The Crybaby and the Butler
(Captain) and crew become acquainted with the monster artist Lunalu through an assignment. Upon discovering that her true passion lies in romantic art, they welcome her into the crew so that she can further her studies.
Monster: Grargh!
Vyrn: Whoa! It went that way, Lyria!
Lyria: I've got it! Umm, just need some more bait...
Vyrn: Hey! Hurry up, or it'll get away!
Lyria: It's getting away? Oh no! We're out of bait!
Monster: Graaargh!
Vyrn: Aw heck... Lunalu, haven't you finished drawing yet?
Lunalu: Not yet.
Lyria: Ahh! Please don't run away yet!
It all began a few hours earlier when the crew visited Sierokarte for the lowdown on an assignment.
Sierokarte: I have an assignment for you! A friend of mine runs a company that publishes the most up-to-date illustrated monster guides.
Sierokarte: And they would like to have you assist the artist responsible for the monster drawings.
Vyrn: No problem! But what can we do to help?
Sierokarte: Your job will be to make sure she can comfortably observe and sketch the monster.
Lyria: She? So it's a girl?
Sierokarte: Indeed, her name is Lunalu. She's made quite a name for herself as a monster artist.
Sierokarte: Her pictures are said to be so vivid, they could jump right out from the page!
Sierokarte: Well then, I'll leave it for you to handle!
Having completed the assignment, the crew rests awhile in Lunalu's home nearby.
Lyria: Phew, that was harder than I expected. I'm glad you managed to get the picture though!
Lunalu: It's not finished yet. Now I need to do the coloring.
Lyria: Huh? Now? Shouldn't you get some rest first?
Lunalu: I want to finish right away, while the monster is still fresh in my mind.
Lyria: Whoa... such enthusiasm for your art! That's cool!
Lunalu: It's not that. I'm just trying to do my job efficiently. It has nothing to do with inspiration or anything.
Lyria: Oh, umm... I guess that makes sense.
Vyrn: Aagh!
Lyria: V-Vyrn? The scream came from that room!
Lunalu: My workroom? What's he doing in my workroom!
Lyria: A-are you all right? What in the skies happened...
Vyrn: I can't believe it... There's so many paintings!
Lyria: Huh? Well, she is an artist after all...
Lyria: Eek! There's so many naked men!
Vyrn: And look! This is even stranger! I didn't expect this from Lunalu—
Lunalu: So you saw...
Lyria: Ahh! L-Lunalu?
Lunalu: It's err... It's normal practice for artists to draw basic human bodies.
Lunalu: Now would you please leave? I'd hate for anything to get broken...
Vyrn: Get away from her, Lyria! She can't be normal with all these paintings of men killing each other!
Lunalu: What? No, it's not like that! They're just... hugging.
Lyria: Huh? Hugging?
Lunalu: Yes! Oh, this is so embarrassing.
Vyrn: Umm, so you're not dangerous?
Lunalu: Guhh, of course not.
Lunalu: Right now, I'm only known for drawing monsters. But I really want to be recognized for romantic art.
Lyria: Err... romantic art?
Lunalu: ...
Lunalu: Knights in shining armor... princes from far-off lands... Don't you ever dream about such things?
Lunalu: Personal fantasies like that are captured very well in illustrated storybooks.
Lunalu: But as for what I'd want to create... I guess you'd call them romantic storybooks.
Vyrn: Romantic storybooks. How, uh... interesting.
Lunalu: Think what you want. I won't bother debating it.
Lyria: Hm, I've never seen anything like this before. Is it sold in shops?
Lunalu: No, it's more like a hobby of mine. I make each one personally and have nearby bookstores sell them for me.
Lunalu: But I haven't sold a single one yet.
Vyrn: Can't say I'm surprised. I imagine romantic drawings to be pretty, but yours are all scary.
Lunalu: It's just a habit of mine! My illustrative style and hobbies don't match!
Lunalu: But I get it... I know it's hopeless...
Lyria: That's...
Lunalu: Well, maybe I'm better off just drawing monsters for the rest of my life...
Vyrn: Hey, don't get so beat up about it. There must be some way you could improve?
Lunalu: The best way to improve is to copy something else, preferably something of top quality.
Lunalu: But around here, works of great romantic beauty are hard to come by, so I've struggled to even get a hold of anything.
Lyria: Hm, what might there be for you to study from then?
Lyria: I know! Why don't you travel with us? I'm sure you could find all sorts of storybooks!
Lunalu: Huh? W-with all of you? Is that really okay?
Lunalu: Th-thank you. You sure are a strange bunch...
Choose: Let's see if you improve.
Lunalu: Really? Well, I'd have to think about it...

Vyrn: Heheh, though maybe you shouldn't show your work to the rest of the crew. We wouldn't want them getting too excited.
Lunalu: Amazing... To think that I'll have the chance to gather all kinds of romantic objects...
Lunalu: Is this a dream? If it is, I hope I don't wake up.
Lunalu: All right! Ah, my sealed evil eye just started throbbing!
Lyria: Are you okay? If your eye hurts, should we take you to a doctor?
Lunalu: Ah, no, it's fine. I just have a little dry eye is all.
And so, Lunalu joins the crew in order to gather and study romantic works of art.
During Lunalu's journey to master her craft, her imagination extends farther than the vast skies.
