Floral Arrangement
(Captain)'s party visits a tavern to speak to a man with information on the royal family. Unfortunately, they find him being carried off to some kind of thug hideout, and quickly give chase.
(Captain) and company learn of an Erune man that has information on the royal family.
Sierokarte sets up an appointment for them to meet at the tavern, but he has yet to show up.
Vyrn: Hmm... Our contact is supposed to come and talk to us, right?
Vyrn: What's going on? No one's talking to us.
Societte: ...
Vyrn: Hm? What's wrong Societte?
(Captain) looks at Societte.
Societte is blatantly staring at an Erune man with her tail wagging quietly.
Erune Man: ... Um.
Societte: !
Erune Man: Oh, haha, hello...
The Erune man meets eyes with Societte. After an an awkward moment, he smiles and walks away.
Societte: A-Aww...
Societte's ears and tail slump down sadly as she watches the man leave.
Vyrn: Hey now... What are you doing?
Societte: H-He was staring into my eyes.
Societte: I-I thought he would come talk to me...
Lyria: Um, maybe he was the person that we were supposed to meet...
Societte: Oh, so that's why he looked like he was about to say something...
Vyrn: Hey... Why didn't you say something?
Vyrn: Let's go find him!
Erune Man: ...
Societte: T-There he is! That's him!
Vyrn: Alright, let's talk to him! Hey, excuse me!
Right as Vyrn calls out to him, scoundrels suddenly appear from the back alley.
The scoundrels knock the man unconscious and try to take him away.
Vyrn: H-Hey! What do you think you're doing?!
Thug: Damn, someone saw us...! We'll buy some time, so you guys take him to the hideout.
Societte: ...!
Let's help him, (Captain)!
Let's help him, (Captain)!
Floral Arrangement: Scene 2
(Captain) and the crew struggle in vain as the Erune man is kidnapped by thugs. When Societte frantically asks them to help, the party realizes the gravity of the situation and gives chase.
Thug 1: Whoa, these guys are strong... Hm?
Thug 1: That dance... Those fans... It can't be...
Societte: ...!
Thug 2: Hey, it's time to go.
Vyrn: Hold it, you informant-snatching jerks!
Societte: Let's go after 'em, (Captain)!
Societte: If we don't hurry, they'll kill him!
Vyrn: W-wait, for real?
Societte: ...
Societte: My parents were killed by evil people who wanted information on the royal family.
Vyrn: Say what?
Lyria: D-does that mean they're the same bad people who are targeting you, Societte?
Societte: To people like them, information on the royal families is as precious as any treasure. That's why they're after me. And if we don't do something, he's going to be in danger too.
Vyrn: Then we need to hurry!
Lyria: Oh, look over there!
Vyrn: Hm? A cave?
Societte: One of the men from earlier just went inside. That must be their hideout!
Societte: Let's go, (Captain)!
Thug 2: Whoa there! You're not getting past me!
Societte: ...?
Thug 2: It's payback time! And this time, I'm not gonna hold back!
Vyrn: You never learn, do you? Guess we have to make sure the lesson sticks, (Captain)!
Floral Arrangement: Scene 3
The crew finds the Erune man being questioned by the leader of the thugs, who realizes Societte's true identity after noticing her fan. The crew draw their weapons and prepare to save the Erune man.
The crew defeats the thugs and enters their hideout.
There, they find the Erune man being questioned.
Gang Leader: All right, time to talk! Tell us everything you know about the royal families and Ninetails!
Erune Man: Agh... Urgh... Never... I'll never tell you!
Societte: Stop!
Thug: Boss, that's her! The one I told you about!
Gang Leader: A fan bearing the crest of a royal family? Hahaha... You must be joking.
Gang Leader: I never expected an heir to a royal family—a successor to the power of Ninetails—would come right to me!
Vyrn: Hm? Ninetails?
Societte: ...
Gang Leader: You saved us the trouble of finding you! How lucky...
Societte: Are you the ones who killed my parents?
Gang Leader: Huh? What are you talking about?
Societte: ...
Societte: Why are ya after the power of Ninetails, then?
Gang Leader: Buh? So I can do whatever I want with the power of the almighty, obviously!
Societte: That's not gonna happen.
Societte: If you can't even beat me, the power of Ninetails will forever remain outside your grasp.
Gang Leader: What'd you say?
Gang Leader: Enough! Get them, men!
Societte: Here they come, (Captain)!
Floral Arrangement: Scene 4
(Captain)'s crew rescues the Erune man, who reveals he's a successor of the royal family, but doesn't have the information Societte is looking for. Societte attempts to leave the crew, but realizes the bond she now shares with them is deeper than she imagined.
(Captain) and company defeat the ruffians, but several of them manage to get away.
Thankfully, they still manage to successfully rescue the Erune man.
Erune Man: I can't thank you enough for rescuing me.
Erune Man: Terribly sorry about what happened back at the tavern...
Erune Man: That young miss over there was so elegant and dignified, I found myself at a loss for words.
Vyrn: Heheh! I know how you feel!
Lyria: Societte really is pretty, isn't she? I don't blame you for getting nervous.
Erune Man: Er, yes. As embarrassing as it is to say, I was simply quite nervous. My apologies.
Societte: Um, it's okay... I'm sorta responsible too.
Erune Man: Considering your beauty and elegance, I'm not surprised to hear you're of royal descent.
The Erune man explains why he arranged a meetup with the party.
As a descendant of a branch of a royal family, he had grown increasingly concerned about the number of people seeking the power of Ninetails.
When he heard the crew was searching for information on the royal families, he decided to find out what their intentions were.
Erune Man: I never even imagined I'd encounter a direct descendant of one of the royal bloodline, however.
Societte: Which royal family did you serve?
Erune Man: I'm sorry, but... my ancestors were of a very distant branch. I'm afraid I don't know which family they served under.
Erune Man: I was told stories of Ninetails and the royal families, but not much beyond that.
Societte: I see... Understood. Thank you.
Erune Man: I'm terribly sorry I couldn't be of help. Now, if you'll excuse me...
Vyrn: Hey now! Are you gonna be okay by yourself?
Erune Man: Yes, I'll be fine. I may have let my guard down earlier, but I can take care of myself, I assure you.
With that, the man thanks them once again and leaves.
Societte: ...
Vyrn: Hey, Societte. I've been wondering...
Vyrn: What's this Ninetails thing we keep hearing about?
Societte: Ninetails is a being of great power. My family served her for generations.
Lyria: Is that...
Societte: Yes. The true name of the living flame I'm searching for.
Vyrn: Gotcha... Why didn't you tell us?
Societte: I thought that if I told you about her, you would only end up being dragged into my conflict.
Societte: ...
Societte: S-so um... it's probably better if I continued my journey alone.
Lyria: Huh? W-why do you say that?
Societte: Well, think about those bad guys that escaped earlier.
Societte: They're coming after me next time. And they'll be chasing the power of Lady Ninetails.
Societte: So something like today might happen again... Or worse.
Choose: We can't leave you by yourself.
Societte: Huh?
Lyria: That's right! We can't leave you alone after hearing that!
Societte: B-but I—
Vyrn: No buts! Do you remember when we first met?
Societte: Yeah...
Lyria: We told you we were going to help you!
Lyria: So let's keep travelling together, okay?
Societte: You guys... Yer all so... nice.
Choose: If that's what you want...
Societte: Okay.
Societte's ears and tail droop sadly, and she turns to leave.
Lyria: Wait!
Societte: Huh?
Lyria: Is this what you really want, Societte?
Societte: ...
Lyria: I think (Captain) wants to know what you're really thinking. Isn't that right?
(Captain) quietly nods in response.
Lyria: Is this what you really want?
Societte: I-I... I want...
Societte: Sob...
Societte: I really... want y'all to gimme a hand...
Societte: I-I'd be so lonely on my own... without another soul to talk to...
Societte: I'd feel so helpless...
Vyrn: Well, you should have just said so!
Vyrn: Gotta help each other out when we can, y'know!
Societte: I-is it really okay for me to stay with you guys?
Continue 1
Vyrn: Of course!
Lyria: Yeah! You're our friend!
Societte: Gasp... I'm... your friend...
Societte: U-um... Thanks for letting me stay... I really appreciate it.
Turning red up to her ears, Societte thanks the crew as they return to the airship together.
Still blushing, Societte feels a warm bond with her stalwart friends.
