Scenario:Malinda - A Contest for Apples

A Contest for Apples

To try to make up for eating Vyrn's apple that he'd packed for lunch, Malinda leads the crew to an apple tree surrounded by monsters. Since no apples remain, she brings back apples from a different part of the forest, and Vyrn is finally able to finish his lunch.

---

Vyrn: Aaah!

(Captain) and company are walking through the forest in search of monsters that had destroyed a field of crops.

Vyrn's sudden shriek stills echoes off the trees.

Lyria: What happened?

Malinda: Burp.

Vyrn: This stinkin' dragon just ate the apple I packed for lunch!

Malinda: Gyoo.

Lyria: Oh, is that it? Thank goodness.

Vyrn: What do you mean, is that it? This is important, Lyria!

Malinda: Gyooo... Gyoo, gyoo.

Vyrn: Huh? I don't care if you were hungry!

Malinda: Gyoo...

Vyrn: Yeah, right! I'm not forgiving you!

Lyria: Now, now, I still have one apple left.

Lyria pulls out an apple from her bag.

Vyrn: Oooh! That's my Lyria!

Malinda: Gyoo! Slurp!

Lyria: Eek!

Before she can hand Vyrn the apple, Malinda's tongue darts out and snatches it away.

Malinda: Gulp.

Vyrn: Argh! You little! You stinkin'!

Malinda: Gyoo? Gyoo, gyoo!

Vyrn: That was no accident! Aaah! Lyria!

Lyria: I'm sorry, Vyrn. That was the last one.

Vyrn: No! This is an emergency! We're heading into town right now to buy some apples!

Lyria: But the townspeople can't pick any apples because of the monsters.

Vyrn: Agh! That's right! Darn it! I need apples...

Malinda: Gyoo. Gyoo, gyoo! Gyoo!

Vyrn: Hm? Really?

Lyria: What did she say?

Vyrn: She smells apples over there, so there's probably an apple tree.

Malinda: Gyoo! Gyooo!

Vyrn: Well, why don't we go take a look. We might find those monsters on the way too.

They keep walking through the forest, and sure enough, an apple tree grows before them.

Vyrn: Aaaah!

Unfortunately, a large group of monsters swarm around the tree.

Vyrn: Why is this happening? My poor apples!

Malinda: Gyoo!

Lyria: Calm down, Vyrn! They don't belong to you yet!

Vyrn: Who cares about that! Let's go beat up those monsters, (Captain)!

Malinda: Gyooo!

The monsters don't stand a chance against (Captain) and two enraged dragons.

Monster: Gragh...

But the truth is they're too late. The apple tree has been stripped clean.

Vyrn: Ah! Aaaah!

Lyria: Oh, those were the monsters we were supposed to get rid of, weren't they?

Vyrn: Sob... So what? My apples are gone...

Malinda: Gyoo... Gyoo!

Vyrn: Huh? You smell more apples? Where?

Malinda: Gyoo...

Vyrn: Aww...

Lyria: Huh? What's wrong? Aren't there any apples?

Vyrn: She can smell them, but they're really far away. She doesn't know where they are for sure.

Malinda: Gyoo. Groawr!

Malinda lets out a deafening roar and transforms into her adult form.

Malinda: ...!

Without another word, she launches herself high into the air and flies off.

Lyria: What is it? Malinda?

Malinda returns after a short while.

Vyrn: Oh! That's...

A branch with several apples growing from it hangs from Malinda's mouth.

Vyrn: Did you fly over the forest to find these for me?

Malinda: ...

Malinda nods silently.

Vyrn: Hehe, thank you!

Lyria: Heehee! See? It all worked out, Vyrn!

Malinda: Gyoo!

Lyria: Hm? You want me to have some too? Thank you, Malinda!

Vyrn: Oh! There's enough for (Captain) too! Nice! Let's chow down and head back to town!

Malinda: Gyoo!

The crew make their way back to the main road, munching on apples along the way.

As they head back to town to report their triumph, their mouths are full with the sweet taste of success.
