3	✔	Hmm? What happened, (Captain)? Don't play dumb with me! You're simply shining today! You stand out even more than me! That's no fair! You're stealing all the limelight... Oh! I've got it! Today's the day you shine brightest: your birthday! Today's the only day your star outshines mine... But I won't lose to you. Lilele on the stage! Happy birthday to you! This song shines as bright as you do now, (Captain). Here we go... The Moon Only Shines in the Night.
4	✔	Three, two, one... Happy birthday, (Captain)! I'm so glad I got to give you a birthday countdown with just the two of us. I decided to prioritize your birthday countdown over the New Year's countdown. It's because I wanted to save my best wishes for you instead. Heehee. And what's a better way to say congratulations than with a song? Oops, I completely forgot how late it is right now! Shh... Okay, (Captain). Hehehe. I'm going to bring it down a notch. Come scooch in closer so you can hear me. Here we go. This Day's For You.
5	✔	Ahh, so bright! You're so bright today, (Captain)! It's blinding me! Could it be that... today's your birthday? I knew it... You've got that aura of a star. You're sparkling so much it's making even me look dim! Teehee, I'm just kidding! It's not blinding me. But you really are the star today! With that said, let me give you a present! Something special from me to you! Here we go. Celebration Symphony No. 1!

(Captain), as long as you're by my side, listening to my voice... I'm sorry, I shouldn't be saying things like that. I lost track of the real Lilele for a moment there. Let me get back on that saddle. This is for you... New Year, Old Me.
4	✔	It's the start of a bright and sparkly new year! I haven't forgotten my goal of becoming the number one idol in the skies! Hm? Aside from that, what's my resolution for this year? Hmm...

5	✔	(Captain)! Happy New Year! I'm already super busy! My schedule's packed with one New Year's performance after another. Oh, you haven't heard? My songs are magical. Everyone knows that if you listen to them on New Year's day, you'll increase your fortunes. Teehee. Just kidding! But you could say that's what my songs stand for. They're here to usher in a wonderful future with a wonderful beginning. And... First off, I want to wish you a stupendous new year with a song, (Captain). Ready? Here's The Year Ahead.

1	✔	Happy Valentine's Day! Oh, I know that face! You've been hoping for a little something from me, haven't you! Well, you're going to get it! Take it as thanks for all the kindness you've shown me! But before that! I have dedicated a song to you... Operation: Love Chocolate!
2	✔	Happy, happy Valentine's, (Captain)! It's that time of the year again when love is in the air. But in the midst of that sweet fragrance in the air, don't forget that there's always a touch of bitter in the mix. So before we get to the chocolate, get ready for Lilele on the stage! Sweet Valentine's performance! I'll never stop singing and never stop bringing smiles to those who listen! I call this one Chocolate Love Bomb.

4	✔	It's Valentine's Day, (Captain)! I just came back from watching all the lovey-dovey couples in town! But there are still quite a few bashful girls who haven't worked up the courage to express their feelings! I really want to cheer those girls on! So here's a song just for them! It's called Love Plea Harmony.
5	✔	(Captain)! Happy Valentine's! I made you some chocolates—and I put my whole heart into it! Oh, wait! Don't eat them yet. 'Cause a big competition's about to start! Hehehe. That's right. This year, yours truly—Lilele—is going head-to-head with her own chocolate. And the name of the competition iiis... Which is Sweeter? My Chocolates or My Songs? So I'm about to debut a brand new song—and I'm gonna sing it just for you. After you listen to the song, eat the chocolates. Then, after everything's over, you have to decide which was sweeter and more satisfying. The good thing about this competition is I win no matter what you choose, (Captain)! Now, listen up! Here's Chock Full of Chocolates.

1	✔	Hehe, hehehe. Hehe, hehehe. Wha... Wh-what is it, (Captain)? Huh? I've been fidgety since you showed up? Th-that's not true! I'm acting perfectly normal! Oh, stop teasing me! You know what I'm waiting for! Hurry up and hand it over already! You know! It's White Day! The day you return the favor for Valentine's! But wait. Before I accept your present, I have to... Ahem... Prepare myself to sing from the heart. I call it... Your White Little Lie
2	✔	Happy White Day, (Captain)! This time it's your turn, isn't it, (Captain)? I already know my answer. Before I accept, get ready for Lilele on the stage! I'll take you in with all my heart! I'll believe and sing. I believe in the (Captain) who believes in me. I call this one... Just the Two of Us.
3	✔	Hehe. Are you nervous? Well, today's White Day, it's only natural. Say, (Captain), would you like to sing back to me for a change? I'm always the only one singing... It can get lonely sometimes. So sing with me today, (Captain). Lilele on the stage! Our special duet! Here we go... The Apron I Dreamed.
4	✔	Wow! Thank you for the White Day gift, (Captain)! Hm? You look like you have something to add... You're saying it's not much of a gift? Oh, come on! Don't worry about stuff like that! What matters is what comes from the heart! That's why you have to be happy before the gift is even opened by someone. And for me, it's not about what's in the box. It's about your feelings, (Captain). I want you to listen to this song, and focus on the feelings you have for the important people in your life. It's called As Long As You're By My Side.
5	✔	Is this my White Day's gift, (Captain)? It's amazing! I have to thank you for this. So expect something big next Valentine's, okay? Ehehe... You think it's weird to thank someone for a thank-you gift? Well, I think it's great—this entire idea of repaying gratitude with more gratitude. I mean, that's what White Day is all about, isn't it? Now, are you ready for a thank-you song? Here's Oh, My Sweetheart!

There aren't any booby traps in the cake, okay? You can have a slice in safety! Ooor... am I just playing with you? Teehee! Just kidding! As long as the cake is still baking, how about a teeny-Halloweeny performance to pass the time? Time to transform this kitchen into a stage! For your listening pleasure: Night of the Pumpkin Man!
5	✔	(Captain)! I'm having a Halloween concert this year! The dress code is ghost costumes, so you better come dressed as a ghost! I'm gonna be changing into different costumes for every song, so this concert's a special one! Aaand that's not all! We're also gonna play a game where I slip into the audience while in costume, and everyone has to try and find me! A ghost Lilele among a sea of ghost fans! Will the audience be able to catch the real Lilele? Find out at the show! That's my trick this Halloween! Come find me, okay? Promise me, (Captain)!

Daydream☆Miracle

The crew meets a girl called Lilele, who is aiming to become a major pop star. She tells them that she met Lyria when she was very young, and saw Lyria perform a song called "Our Future." But Lyria has no memory of having sung the song at all. Lilele, who had idolized Lyria and the crew and had been inspired by them to become a pop star, is understandably shocked by this news. To cheer her up, (Captain) suggests that she join the crew and continue searching for whoever it was did sing that song all those years ago.

Harvins have a uniquely small stature.

One young Harvin girl has been teased about her size by her friends, and is now alone by a lake, crying.

???: Sob… sniffle… Why did they have to be so mean?

???: Why do they have to say such hurtful things? …Why… Snuffle…

A tear drop forms on her eyelashes and drops into the lake.

That drop, so full of sorrow, creates ripples on the surface of the calm lake.

The ripples expand until they cover the entire lake.

Just then…

???: What's wrong? Why do you cry?

???: Who're you?

???: Come on, don't look so down. Let's sing a song.

???: S-sing? No, I couldn't. I'd be too embarrassed.

???: Don't be, everyone's waiting for you.

???: !

???: (…What's going on? Wow, those girls look so cute…)

???: (…I wish I had clothes like that…)

???: (…I wish I was as cute as them…)

Meanwhile, something is happening in a small town in Port Breeze.

In the town square, two men are having a heated argument.

Captain: How many times do I have to tell you! This island belongs to us!

Commander: And how many times do I have to tell you? We're here to take over!

Captain: That's it, if you're not gonna listen then I'll have to teach you a lesson the only way I know how!

Townsperson: EEEEEEK!

The townsperson's scream reaches the ears of (Captain) and crew who just so happen to be walking by.

Vyrn: What's going on over there? Looks like something's heating up.

Lyria: Oh no, look! They're surrounding the townspeople!

Rackam: This isn't good. Let's go, we have to stop them!

The crew rush over to the town square. As they reach it they hear an unusual sound.

Lilele: I think you're going to enjoy this next one…
"Dreams are the Colors of Miracles"!

Lilele: "I close my eyes, and all I see is your face
Looking the same as the day we first met.
Even now, I long for your embrace…"

Lilele: "You still haven't seen my new color yet
The color you gave me, the color of dreams
Miracles still happen these days, so it seems…"

Katalina: Wh-what is that? Look over there, something's happening.

Katalina points to where the people who were up until now fighting, but now they were all standing side by side.

Cheerleaders: L! O! V! E! Lovely Lilele! Our beloved Lileleeee!

Townspeople: Yaaaaaay! Lileleeee! Lileleeee!

Rackam: What's goin' on? Weren't they at each others throats just a moment ago?

Eugen: Isn't it obvious? They're all here for the same thing. They're chasing the same dream…

Eugen: It's just that they care so much about it, the slightest thing can spark an argument. You can't blame them, they're young!

Katalina: Well that's as may be. Anyway, it seems we're not needed here, so let's get back to the ship. Euge?Eugen?

Rackam & Eugen: L! O! V! E! Lovely Lilele! Our beloved Lileleeee!

Katalina: R-Rackam, Eugen, what are you doing?

Eugen: I'm sorry, I just got swept up in the madness. Their enthusiasm is infectious!

Katalina & Lyria: Humph…

Rackam: It was the song! Seriously! The song just brought something up in me, and before I knew it I was dancing…

Eugen: I've always been a sucker for this kinda thing. I just get swept away… Swept…

Katalina: You're the type who buys all the merchandise and hangs out after the show to get autographs, I bet.

Rackam: I'm telling you it's all the song's fault! How many times do I have to say it?

Katalina: What are we going to do? I have to say I didn't expect you two to be into this sort of thing… Though we all need outlets…

???: …Lyria? You are Lyria, aren't you?

Lyria turns to see the small Harvin girl who was on stage singing earlier. She seems close to tears.

Lyria: Erm… Aren't you the one who was singing earlier?

Lilele: Yes, my name's Lilele! I can't believe it's actually you!

Lyria: Wait. How is it that you know me?

Lilele: What are you talking about? You were in the group that sang "Our Future," weren't you?

Lyria: What? "Our Future"?

The two men who had been dancing so energetically earlier start to explain the situation to the bewildered Lyria.

Rackam: Yeah, she's talking about that time. The miracle show that happened by the lake.

Eugen: Lilele met a blue-haired girl and was blown away by her. She's been her inspiration ever since.

Rackam: She's done everything she can to be like that blue-haired girl. She even took singing lessons!

Eugen: That's how she got the name of "Princess of Pop"… Wow, this is pretty in-depth.

Katalina: Where are you guys getting all this from?

Eugen: From this, where else! The official fan book has all sorts of information.

Rackam: Yeah, surely everyone knows that.

Katalina: Goodness, it's like you've both been hypnotized.

Katalina: (Captain), what did you think of her song?

Apologies, but can we stop the singing?
Let's take on a tour of the whole sky!

Choose: Apologies, but can we stop the singing?

Lilele: C-Captain, you didn't like my music? I have to say, I'm shocked.

Vyrn: That's not what (Captain)'s saying! We're worried that if we hear any more then we'll all be under your spell, that's all!

Lyria: (Captain), is that true?

(Captain) looks away awkwardly.

Lilele: Teehee, I see. Well that just makes me want to play for you all the more!

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Let's take on a tour of the whole sky!

Lilele: Do you really mean that?

Lilele: I've dreamed of touring my show around the skies. And what's more, to be touring with my idol, Lyria… A dream come true!

Continue 1

Katalina: Oh come on… It's fine to be a fan of her music, but don't forget our main objective!

Lilele: By the way, where are the other members?

Vyrn: Other members? What do you mean?

Lilele: I mean, the other girls who sang "Our Future" with Lyria…

Lyria: Erm, once again I have to say I have no memory of "Our Future"…

Lilele: That… That's impossible. You're joking, right? I mean, you're my idol!

Vyrn: H-hey, just calm down! What's going on here?

The crew try to calm Lilele down, but she is inconsolable.

Lilele: You're not making fun of me are you? I mean, I remember Lyria singing "Our Future"…

Rackam: Hmmm, I have to say that what Lilele's been saying isn't ringing any bells.

Eugen: Y-yeah… I think I would have remembered Lyria singing on stage like that…

Katalina: Lilele, forgive me if this comes across as rude…

Katalina: Might you be mistaking us for someone else?

Lilele: Th-there's no way! It is you, Lyria! You have to remember!

Lyria: I'm sorry, but I really have no memory of what you're talking about.

Lilele: B-but… How…

Lilele appears to be in shock, and drops to her knees on the spot.

Lilele: I… I've tried so hard to become like that shining brilliant girl…

Lilele: Is it… Can it be… My dream…

Katalina: Isn't over yet, right?

Lilele: Huh?

Katalina: We might not be the people you're looking for, but that's no reason to give up. They might still be out there.

Lilele: But… What if… the girl I met and idolize so much isn't in this world?

Lyria: Then you can come with us!

Lyria: And then together we can search the skies for that girl, from here to the Isle of the Astrals!

Vyrn: Yeah, we're gonna be going to so many places, you're sure to find who you're looking for!

Lilele: B-but, the Isle of the Astrals is just a legend…

Katalina: That may be, but it's still our destination. Right, (Captain)?

(Captain) nods enthusiastically to Katalina's question.

Rackam: Our captain doesn't know the meaning of "giving up." We've set a course for Estalucia, so we will get there.

Eugen: What do you say, Lilele? Let's go look for your idol together!

Lilele: OK! I… I'll keep looking!

Lilele: I can't give up on my dream, I can't go back to being just another girl.

Lilele forces out a little smile.

The men and women alike in the crew are mesmerized by that hypnotic smile.

Back to top

I Send My Love

Lyria and the others say they've never heard of "Our Future." However, Lilele refuses to accept it. She sees the confusion on Lyria's face and decides that Lyria must be lying in order to hog the stage all to herself. Convinced of this, Lilele goes on a rampage and opens up all the doors on the airship without permission. She arrives at a door marked "Do Not Enter"…

The Grandcypher is moored at a certain island, and Lilele is still doggedly harassing (Captain) and company…

Lilele: Well then, here's my next song… "Sway Your Heart."

Lilele: Rippling water, sparkling stars / Just like the dream I had that night

Lilele: Deep in my heart, that future lives on / Our Future / Please tell me you remember me

Lilele: I'm not lying! It's true!

Vyrn: I'm tellin' ya, kid… I've never heard of Our Future or whatever…

Vyrn: Listen, Lilele, are you sure you're not mixing us up with someone else?

Lilele: I know what I saw! I saw Lyria and everyone else sparkling and dancing!

Lyria: Nnnn… The more I hear, the less I understand…

Seeing Lyria's confusion, Lilele gasps in realization.

Lilele: Oh, I get it now… So that's how it's gonna be, huh, Lyria?

Lyria: Um… What?

Lilele: You're all lying and trying to hide it. You just want me to lower my guard so you can hog the stage for yourselves!

Lyria: Hog the stage? I'm sorry… what? I really don't know what you're talking about…

Lilele: You're pretty good at the whole "cute, innocent pop star" thing, Lyria. You almost had me fooled.

Lyria: What? Lilele, no… I'm not trying to trick you…

Lilele: That look on your face! You're cute, but you're mean, Lyria. You're a mean girl.

Lyria: Ohhh… Lilele, please, just calm down…

Lilele: Just admit it! Where are the other members?

Lilele: Where's Mary, huh? Or Vira? Don't bother trying to hide them, because I will find them!

Lyria: Oh… Lilele, wait!

Lilele runs through the Grandcypher, flinging doors open as she goes.

However, she fails to find the clues she is hoping for.

The last door she arrives at has a foreboding sign pinned to it.

It reads "Do Not Enter"…

Lilele: Jackpot! Hehehe… There's definitely something suspicious about this!

Lilele: And I bet I know exactly what they'd try to hide behind a "Do Not Enter" sign…

Lilele: Those sparkly costumes and accessories they wore during that performance! They've gotta be in there!

The moment she puts her hand on the doorknob…

Lyria: Don't open it, Lilele!

Lilele: Hmph! I knew it! Those costumes are definitely in there!

Vyrn: No! You gotta believe us! You don't want to go in there! That room's where we put the…

Ruffian: What's this? You guys had a change of heart and now you're setting us free?

Lilele: Uhhh… Who are you?

Vyrn: Aw, man… We tried to warn you…

Lyria: We're in the middle of transporting these criminals to the next island over as requested by the island militia…

Lilele: No… That's not right…

Ruffian: The hell's going on here? You know what… After that beatin' you gave us, I think we best take this chance to make our escape!

Vyrn: Looks like we don't have a choice! Come on, (Captain)! We gotta force them back in there again!

I Send My Love: Scene 2

Having finally accepted that Lyria will never admit to singing "Our Future," Lilele sets her sights on the other members. She decides that Vira is her best bet at finding clues, and she begins to investigate her. However, she fails to find any clues. At her wit's end, Lilele takes off running.

Since she was little, Lilele has looked up to Lyria and the others, and strived to be just like them. She won't give up easily…

Lilele: Well then, here's my next song… "Little Star Searching."

Lilele: Where are you, little star? / I hope you haven't gone too far / Please come out, please don't hide / Show me what I saw that night

Lilele: Sing with me, little star / You found me, don't go too far / Where are you? Please don't hide / Sing the song I heard that night

Lilele: That's it! You might not know, but the other members might!

Vyrn: The, uh… other members… Right…

Lilele: So, where's Mary?

Any version of Mary is a crew member

Vyrn: Mary? Well… She's probably off in some ruins, doing some treasure hunting, I guess?

No version of Mary in crew

Vyrn: Mary? We don't have anyone named Mary in the crew.

Lilele: Okay, what about Vira?

Any version of Vira is a crew member

Lyria: Vira goes with Katalina to gather fruit from the forest.

Lilele: The forest, huh? Got it! I'll be right back!

Lyria: Oh! Lilele, wait!
…aaand she's gone…

Vyrn: Aw, man… I really wouldn't bother Vira right now if I were her…

Meanwhile, in a forest not too far away, Katalina and Vira were happily picking fruit.

Katalina: Take a look, Vira! Those apples over there look VERY ripe, don't you think?

Katalina: Hehehe! Vyrn is going to be so excited when we get back. I can just picture it.

Vira: Ugh. What is with you and that lizard? That's NOT why I went out of my way to bring you here…

Vira: I'm doing this for you, Sister… To protect your beauty and health… That's why I searched for this place…

Katalina: Hmm? Did you say something, Vira?

Vira: No… Nothing at all.

Vira: By the way… Something's been bugging me for a while now…

Vira: Why did you invite yourself on my outing with Katalina?

Lilele: Hi, I'm Lilele.

Lilele: Tra la la, overcome those gloomy mornings with Lileleeee! Lilele, the princess of peace! La la…

Vira: Come again?

Katalina: Well, if it isn't Lilele! Perfect timing.

Katalina: I'll give you a boost, so could you pick that apple on that branch there?

Lilele: Sure! Just leave it to me!

Vira: What? What… did you just say? A boost? Physical contact from Katalina?

Vira: Don't make me laugh! You really think I'd let a total stranger touch Katalina? Absolutely not!

Vira: Allow me to give the boost, Katalina. Please, let me handle it!

Katalina: Hmm… You really want to? Well, if you insist… Okay, Lilele, I guess Vira's going to do it.

Vira: Here we go, Katalina! Please, climb on my shoulders!

Katalina: Uh, what are you talking about, Vira?

Vira: Exactly what I said. Come on, Katalina. No need to be shy…

Katalina: Uh, no, Vira. That's not going to work.

Eventually, they manage to harvest the apples, and are on their way back to the Grandcypher when Lilele asks the question.

She asks Vira whether she remembers "Our Future," and…

Vira: Katalina told me about you… Sorry to say, but I don't know any more than Lyria does.

Lilele: No…

Crushed, Lilele lasheds out with words she doesn't really mean.

Lilele: Why? Why would you lie to me too, Vira?

Vira: Lie to you? You think I'm lying?

Vira's expression suddenly hardens.

Vira: Have you tried actually thinking it through? My body, mind and soul exist only for Katalina.

Vira: Do you really think I'd waste my time being a pop star, making other people happy?

Lilele: But… but… I saw you! You were singing, and it looked like you were having fun…

Lilele: You were practically sparkling… and the sight of you encouraged me so much!

Lilele: You were so adorable, Vira, and I wanted to be you… I practiced singing, and took dance lessons every day…

Vira: That's very sweet, but… I have absolutely no recollection of such a thing.

Lilele: …………

Go to "Continue 1"

No version of Vira in crew

Lyria: Vira? Do you mean Vira from Albion?

Lyria: Katalina would know more about her than I do.

Lilele: Okay, then I'll ask Katalina! Do you know where she is?

Lyria: She went into the forest for sword training.

Lilele: Thanks! I'll be right back!

The sounds of Katalina's gallant shouts echoed through the forest…

Katalina: Hyah! Take that! And that!

Katalina: Gasp!

Sensing a presence, Katalina whips around, pointing her blade protectively.

Katalina: Who's there?

???: …………

Katalina: Show yourself. I know you're there. If you don't come out right now…

Lilele: W-wait, Katalina! It's me, Lilele!

Katalina: Huh?

Lilele: See? It's me, Lilele!

Katalina: Oh, hey, Lilele… Whew… Don't spook me like that…

Lilele: I'm sorry, Katalina… You were just so menacing that I was lost for words.

Katalina: So… what do you want? Do you need me for something?

Lilele: …………

Katalina: Hehehe… Okay, let me guess… Is it about Vira?

Lilele: What? How did you know?

Katalina: That thing you were talking about earlier… "Our Future," was it?

Katalina: You said Vira was one of the people who were singing it, right?

Lilele: Yeah. Vira seemed to be having so much fun… She was sparkling…

Katalina: I see… Well, I don't know what you saw, but…

Katalina: The person you saw probably just looked a lot like Vira.

Lilele: What? Why would you say such a thing?

Katalina: At the time you claim to have met her, Vira was stuck in the Albion Citadel.

Katalina: So you couldn't possibly have met her.

Lilele: You're lying…

Continue 1

Katalina: No, I'm not… and the truth is, you know that, don't you?

Lilele: …………

Katalina: But if you admit that, then you feel like you might lose something important to you, so you're scared. Am I right?

Lilele: No.

Katalina: Even if you can't find it, your feelings are real. And that goes for…

Lilele: Enough already! I'm done listening to you!

Unable to endure it any longer, Lilele takes off running at full speed.

Katalina: Wait, Lilele! We're not done talking!

Katalina: Nngh! Look out! STOP!

Suddenly, a dark shadow appears in Lilele's path.

Monster: GRRROOOAAARRR!

Lilele: AAAHH!

I Send My Love: Scene 3

The sun sets, and Lilele finds herself sadly walking alone down the street. Spotting her, Eugen and Rackam call out to her. They try to cheer her up with her favorite food, ramen. However, she apologizes for "what she's about to do" and begins to sing. Knowing her singing has the power to enrapture any man who hears it, she uses her song to try and get the truth out of them.

Before she knows it, Lilele is walking through an unfamiliar town.

Walking alone down the main street, feeling like she is somehow in an alternate dimension, she trembles with loneliness.

Tears well up in her eyes and run down her cheeks, catching on her small lips and mingling with her song…

Lilele: The wonderful song I heard that day / I know it'll reach you too someday / And when it does, you'll sing with me

Lilele: Don't pretend you can't hear it / When it reaches you let's sing it / Together with everyone

Lilele: (You're right, Katalina… You're completely right about me.)

Lilele: (All of you are good people. You'd never lie about something like this.)

Lilele: (But… if I admit that… then who were the people I saw?)

Lilele: (Was it just a dream? A figment of my imagination? No… I don't want to believe that… I don't want to admit I was wrong…)

Lilele: (Out Future… It was my dream, my role model, my rival, my everything…)

Her tiny body shakes with each sob she heaves.

The passersby all pretend not to see her… Then, suddenly, she hears a familiar voice call out from behind her…

Rackam: Well, well, if it isn't Lilele!

Eugen: Oh, hey! What are you doing here? Are ye lost, maybe? Just kiddin'! Hahahaha!

Embarrassed, Lilele hastily wipes away her tears.

Lilele: Oh, it's Rackam! And Eugen! What are you two doing here?

Rackam: Huh? Oh… We, uh… We're just, you know, hanging out. Heh heh!

His gaze flickers to the satchel Eugen is carrying.

This doesn't escape Lilele's notice.

Lilele: Huh? What's that smell? Is that…

Lilele grabs the bag from Eugen and searches its contents, as if possessed.

The moment the knot comes undone and the contents are revealed, her eyes light up.

Lilele: I knew it! Raw noodles! Homemade raw noodles!

Lilele: Ooh! And roasted pork! And soy sauce eggs! And broth, and bamboo shoots!

Eugen: Way to go, Rackam… Now the surprise is ruined, and it's your fault!

Rackam: Sorry, man! I couldn't help it!

Lilele: How? How did you know that ramen is my favorite food?

Rackam: Heh heh! Well, it's written right here, you know. "Has always loved ramen from a young age, perhaps a little too much."

He proudly presents this tome of knowledge… In other words, a signed copy of her official fanbook.

Eugen: You've been pretty gloomy lately, Lilele. So the two of us, we got to talking, and we decided to do something to cheer you up.

Rackam: I guess it worked, huh? Man, nothing suits you better than a smile, Lilele!

Lilele: …………

Eugen: Hm? What's wrong? Are ye choked up with joy?

Lilele: Rackam… Eugen… I don't deserve your kindness… Not after what I'm about to do…

Rackam: Whaddya mean? What's the matter? You're not gonna do something bad, are ya?

Lilele: I know you two will tell me the truth…

Lilele: I'm sorry, Eugen… I'm sorry, Rackam…

Lilele: You see, I know…

Lilele: I know that my singing can make any boy obsessed with me…

Lilele begins to sing. Her song rings out throughout the town, and a crowd of people begins to form.

In a blink, Rackam, Eugen, and a bunch of other people nearby were chanting loudly.

Townsmen: L! O! V! E! That's our lovely Li-le-le! She's our number one! Li-le-le!

Rackam & Eugen: L! O! V! E! That's our lovely Li-le-le! She's our number one! Li-le-le!

Lilele chants back to them, goading them towards the venue.

Then she casually brings up Our Future.

However, neither Rackam nor Eugen seem to know anything.

Lilele: No… Then… it really was just a dream?

Crushed, Lilele stops singing.

A moment later, some thugs that had been cheering for her suddenly come to their senses.

Thug: Hey, small fry! Who gave you permission to be so Lilele and sparkly? Well?

Rackam: What the heck is this guy's problem? He's being ridiculous!

Eugen: Heh! There you go causin' trouble again, little lady! Well then, let's do this, Rackam!

I Send My Love: Scene 4

Lilele apologizes for trying to force her misconceptions on everyone else. But (Captain) and the others tell her not to worry about it. The party encourages her to keep believing in Our Future.

Gathered together on the deck, (Captain) and company watched as Lilele bowed her head.

Lilele: I'm sorry, everyone. I got this stupid idea in my head, and I caused a whole bunch of trouble because of it…

Vyrn: Aw, is that all you wanted to say? Don't sweat it, kid!

Lyria: No one's upset at you, Lilele.

Lilele: I was just upset… It's hard, realizing that everything you believed for a long time was actually a lie…

Lilele: It's as if everything I've done up until now was a total waste of time…

Rackam: Aw, don't say that.

Lilele: Well…

Rackam: You're an incredible singer, Lilele. I mean, within seconds you had a whole crowd of dudes at your beck and call!

Eugen: Yeah, that was incredible! Even we were totally powerless against it!

Lilele: Rackam… Eugen…

Katalina: They're right. It doesn't matter if it was a dream or whatever.

Katalina: That memory you have is what made you into our beloved idol. That's a fact.

Katalina: Just because it didn't actually happen doesn't mean it wasn't real for you.

Lilele: Katalina…

Lyria: She's right, Lilele. If that memory is important to you, then keep believing in it and you'll never lose it.

Lilele closes her eyes for a while and considers what everyone had to say. Then, slowly, she openes her eyes once more…

Lilele: I've made up my mind. Even if no one else acknowledges it, I'm still going to believe it happened.

Lilele: Our Future is real.

All around (Captain) and company, the air practically shimmers with warmth and light.

Her sweet smile has returned at last.

"I'll never doubt myself again." That is the promise Lilele makes to herself that day…

Back to top

What It Means to Sparkle

Lilele receives an invitation to hold a grand concert in Auguste. Moved, she accepts and throws herself into practice and preparations with help from the crew.

One day, a flustered Lilele visits the crew aboard the Grandcypher.

Lilele: (Captain)! Take a look at this—an amazing request just came in!

Lilele (Fire) not in crew

Lilele devotes herself to her dream of shining as the number one idol in the skies.

When Lilele was a child, she once heard the song "Our Future" performed by a four-member idol group. It stirred her heart and awakened her dream of becoming an idol herself.

However, through a mysterious incident entwined with a primal beast, she came to learn that the very group she had so admired hailed from another world altogether.

Accepting this truth and vowing to one day find them, Lilele sets forth with renewed resolve—pursuing her path as an idol with a heart alight in hope.

Lilele: See? Just take a look at this!

Lilele places a letter in front of (Captain) and the others.

Vyrn: Let's see... An invitation to hold a grand concert in Auguste?

Lilele: Yes! It's from the person who organized the summer fest I got to perform at before.

Lilele once performed at a summer festival held in Auguste.

Although she faced sabotage from industry rivals, Lilele managed to thrill the audience with an amazing show.

Lilele: They were so moved by my performance that they want to see if I'll do a solo concert!

Lyria: That's amazing! They must really adore you as an idol, Lilele!

Vyrn: No doubt this is huge, but are you sure it's the real deal? Fingers crossed that it's not gonna turn out to be some secret ramen event again...

Lilele: Oh, come on—I promise it's fine this time! Just read the rest of the letter, okay?

The letter is full of heartfelt words from the organizer to Lilele.

Organizer: "Lilele, you brought so much energy to Auguste's summer; I was truly moved."

Organizer: "That's why I'd like to offer you a chance to hold your own solo concert at those same festival grounds!"

Lilele: See, it's incredible! They're trusting a venue as big as the summer fest to me alone!

Vyrn: No kidding... You're in the major leagues, Lilele!

Don't push yourself too hard.
Let's go to Auguste right now!

Choose: Don't push yourself too hard.

Lilele: Oh, (Captain)! You don't actually think I'm secretly freaking out over this invite, do you?

Lilele: It's true—filling such a huge venue all by myself is a big challenge.

Lilele: But the organizer believes in me enough to send this letter, so there's no way I can turn him down!

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Let's go to Auguste right now!

Lilele: Haha, sounds like you're just as fired up as I am, (Captain)!

Lilele: For a concert this big, we could never have enough time to prepare.

Lilele: Just working out the stage plan will be tough, and I'll need to focus on my rehearsals more than ever.

Lilele: I can't let down the organizer and the fans who are looking forward to the show!

Continue 1

???: Heh... That's our Lilele. After hearing your resolve, there's no way we're sitting this one out.

???: As the Grandcypher branch of the Lilele Fan Club, we'll be sure to lend a hand too!

Lilele: Ah... I know those voices!

Lilele: Rackam! Eugen!

Eugen: So a grand solo concert, huh? Looks like your time's come at last. If there's anything we can do, just say the word.

Rackam: Leave the promotion to me! I'll fly all over the skies plastering posters everywhere!

Lyria: Of course we'll help too! Let's make sure Lilele's big concert is a huge success!

Lilele: Thanks! Your support will help make the stage sparkle brighter than ever!

And so, Lilele and company set out for Auguste to meet with the organizer.

Lilele: Good morning!

Organizer: Lilele! Thank you so much for accepting our offer!

Lilele: The pleasure's all mine! So has the schedule leading up to the concert been worked out yet?

Organizer: Yes, and it's all written up. Given the scale of the event, we've left plenty of time for preparation.

Organizer: We've also asked Sierokarte to assist with stage setup. If possible, I'd like to meet soon to go over the details.

Lilele: I see... okay! We'll need to decide some of the setlist before we can work out the stage plan.

Lilele: Also, is there a room I can borrow for rehearsals?

Lilele: It looks like we'll have a lot of meetings, and if possible, I'd like to stay in Auguste until the day of the show...

Organizer: Of course! We'll reserve a hotel near the beach and a training room for you—please use them as much as you need.

Organizer: If there's anything else you might need or any additional spaces required, just let us know and we'll see what we can do!

Vyrn: Wow, they're really rollin' out the red carpet for ya...

Lyria: Lilele, you're handling all of this so efficiently! It's so cool to watch!

Lilele: All right, I've decided! No ramen for me until the big day—I'm dedicating myself fully to rehearsals!

Rackam: There's still a while until showtime... You're going to give up ramen for that whole period? It's your favorite food...

Eugen: Love the gung-ho attitude, but don't push yourself so hard you burn out before the concert, all right?

Lilele: No need to worry—I'll pace myself! I want to be healthy and full of energy for the show!

Lilele: By keeping myself disciplined, I'll be able to give a performance worthy of such a big stage!

Lilele: It'd make me happy if you'd all watch my determination in action!

Rackam & Eugen: Lilele!

Lilele soon gets to work, preparing for her solo concert.

Sierokarte: Hmm, I see... So you want the back rows of the spectator seats to be higher than at summer fest?

Lilele: Yes. It might make safety a little harder to manage, but I think everyone will have a better view.

Lilele: I want everyone who comes to be able to see my smile, no matter where they're sitting!

Sierokarte: Then let's set it up like an amphitheater, with the seats rising in tiers like a bowl.

Lilele: Wow, thank you so much!

Sierokarte: Oh, and this is just an idea, but...

Sierokarte: What if, apart from the main stage, we set up a small stage in the center of the audience?

Lilele: That's a great idea! That way, everyone can see my smile up close!

Sierokarte: Since it's a special performance, it's only fair the spotlight is right in the center—allowing you to steal the show from center stage, so to speak!

Sierokarte: Tee-hee-hee...

Lilele: Yes! I'll capture everyone's attention and keep all eyes on me!

Lilele: As for stage lighting...

Lilele spends her days in rehearsals for singing and dancing from morning until night, while also staying on top of stage setup meetings.

Meanwhile, (Captain) and the others venture across various islands to drum up support for the concert.

What It Means to Sparkle: Scene 2

While preparing for the concert, she discovers the cheer captains of her fans clubs quarreling. Learning it stemmed from one of them supporting another idol, she worries she's at the root of the issue.

After roughly a dozen days of concert prep in Auguste...

Lilele gets a surprise visit from the crew, who come bearing gifts.

Lyria: Hello, Lilele! We brought you something—why not take a little break?

Vyrn: (Captain) found these amazing smoothies at a street stall! They're supposed to be great for fightin' off fatigue!

Lilele: Wow, thank you so much! I'll gladly take you up on that and have a little break!

Lilele: Mmm, it's so tart and yummy! I feel completely recharged after all that practice!

Vyrn: You've been practicin' all morning again today. How's it coming along?

Lilele: Things are going smoothly! There's still plenty of room for improvement, but I'll be ready to sparkle when the time comes!

Lilele: I heard tickets are selling really well, thanks to all your efforts with the publicity!

Lilele: I really appreciate it! I'll make sure not to let anyone down—I promise!

Just then, some rowdy voices are heard from outside the window.

Lyria: Huh? There's some commotion coming from outside... What could it be about?

Vyrn: Sounds like people yellin' at each other... What's goin' on? Tipsy folks pickin' a fight this early in the day?

Lilele: Wait, hang on! I recognize those voices!

Lilele: They're the people who always come out to cheer for me!

Lyria: Ah! Wait, Lilele!

Vyrn: Could be dicey to go alone! Let's go after her, (Captain)!

When (Captain) and company arrive at the scene of the commotion, they find men facing off, voices raised in anger.

Fanboy 1: How many times do I have to spell it out? You're nothing but a lousy, two-timing jerk! You don't deserve to call yourself a captain!

Fanboy 2: You're such a mess—I honestly pity the members who follow you!

Fanboy 3: Shut it! You're just another fanboy—don't act like you know it all!

Rackam: Hey, guys, take it down a notch! Keep this up, and security's gonna show up!

Eugen: Looks like we might need to be a little rough to get these guys to cool off—

Lilele: Please, no more squabbling! It's time for a special Lilele song to cheer everyone up!

Lilele: Please listen to... "Dream-Colored Miracle"!

With a singing voice as bright as dawn, Lilele stifles the turmoil.

The men's anger instantly melts away, and all hearts turn toward her.

Fanbois: L! O! V! E! That's our lovely Lilele!

The men, forgetting all about their quarrel, erupt into fervent cheers for Lilele.

Lyria: Wow... Lilele's singing is as amazing as ever!

Vyrn: Sheesh... So what were you guys fighting about anyway? And who even are you?

Lilele: Vyrn, these are the captains who always support me.

Vyrn: Captains? Wait, you mean these guys are skyfarers or somethin'?

Rackam: No, Vyrn. They're "captains" in the sense that they're the heads of Lilele's fan clubs.

Eugen: Lilele's got fan clubs in each region, complete with cheering squads.

Eugen: There are three main clubs based around Port Breeze—east, west, and south.

Eugen: And within those clubs, the captains share concert info and lead the cheers at her shows.

Vyrn: "Lead the cheers"? That's a thing? I figured people just rolled up to any concert and went wild on their own.

Lilele: Of course, everyone is free to come and have as much fun as they want at my shows!

Lilele: But it does make me happy when people remember the chants and dances for certain songs.

Lilele: The cheer captains help teach those things to new fans who join in.

Lilele: And lately, since I've been performing all over so many islands, it must be tough to keep up with all the info.

Lilele: The captains also act as coordinators, sharing my concert updates with the rest of the fans.

Lilele: I'm really grateful for your efforts! Thank you all so much!

East Captain: Hehe... When you put it that way, it's kinda embarrassing...

West Captain: We just chase after you because you're so adorable—it's nothing special, honestly.

East Captain: Right. But I still want to always do my best as a fan rep—that won't change.

East Captain: Never thought someone who didn't deserve that role would show up though!

East Captain glares at South Captain.

Rackam: Aw, come on! Quit it already!

Lilele: I almost forgot! I ran all the way here to get you to stop fighting!

Lilele: Could you tell me why you were arguing in the first place?

South Captain: Well...

Rather than South Captain, it is East Captain who speaks up, his words laced with disdain.

East Captain: It all started when West Captain and I heard about Lilele's concert and came to Auguste for a look-see.

East Captain: This time, we came to check things out beforehand. I wanted to see the size of the venue and figure out how we'd cheer.

East Captain: After giving the place a once-over, we were planning to do a bit of sightseeing and head home. But then...

Blossoming Idol: You came again today? That makes me so happy!

South Captain: Ehehe... Hey, your performance was great today.

South Captain: I'll be around Auguste for a while, so... is it all right if I stop by again?

Blossoming Idol: Of course! I'm still inexperienced, but I'll do my best to reach you with my music!

South Captain: Great! See you again, then...

South Captain: Man, what a cutie she is...

East Captain: Hey, you! No wonder we couldn't get ahold of you—you were in Auguste all along.

South Captain: Wha... Why are you two here?

West Captain: We're scoping out the venue for Lilele's concert. We're covering for you, so it was extra tough coming up with a cheer routine...

East Captain: But I never thought... you'd be fawning over some other idol...

South Captain: Sh-shut up! I never said I dropped Lilele! I just want to cheer this girl on too, is all!

East Captain: What are you saying! Lilele's got a huge concert coming up!

East Captain: Don't you think you should be setting a good example for all the other fans as a captain?

South Captain: I'm not a fan out of obligation! I might be a captain, but I've still got my freedom!

East Captain: What did you say?

Rackam: So, that's when Eugen and I happened by and tried to step in—then you all showed up.

Lilele: Um, so...

Lilele: Does that mean you all started fighting because of me?

What It Means to Sparkle: Scene 3

Though the quarrel ends, West Captain admits he plans to stop supporting Lilele after her next concert, believing she won't be an idol forever. Lilele is forced to face the reality that her career has limits.

Lilele: I can't believe everyone was fighting because of me...

South Captain: N-no, that's not it! Lilele, you didn't do anything wrong!

East Captain: Humph, of course she didn't! The one at fault is this traitor right here!

South Captain: Stop calling me a traitor! My devotion to Lilele hasn't changed in the least!

South Captain: It's just that... well... Lately, there haven't been as many Lilele concerts...

South Captain: It's been a long time since I could see her, and I guess my passion just started to cool off a little.

Lilele: (It's true—I've cut back on my usual activities to focus on preparing for this grand solo concert...)

Lilele: (Maybe my fans have been feeling a bit lonely as a result...)

South Captain: But once I heard you're putting on a grand concert for people from all over the skies, it kind of felt like you were going somewhere far away.

South Captain: Around that time, I caught an up-and-coming idol's show and thought she was really giving it her all.

South Captain: And, well, I guess I just wanted to cheer her on almost as much as I do you...

East Captain: Hah—excuses, excuses. Stanning another idol is an insult to Lilele!

East Captain: To think someone like that could still call himself "Captain" and stand beside me cheering—you make me sick!

Lilele: U-um... I appreciate how strongly you all feel, but you don't have to put it like that...

Lilele: I'm grateful for any bit of support you can give...

East Captain: No way—we swore to dedicate our lives to supporting you! For a captain to go back on that is a disgrace!

East Captain turns around to face West Captain.

East Captain: Hey, you agree with me, right? Tell him: Once a stan, always a stan!

West Captain: Y-yeah... I guess you're right... Changing your fave isn't good, yeah...

Lilele: ...?

Eugen: All right, that's enough—cool your heads already. Keep this up, and you'll only make things harder for Lilele.

Eugen: And think about it—if a particular idol's fans start making a scene, what does that say about the idol herself?

East Captain: Ugh... You're right. If we end up causing problems for Lilele, that'd defeat the whole purpose...

East Captain: Guess I'll grab a bite at the beach house and try to cool off a bit.

West Captain: Sorry, Lilele. I'll step away too and take a moment to clear my head.

Lilele: No, really, it's fine—I'm just glad you all stopped fighting!

Lilele: Auguste is a wonderful place, so maybe you could have some fun sightseeing until the concert!

West Captain: Y-yeah... I'll do that...

As Lilele waves goodbye, the cheer captains wander off in different directions...

Lilele: To be honest, I'm still worried... (Captain), would you mind coming with me for a moment?

Lilele: Um, Captain! Do you have a moment?

West Captain: L-Lilele! Why are you here?

Lilele: I'm sorry... I didn't mean to be nosy, but...

Lilele: I couldn't help noticing you seemed a bit down earlier.

Lilele: Has something been weighing on you? Maybe something you couldn't bring up in front of everyone?

Lilele: If it's hard to tell me, you could always talk to (Captain) and the others instead.

Lilele: (Captain) is a top-notch skyfarer who's great at helping with all kinds of worries!

Vyrn: Wait, you really expect (Captain) to solve the worries of a complete stranger?

Lilele: Well, I just can't ignore the troubles of my precious fans!

West Captain: ...

Moved by Lilele's earnestness, West Captain thinks it over for a while, then forces a wry smile.

West Captain: You really are amazing, Lilele... just like we expect from our idol.

West Captain: Even though I'm not much of a fan compared to the others...

Lilele: Wh-what do you mean?

West Captain: I... I've been thinking that maybe, after this concert, I'll stop following you so closely.

Lilele: Huh?

West Captain: Ah, it's not because I don't like you anymore or because I want to stan someone else!

West Captain: The truth is, I'm thinking of getting married soon.

West Captain: I don't know if my wife would understand my idol fandom, and if I have kids, traveling for concerts would be really hard.

West Captain: To be honest, up until recently, I still prioritized being a fan over settling down—and it even made me hesitate about marriage.

West Captain: But when I heard about your big solo concert, I thought maybe now's the right time to step back.

Vyrn: How come though? This next show's a huge deal for Lilele...

West Captain: When I first heard about this concert, for just a moment I wondered if you were planning to go out with a grand farewell performance.

Lilele: B-but I'm not retiring! I have no intention of that at all!

West Captain: Of course, I know that. There weren't any announcements about a retirement concert. But at that moment, it hit me...

West Captain: Even if you don't retire now, it's not like you'll be an idol forever.

West Captain: That made me wonder if maybe I should start focusing on the person I'll spend my life with.

Lilele: ...

Hearing West Captain's words, Lilele is left speechless and falls silent.

With an uncomfortable look, West Captain quietly apologizes to Lilele before walking away.

What It Means to Sparkle: Scene 4

Realizing her fans' worries, Lilele reflects on the path she should take as an idol. Remembering the idols from the song "Our Future" who once inspired her, she resolves to face her own future.

After mediating the quarrel between the cheer captains, (Captain) and the others return to the rehearsal room.

But Lilele does not resume practice. She sits down in a chair and lets out a long sigh.

Lilele: ...

Lyria: Lilele...

Vyrn: Wow... Pretty rare to see ya so down in the dumps, Lilele.

Vyrn: I mean, sure, nobody wants to see their fans leave 'em...

Lilele: That's not it, Vyrn. I'll admit fans straying from me is upsetting...

Lilele: But that's an unavoidable part of being an idol. So in the end, that's not what really worries me.

Lilele: What is hard for me is when supporting me ends up causing pain for my fans...

Lilele: I was just trying to remember what being an idol means to me...

Looking for a change in direction?
Don't tell me... you're really retiring?

Choose: Looking for a change in direction?

Lilele: Hmm, a change in direction... Like starting over as a group or something?

Lilele: To be honest, I'm always on the lookout for an opportunity to debut as a group with Lyria and the others...

Lilele: Maybe we can even do one song as a group during this next concert...

Lyria: Wha—whaaat! You can't just spring it on me like that!

Lilele: Haha, just kidding! I wouldn't do that.

Lilele: Still, even if it's not that extreme, I feel like I should rethink my goals in a big way.

Lilele: See, until now, I always chased my dream of being like the four who sang "Our Future."

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Don't tell me... you're really retiring?

Lilele: Yeah, I suppose...

Lilele: On the biggest stage of my life, before an audience full of the most devoted fans who've supported me all this way...

Lilele: With tears in my eyes, I'll announce that...

Lilele: "I'm going back to being a normal girl!"

Lilele: Except, no, (Captain)! I'm not planning anything even remotely like that!

Vyrn: You sounded like you were gettin' really into it though...

Lilele: That's what being an idol's all about: going with the flow and giving the perfect reaction!

Lilele: Seriously though... Up until now, I always strove to be like the four who sang "Our Future."

Continue 1

Lilele: But I feel like I've reached a turning point with that goal now.

Vyrn: You mean that dream you always bring up? Where you saw Lyria and others as idols on some fancy stage?

Lilele: (That's right. On that day, I met Djeeta and the others in a parallel world...)

Djeeta: We were able to reach out to each other across universes. You, I, and the rest of the girls... We made a miracle happen.

Djeeta: Whatever you do, don't give up. We'll be rooting for you on our journey.

Lilele: And I'll be rooting for you girls too!

Lilele: But now that I think about it, where did "Our Future" come from in the first place?

Lilele: I heard it first from Djeeta and the others... who supposedly learned it from me...

Lilele never did learn where the song she longed for truly came from, nor did she ever find her idols in this world.

But Lilele doesn't let that deter her—she chooses to stay positive and keep moving forward.

Lilele: Oh well. Thinking about it isn't going to solve anything! But I have a feeling I'll get my answer as my journey continues!

Lilele: From now on I will live for the future!

Lilele: That's right... I have to keep moving forward toward the future...

Lilele: Because that's what it means to be Lilele the idol...

Lilele: (If I let myself stay down like this, Djeeta from that day would just laugh at me!)

Lilele: Okay, that's enough moping! Switching gears is part of being an idol!

Lilele: I want to do a thorough job of reassessing myself, so please, give me some ideas!

Eugen: Thinking it through and picking yourself back up all alone... That's damn admirable.

Eugen: If you're tryin' to look inward... how about listening to what others have to say about you?

Eugen: There's gotta be at least one person in the crew who's connected with the idol world, right?

Lilele: Hmm, I see... Good point!

Rackam: Or maybe now's a good time to take a real break and refresh yourself.

Rackam: Taking some time away from your idol work might help you see things from a new angle.

Rackam: Knowing you, Lilele, I bet your rehearsals are going pretty well, yeah?

Lilele: That's true... There actually is a little wiggle room in the schedule, so that sounds great!

Sierokarte: Another idea might be to have a talk with the cheer captains again too.

Vyrn: Ack! Where the heck did you pop out of?

Sierokarte: Teehee, sorry to startle you.

Sierokarte: I just came to tell you that construction on the stage has started, but it looked like you were all having an important conversation.

Lilele: Nice timing, Sierokarte!

Lilele: If the stage is under construction, we won't need as many meetings anymore.

Lilele: That means even if I walk all over the place, I won't be in anyone's way.

Lilele: Once I've sorted myself out, I'll have plenty of time to talk to the cheer captains too!

Sierokarte: Teehee, you're all fired up—go fan out your fans' worries!

Lilele: Okay!

Lilele jots down the advice of Sierokarte and the others in her notebook, nodding in satisfaction.

Then in order to reflect on herself, she dashes out of the rehearsal hall.

Back to top

Your Future with Lilele

Lilele visits Diantha, who describes how her fans still supported her after her retirement. Lilele decides she wants to shine not just now, but forevermore. Diantha then teaches her how to make cheering torches called tlepilli.

"As an idol, what do I really want for myself?"

To answer that, Lilele visits a particular friend aboard the Grandcypher.

Lilele: Diantha! Thank you for making time for me today!

Diantha: Oh, don't mention it! You said you had something on your mind? Whatever it is, I hope I can be of help!

No version of Diantha in crew

The one answering Lilele with a smile is Diantha, a former maiden of Xochitl Island.

She became friends with the crew through an incident involving Xolotl, the island's guardian deity.

Having graduated as a maiden and begun training as an apprentice priestess, she now travels with the crew as part of her studies.

Lilele: Diantha, I've actually always been curious about the maidens of Xochitl Island.

Lilele: Many of the fans who cheer me on take ideas for their chants from your fans—the ichnia!

Diantha: Wow, really? It's true that what we maidens do is quite similar to idol work.

Lilele: You all practice together, stand on stage, and have so many fans—or ichnia—cheering you on.

Lilele: And on that note, Diantha... I wanted to ask you about retiring.

Lilele: I heard from (Captain) that you're no longer serving as a maiden.

Lilele: When you graduated, were the ichnia sad? Did they try to stop you from stepping down?

Diantha: Hmm... Actually, on Xochitl Island, it's customary for maidens to retire at sixteen.

Diantha: The ichnia all know that from the start and support us anyway.

Lilele: So they go into it fully aware that it's a short-term thing...

Lilele: Um, about those ichnia who supported you most—what are they doing now?

Lilele: If they're still hurting because you're gone, that would be kind of rough...

Diantha: Well... I don't think there are many people who are still down about it.

Diantha: If anything, I think a lot of them are eagerly thinking about who they want to support next.

Lilele: I see... That makes sense... but, um—doesn't that make you feel a bit lonely sometimes?

Lilele: I get it in theory, but in that situation I think I'd feel like, "Wait, you forgot about me that fast?"

Diantha: Hehe, I don't think it's that they forget.

Diantha: Even now, when I go back to Xochitl, the ichnia who used to cheer me on come running when they see me!

Diantha: They say things like, "You gave it everything you had, so we're doing the same with our cheering now!"

Diantha: When they say that, I realize that even now my efforts are motivating someone, and it really warms my heart.

Diantha: What's more, some ichnia still refer to themselves as "Team Diantha" as a way to remember that time.

Diantha: That kind of encouragement motivates me to study harder and become a full-fledged priestess as soon as I can!

Lilele: You're amazing, Diantha. I respect you now more than ever.

Diantha: Huh? Y-you really mean that?

Lilele: Because even after graduating, you're still sparkling in the hearts of your fans!

Lilele: I want to become an idol who shines like that in everyone's hearts too...

Murmuring her dream, Lilele suddenly jolts upright in the next moment.

Lilele: That's it!
After saying it myself, everything just clicked!

Lilele: The kind of idol I want to be is one who keeps on sparkling, no matter what happens!

Lilele: More than just a fleeting moment—I want to remain in everyone's hearts as a bundle of happy memories!

Diantha: Hehe, I think you can definitely be that kind of idol, Lilele.

Diantha: This upcoming concert is bound to turn into a sparkling memory for all your fans too!

Lilele: Thank you! I'll do my best to shine brighter than ever before!

Lilele: Oh, that's right! All this talk about sparkling just reminded me of something!

Lilele: On Xochitl Island, they use those glittering props called "tlepilli" for performances, right?

Lilele: I've always been really curious about tlepilli... How do you make them?

Diantha: Tlepilli are actually handmade by the ichnia for our performances.

Diantha: They light torches at the venue, and by transferring the flames to glass tubes, they shine in brilliant colors.

Diantha: The color of each tlepilli shows which maiden a fan is supporting.

Lilele: I see... So, it's a tool for anyone in the audience to make their support seen!

Lilele: What a wonderful idea that is! If everyone waved tlepilli together, it would show just how much fun they're having...

Lilele: And if there's a bright light close to people's faces, I'll be able to see each and every fan's face even from far away!

Lilele: Which also means I'll be able to reach out to every single person watching!

Having a request in mind, Lilele bows deeply at Diantha.

Lilele: I have a favor to ask, Diantha! Won't you please teach me how to make tlepilli?

Lilele: I want to give tlepilli to everyone who comes to the concert!

Lilele: I want to create extra beautiful tlepilli that can be seen no matter how far away they are from the stage!

Diantha: Of course! I'll ask the island's ichnia and the head priestess for their input too.

Diantha: With everyone's combined experiences making tlepilli, we should be able to come up with just the right idea for a big stage!

Diantha: Let's make the most wonderful lights ever and share them with all your fans, Lilele!

Lilele: Thank you!

Your Future with Lilele: Scene 2

Lilele goes to the handshake event of the blossoming idol one of her cheer captains had seen. The girl says she draws courage from Lilele's sparkle; those words remind Lilele of her own younger self, restoring her resolve.

After being inspired by Diantha's explanation of tlepilli, Lilele next visits a small beach house.

Inside, a crowd of a dozen or so has gathered around a single young girl.

Lilele: (This is it—the handshake event for the idol rumored to be South Captain's new favorite...)

Lilele: (I'll be sure to take in every detail, so I can learn from it for the future!)

Blossoming Idol: Ah! You came again! Thank you so much—it means a lot to me!

South Captain: Me too! Being here with you brightens my day!

Blossoming Idol: I'm doing a concert tomorrow, so please come if you can! I'll be unveiling a new song!

South Captain: Really? Then I suppose I'd better cheer you on from the front row!

Lilele: (South Captain looks so happy, talking with that sparkling smile...)

Lilele: (I thought I was planning a huge live show for everyone's sake... but was that just my own ego talking?)

Lilele: (Maybe, in reality, people wish for concerts and handshake events in a smaller, more intimate fashion like this?)

Lilele: (No, I've come too far now to start being wishy-washy about it. That'd make me a failure of an idol.)

Lilele: (Still, she's got such a shine to her... There's definitely something for me to learn here!)

Blossoming Idol: Who's next?

Lilele: Um... Nice to meet you!

Blossoming Idol: Hi, is this your first time at one of my shows? And you're a girl! I'm so ha—

Blossoming Idol: Wait... Aaah! A-a-are you possibly... Lilele?

Lilele: Uh, yes! I'm Lilele! I mean... ahem.

Lilele: Princess of peace, Lilele here! Miss, do you know about me?

Blossoming Idol: Of course I do! I decided to become an idol after seeing you, Lilele!

Lilele: What! R-really?

Blossoming Idol: Yes! I'm originally from Auguste, and I happened to see you at Ramenfest!

Blossoming Idol: You were so cute, happily gobbling up ramen...

Blossoming Idol: And then at the Auguste Festival, your flawless performance just swept me off my feet!

Blossoming Idol: I debuted as an idol here in Auguste hoping to one day perform at the same festival as you!

Lilele: Really?

Lilele: Haha, that really brightens my day!

Blossoming Idol: Ah, what an angelic smile! How lucky I am to get to see you up close!

Blossoming Idol: I'm really looking forward to your upcoming concert! I'll do my best to get a front-row seat!

Lilele: And I look forward to seeing you at the venue!

Lilele: It's going to be packed, but I promise I'll find you in the crowd and do something special for y—

Lilele's words falter unexpectedly.

Hesitantly, she poses a question to the fellow idol.

Lilele: Um... do you ever feel like I've gone too far away from you?

Blossoming Idol: Huh? What do you mean?

Lilele: Since so much of my time has gone into preparing for the grand concert, I haven't been able to put on my regular performances as often...

Lilele: And with such a big venue, the distance between me and the audience grows too...

Lilele: I started to wonder if maybe it's something the fans aren't too happy about...

Blossoming Idol: N-no way! I'm really, really looking forward to it!

The girl vehemently shakes her head, gripping Lilele's hand tightly as she speaks.

Blossoming Idol: I mean, it's true I'm still a fairly new fan, so maybe I can't speak for the longtime ones...

Blossoming Idol: But Lilele, no matter what kind of venue it is, you always go out of your way to connect with each and every fan!

Blossoming Idol: Even at the summer festival, you looked right at me! I never felt far away from you!

Lilele: O-of course! Every audience member who comes to see me is an important fan!

Blossoming Idol: See? The fact you can say that so sincerely makes you amazing, Lilele! You should be more confident in yourself!

Blossoming Idol: Seeing you working so hard on the big stage gives me courage too.

Blossoming Idol: It makes me want to shine in the same place someday and spread that joy to my own fans.

Blossoming Idol: Lilele, your sparkle gives me strength for tomorrow!

Lilele: ...!

At that moment, Lilele feels like she can see her younger self behind the blossoming idol.

Lilele: (The brightness in this girl's eyes... I imagine I was the same when I first saw "Our Future"!)

Lilele: (Have I become a guiding light for up-and-coming idols like her, the way those four once were for me?)

Lilele: Thank you so much! Talking to you has really lifted my spirits!

Lilele: I hope to see you at the concert!

Lilele: And you can be sure I'll find you in the crowd and give you attention!

With that, Lilele blows a little kiss to the young idol.

Blossoming Idol: ...!
Lilele, you're the best!

Seeing that sparkling gesture, the girl is completely charmed and cries out for joy.

Your Future with Lilele: Scene 3

Lilele has a heart-to-heart talk with each of the three cheer captains and reassures them, vowing to share her sparkle with all at the concert.

Lilele: (My path as an idol is clear at last. All that's left is to share this feeling with everyone who's been worried...)

Lilele: (By executing the very last step in my self-reflection plan!)

Lilele: It's time to kick off... Lilele's Vacation Visit Tour!

Lilele's first stop is the inn where West Captain is staying.

Lilele: Hello, Captain!

West Captain: Ah, Lilele! What brings you here?

Lilele: Ehehe, last time, we parted ways while you were still feeling down... I wanted to talk with you a bit more.

Lilele: And also, I came to give you this.

Lilele hands West Captain a flyer for her concert.

West Captain: This is... for your concert, right? I was planning on coming even if you didn't give me one...

Lilele: It's just a flyer, but there's more to go along with it.

Lilele: I wanted to personally tell you how I feel, in hopes that you'll enjoy the concert to the fullest.

Lilele points to the illustration of herself printed on the flyer.

Lilele: Look at this glittery, smiling picture of me!

Lilele: I had it drawn to capture the smile I mean to share at the concert.

West Captain: Oh... I-it really is gorgeous, for sure...

Lilele: It's not just for this concert. I want to carry the same feelings into every performance from now on... always.

Lilele: So even if you get married and can't come to my concerts anymore, that's okay.

West Captain: Huh?

Despite West Captain's gasp of surprise, Lilele's expression remains beaming.

Lilele: I imagine it'll be lonely. But as an idol, I'll always be waiting for you.

Lilele: And if your wife isn't a fan of idols, then I'll work even harder to win her over!

Lilele: I'll become the ultimate idol who can brighten the day of your entire family.

Lilele: And someday, when you come to see me perform again, I'll be waiting with the brightest smile!

West Captain: Lilele...

Lilele: So there's no need to feel anxious about this maybe being the last concert you'll see.

Lilele: Rather, just think of this as your chance to charge up before you have to take some time away!

Lilele: And I'll do my best to deliver enough sparkle to last you for years!

West Captain: Thank you so much, Lilele! To be honest, thinking this might be my last concert really bummed me out.

West Captain: But hearing you say all that made me realize I wanna go all out cheering for you too!

West Captain: Which means... I've got to start practicing the cheer routines with everyone right away!

Lilele: Yes, please do! I look forward to seeing you all in action!

Next, Lilele heads to the place where South Captain has just finished watching the blossoming idol's concert.

Lilele: South Captain! It's the princess of peace, Lilele, here!

South Captain: L-Lilele! This is, um...

Lilele: Oh, no need to worry! That concert just now was really good, wasn't it!

South Captain: Huh? You were watching her show too, Lilele?

South Captain asks in wonder at Lilele's cheerful tone.

Lilele: Yes, it was truly wonderful! She connected with every single fan, and her song and dance seemed so polished...

Lilele: It reminded me that I have to stay on top of my game too.

Lilele hands a concert flyer to South Captain.

Lilele: Here, take this. At my next concert, I promise you won't ever feel like I've gone far away.

Lilele: No matter where you are in the venue, I'll make sure to meet your eyes and give 100 percent to every note and step!

Lilele: So won't you come and shine with me?

South Captain: Even though I let my attention drift to another idol, you're still inviting me?

Lilele: Teehee. With my charm, there's no way you could truly change favorites!

Lilele: Honestly, that idol is just as dazzling as I am, but...

Lilele: Just you wait... You'll leave my concert thinking, "Why not both?" I just know it!

Finally, Lilele heads to see East Captain.

He is enjoying a drink with Rackam and Eugen while reflecting on the recent quarrel.

East Captain: Lilele, I'm so sorry... Despite how busy you are with your rehearsals, we just had to go and trouble you with our squabbles...

Lilele: I'm fine, but... What exactly is it that made you so angry, Captain?

East Captain: Honestly, I just couldn't handle the thought of you being distressed over fans dropping you in favor of someone else.

East Captain: I was worried you'd quit being an idol if you let it get to you. Though maybe I overreacted...

East Captain: In retrospect, that was just me being selfish. I caused a ton of trouble for you, Rackam, Eugen... I'm really sorry.

Eugen: Haha, don't beat yourself up. It just goes to show what a big fan you are, right?

Rackam and Eugen pat East Captain on the shoulder, trying to cheer him up.

Lilele: Hey, Captain. You and the others have been watching over me ever since I was just a brand-new idol, haven't you?

Lilele: I remember my very small, first-ever stage... It was just you three captains who stopped to listen to me sing.

East Captain: Ah... Those were the days. You were sparkling even back then, Lilele.

Lilele: Even though you three were the only ones in the audience, I still performed as best as I could.

Lilele: That feeling hasn't changed, not even now. Does it seem like I've changed to you though?

East Captain: Nuh-uh... Not at all. You still sing your heart out for us, just like always.

East Captain: No matter how much your skills as a performer improve, that burning drive of yours has never dwindled.

Lilele: I'm glad my sincerity's reached you.

Lilele: So please, don't ever think I'd lose motivation just because I might have fewer fans.

East Captain: Ah!

Lilele: Of course, the cheers of my fans make my performances truly shine!

Lilele: But even if there's only one person in the audience, I'll give them all the sparkle I can.

Lilele: All I ask is that you come to my shows and cheer for me with all your heart, without a care in the world.

Lilele: That'd make me shine a million times brighter as an idol!

East Captain: Yeah... You're right. Guess I need to have more faith in you, Lilele.

East Captain: Once again, I apologize! For the upcoming concert, I'll make sure to focus on having fun myself!

Lilele: I'm glad you understand!

Lilele: If you happen to still feel a bit anxious that day, don't worry—I'm sure everything will be fine.

Lilele: Because once you feel my sparkle, your worries will just melt away!

East Captain: Uoooogh! That confidence makes you irresistibly cute, Lilele!

Rackam: Haha, look at that; you're back to your old self already! Lilele's a charmer for sure.

East Captain: Sorry for dragging you and Eugen along for such a dull drinking session, Rackam.

East Captain: To show my appreciation, I'll cover the tab tonight. Drink as much as you'd like!

Eugen: Hey, sounds good to me! Care to join us, Lilele?

Lilele: Yes, gladly!

East Captain: Now this is what I call a party! L! O! V! E! Lilele!

Seeing East Captain back to his usual cheerful self, Lilele finally breathes a sigh of relief.

Your Future with Lilele: Scene 4

On concert day, Lilele relates her wish to brighten her fans' lives and remain in their hearts far into the future. Pulling off a triumphant performance, she is ready to take her next step toward becoming a super idol.

The day of the grand concert finally arrives.

A massive stage is set up on the beach, and the amphitheater-esque seats are packed tight with excited fans.

Rackam: Phew, main event's about to kick off... With this big a crowd, even I'm startin' to get the jitters.

Eugen: What are you talkin' about? If you've got nothing better to do with your hands, get those lights ready.

Eugen holds a glowing glass tube in his hand.

Rackam: You mean the Lilele Lights? Gotta admit they turned out real pretty—no surprise, with how particular Lilele was about 'em.

The Lilele Light is a magical torch inspired by the tlepilli.

Eugen: I heard East Captain even came up with choreography using the Lilele Lights. Look, he's leading practice over there.

East Captain: To the right, to the left, to the right, to the left! L-O-V-E! Lilele!

East Captain: Good job, everyone; keep it up!

West Captain: I'll have to cheer as hard as I can too, since I might not get to see Lilele for a while after tonight.

West Captain: I've got to remember every detail of her shining performance...

South Captain: (I still feel a bit guilty and couldn't bring myself to take a front row seat...)

South Captain: (Though as big as the venue is, the view from the back is surprisingly nice...)

Blossoming Idol: L-O-V-E! Lilele!

Blossoming Idol: Ah, it's about to start!

Meanwhile in the green room, Lilele is checking her costume one last time.

Lyria: It's almost time! The excitement of the crowd is reaching all the way here!

Vyrn: Looks like the place is even more jam-packed than the summer festival... You nervous, Lilele?

Lilele: Teehee, I practiced waaaay too much to be getting butterflies in my stomach.

Lilele: And everyone waiting out in those seats loves me! There's no way it won't be an amazing day!

Lilele: I'm so eager for it to start—I can hardly wait!

Organizer: Thank you for waiting, everyone! The star of today's show—super idol Lilele—is about to take the stage!

Lilele: Ah, that's my cue! I'm off, (Captain)!

Lilele: Hello, everyone! It's the princess of peace, Lilele, here!

Lilele: Thank you for coming to my concert today! Are you all excited?

Spectators: Whoooooo!

Lilele: Yep, your excitement is sparkling at max power! Now, I'd love to go straight into the first song, but actually...

Lilele: Before I start singing today, there's something I want everyone to hear!

With that, Lilele gazes out and meets the eyes of every single fan gathered in the audience.

Lilele: (My songs would surely reach everyone's hearts... but that feels a little like taking the easy way out.)

Lilele: (I need to put my true feelings into words and tell everyone directly.)

Lilele: I'm here today for each and every one of you, to fill your day with sparkle.

Lilele: No, not just today. I'm a selfish idol, so I want even more than that.

Lilele: I want to remain in your hearts far into the future as well.

Lilele: Going forward, I don't know how long I'll be able to stay an idol.

Lilele: And I don't know how long everyone will keep loving me.

Lilele: But even if we have to say goodbye someday... I hope today's sparkle stays in both your hearts and mine.

Lilele: And I hope that sparkle becomes a powerful strength that pushes you forward in the faraway future!

Lilele: (Just like the view that once gave the little Lilele the push she needed.)

Lilele: My dearest fans! Will you join me in making sparkling memories together?

The audience respond at the top of their lungs, waving their Lilele Lights.

She doesn't say this with a song that magically tugs at hearts, but Lilele's words prove more than enough to unite the audience as one.

Lilele: Wow!

Lilele: Amazing! Everyone's shining faces are lit up further by the lights—it's so beautiful!

Lilele: I've already made a sparkling memory I'll never, ever forget!

Taking in the spectacular scene before her, Lilele's eyes glisten with tears for a moment, then she takes a deep breath.

Lilele: And now, let's move on to our first song!

Lilele: I dedicate this to the future of myself and everyone present. Please listen to... "Our Future"!

Lilele: Let us go... To the end of the skies
For our future
Our story goes on evermore to skies never seen
Connect the dream

The bright opening notes of the song—one that Lilele learned in a space-time rift—reach straight to the hearts of everyone there.

The venue is instantly enveloped in a whirl of rapturous cheers and shining lights.

Spectators: L! O! V! E! That's our lovely Lilele! She's our number one! Lilele!

After finishing her encore, Lilele flashes the audience a huge smile full of pride and fulfillment.

Lilele: Thank you all so much for coming! I'm overjoyed to have performed on such a wonderful stage today!

Lilele: But my story isn't going to end here!

Lilele: I promise—my next stage will be ten—no, a hundred times more amazing than today's!

Lilele: So please, come and shine bright with me again!

Wrapped in feverish cheers, Lilele makes her promise and leaves the stage.

Even after Lilele is gone, her fans in the audience talk excitedly about their impressions of the concert.

Blossoming Idol: Ahh, Lilele really is the best... Someday, I'll take on a grand stage like her too!

Blossoming Idol: But one step at a time! Tomorrow's concert is up next—so I'd best head home and practice all the more!

West Captain: Today's sparkle pushing us forward in the future, huh... She's exactly right.

West Captain: Lilele—next time, I'll bring my wife—maybe even my kids! We'll definitely be back!

East Captain: Man, that was amazing! That was the perfect capstone to a new chapter in Lilele's career...

South Captain: Yeah... I could never drop Lilele for someone else! I'll support them both with everything I've got!

East Captain: I can handle what you feel now! All right, guess we're all talking until sunrise!

From the dimly lit area backstage, Lilele quietly listens to the joyful chatter of her fans drifting in from the venue.

Just then, (Captain) approaches, offering Lilele a towel with a wide grin.

Everyone looks so happy.
Everyone is sparkling.

Choose: Everyone looks so happy.

Lilele: Yes! This is the kind of stage I always dreamed of...

Lilele: I'm so happy to see all the fans who came shining with such bright smiles!

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Everyone is sparkling.

Lilele: (Captain), can you feel everyone's sparkling energy too?

Lilele: Ehehe... All the hard work and practice for today was worth it!

Continue 1

Lilele: But, but, I'm not satisfied at all with today's show! Because...

Lilele: My dream is to become a super idol who fills the whole sky with sparkle through song and dance!

Lilele winks at (Captain).

Lilele: So stay by my side, okay? Watch up close as I become a super idol!

Even now, there is no doubt—her smile already holds the shine of a true super idol.

For the Love of Ramen

Lilele takes part in an effort to spread the word about ramen, but she and Ippatsu are stunned by the outrageously hideous ramen that the shopkeeper has on offer. The shopkeeper eventually accepts their criticism and vows to hone his abilities, and the two ramen enthusiasts walk away in search of better noodles.

(Captain) and the crew visit a village on assignment.

Lyria: Hmm. According to Siero's instructions, the restaurant should be right around here.

Lilele: Lyria, I think that might be it over there.

Lyria: Looks like it! Let's go!

Lyria: Um, hello? Anyone home?

Shopkeeper: Welcome, welcome! What can I get for—gasp! L-Lilele? Lilele in the flesh! In my shop? Is this really happening?

Vyrn: We heard you have a job for us. What do you need?

Shopkeeper: Ah! Yes, sorry, I just can't believe this is actually happening. Ahem. Actually, the job is for Lilele.

Shopkeeper: Please, Lilele! Won't you try a bowl of my ramen?

Lilele: Huh? Your ramen?

Shopkeeper: Yes. Ramen still isn't very well known among the masses, you see. A niche business if there ever was one.

Shopkeeper: My dream is that one day everyone in the skies will know of its delectable splendor.

Shopkeeper: I know you love ramen, so I thought—what better way to get the word out than to have the one and only Lilele try some!

Vyrn: Gotcha... What do you think, Lilele?

Lilele: I'd be honored to! Anything to make a wonderful dream like yours come true!

Lilele: Leave it to me! I'll spread the word about your ramen across the whole sky!

Shopkeeper: R-really? Thank you, Lilele, thank you!

The shopkeeper asks for some time to prepare and tells the crew to return the following day.

The crew does so, as instructed. What astonishing feats of ramen await them?

Vyrn: Whoa, this place is packed! I can barely move!

Lyria: Look! That poster! That must be why everyone's here!

Vyrn: So that's what he meant when he said he needed some time.

Lilele Fan A: Oh my gosh! It's Lilele!

Lilele Fan B: Holy skycrabs! It's really her! I'm your biggest fan, Lilele!

Lilele: I love you all! I'm so glad I can be here to brighten your day! The one and only Lilele is in the house!

Lilele Fans: We love you Lilele! Woohoo!

Vyrn: Man, that's a lotta sweaty fans...

Lyria: They're really shouting their lungs out!

Shopkeeper: Lilele! You're finally here! Come right this way. I made this seat just for you!

Lilele: Oh, wow... Thank you! I must be the luckiest girl in the whole sky!

Vyrn: Oww. That chair is so shiny it feels like my eyeballs are gonna melt.

Lyria: Ha... Haha... He really went all out, didn't he?

Shopkeeper: And now for the main event! Lilele, I present to you my signature ramen! Enjoy!

Lilele: Mmm! It smells absolutely divine! I can't wait to taste it!

Lilele: Hm?

Lilele: (Ew... What the heck is this? How could something that smelled so good taste so bad?)

Lilele: (What's with this awful fatty aftertaste? Is this supposed to distract me from how salty the broth is? I need water! Water!)

Shopkeeper: Umm, Lilele? How's the broth? Do you like it?

Lilele: Huh? Oh! Um... Well! It certainly has a very... powerful taste! You can really taste the um... richness of the... er... ingredients!

Shopkeeper: Yes! I knew you'd notice that! Nothing gets past you, Lilele!

Shopkeeper: I simmer the broth for hours to wring every last drop of flavorful goodness out of the ingredients!

Shopkeeper: And my noodles are specially made to perfectly compliment the extra-thick broth! Bon apetit!

Lilele: H-here goes nothing...

Lilele: (Oh no... I can tell this is going to be bad just looking at it. Looks can be deceiving, but...)

Lilele: Slurp, slurp, slurp...
Urk!

Lilele: (I knew it. Soggy and mushy. It only makes the broth taste even worse!)

Shopkeeper: Uh, Lilele? Is everything all right? You seem awfully quiet all of a sudden.

Lilele: Oh! Ahaha, I just got lost in the... the taste! Yeah, that's it!

Shopkeeper: I see. You certainly don't seem to be eating very much though.

Lilele: Uhh, I'm... I just don't have a big appetite! A bite is good enough for me!

Shopkeeper: Ahh, I see! Well, what do you think of the noodles then?

Lilele: Um... Hrgh...

Lilele: (You can do this, Lilele! Just keep it in! This is work! You have to be professional!)

Lilele: Th-the way the soup goes into the noodles creates a really... tremendous... um... impact!

Shopkeeper: Bwahahaha! I knew you'd like it, Lilele! You don't know how much that means to me!

Shopkeeper: Heh, I always knew my ramen was the best in town! No... The best in the skies!

Lilele: ...!

Shopkeeper: Come on up and try some ramen, everyone! It's Lilele approved!

Lilele: Mumble mumble...

Shopkeeper: Hm? What was that, Lilele?

Lilele: I don't approve! This ramen fails on the most basic level imaginable!

Lilele: The broth is the most important part, and the broth in this bowl is the worst. It ruins everything!

Lilele: How can you even call this ramen? That's an insult to every other bowl out there!

A deafening silence falls over the room. The seconds drag on, seemingly forever until the room suddenly erupts in turmoil.

Shopkeeper: Wh-what? Th-that's not what you said a minute ago!

Lilele: Ah!

The shopkeeper stares at Lilele with fiery indignation. She fidgets in panic. Suddenly a lone voice pipes up.

Ippatsu: No. The miss is right!

A voice—suffused with a love for ramen as profound as it is delicate—silences the murmurs of the crowd.

The thronging masses part to reveal a man triumphantly clutching a bowl of ramen in his hand.

Ippatsu: From the moment you sip the broth, the raw stench of meat, fish, and vegetables fills your mouth. A flavor riot most foul!

Ippatsu: Your throat is then assaulted by a stinging saltiness that leaves your larynx a briny, sandblasted wasteland!

Ippatsu: From this miserable bowl, I detect not even the slightest hint of love for ramen!

Shopkeeper: Th-that can't be! I use nothing but the freshest, highest quality ingredients! The vegetables I use are all naturally grown!

Shopkeeper: Even the water is from a natural spring! The seasoning used is the best the market has to offer! How can you possibly claim I don't care about my ramen!

Ippatsu: Hogwash! All of it! The heart of ramen lies not in its ingredients, but in the ability of the culinary artisan who gives it life!

Ippatsu: Without ability to guide the way, your all natural ingredients become mere fodder for a pigsty of muddy, stygian broth.

Shopkeeper: What are you talking about! Lilele says my ramen's delicious! Isn't that right, Lilele?

Lilele: Sigh... It has deep-bodied flavor. I'll grant you that. And it did leave a serious impact. However...

Lilele: I never said it was delicious! I couldn't!

Shopkeeper: Then... everything I've done up till now... the reason my shop doesn't get any business... It's all because my ramen's... bad?

Ippatsu: Yes. In fact! This ramen is unworthy of the very title of ramen!

Ippatsu: However! Even within this disgusting, muddy mixture, my chopsticks found their way to a single shining morsel of hope.

Ippatsu: While the meat might at first seem sinewy and thick...

Ippatsu: A single bite transports you into a world of soft, melty, juicy extravagance!

Ippatsu: But it doesn't end there. The sweet, smoky juices that burst forth create a flavor explosion, transporting your tastebuds into undiscovered flavor country!

Ippatsu: I've never had such delicious meat in my life!

Lilele: I also thought the egg was hard and unappetizing at first...

Lilele: But after taking a bite it starts to melt in your mouth, filling it with eggtacular goodness!

Lilele: From the bottom of my heart, I truly think the meat and eggs were absolutely delicious!

Shopkeeper: It's okay... No need to patronize me... I get it. I'm just not cut out for ramen.

Ippatsu: You coward! Are your feelings for ramen so shallow?

Ippatsu: Humph. Is one setback all it takes to make you give up? To seal your fate as a ramen failure for the rest of your life?

Ippatsu: But if you choose to keep going and refine your process, to learn and improve... imagine what you could become.

Shopkeeper: I see... D-do you really think there's still hope for me?

Ippatsu: It all depends on your discipline and passion. But I believe that if you stay the path, your dream of being the best in the world may not be as unlikely as you think.

Lilele: The eggs and meat you prepared were wonderful. I can't wait to taste broth worthy of their deliciousness!

Lilele: So please don't give up! You can do it! I'll be rooting for you!

Shopkeeper: You're right... If I gave up now, I wouldn't be able to look at a ramen bowl for the rest of my life!

Shopkeeper: I'll start all over again, right from the basics. The next time you step foot in my shop, it'll be for the best ramen you've ever had!

Shopkeeper: Okay. Time to get started! I want to thank the two of you. I won't give up until I've created the ultimate bowl of ramen!

Lilele: Hehe, I'll be looking forward to my next visit!

Ippatsu: I'm glad we got that settled. Goodness, that was some bad ramen.

Lilele: What do you say to getting some real ramen to wash the bad taste out of our mouths?

Ippatsu: Now that's an idea! I'm simply dying to erase the residue of that infernal broth from my tastebuds!

Ippatsu: This is a hub for ramen, after all! We're bound to find that perfect bowl somewhere!

Lilele: Ahaha! What're we waiting for then? Let's go!

With a skip in their step, the ramen-loving duo heads off into the horizon in search of better noodles.

The horrific taste still fresh in their mouths, they look to a brighter future.

Vyrn: Hey! Where're you guys going! Don't leave us behind! Sigh...
