Mizuki Koichi

'I'm happy I can be with Caius!'

*Mizuki Koichi - A dimension traveler from Tildant.*

*Caius's bride.*

*Protected by the Titan, Bride of Prosperity*

## Intro

Mizuki Koichi used to be a high school student on Earth. He was the leader of his school's basketball club and the winner of the National High School Basketball Competition. Easygoing, good at both studying and sports, he was very popular at school. One day, however, he was summoned by Caius, the prince of Tildant, to his world Eustil.

'Please be my bride and govern the kingdom with me!' said Caius to Koichi.

Koichi refused to accept the Titan's proposal: he is way too large. Without a clue of how he was supposed to go back, however, Koichi had to agree with Caius's second proposal: the two of them would have a one-month trial. If he still wouldn't be his bride in one month, Caius would send Koichi back to his original world.

In that month, Caius and Koichi traveled around Eustil and Koichi gradually learned the Titans' culture. In the end, Koichi was moved by Caius's selfless love and decided to spend the rest of his life with him. They completed the pact and Koichi stayed in Eustil.

Some day, they found a treasure of the Longears'. After touching it, both of them lost consciousness...

* **Markus**: Oh boy, are you suffering from malnutrition? It's all right! Join Oathblades, have more meat and exercises, and you'll be fine!
*Markus's Intimacy reaches Lv.2 to unlock*
* **Yaen**: Mizuki is fresh to the Academy. He looks easy to pick on, but all he does everyday is studying. So boring...
*Yaen's Intimacy reaches Lv.4 to unlock*
* **Vundo**: Koichi is the earnest, most diligent student I've ever had! The only problem he has is the lack of confidence. Actually he's very capable, but he's trapped by the thought that he can't get anything done. This is not good!
*Vundo's Intimacy reaches Lv.6 to unlock*
* **Caius**: Some people in Never Isle believe I can do better than Koichi. Actually, Koichi is the one who sacrificed his own past to save me and Tildant. It's my pleasure to have him as my bride. I feel happy whenever I see that pure smile on his face. I will protect him forever!
*Caius's Intimacy reaches Lv.8 to unlock*
* **Never Isle Young Man**: This is unfair! Mizuki Koichi is only an ordinary man with an ordinary face! How could he be Caius's bride!?
* **Never Isle Young Lady**: A lot of men come to Never Isle every day, but Koichi is the only one I have a feeling for so far! Why? He's young, cute and easygoing, but he's so loyal to Caius...
* **Boy**: I know him. He often plays ball in the square, and he plays it cool! I wanna learn that from him.

## Scripts

Hi, this is Mizuki Koichi.

Days ago, you and your friends helped me and Caius. We would like to pay a visit to express our gratitude, but we were informed that you are busy traveling around the whole Luxium all the time. Therefore, we hope to express our sincere gratitude through this letter.

We attached a gift to the letter. Please kindly accept it.

### Bath Drama

* This is a special essential oil from Tildant. Try some on your back, very comfortable!

### Intimacy Breakthrough

**This section contains spoilers for Intimacy Breakthrough scenes.**

**-Intimacy Level 4**

*Never Isle, near the harbor...*
*Koichi stands in the corner by himself...*
**Player**: Oh? Koichi?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Mr. Player, good morning.
**Player**: Good morning, Koichi.
**Player**: How come you're not with Caius today?
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm waiting for him here. We are going to get out of Never Isle and have a look around.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Is Mr. Player getting out too?
**Player**: Yep, it seems the Shadows are up to something. I have to take care of it.
**Mizuki Koichi**: You are fighting the Shadows?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Mr. Player, you are so strong!
**Player**: Nahh.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Everyone on Never Isle talks about Mr. Player all the time.
**Mizuki Koichi**: They say you've resolved a lot of problems for Never Isle. They all call Mr. Player a hero.
**Player**: That's an exaggeration.
**Player**: I'm just doing what I can to help my friends on Never Isle.
**Player**: That's all.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Helping your friends with your own strength...
**Mizuki Koichi**: That's so awesome!
**Mizuki Koichi**: If only I could do that...
**Caius**: Koichi!
**Mizuki Koichi**: !!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius!
**Mizuki Koichi**: So, Mr. Player, I'd better go now, let's chat another day.
**Player**: Bye!
*Koichi takes a deep bow, then he runs towards Caius...*

**-Intimacy Level 5**

*Airship, Hottie Bar...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Mr. Player, do you have time?
*Koichi takes a deep bow...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: May I ask you a question?
**Player**: Koichi, don't treat me like a stranger...
**Player**: It's weird for you to call me 'Mister'...
**Player**: Just call me Player without the 'Mister'.
**Player**: Ask me directly if you have any question.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Thank you very much!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Mr. Player... Player...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Does everyone in Luxium use arcana?
**Mizuki Koichi**: I saw Mr. Chang use healing arcana. It's very powerful...
**Mizuki Koichi**: And I saw another cute girl today, who used some very strong arcana...
**Player**: A girl?
**Player**: Oh, that's Yaen.
**Player**: Yaen is a genius witch on Never Isle.
**Player**: Most people in their lifetime probably won't be able to achieve the arcana ability that she has achieved ...
**Player**: But as long as you study arcana knowledge, master the skill to apply flux...
**Player**: You can still use arcana.
**Mizuki Koichi**: I see...
**Player**: If Koichi is interested in arcana, you can learn at the Arcana Academy.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Oh? Can I?
**Player**: Of course.
**Mizuki Koichi**: But I'm not from Luxium...
**Player**: It doesn't matter where you're from...
**Player**: As long as you're interested in arcana, you can study at the Arcana Academy.
**Player**: Principal Vundo loves new students.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I would like to try!
**Player**: I can help you contact Principal Vundo.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Thank you very much, Player!

**-Intimacy Level 6**

*Airship, bridge...*
**Billy**: Wow! So tall!
**Caius**: Excuse me, is Player here?
**Billy**: Captain, a very tall man is looking for you.
**Player**: Caius?
**Caius**: Player, do you have a minute?
*Moments later, in Hottie Bar...*
**Hottie**: Your wine is ready...
**Caius**: Thank you.
**Player**: So, Caius, what can I do for you...
**Caius**: Player, did Koichi come to see you these past few days?
**Player**: He did come once, but not recently.
**Caius**: Oh, I see...
**Player**: Did anything happen to Koichi?
**Caius**: Lately Koichi looks very tired...
**Player**: Tired?
**Caius**: He leaves the house very early in the morning everyday...
**Caius**: And he doesn't come home until late. He looks tired when he's back and goes to bed very soon.
**Player**: Did you ask Koichi?
**Caius**: I did. But Koichi wouldn't tell me why.
**Caius**: In Luxium...
**Caius**: You're Koichi's closest friend.
**Caius**: Has he ever mentioned anything to you?
**Player**: I'm sorry, Caius, but Koichi hasn't come here for a while...
**Player**: And he hasn't said anything to me either.
**Caius**: Hmm, I see.
**Caius**: If Koichi ever comes to see you, please tell him to take care of himself.
**Player**: Sure, will do!
**Caius**: Thank you very much...
**Player**: If I hear anything from Koichi, I will let you know.
**Caius**: That's unnecessary...
**Player**: Oh?
**Caius**: He must have his own reasons for not telling me...
**Caius**: Just tell him to take good care of himself.

**-Intimacy Level 7**

**Player**: It's been several days, but there's still no news of Koichi...
**Player**: I am a bit worried.
**Player**: Koichi mentioned before that he wanted to learn arcana...
**Player**: Let's go look for him at the Arcana Academy.
*Scene transition*
*After a short while...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Sigh...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I can't give up!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I must keep trying!
**Player**: That's Koichi!
**Player**: Koichi!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, what are you doing here at the Arcana Academy?
**Mizuki Koichi**: If you're looking for Principal Vundo, I'm afraid he's not here.
**Player**: I'm not here for Principal Vundo...
**Player**: You said you wanted to learn arcana before, so I came to see how you're doing.
**Player**: So how's it going, Koichi? Do you like arcana?
**Mizuki Koichi**: The Arcana Academy is great...
**Mizuki Koichi**: The teachers are fantastic, especially Principal Vundo. They treat me very well.
**Mizuki Koichi**: My fellow students are great as well...
**Player**: Students? Hasn't Yaen been causing trouble?
**Mizuki Koichi**: I got pranked twice when I first got here...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But it seems she got bored of pranking me.
**Mizuki Koichi**: And started helping me avoid being bullied by the older kids.
**Player**: Yaen helping others? Who would've thought!
**Player**: I'm glad things are going well.
**Player**: Caius even came to ask me about you. It seems there's no need to worry.
**Player**: Don't forget about Caius just because you've found arcana now...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius?
**Mizuki Koichi**: What did... Caius say?
**Player**: Just that lately you look tired when you get home...
**Player**: He's just a little worried. That's all...
**Mizuki Koichi**: So, does Caius know that I've been coming to the academy?
**Player**: Back then I didn't even know you're here at the academy...
**Player**: So there's no way I could've told him.
**Mizuki Koichi**: That's good...
**Player**: You're learning arcana behind Caius's back?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah...
**Player**: Huh?
**Mizuki Koichi**: I can never keep up with the classes...
**Mizuki Koichi**: And in the application classes I always rank last...
**Mizuki Koichi**: So in order to keep up, I have to study and practice in my own spare time...
**Mizuki Koichi**: That's why I have to study till late at the library every night, and I'm always tired when I get home.
**Mizuki Koichi**: I don't have energy to spend time with Caius anymore...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Don't worry. I'll keep this in mind!
**Mizuki Koichi**: But please, Player, keep this a secret. Don't tell Caius!
**Player**: Why?
**Mizuki Koichi**: If Caius knows that I'm learning arcana because I want to protect him...
**Mizuki Koichi**: He will be concerned about my safety and will definitely try to stop me!
**Player**: Yes but, you still shouldn't neglect Caius just because you're learning arcana...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'll be careful with Caius, but I can't give up on arcana!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Arcana... is my only chance...
**Player**: Only chance?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah, ever since I met Caius...
**Mizuki Koichi**: He's always loved me and protected me with all his power...
**Mizuki Koichi**: One time in Tildant, I accidently got poisoned.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius went to the Beastman Kingdom to look for the antidote...
**Mizuki Koichi**: And because of that he got ambushed and got himself in danger.
**Mizuki Koichi**: There's also that time I wanted to go back to Earth. Caius sacrificed himself to help me...
**Mizuki Koichi**: If it hadn't been for Paolo and Marud, Caius would've died because of me...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Me, on the other hand, couldn't do anything to help...
**Mizuki Koichi**: When in danger, all I could do was call for Caius to help me.
**Player**: Koichi...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Back in Titan nation, there was nothing I could do...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But here in Luxium, there's arcana, a powerful magic that even an average human can learn...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I have no excuse to hide anymore!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I have to get stronger. I have to protect Caius!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I just want to be at least a little bit helpful to Caius in battle!
**Player**: Oh I see...
**Mizuki Koichi**: So please! Don't tell Caius about me learning arcana!
**Player**: Okay! Don't worry!
**Player**: Go and make yourself strong, and protect the one that you love!
**Player**: I will be cheering for you!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Thank you, Player!
*At the same time...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Then I'll try my best!
**Caius**: Koichi?
**Caius**: ...
*Moments later...*
**Vundo**: Player!
**Player**: Principal Vundo!
**Vundo**: Player, I saw you talking with Koichi just now...
**Vundo**: How... is he?
**Player**: Koichi?
**Player**: He's alright, very passionate about learning arcana.
**Vundo**: Is he? That's... great...
**Player**: Mr. Principal, is something wrong?
**Vundo**: Koichi, he's not very well suited to learning elemental arcana...
**Player**: What... do you mean?
**Vundo**: I have been observing him for a while.
**Vundo**: Without a doubt, he is the hardest working lad in the whole academy...
**Vundo**: But he can't summon lightning, flame or any other flux powers...
**Vundo**: Koichi just doesn't have any elemental talent...
**Player**: !!
**Vundo**: Actually, he's just like most people in Luxium, not gifted...
**Vundo**: But most people would simply give up after being stuck in a bottleneck.
**Vundo**: Koichi... is the first student I have seen who is not gifted but remains persistent.
**Player**: Why are you telling me this?
**Vundo**: Well...
**Vundo**: You are a good friend of Koichi, so I hope you can convince him to give up learning elemental arcana...
**Player**: What?
**Vundo**: His persistence and hard work, if put into other worthy pursuits, could give him tremendous success...
**Vundo**: But in the field of elemental arcana, he couldn't even perform mediocre achievements...
**Vundo**: In a place like this, not only is it a waste of his time...
**Vundo**: More importantly, it must be devastating to his confidence!
**Vundo**: I don't want elemental arcana to ruin him!
**Player**: ...
**Vundo**: I know this must be very difficult...
**Vundo**: But it is for Koichi's own good...

**-Intimacy Level 8**

*Never Isle, Arcana Academy Square...*
**Player**: What should I do...
**Player**: Koichi is not gifted in arcana...
**Player**: No matter how hard he studies, he may never become a strong arcana mage.
**Player**: But he wants to become stronger by using arcana so that he can protect Caius...
**Player**: Should I tell him?
**Player**: 'Koichi, you'd better give up learning arcana, you're not gifted... '
**Player**: 'It's not gonna work no matter how hard you try... '
**Player**: No, I can't say that!
**Player**: Koichi is obviously determined...
**Player**: If I tell him that, he'll be hurt.
**Player**: Maybe I should just pretend I don't know anything!
**Player**: But how can I see him torture himself everyday for nothing?
**Player**: Argh... why would you tell me about something like this...
**Moon**: Player? What are you doing here?
**Player**: Oh! It's Moon...
**Player**: It's nothing. I'm just thinking...
**Moon**: So, Player also mumbles to himself when he's thinking...
**Moon**: You must be thinking about something very difficult.
**Player**: ...
**Player**: Moon, if you have a friend who likes arcana very much...
**Player**: He studies very hard, but it just doesn't work out for him...
**Player**: By chance you find out that your friend is actually not gifted at learning arcana.
**Player**: What would you do?
**Player**: Will you tell him he can't learn arcana if he's not gifted?
**Moon**: Yeah... it is indeed easier to learn arcana if you're gifted...
**Moon**: But there are different types of arcana.
**Moon**: For example, if you are not good at Elemental Arcana, maybe you are good at Recovery Arcana.
**Moon**: There must be something for him.
**Moon**: So, if I were you, I would ask him to try some other types of arcana.
**Player**: I didn't know... about this.
**Moon**: Are you talking about Mizuki Koichi?
**Player**: Huh? How did you know?
**Moon**: The only one who matches your description in the Arcana Academy is Koichi.
**Moon**: Principal Vundo tells me about him all the time. He studies very hard, but he has no elemental talent.
**Player**: Yes...
**Moon**: But maybe Koichi is gifted in Illusion.
**Player**: Illusion?
**Moon**: Back when he was my gardener...
**Moon**: I could feel he had a very strong will...
**Moon**: He must have someone whom he misses very much, thus giving him such a strong will.
**Moon**: You know, Illusion Arcana is based on the caster's will.
**Moon**: Plus, his constitution is Wood Flux just like me...
**Moon**: Wood Flux constitution is suitable for Illusion Arcana...
**Moon**: If he learns Illusion Arcana, things could be completely different!
**Moon**: Well, in the end, it depends on Koichi's interest...
**Moon**: He's never attended any of my classes on Illusion Arcana or arcana pharmacology.
**Player**: Thank you, Moon. I'll tell Koichi!

**-Intimacy Level 9**

*Never Isle, Arcana Academy Square...*
*Koichi is in the square corner by himself...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player...
**Player**: Koichi, what's wrong? Why are your eyes all red?
**Mizuki Koichi**: No... nothing...
**Player**: Have you been crying?
**Mizuki Koichi**: In today's lightning arcana workshop...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I was one of the slowest learners again...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Many of my classmates can already make lightning ball, but I can only make electric sparks...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I am just a loser who gets nothing done, am I not?
**Player**: Don't say that about yourself!
**Player**: Koichi, you're the most diligent, most persistent person I've ever seen!
**Mizuki Koichi**: But what does it matter?
**Mizuki Koichi**: All I can do is call for Caius...
**Player**: ...
**Player**: Koichi...
**Player**: Have you tried some other arcana yet?
**Player**: For example, Illusion or Recovery Arcana?
**Mizuki Koichi**: No...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But, what's the difference?
**Player**: Helping doesn't only mean roasting your enemies...
**Player**: For example, Recovery Arcana can help Caius heal.
**Mizuki Koichi**: I hope he'll never get hurt, never...
**Player**: ...
**Player**: Well, Illusion Arcana can be used to distract your enemies!
**Player**: Many strong mages have a background in Illusion Arcana!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I got it.
**Player**: At least give it a try!
**Player**: Try something different.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Illusion Arcana... taught by Master Moon?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Should I... try?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Okay! I will have a go!

*Airship, Hottie Bar...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player!
**Player**: Koichi!
**Player**: I haven't heard from you for a while...
**Player**: Are you studying Illusion Arcana for Caius?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yup!
**Mizuki Koichi**: To prevent the Illusion Arcana from being too powerful...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I've added some antagonist into the supplementary arcana potion...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I've also found a way to break this arcana quickly.
**Mizuki Koichi**: After repeated trial and error...
**Mizuki Koichi**: My Illusion Arcana is finally finished.
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm so looking forward to see Caius's face when he sees this arcana!
**Player**: Caius will be very happy.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yup!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Hottie, give me a glass of juice!
**Player**: Oh? Koichi asking for juice, that is rare.
**Player**: Hottie! Give me one of those too!
**Hottie**: Order received, please wait a moment...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I haven't had any free time since I started learning arcana...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Today, I have finally made some progress...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I've finally finished my first arcana.
**Player**: Congratulations, Koichi.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, I couldn't have done this without you...
**Mizuki Koichi**: You're my best friend ever!
**Player**: Koichi, this is the fruit of your own labor!
**Hottie**: Two glasses of juice are ready.
**Player**: Koichi, cheers!
*All Choices - "To friendship!" OR "To Koichi's first arcana!" OR "To Caius!"*
*No additional dialog*
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Player**: Koichi, when are you going to show your arcana to Caius?
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm thinking this couple of days...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I don't have a specific time yet.
**Mizuki Koichi**: I feel there's still room to improve my Illusion Arcana.
**Mizuki Koichi**: I want to give Caius a surprise when I'm fully prepared.
**Player**: You shouldn't procrastinate on these things...
**Player**: If you procrastinate, the surprise may turn into a shock...
**Player**: Koichi, no more hesitation!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah! I should not procrastinate!
**Mizuki Koichi**: It'll be Tildant's festival of confession in two days...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm going to give Caius a surprise on the day of the festival!

**-Intimacy Level 11**

*Airship, bridge...*
**Billy**: Captain, someone sent you a letter!
**Player**: A letter for me?
**Player**: Let me see...
**Player**: 'Dear Player...'
**Player**: Strong and neat hand writing...
**Player**: Who could it be?
**Player**: 'Ever since Koichi and I arrived in Luxium... '
**Player**: 'You have helped us on many occasions, but we have not thanked you properly, Player...'
**Player**: 'Today is a special day in Tildant, a day to express our gratitude and love.'
**Player**: 'We would like to invite you to our home as guest... '
**Player**: 'We sincerely hope you can come.'
**Player**: 'Caius Lao Bistail'
**Player**: So Caius wants to invite me to his home...
**Player**: He even sent an invitation by mail, so formal...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player!
**Player**: Koichi?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, today I plan to show Caius 'The Tildant Sun'!
**Player**: Tildant Sun?
**Mizuki Koichi**: It's an Illusion Arcana I invented.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius is the prince of Tildant...
**Mizuki Koichi**: He has always given me warmth and protected me, like the sun...
**Mizuki Koichi**: This illusion will also allows Caius to see Tildant's past...
**Mizuki Koichi**: That's why I am calling it 'The Tildant Sun'!
**Mizuki Koichi**: It doesn't sound strange, does it?
**Player**: No no...
**Player**: Rather, this suits Caius perfectly!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Really?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius said he's going to make me a feast tonight...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I've decided to show him this Illusion Arcana after dinner!
**Player**: Tonight?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, do you think I should dress more formally tonight?
**Player**: Hold on a second, I just received a letter from Caius inviting me to your home for dinner tonight...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius?
**Player**: Yeah, here it is...
*Koichi takes Caius's letter...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: This really is Caius's handwriting...
**Player**: I'll just decline the invitation then.
**Player**: I don't want to disturb your romantic date.
**Mizuki Koichi**: No! Caius must have invited you for a reason...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Since he invited you, Player, you should come!
**Mizuki Koichi**: With you by my side, I wouldn't feel so nervous performing arcana!
**Player**: Then... thank you for your kind offer!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yep!
**Player**: (Is it really okay...)
*That afternoon, Never Isle becomes engulfed by thick, dark clouds.*
*Soon heavy rain starts pouring down...*
**Scene transition**:
*Around sunset, at Caius and Koichi's home...*
**Caius**: Player, welcome to our home.
**Player**: Sorry, I've gotten the floor all wet...
**Player**: I've never seen such heavy rain on Never Isle...
**Caius**: It's no problem.
**Caius**: Have a seat Player. I just need to check on the cooking.
**Player**: Sure!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Oh, Player.
**Player**: Koichi? What's with that expression?
**Mizuki Koichi**: I rented a great suit...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But on the way home I got caught in the rain. The suit's completely drenched...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Why does it have to be today, such heavy rain...
**Mizuki Koichi**: What bad luck...
**Player**: It's okay. It's just a suit. As long as you are ready...
**Player**: The Tildant Sun' is the key!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yep!
**Caius**: Koichi, Player, dinner's ready!
**Player**: Let's go, let's eat first...
*Several hours later...*
**Player**: So full...
**Player**: Caius, you're a master chef!
**Caius**: Player, you have helped us so much...
**Caius**: You have really looked after Koichi...
**Caius**: I can't thank you enough. This is just a small meal.
**Player**: Caius, you're too polite. We're all friends here!
**Player**: (Whisper) Koichi, you're up!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Right!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Cai...
**Caius**: Actually, there's another reason I invited Player today!
**Mizuki Koichi**: ?
**Player**: Another reason?
**Caius**: Player...
**Caius**: I hope you can...
**Caius**: Look after Koichi and give him the happiness he deserves.
**Player**: Huh?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius?
**Mizuki Koichi**: What... are you saying?
**Caius**: Koichi, it's fine. I just want you to be happy...
**Caius**: When Koichi first came to Never Isle, he'd leave early everyday and come back late at night, and he always seem so distracted when he gets home.
**Caius**: I thought about finding out why, but then I realized, there must be a reason why Koichi didn't want to tell me.
**Caius**: Not long after, I saw Koichi and Player talking at the Arcana Academy.
**Player**: (The time Koichi had difficulty learning arcana?)
**Caius**: I thought, it must have been that day when you started having feelings for each other...
**Caius**: Because ever since that day, Koichi would often go to Hottie Bar on Player's airship.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius, it's not what you think!
**Mizuki Koichi**: There's nothing going on between me and Player!
**Caius**: Maybe Koichi hasn't yet realized his own feelings towards Player...
**Caius**: A few nights ago, I saw Koichi confess his feelings to Player on the training field.
**Caius**: Koichi looked so happy then, just like back in Tildant...
**Caius**: Since coming to Luxium, that was the first time Koichi looked like that.
**Player**: Huh? Night, training field? Koichi to me?
**Player**: Urgh... Caius, I think you've misunderstood, that was...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player!
**Player**: Koichi, it is time to tell Caius the truth!
**Mizuki Koichi**: ...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius, since coming to Luxium, I've been learning arcana...
*Koichi told Caius about his experience with learning arcana...*
**Caius**: To help me and protect me in battle?
**Caius**: But Koichi, on the training field you confessed your love to Player...
**Player**: That was when Koichi used himself to test his Illusion Arcana. It worked a little too well...
**Player**: Koichi's words were actually meant for you!
**Player**: That night...
*Scene transition*
*That night...*
**Player**: Koichi, what's up?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius! I have to tell you something!
**Player**: Err... but I'm not Caius...
**Player**: At times like this, there's probably no point explaining to Koichi...
**Player**: Koichi, what do you want to say to me?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius, I love you!
**Player**: Okay, okay!
**Mizuki Koichi**: What about you, Caius? Do you love me?
**Player**: Of... of course... I love...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius!
**Player**: ... help...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius, I'm so sorry, I'm... too small...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius... can't fit...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But I'll try my best!
**Player**: Okay...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius, whenever I miss you, you are always there, holding me tightly...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius, you always love me with all your heart...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I want to be with you!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Promise me, don't leave me!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I love Caius so much...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player?
**Mizuki Koichi**: What happened?
**Player**: Oh, you're back?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Back?
**Mizuki Koichi**: You mean just now that was...
**Player**: Yeah, you were stuck in your own illusion...
*Scene transition*
**Player**: This is reality now...
**Player**: Caius, you misunderstood!
**Caius**: Koichi...
**Caius**: In my spare time, I have looked through some of the magic books in the Arcana Academy...
**Caius**: There is no such illusional magic in Luxium, is there?
**Caius**: And ever since that night when you confessed to Player, you always carry a smile on your face when you come home.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius, you...
**Mizuki Koichi**: You've really misunderstood us!
**Player**: Caius!
**Player**: Koichi's Illusion Arcana was created for you...
**Player**: So of course there are no records of it in the books in the Arcana Academy.
**Player**: Maybe you don't believe this, but Koichi has worked very hard for you!
**Player**: Koichi, let's show Caius the results of your hard work and determination!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius...
**Mizuki Koichi**: This was meant to be a surprise...
**Mizuki Koichi**: This is the arcana I created for you: Illusion 'Tildant Sun'!
**Mizuki Koichi**: This has to work!
*...*
*...*
*...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: !!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Again!
**Mizuki Koichi**: No...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius... that wasn't it...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius!
**Caius**: Koichi!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius... sorry...
**Player**: Hey! Hey! It's raining outside...
**Caius**: Koichi!
**Player**: I better not go after him. If I do the misunderstanding might get even worse...
**Player**: But... the rain is so heavy, and neither of them has an umbrella...
**Player**: Oh! The misunderstanding is already too big. Let's stay out of this!

**-Intimacy Level 12**

*Never Isle, outside the residence of Caius and Koichi's...*
**Player**: It's raining so heavily. Where have they gone?
*A gigantic figure in the direction of the harbor...*
**Player**: Caius?
*Never Isle, harbor...*
**Player**: Caius, where is Koichi?
*Caius points to somewhere nearby...*
*In the direction of Caius's finger, you see Koichi sitting under a tree not far away...*
**Player**: Caius, take this umbrella...
**Caius**: I don't need it, Player, please go and keep Koichi company.
**Player**: Caius, don't. There is really nothing going on between me and Koichi...
**Caius**: I know...
**Player**: What?
**Caius**: When Koichi apologized to me in tears just now...
**Caius**: I realized I got it wrong...
**Player**: If so, then why are you still standing here?
**Player**: Koichi needs your comfort the most right now!
**Caius**: If I go over now, Koichi might run away...
**Caius**: But most importantly...
**Caius**: I have let Koichi down...
**Player**: ?
**Caius**: When Koichi was having a hard time learning arcana
**Caius**: When he needed me the most...
**Caius**: I was not there with him. I didn't even realize this at all...
**Caius**: Not only that, I suspected Koichi, and I misunderstood him...
**Caius**: I even made him cry his eyes out...
**Caius**: I... I haven't done my duty as a husband.
**Caius**: I don't think Koichi would ever forgive me...
**Player**: ...
**Player**: It's no use crying over spilt milk.
**Player**: Why don't you go and console Koichi!
**Caius**: I'll keep Koichi within my sight...
**Player**: ...
**Player**: Then at least use the umbrella. Don't catch a cold!
*The harbor, under the tree...*
**Player**: Koichi...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player.
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm sorry...
**Player**: Why are you apologizing to me?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, I screwed up...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I completely screwed up...
**Mizuki Koichi**: At the most critical moment, I couldn't focus my will on Caius...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I was worried that the Illusion Arcana would fail...
**Mizuki Koichi**: And then, it failed!
**Player**: That was not your fault, Koichi...
**Player**: No one could stay calm under that situation...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, tell me...
**Mizuki Koichi**: What have I been doing all this time?
**Mizuki Koichi**: I learn arcana because I want to protect Caius. I want to become stronger...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But I completely ignored Caius because I was learning arcana...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm his wife. I should have been with him all the time...
**Mizuki Koichi**: In the end, I have not learnt arcana properly...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I am... really...
**Mizuki Koichi**: The worst!
**Player**: Koichi...
**Mizuki Koichi**: (Sobbing)... Player...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I've let Caius down, and Player got blamed because of me...
**Mizuki Koichi**: As the bride of Caius, I am really out of duty.
**Player**: Silly...
**Player**: How come the two of you are so different in size, but so similar in thoughts?
**Mizuki Koichi**: What?
**Player**: Caius's misunderstanding has been resolved.
**Player**: He just thought you wouldn't forgive him!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius?
**Mizuki Koichi**: It was clearly my fault...
**Player**: Sigh... you just love each other too much...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I don't know...
**Player**: Okay then! Now go home and do what couples do. Let today be in the past!
**Mizuki Koichi**: ...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah... okay...
*Koichi stands up...*
**Player**: Take the umbrella with you. Don't catch a cold!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah... thank you...
*...*
*The rain on Never Isle is getting lighter, but there's no sign of it stopping any time soon...*

**-Intimacy Level 13**

*A few days later...*
*An invitation from Caius is once again sent to Hottie Bar...*
**Player**: Err... I have a bad feeling about this...
**Player**: But I haven't heard anything from Koichi these past few days...
**Player**: I wonder how things are going with Koichi and Caius...
**Player**: I think I should pay them a visit.
*Some time later, at Caius and Koichi's residence...*
**Caius**: Player, you're here!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, welcome!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Come and have a seat...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I've prepared some food with Caius today.
**Player**: Oh? You guys cooked together.
**Caius**: Yeah, I hope you would like it.
**Player**: I'm looking forward to it.
**Player**: It's great that you guys have finally made up!
*Caius and Koichi exchange glances...*
**Caius**: ...
**Mizuki Koichi**: ...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yup!
*You smell something burning...*
**Player**: Caius, Koichi, something's burnt...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Ahh! My cooking...
**Caius**: I'm sorry, Koichi, I lost track of time...
**Mizuki Koichi**: No no, it's my fault. I'm the one who's supposed to keep track of time...
**Caius**: No, Koichi, it was me...
**Player**: Hey, if you keep on arguing, we'll have nothing to eat...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Ahh!
*The two of them run into the kitchen...*
**Player**: I hope they'll be alright...
*Moments later, dinner table...*
*Caius and Koichi have prepared a tableful of dishes...*
**Player**: Wow, that's a lot of food.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Although one of the dishes was burnt...
**Player**: It's okay, we still have plenty here...
**Player**: And they all look delicious. Thank you so much.
**Caius**: This is nothing compared to what Player has done for us.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yes! Thanks to Player, Caius and I were able to make up.
**Caius**: It's an honor to treat our friend with a feast!
**Caius**: Player, please don't be shy!
**Player**: Then I'll begin!
*Just when you're about to pick up the cutlery and enjoy the feast...*
*You notice both Koichi and Caius are staring at you...*
**Player**: Eh, don't you... want to eat?
**Caius**: Oh, I'm sorry. I was a bit absent-minded...
**Caius**: Koichi, let's taste the results of our hard work...
**Mizuki Koichi**: It's mostly made by Caius. Caius, you should eat first.
**Caius**: No, Koichi, you eat first...
**Player**: I say, how about we eat together...
**Player**: 3... 2... 1... let's dig in.
*At that moment, everyone is shocked by the incredibly salty taste...*
**Player**: !!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Hmm...
**Caius**: Cough... cough...
**Player**: Eww...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Ahh, the sauce I made is too rich...
**Caius**: No, Koichi, I put too much salt in it!
**Caius**: Sorry Player, let me re-do this...
*Caius leaves the dinner table...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: ...
**Player**: Koichi, what happened between you guys?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Actually, nothing...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Just that, since that day, I kind of don't know how to get along with Caius...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm afraid that I might do something that Caius could misunderstand...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I... couldn't focus on cooking...
**Player**: I understand... after all, you've just been through a lot...
**Player**: I guess it's the same for Caius...
**Player**: He's worried that he might do something that hurts you...
**Player**: That's why he can't focus on anything else...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I believe things will get better for us.
**Mizuki Koichi**: I've given up on learning arcana...
**Player**: What? You gave up?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yes! My top priority, as a wife, is to keep Caius company...
**Mizuki Koichi**: After all, my initial purpose to learn arcana is because of Caius. You don't want to put the cart before the horse.
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm going to keep him company and foster our relationship carefully.
**Mizuki Koichi**: One day, we'll get the feeling back!

**-Intimacy Level 14**

*At night, Never Isle harbor...*
*The harbor is a lot more crowded than usual...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius!
**Caius**: Koichi!
**Caius**: Koichi, I love you!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius, I love you too!
**Miles**: Hey! Will you guys please stop being so lovey-dovey? I've been watching you all the way.
*Caius and Koichi don't seem to hear what Miles said...*
**Miles**: Grrr...
**Player**: Miles, how did you end up with Koichi and Caius?
**Miles**: They broke into the Shadowsâ€˜ stronghold. My team happened to be there, so...
**Miles**: We brought them back to Never Isle...
**Player**: Caius and Koichi broke into the Shadows' stronghold?
**Player**: Did they get hurt?
**Miles**: The big guy had a few scratches, nothing serious. Just that...
**Caius**: Ah! My darling!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius... Please stop... It's embarrassing...
**Miles**: They have been acting very intimate all the way...
**Miles**: Urgh... I should have left them there. They didn't really need my help anyway...
**Player**: They didn't need your help?
**Miles**: When I arrived, the big guy had already taken down almost all the Shadows...
**Miles**: So today all I got was a few delusional deserters. And I still had to watch these two flirting the entire journey. Such a rotten day!
**Miles**: Player, is your bar open? I need a drink!
**Player**: Sure, anytime!
*Miles leaves with distaste...*
**Caius**: Player!
**Player**: Caius, I heard that you came across the Shadows today...
**Player**: Did you get hurt?
**Caius**: No I didn't. Neither did Koichi.
**Player**: I heard from Miles that Caius alone defeated all the Shadows in that stronghold...
**Player**: That's incredible...
**Caius**: Hahaha! Actually, Koichi did it.
**Player**: Koichi?
**Mizuki Koichi**: I haven't done much. I was just lucky.
**Caius**: Koichi, don't be so modest.
**Player**: What happened actually?
**Caius**: This morning we left Never Isle and were going to spend a few days travelling in Luxium.
**Mizuki Koichi**: We wanted to get the feeling back by travelling.
**Caius**: We wanted to see some different sceneries, so we took a country road.
**Mizuki Koichi**: And we accidently entered a Shadows' base...
*Scene - The past, a Shadow base near a waterfall*
*Earlier today...*
**Caius**: ...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Well, well, well, looks like we have guests...
**Shadow Hierophant**: This is rare...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Don't you want to sit a little longer with us?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius!
**Caius**: We are just ordinary travelers...
**Caius**: We are not looking for trouble!
**Caius**: Koichi, let's go!
**Caius**: (Whisper) Stay close to me, Koichi...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah!
**Caius**: Get out of my way!
**Shadow Hierophant**: I'm sorry, but you can't leave!
**Shadow Hierophant**: A human of this gigantic stature would make a perfect guinea pig...
**Shadow Hierophant**: And this little guy would also make a good lab rat!
**Shadow Hierophant**: How could I let these precious test subjects get away?
**Caius**: Anyone who dare touch Koichi will die!
*Caius beats up some of the attacking Shadow*
**Shadow Hierophant**: This big guy looks quite strong.
**Shadow Hierophant**: But...
**Shadow Hierophant**: You're protecting that little guy, and he'll be your weakness...
**Mizuki Koichi**: !!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Concentrate firepower. Attack the little guy!
**Shadow Mage**: Yes!
**Caius**: !!
*The Shadow mages start casting spells at Koichi but Caius gets between them and absorbs the blasts*
**Caius**: Hmm!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius, don't!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Humph, tough guy, still keeping a straight face when under attack...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Let's see how much longer you can last.
**Shadow Hierophant**: Keep attacking!
*The Shadow mages cast even more spells that Caius blocks*
**Caius**: Hmm...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius...
**Caius**: Koichi, I'm fine...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Again and again, Caius gets hurt from protecting me...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Is there nothing else I can do other than standing here and holding Caius back?
*More Shadow spells hit Caius*
**Caius**: Hmm...
**Caius**: Koichi, I'm going to stall them. Find a way to escape!
**Mizuki Koichi**: No, Caius, I won't leave without you...
**Shadow Hierophant**: This is the final round. Concentrate all the Shadow flux and attack!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Dead bodies... are great for experiments too!
**Mizuki Koichi**: !
**Mizuki Koichi**: Nooooo!
*Koichi rushes at the Shadow and uses arcana to create a large, pink circle under the Shadow*
*The Shadow get into a daze, sparkles of pink flux and hearts are focused around their heads*
**Caius**: Koichi?
**Shadow Hierophant**: Attack, you guys, what happened... wha....
**Shadow Hierophant**: Where...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Am I?
**Shadow Hierophant**: Huh? Why I'm all naked?
**Shadow Hierophant**: Wow, big fellow, your... down there... it's so...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Hey! Don't! You'll break me!
**Caius**: Koichi, what's going on?
**Mizuki Koichi**: They got hit by my Illusion Arcana 'Sun of Tildant'!
**Caius**: !!
**Caius**: That's incredible, Koichi!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius, now!
*Caius attacks the confused Shadow*
**Shadow Swordsman**: Oh, please, stop it. I can't take it anymore...
**Shadow Swordsman**: Wooo!
**Shadow Mage**: Ah, ahhh... ah!
**Shadow Mage**: Keep going, don't stop!
**Shadow Mage**: Hmm!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Your thing is not human at all...
**Shadow Hierophant**: Stay away from me!
**Caius**: Pray to your god!
**Shadow Hierophant**: Ahhhhh!
*Scene - The present, Never Isle at night*
**Player**: Did you use 'Sun of Tildant' to disable all the Shadows?
**Player**: That's awesome, Koichi!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Ohh... don't get me started. 'Sun of Tildant' is not supposed to be used like that...
**Mizuki Koichi**: It was an emergency...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I transmitted my memory with Caius in Tildant... to the Shadows by mistake...
**Player**: Eh.. suddenly I'm jealous of those Shadows...
**Caius**: Hahaha!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Stop laughing. Those are some of my most precious memories...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I didn't want to show the Shadows...
**Caius**: But Koichi saved me with it, didn't you?
**Caius**: Koichi's love for me has conquered those Shadows!
**Mizuki Koichi**: !!
**Caius**: 'Sun of Tildant'...
**Caius**: Koichi, you are my sun.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius?
**Mizuki Koichi**: No, Caius, the Sun of Tildant refers to you...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I know nothing. I don't deserve it...
**Caius**: Koichi! You, you are my sun!
**Mizuki Koichi**: No, Caius, you are, my sun! The Sun of Tildant!
**Player**: Okay, you guys should stop...
**Player**: In my original world, there is a constellation called Gemini, which contains two stars circling each other...
**Player**: You are each other's sun.
**Caius**: You're right! My love for Koichi is like a star. It will never change even after thousands of years!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Me too! I will be by Caius' side forever!
*Some time later...*
**Caius**: Koichi, can you teach me arcana?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Oh?
**Caius**: Seeing Koichi use arcana makes me want to learn too.
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm not good enough. Caius, you can learn at the Arcana Academy. The teachers there are very good...
**Caius**: Koichi, let's go study arcana together!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Sure, but please don't say I'm stupid!
**Caius**: Koichi is more senior than me. How could I say Koichi is stupid?

### Dates

**This section contains spoilers for Date scenes.**

**People's Gaze**

**-Intro**

*On Never Isle...*
**Inhabitants of Never Isle**: That guy... is...
**Inhabitants of Never Isle**: Seems to be... another... bride...
**Inhabitants of Never Isle**: Huh?
**Inhabitants of Never Isle**: Yeah...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Sigh...
**Player**: What's up Koichi?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Well...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Not much, maybe I'm overthinking it.
**Player**: You shouldn't keep things bottled up...
*Scene transition*
**Mizuki Koichi**: I keep feeling that people give Caius and me a strange look on Never Isle...
**Mizuki Koichi**: And they're always whispering something among themselves...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Just like those people back there...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Have I done something wrong?
**Player**: Well, seeing you two together, it'd be strange to not have a reaction...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Huh? Why?
**Player**: Well, Caius is a big fellow, even when compared to a Gyee beastman...
**Player**: And Koichi, you have the build of a normal human...
**Player**: That kind of height difference, anyone would be curious.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius is quite tall...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But that's not what they're talking about...
**Player**: Huh? What else?
**Mizuki Koichi**: That shorty is the bride...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Man bride, what the...
**Player**: They're probably just jealous of you and Caius!
**Player**: Who wouldn't want a husband like Caius, one that gives you a sense of security.
**Player**: Everyone's jealous of you.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius is so kind and gentle. It's normal that people would feel envious!
**Mizuki Koichi**: But now that people are talking about us...
**Mizuki Koichi**: It is because I'm not good enough for Caius, is it?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Now that I think about it...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Back on Earth, I was just an ordinary student, nothing special...
**Mizuki Koichi**: My grades were not outstanding. Other than basketball, I was not good at anything...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But a person like me became Caius's bride.
**Mizuki Koichi**: That's probably how everyone sees me in Tildant...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Maybe because Caius is a prince, and I'm his bride...
**Mizuki Koichi**: That's why people wouldn't dare to say anything in front of us, but behind my back...
**Mizuki Koichi**: People must be calling me a peasant...
**Mizuki Koichi**: That I can't have children for Caius...
**Player**: Koichi...

**-Work hard to become someone that's good enough for Caius! - 900 Intimacy**

**Player**: Think of Caius as your role model and become a great man like him!
**Player**: Once you have the same ability and achievements as Caius...
**Player**: People would stop talking!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Think of Caius as a role model?
**Player**: I think if Koichi becomes stronger...
**Player**: When people see Caius, they would say...
**Player**: Wow, see, that's Koichi's husband!'...
**Player**: Caius would be happy hearing that.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah!
**Mizuki Koichi**: If I become stronger, I can also share some of Caius's burdens!
**Mizuki Koichi**: For Caius! I'll try my best!

**-Don't care too much about what other people think! - 700 Intimacy**

**Player**: Koichi, there will always be gossipers out there...
**Player**: You'll get too tired if you care about everything they say!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I don't care what they say about me...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But I'm worried these gossips about me will affect Caius...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius would take it personally.
**Player**: I don't think Caius would care about other people's gossips.
**Player**: The day you arrived in Luxium, Caius was willing to do anything to protect you!
**Player**: I'm sure he wouldn't want to see you get upset about these gossips!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yup! You're right!
**Mizuki Koichi**: For Caius, I shouldn't let these things upset me!

**-It's fine as long as Caius doesn't mind. - 500 Intimacy**

**Player**: Would Caius treat you badly because of these gossips?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Of course not.
**Player**: Then why would you care?
**Player**: These are just gossips by jealous people who have nothing better to do...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Although Caius doesn't care...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But I'm worried that they would dislike Caius because of me...
**Player**: There's not much interaction between Caius and the people on Never Isle. It doesn't really matter whether they like him or not.
**Mizuki Koichi**: But back in Tildant, he's the prince. He's going to be the king of Tildant one day.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Titans are a symbol of prosperity to the king...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius would need as much support as possible...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But if my incompetence as a wife affects Caius...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm worried...
**Mizuki Koichi**: ...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Oh, sorry Player, I've said way too much that has nothing to do with you.
**Mizuki Koichi**: I think... I need some time alone...
**Player**: Oh...

**Festival Gift**

**-Intro**

**Mizuki Koichi**: Player!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Do you have time?
**Mizuki Koichi**: I've got something to ask you...
**Player**: What's up?
*Scene transition*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Thank you so much for helping me!
**Player**: You haven't told me what happened. What's the 'thank you' for?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Just something simple.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Tomorrow is a festival of Tildant...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I want to buy a present for Caius.
**Mizuki Koichi**: But I don't know what I should buy...
**Player**: Festival, what kind of festival?
**Player**: Something festive?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Actually...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I don't know what festival it is...
**Player**: Oh?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Titans is a race that symbolizes prosperity...
**Mizuki Koichi**: So there are many festivals and celebrations in Tildant...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I still can't remember every festival in Tildant...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Although I don't remember the name of the festival, but tomorrow is indeed a festival in Tildant!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I think... I should at least get something to express my feelings...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Even if it's just to help Caius get a taste of the festivity.
**Player**: Then buy something Caius likes.
**Player**: What does Caius usually like?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Hmm... Caius is the prince in Tildant, also the successor to the throne...
**Mizuki Koichi**: He doesn't really need anything, and he's not into luxurious products either...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I know he likes reading. He's very interested in knowledge that he is unfamiliar with!
**Player**: Yeah... in that case, a present...

**-(Priapus's Statue...) - 500 Intimacy**

**Mizuki Koichi**: Priapus?
**Player**: His statues are very popular in Luxium...
**Player**: It's a perfect souvenir!
**Player**: Oh! And I happen to have one on me!
*You show the Priapus's Statue to Koichi...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Oh, this is it...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I heard it's quite expensive.
**Mizuki Koichi**: I've seen this before when I was shopping with Caius...
**Mizuki Koichi**: He seemed...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Uninterested...
**Player**: Oh? Okay...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah... it's really hard to pick a present...

**-(Encyclopedia of Luxium...) - 900 Intimacy**

**Player**: I figure the only thing that could satisfy Caius...
**Player**: Is knowledge!
**Player**: Koichi, you should buy an encyclopedia of this world!
**Player**: Caius would love it!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Encyclopedia...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Helps you grasp the knowledge of this world very quickly...
**Mizuki Koichi**: This is an awesome idea!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius will love it!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'll go buy one now!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Thank you, Player!

**-(A hand-made present...) - 700 Intimacy**

**Player**: Hmm... this is difficult...
**Player**: Things for sale are usually quite ordinary...
**Player**: Caius is not really into the usual luxurious products...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm sorry. I wish I know more about Caius...
**Player**: No no, it's not Koichi's fault. Caius's identity is so special that it's hard to think of something for him...
**Player**: Maybe only something that doesn't exist in this world would...
**Player**: Something that doesn't exist!
**Player**: Koichi, you should hand-make a present for Caius!
**Mizuki Koichi**: What? Me?
**Mizuki Koichi**: But I don't know anything...
**Player**: You may not know how to make something complicated, but I'm sure you can make something simple!
**Player**: A present handmade by Koichi would be very unique...
**Player**: It'll be more precious than any other presents available for sale!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah... it makes sense...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I got it!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Thank you, I'll try my best!

**Cool Sport**

**-Intro**

*Never Isle...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Hey!
*Koichi is practicing freestyle basketball in the square...*
*Koichi's movement is so smooth and coordinative...*
*He's obviously very skilled at basketball...*
**Player**: (Say hi to Koichi...)
*Scene transition*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Huff... huff...
**Player**: Koichi you're very good!
**Player**: It'll be great if there's a basketball hoop here...
**Mizuki Koichi**: !!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, how do you know about basketball?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Are you...from my...
**Player**: Yes, I'm from earth as well.
**Mizuki Koichi**: I didn't know...
**Player**: Koichi, you play basketball very well...
**Player**: Were you an athlete back on earth?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Not quite good enough to be an athlete...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I was in the basketball club, but my skill is only mediocre...
**Player**: You're being too modest...
**Player**: You don't often see someone who can play basketball as good as you.
**Player**: There are many words written on the basketball...
**Player**: You must've been very popular on earth.
**Mizuki Koichi**: This basketball was a present from a few good friends...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But I'm really not as good as you think...
*Koichi looks up into the sky...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: I wonder... my friends at school and my uncle...
**Mizuki Koichi**: How are they doing right now?
**Player**: They must be missing you a lot, in your home world.
**Mizuki Koichi**: That's not possible.
**Player**: Huh? Why?
**Mizuki Koichi**: I've entered into an agreement with Caius. I've been completely converted into a Tildant.
**Mizuki Koichi**: My existence in that world has been completely erased...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I guess... no one would remember Mizuki Koichi now.
**Player**: I'm sorry...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Don't be!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm not sad at all because this is my choice!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I chose to stay with Caius, who loves me the most.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Speaking of sports, are there any interesting sports here on Never Isle?
**Mizuki Koichi**: I would love to try!
**Player**: Oh? Never Isle?

**-All I can think of is fitness training... - 500 Intimacy**

**Mizuki Koichi**: Fitness training?
**Mizuki Koichi**: So that's why…
**Mizuki Koichi**: I thought that on Never Isle, where regular humans are common, I could find some confidence in my height and physique...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But everyone on Never Isle looks so strong.
*Koichi glanced at himself...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: ......
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, where can I get fit?
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm thinking, if I can get into shape, then Caius... might enjoy touching... at night...
**Player**: You can look for Lee if you want to get fit.
**Player**: He's the best fitness instructor on Never Isle!
**Player**: But wait, did you just say... touch?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Nahh... nothing.

**-Does... fighting count? - 500 Intimacy**

**Mizuki Koichi**: By 'fighting' do you mean boxing?
**Player**: Emm, not really...
**Player**: It's simply beating each other up...
**Player**: But with more restraint to make sure no one gets seriously injured...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Sounds like dirty fighting to me...
**Player**: I won't say... you're wrong...
*Koichi looks at himself...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: I think basketball is more my thing...

**-Uh... you've got me... - 900 Intimacy**

**Player**: Ever since coming to Luxium, I've been so focused on charging the Wheel of Fate...
**Player**: I haven't really paid much attention to... sports...
**Player**: Plus, Luxium is facing threats from the Shadows...
**Player**: Gyees have also been facing threats from the White Capes...
**Player**: With things like this, they're unlikely to develop sports...
**Mizuki Koichi**: It does seem that way...
**Mizuki Koichi**: So, in that case...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Let's make basketball the most trendy sport in Luxium!
**Player**: What? Basketball?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah! Even in a state of war...
**Mizuki Koichi**: People on Never Isle need sports for relaxation.
**Mizuki Koichi**: And there's nothing more relaxing than sweating it out on the basketball court!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player! I've decided to start with you!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Come on, let me teach you dribbling first.

**Foundation of Arcana**

The meaning of Arcana is not only to burn your enemies to ashes...

**-Part 1**

*Scene - Hottie Bar*
**Player**: Koichi?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player!
**Player**: Koichi, you finally have time to visit my Hottie Bar today!
**Player**: That's unusual.
*Choice 1.1 - Is it because you miss me?*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Ugh... not really... actually...
*Choice 1.2 - Are you on holiday today?*
*Koichi shakes his head...*
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Mizuki Koichi**: I need to ask Player for a favor.
**Player**: Oh?
**Player**: What is it? Tell me.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Can I borrow some wine from the Hottie Bar?
**Player**: Koichi, if you wanna drink, just drink.
**Player**: You don't have to tell me.
**Mizuki Koichi**: The wine is not for drinking...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm concocting some arcana medicine, and I need wine as an ingredient.
**Mizuki Koichi**: I've asked around on Never Isle. Everybody says Player's Hottie Bar is the best.
**Mizuki Koichi**: So I need to ask Player for help.
**Player**: Use wine for arcana medicine?
**Player**: I have never heard of this before...
**Mizuki Koichi**: It is indeed unprecedented.
**Mizuki Koichi**: It's theoretically sound, and also it's my first trial...
**Player**: Oh? Koichi's... original arcana medicine?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Actually, it's an ingredient for the Illusion Arcana...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I came up with a new Illusion Arcana. Theoretically it should work, but it's still in the experimental phase.
**Player**: That's... awesome!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Nah, it's still in the experimental phase...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Not sure if it would work...
**Player**: No, Koichi, that's great! You have only just started learning arcana...
**Player**: And you've already invented your own arcana!
**Player**: Hottie! Give me 5 shots of every liquor and cocktail in Hottie bar!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Wow! I don't need that much. One glass of wine should be enough!
**Hottie**: Order received, one moment please...
**Player**: The drinks in Hottie Bar are not simply alcohol mixed with water...
**Player**: Different drinks have different emotional contents!
**Player**: Maybe the arcana effect would be different based on the drink you use!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Different effect based on different drinks?
**Mizuki Koichi**: I didn't think about this...
**Player**: This is Koichi's original arcana medicine. As your friend, I'll give you my full support!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, thank you so much.
*Later...*
**Player**: Night Sky, Lonely Dessert, Bloody Sand...
**Player**: Yup! This is everything!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Wow, there are over ten types of drinks...
**Player**: No way you can carry all these by yourself...
**Player**: Let me help you carry them to the Arcana Academy.
*Scene - Arcana Academy, in the Arcana Tower*
*Some time later...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Thank you, Player. Just put them here.
**Player**: So this is the... the Arcana Tower?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yup!
**Mizuki Koichi**: The flux environment in the Arcana Tower creates a stable and safe experimental condition...
**Mizuki Koichi**: No matter what I do here, it won't affect the rest of Never Isle.
**Player**: I see...
**Player**: I thought this tower is only for climbing.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Now, the last ingredient alcohol is ready.
**Mizuki Koichi**: We can begin the Illusion Arcana experiment!
**Player**: Wow!

**-Choice 2.1 - What's your illusion like?**

**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah... how should I put it?
**Mizuki Koichi**: In theory, this arcana amplifies the receiver's signal from the hippocampus using wood flux...
**Mizuki Koichi**: In other words, it allows the receiver to see memories from the past...
**Mizuki Koichi**: This kind of recall feels very realistic. The receiver would feel as if he or she is reliving the past.
**Player**: See memories from the past?
**Player**: That's incredible, Koichi!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Nah...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I just want to use this arcana to let Caius relive our time together in Tildant.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Although he would never admit to it, I know he must be missing Tildant very much.
**Mizuki Koichi**: I want to use the arcana that I've learnt to help Caius in any way I can.
*Choice 2.1.1 - What's your illusion like?*
*Go to Choice 2.1*
*Choice 2.1.2 - Is this the illusion you're going to present to Caius?*
*Go to Choice 2.2*
*Choice 2.1.3 - (Suggest joining Koichi's experiment...)*
**Player**: Koichi, Koichi, your arcana sounds really cool...
**Player**: Can I join your experiment?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, you want to join my experiment?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah! Sure!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I have been experimenting all this time by myself...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I want to know what other people experience when under the effect of my arcana.
*Choice 2.1.4 - (Say goodbye, don't disturb Koichi's experiment...)*
**Player**: Then I'll leave you to it!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Well, Player!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Are you busy today?
**Player**: Um... no...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I don't want to bother you too much, but can you help me with something, Player?
**Mizuki Koichi**: I have been experimenting all this time by myself. I've never tried this arcana on anyone else...
**Mizuki Koichi**: So, I don't know what others would experience when under my arcana...
**Mizuki Koichi**: So... can I trouble you to tell me your experience when under my illusion?

**-Choice 2.2 - Is this the illusion you're going to present to Caius?**

**Mizuki Koichi**: Right! This is for Caius!
**Mizuki Koichi**: This illusion can theoretically let the receiver see memories from the past...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius and I have been here a while now...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Although he would never admit it, I know he must be missing Tildant very much.
**Mizuki Koichi**: If my illusion is successful, Caius will be able to relive the time in Tildant!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I think this will be helpful to Caius.
**Player**: Caius is so lucky to have you as his wife!
**Player**: I'm so jealous...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Hahaha, are you?
*Choice 2.2.1 - What's your illusion like?*
*Go to Choice 2.1*
*Choice 2.2.2 - Is this the illusion you're going to present to Caius?*
*Go to Choice 2.2*
*Choice 2.2.3 - (Suggest joining Koichi's experiment...)*
**Player**: Koichi, Koichi, your arcana sounds really cool...
**Player**: Can I join your experiment?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, you want to join my experiment?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah! Sure!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I have been experimenting all this time by myself...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I want to know what other people experience when under the effect of my arcana.
*Choice 2.2.4 - (Say goodbye, don't disturb Koichi's experiment...)*
**Player**: Then I'll leave you to it!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Well, Player!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Are you busy today?
**Player**: Um... no...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I don't want to bother you too much, but can you help me with something, Player?
**Mizuki Koichi**: I have been experimenting all this time by myself. I've never tried this arcana on anyone else...
**Mizuki Koichi**: So, I don't know what others would experience when under my arcana...
**Mizuki Koichi**: So... can I trouble you to tell me your experience when under my illusion?

*Conversation continues after choices*
**Player**: If I understand correctly...
**Player**: You want to use your Illusion Arcana on me?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Please!
**Player**: It won't... blow up, right?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Relax, I have tested this on myself...
**Mizuki Koichi**: It is very safe. There're no side effects...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Also, Player, you should already know...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I have never been able to use arcana to cause explosions, that's why I started learning illusion instead...
**Player**: Okay...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Hmmm... I see, I am asking too much...
**Player**: As long as it won't explode, bring it on!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player?
**Player**: I want to relive my memories as well...
**Player**: I'm curious what memories Koichi would make me relive.
**Player**: I hope it's not something embarrassing...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Haha, I'll try my best!
*Moments later...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Illusion Arcana is ready...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, I'm going to start!
**Player**: Okay!
*Koichi raises his hand and begins to use his arcana*
*Pink flower petals begin to surround Player*
**Player**: I can vaguely see something...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Does it work?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, what do you see?
*The petals disappear*
**Player**: !!
**Player**: The feeling... is gone...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Gone?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah...
**Mizuki Koichi**: For some reason, the illusion arcana was terminated early.
**Player**: Early termination?
**Mizuki Koichi**: It seems the experiment failed...
**Player**: Oh?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, do you feel unwell?
**Player**: No, I'm fine...
**Player**: However, even though it was a very short period of time... but...
*Choice 3.1 - I saw pink petals...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Pink petals?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Seems like Player has a very beautiful memory...
*Choice 3.2 - My surrounding area became blurry...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: The surrounding area became blurry?
**Mizuki Koichi**: I guess at least for a few seconds, the arcana worked...
*Choice 3.3 - I could feel my hometown...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Hometown...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, you are the same as me...
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Mizuki Koichi**: When I first tried this on myself, I could feel Tildant.
**Mizuki Koichi**: I think my Illusion Arcana did take effect...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But it only lasted for a few seconds...
**Mizuki Koichi**: It's still not very stable.
**Player**: Maybe something went wrong?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah! Let me check the foundation of the Illusion Arcana first...
**Mizuki Koichi**: First I need to control the wood flux to make sure it resonates with the receiver's flux...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Guide the resonating flux into the receiver's hippocampus...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Then use the flux to amplify the signal in a specific area of the hippocampus...
**Mizuki Koichi**: And maintain a constant output of flux to present the memories stably...
**Player**: It sounds... complicated...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah...
**Mizuki Koichi**: It's theoretically sound.
**Mizuki Koichi**: I've checked the materials multiple times, and they are all fine...
**Player**: Materials? Is it because of the alcohol?
**Mizuki Koichi**: No, Player's wine works really well.
**Mizuki Koichi**: When I did the experiment on myself before, I could only sense slight changes visually...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player's experience was obviously a lot more intense.
**Mizuki Koichi**: It proves that alcohol can actually help with illusion in arcana medicine!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm guessing... something went wrong during the final step in the control of constant flux output.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, let's try again!
**Mizuki Koichi**: If it only lasts for a few seconds again, then I can be sure there's something wrong with the final step!
**Player**: Yeah!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I have to find the cause this time!
*Koichi raises his hand*
*...*
*....*
*......*
**Player**: Koichi, have you started yet?
**Mizuki Koichi**: !!
**Mizuki Koichi**: How come... ?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, could you feel anything?
**Player**: No, have you started yet?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Ugh, actually... the experiment has ended...
**Player**: What? I couldn't feel anything at all...
**Mizuki Koichi**: What? This time it was a complete failure...
*Some time later...*
*Koichi repeated a few more times, but he didn't manage to succeed...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: How come...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I did manage to keep it going for a few seconds in the first trial...
**Mizuki Koichi**: How come I couldn't even activate the Illusion Arcana now?
**Mizuki Koichi**: I... don't get it!
**Player**: Koichi, there's nothing we can do here...
**Player**: Let's go consult the teachers at the academy.
**Player**: Maybe you'll find out why with the help of their guidance.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Okay!
*Scene - Moon's Garden*
*Moments later...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Instructor Moon!
**Moon**: Hey Koichi...
**Moon**: Have you come across any difficulties in your Illusion Arcana?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Instructor Moon knows me so well...
**Mizuki Koichi**: He immediately knows exactly what I came for.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Please have a look at this...
*Koichi shows Moon his Illusion Arcana research logs...*
**Moon**: Hmm...
**Moon**: Use flux to amplify the memories...
**Moon**: This is your original arcana!
**Moon**: That's unbelievable, Koichi!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Thank you, Instructor Moon...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But something went wrong...
**Mizuki Koichi**: The Illusion Arcana could not be activated...
**Player**: That's not completely true...
**Player**: The first trial succeeded, although it only lasted for a few seconds...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But I couldn't do it again in the following few trials...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Maybe the first success was just pure luck.
**Moon**: There's no such thing as luck in Illusion Arcana.
**Moon**: Koichi, your Illusion Arcana is theoretically sound.
**Moon**: First, resonate the wood flux with other flux, then control the receiver's brain signal with the resonating flux. That's some very interesting thoughts!
**Moon**: And it should work in theory!
**Moon**: However, to apply this theory to Illusion Arcana will require a large amount of flux reserve...
**Moon**: And mastery of flux control...
**Moon**: I know Koichi works very hard, but all these abilities take time to develop...
**Moon**: You can't rush it.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Oh, so am I not strong enough?
**Moon**: Let me finish...
**Moon**: Koichi, it is not impossible for you...
**Mizuki Koichi**: !!
**Moon**: The caster's will is the foundation of all Illusion Arcana...
**Moon**: I'm not worried about Koichi's will.
**Moon**: As you said, you did activate the arcana for a few seconds...
**Moon**: Which means Koichi's current flux reserve is just enough to activate the Illusion Arcana...
**Moon**: But the flux is not enough to keep the Illusion Arcana going...
**Player**: It means Koichi should take a rest...
**Player**: After his flux recovers, the experiment should work, am I right?
**Moon**: Exactly!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Sleeping is the way to flux recovery...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But in that case, I will miss my Arcana Tower appointment...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I don't know when I can make another appointment again...
**Moon**: There's another way.
*Moon hands two plants to Koichi...*
**Moon**: This is Elly's Breath.
**Moon**: Take it before your next experiment...
**Moon**: Within a short time, it can provide you with extra supplementary flux.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Really?
**Player**: Moon, please give a bit more to Koichi. This is the arcana he's going to present to his lover.
**Moon**: I can't. Although Elly's Breath can enhance one's arcana ability, it is poisonous when overdosed!
**Moon**: I can only give you two per day! If you finish these, take a rest and continue tomorrow!
**Moon**: Arcana is not something you can achieve overnight!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I see, Instructor Moon. I understand now!
**Moon**: Let me know when your experiment is successful!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Sure!
*Koichi and Player run to the front entrance of the Arcana Academy*
*Koichi suddenly stops*
**Player**: Koichi?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, I only have 2 chances left for today...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I... want to play safe...
**Player**: What do you mean?
**Mizuki Koichi**: If I fail these two additional chances given by Instructor Moon...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I don't know when I can reserve the Arcana Tower again...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I want to make this arcana ready as soon as possible...
**Mizuki Koichi**: So that I can present it to Caius sooner!
**Player**: Koichi, you are very motivated...
*Choice 4.1 - But please remember this, more haste leads to less speed.*
**Mizuki Koichi**: I understand that... and because of that, I want to be safe...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I want to show Principal Vundo my theory...
*Choice 4.2 - I'll support you fully, go for it!*
**Mizuki Koichi**: With Player by my side, I feel so much more confident...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I want to show Principal Vundo my theory...
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Player**: That's a good idea!
**Player**: With some guidance from the arcana authority, you might discover something new!
**Player**: Let's go see him now!
*Scene - Arcana Academy Library*
*Some time later...*
**Vundo**: !!!
**Vundo**: Control your own wood flux and resonate with the receiver's flux...
**Vundo**: Affect the receiver's nerve center with the resonating flux...
**Vundo**: Use this as a theoretical basis to create illusions...
**Vundo**: You even use alcohol as supplementary arcana medicine to improve the arcana success rate...
**Vundo**: Great thinking, Koichi!
**Vundo**: You are very talented in Illusion Arcana....
**Vundo**: You've already begun your independent Illusion Arcana research at such a young age. That's incredible!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Principal Vundo, I am flattered.
**Player**: But this Illusion Arcana can't be activated...
**Player**: Koichi and I have tried a few times, but it just wouldn't work...
**Player**: Can we get some advice from you please, Principal Vundo?
**Vundo**: The basic principles of this Illusion Arcana is nothing complicated...
**Vundo**: But to activate it stably requires mastery of arcana...
**Vundo**: I guess right now Koichi just doesn't have that kind of ability yet...
**Mizuki Koichi**: So it's the same issue again...
**Vundo**: Yeah... if you can modify your experiment slightly...
**Vundo**: For example...
**Vundo**: Although using alcohol as supplementary arcana medicine can help the receiver relax and increase the chance of the Illusion Arcana succeeding...
**Vundo**: There's still room for improvement...
**Vundo**: When your wood flux resonate with the receiver's flux, if you can add in arcana flux to support the resonation...
**Vundo**: Multiple fluxes can create a more stable resonating flux!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I see!
**Mizuki Koichi**: No wonder I couldn't continue after I succeeded for a few seconds in my previous experiments...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Thank you, Principal Vundo!
**Vundo**: Work hard and focus on your research, you'll become an arcana master one day!
**Vundo**: You can do it, Koichi!
**Vundo**: I wish Yaen and Kitty would learn from you!
**Yaen**: No, I don't want to!
**Yaen**: Mizuki only knows how to study! That's not fun!
**Vundo**: You are so gifted yet you do nothing but play all day. What a waste of talent!
**Yaen**: I love to have fun!
**Yaen**: Humph! I hate Big Pipe!
**Yaen**: Trick!
*Yaen casts a spell on Vundo but nothing seems to happen*
*...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: It seems...
**Player**: Nothing happened?
**Yaen**: Hehehe!
**Vundo**: Yaen! How dare you!
**Vundo**: You turned me into a dog!
**Player**: What?
**Mizuki Koichi**: What happened?
*Yaen signals for silence...*
**Yaen**: Shhh!
**Yaen**: Noisy kids are no good!
**Vundo**: Damn it, I was too careless. I let this troublemaker cast a transformation spell on me...
**Vundo**: Stop running away every time you cause trouble!
**Vundo**: I'm seriously going to teach you a lesson this time!
*Vundo runs off*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Hey! Principal Vundo!
**Player**: What... what happened?
**Yaen**: This is Mizuki's arcana.
**Mizuki Koichi**: My arcana?
**Yaen**: You were talking about some arcana I've never heard of...
**Yaen**: An arcana using flux resonation to control the receiver's nerve center, thus enabling the receiver to see illusion, am I right?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yes...
**Yaen**: That sounds interesting, so I gave it a try...
**Yaen**: I made Big Pipe believe that I've turned him into a dog, and I created an illusion that I've escaped from the library...
**Yaen**: I didn't think it would really work.
**Player**: Yaen activated Koichi's Illusion Arcana by merely listening to the theory!
**Player**: So that's the power of a genius witch...
**Yaen**: So Mizuki is also a pranking genius!
**Yaen**: But of course, you still have a long way to go compared to me, the genius witch!
**Mizuki Koichi**: !!!
**Player**: Ughh, Koichi's Illusion Arcana is not for pranking!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, it's fine...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yaen, how do you think I should improve my Illusion Arcana?
**Yaen**: Improvement? I think there's nothing you can improve anymore...
**Yaen**: Even Big Pipe was tricked by this illusion arcana. That means it's really strong!
**Yaen**: I can prank whomever I want in the entire Arcana Academy!
**Mizuki Koichi**: But I've never succeeded with this Illusion Arcana myself...
**Yaen**: Mizuki, you need to work harder if you want to catch up with me...
**Yaen**: Now that you've been recognized by me, the genius witch, you are already a thousand times better than the other wooden heads.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yaen, you must be joking!
**Mizuki Koichi**: How can I compare with the other students?
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm obviously the slowest learner...
**Yaen**: Why would you say that, Mizuki?
**Yaen**: I think you are even better than some idiot teachers.
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'll take that as encouragement. Thank you!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yaen, when will Principal Vundo come back?
**Mizuki Koichi**: I still have some questions for him.
**Yaen**: He'll be fine when the arcana loses the effect...
**Player**: So, when will it be?
**Yaen**: Are you asking me? How would I know?
**Yaen**: This is the arcana invented by Mizuki. Go ask him.
**Mizuki Koichi**: What? Me?
**Mizuki Koichi**: This arcana is still in the experimental stage...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I haven't succeeded so far, so...
**Player**: No one knows when the principal will come back to normal...
**Yaen**: Then it's got nothing to do with me...
**Yaen**: I'll go have some fun now. Mizuki and Player, keep up the good work!
*Yaen runs off*
**Player**: Yaen...
**Mizuki Koichi**: ...
**Mizuki Koichi**: We'd better think of a way to reverse this Illusion Arcana and save Principal Vundo before we continue with the experiment.
**Player**: Right!
**Mizuki Koichi**: The most direct way to break off the arcana is nerve stimulation! Let's go find Instructor Moon!
*Koichi gets some smelly herbs from Moon and makes a stinky bomb...*
*They eventually find Principal Vundo in the library...*
*With the help of the stinky bomb, Principal Vundo is back to normal...*
**Vundo**: Eww.....
**Vundo**: What...what's this...
**Vundo**: Argh! Yaen!
**Vundo**: I'm going to ground you for a month!
**Yaen**: Big Pipe, that was not me!
**Yaen**: Yaen is just a naïve girl! How could I possibly think of something so evil!
**Vundo**: Grounded for six months!
*Scene - Arcana Tower*
*After some time...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: We can finally continue with our experiment!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Regardless of the minor incidents, in the end we still received help from the teachers.
**Player**: Yes... but please, no more incidents from Yaen...
**Player**: But Yaen proved that your Illusion Arcana theory works.
**Mizuki Koichi**: She can always prank Principal Vundo. Good for her!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I wish I was half as good as she is...
**Mizuki Koichi**: No, just one tenth would be good enough...
**Player**: Koichi, not again...
**Player**: Have some faith in yourself! Yaen recognized you as a genius too!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I am no genius...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But I'll try my best!
**Player**: That's the spirit!
**Tower Radio**: Arcana Tower will be closed in one hour...
**Tower Radio**: Everyone please watch your time and leave the tower before it closes...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Ah, the Arcana Tower is closing!
**Mizuki Koichi**: We need to hurry up!
*Moments later...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: The Illusion Arcana experiment is ready...
**Player**: Bring it on, Koichi! I am ready!
**Mizuki Koichi**: No!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, please hold this...
*Koichi gives you a stinky bomb...*
**Player**: This is?
**Mizuki Koichi**: For this experiment, I've taken Elly's Breath as additional flux reserve. I've also prepared arcana flux to help with flux resonation...
**Mizuki Koichi**: This experiment is different from before. It's too dangerous if I use Player as a receiver.
**Mizuki Koichi**: So let me experiment on myself...
**Mizuki Koichi**: If things go out of control like what happened to Principal Vundo...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, please use this stinky bomb to wake me up!
**Player**: Yeah!
**Player**: You can do it, Koichi!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yes!
*Koichi raises his hand*
**Mizuki Koichi**: This time...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I must succeed!
*...*
*...*
*...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: ...
*Nothing seems to happen*
**Mizuki Koichi**: It didn't work at all...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Even after taking Elly's Breath from Instructor Moon...
**Mizuki Koichi**: And with the supplementary arcana flux from Principal Vundo...
**Mizuki Koichi**: It still wouldn't work...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I knew it. I'm just too bad at this...
**Player**: Koichi...

**-Choice 5.1 - Find out the reason and try one more time!**

**Mizuki Koichi**: I've tried. It won't work...
**Player**: Then try again!
**Player**: You still have one more Elly's Breath from Moon, don't you?
**Mizuki Koichi**: But...
**Player**: You still have one more chance, don't you?
**Player**: Moon has faith in you, Principal Vundo has faith in you, Yaen has faith in you!
**Mizuki Koichi**: But I...
**Player**: Don't you want to finish this arcana sooner so that you can present it to Caius?
**Player**: At least, don't be upset until it's really hopeless!
**Mizuki Koichi**: !!
**Mizuki Koichi**: ...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I... I'll try one more time!
**Player**: Right! Let's analyze the problem together!
**Player**: Compare the latest trial with the earlier ones, do you feel any difference?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yeah... this trial felt quite similar to the earlier ones...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But it felt different from those before today...
**Mizuki Koichi**: It felt weird...
**Player**: Weird?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Maybe I'm overthinking it...
**Mizuki Koichi**: In the Illusion Arcana trials before today, after I released the arcana, I always felt exhausted...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But today, during the first trial I was little bit tired...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But in the last few times, including the latest trial, I didn't feel tired at all...
**Player**: Hmm... not feeling tired?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Maybe I'm thinking too much...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'd better examine the experiment process from the beginning again...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I've probably missed something...
**Player**: Not feeling tired...
**Player**: Hmm... what is it...

**-Choice 5.2 - It's already incredible you've created your own theory!**

**Mizuki Koichi**: I created a theory that I couldn't put into practice...
**Mizuki Koichi**: It's pathetic, isn't it?
**Player**: Koichi, that's not true...
**Player**: Maybe all you need is just a little bit more time...
**Player**: Didn't Moon tell you that already?
**Player**: Koichi's arcana requires large amount of flux reserve and mastery of flux control...
**Player**: These things can't be rushed...
**Mizuki Koichi**: If only I'm one tenth as good as Yaen is...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Then I won't end up like this...
**Player**: Yaen's gift is not something average people can have.
**Mizuki Koichi**: So this is the difference between a genius and an average person?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Sorry, Caius...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm so useless!
**Player**: Koichi...
**Player**: (Koichi's arcana is so close to success... )
**Player**: (What went wrong... )
*Scene ends*

**-Choice 5.3 - There's still time, try again later!**

**Player**: Moon already said it...
**Player**: Arcana is not something one can achieve overnight...
**Player**: And Koichi has just started learning arcana...
**Player**: He's already amazing for having created his own arcana theory...
**Mizuki Koichi**: That's what everyone told me...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I know you're trying to be nice to me...
**Mizuki Koichi**: This Illusion Arcana does have its own value...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But that is not my purpose...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm not trying to become an arcana mage, neither do I want to publish any of my work.
**Mizuki Koichi**: I just want to help Caius with my strength...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Only just a little bit...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But apparently, theory alone is far from enough!
**Player**: From another perspective, Koichi you've got your theories.
**Player**: As long as you work harder and keep building on this foundation, you'll succeed!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Work harder?
**Mizuki Koichi**: No matter how hard I work, I won't be able to cross this chasm!
**Tower Radio**: The Arcana Tower will be closed in 30 minutes...
**Tower Radio**: Everyone inside the Tower, please watch your time and leave the tower before it closes...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Ah, I'm running out of time...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm sorry Player. I couldn't help you see your own memories...
**Player**: It's fine. I'll wait till the day when Koichi completes the arcana!
**Mizuki Koichi**: ...
**Player**: (Koichi's arcana is so close to success... )
**Player**: (What went wrong... )
*Scene ends*

*Conversation continues after choices*
*Moments later...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: The experimental materials and preparation are all fine...
**Player**: It's not the experiment itself...
**Player**: Let's go through what happened today.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Okay!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Our first trial was sort of successful, although only for a few seconds...
**Player**: And when you asked me 'what I saw', the illusion effect disappeared.
**Player**: Then following that, it was just repeated failures.
**Mizuki Koichi**: After multiple failures, we went to see Instructor Moon and Principal Vundo...
**Mizuki Koichi**: The foundation of this Illusion Arcana is the caster's will, but Instructor Moon doesn't think there's any issue with my will...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Instructor Moon believes it's because my arcana ability is not skilled enough, so he gave me Elly's Breath, which can enhance my arcana ability temporarily...
**Player**: And Principal Vundo suggests using arcana flux to help with the resonation, thus enhancing the stability of this arcana...
**Mizuki Koichi**: After that, we came back to the Arcana Tower...
**Player**: Koichi, you missed out Yaen's incident...
**Player**: Yaen managed to make Principal Vundo believe that he was a dog based on Koichi's Illusion Arcana theory...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Haha, right...
**Player**: Yaen said there's nothing wrong with Koichi's theory. She even said Koichi is a genius!
**Mizuki Koichi**: If I am a genius I wouldn't be thinking about this right now.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Also, this has nothing to do with the experiment...
**Player**: Right...
**Player**: You optimized the experiment with Moon's and Principal Vundo's suggestions...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But the experiment still failed...
**Player**: In your last trial, Koichi, you felt similar to the failed experiments earlier today...
**Player**: Not feeling tired...
**Player**: But you did feel tired in your first experiment, right?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Right!
**Player**: Then what went wrong?

**-Choice 6.1 - (Go through what happened today again...)**

**Player**: Let's go through the information we have again...
**Player**: We might find the reason!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Okay!
**Mizuki Koichi**: There's really nothing wrong with the experimental materials...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Our first trial was sort of successful, although only for a few seconds...
**Player**: And when you asked me 'what I saw', the illusion effect disappeared.
**Player**: And following that, it was just repeated failures.
**Mizuki Koichi**: After multiple failures, we went to see Instructor Moon and Principal Vundo...
**Mizuki Koichi**: The foundation of this Illusion Arcana is the caster's will, but Instructor Moon doesn't think there's any issue with my will...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Instructor Moon believes it's because my arcana ability is not skilled enough, so he gave me Elly's Breath, which can enhance my arcana ability temporarily...
**Player**: And, Principal Vundo suggested to use arcana flux as a support to the resonation, thus enhance the stability of this arcana...
**Mizuki Koichi**: After that, we came back to the Arcana Tower...
**Player**: Koichi, you missed out Yaen's incident...
**Player**: Yaen managed to make Principal Vundo believe that he was a dog based on Koichi's Illusion Arcana theory...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Haha, right...
**Player**: Yaen said there's nothing wrong with Koichi's theory. She even said Koichi is a genius!
**Mizuki Koichi**: If I am a genius I wouldn't be thinking about this right now.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Also, this has nothing to do with the experiment...
**Player**: Right...
**Player**: You optimized the experiment with Moon's and Principal Vundo's suggestions...
**Mizuki Koichi**: But the experiment still failed...
**Player**: In your last trial, Koichi, you felt similar to the failed experiments earlier today...
**Player**: Not feeling tired...
**Player**: But you did feel tired in your first trial today, right?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Right!
**Player**: Then what went wrong?
*Choice 6.1.1 - (Go through what happened today again...)*
*Go to Choice 6.1*
*Choice 6.1.2 - (Something wrong with Moon's and Vundo's suggestions...)*
*Go to Choice 6.2*
*Choice 6.1.3 - (The arcana theory itself is faulty...)*
*Go to Choice 6.3*
*Choice 6.1.4 - (Find out why Koichi felt tired...)*
*Go to Choice 6.4*

**-Choice 6.2 - (Something wrong with Moon's and Vundo's suggestions...)**

**Player**: Koichi, do you think there might be something wrong with Moon's and the principal's suggestions?
**Player**: Is it possible that your experiment itself is fine...
**Player**: But their suggestions made it worse...
**Mizuki Koichi**: That... doesn't sound likely...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Instructor Moon is very good at Illusion Arcana...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Principal Vundo is the authority in the field of arcana. They can't be wrong.
**Player**: Authority could be wrong sometimes, right?
**Mizuki Koichi**: But the experiment also failed before we met them...
**Player**: That's true...
*Choice 6.2.1 - (Go through what happened today again...)*
*Go to Choice 6.1*
*Choice 6.2.2 - (Something wrong with Moon's and Vundo's suggestions...)*
*Go to Choice 6.2*

*Go to Choice 6.3*
*Choice 6.2.4 - (Find out why Koichi felt tired...)*
*Go to Choice 6.4*
*Choice 6.2.5 - I got it!*
*Continue with the conversation*

**-Choice 6.3 - (The arcana theory itself is faulty...)**

**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, maybe my theory is wrong from the beginning...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Instructor Moon and Principal Vundo were just trying to comfort me...
**Player**: That's not likely...
**Player**: Moon and Principal Vundo both really wanted to help Koichi...
**Player**: If there's any problem, they would tell you!
**Mizuki Koichi**: But after using the Elly's Breath given by Instructor Moon...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I couldn't feel anything either when I tried to activate the arcana...
**Player**: But we did succeed in our first trial...
**Mizuki Koichi**: That may just be a coincidence...
**Player**: Then how do you explain Yaen successfully casting the Illusion Arcana spell on Principal Vundo based on your theory?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Right! That's true!
**Mizuki Koichi**: It means my Illusion Arcana theory does work!
**Player**: Right!
*Choice 6.3.1 - (Go through what happened today again...)*
*Go to Choice 6.1*
*Choice 6.3.2 - (Something wrong with Moon's and Vundo's suggestions...)*
*Go to Choice 6.2*
*Choice 6.3.3 - (The arcana theory itself is faulty...)*
*Go to Choice 6.3*
*Choice 6.3.4 - (Find out why Koichi felt tired...)*
*Go to Choice 6.4*
*Choice 6.3.5 - I got it!*
*Continue with the conversation*

**-Choice 6.4 - (Find out why Koichi felt tired...)**

**Player**: Koichi, what are the possible causes leading to your exhaustion during the arcana experiment?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Because arcana experiment consumes flux...
**Mizuki Koichi**: It's a normal phenomenon to feel tired after an experiment...
**Player**: Oh? Normal phenomenon?
**Player**: But...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yes, I didn't feel that in the later experiments anymore...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I didn't even feel like I was casting at all...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Maybe it was because of Instructor Moon's Elly's Breath...
**Player**: But even before the Elly's Breath, I also didn't feel anything in the experiments...
**Player**: What happened?
*Choice 6.4.1 - (Go through what happened today again...)*
*Go to Choice 6.1*
*Choice 6.4.2 - (Something wrong with Moon's and Vundo's suggestions...)*
*Go to Choice 6.2*
*Choice 6.4.3 - (The arcana theory itself is faulty...)*
*Go to Choice 6.3*
*Choice 6.4.4 - (Find out why Koichi felt tired...)*
*Go to Choice 6.4*
*Choice 6.4.5 - I got it!*
*Continue with the conversation*

*Conversation continues after choices*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, did you find out why?

**-Choice 7.1 - Koichi's flux is about to run out...**

**Player**: I think during the first trial, Koichi, you've already used up most of your flux reserve...
**Player**: In the later trials, there's not enough flux for the illusion to be cast...
**Player**: That's why you didn't feel tired in the later trials...
**Player**: They didn't even feel like casting...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Oh... I see...
*Koichi looks at the Elly's Breath in his palm...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, thank you for helping me today!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I have learned a lot...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Instructor Moon was right...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Arcana is not something that can be achieved overnight...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'll give the rest of these Elly's Breath back to Instructor Moon!
**Player**: Huh? You don't need them anymore?
**Player**: (Elly's Breath!)
**Player**: (Theoretically Elly's Breath can help with the user's lack of flux...)
**Player**: (But why didn't Koichi's experiment work... )
**Mizuki Koichi**: I don't need these Elly's Breath anymore!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, I'm not a genius...
**Mizuki Koichi**: To me, there are no shortcuts in arcana!
*Scene ends*

**-Choice 7.2 - Elly's Breath and arcana flux may be counteracting each other...**

**Mizuki Koichi**: Elly's Breath can counteract the arcana flux?
**Player**: Because I can't think of anything else...
**Player**: I think this is the only logical explanation left.
**Mizuki Koichi**: That's not possible...
**Player**: Huh?
**Mizuki Koichi**: In arcana classes, I can clearly remember that...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Conversely, Elly's Breath and arcana flux have very good compatibility...
**Mizuki Koichi**: The two together should amplify the effects of the arcana...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Plus, my arcana couldn't even start, not to mention amplify...
**Player**: Koichi...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, thanks for helping me today...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I have learned a lot...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I think Instructor Moon was right...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Arcana is not something one can achieve overnight!
**Player**: (So in the end, we still couldn't find the reason... )
**Player**: (We must have missed something... )
*Scene ends*

**-Choice 7.3 - We've neglected the foundation of the Illusion Arcana...**

**Mizuki Koichi**: Huh?
**Player**: Yaen could use your power in a prank, which means that your illusion is theoretically sound!
**Player**: Although it was just a few seconds, Koichi did activate this illusion. Plus Moon's Elly's breath...
**Player**: Koichi is perfectly equipped to activate this illusion!
**Player**: Yet several times, Koichi couldn't even 'feel the illusion being cast'.
**Player**: Which means that the problem comes from the beginning of the casting process, the beginning of the theory.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Beginning of the theory and the casting process?
**Mizuki Koichi**: In other words, the foundation of all Illusion Arcana...
**Mizuki Koichi**: The caster's will?
**Player**: Correct!
**Mizuki Koichi**: But Instructor Moon said there's nothing wrong with my will...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Unless my feeling towards Caius has...
**Player**: No, Koichi's feelings toward Caius has already surpassed that of a normal romantic relationship.
**Player**: But, Koichi...
**Player**: Think about it. The first illusion today was a success...
**Player**: But once you asked me 'What did you see?', it started to fail!
**Mizuki Koichi**: That phrase... Oh! Unless!
**Player**: Yep! When you said that phrase, your focus changed from 'arcana developed for Caius' to 'Illusion must succeed'.
**Player**: That's why the first trial only lasted a few seconds.
**Player**: Then after the first trial, the other ones all failed...
**Player**: Koichi, you have became more and more fixated on the failure itself...
**Player**: That's why in all the other trials, including the last one, Koichi couldn't even feel the illusion being cast.
**Mizuki Koichi**: So I'm too focused on the success of the illusion and forgot about the real meaning behind the illusion?
**Player**: I think Yaen could activate Koichi's arcana earlier...
**Player**: Because she whole-heartedly wanted to prank Principal Vundo.
**Player**: That's why there's nothing wrong with Moon and Principal Vundo's suggestions...
**Player**: There's nothing wrong with Koichi either!
**Player**: Let's try again! Koichi!
**Player**: This time, forget about the illusion itself and instead focus on the reason you created this illusion...
**Mizuki Koichi**: !!
**Mizuki Koichi**: ...
**Mizuki Koichi**: The reason for this illusion...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Yes!
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'll start preparations now!
*Moments later...*
**Mizuki Koichi**: This is the last trial for today...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Let's begin!
*Koichi raises his hand*
*Pink flower petals appear around Koichi*
**Player**: Oh! Oh! Oh! It's working!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius, it's been a while since we...
**Mizuki Koichi**: ... did that!
**Player**: Huh?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Ca... iii... uuss...
*Koichi runs towards Player*
**Player**: Koichi, hey!
**Mizuki Koichi**: You're all undressed and ready for me, Caius...
**Player**: Did Koichi fall for his own illusion?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Oooh...
**Player**: Right! Stinky bomb!
**Player**: Koichi, sorry!
*Player tosses the stinky bomb at Koichi*
**Player**: Urgh, smells so bad...
**Mizuki Koichi**: ...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius...
**Player**: Stinky bomb has no effect!
**Player**: Is this experiment working too well?
**Mizuki Koichi**: It's been a long time since Caius and I...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Hold me, Caius...
**Tower Radio**: The Arcana Tower will be closed in two minutes...
**Tower Radio**: Everyone please exit the tower as soon as possible...
**Player**: The Arcana Tower is about to close!
**Player**: Let's get Koichi out of here first!
*Scene - Never Isle*
*Outside the Arcana Tower...*
**Player**: First, find some place quiet to let Koichi calm down...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius, where are you taking me...
**Player**: A... better place, somewhere quiet...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Oooh... I'll go wherever you go...
**Player**: Good...
*Koichi starts following Player*
**Inhabitants of Never Isle**: What happened to you?
**Mizuki Koichi**: We want to go and enjoy each other's company.
**Mizuki Koichi**: Just Caius and I...
**Player**: Didn't you just have some juice? Why you... Fine... I'm taking you home...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I can drink with Caius!
*Player and Koichi continue on their way and end up at the Defense Force training field*
**Player**: Koichi, what's wrong?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Caius! I have something to tell you!
*Scene - A nearby vendor*
*Meanwhile...*
**Caius**: I'll give this to Koichi. He'll love it...
**Mizuki Koichi**: ... I have something to tell you...
**Caius**: Koichi?
**Caius**: I could hear Koichi's voice just now...
**Caius**: Right here...
**Caius**: !!
*Caius sees Player and Koichi from a distance*
**Mizuki Koichi**: ... I hope that when you are here, you'll keep holding me in your arms...
**Mizuki Koichi**: You'll love me with all your heart...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I want to be with you...
**Mizuki Koichi**: Promise me, don't leave me...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I love you so much...
*Koichi walks up to Player*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player?
**Caius**: !!
**Caius**: ...
*Caius starts walking towards Player and Koichi but stops*
**Caius**: ...
*Caius turns around then smiles to himself*
**Caius**: ...
*Caius leaves*
*Koichi stands before Player, his illusion ended*
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player?
**Mizuki Koichi**: What happened?
**Player**: Are you awake now?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Awake?
**Mizuki Koichi**: Then just now that was...
**Player**: Yeah, you were stuck in your own illusion...
**Player**: You almost harassed me...
**Mizuki Koichi**: !!
**Mizuki Koichi**: Player, really, I'm so sorry!
**Player**: Luckily, there's no one on the training field...
**Player**: I don't think... anyone saw us...
**Mizuki Koichi**: I'm so sorry!
**Player**: Phew... good thing you're back to normal now...
**Player**: But this time, your illusion worked too well Koichi!
**Player**: You wouldn't wake up with stink bombs...
**Mizuki Koichi**: An illusion that even stink bombs can't break?
**Mizuki Koichi**: That feeling was so surreal. It didn't feel like an illusion at all...
**Mizuki Koichi**: That was really... my illusion?
**Player**: Koichi's illusion is already theoretically sound...
**Player**: With extra help from Moon's Elly's breath and Principal Vundo's secret flux medicine...
**Player**: It's not impossible for it to achieve such astounding success...
**Mizuki Koichi**: !!
**Player**: Do you remember what Yaen said?

**Mizuki Koichi**: But...
**Mizuki Koichi**: My illusion for Caius is a success!
