Whatever It Takes!
(Captain) and company are about to help an elderly woman with her heavy bag, but a Harvin girl beats them to it. She turns out to be Bridgette, a new member of the Lumiel Order of Holy Knights, and this inexperienced fighter joins the crew after seeing them in action.
After finishing a mission, (Captain) and company are returning to their airship.
On the way there, they come across an old woman carrying a very heavy-looking bag.
Lyria: (Captain), why don't we help her out with that?
Vyrn: Huh? Looks like we won't have to.
Lyria is at first puzzled, but then she looks back at the old woman and sees a small girl approaching her.
???: Madam! Madam! If you require assistance, I'd be more than willing to help you with your luggage!
Old Woman: Oh, thank you, kind stranger... Huh? Why, you're still such a little thing!
Old Woman: You sound so grown-up that I really expected someone a bit older.
???: That's kind of you to say, but my size is actually due to the fact that I'm a Harvin!
Old Woman: Thank you for the concern, but I should be fine. I really couldn't ask someone so small to carry such a heavy bag.
???: Worry not! Carrying that is really no trouble at all, so please let me help you!
???: I'm well aware of my limits! And your bag is well within my capabilities!
The girl proudly takes the bag from the old woman and puts everything she has into carrying it.
???: Heave-ho, here I go!
Heave-ho, here I go!
Old Woman: Well, I never... Hee-hee. Thank you kindly, little stranger.
Lyria: Wow, what a kind girl!
Vyrn: Yeah! It looks like the old woman's bag is in good hands.
???: Eek!
Just as the crew members turn to leave, they hear the girl scream.
Vyrn: What was that? Did something happen?
The crew hurries back and finds a gang of armed ruffians standing before the two women.
Ruffian 1: Ha-ha! We'll be taking that big ol' sack of goodies if you don't mind!
Ruffian 2: Heh-heh... Hand it over, and we might just spare your lives!
???: Ugh...
Old Woman: Little miss, save yourself. I'll be fine...
Lyria: Oh no! (Captain), we have to help them!
Just as (Captain) nods in agreement and dashes toward the group, the Harvin shouts.
???: Absolutely not! I refuse! I shall not leave you alone with these curs!
Ruffian 2: Huh? Are you seriously gonna try to fight us?
Ruffian 1: Heh-heh... That's quite a sexy voice you've got, but you're still nothing but a little runt. Come back when you've grown up a bit.
Ruffian 2: Ha-ha! Right! Now hurry up and give us the bag! Just try and stop us, little runt!
???: I'm afraid I can't do that either! I don't think there's any way I could defeat you two!
Ruffian 1: Huh?
???: But I can't leave this poor old woman alone, nor can I allow you to steal her possessions.
???: It goes against my very nature! Madam, run! I'll fend off these fiends long enough for you to escape!
Old Woman: Oh... You'd do that for me?
Ruffian 1: Well, if you really wanna get crushed that bad, we'll help you out! Heh-heh!
Ruffian: Oof!
Without wasting another moment, (Captain) leaps into the fray and strikes at the ruffians to protect the girl.
Vyrn: Ha-ha! I like your moxie, Miss Bowl Cut! But we'll take it from here!
(Captain) makes quick work of the ruffians.
???: Wow! Amazing! Truly amazing!
The crew delivers the ruffians to the authorities and then makes sure the old woman gets to where she was going.
???: You were most helpful! Thank you so much!
Vyrn: Heh-heh. Don't mention it! You showed some serious guts back there! I could hardly believe it!
???: People do often tell me that my heart's in the right noble place at least!
???: But I still have much to learn. Though I know what to do in my heart, my abilities often aren't enough to follow through.
???: I have a request I must ask of you travelers! I'd like you to train me!
Vyrn: What? That's a bit sudden, isn't it? We don't even know your name!
???: Apologies! I don't know what gets into me sometimes.
Bridgette: My name is Bridgette, and I'm a new recruit to the Lumiel Order of Holy Knights. It's a genuine pleasure to meet you.
The crew members introduce themselves and then allow Bridgette to continue.
Bridgette: I joined the order to be closer to my idol, Charlotta. One day I hope to be as impressive as her.
Bridgette: But I'm still so weak! So unready for this responsibility!
The somber knight explains that her weakness prevents her from fulfilling her chivalrous duties.
Vyrn: Okay, I think I get it now. But why ask (Captain) to help you train?
Lyria: Um... Couldn't you ask the other knights in your order to help you?
Bridgette: They keep mistaking me for a squire, and they rarely help me train.
Bridgette: So I started training by myself. But I can barely do ten push-ups...
Bridgette: That's why I need your help, (Captain)! I saw how strong you are in battle!
Bridgette: With you by my side, I just know I'll find the strength I need!
Bridgette: So I implore you to train me! Give me something easy enough for even me to do!
Vyrn: Hmm... It's not like we don't feel for you, but we're kinda in the middle of something.
Bridgette: I see... Then I'll temporarily leave the Order of Holy Knights and join you on your quest!
Lyria: What? W-will that be okay with your superiors?
Bridgette: Captain Charlotta is a generous and gracious person. She'll grant me permission for sure!
Bridgette: Besides, I'll carry the motto of the Order of Holy Knights with me wherever I go! Forever pure, forever righteous!
Bridgette: So don't worry about it! Just take me with you!
Vyrn: Hmm... What do you think, (Captain)?
Bridgette: Once I've grown sufficiently strong, I'll rejoin the order!
Bridgette: So it's not like I'll impose on you permanently! Will you please do this for me?
- Welcome to the crew.
- I'm not gonna go easy on you.
Choose: Welcome to the crew.Vyrn: Right! We could never refuse someone who's so bent on this!
Bridgette: Really? Thank you so much! Words can't express what this means to me!
Choose: I'm not gonna go easy on you.Bridgette: Really? I was sort of hoping you could offer me training at my level...
Bridgette: But wait... Does that mean I'm part of the crew? You're really going to train me?
(Captain) nods and smiles at Bridgette's surprise.
Bridgette: Yay! You've just made me the happiest Harvin in the skies! I can't thank you enough!
Continue 1Bridgette: You know, I happen to love cleaning! I'll have your airship sparkling in no time!
Bridgette: I'm willing to do anything for the chance to train with you, (Captain)!
Vyrn: Glad to have you aboard!
And so the inexperienced yet plucky knight Bridgette joins the crew.
The crew returns to the airship with its enthusiastic new member.
Too Scary
(Captain) and company tell Bridgette, who constantly cleans and does laundry, to take a break sometimes, but she apparently doesn't know how. When she asks them to teach her, they take her to a nearby town.
Bridgette is scurrying about, busily cleaning the airship one day.
Bridgette: There we go! No more nasty grime on these walls! And now for the floor! I'll make it sparkle!
Bridgette has been taking care of the cleaning and laundry every day, and the crew is very impressed.
Lyria: Hee-hee! Bridgette really loves things to be clean, doesn't she? It seems like she's always cleaning.
Vyrn: Yeah, but don't you think she's overworking herself a bit? All she ever does is clean!
Lyria: Hmm... Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen Bridgette not working.
Vyrn: Listen, Miss Bowl Cut, don't you think you oughta take a break every now and then? You don't have to clean so much!
Bridgette: Thanks for your concern, but cleaning happens to be a hobby of mine! Cleanliness of the spirit starts with cleanliness of the home!
Vyrn: Hmm... But I really think it's important to take a break and have some fun once in a while if you really wanna be strong.
At Vyrn's words, Bridgette stops scrubbing the floor and looks up.
Bridgette: Really? Then I should take a break!
Bridgette: Oh... But I don't think I've ever actually done that before.
Vyrn: What? Then what'd you do on your last day off?
Lyria: Um... Let me guess... You were cleaning or doing the laundry?
Bridgette: Yes! As I told you, cleaning and laundry are hobbies of mine!
Vyrn: Sigh... I don't know if I should be impressed or shocked.
Bridgette: Um... I'd like to try taking a break for once! Please teach me something fun even I can handle!
Vyrn: Hmm... Now that you've put me on the spot, I can't really think of anything...
Lyria: Why don't we start by taking a little trip into town? There might be something fun to do there!
The crew agrees with her suggestion and heads to a nearby town.
Too Scary: Scene 2
The town turns out to be full of storytellers, and Bridgette is as eager as ever to help people in need. The crew soon ends up hunting goblins to retrieve a book stolen from a storyteller by them.
When (Captain) and company reach the town, they find it to be a strange place indeed.
Storyteller 1: Ha-ha! Come one, come all, and listen to the story of a strange man and his strange life!
Storyteller 2: Heh-heh... Have you heard the legend of the giant fish?
The town is full of storytellers and bards, and everyone seems to be listening to or telling a tale.
Bridgette: This town seems like tons of fun! Come on, (Captain)! Let's check it out!
Bridgette bounces around excitedly, and the crew wanders through the town with her, listening to all the stories.
Bridgette: Listening to the experiences of others is a great way to enrich one's own life! This town is wonderful!
Townsperson: Oho! Hi there, little lady. I'm glad to hear you've taken a liking to our town.
Bridgette: Indeed I have! This town is so much fun! Um... Are you all right? You seem rather preoccupied with something. Do you want to talk?
Townsperson: Oh, that's very sweet of you. To tell you the truth, this town's most famous storyteller has been missing for a while.
Townsperson: She might be lost, or maybe something even worse happened to her...
Lyria: I see. No wonder you're so worried.
Bridgette: I'll go look for her! And when I find her, I'll bring her here!
Townsperson: Goodness, you're too kind! But I can't possibly ask you to do this for free. I'll prepare a reward for you.
Bridgette: That won't be necessary! Helping others is its own reward!
Bridgette struts off proudly and heads out of the city in search of the storyteller.
Lyria: Say, (Captain)! Let's help her out!
(Captain) nods, and off they go after Bridgette.
After walking down the path for some time, the crew encounters an upset-looking woman sitting on the side of the road.
Bridgette: What's wrong? Are you feeling sick?
Female Storyteller: No, it's nothing like that. I just don't know what to do.
The upset woman turns out to be the missing storyteller. She tells the crew that she was waylaid by goblins on her way to town.
Though she wasn't hurt, the goblins stole the bag containing her book of stories.
Female Storyteller: Sigh... That book... It had stories I heard all over the world in it. It was the only one of its kind.
Female Storyteller: Ugh... I mean, I can still tell stories without it, but just the thought of going on without that book is almost too much to bear.
Bridgette: I see... Then I shall seek out those monsters! And when I find them, I'll do everything I can to get that bag back!
Lyria: Yeah! And we'll help too! Don't you worry, miss!
Female Storyteller: Thank you. It would really mean the world to me.
Relieved, the woman tells the crew which way the monsters went, and they hurry off in that direction.
The crew soon comes upon a group of goblins gleefully rummaging through a bag.
Bridgette: Aha! So you're the culprits! Hand over that bag quietly, you curs!
Goblin: Geee, geee!
Bridgette: Eek!
Bridgette: (Captain)! I don't believe I can beat these things! I do think they'll soundly thrash me!
Bridgette: So please help me fight them!
Unable to ignore Bridgette's desperate plea, (Captain) prepares to fight the goblins.
Too Scary: Scene 3
After returning the book, the grateful storyteller offers to tell a tale as a reward, but Bridgette hastily stops her because the book turns out to be full of ghost stories. When the mischievous storyteller refuses to relent, Bridgette retreats in a hurry.
After defeating the goblins, the crew checks the contents of the stolen bag and finds a single black book.
Bridgette: I feel bad going through her stuff, but we really should check to make sure nothing is damaged!
Bridgette briskly opens the book.
Bridgette: Gasp!
All the color instantly drains from her face, and she slams the book shut.
Lyria: Um... Is something wrong?
Bridgette: Nope! Nope! Nothing's wrong! The book is absolutely fine! Let's hurry and return it to the nice lady!
Vyrn: Huh? Is she okay? She looks like she saw a ghost or something.
Bridgette seems to be in a hurry to get back to the storyteller, so the crew follows her, somewhat concerned.
They go back to the storyteller, tell her that her things were safe and sound, and return her bag.
The woman checks the contents and heaves a huge sigh of relief. Then she turns and bows deeply to the crew.
Female Storyteller: Thank you! Thank you so much! I don't know what I would have done without this!
Female Storyteller: Hee-hee! As thanks, I'll tell you a story right here and now!
Bridgette: Gasp!
Female Storyteller: Hee-hee... Not to blow my own horn, but my stories leave quite an impression. I bet I'll have you hanging on my every word.
Vyrn: Wow, really? Heh-heh! Then I'd love to hea—
Bridgette: N-no thanks! I'm afraid we must regrettably decline!
Lyria: What? What's the matter, Bridgette? What's gotten into you?
Bridgette: Um... Well, I don't mind ghosts. You know, like looking at them or being around them...
Bridgette: But I can't stand ghost stories! They're just so scary...
Lyria: What? Gh-ghost stories?
Vyrn: Huh? So you specialize in ghost stories, Ms. Storyteller?
Female Storyteller: Yes, that's right. This book contains ghost stories from all over the world.
Female Storyteller: Hee-hee! Are you sure you don't want me to tell you one? It'll get your blood pumping! I admit that it'll be scary, but it'll be fun too.
Lyria: Ugh... I'm no good with scary stuff either, but I am curious...
Bridgette: N-not me! No way!
Female Storyteller: Aw... Now that's a shame... I'd love to hear some more terror in that sexy voice of yours, little one.
Female Storyteller: Hee-hee! And your reaction's so adorable. C'mon, I want to thank you for getting my book back. Will you let me tell you a story? Pretty please?
With a wolfish grin, the woman cradles her book and slowly steps toward Bridgette, who begins to tremble.
Bridgette: H-helping others is i-its own reward! I-it's really fine!
Bridgette: Oh, wait! I just remembered! I missed a spot when I was cleaning! I n-need to leave now!
Female Storyteller: Hee-hee! I like her. Maybe I'll put her in one of my stories. A ghost story of course.
Female Storyteller: Hee-hee! Once I finish writing it, please do come by to hear it, okay? And bring her with you.
Lyria: Ha-ha... Um... I'll let her know.
The crew bid farewell to the woman and her wicked giggle, and then they notice that Bridgette is nowhere in sight, apparently because she fled at full speed.
They go after her, and (Captain) weighs the pros and cons of ghost story-based training for her on the way.
Lessons from a Veteran Knight
Baotorda is giving Bridgette some sword training, but she soon gives up. During a break, he prepares her a Little Skyfarer's Lunch, but she announces she cannot eat it. Baotorda questions the prudence of admitting defeat before even attempting a challenge, causing Bridgette to reflect on her bad habits. She eats heartily before launching herself back into training with renewed purpose.
Bridgette: Pant... Pant... Here I... come!
Bridgette: Yah! Huff... Pant...
Baotorda: That won't do. Your strokes are crooked. Focus, Bridgette.
Bridgette is receiving sword training from Baotorda.
Both once belonged to the Lumiel Order of Holy Knights, but they only met each other in person a short while ago...
One day, as she cleans the Grandcypher deck, Bridgette spots a familiar figure and stops dead in her tracks, the soapy rag falling from her nerveless fingers.
Bridgette: Oh my! You're... Baotorda, of the Lumiel Order of Holy Knights, aren't you?
Baotorda: Yes... And you are?
Bridgette: My name is Bridgette. I joined the order, but had to resign under certain circumstances!
As Baotorda is taken aback by this rather abrupt self-introduction, Bridgette explains her situation in detail.
After he has listened, Baotorda seems persuaded by her story and gives his own in turn.
Bridgette: I can scarcely believe that someone like you would withdraw from the order as well...
Baotorda: I do not regret the decision. I merely remained true to my principles.
Bridgette: Goodness! J-Just as one would expect from an officer of your caliber. Yes, indeed!
Bridgette: Um! I'm rather ashamed to ask this of you when we've only just met, but... Would you be willing to train me?
Baotorda agrees, and training begins.
Bridgette: Urgh... I think I've reached my limit... I can't possibly lift my sword again...
Baotorda: Hmm... You do realize you've only made five sword strokes so far? You should aim for at least a hundred...
Bridgette: Guh? A h-hundred? I could never manage that! Impossible!
Seeing Bridgette tremble as if in terror, Baotorda lets out a small sigh.
Baotorda: Honestly...
Very well, then. Let's take a break.
Vyrn: Geez... You hit a wall pretty fast, didn'tcha?
Bridgette: Oooh... I know. I'm disappointed in myself too. But limits are limits. I just don't have the strength that other knights do.
Lyria: Aw... Cheer up! Baotorda's preparing a meal for us! It's sure to be delicious!
Vyrn: Well, you're right there. No point in lookin' back in regret when we can look forward... to food!
As the group waits impatiently, Baotorda appears with food in hand.
Lyria: Wow! It looks so good!
Bridgette: Huh? Wait... Is it just me, or is mine a little... different from everyone else's?
Baotorda: It certainly is. For you, I've prepared a Little Skyfarer's Lunch.
Bridgette: Umm... "Little Skyfarer," you say?
Lyria: Hm? Don't you like Little Skyfarer's Lunches, Bridgette?
Bridgette: Erm... Well, no, but more to the point, I'm... I'm already nineteen years old...
Bridgette: This is rather embarrassing... In fact, it's too embarrassing... I c-can't bring myself to eat it... Impossible...
Baotorda: Hah... Nothing to be embarrassed about! This is Captain Charlotta's favorite meal, I'll have you know!
Bridgette: Huh? Captain Charlotta's favorite, you say? But... The captain is even older than I am...
Baotorda: That's true. But a person is free to eat whatever they please. Just as you're free to decline this dish.
Baotorda: However... I'd question the person who declares something "impossible" before even attempting it, wouldn't you?
Bridgette: !
Baotorda: Through admirable hard work and perseverance, Captain Charlotta overcame the disadvantages presented by her small stature.
Baotorda: I'm sure there were many around her who mocked her, and deemed her goals "impossible." Yet she was able to take the seat of captain.
Baotorda: That is what comes of attempting the impossible, and persevering until it becomes possible.
Bridgette: ...
Baotorda: That is why Charlotta commands both of our respect, and why you wish to fight alongside her.
Bridgette: Yes, I... Yes, that's right.
Baotorda: You understand your own abilities better than anyone. That is how you can judge what is impossible for you.
Baotorda: That judgment is invaluable. But I believe you are too ready to disqualify yourself from certain endeavors, without even attempting them first. Don't you?
Bridgette: That's... That's true. I'm ashamed to admit you're right.
Baotorda: Heh heh. The ability to recognize your own bad habits is the first step toward improvement.
Baotorda: And by the way, my motives in making you this lunch were not pedagogical.
Baotorda: This food is full of nutrients, perfect for building up your basic strength.
Baotorda: And for someone of small stature like yourself, the Little Skyfarer's Lunch provides just the right quantity. It's the logical choice.
Bridgette: I understand! Then I shall take on this culinary challenge! And I most certainly won't utter the word "impossible"!
Bridgette appears to ready herself, then digs into the lunch before her.
Bridgette: Oh my goodness! This is so good! I mean... It's absolutely... delectable!
Baotorda: Heh heh... Once you're finished, we'll take a short break. Then it's back to training.
Baotorda: The same rigorous training you said was impossible earlier.
Bridgette: Oh, absolutely! Yes, sir!
Om nom nom... Delicious!
Smiling gently, Baotorda watches over Bridgette until she finishes the Little Skyfarer's Lunch.
Afterward, the two train together, and Bridgette surpasses her earlier record.
Bridgette: I've done it! Seven strokes! Seven sword strokes in a row!
Vyrn: Really? That's amaz... ing?
Vyrn: Hold on, just seven? What the heck!
It seems like the future in which Bridgette can fight alongside the captain she so admires is still a ways off.
Dream Big
Sevastien invites a downhearted Bridgette to help search for ingredients to prepare supper with. When they are attacked by monsters, Bridgette musters all of her courage to save him. After they return, Sevastien prepares a scrumptious meal with the ingredients she found—proof of her efforts and bravery.
Bridgette: Mmm...
Sevastien: Ah, Bridgette, is that you?
Sevastien is patrolling the halls when he stumbles upon Bridgette deep in thought.
Sevastien: Is something on your mind, Bridgette?
Bridgette: Oh, Sevastien!
Sevastien: Oh dear, I didn't mean to startle you.
Sevastien: A thousand apologies. You don't look like your usual self today... Is something the matter?
Sevastien: If you wish to talk about it, I'd be happy to lend an ear.
Unable to say no to Sevastien's warm smile, Bridgette decides to open up about her doubts.
Bridgette: I enlisted into the Lumiel Order of Holy Knights because I so admired Captain Charlotta...
Bridgette: Each and every day, I've been giving it my all to be more like her, but...
Bridgette: But I still haven't even grasped the basics of being a knight yet... I'm pathetic.
Bridgette: I wonder if I'll ever even get close to being like Charlotta...
Sevastien: Hmm, I see... Quite the quandary indeed.
Sevastien ponders for a moment before an idea crosses his mind.
Sevastien: A change of pace may be good for you, Bridgette—what do you say?
Bridgette: A change of pace?
Sevastien: That's right. Mulling over one thing for too long isn't good for your health.
Sevastien: It seems that I'm actually short on ingredients for supper tonight.
Sevastien: In fact, I was just thinking of finding someone to help me gather ingredients.
Sevastien: What say you? Won't you be a dear and lend me a hand?
Bridgette: I... I see! If there's any way I can be of assistance, I'll do everything I can!
Sevastien: Hehehe, excellent. Well then, let's not waste any more time.
The two head into the forest to gather ingredients while enjoying each other's company.
Bridgette: Hahaha! Feast your eyes on all these vegetables I've gathered, Sevastien!
Sevastien: Splendid! I knew you were the right person for the job.
Bridgette: Hehe... It's an honor to receive your praise!
Bridgette: I can find even more! I'll go take a look over there!
Sevastien: Try not to wander away too far now, Bridgette!
Bridgette: Don't worry about me—just wait and see!
Bridgette: All right! I'm gonna find all the vegetables and show Sevastien what I'm really capable of!
Bridgette: Oooh! This one looks tasty!
Bridgette: Hehe, this is kind of fun! I've gotta make sure to thank him later.
Humming along as she picks more ingredients, she barely notices a sound emerging from a nearby brush.
Bridgette: ...!
What was that sound just now?
Monster: Groooar!
Bridgette: Gaaah!
Hearing Bridgette's scream, Sevestien arrives at the scene just moments later.
Sevastien: Bridgette! Is everything all right?
Bridgette: M-monster! There's a monster!
Bridgette: Oof... It's a real tough one! I can't seem to get a good hit in. We'd best let this one go and make a run for—
Monster: Groooar!
Sevastien: Bridgette, look out!
Bridgette: Huh?
The monster lunges toward Bridgette but is stopped just in time as Sevastien jumps in front of her to take the hit.
Sevastien: Huff... Puff... Are you unharmed, Bridgette?
Bridgette: I'm sorry... I... I let my guard down...
Sevastien: Urk!
Bridgette: Sevastien? Are you hurt?
Sevastien: My apologies... My arm seems to have been wounded...
Bridgette: Oh no! Will you be okay?
Sevastien: I'd like to think so, but... I'm afraid the wound is deeper than I thought.
Sevastien: At this rate, it seems that monsters will do the both of us in...
Sevastien: I'm sorry, Bridgette. Just leave me here and save yourself...
Bridgette: No!
Bridgette: ...
Bridgette: No way! There's no way I'll abandon you here, Sevastien!
Bridgette: We haven't lost yet—I still haven't given it my all!
Monster: Groooar!
Bridgette: Yaaah!
Bridgette: Hehe, I sure can't wait!
Sevastien: Hohoho... Patience is a virtue, dear Bridgette.
Thanks to Bridgette's bravery, the two have managed to safely bring back the ingredients.
As thanks for assisting him, Sevastien prepares a scrumptious meal for Bridgette.
Bridgette: I was really worried about what was gonna happen back there...
Sevastien: Hohoho... Indeed. It's fortunate that we were both able to make it back safely.
Sevastien: When the monster attacked, you were able to avoid its attacks and take it out yourself with practiced hands. Brilliant swordsmanship, I must say.
Sevastien: Simply put, you were marvelous... And you saved me.
Bridgette: Hehe... I'm gonna blush if you keep that up!
Sevastien: Well then, it looks like it's ready. A Lumiel specialty, with plenty of freshly picked ingredients.
Bridgette: Wow... This looks amazing!
Bridgette: Wait a second... Sevastien, what happened to your injury?
Sevastien: Hmm, whatever could it have been... I suppose it must've been a sudden bellyache.
Bridgette: Oh? I-I see. My apologies.
Sevastien: Hehe... Now then—you'd better get started on your food before it gets cold.
Bridgette: Oh, you're right! Time to dig in!
The instant the food touches her mouth, Bridgette's face melts into a smile.
Bridgette: It's deeelish! Your cuisine really is sublime, Sevastien!
Sevastien: Hohoho, you speak too highly of me.
Sevastien: The flavor you taste—that's the flavor of your efforts and bravery.
Bridgette: My efforts and bravery...
Sevastien: Indeed. The flavor of your triumph today, when you mustered the courage to stand up against the monster in a dire situation.
Sevastien: You were saying earlier that you wished to become like Captain Charlotta someday, yes?
Sevastien: Of course, I understand why you may feel doubtful or anxious at times.
Sevastien: However, behind the spectacle of Charlotta's splendor is simply her hard work and effort that often goes overlooked.
Sevastien: Charlotta may still seem like a distant goal. However, I know that you'll be able to catch up some day, Bridgette.
Sevastien: They say those with the biggest dreams never lose sight of their ambition. I'll always be cheering for you behind the scenes as well.
Bridgette: Thank you, Sevastien! I'm gonna keep doing everything I can and catch up to her one day!
Sevastien: Hohoho, now that's the spirit! Truly a radiant sight for this old dog's eyes.
Thanks to Sevastien's help and encouragement, Bridgette's resolve has been reinvigorated.
As such, another small step has brought her closer to realizing her dream of becoming like Charlotta.
