Bridgette: Mmm...

Sevastien: Ah, Bridgette, is that you?

Sevastien is patrolling the halls when he stumbles upon Bridgette deep in thought.

Sevastien: Is something on your mind, Bridgette?

Bridgette: Oh, Sevastien!

Sevastien: Oh dear, I didn't mean to startle you.

Sevastien: A thousand apologies. You don't look like your usual self today... Is something the matter?

Sevastien: If you wish to talk about it, I'd be happy to lend an ear.

Unable to say no to Sevastien's warm smile, Bridgette decides to open up about her doubts.

Bridgette: I enlisted into the Lumiel Order of Holy Knights because I so admired Captain Charlotta...

Bridgette: Each and every day, I've been giving it my all to be more like her, but...

Bridgette: But I still haven't even grasped the basics of being a knight yet... I'm pathetic.

Bridgette: I wonder if I'll ever even get close to being like Charlotta...

Sevastien: Hmm, I see... Quite the quandary indeed.

Sevastien ponders for a moment before an idea crosses his mind.

Sevastien: A change of pace may be good for you, Bridgette—what do you say?

Bridgette: A change of pace?

Sevastien: That's right. Mulling over one thing for too long isn't good for your health.

Sevastien: It seems that I'm actually short on ingredients for supper tonight.

Sevastien: In fact, I was just thinking of finding someone to help me gather ingredients.

Sevastien: What say you? Won't you be a dear and lend me a hand?

Bridgette: I... I see! If there's any way I can be of assistance, I'll do everything I can!

Sevastien: Hehehe, excellent. Well then, let's not waste any more time.

The two head into the forest to gather ingredients while enjoying each other's company.

Bridgette: Hahaha! Feast your eyes on all these vegetables I've gathered, Sevastien!

Sevastien: Splendid! I knew you were the right person for the job.

Bridgette: Hehe... It's an honor to receive your praise!

Bridgette: I can find even more! I'll go take a look over there!

Sevastien: Try not to wander away too far now, Bridgette!

Bridgette: Don't worry about me—just wait and see!

Bridgette: All right! I'm gonna find all the vegetables and show Sevastien what I'm really capable of!

Bridgette: Oooh! This one looks tasty!

Bridgette: Hehe, this is kind of fun! I've gotta make sure to thank him later.

Humming along as she picks more ingredients, she barely notices a sound emerging from a nearby brush.

Bridgette: ...!
What was that sound just now?

Monster: Groooar!

Bridgette: Gaaah!

Hearing Bridgette's scream, Sevestien arrives at the scene just moments later.

Sevastien: Bridgette! Is everything all right?

Bridgette: M-monster! There's a monster!

Bridgette: Oof... It's a real tough one! I can't seem to get a good hit in. We'd best let this one go and make a run for—

Monster: Groooar!

Sevastien: Bridgette, look out!

Bridgette: Huh?

The monster lunges toward Bridgette but is stopped just in time as Sevastien jumps in front of her to take the hit.

Sevastien: Huff... Puff... Are you unharmed, Bridgette?

Bridgette: I'm sorry... I... I let my guard down...

Sevastien: Urk!

Bridgette: Sevastien? Are you hurt?

Sevastien: My apologies... My arm seems to have been wounded...

Bridgette: Oh no! Will you be okay?

Sevastien: I'd like to think so, but... I'm afraid the wound is deeper than I thought.

Sevastien: At this rate, it seems that monsters will do the both of us in...

Sevastien: I'm sorry, Bridgette. Just leave me here and save yourself...

Bridgette: No!

Bridgette: ...

Bridgette: No way! There's no way I'll abandon you here, Sevastien!

Bridgette: We haven't lost yet—I still haven't given it my all!

Monster: Groooar!

Bridgette: Yaaah!

Bridgette: Hehe, I sure can't wait!

Sevastien: Hohoho... Patience is a virtue, dear Bridgette.

Thanks to Bridgette's bravery, the two have managed to safely bring back the ingredients.

As thanks for assisting him, Sevastien prepares a scrumptious meal for Bridgette.

Bridgette: I was really worried about what was gonna happen back there...

Sevastien: Hohoho... Indeed. It's fortunate that we were both able to make it back safely.

Sevastien: When the monster attacked, you were able to avoid its attacks and take it out yourself with practiced hands. Brilliant swordsmanship, I must say.

Sevastien: Simply put, you were marvelous... And you saved me.

Bridgette: Hehe... I'm gonna blush if you keep that up!

Sevastien: Well then, it looks like it's ready. A Lumiel specialty, with plenty of freshly picked ingredients.

Bridgette: Wow... This looks amazing!

Bridgette: Wait a second... Sevastien, what happened to your injury?

Sevastien: Hmm, whatever could it have been... I suppose it must've been a sudden bellyache.

Bridgette: Oh? I-I see. My apologies.

Sevastien: Hehe... Now then—you'd better get started on your food before it gets cold.

Bridgette: Oh, you're right! Time to dig in!

The instant the food touches her mouth, Bridgette's face melts into a smile.

Bridgette: It's deeelish! Your cuisine really is sublime, Sevastien!

Sevastien: Hohoho, you speak too highly of me.

Sevastien: The flavor you taste—that's the flavor of your efforts and bravery.

Bridgette: My efforts and bravery...

Sevastien: Indeed. The flavor of your triumph today, when you mustered the courage to stand up against the monster in a dire situation.

Sevastien: You were saying earlier that you wished to become like Captain Charlotta someday, yes?

Sevastien: Of course, I understand why you may feel doubtful or anxious at times.

Sevastien: However, behind the spectacle of Charlotta's splendor is simply her hard work and effort that often goes overlooked.

Sevastien: Charlotta may still seem like a distant goal. However, I know that you'll be able to catch up some day, Bridgette.

Sevastien: They say those with the biggest dreams never lose sight of their ambition. I'll always be cheering for you behind the scenes as well.

Bridgette: Thank you, Sevastien! I'm gonna keep doing everything I can and catch up to her one day!

Sevastien: Hohoho, now that's the spirit! Truly a radiant sight for this old dog's eyes.

Thanks to Sevastien's help and encouragement, Bridgette's resolve has been reinvigorated.

As such, another small step has brought her closer to realizing her dream of becoming like Charlotta.
