Watch a movie with Asha

(Talk to Hailey)

Hailey: Hey there! If you'd like to invite a companion to watch a movie, check this out~

Hailey: The higher your movie rank, the more Gravity Points you'll earn.

Hailey: After reaching Popcorn Partners, you can collect Movie Notes~

Hailey: Next up, send a movie invite to your companion!

Asha: Movies, movies, let's watch movies~

Asha: Oh right, how about we check out Starlight Knight: The Other Knight?

Of course!

Asha: Let's watch Starlight Knight: The Other Knight!

Hailey: Looks like it's a film they like...

Hailey: Looks like this movie's right up her alley. I'd say go with this one~

Hailey: Now, let's get your tickets and head inside!

(Open tutorial Silver Screen Invitation Details)

(During the movie)

(Asha really enjoys these light-hearted movies.)

Asha: The kids at the Arcade keep talking about this movie. I'm curious to see what's so great about it.

I have a friend who's really into this film too.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): My friend is a die-hard fan of this series, although he's not a kid anymore.

Asha: What an interesting friend...

Asha: But this also proves it has a distinct charm that makes more and more people curious to check it out.

(Actually, this type of film has a pretty niche audience. I should probably warn her...)

Explain the movie's unique audience

(Movie Rank increase)

Asha: Ah, I see! It's alright. I'm also excited to hear those iconic lines the kids love to quote.

Asha: I'm probably just like your friend — an adult on the outside, but still a kid at heart.

Asha: Otherwise, I wouldn't still be at Godfinger all the time, right?

Recommend a movie following the topic

(Movie Rank increase)

Asha: That's our Manager. You know how to set the right expectations before watching a film. So professional and thoughtful!

Asha: The excitement you show when recommending a film is exactly the same as those kids — you can't stop yourself from talking!^{[Note 3]}

Asha: I can tell you're really into it. I'm sure I'll end up loving it too.

(Time's up.)

Asha: I just saw someone wearing the protagonist's outfit from the poster! This movie has some pretty dedicated fans.

(The Knight thinks the crisis is over, unaware the evil fiend is brewing a sinister plot...)

(Asha seems really absorbed in it... maybe I shouldn't disturb her...)

Asha: What's wrong? You've got your eyebrows furrowed. Is something bothering you?

(I was just worried about bothering Asha, but she ended up worrying about me instead.)

(Better tell her the truth and put her mind at ease.)

I didn't want to disturb you by talking.

(Movie Rank increase)

Asha: No need to be so cautious, you don't have to worry about anything with me.

Asha: This is precious time off work, so let's just relax and enjoy the movie.^{[Note 4]}

Asha stretches lazily, and you can't help but relax too.

"See? See? Being chill is just as contagious as being happy!"^{[Note 5]}

She suddenly leans in way too close for comfort, making your newly relaxed state tense right back up...

My eyebrows have a mind of their own!

Asha gently taps your forehead with her finger.

Asha: Hmm? Is that so?

Asha playfully smooths your furrowed brow with her palm, and now it feels like it's got a mind of its own...

Asha: If it's too awkward to explain, I'll let you off the hook this time because you're being "cute".

(Time's up.)

Asha: Good vibes don't stick around forever, so let's focus on the movie.

Starlight Knight: A true hero doesn't run away! There's only one true trump card — and that's me! Now, show me what you got!

Starlight Knight: I shall list your crimes, and put a stop to this endless war!

(The showdown's here! It's one epic scene after another, and the whole theater's all hyped up!)

(Several movie fans suddenly get excited and start shouting classic lines along with the Knight. Asha seems caught up in the lively atmosphere too.)

Asha: This is such a rare movie experience. Everyone is cheering for the Knight. Don't you want to join them?

(Asha seems excited to see me mimic the lines. I should...)

Shout the classic line

(Movie Rank increase)

Asha: You really looked like a true Starlight Knight just now.

Asha: Hahaha, you're so shy but still trying to act tough. You're the type of kid that can't stand losing at Snake Duel, huh?

Unable to hold back anymore, Asha grabs your hand and waves it around until the film's climax is over...
You're both out of breath, the excitement lingering in the air.

Asha: Everyone's so hyped! This interaction is even more fun than the movie itself!

Let Asha go first

Asha: Me? Should we go together? Hmm... on second thought, never mind. It'd be kinda embarrassing when I think about it.

You look at Asha encouragingly. She hesitates before letting out a soft call, then shyly covers her face.

Asha: Just as I thought, since I'm not quite a fan yet, shouting feels a bit embarrassing...

Asha: Don't do this next time, okay? When you look at me with those eyes full of hope, there's no way I can say no!

(Time's up.)

Asha: Just kidding! Even though this is super hype, you seem like the type who keeps their cool instead of getting carried away.

You finish watching "Starlight Knight: The Other Knight" with Asha...

(If no correct choices were made)

Asha: You seem a bit distracted. Am I bothering you by being here?

Asha: Looks like you're the type who prefers watching movies alone, Manager. Unlike me.

Asha: I'll head back to Godfinger then. Thanks for taking the time to hang out.

(If rank Fellow Movie Fans or higher was reached)

Asha: What a special movie. No wonder the kids love it!

Adults love it too.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): A lot of adults enjoy watching it too... Maybe because there aren't many films with this kind of passion and energy anymore.

Asha: I'd say it's just okay. But it does feel very... pure, I guess?

Asha: It's a good thing I watched it. Now I've got more to chat about with everyone at the Arcade.

You can't go three sentences without mentioning the arcade.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): You're always talking about the Arcade, Asha. Do you really love your job that much?

Asha: Instead of saying "I love my job," it's more like I enjoy the experience that comes with it. You get what I mean by "experience"? Take a guess~

(Asha has always loved playing with the kids at the store, could that be why?)

Because you get to play games?

Asha: Haha, that's a pretty practical guess! After all, taking on customers' challenges is one of my favorite perks of being a staff member.

Asha: The truth is, there's no right answer. I can't even explain the reason myself. It's just that when I look back, I realize I've been working for a very long time.

Asha: I never really had a reason, I guess. But hey, this kind of life isn't so bad.

Because you get to play with the kids.

(Movie Rank increase)

Asha: Honestly, I don't know myself but, maybe that's just how it is. In the Arcade, everyone becomes a kid again.

Asha: No matter who the customer is, no matter who wins or loses...

Asha: Everyone's just there to have fun, pure and simple, like kids, right?

Asha: Maybe I just like hanging out in places like that.

Asha: It's similar to how you like Random Play.

(Time's up.)

Asha: Really? You're not even a little curious? I'm starting to feel a bit hurt...

(If rank Popcorn Partners or higher was reached)

Asha: It's the kind of movie you can just relax and enjoy. Fun yet full of excitement. No wonder it has so many fans.

Asha: The Knight levels up, fights monsters, and saves the world. Feels just as pure as a classic video game.

Asha: Gotta catch up on this series somehow. Looks like I'll be hitting the video store more often.

(If rank Fellow Movie Fans was reached)

Asha: What an interesting movie.

(If the wrong movie was chosen)

You watch the movie with Asha, but she doesn't seem too happy. Maybe she's thinking about work...

(After the movie)

Asha: Phew, that was even more interesting than I expected!

Asha: While the story's definitely aimed at kids, it's packed with jokes that adults can appreciate too, and the overall story structure is really engaging.

Starlight Knight, transformation!

Count your Dennies!

Asha: Haha, maybe I'll see if there are any spin-off games out there. It might be fun to have one in Godfinger!

Asha: Oh, right, I remember there's a Starlight Knight standee here. Wanna take a photo together?

Talk to Asha and take a photo together

Take a commemorative photo with Asha in front of the Starlight Knight standee.

(Talk to Hailey and open Movie Notes, optional)

Hailey: In "Silver Screen Invitation" and "Coincidental Screening", you can improve your movie relationship with your invited partner.

Hailey: Once your movie relationship reaches Popcorn Partners, you'll unlock the Movie Notes for that film.

Hailey: Collect enough Movie Notes to earn some sweet bonus points~

(Talk to Asha)

Asha: What pose should I use?

(Take a photo)

Asha: Honestly... this could totally pass for a movie poster! What do you think, Hailey?

Hailey: Excellent taste in photography.

Asha: It was totally worth taking the day off to watch the movie! Now I can brag to the kids that I'm one of the lucky ones who got a photo with Starlight Knight!

The reason you took time off to watch the movie...

Was it for the kids?

Asha: Huh? Don't make me sound so selfless, you're making me blush.

Asha: I'm just a staff member who finds joy in seeing others smile, that's all. After all...

Asha: There's only so much good fortune one person can have in life. If you can't feel happy for others' happiness. It's like... How should I put it...

Asha: Like you're missing out on something! So make sure to drop by Godfinger more often. Just seeing you struggle to hold back a grin after winning a game makes working an extra hour totally worth it!

I hope you can find happiness outside of work too, Asha.

If you are happy, I'll be happy too.

Asha: Mhm, that's right... Huh?

Asha: Mmm... hmm... Huh?

Asha: Hey... You sneaky little... You can't just go around saying things that sound like an ultimate move!

But I do care about your work life balance.

I just want everyone I know to find their own happiness in life.

Asha: Not again! Your skills are overpowered! Take this!

Asha suddenly looks down. She throws a quick punch combo at you before turning away and running off.

Hailey: Is there anything I can help you with?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (How about... watching another movie?)

I plan to watch another movie by myself.

Do you have any recommendations?

Hailey: I recommend "The Outdoor Cinema." Personally, I think it's a must-watch masterpiece. I've rewatched it several times on my own!

That's the one!

Hailey: Perfect timing! "The Outdoor Cinema" is about to start letting people in. Come this way to get your tickets!

Oh right, about the VIP card...

Hailey: Rest assured, you'll earn points on your "Gravity VIP Card" no matter how many people walk into the theater — so long as you buy the tickets.

Hailey: Since it's your first day with the VIP card, let me run you through the info on it real quick!

Hailey: Here you can check your Gravity Points and VIP Membership Level.

(Things are getting steamy...)

(Monica is so beautiful...)

(They've been forced apart...)

(Come on!!!)

(What a shame...)

"Spend the rest of your life with me!"
Monica accepted the confession!

(The climax!)

(Our eyes met!)

(Don't give up!!)

(Confession under the stars!)

(Monica is blushing!)

The movie is over, but you're not tired at all. You could totally watch another one.

However, your aching body is saying otherwise — it's time to go out for a walk and stretch a bit...

Have a chat with Hoshimi Miyabi

You see Miyabi. Time to say hello.

(Idle)

Hoshimi Miyabi: Hmm...

(Talk to Hoshimi Miyabi)

Hoshimi Miyabi: Hm...

Miss Miyabi?

Are you training again?

Hoshimi Miyabi: That's right... My current training is...

"Training in resisting food cravings"?

"Training in savoring aromas"?

Hoshimi Miyabi: No, it's a "training in savoring anticipation."

Hoshimi Miyabi: Something interesting's about to happen here. I'm picturing it... and practicing patience.

Running into me wanting to take you to the movies...

Would that count as something interesting?

Hoshimi Miyabi: Yes.

Hoshimi Miyabi: I wonder... what kind of training one could have in a cinema?

Let's head to the cinema and find out.

"Training in predicting plot points"?

Hoshimi Miyabi: Makes sense. Like knowing whether a melon's ripe without cutting it open. It's a useful skill.

Hoshimi Miyabi: Lead the way.

You head to the cinema with Miyabi...

Watch a movie with Hoshimi Miyabi

 Commission Description

You have made plans to watch a movie with Miyabi. Go over to Gravity Cinema and get tickets from the box office.

(Talk to Hailey)

Hailey: If you want to invite some extra special friends, check this out~

Hailey: As you progress through the mission, you can invite more of your close friends to watch movies together~

Hoshimi Miyabi: Can I watch the film called "The Heartbeat" here?

So you're finally interested in movies, huh?

Did Yanagi mention it before?

Hoshimi Miyabi: Not quite. Soukaku couldn't stop crying after seeing it last night. She hid in her room all night without sleeping, so Yanagi and Harumasa went to comfort her this morning.

Hoshimi Miyabi: This movie must be exceptionally thrilling, capable of evoking the deepest fears within one's heart — watching it will surely prove a form of spiritual training that can temper one's mind.

Hoshimi Miyabi: As a warrior, I rarely feel fear, but one can only achieve breakthroughs by cutting through one's fears.

This movie... might be different from what you expect.

But it's definitely worth checking out.

Hoshimi Miyabi: I understand. I trust you.

Alright, I'll go get the tickets.

Hoshimi Miyabi: I want to watch The Heartbeat.

(During the movie)

(Miyabi looks excited, great!)

(This movie definitely won't help Miyabi with her training of "facing fears head-on"... I wonder if she'll be disappointed...)

(Miyabi seems interested in the movie, maybe I should...)

(Bust out the popcorn.)

You put the popcorn bucket between the two of you and started munching on it with Miyabi.
Suddenly, Miyabi seems to realize something, and a puzzled expression crosses her face.

Miyabi: Movies and popcorn — what's the connection?

Probably doesn't have a strong scent?

Miyabi: So it's an undistracting snack... Just like melons.

Miyabi: But in a theater, I suppose it might make a mess.

(Explain that the film is actually about family bonds.)

(Movie Rank increase)

Miyabi: I see. I guess I misunderstood.

Miyabi: You don't need to worry about me. I still have time to stick to the plan today.

Miyabi: Proxy, I appreciate you being honest about my mistakes, just like Yanagi.

Miyabi: I hope you can always be like this.

Please feel free to do the same with me too.

Miyabi: I will.

(Time's up.)

Miyabi: I see a lot of parents and children. Why? Don't kids get scared watching this?

You'll see once you finish watching it!

Miyabi: Alright, I'm curious to see how it turns out.

(A sickly child unfortunately falls into the Hollow, and the searching mother follows the faint heartbeat, treading on the verge of danger... Before the film is even halfway through, muffled sobs can already be heard from the audience.)

You suddenly feel something near your hair... turns out it's Miyabi's ears drooping towards you. Wait, is this something Thirens can actually do?

No, now's not the time to think about that! Miyabi does seem a bit dazed.

You suddenly realize this movie is about a "mother and son" relationship, it was a mistake to watch it at the cinema with Miyabi...

Miyabi: Ah, sorry, I lost myself for a second. I hope I didn't bother you.

It's fine, but are you okay?

(Movie Rank increase)

Miyabi: Oh... I'm good. It just made me realize something.

Miyabi: Every time I go on a mission in the Hollow, any mistake could be the end of me...

Miyabi: Even in the cinema, where everyone else is giving themselves to the movie.

Miyabi: It's a place where you're supposed to be open to every emotion, but I'm still reflexively shutting down my feelings.

Miyabi: Maybe that's a sign that I haven't really gotten stronger, just...better at avoiding things. I suppose that's good training in and of itself.

(Discuss the plot to ease the pressure she's feeling.)

(Movie Rank increase)

Miyabi: Are you wondering how regular people could safely enter the Hollow to find their children?

Miyabi: Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. Putting yourself in danger is never smart.

Miyabi: They should leave dealing with Hollow disasters to us, along with the Hollow Investigative Association.

Miyabi: But...the rules don't work the same way for moms.

(No, I better not continue with this topic.)

Well, about that peculiar device in the footage...

Miyabi: I know you're worried about me. I'm fine. Today's training is good.

(Time's up.)

Miyabi: ...

Miyabi turns her face back to the screen.

Stern Investigator: Don't you understand? Even if your kid wasn't trapped by the Hollow, there's no way he would've made it. Stop fooling yourself!

Determined Mother: For a mother, only what she sees with her own eyes is real.

Determined Mother: Besides, my child hasn't given up believing in his mother.

Determined Mother: His heartbeat gradually calmed down. He knew I would definitely find him!

(In the movie, the child is once again taken by the Hollow, and the mother's situation becomes increasingly precarious, with the atmosphere growing more desperate.)

(Unlike the tense expressions of those around her, Miyabi's face shows unwavering determination.)

They'll be just fine.

(Movie Rank increase)

Miyabi: Yes, I think so too.

Miyabi: This movie is really well done.

Miyabi: It doesn't cheaply tug at your heartstrings with melodrama. Instead, the mother naturally gets stronger and more capable as the film goes on.

Miyabi: Dodging Ethereals, bargaining with the Hollow Raiders... she's basically a pro by now.

You're looking much better.

(Movie Rank increase)

Miyabi: Really? Maybe that mother is inspiring me.

Miyabi: Even with all the danger along the way...

Miyabi: She's discovering her wisdom and strength at lightning speed.

Miyabi: So they're going to be okay.

(Time's up.)

The two of you remain silent, with your eyes glued to the screen as the movie reaches its climax...

You finish watching "The Heartbeat" with Hoshimi Miyabi...
The film maintains a tight pace while being heartwarming, highlighting the greatness of motherly love through the perilous Hollows — truly touching.

(If no correct choices were made)

Miyabi: That was a good movie... and necessary training.

(‍You can take a break, you know.You can take a break, you know.Text for Wise / You're being way too hard on yourself.You're being way too hard on yourself.Text for Belle‍)

Miyabi: Thank you, but training is like rowing upstream. If you're not moving forward, you're falling behind.

Miyabi: On that note, I should head out. I'll stop by Sixth Street another day.

(If rank Fellow Movie Fans or higher was reached)

Miyabi: Haah...

(Only as the movie ended did Miyabi finally breathe a sigh of relief. Perhaps I picked a film that made her uncomfortable...)

(Even though I'm not sure, I should still try to apologize...)

Ask Miyabi what kind of movies she likes.

Miyabi: I want to watch scary movies. It's necessary training.

Miyabi: Other than that, I don't have a preference. Maybe because I haven't seen as many as you, I still don't know what I like.

Sorry, looks like I picked the wrong movie...

(Movie Rank increase)

Miyabi: No, actually, I'm really glad you brought me to watch this movie.

Miyabi: It's been a good experience — not just because you're here, but also because I learned a lot.

Are you really okay?

Miyabi: Proxy, I know you've got a heavy past. What does that mean for you?

A shackle, yet also a beacon for the future

Miyabi: I can relate. It's the same for me, so you don't have to worry.

(Time's up.)

Miyabi: You don't have to be so careful with me, Proxy. I really appreciate you bringing me to this movie today.

(If rank Popcorn Partners or higher was reached)

Miyabi: Guided by a faint heartbeat, she finds her way through the intertwined hollow and emerges from an abyss of despair.

Miyabi: Being a mother seems to take priority over every other role. I've met a lot of moms, and they're all like that.

Miyabi: Thanks for watching this with me. Now I understand why Soukaku cried.

(If rank Fellow Movie Fans was reached)

Miyabi: Thanks for watching that movie with me.

(If the wrong movie was chosen)

You finish watching the movie with Hoshimi Miyabi, who barely made any comments. Could this also be part of her training?

(After the movie)

Hoshimi Miyabi: ...

...Miss Miyabi?

What do you think?

Hoshimi Miyabi: Great...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Miyabi's ears wiggled slightly... she must be deeply moved.)

Hoshimi Miyabi: The hardships along the way were heart-wrenching, but thankfully the mother and son were reunited in the end.

Hoshimi Miyabi: A movie with a happy ending, how wonderful.

And I'm happy to hear you liked it.

Hoshimi Miyabi: Indeed, I did. If another opportunity presents itself, let's watch it again.

Hoshimi Miyabi: But not for training. I just... want to experience that unwavering strength once more.

Miyabi seems to have something on her mind... Go talk to her.

Hoshimi Miyabi: Now that the movie's over, I should take my leave. Oh, before I go, there's something I'd like to ask you... Does Bangboo have... a heartbeat too?

I'm not sure either...

A Bangboo does have analogous mechanical structures.

Hoshimi Miyabi: Actually, I saw a motionless Bangboo on my way here. It looked like a melon that had fallen from the vine. I thought it was just tired — the Bangboo in our Section sometimes rest like that too — but thinking about it now, its condition seemed off somehow.

Sounds like there might be some malfunction.

Hoshimi Miyabi: If Bangboo had a heartbeat, would fixing that malfunction lift its spirits again?

Of course!

No problem, I'm an old hand at this!

Hoshimi Miyabi: Alright. In that case, I remember where I last encountered it. Let us go there.

(Enter Ether Tuning)

(After completing Ether Tuning)

After a while, the Bangboo stands up!

Repaired Bangboo: Ehn-ne? Ehn-ne-ehn! (Huh... where am I? What just happened?)

Hoshimi Miyabi: We found you lying motionless by the roadside.

Repaired Bangboo: Ehn-na! En-na-ehn... (Ah, I remember now, I was out grocery shopping for Master when I got hit by a bicycle from behind. After that, I...)

Repaired Bangboo: En-nha! (Thank you for saving me! My master is quite elderly by human standards, and without me, she'd not only go hungry at night, but would also have to sleep all alone!)

Looks like we did a good deed.

Looks like we helped your master, too.

Repaired Bangboo: Ehn-na, ehn-ne! (Kind saviors, as much as I'd love to chat more with you all, I have shopping to get back to. Thank you once again!)

The repaired Bangboo waves its tiny hand at us before disappearing around the street corner...

Hoshimi Miyabi: A heart once halted, beats once more under warm hands... What a nice feeling.

Hoshimi Miyabi: Fortunately, watching the movie brought back memories of that incident... and you were there with me too.

That's the magic of cinema for you.

Hoshimi Miyabi: Yeah, I was.

Hoshimi Miyabi: It's getting late. I should head back. Next time we meet, how about you introduce me to some of your favorite movies for a change?

It's a promise, then!

After seeing Miyabi off, time really flew by, it's already evening. You wonder if the theater's showing any new movies at this hour... May as well go check it out.
