Naia's Intimacy story

The water's quite nice in the Banquet Hall today! Because I'm here!

It's not, not a joke! Don't be so uptight about a little pun...

Can't you tell it's 1st grade pure water just by looking? A spirit like me is pure!

Are you more interested in my friends than me? Ahww!

Anything I can help with while you're leading the Order? Just say the word.

Ah! That sounds fun! Should I just spray it all over their faces?

...Cleaning? You can do that on your own.

Hmm... are you serious? Then first blindfold them and bring them to the base of Elemental Mountain.

Lately someone has been secretly dumping wastewater in the river... Doesn't seem like the elves but I wonder who it could be?

The Elves? I specifically told them not to do that... they never learn. What's the sewage treatment plant for anyway?

Hmm... really? Alright. I'll believe you because you're the Master.

You think auto-purification happens just so?! We work hard to purify it!

Anything exciting happening these days? Some commotion at the banquet hall...? You know... something like that!

But don't they usually make up afterward? Like the ground hardens once the storm passes?

Well, it's understandable. Do you think we could ever get on better terms with them?

That's ridiculous! Just because every baked good has flour doesn't mean flour counts as food... does it?

Mhmm... Water knows the answer! Yes, it does!

What?! Why would you even mention something so terrible?!

Exactly. Few things are as straightforward as water flowing downward!

A little werebeast was reading a book with that title! I didn't even look inside, but I feel smarter already!

Master, when's the last time you washed?

Hmm, really? Did you not dry your hair properly, then? You need a comb... I'll help!

Well... two days isn't too bad. Wash up more frequently from now on!

Blech... You have three seconds to meet me at the bottom of the lake! I need to throw you in the wash!

They say all life depends on water! Isn't that amazing? I'm kind of a big deal!

...Want to experience being dried up into a husk?!

Maybe I could charge money... for every drop of water! I'd be rich!

Wh-what the heck was that?! You're making fun of me, aren't you? Tch...

The meal was a little odd today... I thought it was a bit too salty.

Huh? No, it wasn't that bad.

Really? I don't know much about food, being an elemental... Anyway, you're saying I just ate something delicious, right?!

Not all free things are good. Water's free, but would you drink sewage water?

The elves built a huge water slide! Apparently something gets produced when lesser water elementals play there!

Really? But the lesser water elementals love it!

I suppose they can blow off some steam when I'm not around... It does hurt a little, though.

Pew, pew! That would be so exciting! Oh... the water won't get dirty, will it? I don't want that!

Do you think there's a way to get everyone to like my water gun?

Warm water in my water gun for cold days! I'd better ask Ifrit to help!

That wouldn't be fair! Elemental Mountain's gatekeeper must prank everyone equally!

I tried swapping in some juice once, but the Sprite Queen got mad because it was sticky. I thought she'd like it...

Elementals and werebeasts aren't getting along these days. I wish we could all just play together nicely.

Right!! Wouldn't it be great if everyone were as nice as me? Huh, Master? Why that face? Want a taste of my water gun?

Ugh... I guess it has. Still, I wish everyone got along. It's more fun when we play together.

If things went the way I wanted, do you think I'd be worrying like this? Master, sometimes you seem smart but also kind of a dummy. Pew, pew!!

Silphir seems to have a lot on her mind lately. I'm worried she's been underwater for too long.

What! How is it my fault!? I'm a good friend to Silphir, you know? Hmph, how dare you! Accept the Baptism of Water!!!

Mm... I guess you're right? Phew. I'm glad I talked to you, Master! You really are the best!

Uh... huh? Did she? Now that you mention it, she did seem pretty down. I should go cheer her up.

What do you like, Master? Just tell me! I'll make anything for you!

Oh! Really? You're the first one to appreciate my work this much, Master. This actually makes me feel really motivated! I'll make tons of cool stuff for you!

What?! How can you call my works bizarre?! You're so mean!

A flower vase? A medium size should work, right? I'll make one that goes with any flowers!

*Sniff*... Master, do I play around too much? I thought I was doing just fine...

Mm... compared to her... I'm totally normal, right? Hehe. Thanks for the nice words, Master!

Pfft!! Are you saying that's all I do, fool around? But I know where to draw the line!

Right? I don't cross the line, do I? Phew... Still, I feel like I might've gone a bit too far lately. I should dial it back.

Ifrit often comes to the lake to lecture me. I can't really hear what she's saying from so far away, though.

What?! Why do you think I did something to her?! Master, you're so mean!

Nah, Ifrit doesn't always get scolded by Sylla... wait, does she?

Oh...! Could she be coming because she was bored? I thought she was chasing me for splashing water on her place!

Ugh... I've been feeling a bit out of sorts lately. Even after sleeping, I still feel tired.

Really? Hmm... then I should go ride the elves' slide. It's really fun! Want to come with me, Master?

Huh? Uh... uh... I did play with her a few days ago. Wait... did Espi give me nightmares?

What are you doing!? Don't use the lake as a trash dump!!!

Master, you know what? The Lesser Water Elementals really, really like you!

Are you still bitter about the Banquet Hall turning into a water park last time? Come on, a little flooding while doing the dishes is totally normal!

Your face is saying otherwise... Do you really mean it? Huh? Can you swear it in front of this water gun?

Hehe, busted? Master! Play with them a little longer! I've got some stuff to take care of today, so... I'll be counting on you!

Master! Can't you just close the Banquet Hall for today and play with me!?

Ugh. The Head Priestess is a bit scary... Hmm. Fine. I understand that. But play with me here instead!

A troublemaker? That's just cruel. But honestly, I don't mess around to that extent, do I? I know where to draw the line!

Ah! So that's it? You pointed out something I missed—keen observation. Not bad, Master!

Pew, pew!! Why is there so much dust here? Can't be helped. I'll clean it up! Water gun fire!!!!!

I just need to avoid hitting Master? Hmm... Then what if I pretend to miss and hit Master instead?

Really? Yay, this is fun! I'll clean everywhere!

When you open your mouth that wide, you're the perfect target!? Pew, pew!! This is fun!

A bunch of books washed down from Monatium this time! I don't fully understand them, but they're pretty good for killing time!

How rude. They're books, I tell you. Look, when you open them like this, there's writing... Huh? Did it all get erased?

Eek! How can you say something so cringey?! Take this, pew pew! Ugh, this is so awkward!

Huh? Are they? Why would she suddenly throw away books? Did she have some kind of epiphany?
