Forever Family
Vania and Malinda hear someone crying and come across a little girl, who explains that her dog has gone missing. The two help the girl find her pet. However, Vania's hood comes off in the scuffle and the girl's mother realizes that Vania is a vampire. Vania and Malinda hurry to leave the scene, happy to have helped the girl reunite with her family.
(Captain) and company decide to stop by a town to replenish the ship's stocks.
Upon arriving, the crew splits up to scour the town for the necessary supplies.
Vania: Ngh... It's pouring...
Malinda: Gyoo...
Holding a drink in her hand, Vania looks up at the rainy sky.
Vania: I don't like rain...
Vania: It messes up my hair, and my dress gets all wet too... This isn't fun at all.
Malinda: Gyoo... Gyoo gyoo!
Vania: Buuut it's okay, because I've got... ta-da! This yummy cup of juice to get me through the day!
Malinda: Gyoo gyoo!
Vania: Mmm! It's so sweet and delicious—just what I needed!
Vania smiles happily as she sips on the juice she bought from a stall.
Malinda: Gyoo! Gyoo!
Vania: Ahaha, you want some too, Malinda? Okay, here you go!
Malinda: Gyoooo!
Vania: Slow down! There's still plenty left for you!
Vania: H-hey! Take it easy, okay? You're going to spill it!
There is an island of vampires, a secluded home where they proudly hold on to old laws.There, the vampire princess Vania fostered a dragon named Malinda despite the others' cries of heresy.
When Malinda became ill, Vania set forth into the outside world to find a cure, and that is where she met (Captain) and the crew.
Now, Vania and Malinda continue traveling with the crew as they go on adventure after adventure.
Malinda: Glug, glug... Glug, glug... Gyoo!
Malinda: Gyoo gyoo!
Vania: You finished drinking it already? That was fast!
Vania: Oh Malinda, look at you! You've got juice all over your mouth!
Vania takes out a handkerchief from her pocket and uses it to wipe Malinda's mouth.
Malinda: Gyoooo!
Vania: Hehe, there we go!
Vania: Okay, let's see what they have over there!
Girl's Voice: Oh... Where are you... Come back... Sniff...
Through the rain, a child's voice can be heard crying faintly.
Vania cocks her head, straining to listen.
Vania: I wonder what's the matter... Let's go take a look.
Malinda: Gyoo.
They walk in the direction of the voice to find a woman comforting her daughter.
Vania: Hey, what's wrong? Are you hurt?
Malinda: Gyoooo?
Girl: Sniff... Koro? Is that you?
Girl: Y-you're not Koro... Waaaah!
Malinda: Gyoo! Gyoo gyoo, gyoooo...
Vania: Oh, did Malinda startle you?
Vania: Don't worry, there's nothing to be scared of! See, Malinda's nothing but a big, squishy pink cupcake!
Malinda: Gyoo gyoo! Gyoooo!
Malinda nods vigorously in agreement.
Girl: Waaaah!
Vania: Hmm... What should we do, Malinda?
Malinda: Gyoo...
Mother: I-I'm sorry... My daughter's quite distressed at the moment, you see...
Vania: Distressed?
Malinda: Gyoooo?
Vania: Why don't you tell me about it? Maybe I can help!
Mother: That's very kind of you, but I wouldn't want to bother someone we just met...
Vania: But Bloodkin told me that I should help others when they're in need!
Vania: Besides, I'm a lady! And ladies can't just leave a crying child alone!
Girl: Sniff... T-the thing is, my pet, Koro, ran away from home...
Girl: I've been looking everywhere for him, but... he's just nowhere to be found... Sniff...
Girl: Oh, Koro... Please come back... I promise not to lose my temper with you again...
Vania: Hm? Why were you mad at him?
Girl: Koro ripped up my favorite toy...
Girl: So I got mad and yelled at him... But then he ran away, and...
Mother: I'm sure Koro didn't mean to rip your toy. You're not angry anymore, are you, dear?
Girl: No... I just want Koro to come home...
The girl continues to cry as she calls for her pet over and over again.
Vania: Okay, then I'll help find Koro too!
Girl: R-really?
Vania: Yep! I know I'd be really lonely if Malinda weren't around. I wouldn't like that at all!
Malinda: Gyoo! Gyoooo!
Vania: Malinda says she feels the same! So leave it to us—we'll help you find Koro!
Malinda: Gyoo gyoooo!
Girl: T-thank you.
Mother: I'm sorry for the trouble. We appreciate it.
The girl and her mother express their gratitude toward Vania and Malinda for agreeing to help in their search.
After receiving a description of Koro, Vania and Malinda go into town to search for the missing pet.
Vania: Hm... No Koro in sight.
Malinda: Gyoo...
Malinda: Gyoo? Gyoo, gyoo! Gyoo!
Vania: M-Malinda! Don't pull on my sleeve like that—you'll stretch it out!
Vania: Huh? Waaait a second!
Vania looks in the direction Malinda is pulling and sees a dog not unlike the one the girl had described.
Koro: Woof!
The dog is startled by Vania's cry and starts to run away.
Vania: Hey, waaait!
Vania and Malinda scramble to chase the dog.
Vania: Malinda, he went that way!
Malinda: Gyoo, gyoo!
Koro: Woof!
Malinda catches up and blocks his path, but the dog darts to the side and manages to slip past her.
Malinda: Gyoo, gyoo...
Vania: Oooh, why does he keep running away like that! We've got to catch him no matter what!
Malinda: Gyoo!
Vania: Now's our chance, Malinda!
Malinda: Gyoo!
In a flash, the two pounce on the runaway pet.
Malinda: Gyoooo!
But Malinda stubs her toe and topples onto Vania. The two of them fall over.
Malinda: Gyoooo...
Vania: Ngh... Malinda, you're so heavy! I'm getting squished here!
Malinda struggles to jump back to her feet.
Vania: Is it just me, or have you gotten chubbier? Maybe you've been eating a bit too much fruit...
Malinda: Gyoo? Gyoo gyoo, gyoooo!
Vania: Come on, we don't have time for this! We can't let Koro get away!
Malinda: Gyoo!
Malinda: Gyoo... Gyoo... Gyoooo.
Vania: Are you thirsty, Malinda?
Malinda: Gyoo...
Vania: Hm... Oh, all right. Let's share the juice I bought earlier!
Vania: I was saving it to give to Bloodkin as a present, but I guess this is an emergency!
Malinda: Gyoo! Gyoo, gyoo!
Vania takes out a bottle. Malinda makes a bound for it and begins to gulp the juice down.
Malinda: Burp. Gyoo...
Vania: Heeey! I said share, not drink all of it!
Malinda: Gyoooo...
Malinda looks down guiltily.
Vania: Hmph! Well, I hope you're prepared for the consequences of being a little piggy!
Vania reaches out and tickles Malinda around the ears.
Malinda: Gyooooo! Gyoo, gyoo! Gyoo! Gyoo gyoo gyooooo!
Vania: Hah! I know you can't stand being tickled around your ears! You can't hide it from me, Malinda!
Malinda: Gyoo gyoo gyoooo!
Vania: Ahaha! Your ears are so soft... and they stretch!
Malinda: Gyoo gyoo!
Malinda wriggles in protest, huffing and puffing as Vania tickles her ears.
Malinda: Gyoooo... Gyoooo...
Vania: Feeling more apologetic now?
Malinda: Gyoo!
Vania: You have to share next time, or else I'll need to teach you another lesson. Got it?
Malinda: Gyoo... Gyoooo.
Malinda nods earnestly, determined never to get on Vania's bad side ever again.
Vania: All right, then let's get back to work! We've got a puppy to find!
Malinda: Gyoo!
Vania and Malinda make another round of the town and continue their search.
Meanwhile, the runaway dog finds himself out of breath and pauses to take a sip of water from the canal whose waters have risen close to street level.
Koro: Pant... Pant...
Vania: Huff, huff... It finally... stopped... I don't think I can run... any more...
Malinda: Gyoo... Gyoo...
Vania: Are you okay, Malinda?
Malinda: Gyoo...
Vania: Okay! Then let's go bring Koro home!
Malinda: Gyoo!
The pair slowly inch their way toward the runaway pup.
Koro's ears prick up, and he begins growling under his breath.
Koro: Grrrrrr!
Vania: It's all right—you don't have to be scared of us. Come on, we'll take you home!
Koro stares warily at Vania and Malinda, contemplating his next move.
Girl's Voice: Korooo!
A little girl's voice breaks the silence, followed by the pitter-patter of footsteps.
The girl flies past Vania, stretching out her arms to scoop the puppy up.
Girl: Korooo!
Koro: Woof!
However, still feeling guilty, the runaway pup shrinks back and dodges the girl's hands.
Girl: Ahh!
Mother: Watch out!
Failing to catch her pet, the little girl loses her balance and falls into the rain-swollen canal with a large splash. She flails her arms as the current begins to carry her away.
Vania: Oh no! Malinda, time to switch!
Malinda: Gyoooo!
Malinda: Groooar!
Koro: Woof!
The grown Malinda surprises Koro, who tries to scamper away.
Vania: Oh, no you don't!
Koro: Woof! Woof, woof!
Vania: Leave Koro to me. You go save that little girl, Malinda!
Malinda nods before soaring into the sky, making a swift swoop toward the rushing water.
Koro: Woof, woof! Woof!
Vania: Come on, can't you just stay still? There's nothing to be scared of! There, there!
Koro: Whine...
Vania cradles Koro and gently strokes his fur. The pup gives a small whine and begins to relax.
Vania: Oh, look!
Malinda: Groooar!
Vania looks up at the bright sky to see Malinda flying toward them, carrying the little girl on her back.
Once the girl is safely back on the ground, Vania gently hands Koro over to her.
Girl: Sniff... Oh, Koro, I'm so sorry. I'm not mad anymore, and I promise I'll take better care of you...
Girl: So please stay!
Koro: Whine...
The girl hugs her precious pet tightly in her arms.
Seeing his master's expression of relief, Koro licks the girl's face over and over again.
Girl: Wah! Hey, that tickles, Koro!
Vania: Hehe, I'm so glad you're friends again!
Girl: Yeah! Thank you so much!
Girl: You helped look for Koro, and now we're back together!
Mother: How can I even begin to thank you for finding Koro, and for saving my daughter...
Vania: Hehe, don't worry about it. Besides, I always keep my promises!
Girl: Huh? Um, I just noticed, but... what's that on your head?
Vania: Hm? My head?
Vania: Ahh! My hood came off!
Vania: Oh no, Bloodkin warned me to never take off my hood...
Mother: Wings... Are you perhaps... a vampire? One of those vicious, bloodsucking monsters...
The woman stares at Vania in shock.
Vania: Oh, um... What should we do, Malinda?
Malinda: Groooar...
Vania: I-in any case, let's get away from here!
Malinda: Groar!
Vania clambers onto Malinda's back.
Once Vania is securely on her back, Malinda spreads her wings and takes off into the sky.
Vania: Ngh... I messed up. I wonder if Bloodkin is going to be mad.
Malinda: Groar...
Vania: Well, we were just trying to help, so I'm sure it'll be fine!
Vania: I'm just glad the girl and Koro found each other again!
Malinda: Groooar!
Vania: Getting along with your family's important!
Vania: It'd be sad if you were away from your family and couldn't talk to them anymore.
Malinda: Groar, groooar!
Vania: Ahaha, but you and I are going to be together forever!
Vania: Foreeever and ever! We're sticking together no matter what!
Vania: Got that?
Malinda: Groooar!
Vania and Malinda laugh.
Both of them know that their bond is one that can overcome all boundaries.
Vania: Oh! Come to think of it... I still haven't gotten what Bloodkin told me to get!
Vania: Oh well, I'm sure Bloodkin will understand!
Malinda: Groar...
The Bestest of Friends
Vania looks around the ship for Malinda and finds her dragon friend happily gobbling up the fried rice that Yaia made. Vania decides to make fried rice for Malinda too, but is disappointed when Malinda doesn't eat as much as she had hoped. Angry, Vania storms out of the room.
One sunny day.
When Malinda fails to come back to their room at lunchtime, Vania wanders around the ship to look for her pink companion.
Vania: Malinda, where are you? It's time for lunch!
Vania: Hmm... Where could she have gone?
- What's the matter?
Choose: What's the matter?Vania: Oh, Bloodkin! Have you seen Malinda? She's not in our room...
Lyria: Malinda? I saw her at the dining hall earlier.
Vania: What! I can't believe she went without me.
Vania: Thanks, Lyria!
Vania thanks the two and rushes off to the dining hall.
Yaia: Here you go! I present... Yaia's special fried rice made just for Malinda!
Malinda: Gyoo! Gyoo, gyoooo!
Yaia: Eat up! There's plenty!
Malinda: Gyoooo!
With Yaia's consent, Malinda digs into the fried rice without a second thought.
Malinda: Gyoo! Gyoo, gyoo!
Yaia: Look at you! You don't have to eat so fast. It's all for you!
Malinda: Gyoo, gyoo gyoooo!
Vania's Voice: There you are, Malinda!
Yaia: Vania?
Vania: Geez! You weren't in our room, so I was looking everywhere for you!
Malinda: Gyoo, gyoo, gyoo!
Vania: Ngh... Malinda! Are you listening?
Malinda: Gyoo, gyoo, gyoo!
None of Vania's words seem to make it to Malinda's ears as the dragon's attention is completely fixed on the heaping plate of fried rice.
Vania: Malinda... What are you eating?
Vania: I've never seen you so focused on food!
Yaia: It's Yaia's special fried rice made just for Malinda!
Yaia: I put in lots of vegetables and meat. The kind that Malinda likes!
Yaia: Plus, I didn't use much oil or salt!
Yaia: It's not good to make people food for animals, so I made a special version!
Vania: I see... I've never thought about that.
Vania watches as Malinda continues to savor her delicious lunch.
Vania: I didn't know you liked fried rice, Malinda.
Malinda: Gyoo, gyoo, gyoo!
Yaia: When I made fried rice for (Captain) one time, Malinda had some too.
Yaia: She really liked it!
Yaia: And that's how it all started. Now every time I make fried rice, Malinda comes to have some!
Malinda: Gyoo, gyoo, gyoo!
Vania: I see! Then I'll try making fried rice for Malinda sometime too!
Malinda: Gyoo! Gyooooo!
Malinda squeals blissfully at the thought of Vania making fried rice for her.
A few days later.
Vania: Aaand Vania's special fried rice is complete!
Vania: Hehe, I hope Malinda likes it.
Vania smiles happily as she takes the plate of fried rice back to her room.
Vania: Malinda! I made you my special fried rice!
Malinda: Gyoo!
Vania: Hehe. It's all for you, so eat lots, okay?
Malinda: Gyoooo!
Vania: So? Do you like it?
Malinda: Gyoo!
Malinda nods with glee.
Vania: Hehe, there's still plenty for seconds, so eat as much as you want!
Malinda: Gyoo!
Malinda: Gyoooo...
But unlike a few days before, Malinda finds herself getting full after a while and decides that she has had enough.
Vania: Huh? You're done already?
Malinda: Gyoo!
Vania: But there's still enough for seconds...
Vania: You ate a lot more when Yaia cooked it for you, didn't you?
Malinda: Gyoo, gyoo...
Malinda shakes her head to express how full she is already.
Vania: Ngh...
Vania: You were so excited for Yaia's fried rice...
Vania: But you didn't even finish a single plate of mine...
Malinda: Gyoo?
Malinda cocks her head at Vania's sullen face.
Vania: Fine! I'm never going to make fried rice for you ever again!
Malinda: Gyoo? Gyoo gyoo gyoo!
Vania: If you want to have fried rice, why don't you ask Yaia to make it for you?
Vania: You like Yaia's fried rice a lot more than mine anyway!
Malinda: Gyoo gyoo gyoo! Gyoo gyoo!
Vania: Do whatever you want! I don't care anymore!
Vania storms out of the room without another glance at Malinda.
Malinda: Gyoo...
The door slams shut. Malinda's gaze bounces back and forth between the door and the fried rice Vania made for her.
The dragon huddles dejectedly on the floor, unsure of what to make of the situation.
The Bestest of Friends: Scene 2
A few days later, Yaia and Vyrn hear about the fight and try to console the dejected Malinda. Meanwhile, Vania asks (Captain) for advice and decides to go and find Malinda to apologize.
Several days pass.
Malinda sits in the corner of the dining hall with a doleful expression on her face.
Malinda: Gyoo...
Yaia: What's the matter, Malinda? You don't like the food today?
Numerous scrumptious dishes are lined up on the table.
But none of them seem to tempt Malinda, who continues to sit listlessly at the table.
Malinda: Gyoooo...
Yaia: I wonder what's the matter with Malinda...
Vyrn: Huh? What's with the gloomy face, Yaia?
Yaia: Oh, Vyrn! Malinda isn't eating anything I make...
Yaia: Do you think she got sick of my cooking? Or maybe she's not feeling well...
Vyrn: She's not eatin', huh?
Curious, Vyrn flies up to Malinda.
Vyrn: Hey, what's the matter, Malinda?
Malinda: Gyoo gyoo... Gyoo gyoo gyoo...
Malinda: Gyoo, gyoo gyoo gyoo.
Vyrn: Vania's not talking to you? Did you guys have a fight or somethin'?
Malinda: Gyoo...
With a sad expression on her face, Malinda proceeds to tell Vyrn about what happened a few days ago.
Vyrn: Sounds like she's jealous, if you ask me. Guess Vania's still just a kid inside, huh?
Vyrn puts on an exasperated expression.
Yaia: Hmm... So you had a fight with Vania, huh?
Yaia: Still, Malinda, you're going to have to make up sooner or later!
Yaia: You'll get lonely if you don't talk to your family.
Malinda: Gyoo...
Yaia: Oh, don't look so down! It'll be okay!
Yaia: (Captain) said that only really good friends have fights!
Yaia: Anyway, Vania really loves you, you know!
Yaia: And I know that you love her a lot too. Don't you?
Malinda: Gyoo!
Yaia: You love each other so much, I'm sure you'll be friends again in no time!
Yaia: Trust me, okay?
Malinda: Gyoo...
With Yaia's help, the tightness in Malinda's chest loosens. She takes a bite from the plate of food in front of her.
Vania: ...
Vania sits on the deck of the airship by herself, lost in thought as she stares up at the sky.
A long sigh escapes from her.
Vania: Sigh... Oh, what should I do? That was a terrible thing I did to Malinda.
Vania: Maybe I could apologize and make up with her...
Vania: But what if we don't make up? No more long chats... or hugs... forever.
Vania: Ngh... I don't want that to happen!
Lyria: Is that you, Vania?
Vania: Oh, Bloodkin. Lyria.
Lyria: Are you by yourself today? Where's Malinda?
Vania: Sniff... Oh, Bloodkin! Lyria!
Lyria: Huh? W-what's wrong, Vania?
Vania: I did something terrible to Malinda...
On the verge of tears, Vania explains to (Captain) and Lyria what happened several days ago.
Vania: I thought I knew Malinda best... I was sure of it.
Vania: That's why I ended up getting so annoyed...
Vania: What do you think I should do to make up with Malinda, Bloodkin?
- An apology might be a good start.
- You should go talk to her.
Choose: An apology might be a good start.Vania: Do you think she'll forgive me if I tell her I'm sorry?
Lyria: I'm sure she will. Because I know Malinda loves you a lot!
(Captain) nods in agreement.
Vania: Okay...
Vania: I'm going to go apologize to Malinda!
Choose: You should go talk to her.Lyria: Definitely. I'm sure Malinda will understand if you tell her how you feel.
Lyria: Tell her how much you love her...
Lyria: And tell her that's why you said all those things... because you really love her!
(Captain) nods in agreement.
Vania: Okay... I'm going to go talk to Malinda.
Vania: I'll tell her I'm sorry I got mad at her!
Continue 1Vania: It's lonely without Malinda. I want her back!
And with that, Vania runs off to find her dearest companion.
(Captain) and Lyria exchange glances before sending their vampire friend off with a smile.
The Bestest of Friends: Scene 3
The crew makes a landing on an island for a monster extermination job. Vania continues to worry about when she should apologize to Malinda when a monster suddenly appears from behind her. Malinda arrives just in time to save Vania from the monster.
A few more days pass.
The crew stops at an island after accepting a request to exterminate a monster there.
But with no monster immediately in sight, the crew decides to split up to search for it.
Lyria: Did you manage to make up with Malinda the other day, Vania?
Vania: Hngh...
Vania puts on a glum expression.
Lyria: O-oh... Not yet?
Vania: Nope...
Vania: I was going to tell her I was sorry!
Vania: But then she was always sleeping or with someone else... so I haven't had the chance to tell her yet.
Vania: And now it's even harder to go up and talk to her...
Vyrn: Oh... I guess apologies can get awkward when you put 'em off, huh?
Vania: Yeah...
Lyria: But if you don't say you're sorry, you won't be able to make up with Malinda!
Vania: Ngh...
Vania: Bloodkin, can you come with me to talk to Malinda?
Vania: I don't think I can do it by myself...
Vania: Please?
Vania looks pleadingly at (Captain).
(Captain) smiles reassuringly and agrees to accompany her.
Vania: Thanks, Bloodkin!
Vyrn: Why don't you go as soon as this job wraps up?
Vyrn: The sooner the better, right?
Vania: Yeah! I can't wait to talk to Malinda again!
Vania: I'm going to give her looots of hugs after we make up!
Vania: And then, I'll make all her favorite foods!
Lyria: Ahaha. You really love Malinda, don't you, Vania?
Vania: Yep! Malinda's my best friend and my family!
Vania: That's why I love her!
Vyrn: Okay, then let's hurry up and get that monster outta the way so we can go find Malinda after!
Lyria: Yeah!
Vania: Okay! Let's do it!
Vania breaks into a run, eager to find the monster.
Vyrn: Hey, slow down! You don't wanna end up being a monster's lunch before you get to apologize!
Vania: Don't worry! I'm really strong!
Vyrn: Whew... Geez, where does Vania get all this energy from?
Lyria: Ahaha. That's Vania for you!
(Captain) chuckles and nods.
Vania: Come on, what are you guys doing back there? Hurry up!
Monster: Groooar!
Suddenly, a large shadow looms over Vania. A monster appears from behind and pounces at her.
Vania: Huh?
Lyria: Vania!
Malinda: Groooooar!
Vania: Malinda!
Malinda appears just in the nick of time and charges at the monster, flinging it away.
Malinda: Groooar?
Vania: Malinda... Th-thanks.
Malinda: Groar...
Vania: ...
Malinda: ...
Vania: Um, Malinda, I...
Monster: Groooar!
Vyrn: Save the talk for later! We gotta knock out this guy first!
Vania: O-okay!
Malinda: Groar!
The Bestest of Friends: Scene 4
Vania apologizes to Malinda, and the two of them make up. Back at the ship, Yaia makes more fried rice and agrees to teach Vania how to make it for Malinda next time. Having overcome their first fight, the two friends now share a bond that is stronger than ever.
(Captain) and the crew manage to defeat the attacking monster.
After confirming that the monster was the one they were meant to exterminate, they decide to take a rest to collect themselves.
Vania: Malinda...
Malinda: Gyoo...
Having reverted back to her smaller form, Malinda stands quietly in front of Vania.
A tense silence stretches between them, neither knowing what to say.
Lyria: Vania...
Vyrn: You've got somethin' to say to Malinda, don'tcha?
Vania: Y-yeah...
Vania takes a deep breath and turns to look Malinda in the eye.
Vania: U-um, Malinda... I'm...
Vania: I'm really sorry!
Vania: You see, I always thought I knew you best.
Vania: Because you're my best friend and family.
Vania: That's why, when I saw you eating the fried rice that Yaia made, I felt jealous...
Vania: You seemed so much happier eating Yaia's cooking than mine...
Vania: I just thought that... maybe I wasn't your best friend after all.
Vania: And that made me really sad...
Vania: So I ended up saying some terrible things to you.
Vania: I'm sorry, Malinda. Will you forgive me?
Malinda: Gyoo!
Malinda gives a cry of joy and jumps into Vania's arms, nuzzling her precious friend.
Vania: You'll... forgive me?
Vania: Oh, thank you, Malinda!
Vania breaks into a genuine smile and hugs Malinda as tightly as she can.
Vania: Ngh... Let me give you a biiig hug!
Malinda: Gyoooo, gyoo gyoo gyoo! Gyoooo!
Vania: It's been toooo long!
Vania: It was so lonely without you there beside me!
Malinda: Gyoo gyoo!
Vania: But we're going to be together forever, aren't we?
Vania: I promise I won't ever, ever leave you again!
Malinda: Gyoooo! Gyoo gyoo!
Vyrn: Whew, glad that wild ride's over.
Lyria: Yeah!
Just then, a growl escapes from Malinda's stomach.
Malinda: Gyoooo...
Vania: Are you hungry, Malinda?
Malinda: Gyoo.
Vania: Okay, then I'll make some special friendship fried rice for you when we get back to the ship!
Malinda: Gyoooo!
With their mission complete, the crew return to the Grandcypher.
Yaia: Welcome back, (Captain)!
Malinda: Gyoo? Gyoo... Gyoo gyoo!
Malinda bounds toward Yaia the moment she sees her.
Vania: Malinda?
Yaia: Ahaha! Can't hide anything from you, can I?
Yaia: Vania. Malinda.
Yaia: Are you back to being friends?
Vania: Yep, the bestest of friends! Right, Malinda?
Malinda: Gyoo!
Vania and Malinda hug each other happily.
Yaia: That's good!
Yaia: Hehe. Then I have a special present for the both of you!
Yaia: Wait right here!
Yaia comes back from the kitchen carrying a gigantic plate of fried rice.
Yaia: Here's your present!
Yaia: It's Yaia's super special fried rice!
Malinda: Gyoooo!
Malinda's eyes light up at the sight of the heaping plate of rice.
Yaia: I made it so both of you can enjoy it together!
Vania: Huh? Me too?
Yaia: Yep! It's to celebrate you and Malinda being friends again!
Yaia: So I did my best to make something that both of you can eat together!
Yaia: Have as much as you want, okay?
Malinda: Gyoo gyoooo!
Vania: Oh, thank you so much!
Touched by Yaia's act of kindness, Vania and Malinda each take a bite of the fried rice.
Vania: Mmm! This is delicious! It's totally different from the fried rice I make!
Yaia: Hehe. That's because fried rice is my specialty!
Vania: Hmm... I think I can see why Malinda gets so excited about your cooking...
Yaia: What's the matter, Vania?

Malinda: Gyoo gyoo!
Lyria: Ahaha... It seems Malinda's a little busy eating at the moment.
Vania: Oh, Malinda!
