| Yohira Village, in the eastern part of Karon, is most famous for its annual hydrangea festival. Once a year, visitors flock to the town during its rainy season to see the majestic flowers in full bloom. One visitor, eager to see this year's floral spectacle, is a girl who was herself named for a flower... | |
| Sophie | Sara, Lippy, (user)... Are all of the big round flowers blooming here hydrangeas? |
| Lippy | Indeed they are, Lady Sophie. They're unique among the flowers native to the east in that they bloom during the rainy season. |
| Sophie | So these are hydrangeas... So many little petals, so beautifully arranged... I like them a lot. Look, this one is peach colored. And those over there are blue! |
| Sara | I wonder why the colors vary so much? |
| Lippy | Well, according to the botanist's guide I perused earlier, the nutrients they absorb as they grow affect the color of the petals. |
| Sara | Huh! That's kind of cool. |
| Sophie | I was so sad when Asbel and Cheria said there had been an emergency, and they wouldn't be able to come... But I was so happy when you three said you'd take me instead. Thank you. |
| Sara | It was our pleasure! We're happy to escort you anywhere, Sophie, any time! And since we're here, Let's enjoy the heck out of this festival! |
| Sophie | Yes. Let's. |
| Sara | I'm not sure what's going on, but there seems to be an awful lot of people gathered in the center of town. |
| Lippy | Ah! That must be the exhibition that I heard about. Apparently it's a special event for this year's festival only! |
| Sara | A special exhibition? Of what? |
| Lippy | From what I understand, it's a famous gemstone that played a part in the founding legends of Karon. It's considered a national treasure. The nation's founding hero is said to have offered it to his wife when he proposed. Apparently it has the power to strengthen the bonds between lovers. |
| Sara | Whoa, what a great story! No wonder everyone wants to see it. If we have time to spare, we should go check it out! Sophie, (user)... What do you think? Are you in? |
| Sophie | I'd like to see it. But, can we look at the hydrangeas for a little longer first? |
| Sara | Of course we can! We've got plenty of time. Let's walk around some more, and look at the flowers. |

| Sophie | Those hydrangeas sure were pretty. |
| Lippy | Indeed! The cherry blossoms we saw blooming recently were quite splendid, but there's a unique magnificence to these hydrangea-filled panoramas. |
| Sara | Totally, right? And it's kinda fun walking around at this time of year, when the air's heavy with so much moisture. What's that, (user)? You're glad we came to see this? I am too! |
| (Urrgrrrr...) | |
| Sara | Oh...! |
| Sophie | Was that your stomach growling, Sara? |
| Sara | Heh heh... There's just a really great smell coming from over that way... My stomach couldn't help but comment! |
| Sophie | *Sniff* *sniff*... That does smell good. I wonder what it is? |
| Sara | Well, this is a festival, so... It could be... you know what. |
| Sophie | You know what...? |
| Sara | Exactly. Let's take a look! |
| Sophie | Huh...? |
| Sara | Aha! I knew it! Food stands! |
| Sophie | Food stands? |
| Lippy | Have you never seen the concessions area of a festival before, Sophie? |
| Sophie | No, this is the first time. |
| Lippy | Well, they're basically small businesses that sell food and drink to visitors. |
| Sophie | There sure is a lot happening at festivals. |
| Sara | You bet! You gotta try some of this, Sophie. Shall we get our lunches here? Oh, hey... That girl with her back to us over there! That kinda looks like— |
| Kohaku | Ah, there it is—miso yakisoba! A hydrangea festival original! That sweet miso scent... Mmmmmmmmm. |
| Sophie | Is that... Kohaku? |
| Kohaku | Huh? That voice... Sophie? And Sara too? And Lippy, and (user)?! Whoa! It's been forever, you guys! |
| Sara | How have you been, Kohaku? I can't believe you're here! |
| Kohaku | As if I'd miss the hydrangea festival! The miso yakisoba they sell here is legendary in miso fan circles. |
| Sara | Oh, is that what that is? We just followed our noses here! Do you mind if we join you, Kohaku? It'd give us a chance to catch up! |
| Kohaku | Of course not! Wait here, and I'll order miso yakisoba for everyone. |
| Sara | Thanks, Kohaku. Will you be okay with that, Sophie? |
| Sophie | Yes. I'd like to try it. Is miso yakisoba good? |
| Kohaku | Hee hee! It's gonna be so good that you'll never want to eat crablettes again! Hey, speaking of which... I don't see Asbel or Cheria anywhere. Are you here alone, Sophie? |
| Sophie | Yes... I had planned to come here with Asbel and Cheria, but they were too busy. So I asked (user), Sara and Lippy if they would take me instead, and they said they would. |
| Kohaku | Aww, that's a shame. But at least you were able to come, Sophie! |
| Sophie | Yes. |
| [The crowd suddenly grows louder.] | |
| Lippy | I wonder what's going on? There seems to be quite a lot of commotion all of a sudden. |
| Sara | Has something happened? |
| Kohaku | It seems to be coming from over that way... |
| Sara | I have a bad feeling about this... Should we go check it out? |

| Sara | Looks like the commotion is centered over there. |
| Lippy | I believe that's the stand on which the Founder's Gem was being displayed... |
| Sophie | Founder's Gem...? Oh, the national treasure you told us about. But... I don't see anything here. |
| Sara | Oh, geez... Could someone have swiped the gemstone? |
| Male | S-Sir knight! This way! |
| Leon | How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not on duty! I'm just visiting! |
| Male | Y-Yes, sir, but... I'm afraid I don't know how to handle this situation! We've never had any sort of major theft in our town before! That's why we only stationed a few guards around it... I never imagined anyone would be so brazen as to steal a national treasure right before my eyes! |
| Leon | That's too bad, but it doesn't make me not on vacation, now, does it? Besides, aren't you the mayor here? I'm sure you'll figure something out. |
| Male | Forgive me if I'm mistaken, sir, but are knights not sworn to protect the weak?! I haven't the strength to investigate this matter! I am a lowly functionary beseeching you for help, sir! |
| Leon | So that's the way it's gonna be, huh? ...Fine. |
| Male | G-Good sir! I thank you for— |
| Leon | Let's just get on with it. Tell me exactly what happened. |
| Male | V-Very well, sir. The gem was stolen by a fairy, right before my eyes! |
| Leon | A mischievous fairy...? |
| Male | Mischief fairies are a type of water sprite that appear around this time of year, pulling pranks and causing other water-related mischief. |
| Leon | This display case is dripping wet... That's the mischievous fairy's doing? |
| Male | Y-Yes. That's right. |
| Leon | Have their "pranks and mischief" included larceny before? |
| Male | No, absolutely not! They've never done anything of this magnitude before, and have never shown any interest in things like gems! |
| Sara | Huh! Why would a fairy suddenly decide to swipe the Founder's Gem? |
| Leon | What?! What are you lot doing here? |
| Sara | We've been right behind you this whole time, Leon! It's good to see you again. |
| Lippy | I do hope that you've been well, Master Leon. |
| Kohaku | Hi Leon. |
| Sophie | Hello. |
| Leon | If you've been snooping, then you know all there is to know. You can leave now. |
| Sara | We weren't snooping! We just heard the commotion, and saw you were here, and... Well, it looked like it was something serious, so... Anyway, maybe we can help you find the gem! |
| Leon | It will be easier for me to investigate if I work alone. Let me be clear— you are not to interfere. |
| Kohaku | Yeah, but Leon, there are limits to what you can accomplish working alone. With all of us, you'd have six times the manpower— |
| Leon | My decision is final. There is nothing further to discuss. |
| Lippy | M-Master Leon, wait! |
| Sophie | He's gone... |
| Sara | Leon's always saying stuff like that. We can't let him do this single-handed! |
| Kohaku | Yeah, you're right. Let's follow him. Inconspicuously, of course. We don't want to get in his way. |
| Sara | Absolutely! Come on guys, he went that way! |
| Kohaku | Let's go! |
| Male | Dang! Th-That's freezing! |
| Female | Hey! Who splashed water on me?! You just ruined my nicest dress! |
| Leon | And here I thought I'd have a manhunt on my hands. This miscreant isn't even trying to keep a low profile. I'll have that gem back momentarily. |
| [Whoosh!] | |
| Leon | There! I've got you now, "mischievous fairy." Don't make any sudden moves. |
| Mischievous | Huh? Who are you supposed to be? |
| Leon | I'm here for the gem you stole. Return it at once and I won't hurt you. |
| Mischievous | This thing here? |
| [Slaash!] | |
| Mischievous | H-Hey! What the heck is wrong with you! You can't just suddenly swing your sword at someone like that! |
| Sophie | Everyone, look. It's Leon. |
| Kohaku | And that's gotta be the mischief fairy! |
| Lippy | Dear me! He's fleeing right towards us! |
| Sara | I've got this, Lippy. You! Halt right there! |
| Mischievous | Stand in my way, and you're gonna get wet! Catch, sucker! |
| Sara | Huh? What the heck?! |
| Lippy | L-Lady Sara, step aside! That's a— |
| [Splash!] | |
| Sara | H-Hey! |
| Sophie | A water balloon? I dodged it, but... Now my feet are soaked. |
| Mischievous | So long, suckers! I got better things to do than play with the likes of you! |
| [Whoosh!] | |
| Leon | You're not getting away from me! |
| Kohaku | Leon, wait! |
| Sophie | Leon can sure move fast when he's upset. |
| Lippy | Great Savior! Lady Sara! We might be able to cut them off if we go down this alley! |
| Sara | Oh, you're right! Kohaku, Sophie— this way! |

| The group continues their dogged pursuit of the mischievous fairy... | |
| Mischievous | Outta my way! mischievous fairy coming through! |
| Female | Aahhh! I just got splashed! |
| Male | What the heck?! Did somebody just dump a bucket of water on me? |
| Female | M-My brooch! He took a brooch that's been a family heirloom for generations! Somebody stop that fairy! |
| Lippy | That fairy seems to be as focused on causing mischief as he is on escaping! We need to work together with Leon to capture him as expediently as possible! |
| ???? | I've got you now, fairy! I'll be taking that back. |
| Mischievous | You wish! Like I didn't see your little ambush from a mile away? This is all you're getting! |
| ???? | What?! |
| Mischievous | Enjoy your water balloon, sucker! |
| [Splash!] | |
| ???? | Ahhh! You wretched little... |
| Mischievous | So WATER you gonna do about it? Ha ha! Did you get that? |
| Sara | Are you okay, sir? Here, take my handkerchief... Oh! Asch?! |
| Asch | Sara?! So you're here too. But we've no time to talk. He's going to get away! |
| Sara | Asch, wait! We're chasing that fairy too! Let's work together on this! |
| Sophie | Did the fairy steal something from you too? |
| Asch | That's no business of yours! |
| Sara | But you're not denying it, are you? So... that means he did? |
| Asch | Help me catch him if you want, but spare me your blather! |
| Lippy | It's an honor to be working with you, Master Asch. Let us continue our pursuit! |
| Leon | Halt! You'll not elude me again. This is the end of the road for you. |
| Mischievous | You're not very good at this, are you? You must still be... wet behind the ears! |
| [Splash!] | |
| Leon | Damn it! How many times has he done that?! |
| Mischievous | Ah ha ha! Water looks better on you than gemstones ever will! |
| Leon | Damn you! Get back here! |
| Sara | Ah, glad we finally caught you, Leon! We're here to help! |
| Leon | Again with this nonsense? I've already told you I don't need your so-called— Wait, that red-haired man with you... Is that Asch? |
| Sara | Yeah, I think the fairy got him, too! He's gonna help us chase him down! |
| Leon | I told you, I work best alone. Do as you like, but I'm going on ahead. |
| Lippy | Master Leon, please hear me out! The thief may appear small and weak, but there is no craftier foe than a mischievous fairy! |
| Leon | Are you suggesting that he's capable of outsmarting me?! |
| Lippy | I'm making no such assertion, Master Leon. I'm merely saying that chasing blindly after him will not end in success. I may be but a lowly sprite, but I know the ways of the fae. I wish only to offer you my counsel. |
| Leon | And what would you suggest we do? |
| Lippy | I believe that we will need to work as a team in order to catch him. |
| Leon | And I suppose that's what you desire as well, (user)? Fine, then. But on this one matter only! |
| Lippy | I thank you, Master Leon. You will not regret this. |
| Kohaku | Leon, Asch... You two are both soaked! We should get you changed before you catch a cold! |
| Asch | We'll dry in due time. What matters is catching that fairy. |
| Leon | A little water won't slow me down. |
| Lippy | If you would all wait for just a moment... |
| Sara | What is it, Lippy? |
| Lippy | I happen to have an assortment of waterproof apparel with me! |
| Kohaku | You do? That's incredible, Lippy! You really do think of everything! |
| Lippy | Why this is exactly the sort of scenario an adventurer must be prepared for at all times! Right this way, please! |
