Steps
- Lycaon is next to the vending machine, deep in thought... Go talk to him.
Dialogue
- (Idle)
- Lycaon: Still no response, huh...
- (Talk to Lycaon)
- Lycaon: Pardon me. I didn't expect to meet you here.
- Lycaon: Do you want to use this vending machine?
Yes, I wanna buy a drink.
- Lycaon: I'm sorry, but it seems that this machine may not be able to dispense the drink you need right now.
- No, I'm here for you.
- Lycaon: I see. But sorry, I might not be able to step away right now...
- Lycaon: I've actually encountered a serious issue.
- Lycaon: But it may seem to be an inappropriate question to ask someone...
- What problem? Just ask me.
- Lycaon: I see. You make a good point. Then, I will ask you my question.
- Do you consider me a random "someone"?
- Lycaon: I'm very sorry. I didn't mean that. Of course, I will ask you my question.
- Lycaon: Let's pretend nothing happened... I'll start over.
- Lycaon turns his back. If you're not mistaken... his tail seems to be wagging. Is he waiting for something?
Better act as if nothing happened and just start a conversation...
The following is recorded in the Partner Archive
"The Wisdom of Life"Story Description: The drink Lycaon purchased is stuck in the vending machine... It appears even the versatile attendant finds himself in unexpected situations sometimes.
- Lycaon: Pardon me. I didn't expect to meet you here.
- Lycaon: If you have the time, might I ask you a question?
- What?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): What do you need? (I don't know if I can help you, though...I don't know if I can help you, though... /
I'll take care of it!I'll take care of it!) - Lycaon: You see, I was intending to purchase some drinks from this vending machine here.
- Lycaon: I inserted sufficient coins into the machine, which indicated that the purchase had been completed — but after that nothing happened.
- Lycaon: Which organization do you think I should contact? Should I go directly to Public Security, or merely contact the company whose information is on the vending machine...
- Shouldn't you be thinking about how to fix it?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): When things like this happen, shouldn't you be thinking about how to fix the (vending machinevending machine /
problemproblem)? - Lycaon: You're right. I can't believe I failed to think of such an obvious answer.
- Lycaon: So then, how do I go about fixing such a vending machine?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): When things like this happen, shouldn't you be thinking about how to fix the (vending machinevending machine /
- You can contact me when things like this happen.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): You can contact me when things like this happen.
- Lycaon: Contact you? You mean to say you're not only an incredible Proxy and the manager at a famous video store—
- Lycaon: But behind the scenes, you're also the owner of a well-known chain of vending machines?
- I just know how to fix these things. That's all!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): You're reading too much into (things.things. /
things!things!) I just know how to fix these things. (That's all.That's all. / That's all!That's all!) - Lycaon: I had no idea you had such... remarkable life skills.
- Lycaon: In your experience then, how might I go about fixing this vending machine?
- (Both choices lead to the following)
- Just give it a good kick!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Just give it a good kick!
- Lycaon: A kick, eh? So that's the trick...mm, something so brilliant could only be ascertained by one of excellence and skill, such as yourself.
- Lycaon: I shall give it a try, then.
- Go for it. I'm watching!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Go for it. I'm (watching.watching. /
watching!watching!) - Lycaon: Then I apologize for my unruliness.
- Lycaon elegantly raises his leg and gives the vending machine a light kick.
The vending machine trembles violently before slowly ejecting a couple of drinks. One... two, three, four...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Go for it. I'm (watching.watching. /
- Maybe you shouldn't.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Maybe you shouldn't. Let me do (it.it. /
it!it!) - Lycaon: To be honest, I was worried I wouldn't be able to control the force of my kick.
- Lycaon: So I'd much rather leave it to you.
- You give the vending machine a good, hard kick like always.
It trembles violently and spits out four different drinks... like always. - Lycaon: Unsurprisingly, you've solved this problem with ease.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Maybe you shouldn't. Let me do (it.it. /
- (Both choices lead to the following)
- So many drinks...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (So many drinks — and all different flavors.So many drinks — and all different flavors. /
So many drinks! And every one a different flavor...So many drinks! And every one a different flavor...) - Lycaon: They're for the other members. But please, have one.
- Lycaon takes out a drink and hands it to you — he is even considerate enough to help you unscrew the lid.
- Lycaon: Thank you for your help. Please consider this a token of my appreciation.
- Lycaon: I should like to keep in touch with you, both as the head of Victoria Housekeeping, and also as your humble friend, Lycaon.
- Lycaon: I'll be sure to again [sic] offer my sincerest gratitude again, when next we meet.

- Lycaon: I look forward to your contact.
- (Talk to Lycaon again, optional)
- Lycaon: Um... Indeed, there are still many life skills I need to learn.
- Lycaon: Like how to fix a vending machine properly...
- Lycaon: Thanks to you, I was able to realize this problem.
