Ryoma x Shigure Variable Parent C-A English Fates

C Support:

Ryoma:
Shigure. You're painting again, I see.▼

Shigure:
Hello, Father. Sorry, I didn't hear you
come in.▼

I know this is no time for artwork, since
we're at war and all.▼

Ryoma:
Don't get the wrong impression. I'm not
here to scold you.▼

You have a true gift.▼

In another time, perhaps you would have
been a great artist.▼

I know it's difficult to be true to yourself
during wartime.▼

But I honestly think you should continue to
paint without restraint.▼

Shigure:
That's kind of you to say.▼

But I really don't think I have much of a
future as an artist.▼

Ryoma:
Your innate modesty is a tremendous virtue.
It keeps one's pride in check.▼

But I truly believe that it would be a shame
not to show off your work.▼

There must be a way to share it with
the world.▼

Shigure:
What do you mean?▼

Ryoma:
Let me think...▼

I know just what to do. How about we
throw you a solo exhibition?▼

Shigure:
A-an exhibition? I could never do that.▼

Besides, our troops are on the advance.▼

The setup alone would be way more work
than it's worth.▼

Ryoma:
It doesn't have to be a royal gala.▼

We just have to reserve a tent and invite
nearby soldiers and villagers.▼

Shigure:
B-but it seems so vain to reserve a whole
tent just for my personal use.▼

Ryoma:
Shigure, this isn't about vanity. I'm not
looking to boast about your talent.▼

In trying times, it's important to find some
peace of mind.▼

An exhibition would be a welcome reprieve
from the exhaustion of war.▼

Shigure:
I'm not sure...▼

Ryoma:
I'm not trying to force your hand.▼

What do you want to do, Son?▼

Shigure:
OK, fine...▼

We can give it a shot. But I have to admit
that it makes me a bit anxious.▼

Ryoma:
Don't be! I know this show will be the
event of the season.▼

I'll start recruiting volunteers in town. We
should start our preparations right away.▼

Shigure:
Thank you, Father.▼



B Support:

Shigure:
Hello, Father...▼

Ryoma:
Oh, Shigure. Is something on your mind?▼

Shigure:
Well... You've done so much to make this
exhibition a possibility.▼

I just wanted to say thanks.▼

Ryoma:
To be honest, I didn't think everything
would come together so quickly.▼

It's all thanks to the villagers. Their help
was invaluable.▼

They're all excited to see your paintings.▼

Your reputation as a gifted artist
precedes you.▼

Shigure:
O-oh, I don't know about that...▼

Ryoma:
Are you nervous, Shigure?▼

Shigure:
Of course. But mostly I'm concerned about
my newest painting.▼

It's just not coming together like I hoped
it would.▼

Ryoma:
Is this the painting you're doing just for
the exhibition?▼

While I would love to see a new piece,
time is running short.▼

If the work isn't going well, perhaps you
should finish it after the show.▼

Shigure:
I promised myself that I would get it done.▼

So many people have come together to give
me this opportunity.▼

And the final piece really unites the show.
I have to keep going.▼

Ryoma:
Very well.▼

But please, don't push yourself too hard.▼

If you end up making yourself sick, all this
work will have been pointless.▼

Shigure:
Don't worry, Father. I'll be careful.▼

If you'll excuse me, I should get back to
my painting.▼

Ryoma:
All right. Good luck.▼

The boy seems so passionate. I wonder
what's gotten him all worked up...▼



A Support:

Ryoma:
It's finally time for Shigure's exhibition.
I should take a peek inside the tent...▼

Incredible...▼

The turnout is quite impressive. People
have come from miles around.▼

From what I've overheard, it sounds like
everyone loves his artwork.▼

This event is a smash success.▼

Hmm, that's strange. I haven't seen
Shigure anywhere.▼

Where could he be?▼

Shigure:
*pant*...*pant*...▼

Ryoma:
S-Son, what's wrong? Are you just now
getting here?▼

How could you be late to your own
exhibition?!▼

Shigure:
Sorry about that, Father. I've been up all
night working on my painting.▼

Ryoma:
What?!▼

Shigure:
It's OK, I'm here now.▼

Ryoma:
Don't you remember when I told you not to
push yourself too hard?▼

There are already plenty of pieces on
display here.▼

What does one last painting really bring to
the show?▼

Shigure:
You don't understand.▼

I promised myself that I would complete it,
no matter what.▼

I made this because I'm thankful for
everything you've done for me, Father.▼

Ryoma:
Wait, what?!▼

Th-this is...your mother and myself?▼

Shigure:
Yes, it's a portrait of you two.▼

Ryoma:
So this is what you've been working on so
tirelessly?▼

Shigure:
Indeed, Father. My love for you and Mother
cannot be measured.▼

You brought me into this world. Without
you, I never would have been able to paint.▼

So I wanted to put all those feelings into
this portrait.▼

Ryoma:
Shigure...▼

I have to admit that you really got me. I had
no idea what you were up to.▼

Shigure:
F-Father, it hurts when you hug me so
tightly... Hahaha.▼

Ryoma:
You make me very proud, Son.▼

Shigure:
I feel the same way.▼

Ryoma:
Is that right?▼

There's no time to talk. We've got to put
this painting on display!▼

Shigure:
O-OK. It's a little embarrassing though...▼

Ryoma:
No, it's not.▼

This piece is simply magnificent. It's clearly
the finest work in the exhibition.▼

So obviously, it must go on display, right?▼

Do you mind, Shigure?▼

Shigure:
No, of course not. Let's go, Father!▼
