The Trick to Staying Young
Feeling sore, Deliford envies the lively skyfarers and asks Eugen for some advice. Eugen tells him to keep his body moving. Monsters suddenly appear, just in time to give Deliford some exercise.
Deliford: Ugh... Ouch!
Vyrn: What's wrong? You're moving pretty stiffly there.
Deliford: It's... nothing. Ouch!
Lyria: Are you all right? Did you get hurt during the battle yesterday?
Deliford: No... It's nothing like that. It's just...
Deliford: My muscles are so sore it's hard to move.
Vyrn: I see... but we can't do much about that. You're an old man after all!
Deliford: I'm not old! I'm in my 30s, which is still borderline young, and—Ouch!
Vyrn: Listen, old man... You shouldn't push yourself too hard.
Deliford: Ugh... How pathetic. This didn't happen when I was younger... Well, I'm still young, but still...
Deliford: How is it that skyfarers always seem so energetic? I mean, this is a rough lifestyle!
Deliford: If they know some health secret, I'd sure like to hear it.
Lyria: Well... Why don't we go and ask?
Eugen: Hahahaha! The secret to youthfulness?
Eugen: Forget it! What good would asking an old man like me do?
Deliford: No! Your age makes you the perfect person to ask! Please, tell me!
Eugen: Well... You know, you won't get sore if you just keep moving around!
Deliford: Really? Is that all there is to it?
Eugen: Look! Some monsters are approaching the airship. This is a good chance for some exercise. Go take care of 'em!
Deliford: Got it! Just watch. There's nothing my spear can't pierce!
The Trick to Staying Young: Scene 2
The crew tells the sore Deliford to take it easy, but he insists that he must protect them as the adult of the group. Just then, a group of monsters approaches the ship. Deliford grits through his muscle pain and heads out to battle.
Deliford: Ugh... Oof... Ouch...
Lyria: He looks like he's in pain...
Vyrn: Yeah... It's obviously getting worse...
Deliford: I should trust what Eugen says, since he's much more experienced than myself....
Deliford: But matter how you look at it, it's getting worse.
Lyria: Um... Maybe you could try taking it easy?
Vyrn: She's right! Besides, there's nothing to worry about. We've got (Captain)!
Deliford: I agree that (Captain) is very skilled... But still, it's no good.
Vyrn: Hey, whaddya mean by no good!
Deliford: I mean that I'm no good. The captain's strong, but just a kid nevertheless. I'm the adult here.
Deliford: Children depend on adults, and the adults protect the children. That's our responsibility.
Deliford: Being such a weakling... I fail as an adult!
Katalina: Everyone! More monsters are coming! A group of them are approaching the airship from behind.
Deliford: Leave it to me! I'll... Oof! Ouch! T-this is nothing!
Katalina: Um... What's wrong with Deliford?
Lyria: Ha-ha... Well, you see—
Vyrn: Hey! There's no time to stand around! We need to join the fight!
The Trick to Staying Young: Scene 3
After defeating the monsters, Deliford is so sore he can hardly take another step. Although Deliford recovers only by resting for several days, his bravery in the ordeal earns him the respect of his friends.
Deliford: Ugh... I can't take another step...
Vyrn: Look at ya... You went way too far there!
Lyria: Heehee... But you were quite dashing when you were fighting, Deliford!
Deliford: Heh... Hearing you say that makes it all worth it. Ouch...
Vyrn: But now I'm curious... What is the secret to Eugen's youthfulness?
Lyria: I was wondering the same thing... Deliford did exactly what he was told, but it only got worse.
Deliford: Perhaps the secret to Eugen's vigor is simply that he's Eugen.
Lyria: Ha-ha... You might be right.
Vyrn: Oh boy... I guess you chose the wrong person to ask after all.
In the end, Deliford recovers from his soreness only by resting for several days.
It is from this ordeal, however, that Deliford earns the respect of his friends, who no longer call him an old man so often.
