Rif: This is Marneil Inn Town.
Murno: Where is it that you can receive treatment?
Tier: I can be treated at the inn there. It's called Smile Cottage. I'd be very much indebted to you, so please...
Rif: Then, shall we go?
Tier: Also, if any of you are tired, you could stay for a bit. It has really great food.
-The home-made cake especially is enchantingly delicious.
Murno: Cake...
V.E: Cake, huh... even the word makes me a bit sentimental...
(Grrgll…)
Murno: (blushing) Ah…
Rif: Ah, was that...
Killfith: (glares) What? You heard nothing.
Rif: Er... uh, no, of course not.
Murno: Umm…
V.E: I guess we could stop for a bit. We'll just take a short break here.
Rif: Sweet! Let's go!
(Side Conversation)
Rif: Taking a rest at the Smile Cottage Inn!
Tier: That's right! Let's hurry!
Murno: Don't hurry too much! What if your injury gets worse?
Tier: Uh, yeah, that's right, huh...
Killfith: What happened? You were so energetic all of a sudden.
Tier: N-no I wasn't, don't be silly~.
V.E: ...
(End)
(Inside Smile Cottage)
???: Hello! Welcome to Smile Cottage!
Tier: We have guests! Four who would like to stay the night.
V.E: Hold on a second! Who's staying the night?!
Tier: Didn't you just stay you wanted to rest here, though?
V.E: C-certainly I said that, but I never said we'd spend the night!
(Jade walks up)
Jade: Oh, hey, looks like you guys finally made it.
V.E: Hold up, what are you doing here?
Jade: Yeah, well, it’s just that, I came across this troubled girl, and I couldn’t just abandon her, could I?
V.E: You were just looking to get some cake, weren't you?
Jade: Hey, what's that supposed to mean?! I wouldn’t be lured by cake.
V.E: You've got some cream on the edge of your mouth.
Jade: Gah!
V.E: Just kidding.
Jade: Gh...! Why you...
V.E: Must have been a really good cake. Though, there's no need to lose your temper.
Killfith: Indeed. You realize throwing a tantrum only makes you look bad, right?
Tier: Anyway! Mom's cuisine is the best in Lyndbaum, you know!
Murno: Your mom?!
Roche: Yes, I'm her mother, Roche. And it appears my daughter has invited you here by force, so you have my apologies for that.
Rif: Daughter?!
Tier: Yep, I'm this establishment's poster girl, Tier!
//The term Tier refers to herself here is actually “kanban musume”… which literally means “a pretty girl who attracts boys to her parents’ shop.”//
(insert pause here)
(group exclamation points, yay)
V.E: We were set up!
Tier: But since you're already here, you might as well partake of some delicious cuisine, and there's also a workshop so you can have us repair your weapons for you.
Rif: Except I'm a Craftknight! I repair my weapons myself!
Tier: Then, if you would do us the favor of staying the night, maybe I could forgive you for pulling those weapons on me, hmm?
Roche: What do you—they attacked you?!
V.E: Miss, I assure you there were some extenuating circumstances…
Tier: And because of those circumstances, how about we make it 1000 Boam per person, if you don’t mind.
Rif: Geez... I should've known this was about money!
-Don't you think trying to cheat us out of our money is a little underhanded?
Tier: What? Saying that I cheated you... how mean...
Rif:
-It wasn't mean at all! >Not Backing Down
-Maybe it was a little mean… >Softer Approach
Not Backing Down
Rif: Of course you cheated us! You said that you were injured, but wasn't that a lie? >Liar
Softer Approach
Rif: Well... maybe I went a little overboard with that…?Killfith: What are you talking about, of course she was cheating us. She claimed to be wounded, but that was obviously a lie. >Liar
Liar
Tier: How could you, calling me a liar... so mean!-(takes off)
Roche: Ah, wait! Tier?!
V.E: Gee whiz, look at what you did now.
Rif: Why are you saying it's my fault?!
Roche: Please excuse her... sometimes that girl... well, in any case, I should go bring her back.
V.E: Wait. What about the store?
Roche: Well... I suppose until my husband gets back, the store will have to be left unattended for a bit.
V.E: No.
Jade: Didn't even think about it...
V.E: Well, since it was Rif's fault, how about you let us look for her instead?
Rif: Hold on a second!
Jade: Since the number of Strays around here went up, it's gotten pretty dangerous. It'd probably be best if we went out and searched.
Roche: I'm sorry, Miss…
V.E: I'm V.E. This is Rifmonica and Killfith. And he's Jade.
Roche: I’m sorry for the trouble, everyone. There’s a workshop inside, so please feel free to make use of it.
V.E: While we're doing that, can you help us out by letting Murno stay here?
Murno: Eh?
V.E: It could get dangerous outside.
Murno: … All right.
Roche: I understand. I'm sorry for the trouble, but please find my daughter for me.
Jade: No problem. Then, let’s comb through the neighborhood.
Rif: Hey, wait…
(Jade and V.E leave)
Rif: Ugh...
Killfith: Hm? What is it?
Rif: I don't get how it's my fault!
Killfith: How trivial.
Rif: What the heck.
Murno: Good luck out there, Rif.
Rif: Yeah. I guess we're off, then.
