Opening: Disturbing Visitors
Scene: The farm at Elizabeth Park.
It was another tranquil day on the farm, as Mahiru returned from selling at the market.
Mahiru
I'm home!
Rin
Welcome back.
Mahiru
Oho? It's sure rare to see you out to greet me, Rinrin. You must've been super looking forward to seeing me back.
Rin
C'mon, it's not like I was waiting for you specifically. It's just that the game I ordered should be delivered any minute now, so I came out to get it.
Mahiru
Hey, if you've got that much time to kill, why not come to town to peddle our stuff with me? It's fun.
Rin
I'll pass on that. I'm not cut out for lugging all those heavy crates back and forth from town practically every day.
Mahiru
But all that heaviness is nothing, if it lets you see smiles on the townspeople's faces.
Mahiru
Plus, everyone always buys tons of our stuff, so we've only got a light load on the way home! After we sell out of everything, even you'd be able to pull the cart back, Rinrin.
Rin
Nah, Lima would be better for that. You would, too, Mahi.
Mahiru
Lima's got plenty of other work to do, though. Not to mention, we can't bring her to places where there are lots of people.
Rin
We're cool with her, so I think it'll be fine. Like, they'll get used to it.
Shiori
I'm finished patrolling, Rin... Ah, Mahiru. You're back earlier than usual today.
Mahiru
Yep, I'm back, Shioshio. Yeah, our "Elizabeth Park"-branded products were just flying off the shelves today. Before I knew it, everything I'd been able to carry with me was all sold out.
Shiori
I wish I could help more, myself, but... I think I'd only end up being deadweight.
Mahiru
You work super hard at everything else you do, Shioshio, so don't sweat it. I'm just gonna get Rinrin to help me with the peddling, instead.
Rin
Hey, don't do me like that. That ought to be Lima's job. Rinrin and Limalima even sound alike, so it's practically the same.
Mahiru
Now you're just talking nonsense. But well, maybe it'd be okay if I had Limalima help me, too...
Rin
Then, let's ask Lima now! Where's she at?
Shiori
I came across Lima taking a comfortable-looking nap over in the woods earlier.
Rin
I can't believe she went to slack off without me. Totally unacceptable.
Mahiru
Don't say things like that... Lima does a lot of manual labor, so it's understandable for her to take a nap every so often.
Rin
Ehh, that's not fair.
Mahiru
What's really not fair is you, Rinrin...
Rin
Ah, I think the game is here!
Mahiru
Hey, I wasn't done talking! Honestly, that Rinrin sure can be trouble.
Rin
Games, games! I'm gonna be up all night tonight!
???
......
Rin
I guess... you're not here to deliver my game, huh?
???
I'm here to confiscate your livestock.
Rin
Wha? Confish... cate?
Rin
Hey, wait!
???
......
Mahiru
W-Who are these people!? Where did they all come from!?
Shiori
Are we surrounded!?
???
You must be the guild master of Elizabeth Park.
Mahiru
Y-Yes. I'm the guild master, so can you tell me what you're here for?
Rin
Mahi, he said he was gonna confish-cate our livestock!
Mahiru
Huh...? Confiscate, as in, you're going to take away our cows and other animals? W-Why!?
???
Do not resist. We will use force if we must.
Mahiru
It doesn't seem like I could resist even if I tried...
Shiori
Mahiru! Over there! They're loading our cows onto that cart over there!?
Mahiru
W-Wha!? They are! Stop! Stop it...!!
???
I already said not to resist. Now.
???
Yes.
Mahiru
Whoa!?
Rin
Watch out!
Rin
That was close... What was that all about?
???
She evaded it...?
Rin
I'll be fine -- Shiorin, lower your bow.
Shiori
But...!
Mahiru
Do as Rinrin says. Nothing would be worse than if you were hurt because of me.
Shiori
... All right.
Mahiru
Now, all of you. Why are you taking our cows all of a sudden? Explain the situation to us.
???
This is a foreclosure.
Mahiru
... A foreclosure?
Shiori
A foreclosure...
Rin
A foreclosure...?
Mahiru & Others
A foreclosure!?
Begin animated cutscene.
Person in Cart 1
... They really just handed everything over! It's all empty now!
Lima
The farm... Empty!? W-What's going on!? I thought I was napping in the forest -- how did I end up in this cart!?
Person in Cart 2
And did you see it? That incredible armor-wearing thing we got?
Lima
Eh? Are they talking about me? Hey -- wait, what do you mean by "thing"!?
Person in Cart 1
Yeah, that white cow. I can't believe how big it is.
Person in Cart 2
It was sleeping on the job. What a nice life.
Lima
WHAT DID YOU SAY!?
Lima
Hey, stop this cart! I'm not a cow!
Person in Cart 1
Hey, did you hear a girl's voice just now?
Person in Cart 2
There's no way. There's nothing but cows back there. Ha ha!
Lima
Like I said, I'm not a cow!
