Sharpen the Tongue
Sierokarte asks the crew to help out at her beach house, and Tanya is asked to work as a waitress. She's nervous about that, so the crew helps her practice until she builds up her self-confidence.
Warm shafts of sunlight signal the onset of summer as (Captain) and company head toward Sierokarte's beach house at her invitation.
Tanya: ...
(Captain) walks up to Tanya, who's cheerfully staring at the sky.
Tanya: Huh? Something wrong, (Captain)?
Tanya: You want to know if I'm excited about the resort? Um... Well, you know.
Tanya: I-it's my first time here. So I guess I'm excited.
Staring at the vast sky above her, Tanya toys with thoughts of unknown experiences in unknown lands.
Tanya is a crew member
Tanya, who's better with her knives than her tongue, has finally opened up to the crew on their journey across the sky.
Tanya not in crew
The crew infiltrates the cave serving as the hideout for a group of thugs and encounters a woman wielding multiple knives.
Vyrn: Whoa! She's ready to pounce! Watch out, (Captain)! She's gotta be another thug!
Tanya: Humph. Th-thug, you say?
Tanya: I guess I have no choice...
Vyrn: ...!
Lyria: Um... (Captain), can I borrow you for a sec?
Lyria: She might not be a thug at all...
Tanya: Wait... Aren't you the thugs?
Having believed each other to be thugs, both parties realize their mistake and come to an understanding.
Tanya then apologizes for her halting speech and departs the area.
Not satisfied with this one-sided departure, the crew pursues her and proposes that she join the crew.
Tanya: I'll pass. I'll just get in your way. Y-you'll be better off far away from me.
Lyria: Don't say that! I want to travel with you, Tanya! Won't you reconsider?
Tanya: Y-you sure I won't be a burden, Lyria?
Tanya: Tee-hee... Y-you know, it's been a long time since I felt a warmth like this.
Tanya: You know what? All right... I am at your service.
Thus Tanya, who's better with her knives than her tongue, joins the crew.
Though her manner of speaking shows little improvement, she soon opens up to the crew.
Vyrn: Ahoy! (Captain)! Looks like we'll reach Auguste soon!
After arriving at Auguste, the crew is met by Sierokarte, who guides them to the resort.
Tanya: ...
Lyria: Oh, wow! This place is so beautiful! Right, Tanya?
Tanya: Y-yeah. Really beautiful.
Sierokarte: Hee-hee. I'm glad you guys like it.
Sierokarte: But I've actually prepared a little surprise to make this place even more fun.
Smiling broadly, Sierokarte hands the crew several outfits.
Tanya: Huh? What are these?
Sierokarte: My custom-ordered swimsuits. No beach vacation is complete without these. Now come. This way to the dressing room.
With their swimsuits in hand, each member of the crew goes to the dressing room to change.
After a little while, Tanya appears before the crew in her swimsuit.
Tanya: What do you think? D-does it suit me?
Sierokarte: Oh! That look's perfect for you!
Tanya: R-really? That's good. I kinda like it.
Lyria: You look beautiful, Tanya!
Tanya: ...
Vyrn: Huh? What's wrong?
Tanya: B-beautiful? I'm not really used to praise, but it feels good.
Sierokarte: Ahem... Sorry to interrupt all the excitement, but I've been wondering if you guys could do me a small favor.
Sierokarte reveals that she's short of workers for her beach house.
She asks the crew to help out and says doing so will cover the cost of their swimsuits.
Vyrn: Sheesh... This was your plan from the beginning, wasn't it?
Lyria: It's all right, Vyrn. Let's all help out!
Vyrn: Sigh... Well, we don't really have a choice now, so we might as well give it our all!
Tanya: Y-yeah. Let's do what we can.
Sierokarte: Thank you so much. Very well then. Let's split you up into roles.
Sierokarte: Let's see... Tanya, I'd like you to serve customers in the dining area if you could.
Tanya: Huh? M-me? Serving people? Does that mean I have to, you know, talk to them?
Sierokarte: Indeed. When taking orders from customers and conveying them to the cook, communication is essential.
Tanya: N-no way! Not for me. I'm a terrible talker. I'll just cause trouble!
Sierokarte: Hee-hee. It'll be fine. I'll help you out.
Tanya: Ugh... But...
Lyria: Hmm... I know! (Captain), why don't you pretend to be a customer for practice?
Sierokarte: Oh! A most excellent suggestion. Let's give it a try right away!
The group starts practicing. (Captain) sits down, and Tanya pretends to be the waitress.
Tanya: ...
Tanya: Whaddya want?
Sierokarte: Hmm... I'm afraid that won't do. You'll scare the customers, Tanya.
Sierokarte: Try to be a little more polite and personable. Okay, let's give it another go.
Tanya: Ugh... S-sorry. Um...
Tanya: May I... take your order... please?
Sierokarte: Oh! That was quite an improvement. Don't you agree, (Captain)?
Tanya: R-really?
Vyrn: You bet! You could use a bit more confidence, but it's fine to just be yourself.
Tanya: Y-yeah? Tee-hee. I'm actually feeling a little more confident already.
Choose: You definitely have potential.
Sierokarte: That's right. If you keep practicing like this, you'll be serving like a professional in no time.
Lyria: Yeah! And we'll be there to help you, Tanya!
Tanya: Thanks, guys.

Tanya: Um... S-so can we practice just a little more?
After practicing with the crew, Tanya resolves to make the most of her training.
As the opening day of the beach house approaches, she grows more certain that her new skills will serve her well.
