everything is going to be alright, kurode!
Myunna - “Kurode…? Hey! Myunna is speaking to you… Are you listening…?” “—Kurode!” Kurode - “!?…” “Oh! Uhm—I wasn’t paying attention…” “My mistake—what were we doing again?” Myunna - “Myunna didn’t mean to shout… But, is everything okay?” “The last time you spaced out… Myunna had to push with all his might because a carriage almost ran you over… (And that was today.)” “Is something on your mind? It doesn’t seem like a fever.” Kurode - “It’s fine, Myunna.” “A bad habit. That’s all there is…” Myunna - “Myunna can tell... When you’re lying. If you’re feeling bad, you can just say it and I would understand.” “And if you don’t feel like talking about it—Myunna says that’s also fine. I want to make you feel heard—so don’t bottle it in, Kurode.” Kurode - “Myunna…” Myunna - “Would you like to talk about it?” “Y—You don’t have to, if that’s what you want.” Kurode - “Home…” “I’ve been thinking about it a lot.” “I haven’t contacted my family in weeks.” “After a long while of being gone… Wouldn’t they contact me? Wouldn’t there be someone who recognizes me from a missing persons’ poster?” “…I—I just want them to ask about me. And I can say I’m doing okay. Just fine! But… Nothing at all. Not even after I became a squire.” “If the Red Continent are proud people of virtue—am I just a nobody in their eyes? A betrayer who left for another country?” “…What am I anyway? Talking… Doing this? Why am I here in the first place?” “Couldn’t Lady Kuromi have picked someone more impressive—stronger and more confident than someone like I am?” Kurode - “I just…” “Don’t seem to understand anything. Who wants a knight who knows nothing? Not even themselves.” Myunna - “Myunna… Isn’t very good when it comes to consolation—And I never met your family, so I don’t really know what to say.” “But Kurode, you’re someone who helped Myunna against that SEED, didn’t you?” “You’re brave and didn’t hesitate to help me.” Kurode - “…I’m sure any knight could do that.” “It was just one SEED anyway.” Myunna - “And would you say that to Myunna?” “Wasn’t Myunna in trouble and needed your help?” Kurode - “I… No, I wouldn’t. You’re someone who’s talking to someone like me and encouraged me into this position.” Myunna - “And if you wouldn’t say that to Myunna, you shouldn’t say that to yourself either!” “Kurode… You’re someone I think very highly of, even if it was only recently that we met.” “It isn’t your strength, even if that helped us against that SEED—but the person you are.” “Myunna admires you a lot because you’re a good person in my eyes!” “Uhm… Myunna doesn't know if that got away your worries!” “But please, talk to Myunna like this if you’re ever feeling down.” Kurode - “…It made me a little better.” Myunna - “I’m glad!” “Myunna hopes for peace and ease of mind.” Myunna - “Oh!—Let’s do something together, the two of us!” “You haven’t fully seen Kuromi Kingdom, and neither has Myunna!” “That is… If you’d like to?” Kurode - “That sounds like a great idea.”
Extra #1
Myunna - “Before I go… Myunna has something to give you.” Kurode - “A neckless?” Myunna - “Not any neckless—a vial of Wheat Tears.” “It has healing properties and even able to purify SEEDs, but—they’re symbols of rejuvenation and rebirth.” Myunna - “Myunna… Sincerely wishes the best for you.” Kurode - “Are you really sure about giving this to me?” Myunna - “I have one of my own!—Giving this to you would be nothing at all.”
“Wheat Tears” are a rare commodity with healing properties and can purify SEEDs. For a SEED, it is like holy water or water to a cat. Apparently, Cogimyun’s tears are capable of giving life.
Extra #2
Cielomort - “Merold.” Merold - “?” Cielomort - “You aren’t going to get anything out of me by acting like that.” Merold - “You’re the only one who impresses me.” “So why not we fight, Cielomort?” Cielomort - “I have better things to do.” Merold - “And it’s not me?” Cielomort - “Don’t let ego cloud you, Merold.” “All this is to say I have matters I need to attend to. It isn’t the time.” Merold - “So later?” Cielomort - “…”
Extra #3
Romarriche - “For the strongest knight in the world—your handwriting is certainly adorable.” Merold - “C’mon Romarriche, even I can’t read it.” “But is it good?” “I need to congratulate Kurode on his squireship.” “Pronto!” Romarriche - “Keep practicing, Merold.” “If you can wield a sword, I’m certain you can wield a pen.” Romarriche - “Here. Let me demonstrate you aga—” Merold & Romarriche - “…” “It broke.” Romarriche - “…Maybe. We both need lessons on calligraphy.” Merold - “Control yourself, Romarriche—you just need to stop exerting your strength.” Romarriche - “For a knight… How do you have such bad handwriting anyway?” Merold - “Let other people write by hand—typing is more efficient and faster.” Romarriche - “Merold…” flicks Merold’s forehead, “That type of behavior will lead you to neglect essential training.” Merold - “Owie…” “Look at you, I-Tore-a-Street-Lamp-to-Beat-a-SEED-Senseless…” Romarriche - “T—That was a one-time thing!”
Kurode who reads the letter from Merold, "Am...Am I being warned?"
