Character Story 6: Let's Go Found a Guild!
Scene: A street in Landsol.
Pecorine
Heya, Yuuki!
Pecorine
How are you doing? Pardon me for specially calling you here!
Pecorine
The weather certainly is nice today! It's a little hot, so it's a good day for ice cream!
Pecorine
Please take a look! It's so hard to choose between flavors, so I'm just going to put them all on one cone!
Pecorine
I've conquered all the flavors! Look at all the colors -- they're so pretty!
Pecorine
I might have been a little too greedy -- the stacked ice cream is even taller than me now! Terrible, huh?
Pecorine
Ahh, I can't see in front of me! Yuuki, say something, please!
Yuuki
1. "Hi, Peco."
2. "Won't you get an upset stomach?"
Option 1.
Pecorine
Hi there!
Pecorine
Lately, you've been calling me "Peco" for short, huh?
Pecorine
It feels more intimate, so it makes me happy! Can I shorten your name, too?
Option 2.
Pecorine
Ha ha. Not at all! My digestive tract is reinforced!
Pecorine
The entire world will collapse before my digestive system does!
Pecorine
Of course, if you eat too much ice cream, your body will also get colder.
Pecorine
But the calories you absorb from it will warm you right back up!
End of branches.
Pecorine
Oh, oh... Wait just a minute -- I'm splitting my attention talking to you, and I think the ice cream is about to fall!
Pecorine
It would be a disaster if the ice cream were to fall!
Pecorine
I'll eat it all right away! Om nom nom... So tasty!
Pecorine
Eek! I ate too much at once, and my head got all frozen! Ow...
Pecorine
Ah, but that was so satisfying... The inventor of ice cream was seriously a genius -- a savior of humanity!
Pecorine
Oh, my mouth got all dirty... Let me wipe it off with a hankerchief. Hee hee, I'm really a mess...
Pecorine
Wait, I didn't just come here to eat ice cream!
Pecorine
Today, I wanted to first talk you through the process of founding a guild, before sending you to the government office to file the paperwork!
Pecorine
Hee hee. I keep thinking of how you're going to be guildmates with me, plus how much you've already helped me out with this and that.
Pecorine
No matter what it is, if I'm doing it along with someone else, it feels fun to me.
Pecorine
That's the reason why I had the idea of forming this guild.
Pecorine
I've always been moving from place to place, living the life of a drifter. But in the end, I'd really like to have a place to call home.
Pecorine
Even though the guild deposit is coming out of my adventuring fund... Well, if I just work a little more to make the money back, it should all work out.
Pecorine
Anyway... I think there shouldn't be any problems. But if anyone from the guild office sees me, it might cause a pretty big uproar.
Pecorine
So that's why I'd like you to deliver these for me.
Pecorine
I know that you have amnesia, so you might not be able to handle complicated things. But all you need to do is deliver the materials to the person at the official affairs counter.
Pecorine
I'll also go with you to the office, but I'll be standing off to the side, hiding my face and waiting.
Pecorine
If you run into any problems, let me know with a signal.
Pecorine
That's the plan. Okay?
Pecorine
Then, let's go!
Scene: Landsol guild offices.
Public Official
Yes. We've received your paperwork without issue.
Public Official
We'll certify the contents of your paperwork, and then we'll inform you of whether your application has been approved.
Public Official
We will communicate the decision by mail, so please give me the address of the applicant.
Pecorine
(Do your best, Yuuki!)
Pecorine
(Huh? He's making a troubled face in my direction!)
Pecorine
(What could it be? He's mouthing something at me...?)
Pecorine
("I l-o-v-e y-o-u", is it? My, how bold!)
Pecorine
(I love you, too, Yuuki! Just as much as I love barbecued meats!)
Pecorine
(Hmm...? No, that's not it. He's asking what to do about my address?)
Pecorine
(Oops -- I hadn't thought of that! He said that he's been living at the inn, so he doesn't have an address of his own -- and I'm pretty much in the same situation.)
Pecorine
(Umm... Could I try to use my manager's address to receive the notification?)
Pecorine
(Let me write the address down on a small memo, and try to discreetly hand it to Yuuki...)
Pecorine
(Hey, Yuuki, over here!)
Pecorine tries to approach Yuuki.
Public Official
Huh? You... Could it be?
Pecorine
Eep! Um, no, you must have the wrong person!
Pecorine
I-I-I'm not Eustiana, I'm the one with the rumbling stomach, Pecorine!
Public Official
So, so it's you! The wanted criminal! This is an emergency -- someone arrest her!
Pecorine
S-S-Sorry! I'm going ahead, Yuuki!
Pecorine
After this, I'll take you out to a nice place to thank you! Same time as usual -- wait for me in the usual place!
Pecorine flees.
Public Official
Stop! You're the one who's been fraudulently using Her Majesty's name!
Pecorine
No, no, this is a misunderstanding! Her Majesty is the real fraud! Even though I can't really explain it well!
Pecorine
Ahh, why doesn't anyone believe me!?
