===Lingering Worry===
;(Approach Yuyan, Dalong, and Little Le)
: Yuyan: Where did you get these? I didn't give you any Mora.
: Yuyan: You didn't steal them, did you!?
: Dalong: No, I didn't steal 'em! I talked to a nice person and they just gave 'em to me.
: Yuyan: So, you've been asking for food on the street! I've already told you, such behavior makes you look uneducated!
: Yuyan: How could you ask a stranger for food? Is that any different from being a beggar?
: Dalong: B—But, I didn't ask them for it... They asked me if I wanted some!
: Yuyan: That's it, no more lies! Just be honest about your mistake!
: Chongyun: Uh, excuse me. He got those popsicles from me. He never asked us, we just gave them to him.
: Dalong: Yeah, this is the nice person I was telling you about!
: Yuyan: Wh—Who are you?
: Chongyun: My name is Chongyun. As you could probably tell from my attire, I'm an exorcist. Your son really seemed interested in popsicles, so we thought we'd make a batch for you. That's why we're paying you a visit.
: There's no need to worry.
: We're not bad guys.
: Yuyan: O—Oh, I see. Sorry, I seem to have misunderstood him.
: Yuyan: I'm sorry, Dalong. It was wrong for Mommy to blame you.
: Dalong: It's okay, Mommy. So am I allowed to talk to the nice popsicle man now?
: Yuyan: Sure, but please keep an eye on your sister. Mommy will be back after some errands, okay?
: Dalong: Don't worry, I'll look after her. Bye, Mommy!
:;(Yuyan leaves)
: Dalong: Thanks, if it wasn't for you, I would have been in big trouble again.
: Little Le: Thank you for the popsicle. It was so cool and delicious.
: Actually, we've made some more.
: I bet you're still hungry.
: Dalong: Oh, wow, look at all the popsicles! Thanks!
: Don't eat them all in one go, you'll get brain freeze!
: Eating too many will upset your stomach.
: Little Le: Okay, I've got it. Thanks, you guys! Y—You're like heroes!
: Chongyun: Heroes?
: Dalong: Yeah, I've been telling a story to my sister recently, and she admires the story's heroes very much. They're chivalrous, just, and they help the weak fight against evil.
: Little Le: And the heroes always have a good partner. One hero can beat up two bad guys, but with a good partner, they can defeat even more!
: Little Le: You two must be very good partners.
: Chongyun: Uh, w—well...
: That's right, we're great partners.
:: Little Le: Yay, I knew it! You two must get along well together.
: Actually, we just met...
:: Little Le: Really? It sure doesn't seem that way. I bet you two will have a bright future together!
: Little Le: Um... we're gonna go play right now... Oh! Would you come and play with us?
: Dalong: Don't be so childish! I'm sure heroes like them have important things to do.
: Little Le: Huh? You mean you can't play?
: It wouldn't hurt to play a little, right?
: Chongyun: Huh? W—Well, I...
: Chongyun: Sorry, could I have a word with you, Traveler?
:;(To the side)
: Chongyun: They look so excited to play with us, but I'm sure they'll be disappointed if we refuse.
: I have time.
: Let's go play with them for a while.
: Chongyun: ...Sure, that's fine, but...
: Something on your mind?
: Chongyun: No, it's nothing, I'm just... a little bit worried.
: Chongyun: I spend most of my time purging evil spirits and practicing thaumaturgy.
: Chongyun: And besides my training, I also need to constantly focus deeply on my own emotions to avoid losing control.
: Chongyun: So, what I mean is that I seldom have time for anything that others would consider "fun." I don't even know the first thing about playing with kids...
: Chongyun: They think we're heroes, so they must be very excited to play with us. But, I'm afraid that they'll just find me... boring.
: It's simple, just be confident.
:: Chongyun: ...R—Really? I just don't want to disappoint them...
: Just treat it as if you're getting together with friends.
:: Chongyun: I see... But my friends aren't the type who'd go out and play...
: Don't worry. I've got you covered.
:: Chongyun: Great! That's reassuring.
: Chongyun: Alright, let's give it a try.
: Chongyun: But I'll need you to help me if I don't know what to do.
:;(After returning to the kids)
: Little Le: Yay, they're back! So can we go play now?
: Chongyun: Uh, yeah... I'll try.
: Little Le: Hahaha, yay! No need to be nervous... we're gonna have a blast!
: Little Le: Um... Oh, I know! Um — let's play hide-and-seek! Um — you'll be the ghost... But — um — don't peek until you count to fifty!
: Chongyun: Wh—Who? Me?
: He might not be familiar with the rules.
:: Little Le: Huh? I don't know anyone who doesn't know how to play hide-and-seek. Uh... okay, you can be the ghost then!
: Let me play the ghost first.
:: Dalong: Okay. We'll go hide now. You'll have to find all three of us if you wanna win!
: Little Le: Hehe, you'll never be able to find me!
: Chongyun: You mean, we just hide anywhere we want?
: Little Le: Of course, silly! That's the most fun part of the game!
: Little Le: But don't follow me! There's only room for one person in my secret hiding spot!
: Chongyun: Uhh, alright... but I still don't really know what to do.
: Don't be so serious.
: Just use your imagination.
: Who knows, maybe you'll be good at this.
: Chongyun: You're right. I'll give it a try.
: Little Le: Yay! Let's go hide! No peeking now...

;(Find Dalong)
: Dalong: Ah, you found me!
: Dalong: I can't believe I lost! I didn't expect you to be so good at this.
;(Find Little Le)
: Little Le: Huh, you found me!? How did you know to look for me here...
: Little Le: Heyyyy — you didn't peek, did you?
:;(Find Little Le if you found Chongyun first)
: Little Le: Aw, the popsicle man is a ghost now, too!
: Little Le: How did you know to look for me here...
: Little Le: You didn't peek, did you?
: Little Le: ...Did the popsicle man tell you where to find me?
;(Find Chongyun)
: Chongyun: I never expected you to find me so easily...
: It's only your first time.
: ...Why would you hide here?
: Chongyun: I thought that this would be the perfect spot.
: Chongyun: In fact, I'm well-versed in the methods of locating evil spirits, and I have lots of experience tracking down their hiding spots.
: Chongyun: This spot is dusty and a bit gloomy, which gives off an unsettling energy. Evil spirits usually prefer such places.
: You're trying to use thaumaturgy to play hide-and-seek...
:: Chongyun: Yeah... I guess my experience as an exorcist doesn't apply very well.
: But you can be easily seen here.
:: Chongyun: Hmm... I guess I was so nervous that I neglected the most important thing.
: Chongyun: Since I've been found, I guess I must admit my defeat.
: Chongyun: It's a simple game, yet quite intriguing once you begin to play.
: Maybe we could play it together again sometime.
:: Chongyun: Sure, we could invite more friends to join us.
: Good thing you weren't the ghost.
:: Chongyun: Hehe, right. It might've taken me hours to find anyone.
: Chongyun: Let's go.
;(After finding everyone)
:
: Little Le: Hmm... Mommy's still not back yet. I'm starving...
: Little Le: Do you two know how to cook at all?
: Dalong: Don't be so selfish. They've played with us for a long time already.
: Little Le: ...If we played for so long, then a little longer won't hurt...
: Chongyun: No, it's alright. But I'm not too picky about the taste of food, as long as it doesn't make me feel unwell.
: Little Le: Unwell? A—Are you sick? Mommy says you should always take care of yourself!
: Chongyun: No, it's not so serious. I just need to be careful about what I eat.
: Chongyun: For example, Noodles with Mountain Delicacies. The dish tastes great, but I can't eat anything warm. So I came up with my own variation called "Cold Noodles with Mountain Delicacies."
: Little Le: C—Cold noodles! That sounds nice and cool. I wanna try!
: Chongyun: Well, I don't think they taste quite as good as when they're served warm.
: Little Le: No way, I'm sure it's just as good as the popsicles! Or even better!
: Chongyun: Uh, well...
: It's your time to shine! I'll help prepare the ingredients.
: I happen to have some ingredients here.
: I want to try some, too!
:: Chongyun: Y—You want to try too? Okay, I guess I'll have to make it.
: Chongyun: Hmm, alright. We can use the kitchen here. I'll prepare the noodles once all the ingredients are ready.
----
;(Talk to Little Le again)
: Little Le: Cold noodles! Cold noodles!
: Dalong: I've never tasted cold noodles, I can't wait to try some...
;(Talk to Chongyun again)
: Chongyun: Are all the ingredients ready?
:;(Opens the submission menu)
:
: Chongyun: So? How does it taste?
: It's delicious.
:: Chongyun: *sigh* That's a relief. I'm glad you like it.
: It's unique. The texture is different compared to warm noodles.
:: Chongyun: Unique? I guess I'll take that as a compliment...
: You should open a restaurant!
:: Chongyun: Ah, y—you flatter me! No need to exaggerate, though.
: Chongyun: Let's serve the dish to the kids.
: Chongyun: I hope they'll like it.
: Dalong: Wow, it tastes amazing! I've never had anything like this before.
: Little Le: You're not only a hero b—but also a chef! What a surprise!
: Dalong: Is there more? I want seconds!
: Little Le: Me too! Me too!
: Chongyun: Whoa, slow down there! There's plenty more.
:
: Dalong: Ugh, I'm so full... You're so amazing!
: Little Le: Now that we're done, let's play more games!
: Chongyun: M—More games?
: Seems you're becoming quite popular.
: Seems you're quite likable after all.
: Chongyun: This is completely unexpected for me. I was sure that everyone would just think I'm boring...
: Little Le: No way! You're so much fun. And if you weren't so icy all the time, you'd be even more fun!
: Little Le: C'mon let's go, I wanna play something else!
