Happiness Always Comes After the Rain

Inside Sprite Forest

You

Ugh! It was perfectly clear out without a cloud in the sky. How does it suddenly start pouring like this?!

I'd better go inside the Order!

Oh... from the back, they look like... Ui and Croakie?

Why does this feel like déjà vu...?

Ui

.........

You

Hey, Ui. Are you here to take Croakie for a walk around the pond in the rain?

Ui

Hello, Master!

I was just thinking how nice it would be to see you! Perfect timing!

I am so happy!☆

You

Y-You wanted to see me?

Hehe... Oh, you're making me blush.

Ui

Heehee! Looks like seeing me made you super happy too, didn't it?!

Seeing how happy you are makes me even happier!☆

But... something's strange.

You

Oh? What's strange?

Ui

I don't know why this little Ui doesn't look happy when she sees me.

You

Little Ui...?

Ui gazes at something with a puzzled look on her face. When I follow her gaze, I start to see something come into view. It looks like it might be Ui's Yearning.

You

Oh, that must be Ui's Yearning...?!

Her Yearning looks just like her... but she's not smiling...

I've never seen Ui without a smile until now. I wonder if something happened to her...

Ui

You can see my little Ui, too, right?

You

Oh, um, yeah, I can. I think I see her too.

Ui

Then I have a question for you, Master.

At first, I followed your advice and tried not to use my power on her...

But no matter how hard I tried, she would only look sad.

So as a last resort, I tried using my power, but it did nothing. She still looked unhappy.

I wonder what in the world is making her sad...

What does it even mean to be unable to be happy... to be sad?

You

Hmm... well, you see...

Does Ui think that she looks sad...? To me, she just looks pretty nonchalant...

How should I explain this...?

Ui stares at me expectantly, but I'm at a loss because I've got nothing.

As the moments stretch on, the raindrops striking my skin feel sharper than usual.

You

Hmm... raindrops, huh?

Ui, sadness is an emotion, just like happiness. That's all.

You know how rainy days and clear days are both types of weather, right?

So... just like how the sun always comes out after the rain passes...

After the emotion called sadness passes, happiness inevitably follows.

Of course, just as we never know exactly when the sun will rise, we can't know when happiness will come either.

Ui

Hmm...

You

Was that too complicated...?

Hmm, so basically, I'm trying to say that even though Little Ui looks sad right now, she can be happy too someday!

Ui

Okay! I think I'm kind of starting to understand what you mean, Master!

All I can do for Little Ui is wish for the rain to stop.

And after the rain ends, both of us just have to wait patiently for the sun to rise, right?

You

Exactly!

Ui

I still don't really understand sadness...

I'll watch over Little Ui until the sun rises in her world!

Because I want everyone to be happy!☆

Thank you for always helping me, Master!

You

No problem. I will also join you in wishing for Little Ui's happiness!
