My, my. What happened here to bring you to
such a state?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#003]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
Oh... I, um, found a book lying around.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#004]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
But when I started reading it, it was so moving
that I...I couldn't stop crying.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#005]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
A tragedy, is it? Tell me more.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#006]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
It's a story of a great sage known only as "L".$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#007]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
Oh? Tell me more about this "L" fellow.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#008]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
It starts off with L as a young boy who's at the
top of his class at an academy in Elusia.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#009]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
Then, it follows him as he becomes a royal
soldier─even ending up as the prince's retainer.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#010]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
Mm-hmm.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#011]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
The prince was supposed to ascend the throne,
but it ended up being somebody else instead.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#012]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
The prince left the castle in despair. L just
stands there stunned as he goes.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#013]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
For now, I've read up to here...
Ugh....$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#014]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
Here, dry your eyes.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#015]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
Thank you...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#016]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
I'm easily impressed, but...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#017]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
Thinking about the prince's bitterness and the
way L felt to see him go...it's just too tragic.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#018]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
You've got me invested now. If you keep
reading, do tell me how it turns out.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#019]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
Sure thing, sir.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#020]

So, how's that book of yours coming along?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#002]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
Oh, but where are my manners? I meant to
give you a treat first.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#003]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
These are some tasty-looking pastries.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#004]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
I baked them myself. There's apple filling inside.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#005]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
You bake, Sir Lindon?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#006]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
Oh, yes. Nothing bakes a pastry like a good
jolt of thunder magic. Go on, try one.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#007]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
Oh, don't mind if I do...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#008]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
Wow! I had no idea a little zap of lightning
could make such a tasty treat.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#009]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
Good, aren't they? Now, back to the subject
of your book.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#010]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
Oh yeah. Last time, the prince L worked for
didn't inherit the throne, so he left the castle.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#011]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
Then, L meets another royal soldier and finds
comfort with her.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#012]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
They get married and begin an ordinary, but
happy, life together.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#013]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
That's as far as I've got for now.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#014]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
Fascinating. This story has its hooks in me.
I was a royal soldier once myself, you know.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#015]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
I notice you don't seem to be crying
today, though.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#016]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
It's actually pretty tough to hold it in. L's wife
goes through so much for his sake...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#017]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
But I'm embarrassed to be seen crying all the
time, so I'm doing my best to keep it together.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#018]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
Heh, don't hold back on my account!$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#019]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
There's nothing to be embarrassed about.
Cry as hard as you like. Let it all out!$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#020]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
Are...are you sure? Well...if you say so...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#021]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
UWAAAAH!$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#022]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
Oh my, your nose is running! Here, something
to wipe it with.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#023]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
Thanks you so much, again...$Wait(0)

I baked cookies for us, Boucheron! With
thunder, of course, as always. Now, eat up.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#002]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
Oooh, I can't wait. Hey, there's raisins in
these! Yum.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#003]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
Read any further in that book yet?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#004]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
I finished it, actually...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#005]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
Have you, now? Well then, tell me everything.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#006]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
Sure... After the wedding, L's life was simple
but happy.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#007]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
The couple went through hard times, but they
did it together, and saw their children grow up.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#008]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
But just when the kids were all grown and they
could enjoy their sunset years...L's wife passed.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#009]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
L never got to feed his wife the last pastry he
baked for her...with a bolt of thunder.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#010]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#011]

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#012]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
There, there, Boucheron... I find myself crying
as well today.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#013]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
I realized when I got to that part...this story is
about you, isn't it?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#014]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
Indeed it is. "L," of course, is my first initial.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#015]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
But why is there a book about you?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#016]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
I thought─before I join my wife in the beyond─
I'd record my life for posterity.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#017]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
But I was careless and lost the manuscript.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#018]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
So you wrote this book? Well, now I'm sorry
I read it without permission.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#019]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
Nonsense. I'm genuinely glad that you picked it
up and read the whole tale.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#020]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
It was wonderfully written, for what it's worth.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#021]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
Why don't we spend more time together? You
can get to know me until my last pages.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#022]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
It would be my pleasure.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#023]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
Splendid! I'm in such a good mood that I think
I might bake another batch of sweets!$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#024]
$Window(2, "リンデン")
But lightning-baking takes time, so why don't
you tell me your story?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#025]
$Window(2, "ブシュロン")
Let's see, where to start? I guess with the day
my parents met...$Wait(0)
