Happy Birthday Cutscenes
# Link Text
1

Um, so, er... I have a present for you! Because, I mean... It's your birthday, right?
Right, here you go... I painted you a portrait. There's Vyrn in the corner.
...Wait. Does the smile look a little stiff to you? Well, either way. One of my best works, if I had to say so.

2

Today's your birthday? Ooh, I'm so sorry! I forgot all about it!
But here's a picture book I drew about you.
N-no, it's not my usual romance stuff. I tried to portray your heroic exploits!
I put everything I have into it. Why don't you take a look inside?
W-well?
No, that's not a monster, dear.
And no, that's not a primal beast, my love.
Wait... where did I go wrong?

3

H-hi there... Today's your birthday, right? I can't believe I just happened to remember!
So here's, um... my very favorite illustrated storybook...
A Beauty on the Battlefield, okay?
I just wanted to share its breathtaking detail with someone else. Or rather, I wanted to share it with you...
But be sure to give it back to me before the end of the week.
Huh? Of course I'm not giving it to you. You're only borrowing it, so don't dirty up the pages.

4

Happy birthday.
Don't you want to take center stage during your own birthday party? Hm, that's a bit of a shame.
Me? I'm getting my present for you ready.
It'll be a drawing this year. Not a storybook—just a single piece of art.
It's a picture of you in bliss, surrounded by everyone in the crew. The scenery before us inspired me.
I'll be done by the time the party's over. I'll show it to you then.
I want it to be a lovely reminder of the good times had today, so I need to focus.

5

It's already your birthday again, (Captain).
Here you go, your present. It's a picture of you doing your thing. Sorry there's only the one scene.
But I was thinking someday I would make a work chronicling the whole crew's adventures.
I'm not sure when I'll have time to get to it, but when I finish it, you'll be the first to read it, (Captain).
After all, you're the one that invited me on this journey.
I truly hope today turns out to be a wonderful birthday.
Oh, the picture book would of course be for all ages, so you don't have to look so taken aback!

Happy New Year Cutscenes
# Link Text
1

Hm, not too sure about this one... Oh, happy New Year. I was just working on a rough sketch.
The kind young male character is set, but I'm stuck on whether to make his friend a suave gentleman or an older hooligan.
Oh, I know! A young man and a suave gentleman pair will work just fine! What am I fussing about?

2

Do you remember that romance comic I showed you last year? The one with the suave gentleman and the shy young man meeting at a New Year's party?
The story might've been a bit too forced. So now I'm trying to write something simpler.
Simple and romantic! Teehee, I can't wait to draw in all the juicy details tonight!

3

T-take a look... I tried writing out a New Year's wish. S-so what do you think?
Usually you write a wish using words...
But I decided to draw a picture instead. It's my first piece of art for the year!
Doing it all with just a brush and black ink is pretty hard though... It just seems unfinished without some color, you know?
But take a look right here. I added tiny bubbles in a pattern all over. When you look at it from afar, it looks shaded, right?
Hee hee! I've learned something new! But it's too early in the year to be getting these hand cramps...

4

Happy New Year.
I came up with a few drawings to use for greeting cards. Can you tell me which one you like best?
They all depict monsters engaging in fun activities like badminton, poker, kite-flying...
I tried drawing some normal animals too, but the monsters get a lot more attention. Must be a case of gap moe.
Hm? Romantic storybooks? Oh, there's no way I'd put that kind of art in New Year's greeting cards.
Besides, it'd be against the rules to push my interests on oth—
Ah...
Y-you saw?
Well, I had this really strong urge to portray romance, and I do have a few friends who'd be interested, so...
H-hey, stop looking at me like that!
These aren't meant for the average person, so I just let my creative juices run wild!

5

Happy New Year, (Captain). Are you heading out somewhere?
Oh, first visit to a shrine? I see...
I'm here to meet up with the other members of CtK4Life. We said we'd meet up to hang out for the new year.
Huh? You'll join us? Oh, after you come back?
So I should join you first? You're inviting me to the shrine? Well, that doesn't sound bad, but...
S-stop! Don't push me! It's cold outside! I miss the kotatsu already!

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
# Link Text
1

Um, there's something I want to give you... It's chocolate.
But don't take this the wrong way! It's just a leftover scrap of the offering to my evil eye!
Oh, what am I saying? Give me back the chocolate! Let's just pretend this never happened!

2

Captain, thanks for having me on your crew. Here's some Valentine's chocolate.
Well, I'm off then.
Huh, I seem more relaxed than last year? That's... well...
Hey, don't say stuff that's not in the script! Great, now we're all weirded out!
Okay, from the start again! Here's some Valentine's chocolate!

3

Lunalu mumbles to herself as she stands before a mirror.
S-so... I made you some chocolates... If it's all right, th-then...
Here's some chocolate! But don't get any ideas about it! It's not like I made them for you or anything!
I offer my thanks to you. Please partake of these chocolates.
Ahhh... What should I do?
How can I do this without getting so nervous? If only it felt more natural...
Whoa!
W-were you watching me? Were you watching me the whole time?
Lunalu is flustered as she throws a box of chocolates in (Captain)'s direction and speeds past the captain.

4

Happy Valentine's.
H-here you go. Please be sure to look through it.
You can't tell what it is? It's a script.
I realized that maybe you get so nervous on this day every year because you have trouble thinking of what to say.
So I prepared lines for you and me this time.
J-just make sure you put some emotion into it. Okay... I'll start.
Hm... Isn't today supposed to be some sort of holiday?
...
Gah! You're supposed to respond with, "Ooh, playing hard to get, are we?"
It's too embarrassing to actually say?
No way! Which part?

5

Happy Valentine's Day. Here, it's a script. It's pretty short, so do you think you could look through it now?
Last year you said it was pretty embarrassing to read aloud, so this year I tried to make it more natural.
Normally I prefer more romance in my lines, but I had to take your tastes into consideration too.
Finished reading? Just like the script says, I'll start by giving you cho... choco... Huh?
Agh! The cho-cho-chocolate!
I was so busy making the script, I forgot the chocolate!
Eh-heh, so (Captain), look over that script one more time, and let's try for real tonight!
I've got an important, uh, meeting right now, so, um, bye!

White Day Cutscenes

1

What? A present? For me? No way. You have feelings... for me?
Ooh... What do I do? I can't believe this is happening in real life...
Oh, this just won't do! I've pledged my love to Prince Popol! I'm sorry but I can't accept this gift!

2

Ugh, what's this for?
I told you the same thing last year, but I'm already taken. My heart's with Popol. I can't accept this.
It's time for you to wake up and smell the coffee! We can't keep going on like this!
Stop toying with my emotions!

3

I-I can't believe you... I can't believe you got me a gift again this year...
Tell me! Is toying with me that fun to you?
It's true that Popol is out of my reach...
No, rather he's someone I shouldn't even reach for. The fate of his dramatic saga has already been decided.
But even so...
I need you to understand already! I can't accept your gift! I just can't!
The gift is just to show your gratitude? I won't fall for that excuse!
I'm sorry, but goodbye!

4

Hm...
Eep!
H-hello. Were you looking for me?
No, not really?
You're kidding... Surely there must be something you can't wait to give me...
For example... Something related to today's date...
That's right! It's White Day! So you do know!
I refuse your gift every year anyway, so you thought I didn't need the chocolates?
Except I do need them!
It's true I already have Popol, so I can't accept, but...
That's not the point!

5

Thank you, (Captain)! I'm glad you enjoyed your Valentine's gift enough to get me something in return!
Actually I was a little anxious that you wouldn't get me anything this year. Ugh, sorry, this is just embarrassing...
Huh? What's wrong? Wait, what's going on?
Oh, not at all. I just thought about how I've accepted your gifts every year, so I thought I would play the innocent girl this time.
Hey, don't look so surprised!
Sigh... Everyone on this ship knows what I'm really like, so maybe it's too late.
Then again... Knowing full well who I am, you still got me a present, (Captain). Maybe you're just as weird as me.

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
# Link Text
1

Bah, why is everyone asking me to draw them something?
They'll be using my illustrations to trick-or-treat. But they're just ordinary drawings...

2

Hm, you're here to place an order too? Sorry, had you mixed up with the customers.
For some reason, this costume I drew last year has blown up, and everyone's been asking for the real thing.
This year, even people outside the crew are asking for it. Who's this Drang person though?

3

Lunalu mumbles to herself as she stands before a mirror.
Luna-Luna-Lunalu! Witch Girl Lunalu has arrived! Now, trick or treat!
Heh-heh, as if... It's so silly that it's not even laughable.
I'm much to old to get treats...
Yikes! Were you here the whole time?
Forget it! Erase it from your memory this instant!

4

Happy Halloween. Hehe... You're not getting away.
One way or another, I'm gonna dress you up in one of my specially-prepared Halloween costumes!
Let's see... Which one would be more embarrassing to strut about with? The frilly costume or the skimpy costume?
Consider this punishment for laying eyes on my forbidden dress last year...
Do you have any idea how humiliating it was?
Now prepare yourself!
Huh? You're wondering where my Witch Girl Lunalu costume is?
I-I don't keep it around, okay?

5

Well hello, (Captain). You've arrived right at the hour I asked you to on the Halloween party RSVP card.
But I've got some bad news. In truth, the party happening tonight will be between just the two of us.
Hehe, you know what's happening don't you? Why else would I send you an invitation to a fake party?
That's right! This year will be the year I make you wear a frilly Halloween costume, come hell or high water!
There's nowhere to run! That door won't open. Not until you don this lovely outfit, that is.
Hehe. I hope you enjoy this trick as much as I'm going to.
I almost forgot! For the rest of the night, your name is Witch Girl! Now, resign yourself to your fate and slip into this ensemble!
Lunalu, charged with frenetic passion, leaps at (Captain) with the frilly costume in hand.

Happy Holidays Cutscenes

1

Today's festivities aren't really my thing.
I've gotta get back to drawing anyway...
My next work? I'll let you in on a few details.
It's a story about Santa's mischievous son who befriends a fragile, sickly young man. I'm drawing the chimney scene now...

2

Ah, the holiday season always reminds me of my childhood. Especially the year I came to love all things romantic.
My parents bought me a book on anatomy, and certain drawings in it really grabbed my attention.
My parents got the wrong idea and thought I wanted to be a doctor or something. I felt so guilty seeing their excitement.
Oh look, it's snowing!

3

The scenery is so pretty... Bright little snowflakes falling gently through the air...
Tonight the sky is overflowing with love, don't you think? The weather is chilly, but the day is filled with warm hearts...
I bet that fancy guy is saying I made dinner reservations just for you today...
And the young guy says I'm not dressed for such a nice place...
Then the fancy guy says Don't fret. No one's stopping us...
Ahhh... How sweet!

4

(Captain), do you happen to be free right now?
I was just thinking of taking a walk around town on this festive night for some creative inspiration.
I thought of going alone at first, given how busy everyone is and that I'd simply be drawing sketches.
But there's so much going on out there that I'm not sure I can handle it alone.
So please... If you can just accompany me...

5

I figured the streets would be awash with couples.
(Captain), I have to apologize. Sorry to make you come with me to buy art supplies on this festive day.
Oh, but this mood is almost too much to bear. Makes me so tired... Maybe I'll just take a nice little nap, yawn...
...!
W-wait! Look over there! Two young men walking side by side!
Are they friends? Coworkers? But they're only carrying one cake box. Judging by the size, it should contain two individual slices!
C-c-could it b-be! A co-cou-couple? Did they just finish picking out presents for each other... To-together?
We need to leave now, (Captain)! Suddenly I'm overcome with inspiration! I have to get to work on my next piece!

Popol Saga Chapter Four

As it turns out, the location Lunalu is searching for is actually a beach from chapter four of her favorite work of fiction, the Popol Saga. She experiences a catharsis upon finding the beach.



Lunalu not in crew

One day, the crew are on assignment when they come across the monster artist Lunalu.
Lyria: Phew...that was harder than I expected. I am glad you managed to get the picture though!
Lunalu: It's not finished yet. Now I need to do the coloring.
Lyria: Huh? Now? Do you not need to rest a little...
Lunalu: I want to finish right away, while the monster is still fresh in my mind.
Lyria: Whoa... such enthusiasm for your art! That's cool!
Lunalu: It's not that. This is a job, so I need to work to the best of my ability. It's nothing to do with inspiration or anything.
But in her private studio are countless paintings of men.
Lunalu: Right now I'm... only known for drawing monsters. But I really want to be recognised for romantic art.
Lyria: Err... romantic art?
Lunalu: ...
Lunalu: Knights from fanciful books... princes from far-off lands... Don't you ever have daydreams about things like that?
Lunalu: Personal daydreams like that... That's what I wanted to capture through words and pictures in an illustrated storybook.
Lunalu: I want to create... I guess you'd call them romantic storybooks.
Vyrn: Romantic storybooks. How, uh... interesting?
Lunalu: Think what you want. I'm not gonna waste my time trying to explain.
Lunalu is always distressed over her skills not quite matching up with her hobbies.
Unable to give up her dream, Lunalu joins the crew on a personal quest to collect tales of romance and further her studies.
Lunalu: Amazing... I could gather all kinds of romantic things.
Lunalu: Is this a dream? If it is, I hope I don't wake up.
In her pursuit of art, Lunalu further expands her limitless imagination in the boundless skies.
The crew is in the middle of its vacation in the Auguste Isles.
But Lunalu is spending her time looking restlessly around the beach, her expression unusually serious.
Lunalu: ...
Lunalu: Hm, it's not here either.
Lunalu: And I'm hot, tired, and dying of thirst.
Lunalu: Ah, Prince Popol... Help me!
Vyrn: Hm? What are you doing here, Lunalu?
Lunalu: Ngh, it's nothing!
Lyria: Really? It seemed like you were looking for something just now.
Lunalu: Y-you're just seeing things! It must be an illusion created by my evil eye!
Lyria: Huh? You can do that?
Lunalu: Whatever...
Vyrn: C'mon, what's really going on? We can't help if you don't tell us.
Lunalu: ...
Lunalu: I'm location scouting.
Lunalu: Specifically for scenic locations to use in my romantic storybooks.
Lyria: Sounds like something we can help with!
Lunalu: Huh? N-no, it's okay... I wouldn't want to bother you with it.
Lyria: It's no bother! Besides, we just happened to be taking a walk out here. Right, (Captain)?
Lunalu: Fine, I guess.
Vyrn: Let's go that way first! I know a great spot!
Lyria: Teehee, how about the beach here? Look at all the beautiful seashells along the shore.
Lunalu: Yeah, I guess this could work.
Lunalu: ...
Lyria: What's the matter, Lunalu? You don't like beaches?
Lunalu: That's not it. I just prefer a more quiet, relaxed atmosphere.
Lyria: Teehee, I know the feeling.
Vyrn: Hey, hey, how about the scenery here? The boulder over there looks pretty awesome!
Lunalu: ...
Vyrn: Better watch your step here. Wouldn't want you to take a tumble!
Lunalu: I'll be okay. Anyway, I think there's a cave arou—
Lunalu: Aah!
Vyrn: No, not my tail!
Lyria: Sigh, it's not easy finding a good location.
Vyrn: But doesn't it seem a bit odd? Lunalu called it location scouting, but it looks like she's already got something in mind.
Lunalu: That cave...!
Lunalu: That must be it! It has to be in there!
Lyria: Lunalu? Ah, she ran off...
Vyrn: Anything could be waiting in there! We'd better go after her!
Lunalu: Huff... Huff... My feet are killing me...
Lunalu: But that shape! That's exactly what it looked like in the newsletter!
Lunalu: Praise Prince Popol! There's no stopping me now!
Crawdad: ...
Lunalu: Eek! Some sort of tomb guardian?
Vyrn: Whew, we finally caught up...
Lunalu? You look scared stiff.
Lyria: Yikes, what's a crawdad doing here? Go away, shoo!
Crawdad: ...
Lunalu: Phew, good thing you guys followed me.
Vyrn: No sweat. But what are you looking for in here anyway?
Lunalu: That's... well...
Lyria: Oh no! Lunalu, that's an awful scrape on your knee! We need to go get that taken care of.
Lunalu: No! There's something I have to do!
Lunalu: It's bigger than me, bigger than anything I've ever done. I have to do this no matter what!
Lunalu: Don't you dare try to stop me! Stand aside!
Vyrn: Uhh, well... I don't see anyone in the way.
Lunalu: Sorry, I just got a little worked up...
Lyria: Um, can you tell us what's up ahead? It sounds really important.
Lunalu: The sanctuary.
Lunalu: It's actually a small beach up ahead. That's where I'm really headed.
Vyrn: Huh? I've never heard of this sanctuary.
Lunalu: It's in the fourth chapter of the Popol Saga.
Lunalu: One of the illustrations was based on that beach.
Lunalu: Among us fans, the beach is super famous. It's holier than holy! To call it anything less than a sanctuary would be sacrilege.
Lunalu: But we don't force our ideas on non-fans, and the saga couple's relationship is open to interpretation to begin with.
Lyria: So it's like a tourist attraction that only fans know about?
Lunalu: Yes, that's what it boils down to.
Vyrn: So we're on a sightseeing tour of romantic locations. You might as well admit it.
Lunalu: Hey, it's not like I was trying to hide anything.
Lyria: Now, now, we're almost there. Will you be okay with your knee though?
Lunalu: Yes, let's go.
The crew emerges from the cave to find a small beach.
The lush greenery and palm trees infuse the locale with romance.
Lyria: Wow, it's beautiful!
Vyrn: Yeah, this is really something.
Lunalu: ...
Lyria: How does it feel to finally see the beach for yourself, Lunalu?
Lunalu: Huh? Erm, well...
Lunalu: It's nice and all, but it's kind of plain.
Lunalu: And yet...
Lunalu: Why am I crying?
Vyrn: ...
Lunalu: Every night, I would try to picture what the beach might look like...
Lunalu: And here I finally am.
Lyria: Congratulations, Lunalu!
Lunalu: Thanks, everyone. You helped fulfill my dream.
Vyrn: Hey, you still haven't told us what's so special about this place in the Popol Saga.
Lunalu: Popol is on an excursion when he first meets his best friend, Mikhail, here.
Lunalu: Popol never reveals his true identity, so they're just two kids playing at the beach every day, talking about their hopes and dreams.
Lyria: Uh-huh, and then?
Lunalu: The two meet again after a few years... Only this time, as representatives of warring nations on the battlefield.
Lyria: What do you mean?
Lunalu: Mikhail was actually the son of the general of the opposing nation.
Lunalu: The two are forced to duel to the death, and then, by Mikhail's dying wish, Popol buries his body at the beach where they first met.
Lyria: That's so sad!
Vyrn: Uh, I hate to spoil the mood here, but who's Popol?
Lunalu: You don't know?
Vyrn: How would I? Lyria seems to know though.
Lyria: Ahaha. Actually, I don't know either. But it's just so sad.
Lunalu: Haha, I'll lend you Popol's Saga when we get back to the ship, as long as you promise to handle it with care.
And this is how Lunalu ended up visiting the cherished location of her dreams. She'll treasure the memory for years to come.
But summer has only just begun, and Lunalu's passion as an artist burns brighter than ever.

Armored Warrior Shenanigans

Lunalu is having trouble breaking out of her creative and emotional lull when a mysterious crab appears from the seas to cheer her up. When a group of thugs start picking on the crab, Lunalu goes up against them.



Lyria: Whee! You should jump in for a swim too, Lunalu!
Lunalu: But I'll get wet.
Vyrn: Hey, that's what the swimsuit's for, right?
Lunalu: Well, I suppose experiencing new things is important for an artist.
Lyria: The sea's perfect for that! Plus, it'll help take your mind off things for a while.
Lunalu: All right, you've convinced me...
Lunalu: I'll go back to the beach house. It's just too hot, icky, and well, summery out here.
Vyrn: Whoa, back to square one? But you might not feel like coming out again.
Lunalu: Yeah, I guess so.
The crew is enjoying its vacation in the Auguste Isles.
Lunalu wears a serious expression as she spends her days drawing one romantic illustration after another.
But she makes little progress, so she goes out to the crew for help.
Lunalu: Sigh, what am I ever going to do?
Lyria: And I thought coming out here would make things easier...
Vyrn: Boy oh boy, how are we ever going to get her to think about anything other than how stuck she is?
Lunalu: I'm so sorry, everyone. I have to head back.
Lyria: Um, why don't we actually try doing something out here?
Lunalu: No point waiting for a revelation that won't come. I just have to face the reality of it.
Vyrn: Reality, huh? I get the feeling you're taking this way too seriously.
Vyrn: What the... Everyone look! Something's in the water!
Lunalu: Could this be the revelation?
The crew looks intently at the bubbling seawater.
Crab: ...
Lyria: Umm, it looks like a crab monster.
Vyrn: I wasn't expecting a crab, but maybe this is a revelation?
Lunalu: No way. Crabs gross me out.
Crab: ...
Lyria: Strange. The crab's not attacking us.
Vyrn: Yeah, it's not moving at all. Maybe I should go take a closer look.
Lunalu: Meh, who cares about some crab. I say we just sit back down and relax.
Lyria: Sounds good to me.
Lunalu: ...
Lyria: ...
Crab: ...
Lunalu: I guess it's not so easy with a crab staring at us.
Lyria: Ahaha, I feel bad for it though. That shell looks really hot.
Lunalu: Yeah, plus it's hard and heavy.
Lyria: Hmm, I wonder if it ever takes the shell off?
Lunalu: Wouldn't that be dangerous if an enemy shows up?
Lyria: Ah, right. I guess it works like armor.
Lunalu: Armor? Well, now that you mention it...
Crab: ...
Lunalu: Hm, armor covering the entire body... (Would be even better with a dark tone...)
Lyria: You know, thinking of that as armor makes the crab look really strong!
Lunalu: It certainly does. (It also looks cryptic, dark, and adventurous.)
Lyria: That reminds me! Lunalu, do you like crab meat?
Lunalu: Crab meat?
Lyria: Yeah. I heard it depends on the type, but I think it tastes great!
Lunalu: Really? Well, when it comes to armored warriors, I'm more interested in their emotional vulnerability inside.
Lyria: Huh, vulnerability inside?
Lunalu: Gah! What I mean to say is—
Lyria: Oh, I see now! The internal organs!
Lunalu: Armor plated internal organs?
Lunalu: Haha, you know, I do like the sound of that.
Lyria: Teehee!
Lunalu: Hm, what's the matter?
Lyria: It's been so long since I've seen you smile, Lunalu.
Lunalu: Come to think of it...
Vyrn: This is not good, guys! Look at the crab!
Thug 1: Pfft, talk about a monster that doesn't fight back!
Thug 2: Bwahaha, that makes it perfect for target practice.
Crab: ...
Lyria: This is terrible! The crab isn't even doing anything to them!
Vyrn: This makes me sick! But the crab is a monster after all.
Lunalu: ...
Vyrn: Hey, Lunalu! What are you gonna do?
Thug 1: Know your place, monster. Crab's Bane!
Crab: ...
Thug 2: Wicked! Might as well try out my skills too.
Lunalu: Leave it alone.
Thug 1: Hah, who the heck are you? You'd stand up for a monster?
Lunalu: Yeah. I don't even like crabs, but this one's special.
Thug 2: Humph, that's a good one. The heat must be getting to your head. Let's see how you handle this!

Armored Warrior Shenanigans: Scene 2

After fighting off the thugs, Lunalu collapses from heatstroke and enters a strange dream. This is where she meets the talking crab that allays so many of her fears.



The crew fights off the thugs and saves the crab.
Strongly due in part to the raging summer heat, the crew is already exhausted.
Vyrn: Wheeze, I can't take this heat anymore...
Lyria: Me neither. Why don't we go back to the beach house?
Lunalu: Yeah, I'm starving.
Vyrn: Hm? All that fighting, and I don't see a single drop of sweat on you, Lunalu.
Lunalu: Well, an artist has to be strong.
Lunalu: Besides...
Lyria: Wha—Lunalu just collapsed!
Vyrn: It must be heatstroke! That's why she wasn't sweating.
Vyrn: Lunalu? Please, wake up!
Crab: ...
Lunalu: Unh... ngh...
Lunalu: What... am I doing here?
Crab: Thank goodness you're awake.
Lunalu: Did you just speak?
Crab: Heh, don't be afraid. I don't pinch. You should be waking up soon in the real world too.
Lunalu: So soon?
Crab: Sounds like you'd rather stay here. Artist's block must really have you stumped.
Lunalu: ...
Lunalu: It doesn't matter how many hundreds of illustrations I draw. I never get any better.
Lunalu: But I get worried if I'm not drawing. And when I do draw and see how bad my work is, I get worried anyway...
Crab: Well, once you get over the slump, the ideas will come pouring out.
Lunalu: Humph, what does a crab know about slumps?
Crab: Haha, we crabs go into a slump before we molt our shells. That's how we grow. So I know a bit about how growth works.
Lunalu: But it hurts...
Crab: Would you rather stay here with me forever? In this boring world that never changes?
Lunalu: Huh? Never, not with a crab.
Crab: That's right. You have to move forward! Defeat me and awaken!
Lunalu: I... I have to keep going!

Armored Warrior Shenanigans: Scene 3

Lunalu wakes up fully rejuvenated thanks to a certain crab's magical giant bubbles. She is now more driven than ever to pursue her dream of becoming a full-fledged romance artist.



Lunalu: Huff...
Vyrn: Whew! Thank goodness you're awake, Lunalu!
Lunalu: Sorry for worrying you... But how did you nurse me back to health so fast?
Lyria: Oh, it was the crab. It created these giant bubbles, and placed them all around you.
Lunalu: Crabs can make bubbles?
Vyrn: I couldn't believe it either. But I guess it cooled you down with those bubbles, and that's why you're okay now.
Lunalu: You know, I think I dreamed of the crab.
Lunalu: ...
Lunalu: Meh, I don't remember much about it. Anyway, care to go for a swim later?
Lyria: Sure, I'd love to! But you're okay with getting wet?
Lunalu: Not really. I just get the feeling I have to try new things if I want to make progress.
Vyrn: Hm, make progress?
Lunalu: Haha, let's go!
Having experienced a most wondrous encounter at the beach, Lunalu begins to break out of her old shell.
Perhaps one day the crab's beach will also come to be known as a sanctuary for inspiring one of the greatest artists of all time.
