Leia Episode 3 - Leia's Report

Leia: Hmm...

-L1: What's wrong, Leia? (Leia +)
-R1: How strange to see you lost in thought.

L1 Route:
Leia: Ah, Ludger.
Leia: Well, you see, I just received a text from my editor a little while ago.
Leia: He asked if I understood my homework...
Leia: "What is necessary when writing articles?"
Alvin: Did you actually come up with an answer?
Leia: When we were in that alternate timeline with Agria...
Leia: The way she thought of Elenpios... what did you think about it?

-L1: It wasn't fair.
-R1: Well, I can't deny everything she said.

L1 Route:
Leia: Right? I personally thought it was quite severe.
Leia: ...This seems related, doesn't it?
Leia: I mean to my editor asking what is necessary.
Leia: People have so many different views and thoughts about what Elenpios and Liese Maxia are like.
Leia: The truths of each country...
Leia: I've been thinking maybe I should write about them in an article, or maybe not...
Leia: Ah! I just don't know!
Leia: I'm sick of thinking about it!!
Leia: I'll just have to use that station workers views on Liese Maxia as material for my article!
Alvin: That's more like the Leia I know.
Alvin: Well, what are you going to do now? Go interview that station worker to get material?
Leia: No, I've got enough material from him. He was just the beginning.
Leia: I've got to experience a lot and interview lots of people, or else the article will just be my opinion.

-L1: Would that be bad if it was just your opinion?
-R1: I'll help. (Leia +)

R1 Route:
Leia: Thank you, Ludger.
Leia: But I didn't mean we had to go do it right now.
Leia: I want to naturally hear people's views and feelings on the two countries.
Leia: I think I should slowly collect my material a little bit at a time.
Alvin: I see.
Leia: Yeah! Now I'm all fired up!
Leia: I'll have to report to my editor! See you guys later!
Alvin: She could've just texted him.
Alvin: ...Well, this is more like her.

Gaius Episode 1 - Gaius's Encounter

Gaius: This is Arst, but I have a meeting with a shopkeeper right now. Could I connect to you later?*
Man: Ah yes, I'll wait.
Gaius: So you all are here. How strange to see Musee with you as well.
Musee: Ah, what a coincidence.
Elle: Is Musee shopping too?
Young Man 1: Damn that old man...!
Young Man 2: This is bad, let's get out of here...
Musee: Hmm, it sounds like they're trying to run away from someone.
Gaius: You can hear them?
Musee: Yes, these ears of mine can hear veeery well.
Elle: Stupid Musee.
Musee: Did you just say I was beautiful?**
Elle: Ah, yes... I did...
Gaius: Those people...

-L1: They interest you?
-R1: They seem like bad guys.

L1 Route:
Gaius: They're trying to be inconspicuous. It seems like they don't want to get themselves involved in anything troublesome.
Gaius: That's likely all there is to it.
Musee: Ohh, it looks like things are about to get interesting.
Young Man 3: I told you, I don't know anything!
Old Man: You do understand that I can have you arrested if you refuse to help?***
Young Man 3: But...
Young Man 2: Hey, Tarnet! It's the old man.
Tarnet: Don't move. Just act normal.
Old Man: Say something. You saw that group of five kids, right?
Young Man 3: I've told you over and over, I don't know anything...
Gaius: I think it's time we take our leave.
Gaius: I'll have to find another opportunity to meet with that shopkeeper.
Tarnet: Now's our chance.
Ludger: Oww...
Old Man: There you are!
Old Man: Our business's dignity is on the line! Capture them all!
Tarnet: Kurak, run!
Gaius: This is bad, let's hurry.
Musee: Why are you following us?
Elle: We're gonna get caught, Ludger!
Tarnet: Not if we can help it. Just run faster!
Kurak: This is bad!
Gaius: Ludger! Don't let them see your face!
Ludger: Ah!
Soldier: Ugh!
Kurak: Wow...
Kurak: Let's head to the inn near the port. We won't be found by them there!
Old Man: Damn.
Old Man: What is that woman... It almost looked like she was flying...
Old Man: And that black-haired man... I've seen him somewhere before...

*He should've said "I'll call you later". The point is that Gaius is bad at using phones and apparently bad at phone terminology as well.
**Elle said "baka" or "stupid," which is sort of similar (at least the first letter anyway) to the word "bijin" or "beautiful woman." Musee probably heard exactly what Elle said, but is just being Musee and teasing Elle.
***I think this is what he said? I'm really confused about why these two guys are arguing. It's not really important.


==========================

Tarnet: Kurak! So you're safe.
Kurak: Yeah. Sort of. Thanks to these people.
Tarnet: Why did you bring them along?
Kurak: They did save me. So I figured it'd be fine.
Tarnet: You...
Kurak: Oh, right. I don't think we've properly introduced ourselves yet, have we?
Elle: Elle.
Musee: I'm Musee. I know I'm floating, so if you mention it you'll offend me.
Kurak: Ah, right. I'll keep that in mind... and not mention it.
Musee: Hehe, thanks.
Gaius: I'm... Arst. This is Ludger.
Kurak: Arst and Ludger, I see...
Kurak: I'm Kurak.
Kurak: This is our leader, Tarnet. He's my best friend. It's nice to meet you all.
Tarnet: ...
Musee: By the way... are you guys some kind of group or something?
Kurak: You could say we're a group of students. Although we don't really go to school very often.
Kurak: We get people like those guys from earlier after us because of that though.*
Elle: Cause you're delinquents?
Kurak: That's not a very nice way to put it. You'll hurt our feelings. I guess it can't be helped though.
Kurak: Hey, do you all have some free time? I want you to teach me how to fight for next time.
Kurak: You guys are seriously amazing. Where did you learn to fight?
Tarnet: "Come to the park."

*Not really sure about this and the next line. He's saying "those guys hang around." I'm not sure why the people from before were even after them, or if that had anything to do with their not going to school.

==========================

Tarnet: What do you want?
Tarnet: Didn't I tell you guys to get out of my sight? If you want me to make it plainer, I find your presence highly unpleasant.
Gaius: I... I've had quite a number of interesting experiences.
Gaius: If I could, I was thinking I'd like to try and share some of those experiences with you.
Tarnet: Look, let me say it even plainer. I don't trust you.

-L1: Kurak doesn't seem to feel that way though. (Gaius +)
-R1: Are you afraid of losing your position as leader?

L1 Route:
Tarnet: Because him and the others are idiots.
Tarnet: However, I've figured out who you really are!
Elle: Eh!!
Musee: Hehe, how distressing. Whatever shall we do?
Tarnet: You are...
Tarnet: A Liese Maxian, right? You're hiding it, but I can tell.
Gaius: So that's your reason?
Tarnet: I really hate Liese Maxians. Get out of Elenpios and stay out!
Musee: You called us out here just to say that?
Musee: Honestly, I'm a little disappointed.
Tarnet: Don't misunderstand.
Tarnet: Just telling you how much I hate Liese Maxia is nice an all, but...
Elle: Ludger...
Gaius: Are you sure about this? You just have a problem with me, right?
Tarnet: Anyone who sticks up for and hangs around Liese Maxians...
Tarnet: They disgust me too!

(battle)

Tarnet: What are you people... monsters?
Musee: Don't say things like that. You wouldn't want to hurt people's feelings, heheh.
Gaius: Enough.
Tarnet: Damn!
Musee: To think there are still this many people who hate Liese Maxia.
Elle: Is it because they think Liese Maxia is scary?
Gaius: The road ahead is still long.
Musee: The road that Liese Maxia and Elenpios must walk?
Gaius: Yes.

Elise Episode 2 – A Plan to Obtain Varnish

Elise: Ludger… um…
Rowen: Elle-san, Jude-san is looking for you.
Elle: Eh? Jude is?
Rowen: Yes. Apparently they're handing out samples of this new type of cat food that Lulu-san might like.
Rowen: They're only giving out one person, so he wants you to hurry.
Elle: Oh no! We've got to hurry!
Elise: They're holding a Speed Quest Competition here today… do you know about it?
Rowen: It's a competition where the first person to complete a specific task wins, right?
Rowen: They're held here at Maxbard every so often.
Rowen: I believe there are bets placed on who will win as well.
Tipo: The prizes for the competition are incredible!
Elise: It seems that if you win you can get a Varnish!
Rowen: Ohh, that's that extremely rare stuffed animal, isn't it?
Rowen: Although if I remember correctly, I believe for a Liese Maxian to participate, someone from Elenpios has to join the team as well…
Elise: Yeah. They're worried about contestants using spirit artes to cheat…

-L1: I understand. I'll participate. (Elise +)
-R1: Don't make that face.

L1 Route:
Tipo: That's just like you! You knew just what we were asking~
Elise: Thank you so much!
Tipo: Yeah, let's do this!
Rowen: Well, if it's decided then let's give it all we've got. Let's head over and sign up.
Elise: Let's go!

==========================

Receptionist: A warm welcome to you all! Let's get you all registered without delay!
Receptionist: You'll have to complete an agent's quest and return here with your prize ticket!
Receptionist: The first one to return with their ticket wins the ultimate prize…
Receptionist: The very rare stuffed animal, Varnish, is the ultimate prize!
Elise: …
Rowen: Elise-san?
Elise: It's nothing, I was just thinking that I have to do my best for Elle…
Rowen: Don't be nervous. We're all with you after all.

==========================

Receptionist: Hey, welcome back! I see you brought the ticket with you!
Receptionist: So, I wonder what your clear time was...!?
Receptionist: Wow! The fastest time in the whole competition!
Receptionist: You all are our winners!
Elise: We did it!
Receptionist: Congrats! Here is your prize!

Elise: ...This is Varnish!?

-L1: It seems like a fake.
-R1: ...Maybe they gave us the wrong prize? (Elise +)

R1 Route:
Elise: Do you think so...?
Tipo: That must be it!
Rowen: Excuse me, is it possible that Varnish is not the ultimate prize this time?
Receptionist: The prize is Ver. Nisshe.
Receptionist: The famous Nisshe family specially created this stuffed animal... And it's name...
Receptionist: "The Special Stuffed Animal Named Version (period) Nisshe," or "Ver (period) Nisshe" for short!
Rowen: Wha!? There's a period in the name!
Tipo: You've gotta be kidding me!
Elise: I thought it was the real Varnish!
Receptionist: Impossible, impossible! Use your common sense.
Receptionist: The real Varnish's production was limited. It's almost impossible to get a hold of one now.
Receptionist: It's unfortunate, but that's the way it is. Please take good care of Ver. Nisshe.
Elise: How disappointing...
Rowen: Did you just receive a text from your friend Luna-san?
Elise: Yes. I told her about what we were doing today and it seems she was worried.
Elise: I told her we won, but that the prize was only a fake Varnish.

-L1: I'm sure there's somewhere that still has the real Varnish is stock.
-R1: But your desire to find Varnish for Elle is sincere, Elise, and that counts for something. (Elise +)

R1 Route:
Rowen: I think so too. Don't be sad.
Elise: Luna says the same thing.
Elise: She says, "I'm sure Elle will appreciate your kindness so don't give up."
Elise: "I'll search for Varnish too."
Rowen: You have a good friend in Luna.
Elise: Yes, she's probably planning to do this in return for before.
Elise: As a token of our friendship, I gave her a ringtone for her GHS.
Tipo: My voice tells them of incoming texts! Isn't that awesome~
Rowen: Ahh, then that just now was...
Rowen: This old man would love to use that notification tone too.
Elise: No, Rowen can't have it.
Elise: It's only for me and Luna.
Rowen: Wh, what...!!!
Elise: I'll keep trying my best.
Elise: If I get disheartened this easily, I'll never be good enough to be Elle's older sister!
Tipo: Elise is such an adult already, that this will be easy!
Elle: I've found you all!
Elise: Elle, did you get the cat food?
Elle: Yeah, lots of it! Lulu probably just got a little fatter.
