Hometown Guide
Before summer vacation, Gwynne and the crew visit her hometown to help with a festival, but her parents' misunderstanding leads them to enjoy it instead. Seeing how excited Lyria and the others are, Gwynne offers to show them around and changes into a yukata.
Summer vacation season is almost here. However...
(Captain) and the crew have set a course not for Auguste, but for a certain island.
Gwynne: I'm sorry, (Captain). I know I'm asking a lot.
Vyrn: Aw, don't sweat it! But I gotta admit, I was surprised when you suddenly asked us to let you visit home.
Lyria: So when you say "home," you mean your parents' house, right, Gwynne?
Gwynne: Yeah. My family runs a little restaurant, and we put up a food stall for the festival every year. I wanted to go help with that.
Lyria: Ooh, there's a festival?
Gwynne: The Halloween festival back home is a big event, but the summer one is always busy too.
Gwynne: It's a big time of year for the restaurant, so Mom and Dad are both working hard. Besides, I've been wanting to visit for a while now.
Vyrn: Guess ya haven't had many chances to go home, huh?
Gwynne: This is the first time I've been able to go back for the festival since joining the Society. Between training and... everything else, there just wasn't a chance.
Gwynne: If I'm going all that way, the least I can do is pitch in and lighten their workload.
Gwynne gazes into the distance with a smile, and the crew members trade knowing looks.
Lyria: If that's why we're going, we'd be happy to help as well!
Gwynne: Are you sure? But what about Auguste?
Vyrn: It's fine! Auguste ain't going anywhere, it can wait!
Gwynne: N-No, really! I couldn't ask you to do that!
Gwynne: You're already making a detour for me. I can't let you do any work on top of that!
Choose: I want to check out the festival!
Lyria: Me too! I'd love to see what sort of festival it is!
Choose: I want to meet your parents!
Gwynne: Huh? Wh-why? It doesn't need to be that big a deal!
Vyrn: Relax. Besides, we've got experience helping with festival stalls!
Lyria: Right! And I wanted to see what sort of festival it is!

Gwynne: I wouldn't get your hopes up too much. It's a pretty ordinary small-town festival.
Vyrn: Maybe, but you've been wanting to go for ages, right?
Vyrn: You can't tell us that and expect us not to be interested!
Lyria: Listening to you talk about it has gotten me excited to see it too!
Gwynne: Haha, honestly. How could I say no when you both look so excited?
Gwynne: All right. Let's all go together.
Gwynne: Even if you don't help, I'd still like you all to enjoy the festival.
And so, (Captain) and the crew accompany Gwynne to the island where she was raised. When they arrive...
Gwynne's Father: Well, look who's home! Welcome back, Gwynne. Hm? Could this be...
Gwynne: Dad! I'm hom—
Gwynne's Father: Hey, get out here! Gwynne's home, and she brought (Captain)!
Vyrn: Uh? Wh-what's going on?
Gwynne's Mother: My, if it isn't (Captain)! And everyone from the crew as well! How kind of you to come!
Gwynne's Mother: You must be hungry after such a long trip! Come, we have some food for the stall!
Gwynne: M-Mom! It's fine, really! You don't have to make a fuss!
Gwynne's Mother: Don't be silly. These are the captain and crew members who've been looking after you!
Gwynne's Father: Easy there. You'll spoil things for (Captain).
Gwynne: Exactly! You're making everyone—
Gwynne's Father: If they've come all this way at this time of year, they must be here to enjoy the festival.
Gwynne's Father: We've gotta leave them something to look forward to at the stall!
Gwynne: Dad! That's not what I meant!
Gwynne's Father: And don't you worry, Gwynne. Your favorite stall is back again this year!
Gwynne: You're missing the point! I came to help, not just enjoy the festival!
Gwynne's Mother: Help?
Gwynne: Yes! With the restaurant! You're gonna be busy with the festival stall, right?
Gwynne's Father: No need, no need! You came all the way to the island, just enjoy yourselves!
Vyrn: A-Are you sure?
Gwynne's Father: Of course. You haven't been to the festival in ages either, have you, Gwynne?
Gwynne: That's true, but...
Gwynne's Mother: Oh, I know! A yukata boutique store just opened nearby. Why don't you stop by while you're here?
Gwynne's Father: That's a fine idea! Now run along before night falls!
Gwynne: Now wait, just a sec—
Gwynne: ...
Gwynne: Um... I'm sorry. This ended up being a bit awkward.
Gwynne: I guess my parents just got excited when they saw you and the crew, (Captain).
Lyria: Ahaha... Don't worry, it's no problem at all!
Vyrn: Ain't this actually a good thing? Now ya can enjoy the festival without feelin' guilty!
Lyria: That's right! We'll have much more fun if you're with us, Gwynne!
Gwynne: Vyrn... Lyria...
Gwynne: I guess you're right. Then I'd better make sure you all enjoy it as much as possible.
Gwynne: Let me show you around.
Gwynne: I grew up around food, so I already know where the good stalls are.
Vyrn: Sounds good! Show us the good stuff!
Lyria: Let's start by finding you a yukata!
Gwynne: Ah... Haha, good idea. Since we're here, maybe we should all wear one.
Vyrn: Your mom said there was a yukata place around here. Let's go check it out!
Lyria and Vyrn happily follow after Gwynne as they set out together.
Gwynne: It really has been a while since I dressed up for this festival.
Gwynne: What do you think?
Lyria: Oh, Gwynne, you look wonderful!
Vyrn: I'll say! Looks real good on ya!
Gwynne: I-I don't really know what to do with all these compliments...
Choose: You look lovely.
Choose: That looks perfect on you!
Gwynne: Um... Sorry. Thanks...
Vyrn: Gotta say, I didn't expect you to look this different dressed up.
Gwynne: I-I don't think I look that different...
Lyria: No, you do! You're very elegant in a yukata!
Gwynne: Um, c-can we get going now? I really don't need all these compliments...
Choose: But it really is cute.
Gwynne: Wh-what?
Gwynne: (Captain), you really shouldn't say things like that!
Gwynne: Rumors about girls spread like wildfire even if they're baseless, you know!
A faint blush rises on Gwynne's cheeks before she gives (Captain) a push from behind.
With Gwynne as their guide, (Captain) and the crew step into the festival, ready to make the most of the summer day ahead.
