Ahhhh, boys will indeed be boys. Leo, Odin, and Xander are all… very much like teenage boys here. I’ve gotta say, when it comes to women, Laslow is surprisingly much more, um… MENTALLY RESILIENT compared to all the other guys here. Except Niles, of course. I thought that he’d be the most embarrassed, but somehow our shy womanizer is either very disciplined or very… used to such things? Hmmm… So some bad news: this is the last track that I can post with an audio link. The tracks on soundcloud are slowly being blocked from American users. So far, this one still appears to be safe. Audio by @sahdmadhi HERE. Laslow, what are you not telling us EDIT: Small change with the last couple lines.

So I’m redoing this post altogether because it seems that… there’s just something wrong with it. It refuses to link properly in the masterlist, and the post itself doesn’t show up at all in any of the tags’ dashboards. I don’t know if it’s because of the change in theme, or if it’s something that happens on Tumblr in general. Either way, I’m just going to delete the old one and then repost it here. Sorry, and thank you for your understanding.

TRACK 4: CALM DOWN, MY IMAGINATION!

CHARACTERS: Flora, Charlotte, F!Kamui, Odin, Felicia, Laslow, Niles, Leo, Xander

(Flora knocks to the door of Kamui’s room.)

Flora: Lady Kamui? It’s Flora and Charlotte. ……… *knocks again* Lady Kamui?

Charlotte: There’s no answer, huh?

Flora: I wonder if she left the room?

Charlotte: Geez. They said that she needed us right away so we scrambled to get ready, and now she’s not even here. Kind of anticlimactic.

Flora: Heh. I guess it can’t be helped. Let’s wait here for a little while.

Charlotte: Guess so.

(Running footsteps approach.)

F!Kamui: Floraaaa! Charlooootte!

Flora: Huh? Oh! Lady Kamui!

(Kamui pants as she approaches. She clearly came running at full speed.)

F!Kamui: *still panting* I’m sorry…! I kept you waiting…!

Charlotte: Awww, don’t be silly~ We didn’t wait long at aaaall~ Right, Floraaa~?

Flora: Eh? Yes!

F!Kamui: *sighs in relief* That’s a relief. I was making a few preparations myself.

Charlotte: Preparations?

Flora: Hm? *bends over to check what Kamui’s holding* A Bottle, a Frying Pan, and Chopsticks…

Charlotte: So a sword, an axe, and a knife… Well, they’re certainly all weapons that we can use, but… Why do you have only these junky—I mean, lower-leveled weapons?

Flora: U-Um, Lady Kamui…

F!Kamui: Yes?

Flora: I heard that this was supposed to be a mission with a detached force, but what exactly is it that we have to do? Could it be… it’s supposed to be something off the record? For example, something personal for King Garon…

F!Kamui: Eh? Ah, no! It has nothing to do with Father.

Charlotte: But the weapons we have to use look rather bad, and you’ve said nothing to Lord Xander and the others… The two of us are getting just a liiiiittle bit concerned…

F!Kamui: Oh! I’m sorry. I must have made you so anxious. It’s true that I haven’t given anyone a concrete explanation yet, but to tell the truth, this is something that I really need you two for. Plus, this isn’t a fighting mission or anything like that.

Flora: This isn’t something we need to fight for…?

F!Kamui: Yes! This is something centered on the people on the detached force and what I want them to do. And that’s…

Flora: And that’s…?

F!Kamui: Simply put… cooking!

Charlotte: Cooking?!

(Cuts to the Mess Hall, where Odin, Niles, and Laslow have returned to.)

Odin: T-That can’t be… Flora and Charlotte were asked to join the detached force?

Leo: Yeah… I didn’t think that she would take those two along of all people…

Felicia: Flora… And she was so close to making the perfect berry cake too…

Xander: Perhaps it’s because she thinks our abilities are lacking…

Laslow: We even went out to pick the berries… Now they don’t really have a use anymore. Can’t be helped. Let’s put our maximum priority on the gift.

Leo: But we don’t even know what Kamui wants…

Odin: Don’t worry, Milord! My all-seeing eyes have given me the answer! I have learned the truth amongst the bountiful scarlet fields!

Leo: So in other words…?

Odin: We met Lady Kamui while we were picking berries and she told us what she wanted!

Leo: Eh?! Wait, really?!

Niles: Yes. Lady Kamui was in the middle of gathering a large amount of food. She didn’t tell us directly what she was going to do with them, but her true purpose was most likely to trade it all in for accessories.

Xander: I see… Were you also able to figure out which accessories she wanted?

Niles: Yes. *puts down shop catalogue* We’ve marked it down in here.

Xander: *puts his finger on each individual item* Heart Pauldron… White Ribbon… Royal Feather… Mm. It certainly does seem to be all accessories aimed at women.

Leo: You’ve even marked the Tropical Swimsuit, but…

Niles: Ohhh? Lord Leo, are you interested in seeing Lady Kamui in a swimsuit?

Leo: *flinches* HUH?! Don’t be stupid! I just think that it’s a bit unusual.

Felicia: Hmmm… I don’t think it’s that unusual.

Leo: Huh, really?

Felicia: Yes! Once, when Lady Kamui, Charlotte, Flora and I were in the Hot Springs, she said…

(Cuts to a flashback scene. All four women are relaxing in the baths. Hot Spring BGM starts playing.)

F!Kamui: *sounds of splashing water* Ahhhh… This is so nice…

Felicia: Haaaaah… I could soak in here all day… Better not, though, or I might melt…

Charlotte: Ahhh, this is splendid… I wonder what this spring water does for one’s skin…

Flora: If you feel the water is too hot, let me know and I can cool it down for you.

F!Kamui: Oh? Flora, you’re wearing the Seashell Swimsuit I gave you!

Flora: Of course!

F!Kamui: The light blue color against your skin looks great! It really suits you.

Felicia: Lady Kamui, I’m also wearing the Bath Towel that you gave me~!

F!Kamui: Hee hee, that makes me happy! Oh, that’s right. Charlotte, what would you like me to give you next time as a present?

Charlotte: Eh? No waaay~! You don’t have to get me aaaanything.

F!Kamui: Please, don’t hold back on my account. I’m asking because I want to give you something. You have really good style, Charlotte, so I’m sure anything would look good on you.

Charlotte: Eh? Awww, that’s just so… Don’t say things like that so seriously~ But I think you have good fashion sense too, Lady Kamui.

F!Kamui: N-Not at all!

Charlotte: You do! For example, right here… *Charlotte touches Kamui… somewhere…* It’s very pretty~

F!Kamui: Eek! Haha, Charlotte! That tickles!

Charlotte: Ehehe, sorry~

Felicia: Um, um! I want to see you wear a new swimsuit too, Lady Kamui!

F!Kamui: A swimsuit… huh? Now that you mention it, I’ve never actually gotten one for myself.

Flora: You always wear the same black swimsuit, but I think a Tropical Swimsuit would look lovely on you!

Charlotte: Whoa~! You’d definitely look great!

Felicia: Yes! It would absolutely, absolutely look wonderful!

F!Kamui: Y-You think so? Then I’ll consider it…

(The girls all dissolve into giggles as the scene switches back to modern day in the Mess Hall.)

Felicia: … And that’s what happened!

All Men: *GROANS OF INCREASING DISCOMFORT*

Felicia: … Huh? What’s wrong, everyone?

Leo: No… well…

Niles: I didn’t think we’d get such vivid exposure about the women’s bathing time.

Odin: *falls to his knees* Calm down… Calm down, MY IMAGINATION!!

Felicia: Oh no no no NO NO NO NOOOOOO!! I’M SO SORRY!! I carelessly told you in great detail about our swimsuits…!

Laslow: *who for some reason is completely fine* I see… So Lady Kamui always wears a black swimsuit…

Xander: Laslow, you bastard! Just what are you imagining?!

Laslow: *hastily steps back* I-I’m just confirming it! That Lady Kamui really does want a Tropical Swimsuit!

Xander: Oh really?

Laslow: *snippy* Speaking of which, Milord Xander, your ears are completely scarlet, aren’t they?!

Xander: Urk…! This and that have no relation!

Leo: Well, at least we know that it’s valid. In that case, then this list here has some actual value. Now that we know, let’s go get the food we need.

Niles: Right. It would be more efficient if we could double the amount at the Arena.

Odin: Hm, the Arena, huh? My blood is raging!

Laslow: With everyone’s power, we’ll get this done in no time!

Felicia: It’d be bad if nobody were here, so I’ll stay as shopkeeper.

Xander: We’ll leave it to you, Felicia. Then everyone, let’s go get those ingredients, then rendezvous at the Arena.
