Episode 3: A Decadent Life in Paradise

Scene: The shore of the desert island.

Due to the taiyaki that Tamaki was making, the local currency of the cats, called Catcoin, was beginning to circulate, and Tamaki and Mifuyu's kingdoms seemed to be flourishing.

Tamaki
Ah, the bronze statue of me should go a little farther back...

Cat
Meow!

Tamaki
Yes, good work -- here's your Catcoin!

Cat
Meow!

Tamaki
It's done! The bronze statue of me is finally complete!

Tamaki
Nyaah, these cats really are wonderful! Not only do they keep the currency circulating, but they also serve as a workforce... Thanks to them, I can live like the queen of this island without ever having to work!

Tamaki
I'm feeling good, so I'm gonna go play with them!

Mifuyu
Hey, Tamaki! Ah... Well, whatever! I'm going to head to my new training ground! Yuuki, you take it easy by the seaside, too!

An animated cutscene plays, which has no significant dialogue.

Tamaki
Man, I played a lot today! I sure had fun. I'm heading back to Tamaki Palace!

Mifuyu
Yeah, thanks to the cats filling their roles in exchange for those coins, we've wound up living quite the wonderful lives here...

Mifuyu
There's "Tamaki Palace," surrounded by cats... The year-round Bargain Sale to End All Bargain Sales... And my private training ground, plus my relaxation home...

Tamaki
This is simply paradise! It's a mysterious place where everything goes just the way I imagine...

Mifuyu
It also seems like the monsters have gotten docile lately! Yuuki, this is because you've been wishing for a peaceful life, isn't it?

Mifuyu
But, really... It makes me think of what my life was up until now. When we're here, we can do whatever we'd like...

Tamaki
Honestly, it'd be okay if we never left this island.

Mifuyu
It really would. It would be better just to live enjoyable lives here... Yuuki, don't you think so?

Yuuki
1. "Are you serious?"
2. "Yeah, I'd like to stay here forever."

Option 1.

Mifuyu
I'm serious! Hasn't life here been comfortable for you, too?

Option 2.

Tamaki
I totally understand! It's so nice not to have to work... I'd rather take it easy forever, without having to think about anything...

End of branches.

Mifuyu
Living here in harmony, just the three of us -- wouldn't that be a really happy life?

Tamaki
What a great idea! If we're the queens of this island, you'd be the king, Yuuki!

Yuuki
1. "Is it okay to be married to two people?"
2. "I have a bad feeling about this."

Option 1.

Tamaki
Nya ha ha! It's too soon to talk about marriage! But that might not be so bad, either. After all, we can do anything we want here!

Option 2.

Tamaki
Nya ha ha! It's all right! Everything is so much fun here -- just go with the flow, and everything will be fine, without a doubt!

End of branches.

Mifuyu
That's right. This isn't Landsol, after all. This is a dream island where we can live however we'd like!

Mifuyu
Let's forget about all that's happened up until now, and live on in this new world...!

Scene: A guild house in Landsol.

At the same time, in the Mercurius Foundation guild house...

Akino
Yukari, have you still not heard anything from Tamaki and Mifuyu?

Yukari
No, nothing... It seems like something may have happened to them after all...

Akino
So I see... I wonder what could have happened at the Marjan Coast...

Yukari
If they became lost at sea, then it could already be too late... Maybe...

Akino
Now, now, you mustn't say that, even as a joke, yes!? Those two are not nearly so fragile!

Yukari
Y-You're right... I've just been thinking about the worst case. It might be that those two have washed up on some island, and are enjoying a nice vacation!

Akino
Well, even so, I'm worried. But we mustn't act rashly! To start with... The two of us should go gather some information!

Thus, Akino and Yukari set out for the Marjan Coast to look for Tamaki and Mifuyu.
