On the way to town, the crew hears tell of a secret spot where they can enjoy full views of the starry night sky.

When Anastasia hears this rumor, she tells the crew that she wants to go to the spot and gaze up at the stars.

Anastasia: I want to see the twinkling zvezdas.

Anastasia: Hmm, is it okay if we go stargazing, (Captain)?

Anastasia looks over to (Captain), who responds with a beaming smile and nod.

Vyrn: Ooh! Looks like (Captain)'s interested!

Lyria: I want to see the zvezdas too!

Lyria: Hee hee... Let's go stargazing together, everyone!

Anastasia: Tee hee! This makes me so happy!

And so the crew goes to visit a nearby elderly astronomer said to be knowledgeable about the stars.

Astronomer: Hm... You wish to go to Stargazer Hill?

Anastasia: Da. I want to see the stars.

Astronomer: Yes, well... There's a thick, poisonous miasma hanging over the hill right now. You won't be able to see the stars very well.

Vyrn: Hey, wait a sec. What's something like that doing there in the first place?

Astronomer: Much as I'd like to investigate the cause, there are monsters preventing such action.

Astronomer: Sigh... I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, but you should probably give up for now.

Lyria: It's okay! Let us handle the monsters!

Anastasia: I'll use my magia—magic—to clear away the poison cloud.

(Captain) and company entreat the astronomer to let them handle the situation.

Astronomer: Dear me. Very well, I'll make this a special case and tell you the location, I suppose.

Astronomer: However... under no circumstances are you to do anything rash.

Anastasia: Spasibo! Thank you, sir!

And with that (Captain) and the crew leave the old man's house and head to Stargazer Hill.

Hope for the Stars: Scene 2

The crew reaches the hill and finds it blanketed in miasma. The crew searches the hill and finds the source of the miasma: a mountain of garbage. Monsters suddenly appear out of nowhere, and (Captain) and company battle them to restore the hill to its former glory.

The crew reaches Stargazer Hill. Unfortunately it's blanketed in miasma, just as they were told.

Anastasia: Uzhas! This is... horrible.

Vyrn: Yeah, and what's that smell?

Lyria: My nose feels like it's going to fall off.

The crew proceeds with caution toward the thicker part of the miasma.

When they finally reach the source of the flow, the crew finds a mountain of garbage.

Anastasia: Musor... There's so much of it.

Vyrn: This is awful! Is this the source of the miasma?

Anastasia: Da. We have to clean it up if we want to do any stargazing.

Something behind Anastasia suddenly moves.

Anastasia: Hm? What's wrong, Lyria?

Lyria: Huh? I didn't do anything.

Anastasia: Da. Was it you, Vyrn-san?

Vyrn: Nah, I didn't do anyth—
H-hey, Anya! Behind you!

Anastasia: Behind me... What is it?

Monster: Grooar!

Anastasia: ...!
Eeeek!

(Captain) narrowly pulls Anya out of the way before a monster can attack her from behind.

Anastasia: Spasibo! You saved me, (Captain).

Anastasia: There are monsters everywhere. When did they get here?

Vyrn: Uh-oh! What should we do, (Captain)?

Lyria: Yikes... T-this isn't good!

Anastasia: It's all right, everyone. I can handle this!

Anastasia: Now then! Let's go, (Captain)!

Hope for the Stars: Scene 3

Having eliminated the monsters, the crew gets the villagers to help clean up the garbage. The next day the crew goes stargazing, and Anastasia discovers a new star that has yet to be named. While the crew is excited to name the star, Anastasia looks up at the night sky with dreams of one day shining like a star herself.

---

After defeating the monsters, the crew gets the villagers together to help clean up the garbage.

The next day the crew assembles for a completely miasma-free evening of stargazing.

Anastasia: Prekrasny! What a beautiful starry night!

Lyria: Yes! It's very pretty!

Astronomer: Sob... sob... Thank you, everyone. I never imagined I'd be able to see such a beautiful starry sky again in my lifetime.

Vyrn: Heh heh! You hear that, Anya?

Anastasia: Tee hee hee... We really did our best, didn't we?

Anastasia: Ah, that bright star over there... What's it called?

Astronomer: Oohh? What's this? I've never seen that one before! It must be a newborn star!

Anastasia: A newborn star?

Vyrn: Whoa! You discovered a new star, Anya? That's incredible!

Lyria: Yeah! Isn't this wonderful, Anya-san?

Astronomer: You found it. Interested in giving it a name?

Anastasia: Pravda? Can I really?

Lyria: Yes! Please pick any name you like, Anya-san!

Anastasia: I get to... name a star...

Anastasia thinks a bit, and slowly raises her head to the sky.

Anastasia: That star... We all found that star.

Anastasia: So... I want to think of a name with all of you.

Vyrn: Oh yeah? Sounds good to me!

Lyria: Yippee! That's wonderful! What name should we pick?

Anastasia: Tee hee hee... Good question.

(Captain) and company excitedly try to decide what name to give to the newly discovered celestial body.

Anastasia takes a brief look up at the star, surrounded by the smiling faces of her friends.

Anastasia: (Novy zvezda... A new star.)

Anastasia: (I'm still a small star... But by working together with everyone, I'll shine just as bright as that brilliant gem in the sky.)
