Character Story 1: I Blew My Cover While Keeping Watch

Scene: A street in Landsol.

Kyaru
......

Kyaru
Ahh... Since Her Highness ordered me to observe this guy, I've been hiding, being careful not to get seen... But this guy has just been wandering around aimlessly since morning.

Kyaru
Could it be that he's realized that I'm here? So he's doing all these meaningless things on purpose?

Kyaru
No... But this guy doesn't seem to be that sharp.

Kyaru
My spying should be pretty much perfect. I make a point of erasing my footsteps, and I even use magic to cover up my breathing.

Kyaru
Mm-hmm, no problem at all. I'll definitely be able to carry out this mission.

Kyaru
No matter what, I'm Her Highness's favorite subject. If I finish this assignment skillfully, then... maybe she'll even praise me for it?

Kyaru
But... I'm really getting tired of how little this guy is doing... Ahh, I'm so sick of it, I can't concentrate at all.

A cat meows.

Kyaru
Ah, there's a cat.

Kyaru
Kitty, come here, come here. You're so cute, why don't you become my pet...?

Kyaru
Ah, but I'm in the middle of something important right now.

Kyaru
I'm not a stray like you guys; I'm like a pet... If I don't make myself useful to my master, I'll be thrown out.

Kyaru
Ha ha. Meow, meow, so cute... Huh? That guy is gone!?

Kyaru
Ahh, that guy didn't even leave any trace at all! As soon as I looked away, he disappeared! Where did he go!? This wasn't the right time to be playing with cats!

Kyaru
W-W-What should I do? H-Hah, what if I used scrying magic to look for him?

Kyaru
Grrrrrr... Huh? His magical trace is behind me? So earlier, he literally walked right in front of me?

Kyaru casts a spell.

Kyaru
Huh...? Did I set up the spell wrong? I'm not good at these kinds of spells!

Kyaru
... Ah, this is bad! His trace is coming right at me! I don't think there's enough time to hide!

Yuuki
1. Greet her normally.
2. Scare her.

Option 1.

Kyaru
Ahh... Um, um? H-Hello!

Kyaru
Um, so? N-Nice weather today, huh?

Option 2.

Kyaru
EEEEEEK! Y-Y-You startled me!

Kyaru
Don't screw with me! What are you doing, shouting loudly like that while you run towards me! I thought I was going to have a heart attack! Do you want me to take you out...!?

End of branches.

Kyaru
(Um, um... What do I do? How should I handle this?)

Kyaru
(I've already started talking to him normally, so I can't pretend like he has the wrong person, can I?)

Kyaru
Umm... W-What a coincidence! What are you doing here?

Kyaru
(What do I do, what do I do? All I can do is try to make some vague small talk, and then quickly excuse myself, right? Let's try that!)

Kyaru
Huh? Do I need you for something? You're saying that I've been following you around all morning?

Kyaru
N-No way, you saw that? I thought that my spying was perfect!

Kyaru
No, no, what are you talking about? I haven't been spying on you! Aren't you just being too self-conscious?

Kyaru
Don't say weird things like that. If you mess with me, I'll take you out, you know?

Kyaru
Right, right, as long as you understand! Let's just put this behind us!

Kyaru
... Huh? You're asking for directions? You're lost?

Kyaru
So that's why you came up to me, huh... And that means you've been wandering around all morning just because you were lost? I was getting so tired of that!

Kyaru
Um, where are you trying to go? I'm not that knowledgeable about this city, so I don't think I can show you the way, but...?

Kyaru
No, you know what, I can do it if I try! Do you take me for a fool?

Kyaru
I see, you don't know the way to your hotel?

Kyaru
(Ah, this is a good chance. If I figure out where he's staying, and I move in somewhere nearby, then I can keep track of him, day or night!)

Kyaru
... Okay. I've changed my mind -- I'll show you the way home. We should help each other out in times of trouble, right?

Kyaru
Thank you? No, no, there's no need for thanks!

Kyaru
(Ha ha, what an idiot! Without understanding anything, you're bringing such a dangerous figure to the place where you live. Don't forget that there are even worse people out there than me -- this is an expensive lesson!)

Kyaru
(You're totally defenseless when you're sleeping, so I could cut you or kill you as I pleased! Whatever I wanted to do, I'd be free to do it!)

Kyaru
(Her Highness will definitely praise me for doing a good job!)

Kyaru
Okay, now that it's decided, let's go! Follow me!

Kyaru
No matter what it is, just leave it all to me! Ha ha!
