 Chloe: Good work, Cain! Thanks for letting me observe your training today! 

Chloe: I learned a lot and you were super cool! The way you looked holding your sword was awesome!

Cain: Haha, you flatter me. I’m glad I was able to be of service to you, Chloe. 

Cain: Ah, I didn’t notice it was getting late. The Sage and Eastern wizards went out on a mission today, hope they come back soon. 

Chloe: Same. I’m wishing for everyone’s safe return…

???: Oooi.

Cain: Hmm? I hear a voice in the distance… Is that them?

Chloe: No, it’s not… That voice is…

Cain: What the…! Is that a bathtub floating down the river?!

Rustica: Ahh, hello~ Are you two enjoying some afternoon tea in the forest?

Chloe: Rustica! What in the world are you doing here?!

Rustica: As you can see, it’s a bathtub ride. The lovely babbling of the river was like music to my ears, it’s whispers invited me on an adventure. 

Rustica: It’s nice to spend an evening like this every once in a while. I’d like to tell the Sage and Eastern wizards about it when they return from their mission. 

Cain: I’d say this is more like river rafting…

Chloe: Rustica, you’re being swept away!

Rustica: Don’t worry, Chloe. The stars in the night sky are returning my greetings. I’ll be back in time~

Chloe & Cain: …

Cain: Chloe, let’s go help him! At this rate, Rustica will be swept away for good!

Chloe: Yeah! We’re on our way Rustica! 

Rustica: Oh? Those two are coming over here? However, they appear to be rather panicked… 

Rustica: I see, you wanted to ride in the bathtub as well. Fufu, you should have told me sooner~
