Happy Birthday Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy birthday! Today's the anniversary of the day you came into this world. Here's to you! Let's celebrate.
2	✔	Today's your birthday? Allow me to offer a word of congratulations. What have you gained from this past year of skyfaring? There's no joy greater than to find something that's yours in these grand skies of ours.
3	✔	Happy birthday. Today is a critical juncture in your life. But the pressures of pushing yourself everyday tends to build up. You needn't worry so much about that. In my eyes, I can see that you have made great progress. Just know that I will be at your side to witness your continued growth from here on.
4	✔	Happy birthday. Did things go as planned for you this year? It's certainly not easy to accomplish the goals you've set for yourself and continue down the path you believe in. But don't you think it would be grand to have no regrets when you look back on your life? That's why I believe it's important to lead a life you can take pride in. While finding time to relax along the way, of course. I have faith that you are fully capable of such a feat. I wish you a productive year.
5	✔	Why are you surprised by this large cake? Hehe, don't be silly. It's your birthday! I specially ordered this cake specifically for today. The fruit arrangement has a tasty glaze drizzled over it, and you can see the detailed work that went into the icing. There's no finer cake, if I do say so myself. Hehe, I can't wait to see your face light up when you take a bite. Oops. But I haven't said the most important thing of all yet. Happy birthday, (Captain)! I also went out and got you a present. I'll give it to you at the party. Just another fun thing to look forward to.

Happy New Year Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy New Year. Time to write your New Year's resolutions! If you don't get started now, you'll never get around to it. C'mon, let's get this year started.
2	✔	A new year. Might as well get started working towards our goals this year, too. What matters most is remaining resolute and determined no matter what happens. Focus on the future, and growth will come naturally. With that being said, I hope you'll grant me the honor of observing your progress this year!
3	✔	Hehe. Can you see it, (Captain)? It may appear like any other sunrise, but the first dawn of the new year has a certain gravity to it. If you make your resolutions before today's sun, the days that come after are sure to expand your horizons. And I can't rest on my laurels either. I shall join you in expanding my capacities. That is all. I look forward to great things from you, (Captain).
4	✔	Happy New Year. Were you able to keep your resolution for the previous year? It's no simple feat to hold fast to a single goal throughout the entire year. Recognizing your own improvement each year is the basis of self-confidence. That being said, let's go ahead and come up with our new resolutions. We'll make sure we achieve our goals by this time next year. There's no limit to how much a person can grow. I look forward to seeing your growth throughout the coming year.
5	✔	Happy New Year! It's always a pleasure to spend the first day of the year with you. Now, as for my resolution, I want to follow the example you set for others. I didn't realize it at first, but you've been providing me with so much insight and not the other way around. You always find ways to move forward, even if it's only one step at a time. Yes, anyone is capable of doing so, but it's never that simple. It's easy to get caught in trivialities and stop altogether. That's why I hold your forward-thinking ways in the highest regard. Okay, you're next. What's your New Year's resolution?

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	H-happy Valentine's... I... might have gotten some chocolates for you...
2	✔	You don't have to spell it out. I know what you're hoping for. You'd usually expect chocolate on Valentine's, wouldn't you? But I've been thinking, and I decided this year I'll make a chocolate cake! You want chocolate, and I want something sweet. Given that, there's only one thing left to do! To have some cake together! Just wait right there, and I'll have it out in no time at all.
3	✔	Hmm... Chocolates? Yes, I understand. However, I did not arrange for chocolates this year. I went out and got you a fruit cake instead! Hehe. It's a luxurious delicacy from a famous bakery where customers have to line up early in the morning. I assumed you would be tired of chocolate on a day like this. In my mind, spending time with you while eating cake and sipping tea is far better than any chocolates can afford. I've already brought the tea leaves with me. Please wait while I get it brewing shortly.
4	✔	I must admit I've started to look forward to your yearly visits. Hehe. I suppose you could say I enjoy the challenge of attempting to surpass your wildest expectations. Go on, try a bite. I have full confidence that it won't disappoint. This year I came up with the idea of chocolate rice crackers. I got the inspiration from the rice crackers you once gave me. The rich sweetness of the chocolate perfectly complements the saltiness of the crackers. Aren't they just so delicious you can't stop eating them? Hehe... But you should give in and enjoy yourself at times like these. The time we spend smiling and laughing together is precious, after all.
5	✔	Thanks for coming, (Captain). That's right, I've prepared chocolates for you without fail. These are from a specialty shop. They're only sold in limited quantities, and they're fit for royalty. Which means they're almost never in stock either. Anyway, try one. Hm? Oh, this? This is a bottle of chocolate wine I purchased for myself. You say you want to try some? I'm afraid your age makes that an impossible request. But don't worry. I'll bring another bottle once you're of drinking age. Then we can share a toast together. I promise.
Gift		Chocolates

White Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Oh? A present for me? Ah, it's White Day already? Time sure flies. And I assume this is a box of sweets of some kind? Hehe, I do enjoy a good treat now and again. I'll accept it with pleasure. Hm? Rice crackers you say? I'd assume they were usually salty rather than sweet but— Ahh, I see. Sweetened rice crackers sound right up my ally!
2	✔	You went out of your way to prepare a White Day present for me again. I thank you, (Captain). Those brown sugar rice crackers you gave me were scrumptious! Thanks to you, I can now add a new thing to my list of favorites. Yes, that deserves a compliment. Now what morsel have you brought me this year? Haha, my anticipation is palpable. I cannot wait for you to show me what other undiscovered secrets lie in this world!
3	✔	Hm? That's for me? Haha. Ah, I remember now. Today is White Day. Thank you, (Captain). I was on my way to invite you out anyway, so this is perfect timing. Let's go for some tea. No, on second thought, let's postpone for now. You're probably already swamped for today. Another chance will surely arise. Come see me when you have the time. I'm always available to accept an invitation from you.
4	✔	Hehe. Thank you for the gift. Ever since you gave me those rice crackers, they've become one of my favorite snacks. I find myself struck with a powerful craving for them sometimes while eating sweet things. Now, what could your gift be this year? I-I know what this is! These are limited edition almond treats from that famous Port Breeze patisserie! Ngh... How are you always able to discern my tastes so well? I'm impressed you've already developed a skill for twisting adults around your little finger at such a young age. I'll continue to hone my own skills so I can present you with something even better next Valentine's Day!
5	✔	Oho... Homemade cookies to repay me for those chocolates I gave you, hm? You do remember I have a discerning taste when it comes to sweets, right? Not even you can escape my critiques. All right, let's start with this one. Nom nom... Hmm... While it doesn't quite stack up to the standard of a top-class bakery... I doubt there's any patissier in the world who can mimic this warm feeling I get from just the first bite. This cookie has two layers of sweetness to it: one from sugar and one from the love put into baking it. Do you mind making me more batches, (Captain)? I can't get enough of this sweetness.

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Trick or treat! I have no interest in tricks, so you had best hand over the candy!
2	✔	Heh... This sure brings back memories. Lecia had just joined the Fourth Fleet... Everyone was having a good time celebrating Halloween, and Lecia shows up to tell us not to play any tricks on anyone! It was the most uncomfortable Halloween ever. Thankfully, Lecia figured out Halloween the next year, and we all had lots of fun trick or treating together!
3	✔	Heh heh heh... Today the dead and the living dance all night. You know what that means, don't you? Trick or treat! However, I have no interest in tricks. All I want is sweet, sweet candy! What? You no longer have any candy reserves? Fine, guess it can't be helped. Here, take this. It's candy from my own stock. Of course I would very much like to have as much candy as I can get, but what's more important is ensuring everyone has a fun time tonight.
4	✔	Trick or treat! So... Which is it going to be? But I suppose you know me well enough to predict which one I want. Sweet, sweet treats, of course! Hehe. This is a pumpkin cookie, right? I'll take that! Hm, and that must be a snowball cookie! Why, don't mind if I do! Heh heh. I advise you to surrender before I relieve you of all the treats in your possession!
5	✔	Hey, (Captain). Can I discuss something about Halloween with you? Everyone in the Fourth Fleet has decided to wear a costume this year. The thing is, I've never worn a costume before, so I don't know what to go as... A majority of the Enforcers agree that going as a young witch suits me best. On the other hand, it's unbecoming of someone my age. But Halloween is Halloween, so I guess it's fine. What do you think I should be, (Captain)?

Happy Holidays Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy holidays! Tonight's the big night, so you had better rest up.
2	✔	Sigh, what did I get myself into... Hm? Oh, it's you. My crew has made a rather... unusual bet. They're wagering whether or not Santa will come to visit me tonight. Good grief... How old do they think I am, anyway?
3	✔	Munch, munch... Hngh! Gulp. Oh my, who do we have here? I wasn't expecting to run into you. What business do you have in the kitchen? I'm just making sure none of my comrades are breaking any rules on this holiday... ... No, I should come clean with you. I don't want to tell you a bad lie. To have my snack-raiding be exposed by you would be... You won't say anything about this, right? It'll be our little secret. Hehe. Well, then! It's time for me to make my patrols like I said I was. What about you? I think the town's too lively tonight for someone to walk it alone.
4	✔	Holiday pudding? Or a buche de fete? Well, I suppose the holidays aren't really the time to be worrying about overeating. Excuse me, shopkeeper? I'll have one of each. Oh. Hello, (Captain). Fancy running into you at this patisserie. I was just selecting a gift for the rest of the crew on the Grandcypher. I've already finished with my patrol. And it's the holidays, after all. Hehehe. Let's celebrate with a fancy meal and some delicious sweets!
5	✔	You're looking for cake shop recommendations? Well, you're certainly asking the right person. Even so, the answer isn't as clear-cut as you might think. There are a plethora of cake varieties, each with their own individuality. I could take you to the shop that whips up an out-of-this-world cream that everyone agrees is delicious... Or there's another shop that specializes in fruit-based cakes... Ergh, but how can you say no to a good tart, or a brownie, or a cheesecake? Hmm... Okay! It's time to take action instead of wallowing in indecision. Are you free right now? I suggest we visit every shop on my recommendation list and sample their offerings.

Fate Episodes

Birth of a Magical Girl

One day just before Valentine's, (Captain) and company find Monika looking distraught. It turns out she has been cast as the magical girl in a play the Crew of Enforcers plans to perform at an orphanage. Drusilla and Ladiva fashion Monika a costume and convince her to pose in it, much to her embarrassment.

---

One day just before Valentine's, Monika sits reading a book in her usual cafe.

Monika: ...

With every turn of the page, her expression becomes increasingly more troubled.

???: Monika, is that you?

Monika: Hm?

Monika: Well, if it isn't (Captain)'s crew. Fancy running into you in a place like this. What brings you all here today?

Ladiva: With Valentine's Day on the horizon, we decided to go hunting for new confectionary-making ideas.

Drusilla: We heard the chocolate goodies here are to die for, so we dropped in for some inspiration!

Monika: I see. This shop does have a wide selection of chocolate sweets, each as excellent as the next.

Ladiva: Are you by any chance a regular here?

Monika: This is one of my favorite shops, actually.

Ladiva: Is that so! Hehe. Now I know we came to the right place!

(Captain) and the crew take a seat, flagging down a waiter once everyone has picked out a tasty treat from the menu.

While waiting for their order, Vyrn's attention turns to the book in Monika's hands.

Vyrn: Hey, isn't that the kids' book about magical girls that's all the rage right now? Didn't know you liked that kinda stuff.

Drusilla: I've read that book too! The magical girls in it were so cool—it was really entertaining!

Ladiva: Drusilla lent it to me, and it was such a lovely story, I ended up finishing it in one sitting!

Monika: It's true the story is easy to parse, with plot twists even an adult can enjoy. However...

Lyria: What's wrong? You look so serious...

Monika: Take a look at this.

Monika pulls a leaflet out of her satchel and shows it to the others.

Lyria: Let's see... The Crew of Enforcers is going to be putting on a play?

Monika: The Enforcers periodically visit orphanages on other islands to put on a play illustrating what our organization is all about.

Vyrn: Huh. Sounds like you guys've got fingers in a lot of pies too. So is there some problem with the play?

Monika: Well, the contents are a bit hard to grasp, and the dialogue is formal and stiff. It's pretty unpopular with the children, especially the girls.

Monika: That's why we decided to simplify things and come up with a theme the kids would enjoy.

Monika: So this time around, the main character is going to be a magical girl.

Ladiva: I see. Magical girls are popular among the little ones, especially girls.

Vyrn: So that's why you looked so upset? I gotta admit, magical girls don't really seem to fit in a play about the Enforcers...

Monika: Actually, the deeds of enforcers and magical girls are more similar than you might think.

Monika: To be fair, the whole magical girl concept is apparently based on a real skyfarer who uses her magic to protect order in the skies.

Monika: That explains why they fit together well.

Monika: All in all, I agree with turning the play into something the children will be interested in.

Monika: The question is... why was I cast to play the magical girl?

Ladiva: Oh my! The magical girl is the lead role, right? That's a big responsibility!

Monika: Indeed. It was a direct order from the top brass.

Saying this, Monika holds her head in her hands and begins grumbling to herself.

Monika: I can't deny that I'm the youngest-looking enforcer in the bunch... but I'm a grown adult, just like the rest of them.

Monika: If I dress up like a magical girl at my age, I'm going to be the laughingstock of all my subordinates...

Lyria: U-um... Monika?

Monika: Sorry. Never mind me.

Monika takes a deep breath and shakes her head back and forth, as though attempting to rid herself of her depressing thoughts.

Monika: I understand this is a noble cause. It's only right that I should be studying magical girls for future reference.

Vyrn: Uh, how should I put this... Sounds like you've got things pretty rough too.

As Monika smiles grimly at Vyrn's words, Drusilla edges closer, her eyes sparkling.

Drusilla: U-um, so what kind of outfit will you be wearing?

Drusilla: A cutesy one with lots of frills, I imagine?

Drusilla: Or maybe something more grand and hero-esque?

Drusilla: If I had to pick one, I'd say cute is the way to go!

Monika: A-actually, the outfit hasn't been decided yet. And honestly, I wouldn't know where to begin picking one out.

Ladiva: A magical girl outfit... Now that I think of it, Medusa wore one before for Valentine's Day, didn't she?

Medusa: Sugar Time: Love and Passion!

Monika: Hm. Do you think I might be able to get a look at that outfit you mentioned?

Monika: It's hard to get a clear image in my mind from a book. I'd like to use a real-life costume as a reference, if possible.

1. I'll ask Medusa.

Choose: I'll ask Medusa.

Monika: Thanks, I appreciate it. In that case, I'll pay a visit to your airship at a later date.

Monika: Sigh... A magical girl, huh? I wonder if I'll be able to pull off the role...

Heaving a deep sigh, Monika mutters uncertainly to herself.

A few days pass.

As promised, Monika drops by the Grandcypher in hopes of getting a glimpse of Medusa's magical girl outfit.

Monika: Sorry to get straight to the point, but I'd appreciate it if I could see that costume—

Medusa: Here it is!

Medusa: Sugar Time: Love and Passion! Magical Light... Sparkling! Magical Girl Sweet-Tooth Medusa!

Monika: ...

Medusa: Heh. And that's how it's done!

Drusilla: You're so cool, Medusa!

Vyrn: C'mon, Snake Girl! Quit crashin' in like that! It's enough to give anybody a heart attack!

Medusa: What's the problem? Not like anyone got hurt.

Vyrn: Monika was so surprised, she's frozen stiff!

Monika: N-no, I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

Monika: In any case... Hm. So that's a magical girl outfit...

Medusa: Heh. Cute, huh?

Monika: Definitely. It looks great on you.

Monika: But I doubt a cutesy outfit like that would suit me...

Ladiva: Really? I think you'd be able to pull it off with no trouble at all.

Monika: No, I have to disagree with you there...

Drusilla: In that case, I know just how to clear this up—you just need to try one on!

Monika: ...
Pardon?

Ladiva takes an outfit out of the bag behind her and presents it to Monika.

Lyria: Wow, what a cute outfit!

Monika: What is this?

Drusilla: It happens to be a magical girl costume that I designed just for you, Monika!

Drusilla: I selected some clothes off the rack and had Ladiva sew on the decorations!

Ladiva: Sorry for not asking beforehand. I thought it was a bit large to be for Drusilla...

Ladiva: But I was having so much fun sewing, I ended up finishing without asking who it was for.

Monika: ...

Monika: Er... I'm grateful to you both for going to so much trouble.

Monika: But it's little too cutesy for me, don't you think? I'd prefer something a little more plain-Jane...

Drusilla: Over my dead body! If we did that, this adorable magical girl outfit would go to waste!

Ladiva: Hmm. "Plain-Jane" might be going in the wrong direction...

Ladiva: It doesn't have to be this exact outfit, but you'll probably want something that screams "magical girl" so the younger children can follow along.

Monika: Ngh... I have to admit, you've got a point. But still...

Medusa: Even I know magical girl stories are a hit with skydwellers!

Medusa: And I've also heard costumes like that one are the cutest and most popular right now!

Medusa: But even knowing that, you're still against it?

Monika: No, that's not it. It's just... embarrassing.

Medusa: Embarrassing? Why? It's so cute!

Medusa: Besides, I need you to wear that outfit!

Vyrn: Huh? Why the heck would you need that?

Medusa: Apparently magical girl stories these days are supposed to feature a rival character.

Medusa: The townspeople were saying a rival brings out a magical girl's true cuteness and charm!

Medusa: So I need you to put on that outfit and play the role of my rival.

Medusa: With you by my side, my costume will have even more room to shine in comparison!

Monika: Er, I'm only planning to wear the outfit during the play. Otherwise it seems a bit, well...

Drusilla: Won't you at least try it on? I reeeally want to see you as a magical girl.

Drusilla stares sadly at Monika, her eyes shining with tears.

Monika: Ngh... A-all right, fine. I'll... give it a try.

Drusilla: In that case, I'll show you to my room. You can get changed there!

Unable to contain her excitement, Drusilla takes Monika's hand and practically drags her down the hall.

Monika: Er... I'm finished changing. So... what do you think?

Drusilla: I knew it—you're the spitting image of a magical girl!

Medusa: Huh. It actually looks pretty good on you.

1. You look adorable.
2. The kids will love it.

Choose: You look adorable.

Monika: Adorable?

Monika: Hearing that at my age from someone younger than me is... well, I'm not sure how to feel.

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: The kids will love it.

Monika: I see. That's good to hear...

Continue 1

Monika: But don't you think the skirt's a bit too short? If I'm not careful, I'll be on full display...

Medusa: I'm not sure of the reasoning behind it, but that's just how magical girl outfits are.

Medusa: Okay, now you just need a pose and a catchphrase.

Monika: Pose? Catchphrase?

Medusa: Remember the intro I did earlier? Something like that.

Medusa: Sugar Time: Love and Passion! Magical Light... Sparkling! Magical Girl Sweet-Tooth Medusa!

Monika: Y-you want me to do that?

Drusilla: Any magical girl worth her sugar has to have a pose and catchphrase!

Monika: N-now that you mention it, there was something like that in the script I received...

Drusilla: Ooh, show us, please!

Monika: Er, but I only came here to get a look at that costume...

Vyrn: If it's in the script, that means it'll be in the play, right? So what's the harm?

Vyrn: Besides, wouldn't practicin' in front of us help you be less nervous when the real thing comes around?

Monika: That's true, but...

Drusilla: Pretty please?

Monika: Urgh...

Seeing Drusilla's face fall, Monika hesitates, her expression conflicted.

Monika: A-all right. I guess it wouldn't hurt to get some practice in.

Monika: Haah...

Monika takes a deep breath and strikes a pose, her face beet red.

Monika: Lovely Brave Cure! Infinite Magic!

Monika: Magical Girl Lovely-Heart Monika! In the name of the skies, I'll lead you!

Lyria: Oh my! That was so cool, Monika!

Medusa: Huh... I have to admit, that wasn't half bad. I officially declare you worthy of being my rival.

Ladiva: Your movements were so sharp and snazzy! With an intro like that, you'd fit right in as a duelist!

Drusilla: One more time! I want to see it again!

Monika: Urgh, this is mortifying. Why should a grown adult like me have to play dress-up?

Monika's eyes well up out of embarrassment.

(Captain) and the crew look on, smiling fondly at their red-faced friend.

Lovely-Heart Monika's Debut

The day before the play, Monika sits with Lecia in her office, struggling to concentrate on her paperwork. Lecia laments that she can't watch the performance because of an important mission escorting prisoners, and Monika is secretly relieved Lecia won't see her in her magical girl outfit.

---

It's the day before the Crew of Enforcer's first performance of their magical girl play.

Monika sits in her office as always, working on paperwork with Lecia by her side.

Monika: Sigh...

Lecia: Um... Monika? You made a mistake here.

Monika: ...!
Apologies. I'll fix it right away.

Lecia: Are you feeling all right? You seem distracted today...

Monika: Sorry, I just can't keep my mind off tomorrow's play...

Lecia: Oh, come to think of it, that is tomorrow, isn't it?

Lecia: I wish I could've gone to watch, but I have a pretty major mission to take care of...

Monika: You're escorting a group of prisoners being transferred to another island, correct?

Lecia: If only it didn't start first thing in the morning. I would've given anything to see you as a magical girl.

Monika: Is that so...

Monika: W-well, I wish you the best of luck on your end. I'll be acting my heart out for the play in the meantime.

Lecia: Thanks. Nothing us Enforcers can't handle, right?

Monika: (So Lecia can't come because of a mission... Which means she won't see me looking ridiculous...)

Monika: (That's one good thing, at least...)

Monika heaves a sigh of relief and begins clearing away the remaining paperwork.

Lovely-Heart Monika's Debut: Scene 2

On the day of the play, the crew arrives at the orphanage to watch the performance at Lecia's request. As Monika's first scene approaches, (Captain) and company find her backstage, fretting that she's going to be a laughingstock. But with some encouragement from the crew, Monika finds her courage and prepares for her entrance.

---

The day of the Crew of Enforcer's magical girl play has arrived.

When Monika arrives at the orphanage, she is surprised to find (Captain) and the crew there waiting for her.

Monika: (Captain)? Why are you here?

Drusilla: Why, we're here to watch the play, of course!

Lyria: Also, Lecia asked us to come cheer you on.

Remembering Lecia's face the previous day, Monika smiles wryly.

Monika: That Lecia... She really stuck her nose where it doesn't belong.

Monika: Actually, I imagine anyone would have done the same thing after seeing the state I was in yesterday.

Vyrn: By the way, we heard about your rehearsals from Lecia.

Vyrn: She said nobody but people involved in the play were allowed to watch.

Monika: That's right. I wanted to limit my subordinates seeing me dressed like that as much as possible.

Vyrn: Are you gonna be okay in the real thing? You're gonna have an audience today, y'know?

Monika: It won't be an issue. I've steeled myself for whatever comes.

Monika: Sorry for causing you all so much trouble.

Lyria: Ahaha, no worries. We wanted to see the play anyway.

Ladiva: And if there's anything you need us to help with, just say the word, okay?

Ladiva: After all, we basically ended up forcing that magical girl outfit on you. This hardly makes up for that, but it's the least we can do.

Monika: I appreciate that. Well, since you're all here, I might as well show you the backstage area before the play starts.

(Captain) and the crew nod and follow Monika into the orphanage.

The time comes for the curtain to rise, and the performance begins without a hitch.

(Captain) and the crew watch from the side of the stage.

Lyria: It's almost time for Monika's first scene.

Ladiva: You're right! We'd better let her know...

Ladiva: Oh? Where could she have gone?

Drusilla: Come to think of it, she left her seat earlier and hasn't been back since!

Worried, (Captain) and company frantically set out to look for her.

Drusilla: Oh, there she is!

Drusilla points to a corner of the stage wing, where Monika sits curled up in a ball.

Lyria: Um, Monika? It's almost time—

Monika: The whole audience is going to see me like this. Urgh, I just know they're going to laugh...

Monika: No, it'll be fine. After all, this is a play for children.

Monika: I'm sure they won't laugh, no matter how absurd I look...

Vyrn: Yeesh, what happened to steelin' herself?

Lyria: U-um... It'll all be okay! That costume looks really good on you, Monika!

Drusilla: Lyria's right! You look like a full-fledged magical girl.

Drusilla: There's no need to worry! I guarantee it!

Monika: This cutesy outfit looks good on me? Ahaha... That's kind of you to say, but I have mixed feelings.

Monika: I'm an adult, for crying out loud...

Lyria: U-um... W-well...

Ladiva: Knowing you, you must have poured everything you had into your rehearsals. That much is certain.

Ladiva: So have confidence in all your hard work! I'm sure your magical girl performance will be nothing short of an inspiration to the children!

Monika: ...

Monika: You're right. Sorry for losing myself for a moment there.

Orphanage Matron: Um, excuse me... It's almost time for your debut. Will you be all right?

Monika: Yes, I'm fine.

Lyria: Good luck out there!

Ladiva: We'll be rooting for you!

1. Just do like you did in rehearsal!
2. Break a leg, Lovely-Heart Monika!

Choose: Just do like you did in rehearsal!

Monika: Thanks. I'll show you the fruits of my efforts, (Captain).

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Break a leg, Lovely-Heart Monika!

Monika: I-I'd prefer if you wouldn't call me that. Hearing it from you just makes it all the more embarrassing.

Monika: Heh... But the butterflies seem to have disappeared from my stomach. I appreciate it, (Captain).

Monika: All right, here goes nothing!

Monika salutes the crew and heads off toward the stage.

Lovely-Heart Monika's Debut: Scene 3

Just as Monika is about to step on stage, a group of prisoners infiltrate the orphanage, having escaped from the Crew of Enforcers. When the inmates take the children hostage, Monika and the crew decide to defeat the prisoners while pretending it's all part of the play.

---

Monika heads toward the stage in preparation for her first scene.

But the moment she's about to step out into the spotlight, the door of the orphanage slams open.

Inmate 1: All right, nobody move.
Hey! Do the thing already!

Inmate 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm doin' it!

Without a moment's hesitation, the man grabs one of the children from the audience and holds a dagger to his neck.

Inmate 1: Okay! Everybody put your hands on your head and sit on the floor. Resist, and the kid gets it!

Boy: Ungh...

Girl: I-I'm scared!

Enforcer 1: A-all right, we'll cooperate. Just leave the kids out of this!

Inmate 2: Then you'd better put your hands on your head and your butt on the floor!

Enforcer 1: Kgh!

The enforcers who had been performing in the play sit down as instructed, grimacing at their own powerlessness.

Once the inmates have confirmed the enforcers' compliance, they open a nearby window and yell outside.

Inmate 1: Listen up, Enforcers! We've got two demands!

Inmate 1: Number one—bring us an airship! Number two—don't even think about chasing us!

Inmate 1: Refuse, and I can't guarantee these kids'll make it outta here alive! Got it?

Enforcer 3: We've finished surrounding the orphanage.

Lecia: Thank you.

Enforcer 2: Apologies, Lecia. It's all my fault they escaped while we were in transit...

Lecia: No, you're not the only one guilty here.

Lecia: I'm just as responsible for not being able to back you up because of work.

Lecia: Let this serve as a lesson for you to do better next time—I, too, will remember today's incident so something like this never happens again.

Enforcer 2: Yes, ma'am...

Enforcer 3: So what's our next course of action, Lecia? Apparently the inmates are demanding an airship to make their escape.

Lecia: The Crew of Enforcers will not give in to their demands.

Lecia: We'll continue to stall for time while making preparations to rush in.

Lecia: The safety of the hostages is our top priority. Keep that in mind.

Enforcer 3: Understood!

Lecia: We'll save them all, no matter what. The children, Monika, (Captain)'s crew—everyone.

Vyrn: H-hey, what's goin' on? This isn't part of the play... right?

Lyria: I-I don't think so. I'm pretty sure this wasn't in the script.

Monika: I know who they are. Those are the prisoners who were being transferred to another island today.

Monika: If I'm correct, Lecia should have been on that escort mission...

Monika: I can only assume something must have gone south on their end.

Lyria: What should we do? If we make a wrong move, it'll put the children in danger...

1. We have to save the kids!
2. We should lay low for now.

Choose: We have to save the kids!

Vyrn: B-but we gotta think about their safety first—

Monika: I agree with (Captain).

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: We should lay low for now.

Lyria: Th-that's a good idea. We need to prioritize the children's safety.

Monika: No, this is a time for action.

Continue 1

Monika: As you can probably guess from how those prisoners are acting, the orphanage has already been surrounded by the Crew of Enforcers.

Monika: That's why they've taken the children hostage and barricaded themselves in.

Monika: However, it seems unlikely that the Enforcers will accept their demands.

Monika: Right about now, they're probably developing a plan to storm the building, rescue the hostages, and capture the escaped inmates.

Vyrn: How do you know that?

Monika: This isn't our first rodeo. There are protocols set in place for when these incidents arise.

Monika: But even if there weren't, I doubt someone with Lecia's strong sense of responsibility would be standing around doing nothing.

Monika: Anyway, these types of situations usually go on for a while. The Enforcers will likely try to stall until they're prepared to rush in.

Monika: But this time around, we have your crew on the scene. Meaning with have both the skill and numbers to fight back.

Monika: Those prisoners would never suspect there's another seasoned crew here, completely separate from the one managing the play.

Vyrn: So basically you want us to save the day?

Monika: Correct. Fortunately their numbers are few. And even better, they have yet to notice our presence.

Monika: If we can utilize our advantages, we should be able to save the children on our own.

Monika: I have an idea, actually. If it pans out, we'll be able to resolve this without scarring the children for life.

Monika: (Captain), everyone. Sorry, but I could really use your help.

1. Just tell me what to do.

Choose: Just tell me what to do.

Monika: I'm in your debt. All right, here's what I need you to do...

Monika goes on to fill the crew in on her plan.

Inmate 1: Tch. The airship's still not ready yet? This is definitely taking too long.

Inmate 2: What now? At this rate...

Inmate 1: ...

Inmate 1: Guess we're outta options. We'll just have to make a beeline for the port using the kids as shields.

Inmate 1: Then we'll steal an airship and get the heck outta dodge.

Inmate 2: But what about the hostages? Are we gonna bring them on board?

Inmate 1: Yeah. As long as we've got kids on board, they won't start firing at us willy-nilly.

Having settled on a plan, the inmate grabs the arm of a nearby child.

Girl: Eek!

???: Hold it right there!

Just then, a voice echoes from the stage.

The prisoners immediately turn to look in the direction of the sound.

Drusilla: If you dare hurt those children, Magical Girl Lovely-Heart Monika will punish you in the name of the skies!

Inmate 1: Tch. One of the kids must've been hiding.

Inmate 2: Magical girl? The heck is that brat talking about?

Inmate 1: Sounds like a bunch of nonsense to me. Never mind all that—just go catch her.

Inmate 2: Tch. What a pain.

Inmate 2: Hey, kid. Don't move a muscle.

Inmate 2: As long as you do everything we say, we'll let you live.

Drusilla: You're lying! As soon as I've fulfilled my use, you'll dispose of me!

Drusilla: That's what a magical girl's villain always does!

Inmate 2: We're not gonna kill you. You won't make much of a hostage if you're dead.

Inmate 2: Come on, be a good little girl and—

The man reaches out to grab Drusilla.

Drusilla: Save me, Lovely-Heart Monika!

???: I've heard your cries for help, and I'm here to answer the call!

???: You villains will regret bullying those children! In the name of the skies, I'll punish you!

Inmate 2: Wh-what the! The lights...

???: Lovely Brave Cure! Infinite Magic!

Lovely-Heart Monika: Magical Girl Lovely-Heart Monika, at your service! In the name of the skies, I'll lead you!

Inmate 2: Huh?

Lovely-Heart Monika: You're wide open! Magical Power, Full Drive!

Lovely-Heart Monika: Lovely Sky Hurricane!

Inmate 2: Ngh!

Inmate 1: Y-you brat! Don't you care what happens to your little friends—

Ladiva: Sorry to disappoint, but I've already put all your friends down for a nap.

Inmate 1: What! When did you...

Ladiva: Hehe. Looks like it's time for the magical girl's sidekick to shine...

Ladiva: Magical Love-Serving Bomb!

Inmate 1: ...!

Ladiva: And with that, the children are safe!

Ladiva: Now then, Moni—ahem, Lovely-Heart Monika. It's time for the big finish.

Lovely-Heart Monika: There's nothing to worry about, everyone! The villains have all been defeated by Lovely-Heart Monika and her magical friends!

Drusilla: Thank you, Lovely-Heart Monika!

Lovely-Heart Monika: No need to thank me. It's my duty as a magical girl to rid the world of bad guys and save people in need!

Boy: Wait a sec. Was all that... part of the play?

Girl: Wow. That's so cool.

Believing that everything had been part of the play, the children applaud for Monika—or rather, Lovely-Heart Monika.

Realizing their plan was a success, Monika and the crew breathe a collective sigh of relief.

Lovely-Heart Monika's Debut: Scene 4

(Captain) and company turn over the inmates to the Crew of Enforcers, who apologize for their grievous mistake. Monika commends Lecia for her response... until suddenly she realizes she's still in her magical girl costume. The children clamor for her to strike a pose, which she does grudgingly, her face bright red.

---

After the play, (Captain) and the crew turn over the inmates to the enforcers waiting outside.

Vyrn: Whew... Things were kinda touch and go there for a little while.

Lyria: You said it...

Lyria: But I'm glad all the children and enforcers made it out unscathed.

Ladiva: Not only physically, but mentally as well. All thanks to Monika's brilliant idea!

Ladiva: The children believe everything that happened was just part of the play.

Monika: Is that so? Glad to hear it. That was one of the things worrying me the most.

Seemingly relieved, Monika stands up straight and bows deeply before the crew.

Monika: (Captain), everyone—you're the true heroes of the day. Allow me to thank you again.

Lyria: Oh no, please raise your head! Friends are supposed to help each other when they're in trouble!

Monika: That doesn't cover it this time. Whatever the reason, this all happened due to a failure by the Crew of Enforcers to complete their mission.

Monika: Friends or not, I can't allow myself to just sweep it under the rug.

Monika: I'll have the Enforcers issue a formal apology later—

???: Monika! (Captain)!

Monika: Lecia?

Turning toward the voice, (Captain) and company see Lecia and the enforcers running toward them.

Lecia: Huff, puff...
(Captain), Monika! You're okay!

Lecia: Thank goodness... I'm so glad...

After making sure Monika and (Captain)'s crew are unharmed, Lecia and her subordinates lower their heads.

Lecia: Due to a grave oversight on our part, we caused you nothing but trouble. You have our deepest apologies.

Monika: You can fill me in on the details later. And I'll leave your punishment to the higher-ups. Understood?

Lecia: Yes...

Enforcer 2: Wait! The prisoners escaped because of me! I'm the one responsible here!

Enforcer 2: So please let Lecia and the others off the—

Monika: We share a collective responsibility. And as such, the person in charge should be the one to face the consequences.

Enforcer 2: B-but—

Lecia: Monika's right.

Monika: However, I suppose I could put in a good word.

Lecia: Huh?

Monika: Take the rapid siege of the orphanage. Not to mention, the personnel stationed here and their placement...

Monika: Even if (Captain)'s crew and I hadn't taken action, you all would've been able to rescue the children without issue.

Lecia: ...

Monika: Disciplinary action will need to be taken. After all, it ended up endangering the lives of innocent children.

Monika: However, it can be argued that the handling of the resulting situation was more than appropriate.

Lecia: Thank you...

Monika: Well, just make sure to reflect on what went awry, and put that knowledge to use in the future.

Lecia: Right...

Lecia nods solemnly in response to Monika's words.

Lecia: By the way, um... Monika?

Monika: Yes?

Lecia: What is that you're wearing?

Monika: Wearing?

Monika: ...!

Monika: Th-this is, well... You see... Er...

Drusilla: She's Magical Girl Lovely-Heart Monika!

Lecia: Lovely-Heart Monika? Oh, I see. So this is—

Monika: S-stop looking at me like that!

Girl: Look, it's Lovely-Heart Monika! Hey, do that pose from earlier!

Boy: Yeah! I wanna see it too!

Monika: Th-that was just part of the play. I'm not really—

Ladiva: Now, Monika. You can't crush the children's dreams.

Monika: Geh. B-but still...

Vyrn: What's the harm in strikin' a pose? You looked so cool when you did it earlier.

Lyria: Hehe. I'd like to see it again too!

Drusilla: Me too!

Monika: Urgh...

Ladiva: Please! You musn't betray the dreams of the children!

Monika: A-all right. I'll do it.

Monika: Sigh...
Here goes.

Monika: Lovely Brave Cure! Infinite Magic!

Monika: Magical Girl Lovely-Heart Monika, at your service! In the name of the skies, I'll lead you!

Drusilla: She's the absolute coolest!

Girl: Wooow...

Boy: A magical girl, huh? Lucky. Wish I could be one...

Enforcer 2: (Lovely-Heart Monika, huh? I like it.)

Enforcer 3: (I think I could totally get into this magical girl thing...)

Ladiva: Thanks, Monika. It really does suit you!

Ladiva: And I don't just mean the outfit. The whole magical girl theme fits you perfectly.

Lyria: I'd love to try being a magical girl too someday...

Vyrn: I gotta say, you're really startin' to look the part.

Lecia: (M-Monika... She's so cute!)

Monika: ...!
S-stop looking at me like that! I—

Suddenly the center of attention, her cheeks turn an even brighter shade of crimson.

The others stare at Monika—or rather, Lovely-Heart Monika—with sparkling eyes.

From out of the Crew of Enforcers, Magical Girl Lovely-Heart Monika has been born.

And so her battle rages on... or does it?
