Episode 5: Let My Feelings Reach You
After splitting up to search for the plushies, the group reconvened at their meeting spot on the beach.
Kaori
Yuuki, Makoto, welcome back!
Makoto
Thanks. Good to see you all. How'd things go?
Kaori
We didn't find anything...
Makoto
I see... We managed to get two of them back, but there's still a lot more out there.
Kaori
It'll be getting dark soon, so let's leave it there for tonight. We were able to gather some firewood while we were looking earlier!
Makoto
Ah, good thinking, Kaori. But couldn't we just stay the night in that fishing village?
Kaori
This is what Maho wanted to do. She said that maybe the plushies would come back here on their own!
Makoto
... I see. Well, camping out by the seaside feels pretty summery, so I'm fine with that, too. But where'd the Princess go, anyway? I don't see her around here.
Kaori
She said she was going for a walk by the sea. She went off that way, holding Arthur in her arms.
Makoto
Hmm, I hope she doesn't get too down in the dumps...
Kaori
Hey, Yuuki, Yuuki, can I ask you to do something?
Yuuki
1. "What is it?"
2. "I'm on it."
Option 1.
Kaori
Could you try to cheer up Maho? Her heart must be aching, after losing so many precious things to her...
Kaori
If you're there, then I'm sure you'll be able to ease her pain. You've always done the same for me, after all!
Option 2.
Kaori
You're great, Yuuki! You know what I was thinking about without me even saying it -- how charming! I think I'm falling in love!
End of branches.
Kaori
Then, please, take good care of Maho!
Makoto
We'll be setting up camp here. It'll be getting dark soon, so come back before long, okay?
Later.
Maho
......
Maho
Ah, Mister Prince. Did you come to find me?
Maho
I'm sorry for getting you wrapped up in such trouble.
Yuuki
1. "It's no trouble at all."
Maho
That's Lancelot and Gawain! You brought them back to me? Thank you.
Maho
......
Maho
You know, it's not like I'm feeling depressed or anything.
Maho
I've just been thinking a few things over.
Maho
Kaori said this earlier, right? Things that are shown lots of love always have good-natured souls within them.
Maho
If that's true, then perhaps this means my feelings weren't strong enough.
Maho
I've always been trying to talk to them every day, to look after them, and to cherish them...
Maho
But I feel as though those feelings of mine must not have reached them, somehow.
Maho
That must be true, no? Because if good-natured souls resided within them, then... they would never have fallen prey to an evil spirit like the majimun, no?
Maho
All of the things I've done up until now have just been...
Yuuki
1. "I think your feelings surely reached them."
Maho
Huh...?
Maho
Mister Prince...?
Yuuki
1. Comfort Maho.
Maho
How strange. I'd felt so insecure about so many things just now.
Maho
But when I feel you patting my head, all of the thoughts whirling around in my head feel like they've been carried away by a comforting breeze.
Maho
I can feel the stinging pain in my heart melting away, and being replaced by warmth.
Maho
Thank you so much.
Maho
Mister Prince, you truly are...
Maho
My dear, cherished prince.
Maho
The sunset is so beautiful.
Maho
It's a little saddening to see the sun sinking below the sea, but with you by my side, I don't feel forlorn at all...
Plushies
......
Maho
My, my... It looks like this will be a more lively gathering than I'd thought.
Maho
We are completely surrounded.
Maho
One, two, three... The numbers seem about right. This is everyone else who had vanished.
Maho
Everyone! Can you hear my voice? You mustn't do such evil deeds. If my feelings can reach you, then don't give in to the majimun -- come back to me!
Plushies
......!
Makoto
Princess!
Maho
Makoto, Kaori, you came!?
Makoto
I was worried about how long you'd been out here, so I came to check. Looks like my timing was right!
Kaori
This is starting to feel like a festival! I feel like dancing!
Makoto
That can wait until after we've done something about all these! They're coming, Kaori!
Kaori
I know!
Maho
Makoto, Kaori...
Makoto
We're all ready for dinner back at camp! Let's get your friends back, so that we can continue our vacation!
Kaori
I haven't had enough fun yet! I want to go on swimming, running, and dancing with everyone!
Makoto
Let's go, Princess!
Kaori
Here we go, Maho!
Maho
I truly have such wonderful friends...!
Yuuki
1. "Let's go!"
All Three
Yeah!
