I understand.
I'm sorry, dear.
Although this crisis has been averted...
I cannot return just yet. This world needs more time...
more time to recover from the destructive influence
of the Doomstones that have already fallen.
I must remain here until it is fully restored.
You know my love for this place, Divinus.
Reveria looks far more beautiful when viewed
from here.
I would like our daughters to see it like this.
I want to protect this land so that they may
experience its beauty.
I shall stay here and guide the people of Reveria.
Their lives are so short and often marred by strife,
by fighting...and by sadness.
But I will teach them another way of Life.
One where people can work together to help make
each other's wishes and dreams come true.
I will show them how enjoyable Life can be.
And from there, Reveria's inner beauty will be visible
throughout all the kingdoms...
Not just from great heights such as these...
but even where the grass grows, the sand blows,
and the rivers flow.
My stubborn little Yuelia, and my crying baby Noelia,
I will make this a world you will love.
A world in which you, and the people of Reveria,
can fulfill all of your deepest and dearest wishes.
— Tale of Lunares — 35
Oh, you girls have made me so proud...
Who else would it be? You did call upon me, did
you not?
Ha ha. Yes, well...the power of wishes is stronger
at some times than at other times.
You could ask yourselves, my dears—what is a dream
but a manifestation of our desires?
By that definition, is my appearing before you not a
splendid dream of your own doing?
Or perhaps it is my own desire. And my own dream
to gaze upon the two of you again.
Yuelia, my child...ask yourself what makes up the
"power of wishes" you seek so dearly?
Or, put another way, what do you think makes
people truly happy?
Collecting Stars? Amassing Dosh? Gathering Bliss?
Is it as simple as accumulating the knowledge of a
hard day's work in one's Life? Or is it more?
Perhaps meeting someone special and finding you
care about that person...more than yourself?
There are many ways to lead a fulfilling Life. So how
do people express their happiness in Life?
Ha ha. Yes, I wouldn't have used those words, but...
they smile. They also cry.
And if you're able to gather the power behind the
tears, behind the smiles, and combine them...
Well...again, not quite how I would put it. But yes, I
guess there is a crafting of happiness at work here.
OK, well, first of all, let's stop referring to it as a
"stew." That would just help me in explaining this.
Think about the destruction of Reveria. Quite a sad
thing that would create many tears, wouldn't it?
And should that same planet be saved, there is
happiness everywhere...and still there are tears!
Do you see, Noelia? It looks like there might be a
small drop of happiness in your eyes right now.
And therein lies the true nature of tears, my darling.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Yuelia, you are adorable. Let me ask this: Did both
of you shed tears of any kind on Reveria?
I'm sure. And you both laughed a lot while you were
on Reveria too, did you not?
Some of my best friends are "weirdos."
Did either of you laugh so much you cried?
だから ハッピーのかけらもね 涙。
涙はね 悲しいだけじゃないの。
笑って 笑って 心の底から うれしくて
そうやって こぼれおちる涙。
When that happens, that is how you know the power
of true joy.
And that is when you experience the secret power
that can save the world.
The power of one's wishes can be felt through the
tears of joy as well as the tears of sadness.
While you are experiencing such tears, you can know
you are in the presence of great wishes.
Good-bye, my dears. Stew or soup...however you
need to look at it is fine.
I shall be with you always, in everything you do.
And I think we will see one another again in
another dream...
Flutter 047 28
You called?
Did I hear my name?
Should I come back later?
I'm still exploring this. But I do know I can only
maintain my form for a certain period of time.
But perhaps one day I shall be able to remain like
this indefinitely.
My ability to form here is due in large part to
Grace's devotion as a Shrine Maiden.
Thank you for all your work, my dear. Your training
must have been most challenging.
Speaking of training, I have something to share with
you, [Player].
You've heard the tale of many brave warriors who
failed while fighting inside this tower? Well...it's true.
No, that's not what I mean.
This tower has always been a place where warriors
conduct their training.
Do you remember the three doors in this tower's
Trial Chamber?
Through those doors lie three separate trials. Each
one eventually leads to the very top of this tower.
They are known as the Trial of Bunnies, the
Trial of Cubs, and the Trial of Froggies.
How dare you question my knowledge, Grace!
Tee hee! I'm sorry—I'm just kidding. I really shouldn't
do that. Those were the names my husband wanted.
Regardless of what they're called, each path is filled
with formidable monsters.
There were some brave warriors who were never
able to reach the top.
Well...when I say that they were never able to, I mean
they just had to start the whole thing over again.
As long as you're all here, why not try your hand at
one of the trials, [Player]?
First of all, I'll open up the door to the easiest trial,
the Trial of Time. But by "easiest" I really mean...
least difficult. These trials are not for the weak. It
behooves one to bring one's friends.
If your party is strong enough to succeed, you may
be able to open the doors to the other trials.
So do your best to put together a strong group of
your friends before taking on the trials.
Alas, it seems my time here is running out.
I shall have a reward waiting for you at the end of
the Trial of Light.
Please take this in case you ever need a slice of
encouragement. These were Yuelia's favorite.
Of course I did! How could a mother forget one of
her daughter's favorite things?
May fortune smile upon you all... And, you know,
other things you would expect a goddess to say.
Oh, sorry! I forgot to mention something!
If you call me from the Goddess Statue atop the
tower, it will return you to the Trial Chamber.
You don't have to worry about making your way
back down, so give it your all on the way up!
— Origin Island — 109
Did you call upon me, child?
Hello, my dear daughter.
It's me, darling. Your mother.
Oh my...it has been quite some time since I've been
inside a body this young. It's wonderful!
Oh, every now and then the circumstances present
themselves that allow me to borrow a body for a bit.
It takes the honesty of a true heart opening itself...
That is much more rare than one would like to think
in this day and age.
Fret not, dear Yuelia.
Grace is here. And she is warm and safe.
I have more than one way of appearing before
you, child.
All I need is a vessel for a mystical power.
Much like a Crystal of Wishes...
A Shrine Maiden with an open heart does nicely for
that, you know.
I used to do this to your father sometimes when we'd
get into arguments.
And why not?! Sometimes his hubris would get out
of hand. I'd wait for him to fall asleep...
Oh, he hated it so much!
One time I left his body on a flying carpet near the
outskirts of Al Maajik. He was mad for decades...
This body is very powerful. I can sense how hard
Grace has worked in her Shrine Maiden training.
I can tell. For it is by her power that I am able to be
here in the first place.
Now, when I mentioned I have other ways of
appearing before you...
Hmm... No, now is not the time for that.
Listen to me, Yuelia. The true cause of what is
happening right now is...
It's all because of what happened between...
Hmm... No, actually, now is not the right time for
that, either...
For now, I shall attempt to restore Dogu back to
his usual self. How about that?
I think I may be able to reduce his power slightly...to
a more manageable level.
And we can discuss the other stuff later.
No... Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I am able to
completely restore him.
It appears he is still being somewhat influenced by
the power of autosuggestion.
Now, Yuelia. Snark does not become a lady. I was
saying that Dogu is being hypnotized in a way...
I'm afraid it's not that simple. The grip on Dogu is
quite strong, as it's a reflection of his own strength.
Perhaps the two of you can come up with a solution.
Let's do it!
Be as gentle as you can.
My dears, time is of the essence. So...hurry up.
Oh my, what a majestic-looking youth. And what is
your name?
Now we can all breathe a sigh of relief.
Well, this was fun while it lasted.
Time to give Grace her body back.
How do you feel, my dear? I hope I didn't overstay
my welcome.
You've done very well, my dear Grace.
Yes, my dear, it all is quite like a dream! Just imagine
we're having a lovely dream chat.
I do, my dear. Yuelia and [Player] share your
faith. With it, they even saved the world.
Noelia...
Noelia, dear! It's OK. Tears were meant to flow. Let
them out, my child.
These are my two lovely daughters, Sir Leo. I thank
you for showing them the respect they deserve.
It's all thanks to Grace. I am glad to see you looking
so well, Noelia.
You may do what you need to do to make yourself
feel content, my darling.
Noelia, why are you so angry? What are you getting
at here?
I'm sorry, Yuelia.
I'm afraid it's the truth. I couldn't be honest before...
I was too embarrassed.
Dearest? You opened up this can of worms. I think
maybe I'll just let you explain.
I think it would be best hearing it from the one who
brought it up in the first place, don't you?
Nobody is asking for a drawing. Your subjects,
including your daughters, are simply asking for a—
I bawled my eyes out, clasping Dogu close to me.
Unfortunately, at the time, I was very...distressed.
All I was thinking was...
"I don't ever want to see him again! I don't want to
see ANYONE ever again!"
未使用
I was young. I was spiteful. All I wanted was revenge.
I think it has already been decided, Dogu.
I'm sure you know that your creator cares for you
very much.
After the disturbance, the islanders were ready to
think Dogu was some sort of demon.
So to protect you from their wrath, your creator
made up a cover story...or a cover legend.
I'm so sorry.
A fine thing she didn't inherit your artistic skills.
Yes, well, so is octopus tongue. That doesn't mean
it's good.
Poor Dogu...
Yes, that's true.
It is indeed a secret I have held on to for many years.
I used to be a human.
Oh, what's the big deal, dearest? We've come this
far. We might as well tell them everything.
Did you know your father proposed to me right here
in this very spot?
It was while performing my duties as a Shrine Maiden.
Yep. And when he proposed to me, well...let's just
say I was in a real existential pickle.
And not a tasty one.
I mean, of course I was flattered, but to marry a god
meant...a bit of a Lifestyle change.
To be the wife of a god, you pretty much have to be
a goddess.
I didn't know what to do. I wrestled with the decision
all alone...all day and every night.
And one night, just before the break of dawn, I saw
a shooting star streak across the sky...and I knew.
I would be with the one I loved and use the power
he granted me for the good of the world.
Can I get back to my story?
I had just one condition for accepting his proposal.
Each year, I would get to be human again for one
day. One special day to spend with him as a human.
And then he went and FORGOT about that day!
My dear husband is using Dogu as a puppet!
Yes, dear, you can practice your routine another
time. I already forgave you, remember?
He flew to my side to grovel at my feet.
I don't.
By that time, I'd already calmed down and was
feeling quite sheepish. So I told him I wasn't angry.
But, Dogu, I think we should respect your wish. Tell
us what you would like.
Very well, Dogu.
You know what my husband said to me while he was
sealing Dogu's memories the last time?
*whisper whisper whisper* *Love forever.* *whisper*
Grace, it looks like you've got your Dogu back. Just
as good as new.
The mushy line is only really a phrase...just words.
Perhaps Dogu actually did the sealing himself.
You do seem to leave that behind quite a bit after
personal conversations.
Yes, dear. It really makes my heart swell to see that
you girls have grown up into such wonderful people.
Oh. You don't remember?
I'm sorry—I thought you already knew I brought you
to this island many times when you were young.
Seeing you two run around here was wonderful. You
were so cute and so filled with joy...
Well, on that note, I think it's time for me to go.
Don't worry, Noelia, dear...
As I said earlier, I have many ways of appearing
before you in this world.
Those with Shrine Maiden powers can communicate
with each other through dreams. Remember that.
Noelia, you've been meeting me in your dreams too.
I guess the chocolate was a bigger deal...
Hee hee. Yes, my dear. Well, I'm glad to help in any
way I can.
Speaking of sleep, this whole multidimensional-
travel thing is quite exhausting.
I shall take my leave now. I wish you all many happy
days of peace here on Origin Island.
Can you hear me...?
...[Player].
Thank you for all you've done, [Player]. Thanks to
your efforts, our beautiful land is now at peace.
I know my little girl and all the people of the land
have a special place for you in their hearts.
Please continue to enjoy Life on Reveria...and keep
an eye on my girls, won't you?
Ancient Tower - Top Floor 8
Ah, young [Player].
Good to see you again.
Is there something I can do for you?
[Choice: $$To the entrance! / Nothing]
Ah, young [Player].
Good to see you again.
Is there something I can do for you?
[Choice: Add to party / $$To the entrance! / Nothing]
Oh, how splendid. Just give me a moment to
prepare, if you don't mind.
And...I'm ready. Sorry to keep you waiting. Now,
where shall we go?
Very well. You want to return to the Trial Chamber,
right?
[Choice: Yes / Actually...no]
All right, then! If you just close your eyes, we'll be
on our way.
Oh, all right then. Just call me if you need
anything else.
Thank you for taking the time to come and see me.
You're such a kind soul, [Player].
Trial of Time - Top Floor 5
Oh, excellent. Just give me a moment to prepare
myself...
There we are! Sorry to keep you waiting.
Shall we go?
That's no problem at all. You want to return to the
Trial Chamber, right?
[Choice: Yep, please / Actually...no]
All right, then. If you close your eyes, we'll be
on our way.
Very well. Please give me a call if you require
anything else.
Trial of Light - Top Floor 2
[Player]! You have conquered the
Trial of Light!
This is a momentous occasion. I am honor bound
to offer you a special reward.
The thing is—oh, this is shameful to admit—I have
not prepared the reward.
See, I knew you were skilled...but it appears I have
still underestimated you.
Just give me a moment. Let me think. You deserve
something precious...something DIVINE...
How's this?
Oh ho ho! Perhaps referring to myself as "divine"
and "precious" was a bit much.
But on the other hand, I AM divine! In any case, I
can finally walk the world freely again.
And I can't think of a better companion than you.
If you'll have me, of course.
So if you ever want to have me accompany you
on an adventure, simply visit the Goddess Statue.
I'll be waiting. I hope you do drop by sometime.
