Happy Birthday Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain). What a wonderful celebration this is. Though I may not be the center of attention, the excitement is quite infectious. The warmth of your crew can be felt throughout—the same kindness and cheer that once saved my brother. I'd like to take this special occasion as an opportunity to thank you once again for all you've done. May you forever remain a companion, to Dalmore and to Gawain.
2	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain). I'm glad to be able to celebrate your special day again this year. Now, it is only proper for me to present you with a gift upon coming to celebrate with you. Hah! Hehe, surprised? I learned this from my mother as one of the many practical uses of wind magic. I loved blowing confetti around the room as a child... I remember I buried the room with confetti once on Gawain's birthday, and was scolded terribly for it. Oh, but no need to worry. I've since acquired cleaning magic, so tidying up should no longer be a problem.
3	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain). Today is a special day that only comes once a year. I hope you can enjoy celebrating it with many different people. Hm? My plans for today? Actually, since we have been so busy as of late, halfway through our tasks I was forcefully told by the other sorcerers to rest. As a result, I am suddenly left with a day with nothing planned. I have not decided what to do yet... You'd like to spend the day with me? Oh dear, I wouldn't want to take up your precious day... Are you sure? Hehe. I must say, your sudden invitation has gotten my heart racing. I'm honored. Very well then. Why don't we have some exceptionally delicious cake at one of my favorite shops? Allow me to take you there.
4	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain). Thank you for inviting me to come to celebrate again. I've brought a lot of presents with me today. This is from Archduke Hyland, and this is from the court sorcerers... And the country's children asked me to bring you this bouquet of flowers. Hehe, the people of my country sure to love you, (Captain). It makes me feel proud for some reason. I've prepared a present for you as well, of course. Here it is. I made a shirt out of threads that I made stronger with magic. You're always at the frontlines fighting to defend your friends, so I wanted you to have as much protection as you can. Please make use of it next time you go out on a job.

Happy New Year Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy New Year, (Captain). On behalf of Dalmore, I've come to greet you. I hope that this year is filled with happiness and good health for you and everyone in your crew. And now that the formal greeting is out of the way, let's get to the fun part. Here you are. Some of the others in the crew informed me of this New Year's money tradition. I thought I should partake as well. Hehe, if Gawain finds out about my little gift, he'll probably scold me for spoiling his captain. But no matter how highly you rank, you are still young, and young people should enjoy these gestures while they can. Please, use it to treat yourself and your friends to anything you'd like—food, a shopping trip, or whatever else you're interested in.
2	✔	Happy New Year, (Captain). I'm looking forward to spending more time with you this year. I'd like you to have this. It's a New Year's gift. Hehe. Please, no need to hold back. This is simply a token of my appreciation, so I hope you can accept it. That reminds me—I also brought a New Year's gift for Gawain... But when I tried to give it to him, he frowned and said, "How old do you think I am?" Of course I know Gawain is already a full-grown adult. But when I imagined him going into town and having a good time with the New Year's money, I just couldn't help myself. Oh? We should invite Gawain out to town later, you say? Hehe, thank you, (Captain). I'd be glad to join you.
3	✔	Happy New Year, (Captain). I have brought you a gift to celebrate the new year. Oh? That's an interesting game you have there. It doesn't appear to be a puzzle... "Pin the tail on the donkey"? Hehe, I see. That does sound like a rather addicting game. Gawain especially would be determined to get better at it once he starts. Oh, you'd like me to try too? Very well, then I shall take up the offer. If the donkey starts to look strange, I hope you can laugh along with me.
4	✔	Happy New Year, (Captain)! And what a wonderful new year it is. By the way, would this object in the middle of your room happen to be one of the "kotatsu" that I've heard so much about? It is, you say? I've always wanted to try one! Would it be a bother? Hehe, thank you very much. Let me just sit down, and... Oh my, this is quite something... I see, the heat source is weak, but the fabric traps the warm air under the table. This is quite a comfortable temperature. It makes me want to... fall... Yawn... Oh dear! As Dalmore's head sorceress, I shouldn't allow myself to be seen behaving so indulgently... You'd keep it a secret? Hehehe, thank you very much. Well, I do have a lot of New Year's greetings ahead of me... I suppose I'll take you up on that and rest here for a bit longer.

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Good day, (Captain). I've come bearing a gift. Homemade cookies. It's not much, but it would please me to have you take them. I hope the flavor is to your liking. It tastes good, you say? Hehe, I am glad to hear it. Gawain told me they were "not bad," but his seal of approval only means so much when he is partial to me. Truly, to hear that you like them as well is a relief. Perhaps next year I'll be able to outdo myself with an even nicer batch. Please look forward to it.
2	✔	Here you go, (Captain). I brought a Valentine's gift for you. Surprised? It should be a lot more colorful than last year's gift. I tried combining different flavors of cookie dough and drawing patterns with sugar... I felt like I was discovering a new kind of magic. It was so enjoyable that I may have gone a little overboard. Of course, I'm confident that the taste has also improved. Please give it a try. Hehe, that's a beautiful smile on your face. I'm glad I worked hard on them. There should be plenty, so I hope you'll enjoy them.
3	✔	Hello, (Captain). I've brought some treats again for this year. I made a little too much, so if you find yourself unable to finish everything, please feel free to give them out to the others in the crew. Oh my, I didn't expect you to be this happy. How adorable. Hehe. When Gawain was little, he also readily showed his delight in the same way. He would pester my mother and me to make them again because he wanted to eat more. Oh! Did you hear a sound? Could it be that Gawain overheard us just now? Hehe. It seems he wasn't very happy with you hearing about what I just told you, (Captain). I do want all of you to enjoy the treats today, so I'll save the other stories for another time so as not to spoil the mood.
4	✔	Happy Valentine's Day, (Captain). Here's your sweet. Hehe, I see you've been looking forward to it. Go ahead and take a look inside. What do you think? I tried forming sugar into the shape of Dalmore's castle. Using magic, I made it quite realistic if I do say so myself. I made sure that the taste is exquisite as well, of course. (Captain)? ... Um, did I perhaps go too far? I hadn't really been making sweets for someone ever since Gawain left home, so... I always end up getting too excited on occasions like this. Am I troubling you? You appreciate it so it's no trouble at all? Hehehe, I'm happy to hear that. I'll train hard and make something even more impressive next year!
Gift		Light Cookies

White Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Oh my. Is this a White Day present for me? Thank you very much, (Captain). I'm excited to have a taste. You wish to know what Gawain gifted? Hehe, well... A package was delivered to me this morning. There was nothing written to indicate who sent it, but I can only think of one person who would know about my taste in herbal tea. I believe a pot of those leaves would go well with your sweets. Would you care to join me for a little tea party?
2	✔	Thank you very much for the White Day present, (Captain). Actually, I was aware you would be coming since a while ago. You see, Gawain came by earlier... He left some tea leaves with me, saying that you'll be bringing some desserts soon. I did tell him to stay for tea with us... Hehe, but he must've been worried I'd start telling embarrassing stories about him from when he was young. Well, now that he won't be joining us, I suppose I can tell you whatever I want. I would be most glad to hear any recent stories of Gawain from you as well, (Captain).
3	✔	Oh my, is this for me? Are you certain? This is quite a lot. Ah, so you made enough for the other sorcerers as well. Thank you very much. It's very kind of you to think of the others as well. Although we still have much to do, it is very encouraging when we receive support in this way. Though it is still a ways away... When Dalmore finally attains true peace, I hope that all of us can come and be of aid to you, (Captain).
4	✔	Welcome to the Duchy of Dalmore, (Captain). I'm happy to see you here again this year. My, you brought so many again! Thank you very much. I'm sure the court sorcerers were looking forward to these. Incidentally... Would you happen to have some time right now, (Captain)? The other court sorcerers were actually hoping to invite you to a tea party. It seems they're preparing quite the event, as they want it to serve as thanks for last year's sweets too. You'll attend? Thank you very much. In that case, please follow me. I had the honor of preparing the tea leaves. Let's make it a wonderful party.

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Welcome, (Captain). Are you here to see what a Halloween in Dalmore is like? As a small country, we may not have many grand decorations or parties, but the children enjoy themselves nonetheless. There are plenty of sweets to go around. You should go trick-or-treating as well. As for myself, I should go prepare my own costume before handing out treats. Whatever shall I do this year... Oh? Putting on my mask is enough to count as a costume? Hmm... I do suppose that it is appropriately frightening enough for the children. But I feel as if Gawain might not be too pleased to see me in it.
2	✔	Welcome, (Captain). I've prepared a variety of treats for this year's Halloween as well. The children in town are very happy to have you here, so it would be wonderful if you could spend some time with them. Me? I'm afraid I haven't had the chance to finish preparing my costume yet... Oh, I do have a costume. The children gave it to me saying it was for Lady Florence. Though, what they gave me for the costume was... a pair of bunny ears for children. It's pink in color and very soft. Any child would look adorable in it... but I'm not quite sure if it would suit me. However, I would hate to put the children's kindness to waste... What should I do?
3	✔	So you've come to celebrate Halloween here in Dalmore again. It may not be as exciting as the festivities in other countries, but I hope you can enjoy your time here nonetheless. I will be making my own preparations to hand out treats to the children later. What's that? You'd like to help me with the preparations? I'm grateful for the sentiment, but I would hate to make you work... Ah, you'd like to show off your costume to the children. I see! I suppose it would be a waste if people didn't see the magnificent costume you so painstakingly put together. I'm sure it will be fun for everyone. Very well, then I will gladly accept your assistance. I shall give you a generous reward of treats after.
4	✔	Happy Halloween! Dalmore's festivities are very popular again this year! Thanks to your crew spreading news of them, we have even more visitors from other countries this time. And we've started using even more impressive magic for the Halloween Labyrinth... Ah, we have a version with cute ghosts that Lyria can enjoy as well, of course! Preparations for the parade are proceeding smoothly as well. They'll be marching down Main Street in just a bit, so please come and take a look. Hehe, eager to check out the town? Then take this basket of treats and magic light. Now, please enjoy Dalmore's Halloween to your heart's content!

Happy Holidays Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Good evening, (Captain). It's a beautiful night for celebrations, isn't it? The sight of holiday trees has brought back memories. Once upon a time, I used to decorate them with Gawain and our parents. Gawain would ride on our father's shoulders to place the star at the very top, while I would create magical ornaments out of snow alongside my mother. I can still recall every moment clearly—fond memories I hold dear to my heart. Oh? You'd like me to decorate the ship? Why, I would love to assist. After all, this holy night aboard your ship shall surely become another fond memory to treasure.
2	✔	Thank you for inviting me, (Captain). It looks like everyone is having a wonderful time making preparations for the holy night. I've brought a fruit cake for the winter celebration tonight. I hope everyone can try some. This cake was a specialty of my mother's. It was our family tradition to gather around to eat this cake every year on the holy night. That's why I thought to bring this here tonight, to where Gawain now belongs. Oh, do you want to try making this fruit cake too? I'd be happy to teach you how to make it. Let's head to the kitchen, shall we?
3	✔	Welcome back, (Captain). I understand you were out for a job—were you able to complete it without any trouble? Very good. I'm glad to hear it went smoothly. Now you can relax for the rest of the evening. Hm? Me? Actually, I arrived quite early so I was helping everyone in the crew with decorating the room for tonight's celebration. They were quite happy when I used my magic to move the paper dolls the children made. You'd... like to see the moving paper dolls as well? Hm, the thing is... The children said they wanted to dance with the dolls at the party tonight, so they took all of the dolls away to prepare. I'm sure you will be able to see them later on in the evening. I myself am looking forward to it very much.
4	✔	Happy Holidays, (Captain). Here you are. I made a magic paper doll for you, (Captain). Last year, I happened to notice you staring at them quite intensely. I thought that maybe you wanted one for yourself, so I prepared one for you. It's enchanted to dance to any song you sing to it. I'd recommend finding an opportunity to sing to it together with Lyria and Vyrn at some point. Hehe, I'm glad to see that you like it. Just getting to see you smile like that seems like a present all by itself.

The Archduke's Order

Some time after the establishment of the three-nation alliance, Florence is instructed by Archduke Hyland to prepare something for Halloween together with the sorcerers of Dalmore. The head sorceress returns to the sorcerers' quarters, where she tells her subordinate about the archduke's request. Florence comes up with the idea of a haunted labyrinth, and her subordinate offers to make her a costume for the occasion.

---

Dalmore—a small kingdom that has protected itself against invasions from the strong countries surrounding it with its natural defenses and superior magic.

Thanks to the efforts of Gawain, this comparatively weak land is now in a three-way alliance with Feendrache and Wales.

Some time has passed since this miraculous alliance was established.

One day, Florence is summoned to the throne room by Archduke Hyland and is given an imperial order.

Florence: You would like our sorcerers to liven up Dalmore for Halloween?

Archduke Hyland: Correct. Though we have managed to form the alliance we wished for with our strong neighboring countries, currently we are depending too much on Gawain.

Archduke Hyland: I would like to prove that Dalmore has its own strength as an allied country.

Archduke Hyland: Halloween will be an excellent opportunity for us to display the magical capabilities we pride ourselves in. Will you take on this task, Florence?

Florence: It is true that it would not be difficult for our sorcerers to accentuate the Halloween spirit with their magic...

Florence: (But why is His Highness doing this all of a sudden? He said he wants to display our magical capabilities...)

Florence recalls the tragedy that once took place in their kingdom.

During Florence's adolescence, there was a time when Dalmore suffered an invasion from another country.

Florence's parents, Lot and Morgause, worked to protect Dalmore, and their kingdom managed to secure victory in the battle.

The event was known as the "Miracle of Dalmore." Confident in his kingdom's abilities, Archduke Hyland then attempted to invade other countries.

However, Dalmore came to suffer utter defeat while battling in an unfamiliar land, and Lot lost his life as a result.

Florence: (His Highness is not, by any means, a tyrant...)

Florence: (However, there are times when he loses sight of the state of affairs and acts rashly. I wonder how things will turn out this time...)

Archduke Hyland: Florence. If you have any concerns, speak.

Florence: Not so much a concern, Your Highness. I was merely thinking what would be an effective way to stimulate the Halloween spirit.

Archduke Hyland: An effective way?

Florence: If the goal were to simply display Dalmore's strengths, I believe some pleasant festivities would suffice...

Archduke Hyland: Hm... Are you worried that I might make rash decisions again, Florence?

Florence: ...!
I...

Archduke Hyland: Haha, be at ease—I did not mean to make it difficult for you. It appears I did not explain well enough.

Archduke Hyland: It's true that, as I mentioned, I would like to prove the strength we possess as an allied country. However, it is not for the purpose of provoking other kingdoms.

Archduke Hyland: I merely wish to show others that Dalmore is equally as rich in areas that other strong nations also take pride in.

Archduke Hyland: But above all, the hearts of our people have been wounded by the attack of hybrids not too long ago. I would like to bring laughter to our citizens, if only just for the Halloween occasion.

Florence: (That's a relief. It seems the plan this time is not for saber-rattling.)

Florence: Very well, Your Highness. I shall prepare something that both our people and visitors from outside of Dalmore will be able to enjoy.

Archduke Hyland: Very good. I leave it in your hands.

Florence takes her leave from the throne room and heads back to the sorcerers' quarters to relay the new task to her subordinate.

Sorceress: Whoa! Livening up the Halloween atmosphere? That sounds fun!

Sorceress: Using magic to cheer people up is like a dream!

Florence: Using magic... to cheer people up.

Florence: (That's right... Even in my case, I've always used magic for the purpose of battle.)

Florence: (If used for peace, surely it can bring happiness to many.)

Sorceress: What do you plan on doing for the event, Lady Florence?

Florence: I believe ghosts and the like are a classic for Halloween...

Florence: I was thinking, perhaps we could set up a haunted house in the plaza of the castle town.

Sorceress: Oh, wow, that sounds great! With our magic, we can probably make it seem pretty realistic!

Sorceress: At the same time, don't you think a haunted house in the plaza is kind of too ordinary?

Florence: Too ordinary?

Sorceress: I mean, it's an imperial order from Archduke Hyland himself. I think it'd be nice if we went all out for it.

Sorceress: Like make the entire castle town into a haunted house!

Florence: The entire castle town?

Sorceress: Yep! The residential areas are off-limits, but I'm sure we could arrange something for the shopping district or plaza and clear out some space for it.

Sorceress: Just think—what if the castle town suddenly became an abandoned ruin with cobwebs left and right? People would definitely get a kick out of it!

Florence: Oh my! Hehe, that does sound like an interesting idea.

Florence: Ghosts wandering around abandoned ruins... It's exciting just to think about!

Sorceress: Right? It's bound to impress other countries when they see it!

Florence: Indeed.
On further thought, perhaps instead of a house, we could utilize the terrain and create a labyrinth instead.

Florence: Since the roads are quite complex in the plaza and shopping areas, I'm sure putting barricades at particular locations will be enough to build some sort of maze.

Sorceress: A huge haunted labyrinth! Let's do it!

Florence: Yes, let's. Thank you—we were able to come up with this lovely idea thanks to you.

Sorceress: No way, the labyrinth idea was all you, Lady Florence!

Sorceress: Okay, so what should we do for the ghosts? How about a flying pumpkin monster that roars at you?

Florence: Hmm... That might be a little too cute for a haunted attraction.

Florence: Something actually scary may be better. Like a gigantic hairy spider that spits out webs as it chases you...

Sorceress: Wait, what?

Florence: Or an apparition of a smiling skeleton that jumps at you from behind...

Sorceress: An apparition of a skeleton?

Florence: Or perhaps bloody zombies that continue to chase you for an extended period of time... Wouldn't that be fun?

Sorceress: ...

Sorceress: Forgive me if I'm wrong, Lady Florence, but are you actually a huge fan of horror?

Florence: Huh?

Florence: Ah, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to enjoy myself so much thinking about all this...

Florence: I've only ever played these kinds of pranks on Gawain...

Sorceress: (She's done these kinds of things to Sir Gawain? Wow...)

Sorceress: Um, anyway, I guess you're right that if we're going to do it, we might as well go all out on the scary factor!

Florence: I suppose we should hold back a little though. We cannot afford to taint Dalmore's reputation by arranging something too peculiar.

Sorceress: Whaaat! People with a thing for spooky things would love it...

Florence's eyes wander over to a clock nearby and she gasps.

Florence: Oh my, look at the time. I'm sorry to have stopped you just as you were about to go home.

Florence: It's getting late. Let's talk about this again and figure something out with the other sorcerers.

Sorceress: Not at all! Besides, I was the one who brought up the segue. Please don't feel bad about it!

Sorceress: I agree—we should consult the others too. Let's discuss this again next time!

Just as she is about to exit the room, the sorceress remembers something and claps her hands together.

Sorceress: Oh yeah! Will you be dressing up as anything on the day of, Lady Florence?

Florence: Dressing up? I've always assumed I'll be working from behind the scenes, so I haven't thought about it.

Sorceress: Aw, that's such a waste! You can still dress up even if you're working behind the scenes!

Sorceress: Not to mention it'd be awfully underwhelming if Archduke Hyland came to observe and you were dressed just as you usually are.

Florence: I suppose you have a point. I'll wear a dark-colored dress and put on a hood...

Sorceress: How's that different from your regular outfit? You should put on some ears!

Florence: Erm, ears are a little... too cute for me...

Sorceress: Really? Okay, then how about a mask?

Florence: I guess that's better than ears...

Sorceress: So the mask idea is a go. And maybe a black woven dress with a bit of a twist on the sleeves...

Florence: Um... Are you planning out my clothing for Halloween?

Sorceress: Hehe. I may not look it, but sewing's my field of expertise!

Florence: (What should I do? I suppose having something to wear would be nice. And she looks like she's having a lot of fun...)

After walking once around Florence, the sorceress puts her hands together pleadingly.

Sorceress: Please, Lady Florence! Allow me to fashion an outfit for you! I promise I'll make it something amazing!

Florence: ...

Florence: If you put it that way, I can't bear to turn down your good will. You have my blessings.

Sorceress: Awesome! Then I'm going into full sewing mode! I'll even throw in some glittery beads!

Florence: Um, for the record... I'm rather unaccustomed to things that are too gaudy... And please take care not to make it too short, all right?

Despite the tinge of uneasiness, Florence smiles as she exits the quarters, somewhat eager to see what the sorceress will come up with for her.

A Power for Peace

On Halloween day, (Captain) and company pay a visit to Dalmore, where they are invited to try a haunted labyrinth by a festively dressed Florence. The crew manages to reach the goal, though Lyria is startled by the ghosts in the maze. Florence apologizes for not having warned the crew in advance. Suddenly, they hear a scream and find Archduke Hyland exiting the labyrinth.

---

(Captain) and the crew receive a letter from Florence and visit Dalmore's castle town on Halloween day.

Vyrn: Ooh, the town's all decorated now! Feels completely different from how it usually is!

Lyria: With the pumpkin lamps lining the streets, it's like we've stepped into a storybook!

Vyrn: Florence did say she worked really hard preparin' for today. I hope we can find her!

Florence's Voice: (Captain). Lyria. Vyrn. Thank you for coming.

Florence: Welcome to Dalmore's Halloween!

Lyria: Wow! Your costume is so cute, Florence!

Florence: I'm relieved to hear that you think so. It's a costume one of my fellow sorceresses made for me from scratch.

Florence: Although, I am worried the cute aspect of the costume doesn't suit me too well...

Lyria: That's not true at all! The pumpkin mask and the sparkly dress fit you perfectly!

Florence: Is that so? Then I shall wear it with pride, so as not to put my subordinate's efforts to waste.

Florence: Speaking of which, is Gawain not with you?

Vyrn: He was with us until we entered the castle town...

Vyrn: But he went off just as we were about to walk through the entrance. Said somethin' about going outside to take care of monsters.

Lyria: We tried to go with him, but he insisted that he'll be fine on his own. He was gone before we could say anything else...

Lyria: I think he doesn't want to cause a scene with his arrival. He's probably waiting outside until there's less people.

Florence: That's awfully considerate of him... I'll be sure to thank him when he comes in later.

Just then, a cry sounds from somewhere behind the houses nearby.

Lyria: Eep! Wh-what was that?

Florence: A haunted labyrinth. We combined the concept of a haunted house with a giant labyrinth for part of the town.

Florence: Those who find themselves completely lost can touch a crystal ball set up at certain locations. It will tell them the way to the goal.

Florence: If you'd like, please give the maze a try!

Vyrn: Whoooa! Hear that, (Captain)? Sounds pretty cool, huh!

Florence: Hehe. I have plenty more stories I'd love to tell all of you, but I should head back to the labyrinth.

Florence: Please enjoy tonight to your heart's content, everyone!

1. We will!

Choose: We will!

Florence gives a graceful bow before using her magic to teleport herself away.

Vyrn: Well, since we're already here, we should go check out this haunted labyrinth! What do you wanna do though, Lyria?

Lyria: I... kind of want to see the labyrinth for myself too!

Vyrn: Wha! Are you sure? Ya know there's gonna be ghosts, right?

Lyria: Gh-ghosts are scary, but the labyrinth's something Florence put a lot of effort into making, so I want to see it.

Lyria: Besides, I have a feeling I'll be okay, since Florence is the one who made the ghosts!

Vyrn: Hm, that's true. It shouldn't be too much scarier than the usual haunted house, since they want the general public to enjoy themselves.

Vyrn: You're gonna be okay though? You heard that scream earlier, didn'tcha?

Lyria: Nngh... I'll do my best! I want to try the labyrinth!

1. Here, we can hold hands.

Choose: Here, we can hold hands.

Lyria: Thank you, (Captain)! Hehe. I feel much better!

And so, the crew decides to head for the haunted labyrinth in town.

Pale Ghost: ...

Lyria: Eep!

Dark Ghost: ...!

Lyria: Eeek!

Lyria: Hngh... I don't like this... All these ghosts are coming to scare us...

Vyrn: That's kinda the point of a haunted attraction...

Vyrn: This is amazing though. The castle town's covered in spider webs, and there're even balls of fire floatin' around.

Vyrn: The door of that house over there just keeps openin' and closin' by itself. Is this all done by magic?

Intrigued, Vyrn flies closer to the swinging door of the house at the side of the road.

Patchwork Dog: Grrr!

Vyrn: Ack!

Vyrn: Wh-what the heck's with that thing? It's different from the other ghosts!

Lyria: Oh, Vyrn! Please come back!

Cackling Ghost: Keh keh keh...

Lyria: Eeek!

Vyrn: H-hey, Lyria! That way's a dead end—

Lyria's Voice: Noooo!

Vyrn: I told her... Come on, let's go after her, (Captain)!

Florence: Hehe.

Outside the labyrinth, Florence chuckles as she stands with the other sorcerers, concealed by magic.

Sorceress: Is something funny, Lady Florence?

Florence: Curiosity spooked the dragon. I improvised a ghost to give him a fright.

Sorceress: Ahaha. You certainly look like you're having a lot of fun!

Sorceress: The blue-haired girl seems pretty scared already. Should we leave out the grand finale?

Florence: Let's see... How about a cute little ghost?

Sorceress: Ah, so... we're going to go ahead with it?

Florence: Yes. It is a haunted attraction...

Florence: It always has to finish with the visitor successfully being evicted from the place by ghosts after a treacherous chase, wouldn't you agree?

Lyria: I'm... I'm so tired... Where is the exit?

Vyrn: Sorry, I didn't think it'd be this intense either...

Vyrn: Hm? Is that one of the crystal balls Florence mentioned earlier? That'll tell us the way out of here!

Vyrn: Okay, so we follow the path on the right, and that should take us to the goal. Nice!

Lyria: Phew... I'm glad. Let's hurry and get out of—

Crying Ghost: Sniffle, sniffle...

Lyria: Huh?

Crying Ghost: Waaah!

Lyria & Vyrn: Eeek!
Ack!

1. Run!

Choose: Run!

At (Captain)'s cry, the three run as fast as they can in the direction of where the exit is supposed to be.

Behind them, the wailing continues as the ghost swoops after them.

Finally, they see the arch where the goal was said to be by the crystal ball and pass through it.

Vyrn: Wha! The ghost disappeared...

Florence: We've devised it so the magic spell breaks once you pass through the arch.

Florence: Congratulations on reaching the goal. How did you find the labyrinth?

Lyria: It was so scary! Your ghosts... They weren't cute at all...

Florence: Hm? Cute?

(Captain) explains how Lyria had decided to come with them to the labyrinth because she thought Florence's ghosts wouldn't be as frightening.

Florence: Oh my, so that's how it was.

Florence: Actually, the labyrinth was made for those who like spooky things. We have a different area for people who don't do so well with the supernatural.

Florence: My apologies. I should have paid more attention.

Vyrn: Nah, we didn't tell you about it beforehand. Don't worry about it, Florence!

Vyrn: Besides—I, for one, had a lotta fun!

Florence: Is that so? I'm glad. What about you, (Captain)?

1. It was fun!
2. It was scary...

Choose: It was fun!

Florence: Hehe. I'm relieved to hear that you also like the thrill of being scared, (Captain).

Florence: If you're interested, we do have something even scarier prepared. Just say the word and I'll take you there.

Florence: I'm certain it will be a chilling experience like never before that will change your life...

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: It was scary...

Florence: Oh? Hehe. How cute—I thought it would've taken more to scare a seasoned adventurer like you.

Florence: In that case, allow me to take you to a more playful area to lighten the mood. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Continue 1

???: Auuugh!

Florence: Huh? That voice...

Suddenly, a hooded man rushes out from the labyrinth, screaming.

The man sinks to the floor and throws back his hood. Florence gasps in surprise.

Florence: Your Highness!

Lyria: Oh, wow! The king is here as well?

Archduke Hyland: Pant... Pant... Whew...

Archduke Hyland: Aah... That was terrifying...

At the unexpected sight of the king drenched in sweat, Florence's brows knit together in concern.

A Power for Peace: Scene 2

Archduke Hyland explains that he wanted to experience the haunted labyrinth for himself, as he was the one who suggested organizing the Halloween festivities. Grateful for the archduke's consideration, Florence takes him to a less frightening area of town where many children are gathered. The archduke takes the treats Florence has prepared and hands them out to the children.

Archduke Hyland: Glug, glug...

Archduke Hyland: Whew... Thank you, Florence. I've calmed down now.

After finishing the glass of water from Florence, Archduke Hyland smiles.

Lyria: Um... Is the king... not very good with spooky things either?

Sorceress: Yes, it's a rather well-known fact. The king himself thinks it to be a secret though, so please keep it that way!

Florence: I did not expect you to be here, Your Highness... If I had known, I would have instructed our sorcerers to adjust their magic.

Archduke Hyland: It's fine. Having them adjust it just for me would destroy the meaning of coming here to observe.

Florence: You partook in the labyrinth in order to keep tabs on the event, Your Highness?

Archduke Hyland: Yes. The Halloween festivities were my idea, after all.

Archduke Hyland: Many of our sorcerers came together to complete this haunted labyrinth, so I wanted to experience it for myself.

Florence: We are truly honored by your presence. Still...

Sorceress: Whew, we dodged a bullet, Lady Florence. It's good we ended up changing what we had originally planned.

Archduke Hyland: Hm? Originally planned?

Sorceress: Actually, at first, Lady Florence had suggested having the patchwork zombie dog be the ghost guarding the goal!

Vyrn: You mean the one that hid behind the swinging door? If I ever got chased by that, even I'd get nightmares...

Florence: It was simply a suggestion! Please don't inflict any more terror than we already have on His Highness!

Sorceress: Oh! I'm sorry, Lady Florence!

Archduke Hyland: Haha. It seems you enjoyed yourself while preparing for the festivities, Florence.

Florence: Yes... It has been a most pleasant experience.

Florence: As one of the event planners, I really would like visitors to enjoy it to their hearts' content.

Florence: There is one more area the sorcerers have prepared that I would like to show you, Your Highness.
Please feel free to join us if you'd like, everyone.

They all follow Florence to another part of the town, where they are greeted with sounds of delightful laughter.

Shiny Toy: ...!

Lyria: Wow!

Pink-Colored Toy: ...!

Lyria: Ahaha! This is amazing!

Archduke Hyland: Oho. A rather adorable parade we have here.

An entourage of toys walks down the street, bringing a smile to Lyria and the archduke.

Vyrn: It's definitely somethin' even people who don't like spooky things can enjoy! Was this your idea too, Florence?

Florence: Yes. I do like cute things as much as I like spooky things.

Florence: I infused my magic with some handmade toys and made it so they would march and sing together.

Lyria: What a wonderful idea! It's great how Dalmore is able to use magic in this way!

Archduke Hyland: We may be powerless compared to our neighboring countries in terms of battle...

Archduke Hyland: But in regards to magic, we are confident that we can match that of Feendrache and Wales.

Florence: Thanks to the power of the leylines, we are blessed with an excellent environment for our research facilities.

Child in Costume 1: Trick or treat!

A child dressed in a costume runs toward the crew and asks them for a treat.

Archduke Hyland: Hm? Oh dear, I'm afraid I have not been able to prepare anything to give...

Florence: Oh my, what a cute little ghost. Would you like some candy?

Florence crouches down to meet the child's gaze and takes out some candy from her basket, holding it out.

Child in Costume 1: Yay! Thank you so much!

Archduke Hyland: I expected no less from you. Prepared for everything as always.

Florence: Many little ones often gather in this area, you see.

Florence: Ah, what do we have here? Did our little ghost friend go and spread the word to her fellow ghoulies? Here come more tiny visitors.

Florence notices several children in costume following the little girl from earlier as she guides them toward the crew.

Archduke Hyland: May I borrow the basket of candy from you, Florence?

Florence: I wouldn't dare wish to trouble you, Your Highness...

Archduke Hyland: I would like to do it. For the purpose of observing how Halloween is being carried out in Dalmore.

Florence: As you wish... But the power of children is not to be underestimated, Your Highness. Please do be careful.

Children in Costume: Trick or treat!
Trick or treat!

Archduke Hyland: Haha, have you come looking for something sweet? Let me see. In the basket we have...

Archduke Hyland: Cookies, candies, chocolate... What would you like, children?

Child in Costume 2: Anything! Come on, gimme!

Annoyed by the archduke's lack of urgency, the children grow impatient and begin reaching for the basket.

Archduke Hyland: Now, now! If you all grab at once, I won't be able to give any of these treats out to anyone.

Florence: Your Highness! Are you all right?

Archduke Hyland: No need for concern. Leave it to me.

Archduke Hyland continues to move at his own pace, handing out treats to the children one by one with a content expression on his face.

Vyrn: For someone who gets spooked easily I wasn't so sure at first, but seems like he makes a pretty good king after all!

Florence: Yes. He is not the type of king who rules his people with an iron fist.

Florence: His Highness is a kind person who devotes himself wholeheartedly to caring for his people. A king worthy to be served.

(Captain) and company watch the archduke as he continues greeting the children patiently until, finally, the evening grows late and the little ones return home.

After that, Gawain comes to join the crew in the town. To Florence's utter astonishment, her brother eagerly enters the haunted labyrinth, a sight she never thought she'd see.

A Power for Peace: Scene 3

Several days after Halloween, Florence is commended by the archduke for a job well done. When Archduke Hyland asks the sorceress what she would like to do after Dalmore attains true peace, Florence replies that she would like to conduct magic research. Hearing the archduke reflect on how he had failed to consider Gawain's feelings before, Florence is touched by this change and vows within herself to continue using her power for Dalmore from here on out.

Several days after Halloween, Florence visits Archduke Hyland in the throne room again.

Archduke Hyland: Halloween was quite the endeavor, but I believe it proved to be an excellent opportunity for those both within and outside of Dalmore to experience the level of magic capability we possess.

Archduke Hyland: I would like to offer you a reward for having made this event possible, Florence.

Florence: I appreciate the sentiment, Your Highness—that is more than enough. The success can be attributed to all of our talented sorcerers.

Florence: I believe recognition should also go toward our knights, who stayed vigilant throughout the festivities in case of monster attacks.

Florence: Especially Glane, who has only just taken on the role of commander. I'm certain he was busy enough already.

Archduke Hyland: Ah, the man who replaced Pete. Though I have not yet had the chance to speak to Glane, I will arrange for something to acknowledge the knights' competence.

Florence: That would be much appreciated.

Florence: This Halloween season has been a stimulating experience for our sorcerers as well.

Florence: It was a first for them, as well as for myself, to use powerful magic for something other than battle.

Archduke Hyland: I would presume so. The sorcerers of Dalmore originally existed to provide support to our knights...

Archduke Hyland: Thanks to the efforts of your mother, Morgause, we were able to establish a solid defense system for Dalmore, though its history is short compared to that of our knights.

Archduke Hyland: That is because Dalmore's magic was never developed for battle in the first place.

Florence: It is as you say, though my knowledge extends to only what my mother had told me.

Florence: According to her, magic meant for making life easier in a harsh natural environment is one thing. Altering it for military use is another.

Archduke Hyland: Yes, that is what I have heard from my predecessor as well.

Archduke Hyland: If our land's sorcerers possessed great offensive power like the House of Wales, I doubt we would have become the small and frail country we are now.

Archduke Hyland: On the other hand, if that had been the case, then Dalmore's zeitgeist would not have become what it is today.

Florence: Yes. I believe the Dalmore we have now is beautiful.

Florence: There may be many hardships, but I am proud to have been born in this land. That is how I truly feel.

Archduke Hyland: I am of the same opinion. However, Florence...

Archduke Hyland: If Dalmore were to attain true peace someday, what, then, would you use your power for?

Florence: If Dalmore attains true peace?

The archduke nods.

Archduke Hyland: Though it was largely thanks to Gawain, Dalmore was finally able to establish an alliance with two other nations.

Archduke Hyland: If a miracle like this can happen, then perhaps the day Dalmore no longer has to fear warfare will come.

Archduke Hyland: When that time arrives, you will not need to involve yourself with battle anymore, Florence. So what would you want to do instead?

Florence: Right. It's still a far-off dream, but...

Florence: If Dalmore ever attains true peace, I would like to devote myself to magic research.

Florence: I feel it is my responsibility to bring happiness to many people with this power I possess, just like how we have this Halloween.

Archduke Hyland: Haha, yes. I thought the same.

Florence: If I may ask... What brought about this question?

Archduke Hyland: Hm... It may not be my place to say this, but I wanted to provide some kind of compensation to all of you.

In the previous battle against the hybrids, Gawain denounced the duplicity of being branded a hero when the tragic sacrifice made by his heroic father had been all but forgotten by the kingdom.

These words had spurred Archduke Hyland to reflect on his careless actions up until then.

Archduke Hyland: I framed Gawain as a haughty tyrant without recognizing the conflict he had to undergo. I did not have it in me to consider his feelings.

Archduke Hyland: A country is nothing without its people. And the people are the ones defending this country.

Archduke Hyland: Blindly saying that everything is for the country and its people and disregarding the circumstances of those protecting our land is putting the cart before the horse.

Archduke Hyland: I must do more to make up for my shortcomings, and I would like to start by ensuring I never scorn the opinions of you and Gawain again.

Florence: Your Highness... So that's what has been on your mind.

The archduke closes his eyes in regret before straightening up.

Archduke Hyland: Please at least allow me to apologize for what happened to your parents and to Gawain.

Archduke Hyland: Looking back, I have made so many mistakes in the past. I hardly have the right to make this request...

Archduke Hyland: Still, Florence—I would like to make Dalmore into a place where anyone can live in happiness. Will you lend me your support for a little longer?

Florence: Yes... Of course, Your Highness.

Florence: I will do my best to turn this power I use for battle into one that can be used for peace.

A warm feeling blossoms within Florence's heart.

Her eyes light up, filled with the hope and dreams of a peace that she—along with her mother, father, and brother—has always wished for.
