Dialogue

Open for business for the day

Step Description

Go find Cerydra and start managing today's business. Better not keep those hungry fairies waiting.

Aedes Elysiae

Phainon: ...Something feels off.

Tribbie: Snowy, We'll help you keep an eye out!

Tribbie: Um... a bit more to the left. Yes, more to the left!

Phainon: How about now?

Cerydra: Heh. If you ask me, it's clearly too far left now.

Cerydra: The center of the design doesn't line up with the door frame, and the edges are sticking out. You need to move it to the right.

Tribbie: Wrong! Little Imperator's got a big temper but terrible eyesight. It should go left!

Cerydra: Dux Fatorum, your angle's too low. From a higher vantage point, it's obvious — it needs to go right.

Tribbie: Little Imperator's being mean! We used to be much taller than you!

Phainon: ...

Phainon: Well, guess I'll just judge for myself.

For some reason, the front of the restaurant is unusually noisy today. By the time you arrive...

Tribbie: Little Gray, come check out Snowy's great work!

Tribbie: Pretty impressive, huh? Feels like a fancy restaurant now, doesn't it?

The sign is up! We're official!

So this is what a starred restaurant looks like?

Phainon: Now that we've earned a Memchelin Star, the storefront needs to keep up with our new image.

Phainon: That's why I asked the fairies to rush out new tables, chairs, and a fresh sign. It may look small, but putting it up was surprisingly tiring.

Tribbie: You've done great. Little Imperator will mark you down for overtime!

Cerydra: Now that the manager's here, let's discuss our future plans.

Cerydra: With our new star rating, more customers will be showing up. Naturally, the restaurant's standards must rise in every aspect to meet demand.

Cerydra: First of all, just like that judge said, the current menu is way too limited.

Phainon: If we're expanding the menu, how about a Creamy Lettuce Salad?

Cyrene: No! Absolutely no more salads.

Phainon: Sure, the sugar content's a bit higher, but it's more flavorful. Refreshing fruit and veggies can whet the appetite, and they also work great as a dessert.

Tribbie: Snowy, stop being so obsessed with salads. Anyone else got ideas?

Cerydra: Speaking of which, wasn't there another person that applied for the chef position earlier?

Cerydra: Yeah, but he lives pretty far from here. Coming all the way to Aedes Elysiae takes time. If I'm not wrong... he should be arriving today.

Mydei: I heard your restaurant had a chef. Honestly, I was expecting them to be someone more impressive.

It's Mydei! The restaurant is saved!

Now, who's still missing from the cast?

Phainon: Mydeimos? Never thought you'd be the new chef.

Phainon: Perfect timing. We never settled the score from that last contest. How about we settle it in this kitchen?

Mydei: Anytime. But I'll need to get familiar with the place first.

Mydei: Come, show me around.

Tribbie: Ooh, great! We will lead the way for De!

Mydei: ...

Mydei: Now I see why this restaurant's menu is so minimalist.

Mydei: Not even a decent pot in sight. How do you expect to cook properly? No wonder the menu's just grass and leaves.

Phainon: Then let's hear it from our new chef here — what do you have in mind?

Mydei: Hmph. Watch closely.

Mydei and the fairies spring into action. Before long, a massive pot is set up right outside the kitchen door.

Phainon: I've heard the construction in Castrum Kremnos is ridiculously fast, but seeing it in action... really puts things into perspective.

Mydei: A pro chef without proper tools just won't cut it.

Mydei: So, you want to expand the menu? Let me check what ingredients you've got.

Tribbie: Cinny just dropped off some veggies from the farm. You can try using those, De!

Mydei: Perfect. Let's start the fire.

(Talk to Mydei, optional)

Mydei: I'm not used to cooking with someone watching. What is it?

I just want to see you cook.

Mydei: ...

Mydei: Fine.

Mydei: Cooking, like combat, demands both relentless persistence and decisive verdict.

Mydei: Rush it, and you'll overcook. But simmer too long, and the texture falls apart.

Mydei: Words mean little, for skill comes from practice. I'll leave this pot here. Use it whenever you feel like trying your hand.

Just checking in on your work.

Mydei: Hmph. Suit yourself.

(Talk to Cerydra)

Cerydra: Running a restaurant is no different from governing a city-state. Every move must be cautiously considered. Manager, are you ready to open for business?

Let's begin today's business.

(Starts The Chrysos Maze Grand Restaurant)

I want to talk about the team.

Cerydra: Heh. Honestly, I'm quite pleased to have gathered so many capable heroes, all lending their talents to this venture.

Cerydra: What would you like to discuss?

About the Restaurant Supervisor...

Cerydra: The role of the Restaurant Supervisor currently falls under my purview. Dux Goldweaver assists me from time to time as well.

Cerydra: Thankfully, everyone on the team is dedicated and capable. It spares me from having to micromanage, allowing me to focus on business development and long-term growth.

Cerydra: Sounds idle, doesn't it? In reality, it's all endless stacks of data reports, and a never-ending flood of customer complaints. Utterly annoying.

About the Chef...

Cerydra: The crown prince of Kremnos, yet blessed with such remarkable culinary talent. Most people wouldn't believe it if you told them.

Cerydra: Now that we've got two chefs holding the fort, there's no longer any need to worry about menu variety. Though... heh, I suppose some conflict is inevitable.

About the Delivery Coordinators...

Cerydra: Dux Fatorum move with light feet and excel in delivering items and connecting people, so they are perfectly suited for this role.

Cerydra: My only concern is their overly close relationship with the local fairies, which makes it difficult for them to impose strict discipline on the delivery crew. Still, that might not be a flaw but rather an asset.

Cerydra: Oh, and... ahem. Openly commenting on the Imperator's height is a breach of etiquette. I'll let it slide this time.

About the Agricultural Experts...

Cerydra: I'm not particularly familiar with the two Grove scholars, but judging by the state of the farmland, their talents are beyond question.

Cerydra: I've heard whispers about one of them having a rather eccentric disposition, but does it matter? So long as they serve the restaurant well and ensure a bountiful harvest, that's all we need.

That's all for now.

Let's catch up another time!

Cerydra: No trouble at all. I'll be here.

(At the start of Day 4)

Cerydra: I reviewed yesterday's business data and customer feedback. There are a few issues we need to address.

Cerydra: First, with the increase in customers, we clearly don't have enough servers. The wait time for food has gotten way too long.

Tribbie: That's easy! Tons of little fairies want to work here. We can always recruit extra hands.

Cerydra: Second, we need more tables and chairs for the dining area, but there's no one in charge of that role right now.

Cyrene: That's true. Why not appoint a "lobby manager" right now, manager?

Would you like to take the job, Cyrene?

Cyrene: Aww, (Trailblazer), I'm flattered you trust me! But I've already got so much on my plate — recruiting, team management, business reports, chatting with the fairies, calling closing time...; Cyrene: Nuh-uh. I'd just slow everyone down.
(Go back to dialogue choice)

Phainon might be a good fit.

Phainon: I think I can manage. With Mydei sharing some of the kitchen duties, I'll have more time to help out front.

Phainon: Plus, I know the fairies well. It'll be easy to get help making more furniture.

Tribbie, you mind picking up a second job?

Tribbie: Even with three of us, moving tables is little tough. Maybe you can check with the rest of the crew?
(Go back to dialogue choice)

I could do it myself...

Cyrene: Love the enthusiasm, but (Trailblazer), you've got a lot on your plate too. Better leave the heavy lifting to us.
(Go back to dialogue choice)

(Trailblazer): Then it's settled. Phainon will take over as lobby manager.

Cerydra: Got it. I'll update the records, and the follow-up will be in your capable hands. If there's nothing else, this meeting is adjourned.

Cerydra: As for how to tackle the actual issues, that's for you to decide, manager.

Well, it's part of my job.

...This isn't going to take forever to learn again, is it?

Tribbie: No worries! We and Snowy will keep things super simple. You'll understand everything at a glance!

The menu has received a lot of attention. This probably has something to do with the addition of the new chef.

Wow, Agy has set up a discussion group!

As the restaurant's star rating improves, the number of issues to handle will also increase. You can discuss them here.
And hey, just chatting for fun is perfectly fine too

Anaxa
In that case, you should remember to provide detailed feedback for all of us every day too

(At the start of Day 6)

Cyrene: Everyone! Before we open for the day, there's something I'd like to discuss.

Cyrene: Our restaurant's starting to make a name for itself, and day-to-day operations are running smoothly. I think it's time we try something more fun.

Tribbie: We're in! But what do you mean by "fun"?

Cyrene: You know how shops in the city-state host seasonal celebrations? Like Phagousa's Month of Carnival, or the anniversary of the Marmoreal Palace?

Cyrene: Perhaps our restaurant could adopt a similar approach, regularly... refreshing the menu with enticing new dishes? Or even revamping the decor? The key is to keep things fresh and exciting.

Ah! You're talking about themed events.

Cyrene: Yes! Themed events! I knew (Trailblazer) would get it!

Cyrene: Everyone can pitch their own ideas for themes, and we'll decide by vote. How does that sound?

Cyrene: (Trailblazer) will have final say. Whoever suggests the chosen theme will take the lead for that event. We'll rotate themes regularly, so it won't be too much work.

Cyrene: The floor's open! Feel free to speak up~

Phainon: ...

Phainon: That said... I'm kind of drawing a blank.

Tribbie: ...It is hard indeed.

Cerydra: Heh. Since no one's willing to step up, allow me to take the reins.

Cerydra: In honor and commemoration, I — leader of the Okhema Alliance, Imperator of the holy city — hereby propose the first-ever restaurant event.

Cerydra: The event theme shall be: "Imperator"!

Cerydra: During the event, all dishes must be prefixed with the noble title "Imperator," all staff shall refer to themselves as loyal subjects, and all customers must recite praises of the Imperator's glory before every meal.

Cerydra: Thus, that earlier salad dish shall henceforth be renamed—

Cerydra: "Cery Salad."

...That's a bit of a dry joke.

You do have a knack for cracking people up.

Phainon: I, Phainon of Aedes Elysiae, reject this proposal with full conviction.

Tribbie: We reject it too!

Cyrene: Whew... I was really worried for a second that theme might actually pass.

Cerydra: ...

Cerydra: Hahahahaha! Well, at least that's one way to shake things up.

Cerydra: Now that the spark of creativity has been lit, I'll leave you to your brainstorming.

Phainon: I have a proposal. Since we're a restaurant in the Maze, how about a theme inspired by Aedes Elysiae itself?

Phainon: When I think of Aedes Elysiae, the golden wheat fields come to mind. During the event, we could serve wheat-based dishes and decorate the place with bundles of wheat, symbolizing a bountiful harvest.

Cyrene: But if the theme is "Aedes Elysiae," wouldn't that be a bit too difficult for the little fairies to understand?

Tribbie: We have an idea! For the first event, it has to be something super appealing!

Tribbie: Let's build the theme around the dish everyone loves! Can you guess?

Tribbie: The answer is sweets! We know no one can resist the charm of desserts.

Tribbie: The event theme will be — "Sweetie Festival!"

Cyrene: Alright! Both proposals are on the table. Time to vote! One vote per person, so think carefully.

Cyrene: Anyone in favor of Chef Phainon's proposal, raise your hand!

Phainon: ...Me.

(Raises hand)

Cyrene: That makes two votes for Phainon — his and (Trailblazer)'s.

(Don't raise your hand)

Cyrene: Oh dear, only Phainon voted for himself.

Cyrene: Now, those in favor of Lady Tribbie's proposal, raise your hand!

Tribbie: We vote for it!

(Raises hand)

(If the player agreed with Phainon earlier): Cyrene: Manager... we said one vote per person. No abusing your power.
(If the player didn't agree with Phainon earlier): Cyrene: So that's Tribbie, (Trailblazer), and me... three votes in total.

(Don't raise your hand)

(If the player agreed with Phainon earlier): Cyrene: Alright, guess it's just Tribbie and me — two votes in total.
(If the player didn't agree with Phainon earlier): Cyrene: Fair enough. Abstaining counts too. So that's two votes for Tribbie's proposal.

Cyrene: Which means the final tally is—

Tribbie: Uh-uh, you miscounted. WeTribbie, Trianne and Trinnon all raised our hands! That's three votes! A landslide victory!

Phainon: Huh!?

Phainon: ...I yield. No one can win over Tribbie when it comes to voting.

Cyrene: Then it's settled! The restaurant's first themed event will be "Sweetie Festival," and the event leads will be Tribbie, Trianne, and Trinnon.

Cyrene: Manager, do you approve of this arrangement?

Fine by me.

You'll be held responsible if it doesn't go well, you know?

Tribbie: Don't worry. We won't let you down!

Tribbie: ...Rock, paper, scissors!

Trianne: I picked rock!

Trinnon: I picked scissors.

Tribbie: I picked paper~

Tribbie: Oh no, another tie. We just can't convince each other!

Can't you just settle it with heads or tails?

Let me join in and give it a try.

Tribbie: Little Gray, perfect timing! We were just hoping to hear your take!

Tribbie: The restaurant's event theme is "Sweetie Festival." But here's the question: What exactly is "sweet"?

Trianne: It's super simple! Anything with tons of sugar counts as sweet!

Trianne: So we just need to pour a mountain of sugar into the dough!

Trinnon: Trinnon disagrees. Sweetness is a more complicated feeling. If someone's in a bad mood, even the sweetest food might taste dull.

Trinnon: To really create that sweetie vibe, the overall dining experience has to be spot on.

Tribbie: Mmm... the little cookies Mom brought home really were yummy. Tribbie came up with Sweetie Festival because we wanted to recreate that kind of flavor.

Tribbie: But we still aren't sure what needs to be done...

(Agree with Trianne)

(Trailblazer): Did you notice? "Trianne" has "tree" in her name, and she's reliable as an old oak, her hair's as red as a maple tree in autumn, and she's sweet as maple syrup!

Trianne: Little Gray, thanks for the support. But that's not a valid reason!

(Agree with Trinnon)

(Trailblazer): You've got a point. Dishes at high-end restaurants do feel more delicious somehow.

Trinnon: Trinnon's wondering... is that because of the environment? Or is it something else?

(Agree with Tribbie)

(Trailblazer): Memories always taste the best, but no one can taste the exact same dish twice.

Tribbie: Tribbie understands that too. But still... how do you bring back the flavor of a memory?

Tribbie: Since we can't settle on a conclusion, let's take a break! Everyone, go brainstorm — we'll make Sweetie Festival a success together!

Trinnon: Tribbie, you're forgetting something important.

Trianne: A Sweetie Festival needs sweet ingredients!

Cipher: Well, well, what do we have here? Could it be you're running into a little supply issue?

Cipher: From fruits of the bough to beasts of the field — I've got everything. Care to take a look?

Tribbie: Little Ciphy, you're here too! We want to cook something suuuper sweet. Do you have the right ingredients?

Cipher: Oh, I've got plenty. Go ahead, browse all you want. My stock's full to the brim, satisfaction guaranteed!

Cipher: Of course... it'll cost you.

Trying to jack up prices, are we?

Cipher: Ah, my friend, you wound me! This place is smack in the middle of nowhere. Hauling supplies here takes a lot of effort.

Can't you give us a discount, for old times' sake?

Cipher: Oof, no can do. This place is smack in the middle of nowhere. Hauling supplies here takes a lot of effort.

Cipher: Enough talk, see for yourself. But no haggling, got it?

(After replenishing inventory)

Cipher: Connections are everything in business. Consider this your welcome gift.

Tribbie: Whoa, this honey's super sweet! Little Ciphy's prices might be steep, but the taste is totally worth it.

Cipher: Of course, these goods cost me a fortune in treasures. All of top-notch quality, I swear! Come back anytime, my friend~

Cipher: Not like you've got another shop to go to anyway~

I'm telling the village chief on you!

Cipher: Hey, how does the saying go...? "Knowledge ain't free these days." You want the good stuff, you gotta pay up.

Monopolies are illegal!

Cipher: Oh, if we're talking monopolies, your restaurant is just as guilty. So stop judging.

Cipher: Anyway, the little critters say your restaurant is quite something. Got anything tasty for me to try too?

Tribbie: You want food from the restaurant, you gotta pay. Even you don't get a free pass, Little Ciphy.

Cipher: Aw~ Don't be so stingy, big sis Tribbie~

Cipher: Hmph, fine. Even if I don't get to taste for free, I've got my own ways.

Cipher: I've also sent you details of my purchase methods. Buy whatever you need, anytime. Later!

Tribbie: Little Ciphy hasn't changed a bit. Still, now that we've got honey, we can whip up a whole slew of sweet dishes!

Tribbie: Little Gray, let's open for business!

(Talk to Cipher, optional)

Cipher: Hey there, Gray Mystery! Making the rounds, huh?

Cipher: Don't overdo it. Life's easy here. Sip some tea, feel the breeze, and enjoy the rare vacation. Isn't it awesome?

Sounds like the good life.

Cipher: It is! This is my dream for retirement, slow and peaceful. I swear I'm not lying.

Cipher: Well, spending time with all those little critters... I think they're slowing me down! My reflexes aren't what they used to be, and I've even picked up their little "mem" speech quirk.

Cipher: Use it or lose it, huh? Think I'll ever get back into my old groove... Mem?

Let's catch up another time!

Cipher: Boring! But fine, fine. I get it. You're the manager. You've got lots on your plate. Busy's good!

(Talk to Cerydra)

Cerydra: Customer numbers have been on a sugar high lately, proving our sweet-themed strategy was exactly the right flavor. Of course, now Dux Fatorum has to juggle many more items on their daily menu.

Let's begin today's business.

(Starts The Chrysos Maze Grand Restaurant)

I want to talk about the team.

Let's catch up another time!

(After closing business on Day 6)
(Receive message from Business Quick Response): Garmentmaker
Sweetie Festival kickoff day. Customer reactions: Outstanding! Complaints to handle: 1. See below:
"Mem! I'm stuck in a weight loss plateau and I can't handle high-calorie food right now!"
"I need dishes that are sweet without sugar, crispy without grease, and both tasty AND good for me!"
Tribbie
Hmm... quite the picky eater. How should we deal with this one?
Anaxa
Just respond with: "Would you like some magic bullets instead?"
Chef Phainon, what do you think?
(Trailblazer)
Chef @Phainon, we need your input. Is this something we could cater for?
Phainon
Into fitness, are they? No problem. I can whip up a special high-protein meal for their diet
We're out of cheese. I'll go buy some more
(Trailblazer)
Doesn't Mydei also lift weights? Use his for now
Phainon
Nuh-uh. I added sugar water to his goat milk container
Mydei
?
Miss Hyacine, over to you
(Trailblazer)
Let's ask our nutrition expert @Hyacine to weigh in on this
Hyacine
Research from Grove scholars shows that eating a full-calorie meal once a week actually helps with fat loss.
Phainon
Ah, the famous cheat meal approach. That does make sense.
Garmentmaker
Your friend is typing...
"Thanks for the advice. But I already cheated yesterday, the day before, AND the day before that..."
Mydei
And you think that's gonna help with your... fat loss?

(After closing business on Day 7)
(Receive message from Business Quick Response): Tribbie
The fairies are a bit undisciplined and keep spilling customers' dishes...
Phainon
The kitchen situation isn't much better. Steaks frequently come out undercooked.
Hyacine
At least the farm section is running smoothly, probably because Professor Anaxa runs such a tight ship.
Anaxa
It's simple. Just make any fairy who doesn't follow orders plow the field.
We need better staff training
(Trailblazer)
Team performance defines business success. We need stricter standards for our staff.
Mydei
How about training them with Kremnoan military discipline? I can help with that
Cerydra
Or... we could simply cut the lowest performers and regularly terminate staff who fail to meet expectations
(Trailblazer)
...You're the real evil boss
We need a performance review system
(Trailblazer)
How about regular performance reviews with appropriate rewards and penalties?
Cerydra
Agreed. We could also add self-assessment and peer reviews to improve accuracy.
Tribbie
Agreed! But our vote needs to count as three!
Phainon
I officially object
Hyacine
I'm all for it! I can't wait to give the Professor a big fat "Fail"!
Anaxa
?

(At the start of Day 8): Tribbie: Today's the big day. The judges are coming! Trianne, Trinnon, are you ready?; Trianne: Trianne poured an entire jar of honey into the dough!; Trinnon: Trinnon read a mountain of books and compiled tons of tips for making food taste even better.; And what about Tribbie?; Someone's slacking off, huh?; Trianne: Trianne saw it. Tribbie was out playing in the fields all day!; Tribbie: That's not true! Tribbie was working super hard too... Tribbie just wanted to prepare a surprise for Cas.; Tribbie: Alright, Little Gray's up and about. Let's get today's business started!

Get ready and attend the Memchelin Food Review

Step Description

The second Memchelin Food Review is about to begin! Gather your restaurant crew and join!
Will the dishes from the Sweetie Festival charm the judges' taste buds?

Aedes Elysiae

(After reaching the sale target): Content Fairy: Mem... eating here feels so comfy~ Like coming home, mem!; Tribbie: Sweetie Festival wraps up for the day. Thanks for stopping by, everyone!; Trianne: Thank you! If you liked it, come back often!; Trinnon: If you have any suggestions, write us a letter and drop it in the little mailbox by the door. Thanks!; Cyrene: Sweetie Festival has garnered amazing feedback. Everyone's been raving about us.; Cyrene: Big shoutout to Tribbie, Trianne, and Trinnon, our three event leads! Great job!; Trianne: Anything for our little fairies!; Trinnon: But for now, we've got something important to take care of.; Tribbie: Now that we've hit our sales target, it's time for the food review. Let us go bring some sweetness to Cas!

(Talk to Tribbie)

Tribbie: Little Gray, you ready to head to the food review?

Let's roll!

Tribbie: Let's go! Time to find Cas and our little fairy friends!

Still got a couple of things to wrap up...

Tribbie: No rush! We'll wait for you right here, Little Gray!

Announcer Fairy: The long-awaited Memchelin Food Review is officially back —

Announcer Fairy: Lately, "(The Trailblazer's Hearth/Maze Grand Restaurant/Aedes Elysiae Community Canteen/Chrysos Heir Activity Center/Custom Name 2)" has been gaining tons of buzz in the Membrance Maze. With delicious food and warm, thoughtful service, they've won over the hearts of our fairy folk.

Announcer Fairy: The recently held Sweetie Festival was another big hit. Even I sneaked over for a bite. Mem! Words can't do it justice... It's just that good!

Announcer Fairy: Will they pass this latest round of judging? And what will the panel of expert reviewers have to say?

Announcer Fairy: Let's see what'll happen!

Tribbie: Little Gray, can we ask you a favor? Can we decide which dishes to submit for judging?

Trianne: Trianne wants to know whose dish is sweeter!

Trinnon: There happens to be three judges, so each of us only needs to prepare one dish.

Alright, you've got my approval.

Better bring your A-game, everyone.

Tribbie: Thanks, Little Gray! Just place them on that empty table, right? We'll go get everything ready right away!

Judge Fairy: Mem?

Trianne: Hey, that's not fair, picking the same dish as Trianne!

Guess this is what they call telepathy.

I kinda feel this is to be expected?

Tribbie: We each had our own take on what the Sweetie Festival means.

Tribbie: Even if it's all pancakes, the taste can still be totally different!

Castorice: I see. To help the judges out, could each of you talk about your dish a little?

Trianne: Trianne first! Sweet food's gotta be super sweet! So Trianne packed that pancake with a ton of honey.

Trianne: Oh, and also, Trianne secretly asked De to learn a special technique!

Trianne: Simmering it over and over till the honey turned extra rich and sweet, but not too heavy!

Trianne: That sums up Trianne's idea! Sweet food should make people smile the moment they taste it!

Castorice: So Trianne focused on improving the ingredients and techniques. What about the other two chefs?

Trinnon: Trinnon read in a book that great restaurants explain to their guests how the food is made. It helps them enjoy it even more.

Trinnon: The wheat used for these pancakes was carefully selected and cultivated by the restaurant's agricultural expert. Only the best made the cut after countless trials.

Trinnon: And the head chef used a signature technique from Castrum Kremnos when kneading the dough and baking it, which makes the pancakes extra crisp and really brings out the full aroma of the honey.

Trinnon: We wonder... does this flavor suit your palate?

Look at you, really starting to sound like a pro waiter at a fancy establishment!

Wow, didn't expect Trinnon to be this good at bragging...

Trianne: Little Gray, Trinnon will let you in on a secret: Trinnon actually rehearsed that whole speech for days just for this!

Castorice: You can tell a lot of love went into that dish. Now then, what's special about yours, Tribbie?

Tribbie: You'll know the moment you taste it, Cas.

Castorice: Then I won't hold back!

Castorice: ...

Castorice: Besides the crisp crust and the sweet honey, there's something else... something familiar. Wait, is this...

Castorice: The scent of Antila flowers?

Tribbie: Cas figured it out! Yes. Tribbie added Antila petals to the pancake.

Tribbie: I feel the heart of the Sweetie Festival is making people feel happy. But happiness... means something different to everyone.

Tribbie: That's why a restaurant should tailor each dish to suit the guest's tastes and preferences.

Tribbie: So I made this honey pie just for you, Cas!

Castorice: ...Indeed, it tastes just like in my memories. Very much a taste of Aidonia. Thank you.

Castorice: There's no about [sic] that Tribbie, Trinnon, and Trianne each brought something amazing to the table. Choosing just one is not easy.

Castorice: But since this dish is going to represent our restaurant, I think we've got a clear winner. What do the rest of the judges think?

Judge Fairy: Mem! Mem, mem!!!

Castorice: Agreed. That's what I thought.

Castorice: Looks like one judge had to step out halfway. So by the rules, I'll go ahead and announce the winner of this culinary showdown—

??: Hold on! I haven't voted yet!

Judge Fairy Who's Late: Sorry! I had a sudden stomachache and had to step out for a bit. My bad, everyone. Mem!

Judge Fairy Who's Late: Has everyone else already given their verdict? Then let me grab a bite. Mem!

Trianne: Uh-oh, Trianne's getting real nervous!

Judge Fairy Who's Late: Have you all tried your own dishes? Mem.

Tribbie: Yeah. One bite.

Judge Fairy Who's Late: And? What'd you think? Mem.

Tribbie: It was delicious! We really put our hearts into these dishes. You won't be disappointed!

Castorice: Yes. The other judge and I both gave very high marks.

Judge Fairy Who's Late: That good, huh? Alright, let me have a taste too.

Judge Fairy Who's Late: ...

Judge Fairy Who's Late: — WHOA!! Pfft! Pfft!!

Judge Fairy Who's Late: Who dumped that much sugar in here!? Don't you know cats can't eat sweets!?

Trianne: Whoa! The little fairy just turned into a little Ciphy!

Cipher: ...

Cipher: Mew? Wait, the sound of those little critters... Mem? Mem-mem-mem!

Cipher: Mem! Memem, mememem!

Oh, I see what's going on. You showed up just to sneak some food, didn't you?

Caught you, you little glutton!

Cipher: Hey, told ya I had a way to score a free bite. Aside from the sugar overload, it's actually not half bad.

Cipher: Well, that was fun. I'll leave you to it. Catch you later!

Cyrene: Wait! Miss Cipher, have you ever considered working at our restaurant?

Cipher: Nope. Don't even try to rope me into working in your restaurant, or even holding a job. Not happening. Not now, not ever!

Cipher: No one's bossing me around these days. I do what I want, when I want, and I'm loving every second of it.

Cipher: Until we meet again! If it's not the case, I'm always open to business. See ya!

Castorice: Well, despite the little detour, Lady Cipher did give the dish high praise as well.

Castorice: Now then, let's wrap this up. (Trailblazer), please accept this medal.

Judge Fairy: Mem! Congratulations! "(The Trailblazer's Hearth/Maze Grand Restaurant/Aedes Elysiae Community Canteen/Chrysos Heir Activity Center/Custom Name 2)" has passed the culinary review! You're now officially a 2-star restaurant! Mem!

Judge Fairy: Keep it up and shoot for that 4-star rating next!

Aedes Elysiae

(Talk to Castorice, optional): Castorice: All three teachers prepared excellent dishes. It's only natural that your restaurant passed the food review.; Castorice: Now that the restaurant's rating has gone up, its popularity in the Maze is bound to skyrocket. I look forward to seeing what delicious surprises you all come up with next.

(Talk to Tribbe, Trianne, or Trinnon, optional): Tribbie: The Sweetie Festival is almost over. And we still haven't figured out whose dish was the sweetest.; Trianne: But Little Cas loved every bite!; Trinnon: Trinnon will make sure to record all the recipes, and leave them for other chefs to study.; I've even thought of the perfect title for the book.; (Trailblazer): Since it was Tribbie, Trinnon, and Trianne who proposed the challenge, why not call it "The TTT Conundrum?"; Tribbie: Little Gray! We did it! We nailed the mission and made the Sweetie Festival a big success!; Trianne: Test passed. The fairies are very pleased!; Trinnon: We can't wait to see what the next theme event will be!

(Talk to Cyrene)

Cyrene: And with that, the Sweetie Festival comes to a perfect close. The restaurant's doing better than ever. What a fulfilling day.

Cyrene: (Trailblazer), you've been working nonstop. Thank you for your hard work!

Yeah, guess it does make me a bit tired.

Cyrene: Then hit the hay and have a sweet, sweet dream. Rest up, and we'll see you tomorrow!

Still got a couple of things to wrap up...
