6 scenes, 52 lines
1. Scene 1
8 linesThis village... it's full of people doing the same thing.
(Now that I think about it, Benedict is a lumberjack... Not that he looks the part.) The Moonlight Forest is full of high quality trees, so it attracts the lumberjacks.
Sir. I have to compliment you on your ax!
You look like you know how to use it, too. There have been lots of disturbances lately. We can't fulfil the orders from the Royal City. I don't suppose you could help us out?
Oh... You want my help? Well, as the world's greatest lumberjack, how can I refuse?
That's the spirit! Aldo knows the way to the Moonlight Forest.
M-Me? Okay. I was planning on helping out anyway.
Perfect. I can even teach you a little about lumberjacking.
2. Scene 2
9 lines...Hmm, nothing here.
Nothing? Benedict, not that I doubt your credentials, but are you sure you're really a lumberjack?
Of course I am. A lumberjack lives by the ax. Is that not so?
Well, I guess you're not wrong.
Hmph!
This trail... There's no doubt.
It leads further into the forest. Aldo, we need to head this way.
3. Scene 3
5 lines4. Scene 4
6 linesOkay, all done. Now to take the things that we can use and go back.
Well, you definitely used your ax, but this isn't lumberjacking, it's hunting! A lumberjack cuts down trees!
......
......
...Of course. I was planning on doing that on the way back...
R-Really? I guess that makes sense...
5. Scene 5
16 linesThese will do.
I suppose. At last I get to see you at work. The great lumberjack! If you're going to cut down that tree, I should probably keep at a safe distance.
What?
......
Wh-What? Nothing happened...
...Wait! What's that... The foliage has all been neatly pruned! How did he do that with that big ax? And so quickly?!
Pretty impressive, right? Do you believe me now?
It's definitely impressive...
But look, isn't this more like gardening? You're not here to prune, you're here to cut the trees down! Cut them into portable sizes! Remember, the old man said he didn't have enough wood!
......
......
...Of course. I was just preparing the tree.
R-Really? I guess that makes sense...
Wood acquired.
6. Scene 6
8 linesOh! Are you finished?
It took a little longer than expected, but we got there in the end... We've brought as much as we could carry, the rest is piled up in the forest.
This will do nicely. Thank you. We'll take care of the rest!
Oh! There are some round slices and diced wood, but don't worry about those!
Today was a good day. Now Aldo finally believes I'm just an average lumberjack.
Y-Yeah... You could say that...
Are you tired? Lumberjacking can be tiring work. It's not something that can be done half-heartedly. Let us rest.
Haha. I'll keep that in mind.
