Scenario:Amaterasu - Hello, Sky World!

Hello, Sky World!

Having completed her trial in Dharma, Amaterasu steps into the Sky Realm and is immediately a sensation among the locals. Curious as to what passes for common sense in this new environment, she asks Tsukuyomi to teach her what she's learned from the crew so far.

---

Following the incident at the Nexus Labyrinth Dharma...

(Captain) and company have since welcomed Tsukuyomi—a primal beast they met in Dharma—aboard the Grandcypher and taught her about the Sky Realm.

Vyrn: The big day's finally here! You ready, Tsukuyomi?

Tsukuyomi: This reunion with Amaterasu was expected. I see little cause for commotion.

Lyria: You should be glad, Tsukuyomi! From now on, we can all be together!

Lyria: The weather may be cloudy, but there's a sense of happiness in the air today.

Amaterasu is Tsukuyomi's counterpart. The two spent many long years together inside the Nexus Labyrinth Dharma.

Tsukuyomi ventured into the Sky Realm first, and Amaterasu will soon follow suit upon completion of her trial in Dharma.

Vyrn: You know, it was a real surprise seein' ya float over town like it was perfectly normal back when you first joined us.

Tsukuyomi: There was no rule in Dharma that prohibited flying indiscriminately.

Tsukuyomi: It seems I still struggle to judge what passes for common sense in the Sky Realm.

Vyrn: Bhaisa was worried about that too. Guess that's why she asked us to vouch for ya.

Vyrn: Amaterasu might have a hard time adjusting at first too.

Lyria: We'll have to teach her all about the Sky Realm so that she doesn't feel lost!

Vyrn: Huh? What's goin' on? There's a big crowd gathering.

Vyrn: Weird how it's only sunny over there. A crowd's gatherin' around that spot too..

Light pierces through the clouds and illuminates a corner of town.

Townswoman: How fortunate... There must be blessings in this light.

Townsman: Such elegance in this glow! Bask in it, and good fortune is bound to come your way! You'd be a fool not to!

???: People, do you desire light?

Amaterasu: Then let me shine brighter!

Townspeople: Woo-hoo!

Vyrn: Isn't that Amaterasu? What's she up to?

Lyria: Wow... That's a lot of people gathered around her... She sure is standing out.

Tsukuyomi: Most impressive, Amaterasu. You are already drawing so much attention despite having just left Dharma.

Vyrn: Why are you the one actin' proud...

Townswoman: There's something dignified about her. Maybe she ought to be properly enshrined?

Townsman: Indeed! This aura of blessings is sure to captivate many people!

Townsman: Let us establish a new faith in her name! Er, would you come with us?

Amaterasu: If I may be of help, then gladly!

Vyrn: Why would ya do that!

Lyria: Oh no! Amaterasu is getting taken away!

Vyrn: Weren't you told to meet up with us first?

Amaterasu: So in the Sky Realm, going along with strangers is a big no-no? Yes, I think I've heard that one before!

Lyria: I'm just glad we reunited safely. I was worried we might get separated.

Vyrn: You made our hearts skip a beat back there. Be more careful next time, all right?

Amaterasu: Sure! Just one question!

Amaterasu: At what point in an interaction does someone stop being considered a stranger?

Vyrn: Huh? Er, after introductions, I guess?

Lyria: That still feels a bit risky. Wouldn't it be safer after getting to know them better?

Amaterasu: What exactly counts as getting to know someone better?

Lyria: Um... That's... hard to say... Maybe asking what they like?

Faced with Amaterasu's desire for clarity on matters usually left vague, the group struggles to answer.

???: Heh heh heh... Looks like you've hit a snag!

???: A situation that calls for intellect and social finesse... There's no better stage for us.

Amaterasu: Huang! Bai! It's good to see you again!

Huang: Ama! Long time no see!

Bai: We, the Divine Tiger, are happy to lend a helping hand.

Lyria: Oh, that's right. You two got along well with Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu.

Bai: Unlike Huang, I overflow with intellect, making me the obvious choice.

Huang: Setting aside Bai, who only reads naughty books and lacks real-world sense, I, with my wealth of experience, am clearly the better fit!

Bai: How bold of you to speak of experience when you lack even basic knowledge. Truly laughable.

Huang: Like there's any knowledge in your books!

Laolao: Enough already! This isn't going anywhere, so let's stop right here, gawr!

Lyria: Ahaha... Having so many people willing to help is very reassuring!

Taking after Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu also decides to seek out a purpose in the Sky Realm.

Vyrn: Answerin' questions all day isn't gonna get us anywhere. Might be better to learn hands-on like Tsukuyomi did.

Amaterasu: What! Tsukuyomi has already begun studying since coming outside?

Tsukuyomi: Yes. Together with (Captain) and the others, I have completed several practical exercises regarding conduct in the Sky Realm.

Amaterasu: That's amazing!

Hearing Tsukuyomi's account, Amaterasu's eyes sparkle with joy.

Amaterasu: I'd love to see what you've learned so far, Tsukuyomi!

Lyria: Perfect timing! Let's treat this as a review and put on a show!

Tsukuyomi: Ding-a-ling. So this is the grocery store. What should I buy?

Amaterasu: Tsukuyomi? What's wrong? We're not at a grocery store.

Tsukuyomi: Amaterasu. I'm busy shopping right now, so please wait until I'm done.

Amaterasu: O-okay!

Bai: (Tsuku really commits to her role...)

Lyria: Welcome! What will it be today?

Tsukuyomi: Today marks my reunion with Amaterasu. I am considering fruit to celebrate. Do you have anything in season?

Lyria: Then I recommend these peaches! Will you be paying with rupies?

Tsukuyomi: Here. I believe there will be no change, correct?

Lyria: Yes! This is the exact amount! Thank you for your patronage!

Amaterasu watches Lyria and Tsukuyomi's exchange with great curiosity.

Amaterasu: Ah! This must be what it means to play shop!

Huang: I'm impressed, Ama! How do you know this when you were stuck in Dharma all that time?

Amaterasu: I played with the children of Sankara! Though what I know is limited to that period of time...

Amaterasu: Tsukuyomi! You've improved so much! You must've worked hard to get to this point!

Lyria: And that's not all! After this training, Tsukuyomi even shopped in town for real!

Amaterasu: Wow! Is that right, Tsukuyomi?

Tsukuyomi: With everyone's assistance, I completed my shopping exercise in the Sky Realm and found my purpose in the process.

Tsukuyomi: To help the people of the Sky Realm and gather their gratitude—this is my current purpose.

Amaterasu: Wow... That's fantastic!

Amaterasu listens intently to Tsukuyomi's report for some time, savoring each word.

Amaterasu: It's wonderful you were able to grow so rapidly in such a short time, Tsukuyomi!

Amaterasu: You're almost a completely different person from the Tsukuyomi who used to vanish without warning!

Tsukuyomi: It is hardly worth mentioning.

Amaterasu: There must be an immeasurable difference in information between Dharma and the outside world—enough to foster such growth!

Amaterasu: Well done, Tsukuyomi.

The changes the Sky Realm had bestowed upon her friend resonate strongly with Amaterasu.

Beholding the world beyond Dharma for the first time, Amaterasu wonders how it might change her in turn.
