Scenario:Anzu Futaba - Anzu's Aspirations

Anzu's Aspirations

When Anzu hears the crew talking about the Jewel Resort, she has an idea and convinces them to take her there.

---

Vyrn: Man, that island really took me by surprise. Those monsters came out of nowhere!

Lyria: They sure did! But the city itself sure was pretty!

Anzu: Interesting... So there are all kinds of islands here, huh? I guess that's what it means to be in a fantasy world.

On the way to one of the islands, (Captain) and company are excitedly discussing all the islands they've visited.

Anzu: Oh, what about candy islands? Do those exist?

Lyria: Huh? Candy islands?

Anzu: Yeah. Y'know... Buildings made of candy and pastries, lollipops as far as the eye can see, that kind of thing.

Lyria: Wow! That would be amazing! I'd love to visit a candy island!

Anzu: Right? Hey, (Captain). Do you know if one exists?

Vyrn: Hmm... I've never heard of anything like that.

Anzu: I see... I guess the island of my dreams is too much to ask even of a fantasy world.

Lyria: Oh! But what about that one place? It definitely sparkled like a dream!

Anzu: Really? Which place was that?

Lyria: Um... What was it called again? The place where we met Therese and the others...

Vyrn: Huh? Oh, you mean the Jewel Resort? You know, the casino liner.

Anzu: A casino liner? Something like that really exists?

Vyrn: Yeah. Just like Lyria said, it's sparkly and elegant.

Anzu: A casino, huh? Wait, but that means...

Anzu: All righty! I have an idea!

Vyrn: Oh? What are you talking about all of a sudden?

Anzu: Hey, (Captain)! Can you take me to this casino liner place? I promise I'll make it worth your while!

Lyria: Huh? It's pretty unusual to see you so motivated about anything, Anzu-san.

Anzu: Hey, even I have my moments!

Vyrn: Hehe. Well, I say we take a trip to the casino liner if you're that excited about it! Are you up for it, (Captain)?

Anzu's Aspirations: Scene 2

Anzu puts her brainpower to use to go on a winning streak at the Jewel Resort, but a group of thugs decides to go after her for her winnings.

---

Dealer: Ngh... Do you wish to swap out any cards?

Anzu: Hehe... Of course.

A wave of ecstatic murmurs rushes through the crowd as the dealer flips the card.

Since they arrived at the Jewel Resort, Anzu has been raking in rupies hand over fist.

Lyria: You're amazing! Do you have a trick to winning like that, Anzu-san?

Anzu: Just don't play on the hands you know you can't win, but bet big on the ones you can. That's all!

Vyrn: You say it like it's so easy... But making that decision is the hard part!

Anzu: Hehehe... Well, you see, calculating is a bit of a specialty of mine.

Anzu: Gambling, counting cards... Math gives me a bit of an advantage with stuff like that.

Anzu: But I didn't think it'd go this well... Maybe gambling was what I was born to do!

Anzu: If I can keep winning like this, I might be able to make enough money to be lazy for the rest of my life!

Thug: Whoo! Damn, girlie, you look like you're making mad bank there!

Thug: You know, with all that money, I'm sure a sweetie like you would love to share some with us, right?

Anzu: Uh... Why, exactly?

Thug: You wanna play it smart, huh? Just shut up and give us the money, you little brat!

Vyrn: Whoa! He just busted out his sword! Watch out, Anzu!

Anzu: Ugh... What a pain. But I don't bend over to unreasonable demands!

Anzu: I'm always prepared to fight for the right to be lazy! All in the name of justice!

Anzu's Aspirations: Scene 3

(Captain) and company leave the casino liner in high spirits after Anzu wins big, but she's soon bummed out to learn that there's no way to use the rupies back home.

---

Anzu's winning streak continues until the owner of the casino liner finally comes to stop her.

(Captain) and company thus leave the casino liner in high spirits.

Anzu: Whoo! Now that's what I call a hard day's work! With any luck, I'll have earned enough to live it up from here on out!

Vyrn: Yeah, you took no prisoners in there! I didn't know you had skills like that!

Anzu: When it comes to making easy money, I'm always ready to go all-in.

Anzu: Let's see... So how much did I make? I hope it's like a hundred million yen.

Lyria: Uh... What's yen?

Anzu: Huh? Well, it's money for—Oh.

Vyrn: Hm? What are you talking about? Our currency is rupies.

Vyrn: Hmm... Is yen the currency for another skydom?

Anzu: Right... I guess I forgot that this is a fantasy world and all...

Anzu: Anyway! Is there anywhere I can exchange this money for yen? Dollars would be fine too!

Vyrn: Um... I've never heard of yen or dollars.

Anzu: No way... I made all this easy money, and I can't even use it back home? Well that sucks.

Lyria: Oh, I see. Yen and dollars are currencies in your world, then?

Lyria: Well, you know you can use those rupies in Phantagrande, right?

Anzu: ...

Anzu: Maybe I'll just stay in this world forever... Sigh... But I guess that's just wishful thinking. Boo.

Anzu has made a great fortune using her skills in the sky world.

But learning that she can't take her winnings home bursts her joyful little bubble.
