Couple Charade
Eager to fulfill her new role as the Evokers' spokesperson, Haaselia decides to organize a gathering for the ladies of the group to build camaraderie. She sets her sights on winning a luxury cottage stay in a couples-only competition in Auguste, enlisting (Captain) as her pretend partner.
The Arcarum—primal beasts created by The World.
Those chosen to form pacts with these beings are known as Evokers.
Several days ago in Auguste, when all ten Evokers convened for the first time, the discussion turned to selecting a spokesperson.
Maria Theresa: A spokesperson, you say... I think that Haase would be best for the job!
Katzelia: Haase is highly responsible, after all! I'm strongly in favor!
Haaselia: All... all right, then! I'll do my best!
In the end, Haaselia was unanimously chosen to fulfill the role.
Haaselia: Hmm...
Haaselia: (Even though I accepted the position of spokesperson, there's nothing that requires my attention at present.)
Haaselia: (But there must be something I can do. I need to take the initiative and find it myself. After all, I wasn't given this title for show.)
The Moon: You appear to have ample free time. Have you returned to being unemployed?
Haaselia: I'm simply deliberating. And you're supposed to be my partner, aren't you? Why don't you contribute some ideas?
The Moon: Was it not you who was chosen as spokesperson? Though should you beg my assistance, I might deign to offer it.
Haaselia: It's irritating when you phrase it that way... Fine then. I'll do this myself.
Haaselia: Let's see... As coordinator of the group, I'd like to understand everyone's personalities better.
Haaselia: I only first met most members the other day, so we hardly know each other. We need to build stronger connections.
Haaselia: There's so much that can be revealed through dialogue! Communication is key!
The Moon: You seem quite enthusiastic. Shall we begin making the rounds to everyone's chambers for discussion, then?
Haaselia: That would be more like conducting interviews. It's far too formal.
Haaselia: The setting makes all the difference for this sort of thing. We need a location and atmosphere that encourages natural dialogue.
The Moon: My, you've given this considerable thought.
Haaselia: But with all ten of us gathered, I doubt the conversation will flow any better than last time. Perhaps a smaller group would make bonding easier?
Haaselia: There are four of us ladies... Numbers-wise, that seems just about right.
The Moon: A girls' night out? That sounds promising.
Haaselia: Hehe, doesn't it?
Haaselia: The question is, what should we do? Just meeting at a cafe feels a little dull.
Haaselia: This will be the first ever girls' night for the Evokers, so I'd like it to be memorable...
Haaselia: I just need to come up with a good idea...
Katzelia: Haase! Did you call for me?
Haaselia: Eep!
Haaselia: Could you not burst in like that? My heart nearly stopped!
Katzelia: What's the matter? Why are you upset? Tell your big brother all about it!
Haaselia: Still as irksome as ever...
Haaselia: Why are you here? I don't recall summoning you.
Katzelia: I sensed you were in distress, so I rushed over at full speed!
The Moon: Bwahaha! Such intuition might as well be a superpower! Truly worthy of an emperor!
Haaselia: This has nothing to do with him being emperor. It's purely coincidental... I think.
Haaselia: I'll admit I'm at a bit of a loss, but it's not something I need to rely on you for, Brother—nor do I intend to.
Haaselia: Since you nominated me as spokesperson, shouldn't you be stepping back and letting me figure things out on my own?
Katzelia: Ah, I see. So this is about your new role... You do make a fair point.
Haaselia: Then would you kindly take your leave, Brother?
Katzelia: Very well. If nothing else, I was able to witness how much you've grown. I suppose I should be content with that.
Katzelia: Still, I plan to stay for a few more days as a sort of vacation. Should you absolutely need help—
Before Katzelia can get another word in, Haaselia promptly ushers him out and shuts the door behind him.
Haaselia: Sigh... That was exhausting.
The Moon: Heh. Your brother is most entertaining.
Haaselia: That's easy to say when you're not the one dealing with him. Though I suppose I'm not as bothered by him as I once was.
Haaselia: Anyway, I think I'll take a brief stroll for a change of scenery. Perhaps some inspiration will strike.
Haaselia walks along deep in thought, taking in the sights of Auguste.
Haaselia: (Hmm... Somewhere stylish... with delicious food and a relaxing atmosphere...)
Haaselia: (There are plenty of venues here that meet those criteria, but they're all missing that extra spark...)
Haaselia: (It needs to be something truly special. A once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience...)
Haaselia: Hm? What's this?
Her eyes land on a flyer advertising a local event.
Haaselia: "Prove your love in the ultimate heart-pounding beachside couples contest!" You could hardly ask for a more summery experience.
Haaselia: First prize is a one-night stay at a luxury cottage...
Haaselia: ...!
Yes! This is it!
Yes! This is it!
Haaselia: A girls' night out in a luxury cottage would make for an unforgettable memory! I can't imagine a better plan!
Haaselia: (There's just one issue...)
Seeing the phrase "couples only" listed in the entry requirements, Haaselia frowns.
Haaselia: (Who should I ask to play the role of my partner? It's pointless unless we win, so I need someone I can trust...)
Haaselia: (Well then. There's really only one option.)
Haaselia: So that's the situation. Would you be willing to be my partner, (Captain)? Just for the duration of the contest, of course.
Vyrn: Hey, that sounds pretty fun!
Vyrn: Braidy Girl's really steppin' up as the Evokers' spokesperson. The least we can do is lend a hand!
Haaselia: Hehe, that's the answer I was hoping for. I made the right decision asking you.
Haaselia: You mean that we're faking?
Haaselia: Not if we put on a good show. As the older one here, I'll take the lead. There's no need for you to worry.

Lyria: Good luck, you two! Vyrn and I will be rooting for you!
Haaselia: Thank you. That means a lot.
The Moon: I'll remain behind. You should have no trouble securing victory even without my cheering, yes?
Haaselia: Naturally. Now, let's be on our way.
Haaselia: So this is the venue.
Haaselia: Are you ready, (Captain)? We're not settling for anything less than first place!
After registering for the competition, Haaselia and (Captain) gather their resolve, ready to face the challenge ahead.
