To Dream Is to Wish

Monatium Convenience Store

xXionx

Welcome to Monatium 25... Oh, Master?

Wh-Why have you come all this way?! Did something happen to my sister?!

I'll go right now! I-I'll call my manager. I should be able to leave early!

You

Whoa, there. Calm down. I just happened to be in the area after visiting Monatium, so I came in for a drink.

xXionx

Oh, I see...

You

Um... That thing floating next to her... That's a Yearning!

*Sigh* Is something wrong?

I know you're always worried about your sister, but you seem extra worried today.

Festa

Excuse me? When do those onigiri blocks get thrown out?

You

Hey, Festa! Why would you ask something like that here?! This isn't your store!

Festa

Obviously, it's because I'm hungry! Why don't you buy something for me, Master?

You

Ugh... Get out! And don't bother the part-timer!

.........

xXionx

Th-Thanks, Master.

You

Have you been eating regularly and getting enough sleep? You look tired.

xXionx

U-Um, I guess it's because I'm working more. It has been pretty hectic.

...Not to mention, I keep seeing things, too.

You

She thinks she's seeing things...

xXionx

It's like I keep seeing my sister playing, chatting, and laughing with me...

It's been making me a little uneasy.

You

Huh? Why would that make you uneasy?

xXionx

Because... Does it mean I'm not satisfied with the sister I have now?

It makes me wonder if I'm failing her as a sister, because shouldn't I be happy to see her, no matter what she's like?

You

Oh, w-well—

xXionx

Hey, you! You can't shoot lasers at the mirror!

Lethe

Laser reflection! Hehehe!

You

I just can't seem to find a moment to get serious here... Well, that's Elias for you...

I might as well get something to drink first.

*Beep, beep*

xXionx

Oh, this one's buy-one-get-one-free. I'll apply the discount for you, Master!

You

Keep one of them for yourself.

xXionx

Huh? Ah, okay... Th-Thanks!

My sister... she's still asleep, but I'm much happier now than when I wasn't able to see her, so why do I keep seeing these images?

You

Listen, Xion...

xXionx

U-Uh, yeah? Is there something wrong with your drink?

You

Okay, drop the part-timer persona and listen to me.

The way I see it, imagining ED laughing and playing like that isn't a bad thing.

xXionx

Huh? Why do you say that?

You

Before you guys were separated, you must have shared happy moments like that with her, right?

xXionx

Yeah...

You

Is it wrong to wish for those days to return?

If so, then is it wrong for me, someone who's come from outside Elias, to feel a little homesick?

xXionx

No, not really...

You

It's the same thing. The fact that you're imagining happiness just means you want to be happier.

Xion, ED smiling for you is what makes you happy.

xXionx

Yeah...

I really like ED as she is now... I do...

*Sob* But I wish she would smile for me. That she would call me her big sis.

I wish she would act childish around me! Waaaaaaaaaah!

Rohne

H-Huh?! How could you make Xion cry while she's working, Master?!

A-As an upstanding c-citizen of Monatium, I should report this! B-But if they find out I came to the convenience store, I'll get in trouble... Urgh...

You

I-I didn't make her cry! Go ahead and report me! You won't get away unscathed either!

Oh, look! It looks like some elf with an unusually large cannon is headed this way!

Rohne

Oh no, Chief Canna?! Already?! I need to get out of here!

*Jangle*

You

Oh, no... Looks like I chased all the customers away. Well, I suppose it's better than getting reported.

Here, wipe your nose.

xXionx

*Sniffle, sniffle... Hooonk*

You

Xion. I'll always be there for you.

xXionx

*Hooonk* Huh?

You

I'll help you become stronger... So that you can protect ED.

You watch over her until the day she smiles brightly for you!

xXionx

*Sob* Waaah! Why did you have to say something so touching all of a sudden?!

You

D-Did it backfire?!

xXionx

*Sniff* I think I get what you mean, though.

You're saying that ED would want me to work harder, be healthy, and stay strong... Something like that, right?

You

Yeah, basically.

I know you're always trying your best, so...

I'll help, too. I'm the Master, after all. And you're one of my Apostles.

Xion's tear-streaked face made me all warm and fuzzy inside...

They all do their best, each and every one of them. Even though they all do different things and like different things...

I mean, they all have a few screws loose, and they give me grief all the time...

But since I became Master of these rascals, I guess I'll also try a little harder, too.
