[The journal suddenly starts recording to catch a young woman's voice in mid-sentence. Sadly, the camera is directed towards the ground.] -at this button does... Is it broken?

This is hopeless. I'll never figure this device out. [A deep sigh.] If only Pascal were here...

[The image shakes, then tilts harshly until the camera is directed towards a stone ceiling instead. A hand swiftly moves past the screen.] ... Ah? What's it doing now?

[And finally, the journal is tilted one last time to show a girl with long pink hair, wearing a New Feather dress and staring into the camera with a confused expression.]

Of course. [...He'll have to tell Cheria he adopted Sophie.]

Has she been eating more than just crab omelettes? [Because she knows Sophie longer than today, and she knows what her favorite dish is.]

Ah, well... [She has been eating a lot of crab omelettes, but...] Of course. We have curry at least three times a week. [Surely you know what Asbel's favorite dish is too.]

[...] Asbel, you do know one needs to eat two pieces of fruit a day, don't you?

O-Of course I do!

And are you including enough vegetables in your curry? [Of course, we all know that Cheria will be taking over cooking in the house from now on.]

I... I have! I've been using the same ingredients I always saw you use! [But it tastes nowhere near as good because he doesn't know what secret ingredients she uses on the sly.]

[Goodness, why are they even arguing about this? Cheria decides to try and sort through her priorities again.]

... Well, either way. I'm happy to see you, Asbel. I think... things would have been a lot harder, had you not been here as well.

[Because Asbel always gets defensive when he's being mothered.]

...Yeah. I'm happy to see you too, Cheria. It hasn't been quite the same without you around.

Shall we search the rest of the stores before heading home? I'd like to see the others as well.

Ah, yeah... That'd be a good idea. I'm sure you'd like to get your knives back.

Yes. [She nods faintly. Her knives, but also that crosophie memento she'd been keeping. Which store would that even be in?]

Then... Are you ready to go? [He gives her a smile.]

Please, lead the way.

Right. [To the smithy!]

[She follows, her hands still clasped together before her. Every so often, her gaze falls on one of the other residents as they pass them by. There's such peculiar folk roaming this village... And Rydia said some of them might be dangerous. Instictively, she tries to walk beside Asbel, rather than behind him.]

[Don't worry, Cheria. Asbel'll protect you, even if he doesn't realize what's troubling you.

Finally, they arrive at the smithy. He opens the door, looking inside.]

...They must be out to lunch right now.

[Cheria enters as well, glancing around curiously. So many strange weapons... Her eyes fall on something that seems to be a mix between a gun and a blade. ... A gunblade?]

... It's like something out of Hubert's comics.

Haha... It is, isn't it? They have all sorts of strange things here.

I wonder what sort of knives they have... [She's used to an assortment of throwing knives, after all. As long as it's small enough to pocket, but sharp enough to do damage, it should be fine.]

Hmm... [He glances around the shop. They definitely had an assortment of weapons.]

Well... I'm sure you could always request something if needed...

No, I'm sure it'll be fine. [She heads over to one of the tables to see what's inside one of those nice boxes.]

[Following! Just what could lie in those boxes...?]

[Why, it's those nice knives that come with Cheria's DLC BoA costume title. She takes one out of the box and holds it up to examine it.]

[Those are indeed nice knives, Cheria.

You should take them.]
