Hoegaarden - Stories

* It's really lively!
* Should we move somewhere quieter?
* Was it bothersome of me to invite you out?
**Demi:** It's really lively!
**Hoegaarden:** No matter the era, soldiers have always been hot-blooded beings, full of passion.
**Hoegaarden:** Drinking and making merry, to restore one's spirits after a day of battle...
**Hoegaarden:** It may be the very proof of the state of our nation's peace and security, to still be able to foster such a boisterous atmosphere.
*As I listen to his deeply significant words... Respect somewhat up.*

**Demi:** Should we move somewhere quieter?
**Hoegaarden:** No, there is no problem in remaining here.
**Hoegaarden:** My apologies. My phrasing appears to have caused you concern.
**Hoegaarden:** I was merely a bit surprised, as I am more accustomed to the quietness of the forest.
**Hoegaarden:** However, I do appreciate your thoughtful consideration. Thank you.
*He thanked me! Respect super up.*

**Demi:** Was it bothersome of me to invite you out?
**Hoegaarden:** I do not think it bothersome at all.
**Hoegaarden:** It made me happy to have received your invite, and I had some free time.
**Hoegaarden:** However, it appears my phrasing has caused a misunderstanding. My apologies.
**Hoegaarden:** By my prior comment, I had meant that this place is quite bustling and lively.
**Hoegaarden:** I will be more conscious of my wording in the future.
*As he sincerely apologizes to me... Respect barely up.*

### Situation 2

**Hoegaarden:** I fear my fur may shed onto your food, so let us order separate meals.

* I don't mind.
* Let's order together and split it up.
* Then, I'll have the salted ayu...
**Demi:** I don't mind.
**Hoegaarden:** My apologies, but I just cannot allow it. It will bother me no matter what.
**Hoegaarden:** Hm. Dining with another makes me quite restless.
**Hoegaarden:** I do appreciate your kindness, but please invite some other troop out next time.
*As I get unexpectedly rejected... Respect barely up.*

**Demi:** Let's order together and split it up.
**Hoegaarden:** Alright. I would appreciate that.
**Hoegaarden:** However, I am a bit reluctant to force you to go through the trouble of splitting our meal.
**Hoegaarden:** But I were to do it, there is a possibility for my fur to fall into it...
**Hoegaarden:** My apologies, I take it back. Let us order separately after all.
*It seems like it'll be hard to be able to come to a compromise... Respect somewhat up.*

**Demi:** Then, I'll have the salted ayu...
**Hoegaarden:** What a coincidence, I was considering ordering the same.
**Hoegaarden:** The saltiness of the grilled ayu here is exquisitely balanced.
**Hoegaarden:** ....Hm.
**Hoegaarden:** If we are having our own ayu, I may be able to enjoy this meal without worry of my fallen fur.
*Looks like I made the right choice. Respect super up.*

### Situation 3

**Hoegaarden:** The number of troops in this squad has grown considerably.

* I'd like there to be even more.
* Does it make you uneasy?
* Don't quit, please!
**Demi:** I'd like there to be even more.
**Hoegaarden:** I see. That may not be a bad idea.
**Hoegaarden:** The greater your numbers, the more often you would be able to send out squads to battle.
**Hoegaarden:** In doing so, the burden placed on each individual would be lessened as well.
*As I respond with a "Yes!"... Respect super up.*

**Demi:** Does it make you uneasy?
**Hoegaarden:** No, I am alright.
**Hoegaarden:** Even if the numbers may increase, the feeling of closeness does not change.
**Hoegaarden:** The only trouble it may cause is merely the small effort of remembering each face and each individual's strengths.
*As I reflect on how dependable he is... Respect somewhat up.*

**Demi:** Don't quit, please!
**Hoegaarden:** I will not, so be at ease.
**Hoegaarden:** Though the numbers may increase, it does not mean that there is any problem as a result.
**Hoegaarden:** This squad continues to remain as comfortable as it has been.
*As I breathe a sigh of relief... Respect barely up.*
