Dialogue[]

You meet Aurele, Verut, and Lovi once again in the Court of Fontaine. They don't seem to be playing a game this time...
- (Talk to Lovi, Aurele, or Verut)
- Verut: C'mon, brother, this way! We haven't seen that big house, have we?
- Aurele: Take it slow, Verut, or you'll fall again. You too, Lovi. Your father says that you're in ill health, so you might catch a cold.
- Lovi: Ugh, your brother's such a nag, just like my mom!
- Verut: I know, right?
- Aurele: You two...
We meet again.
What are you doing?
- Lovi: Hey, it's you! Well, we're not playing hide-and-seek this time.
- Aurele: More precisely, we're done playing... and we got an earful from Ms. Nour too.
- Lovi: She's always so serious when she's at work, lecturing people left and right. And I even gave her biscuits in the past!
- Lovi: Well, whatever, we were tired anyway. I was gonna take Verut and Aurele around to grab something delicious.
- Lovi: Would you like to join us in our... Uh... What do we call it?
- Aurele: A stroll.
- Lovi: Yes, a stroll! Come with us!
- Verut: Let's head to the plaza over there. I wanna see the fountain!
Well then, lead the way, Miss.
Well, please lead the way, then.
- Lovi: Alright then! Let's... head over to the plaza first. The fountains there are all very beautiful.
- (Approach the plaza)
- Verut: Wow... I'd just love to jump in and tread water or use the fountain to take a bath!
- Aurele: And that'll get you scolded for sure. Just watch it from outside, please.
- Verut: But if the fountains aren't for people to play in, then why are they so big?
- Verut: They might look nice, but if you can only look at them, then they're just pools of ordinary water. Nothing to them!
- Lovi: This is no ordinary fountain, you know. But... Wait, my dad did mention those ordinary fountains... What was it that he said again...?
- Aurele: "The main purpose of city beautification projects in the Court of Fontaine is to solve tax declaration issues in a flexible fashion."
- Aurele: Mr. Delerue was explaining this to me.
- Lovi: Hah, you even sounded like my father back there. No wonder he likes you, Aurele. I mean, he always takes that stack of books with him when he talks to you.
- Verut: I didn't understand a word of that, but I bet my brother's killing the mood again.
- Verut: Lovi, let's find another place to play. I mean, you don't have to study today for once, right?
- Lovi: Alright, let's go see some other places. Let me think... The Steambird should still be open. Let's go over there!
- (Approach The Steambird)
- Aurele: So this is The Steambird? It... doesn't look all that special, really.
A most ordinary place, yes.
There is nothing all that special about it, yeah.
- Verut: Wow, so they really do have a machine bird here! Cool!
- Lovi: Right? My father often takes me here to purchase a newspaper.
- Lovi: He absolutely loves The Steambird. In fact, he could spend all day just reading the newspaper. Sometimes, he even cuts pieces out and sticks them in a book he keeps.
- Lovi: He calls those his "reviews," and sometimes, he even reads them out to my mother and me.
- Lovi: We don't really like hearing them, though. We just say "yeah," and "oh," and "is that so?" and stuff, but he enjoys reading them so much that he doesn't even notice.
And what does he mean by "review"?
- Aurele: Simply put, a review is a set of opinions that the reviewer expresses from their own perspective.
- Aurele: Lovi's father, Delerue, is a scientist at the Fontaine Research Institute.
- Aurele: At the same time, he's also a "reviewer" who writes "reviews" on The Steambird.
- Lovi: Yeah, and he sure loves his lengthy reviews of... well, everything.
- Lovi: Sometimes, he'll think of something as he talks, and he'll rush into his room to scribble a draft. He won't even eat while he's at it. He just drinks tea.
- Verut: Huh. You can make Mora just by giving your opinion?
- Aurele: That alone won't make you a "reviewer." You need to follow some principles if you want to write a review that others will acknowledge...
- Lovi: Um... Uh... Well, anyone hungry?
- Lovi: Mr. Louis told me that he's been selling Bulle Fruit-flavored fries recently. Let's go and try some. It'll be my treat!
- Verut: Oh... yeah, sure! C'mon, brother, stop rambling. Let's go!
- Aurele: You two...
- (Talk to Louis)
- Lovi: Mr. Louis! I'd like a few servings of Bulle Fruit-flavored fries!
- Louis: Ah, if it isn't Lovi! I'm afraid I'm out of Bulle Fruit for the day. There were too many people at the port, you see...
- Lovi: B—But I told you about this a while back, didn't I? And I even brought some friends with me...
- Louis: *sigh* I'm sorry. There were too many customers today, and I forgot... I do have some ordinary fries here, though. Please, take them on the house.
- Lovi: Alright, then. Thanks, Mr. Louis...
Are you just missing Bulle Fruit?
I could fetch you some Bulle Fruit.
- Louis: Well, if you can provide me with some, I could make the sauce right away. I do have some of the other condiments left over...
- Lovi: Yay! You're just awesome!
- Verut: Thanks!
- Aurele: I'm very sorry. It seems that we always trouble you somehow whenever we meet...
No need to be so formal.
Let's not get everyone down over this.
- Aurele: Alright then. I need to learn from you. Mr. Delerue says that I'm too stolid, which will make becoming a reviewer in the future hard...
- Aurele: *cough* Never mind that. I'll watch over the two of them. As for the Bulle Fruit, we're counting on you.
- (Talk to Lovi or Verut again, optional)
- Lovi: Is your brother always so serious? I've never seen him smile...
- Verut: Not in the past, but he started becoming like this ever since he started reading with your dad. Now, he's always frowning, and I don't know what he's thinking.
- Lovi: Urgh, that really does sound just like my dad. Mom says that it's like he's always wrestling with something.
- Verut: But what is he wrestling with? Did he argue with your mother or something?
- Lovi: No, they never argue!
- Verut: Adults are so weird...
- (Talk to Aurele again, optional)
- Aurele: Sorry for bothering you. I'll take care of them here. Someone's gotta stop them from running off...
- Aurele: If I can become a reviewer for The Steambird, I'll be able to earn an income...
- Aurele: But Mr. Delerue said that if I wanted to become a reviewer, I can't prize Mora too much. Otherwise, I'll start down the wrong path.
- Aurele: But I really do need the Mora... What should I do... *sigh*
- (Talk to Louis again)
- Louis: Have you brought the Bulle Fruit?
- (Submit
Bulle Fruit ×3)
- (Submit
- Louis: These should do. Please give me a moment...
- Louis starts making Bulle Fruit sauce...
- Louis: And we're done! These fresh-from-the-oven fries are on the house. You can eat them right away, but be careful, they're hot!
- Lovi: Nice! Tuck in, all of you. They're great!
- Lovi: Oh, and Aurele, don't tell my father about this, or he'll lecture me again...
- Aurele: Heh. Don't worry. In any case, I doubt Mr. Delerue is all that interested in fries.
- Verut: Well... what about me?
- Aurele: You just eat up. As for my share, you can split it amongst yourselves. I don't really like eating fries.
- Verut: Hehehe, in that case, I'll help myself! C'mon, here, you should try some too. This is all thanks to you, hehe!
- Aurele: Ah, right, I have to go buy Mr. Delerue some coffee later...
- Lovi: Wait, you can't do that! Mom has banned Dad from drinking coffee for a long time now.
- Lovi: Every time he drinks coffee, he will cough non-stop in his room. He even goes hoarse in the process.
- Lovi: Dad says that he does all this for work, but what sort of work makes you suffer like that?
- Aurele: ...Is this the "price" he mentioned for writing excellent reviews?
- Aurele: The work of a reviewer sure seems hard...
