Dialogue and Scripts

Sickness
Anna: Oh, [playername]. Maria is laid up with a cold. Why don't you go visit her for a while? Good her room is over there.

(the player is taken to Maria's room)

Maria: What? Visiting me? Thank you very much.

(looking around the room)

Maria:Those are my favorite books.

Lots of cute small things.

Maria:Oh... That's an unfinished children's story... I'm embarrassed. So please don't read it.

(leaving)

Maria: Thank you very much for today.

Fireflies
Maria: If you're not busy, let's go up the mountain. There's a wonderful sight there. Good. Let's go.

[In the mountains]

Maria: Shhhhhh .... quietly.....

[at the Goddess Spring]

Maria: Look. Isn't it beautiful? Fireflies need really clean water...... They can't live in in dirty water. I hope they stay living here forever... We must try to keep the water clean.

A little self doubt
Maria: It's no good not being able to clearly say what you want to say. I should change my ways, don't you think?

>Yes, change.

Maria: ...... I, I'm sorry. I've never spoken so forthright before.

>You're fine.

Maria: I guess I was hoping deep down that you'd say I didn't have to change. You need tremendous courage to change your personality. Thank you for listening to me talk all the time. I'll try my best to be more positive.

Sprained ankle
Maria: Ouch... I seem to have twisted my ankle.

>Carry her.

Maria: Oh, I... I, I'm OK. I......

>Get help.

Maria: T.. Thank you.

Harris: No, I'm OK.

Dream realization
Maria: Hello. Please feel free to read here.

... An old children's book......?

Maria: Oh, excuse me, but that's not from the library.... it's my book. Oh... was that you who gave me the book...?

>Yes

Maria: ... I thought it might be you... but I couldn't ask... Thank you very much. I was very happy.

(outside)

Maria: Well, see you later... Please come again.

>I don't know

Maria: ... I'm sorry. It's a childhood memory. I can't remember the face... though I can remember events around that time. It's been more than 10 years, so even if I were to see him now, I wouldn't notice. But it's my treasure.

Love Confession
Maria: W, wa, wait.... I... have something to tell you, [playername]... I had never said this before... but I'm a little braver now...... I, I...... I like you. This is the first time I've felt this way. So I really wanted to tell you. ... I'm sorry.

(starts to walk away and turns around)

Maria: I'm so happy to like you.

Dealing with the salesman
Mayor: ... In this way, I was completey deceived. I'm sorry, dear.

Anna: That's too bad. Why don't you tell me first?

Mayor: He seemed to be in a lot of trouble, so... I thought I could use my secret savings... Oh, gosh......

Anna: Honey, please don't be depressed.

Mayor: Aren't you angry with me, dear?

Anna: I don't get angry about such things. That you're good-natured is an old story.

Mayor: ... I'm sorry. I'll look for a part-time job.

Anna: Oh, dear <3 Well, Maria will be worried if she sees that long face of yours. Try to put on a happy face for her.

(Leave the town area towards the crossroads)

Sammy: Well, I don't have to work for a while now.

Maria: Please wait...! Well.., even if father and mother forgive you, God won't.

Sammy: What? God? I don't care if other people forgive me. I don't expect my happiness to be answered with prayers. I'll work myself to become happy.

Maria: Are you realy happy... getting only money?

Sammy: Stop it. Don't use your own yardstick to measure other people's happiness. Well-bred girls like you can't understand.

Maria: ... Don't you feel a pain in your heart when you hurt other people?

Sammy: ...No. Are you afraid of hurting other people?

Maria: ... I don't like it. It can't be good that people hurt other people.

Sammy: You don't want to feel uncomfortable yourself. You want to feel comfortable, so you're kind to others, right?

Maria: ...No, that's not it...

Sammy: All men are egoistic. Well, I must be going.

Maria: Please wait...!

Sammy: .... Something else?

Maria: I can't express myself well. Maybe you are right. But, but, I......

Sammy: Gold pendant.... God's blessing? It'll be just turned into money, you know. Good bye, young lady.

(Maria begins to leave and comes over to you)

Maria: Am I wrong? Is he...... happy?

>He's happy.

Maria: You think so? I feel a pain my heart watching him .......Excuse me.

>Unhappy

Maria: Praying for him...... Is it self-satisfaction after all...? .......Excuse me.

>Don't know.

Maria: ......Excuse me.

(The next day, a letter arrives)

This is too heavy for me. Please return it to the girl with the glasses. (A gold pendant is included)

(Take it to Maria)

Maria: This... I gave to him... ...... I can believe his feelings, right? .... I want to believe.

The Life and Times of a Caterpillar
Popuri: Here you go, Maria. The green caterpillar I told you about yesterday.

Maria: Wow, can I really have it?

Popuri: Yep. It's a real pest to flowers, so I have to get rid of them. But... Maria is curious.

Maria: Oh, it turns into a beautiful butterfly. It's kind of cute now, too. But it's such a shame. It's natural that they eat leaves.

Popuri: Right, and it's also natural that spiders and birds eat green caterpillars. There's no help for it.

Maria: Oh, Popuri, you are so mean...

Karen Looks Like a Bug
Karen: Quick! Quick! Get it off!

Maria: Karen, I can't get it unless you stay still.

Karen: Hurry! You're so slow!

Maria: There you go, I got it off.

Karen: Ha, ha.

Maria: This little guy looks kind of like you, Karen.

Karen: Who are you calling a grasshopper!?

Maria: Oops, sorry!

(Karen leaves in a huff)

Maria: I meant to say that your hair... is like these cool looking antennas... It was supposed to be a compliment.

Cooking fish is delish
Maria: Wow, Elli. You're good at cooking fish...

Elli: Well, we're taking a life and eating it. The least I can do is to make a good meal of it.

Maria: Maybe I'll practice cooking fish too...

Elli: Yes, I'll teach you sometime. Here you go... it's ready.

Maria: Thank you.

Watermelons
Ann: Maria! What are you doing!

Maria: Well... It seemed he'd have problems if he couldn't sell this, so...

Ann: You got pressured again, huh? I keep on telling you to just say no!

Maria: I'm sorry.

Ann: What are we going to do with all of this?

(You approach and talk to either Ann or Maria)

Ann: Don't you want a watermelon? 300G each!

>Buy

Ann: Thank you! Here, Maria. 600G.

Maria: What?

Ann: This part is for me. I'll have it for dessert tonight. See you!

>Don't Buy

Ann: Oh, gosh!

Maria: Ann...

Maria and Harris
(Harris is making his rounds)

Maria: Excuse me... This one... please.

Harris: Yes. Certainly. Ms Maria... This doesn't have an address.

Maria: Ummmm. This is for you.

(Harris gets flustered as Maria leaves)

Maria, Harris, and the Salesman
Sammy: If you drink this "Lively Tea" everyday, you will become very healthy! And it has cosmetic effects, too. Why don't you try it. 5000G for one month!

Maria: No, I..., I...

Sammy: It's also good for dieting! And I'll add in this high-grade soap! Come on now.

Maria: ...B, but, I can't buy such expensive things.

Sammy: No, no. If you think about the cost per day, it's not expensive. You can be beautiful for just a little money.

Maria: B, b, but...

Harris: Hey! What are you doing here!?

Sammy: What? I'm just a salesman.

Harris: I heard a rumor about a salesman selling strange things. It's you, isn't it?!

Sammy: No, no. I'm just trying to help this lady become beautiful.

Harris: What?! Maria is already beautiful! She doesn't need that junk! Get out of here!

(Sammy walks off)

Sammy: Poooh. I thought she was an easy dupe...

Maria: Th... th... thank you very much... I have a hard time saying no... I should change, but... ...

Harris: No, Ms. Maria, you don't have to change! Well, I, I'll be going back to work.

Harris and Maria's marriage
Harris: Hey [playername], I'm going to get married with Maria today. Please come to the ceremony at the church!

Dream
”Thank you for showing me...” ......An old fairy tale book......? ”...When will you come next time?” ”We'll visit again next summer. Right, ?” ”Really? Will you really come again?” ...The girl is about to cry...... ”What? For me? Is that OK? Thank you. I'll take care of it.” ”Come on ......say goodbye to little......” ...The girl was waving for a long time... ...That was...
