15 scenes, 188 lines
1. Part 1
3 linesWas this ... fowlbeast nest here before?
It's specially prepared for "Cant Reador"...
Wait... Where's the rice bowl? It should be right here.
2. Part 2
3 linesThese feathers seem ... too glossy for an ordinary fowlbeast.
Yeah, those are "Cant Reador's" feathers.
They seem quite neat. Doesn't look like "Cant Reador" ran into any trouble. Probably just ran off on its own...
3. Part 3
11 linesCluck cluck...
"With tranquil eyes I look around, yet my heart is lost in mist..."
Snap out of it! You're a sable-chested fowlbeast! Your tail's bigger than your wings! What's there to be lost about?
Oh, there you are!
Cluck cluck cluck cluck...
No, not me. It's "Cant Reador"! Ever since it snuck into our Lady's study a few years ago, it's been like this.
Cluck cluck cluck!
Cluck cluck, cluck cluck.
Why are you suddenly being so poetic?
Come on, let's head back. "Speed Dasher" is waiting for your eggs to make "Spoon Swimmer"!
Hey! Get back here!
4. Part 4
21 linesI... Dear patron, w-why are you looking at me like that too...?
Can I go back to the hall now? I've got guests waiting...
"Loud Speaker", you're not a good liar... Don't make this harder on yourself.
Dear patron... I-I don't want to lie to you either... But... But I just can't...
Where are you looking...? That's the direction of the Cleansing Pool...
Please, dear patron, let's go see what's there.
"Loud Speaker", thank you.
Hey, "Loud Speaker"! Have you seen "Cant Reador"?
N-no... I just went to the back hills to look for other ingredients. I swear I didn't see "Cant Reador"!
I was just asking. Why are you getting so jumpy?
...Is that "Cant Reador's" bowl?
Hmm ... that's definitely "Cant Reador's" bowl!
Good catch, dear patron. I didn't even notice "Loud Speaker" had something in her hand.
"Loud Speaker", what's going on here?
I ... I thought ... if I took "Cant Reador's" bowl and some food, maybe I could lure it back if I ran into it...
You just dropped some feathers... Are they "Cant Reador's"?
Let me see... Yes! These are "Cant Reador's"!
"Loud Speaker", why do you have "Cant Reador's" feathers on you? Did you snatch them?
I-I might've picked them up while feeding it... I-I don't know...
Look toward "Loud Speaker's" hand
Look toward "Loud Speaker's" feet
5. Part 5
9 linesCluck cluck cluck cluck!
Cluck cluck cluck cluck.
What's it saying?
"The wind stirs mist and sweeps the leaves, autumn floats beneath the sun's last eaves."
It says the view here is too beautiful to leave. Unless...
Unless what?
Unless someone recites poetry for it to cheer it up. Our Lady hasn't played this little game with it for quite some time...
Oh, for crying out loud! Don't make this hard on us!
Cluck cluck...
6. Part 6
31 linesCluck cluck, cluck cluck cluck.
"Job Rusher"... "Witty" dumped out all the seasonings from "Spoon Swimmer"! That little wretch even licked the floor clean!
Oh my, why is everything going wrong?! Wait ... didn't "Witty" go out with our Lady?
Fineee. I'll recite something. A feathered hero fair and bold, grant me an egg and save my soul!
Cluck cluck cluck cluck!
"Autumn Hues"? You're picking a theme now? My goodness! I just don't have the heart or the talent to praise this view right now...
..."Job Rusher", let me give it a shot.
"Before frost touches the emerald spire, it first dons a mantle of crimson fire."
Cluckkkk!
"BRAAAVO!", she said! Dear patron, "Cant Reador" loves it! I had no idea you were so skilled in Yanese poetry!
Actually, it's a line Si recited when she first brought me into this painting. She said it was what inspired her to paint the mountain this way.
Ah, it's our Lady's verse. No wonder "Cant Reador" loved it so much.
Cluck cluck cluck cluck!
"Valor Beyond the Pass"? How does a fowlbeast end up liking poems of heroes and war?
......
"The eternal night shall be purged by torch, just as Yumen weathered the storms."
That came from our Lady too?
Yeah, when we were at Yinglung Pass.
Oh... you actually remember everything our Lady said...
The past isn't that easy to recall. So I try to remember everything happening now.
Dear patron, you have a good heart. No wonder our Lady cares so much about you.
Cluckkkk!
"I feel great!" FINALLY! Yay you cheeky wittle monstah, shall we go back?
How am I supposed to know...
Never mind. You take "Cant Reador" back. I'll take our dear patron to Xiaohe Manor...
Tons of rare ingredients can be found there, and we'll be sure to find what we need. We can make it in time!
Sorry to ask ... but could you come with me again?
Cluck cluck cluck cluck!
What'd you say? It was our Lady who...
"Before frost touches the emerald spire, it first dons a mantle of crimson fire."
"The eternal night shall be purged by torch, just as Yumen weathered the storms."
7. Part 7
5 linesTwo and a half grams of Flufftail Herb, five Amberstalks... Right, all set.
I'm a little tired, so I'll rest here for a bit. Please go on ahead, don't keep "Speed Dasher" waiting.
Dear patron, shall we?
"Cant Reador" should've laid the egg by now. Let's go! We'll make it just in time!
Okay, then...
8. Part 8
23 linesSi, fancy running into you here.
...Ahem.
Hmph. Not fancy at all.
The path that led up here ... was it you who cut it off?
Yeah.
Was it you who asked "Witty" to ruin the seasonings?
Yes, I did.
What about "Cant Reador"?
I lured it out of Yuanyuan Manor.
So you knew about the surprise, and that they were making "Spoon Swimmer" for you...
......
Back when you first stayed at the inn, you said it would be a shame for such a place to be so quiet...
And since you wanted the business to run better, I let you take over to set things right.
And you really did get into everything ... even the menu.
You found "Cant Reador", fed it until its feathers shined, used its egg to make "Spoon Swimmer", and it became the inn's signature dish.
So, you don't like this dish anymore?
I... I don't want to talk about it!
Why don't we head back to the inn first? It's the anniversary — there are probably many guests already. Everyone's expecting you.
...Fine.
So I was the one who came up with that dish...
I'm sorry... I don't remember any of that...
Then we won't talk about it for now.
Then we can talk about it later.
9. Part 9
6 linesDear patron, the herbs "Job Rusher" brought back are not quite enough. Do you have any on hand?
This is wonderful! With this much, we're set for the whole event!
Good news! "Cant Reador" says those poems really fired it up! It'll lay however many eggs we want!
Dear patron, all key ingredients for "Spoon Swimmer" are ready. Let's add this dish to the menu now.
Everyone's really looking forward to it... Let's make this anniversary one to remember.
Dear patron, you're finally back... Oh, milady? You two came together?
10. Part 10
31 linesEveryone's waiting for you to join the meal.
I'm sorry, Si.
Hmm, for what?
I know "Spoon Swimmer" means a lot to you. But I forgot where it came from. I forgot about our past...
It's not like I only learned yesterday that you've lost your memory...
If I got upset over something this small, I'd have no time for anything else.
Actually ... I was thinking about the past.
I was so happy the day you made "Spoon Swimmer". I still remember every word you said to me.
You said you wanted a dish even better than "Spoon Swimmer" on the menu someday...
You said you wanted Yuanyuan Manor to have more guests, from the mountains and beyond...
That way, even if you couldn't always stay here ... even if you were gone for a long time ... Yuanyuan Manor could still...
Yeah. But for the ten years you were asleep, I barely let anyone in ... except a few who came for work.
I'd go to HAS every now and then to keep myself busy, but...
Today, when I saw "Cant Reador" and "Spoon Swimmer"... I realized...
I blamed you for forgetting me. But I didn't keep my promises to you either...
I don't think Yuanyuan Manor is any less than those inns in Wuling.
You really think so?
Look at "Job Rusher", "Loud Speaker", "Speed Dasher", and "Witty" ... this is home to all of them now.
And the guests today? They came because they wanted to. Not just Ink Spirits putting on a show.
Of course not! I only painted them, but I never controlled them!
Exactly. You've done great already.
Well... I guess you're right.
Perhaps I just wanted Yuanyuan Manor to stay lively so that...
...you wouldn't feel lonely.
......
Come on, let's head back. Everyone's waiting for us to eat.
...Still be lively?
Si, don't blame yourself.
Si, maybe, you've misunderstood too...
11. Part 11
20 linesChef, think of something, quick!
I can't cook without ingredients. What do you want me to do? Squat and lay an egg?
"A specific kind of egg"? Don't tell me "Cant Reador" is...?
It always returns to the yard this time of year, but not today. No one knows where it is, I'm going crazy!
I'll help you look for it...
It's fine. I'm gonna be eating this meal too, right?
If we can't pull off "Spoon Swimmer", then this whole anniversary surprise goes to waste!
Stop freaking out here. Go find "Cant Reador".
On it... Huh, patron?
"Job Rusher", I could hear you from a mile away. What's going on?
"Cant Reador" vanished... "Spoon Swimmer" too...
......
You're confusing our dear patron... Let me do the talking.
Today's the anniversary of Yuanyuan Manor opening. Plus, we still owe you a proper welcome feast...
We wanted to put a dish our Lady used to love on the menu.
I see. "Spoon Swimmer", right? ...No wonder I've never seen that on the menu.
That dish needs special seasonings and a specific kind of egg. It's a real pain to make...
Mm-hm. "Cant Reador" is a fowlbeast raised here at the Inn. Its eggs are extraordinary. They naturally seep oil on their own.
Oh, dear patron, we couldn't ask you to do that.
Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's go!
12. Part 12
10 linesPhew, it's finally over...
Good thing we had plenty of ingredients... We've added extra tables before, but this year was something else.
Well, with "Spoon Swimmer" on the menu ... I couldn't help but have a few extra bites myself... Uh, never mind!
Alright, the anniversary celebration is officially a success!
No, no, wait! This year's special. We're missing one more thing!
Now that our dear patron is back, let's take a photo together as one big family. Now's the perfect time!
One big family...
......
Alright, alright. Let's do this quick. And if the photo turns out bad, you know what happens.
We'll be chained to a floating rock. But our dear patron's gonna take this photo, it'll turn out great!
13. Part 13
10 linesHehe, great shot! Haven't had this much fun in ages.
Milady, look... Hmm? Where'd she go?
Probably went out to get some air again.
Darn it, where is our Lady...? I've prepared a whole feast. Go get her so I can serve all the dishes...
I've got tables to set, chopsticks to lay out, and ... dishes to carry! Let "Loud Speaker" go...!
What's with you two?
It's obvious our Lady has something ... weighing on her today...
Dear patron, you came back with her today. Did she say anything?
...I'll go find her.
I-I don't have the nerve... Maybe "Speed Dasher" should go... No, that's not right...
14. Part 14
2 linesDear patron, I know a way to get across!
Let's first paint a bridge leading to "Cant Reador". Once the water level rises, we can simply hop onto the bridge .
15. Part 15
3 linesLet's go right now and get done with it quickly.
Sure thing.
Hold on. I need to take care of something else.
