Prologue

Characters Present

Susannah

Rita

Start

✦

The afternoon sun gilded a street-corner cafe. The passing spring breeze blended the gold of light into the aroma of coffee.

🔇 N/A

✦

The potted sunflower blooming on the table slowly turned its face to greedily enjoy the warm sun.

🔇 N/A

✦

In this sun the adorable cats lay. They either splayed their flower-like paws and stretched contentedly on the windowsill, or exposed their round bellies and purred comfortably on the coffee table.

🔇 N/A

✦

Amid the cats, Susannah saw that airy figure—and she was dancing gracefully.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

(Wow! Rita-sama dances so beautifully! Like the fragrant wind blowing in a sea of flowers, her flower-like hem spins out, and her lively steps correspond with the chirping of birds.)

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

(Her beauty made countless travelers on their way and even solitary cats stop in their tracks.)

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

(Huh? These cats all became quiet as Rita-sama danced! Some even snuggle her palm between her movements.)

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

(I-i-is this a magic dance that can soothe cats? I’ve practiced dancing for many years, but I’ve never seen such a magical sight!)

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

(If I learn this dance, will I be able to pet cats? Wow! But how do I ask Rita-sama about it?)

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Susannah, if you want to play with these cats, you can come closer.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Ah, Rita-sama!

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Here—

🔇 N/A

✦

Reading the anticipation sparkling in Susannah’s eyes, Rita gently pulled her to her side. Encouraged, Susannah slowly crouched down—

🔇 N/A

✦

And the next second, the languid cats suddenly scurried off. Some hid behind Rita, while the others hid behind curtains.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

…

🔇 N/A

💬

Sorry, I scared them off.

💬

If only I could be liked by cats.

< Select one of the options to proceed. >

💬

Sorry, I scared them off.

< Alert: Admiration for Rita-sama increased! >

Susannah

✦

Sorry, Rita-sama, I scared them off. Sigh, I love cats, but they hate me. I don’t know what to do at this point.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

It’s alright, Susannah, they’re too shy and that’s all. Would you like me to teach you a dance? It might reintroduce you to them.

🔇 N/A

💬

If only I could be liked by cats.

< Alert: Admiration for Rita-sama increased! >

Susannah

✦

Sob, it’s another day of being hated by cats. If only I could be like Rita-sama. They seem to really like you, which reminds me of Stan.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Fufu, that’s because they are much sweeter than Stan. Susannah, getting along with people is a process, and so is getting along with cats. Why not start from learning a dance?

🔇 N/A

< Dialogue remains unchanged from this point. >

Susannah

✦

Wow! Is it really a magical dance that can soothe cats?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Fufu, the dance itself isn’t magical. There are many ways to express thoughts, and for them, body movements are perhaps the most expressive.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

So this dance only expresses your kindness toward them to help them feel safe.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

I get it now! You’re amazing!

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Would you like to learn it?

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

I’d love to! But Rita-sama, may I film it as footage?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

With pleasure. After all, I’m the one who asked you to help with the filming.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Okay! Thank you, Rita-sama!

🔇 N/A

✦

Under the warm sunlight, Rita walked into the restroom in a cafe and changed into an outfit that resembled Susannah’s.

🔇 N/A

Rita

< Tap the circles when they turn yellow in this rhythm minigame. (Note: You actually don’t have to tap any circles to clear the stage. Just wait it out. >

< Dialogue proceeds after stage is cleared. >

Rita

✦

This dance is perfect for Susannah.

🔇 N/A

✦

Before anyone realized, Rita had changed back to her original outfit.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

That’s because you taught me well.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

I only offered advice. You have a solid foundation in dancing, which enables you to learn different dance styles much easier.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Huh? I’ve never told anyone about having practiced dancing… Wow, Rita-sama can really see through anything?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Your body movements told me that. Your body possesses great flexibility and coordination, and your movements possess great control and rhythm.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

I could tell that practicing dancing has been a strenuous yet memorable experience for you.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Whoa, I can’t hide anything from you! It wasn’t really strenuous, though. When I was a child, I just endured the painful basic exercises by grating my teeth.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

That’s very commendable. When I was learning to dance, I found it quite difficult.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Really? My dance teacher thought I could hold on because I am insensitive to pain, and react slowly to it, haha~

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

It’s not that I don’t think it’s painful. But since I chose to do it, I’ll stick it out. There’s no reason to give up halfway.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

You’re right. But if you’re a great dancer, why isn’t it on your Valkyrie profile?

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Aaaaah! It’s because of that!

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Hmm? Could you elaborate?

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Because I don’t want to be called onto the stage when Schicksal holds events! Growing up, no matter which relatives came to visit, my parents would force me to perform for them.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

One second I was eating, and the next second my name was called to sing and dance in front of people… It was horrible! It ruined the date pilaf!

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

And when I went home during the holidays, they’d make me watch the videos of my childhood performances with them! It’s traumatic! I don’t have the guts to watch my embarrassing history in HD…

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

You must be adorable when you were a child. I’d love to watch the videos you mentioned.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Rita-sama, not you too! Whenever I think of this, I don’t feel so homesick anymore.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

But at least starting to dance at a young age improved my body control and flexibility, so I was able to pass the test and join the Phosdjinns, bringing me one step closer to my dream~

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

That happens to prove your past efforts will make a different when the time comes.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Yeah! This might be the time. Let me try!

🔇 N/A

✦

Slowly, Susannah crouched down and reached her hand lying supine on the coffee table.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

(Just one touch…)

🔇 N/A

✦

When her hand was about to connect, that chubby cat suddenly roused turned in the air, and bolted off.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Noooo, why am I still hated by cats? It’s the same thing, but I keep messing up.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Don’t worry, Susannah, compared to me when I first learned this dance, you’re doing exceptionally well.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Eh? Shouldn’t someone as perfect as you master it on your first try?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Fufu, no human being is perfect, and no skill can be mastered easily.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

But everyone says nothing is too difficult for you!

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

If you have questions about actual combat, consult Rita-sama and she’ll point out your shortcomings.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

If you don’t understand theoretical knowledge, consult Rita-sama and she’ll explain it to you concisely.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Even if you don’t know what to cook, consult with Rita-sama and she’ll provide the most delicious recipes!

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Everyone sees you as the Valkyrie who can do everything perfectly with a smile, or rather perfection itself!

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

My, looks like I’ve caused quite a misunderstanding. Susannah, don’t be fooled by the apparent ease. It took me much effort to be a good maid.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Huh?

🔇 N/A

✦

As if recalling the details, Rita held her chin and shifted her gaze to the sunflower basking in sunlight on the table.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Perfect body language and graceful movements are the basic qualifications of a maid, so I took dance lessons to shape myself.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Housekeeping and preparing delicious meals are the basic duties of a maid, so I research housekeeping and culinary skills every night.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Keeping everything organized is the core course of a maid, so I study related theoretical knowledge as well.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

As for actual combat… If I want to fight alongside Durandal-sama, I must hone my combat skills, naturally.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

I didn’t know you worked so hard in private.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

That’s because I’m far less gifted than Durandal-sama and Sushang-sama. They’re not only rare geniuses, but also exemplary of diligence.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Even the truly gifted have worked far harder than the ordinary to become who they are today. Then mustn’t we, the much less gifted, work extra hard to become who we wish to be?

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

…

🔇 N/A

💬

You’re such a hard worker.

💬

But I’ve worked hard too.

< Select one of the options to proceed. >

💬

You’re such a hard worker.

< Alert: Admiration for Rita-sama increased! >

Susannah

✦

Rita-sama is so inspiring. Becoming an S-rank Valkyrie takes more effort than people can imagine. Thank you for teaching me that! I’ll remember it.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Fufu, aside from praising me, do you have anything else to say?

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Ehhh, I really can’t hide anything from you.

🔇 N/A

💬

But I’ve worked hard too.

< Alert: Admiration for Rita-sama increased! >

Susannah

✦

… You’re right, I’ll remember your teaching.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Fufu, have you? You seemed confused, Susannah. If you have any questions, you shouldn’t hesitate to ask, right?

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Rita-sama, I-I take my training and missions very seriously, not as much as you do, but I did my best, yet I still haven’t become a good Valkyrie.

🔇 N/A

< Dialogue remains unchanged from this point. >

Susannah

✦

… I know gifted people work hard, and we ordinary people work hard too, but we only have twenty-four hours a day, how would I ever catch up?

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

That’s not even counting the time spent on fixing mistakes… The others only need some pointers to understand, while I remain clueless; The others succeed on their first try, while I’m cleaning the mess I made.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Can someone like me become a Valkyrie like everyone else through sheer hard work?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

I see. Susannah, do you want to hear a story?

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Huh? Yeah, okay!

🔇 N/A

✦

Gently, Rita picked up the potted sunflower, warm under the sun, and stroked it.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Long ago, a sunflower admired the glory of the sun, so it rotated its face in the hope of catching a little of its heat.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

But… the sun didn’t wait for it, and the dying warmth of dusk was all it left. When the sunflower cried, an angel came to it and said—

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

“How warm, how graceful! You must be the best sunflower in the world!”

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

So… the sunflower never caught up to the sun?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

But its efforts have made it a better version of itself.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

In the following days, it experienced the cold of night and the growing warmth of dawn, but it always remembered what the angel said—the ordinary sunflower might never shine as brightly as the sun, but it can shine an irreplaceable light of its own.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Um, is this the story of Rita-sama?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Fufu, perhaps it’s the story of ordinary individuals striving to shine for themselves. Your efforts may not always pay off, but they’re unforgettable nonetheless.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Ordinary people striving to shine for themselves? I-I understand, Rita-sama. I’ll work harder and find my way.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Compared to when we first met, now you can handle reports and missions skillfully. Therefore, I believe you can do even better.

🔇 N/A

Susannah

✦

Is this true? You’ve been paying attention to me!

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Of course, because I’m looking forward to seeing a better Susannah.

🔇 N/A
