Heyyy, Michael, there's a store nearby. |
|
You don't have something bad planned do you? |
|
No, it's a very nice store and I want to get us both something. |
|
Is it another fireworks store? Last time we went to one, we had to clean up
the entire thing. |
|
No, it's a gem store. There's these gem pairs that mean "Best Friends
Forever". I want to take you with me and see if we can get them. |
|
O-Oh, well, thank you. I guess I'll go with you. Is it an outdoor store? |
|
Yeah, aren't gem stores like that usually? Are you worried about seeing a
lot of people? We can go to the smaller stores first if you aren't
comfortable. |
|
N-no, that's not it. It- |
|
Then, let's go! |
|
(Celeste leaves the scene.) |
W-Wait! |
|
(Michael chases after her.) |

Michael, I have a question. |
|
What's the matter? |
|
Is your armor too heavy for you? You've never been particularly strong, and
I'd be upset if something were to happen to you. |
|
The armor is okay, I'm... not having any trouble with it. |
|
Really? Hup! |
|
(Celeste lifts Michael up and holds him in a
bridal carry.) |
Wh-whoa! |
|
I'm taller than you, older than you, and still physically stronger than
you. |
|
P-Please put me down. The armor is fine. |
|
Is that so? I'll have to carry you with it on to see if it is. If I can,
then that means you'll be fine. |
|
The armor's light! |
|
Alright, I get it. Let me put you down. |
|
(Celeste puts Michael back down.) |
But if it really is, could I wear it? |
|
W-Well, um- I-I'll be back! |
|
(Michael runs off.) |
I hope he's really fine in all that armor. I wouldn't want him to strain
himself. |

*sigh* What am I going to do? I need to find my mother when this is all over,
but how will I know if she'll be okay? |
|
(Michael enters the scene.) |
Celeste? |
|
Oh, Michael. Uh... The beach is pretty nice, isn't it? Check out this pearl
I found! |
|
There's something wrong, isn't there? Please don't hide it. |
|
How long were you here? |
|
I came here a while ago to get resources. I heard you talking to yourself
about your mother. It's weird seeing you so upset. |
|
You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine. Speaking of her, remember how
she said you'd be good at using lances? Turns out she was right. |
|
Huh, yeah. My mother, on the other hand, was against it. She was always
teaching me that I must be polite whenever I can. Needless to say, she thought
using weapons wasn't "polite". Still, that didn't stop her from letting us go
to each other's houses. Even if you were a little... energetic. |
|
Huh, really? I remember you were often there for my axe training. I even let
you try giving it a couple of swings. |
|
Mm-hm. It was fun. With that, I guess what I'm trying to say is that if
there is anything bothering you, you can tell me. We're friends, after all. |
|
... Hey, Michael, why don't we do some stone skipping? |
|
H-Huh? |
|
Here, take one! |
|
(Celeste hands him a rock.) |
B-but- |
|
No use in dwelling on something we can't control. So, come on! Let's have
some fun! |
|
Er, alright. |

This forest looks familiar... Celeste? |
|
Oh, hey again, Michael. Looking for more resources again? I was just looking
for my axe. How do I lose something like that? |
|
It's not the craziest thing you lost. |
|
Hey! It's not like I lost you! That would be sad. |
|
Ha, true. But I'll help. I'd love to, in fact. |
|
Some time later... |
Hey, does this place look familiar to you? |
|
You too? Like the time we first met when I saved you from
bullies? |
|
Mm-hm. They told me to go in, otherwise they'd said they do
something to my mom. |
|
It was a good thing I showed up when I did, then. I came in, beat
them senseless, and they ran away. You were crying, so we just started talking
to calm you down. I remember telling you about how the forest wasn't that scary,
and a bunch of other stuff. And then we both said that our favorite color- |
|
|
Was green! |
|
If you didn't do that I'd be just an errand boy for them, and I
wouldn't have thought of joining the knights. I've got to thank you for
that. |
|
You already have. After that, I took you back to my house. My
mom wasn't sure how she felt about me going to the forest by myself. But she
was glad I rescued someone. |
|
Well, can't really say I'd blame her. We were pretty dirty. You
also begged her to let me stay the next two days. |
|
Ah... I wish I could find her soon. |
|
Hey, when this is all over, we'll go find your mom and ask her
if... if we could start dating. |
|
Michael... |
|
Then you can actually reading the books I gave you. |
|
What do you mean?! I do read them. |
|
Oh boy, if my mother were still around... |
|
You skim through them. |
|
I do not! I-- Oh! My axe. Let's go! |
