The Earth Mother Troubled
Lyria suggests that the crew members take a dip in the ocean, but upon learning that Galleon can't swim, they decide to play volleyball instead. Galleon attempts to inflate the ball, but blows too hard and accidently pops it. They quickly acquire another ball and enjoy their game, but Galleon becomes frustrated that she keeps causing problems for them.
(Captain)'s crew is spending the summer relaxing in Auguste.
After eating some bonito, the captain asks the group what they should do next.
Vyrn: If you ask me, we should try to work off some of that bonito.
Lyria: All right then, how about we go swimming?
Galleon: Observation.
(In that case, I will watch over you.)
(In that case, I will watch over you.)
Narmaya: Oh? You're not going to swim with us?
Galleon: Difficulty.
(I will not... Or rather, I cannot.)
(I will not... Or rather, I cannot.)
Lyria: You can't? I though you must be great at swimming, considering how you caught that bonito...
Galleon: Trudge.
(I caught that by walking along the ocean bed.)
(I caught that by walking along the ocean bed.)
Galleon: Respect.
(To swim requires mastering the sophisticated techniques that mortals have developed.)
(To swim requires mastering the sophisticated techniques that mortals have developed.)
Galleon: Difficulty.
(To do so with my inability to control the strength of this manifestation would prove difficult.)
(To do so with my inability to control the strength of this manifestation would prove difficult.)
Vyrn: Well, I guess there are plenty of people who can't learn to swim no matter how hard they try.
Narmaya: But wouldn't it be lonely just waiting by yourself? Not to mention that we want to spend time with you too...
Choose: Let's do something else!
Galleon: Apology.
(I'm sorry, I didn't want to make you change your plans.)
(I'm sorry, I didn't want to make you change your plans.)
Lyria: Don't worry about it! It'll be more fun to do something together!
Galleon: Gratitude.
(Thank you. You all are truly kind.)
(Thank you. You all are truly kind.)
Narmaya: Well then, what should we do instead? If we want to get some exercise, then...
Narmaya: I know, what about playing beach volleyball? I'm pretty sure that we brought one.
Vyrn: Hey, that's a great idea! I'll be the ref!
Galleon: Ignorance.
(Beach volleyball... How does one play?)
(Beach volleyball... How does one play?)
Lyria: Well, we get on different sides of a net and...
Galleon learns the rules of volleyball as they head for the beach.
Narmaya: We'll use this for the ball, Galleon.
Galleon: Flat.
(We will? It seems too flat to be called a ball.)
(We will? It seems too flat to be called a ball.)
Lyria: We blow air into it to make it big and round! Here, like this!
Lyria begins work inflating the ball, earnestly blowing several breaths into it, but it quickly becomes apparent that this will be a lengthy task.
Lyria: Whew...
Galleon: Replacement.
(I understand. Allow me, Girl in Blue.)
(I understand. Allow me, Girl in Blue.)
Lyria: Thank you, Galleon.
Galleon: Breath.
(So I place my mouth here, and...)
(So I place my mouth here, and...)
Galleon: Shock.
(...!)
(...!)
Vyrn: Whoa! Well, now we know what it looks like when you blow too much air into a beach ball.
Galleon: Dejection.
(I did not think... I'm so sorry about that.)
(I did not think... I'm so sorry about that.)
Galleon: Disgrace.
(However much trouble I might have controlling my strength, that's no excuse for...)
(However much trouble I might have controlling my strength, that's no excuse for...)
Narmaya: Don't worry, there are places that will let us borrow a ball! I'll be right back!
Galleon: Role.
(Would it not have been appropriate for me to go?)
(Would it not have been appropriate for me to go?)
Vyrn: Don't worry about it. We should have guessed that could happen.
Galleon: Trouble.
(I suppose, but...)
(I suppose, but...)
Galleon: (They're just trying to have fun, and everything I do ends up troubling them... I'm a disgrace.)
Seeing Galleon's expression turn grim, (Captain) insists that she shouldn't feel down about it.
Galleon: Gratitude.
(Thank you, Singularity. Your kindness truly means a lot to me.)
(Thank you, Singularity. Your kindness truly means a lot to me.)
Galleon: (I wish to repay it in kind, but that seems to be no easy feat...)
Narmaya: I got a ball! Let's start playing.
Vyrn: Thank, Narmaya! Right, who should we put on which team?
Despite some setbacks, the skyfarers are enjoying their time on the beach.
Galleon: ...
However, Galleon finds herself unable to put her misgivings aside.
The Earth Mother Troubled: Scene 2
Galleon sneaks out of the inn at night in order to practice swimming, but Narmaya warns her against it and offers to teach her instead once the sun rises. Under the Draph's tutelage, Galleon successfully learns to swim. As they happily return to the inn, they bond over their shared affection for (Captain).
After tiring themselves out on the beach, the crew members decide to spend the night in an inn instead of heading back to their ship.
Lyria: Zzz... Zzz...
Vyrn: Snooze...
Galleon: ...
Narmaya: Ngh...
Narmaya: Huh? Galleon's not here.
Narmaya: Where's she gone?
After being woken up by the sound of someone leaving the room, Narmaya notices Galleon's absence and follows her.
Galleon: ...
Seeing the dragon about to enter the ocean at night, she rushes to stop her.
Narmaya: Galleon!
Galleon: Abruptness.
(Draph Girl? What is the matter?)
(Draph Girl? What is the matter?)
Narmaya: What do you mean? It's dangerous to swim at night!
Galleon: Surprise.
(Is it?)
(Is it?)
Narmaya: Ah... Well, I guess that it wouldn't be for you, given your powers as one of the Six Dragons...
Narmaya: But someone else might see you and get worried like I was, so you shouldn't do it anyway.
Galleon: Comprehension.
(I see... If that's what you believe, then I'm sure that you are right. I will stop.)
(I see... If that's what you believe, then I'm sure that you are right. I will stop.)
Galleon: Consideration.
(That is troubling, though... I had hoped to finish while the sun was down.)
(That is troubling, though... I had hoped to finish while the sun was down.)
Narmaya: What exactly were you planning to do? Catch another fish?
Galleon: Swimming.
(I had thought to practice swimming.)
(I had thought to practice swimming.)
Galleon: Shame.
(After all, my inability to do so made the singularity have to change plans for my sake.)
(After all, my inability to do so made the singularity have to change plans for my sake.)
Narmaya: I see...
Narmaya: (I guess not being able to swim with us must have been really bothering her...)
Narmaya: All right then, I'll give you a hand! As soon as the sun comes up, we'll come back here and get some practice in, okay?
Galleon: Regret.
(Are you sure? I would hate to cause trouble for you...)
(Are you sure? I would hate to cause trouble for you...)
Narmaya: I'll be happy to! I'm sure that having someone to teach you will make it go faster...
Narmaya: And most importantly, I bet that (Captain) will be thrilled to go swimming with you!
Galleon: Gratitude.
(Thank you, Draph Girl. I think that I'll take you up on that.)
(Thank you, Draph Girl. I think that I'll take you up on that.)
Narmaya: Leave it to me!
Narmaya and Galleon head back to the inn until the sun rises, after which they slip back out to the ocean without waking their crewmates.
Narmaya: Let's see, where do I start? How to take breaths while swimming, maybe?
Galleon: Trace.
(This vessel does not need to breathe as often as mortals do.)
(This vessel does not need to breathe as often as mortals do.)
Narmaya: You don't? That sure is a convenient vessel. In that case, let's...
Galleon starts to practice swimming under Narmaya's tutelage.
Narmaya: I get it! You're sinking like that because your muscles are all tensed up!
Galleon: Understanding.(Tense, you say... I suppose that you might be right about that.)
Galleon: Pressure.
(I used too much power while handling the bonito and volleyball as well.)
(I used too much power while handling the bonito and volleyball as well.)
Galleon: Hardship.
(To think that it would prove so difficult to restrain myself from using my strength.)
(To think that it would prove so difficult to restrain myself from using my strength.)
Narmaya: Hmm... I'd tell you to do your best, but I feel like that might backfire... How should I describe it...
Narmaya: It's not like when performing a quickdraw... Oh, what if I just told you to relax! Haha, I don't know about that...
Galleon: ...!
Galleon: Suspension.
(I did it! I was just floating for a moment! What do you think, Draph Girl?)
(I did it! I was just floating for a moment! What do you think, Draph Girl?)
Narmaya: You were! You really were, Galleon! Now just keep doing that!
Galleon: Continuation.
(Right, like this... Relax... Relax...)
(Right, like this... Relax... Relax...)
Narmaya: Okay, I'm going to hold your hands, so try kicking with your legs.
Galleon: Resolve.
(Kick...)
(Kick...)
As Galleon focuses on the movement, Narmaya gently lets go of her hands.
Galleon: Focus.
(Keep moving my legs... but not too forcefully...)
(Keep moving my legs... but not too forcefully...)
Narmaya: Wow, you're doing it! You're swimming!
Galleon: Surprise.
(Oh my!)
(Oh my!)
Upon hearing Narmaya's words, Galleon tenses up again and starts to sink.
Narmaya: Whoa! Are you all right?
Galleon: Safety.
(Yes, I'm quite fine... More importantly, I was swimming just now, wasn't I?)
(Yes, I'm quite fine... More importantly, I was swimming just now, wasn't I?)
Narmaya: Yes, you were doing great! I'm amazed at how fast you've managed it, Galleon.!
Galleon: Gratitude.
(It's all because of your tutelage. I can't thank you enough.)
(It's all because of your tutelage. I can't thank you enough.)
Galleon: Cheer.
(Now those three won't have to inconvenience themselves over me.)
(Now those three won't have to inconvenience themselves over me.)
Narmaya: Hehe, I'm happy you feel that way. It's probably about time to head back, though.
The two decide to wrap up their practice and return to the inn before breakfast.
Galleon: Gratitude.
(I truly appreciate your help, Draph Girl.)
(I truly appreciate your help, Draph Girl.)
Galleon: Appreciation.
(I would like to repay you somehow. Is there anything that I can do for you?)
(I would like to repay you somehow. Is there anything that I can do for you?)
Narmaya: Oh, you really don't need to repay me or anything...
Narmaya: But... would it be all right if I asked you a question, Galleon?
Galleon: Certainty.
(Of course. Ask me anything.)
(Of course. Ask me anything.)
Narmaya: Well, I've noticed that you're always trying to help (Captain) and the others out.
Narmaya: So I was just wondering why it is you do that.
Galleon: Reason.
(Well, let's see... I suppose that one reason lies in the singularity's fate.)
(Well, let's see... I suppose that one reason lies in the singularity's fate.)
Galleon: Anguish.
(The path demanded by that fate is strewn with hardships, and I would have those troubles be rewarded.)
(The path demanded by that fate is strewn with hardships, and I would have those troubles be rewarded.)
Galleon: Desire.
(I wish to provide whatever solace I can. That is why I act as I do.)
(I wish to provide whatever solace I can. That is why I act as I do.)
Narmaya: I see... You're just like me, then.
Narmaya: I want to help those three too, especially when things get hard.
Narmaya: I was able to start loving myself because they said they loved me...
Narmaya: I want to pay them back for helping me to do that.
Galleon: Repayment.
(Pay them back, you say... I feel that way as well.)
(Pay them back, you say... I feel that way as well.)
Galleon: Compensation.
(The sky realm still exists as it does only because of the singularity's efforts, after all.)
(The sky realm still exists as it does only because of the singularity's efforts, after all.)
Galleon: Furthermore.
(However... that is not the only reason.)
(However... that is not the only reason.)
Narmaya: ...?
Galleon: Love.
(I treat those three with such care because I love them from the bottom of my heart.)
(I treat those three with such care because I love them from the bottom of my heart.)
Narmaya: Hehe, I know what you mean. They're so cute and pure.
Narmaya: I always feel like they need to be taken care of too!
Galleon: Congruity.
(Hehe, it seems that we're awfully alike.)
(Hehe, it seems that we're awfully alike.)
Narmaya: Haha, indeed it does! I think we're going to get along!
Galleon: Felicity.
(That makes me quite happy to hear. I look forward to it.)
(That makes me quite happy to hear. I look forward to it.)
Narmaya: Likewise!
The Earth Mother Troubled: Scene 3
Galleon and Narmaya meet (Captain), Lyria, and Vyrn at the inn and go out for breakfast with them. After eating, they all decide to take part in a sandcastle-building contest. Galleon creates a mountain of sand for them to use and they end up taking second place. Galleon then suggests once again that they play in the ocean and shows off her new ability to swim. Delighted that she can now join them in the water, the crew members enjoy the rest of their vacation with Galleon by their side.
Lyria: Galleon, Narmaya! Where have you been?
Galleon: Secret.
(Hehe, just taking a walk.)
(Hehe, just taking a walk.)
Vyrn: Oh, that must have been fun! The beach is so nice in the morning.
Lyria: Would you like to go get breakfast? I'm feeling pretty hungry, haha...
Galleon: Remorse.
(I'm very sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's go remedy that.)
(I'm very sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's go remedy that.)
Narmaya: Should we go to a beach house, or find a food stall that's open in the morning?
The group decides to buy food from a stall, and then takes a walk on the beach as they eat.
Lyria: This sandwich is delicious!
Narmaya: Hehe, you've got some sauce on your cheek, Lyria! Here, let me wipe it for you.
Galleon: Open.
(Here are some vegetables, Singularity.)
(Here are some vegetables, Singularity.)
Narmaya and Galleon have already started their usual doting.
Galleon: Mastication.
(Have you swallowed? Then here, drink this.)
(Have you swallowed? Then here, drink this.)
Narmaya: Are you full, Vyrn, or would you like a bit more?
Vyrn: Hmm... I think I'm good, thanks!
Vyrn: Whoa! Hey everyone, look at this flier!
Lyria: Let's see... Oh, it's the sandcastle building contest! That was lots of fun last time we did it!
Vyrn: Right? We should do it again!
Vyrn: That way we can stick with Galleon even though she can't swim.
Lyria: Good point!
Galleon: ...?
Lyria and Vyrn nod at each other and the group decides to take part in the contest.
Narmaya: I've never made a sandcastle before. Let's all work together and make a really big one!
Lyria: All right!
Having finished their meal, they head toward the contest venue.
Vyrn: They told us to build ours right here!
Lyria: The team that makes the most amazing castle by noon will win first place!
Galleon: Majesty.
(The most amazing, you say. What kind of castle do you think they would find amazing?)
(The most amazing, you say. What kind of castle do you think they would find amazing?)
Narmaya: Hmm... One that's really intricate, probably? I guess being big would help as well.
Vyrn: Yeah, a small castle's not gonna have much oomph, no matter how fancy it is.
Lyria: I guess that means we should start by gathering a lot of sand!
Galleon: Accumulation.
(Gather sand? Very well.)
(Gather sand? Very well.)
Galleon: Capability.
(Allow me. Hah!)
(Allow me. Hah!)
Galleon waves her hand, and a mountain of sand rises before the group's eyes.
Lyria: Wha?
Narmaya: She summoned a mountain of sand in an instant!
Galleon: Insufficiency.
(Is this not enough? I can create as much as we need.)
(Is this not enough? I can create as much as we need.)
Vyrn: No, this'll definitely be enough!
Lyria: Right, you're the wedge in charge of earth! I guess that means you can do this kind of thing easily!
Narmaya: Whoa, that surprised me! Well, now that we have all this sand, all that's left is to shape it.
Galleon: Order.
(What should I do next?)
(What should I do next?)
Vyrn: Let's see, first we've gotta get this whole thing a bit wet so that it hardens up.
The group enthusiastically begins forming the mountain into a castle.
Lyria: We're done!
Vyrn: One sandcastle, slide included, ready for action!
Narmaya: We did such a good job!
Galleon: Quality.
(Not only is it impressive to look at, it can be played on as well. This is truly good work.)
(Not only is it impressive to look at, it can be played on as well. This is truly good work.)
Vyrn: You know, I think we might even win this!
The crew members wait for the results with great expectations in their hearts, but find that they came in second place.
Vyrn: I guess there was no way we could beat that one... I had no idea you could make a sandcastle that intricate.
Lyria: It was really amazing! There were gates and balconies, and all the walls actually looked like they were made of bricks!
Galleon: Shock.
(The ingenuity of mortals never ceases to amaze me.)
(The ingenuity of mortals never ceases to amaze me.)
Narmaya: Still though, our castle with a slide came in second!
Lyria: Yes, you're right! We did a good job!
Vyrn: Yeah, just showing up out of nowhere and getting second is plenty impressive!
Lyria: And so many people used the slide, so it was definitely worth it!
Galleon: Blessing.
(Indeed, we should be proud of what we accomplished. A blessing on all of you...)
(Indeed, we should be proud of what we accomplished. A blessing on all of you...)
Galleon kisses everybody's cheeks one by one.
Lyria: Oh Galleon!
Narmaya: Haha, I think that I've gotten used to it now.
Galleon: Heat.
(It seems that you all are a bit hot. We should have you cool down.)
(It seems that you all are a bit hot. We should have you cool down.)
Galleon: Swimming.
(Since we're at the beach and all, why not cool yourselves down in the ocean?)
(Since we're at the beach and all, why not cool yourselves down in the ocean?)
Vyrn: Yeah, I bet that would feel great!
Lyria: But I thought you couldn't...
Narmaya: Hehe, you don't have to worry about that. Right, Galleon?
Galleon: Presentation.
(Hehe...)
(Hehe...)
As the trio hesitates, Galleon walks into the ocean.
Galleon: ...
Once her feet stop reaching the ocean floor, she starts demonstrating the swimming technique she learned, the doggy paddle, to the crew.
Vyrn: Whoa! You learned how to swim, Galleon?
Lyria: Wow, when did you do that?
Galleon: Gratitude.
(It's all thanks to the Draph Girl. Now you won't have to avoid the ocean for my sake anymore.)
(It's all thanks to the Draph Girl. Now you won't have to avoid the ocean for my sake anymore.)
Galleon: Play.
(Now come, let's enjoy our summer vacation to the fullest.)
(Now come, let's enjoy our summer vacation to the fullest.)
Narmaya: Yeah, I agree! Let's go, everyone!
Galleon: Delight.
(Hehe...)
(Hehe...)
The other crew members follow the dragon into the water as she looks on them with a smile.
For the rest of the day, they all enjoy the ocean to their heart's content, with the compassionate dragon accompanying her beloved mortals the whole time.
