Honestly even with Cosal doing his best to be a jerk he still doesn't even begin to measure up to them. It was actually quite impressive seeing Chimon and Tenmon continually compete to see who could be the biggest group of assholes of the two. Truly a case of 'pick your poison' Is it any wonder that Ion is sick of this nonsense by now?

Spica mumbled something about business when I asked if she could watch you all today, so I guess I’m just going to have to stay home. So, where did she leave off with the stuff I left for her to kill time with while watching you? Hmm, okay, so we’re up to some of what happened with Ion and Tattoria then, got it.  Yeah. I'll draw you next time, Vio. Really? That'd make me really happy! ... Hehe, looks like those two are hitting it off nicely. Ion, welcome! Hello, miss. Hello, Felie. Earthes, hello. You seem happy today./I don’t really like kids. It's because I get to see you two... Earthes and Vio. Hehe. She's taken a liking to you. Ion! Please, say something to these people!How am I supposed to concentrate on work with them making a fuss like this? Work? When have you ever been working, Tattoria?Mmm? You were looking forward to a story she was going to tell you? What about, maybe I was there too.  Says the one who falls asleep while on duty. And who is it that has to wake you up when that happens? !! That reminds me, Tattoria was asleep a little earlier. How could you sleep with Vio in your ear like that? I-It's not like I was slacking off or anything, just so you know!I was thinking up a new recipe until the break of dawn! You're making more recipes? Heh heh heh. Yeah, and this one's more medicine-like than anything I've made before.Here, take a look at it. System Message: Obtained the recipe [Medicine made from Boiling]! Medicine you make from boiling...? Hmm, it does sound a little stronger than your previous attempts. But, wouldn't some of these be dangerous to actually take? I thought it would be important to actually make some medicine like that.And, the more medicine I make, the more my skills should improve, right? Besides, I'm a pharmacy. It'd be cool if I had more products lined up, don't you think? Umm, I think it would be great to start with ones that cure illness.Oh, heh, that ‘cold medicine’ she made. Right. Okay, that is a funny story.  What's the matter Vio? Is there something on my face? N-No, that's not it...It's just... The more I look at you, you look just like Rin. Hrrmmmmm! I'm not this Rin girl you're talking about! I know. I'm sorry... But, what a surprise. Who would've thought someone who looks just like Rin would be so close. It's true. I've been living here for quite a while but I've never seen anyone similar until now. That's actually pretty crazy, you know... If you lived close by, you'd think you would've seen each other.I mean, when you first came here, you said you didn't even know of this store's existence, right? Yeah. Because I rarely leave the house. What does that mean...? Is it because you’re sick?/Are you an introvert? How's that possible? Look at how much energy she's got! No, Earthes is right.I've been sick since the time I was born, and my body's not as strong as normal kids... Really!? I would've never guessed just by looking at you... I can talk, of course, but moving around is a bit much for me...So one day Spica decided she actually cared about whether or not, well, anything she was selling worked. Not so much for the customers’ sake, she was just curious.  I see...If you catch colds often, it must be hard without any cold medicine... I know how to fix it, even without medicine.But... If I had some medicine, I could cure it right away. Too bad there's no human medicine here... My medicine... It doesn't work, dummy. But you can't get cold medicine here... Have you used it before, Felie? Mother and Father used to have some, and they would give it to me.But now, we're all out... So I have to fix it myself. So, Mother bought medicine here the other day... She told me the pharmacy started carrying medicine, so this should help ease the pain. ...Does a cold hurt that much? Yeah. It hurts, and sometimes it's painful. In bad cases, I feel nauseated.But, the worst part of all... Is feeling lonely. Lonely? Oh, I know that feeling.When you're alone in your room because you're sick... You feel so isolated. That happens to you, too?But you can’t see if cold medicine works unless you’ve got someone with a cold, right? So she figured, she’d just come up with something to remedy that problem.  Lonely... That does sound pretty sad. That's why I was mad at you, for selling medicine that doesn't work... But now, I don't know how to feel. Felie, you can't forgive this guy. You have every right to be angry. No, because if Tattoria didn't make a bogus cold medicine... I wouldn't have met everyone here. Tattoria, thank you for making that useless medicine. ...Um, I'm allowed to get mad here, right? Hmmm, well, she is thanking you. I think you should feel happy about it.But, you should also reflect on how to improve. That sounds really difficult!So we come up with this stuff that gives you a cold, but since he helped us make the stuff of course your father wasn’t having any part of it.  Hmm... Not that I can think of... Ah, that's what I thought. It's good to be able to eat anything.Speaking of which, what about you? Any food you can't eat? I want to eat Ion./Not really. But Earthes is a robot... Does he eat? Th-That's... A completely different kind of "eating". Haha yeah, Ion isn't food... Not a very good joke. Uh... I don't think he means that literally. If you know what I mean... Hmm? There's other meanings to "eat"? I-It's nothing, Felie. Don't worry about it.Why would you say something like that in front of a child! Anyway, likes and dislikes aside, let's talk about why we're really here.For example, someone with no likes or dislikes might not have a balanced diet. Right? I'm going to come up with a recipe that addresses those issues. Yeah. It's not like we think about our nutrients every time we make a meal. Hehe, just wait till you see my recipe before you get too happy.System Message: Obtained the recipe for [Deliciously Horrible!?]! ... H-Huh? Why did you freeze up?But there was this old guy traveling with us who he used to work with. And I saw you roll your eyes when I called someone else old, don’t think you can get anything past me.  Deliciously horrible... What does that mean...? It means it tastes really bad. I don't think I like the sound of that. You've gotta eat everything if you want to grow up healthy.If you're too picky with your food, you won't have a healthy body. Those are human lessons, you know? Um, I think it's more like parents' common sense than lessons. Well, then thank goodness for my blessed common sense. Why does it sound religious when you say it? That's another difference between Sharl and humans. Sharls have different relationships with parents. But, I think something tasting really bad is completely different from liking or not liking something.I wish you would've arranged items that taste good... I wanted to, but it's difficult to come up with delicious, nutrient-packed food.The hard part is that most of the things that are good for you taste bad. I don't like things that taste bad... It could actually be good./Just think of it as medicine. Hehe, true. And besides, it's still only a recipe. We have no idea which ones are bad. Exactly! And, for all I know, they'll all taste great.Besides, I wouldn't intentionally make bad tasting items, right? Keep your hopes up! Y-Yeah... I shouldn't be afraid of it before I've made them. But... Doesn't that mean there's a possibility everything will taste bad, too? Felie... You're going to confuse everyone, so let's just not mention that part.Now what was… Leglius, right. So Spica took him out to lunch and slipped the ‘cold medicine’ into his drink.  Oh, hello Earthes! I see you came today, too. I came to see you, Felie./My job is to protect Ion. Hehehe, that makes me happy. Aww, you're so adorable, Felie.Felie, you've been coming here a lot lately, haven't you? Yeah. Because whenever I come here, I get to see you, Vio. Me, too. I'm so glad to see you every day, Felie. Umm... I hope you guys haven't forgotten, this is actually MY store, right? Is it alright for all of us to come here every day? Oh, that's right... You mentioned you're really weak, so you spent a lot of time indoors. We're always happy to have you at the store, but are you sure that's alright? It's fine. Not like I'm running a marathon, and it's not cold in here, either. It wouldn't even be a joke if you caught a cold inside a pharmacy. That's why I keep it a little warm. Hehe, you're pretty nice. Approach everyone with love and peace. That's the Sharl way. I've never even heard of that. Fine... Then that's MY way. But don't you think you would get in trouble if your mother found out?So a day went by and it didn’t seem like it even worked, he looked fine. So Spica decides she must have given him the wrong thing, switched the medicine to give you a cold with the actual cold medicine.  Does that mean... You've been home alone this whole time? Until your parents come home? Yeah. That's right. I can't believe it... You're so weak as it is, and they leave you all by yourself? I'm fine, though.Besides, it's not like my parents are just playing, either. They're out there, making the world a better place. I can't complain. ...Is that really okay, though? What will happen if you collapse while alone? Which is why I always remain at home, so that doesn't happen. You shouldn't even be here, then... Right? Well, if I collapse here, Tattoria and Vio will save me. I'll be okay. True, it's probably better than collapsing alone. ... Vio, is something the matter? No, I just thought... That that sounded a little strange... At least now I understand why you come here every day, Felie.In fact, you're welcome to come here as often as you want. R-Really? You mean it? Heh, mean it or not, I'm sure saying "no" isn't going to stop you, anyway.Besides... After hearing the possibility of you collapsing, alone, I can't leave you by yourself. She waits a few days so it doesn’t seem suspicious then drops by and leaves something for everyone, with his of course spiked with what she thinks is the right stuff this time.  Ahahaha, that's not really true, but... Feel free to praise me. It's a bad habit of his to get full of himself at the very end. But, maybe this is what makes him who he is. I actually don't mind. Hahaha, true. This is what makes Tattoria, Tattoria. Well, anyway. That's the deal, so... My door is always open for you. Thanks. I'll take you up on your offer.Earthes, and miss... Do you think you could come every day, too? I'm not sure about every day, but... If we're in the neighborhood, we'll be sure to stop by.And then he starts getting really sick, so she figures great I’ll swing by and offer the cold medicine.  Yeah... There are a lot of things we have to do, so... Are they really difficult things? Yes. It's very important that we do them. I see... You sound disappointed. Did I say something to hurt your feelings? No, that's not it, Ion...Felie just wanted to go play with the two of you. Is that true? Yeah... Because all Earthes ever does is say a few words before running off with you. Sorry I can’t spend time with you./Vio’s here, you know? No, I'm sorry for being so selfish.If Earthes isn't available, I'll play with Vio instead. Well, you say play, but as you can see... Talking's about the ONLY thing I can do. It's okay, your stories are really funny, so I like them.I don't know much about the outside world, so it's really fun to hear your stories... And Rin. Really? I'm glad to hear that. But, I guess I'm also a little sad to always be hearing about Rin, too... Uh oh, Vio... You shouldn't make a girl jealous, you know. Y-Yeah... I'll be more careful. You know... You're always hanging out with us, Felie. Don't you have other friends? ...No, I don't have any other friends besides you guys... Huh!? Why!?But then she looks close at the labels and realizes she’d been right the first time, and the actual cold medicine was the one that made him sick.  There used to be more people who would come to see me before, but... We’re your friends right now./So that’s why you’re alone… ...Hehehe, yeah.But right now, you guys are by my side, so I'm not lonely at all. ...I can't forgive it... Huh? It's not right! To lose your friends because you're sick. But, what can I do? My body's weak from being sick... I just can't play with everyone else.I doubt it'd be much fun for them, either. Don't "what else can I do" me! Of course there's something we can do!I refuse to believe it! To suffer so much because of an illness. I understand how you feel, but this is simply out of our control. ...No, it's not.I've made up my mind. I'm going to cure Felie's illness so she can play with the other girls! Huuuh!? Ack, there you go again, spouting off nonsense! Stop making promises you can't keep! No, I'm gonna do it!I think I finally understand exactly what "sickness" is... Then she just kind of shrugs, figures how she knows how well it works, and leaves it at that.  That's the worst! I could I let something like that slide!?Felie, I promise you... I'm going to make you better, alright? Gah, do you even listen to other people!? ...You can't.Because my illness is very complicated. That's what they told me... You can't even make cold medicine, Tattoria. How could you cure this? No, I swear I will!I might not understand right now... But one day, I will. And that's the day I'll cure it! B-But... I promise you. And when I make a promise, I never break it. ... I see someone suffering in front of me because of an incurable illness. How can I just look the other way?Besides, I just promised Felie right now, too. So, I swear I will cure this. ...I'm your friend? Um, obviously? I always thought... You saw me as a nuisance. Frankly, you get in the way of my work sometimes, but that doesn't make you any less of a friend. ... Tattoria, are you serious...? I'm ALWAYS serious.Alright, well anyway the actual story here is getting pretty dramatic, isn’t it? All incurable illnesses and earnest promises.  Hehe, I thought you'd say so, Earthes. I might only be able to gather ingredients, but I'll help where I can!We need Felie to overcome her illness as soon as possible, and get better. Guys... ...Alright, Tattoria.If you're serious about this, then I'll give you all the support I can. Vio! But, I'm not entirely sure what a squirrel can do to help... No, it means so much, even you just saying that.Tattoria. It makes me so happy to hear you say that, too. It's still too soon for celebration.We need to save that until after the illness is cured, right? Y-Yeah... You're right.But it doesn't matter. I'm still so happy. Thank you, miss... And Earthes! At least now I have hope! And I will not betray it!Maybe a bit over the top, even I wouldn’t write something like this.  ...Um, Vio? Did Tattoria eat something weird? No, he's been like this since last night...He was reading after closing down the store, and then suddenly started talking about life and existence. I wonder if he read a strange book...? Hey miss. I haven't read any strange books.I was reading books on various animals last night. Animals...? It's an encyclopedia, you know? It has pictures and anatomy of various animals.I bought it to study, but I didn't think it would be this interesting. I understand how you feel... Once you start flipping through an encyclopedia, it can be pretty fun. I don't think I've read one... I want to try. I'm almost done with it. So, once I am, you can take a look. Okay? But, it's got dissections of animals, too, right? Are you sure you can handle that, Felie? I don't know... What's a dissection? It’s a picture of the inside of the body./A really gross picture. I-Inside the body!? Th-That sounds a little scary... Yeah, you have to be prepared to see that kind of thing.But, it's very valuable information for people studying sicknesses. I see... I don't know if I can do that, then.I-I don't think I can handle that... Well, a lot of girls normally don't like these sort of things.I don’t think it’s weird to be interested in things like that.  Because you aren’t normal, Ion./You’re special because you’re studious. Ohh, there you go again. You're mean sometimes... ...If it's not normal, then maybe I shouldn't read it? There's gonna be a chance for you to study those things when you're older.So... Tattoria, have you learned anything new from reading this book? Yeah, of course! I even made a new recipe.System Message: Obtained the recipe for [Signs of Life and Existence]! Wh-? Even the recipe's name talks about existence... Did that book really enlighten you in ways we haven't realized? That was truly amazing... I've never been so moved by a book before. If you came across any more amazing books like those... I think you'd pass out. Yes. So, I'm sure the items that result will make you feel the signs of life and existence, too. What in the world could that mean...? I have no idea. And it scares me that I can't predict it.Anyway, next time they showed up Felie wasn’t there.  Vio, you seem a little down. Is something the matter? No, it's nothing... It’s because Felie isn’t here./Does your stomach hurt? Hmm, that reminds me, Felie isn't here today. I wonder if everything's alright? She mentioned it when she was leaving yesterday, but today's one of the rare days her mother has off.So, they're spending time together as a family. I see...Man, the store really is lonely, without Felie, though... Yeah... It's actually quiet for a change. Depressing, even. Hey, stop talking down on my store!Is... What I'd like to say, but I think you have a point. I think we took her presence for granted. But she does get to spend all day today with her family...Days like this are probably important. She doesn't get to see them often, after all. Yeah. Felie's parents seemed really busy with their work. Always coming home late. Yeah, so it makes sense that she would want to spend time with them.I can't let this get to me... I need to cheer up, or Felie's going to laugh. As suggested, though, she was back when they showed up next time.  Um, what could you possibly mean by that? You know there are certain things in nature that are really good for you, right?And learning about that made me realize... Nature is awesome. I can't believe it! Yes, well, perhaps it is quite amazing, but must you really be so surprised? Tattoria, you didn't know that until now? W-Well, of course I knew it was amazing, but...Until I did more research, I had no idea there were so many plants and by-products with positive effects. Yes, I suppose knowing what compounds and elements are contained within them would be a lot of information. Right? And, doing my own research, I realized there're a lot of compounds in unexpected places, too.So, I came up with this: System Message: Obtained the recipe for [Nature's Treasures]! Whoa, treasures... I wonder what kind of gems there are? It’s nature, so maybe blue or green?/I don’t think that’s what it means. That sounds like so much fun. Tattoria... When you're done, could I have one, too? Huh? Oh, umm... That's easier said than done... Aww, you meanie.Even with her terrible illness she remained pretty cute. Not as cute as you all, but cute.  Haha, Felie, just because it has "treasures" in the name, doesn't mean it'll make gems.It just means it's filled with natural, healthy nutrients that are important to people. Yeah, that's exactly it... In other words... This recipe makes medicine packed with lots of natural minerals? No, that's not exactly it... Huh? I don't think the result of this recipe is what we traditionally consider "medicine."I wasn't really thinking about that when I made it, either. After you lectured us on how amazing nature was? I'm telling you, it was just a hint from me.But, all the ingredients are retrieved naturally, so the recipe's name isn't a lie. But if what you imagine from the name and what you actually get is different, people will be sad. The final product being something different than the recipe happens all the time with medicine... That might be so, but... What do you think, Ion? Umm... The most important thing is how useful it is. ...Yeah. That might be the most important thing after all.Well in that case, I suppose I trust Tattoria's ability to make medicine... Should I be relieved...? Hehe, exactly. But, I'm not sure about your sense in naming things...Also, I kind of like Tattoria’s take on books.  Tattoria, you should stop crying... Yeah, Tattoria. You're tougher than that, right? What's the matter with him...? Is he crying? Oh, miss! We're a little troubled... What happened?/It’s not good to bully others. Yeah... There's this book that I love, but he began to cry when he began reading it. Book? What kind of book is it? *Sniff* It's a huge epic adventure... Huh!? A-An epic...? It's about heroes, who rise up when the village is plagued with disease. They try to find a cure together. That sounds like fun! Maybe I should try reading it, too. That fine, but... It's a picture book, you know? ...A picture book? But you said it was an epic adventure... It only has 20 pages or so.I mean it’s the next step past just getting bored with the actual book you’re reading and making up a better one.  You're reading it wrong! Well, it's impossible to set out on a journey on one page and arrive at your destination on the next, right? They probably had to remove those bits because it's a picture book. But I feel there were many struggles. When I start thinking about it... I was just suddenly overcome with emotions, you know? I know how you feel!/I don’t get it at all. Y-You're kidding, right!? Who reads a picture book like that? Really... U-Umm, depending on the book, I try to imagine what happens between scenes... ...You're really strange, Ion. But, it actually sounds kind of interesting to read that way. Maybe I should try it next time...? You should try it with a book where people go on an adventure. Like this one. It's easy to imagine how many things could happen between travelling from one town to the next. Yeah, and when there's a large gap in scenes, I always do that. You get so much enjoyment out of a single book! Now that's a cost- effective way to read! I think I have a few books like that, so I need to try it as soon as I get home! If you try advanced reading techniques like that, you'll never be able to read normally again... Don't worry. I'm only going to try...!But that was when everything went wrong.  Felie? Felie, are you alright? *Cough cough* I...I'm okay...! Are you sure? Are you feeling dizzy? No, really... I'm okay. I think I just got a little too excited. Should I take you home?/You should get some rest. I would love for you to take me home, but really, I'm okay now. Sorry to make everyone worry. ...Well, if you say so, we'll take your word for it. Do you think maybe she comes here too often? I mean, she used to live at home all the time, right? Then suddenly she starts coming here everyday... ...B-But, if the place is warm, and I don't get too excited, I'm okay. Besides, it's boring at home... By myself. ... Just don’t push yourself. Okay, I understand. I don't want to cause trouble for everyone, either. No one said it was any trouble. Yeah, we're just worried... We never thought you were trouble, Felie. So, make sure you tell us as soon as you're feeling sick. ...Okay, I promise.In spite of her escalating illness, she still returned the next time.  Hmmm, not really feeling it... I guess you're just too tiny. Massaging my shoulders is a tall order for you. W-What!? Size has nothing to do with this...! Well, it feels more like someone touching my pressure points than someone massaging my shoulders. Do Sharl even have pressure points?/That sounds like it would feel good. ...That's a good question. I never really thought about it before, so I never worried... Neither have I. Although, if Sharls can't get sick, I don't see why they'd need a pressure point massage. But your shoulders get stiff, though, right? No... I just wanted to see what it felt like, so I was having Vio massage me. Wha-!? That's the reason!? Now then... I think that should do it Vio. Thank you! Why did you want Vio to give you a massage anyway? Well, I was making this recipe overnight, and I wanted to relax now that I'm done with it.And, to enjoy it to the fullest, I thought a shoulder rub should do the job... That doesn't mean you have to make ME do it! Now, now... So, here's the recipe.System Message: Obtained the recipe for [Neuro & Phage]! Tattoria’s recipes were starting to cover more complicated subjects.  Felie, it's "phage", not "fudge". Phage? I wonder what that is...? It refers to macrophages. Do you know what those are, Earthes? Leukocytes./Nerves in the brain. Whoa! You're absolutely right! I'm amazed you knew...! Earthes has a lot of obscures knowledge. It's quite surprising sometimes. I made this recipe with inspiration from white blood cells and how they capture and break down bacteria.And of course, the neuro part comes from neurons. Um, I don't think it's that obvious to the rest of us. You're talking about nerve cells, right? Wow! You know so much, miss! I just know the words, that's all.With nerve cells and white blood cells as your inspiration... I feel like this recipe is a step above the rest. Well, that's the idea. I've been making my recipes with that in mind since the beginning.I've made quite a few recipes, and built my confidence. So, I wanted to put my skills to the test. I see... I can't wait to find out what it makes. I'm a little worried, to be honest... For all we know it'll make something really weird. Okay, so maybe a few of them will be weird... But not all of them.Anyway, once you gather all the ingredients, let me know. I can't wait to actually make this! I hope it makes something nice.Alright, I think it’s time for a snack everyone! We’ll pick this up again some other time. Next Time, Ar Nosurge: The Vanishing World

I love Tattoria's sheer passion for reading. That's the kind of feeling I can emphatise with, just enjoying the hell out of books. Going as far as imagining your own stories is beyond what I usually would do though, but that actually sounds like a lot of fun, maybe I'll try it too. Also my god I hope Felie survives, that was a sudden hit of sadness after how funny the previous things were.

Next update will be pretty short, it'll take us to the point where we can no longer progress as Delta and have to do some more with Ion.

So let’s pick the main story back up. Last time Delta and Cass got into a bit of an argument with Cosal, which was ended by Sharanohiar starting to disappear. So now, they’ve rushed to the Green Ocean Hills to see what’s going on.  Some Sharl are trapped… Why are you just looking?! We need to go help them!Sharl A: We can’t. I thought you could fly.Sharl B: The air pressure in the empty space is too low. Sharl A: If you go in there, it’s all over. But if it disappears, then the Sharl there will… …We should call Nay and Sarly. Maybe they can help. …We can’t. I don’t know about Sarly, but Nay would never help the Sharl.You DO remember Felion is a wreck because of them, right? In spite of his previous issues with them, Delta seemed to have turned the corner with respect to the Sharl.  C’mon, let’s hurry! Even if she doesn’t help, she might tell us a way to save them. Hey, wait!Ugh…this is pointless. Come on you two, let’s go.  Daddy… What’s wrong? You look upset. Come on, Nelo! We need to go help Daddy too! Wait, Prim…She’s pretty predictable, but if she isn’t careful she’s going to get in trouble. I just hope the antinomy doesn’t hurt her. There was something Nelo probably should have told everyone, but she didn’t so much. Anyway they all returned to Quanturv to talk to Sarly.   What happened? Did you manage to persuade Cosal? There’s no time for that now, where’s Sarly!? She’s gone to the surface to help Ionasal. Talk about bad timing… Oh, you’re all here. Good. I take it back, that was perfect timing! …So the surface is beginning to disappear.Doctor Leolm: Yes. From what I can tell, a large section is already gone. What did Cosal say? He…wouldn’t even listen to us. Well, we expected that. If this was going to be easy, then someone else would have done it.Don’t worry though, it looks like we can still switch the power source over. Really?! Does that mean you completed a CIEL_N? It isn’t quite finished, but very nearly. The Doctor knows a great deal about 7th Dimensional Wave use. Of course he does.Doctor Leolm: I suppose knowledge of dimensions is my only redeeming quality now. Though we haven’t gotten there yet, it seemed Ion had succeeded.  Her partner will be operating the Surge Concerto Terminal. Partner…? You mean Earthes, right? Yes. He has functions which allow him to operate the terminal. …! That is fantastic news.I didn’t think it was a simple combat machine, but to think it’s this advanced… That seems to be the case. Prime Minister, let’s hurry to finish the CIEL_N. Yes… This is a race against time. Sarly, I know you’re in a hurry, but there’s one thing I want to ask you. Me? What is it? The Sharl are in danger. I want to help them. …Hm. I don’t know what you saw on the surface, and how it changed you.And I don’t intend to ask how or why either. If something’s troubling you, whatever it is, I’ll do what I can to help. Really!? Thanks! But as you said, we don’t have much time. If you want help, you should probably ask Nay.I’ll ask around Quanturv to see if anyone can help. Alright, got it. Thanks, Sarly!They rushed to what was left of Felion to talk to Nay.  Nay! Oh, it’s you…I heard about the Maternal Overseer. Is everything okay? Well… We’re in a bit of a tough spot right now. I see… How are you doing, Nay? Just look around. I’m trying to save as many townspeople as I can from the Flask Sea, but…With so few people, it’s really hard. The Sharl keep attacking. The militia and I have been doing our best to hold them off. Older Man: That’s right! Without Nay, we wouldn’t even be alive. Man: Nay is the guardian angel of Felion! C’mon now, stop it.Older Man: Well, what are the Empress and the Prime Minister doing?! Man: They just ran away! I haven’t seen or heard from them since the city was attacked! Older Man: Bah. They’re the worst, running away to leave regular people like Nay to do all the fighting! Man: You got it. I’ll never forgive them. …While there they certainly did get to hear a very awkward discussion, one they only made worse.  O-Oh, sorry. So, why are you here today? Um…that’s… I’ll tell her. B-But… It’s fine. What is it, what’s wrong? There’s something we wanted to ask you. Well go ahead, I’ll solve any problems you might have! We want you to help us save the Sharl. What?! …Please. Am I really hearing this?You want me to save the enemies we’re still fighting? I don’t understand. …The place where the Sharl live is disappearing.If it keeps up, they’ll all be thrown into space and die. We want to do something before that happens. Are you an idiot?I’m serious, ARE. YOU. AN. IDIOT?! Because unsurprisingly Nay was entirely unwilling to help.  yeah, we’ve been fighting the Sharl, and I haven’t forgiven them.But we learned something while we were investigating the Maternal Overseer. Zill was using the Sharl to gather souls so she could become the Maternal Overseer. But the Sharl thought that they were helping humans by taking them to the Flask Sea. They were suffering through all that fighting so that we could all live together some day. So?You’re saying the Sharl aren’t really bad? That’s why you want to save them? I’m not even angry anymore, this is too ridiculous! I don’t care what their reasons are, I can never forgive what the Sharl have done to us. Sure, I’ll help, as soon as they kill themselves. Nay…We spoke to Cosal before we came here. He’s trying to make humans atone for destroying our planet. You’re saying almost exactly the same thing he said. Wha…! If you both do that, then this fight will never end. Am I wrong? … The Sharl were trying to help us. They did it the wrong way, but their hearts were in the right place.I can’t forgive the Sharl, either. But I don’t think they should die. Please, Nay. Talk with Cosal, as the representative of humanity. She wasn’t really feeling much like she could, in fact.  …Nay! Don’t you get it?!I have to protect this city and its people! I still regret letting Ion persuade me into hesitating to destroy the Sharl when I had the chance. I was stupid enough to listen, and now my city is…like this! My hesitation only brought us suffering. Nay… I’m never going to make that mistake again. I could NEVER trust the Sharl! I know what you’ve done for this city, Nay. Cass and I both say how much you gave.Fighting the Sharl wasn’t the wrong choice. Then how can you ask me to work with them?!Older Man: H-Hey… Are you… Nay, were you the Divine Empress? …Man: Wait, were you?! …Yes, I was! I was the Divine Empress, happy to play princess from inside the safety of Felion! I’m a terrible failure who couldn’t sing right, let the Sharl come back, and then ran away to come here! What’s happening to the city now is all my fault. It’s my fault your families are dead! Older Man: Y-You’re kidding, right…? …Do you want to see the Divine Empress’s regalia I have as proof?Man: … …! Nay!Delta ran off after her.  …Sorry.Ever since the Barrier fell, I’ve been on edge. I thought I was hiding it pretty well, but apparently not well enough. I didn’t realize… It’s okay. I never really expected you to be that sensible. No… I’m really sorry. … Prim said something to me a while back.She said I was always angry, and she didn’t want to get near me. Not just once or twice—she’d say that every time we talked. Well, you do get carried away. You don’t see what’s going on around you, especially when you’re mad. You might be right…But it got me thinking. That anger was pushing people away from me. Sometimes you need to get angry about things that are important to you. I think so too, I don’t think getting angry is necessarily a bad thing.But if emotions like anger or hate get too strong, you start to lose your grasp on the rest of the world. Before you know it, the path you can walk down gets narrower and narrower. …For once, he was looking at the big picture.  So I’m not going to try and force you to help them. There wouldn’t be any point.But right now, we all need to work together to protect this world. To do that, we have to talk to each other, or at least start building an environment where that can happen. That’s why I’m going to go see Cosal again tomorrow. … I’m sorry about today.Older Man: Nay! Man: Nay, please wait! You’re…?!And so, they prepared to leave.  …What are you doing?And they weren’t going to be alone.  …What? Well? Um, I don’t even…First off, could you fix the name? That’s not what you’re supposed to say! The name isn’t important!I’m asking what you think about us going to help the Sharl! Um… Well, I’m happy about it, but…why? …I thought it over all night.About all the stuff you said about anger and hate narrowing your path. I think you might be right. Maybe we’re here now, but in the end we’re really going nowhere. If we stay here, all we can do is live in fear of the Sharl, and get old. I realized that’s not really helping people at all. So I thought… It might be alright to look for another way, just like you said. What about them?Older Man: We feel the same way as Nay! Man: I can’t forget my resentment for the Sharl taking my family away. But I know that alone won’t change anything. Older Man: We also have a bit of a debt to Nay. Man: Yeah. The Divine Empress took care of us. Because Nay at least was not going to let things continue as they had been.  Older Man: If this is what you want to do, then we’ll always be there to back you up! Man: That’s right! All hail Nay! O-Oooh… You’re going to make me cry!Well, if that’s decided, then let’s get going! What’s our destination? O-Oh, right… There are a bunch of Sharl trapped in a place on the surface called the Green Ocean Hills. Got it. Then that’s where we’re going! Huh? W-Wait, Nay…? Imperial Guard, follow me!Man & Older Man: Gladly! …They’re gone. He he. This is good though, right Delta? It looks like you got through to her.You’ve changed a lot too lately, you know. … Delta? Yeah, I’m glad./I didn’t really do anything…/Your breasts sure are small… Yeah, I’m glad. Me too. Anyway, we should get moving before Nay and her entourage get lost. Yeah, sounds good. …It seemed Cass may have started to notice Delta’s strange behavior. Anyway, they all rushed back to the Green Ocean Hills.  I see. It’s like they’re stranded on an island…Older Man: Could we throw a rope over to the other side, and use that to bring them over? That won’t work. Apparently the areas without land have no air, so it’s pretty much outer space. Hmm… Outer space, huh. Even I couldn’t do anything out in space… Isn’t there something you can do!? You’re Nay the Gale! Well of course I WANT to, I just don’t know what I CAN do… Argh… Well, we need to think of something.Unfortunately, they had no way of helping at that point. It would take a bit of help from Ion and Earthes to save the Sharl. We’ll be getting back to them next time. Next Time, Ar Nosurge: To the Sky

It's incredible how chilling the fact that Delta gets dialogue choices is. He's so far gone that the player can now control what he says. It's a really neat gameplay/story integration thing, I think. Not sure how it'd feel actually playing it, but it sure feels that way reading it.

To be fair, people keep telling him his condition is worsening because he is fighting the influence of the player. That same influence is the one with dialogue choices during emotional moments like "Gurl, you got itty bitty titties."  So I can definitely understand why he's doing what he doing.

Yeah the unseen influence on Delta's life does have benefits (some we realize already some which will come up later) but gently caress if it isn't potentially inconvenient at times. I'll be finishing Tattoria's stuff up next time, then we'll be out of side content for the phase. We're actually almost at phase III, where poo poo will continue to get weirder and weirder.

I'm assuming part of the benefits is the battle system, that is the ability to calmly assess the situation including information he really has no reason to know and to keep trucking on with no loss in combat efficiency no matter what his current HP is, as long as it's non-zero. But yeah, that flat chest choice was

If you go back and look at the flashback Delta saw of when he was captured in Zill's mind in light of what we know about his situation a whole bunch of stuff starts to make more sense.

Hoping to have more Tattoria later today. Also, do recall Ar Nosurge Plus comes out this week with a bunch of the stuff that we never got like more bonus chats, costume changing, and I think a fix to the TxBIOS bug?

Okay this is getting a bit ridiculous, she was supposed to be here. Well, nothing for it then, I’ll just have to stick around here. I guess this lets us continue the story, though. Let’s pick back up with Ion, Earthes, and Tattoria. It's on that shelf over there, right? You can have it for 50% off right now. ...Is that the one you made in the beginning? Did you improve it? No, it's inventory I couldn't sell. I'm actually not sure what to do with it... Well, I doubt many people would like to buy cold medicine that doesn't do anything. Th-Then, maybe I should just make it 70% off! I don’t think that’ll work./That’s cheap! I’ll take it all! I think so, too... And I think that's public knowledge by now. Dammit... After all the effort I put in. It's not a matter of how much effort... If you don't have the knowledge, you're not gonna succeed. Tch... Sorry, Felie. I'm afraid it's going to take a little longer for me to finish the cold medicine. ...I see.But... If you could, it would mean a lot if you made it quick. I understand how you feel. It's rather unpleasant, not having a cure for your cold. I've gotten used to it, but it's still painful...Achoo! Felie, are you okay? Y-Yeah... My nose is just a little itchy. Ion, check Felie’s forehead…/Sneezes are a sign of a cold. I-I'm okay, though, really! My nose was just itchy! Ah-!But of course she wasn’t okay.  R-Really? You shouldn't come outside with a fever, you know better! *Cough cough* Whoa whoa, you're so not fine... You're coughing like crazy. B-But that's not... I'm fine...! Felie, I think it's best you go home today.If you keep this up, you're just going to get worse. No... I agree. You should go home, and get some nice warm rest. You, too, Vio?...Earthes... Are you going to tell me to go home, too? If you get worse, you won’t be able to visit./I’m sd to see you suffering. Yeah... If your cold gets any worse, it'll take a lot of time before it'll heal again.So, I think it's best you go home and rest before it does. ...I want to be able to come here... Then, you should go home and get some rest. ...Okay. I'll go home today. You should cheer up, Felie. None of us are going anywhere, alright?You can come back whenever you're feeling better, so look on the bright side. As painful as it was to be parted from their friend, they had to look out for her health.  In the mind. Yeah, that.So, you shouldn't let this cold get to you. Don't let it depress you... Feel like you're gonna beat it! ...O-Okay!Thanks, Tattoria... I feel like I can get over this cold right away! B-But, don't try too hard! Or, it could get worse, too... Yeah. I'll come back when it's all better, okay? We'll be waiting for you. It might get a little lonely in the meantime, though. Hehehe... Then I better get well as fast as I can.Bye-bye. ... ...I hope she can get over that cold. ...Yeah.She wasn’t able to make it next time Ion dropped by.  Whoa! What kind of recipe is it this time? I actually designed this one to make lots of medicine.So, even if it isn't perfect, I'm sure you can make some medicine from it... A-Anyway, here you go. System Message: Obtained the recipe for [Lots of Wonder Drugs]! Wonder drug...? And strong ones, at that? It's just my prediction. You'll have to actually make it to find out. But... If there are a lot of them, I guess the wonder drug doesn't work on anything? There are lots of diseases, right? So, I figured I'd play it safe and cover all the bases. You’re eventually bound to hit something./It’s good to be versatile. You're not complimenting me! B-But, I suppose it's better to put your eggs in different baskets, than all in one, right? Ion, I'm not sure you're making him feel any better.But, are you sure this is a wonder drug that can cure anything? It's a prediction. But, it's about time I started learning how to make these...I don't want to be called a liar, after all. Do you mean your promise to Felie?/Your customers would get angry. That's right... You promised Felie you'd cure her illness. Tattoria, you're serious...?They thought some something that would have been helpful when she was actually around.  Besides, it's almost a given that she's here every day now, right?So, on the off-chance she's not around... Like today, it's a little lonely. Yeah... I wonder if she's over her cold yet...? But, her body's weak, too, so it might be hard to cure. All the more reason we need to fix this thing... ...Hehe, you're really kind. S-Sharls are... kind to... e-everyone. Hahaha, what? Are you nervous or something?Huh? Wait... Do you even know what kind of sickness Felie has? Nope.That's why I'm making medicine that works on virtually everything. Maybe you could start by asking her?Sometimes you could actually tell he was running a store, because every so often there was a customer.  Yup, we do. I'll give you a discount if you buy some.Man: Right on! I'll take one. Thank you much. Come again, and I'll throw in some extras.Man: That's great and all, but we're all still waiting for your cold medicine, you know? Haha... Well, don't hold your breath on that one. Hehe, looks like business is treating you well. Oh, Ion. Ugh... Everyone's putting so much pressure on me.They come to buy something, and ask how the cold medicine is coming along... I think you're getting closer and closer to becoming a proper pharmacy.People have high hopes for you. Is Felie not here again today?/That’s a good thing. I wonder if she still hasn't gotten over her cold...? Yeah, she hasn't been here all morning... Probably still sick. I see. I wonder if she's okay all on her own? ...It looked like she was in pain, but I think she's okay. What do you mean?Vio, at least, had made time to check up on Felie while she was stuck at home.  Wha-!? When did you get so close!? And when did you do that!? When you were sleeping on the job. So, did she say anything? No, I just looked through the window.But, when she noticed, she waved in my direction. ...Were her parents there? I only saw her room. I doubt her parents were there, though. Felie... She must be lonely. You could go talk to her…/You could go see her more… I don't think I should do that...She might get too into the story, and her condition could worsen. Yeah. It must be boring for her, lying in bed all day. I'm sure she would get too excited from a story.Maybe we could just wave to her from time to time. But, this has taught me one thing. That Felie is much weaker than we think she is... Yeah. I wouldn't have guessed, from the way she waltzes into the store....I wish she would get better. That’s your job, Tattoria! Of course, I haven't forgotten!My pride as a pharmacist, and my promise with a young girl... Two reasons I can't give up! ...I have to say, I was a bit worried at first, but now, I think I can actually expect some results.Hurry up and make that medicine to cure Felie. Haha, well, I did make a promise. Leave it up to me.Though, the news was not good.  Vio, you seem down. Though, I can guess why... Are you sure Felie's okay? She hasn't shown up since that incident...You stop by her place sometimes, right, Vio? Yeah, but lately... She's lying down more often than not.And, I can only see her from outside the window. It's hard to get a good look... ...That must be lonely. Yeah. I really want to see her. You could pay her a visit? Hm, I wonder if that's okay...? We avoided seeing her so as not to make her condition worse... But it's been quite some time since she collapsed, right?It's very lonely, being sick all on your own. Especially if it's chronic. I don't think it would be rude to stop by and see how she's doing. ...You sure it'll be okay? Encouragement is important, too./You don’t want to go? Yeah, and sickness starts in the mind, right? It's decided, then. Let's hurry up and go to Felie's house... Wait a sec-!Vio, if we're going to her place, we should bring a gift or something, right? A gift...? Well, shall we swing by the bakery on the way over, then? But, she might not have much of an appetite. Maybe we should avoid food.Flowers are of course never wrong.  Flowers, huh...?That's it! I just thought of something great!! Something great...? You mean, a recipe? It was originally for you, miss... But I think if we tweak it a little bit...Alright! This ought to do it! Here you go! System Message: Obtained the recipe for [For Felie, with Love]! I-Is this something you made especially for Felie? Hehe, yeah.Though, I just added some recipes for Felie to what I was going to give you, originally. Then, are you sure it's okay to name it after Felie...? Well, if that's the main purpose, what's the problem?Pretty sure Felie's gonna feel much better with this. I'm excited to see what the recipe makes.We should hurry up and gather the ingredients... Anyway Tattoria actually was getting a better idea of how humans really were.  Older Man: You understand me? I just can't get over this fatigue. Sleeping more doesn't solve the problem?Older Man: Well, if I sleep too much, then I get tired, too. ...Seems like you have it rough.Older Man: That's why I'm begging you. Isn't there something you can do? Heh heh, yeah, just leave it to me. I've helped many people just like you.Older Man: Really!? You can help me? I don't refuse the requests for help from those in need. It's my motto, after all. ...Perhaps you should stick to having a single motto.Older Man: Alright. I'm holding my breath for this one. Looks like they asked you for something specific...? He's having a hard time getting the fatigue out of his system or something. What could I do... You've made supplements in the past, right? I have, but I think the ones I've made before aren't strong enough for his needs. Maybe he's not getting all the nutrients he needed. Yeah... But, you'd think people would be okay, even if they're missing one or two...Sort of important if he was going to succeed at his task.  You think so? One nutrient doesn't seem like it should change much. In extreme cases, lacking one crucial nutrient can lead to sickness, or even death. Wha-!? Just one nutrient!? I guess humans are really delicate, like Earthes said. But if this is a matter of life and death, I should really speed up the R&D for my new products! Is it something that can be sped up? I've made some supplements in the past, so I doubt this should be much of an issue. You can get it done tomorrow! No, I don't think I can make it that soon... Though, you made Felie's recipe in an instant! I just put a little twist on an existing recipe that time.Still, I think I can hammer this out pretty quick. Hang tight, guys. He was able to get it done pretty quickly.  Wow, I'm not used to Earthes opening up a conversation. What's up? Me neither... I've never seen him like this before. I’m changing my image./Because I’m looking forward to this. Not enough to call it a makeover, though, I think... Ahahaha, it doesn't matter what it is. I'm happy Earthes is getting involved in our conversations.And yes, I've finished the recipe. It's an improved version of a previous one, so it didn't take long. And, here it is... System Message: Obtained the recipe for [Daily Supplements for Enthusiasts]! What? For enthusiasts? Yup, that's right.Well, it's not for the ordinary person, which must mean it's for enthusiasts, right? And I had a feeling that the "enthusiast" branding might give it a little boost in sales. ...True. If something said "enthusiasts" on the box, I might be tempted to try it. Couldn't you have called it something else? It's so much cooler to put the word "enthusiast" on the box! W-Well, I suppose it has a certain appeal, when you see the word "enthusiast" in a parts store.If you think of it that way, perhaps you might be right, Tattoria. ...I have no idea what you guys are talking about anymore.But, when they next returned, things were a bit grim.  ... ... Wh-What's the matter? You seem really down... ...Ion. Yes? Felie is... What happened to her? Felie didn't have a cold... Huh? What do you mean!? I went to visit her with some flowers... But, she couldn't even get out of bed. Was she born with this illness? Yeah... She said she would be okay if she kept warm, but moving about was definitely out of the question. Was she really that sick? Apparently it's a rare disease. I've only heard of it... And I don't know much about human sicknesses... I'm told one or two people die from this every year. ...There's no cure for it? If people are dying from the disease, surely there are researchers trying to solve it? It's being researched, but it's just so rare, they haven't found a cure yet. So, Felie's been living indoors to slow the progress of her sickness.Tattoria was feeling rather bad about the situation.  If only I didn't make that bogus cold medicine, she would never have come to this store... It’s thanks to that we’re friends./It’s too late to say that now. Yeah, Tattoria! It's thanks to you that we're all friends now, you know? Besides... Right now the outcome is what it is... But I think she has a lot of fun spending time with us. So you can't blame yourself. And remember, you made that little girl a promise, right? The promise to cure her illness...? Jeez, what other promise could I be talking about? Don't tell me you forgot it already!? Of course I haven't! I never break my promises! Then, you should stop feeling sorry for yourself, and think of ways to cure her. Depression can be your worst enemy, you know? You can fail where you might have succeeded. ...Yeah, Ion's right. And you've got the only pharmacy in Sharanohiar. We can't be the ones depressed! ...Yeah. You guys are right. If I'm down, I might not be able to make medicine that I normally could.You’d be amazed how often this dumb ‘determination push past the impossible’ stuff actually works. The impossible really isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.  That's the spirit, Tattoria! We’ll help you too./We’ll be cheering for you. ...You remember? The promise we made...? Hehe, of course. Earthes and I want to see Felie go play with the other kids, too. Although, we don't know much about medicine, so the most we can do is help you gather ingredients... No, that'll be a huge help! If you help me collect ingredients, I can focus on making new formulas! Tattoria will make the recipes, and Ion and Earthes will gather the materials. I think this is a good division of labor. It's decided, then. Let me know when you finish a recipe. We'll gather anything you need to make it! Haha, of course. I've no doubt in you and Earthes. Now that it's decided, there's no time to waste! Time to research Felie's illness.Though it does take some time to actually do it.  I actually just finished a new recipe. What? Already? It's not Felie's medicine, unfortunately... This one's for you! Oh? Um, that's flattering, but... Are you sure you should be making medicine for us and not Felie? I'm working on Felie's all the time, of course...But her recipe won't be easy. In the process of trial and error, I came up with a bunch of different ones. And, this was one of the results. It seemed like something you could use, so I wanted to give it to you. Ah, I see...Hehe, looks like you're working really hard. It might seem strange coming from me, but I really think Tattoria's working really hard. And he's improving.He seems to be hitting the books while manning the store, too... Heh heh, pretty cool, huh? ...Thanks to that, there've been some mishaps in the store, though... It must be tough trying to multitask.Slowly but surely he was making progress though.  Yeah... Pointing out the mistakes, or fixing the books is something I can help out with, too. Vio. You're a real reliable sidekick, you know that? You just realized that!? I've been supporting you all along, in case you haven't noticed! Hehe, you guys are quite the combo. A-Anyway! I wanted to give this recipe to you...System Message: Obtained the recipe for [Skin-care in Combat]! Wow, skin care? I'm actually surprised this interests you... I'm a girl, you know. I like to look nice and take care of myself. Hehe, I'm glad you're happy, then.But... Like the name suggests, this is for while you're in combat. I wouldn't recommend using it in bed... Yeah, but I'm still excited to see what it makes.I can hardly wait... Though not all progress brings good news.  ...I'm glad to hear from you, Earthes, but I've just hit a wall in my research. Something the matter? Well... Yeah.Remember how I told you Felie's illness still doesn't have a cure? But, apparently there are drugs that will help reduce the symptoms. Th-Then, that medicine could help Felie-! It won't...The drug keeps the symptoms at bay, but it's just a temporary fix... Besides, the medicine is hard to come by, and expensive, too. I see... I guess it's because she has a very rare disease. It makes sense that it's hard to come by.Then, the reason Felie's parents work so hard is...? You'd think it's to buy medicine, right? But that's only half of the story. Half? So, the humans consider this place to be utopia.Which means, the reason people work hard here, is to contribute to this ideology... To help create this utopia. So... Her parents aren't working for Felie's medicine? They're working hard for others? Until late at night...?How could they leave Felie at home? Alone...? That's actually not uncommon. Especially among the Sharl.But... In this case, I had just hoped they gave a little more consideration to Felie. Earthes decided to give Felie’s parents the benefit of the doubt.  Yeah... They seem like strong advocates of supporting Sharanohiar, but...It seems a big reason they work so hard is to help Felie... I think there's no doubt there...Though, I guess that doesn't make Felie's medicine any easier to come by... After all, the best option she has is just temporary relief. ...Yeah, I was a little surprised by that, too.But, I looked up this medicine, and discovered what ingredients are necessary. So, I'm going to try and make this medicine from scratch. Once I get my hands on the ingredients. ...I want you to answer me truthfully. Does this drug seem plausible? I know what's needed, so I'd say the odds are in our favor.Heh, what am I saying? This is me we're talking about. The odds are 100%! For the first time in a while they had actual good news.  D-Don't tell me, he...! I finished a recipe... To make the ingredients needed in the drug.System Message: Obtained the recipe for [Again, for Felie with Love]! W-Wow, Tattoria... That's amazing! Great job! Don’t relax just yet!/Great work! You're being too hard on yourself. It's pretty amazing, just finishing the recipe for materials. Yeah! I we must give credit where credit's due... No. Earthes is right.I'm not here to just gather the raw materials... I want to make medicine to help people! This isn't over yet. But, it's truly amazing, completing the recipe.I think you deserve a little rest, even for today. But it's just a recipe. We still don't know if this will actually make the medicine.I'll save the celebration for when the drug is complete, and Felie's cured. That sure built up a bunch of dramatic tension, didn’t it? Which is kind of terrible, since we won’t be resolving this today. I leave you on one last scene, which is a bit of a one-off.  Tattoria, you should give them that recipe. You have another new recipe? Well, technically, I do, but... What should I do...? Is it special or something?/You want us to pay? Well, how can I put this... You don't seem like you like this sort of thing, miss... Hmm, well, there are quite a few things I'm not good with, so I don't even know where to begin. Vio, do you know what kind of recipe it is? No, I haven't seen it yet, either. Unless you count the times he was trying to hide it from me. drat... I should've hid it in the middle of the night. I'm curious to see the recipe, but if you really don't think it's ready, I respect that. ... Heh, I mean... I'm pretty sure it'll make something useful for you, so I should probably hand it over. But, don't complain, no matter what you see... Stop teasing and show us the recipe! Okay, okay... Here it is.System Message: Obtained the recipe for [Necro World]! It seemed Tattoria had been trying to understand death.  I warned you. You might not be good with this sort of thing... Umm, are you okay? You scared? Well, I uhh, read light horror novels sometimes, so... I guess it's something like that. I don't really mean to, but I get curious sometimes and take a peek... Ahaha, I know what you mean. I have similar experiences. Um, what's with you, Vio? Why are you all quiet and looking away? I-It's nothing. Um... Would you mind not pointing that recipe my way? ...Weakling. Q-Quiet! Everyone has a few weaknesses, right!? Actually, I was wondering... Necro refers to the dead, right? Like zombies…?/Why would a pharmacy make that!? A-Ahaha... I was actually thinking about that, too! Ion... You're actually scarier than I thought. B-But, if you read fantasy or sci-fi, it's completely normal. Necromancy, or zombies... Or bio-weapons show up all the time. But... Why did you think to make a recipe like this one? It didn't start out this way, actually... How should I put this...?Since Sharl don’t really die the way humans do, that was probably a good idea.  I've never had anyone close to me die, really... I see. So, you're not too familiar with the concept of death, then? Right. It seems very surreal. ...Is that strange? No, I think you're actually really blessed. Yeah. It's not fun for anyone... If a loved one dies... It's umm... Sad, right? No, not just that. It's like... Losing a part of yourself. Hm? How do you mean? Well, uhh... Pain that cannot be described with words. ...Yeah, that's exactly right. Wow... I had no idea. Hmm, I guess it's really hard to understand? It can't be helped... It's not something you can really explain to someone.Anyway, that’s it for now. We’ll pick up with the main story again next time. Next Time, Ar Nosurge: To the Sky

Pollyanna posted:Are the differences significant enough to grab it over just watching it unfold here? It's mostly just minor tweaks and some extra costumes, no actual major story changes, so you won't be missing anything just reading this except for the three new additional purification chat characters (and Feinne might cover those too, so who knows). There's one or two minor changes which I thought were nice. You now actually have to be in a specific location to have the purification chat about that location, and there's an actual tutorial popup about the L1/R1 special attacks. Oh, and Cass kicked Delta after I accidentally touched her on the touchscreen during purification

Hmm, is it story time again? Well, last time I think Delta and Cass got a bit stuck trying to help the Sharl. So let’s see what Ion and Earthes were up to in the meantime. They were looking for an airport that was supposed to be in Sharanohiar, with Tattoria and Vio tagging along. And sure enough they found it. No way… Why!? I did it! I win! But how… I’m sure it was buried when the planet was being created……Of course! The Sharl have been panicking about land disappearing lately! If only I had remembered sooner… He he. See? My information network is pretty good, right?Since we’re here, I should gather some materials. There’s a lot of good metal around. …We need ingredients for dinner, too. Are you trying to make me eat metal…?It seemed to be exactly what Ion was looking for, though of course there was a bit of a problem. Nothing ever goes smoothly.  Yeah, it is! They look more like airships than spaceships, though. Just imagining these things flying around in the ancient past makes me excited. Do they still work? I’ll go take a look.Hmm… This is a little beyond me… What should I do… I tried messing with them before, but I couldn’t get them to work.Do you know anyone who might be able to figure them out? Hm… Oh! Of course! Sarly!Thanks, Tattoria! I need to head back now, though. O-Okay. Be careful. If you can get one of those airships to work, give me a ride, okay? Yes, of course. All right, we’ll see you back at the shop. Later!They rushed back to Quanturv to find Sarly.  Oh, hey. What’s wrong? I might have figured out a way to get to Sora! What is it? Uh, well… I can’t make any guarantees, though… Tell us the details. There’s a Sharl village called Honokano on Sharanohiar.It’s close to the Airport, and there are a lot of spaceships there. I thought I might be able to use one of those to get to Sora… Spacecraft… With the ability to travel though space, our chances of reaching Sora improve significantly.You’ve made a valuable discovery, Ionasal. But…it seems like the spaceships are broken, so I was wondering if Sarly could fix them. Hm… I won’t know without looking at them, but even I don’t know much about spaceship repair.At it turned out, though, someone they knew did.  Doctor? Do you know something?Doctor Leolm: You, the 7th Dimensional Terminal. Earthes, right? Yes, what do you need?/Why did you call me that?Doctor Leolm: …So you’re aware that you’re a 7th Dimension Terminal. Interesting. He’s an ES45 Cathode Type 7th Dimension Terminal. It’s likely he is the key to operating the spaceships. What?! Really?! Wh-What did you say?Doctor Leolm: It’s most probable that he is an avatar designed to control the Soreil. He likely has control privileges in many areas, not just the Airport. Really?! Then do you mind if we go and try the airships at the Airport?Doctor Leolm: That would be best. Ms. Planck, perhaps you should accompany Ionasal, as well? Huh? Why?Doctor Leolm: Even if they possess the key, if they do not know how to use it, it will be of little use. You’re the only one who understands what I’m saying when I mention ES45 Cathode Type, correct? AH, you’re right. I don’t know if I’ll be much help, but I suppose it can’t hurt.But…would you mind waiting a bit? We’ve almost completed the CIEL_N to switch the power source. Yes, of course. How much longer do you think it’ll take? Unless something happens, it should be done by tomorrow. Then we can go to Sora with the CIEL_N installed.Anyway, why don’t you just relax here in Quanturv for the night. Okay, will do. Sorry about that.With nothing better to do, Ion and Earthes hung out around the city.  There’s so much going on… Just sitting around makes me feel restless.…But it’s probably good to take time off once in a while. I know we really only just met, but… I feel like we’ve been together for a really long time. He he he. Oh… But you must have things to do in your own world. I’m really happy you came here, but don’t push yourself too hard, okay? It’s fun to be with you, Ion./I think of you as my wife, Ion. Really?…Thank you. I enjoy your company too. I feel relaxed with you. But…sometimes I feel a little scared. I don’t know why you chose to do this—to be here with me, I mean. I’d like to think you enjoy being here, with me, but… A-Anyway, I mean it when I say I feel relaxed with you, okay? Ionasal.Undou tracked them down, he had something he wanted to discuss with Ion.  No, I was having a bit of trouble.There’s something regarding the Surge Concerto Terminal that we’re going to have to address. It was created by Clackett. It’s very well crafted. Dr. Clackett… The person who called me to this world. A unique intellect. We once conducted research together, but… His knowledge was on a different plane. Was he really that amazing…? Well…he worked in a field much different from mine. Sarly would know more of his research.And Doctor Leolm seems to know even more than Sarly. I’m sure he was connected to Clackett somehow. That is why I am leaving the creation of the circuit to them. He sure did leave behind something incredible. But it’s because of his research that I’m here now… It’s a little mysterious. Isn’t this painful for you? After all, you were brought here from another world by force. At first, yes. All I could do was cry…But now… I”ve come to love this world. I see… You’re very strong.He also just in passing brought up one of Ion’s other missing allies.  Now, returning to the laboratory, I feel both nostalgic and invigorated. That reminds me… Does Felion really not need you? It has already collapsed. It can no longer function as a city. My remaining there would serve no one.I respect the Divine Empress for staying. She gives courage to those around her. I think even Nay worries about things…But she still does whatever she can to help. So please, don’t say you wouldn’t be helpful. …I never expected you to admonish me. You really have changed.However… There was a greater Prime Minister before me. Who? Renall Tatalca. Her leadership was magnificent. She had an innate understanding of how to lead.If she had commanded PLASMA instead of I, no doubt Felion would have been able to resist much longer. I wonder where she could have gone… I don’t even know if she’s still alive. …Which did leave all seven of them mentioned, though with two unaccounted for that’s rather unhelpful. The next morning Ion and Earthes returned to the lab to pick up the Song.  Really!? It’s called “Class::XIO_PROCEED;.” It will force the power routes to reset, and take power from another dimension.Doctor Leolm: You should Chain with Earthes, and try installing it. Okay!Let’s get started, Earthes! How did it go? Did the install work? Looks like it did. He he, that’s good! Alright. Let’s head for Sora, then.Doctor Leolm: Best of luck, Ms. Planck. I’ll do my best.I’m heading out for a bit Prime Minister, so take care of everything while I’m gone. Of course, but… Are you sure you’re alright? You haven’t rested in quite some time… There’s not much point to resting if the place you rest disappears out from under you. I certainly can’t deny that… Anyway, Ionasal, would you mind taking me to the Airport? O-Of course, but… Maybe you should sleep a little first.We have to fix an airship once we get there, you know… Thanks for your concern, but I really just want to get going.I…want to see the sky again. Sarly…Ion decided to check up on Nay before heading out.  Hey, Nay! Are you here?I guess she’s not around… Maybe she’s in the back doing something… I’ll go take a look. Of course as soon as Ion left, Nay came out.  Huh? Oh, hey Earthes.What, are you by yourself? Where’s Ion? Went to go find you./Don’t know. Ahh, I geuss I owe her an apology.So, what brings you here today. Looking for me? Wanted to ask you something. Now that doesn’t happen everyday. What is it? Ion forced you to become Empress? Oh, yes, of course…Yeah, that’s right… Ion forced the title onto me, moments before Ra Ciela was destroyed. Though because of that, I’m the Empress today… …Back then, if I wasn’t the one who happened to be there… I wonder what would’ve happened? Maybe I wouldn’t be stuck I this position. Responsibilities and all… I could’ve lived a normal life in the city… Maybe help someone occasionally… Maybe in another universe, right? Heh… Or, I might’ve still been a dancer. Like before… He actually managed to get Nay talking about herself, however briefly.  You know, under the name Pretty Berry, I actually had quite the following.Put me up on a stage, and we’d sell out the entire venue. Heck, we’d even have premiums on the tickets. That’s pretty amazing./You must be joking… You don’t say! I wish I could show you what I was like…Anyway, there’s no point in reminiscing about the golden age… That was then, this is now. There’s no way to turn back time, no matter how much you talk about it. But, thanks for listening to me… Heh, I guess I was doing all the talking, huh? It’s because you just sit there and listen, I keep rambling on and on about myself. That’s the end of this topic, alright? …/Huuuuuuuuuh!? …What? You want to hear more or something?I actually don’t really like talking about my old self that much… OH, yeah! How about I just show you one day? Like a live performance! Whenever you’re struggling in battle, call out to me! I’ll show the Pretty Berry Show: Battle Edition! So, don’t hesitate to call. System Message: Obtained Nay’s Friend Skill, [Pretty Berry Show]! Nay! When did you get back!? I looked all over for you… Oh, sorry, I was taking a nap, hehe.With that done, they headed back to the Airport.  Wh-What do you think? First of all, these aren’t spaceships or airships. This is a space bus. Space bus? It has pre-set destinations, so anyone can use it. You just press a button and it goes. Huh… I took a look, but the systems aren’t too complicated, and they aren’t broken.But…like the Doctor said, there should be something around here only Earthes can operate… I don’t really see anything… Then it must not be on the space buses, but part of some kind of control system.We might have some trouble finding it. I see. Hm… …You can’t really use your Oversight right now either, can you? No, the sensation is really weak, and everything is too fuzzy.Nelo said I didn’t have the Bus to support the connection to my world. …Hm. That sort of makes sense. I guess we’ll just have to be very thorough. It seems kind of hopeless… Don’t worry, we’ll find it with the process of elimination. It’s just like science. Um…okay… Alright, let’s start looking around the Airport.Sure enough, they found something strange nearby.  What’s wrong? Nothing… I just thought I saw the gauge move a little bit.Huh? By the way, where did you find Earthes again? That’s pretty cute, Sarly.She didn’t “find” me, we MET! Hm, you’re a lot better than you look. You’re pretty interesting. Earthes, huh… Um, we met in a dream, then… We met in reality, too. …I don’t really follow. I-I don’t really know how to describe it…Oh, right, he’s kind of like a Genom. I can use Song Magic because I’m Harmonized with him. A Genom…? This machine?Could I take a look? Sure, of course. Hm, I see… So this is an ES45 Cathode Type 7th Dimension Terminal. I see what you meant, Doctor. Do you have any ideas? Ionasal, this machine might be able to connect with the Surge Concerto Terminal. What?! This…no, I guess I should say “he.”What’s more, Sarly had some more information on the Avatar itself.  What?! S-So…he was built in this world? Of course. Where did you THINK he was from? I thought he was created by my dream… I guess not. Well, with your power you might be able to create something like this with Song Magic… But he’s not yours.Let me prove it to you. Earthes can link with an even greater system: The Soreil itself. …I’ll get started. Did anything display yet? SYSTEM_WAKEUP/./LOGOUT/.Announcement: Quell->EXwil[quin]->[secta 350tt.]; Amazing! Does this mean the system started up!? Looks like it. He might be more important than any of us thought.Let’s get back to the space bus. Created with Song Magic, huh… Nothing, just thinking about some old, hmm, friends maybe? Anyway, the bus was working.  Th-That’s amazing! I never knew you could do things like this! Seriously. I always knew you were awesome, though!Aaah! What was that?!As it happened, ‘that’ was Sharanohiar beginning to collapse.  Dammit, did we take too long? Wh-What’s going on? The Maternal Overseer’s absorbing souls, right? It looks like the effects of that have finally reached us. No… We have to help the Sharl! You can’t! There’s no point!Right now ewe have to get to the Surge Concerto Terminal and switch the power over, or none of this will matter. Am I wrong? But…! Listen to me, Ionasal.Take this bus to Sora, and you’ll find the Surge Concerto Terminal there. There should be a holder at the terminal, like the one we used to start these systems. When you find it, have him enter, then connect the ES45 Port on his neck to the R91 Port in the holder. You aren’t coming with us? I’m going back to the Control Room. I need to keep an eye on Nay, Delta, and the others in case they need help.Besides, with Earthes you shouldn’t have any problem controlling those systems. Ion did have one request for Sarly before she left.  Good. See you later, and don’t take any unnecessary risks. Sarly! What? Please, help the Sharl. …I promise I’ll do whatever I can to save humans and Sharl alike.Oh, right. Take this. What is it? A simple communication Tron. It’s better than nothing.Anyway, be careful. Okay. Thank you!And so they headed to the sky.  As for what awaited them at Sora, well… That’ll have to wait for next time. Next Time, Ar Nosurge: Sora

Let's have some more trivia! Mute Tier: What was Jack's real name? This song allowed all the IPDs to effectively sing together. The name of the incarnation of the planet encountered at its core. Tyria's singer. The name of the Teru's settlement on Ar Tonelico. Misha Tier: This weird dude was just chilling among the floating platforms around Ar Tonelico and never had any function other than to say enigmatic poo poo. Give any of the three Synchronity Chain callouts. Cocona had an actual battle song magic on a side CD. What was its name? Mir Tier: Just what does "Ar Ciel, Ar Dor" mean? And hell while you're at it what did Ar Ru's name mean?

Something happens if you select LOGOUT in that choice, right? I think I remember that.ACES CURE PLANES posted:No sane person ever put Luca in their party. Not willingly at least. Not after the scene. I've really, really never gotten this. Did they not telegraph "she's attempting to push everyone away because failure just activated all her self-loathing issues" hard enough or something? They're not exactly subtle about it.

The big problem is that there aren't a lot of incentives to keep using Luca once Mir joins unless she's your main heroine. Mir's just straight better in every way that matters with respect to the game mechanics, because the main thing the secondary heroine brings once you've got the primary one to the point of having their baller song magic is extra MP to support bigger songs and longer Blue Magic and Mir just has more. The text dump suggests Sarly just keeps trying until you do it right if you select LOGOUT. There are some things that can kick the game back to the title menu later though as I recall. Ciel technically means sky but yeah it's generally to be read as world. Feinne fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Jul 3, 2015 |

Last time things were getting pretty exciting, Ion and Earthes were about to head to Sora. And for once things were easy, because they were able to land without any problems. Sora, as it turned out, was a little bit more impressive than they’d been led to believe. So this is Sora… It’s really pretty. It was a lie that nobody would want to come here./If this was a date… I know, right? It’s so nice. It seems like a great spot for sightseeing.Now that the space bus works, a lot of people would probably want to come here. Although…maybe this isn’t the time to think about that. We need to find the Surge Concerto Terminal. They found the interface at the base of the huge structure. Video- “Terminal Troubles”  Watch This system is what’s connecting us.If it didn’t exist, we probably never would have met. I want to thank you, and this system for…letting me get to know you. I’m glad I met you, Ion./So it’s this thing’s fault… He he, you think so too? That makes me happy.I hope we can stay together for a long time. All right, time to do what Sarly told us to do! Um… I think this is the holder. Would you mind getting in? Are you alright? I’ll start now, okay? ES45 and R91… How’s that? Start the system./Do nothing.Announcement: Quell->EX[quin]->{CONSOLE}; The Surge Concerto Terminal sprang to life.  What should I do… Just pushing things randomly would probably be bad…Well, maybe just a few… No, this isn’t the time for that. I need to hurry up and sing the song. …Um, Earthes. There’s something I want to tell you. Well, say, I guess. I just wanted to say…thank you. Oh, sorry, I don’t mean, like, “goodbye” or anything like that. It’s just that if we pull this off, then the Sharl and the humans will all be saved. And I never could have made it this far without you… So really, thank you. I mean it. Anyway… Let’s sing for everyone, together! Ion attempted to execute the Song.  Unfortunately, there was a bit of a problem.  Huh!? Wh-What happened…? It says “Song terminated due to system operation.”I should ask Sarly. What’s the situation? It looks like the song was stopped! There was an error… It says “Song terminated due to system operation.” …Got it. I’ll see what I can do over here, just hang on a few minutes. I’ll have it fixed real quick. Okay!…Wh-What should we do? There wasn’t much they could do, and so we switch back to Delta and Cass. With Nay in tow, they headed to see if Sarly could help them save the Sharl. Conveniently, Sarly was looking for them as well.  We’ve got a problem too, but go ahead. Thanks. We’ve actually made a lot of progress.Ionasal found the 7th Dimension connection system, the “Surge Concerto Terminal” in “Sora.” She tried singing the CIEL_N to switch the ship’s power source, “Class::XIO_PROCEED;”. Awesome! Did it work? No, it didn’t. The problem wasn’t the CIEL_N. Something happened that was outside of our expectations. What does that mean? To switch the power source, all systems on this ship have to be shut down temporarily. Is that hard to do? Not especially, you just need access to the control console. The problem is the console’s location. The console is part of the Ar noSurge Tube. In other words, It’s on the Star Singer’s Platform. The Star Singer’s Platform!? It’s at the top of a tower in Sharanohiar. Nobody here has been there before. There’s another problem. If the Soreil is shut down for even a moment, all the land will disappear. That means the moment we shut down the Soreil, all the Sharl will…The situation was looking pretty grim.  … Leave that to me. Nay?! Well, I was here to help the Sharl in the first place, so this doesn’t really change anything. Thanks, Nay! Just leave it to me! Then we should… Yeah. Go to the Star Singer’s Platform. … We’re counting on you. I had run into a little trouble, though. I don’t know how to help the stranded Sharl. Any ideas? I found the Airport with Ionasal earlier, so you can use a space bus from there. Oh, that’s almost too easy. I don’t even get to show off… Daddy! What is it, Prim? …Prim’s going to help too! Really…? Prim was wrong about Daddy and the others.So just let me know what you want! I have a lot more power than you might think! Thank you, Prim… It’s okay, I’m just sorry I didn’t figure it out sooner. Prim…! N fei ah W coa-dou xxew-uii;And then things got rather confusing.  Aaaaiee! What’s going on!? It’s okay! Prim’s gonna work really hard! Is everyone alright!? What… Just happened? Nelo, let’s go! If we don’t go help the Sharl, the Maternal Overseer will start rotting! …What? C’mon, hurry! Wait…!…This is too fast. She’s already corroded too much. This is bad. I need to try and reduce her antinomy as much as possible… Nelo followed Prim out, clearly worried about whatever it was she was talking about.  Huh? Y-Yeah, I’m fine, this is just a scratch. It looks pretty deep. It’ll be fine once the blood stops. Don’t worry. Okay… More importantly, where are Prim and Nelo? Where’d they go? I don’t know… It appears Prim used Song Magic. It doesn’t really look like she held back. What’s she thinking… She said she was doing this for us. For us…? … poo poo, the blood won’t stop.I’m worried about them, but I think we should go see Nay after we get me patched up. Y-Yeah, you’re right. Sarly, sorry but could you let me use some water? Sure.After Delta left, Cass brought something up.  …You’re thinking the same thing? What Prim said and what she did didn’t exactly match up.That’s how Delta was acting back when he opened the Barrier. …I see. Hey, Cass! Let’s go! I’ll be right there! …Cass, be careful. Yeah, thanks.They met Nay at the Airport, where they hoped to make use of the space buses to help evacuate Sharanohiar.  Man and Older Man: Yeah! We’ll drop you two off somewhere close to the Star Singer’s Platform on the way. Oh, thanks. That really helps! So, how do you start this thing? …That reminds me, I didn’t ask. Man and Older Man: WHAAAAAT? C’mon, settle down. I’ll just ask Sarly. Push the power switch./Poke Nay’s cheek.That should do it. Wow! It started! I’m surprised you knew where that switch was! …What? Things like locks and passwords and hidden switches mean nothing to Delta. His intuition always figures it out. Intuition, huh… That sounds just like Delta!Anyway, now we can get going, thanks to the great Delta! … Hey, Delta. We’re going now. Huh? Oh, sorry.Delta’s problems were starting to get substantially worse.  Like a broken clock… What? No, it’s nothing. It’s time for the Sharl Rescue Team and the Star Singer Attack Squad to roll out!This will be a dangerous mission, but everyone do your best! Man and Older Man: Yeah! Unfortunately, they were unable to reach the Star Singer’s Platform by air. Nay dropped Delta and Cass off near the Altar of Nohiar.  That’s fine, just getting us this far is a huge help. Thanks, Nay! It’s all up to the two of you now! You better be ready to give 110%!Older Man: Be careful! Man: We won’t let you down! Good to hear! We’re leaving Sharanohiar to you! They’re gone. Time for us to get moving then too. This is the moment of truth. Delta! What’s wrong?Cass was a bit bothered by the whole situation. She seemed to be sensing something was going on with Delta.  What? That’s not like you. I still can’t believe we’re saving the Sharl we wanted to destroy, or that we’re outside of the ship…Now that the Maternal Overseer’s here, we’re all just trying to keep the world form disappearing. It seems like it wasn’t that long ago that we were just chasing Sharl away from Felion, you know? What’s going to happen to our world… Cass…Don’t worry. I’ll fix everything, using my intuition! … Sorry, bad joke. Honestly, I don’t know what to do. But we don’t have a choice: All we can do is try.And whatever else happens, I won’t change. I’ll always be here to look out for you. …Delta. Now, we really should get going. We need to get to the top of this thing. Yeah.We’re almost done with this section of the story. We might even manage to finish things up next time. Until then, get some sleep. Next Time, Ar Nosurge: Class::XIO_PROCEED

XIO_PROCEED may be my favorite CIEL_N. EDIT: Wait no I'm confusing it with the one right after it on the album. It's still great though.
