Oh. Prince Diamant...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#004]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
No news here. It's a quiet night. $Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#005]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
I see.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#006]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Standing guard like this reminds me of the
other day...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#007]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
Which day?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#008]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
The day of that snowstorm. I was guarding the
Elusia border through most of it.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#009]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
Right. That storm was awful.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#010]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
It was snowing so heavily... I worried that I
wouldn't be able to find you.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#011]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
So did I.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#012]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Huh?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#013]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
I feared I might lose a trusted retainer to the
cold. I almost worried myself sick.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#014]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
When I finally arrived and saw you were still
standing strong, I breathed such a sigh of relief.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#015]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Oh. Well. Let's not get carried away...but thank
you for your concern, Prince Diamant.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#016]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
Dawn should break any minute. I'll relieve you
a bit early. Go get some sleep, OK?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#017]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Understood.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#018]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
Good work tonight. Oh, and I'm excited to read
your new chapters. Will they be ready soon?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_C_#019]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Yes. Without delay.$Wait(0)

Hahaha, I can't─ I can't stop... Hahaha!
It's too much...it hurts...!$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#003]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Prince Diamant, are you OK?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#004]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
Am I OK? You almost killed me! Your writing is
hazardous to my health, Jade.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#005]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
It's an unexpected honor to have my storytelling
threaten a crown prince's life.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#006]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Which part are you on?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#007]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
Chapter 19 of "The Adventures of Amber, the
Deliberate Dummy."$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#008]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Ah. So you're at the part where Amber just won
the fighting tournament?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#009]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
Yes! And he returned to his hometown to
celebrate his victory, but no one believed him!$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#010]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
And then the scene where he rides his mighty
alpaca through the open fields to dry his tears...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#011]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
As soon as he dismounts, his eyes finally dry...
the alpaca spits right in his face. Poor Amber.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#012]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
This isn't just a funny novel, Jade. This book
is art.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#013]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
Tell me, when will the next one be ready?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#014]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Well...I wanted to talk to you about that. I might
take a break from writing. Just for a while.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#015]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
Oh. Really?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#016]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
I think I understand. Our battles are growing
more intense. Not much we can do about that.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#017]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Yes. That's certainly a factor, but...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#018]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Lately, no matter what I write...it all feels flat
to me. I'm bored by my own ideas.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#019]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
Ah. So you're in a bit of a slump?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#020]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Yes. I need to rest my pen for a while. I'm sorry
if this news disappoints you, Prince Diamant.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#021]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
No need to apologize. I'm an eager, yet patient,
reader. Take as long as you need.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#022]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Thank you very much. If I start writing again,
I'll let you know.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#023]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
If anything, I'm glad to hear you'll be giving
yourself a break. In the meantime...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#024]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
Why don't I write the next book?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#025]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Huh?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#026]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
Don't worry. I won't step on your work. It'll be
more like a...side story. I'd enjoy the challenge.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#027]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Uh... You're serious about this?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#028]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
I'm always serious. I'll let you know when it's
done. You just relax until then.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_B_#029]

Yes. Understood...$Wait(0)

Jade! I finished my first draft. Care to give it
a read?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#002]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
It's titled, "The EXTRA Adventures of Amber,
the Deliberate Dummy."$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#003]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
You... You actually wrote it...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#004]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Yes. Of course, Prince Diamant. I would...love
to read it.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#005]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#006]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Hm, this is pretty funny. However...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#007]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
Be honest. Don't hold back.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#008]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
These pages might benefit from a few more
gags. If you revised this scene just a bit...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#009]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
Hmm. What would you change?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#010]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
If I were writing it...I'd have all of the alpaca's
wool explode off of its body.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#011]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
Haha.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#012]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
And then, just as Amber composes himself, its
wool grows back in a flash─silky and smooth.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#013]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Amber tries to mount his alpaca, but its wool is
so smooth that he slips─no, shoots right off.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#014]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
As Amber soars through the air and over the
horizon...his alpaca wistfully spits at the ground.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#015]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#016]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
Hahaha!$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#017]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
That's perfect! Your version flows much better.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#018]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Thank you. But the larger framework of your
story is quite good, Prince Diamant.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#019]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
I'd love to give you further notes once you
have your second draft ready.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#020]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
No, I'm done.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#021]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Huh?! Why did you crumple your draft?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#022]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
It served its purpose. Sounds like your new
book is well on its way.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#023]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
My new book?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#024]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
Sure. Your silky-smooth wool idea was superb.
I trust you'll pick things up from there.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#025]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Wait. Did you...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#026]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Were you just trying to lift me out of my slump?
By kicking off a first draft for me?$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#027]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
Are you suggesting that I wrote a weak draft
on purpose? I'm not that clever.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#028]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
I gave it my best effort. My jokes just couldn't
stand against those of a true artist.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#029]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Prince Diamant...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#030]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
You may deny that was your plan, but...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#031]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Thank you.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#032]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
All right. Almost time to get back to work.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#033]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
Don't worry about tonight's watch, Jade. I can
handle it myself.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#034]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
But...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#035]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
You've been fighting extra hard lately. I'm sure
that contributed to your slump. Get some rest.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#036]
$Window(2, "ディアマンド")
And whenever that book is ready, let me know.
Nothing relaxes me like laughing at your writing.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#037]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
Understood. Thank you very much.$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#038]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
As long as I'm your retainer, Prince Diamant...$Wait(0)

[MID_RELIANCE_A_#039]
$Window(2, "ジェーデ")
I vow to protect every bone in your body.
Especially the funny one.$Wait(0)
