(Captain)! Today's your birthday, right?
You're so much more mature than your age would suggest. Is it because you have so much to protect?
I can relate, because that was my entire reason for getting stronger.
It's strange. Once you realise what matters to you in life, you're suddenly able to do so much more.
Of course, I'm sure you've gone through a lot more than me to get where you are.
Meeting you has strengthened my resolve to protect what matters to me as best I can.
I hope you'll continue to be my goalpost, (Captain). Happy birthday.
Hey, it's your birthday today, isn't it?
Time goes by so fast. It's already been a year, huh?
This year passed by in the blink of an eye. But I guess that just means I'm having a lot of fun traveling with you!
When I first met you, I never thought we'd eventually get this close to each other.
To me, this crew is my second Auguste.
I hope we can continue making a lot of memories together, (Captain)!
Past Meg: Happy birthday, (Captain).
Me? I'm Meg. The Meg you met in Auguste and joined your crew.
I look different from the Meg you know?
Ah... So you realized. I'm a memory from the ocean.
My love for Auguste from back in the day drifted through the ocean, and now they've manifested in front of you.
How is Auguste now? Is everyone still going on holiday there? How's Mari?
I'm probably still crazy about Auguste, right?
I might be a bit of a bother sometimes, but it'd be great if you could stick with me.
Present-day Meg: Hey! (Captain)! Can you hear me? Hang in there!
Phew, thank goodness... You scared me when you suddenly zoned out during our training session...
Huh? You saw the past me? My... appearance was different?
Ahaha! What are you talking about? Sounds like one crazy dream to me!
I mean, I can't possibly look that different! Pretty sure I'm practically the same as I was back then!
Past Meg: (Captain), it's your special day again. Happy birthday.
This is Imaginary Auguste, an illusory sea that doesn't really exist.
Is the current me doing okay? Has she matured any?
Huh? She has nice muscles?
What do you mean? Muscles? Did something happen to me? Now I'm curious... Tell me more.
Hey, don't wake up just yet! We're not done talking!
What did you mean by muscles? Is the other me a macho? I have to know— Present-day Meg: (Captain)! You'll catch a cold by sleeping out here.
Huh? You met a younger me?
Ahahaha! I was "elegant"? What a funny thing to say.
I've always been elegant. Nothing's changed there.
Happy birthday, (Captain). This is Imaginary Auguste, a metaphysical sea that's simultaneously perfect and imperfect.
I knew you'd come. After all, it seems your soul has become trapped within Auguste.
Do you understand? You're going to wander here for all eternity.
But don't worry—it's all right. I'm here with you.
Now, take my hand and let's splash in the surf together. Come on...
Wake up, (Captain)! We're here!
What? You dreamt you were stuck in some scary place? Yikes, that sounds really creepy...
But everything's okay now!
See? We're in Auguste for your birthday party! So forget all about that nightmare, and let's have a blast!
Ursula! Make sure you don't go biting anyone else's kite!
Oh, (Captain). Happy New Year.
Ursula got so excited seeing those kites blowing in the wind. She probably mistook them for other flying sharks.
I tied a string to Ursula's tail fin so she could pretend to be a kite. It also works as a leash just in case anything happens.
Ursula's an important friend, so I try to share in some of her interests.
I hope you can become good friends with Ursula too, (Captain). I'm looking forward to another great year with the crew.
Great timing, (Captain)! I was just making some treats for New Year's. Think you could taste this for me? As requested, (Captain) gives the food a taste.
How is it? I'm pretty confident that it turned out well.
The taste's plainer than you'd expected? Then that's perfect!
Oh, did I not tell you? This is for Ursula.
I'm not sure what Ursula likes exactly, but lighter seasoning is probably better health-wise.
Sorry for not explaining! But don't worry, I've got something prepared for you too!
Here, this one's yours! Dig in!
No, no, no! I'm gonna be late! Meg here! Just an ordinary girl you'll find anywhere! Or that's what I thought, until I found myself in a skyfaring crew and suddenly everything changed! There's still a lot I have to learn, but I'm doing my best!
Eep!
Ouch.. Geez, watch where you're going!
Choose: No, you! What'd you say!
Choose: Are you all right, my little kitten?
Huh? Wait... (Captain)?
S-sorry about that... I'm supposed to be getting a New Year's card from Mari in the mail, so I got ahead of myself and just started running...
H-happy New Year! I-I-I'll see you around! Sorry about what happened! Ack, I went and bumped into (Captain) of all people, right from New Year's! I'm so clumsy... Talk about a crazy start! Just what's gonna happen to me this year!
No, no, no! I'm gonna be late!
Meg here! Just an ordinary girl you'll find anywhere!
I'm an eighteen-year-old plain Jane member of (Captain)'s crew who definitely doesn't stand out.
Everyone else on the crew though is amazing. I have my hands full just trying not to get in their way...
Eek!
Ouch... Watch where you're going, Meg!
Choose: Silly girl.
Choose: A sea urkin's stuck in your hair.
Urk... (Captain)!
I'm s-so, so sorry! I was afraid I'd be late for my meetup with Mari at the shrine, and...
Gah! Meg, you big dum-dum! Is vacationing the only thing in your head? Goofing up already on the first day of the new year?
Here's hoping this is not a sign of things to come!
No, no, no! I'm gonna be late!
Meg here! Just an ordinary girl you'll find anywhere!
Even though I'm as plain as plain can be, I give my best every day in a crew full of formidable fighters!
Eep!
Ouch... Geez, watch where you're going!
Choose: You're scary!
Choose: What a weirdo.
Oh no... (Captain)?
S-sorry, my bad! I was in a hurry because I promised to play badminton with Mari...
I-I'll totally make it up to you, I swear!
Augh! I'm such a big, dumb, stupid, featherbrained flibbertigibbet!
I already screwed up right on day one...
What kind of roller coaster is this year gonna be!
(Captain)! Won't you accept my chocolates? They might look generic, but I promise you they taste great! At first I wanted to surprise you with something fancy. But I ended up going with something I knew would come out tasting delicious. Figured my feelings would come across better that way! Besides, I can work on making them look better over time. Give me a few years, and I'll give you tasty chocolates tailored to your senses, (Captain)!
Oh, (Captain)! Here are your chocolates for this Valentine's!
They turned out nicely this year, so I'm pretty proud of them! I asked Mari to teach me a few things!
When I gave her some of these, she said they were really good! Here, have some too, (Captain)!
Let me know how you like it later. Since I've gotten better at making them, next I want to make ones that suit different people's tastes.
You can always count on a girl to do her best for the people she loves.
I may be average, but I don't want to make just average Valentine's chocolates!
So look forward to next year's, (Captain)!
Happy Valentine's, (Captain)!
What? Chocolate? Oh, um, I just wanted to wish you a happy Valentine's... That's it...
Oh, no! I actually have some! I did make chocolate and everything. It's just that...
You see, I used the salt I brought back from Auguste and tried making some salted chocolates.
But then when I got everyone to try them, they didn't look like they were enjoying it, so I thought maybe I should just throw them out...
Huh? You don't mind? You still... want to eat them?
Wow, thanks, (Captain)! You're really great, you know that?
I tried replacing all the sugar in the recipe with salt 'cause I thought, why not!
Enjoy the full taste of Auguste!
Happy Valentine's! This chocolate's for you, (Captain)! Go ahead and have a bite! (Captain) makes an earnest attempt, but the chocolate is too hard to bite into.
Sorry about last year. I'll admit replacing all the sugar in the recipe with Auguste salt was going a bit too far...
To make up for it, I put in plenty of nuts harvested from the forest I used to train at!
I realize they're a bit hard, which kind of works out, because then you'll only want to eat it when you're really hungry.
Never mind the taste. It's jam-packed with nutrition, and that's what matters in the end!
Meg: Happy Valentine's Day, (Captain)! Here—a handmade treat with your name on it! Chocolate?: ... Meg: Check it out! I took a correspondence course and made this shark-shaped chocolate just for you! Chocolate?: ... Meg: Ahaha... I take it you noticed?
I used Ursula as a mold for the shape, but I forgot to factor in the whole getting her out part...
On that note... is it okay if I just give it to you like this?
It'll ruin the chocolate if I try to force her out. But then again, I can't just leave her trapped inside...
So I'm gonna need you to eat all the chocolate off the surface! It's the only way!
Sorry for the weird present! But please, for Ursula's sake—dig right in! Ursula: Sharrrk...
Meg: (Captain)... This is thanks for Valentine's? Two boxes? I gave you pretty standard chocolates, but you're giving me so much more in return... Huh? One box is for Ursula? Wow, you really went all the way. Ursula: Sharrrk! Sharrrk! Meg: Ahaha, you've made Ursula one happy shark. Thanks, we'll take it. Where I'm from, all the chocolate-giving happened only on Valentine's. Having a separate White Day is an interesting change for me. I'm starting to see why people gather around you, (Captain). I hope some of your kindness rubs off on me.
Is this a present in return for Valentine's? Thanks!
Ahaha, two boxes again? Gotcha—I'll be sure to pass this one over to Ursula!
Your kindness really is what makes this crew what it is.
I feel just spending time with you has helped me grow softer as a person, compared to how I was before for a period of time.
It's strange. I never thought I'd change this much as a person.
But now that I think about it... Maybe if we'd never met, I wouldn't have changed from how I'd been in the first place...
Oh well! Let's not think too deeply about it!
Ursula: Sharrrk! Meg: Wh-whoa, hey! Ursula! Stop pushing! Ursula: Sharrrk! Meg: Sigh... Geez!
Oh, (Captain)... Sorry for the ruckus.
Um, Ursula wanted me to come find you and kept pushing me around. Ursula: Sharrrk! Meg: Er, this is kind of awkward, but... Ursula's waiting for your return gift for Valentine's.
You always give us two, so Ursula's been wanting you to hurry it up... Haha. Talk about a greedy shark, right?
Wow... thanks! Look, Ursula! You got one this year too! Ursula: Sharrrk! Sharrrk! Meg: At least now Ursula's happy. Sorry we were so demanding... Ahaha...
But I'm really happy for the present too, (Captain). Thanks!
Meg: Ah, (Captain)! Is this thanks for Valentine's?
Aw, how sweet! I really appreciate this— At that very moment... Ursula: Sharrrk! Meg: Ah! I can't believe Ursula just took the present!
Wait up, Ursula.
Ursula! Come back!
Ursula: Sharrrk!
...
Sharrrk!
Sharrrk! Meg: S-sorry, (Captain)! You must have no idea what she's saying.
See, she started pestering me first thing this morning about getting a return gift for Valentine's Day...
So I told her to go get it herself if she wanted it that much, and, well... she did. Talk about greedy, am I right?
Oh, wow! You really have one for us?
Thanks!
Come on, Ursula. You say it too! Ursula: Sharrrk! Meg: H-hey! Don't just ask for more!
Meg: (Captain), happy Halloween!
Ahaha, I seem a lot more upbeat than usual? Well, something really neat happened.
I got to talking with some of the kids in the crew, and they became fast friends with Ursula.
They probably mistook her for a very well-made doll.
I'm sure they would've run away if they knew Ursula was a bona fide shark, so I kept mum about that.
Even if it was the result of a misunderstanding, I'm glad they were able to have a fun time together. Ursula: Sharrrk! Sharrrk! Meg: And most of all, I'm thankful to you, (Captain), for inviting us to join the crew.
Ursula: Sharrrk! Sharrrk! Meg: Ahaha, it's okay, Ursula!
Oh, (Captain)! Listen to this!
I was dressing myself up for Halloween and stuck a toy knife to my stomach as part of my costume...
But Ursula thought it was a real knife and got really worried!
I guess Ursula's never seen anything like this before, so it must've been surprising.
Anyway, it's kind of nice to have a friend worry about you, huh? It means they care.
I'm super average and people don't usually look twice at me, so this makes me happy.
Ursula's a very important friend to me and always will be! Hehe.
Meg: Sharrrk!
...
Whew... (Captain), Happy Halloween!
How was that? Did I look like the real Ursula? I made this costume myself! Looks pretty good, right?
I saw that there was a correspondence course on how to make character costumes, so I tried taking it.
I'll be wearing this around town for this year's Halloween! Doesn't it seem fun?
Anyway, correspondence courses really are amazing! You can learn to do pretty much anything!
Whoops, it's about time. Let's head out to town!
Hm? For some reason, I get the feeling I'm forgetting something... Ursula: Sharrrk...
Ursula: Sharrrk! Meg: Sharrrk! Ursula: Sharrrk! Meg: Teehee... Well, (Captain)? Surprised?
I'm wearing an Ursula costume just like last year, except I'm also tag-teaming with the real Ursula this time around.
Being cornered by a pair of sharks is bound to startle anyone.
Okay, off we go!
Sharrrk! Ursula: Sharrrk!
Ursula: Sharrrk! Meg: Sharrrk! ???: ...!
...! Meg: Hey, (Captain)! I made a whole bunch more Ursula costumes!
And as you can see, I've got the whole gang helping out this time around!
By that I mean—the crew, of course! We'll keep who's who a secret till Halloween is over!
So let's get going and give the town a shark-filled surprise! Ursula: Sharrrk! Meg: Sharrrk!
Wow, look at all the pretty illuminations in town! What a special night this is. Wouldn't you say so, (Captain)? It was always incredibly busy at the cafe back home around this time of year, so I could never really enjoy the festivities. Not like I had anyone to enjoy the festivities with anyway. Ahaha... Hey, (Captain). When we're walking together, doesn't it feel like... Like we're a couple? Pfft! Sorry about that! Lost myself for a second... I was trying to make you laugh with a joke, but I guess it backfired! I'm serious though when I say that I'm having a lot of fun just walking around with you, (Captain).
Hey (Captain), do you believe in Santa Claus?
I do. I got a present from him when I was little, you know.
If you could wish for anything right now, what would you wish for? Lemme guess—peace for everyone in the crew?
As for me, hmm... I don't know. Maybe nothing in particular.
What, were you expecting me to say "peace in Auguste" or something? It's true that I do wish for that, but...
I want to protect the things important to me myself!
But I guess it'd be a waste if I didn't wish for anything when I could.
I know! I'll wish for Mari's happiness!
Oh, and yours too, of course!
Oh, (Captain)... Happy holidays...
Huh? I look kind of down? Yeah, I guess you could say something happened... Will you hear me out?
I just got a letter from Mari. I'll read a bit of it out.
"Dear Meg. It's almost the holy night, and the illuminations are just crazy here."
"It's literally the best. Why don't you come over for a visit?"
"Come to Auguste and let's spend a nice and cozy winterguste together."
The letter ended up arriving late and I just saw this... It's already the holy night.
Ahh, this isn't fair! I bet a winterguste with Mari would've been super nice!
I wanted to see the illuminations and eat some delicious seafood!
...
What do you think a "winterguste" is anyway?
Ursula: ... Alerted to a presence, (Captain) awakens in the middle of the night. Ursula: Sharrrk! Meg: Aw, we goofed. you were supposed to stay nice and quiet...
Sorry, (Captain)! I asked Ursula to place my holiday present to you by your pillow...
She was convinced she could do it without waking you, but ah well...
Really sorry! You can go back to bed now!
I'll leave the present here! You can check it out in the morning!
Good night! Ursula: Sharrrk!
???: The holiday season visits every corner of the skies! Meg: That's right—even Auguste!
Hahaha! Celebrating the holidays in Auguste is a whole new experience, huh?
The sea's probably too cold for a swim, but the vibe here isn't half bad.
Ooh, I can't wait for night to fall! Mari said the lights are amazing!
And there are supposed to be loads of events! Think we can try them all?
Let's have some fun on the beach before it gets dark, (Captain)!
And when night comes, it'll be time for the real Auguste festivities to begin!

As Plain as Can Be
Meg's eyes light up when she learns of their next destination: Marshal Island. It is home to Master Charlot, founder of the Lumiora combat style that Meg took a one-year correspondence course in. The crew notices the striking resemblance Charlot's story bears to Charlotta's and suspects he may be a sham.
Meg:Meg here! Just an ordinary girl you'd find anywhere!
Meg:I worked hard at the local cafe to save up for a trip to Auguste, the place of my dreams!
Meg:Swimming at the beach, munching on good food... My vacay started out well enough!
Meg:A lot happened in between, but I've since ended up in a skyfaring crew!
Meg:The distinctive personalities of my fellow crew members make plain ol' me want to hide in a corner sometimes...
Meg:But that's just the shy part of me talking! I've got to get pumped up if I'm gonna keep Auguste safe! You can do it, Meg!
Vyrn: Huh? What were you going on about, Meg?
Meg: I-it's nothing!
Lyria: Just so you know, Meg, we're always here for you if you need someone to talk to!
Meg: Thanks...
Meg recounts the time she spent with (Captain) and company in Auguste, a smile spreading over her face.
Meg: So? Where are we headed? I heard we've already taken on the next assignment.
Meg: Given the kind of stuff this crew does, can I assume we'll be battling some really outrageous monsters like in Auguste?
Vyrn: C'mon now, you make it sound like we go around pickin' fights with kooky baddies...
Lyria: Ahaha... I guess it is true that we get caught up in a lot of major conflicts...
Lyria: But we should be okay this time! It's a simple clear-the-monsters mission!
The crew briefs Meg on the details of the mission.
Her eyes light up when she learns that their destination is Marshal Island.
Meg: Marshal Island! Are we really going there?
Meg: I can't believe it... I'll finally get to meet him!
Vyrn: Huh? What's gotten you so hyped up, Meg?
Meg: This could be my chance to meet Master Charlot in person! Ohmigosh, ohmigosh, what am I going to say!
Lyria: Um... Who's Master Charlot?
Meg: He's my savior and my teacher!
Meg: When I secluded myself in the mountains for that one-year correspondence course on martial arts...
Meg: I followed the principles set forth by Master Charlot, founder of the Lumiora style of combat.
Meg: I'm so much stronger today thanks to him! That's why I have nothing but respect for the man!
Ursula: Sharrrk...
Meg: Good point, Ursula. I probably never would've met you if I hadn't toughened up.
Vyrn: The founder, huh? He must be crazy strong!
Meg: He's gotta be! I mean, I've never met him, but his career tells me so much!
Meg: Charlot is regarded as the finest leader ever in the history of the Lumiora Brigade, the most elite special ops group in his home country!
Meg: But he wasn't strong from the outset. He went through an incredible amount of pain, sweat, blood, and tears to get to where he is today!
Meg: As if that weren't enough, wait till you hear his reason for retiring!
Meg: Charlot's extraordinary height made him an easy target for enemies, so he decided quitting would be the best way to keep his subordinates safe!
Meg: So he's strong, works hard, and cares about his friends. Is he the epitome of awesome or what? I can't wait to worship him in the flesh!
Vyrn & Lyria: ...
Meg: Hm? What's wrong?
Vyrn: Where have I heard something like that before...
Lyria: Maybe it's just me, but that sounded a lot like what Charlotta's been through...
Vyrn: You're right! Except the height thing is reversed!
Meg: Charlotta?
Vyrn: Why don't we ask Charlotta herself to be sure!
And so the crew goes off to look for Charlotta.
Charlotta, having just been briefed on the situation, answers with a perplexed look and arms folded.
Charlotta: So I see... Other than that bit about height, it does sound a lot like my own past.
Charlotta: There's also the resemblance in name... Hm, I sense some sort of malicious intent...
Meg: Then... You mean...
Meg: Master Charlot and his Lumiora style are all a scam?
Vyrn: Well, hey, it worked for you, didn't it? The similarities to Charlotta could just be a coincidence after all.
Lyria: Let's go meet this Master Charlot in person! Then everything will be as clear as day!
Vyrn: Yeah! Let's pay the guy a visit after our assignment's done!
Charlotta: He certainly will. Whatever the case, cheating people out of their money is never the way!
Meg: R-right...
Continue 1
Having mixed feelings about this all, Meg is curious as to what she will find on Marshal Island.
As Plain as Can Be: Scene 2
The crew barges into Master Charlot's office only to find out he's a cheat who was profiting off of Charlotta's fame. Before passing out from a much-deserved thrashing, Charlot calls Meg a master. Pleased with the individuality that the title brings, Meg dubs her unique fighting style shark fu.
In a small office on the street corner of a Marshal Island town, two men are making merry with drink.
Master Charlot: Hahahah! We're rakin' it in big, innit!
Underling: Gyehehe, we sure are, Boss! Charlotta's name is pretty well known, but most people don't even know what the lady looks like!
Master Charlot: Folks who've only heard of Charlotta have gotta be the biggest suckers. Any time someone suspects us, we can shrug off the similarities as happenstance.
Underling: Whoo! You're a genius, Boss!
Master Charlot: Wahahaha! Drink up! We're diggin' this gold mine for all its—
Meg: Um... Excuse me! You must be Master Charlot?
As the two men drink a toast, the crew—with Meg leading the way—steps into the office.
Master Charlot: Hm? And you are?
Meg: There's a rumor about the Lumiora style being a scam, but I don't want to believe it! Please tell me the truth!
Master Charlot: Ah... You must be one of my students...
Master Charlot: It breaks my heart to know all my hard work's bein' called a scam. I've spent my entire life perfectin' the Lumiora style.
Master Charlot: Please don't tell me you're here because it didn't work for you. Some people just ain't cut out for it.
Meg: Oh, it most certainly did work. I've gotten so much stronger.
Master Charlot: Wha? (She serious?)
Meg: I heard you were trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes by using the name of the Lumiel Order of Holy Knights and their captain...
Master Charlot: Now that's just bloody nonsense! Who's feedin' you that poppycock? I oughta report you for disruptin' my business!
Charlotta: Ugh! Give it up already!
Underling: Watch yourself, kiddo! Don't be butting in on the grown-ups' conversation!
Charlotta: I am Charlotta, captain of the Lumiel Order of Holy Knights! And you are going to listen to me good!
Underling: Pssh, you're Charlotta?
Master Charlot: Aw, gimme a break... You're just a little squirt!
Underling: Heh. I'm sure it's just a bluff, Boss! Leave it to me to scare 'em off!
Underling: The hell is your problem! Don't be draggin' us into your bullcrap! I'm gonna have to teach you a lesson!
Charlotta: Stay back, everyone! I'll handle—
Meg: Haah!
Underling: Urk!
Meg: Weak... How sad that you can't even dodge such a basic attack. So it's true after all...
Master Charlot: Cor blimey... Did my phony martial art really work a miracle on you?
Master Charlot: Nah, that's just a load of rubbish. I scribbled that thing in a single day with a bottle in my hand.
Meg: ...! So you admit it after all!
Meg: What about that pro tip you gave about repeatedly bashing a basilisk in the head with a rock until it dies?
Meg: I can't believe I actually followed your advice! You're awful!
Vyrn: Er... I'm pretty sure any monster'll go down if you bash it enough times...
Master Charlot: If you got this strong on my farce of a combat manual, then you've got a real gift, lady.
Master Charlot: As much as I'd love to send you off with a round of applause out of respect for your talent, I don't think that's in the cards today.
Meg: Fine by me. I wasn't planning on leaving yet anyway...
Meg: At least not until I smash your face in!
Master Charlot: Hahahah... My training manual might be a sham, but these fists of mine ain't. My time in the army was real.
Master Charlot: And you're gonna be sorry for knockin' out my assistant. Don't think you're gonna get aw—
Ursula: Sharrrk!
Meg: No holding back, Ursula.
Master Charlot: What in the name of Albacore is that? I don't remember puttin' anything like that down in the manual!
Meg: You messed with my pride big-time. And I'm gonna make sure you pay for that tenfold.
Master Charlot: Geez, gimme a break, lady... I was only tryin' to make myself some chump change... Can't we just let bygones be bygones—
Meg: Shut! Up!
Master Charlot: Aiieee!
More than eager to punish Master Charlot for his wrongdoing, Meg beats him senseless.
Master Charlot: Sniff... I'm so sorry... You're the master now...
Meg: Phew... I hope that teaches him not to scam anyone else going forward.
Ursula: Sharrrk! Sharrrk!
Meg: You did good today, Ursula.
Lyria: Hey, Meg? You're not hurt, are you?
Meg: I'm okay. Thanks for asking.
Meg: If anything, I'm still recovering from the shocking revelation that I spent an entire year in the mountains training in a fake martial art...
Meg: Sigh... That was really stupid... I took it so seriously too...
Lyria: Don't say that! You're an amazing person, Meg!
Lyria: I think you were able to become so strong because you believed in yourself and worked incredibly hard!
Lyria: The Lumiora style might have been fake, but your strength couldn't be more real, Meg!
Meg: Lyria...
Meg: I appreciate the kind words... I've definitely saved plenty of people with this newfound power of mine.
Meg: Master Charlot might be a con artist, but he seemed genuine enough when he said I have a gift. Hehe...
Vyrn: Hm? I thought you might need more time to recover; good to see you're feeling all right.
Meg: I mean... he called me the master at the very end. And a master of anything definitely isn't generic.
Vyrn: Yeah. I gotta hand it to you, Meg...
Meg: Haha. I'm probably the most generic person in the crew, so I'm stoked I got to spread my wings a little.
Vyrn & Lyria: ...
(Captain) and company scratch their heads and ponder over what it means to be generic.
Meg: Hey, Ursula? About our combat style when we merge to fight—what do you think of calling it shark fu?
Meg: I thought giving it a special name might make us seem more unique.
Ursula: Sharrrk!
Meg: Ahaha! I'm glad you like it too, Ursula!
Meg cracks a smile to match the toothy grin of her shark companion.
Having gained further individuality over the course of this trip to Marshal Island, Meg gains a significant boost to her self-confidence.
Meg: I'm as plain as plain gets, have no special talents, and rush headfirst into whatever I set my sights on.
Meg: As a kid, I dreamed of what an incredible place Auguste must be just from listening to others who'd been there.
Meg: Growing up, I kept my fascination with Auguste close to my heart. And before I knew it, I was here.
Meg: A lot's happened since then, and now I'm on the side of wanting to protect Auguste.
Meg: To get to where I am today though, I had to throw myself into combat training for a year. Got the chance to beat up countless monsters along the way.
Mari: But that's all on the surface level; Meg's still the same person inside really.
Mari: The same girl I knew from all those years ago...
Mari: Meg was also the first in our group to dream of visiting Auguste.
Mari: I was actually kinda jealous the first time I saw her in Auguste. You've gotta be passionate and have initiative to come all the way out here alone.
