Special conversations

Will into Action

Will into Action - Opening

Yukimura	So this is the Aether Keep. It is much larger than I expected it to be. We should move forward as a group to avoid becoming separated.
That's a great idea. It is a mysterious floating island, after all. We came to explore. It would look bad if we got lost in the process!		Mozu
Azura	Indeed. We know nothing of this area or what kinds of monsters could be lurking about.
M-m-monsters?! Like...dangerous monsters?! I'm sure there are no such creatures here.		Hayato
Yukimura	It is my understanding that the Aether Keep remains shrouded in mystery.
I heard strange things about it too. They don't know why, but all sorts of crops grow well here. Even Dragonflowers that can grant Heroes more power! The soil here must be exceptional and real nutrient rich.		Mozu
Hayato	Is this truly that enigmatic a place? Yukimura, this is your fault! You told Commander Anna that we wanted to explore the Aether Keep. Look at us now, doomed to wander the mysterious grounds of this potentially dangerous castle!
With so much still unexplained about the Aether Keep, it can currently only be utilized in a limited capacity. Imagine if we could learn how to control it and move it anywhere we wished. That alone would be a boon that could give Askr an advantage in future conflicts. Don't you agree?		Yukimura
Azura	Do you think it might be possible to control this place? That would be an impressive feat.
Hey, Yukimura, you said you got the map you're holding from Commander Anna, right? Do you think we can trust it knowing there's so much mystery still hanging over this place?		Mozu
Yukimura	I have yet to find any problems with it...aside from this door.
What do you mean? It looks like any other door to me.		Hayato
Azura	May I look at the map? Oh, I see your point. This door is not on the map.

Will into Action - C

Mozu	Based on the map, there shouldn’t be a door where we are, but...
Strange things do happen. Though it is quite possible that whoever made the map simply missed it. Or perhaps this door appeared here after they came through.		Azura
Hayato	S-stop saying creepy things!
Whatever the case may be, we have no reference for this door or where it may lead. How shall we proceed?		Yukimura
Hayato	There’s no need to think so hard about it. Obviously, we will stay away from this suspicious thing.
As a creator of technologies like my automatons, I find this floating castle extremely fascinating. I would very much like to know how it stays airborne. What does it use as a power source? How does it work? But I have been told that even the people of Askr know little about it.		Yukimura
Mozu	Even the Order of Heroes doesn’t understand it, but they’ve build hot springs and a concert hall here. They’re sure ambitious, aren’t they?
And now we have a mysterious door that is not on the map from their explorations before us. There may be secrets of the Aether Keep waiting to be discovered on the other side.		Yukimura
Hayato	No! We have no idea what might be on the other side of that door. I am against opening it! Don’t be in such a hurry to stick your neck into possible danger!
Heheh... Yeah, I mean, imagine if there was some terrifying ghost or monster waiting on the other side!		Mozu
Hayato	What?! I am absolutely not afraid of anything like that! I am only saying it is reckless to go looking for trouble when we have no need to go that way!
Wait a second... I feel some kind of presence. I think it is coming from the other side of that door.		Azura
Hayato	A p-presence? What did I tell you?! There’s probably a terrifying monster waiting beyond there.
It’s all right. I don’t sense aggression. What is this? Such a strange feeling...		Azura
Yukimura	We cannot know until we see it with our own eyes. I think we should try to open it and go through.
Yeah! If we go back without finding out what’s behind this door, we’ll learn nothing from our exploration!		Mozu
Azura	Well, Hayato, do you wish to wait here alone?
Urgh! You leave me no choice. I will accompany you...for your safety, of course. Y-you should be grateful!		Hayato

Will into Action - B

Hayato	It’s fine that we went through the door, but...there’s something strange about this passage, isn’t there? I’m not scared or anything! I just think it could be dangerous to underestimate our environment!
Interesting how the light from outside appears not to reach here at all. We should proceed with caution.		Yukimura
Azura	Yes. I am still feeling that strange presence. I wonder what it is?
You’re right. It’s less like someone’s here than like the whole space feels off somehow... Argh! I don’t like this!		Hayato
Mozu	Yeah, I can feel it too. The presence gets stronger the farther we go. This is creepy... Yukimura, do you think we should turn back?
What?! Watch out! There’s a massive gout of flame up ahead!		Yukimura
Mozu	What’s going on?! There are flames behind us too! We’re surrounded!
Be careful! I see a group of warriors beyond the flames! Are they enemies?! Everyone, get ready to fight!		Hayato
Azura	Wait. Something feels particular.
Wh-what’s happening? The warriors are striking at each other. Are they quarreling amongst themselves?		Hayato
Yukimura	It does look as if they have divided into two forces to fight. They seem unaware of us.
Hold on! If you look closely, you can see through them! Do you think these warriors are ghosts that live here?		Mozu
Hayato	C-calm down! We have to keep our wits about us!
You are the only one who is not calm.		Azura
Hayato	Look! The warriors are slowly fading away. Was it just an illusion of some kind?
I think it was a little too vivid to call it a mere illusion.		Yukimura
Azura	Is it possible that we just saw an event that occurred in the past? We may have unlocked a memory within the Aether Keep.
Really? Can a castle have memories the way people do? Surely not... Then again, it is a mysterious flying castle. This is kind of out of my realm of experience.		Mozu
Hayato	A memory? Is that all? I was ready to send them flying with my magic, but... no need now, since they disappeared. Now then, I vote that we go ahead and put this strange place behind us. Shall we?
Huh? Speaking of behind you... Hayato, is someone standing there?		Mozu
Hayato	Ha! If you’re trying to scare me, too bad. I’m not falling for it. We are the only ones here...
...		???
Hayato	Aaah!!! Someone’s here!

Will into Action - A

Candace	Hey, what’s that about?! Screaming in someone’s face the moment you see them. Aren’t you the rude one?!
What did you say?! You’re the one who popped up out of nowhere. That makes you the one who’s rude! What are you even doing wandering this place all alone?!		Hayato
Candace	That’s a stupid question. I am a genius and an explorer! I am none other than Candace, the notorious treasure hunter! Obviously, I’m hunting for treasure!
You’re here to explore the Aether Keep then, just like us!		Mozu
Candace	It would be strange not to want to explore this flying castle Askr is so proud of, don’t you think?
Yes, I understand that sentiment well.		Yukimura
Candace	I was looking into this Aether Keep all over the place, but... I realized that, no matter how you slice it, Askr’s technology couldn’t have created this castle. The way I see it, this technology must be from another world.
I have heard that people from many worlds come together in Askr. Therefore, it is possible that it was suspended in the sky with technology from another world, as you suggest. That possibility alone makes it worthwhile to have come here, I would say.		Yukimura
Candace	Speaking of coming here, how exactly did you get into this passageway? The door I came through was locked. It took a bit of effort for me to get through it.
We found a door that wasn’t on our map and came in that way.		Hayato
Mozu	Right! There’s an entrance on the other side of this passage.
The other side of the passage? What are you talking about? That’s a dead end behind you.		Candace
Azura	What’s happening here? The passage we walked down has disappeared.
What?! When did it become a wall?! Maybe we really did encounter some mysterious power.		Mozu
Hayato	Wh-what’s that?!
The battle that seemed to be a memory of the castle may have also been the work of that strange power.		Yukimura
Hayato	Th-that’s impossible.
It sounds like I may have a new ghost story to tell Sakura.		Azura
Hayato	I don’t believe... I refuse to believe such a thing could be true! I won’t accept it! I’ve seen enough!

Hayato: Diviner of Reppu

Hayato: Diviner of Reppu - C

Orochi	Look who it is! Hey, Hayato!
Is that you, Orochi? What a strange thing it is to meet someone I know in another world.		Hayato
Orochi	*chuckle* I see you were summoned to Askr too.
Yes. I heard Askr has been involved in military conflicts with foreign adversaries for a long time. Heh, now that I will be lending them my aid, I surmise they no longer need to fear the enemies they face.		Hayato
Orochi	Oho... I see you’re as confident in your magic as ever.
Why wouldn’t I be? They would have been better off had they summoned me from the start.		Hayato
Orochi	I admit, you’re a talented mage, and quite knowledgeable about herbs and the brewing of potions. But there are skilled dark mages in Askr from other worlds. Like how Nyx is similar to a diviner, but from Nohr. What do you say? Want to meet some of them? You might learn a thing or two from the experience.
I have reached the pinnacle one can achieve as a spellcaster. There is nothing for me to learn from others.		Hayato
Orochi	That’s too bad. I thought it might be an interesting opportunity to see how different places do things.
Hm, I suppose meeting these mages from other worlds could be good for a bit of entertainment. And a chance to reaffirm for myself just how exceptional I am.		Hayato
Orochi	Heheh, now that’s what I wanted to hear. Your motive doesn’t matter, as long as you go meet some of them. I look forward to hearing who you talk to and what you think of them afterward.

Hayato: Diviner of Reppu - B

Tharja	Aha! Who’s this?
So this is a Plegian dark mage? She and Nyx dress similarly. Perhaps she is also something like a diviner.		Hayato
Tharja	Ahh, Robin...
Are you the dark mage, Tharja? Is there some reason you’re lurking in those shadows?		Hayato
Tharja	Who do you think you are? I was minding my own business. You should do the same. Go away!
What?! We just met and you’re trying to start a fight with me already! I’m sorry if I interrupted an important spell you were casting or something.		Hayato
Tharja	Are you now? Not that it makes any difference to me.
What have you been looking at so intensely? Is someone over there? Oh, I see. You’re planning to cast a spell on them, aren’t you? That’s why you’re hiding?		Hayato
Tharja	You have no idea what you’re talking about. I love Robin. I think about Robin all the time, so I’m just...staying close.
Hm? So you don’t intend to cast a spell? Then why are you hiding? It is better to be bold.		Hayato
Tharja	What’s wrong with staying in the shadows and watching? A child like you is much too young to understand matters of the heart. Now get lost. Go home.
Wh-what did you call me?! I’ll have you know, I’m a full grown adult! Don’t treat me like a child!		Hayato
Tharja	Ahh... Robin. You’re so wonderful today, as you always are!
H-hey! Are you ignoring me?!		Hayato
Tharja	Yes. You’re annoying. If you keep getting in my way, I will use all my power to place a death curse on you.
Whoa?! Um, all right. I will withdraw for today. What a reaction. Did she really intend to curse me? I’m glad Hoshido hasn’t got any diviners like Tharja.		Hayato

Hayato: Diviner of Reppu - A

Hayato	That Tharja was very rude! Where does she get off treating me like a child that way! Not to mention threatening to use a death curse on me. That was a huge overreaction. Hmph. I hear that mage over there is also from Plegia. I certainly hope he isn’t like her.
Yes? Is there something you want from me? Do you need someone cursed or something?		Henry
Hayato	Uh... Are you Henry, a mage from Plegia? It appears as though we may be around the same age. My reason for seeking you out is nothing so menacing. I just came to ask you about Plegia’s magic.
Ah! You’re a mage too, are you? What do you want to ask me, then? I’ll teach you anything.		Henry
Hayato	That’s a relief. You seem to be a lot more friendly than Tharja. I was worried Plegia didn’t have any normal magic users like diviners.
Rest assured, I’m just your ordinary, everyday dark mage. Oh! Why don’t you show me your spellcasting skills!		Henry
Hayato	I’m not surprised you want to see my techniques. You’re in for a treat! What shall I demonstrate for you?
Hmm... I don’t know, why don’t you place a death curse on the next individual who passes by?		Henry
Hayato	That’s an easy enough task... As if I’d do that! What good would come of me killing an ally?!
What good... Oh, I suppose you’re right. It wouldn’t be wise to reduce our allies’ numbers. All right, then why don’t you curse them, but not to die? Merely make them suffer in agony.		Henry
Hayato	Wh-what are you asking?! I’m not going to do that!
Too easy, I suppose. Let’s try this. You could curse the Order of Heroes as a whole. I’ll help.		Henry
Hayato	No! I’m saying that’s not all right! It has nothing to do with how simple or difficult the spell is! There are things that are acceptable for people to do, and other things that you should never do.
Huh? So, you’re saying you don’t want to inflict a harmful curse on anyone in the Order of Heroes?		Henry
Hayato	Yes! That’s it exactly! If you want to see harmful spellcasting, I’ll show you on the battlefield! Got it?! On the battlefield where it’s appropriate. Please try to avoid cursing our allies, all right? I-I’m going to take my leave for now. Goodbye!
What? You’re leaving already? But I wanted to see your magic.		Henry

Hayato: Diviner of Reppu - S

Hayato	I’m done for today... What is going on with Plegia’s mages?! Don’t they have normal, sensible magic users outside of those in Hoshido and Nohr?
Hey! What’s wrong, Hayato? You look a little pale.		Orochi
Hayato	N-no I do not. I am perfectly fine.
Oh, that’s good, then. So, did you meet any of the spellcasters from other worlds?		Orochi
Hayato	Y-yes. I met some from Plegia. It was my first time interacting with mages like them, but... I did confirm for myself the heights I have reached as a diviner by meeting them.
Hm. Your accomplishments as a diviner aside, did you get anything meaningful out of the experience?		Orochi
Hayato	Leaving the Wind Tribe village has taught me a great deal about the outside world. Meeting the two of them made me reconsider how vast and diverse the world really is.
*chuckle* That’s the important thing. I suspect even more spellcasters will come to Askr in the future. For my part, I can’t wait to see what other kinds of magic users I’ll meet!		Orochi
Hayato	Ahh! I can’t handle any more weird mages like Tharja and Henry! No! This is unacceptable, Orochi! I am enough! The Order of Heroes has no need to bring in more magic users!
Really? I would think the more power we have at our disposal in battle the better, but...		Orochi
Hayato	That is absolutely not true! I will find a way to handle everything by myself! Don’t bring any more strange folks from other worlds here than you already have, Summoner!

Yukimura: Puppet Master

Yukimura: Puppet Master - C

Yukimura	...Thus concludes my proposal for how we should approach this battle.
Taking advantage of the cavalry’s mobility to bait the enemy army is a sound strategy.		August
Bastian	I should have expected Hoshido’s tactician would concoct an illustrious plan that minimizes injury to our side!
I fully support this strategy as well. It may put additional burden on the cavalry, however...		Ena
August	As Yukimura said, this operation requires a swift advance. That will only be possible with the cavalry.
And so is the path to victory now visible before us. We must hasten to notify the army of the plan.		Bastian
Ena	Why don’t we have Yukimura take command, as the one who devised this strategy?
Excellent idea. Leave the rest of it to us.		August
Yukimura	Understood. I will go to the front lines with the cavalry.
Yukimura	I am impressed by how smoothly they executed the plan. Order of Heroes, indeed. What really stood out to me in the cavalry’s efforts was... Wait! What is that?! Could that be a... a mechanical steed?!
There! That should do it! Most of the enemy forces should have been lured out as per the plan!		Reginn
Yukimura	It looks like mechanical horse armor!
Whoa?! What’s going on?!		Reginn
Yukimura	Such incredible speed! None of the automatons in Hoshido can move that fast! Ah, I see! The exterior appears quite durable, yet the interior houses many more delicate parts and controls.
Um... It’s Yukimura, isn’t it? You were recently summoned... Is my Gullinbursti that fascinating?		Reginn
Yukimura	What?! Oh! Are you Princess Reginn of Niðavellir? Please forgive me for my terrible manners!

Yukimura: Puppet Master - B

Yukimura	I actually construct automatons myself, you see.
Like the one you’re holding, right? It’s so cute!		Reginn
Yukimura	This is just a scaled-down version. I also make them large enough to be ridden into battle.
Ridden into battle... You mean, like the Gullinbursti?		Reginn
Yukimura	“Gullinbursti” is what this automaton horse is called? Not only is it impressive as armor, but it also has remarkable mobility. What a splendidly versatile creation!
Thanks! It was made in Niðavellir.		Reginn
Yukimura	Niðavellir... They must possess advanced technology if they can make this.
Niðavellir’s current civilization is the result of seiðjárn. My Gullinbursti was made using that technology.		Reginn
Yukimura	Seiðjárn? I am unfamiliar, but I see the country flourished through the development of a unique technology. The more I hear, the more fascinated I become!
It’s a pleasure to meet someone so interested in Niðavellir and seiðjárn!		Reginn
Yukimura	If you don’t mind, I would like to take a closer look at the Gullinbursti when we return to the castle.
Sure thing! Consider it my thanks for coming up with the plan that gave us our victory today!		Reginn

Yukimura: Puppet Master - A

Yukimura	So this is Gullinbursti... Amazing! This mechanism here, it uses magic as a supplemental source of power. So this is what can be achieved by combining magic and science!
I hope you discover something useful. What do you think? Is there anything you can learn from it?		Reginn
Yukimura	Indeed! One discovery after another! The more I look, the more shocked I am by this innovative technology! My heart races at the mere thought of how I might use this in my own creations!
Hehe, happy to hear it! I’m glad it’s proving to be an inspiring reference for you.		Reginn
Yukimura	You have my gratitude, Princess Reginn. I will put this knowledge to work improving my automatons!
Yukimura	Hmm... So this part here... No... Perhaps if I tried...
What’s the matter, Yukimura? You don’t look very happy...		Reginn
Yukimura	Princess Reginn! Forgive me, I was so focused I didn’t notice you there. I fear progress toward improving my automatons has reached an impasse.
It must be quite the puzzle to stump you. I wish I could offer some advice, but I’m no expert. If only Eitri were here. She was very well-versed in seiðjárn.		Reginn
Yukimura	Thank you. The sentiment alone is appreciated. I did have one question you could probably answer that came up during my research. How was seiðjárn developed in Niðavellir?
Did you know that Niðavellir is called the realm of the dvergar?		Reginn
Yukimura	Yes. I had heard that the people of Niðavellir are small in stature.
Niðavellir was once ruled over by Jötunheimr, kingdom of the jötnar. The people of Niðavellir developed seiðjárn as a way to fight against the superior strength of Jötunheimr.		Reginn
Yukimura	I was not aware of that history.
It’s sad, but if not for the need to stand against Jötunheimr, I doubt seiðjárn would have ever developed.		Reginn
Yukimura	You are saying war is what led to this advancement in technology. As someone who uses automatons for combat, I have also found this to be the unfortunate truth.
Even knowing that, I really love riding my Gullinbursti.		Reginn
When we’re racing along as fast as the wind, I’m truly grateful for the technology that made it.		Reginn
Yukimura	Yes. How wonderful would it be for that extraordinary technology to be put to use outside of war? ...

Yukimura: Puppet Master - S

Yukimura	Good morning, Princess Reginn!
Oh, Yukimura! I’m pleased to see you looking so cheerful. Last time I saw you, your forehead was bunched up like a drawn curtain! Also, heh, it’s past noon, so it’s not actually morning anymore.		Reginn
Yukimura	Is it that late already? I have been working around the clock to improve my automaton. Hahaha...
What?! You mean you haven’t slept?! You shouldn’t work so hard—you’ll exhaust yourself!		Reginn
Yukimura	You need not worry. It was worth it. I came up with an excellent idea for implementing this new knowledge. I am considering incorporating some kind of charm into my automaton.
A charm?		Reginn
Yukimura	I’m referring to the magic used by diviners, such as fire and lighting. I think I can use it on my automaton.
Wow! You’re just like one of our seiðjárn scholars!		Reginn
Yukimura	I got the idea from your Gullinbursti and everything you told me about it. By combining two powers, one can create a greater synergy.
I’m glad what I told you was helpful!		Reginn
Yukimura	Seiðjárn may have advanced out of necessity because of war as you said. But I intend to use this automaton to support peace in Hoshido.
Really?! I think that’s a fabulous idea! It makes me happy to think that Niðavellir’s technology and culture is being shared with Hoshido. Even more so, knowing it will be used for peace!		Reginn
Yukimura	When civilizations of different worlds come together, it can open the way for new developments. This is why Askr is called the opened kingdom. I would like to use the technology and culture of many worlds for peace in Hoshido, not just Niðavellir.

Azura: Song's Reflection

Azura: Song's Reflection - C

Azura	♪ Lalalaa... La laaa lala... ♪ Hmm... I suppose that is enough for today.
*clap* *clap* *clap*		Leanne
Azura	What’s this? I did not expect an audience in such a remote place. And who might you be?
I am...Leanne... Singing... So pretty!		Leanne
Azura	Why, thank you! That means you’re... the princess of the heron clan, yes?
Y-yes. And you...Azura, songstress... of Hoshido?		Leanne
Azura	Yes, that is correct, I am Azura. It is a pleasure to meet you, Leanne.
I am pleased...to meet you. Your song... So strange... It feels calming... Y-yet...sad. Sorry. I speak...not well...		Leanne
Azura	It’s quite all right. I can sense the admiration in your voice, no matter your words.
Your singing... Makes me feel so much! Can I... May I...hear more?		Leanne
Azura	Of course, do as you like. My next song will be...
Hmm... So that’s the songstress of Hoshido? She’s got a pretty good voice.		Dorothea

Azura: Song's Reflection - B

Azura	♪ Lalalaa La laaa lala... ♪ ...Huh? Who’s there? Is that you, Leanne?
Your singing is truly wonderful. You have my utmost praise!		Dorothea
Azura	Might you be...Dorothea? I have heard about you. The songstress of Fódlan, yes?
Former songstress actually. Dorothea Arnault. Pleased to meet you. Your voice is incredible. Gave me goosebumps! You even charmed a laguz princess.		Dorothea
Azura	Laguz? ...Leanne? Might I ask how you knew she was here?
Oh, sorry about that. I happened to see you two talking earlier, and I heard what she said about you.		Dorothea
Azura	Oh, I see. I didn’t realize my audience numbered more than one at the time.
Forgive me for not speaking up before, Zurry.		Dorothea
Azura	Zurry?
Oh, I hope you don’t mind if I call you that?		Dorothea
Azura	If it pleases you...
Hehe, great! I gotta say, your singing is really wonderful, Zurry! I think it’ll be a great help to the Order of Heroes.		Dorothea
Azura	A great help?
If the Heroes hear your voice before they fight, I’m sure it’ll raise morale.		Dorothea
Azura	Oh... I’m sorry, but I can’t... I only sing with a single person in mind, someone who is dear and precious to me.
A precious person, huh?		Dorothea
Azura	That’s right. One whom I pour my heart out to, however far apart we are. If I were to sing for all the other Heroes, I’m afraid my voice would be quite different. I’m sorry, but I will not be able to live up to your expectations.

Azura: Song's Reflection - A

Dorothea	Ah, what a shame.
I am sorry I let you down.		Azura
Dorothea	No need to apologize. I get it now... You sing for one person, and one person only. That must be why your songs have the power to make people feel so deeply. I do envy you, Zurry.
You...envy me?		Azura
Dorothea	I’ve never had anyone so precious to me, so I’ve never been able to sing the way you do.
Oh...		Azura
Dorothea	I had no family growing up... And no one in Fódlan would tie themselves to someone with no fortune or Crest. Before I joined the opera, I eked out a living on the backstreets, all alone. It was awful.
But...you are so lovely, I would never have guessed where you came from.		Azura
Dorothea	I polished my looks and my voice out of a single desire to escape the tragedy that was my past. I thought if I was a successful songstress, I’d gain favor with wealthy nobles, maybe even marry one. For me, singing was always a means to survive. That’s why I envy you, Zurry—you’re able to sing for someone. For love.
...		Azura

Azura: Song's Reflection - S

Azura	Wow... You really do love to sing, don’t you?
Huh?		Dorothea
Azura	The envy you feel for me would not exist if you did not love singing. If you have truly been singing only for money or status, my voice would not move you the way it does.
Hmm...		Dorothea
Azura	Perhaps you really do have someone important you sing for, the way I sing for Corrin.
You think so? But no one comes to mind.		Dorothea
Azura	I believe it is your future self.
...Me?		Dorothea
Azura	Perhaps you sing while imagining whom you wish to be. And just think... Your voice carried across time to reach the ears of your future self. And now she’s waiting for you.
My...future self? Hehe, that is one way to look at it. I never really liked who I was, or who I am now for that matter.		Dorothea
Azura	I see...
Maybe I was singing as a way to become who I always wanted to be in the future...		Dorothea
Azura	Do you mind if I hear you sing?
Hehe, not at all! But why don’t we sing together this time.		Dorothea
Azura	What a lovely idea! Though, I hope there is a song we both know.
How about the Hymn of the Fire Emblem? It’s well known in Askr.		Dorothea
Azura	Ah yes. I learned it when I first arrived in Askr. Now, let’s both sing to someone dear and precious to us. May our voices reach them, wherever they are.

Mozu: Tragic Start

Mozu: Tragic Start - C

Mozu	This castle sure is big! All these rooms make me dizzy. I’m not so sure I can remember ‘em all.
Everyone says that at first, but I think you’ll adjust quickly.		Fjorm
Mozu	You sure it’s all right for a princess like you to be showin’ a villager like me around the castle?
Please, you are not to worry about that. You are a member of the Order of Heroes. We’re allies. So, you should treat me as such— as an ally, not a princess.		Fjorm
Mozu	If you say so, Princess Fjorm, or... Ally Fjorm? Anyhow, you’re a real friendly person... Huh? Who’s that?
Hello, Princess Fjorm.		Alear
Fjorm	Hello, Alear.
I don’t think I’ve seen you before. Are you new? Perhaps another summoned Hero?		Alear
Fjorm	Yes, this is Mozu, from the kingdom of Hoshido.
H-hi! Nice to meet you!		Mozu
Alear	Nice to meet you too. My name is Alear. I’m the Divine Dragon who protects Elyos.
D-Divine Dragon? Um, I...		Mozu
Alear	Is something wrong, Mozu?
No, no. It’s just... I’m not so used to talkin’ to, you know, important people such as yourself.		Mozu
Alear	No need to be so civil. We’re all allies here—everyone in Askr is equal. Please, be at ease around me.
You mean that?		Mozu
Alear	Of course. Oh! I have a war council to get to. I have to go. But I look forward to getting to know you more, Mozu.
S-sure, yeah, me too! I mean, I look forward to you—yeah... Thanks. He’s so fancy and elegant... And I was just an anxious mess! I’ll be darned if I remember what I said.		Mozu
Fjorm	Alear is actually quite easy to talk to if you can dismiss the fact that many people in Elyos look up to him.
I can sure see why people look up to him! Just seein’ him I could tell how nice he is. But... I’m not so sure about this, Princess Fjorm... I mean, what’s a plain old villager like me doing here around all these fancy Heroes?		Mozu
Fjorm	You’ll be just fine. There are many common folk here, even those who don’t excel at fighting. Everyone here uses their unique talent, whatever it may be, for the betterment of Askr.
My talent is pretty limited to workin’ in the fields, though...		Mozu
Fjorm	If you have a talent for farming, why not make use of that? There is a farm at the castle. If you’d like to work there...
Wow, really?! I’d love to!		Mozu
Fjorm	In that case, I’ll get you permission to farm from Commander Anna.
I can’t believe I get to farm in Askr! I can’t wait to get to work!		Mozu

Mozu: Tragic Start - B

Fjorm	Hello, Mozu. How is the farm coming along?
Princess Fjorm! I’m happy to report it’s lookin’ real good!		Mozu
Fjorm	Such a wide variety of seedlings, and many have already sprouted in good health too! Great work, Mozu.
All thanks to this mighty fine soil in Askr! It’s soft, holds water well, and still’s got perfect drainage! I’ve got so many ideas for all the wonderful crops I can grow in this soil. Just you wait!		Mozu
Fjorm	I look forward to the harvest! I’m certain all the Heroes do as well. You’ll sure make them happy.
Yeah, I-I guess so...		Mozu
Fjorm	...Mozu? Is something wrong?
I’ve got no complaints about how it’s turnin’ out, but... Is plowin’ the field really enough for me to fit in with the Order of Heroes? I try to help out in battles, but it feels the same as when I was back in the village, like I just can’t do enough. I’d hate to disappoint the summoner, since it must have been enough trouble just bringin’ me here.		Mozu
Nephenee	I don’t believe you need to worry about that.
Huh?		Mozu
Fjorm	Oh, Nephenee! Have you come to see Mozu’s field as well?
Y-yes... I have never seen such a nice field in Askr. I couldn’t help but to call it out. It’s...remarkable.		Nephenee
Mozu	Really?! You can tell just by looking at it?
I, too, did some farming back in Tellius, ya see—you see... So I can tell by seeing this field just how devoted you are to your work. No doubt about it, this here’s the... This is the best field in the kingdom. Ya sh... I mean, you should be proud!		Nephenee
Fjorm	Wow, isn’t that great, Mozu?! It seems the people who know about farming recognize your talent.
Y-ya mean it? I’m so happy to hear that!		Mozu
Nephenee	This here field... I mean, this field will make a good reference for those who come from other worlds.
This sure gives me a boost of confidence! I’ll do my best not to let you down. Thanks, Nephenee!		Mozu

Mozu: Tragic Start - A

Azura	Oh, thank goodness it’s over! That fight was intense, but at least we made it out alive.
Indeed. It took far longer than I predicted.		Hayato
Yukimura	Such is the case when the enemies perceive it as a life-or-death situation. They spare no effort.
I can’t wait to return to the castle and clean up.		Azura
Mozu	...
Yes, Mozu? Do tell—what is that grimace about?		Hayato
Mozu	Ya see, I’m worried about my field... After I’ve been away so long, the crops may be runnin’ wild, or worse...
Oh... You didn’t ask anyone to care for it while you were away?		Azura
Mozu	No. I didn’t think the battle would last as long as it did.
Hmm... Even Yukimura, a tactician, could not predict such a long, fierce battle.		Hayato
Yukimura	I am ashamed I miscalculated...
Ah gee... I’m sorry I made you feel bad all ‘cause I didn’t ask for help. I just thought... it’s my farm, it’s my responsibility. But I should’ve asked somebody to look after it. I’m such a dummy!		Mozu
Azura	Mozu, now is no time to regret. For now, all we can do is get back to the castle. We don’t know what state it’s in, not until we see the farm for ourselves.
Exactly! And if it is in a dire state, there could still be time to fix it.		Yukimura
Mozu	Yeah... Maybe you’re right...
Mozu	*pant* I’m so sorry, my sweet, sweet farm! I should never’ve abandoned you like that! Just you wait. I’ll water you right away, clear those weeds, and give you some fertilizer! Huh? Wait... Why do you look so darn good?
Ah... Welcome back.		Nephenee
Mozu	Whoa! You ‘bout scared me to death! Whatcha doin’ here?

Mozu: Tragic Start - S

Mozu	Wait... You took care of the farm for me, Nephenee?
Sure did... I tended to it while you were away. Though, I’m sorry I didn’t ask first... I got to thinkin’... I mean, I thought it would be a shame to let such a fine farm go to waste.		Nephenee
Mozu	No need to apologize! I’m mighty grateful you stepped in! And look at it... It looks darn healthy!
Well, it wasn’t just me... Lots of others helped out, like Donnel, Saizo, and Princess Fjorm! Even though the princess ain’t—she’s not used to this...type of work, she spared no effort on your farm.		Nephenee
Mozu	Really?! I can’t believe so many people pitched in to help...
Yes, everyone knows how much you care for this farm.		Nephenee
Mozu	But for them to step up and get their hands dirty all for this farm... It’s just so... *sniffle*
Mozu... Why are you crying?		Nephenee
Mozu	I can’t help it. I’m just so grateful! Ya see, I’ve had not a lick of confidence since I set foot in Askr... I wasn’t sure a village girl like me, whose only talent is farming, could fit in with the Heroes. Y’all say we’re equals, but I didn’t feel that way...
Oh?		Nephenee
Mozu	Not till I saw how everyone took such good care of my farm. I feel like people really do think of me as an equal ally. Maybe I do have somethin’ to offer here.
Seeing how hard you work really raises people’s spirits. And this fine farm... I am glad this farm has brought us together.		Nephenee
Mozu	Hey, do you think it’d be all right if I asked you for help on the farm again sometime?
Sure would! What with us bein’ allies and all.		Nephenee
Mozu	Oh, Nephenee... I have a feelin’ we’re gonna be real good friends. And I’ll try to be myself with the other Heroes too! Whaddaya say? Let’s give it our best shot!
