas.  It is a day when every one makes a wish upon the stars in the sky.  It is also a perfect time for a date.  be sure you ask your love today!  Tomorrow is too late.

Arthur:  I have heard many townsfolk talk about Christmas.  I find the legend associated with it to be rather interesting.

throbby Snapper is the same as Love Snapper

At 9.20 I find an event with Leon and Lin Fa outside the Inn when I go north.

Lin Fa:  Oh, Leon?  A moment!
Leon:  Yes?
Lin Fa:  Are you on your way to Arthur's office?
Leon:  I'm going that direction, yes.
Lin Fa;  Would you do a favour for me?  Could you please deliver this leter to Arthur?
Leon:  I can do that.
Lin Fa:  Why thank you!  Here.  Make sure he gets it, okay?
Leon:  I will.

After:

Leon:  ACHOO!  Hmph.  I wonder who's spreading rumours about me this time.
Then:
Leon:  Well then, now what?

Lin Fa: Leon is such a nice person.  He's a reliable older brother figure for the entire town!

By 9.40 a.m., Leon enters Arthur's office and I can trigger the next event.

Leon:  Hi!  Do you have a moment?
Arthur:  Oh, hello, Leon.  Is this about the ancient text?
Leon:  Yes, but first Lin Fa asked me to give this to you.
He hands him the letter.
Arthur:  Ahh, so she has another order for me.  Thank you, you have saved me the time of getting it myself.  Still, for you to act as a messenger-boy... heh heh...
Leon:  You find that funny?
Arthur:  Well, not funny, but...  I was just thinking how very much you have acclimated to life in this town.
Leon:  ... Moretals are adaptable beings, after all.
Arthur:  Yes.  Let us leave it at that, then.
Leon: ...
Arthur:  Now then, about that text?
Leon:  I have finished the translation, but it appears it may have been pointless.
Arthur:  How so?
Leon:  Well, you see...  This was apparently a very well-known book  There are translations and even replicas of the oirginal readily available in today's markets.
Arthur: What is it called?
Leon: 'A Recipe for Ahppiness'.
Arthur:  Ahh.  Yes, I hae read that one myself.  I was not aware the original was so very old, though.
Leon:  yes, it must be from a time even before mine.
Arthur:  Oh?  And what tells you that?
Leon:  During my age, we used the same alphabet that is used in present day Selphioa.  So texts from my age would need no translation.  However, the writing in this book is a far older script.  So I expect it's a very, very old book.
Arthur:  I see.
Leon: Personally, this was the first time I've read it.  It was rather entertaining.
Arthur:  Ahh.  Well, I'm glad it was an enjoyable task for you.  You can have the book, if you'd like.
Leon: You don't mind?
Arthur:  better than gathering dust hidden in the back of some stuffy noble's library.
Leon:  True.
Arthur: now, here are your wages.
Leon: ...  Every time, I must wonder if it's really appropriate for me to get this much for so little work.
Arthur  Translating is not an easy task.  It is certainly worth that much.
Leon:  Translating, eh...?  That ancient script was still in use in a few places back in my day.  Some children may even have been able to read this book in its original form. 

Arthur:  But in this era, it is unreadable to all but a handful of people.
Leon:  So I hear.  Every time, I'm reminded anew. In this day, almost nothing from my time remains.
Arthur:  ...

After:

Leon:  Someday, the words and the script we write today may also fall into obscurity.
Arthur:  That is very possible, yes.  And it is equally possible that there are old languages being lost to time right this moment. 
Leon:  and my job is to bring them back to light?
Arthur:  Or to help us remember that they once existed.
Leon:  I see.  Being forgotten is a terrible fate for anything.
Arthur:  leon...

Kiel:  Oh, hi, Leon!
Leon:  Kiel.  Now that I think of it, your help saved me some effort on my latest job.   Thank you
Keil:  You're welcome.
Leon:  Oh, I know.  As thanks for your aid, let me give theis replica of the oriignal to you as a gift.
Kiel:  Oooh, really?
Leon:  it's just a replica.  It's of little worth to Arthur or myself anymore.
Kiel:  yay!  Wait, oh yeah!  I was going to ask you something.
Leon:  yes?
Kiel:  The original text this book was written in is from your home country, right?
Leon:  Yes,. I t's a very, very old script.  Even in my time, it was hardly ever used anymore.
Kiel;  Oh, so that's why.
Leon:  That's why, what?
Kiel:  'let us use each other's words to talk.'  I was thinking how that's a really weird, awkward sentence.
Leon: ...?
Kiel;  If it just meant listening to what the other person has to say before giving our opinion... Then wouldn't 'Let us hear each other's words' be a clearer, cleaner sentence?
Leon:  ... True.
Kiel:  So that got me hinking... maybe it's actually a declaration by the author. He's sayig 'I'm going to use your words to speak'.  So just like he declared, he's writing using other people's words.  Words that, in his age, hadn't been used in a long, long time.  And it was probably meant for some one who could understand those words.  You're sitting down and taking time to read and understand what's written...  So you should also take time to listen and understand what others are saying.  Doing that will help you really see where the other person is coming from.  At lreast, that's what I think the mwesage is.  It really seems to fit, though.  Its nice, too!
Leon: ...
Kiel:  I think the authro deliberately chose to use that old script to get his message across.  Hepicked that dying language on purpose. 

Leon:  Then...  This book may have been written in my era?
Kiel:  Maybe.  It'd depend on how long that old script sayed in use.  But I think it'd be great if it was.  And I bet the author would e happy, too...  That you found his book even in this age.
Leon: ...  I see.  Yes, thats not a bad thought.
Kiel:  Leon?
Leon:  I'm sorry, Kiel.  Do you mind if I keep this book after all?
JuekL  Huh?  Um, sure.  Why?
Leon:  I think...  I htink I may have heard what this book has to say.
Kiel:  Oh?
Leon:  Yes, it says 'do not forget me.'  No matter how painful it is to remember, we still existed.  We lived.  Please don't forget that.
Kiel: ...  Ah.  Yeah, that's way better!
Leon:  Yeah.  Thank you for helping me realise that.
Kiel:  You're welcome.

After:
Kiel:  Oh, I know!  Maybe if I learn how to translate old books like Leon does, I can be just as cool as he is@  I'll ask him to teach me some day.

Leon:  Hey, how's it going?
Freya:  Oh, Leon!  Not bad.
Leon:  By the way...
Freya:  yeah?
Leon:  You've been following me all day, haven't you?
Freya:  uh, well...
Lwon;  You just wanted to be with me, i'm sure.  You could have simply said so, though.  Here, would you like my arm as we walk?
Freya:  Wait, what?!

In the afternoon all the bachelors are in the plaza.

Dylas:  Wishes, eh?  I only have one.
Kiel:  Hey, have you all heard the legend behind today's festival?
Arthur:  If you wish upon he highest star in the sky, your wish will come true.  That's it... no?
Doug:  Yeah.  But there was something else to it, too.  I just can't remember what.
Vishnal:  Oh, I know!  If two people make a wish together, they will be bound for eternity.
Dylas:  Doug, stay far away from me when you make your wish.  About a million miles or so.
Doug:  Oh, yeah?  Well you stand a billion miles away from me!  You got it?!
Leon:  So if two men were to make a wish together, they would be friends forever?
Doug:  Eesh!  This festival is way more dangerous than I'd thought!
Kiel:  Well, I think it's romantic.

I threw a Rock at a SKy Fish and it became my pet named Hana!  It's a Sealy and I renamed it Murdoc.

He came into the square at 9.16 and I spoke to him.
Freya:  Leon.  Can I hear your answer?
Leon: ...  You are serious about this, yes?
My choices now:
Yes.
Juuuust kidding!
Freya:  Very serious.
Leon:  I ...see.  Then I'll have to give you an equally serious answer.
Freya:...
Leon:  I'm sorry, but I can't go out with you.
Freya:  Wha...?
Leon: ...
Freya: ... Oh.
Leon: ...  It's not that I hate you.  I could never hate you.
Freya:  Wha?
Leon:  Not after all you've taught me.  It was from you I learned what it means to truly care for some one.  And how those feelings just can't be denied.  To be honest, I never imagined what it'd really be like.
Freya:  Then...
Leon: ...  But I can't date you.  Because I can't marry you.
Freya;  Huh?
Leon:  I decided long ago that I'll never get married.  Thus, I cannot date any one.  That comes part and parcel with that decision.  Even if I changed that...  Even if I chose to go out with you, I could never truly be together with you.
Freya: (...)
Leon:  Do you understand now?  Give up on me.  Please.  Though I guess we could still be together as friends.  That doesn't involve marriage.
My choices now:

We don't need to marry!
... Okay, I'll give up.

We don't need to marry.
Leon: (!)  ... Are you all right with that?

My hcoices:
Completely.
Not at all.

Not at all.
Freya:  ... It may wind up being really difficult though.
Leon:  Yeah... it's only normal.  Well then, let's forget about what just happened.  as of ow, we go back to the way we were.  Will that do?
Freya:  ... Yes.
Leon:  Good.  see you later, then.

Do you understand now?  Give up on me  Please.  Though I guess we could still be together as friends.  That doesn't involve marriage.

We don't need to marry!
Okay, I'll give up.

We don't need to marry!
Leon: (!)  ... Are you all right with that/

Completely.
Not at all!

Completely.
Leon: ...  You know, you really are amusing.
Freya:  Huh?  EEP!  HEY!  Stop ruffling my hair!
Leon:  Oh, come on.  It's not a big deal.  After all, staring today, the two of us are lovers.
Freya:  Huh...?
Leon;  What, would you rather not?
Freya:  Of course I want to!  So, um... I-I'm really looking forward to it.
Leon:  As am I.  And... thank you.
Freya:  hm?
Leon:  Nothing.

We kiss.

Leon:  Now that I think about it...  What should I call you from now on?

If I chose: Completely!
He would say I was amusing and that from this day forth, we were lovers, ask what I wanted him to call me and what I wanted to call him... but he would go back to his own bed at the Inn, nonetheless.  I think I need the Double Bed in any case.


Leon:  Now that I think about it...  What should I call you from now on?
Freya:  Huh?
Leon:  Which do you like/
My choices:
Just like always is fine.
Love
You
Li'l Freya
My Lady
Princess Freya

Love
Leon:  All right.  Love... is that what you wish me to call you?
Freya;  Hm?  Weird.  It feels a lot like what you always call me.
Leon:  Ha ha!  But it's the name that you chose.  Love.  Anyway, I'm looking forward to it.  Now then, what will you call me?

My choices now:
Just like always is fine.
Darling
Leo
Mr. Leon
Leo-Leo
Sir Leon

Darling
Leon:  Interesting.  Well then, call me that from now on.  I'm looking forwad to this quite a bit.
Freya:  Why are you patting my head?
Leon:  Because you're adorable.
Freya: ...

His name is now in pink.
Leon:  Snow's kinda nice.  though I guess you can't have snow without bitter cold.  You holding up okay?
Freya:  I'm fine.
Leon:  The end of the year is coming.  I wonder who decided upon the length of a year.  I must admit, I find joy in the thought of crossing from one year to th enext.

Freya:  By the way...
Let's go on an adenture.
Let's go on a date.
I love you!
It's nothing.

I love you.
Leon:  I know.  I'm quite fond of you myself, actually.

Let's go on a date.
Freya: Um, Darling?  About tomorrow...
Leon:  What, are you asking me on a date?
Freya;  Huh?!  Well... um...
Leon:  Tomorrow, then?  Hmm...  Sorry tomorrow won't work for me.

His answer is random, because I tried three more times and finally he said:

Sure!  Where do you want to go?


Restaurant.
General Store
Where?

I choose REstaurant.
Leon:  All right, I guess I could spend some time with you.  Come to Selphia: Town Square at 10 hundred hours tomorrow.  Don't be late.
Freya:  I won't.
Leon:  Until tomorrow, then.

I go to Arthur's Office and Dylas is there with him.  They both still show red hearts when they see me.
Dylas:  (Arthur's got glasses on display here, too.  Glasses everywhere!)
Arthur:  That one's made from a light and soft material.  It's quite remarkable, as it's entirely sturdy, yet comforatable enough to be worn for days!  One of the most popular pairs of glasses around today, if you ask me.
Dylas:  ... Which I didn't.
Arthur:  Well, you were looking at it, though, no?
Dylas:  Er, I guess.  But I was just marveling at how ma-- 
Arthur:  This one over here...
Dylas:  All right, that's enough!

Leon later is in Kiel's room.
Leon:  You said Forte isn't good at housework, right?
Kiel:  Yeah, sh's ... not great.
Leon:  So you always step in and finish it yourself, then?  How about you don't do housework for a week?  That might be just the kick she needs!
Kiel:  ... No, I can't.  I mean, it's not like she doesn't like doing housework.  She just... CAN'T do it.  If I left the house in her care for a week, the cleanup afterward would be disastrous!

Leon:  ... I'm very sorry to hear that, Kiel.

Margaret:  You and your over get along really great, don't you, Freya?  He he!  Here comes the lovey-dovey couple now!

Margaret:  Have you gotten used to this town yet?  Do you still get lost?  Don't walk around late at night, okay?
Freya:  -I'm fine, don't worry.
Porcoline:  Come see me if you have any concernsa t all, you got it?
Freya:  Th-Thanks, I will.


1st Date:
10.00 a.m.
Leon:  Ah, Love.
Freya:  What?
Leon:  Sorry.  You looked more adorable than usual.
Freya:  Wha?
Leon:  Just kidding... Well, half-kidding.
Freya:  Darling!  Wait... half kidding?
Leon:  Pay it no mind.  Come on, then.  We're going.  We're headed to Porcoline's Kitchen.

When we enter, the event begins.
We are seated at a table across from one another.
Porco: Well, do enjy your meal!    This is my treat.  Break a leg... of lamb!
I display a tear as Porco lumbers off.
Leon:  All right, let's eat while it's hot, shall we?
Freya:  Sure.
Leon:  It's very good.
Freya:  Yes, it is.
Leon:  Though I think eating with you makes it especially delicious.
Freya:  Huh?
Leon:  Hey.  Say ahhhh.

My choices:

What?
A-aaahh!

If I say: What?
Leon:  My food not good enough for you?
Freya;  That's ... not what I meant.
Leon:  Then take it.  Here.
Freya:  Mmrrrnnnfff...?!  ...
Leon:  Was it good?
Freya:  ... Yes.
Leon:  You're not lying to me, are you?
Freya: ...
Leon:  My turn now.
Freya;  What?
Leon:  Hurry up.  Feed me.
Freya:  Huh?  Erm...

My choices now:
Errrmmm...
S-say ahhhh...

If I choose Ermmm
Leon:  Come on, now.
Freya:  Ugh... o-okay...
Leon:  ...IT'S HOT!!
Freya:  Oh, sorry!  Are you okay?!
Leon:  I'm not okay!
Freya:  Seriously?!
Leon:  One more time.  This time, you've got to cool it down first.
Freya:  Darling... seriously...?

Fade to black... we nfow stand by the table.
Leon:  Was it good?
Freya:  Um, yes.  Very.
Leon:  Did you have fun being with me?
Freya:  Huh?!  Well, uh...
Leon:  I had a lot of fun, myself.  So let's come back here again sometime.
Freya:  Um... sure.

Freya:  (N-now's my chance...)
)Now might be my best opportunity to strengthen our relationship)

My choices:
Get closer.
Quit.

Get closer.
Leon:  What's this?  ARe you so keen on feeling the armth of my body?

My choices:
You bet I am!
How about yuou, Darling?

You bet I am!
Leon: ...
Freya:  Huh?  What's wrong?
Leon:  Well...  I must admit, I'm at a loss.  I wasn't anticipating such a reaction from you.

Leon:  Shall we go home?  I'll walk you to your door.

My choices:
Are you sure?
I want to stay with you.
Are you sure?
Leon:  Of course.  That's only natural, right?  At evening's end, the gentleman walks the lady home.

Fade to black.
We are in the house now.  It is still morning.
Freya:  Thank you for seeing me home.
Leon:  You're very welcome.  Let's make sure we do this again sometime, though, okay?
Freya:  Until next time!

No option to ask on another date at this time.

Leon:  Hey.  Say ahhh.
I choose: A-aaahhh!
Leon:  I'm hearing you begging to be fed.  Simply begging!
Freya;  Then... MMMRRRFFF~
Leon:  Don't get mad.  You'll choke.
FReya:  MUNCH MUNCH
Leon:  Good job.  You made me proud.
Freya:  h-hey...
Leon:  My turn now.
Freya:  What...?
Leon:  Hurry up.  Feed me.
Freya:  Huh?  Erm...

I choose:  S-say ahhh.
Leon:  Still looks a little hot to me.  Come on.  Blow on it.
Freya: BLOW  Here you go.
Leon: ...
Freya;  How was it?
Leon: Outstanding.  One more bite.
Freya:  Really?///////1
fade to black, now standing by table.
Leon:  Was it good?
Freya: Um, yes.  Very...
Leon:  Did you have fun being with me?
Freya:  Huh?!  Well, uh...
Leon: I had a lot of fun myself.  So let's come back here again sometime.
Freya;  Um... sure.

Freya: (Now's my chance...)  (Now might be my best opportunity to strengthn our relationship.)

Get closer.
Leon:  What's this?  ARe you so keen on feeling the warmth of my body?

I choose:  How about you, Darling?
Leon:  Hmmmm...  If you would, please lend me your ear..
Freya:  Uh, okay...
Leon:  Just between you and me.
Freya:  Th-that's not exactly an answer to my question!
Leon:  Ha ha.  Perhaps not.

Then:
Displays big heart.
Leon:  Shall we go home?  I'll walk you to your door.
Are you sure?

Leon:  The weather is lovely today.  You want to go for a walk?
But no ability to take him up on the offer...
Freya:  That sounds great.  Let's plan to se out after I ge off work.

On 25 Winter, before I told him I loved him, his LP was at8 9/10 approximately.
On 27 Winter, before the date, ibut with the date set, he is no higher.
After the date, though, he is at 9 1/10 at least.

The responses you give DO make a difference.  If I were to say 'erm' and not accede to the whole feeding of him and him feedinng me, he would be JUST at 9 at the end.  Actually I think it's that business of telling him 'You bet I am!' because when I did the feeding thing but said that, it was only just scraping 9 at the end.

If I get to the Plaza at 11.00 a.m., he will say:  Ah, so you finally arrive.
Freya: I'm sorry I'm late. ...
Leon:  What are you doing?  Come along now.
Freya:  Huh?
Leon:  Thanks to you we've gotta make up for lost time.  Come on!

Freya:  Oh...
Leon:  Come on, then.  We're going.  We're headed to Porcoline's Restaurant.

At the end, just scraping 9.  Because of lateness, or because I gave one hesitant response to the feeding routine?

Going on time but being hestiant to do the feeding thing both times, even though I did the right thing in terms of the getting closer business put me at just 9 as well.  So you need ALL correct responses to get the maximum.

Arthur:  Ah, Freya.  I've been waiting for you.
Freya:  Arthur...
Arthur:  About yesterday..  I gave it some thought and have arrived at my answer.
Freya:  Then..
Arthur:  Okay.  Would you like to hear it?

My choices now:
Please!
Hang on!
On second thought...

Please!
Arthur:  Well then...  Freya...  I've realised that I'm very fond of you.
Freya: ...!
Arthur:  But please allow me to confirm one thing first.  I need to know what you truly feel for me.
Freya:  Wha?
Arthur:  You see, I have a hard time trusting others.  Actually, I made a choice not to.  You can see numbers and facts, but not a person's heart.
Freya: ...
Arthur:  However...  I find myself wanting to try it.  To trust in you.  So please...  Tell me one more time how you honestly feel for me.  Freya, do you truly love me?

My choices:
I do.
I truly love you.
I was just kidding.

I truly love you.
Arthur:  Freya...  Thank you.
Freya:  So you trust my answer?
Arthur:  ... Yes.  So now I would like you to trust in my feelings for you.
FReya:  Huh?
Arthur:  Freya.  Will you please date me?
Freya:  Oh...!

My choices:
Yes.
Of course!
Sorry.

Of course!
Arthur: ...
Freya;  Um, Arthur?
Arthur:  ...WHEW!  Thank goodness!
Freya:  Wha?
Arthur:  I was so nervous...  In fact, I believe I haven't been this nervous since my very first business deal.  I had no idea what I would do if this failed as miserably as that first deal did.
Freya:  Arthur...
Arthur:  But it didn't fail.  I am looking forward to our time together, Freya.
Freya:  Me, too.
He kisses me.

Arthur:  Erm... well, then.  Now what shall we do?
Freya;  Hmm?
Arthur:  In regards to our relationship, that is.
Freya:  Oh...
Arthur:  Erm...  I'm sorry. This is one thing in which I have no experience.
Freya:  Oh... right.
Arthur:  H-how about we give each other a new nickname?
Freya:  Huh?
Arthur:  I read about that in a study, once.  It said that lovers will often give their partners adorable nicknames.
Freya;  Oh...
Arthur:  Well then, what would you like for me to call you?

My choices here:
Just like always is fine.
Honey.
Freya.
My Lady
Princess Freya
Master

I chose 'Master' for the hell of it.
Arthur:  Erm.. Freya?
Freya:  Yes.
Arthur:  Are you sure about this?
Freya:  Yes.
Arthur:  I-I see.  This is kind of a first for me, so I'm not sure if I can pull it off, but...  Master.  How does that sound?  Now then, what would you like to call me?
Freya:  Wha?
Arthur: I  get a nickname, too, yes?
Freya:  Umm...

My choices:
Just like always is fine.
Darling
Arthur
Art
Mr. Arthur
Sir Arthur

Sir Arthur
Arthur:  Sir Arthur?!  Why on earth would you choose that?
Freya: You are a prince, you know.
Arthur:  Well yes, I am a prince of this kingdom, but...
Freya:  No.
Arthur: No?
Freya:  You are MY prince.
Arthur:  Urk...!  Master, that is hardly fair.
Freya:  Oh?
Arthur:  ...  All right.  Well then, i look forward to our time together, Master.
Freya:  Me too, Sir Arthur.

Now his name is in pink.
I can ask him on a date, but first:

I love you.
Arthur:  I am fond of you as well, Master.

Let me check my schedule... ... ... Ah yes, I have an opening.  I would love to join you.

My choices are:
Restaurant
General Store
Flower Shop
Where?

How about we go to Porcoline's Kitchen?
Arthur:  That sounds like a splendid idea.  Let's do that.  Selphia, Town Square at 10 hundred hours, then. Excellent.  I shall see you tomorrow.
Freya: Yeah.
Arthur:  he he.  tomorrow cannot come soon enough.
Freya:  Huh?

When I speak to Leon, his name still is highlighted in pink and I say:
Freya:  Good morning, Darling.

I wait by Leon's bed the next morning.

Freya:  Good morning, Darling.  Cold enough for you?
Leon:  I'm haunted by foxes, so this is perfect weather.  Completes the atmosphere, you know?  Thank you.  It's thanks to you that I can cross the threshhold of another year.  Ha ha, I know.  Not the type of thing for me to say, is it?  But anyway, may you have a happy new year.

Now, on 30 Winter, I can ask him on a date.

Freya:  Um, Darling?  About tomorrow...
Leon:  What, are you asking me on a date?
Freya:  Huh?!  Well, um...
Leon:  Tomorrow, then?  Hmm...  (...)  Sure!  Where do you want to go?

Restaurant
General Store
Flower Shop
Airship
Where?

If I choose 'Where?'
Leon:  Hmm.  How about Porcoline's Kitchen?
Freya:  Sure.
Leon:  Excellent.  Then that's where we'll go.  Come to Selphia: Town Square at 10 hundred hours tomorrow.  Don't be late.
Freya:  I won't.
Leon: Until tomorrow then.

At first disappointed that we were going to have the 2nd Date at the same place as the first, but now I am interested to see if it will be any different this time.

Waiting on the morning of New Year's Day for Leon to arrive, I speak to people.  All my elders give me money.  One assumes it is the traditional 'red envelope' of the New Year.

Leon:  Ah, so you're already here.  Could't bear to wait, huh?

My choices:
Nope.
Nah, I was fine.

Nope.
Leon:  I see.  I couldn't, either.
Freya:  Huh?
Leon: Come on then.  We're going.  We're headed to Porcoline's Kitchen.

I stop at my Craft Bench quickly to hammer out an Engagement Ring along the way, just in case...

Porcoline:  Well, do enjoy your meal!  This is my treat.  Break a leg... of lamb!
I display the usual tear.
Leon:  All right, let's eat while it's hot, shall we?
Freya:  Sure.
Leon:  It's very good.
Freya:  Yes, it is.  Though I think eating with you makes it especially delicious.
Freya:  Huh?
Leon: Hey.  Say ahhh.

The date progresses precisely in the same way as the first one.


At the end though, when we are standing by the table and I have my perfect opportunity:

My choices are:
Get closer.
Hold hands.
Pat on the head.
Quit.

Hold hands.

Leon:  Hmm...? 
Freya:  *GRAB*
Leon:  Hmm?
Freya;  ...
Leon:  What am I going to do with you?
Freya:  Ah...  (... He squeezed my hand tight!)
I display a big red heart.
Leon:  Shall we go home?  I'll walk you to your door.

Are you sure?
I want to stay with you.

He says the same thing as before.

At home now:
Freya:  Thank you for seeing me home.
Leon:  You're very welcome.  Let's make sure we do this again sometime, though, okay?  Until next time!

I hand him the Engagement Ring.

Leon: (!)  ... An Engagement Ring?  I'll pretend I never saw this.  It is not, after all, something I could accept right now.

I stash it away and speak to him as though my heart were not breaking...

Freya:  Darling!  Good morning!
Leon:  Wow, what a cheery greeting!  I thought a spring fairy had just addressed me!  Ha ha...  We're barely into the new year and you're already getting stuff stuck on your cheek.  Let me see...
Freya:  Thank yo--- AAPH!  Whaph are you doing?
Leon:  Happy New Year. I hope this year will be as good as the last.

His LP now is at 9 2/10.

I reload the game back to 27 Winter.  No Declaration to Arthur.

My Sword Flowers, although plied with Giantiser twice, fail to respond.  There still are four of them. 

To Kiel:  I love you.
I really love you.

Was I bothering you?
I was borthering you, wasn't I?

Kiel:  N-no.  It's not that at all!  I mean, I really like you!  And hanging out with you is loads of fun.
Freya:  Oh...
Kiel:  It's ... um...  Oh, how do I put this?  I, uh, haven't done any of this before, so I have no idea what to do next...  So, uh, I ... um... Oh, geez!
Freya;  Kiel?
Kiel:  Ah ha... sorry.  I'm just really really, really confused right now.  But I'll give you an answer, I promise!  I really want to give you the right answer...  So will you come to Selphia Town Square at 10 hundred hours tomorrow?
Freya:  Huh?
Kiel:  I'll give you an answer then, i promise.

My choices:
Okay.
That's fine.

Okay.

Kiel;  Good... Thanks, Freya.  I guess I'll see you tomorrow.

Kiel:  Ah, Freya!  Good!  You made it!  So, um...  Are you ready to hear my answe now?

My choices:

Yeah.
You bet.
I demand pleasantries.

Yeah.

Kiel:  Okay, um...  I've been thinking really hard since ysterday.  Thinking about you, and about us.
Freya: Oh?
Kiel:  Yeah.  That's when it hit me.  This didn't start just yesterday.  I've been feeling like this for a long time now.
Freya:  Like what...?
Kiel:  Every morning I'd wake up and wonder if I could see you, and what we could talk about.  Whenever I learned something neat, the first thing I wanted to do was tell you about it.  And if something reallu fun happned, I was wishing you were there too.
Freya: ...
Kiel:  I kind of surprised myself really.  I'd never realised just how much I liked you.  It's a lot.  A whole, whole lot.
Freya;  R-really...?
Kiel:  So, um...  Here's my answer, okay?  It's 'no'.
Freya:  WHAT!?
Kiel:  Huh?  What's wrong?
Freya:  But the way you were talking made it sound like... like...
Kiel:  Yeah?
Freya:  So were you really saying that--

My choices:
YOu don't like me?
You hate me?

You don't like me?

Kiel:  Nope.  I like you lots!
Freya:  Th-then why did you say no?
Kiel:  Well, because i was answering your question, of course!  You asked me if you bothered me.
Freya:  Wha...?
Kiel:  Then I told you I'd think about it and give you an answer today.  That answer is 'no'.  You don't bother me!
Freya:  Oh... I-I see.
Kiel:  Yep!
Freya:  I guess Kield didn't really get it after all...
Keil:  So I was thinking...  Would you go out with me?
Freya:  Huh?
Kiel:  Um... don't you want to?

My choices:
No, I'd love to!
Yeah, I'd rather not.

No, I'd love to!

Keil:  R-really?  Great!
Freya:  But, um... what made you ask all of a sudden?
Kiel:  Well, I did realise just how much I liked you, remember?  And I thought it'd be really aswsome if... y'know, we could be togethet for a long time.
Freya:  Really?
Kiel:  So, um, I'm really looking forward to spending all kinds of itme together with you now.
Freya:  Same here!

Displays a big red heart and kisses me.

Kiel:  Oh yeah!  Is there anything different you want me to call you now?
Freya:  huh?
Kiel:  Since we're together now, a cute nickname or something would be really neat, don't you think?
Freya:  Hmmm...'

My choices here:

Just like always is fine.
Honey
Sugar
Freya
My Lady
Princess

Honey

Kiel:  Ah!  That almost sounds bewitching!  I think it's perfect.
Freya:  R-really?  Great!
Kiel: (aloud)  (Honey!)  Honey.
Freya: ...
Kiel:  So what do you want to call me?

My choices:

Just like always is fine.
Darling.
Kiel
Mr. Kiel
L'il Kiel
Ki=ki

Darling.
Kiel:  Ah ha ha!  That's a really ticklish one!  But if that's what you want to call me, I'm okay with it.  So, uh...  ahem.  I'm looking forward to lots of great times together with you, Honey.
Freya:  me too, Darling.

His name is in pink now:

Kiel:  Hello!  Hope today goes great for us both!  This is the veggie I raised for it.  Isn't she cute?  (Winter Harvest Festival today)  C'mon, look closer.  Closer!
Freya:  Um... i tthink that's a little TOO close.

By the way...
I love you.
Kiel:  (I love you SO much!)  And I love you lots, too!

By the way...
Let's go on a date.

Freya:  Do you want to go hang out somewhere tomorrow?
Kiel:  Tomorrow?  Hmm, let me think... ...  Sure.  I should have some time!  Where do you want to go?

Restaurant
General Store
Flower Shop
Where?

Flower SHop
Freya:  want to go to Carnation's?
Kiel:  Sure!  Selphia Town Square at 10 hundred hours.  Got it!
Freya:  great.
Kiel:  See you there!  Heh heh!  I can't wait for tomorrow.

Blossom tells me:  It's as cloudy as my heart out there.

Kiel is REALLy early, but if I speak to him before 9., he will say:  We're getting together today at Slephia, Town Square at 10. hundred hours.  I can hardly wait!

At 9. though:
Kiel:  Honey!  You're here already.  Guess I'm a little early, huh?  I couldn't wait to see you.
Freya:  Really?
Kiel:  Yeah!  C'mon, let's go!  We're going to Carnation's today.

As soon as we enter, the event begins.  We walk together to the front display both displaying musical notes.
Kiel:  Mm, smells good in here!  Don't the flowers in this shop always look really healthy and lively?  I'll bet it's because Ellie takes really good care of them.  Look, Honey!  Isn't this flower gorgeous?
Freya:  Oh, wow, it is!  (I should buy him a flower while I'm here...)

My choices:
Buy a present 555G
Not... today.

Buy a present.

Kiel:  ...?!
Freya:  This is for you.  Y-you don't... dislike it, do you?
Kiel:  I-I love it!  You just surprised me a little.
Freya:  Why are you surpsired?
Kiel:  Well, you were thinking the same thing I was.  I just didnt expect that!  Here you go.  This is for you.
Freya:  ...!
Kiel:  See?  Kind of surprising when two minds think alike, huh?  Hee hee!  Funny how we both decided to buy eath other flowers!  Guess our hearts are just well attuned to one another!  And if so, that's really awesome!

Freya: (...)  N-Now's my chance...) (Now might be my best opportunity to strengthen our relationship.)
Get closer
Hold hands
Quit.

Hold hands.
Kiel:  ... Hey, Honey?
Freya:  Huh? Wh-what's up?
Kiel: What's wrong? Why were you so surprised?
Freya:  I-it's nothing!  never mind!  Did you... want to ask me something?
Kiel:  Well, it's more like... a request.  I, uh... I want to hold your hand.
Freya;  Huh...?
Kiel:  You mind?
Freya:  N-no.  I wanted to hold your hand, too.
Kiel:  Really?!  All right, then!  Heeeere weeeee gooo!  *SQUEEZE*  ... This kind of situation sure is nerve-wracking, huh?
Freya:  yeah, it is.
Displays big red heart.
Kiel:  Shall we go home now?

My choices:

Sure.
Awwww, do we have to?

Sure.
Kiel:  Come on.  I'll walk you back.
Freya:  You sure that's okay?
Kiel;  Of course!  After all, if I walk you back home, that means I get to stay with you a little longer!
Freya: ...
Kiel: Okay, let's go!

At home now:
Freya:  thanks for seeing me home safely.
Kiel:  My pleasure!  Let's do this again sometime soon!

He gave me Moon drop Flower because when I tried to talk to him, I gave it back to him by mistake.

Kiel:  Wow, Moondrop Flower for me?  Thanks!  I like sweets a lot!  I'll make a return gift for you sometime.

Winter Harvest Festival.

Went to Leon's room at 8.00 a.m. to ask him on a date.

Chose the Flower Shop.
Leon:  That's not a bad idea.  Come to Selphia: Town Square at 10 hundred hours tomorrow.  Don't be late.
Freya:  I won't.
Leon:  Until tomorrow then.

Appeal for Large Noel Grass:

Doug:  You know I'm the one who taught you how to grow it.
You sure did.

Vishnal:  Question for Princess:  Do you water your crops regularly?
Every day.
Vishnal:  Excellent answer!

Amber:  Hey, Freya?  What's the difference between your crop and one grown in the forest?

Mine's filled with love.

Love, huh?  How much?
Freya:  Huh?  Erm... A lot, I guess.
Amber:  Is ee.... That makes me really happy to hear.

Freya won with 382 votes

Dylas;  I have an idea.  How about we cook the winning veggies and make a feast for every one?  I'll whip up my best recipe.

Doug:  if we've gotta go through all these festivals, how about we have one for napping?
Arthur:  What would any one do in such a festival?
Doug:  Kick back, relax and nap, that's what!
Kiel;  That does sound relaxing, though pointless.
Vishnal: Clorica would win every year.
Kiel:  But as long as we're inventing festivals, I'd like a bath festival!
Doug:  What would you do in that/
Kiel:  See who could relax in the bath the longest!
ARthur: These hardly seem like proper festivals at all.
Dylas;  I'd happily take part in a Beat Doug Senseless Festival...
Doug:  That's run at the same time as the Beat Dylas Senseless Festival!
Leon:  How about a Love Festival?
Freya;  What?!
Doug:  What would that be about?
Leon:  Hmm, good question.  What would you like for it to be about?
Freya:  Um...

Need to ship my Legendary Scale.  Had no idea I had stashed it... can't recall where I caught it though...  People say the bridge to the right of town, or the winter fishing spot or the spring south of the Water Ruins

Leo at 9.20 arrives.  Ah, so you're already here.  Couldn't bear to wait, huh?

Nope.
Nah I was fine.

Nope.
Okay.  I see.  I couldn't either.
Freya:  huh?
Come on then.  We're going.  We're headed to Carnation's.

When we enter, the event begins.  We walk to the front display on the right, both displaying music.

Freya:  Hey, Darling!  Look!  Isn't it a beautiful flower?
Leon:  It is.  Seems it's been well cared for, too.
Freya;  So pretty and vibrant...
Leon:  Yeah.  But not as pretty and vibrant as you.
Frya:  Wha...?
Leon:  Good.  There are those red cheeks I love.
Freya;  C-come on!  Don't tease me like that!
Leon:  Haha.
Frey;  Ugh...
Leon:  It is beautiful though.  Not only the outward appearance, but also the bloom within.  ... And I, of curse, am referring both to the flower, and to you.
Freya:  What?!
Leon:  Haha.  Never mind.
Freya: ...?  Okay, then...  (Since we're here, maybe I should buy him a flower...)


My choices:  Buy a present 555G
Not... today.

Buy a present, of course.
cha-ching sound.
Leon:  You're giving this to me?
Freya:  Yes.
Leon:  I see... ...

Freya:  Um, you don't like it?
Leon:  Oh, I like it.  I just wanted to make you uncomfortable.
Freya: ...Hey!
Leon:  I'll put this on display in my room.  Thank you.  Oh yes, and here.  This is for you.
Freya:  This... flower is for me?
Leon:  Well, maybe.  I'm still trying to decide if it's appropriate.
Freya: ...
Leon:  Just kidding.  Of course it's appropriate.  It suits you perfectly.
Freya:  Th-thank you so much.
Leon:  You're welcome.
Freya: (...)  (N-now's my chance...)  (Now might be my best opportunity to strengthen our relationship.)

My choices:
Get closer.
Hold hands.
Quit

Hold hands
Leon:  Hmm...?
Freya:  *GRAB*
Leon:  Hmm?
Freya: ...
Leon:  (So helpless.)  What am I going to do with you?
Freya:  Ah...  (...He squeezed my hand tight!)
He shows a big read heart.
Leon:  Shall we go home?  I'll walk you to your door.

Are you sure?
I want to stay with you.

Are you sure?

Leon:  Of course.  That's only natural, right?  At evening's end, the gentlman walks the lady home.

Fade to black.

Now in my room:

Freya:  Thank you for seeing me home.
Leon: Your'e very welcome.    Let's make sure we do this again sometime, though, okay?  Until next time!

He gave me Pink Cat, Lv. 1

At 9 1/3 hearts now.

The flower is random.  Got a Moondrop another time.  'Get closer' leads to less AP than 'Hold hands' I believe.

Leon: Hey, Im looking for a particular grimoire.  Sonic Wind perhaps.  I want to decipher it.
Freya:  Is it for work?
Leon: Nah, just to kill time.
Freya: ...
Reward: Unborken Ivory Tusk

Thank you.  It's thanks to you that I can cross the threshhod of another year.  Yeah, I know.  It's not the sort of thing I usually say.  But anyway, may you have a happy new year.


New Year:

If I were to go on a third date to the General Store,

We both walk towards the centre counter.

Freya;  hey, Darling!  Check this out!  Isn't it cute?
Leon:  Hmm?  Which one?
Freya:  This one!  Right here!  Look!
Leon:  My naturral instrinct is to refute claims of cuteness made by girls.
Freya:  But I'm really, really sure that this is cute!  Honest!  ... Fine.  Be that way.  I'll just have to buy you something cute and MAKE you admit it!
Leon:  What?  You're going to buy me a present?  That's not what...
Freya:  I'm buying you somehting.  And you're going to like it.  End of discussion.
Leon: ...  Interesting.  All right... if I like it, I'll put it on display in my room.
Freya;  Okay, then!  (What should I buy for him...?)

Smile 300G
Drinking glasses: 5000G
Small Clock 20000G
Antique Painting: 9999999G
I just can't decide!

Small clock
Leon:  A clock?
Freya:  You seem like you could use a bit of ... structure.  And it's a cute clock, so I figured... why not?
Leon:  Trying to make sure I'm never late for any future dates with you, huh?
Freya:  What?  N-no, that's not it at all!
Leon:  I know.  I just wanted to get a rise out of you.
Freya:  Grrr...
Leon:  Mm.  You're cute when you're angry.  Very, very cute.
Freya:  Come on!  Don't be like that!
Leon:  Hahaha...  But a clock, huh...?  Every time I check the time from now on, I might just think about you  Not that that's a bad thing!
Freya;  Huh?
Leon:  I like it.  Thank you.
Freya:  Yay!  You're very welcome.
Freya:  (Now's my chance...)  (Now might be my best opportunity to strengthen our relationship.)

My choices:
Get closer.
Hold hands.
Pat on the head.
Quit.

Hold hands.
Leon:  Hmm...?
Freya:  *GRAB*
Leon:  Hmm?
Freya:  ...
Leon:  What am I going to do with you?
freya:  Ah...  (He squeezed my hand tight!)

Leon d9splays big red heart. 
Leon:  Shall we go home?  I'll wak you to your door.

New Year's Eve.

How was your yer, Freya?

If I choose:  Full of farming.
Clorica:  Ooh, it was, wasn't it?
Margaret:  Yeah.  Working the land suits you well.
Amber:  Yep!  You were always covered in dirt!
Clorica:  Dont you think that's neat too, Dolce?
Dolce:  It doesn't sound bad.
Pico:  Grr...!  Freya should just go and marry that field already.
Forte:  And I'll be counting on you again next year, FReya.

If I choose Full of adventures:

Forte:  sttrenghtening the mind and body through training is a good thing.
Xiao Pai:  Hmm?  Freya does seem meatier now, yes.
Margaret:  Really?  ... STAAARE

Xiao Pai:  See?  Here... and here...
Pico:  Milday is wonderful here and here, too!
Dolce:  Off.
Clorica:  Ooh, and look there!
Margaret:  I see!  I see!
Freya:  Um... can you all stop now?  Please?  This is embarrassing.

Full of love, I guess.
Margaret:  Oh my goodness!
Xiao Pai:  Wow.
Cloirca:  *SQUEE*
Forte:  Wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-what...?!
Amber:  Tee hee!  Every one looks like they're having lots of fun!
Pico:  Well, you can't have my Dolly!
Dolce:  Stop clinging!  I can barely hear what they're saying.


Late in the evening, 10.00 p.m. (22.00), the guys are in the Plaza doing the same thing.

Vishnal:  Here, every one.  Please help yourselves to a warm drink.
Kiel:  Ooh, thanks, Vishnal!
Leon:  That's thoughtful of you.
Dylas:  Careful, Doug.  It's hotl
Doug:  Thanks.
Dylas;  ... Wait, did I really just...??
Viosnhal:  Here you go, Princess.
Freya:  Thanks.
Doug:  ARthur, here.  Have some.  Hmm?  What're you doing?
Arthur:  I am re-confirming my schedule for next year.
Doug:  You're working?  Seriously?  C'mon!
Vishnal:  Goodness, that looks like a very full schedule.
Dylas:  It's a holiday.  YOu should take a break.
Kiel:  But y'know, I think it he tried to take a break, he might just collapse.
Dylas;  You might just be right, Kiel.
Leon:  Well, Arthur is quite the workaholic.
Doug:  man, it's New Year's Eve!  Can't you lay off the work for one day?  Vishnal's too nice to nag you about it, but he made some good stuff.  You oughta try it.
Dylas:  Who are you calling a nag?
Doug:  Huh?
Vishnal:  N-no, no!  It's all right, Arthur. I  wouldn't want to bother you.
Arthur:  *THUNK*
Vishnal:  Oh!
Doug:  Hmm?
Kiel:  Huh?
Arthur:  You have a point, Doug.  I htink I'll take today off.
Doug:  You will?
Kiel:  Oh my gosh!  ARthur's taking a break!
Dylas: ARe you sure you're not sick?
ARthur:  No, I'm not.  May I have a cup too, Vishnal?
Vishnal;  Of course!

From midnight to 1.00 I can hear fireworks and every one will wish happy new year, but no view of them.

Before Ellie gave me money, I had124488.  After, 126488, 2000G.

Volkanon in my room at 6.
Ahh Miss Freya.  Here.  A small New Year's allowance for you.  A very happy New Year to you.  I hope  this year will be just as marvelous as last year.
From 124488 to 131488G

144948  Bado:  Here.  Youor New Year's allowance.
Freya:  Thanks.
Bado:n You're welcome.  Gotta invest my capital in the right spots, y'know?
Freya;  Huh?
144951
Bado:  By the way, how about you use that money to buy something from me?  I recommend the most expensive thing you can find.
He gave me 10G!

Blossom:  here.  I have some new year's gift money for you.
Freya:  Oh, you don't have to!
Blossom:  But I want to.  Go on, take it.  Youngsters should be happy when their elders do nice things for them.
147951
Happy New Year, Freya.
Freya:  Happy New Year.
Blossom: (New Year's blessings!)  I hope this new year brings you even more prosperity than the last.

Nancy:  Happy New Year.  Here.  Your yearly allowance.
Thanks.139151 to 142151
Freya:  Thak you very much.
Nancy:  Though you know...  In your case, Freya, maybe a New Year's greeting card would be more appropriate.  But then again, it's the thought that counts.
Porcoline:  Freya.  May I see your hand?
Hmm?  Sure.
to 146800
Freya:  Yes?
Porcoline:  Happy New Marry Me Please?
Yes.
Not so fast.
Not so fast.
Porco:  Happy New GAAAAH!!

Lin Fa:  Good afternoon, Freya.
Freya: Hello.
Lin Fa:  Freya Happy New Year.
freya:  Happy New Year to you, too.  Here.  I have some New Year's gift money for you.
151800.
Don't be shy now!  I give some to Xiao Pai every year, too.

Sorry to have you see me when I'm just messing around
No worries.
Headed this way anyway.
No worries.
Leon:  Well actually, talking to you is the best way to kill time.
HuH/
This is a little token of my thanks.  Please take it.

Tamed a Buffamoo with a Boiled Egg after Hot Milk failed.  Having trouble with taming animals for the fifth barn.  Never had trouble before this and even tamed them by accident, such as throwing a stone at a monster and finding it tamed him.

I declaed myself to Kiel and saved it but did not ask him for a date.

Ellie tells me today:  My birthday is Day 23 of Spring.  Write it on your palm in permanent ink so you'll ever forget!

This is very bad news.  I go to Kiel's house because both Leon and Kiel are there and Leon asks me:

Hey, who do you like better, Kiel or me?
Freya:  What do you mean?
Leon:  What do I mean?  Just think of this as a kind of fortunetelling.  Firest name that comes to you!
Kiel:  This sounds fun!  So which of us is it going to be?
Freya;  Errrmmm...

My choices:
Kiel
Leon
Ooh, look, a bird!

Leon
Leon:  Me?
Kiel:  Ooh, a twist!
Leon:  Why me?
Freya;  You didn't want me to choose you?
Kiel:  Hmm... Something feels like it stirred deep within me. Probably just gas.

It does not appear to have affected LP at all.

If I choose:  Oooh, look, a bird!
Kiel  Oh, no, I'm not falling for that again.  You're just trying to change the subject!  Am I right?
Leon:  Very good, Kiel.  You are correct.  And I do so hate it when people won't play along with me.
Freya:  hate it all you want, I'm not choosing one of you two.

If I choose Kiel
Kiel:  Wow, yay!
Leon;  Good for you
Freya:  Why is it good?  What did this choice ACTUALLY mean?  Do I... even want to know?
Leon:  Be still, my wounded heart... Actually, I'm fine.  This meant absolutely nothing.

Leon's AP went DOWN!!!

Reloaded.

Proposed love to Dylas.
I really love you.
Dylas:  I need time to think.  Come to Selphia: Town Square at 10 hundred hours tomorrow.  I'll give you an answer then.  See ya.

Kiel asks in front of Leon as well:

What do couples do?
My choices:
HOld hands.
Poke each other.

Hold hands.
Kiel:  Like this?
Freya: Ah...!
Kiel: ...  We always do, but it's kind of embarrassing... isn't it?


When we hold hands, nothing happens to Leon's AP or to Kiel's AP.

But the only answer I can give to Leon's question is that I like him better if I don't want his affection to fall.

Margaret:  I really hate squids.
Freya:  Why?
Margaret:  Because... they're just gross.  Like... they're so slimy!  Ngh... I don't even want to think about them.

3 Spring:

At 9.40, I find Dylas outside the palace.

Freya:  Dylas.
Dylas:  Freya.
Freya:  Can I hear your answer?
Dylas:  I wanna ask you something first.  You know I'm a bad talker, right?

My choices:
I know.
What?!

I chose:  I know.
Dylas:  I'm not all that smart, either.  I  act before I think.

My choices:
I know.
What?!

This time, I chose:  What?!

Dylas:  Yeah, I do.  So, uh...  See, I, um...  ARGH!  Heck with it!  I'm only going to say this once, so listen up!  I... I... li...like you!

My choices:
I know.
What?!

I chose:  I know.

Dylas:  HUH?!  So I've got one queiton for you.  If you don't mind a dumbass like me, will you... go out with me?

My choices:

Yes.
No.

Yes.
Dylas:  (Really?)  You will?  Dammit.  This is hard on a guy's heart, y'know.  So, uh... I'lm looking forward to this, Freya.

We kiss, red heart displayed.

Dylas:  Oh, Freya, what do you want me to call you, now?
Freya:  Huh?
Dylas;  Should i call you what I always have?

My choioces:
Just like always is fine.
Honey
Young lady
Sis
Dear Freya
Princess Freya

Dear Freya

Dylas:  Dear Freya?  Not bad.  We'll use that.... Dear Freya.  So what do you want to call me?

Just like always is fine.
Darling
Dally
Mr. Dylas
Bro Dylas
Big D

Darling
Dylas:  What?!  Are you serious?!
Freya:  Yep!  Darling.
Dylas:  Urk!
Freya:  You don't like it?
Dylas:  Whatever.  Fine!  Whew...  Okay then, I'm looking forard to this, Dear Freya.
Freya:  Me too, Darling.

After, his name is highlighted in pink.

I speak to him.

Dylas:  S-so... I guess it's come to this.  But what should we talk about...?
Freya:  The usual, I guess.
Dylas;  The usual, huh?  Wait... why are YOU so calm?  This isn't fair...

If to the first question, I had answered:  What?!
Dylas:  Didn't you know?  Sheesh...

If I answer I know to the second:
Dylas:  So, uh...  See, I, um...  ARGH!  Heck with it!  I'm only going to say this once, so listen up!  I, l... li...like you!
If I answer:  What?!
Dylas:  I'm the one who wants YOU to go out with ME!  Got a problem with that?!  So I've got one question for you.  If you don't mind a dumbass like me, will you... go out with me/

Yesterday, when I spoke to Arthur, he spoke of Woolies and how he wasn't the sort of person to be able to touch them.

Now he says:  Woolies... They're just so cute that, once i touch them... I'm afraid I'ld never want to let them go.

Have to buy that Wooly suit!


I love you.
Oh, you're only kidding.  I thought as much.

(Dylas said the same.)

I really love you.

Arthur:  Freya...  May I please have some time to think this over/

Leon today asks:  Hey, what's your favourite thing in the world?

My choices:

Food.
It has to be you, Darling.


It has to be you, Darling.
Leon:  So... if I give myself to you, will you accept me?

My choices:

Huh?!  Erm...
With pleasure.

With pleasure.
Leon:  O-okay.

He didn't like that really.

Huh?!  Erm...
Leon:  Excellent.  Just the reaction I was hoping for!

Ah, it's you.  Would you join me for a while?

Aghast Scott:  Rumour has it that using a fish to strengthen your fishing pole will make that fish eaiser to catch.

Kiel:  Honey...  Hey, listen...  I...um... I love you..
Freya:  ...?!
Kiel:  Hee hee.

Blossom:  Has any one stolen your heart by any chance?

My choices:
...
Nope.  I'm still loveless.

...
Blossom:  You're so young!

Suddenly at 4.00 a.m. Leon tells me:  Here, you can have this.  It was a bit heavy on my arm!
It's Grilled Lamp Squid, one of his favourites.  I just caught my first Lamp Squid with him a few hours ago as well as my first SunSquid.

When I told him we should split up at 6.00 a.m he said:  I 'd hoped to entertain myself with you for a little while longer, but oh well.  See you.



Kiel:  Forte's been acting kind of strange these days.  She'll often have a sad look on her face after dinner.  ... I wonder why.

Leon: Feel free to ask me if you should ever want to go somewhere.  I'll take you anywhere you'd like.

When I enter the squre from my house, I experience the first event.

Freya:  ?)  Hi, Illuminata!  What are you doing?
Ellie:  Shhh!  I'm eavesdropping!
Freya;  What?!
Ellie:  There's some veeery suspicious chit-chat going on over there.  I sense an oncoming case!
freya:  I think the case is already happening.
Ellie:  Ah!  They're coming this way!  Hide!
Freya:  Gah!  Why me, too?
We race off together to the corner of the square.

Mysterious Lady enters with Porco:

ML:  Ha ha!  Really?
P:  Yes.  It's almost too much to handle.
Both show music.

Freya:  What's so suspicious about that? It just looks to me like Porcoline is having a nice chat wish some lady.

Ellie:  If I had to point at somethig, I'd say it's teir relationship that's suspicious.  Maybe that lady is Porcoline's girlfriend?
Freya:  What?!... And that isn't suspicious at all, either.
ML:  How is she doing, by the way?
P:  She's growing into a gentle, generous and genuine young lady.
ML:  That's good to hear.  And, er... this is difficult for me to ask, but... has THAT been overcome, yet?
P:  ... Do you ask that of me, or of her?
ML:  Of both of you.
P:  I'm afraid neither of us can give a happy answer to that one.
ML:  I see.  That's normal, I suppose. Please let her know that if she's no longer happy here, we'll come and get her.  She has spent much time around humans.  She could be a strong bridge between our people.  That is, of course. should both of you and she agree.

P: (...)  I apologise in advance, but I cannot hope she chooses that option.  It would be, in many ways, just running away.
ML:  Yes, it would, wouldn't it? 
P.  Anyway, how fare things in your fair land?
ML:  Much better.  The chaoes of that time has passed, thanks to the Sainte-Coquille family's aid.
P.  No, no, we didn't do much.  But i'm happy to hear that all is now well there.
ML:  Yes.  Now then, I' afraid I must be going.
P.  Allow me to escort you to the gate.
They leave together.
Freya:  waht was all that about?
Ellie:  Ah-ha... I see.
Freya:  See what?
Ellie:  Well that was dull.  Time to head home for tea.
Freya:  Huh?  Wait, illumiata!   What's going on?  You look like you got something out of that whole thing?  What is it/
ellie:  Oh, do you really want to know/

My choices:

Yweah.
No, not really

Yeah!
Ellie:  The lady talking with Porcoline was a messenger from the Elven Kingdom.
Freya:  The Elven Kingdom?
Ellie:  Yeah.  Their kingdom used to be ruled by a queen.  But that was only until a little while ago.
Freya:  So what's it like now?
Ellie:  Diffeent.  There's no queen anymore.  The throne is empty.
Freya;  Why's that?
Ellie:  Well, the old queen's sister raised a doozy of a question.  She asked every one if the elves as a nation were too reliant on having a queen.

Freya: Too reliant?
Ellie:  Yes.  See, becoming queen meant losing all freedom.  The queen is never alone, ever.  And all responsibility for any decision-making is on her alone.  The sister, watching what the queen went through day in and day out, questioned the whole system.  So the elves are currently trying to build a new kingdom that does not rely on any royal figure.
Freya:  So that's what happened.
Ellie;  Yeah.  And it sounds like it's going pretty well so far.  Trade with the human kingdoms is flourishing and the elves are growing properous.  That lady came by just to let Porcoline know that.  After all, the De Sainte Coquille family is presently the lynchpin of human-elf trade right now.
Freya:  The De Sainte-Coquille family? That's Porcoline's family, right?  Wow, they must be some pretty imp[ressive people.
Ellie:  Yeah.  They've been on good terms with the elves for years and years.
Freya:  Hmm.
Ellie:  Anyway, that's all they were talking about.  Now then, today's mystery has been solved, so I guess it's back to work for me.

Porcoline tells me that Meg suggested sweeping the restuarant lobby, then:
But where is the maestro of this magnificent effort, the lady Meg herself/  I haven't seen her.

Went to the restaurant.

Dylas:  Oh yeah, Meg said we were going to clean the restaurant today.  But I haven't seen her around.  Wait... don't tell me she's actually ... skipping out?!

Porco:  Is Iron edible/
F:  Definitely not.
P:  Really?
F: Really.
P:  Even by moi?
F: Probably not.
P:  Even if I put everything I have into eating it?
Freya: (Good boys and girls, please do not attempt this.  On no level is it a good idea to imitate Porco.)


I tamed a Mimic near Sercerzeno Hill using a Roundoff and then I RODE it about!

Leon is upstairs in Doug's room at 7.00 p.m.

Leon:  YOu work hard at the general store, right?
Doug:  And?!
Leon:  Well, you always say you don't want to do any work.  Why not be proud of your daily acocplishments?  Hard work is nothing to be embarrassed about!
Doug:  Screw that!  I'm totally gonna skip work tomorro, you'll see.  I am the King of slackers!


Leon:  Feel free to ask me if you should ever want to go somewhere.  I'll tak you anywhere you'd like.


I had 4 Sword Plants growing in one square.  I used Greenifier and Giantiser but they did not grow into a single plant, only raised to Level 3.  I harvested two of them and one droppe a bag of Level 4 Seeds, but the two plants had very different stats, even though planted and harvested at the same time.

One was:
Lv. 3: ATK 438, MGK ATK 5, Diz 6

The other was:
Lv. 3 ATK 55, DEF -6, M. ATK -6, DEF -6, STR -6, VIT -6, Diz +35, Stun 10%

Harvest another and have
Lv. 3, ATK 61 DEF -1, DIz 35, Stun 10%

And the fourth:
Lv. 3 ATK 199 DEF 15, M ATK 5, Diz 6

It is totally random.  Reloaded and harvested the other two again.  This time:

Lv. 3: Fire ATK +472, M ATK 36, Diz 35 Stun 10% for one
and for the other

Lv. 3, Wind M ATK 42, STR 3, VIT 3, Dis 15

Leon:  The Cooking Contest is tomorrow.  Are you good at cooking?

My choices:

I'm a master chef.

I once killed a man.

If I choose; I once killed a man.
Leon:  I see.  That can create some unexpectedly disastrous scearios.  I'll allow it.

If I choose:  I'm a master chef.
Leon:  I see.  Then I'll look forward to it.

Meg is in her house, of course...
Did not figure that out until late afternoon.

Margaret:  Ah!
Freya:  margaret?
Meg;  O-oh, sorry!  I was kinda lost on memory lane for a minute, there.
Frey;  Are you okay?
eg:  Yes.
Freya: (...)
Meg:  Oh, no!  I completely forgot we were going to clean the restaurant today!  I missed it!  Ha ha.  Oh, great.  Porco's going to be so made at me.  What can I do to make it up to him?
She rushes about the room for a moment, and then rushes out the door.

The town Event is over now!

Confess your love to Porcoline.
Reward: ???

Leon:  Well then, what sorts of dishes will every one present today?  I can't wait to see both the grand dishes and the grand failures.

I won the Cooking Contest with Cake worth 528 points.

Doug:  Man, i'm no good at cooking at all!
Vishnal:  I am not particularly good at it either.
Arthur:  Any skill will get better with practice.
Kiel;  Yeah.  If you think about the people you're cooking for, you'll get it right in no time!
Dylas:  So... do you think that someday even I'll be able to cook like Porcoline?
Kiel;  Sure!  I know you will!
Doug:  So you wanna get all fat... then?!
Dylas:  You shut up!
Vishnal;  i'd love to try Kiel's cooking one day.
Leon:  As would I.
Kiel:  Well, stop on by sometime.  I don't mind.  Do you have any specific requests?

Doug:  Anything with rice!

Dylas:  No.  Something with carrots.
Arthur:  Well, since you asked, I would like...
Vishnal:  I would not be averse to...
Doug:  Oh, and besies that, could you make some...
Kiel:  Um, okay.  So I guess I'll start with a rice base, add some of this and that, then maybe...  Y'know, since every one is coming, I should just ask my sister to help out!
Leon:  Maybe you shouldn't.

Arthur: Women love sweets, don't they/

my choices:

Yes.
Not necessarily
I love you.

If I choose:  Yes
Arthur:  I see.  That's good to know.
Freya: ...?
Arthur:  I'll see you later, then.
Freya:  Uh, okay...

If I choose:  Not necessarily.
Arthur:  Oh, is that so...?
Freya:  Are you trying to buy a present?
Arthur:  What?  Well, erm...  Uh, I'm sorry, I have to go now...
Freya:  Sir Arthur?  What was that all about...?

If I choose: I love you.
Arthur:  Huh?  Uh, yes, well...  Th-thank you very much.
Freya:  What about you, Sir Arthur?
Arthur:  Me...?  ... Of course I love you too.  From the bottom of my heart.

AP is 0 up to the 1 in the 100

Leon:  Hey, Love.  Look me in the eyes.
Freya;  O-okay.  Why, is ther soething on my face?
Leon:   ust wanted to see you... clearly, and deeply.
Freya:  Uh...

Kiel:  I finally asked Forte... why she's been upset these  lately.  And you know what she said?  'It's sad to think you'll be cooking for Honey!'  She's being such a drama queen!  It's not like I'll ever cook for her again, you know...
Freya:  You seem to be in good spirits, Darling.

He gave me a Blue Gint's Glove as a thank you for Dumplings.  NEver even SEEN a Blue Giant yet, let alone a Glove!

Doug:  I'm actually a dwarf you know, not a human being.  Have I ever told you that before?

I said yes.

Doug:  MUst have forgotten.  Well, dwarves are supposed to be good at forging but I'm ... not.

To Dylas:
Freya:  You don't smile much, do you, Darling?
Dylas:  There's nothing to smile about.

My choices:
Aren't I  fun to be with?
SMILE, DAMMIT!

Aren't I fun to be with?
Dylas:  What?
Freya:  Is it boring... being with me?
Dylas:  N-not at all!  Sorry... I'm just bad at expressing my feelings.  But... thanks to you, life's been a lot more fun every day.  More fun than I ever remember it being.  So... don't look at me like that...
Freya:  hee hee.  I knew that all along.
Dylas:  WHAT?!  H-hey!  You tricked me... didn't you?  You tricked me into saying something sentimental!
Freya:  Whoa!  Stop it!

Xiao Pai:  I'm thinking about making some Milk Porridge for Mama's birthday.  I'm sure I can make it, now! ... Well, mostly sure.

My choices:
'Now'?
Good luck!

Now?
Yeah.  Ten years ago, the milk somehow turned black.

I come down the steps from the Plaza towards the Grocery a little before 9.00 a.m. to experience an Event with Kiel.

He is standing in the little cul de sac at the end.

Kiel:  Oh, hi, Honey!
Freya:  Darling.  What's up?
Kiel:  Hey, I've got a question I want to ask.  What's your favourite colour?
Frey;  Hmm?  Why do you ask?
Kiel:  This!  See?  It's called 'Colourful Fotunes: You & I.'  It says you can tell how well you get along with some one by asking their favourite colour.
Freya:  Hmm.
Kiel;  So, what's yours?
My choices:

Hmm.  Red, I guess.
Definitely blue.
Yellow is cool.
Raaainboooq!

I chose Blue.

Kiel:  Ooh, that makes sense.  The whole 'cool beauty' thing, right?
Freya:  So how well are we supposed to get along?
Kiel:  Lessee...  ...  *SLAM*
Freya:  Hmm?  Why'd you close the book?
Kiel:  Well...  It said we probably won't get along well.
Freya:  Oh, that's too bad.  But it's just a silly fortune-telling game, in the end.  We shouldn't take it too seriously.
Kiel:  Hmph.  Still... it would stink if some one decided not to like me because of this.  Especially if that some one was you, Honey.  ... It's funny.  Whenever I think of you, I get this really wierd feeling in my chest.  I wonder what it is?
Freya: ...

My choices:
That's weird.
That's love.

That's love.
Kiel: ...  Oh, maybe... ... ... ... N-no, it isn't!  Well, okay, so maybe it is kinda sorta that, but it isn't!  If... It's ... argh!!!  Stupid Honey!!
Freya:  He ran away...

Reloaded:

Hmm, red I guess.
Kiel:  Ah, passionate red, eh?
Freya:  So how well are we supposed to get along?
Kiel:  Lessee... ... *SLAM*
Freya:  Hmm?  Why'd you close the book?
Kiel:  Well...

Now I chose:
That's weird.
Kiel:  Yeah...
Freya:  Uh, sorry.  I didn't actually mean that.  What I meant is, maybe it's love?
Kiel:  Oh, maybe... ...  ... N-No, it isn't!  Well, okay, so maybe it is kinda sorta that, but it isn't.

Same result... runs away.

At the eod of this, he is almost at 10.

Now I choose: Raiinbooow!
Kiel:  Um... I don't know if that counts as a colour...
Freya:  Yeah, I was just joking.
Kiel:  Oh!  But the book does have it.  No way! 
Freya;  So how well are we supposed to get along?
Kiel:  Lessee... ... *SLAM*


Now I finally try:
Yellow is cool.
Kiel:  Ah ha!  Yeah, that's a really bright, fun colour, isn't it?
Freya:  So how well are we supposed to get along?
Kiel:  Lessee...  (SLAM(

Lin Fa for Milk Porridge:  Oh my... Milk Porridge!  What a wonderful birthday present!  Thank you.

Leon:  Mmm... Now I'm in trouble.
Freya:  What's wrong?
Leon:  You're too cute.  That's what.
Frey: Ugh.
Leon:  There.  That face!  Right there!

Arthur:  Master, I bought this at a town I stopped in during a business trip.
He holds it up for me to inspect.
Freya:  Cake...!
Arthur:  Yes.  Since you said you love sweets...  Will you accept it?
Frey;  ... Yes.  Thank you very much.

Doug:  Has the charm I gave you been useful at all?

My choices;
Yes.
N.
Charm?

Yes.
(Even though I shipped it away instantly.)
Doug:  Ho ho!  Oh, really?  I'm glad I gave it to you, then.

Fote:  Please let me know if you have any concerns.  It's among our responsibilities to solve such problems.
Frey:  I htkk Darling has a question about love...
Forte:  ... Huh?


13 Summer:  It's very difficult to go through all the dungeons in Rune Prana, tand the fields and keep relationships healthy.

A little dialogue between Kiel and Vishnal today:

Kiel:  How do you get over eating foods you don't like/
Vishnal:  That's a hard question.  Sometimes it's not just the taste but the look of a certain food that turns you away from it.  You could try something like... grating it until it's no longer recognisable.  And then after you eat it, you'll realise it was never a problem to begin with!
Kiel:  Hmm... but that wouldn't actually be overcoming anything, would it?
Vishnal:  Hmm?
Kiel:  Well, if you're not even aware something is there, then you're not facing your problem.  That's fighting a battle you didn't even know you were in.  It just doesn't feel... honest.
Vishnal:  T-true...
Kiel:  Hmm.  It's a tricky proposition!
Vishnal:  it really is...

Vishnal:  Once I learn how to cook, I'll get to eat my favourite dishes anytime I want, right?

My choices:
You bet!
Nope.
The world may never know.

Being a kind person:  You bet!
Vishnal:  Motivation, thy name is snackery!  I sure hope I get better at this soon!

I was racing about town with Forte and Leon in tow when I encountered Arthur.  I gave him a Chinese Manju as usual and he then said:

'What do you think of my clothes?  I'm dressed like a traveler so that I can easily blend in.

Leon then piped up with:

Leon:  I guess the definition of blending in changed while I was sleeping.

Arthur:  Hmm?  Did I say something strange?

With the Miracle Axe, I finally can break the Rosk on Selphia Plain but I have to talk to it first and choose to 'Break It'.  Bashing away at it even when I have charged the Axe, will not avail.


Dylas today:  This town has a great airship... Although I don't care much for the figurehead.

Not getting any Rune Prana items yet in the Market although I shipped them.  Octopirate gives Ammonite randomly.  The two Guardians give the Left and Right Shards and the Sarcophagus can give Crystal Skull.  The Crystal Mammoth rarely gives his Icy Nose and the Lizard in the building itself can give Electrocrystal but it was a long time coming...

I obtained my first Quality Worn Cloth a few days ago somewhere in Rune Prana... only today found another.  It is a War Trophy dropped randomly by the large blue Onion Ghost in the first section of the dungeon.  Go up and then left to find the creature.  It usually drops Onions or Onion Seeds but once in a blue moon (haha!) will drop the precious cloth.

You can obtain Rusty Screws there as well behind the block.  If you have a companion, he/she will alert you to the appearance of one.  Otherwise, simply search each time you enter the chamber.  The Onion Monster reloads very slowly from the gate so it can be quicker to exit and re-enter.

18 Summer:

A couple of days ago, I became embroiled in a new Town Event involving Bado and Vishnal.  It began when Vishnal complained about his lack of cleaning skills.  I did not realise it but when I went to Bado's shop and he tried to sell me a 'Skills' Statue, that was the second part of the Event.  Now this morning, in Vishnal's chamber:

Vishnal:  Princess, look!
Freya:  That statue...!
Vishnal:  Isn't it magnificent?
Freya:  Wh-where did you get that?
Vishnal:  Bado recommended it to me!  You won't believe it, but this statue has a special power!  All you have to do is own it to become a skilled person!
Freya:  But he told me he wouldn't sell it...
Vishnal:  Isn't Bado such a great person? He went and found this statue just for me!
Freya:  Vishnal...  This is very hard for me to say, but...  You've been tricked.
Vishnal:  What?  Really?!
Freya:  Yeah.  Bado tried to offload that statue onto me, too.
Vishnal;  I... I can't believe it...!  I'm going to go ask Bado if it's true!

Kiel:  The Firefly Festival is tomorrow.   I hope we get to see a whole lot of pretty fireflies.  Oh!  Honey... by the way...  Would you like to go watch them with me?

My choices:  Yes.
I'm sorry.

If I say Yes.
Kiel:  Yay!  I can't wait for tomorrow!  Selphia: Town Square at 19 hundred hours.  Got it!
Freya:  Great!
Kiel:  See you there!  Heh heh!  I can't wait for tomorrow!

I really could use one of those Speed Rings from HMDS to make the time go faster... will have to do this over and over, hanging about the Square all day to experience each event with each bachelor.

At 18.41 Kiel saunters back into the Square.

Kiel:  Oh, right, Honey?  Um, I don't think it counts as a date if there are more than two of us.

I had to get rid of Leon and Forte, then speak to him again.

Kiel:  Honey!  You're here already!  Guess I'm a little early, huh?  I couldn't wait to see you!
Freya:  Really?
Kiel:  Yeah!  C'mon, let's go!  We're going to Selphia: Dragon Lake today.

I have to race there, but as soon as I enter the screen, I lose control and the event begins.

We stand at the shore of the lake.
Kiel:  Fireflies, huh?  My mom told me about this a long time ago.  When I was a baby, we went together to see the fireflies as a family.
Freya:  You did?
Kiel:  Yeah.  But I don't remember it at all.  I always thought she was making it up.  But she swore it actually happened!  I told my mom how unfair it was that I wouldn't remember, and you know what she said to me?
Freya:  ... Oh, am I supposed to guess?  Uhh...
My choices:

Sorry, son.
Let's go again sometime!
I really don't know.

I chose, 'Let's go again sometime!'

Kiel:  Yep.  That's exactly right!
Freya:  Really?
Kiel:  She said that the past is past, and there's nothing she can do to bring it back.  But that's a good thing!
Freya:  Is it?
Kiel:  Yeah.  Because I said it was unfair.  Which means that on some level, I knew how special a memory it was.  And if I continued to think of it as something special, I'd try to recreate it one day.  I guess she felt... it was good to know how much I cared about it, even if I didn't remember.  She smiled at me... and she said she hoped I'd take my own child one day.
Freya:  ... That sounds lovely.
Kiel:  Maybe what I really wanted at that time is this feeling I have now.
Freya:  What do you mean?
Kiel:  Hahaha... Never mind!
Freya:  ...?

Now with Freya: (...)

(N-now's my chance...)  (Now might be my best opportunity to strengthen our relationship.)
My choices are the usual date choices:
Get closer.
Hold hands.
Pat on the head.
Quit.

I chose: Hold hands.
Kiel:  ... Hey, HOney?
Freya:  Huh?  Wh-what's up?
Kiel:  What's wrong?  Why were you so surprised?
Freya:  I-it's nothing.  Never mind!  Did you... want to ask me something?
Kiel:  Well, it's more like... a request.  I, uh... I want to hold your hand.
Freya:  Huh...?
KIel:  ... You mind?
Freya:  N-no.  I wanted to hold your hand, too.
Kiel:  Really?! All right, then!  Heeere weeee goooo!  *SQUEEZE*  This kind of situation sure is nerve-wracking, huh?
Freya:  Yeah, it is.
He displays a big pink heart then:

Kiel:  Shall we go home now?

My choices:
Yes.
Aww, do we have to?

I chose:  Aww, do we have to?
Kiel:  Hee hee.  Actually, I'd been thinking something just like that.  So how about this?  Let's stay together just a liiiittle bit longer right now!  Sound good?

You now are in a party with him and can do the usual, including 'Talk'

Kiel:  That was lots of fun.  Did you have fun too, Honey?
My choices:
Yeah.
It was okay.
I was bored.

Yeah.
Kiel:  Let's go together again next year!

Time is passing.  We can go to fight monsters, or I can say goodbye to him at any point.

I reloaded without looking at his LP.

Before the Festival, Vishnal would have taken my love confession seriously but Doug would not.

Vishnal 9 1/2
Kiel: 11 1/2
Dylas 10 1/2
Arthur: 11 1/8
Doug: 8 1/3
Leon 12 1/3

Oddly, Barrett is at 20 and Raven at 23!  How far does it go???



Arthur:  It seems tomorrow is the Firefly Festival.  Both Porcoline and Margaret have told me all about it.  They also suggested it might be a nice change to relax and watch fireflies.  Would you care to join me?
Freya:  Huh?
Arthur:  Ah, my apologies.  That was rather sudden, wasn't it?  Would you care to join me in watching the fireflies tomorrow?

My choices are: Yes or I'm sorry.
Yes.
Arthur:  Thank you!  Well, then, I better finish up my work before then.  I hope you're looking forward to tomorrow as much as I am.  Selphia: Town Square at 19 hundred hours then.  Excellent.  I shall see you tomorrow.
Freya:  Yea!
Arthur:  Heh heh. Tomorrow cannot come soon enough!
Freya:  Huh?

Incidentally, once I accept Arthur's Invitaiton, as with any date, I no longer can confess my love to any one else until the business ends.  So Vishnal will have to wait.

I hop into bed to get to the next day... the next morning, much of my field is filled with dead crops and dead trees.  Unfortunate but I won't save it!

At 18.42, ARthur enters the Square and tells me:  Master.  Dates are meant for two, not more.

So once more, I have to get rid of Leon and Forte.

I tell Leon we have to 'split up' and he says:  (Farewell)  I 'd hoped to entertain myself with you or a little while longer, but oh well.  See you...

Then:
Freya:  Sir Arthur.
Arthur:  Ah, Master.  My apologies.  I hope I didnt make you wait long.

My choices:
Yes, you did.
No, you didn't.

Being a kind woman:  No, you didn't.

Arthur:  Oh good.  Well then, shall we be off?  We're going to Selphia, Dragon Like, right?
Freya:  Right.

God, my responses are so uninspired!

Somehow, I take the wrong path and he trails behind me as I go up and down stairways randomly...

Then we are standing on the shore together.

Arthur:  Look at the fireflies!  How positively stunning...

My choices now:

Yeah, they are.
They're really beautiful.
Sooo cuuuute!

Theyr'e really beautiful!

Arthur:  You are beautiful, but the word I'd use most readily for you is cute... You are.. the cutest...

Well, I should have known.  That's what he says about his endless glasses fetish.... that they are so cute!

Freya (sighing rather impatiently)  Huh...?  What are you saying?!

Arthur:  Hee hee.  My apologies.  I simply wished to... flirt a bit.
Freya:  ... Com on...
Arthur:  I speak the truth, though!
Freya:  Huh...?
Arthur:  I was thinking about this just recently.  I love... that you're with me.  Master...
Freya:  Uh, mm.
Arthur:  Thank you.  May we continue to have a lovely, lengthy relationship henceforth.

MY choices now:
Okay.
Yes, forevermore!
I'm not so sure.

I decided to lie a little.
Yes, forevermore!

Arthur:  Hahaha.  Thank you.

Now I have the date choices as with Kiel:

I chose to hold hands.
Freya:  (Okay.  I can do this.  I'm going to take his hand in mine.)  *GRIP* ...
Arthur:  What's wrong?
Freya:  Ah, umm...  (Doesn't even seem like he noticed...*SQUEEZE*
Ah...!  (He squeezed back!)
Arthur:  You started it!  So I won't let go, even if you ask.
Freya: ...
Big red heart display from Arthur, then:
Arthur:  Let's go home, shall we?  I'll walk you.

My choices:
YOu would do that for me?
I want to stay with you.

Chose the latter.
Arthur:  O-okay.  If you wish it, then I will stay here with you a bit longer.

When I choose the ''talk' option now:

Arthur:  Do yiu have any dairy products or items from monsters, perchance?

How very romantic!!!

Arthur:  Milk, egg, honey... anything, as long as it's edible.  If you do, I'd be most appreciative for any you could spare.
Request:  Monster Item (Edible)
REward: Chimera's Claw.

 When I talk to him again, he has shaped up a bit.
Arthur:  Thank you, Master.  Let's go watch the fireflies together again next year.

Arthur is at 11 1/3 now.

Reloaded.

Dylas tells me that a typhoon is getting closer, useful information.. then:

Dylas:  The Firefly Festival is tomorrow.  Hmph.  What's so fun about watching a bunch of bugs?  ... Hey.
Freya:  Yeah?
Dylas:  Are you gonna go watch the fireflies with some one?  I mean... watching them alone has gotta be dull.  You could, uh, watch them with me.

My choices:
Yes or I'm sorry.

Dylas:  Cool.  This festival might not be so bad after all. ... AH!  Not that I'm looking forward to it or anything!  Hmph!
Freya:  Um, I didn't say anything.
Dylas:  Let's meet up at Selphia: Town Square at 19 hundred hours.
Freya:  Sure.
Dylas: Don't be late.

Meanwhile, if I speak to Vishnal, the Town Event continues with:
Vishnal:  There's no way he would sell false merchandise to customers!  He's better than that!

After Dylas, there is only Leon for this festival as I didn't ever get to confess to Vishnal.

Blossom:  Did you have a chance to ask some one on a date for the festival?  I'm sorry, dear, but I don't have the time this year.

Well, I didn't ASK her, did I???

Dylas is loitering on the outskirts at 18.00 and begins to move slowly towards the square, arriving at 18.33.

Dylas:  Uh, Dear Freya?  Why do you have some one with you?

I get rid of Forte and Leon, then:

Dylas:  I guess I got here a little early.
Freya:  We both did.
Dylas:  C'mon, let's go.  We're headed for Selphia: Dragon Lake!

At the shore together now:

Dylas:  Whoa, check it out!
Freya:  Wooow, Fireflies!
Dylas;  Never thought I'd see something like this today!
Freya:  Ooh, look!  There are tons of them over there, too!
Dylas: ...
Freya:  What's wrong?  You seem spacey again.
Dylas;  Um, nothing.  DOn't worry.  I just thought...
Freya: ...?
Dylas:  ... It just occurred to me how happy I am to be here with you.
Freya:  What's that/  I didn't quite catch it.
Dylas;  Ugh, never mind.
Now I have the date options...

Hold hands.
Dylas: ...!
Freya: ...  You... don't like it...?
Dylas:  ... Idiot.  How could i not?!
Freya:  Whew!  Glad to hear it.
Dylas:  I don't want to ever let you go.
Displays big red heart.

Dylas:  Wanna go home?  I'll walk you.

My choices:
You would do that for me?
I'd prefer to stay here.

I chose the latter.

Dylas:  Y-you would?  Okay... Let's stick around a little longer, then.

When I choose the option to 'talk'

Dylas:  So this is what it's like to have fun with some one.  I've had some wonderful memories today.

At 10 3/4 aftet this.

After that dialogue with Vishnal, I have to find him next at Bado's shop to continue the event.

I did confess to him again to see what would happen on the day of the Firefly Festival if I met him after the confession in the square.  So here I am, waiting for 10.00 a.m.  There was no option to watch the fireflies wiith him although he mentioned the festival.  My only options were to go on an adventure or confess my love.

Time moves slowly. Volkanon is in the square, making some horrific noises.  Almost sounds as though he is roaring.  Leon tells me helpfully that it is almost 9.  He appears to have that time on the brain.

Vishnal is here at 9.30.

Vishnal:  Princess...?  If you have a moment, could we please speak in private?

I have to rid myself of Leon and Forte.

Freya:  Vishnal?
Vishnal:  Princess.
Freya:  Let me hear your answer.
Vishnal:  i have something I would like ti ask you first.  To be blunt, I... I'm just a rank amateur, you know.

My choices both cruel:
Yeah, I know.
Yep, yu sure are!

Yeah, I know.
Vishnal:  I'm too loud, I mess up a lot and get yelled at constantly.  I'm clumsy.  A-and I break dishes all the time!

You sure do!
So what?

So what?
Vishnal: ...  So, erm... I... uh...  i'm not good at anything at all, even for a novice.  But, I...  I love you, Princess!

My choices:
Oh, I'm well aware!
You do?!

You do?!
Vishnal:  Yes!  So please allow me to ask you but one question...  Will you og out with me?

I would love to!
Hahaha, no.

Vishnal:  I'm very serious about this, you know.

Freya:  I'd be upset if you WREN'T serious about it.
Vishnal:  YESSSS!  Thank you, Princess!!  Thank you so much!

He displays a big red heart, then embraces me.

Vishnal:  Oh, I know!  Since we are together now, why don't we think of special names to call each other?  What should you like for me to call you?

The same as always is okay.
Honey
Freya
Master
L'il Freya
Princess

Princess
Vishnal:  Princess?
Freya: Yes.  It has a lovely ring to it, don't you agree?
Vishnal:  Yes, Princess.  It is as you say, my lady.  Well then, what shall you call me?

The same as always
Darling
Mr. Vishnal
Sir Vishnal
Vin
Sweetie

Sir Vishnal
Vishnal:  Ooh, I like it!  Well then, erm... Princess.. I look forward to our furutre together.
Freya:  Me too, Sir Vishnal.

No way to get to go with him to watch fireflies.
Reloaded.

Leon:  Oh yes.  The Firefly Festival is tomorrow.  I must admit, I don't like the idea of begin dragged into this kind of nonsense.  But wait...  If you want, I don't think I'd mind going with you.
Freya:  Really, now?
Leon:  If you'd rather not, that's fine.  I simply won't go then.

My choices:
Yes.
I'm sorry.

Yes, of course!

Leon:  (Okay.)  I see.  Well then, until tomorrow.  I'm looking forward to it.  Come to selphia: Town Square at 19 houndred hours tomorrow.  Don't be late!
Freya:  i won't.
Leon: (Farewell.)  Until tomorrow, then.

He actually will leave my party now!

When I speak to Blossom today:  Watching the ireflies with the one you love is quite romantic, you know.

The excitement is unbearable.  I did not sleep last night, trying to battle my way through Dungeon Four, the Fire Dungeon in Rune Prana.  I actually managed it, fought the twin Lion Boss Monsters, went into the next dungeon briefly only to discover it had become the 19th and I would miss my chores if I did not return home.

I watered my crops, pushed away an impending typhoon, gave all the bachelors gifts, visited my Pets, and then went to the Square at 1800 as I wanted to watch my darling Leon enter.

Volkanon was in the Square.

Vokanon: (Best of luck to you!)  Ho ho ho!  I am reminded just how beautiful fireflies are every time I see them.  Truly, they are lovely beyond words...  Why, if I were 40 years younger, I would ask a pretty young lady to join me in viewing them!  Miss Freya, you are still young.  Be bold!  Take life by the horns!  (Best of luck to you!)

Amber is there as well.

Amber:  Yeah.  They look like stars.  I can fly with them, too!  It's like all the fireflies are chatting with each other when they glow like that.  They're saying, 'Let's go play!'

Forte:  Look at all the fireflies!  They're so pretty.

My choices:
Yeah.
I think you're prettier.
I chose the latter.
Forte: ...
Freya:  I don't think she heard me.
Doug:  Ho ho!  Whoa...  That's pretty cool!

I am still too early so I go into Bado's shop to experience the next event.

Vishnal is there.
Vishnal:  Oh, Princess!  You won't believe this!  Bado is such a terrible person!
Freya:  Oh, good!  He's realised that Bado connec him...
Vishnal:  I made such a big mistake.  That stature would never make me a skilled person just by owning it.
Freya:  Excactly.
Vishnal:  It actually houses a guardian spirit!
Freya:  Wha?
Vishnal:  This statue holds a benevolent guardian spirit who has watched over countless experts.  I can hardly believe I've nabbed such a precious artifact!  I... I'm touched...
Freya:  You've got to be kidding me!
Bado:  Ha ha ha!  I'm just glad you like that statue, Vishnal.
Vishnal:  Thank you so much, Bado!  I'm going to go back to work, and try even harder!
He rushes off.
Freya:  Bado...
Bado:  C'mon, there isn't anything wrong with that, is there?  I mean, Vishnal completely accepts what it is.
Freya:  He doesn't 'aceept' it you've fooled him into believing a fake!
Bado:  Ha ha... ahem.
Freya:  Go give him his money back and take that stupid statue!

Leon enters the square form the left, unlike the others...
Leon:  What, do you intend to spend our date with some one tagging along behind you?

I get rid of Forte and Doug, the latter whom I toughened up a bit in the Rune Prana affair.

Leon:  Ah, so you're already here.  Couldn't bear to wait, huh?

My choices now:
Nope.
Nah, I was fine.

Nope.

Leon:  I see.  I couldn't either.
Freya:  Huh?
Leon:  Come on, then.  We're going.  We're headed to Selphia: Dragon Lane.

At the lake shore, side by side.
Leon:  Those are...
Freya:  A lot of fireflies, huh...?
Leon: ...
Freya:  Darling?
Leon:  Oh, sorry... I was admiring the view.
Freya:  Heh. Beautiful, isn't it?
Leon:  I suppose so.
Freya: ...?
Leon:  My, my, my...
Freya:  What is it?
Leon:  I feel a bit excited now.  Though I hate to admit it, I actually enjoy this kind of event...
Freya:  What's wrong with that? It's good to be honest with your feelings sometimes!
Leon:  Well, that's true enough.  It really isn't bad.

Freya:  (Now's my chance...) (Now might be my best opportunity to strengthen our relationship.)

If I choose: Hold hands.
Leon:  Hmm...?
Freya:  *GRAB*
Leon: Hmm?
Freya: ...
Leon:  What am I going to do with you?
Freya:  Ah...  (He squeezed my hand tight!)

Leon displays a big red heart, then:  Shall we go home?  I'll walk you to your door.

My choices:
Are you sure?
I want to stay with you.

I want to stay with you.
Leon:  Oh-ho!  Well then, let's take our time and enjoy every second we have together.

I then notice Raven is in the background.  perhaps I will look at her wares before I return home...

I choose the option to 'Talk' to Leon first.
Leon:  Well?  Did you have fun today?

My choices:
Yeah!
Um, not really.

Yeah!
Leon:  I see.  Taht's good.
Freya:  What about you, Darling?
Leon:  Me?  I hate to admit it, so I'm not telling.

Leon follows me home but says nothing new after this.

Nancy:  Oh, the fireflies are so beautiful! I want to watch them together with Jones for years and yeras to come

I find Vishnal finally in the square and the event continues.

Freya: Vishnal, I'm sorry, but it would really be better for you to give that statue back.
Vishnal:  Princess, I'm glad you are so kind as to worry about my welfare.  But there are some obstacles a man simply must overcome on his own!
Freya:  Um... that's not what I meant...
Vishnal:  I cannot just toss away the generous support Bado gifted to me.  Watch me, Princess!  I promise I'll become an expert every one can be proud of!

20 Summer:

When I speak to Vishnal, the event continues:

Vishnal:  Princess, you won't believe this!  Today... Mr. Volkanon coplimented me!
Freya:  Wow, that's great!  What did he compliment you for?
Vishnal: I remembered that we were about to run out of an item we use every day.  I'm on the ball today!  This must be thanks to that wonderful Skill Icon!
Freya:  Um, I'm not so sure about that.
Vishnal:  It is!  It must be!

After:
Vishnal:  It couldn't be anything else but the effects of that magnificent icon!  Now that I think about it, I knew I was feeling unuaually clear-headed today!

When I speak to him today, Leon says:  Love... Thank you.
Freya: Um... For what?
Leon:  Guess! (with music)

Doug:  There's quite a lot to do when you work at a general store.
Freya:  Can't you hire more people?
Doug:  I told Blossom that I'd do everything all by myslef, liike a dolt...  The hell's wrong with me?!


I tell him I love him.
Doug:  WHA?

I really love you.
Doug:  You aren't kidding, are you?  Okay, um, can I have some time?  How about we meet up say, 10 hundred hours tomorrow at the Selphia Town Square.   I'll answer you there... See ya.

Next day:
Doug:  Wait, why do you have those others with you?  I can't give you an answer like that!

When I tell Leon I need to split up, he say:  You know, I find that when I'm with you, I'm never bored.
Freya: Huh?
Leon:  It's strange.  Even just looking at your face makes me === really want to tease you.
Freya:  EEP!  H-hey!  Stoph phinchink my pheek!
Leon:  Ha ha.  Sorry.  You just look so adorable when you're mad.
Freya:  Utk...! ...
Leon:  Though I must say, your shy face is my favourite.
Freya:  Enough teasing already!
Leon:  Oh, it's never enough.
Freya:  Urk!
Leon:  Ha ha ha!  Honestly, this is more fun than I've had in a long, long time.  It'd be so easy to forget everything and spend all day like this.
Freya:  Wha?
Leon:  Nothing.  Never mind.
Freya:  See you later.
Leon:  Later.  Today, with you was, as always, amusing.  HOw about we go somewhere together again tomorrow?
Freya:  Huh?
Leon:  Just kidding.... Though I wasn't lying when I said today was entertaining.  See you later, then.

Finally went over to poor Doug, still waiting by the entrance.
Freya:  Doug.
Doug:  Freya...
Freya:  Can I have your answer?
Doug:  Are you sure you want me?  I mean really, really sure?

My choices now:
YEs.
Well, on second thought...

Doug:  To be honest, I, uh...  I've been ... pretty into you.  For a long, long time now.

Freya:  Really?

Doug:  Yeah.  I was gonna tell you but, it looks like you beat me to it.  Freya, I...  I like you.  A lot.  I... I love you, even.  And hearing you say you like me makes me really happy and stuff.  So thanks, Freya.  I wanna go out with you, too.  Please, go out with me.

yes.
No.

Yes.

Doug:  Y-you mean that? ...  YESSSSSS!!!  I'm so looking forward to this, Freya!

He shows a big red heart, embracing me.

Doug:  Oh, hey.  How about we give each other some neat nicknames?
Freya:  Huh?
Doug:  So what do you want me to call you?

Just like always is fine.
Dear Freya
Li'l Freya
Princess Freya
Princess
Honey

Dear Freya

Doug:  Dear Freya.  Wait?  Cool.  Then starting today, I'll call you Dear Freya.  So what do you wanna call me?

Just like always is fine.
Baby
Mr. Doug
Sir Doug
Douggie
Fresh

Just like always is fine.

Doug:  You sure?  Cool.  Then we'll stick with that.  All right then.  I look forward to being toether, dear Freya.
Freya:  Me too, Doug.

21 Summer: Forte's Birthday

Today, Leon says:

Hey, you.
Freya:  me?
Leon:  Yeah, you.

My options:
Just checking if I'm real?
My name is not 'you'
Call me Love.

If I chose:  Call me Love.
Leon:  Ugh.
Freya:  What's wrong, Darling?
Leon:  never mind...  ,,, Love.
Freya:  Yes?
Leon:  ... Damn... You've got a real nice smile.

If I choose:  Just checkig if I'm real?
Leon:  That's right.  How did you know that?

If I choose:  My name is not 'you'.
Leon:  U jbiw  By the way, you...
Freya: ...

At his shop today, Bado:  I think this world is made of Love.
Freya:  bado.

My choices:
I agree with you.
Are you sick or something?

I agree with you.

Bado:  Then... will you take this box full of glasses?
Freya:  Buy things you can actually sell, for once!

I found Forte in her room swinging a long sword.
Forte rather snippishly, sotto voce:  Going somewhere?  Just the two of you?

Gave her Fried Eggs.
Forte:  Hmm?  Is this a birthday present for me?  Why, thank you.  Its always nice to receive something I like as a present.

Arthur:  Have I ever told you that I was raised by the Royal family's head butler?  Porcoline somehow reminds me of him.. though I can't quite put my finger on why.  They're completely different, both in terms of appearance and personality.

Forte for Cake:  Hmm?  Is this a birthday present for me?  Why, thank you!  It'a alwyas nice to receive something I like a s a present.

Raven has Crystal Skull and Left Rock Shard today so you don't have to complete Rune Prana beefore shipping new items to see them in her collection.

22 'summer:

When I enter Vishnal's chamber to give him Curry Rice, I hear something shatter.

Freya:  Hmm?  What was that noise?
Vishnal:  AAAAAAAAAHHHH!
Freya races back and forth.
Vishnal:  My ... my statue.../1
Freya:  What's wrong?
Vishnal:  I... I was cleaning my Skill Icon when I... I drropped it!  A=and it broke.
Freya:  Uh-oh.
Vishnal:  Wh-what am I going to do?!
Freya:  I don't thin there's anything you can do.  It's in too many pieces.
Vishnal;  No...!
He falls to the ground, then displays a big black cloud.
Vishnal;  this is why I'm such a novice.
Freya:  What are you talking about?  It was just a simple statue.
Vishnal;  Princess...
Freya:  You were the one who put in all that effort, right?  Not that piece of stone.  You've been doing really well at work the last few days because you worked hard at it.
Vishnal: ...
He raises himself off the floor.
Freya:  So have a little more confidence i yiurself, okay?
Vishnal:  Do you really think that's why?
Freya:  Of course.
Vishnal: ...  ... You have a point, I suppose.  I did work really hard.  Princess, thank you.  All right!  I'm going to work really hard today!
Freya:  I don't think he'll stop believing in that stupid statue, but it did give him confidence, so I guess it's okay.

At Bado's Shop:

Bado:  Hey,, Vishnal?  Will you watch my store for a bit?
Vishnal:  You shouldn't ditch work, Bado.
Bado:  No, hear me out!  I'm asking this only because I see a certain... talent in you.
Vishnal:  Y-you do...?
Bado:  Yeah, absolutely.  You seem like you'd be a natural!
Vishnal:  Th-then how can I say no?
Bado:  By the way, Vishnal?
Vishnal:  Yes?
Bado:  You really, really need to start questioning other people.  Naivete isn't a good trait for a butler!
Vishnal:  ... Huh?

24 Summer Buddy Contest

REquest:  Make Arthur some Turip Heaven
Reward: More Vegetable Seeds
Arthur:  I once heard about a legendary Turnip dish...  It's known as Turnip Heaven.  I hope to see it for myself at least once in my life.  You'll need a Golden Turnip to make it.  And I was able to get one seed, after much effort.  So please, make good use of it.  It's extremely valuable though, so please try not to lose it.

If you ship the seed, Arthur will NOT give you another one.

When I go into Vishnal's chamber:

Vishnal:  WAAAAAH!
I rush over to him.
Freya:  Vishnal?
Vishnal: ...
Clorica:  O hear.  Ever since he lost that statue, nothing he's done has gone right.  Everything went TOO well before, you see.  So now the scales have to even themselves out!  I think it will be a while before he can do something right again.
Vishna;  Why am I so bad at this!?
Freya:  so he's gone back to the same old Vishnal, eh?
Vishna;  I wish I could be an expert already!

After:
Vishnal: Oh, I know!  I'll go ask Bado to sell another Skill Ico to me!
Freya:  Oh no, you don't!

This is finally the end of the event.

Now I tell Vishnal I love him.

Vishnal:  What?
Freya:  I really love you.
Vishnal:  Do you mean that...?  I... I understand your feelins for me, Princess.  May I have some time to think?  Meet me at Selphia::Town Square at 10 hundred hours tomorrow.  I will have an answer for you then.  Well, erm, I shall see you later.

25 Summer:
Leon:  Doug carried Blossom on his back all the way to the clinic, I hear  Seems Doug wanted to keep it a secret to everybody.  But I truly believe I must let every oe know about it.  His good deed must go down in history!  It's my duty... as a cleric!
!
Freya:  Nobody's going to watnt o conduct confessionals with you anymore, you know...

At 9.20 Vishnal is waitin outside the entrance.  Princess, if yu have a moment, could we please speak in private?

If I answered:  Yep, you sure are!
Vishnal: Urk!  Hearing it cofirmed so blithely like that is a little depressing....
I'm too loud.  I mess up a lot and get yelled at constantly.  I'm clumsy .  A-and I break dishes all the time!

YOu sure do!

Vishnal:  ...  So, erm... I, uh...  I'm not very good at anything at all, even for a novice.  But, I...  I love you Princess!

Oh, I'm well aware!

Vishnal:  So please allow me to ask you but one question...

9 up to the 100 after these nasty options are chosen.  No different if I chose the kinder responses.

Finally got a Love Crystal from the Love Gate south of Obsidian.

Jones:  Yesterday, Doug rushed into the clinic in quite a panic.    He was carrying Blossom on his shoulder.  She was fine, but it was a bit terrifying nonethelss.

Volcanon:  Yesterday, I saw Doug carrying Blossom to the clinic.  It was just wonderful!  I couldn't stop crying!

Bado:  Doug's a carying child... or maybe it's just that Blossom is really loved.  I wonder who'd carry me if I fell..
Freya:  Erm...
Bado:  Judging from reactions to my daily behaviour, I was totally not expecting that.
Freya:  Don't sound so proud about that part.

Doug and  Dylas are together in Doug's room.

Doug:  Man, nothing's been going my way lately.  My concentration's really a few fish short of a hatstand.
Arthur:  Uh... Doug?
Doug:  Hmm?
Arthur:  I do't think that means what you think it means.
Doug: Huh?!  What are you talking about?  It means it's getting worse and worse, doesn't it?
Arthur:  No, it means you're crazy.  Which might not be too far off, come to think of it....
Doug:  Whaaat?!  No, that can't be right... Are you making this up?!
Dylas:  Sounds like something I'd do.  But no, I;m quite certain.
Doug:  Seriously?
Dylas:  God, you are such an idiot!
Doug:  ... Takes one to know one!

Vishnal now:  It's kind of embarrassing to think that we're actually an 'item' as the kids say...
Freya:  That's ... true...
Vishnal: ...
Freya: ...
Vishnal:  Shall we...?
Freya:  Um... sure...

I have to say that it is very disconcerting to have ALL the bachelors referring to our relationship and using endearments when they address me.  It feels wrong somehow.  In the other HM and RF games, one raised them all to the highest level, experiened the four Heart Events and then married one of them.  This one takes so much longer because of the 'dates' and the Marriage Event.  I will have to live with my reputaiton as a 'player' for a very long time I think before I finally can settle down with my beloved Leon who reminds me so much of my own childhood sweetheart.

I finally was able to find another Rune Crystal in the area east of the Autumn FIeld.  Go east, go east and then north to find a screen with about six or seven Rune Crystals in the ground.  Reloaded a few times but got one in the end.  I then made the Diamond Brooch.  Unlike the Talisman, which I disliked intensely as it was very confusing and onlu restored lost status gradually it appeared, with the Diamond Brooch, I was able to enter Rune Prana 4 with all the poison gas and Heaven's Scissors and I did not suffer any ill effects.  So that is why a player ought to have a Rune Crystal.  It is said that no one ever sells them, even after you ship them.  Certainly, I shipped my first one ages ago and it never appeared with Raven, the Gem Merchant or Arthur.

Beat the Siren, but it took hours and i is aftrnoon o the next day.

And so Etherlink was completed.  However, it required a large number iof runes to create the necssary rune crystals.  the only place where many runse had been collected was the Forest of beginnings itself.  We tried to find a way to get there.  We searched high and low for information and finally, we found a door that led us directly into the Forest of Beginnings.  But in order to open that door, we needed a key.  A key powerful enouh to distort the laws of nature.  To create a new Reason  Somehing that could take the place of the Guardians and extend the dragon's liufe.  That was what we strove to create.  That was the theory behind it, anyway.  We had no way to know for sure if we were right.  Then another person appeared before us, asking to become a Guardian.  Ironically, this triggered the door to open.  And so it stood, oipen before us.  The girl, who had been infused with runes, was the proof we needed.

2nd place in Harvest Festival.  Could not make 1st.

Leon:  Fall will be upon us soon.  They say fall is the season of fessting.  Are you excited for it?  Or are you like a certain knight, who will deny it fiercely, all while waiting for it impatiently?

Volkanon:  A butler must protect his or her own body!
Vishnal:  Yes, sir!
Clorica:  Yes, sir.
Volkanon:  In order to avoid unnecessary fights, I will initiate Neko Damashi today.
Vishnal:  I see!  So you pretend to be a cat and fool your enemy, right?
Volkanon:  WRONG!
CLorica:  Cats are sooo cute.  So this must be a trick to tame them!
Volkanon:  WRONG AGAIN!  You slap your hands right in front of them, like this...
Volkanon:  That'll scare the poor cats!
Vishnal:  Indeed!  That's far too cruel!
Volkanon;  WAAAAAAAH!

FreyaP:  When did you start liking me, Sir Vishnal?
Vishnal:  Well...  I think...  It was the first moment we met, to be honest.
Freya:  Does that mean... it was love at first sight?
Vishnal:  I think so.

I walk into the Restaurant and experience a sort of Heart Event. Dylas is behind the counter.


Freya: Ooh, Darling is in the kitchen today.
I walk up to him.
Dylas: ...
Freya Looks like he's concentrating on cooking. I think I'll...
My choices now: Watch him like a salker.
Surprise him!
Watch him...
Dylas: ...Hmm?
Freya: ...
Dylas: GAH! When did you get here?
Freya: Just a minute ago.
Dylas: Then say something!
Freya: You looked like you were busy cooking. I didn't want to disturb you.
Dylas; Thanks, but never time don't sneak up on me! (shows tear) What are you doing, anyway?
Freya: Nothing. I just wondered what you were up to.
Dylas: What, so you were just watching?
Freya: Yeah.
Dylas: ... Me?
Freya: Yeah.
Dylas: ...
Freya: You're turning red.
Dylas: Huh?! W-well, of ourse! It's hot in a kitchen!
Freya: True. YOu are cooking, after all.
Dylas: E-exactly.
Freya: Practicing a new recipe? That's awfully diligent of you.
Dylas: N=not really. It's not like I'm trying to get better so I can be more help to Porcoline or anything.
Freya: (with tear) Oh.
Dylas: Uh, so how long are you going to stand there and watch?
My choice now:
Until I get bored.
I'll leave soon.

I'll leave soon.
Dylas: Oh. Well, uh, I... guess I don't mind if you wanted to watch for just a little bit.
Freya: Really? I think I will, then.
Dylas: Q-quit it! YOu're making it hard for me to concentrate!
Freya: Huh? So you want me to leave?
Dylas: .(...) Er, no point now. I just finished the dish.
 Freya: What did you make?
Dylas: Omelet Rice. Freya: Ooh.
Dylas ...
Freya: What?
Dylas: You want some of it?
Freya: Can I have some?
Dulas: Sure. here. But next time... show up the normal way, okay? No more sneaking. Freya: Okay!
Dylas: Dammit! What's with that bright, innocent smile?

The event ends with a plate of Omelet Rice on the floor.

Kiel Do you love me, Honey?
Choices:
Of course.
I'm not sure.
Of course.
Kiel: Hee hee, same to you!! Let's always be good friends!

Freya:  Hey, Vishnal-
Vishnal: Don't say anything.  Just stay by my side.  Let me feel your warmth.
Freya:  Wh-which dungeon did you dig that cheesy phrase out of?!
Vishnal:  You didn't like it?
Freya:  it just sounds strange coming from you.
Vishnal:  Hmm...  Leon told me that girls like to hear these sorts of things.... But I suppose I was misinformed.

Freya:  What kind of things do you like, Mr. Volkanon?
Volkanon:  Me?  Let me think...  There are so many things... but among them all, I would
say that Relax Tea is my favourite.  Its deep lflavour soothes my soul. After all, it is known to be a tea for relaxation.

4 Autumn:  Freya's Birthday and Eating Contest

In the square at noon:
Vishnal:  (Did you know?)  I've heard the ladies are considering going on diets.
Kiel:  (What?)  They are?
Doug:  Ugh, again?  They're always on about that at this time of yeaR.     They freak out about that stuff too much if you ask me.  Besides, they're way cuter if  they have a little bit of chub to them!
Arthur  To each his own, I would think.  However, it is a delicate topic with the ladies.  I would broach it very carefully.
Dylas:  Good point.
Doug:  Huh?
Dylas:  For example, don't tell Margaret 'you've gained weight' even just in passing.  And never follow it up with 'you could never stick to a diet' either.
Arthur:  It sounds like you have some very ... specific experience, Dylas.
Dylas: ...Leon:  To tease knowingly is one thing, but to say it unkowingly with a straight face is simply foolish.  Whatever happens, Kiel, do not grow into a man like him.  Understand?
Doug: (hey!)  What are you pointing at me for?!

Kiel:  Right.  I won't.
Doug: Don't listen to him!  I'm awesome!

One of the bad things about reloading is that often you erase an experience but it's still in your head.  This is the case with playing more than one file as well.  So in I go to Idra and Freya suddenly:  What the...?  It looks like there's a wall here but I can pass right through!

i go through and find Mediparalyse.  I suspect now that this experience was one I never had in this particular game but can be initiated only after byou 'beat' the game.  I will try it in another game at some point.  It is a single chamber, nothing more.

5 Autumn:

Vishnal:  I am planning to give some Fried Rice to Doug tomorrow.
Freya:  To Doug?
My choices:
What for?
YOU made it?

I knew tomorrow was his birthday but still thought the first choice less insulting to Vishnal:

Vishnal: Well, tomorrow is his birthday.  I thought i might make a favourite of his as a birthday present.  Oh!  But please don't let him know until tomorrow.  It will be our secret.
Freya:  Sure!

Doug:  See, Granny Blossom pulled me aside the other day, and you know what she said to me?  She said, 'I want to see my grandchild's face before I die.'  But the thing is... she doesn't actually have a grandchild.

Blossom:  Augumn 6 is Doug's birthday.
Freya:  Oh?  He can be so shy about that stufff I woldn't be surprised if he never mentioned anything.
Blossom:  Perhaps... But it's the only thing he's told me about himself besides his name.
Freya:...
Blossom:  So you see...  I'd like to have a big, warm celebration for him.
Freya:  he might be too shy and run away...  But he's got a weakness for you, Blossom.   He may complain, be he'll still spend the day with you.
Blossom:  do you htink so?
Freya:  Oh, I'm sure he will!
Blossom:  I hope so!

6 Autumn: Doug's Birthday

Dooug:  Y'know, birthdays are great.  Grammu B;pGranny Blossom makes me a whople bunch of great food,e very one gives me presents, it's awesome.  But for the life of me, I can't figure out who left that present for me on the counter.  Dear Freya, do you have any ideas?

My choices now:
Who could it be?
Not a clue?

Who could it be?
Doug:  Hey!  You know, don't you?
Freya:  Nope.  Honest.  No clue.  Nuh-uh.
Doug:  tell me who it is~


Gave him the usual Baked Onigiri:
Doug:  Whoa, cool.  You got me something I like for my birthday.  Thanks.

Every time I make new armour, I have to buy another magnifying glass and upgrade ith this.  I always forget and wonder why I can't see the stats!

Volkanon: Its' an event to jump off an airship?  You're a natural for such an event, Miss Freya!
F/  What do you mean?
Volkanon:  Well, you already have practical experienc ein performing the stimt safe;u. mp
Lin Fa:  Jumping off the airship?  Just the thought of it...  Actually, it's not that bad.
Dylas:  Margaret's been pretty noisy since early this morning.  What's all the hubbub, I wonder?
Arthur:  Tgere are rumours spreading about ane vent to jump off the airship..  But that project was turned down long ago.
Freya:  Oh, really?
Arthur:  We're now thinking about an event to 'fall with the airship'.
Freya:  Waht does that even mean?

Bado:  It seems like there's ane vent to jump off the airship...
My choices:  Are you participating?
I smell money.
Are you participating?
Bado:  I might actually consider it.

All the girls inside the Inn:
Forte:  You never cease to amaze me, Clorica.
Clorica;  huh?  Why?
Forte: You can eat even while you're sleeping!
Clorica;  There's no way --
Margaret:  I've seen it.  I once saw Clorica chewing like mad, but she was fast asleep the whhole time.
Clorica;  Huh...?
Xiao Pai:  You sometimes have multiple plates and you handle them so perfectly!
Cloirca:  What...?
Amber:  I'll often ask you questions, too.. and you actually answer!
Clorica:  There's ... There's no way...
Dolce:  You've even gone back for seconds.
Clorica:  ...  How embarrassing...
Clorica:  I want to float away like the cloud...
Colce  An airship jumping event, huh?  Doesn't seem like it'll be too exciting in Pico's case, since she can fly...
Pico;  What were you hoping for, milady?
Amber:  Finally...  I can finally fly with everybody!  Hee hee, I can't wait!
Xiao Pai:  it seems like jumping from the airship isn't easy to do.  But it does sound fun, yes/
My choices:  You're right.
It's not that fun.
It's not that fun.
Xiao Pai:  you look like you know everything about it.
Margaret;  I hereby state my opposition to the jumping event!  NO JUMPING!  NO JUMPING!
Freya:  Wh-why are you so against it?
Margaret: ...  It's too high.
Freya: ...
Porco:  Did you hear about the event to hjump from high in the air?  I'll do it if you'll fall with me...
Freya:  No thank you.
Kiel:  Hey, Honey, have you heard about the plans to jump off the airship?
My choices:
I've done that.
I wouldn't recommend it.
Kiel:  it seems like a lot of people are saying that.  Especially Margaret.  She was totally against it... To the point that she seemed almost militant!
Freya:  D-did she?
Illuminata:  They're holding an event to jump down from high in the sky/  YEEEEEEEEEES!  I'M SO PUMPED!

8 Autumn:  Finally, My golden Turnips were 100% today.  I had used Formula C again and again but
"When I went to the Request Box to reread the REquest, another bag of Golden Turip Seed dropped.

I went to the Kitchen, made the Dish and took it to Arthur.

Arthur:  This must be... Turnip Heaven!    How difficult was it to make such a unique dish as this?  Thank you so much, Master!  I'm very impressed.
Freya: You're welcome.
Arthur:  I'll cherish and savour it, as if I'm eating you personally.
Freya:  I d=don't know how I feel about that...
Arthur:  Oh, I was able to get the general store to begin stocking new seeds.  So please, make good use of them.
Golden Turnip seeds at Genrral Store now.

Doug:  Tomorrow's Dylas' birthday.
Freya:  ARe you going to get him a present?
Doug:  ARe you freaking stupid?!  There's no way I'm getting him Con Cereal.
Freya:  Uh-huh.  Sure. Corn Cereal?
Doug:  Hey!  No laughing!



Freya to Dylas:  Oh my?  What happened to your hand?
Dylas:  Oh, this?  Procoline was trying to eat his own food again instead of serving it, so I had to grab it away.  But it was so hot that I burned myselfa little.
Freya:  ARe you all right?
Doylas:  Don't worry.  It's not a big deal.  But what's strange... is that Porcoline was holding the same dish with his bare hands and it didn't burn him at all..
Freya:  ...

Margaret:  Tomorrow is Dylas's birthday.  Maybe I should make him a dish using carrots.  Or maybe a Carrot Song.
Freya:  I think that latter option might just annoy him.

Kiel:  Oh, by the way... Did you know that Arthur is obsessed with glasses?  Like eyeglasses.  As Bado puts it, he has 'an eye for glasses.'

Holy Spore on Fridays only on Selphia Plains (E4 on the map)  Death Fungus Monster. can fight only once

Once I completed Arthur's Golden Turnip request, I finally got:

Request:  Harvest a large golden crop
Reward: Ultimate and Royal Curries

I finally managed to remember to go to Mush Road on Friday to find the Death Fungus and win an Holy Spore.  Had to reload a few times of course.  Very rare... I saved in the Cluck Cluck cave to be close at hand.

Vishnal now says:  I can't get to sleep at night because I simply can't stop thinking of you... I believe I'm in love.

He's a romantic chap... if I only didn't find Leon so physically irresistable.  His personality is annoying really.  He is the eternal prankster.  And yet, so gorgeous, a silver fox...

Kiel is cute and blond and a reader.  I could go for him if Leon didn't exist.

For Curry Manju on his birthday, Vishnal:  Really?!  For me?  And one made by you, no less!  This is the happiest birthday I've ever had!
Go outside the plaza, then turn back to go into your room to experience the next event:
Freya:  Twinkle is gone.
Blossom emerges from the palace.:  It may have grown enough to fly to greener forests.  Snatching people's belongings, making Doug do dangerous things, goodness what a troublesome bird!
Freya:  For all that, you look pretty happy about this all.
Blossom:  Hee hee hee!  I'm not, you know.  Not one bit.  Oh yes.  I'd like to give this to you.
Freya:  What is it?
Blossom:  Something I made.  It's the same as the one I gave to Doug.  I hope you don't mind.
Freya:  Thank you.
Blossom:  I don't expect you to make an heriloom of it, but I hope you do take care of it.
She gives you a common Charm and walks off.

If Freya speaks to Vishnal:  Happy Birthday!
Vishnal:  Thank you.    I've had so many wonderful birthday wishes from every one today.  It's been deeply touching and I am very thankful.  I want to repay all this kindness. ... by becoming the VERY BESST butler I can possibly be!  I can do it!  I WILL do it!!
Dylas is in my room:  Hey... do you like scenic places?
I do.
Not really.
I do.
Dylas:  ... I found a place with great scenery just outside of town.  If you'd like... w-w-well...
Freya: ...?
Dylas:  ...wh... why don't you... go there sometime?
