Moke has taken a liking to Clarte recently. But Rosetta says that even the seemingly innocent Moke has a dark side...
5 scenes, 123 lines
1. Scene 1
19 linesWell, well... Aren't you just a sweety, Moke.
Am I interrupting something? Or are you two just showing off?
You and Moke are like two peas in a pod.
Haha, you think so? Moke's been like this since the events at the Winged People's Village.
As a member of the clergy, it is my duty to show love and affection to all living creatures♪
Blup?
Bli-bleep!
Aww... Apparently Moke doesn't like me. Heehee♪
I do not think it's that simple. Moke is just deciding how close is appropriate with you.
That's sweet of you to say that, and I hope you're right.
I know I'm right about this. I know it's your job to reveal people's deepest truths, Rosetta. However, the complex rules governing humans don't apply to the animal world. Why not relax and just have fun with it?
I've never really taken the time to think about it that way.
The clergy must love and be loved by even the smallest of creatures♪
On the other hand, Clarte, you're making one mistake. Animals also have hidden truths and motivations.
Is that so? Somehow I don't think Moke acts on much more than instinct.
Heehee... I can understand why you'd get that impression. Then I'll just have to prove it by finding out what goes on behind Moke's cute face♪
Follow me. Based on my in-depth analysis of Moke's behavior, it hasn't gone far.
An in-depth analysis?
Hmm... I see. Now I know why Moke's been avoiding you.
2. Scene 2
29 linesMy goodness! Look at how fluffy it is! And it's fur is so white!
But that face though... It's kinda strange.
Bleeeep!
What is it? Do you wanna play?
Bli-bleep!
Sorry, but I'm playing with that blue animal today. Maybe next time!
Blup!
Oh... That was hard to watch...
Blip! Bleep!
There, there. Don't be sad. I'll always be here for you.
Bliiip-blep blipple...
I think I've figured you out, Clarte. You are someone who likes looking after people. You'd make quite the inquisitor♪
Haha, I hope that's a compliment. But I'm undeserving of your praise.
Getting back to the topic at hand. Moke isn't as two-faced as you seem to believe.
Clarte? Rosetta?
Never expected to see you two spending time together. What's going on?
Hello, Thillelille. We were actually talking about Moke.
Moke! There you are! Where have you been? Come along now!
Blepple!
What's the matter, Moke?
Moke's been real friendly with Clarte these days. Heehee... Perhaps Moke thinks Clarte is its owner rather than you, Thillelille♪
WHAT?!
Hmph! That doesn't bother me at all! It's not like I, Thillelille, think of Moke as my pet.
If you like Clarte better, then fine! He's your owner now!
Bli-bleep?
Bleeep!
Uh oh, Moke's leaving the settlement. We'd better go get it before it gets into trouble!
I'm right behind you♪
Moke...
3. Scene 3
45 linesBleep...
Gather around all! We've got some nice, smart kitties today!
Awwww how cute! It's impossible to pick just one!
Bliiip-blep blipple!
Huh? What are you? You're no cat.
Sorry there, but I'm looking for a cute kitty! I'm sure someone else wants you.
Bli-bleep...
So my first voluneer work is to present myself to the king.
Come on, Thillelille, if she can do it, so can you! As the older girl, there shouldn't be a problem.
......
Ugh! I can't do it! I'm too nervous!
Bleep?
Blepple-blip?
Heehee! You even make silly noises. Geez. Stop staring at me like that!
Bliiip-blep blipple!
Pff... Hahahah!
Phew... You know what? These giggles are helping me relax.
Thanks, you mysterious, white furball!
Blip! Bleep!
Yes? What is it?
Blup blipple-blep!
Hey! Are you following me?
What can I say... It's so hard having so much charm and charisma.
Oh well...
Feel free to follow Thillelille if that's what you wish. Your furry face looks like its mocking me you...MOKE! And that's what I'll call you.
Though I might reconsider if you grow up to become a being worthy of accompanying the savior.
Hmph! That doesn't bother me at all! It's not like I, Thillelille, think of Moke as my pet.
If you like Clarte better, then fine! He's your owner now!
Bleep...
Bleep! Blipple-blep! Bliiiiiip!
......
Blepple-blip...
Blep?!
Though I might reconsider if you grow up to become a being worthy of accompanying the savior.
Blep.
Blepple!
Oh, Moke. Don't you ever learn?
However, standing up to that monster was rather brave.
Bli-bleep!
Dear, dear... It looks like this monster's out for blood.
Well, it can't be helped. Let's take care of this nuisance♪
4. Scene 4
5 linesThat takes care of that. How's Moke?
Not a scratch.
Bliiip-blep blipple!
Hahah... Stop that. You're tickling me.
Let's take you back to your owner. I'm sure she's worried sick about you.
5. Scene 5
25 linesNow where the heck have you been?!
Not like I was worried about you or anything.
...Well, maybe just a teeny-tiny bit.
Bleep!
...... To tell the truth, Thillelille said some... bad things.
And Clarte. Rosetta. Thank you for bringing Moke back to me. Without your help, I might've spent the rest of my life regretting my stubbornness.
And because of that, just this one time, I'll forgive your indiscretion with Clarte!
Bli-bleep?!
Bliiip-blep blipple!
Hey! You're getting fur all over my stockings, Moke! But I'll let you off the hook this time!
Bleep!
All right, that's enough of that. Come along for real, Moke!
The world's waiting for the reincarnation of the Sword-wielding Savior to save the day!
There they go...
Now I understand what you meant about Moke having another side to it.
Oh... You do? I thought we had moved on from that topic.
Part of it wants to be a fluffy star that everybody loves... But another part wants to be loved only by Thillelille.
I admit, I'm kind of jealous. What do you think? Are my thoughts correct?
Hmm... I wonder.
What? Are not going to tell me? I thought you were going to find out who Moke is deep down.
Heehee... You've already figured it out yourself, right? Still, I can tell you one thing...
Not all hidden sides are bad. People and animals are complicated in unique ways. That's what makes our connections so interesting.
I see... Sounds just like what an inquisitor would say. You must take pride in what you do.
Is that right? Well anyway, I'm just happy that I now know Thillelille's weakness♪
Haha... You really know how to hide who you really are, Rosetta.
