Episode 2: An Eyewitness to Many Things

Scene: The Landsol town square.

Ayumi
... Stare...

Kasumi
(Watching from behind...? Who is she? This girl...)

Kasumi
(It looks like she's watching my assistant... How curious.)

Makoto
Hey, Kasumi, let's go. We're losing sight of Yuuki.

Man 1
Ahhhh! The carriage is coming loose!

Kasumi & Makoto
What!?

Man 2
No, the horse isn't listening to me!! Everyone! Run away!!

Man 1
Run! It's dangerous!

Kasumi
No, we were too slow! The horse is right in front of my assistant!

Makoto
I can still make it -- let me handle this!! Haaa!!

Kasumi
Makoto!!

Makoto
Yuuki, grab on! I'm jumping -- hiyaah!

Makoto
... Whew, just in time. That gave me chills.

Makoto
But I'm not sure what happened. As far as I can see, it was only the one horse going out of control.

Makoto
If I hadn't heard your story, Yuuki, I'd also think it was just an unfortunate accident.

Makoto
Just like Kasumi said, we're really dealing with a person of mystery.

Makoto
But don't worry about a thing. We'll protect you no matter what.

Yuuki
1. "Thanks for saving me."
2. "My face is warm."

Option 1.

Makoto
No need for thanks. This is why I've been watching over you in the first place.

Makoto
And anyway, if anything happened to you, Yui would be sad.

Makoto
Huh? Wouldn't I be sad, too? I mean, obviously I would, right?

Makoto
But Yui's sadness would have a different meaning, like... Ahh, man, this is annoying! Let's talk about this later!

Option 2.

Makoto
Huh? What do you mean, your face is warm... Ahh, m-my chest!? Wahhh!?

Makoto
W-What's the big idea, saying something like that all of a sudden... I'm putting you down, all right!?

Makoto
Honestly... Forget what you just felt! Bury it all forever, you hear!!

End of branches.

Makoto
There. Ah... The house that the carriage crashed into is totally wrecked. If I hadn't gotten you out of the way, you would been done for. That was seriously close.

Ayumi
......

Kasumi
You over there. What are you doing, secretly watching the site of an accident like that?

Ayumi
Eep!? Um, um... well, um...!

Kasumi
How suspicious... Is there some unspeakable reason why you were watching from here?

Ayumi
N-No! Um, uh, I, I was...! I would never do anything suspicioooous!

Kasumi
No matter how I look at it, you're suspicious... Then let me ask you again, what were you doing here?

Ayumi
Um, uh, well! Standing here is, um, like, my hobby!

Kasumi
... Do you think I'd believe a reason like that?

Ayumi
Umm, c-could you?

Kasumi
I can't!

Ayumi
Ooooh! B-But, um, it really is a part of my hobby!

Kasumi
Too suspicious! You're under arrest!

Ayumi
E-Eeeeek!?

Makoto
Hey, Kasumi, what's happened!?

Ayumi
Ah, Yuuki!

Kasumi
Y-You're an acquaintance of my assistant's, too!? So, you were watching him...!

Ayumi
Ooh, w-well...

Kasumi
Why were you watching my assistant? Answer the question!

Ayumi
I... I can't say that in front of him...

Ayumi
I can't say it! I'm sorryyyy!

Kasumi
Hey, stop! Ooh, she got away...!
