- Ryoma:
- *phew*
- That should be enough practice for today.▼
- I should still have time to get changed
- and make it to the meeting on time.▼
- Perhaps I can even lend a hand counting
- supplies...▼
- Setsuna:
- ...▼
- Ryoma:
- Yaaahh! Setsuna?! Where did you
- come from?!▼
- Were you hiding? It seemed like you
- appeared out of thin air!▼
- Setsuna:
- Oh. No, milord, I wasn't hiding...▼
- Ryoma:
- Are you sure? You were almost invisible...▼
- I bet you'd be an excellent spy—you clearly
- have some natural talent.▼
- Setsuna:
- I don't know... I was just walking how
- I normally walk.▼
- Ryoma:
- You shouldn't be so humble, Setsuna!▼
- The ability to conceal your presence
- is valuable!▼
- I bet it helps you greatly on the battlefield
- as well, doesn't it?▼
- Setsuna:
- It really isn't anything special.▼
- If you'll excuse me, Lord Ryoma, I have to
- get somewhere now...▼
- Ryoma:
- Oh, I just noticed your bow. Off to archery
- practice, are you?▼
- Oh, that reminds me... Your skill with the
- bow and arrow are superb!▼
- Setsuna:
- You've seen me shoot?▼
- Ryoma:
- Of course. I make a point of being aware of
- all my allies on the battlefield.▼
- Also, Hinoka frequently praises your
- precision and skill.▼
- She says that the enemy never seems to
- know where your shots are coming from.▼
- Setsuna:
- Um...▼
- Ryoma:
- What's the matter?▼
- Setsuna:
- It's nothing, milord. I really must
- go, though...▼
- Ryoma:
- That was strange...▼
- I know she was about to say something.
- Did I somehow offend her with my words?▼
- B Support:
- Setsuna:
- Hello, Lord Ryoma...▼
- Ryoma:
- Ahhh!▼
- Oh, it's you, Setsuna. You always seem to
- appear out of nowhere.▼
- Setsuna:
- I apologize...▼
- Ryoma:
- No need to apologize; it's my fault for not
- paying as much attention as I should be.▼
- Now then, is there something you needed
- to speak with me about?▼
- Setsuna:
- Yes, milord. About the other day...▼
- You said that you thought I'd be good as
- a spy, given how I snuck up on you.▼
- But what you're mistaking for sneakiness
- was really just me daydreaming...▼
- I suppose since I'm not paying attention,
- I just become a little unnoticeable.▼
- Ryoma:
- Ah. That does make sense...▼
- Setsuna:
- I wanted to tell you that the other day,
- but you said such nice things about me...▼
- Well, I completely forgot about
- correcting you.▼
- Instead, I felt really good and just wanted
- to run away and enjoy it...▼
- Ryoma:
- Oh, I see now!▼
- I thought I had said something that had
- insulted you. I'm glad that wasn't the case.▼
- Setsuna:
- I apologize for the confusion...▼
- Ryoma:
- No, no. Don't worry about it. I'm sorry
- that I didn't realize things sooner.▼
- However, I would like it if you didn't focus
- so much on any negative traits you have.▼
- You should instead celebrate the positive
- aspects of yourself!▼
- Setsuna:
- I don't understand, milord...▼
- Ryoma:
- Take your daydreaming
- even though it was
- not intentional, it still concealed you well.▼
- With a little work and training, I'm sure you
- could turn that into a valuable skill.▼
- Setsuna:
- I suppose...▼
- Ryoma:
- Of course, this is just my opinion.▼
- You can address your strengths and
- weaknesses however you like.▼
- Setsuna:
- You do make a good point, Lord Ryoma.
- I will keep your advice in mind...▼
- Ryoma:
- Excellent!▼
- A Support:
- Setsuna:
- That went well...▼
- Ryoma:
- Ah, is that Setsuna over there?▼
- Hello, Setsuna. Out practicing your archery
- some more, I see.▼
- Setsuna:
- Yes, Lord Ryoma... I've been practicing for
- hours already...▼
- Ryoma:
- That is some dedication...▼
- What the... Are all those arrows in the
- target yours?!▼
- I can't even count how many there are...▼
- Setsuna:
- Yes, milord. Like I said, I've been working
- for hours on my shot.▼
- Ryoma:
- I don't see any misses at all. Did you
- already collect your missed shots?▼
- Or is your aim really that good...▼
- Setsuna:
- You mentioned appreciating my skill before.▼
- I decided to make sure never to disappoint
- you on the battlefield...▼
- Ryoma:
- I see.▼
- Your efforts are clearly not wasted.
- I'm sure Hinoka will be pleased with you.▼
- Setsuna:
- I hope so. It's tough, because I have to
- practice so much...▼
- But at least with archery, I see
- improvement in my skill.▼
- Ryoma:
- What do you mean, "at least with archery"?▼
- Setsuna:
- Well... No matter how hard I try, I can't
- seem to avoid falling for traps.▼
- It took me over a day to even make it to
- the archery range, for example...▼
- Ryoma:
- What?! But you're quartered no more
- than five minutes from here...▼
- You managed to get trapped between here
- and there?▼
- Have you tried using the same focus when
- you walk as you do when you shoot?▼
- Setsuna:
- That's a good idea...▼
- Ryoma:
- Don't expect to succeed immediately.
- Everything takes time to learn.▼
- Apparently, even not getting caught
- in traps...▼
- Setsuna:
- Thank you for the advice, Lord Ryoma.
- I'll try my best...▼
- S Support:
- Setsuna:
- Another good shot...▼
- Ryoma:
- Hello there, Setsuna. Hard at your archery
- training, I see.▼
- Setsuna:
- Yes, Lord Ryoma...▼
- Ryoma:
- Did you manage to avoid traps on the way
- here this time?▼
- Setsuna:
- Not in the least. It actually took two
- days to get here this time...▼
- I planned ahead and brought food, though.▼
- Ryoma:
- Two days?! Really? That's almost
- impressive, honestly.▼
- Listen, Setsuna, I actually came here to
- talk to you about something...▼
- Setsuna:
- Of course... What is it?▼
- Ryoma:
- After you talked about falling for traps the
- other day, I found myself worried for you.▼
- But...it felt different than a normal worry,
- and I couldn't quite figure out why.▼
- Setsuna:
- What do you mean?▼
- Ryoma:
- *sigh*▼
- I realized that I wanted to protect you from
- all the traps of the world, Setsuna.▼
- I want to be with you whenever I can.▼
- Setsuna:
- I don't think I understand...
- Are you saying...▼
- Ryoma:
- I'm saying that you are important to me,
- Setsuna. I'm saying that I love you.▼
- Setsuna:
- But... You're the first prince of Hoshido...▼
- I'm just a royal retainer. Aren't our social
- standings just...too different?▼
- Ryoma:
- That doesn't change how I feel in the least.▼
- Unless, of course...you don't feel the same
- way I do...▼
- Setsuna:
- Lord Ryoma...
- I love you, too. I really do.▼
- I worked hard to perfect my archery
- because of your compliments.▼
- I'm very happy to hear that you
- care for me so strongly...▼
- Ryoma:
- Setsuna, now I feel like I'm the
- one daydreaming!▼
- Setsuna:
- I'm so happy, Ryoma. I even just fought
- off the urge to run away like I did before.▼
- I'd rather be here with you...▼
- Ryoma:
- We'll support each other from now on!▼
- I'll do my best to protect you from any
- traps in your path!▼
- Setsuna:
- Thank you, Ryoma...▼
