Are you Euden?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Yes, that's me. Why do you ask?<br /> {{ST|???}} And you are accompanied by two women...<br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Er, and what does that have to do with anything?<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} ...?<br /> {{ST|???}} Then it seems the rumors were true...<br /> {{ST|???}} You beast! This calls for the Loving Hand!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Sorry, did you just say the Loving Ha—<br /> {{ST|???}} Take this!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Gya! ...Huh?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} That...didn't hurt at all. Which is strange, because it SOUNDED like it should have done some serious damage.<br /> {{ST|???}} The Loving Hand is not meant to hurt!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Interesting...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Look, can we maybe talk about why a strange lady just walked up and slapped me in the face?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} My name is Estelle. I am a preacher.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} As an advocate for the teachings of the Church, I can't allow your wretched behavior to go unpunished!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} The heck did I do?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} There is no shortage of rumors with you at their core...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} One of which claims that you surround yourself with young women in that castle of yours and engage in all manner of... of...of indecencies!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} WHAT?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} And now I see you with my own eyes, flanked on either side by women fair!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} What exactly are you implying?<br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I-indeed! Wh-whatever you think our... r-relationship is, you are quite mistaken!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} She's right. This is all just one big misunderstanding...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Is that so? Hmm. Then it seems I allowed myself to be fooled by hearsay.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I apologize for acting rashly before I fully understood the situation.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, it didn't really hurt, so I guess... Anyway, I'm just glad we got it cleared up.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} There's nothing special between Cleo or Elisanne and myself. We're just friends.<br /> {{ST|Cleo &amp; Elisanne}} ...?!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Hmph. Is that so?<br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Nothing...special...? I...I see...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Did the temperature just drop...?<br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Whatever do you mean? This is how people act when there is nothing special between them.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Indeed. We are nothing more than friends, after all.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I am so confused right now...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Now I understand... You are a villain!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Oh, come on!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It would be remiss of me to let you out of my sight even for a moment.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} So I will stay here and make certain you do not do anything untoward!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I have no idea what's happening here...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But I feel like I just got myself into some major trouble.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode2Title=A Preacher's Responsibility<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hyaaah! Hah!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ......<br /> {{ST|Euden}} *pant* *pant* Phew...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Do you train that hard every day?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} It's the only way I'll get stronger.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...It seems I owe you an apology.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What for?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The more I watch you, the more I come to see you for who you really are.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You are an honest, hardworking, and beloved man.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm sorry I ever doubted your integrity.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah. That.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, don't worry about it. It's not like your doubting me did any lasting harm.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But the whole reason you came here was to watch over me, right?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} True.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} If you don't need to do so anymore, does that mean you're going to leave?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I...<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Hey, there's our teacher! Reverend Esteeeelle!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Children!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Whatcha doin', Reverend? ...Oooo! Are you on a daaaate?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Silence! I will hear no more of this foolishness!<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Ha ha ha! You're in trouuuble!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Run awaaay!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What was that about you being their teacher?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Wherever there is a shortage of teachers, preachers must step in to help the children with their studies.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} A teacher, eh? Hmm...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Do you have a problem with that?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Not at all. I think it suits you.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} W-well... Anyway, back to what we were discussing...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} You mean about you leaving?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} What? You're leaving, Reverend?!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Noooo! You can't leeeave!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Calm down, children. I'm not going anywhere.<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Really?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Yes. Really.<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Yaaaaay!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Are you sure you want to stay, Estelle?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Leaving now would be tantamount to abandoning these children.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} A preacher cannot be so irresponsible.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, that's good.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} The children aren't the only ones who would be sad if you left, you know? I would be, too.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Y...you...?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Revereeeeend! Your face is soooo red!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Estelle and Euden, sittin' in a tree! K-I-S—<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} STOP THAT THIS INSTANT!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You really are a villain, Euden!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} This calls for the Loving Hand!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What?! Why?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Take THIS!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode3Title=Pranked<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|???}} Gaaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What was that scream?! ...Huh?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What's this bug cage doing here?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Euden?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Estelle? What's wrong?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Don't give me that! Was it you?! Were you the one that threw bugs into my room?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Why would I do something like that?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Hngggh...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What are you staring at...? Oh! The cage?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Look, it was just sitting here. I don't know where it came from, I swear.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ......<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I know it sounds like I'm making up excuses, but it... I... Um...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} A-are you gonna...?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...No. Now that I think about it, you really have no reason to act in such a manner.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Oh, good. Um...sorry?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Why? It isn't as if you have anything to apologize for. ...Riiight?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} True, but I...just felt like I should say it.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} *sigh* You are a strange one. Sometimes your kindness gets the better of you.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Is that so? Um, ha ha...<br /> {{ST|???}} Over heeere!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Huh? I think someone's calling me.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Wh-what the—?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Why is there a laundry bucket here? Tsk! The floor's all wet. I better hurry and mop this up...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah, Estelle! Be careful!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Huh? Aaaaaahhh!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Owww... For Ilia's sake, why is the floor covered in suds?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Sorry! But it wasn't me! Or... Well, I guess it was, actually.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hmmm...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I know that you are not the kind of person to do this as some sort of prank...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} But still, I would appreciate a bit more consideration! People could slip and hurt themselves, you know.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Uh...yeah. Sorry...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Thanks for helping me organize this room, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You are most welcome. I must say, though, it's rather odd for royalty to engage in tasks like this.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Whether a person is royalty or not doesn't matter much around here. Now then, it should be riiight baaack...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} This room is certainly...＂cozy.＂ And dusty. And full of all sorts of strange things.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Gah! What happened to the lights?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Gaaah! Oh, Goddess!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Estelle! Estelle, are you okay?! Aahhh!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What the—! Gaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Owww... S-sorry, Estelle... Something caught my leg...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I-it's fine... But could...could you just move, maybe?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah—right!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Phew... That was terrible...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I should be the one saying that!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah! Sorry...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Honestly, will your tomfoolery never end?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I-I'm sorry! But I don't mean to—<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Not you. ...You might as well come out! I know you're there!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Huh?<br /> {{ST|Child}} Heh, guess you found me...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What?! When did this kid get in here?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You realize you've been the target of all those pranks, right? Well, you're looking at the culprit.<br /> {{ST|Child}} Hey! You just ratted me out!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Of course, I would never allow you to get away with such behavior! You've earned yourself a Loving Hand!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} There!<br /> {{ST|Child}} Ha ha! That doesn't even hurt!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Then as FURTHER punishment, you are going to clean the church from tip to toe!<br /> {{ST|Child}} Whaaat?! Ugh... Fiiine...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} For Ilia's sake, I hope this will teach him a lesson.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hey, Estelle? Could you do that to me, too?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What? But those pranks weren't your fault...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Still, I made you upset, didn't I?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I think I'd feel like I made it up to you that way.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Well... If you insist...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...There.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Thanks. Now I feel less guilty.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Well, that's good. ...Although very strange.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The Loving Hand is supposed to make people reflect on their actions, and yet you feel absolved...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Heh. Well, this is a special case.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} It's only your Loving Hand that could make me feel like that.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh... Well... Thank you...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} (Only...mine...?)<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode4Title=The Loving Hand's Power<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Ilia teaches that love tolerates all things, is compassionate, never grows envious...<br /> {{ST|Villager A}} ......<br /> {{ST|Villager B}} ......<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...endures all things, believes in all things, hopes for all things...<br /> {{ST|Village Chief}} Thank you so much, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Village Chief}} Everyone in the village rejoiced in receiving the word of Ilia.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Not at all. I am a preacher; it is the least that I could do.<br /> {{ST|Village Chief}} We look forward to your next sermon.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm glad to hear that. I am still studying, but I hope my passion will make up for my inexperience.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Phew...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} That was great, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Euden?! Were you listening?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I sure was. The villagers were hanging on your every word!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Still, you must think I'm not really cut out for this kind of work...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Not at all. Though it is a side of you I'm not really used to seeing.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} That's nice, but I have a long way to go until I reach the level I want to be at.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What level is that?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Well, the reason I wanted to become a preacher was because that's what my grandmother did.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} When I was little, I was always getting into trouble.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Really? Heh. I never would've guessed, but I can kind of see it...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} My grandmother was the kindest woman I'd ever met.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} She hardly ever scolded me for being such a mischief-maker.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...Until the day I pulled a truly awful prank.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What happened?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I hurt someone.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Oh. What did your grandmother do?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} She disciplined me—for the first time in my life.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Let me guess: the Loving Hand?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Yes. I remember it as if it were yesterday...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It hurt so much.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Er, but I thought the point of the Loving Hand was that it DOESN'T hurt.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The pain I felt was not physical.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It was an ache deep in my chest.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The very same anguish that I had inflicted on my grandmother.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} So the Loving Hand conveys the pain in a person's heart?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Exactly! The Loving Hand is not supposed to hurt; rather, it is supposed to make someone understand the emotional pain that YOU feel.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} That's kind of incredible.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Isn't it?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Seeing you talk about your grandmother with such love makes me understand how wonderful she was.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh! N-now I'm embarrassed...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} There's nothing to be embarrassed about.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} No, it's just... I have a bad habit of letting my emotions get the better of me.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I rely on the Loving Hand far too much.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But that's not a bad thing, is it?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It is unacceptable behavior for a preacher to engage in, Loving Hand or no.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I ought to be kind and compassionate, not let my temper get the better of me!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, that may be the right thing to do as a preacher...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But I like you just the way you are. I know you're trying the best you can.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Wh-what are you saying?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Take THIS!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Augh! I'm so sorry! See, I just do it without thinking!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ha ha! That's okay. It's just who you are.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} And everyone loves you for who you are.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Y-you... You really are a villain!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode5Title=Care to Do the Honors?<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} *sigh* What do I do...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Is something wrong, Estelle? You look upset.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh, Euden... Well, it's the children...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} The ones you're teaching, you mean?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Yes. Day in and day out, they keep pulling pranks—and they're getting worse.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Kids don't really know where to draw the line, do they?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Those children ought to know better!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Between my constant warnings and the Loving Hand, you'd think they'd have learned by now.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Maybe I'm just not able to get anything across to them after all.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Estelle, I—<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Huh?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What was that sound?! Let's go see...<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Oh no, oh no! What should we dooo?<br /> {{ST|Child B}} What CAN we do? It's EVERYWHERE!<br /> {{ST|Child C}} All the ingredients and dishes are all messed up!<br /> {{ST|Child D}} We're gonna get in trouble again...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What are you doing?!<br /> {{ST|Children}} Eeep!<br /> {{ST|Child A}} It's not what it looks like, Reverend! R-right, everyone?<br /> {{ST|Child C}} R-right! Yeah! We were just... Ummm...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I have had it up to here with you! You've gone too far this time!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Let go of my arm, Euden!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} At least listen to what they have to say, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} You're a preacher, right? That means, first and foremost, you talk.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm sorry!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Wait, Estelle!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ......<br /> {{ST|Euden}} So this is where you went... I was really worried when you ran off like that.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Leave me alone.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Okay, if that's what you want.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...You were right.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hmm?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm a preacher. I should have resorted to words before anything else.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm...I'm a failure!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} There was no way I was ever going to be as good of a preacher as my grandmother!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I don't think that's true.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But if you don't believe me, why not ask them?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Who?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Reverend...?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Children...<br /> {{ST|Child D}} Um...here.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Is this...cake?<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Yeah. Everyone helped bake it. We hope you like it...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You made this...for me?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Daddy always says that presents help people feel better, so...<br /> {{ST|Child B}} We just wanted you to feel better.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh...<br /> {{ST|Child C}} We tried really hard, but we kinda messed up baking it.<br /> {{ST|Child D}} Sorry it didn't turn out that w-well... *sniffle* Waaaahhh!<br /> {{ST|Child A, B, and C}} We're sorryyyyy! Waaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh, my dear children...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} See? They know you're doing your best.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} You're getting through to them more than you think.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Maybe you're not exactly like your grandmother, but I still think you make a fine preacher.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Th...thank you.<br /> {{ST|Child B}} *sniffle* S-sorry, Reverend.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Don't be. It's I who should apologize to all of you.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I am so sorry I never realized how hard you all were trying.<br /> {{ST|Child D}} Y-you aren't gonna...?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Of course not! I am the one at fault.<br /> {{ST|Child A}} So, if it's your fault, does that mean...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What? Oh. I suppose so.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Would you mind, Euden?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Wh-why me?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You were so worried about us, it seems only fitting.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Please.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} All right. But promise us something. Me and the kids.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Promise you'll never give up trying to be the best preacher—and teacher—that you can be.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Of course!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Good. Right then, here goes...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} ...There.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}</div>

This calls for the Loving Hand!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Sorry, did you just say the Loving Ha—<br /> {{ST|???}} Take this!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Gya! ...Huh?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} That...didn't hurt at all. Which is strange, because it SOUNDED like it should have done some serious damage.<br /> {{ST|???}} The Loving Hand is not meant to hurt!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Interesting...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Look, can we maybe talk about why a strange lady just walked up and slapped me in the face?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} My name is Estelle. I am a preacher.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} As an advocate for the teachings of the Church, I can't allow your wretched behavior to go unpunished!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} The heck did I do?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} There is no shortage of rumors with you at their core...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} One of which claims that you surround yourself with young women in that castle of yours and engage in all manner of... of...of indecencies!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} WHAT?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} And now I see you with my own eyes, flanked on either side by women fair!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} What exactly are you implying?<br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I-indeed! Wh-whatever you think our... r-relationship is, you are quite mistaken!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} She's right. This is all just one big misunderstanding...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Is that so? Hmm. Then it seems I allowed myself to be fooled by hearsay.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I apologize for acting rashly before I fully understood the situation.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, it didn't really hurt, so I guess... Anyway, I'm just glad we got it cleared up.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} There's nothing special between Cleo or Elisanne and myself. We're just friends.<br /> {{ST|Cleo &amp; Elisanne}} ...?!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Hmph. Is that so?<br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Nothing...special...? I...I see...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Did the temperature just drop...?<br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Whatever do you mean? This is how people act when there is nothing special between them.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Indeed. We are nothing more than friends, after all.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I am so confused right now...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Now I understand... You are a villain!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Oh, come on!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It would be remiss of me to let you out of my sight even for a moment.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} So I will stay here and make certain you do not do anything untoward!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I have no idea what's happening here...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But I feel like I just got myself into some major trouble.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode2Title=A Preacher's Responsibility<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hyaaah!

That.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, don't worry about it. It's not like your doubting me did any lasting harm.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But the whole reason you came here was to watch over me, right?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} True.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} If you don't need to do so anymore, does that mean you're going to leave?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I...<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Hey, there's our teacher! Reverend Esteeeelle!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Children!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Whatcha doin', Reverend? ...Oooo! Are you on a daaaate?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Silence! I will hear no more of this foolishness!<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Ha ha ha! You're in trouuuble!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Run awaaay!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What was that about you being their teacher?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Wherever there is a shortage of teachers, preachers must step in to help the children with their studies.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} A teacher, eh? Hmm...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Do you have a problem with that?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Not at all. I think it suits you.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} W-well... Anyway, back to what we were discussing...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} You mean about you leaving?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} What? You're leaving, Reverend?!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Noooo! You can't leeeave!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Calm down, children. I'm not going anywhere.<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Really?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Yes. Really.<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Yaaaaay!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Are you sure you want to stay, Estelle?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Leaving now would be tantamount to abandoning these children.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} A preacher cannot be so irresponsible.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, that's good.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} The children aren't the only ones who would be sad if you left, you know? I would be, too.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Y...you...?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Revereeeeend! Your face is soooo red!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Estelle and Euden, sittin' in a tree! K-I-S—<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} STOP THAT THIS INSTANT!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You really are a villain, Euden!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} This calls for the Loving Hand!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What?! Why?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Take THIS!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode3Title=Pranked<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|???}} Gaaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What was that scream?! ...Huh?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What's this bug cage doing here?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Euden?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Estelle? What's wrong?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Don't give me that! Was it you?! Were you the one that threw bugs into my room?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Why would I do something like that?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Hngggh...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What are you staring at...? Oh! The cage?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Look, it was just sitting here. I don't know where it came from, I swear.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ......<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I know it sounds like I'm making up excuses, but it... I... Um...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} A-are you gonna...?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...No. Now that I think about it, you really have no reason to act in such a manner.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Oh, good. Um...sorry?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Why? It isn't as if you have anything to apologize for. ...Riiight?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} True, but I...just felt like I should say it.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} *sigh* You are a strange one. Sometimes your kindness gets the better of you.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Is that so? Um, ha ha...<br /> {{ST|???}} Over heeere!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Huh? I think someone's calling me.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Wh-what the—?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Why is there a laundry bucket here? Tsk! The floor's all wet. I better hurry and mop this up...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah, Estelle! Be careful!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Huh? Aaaaaahhh!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Owww... For Ilia's sake, why is the floor covered in suds?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Sorry! But it wasn't me! Or... Well, I guess it was, actually.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hmmm...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I know that you are not the kind of person to do this as some sort of prank...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} But still, I would appreciate a bit more consideration! People could slip and hurt themselves, you know.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Uh...yeah. Sorry...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Thanks for helping me organize this room, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You are most welcome. I must say, though, it's rather odd for royalty to engage in tasks like this.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Whether a person is royalty or not doesn't matter much around here. Now then, it should be riiight baaack...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} This room is certainly...＂cozy.＂ And dusty. And full of all sorts of strange things.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Gah! What happened to the lights?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Gaaah! Oh, Goddess!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Estelle! Estelle, are you okay?! Aahhh!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What the—! Gaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Owww... S-sorry, Estelle... Something caught my leg...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I-it's fine... But could...could you just move, maybe?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah—right!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Phew... That was terrible...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I should be the one saying that!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah! Sorry...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Honestly, will your tomfoolery never end?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I-I'm sorry! But I don't mean to—<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Not you. ...You might as well come out! I know you're there!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Huh?<br /> {{ST|Child}} Heh, guess you found me...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What?! When did this kid get in here?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You realize you've been the target of all those pranks, right? Well, you're looking at the culprit.<br /> {{ST|Child}} Hey! You just ratted me out!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Of course, I would never allow you to get away with such behavior! You've earned yourself a Loving Hand!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} There!<br /> {{ST|Child}} Ha ha! That doesn't even hurt!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Then as FURTHER punishment, you are going to clean the church from tip to toe!<br /> {{ST|Child}} Whaaat?! Ugh... Fiiine...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} For Ilia's sake, I hope this will teach him a lesson.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hey, Estelle? Could you do that to me, too?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What? But those pranks weren't your fault...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Still, I made you upset, didn't I?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I think I'd feel like I made it up to you that way.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Well... If you insist...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...There.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Thanks. Now I feel less guilty.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Well, that's good. ...Although very strange.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The Loving Hand is supposed to make people reflect on their actions, and yet you feel absolved...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Heh. Well, this is a special case.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} It's only your Loving Hand that could make me feel like that.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh... Well... Thank you...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} (Only...mine...?)<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode4Title=The Loving Hand's Power<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Ilia teaches that love tolerates all things, is compassionate, never grows envious...<br /> {{ST|Villager A}} ......<br /> {{ST|Villager B}} ......<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...endures all things, believes in all things, hopes for all things...<br /> {{ST|Village Chief}} Thank you so much, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Village Chief}} Everyone in the village rejoiced in receiving the word of Ilia.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Not at all. I am a preacher; it is the least that I could do.<br /> {{ST|Village Chief}} We look forward to your next sermon.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm glad to hear that. I am still studying, but I hope my passion will make up for my inexperience.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Phew...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} That was great, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Euden?! Were you listening?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I sure was. The villagers were hanging on your every word!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Still, you must think I'm not really cut out for this kind of work...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Not at all. Though it is a side of you I'm not really used to seeing.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} That's nice, but I have a long way to go until I reach the level I want to be at.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What level is that?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Well, the reason I wanted to become a preacher was because that's what my grandmother did.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} When I was little, I was always getting into trouble.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Really? Heh. I never would've guessed, but I can kind of see it...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} My grandmother was the kindest woman I'd ever met.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} She hardly ever scolded me for being such a mischief-maker.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...Until the day I pulled a truly awful prank.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What happened?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I hurt someone.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Oh. What did your grandmother do?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} She disciplined me—for the first time in my life.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Let me guess: the Loving Hand?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Yes. I remember it as if it were yesterday...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It hurt so much.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Er, but I thought the point of the Loving Hand was that it DOESN'T hurt.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The pain I felt was not physical.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It was an ache deep in my chest.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The very same anguish that I had inflicted on my grandmother.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} So the Loving Hand conveys the pain in a person's heart?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Exactly! The Loving Hand is not supposed to hurt; rather, it is supposed to make someone understand the emotional pain that YOU feel.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} That's kind of incredible.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Isn't it?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Seeing you talk about your grandmother with such love makes me understand how wonderful she was.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh! N-now I'm embarrassed...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} There's nothing to be embarrassed about.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} No, it's just... I have a bad habit of letting my emotions get the better of me.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I rely on the Loving Hand far too much.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But that's not a bad thing, is it?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It is unacceptable behavior for a preacher to engage in, Loving Hand or no.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I ought to be kind and compassionate, not let my temper get the better of me!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, that may be the right thing to do as a preacher...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But I like you just the way you are. I know you're trying the best you can.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Wh-what are you saying?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Take THIS!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Augh! I'm so sorry! See, I just do it without thinking!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ha ha! That's okay. It's just who you are.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} And everyone loves you for who you are.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Y-you... You really are a villain!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode5Title=Care to Do the Honors?<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} *sigh* What do I do...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Is something wrong, Estelle? You look upset.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh, Euden... Well, it's the children...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} The ones you're teaching, you mean?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Yes. Day in and day out, they keep pulling pranks—and they're getting worse.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Kids don't really know where to draw the line, do they?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Those children ought to know better!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Between my constant warnings and the Loving Hand, you'd think they'd have learned by now.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Maybe I'm just not able to get anything across to them after all.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Estelle, I—<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Huh?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What was that sound?! Let's go see...<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Oh no, oh no! What should we dooo?<br /> {{ST|Child B}} What CAN we do? It's EVERYWHERE!<br /> {{ST|Child C}} All the ingredients and dishes are all messed up!<br /> {{ST|Child D}} We're gonna get in trouble again...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What are you doing?!<br /> {{ST|Children}} Eeep!<br /> {{ST|Child A}} It's not what it looks like, Reverend! R-right, everyone?<br /> {{ST|Child C}} R-right! Yeah! We were just... Ummm...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I have had it up to here with you! You've gone too far this time!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Let go of my arm, Euden!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} At least listen to what they have to say, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} You're a preacher, right? That means, first and foremost, you talk.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm sorry!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Wait, Estelle!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ......<br /> {{ST|Euden}} So this is where you went... I was really worried when you ran off like that.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Leave me alone.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Okay, if that's what you want.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...You were right.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hmm?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm a preacher. I should have resorted to words before anything else.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm...I'm a failure!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} There was no way I was ever going to be as good of a preacher as my grandmother!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I don't think that's true.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But if you don't believe me, why not ask them?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Who?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Reverend...?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Children...<br /> {{ST|Child D}} Um...here.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Is this...cake?<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Yeah. Everyone helped bake it. We hope you like it...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You made this...for me?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Daddy always says that presents help people feel better, so...<br /> {{ST|Child B}} We just wanted you to feel better.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh...<br /> {{ST|Child C}} We tried really hard, but we kinda messed up baking it.<br /> {{ST|Child D}} Sorry it didn't turn out that w-well... *sniffle* Waaaahhh!<br /> {{ST|Child A, B, and C}} We're sorryyyyy! Waaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh, my dear children...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} See? They know you're doing your best.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} You're getting through to them more than you think.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Maybe you're not exactly like your grandmother, but I still think you make a fine preacher.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Th...thank you.<br /> {{ST|Child B}} *sniffle* S-sorry, Reverend.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Don't be. It's I who should apologize to all of you.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I am so sorry I never realized how hard you all were trying.<br /> {{ST|Child D}} Y-you aren't gonna...?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Of course not! I am the one at fault.<br /> {{ST|Child A}} So, if it's your fault, does that mean...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What? Oh. I suppose so.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Would you mind, Euden?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Wh-why me?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You were so worried about us, it seems only fitting.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Please.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} All right. But promise us something. Me and the kids.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Promise you'll never give up trying to be the best preacher—and teacher—that you can be.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Of course!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Good. Right then, here goes...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} ...There.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}</div>

Which is strange, because it SOUNDED like it should have done some serious damage.<br /> {{ST|???}} The Loving Hand is not meant to hurt!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Interesting...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Look, can we maybe talk about why a strange lady just walked up and slapped me in the face?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} My name is Estelle. I am a preacher.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} As an advocate for the teachings of the Church, I can't allow your wretched behavior to go unpunished!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} The heck did I do?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} There is no shortage of rumors with you at their core...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} One of which claims that you surround yourself with young women in that castle of yours and engage in all manner of... of...of indecencies!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} WHAT?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} And now I see you with my own eyes, flanked on either side by women fair!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} What exactly are you implying?<br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I-indeed! Wh-whatever you think our... r-relationship is, you are quite mistaken!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} She's right. This is all just one big misunderstanding...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Is that so? Hmm. Then it seems I allowed myself to be fooled by hearsay.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I apologize for acting rashly before I fully understood the situation.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, it didn't really hurt, so I guess... Anyway, I'm just glad we got it cleared up.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} There's nothing special between Cleo or Elisanne and myself. We're just friends.<br /> {{ST|Cleo &amp; Elisanne}} ...?!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Hmph. Is that so?<br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Nothing...special...? I...I see...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Did the temperature just drop...?<br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Whatever do you mean? This is how people act when there is nothing special between them.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Indeed. We are nothing more than friends, after all.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I am so confused right now...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Now I understand... You are a villain!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Oh, come on!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It would be remiss of me to let you out of my sight even for a moment.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} So I will stay here and make certain you do not do anything untoward!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I have no idea what's happening here...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But I feel like I just got myself into some major trouble.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode2Title=A Preacher's Responsibility<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hyaaah! Hah!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ......<br /> {{ST|Euden}} *pant* *pant* Phew...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Do you train that hard every day?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} It's the only way I'll get stronger.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...It seems I owe you an apology.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What for?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The more I watch you, the more I come to see you for who you really are.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You are an honest, hardworking, and beloved man.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm sorry I ever doubted your integrity.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah. That.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, don't worry about it. It's not like your doubting me did any lasting harm.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But the whole reason you came here was to watch over me, right?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} True.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} If you don't need to do so anymore, does that mean you're going to leave?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I...<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Hey, there's our teacher! Reverend Esteeeelle!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Children!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Whatcha doin', Reverend? ...Oooo! Are you on a daaaate?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Silence! I will hear no more of this foolishness!<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Ha ha ha! You're in trouuuble!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Run awaaay!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What was that about you being their teacher?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Wherever there is a shortage of teachers, preachers must step in to help the children with their studies.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} A teacher, eh? Hmm...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Do you have a problem with that?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Not at all. I think it suits you.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} W-well... Anyway, back to what we were discussing...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} You mean about you leaving?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} What? You're leaving, Reverend?!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Noooo! You can't leeeave!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Calm down, children. I'm not going anywhere.<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Really?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Yes. Really.<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Yaaaaay!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Are you sure you want to stay, Estelle?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Leaving now would be tantamount to abandoning these children.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} A preacher cannot be so irresponsible.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, that's good.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} The children aren't the only ones who would be sad if you left, you know? I would be, too.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Y...you...?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Revereeeeend! Your face is soooo red!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Estelle and Euden, sittin' in a tree! K-I-S—<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} STOP THAT THIS INSTANT!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You really are a villain, Euden!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} This calls for the Loving Hand!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What?! Why?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Take THIS!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode3Title=Pranked<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|???}} Gaaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What was that scream?! ...Huh?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What's this bug cage doing here?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Euden?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Estelle? What's wrong?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Don't give me that! Was it you?! Were you the one that threw bugs into my room?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Why would I do something like that?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Hngggh...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What are you staring at...? Oh! The cage?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Look, it was just sitting here. I don't know where it came from, I swear.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ......<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I know it sounds like I'm making up excuses, but it... I... Um...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} A-are you gonna...?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...No. Now that I think about it, you really have no reason to act in such a manner.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Oh, good. Um...sorry?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Why? It isn't as if you have anything to apologize for. ...Riiight?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} True, but I...just felt like I should say it.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} *sigh* You are a strange one. Sometimes your kindness gets the better of you.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Is that so? Um, ha ha...<br /> {{ST|???}} Over heeere!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Huh? I think someone's calling me.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Wh-what the—?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Why is there a laundry bucket here? Tsk! The floor's all wet. I better hurry and mop this up...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah, Estelle! Be careful!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Huh? Aaaaaahhh!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Owww... For Ilia's sake, why is the floor covered in suds?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Sorry! But it wasn't me! Or... Well, I guess it was, actually.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hmmm...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I know that you are not the kind of person to do this as some sort of prank...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} But still, I would appreciate a bit more consideration! People could slip and hurt themselves, you know.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Uh...yeah. Sorry...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Thanks for helping me organize this room, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You are most welcome. I must say, though, it's rather odd for royalty to engage in tasks like this.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Whether a person is royalty or not doesn't matter much around here. Now then, it should be riiight baaack...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} This room is certainly...＂cozy.＂ And dusty. And full of all sorts of strange things.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Gah! What happened to the lights?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Gaaah! Oh, Goddess!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Estelle! Estelle, are you okay?! Aahhh!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What the—! Gaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Owww... S-sorry, Estelle... Something caught my leg...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I-it's fine... But could...could you just move, maybe?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah—right!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Phew... That was terrible...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I should be the one saying that!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah! Sorry...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Honestly, will your tomfoolery never end?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I-I'm sorry! But I don't mean to—<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Not you. ...You might as well come out! I know you're there!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Huh?<br /> {{ST|Child}} Heh, guess you found me...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What?! When did this kid get in here?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You realize you've been the target of all those pranks, right? Well, you're looking at the culprit.<br /> {{ST|Child}} Hey! You just ratted me out!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Of course, I would never allow you to get away with such behavior! You've earned yourself a Loving Hand!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} There!<br /> {{ST|Child}} Ha ha! That doesn't even hurt!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Then as FURTHER punishment, you are going to clean the church from tip to toe!<br /> {{ST|Child}} Whaaat?! Ugh... Fiiine...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} For Ilia's sake, I hope this will teach him a lesson.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hey, Estelle? Could you do that to me, too?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What? But those pranks weren't your fault...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Still, I made you upset, didn't I?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I think I'd feel like I made it up to you that way.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Well... If you insist...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...There.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Thanks. Now I feel less guilty.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Well, that's good. ...Although very strange.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The Loving Hand is supposed to make people reflect on their actions, and yet you feel absolved...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Heh. Well, this is a special case.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} It's only your Loving Hand that could make me feel like that.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh... Well... Thank you...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} (Only...mine...?)<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode4Title=The Loving Hand's Power<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Ilia teaches that love tolerates all things, is compassionate, never grows envious...<br /> {{ST|Villager A}} ......<br /> {{ST|Villager B}} ......<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...endures all things, believes in all things, hopes for all things...<br /> {{ST|Village Chief}} Thank you so much, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Village Chief}} Everyone in the village rejoiced in receiving the word of Ilia.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Not at all. I am a preacher; it is the least that I could do.<br /> {{ST|Village Chief}} We look forward to your next sermon.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm glad to hear that. I am still studying, but I hope my passion will make up for my inexperience.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Phew...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} That was great, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Euden?! Were you listening?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I sure was. The villagers were hanging on your every word!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Still, you must think I'm not really cut out for this kind of work...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Not at all. Though it is a side of you I'm not really used to seeing.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} That's nice, but I have a long way to go until I reach the level I want to be at.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What level is that?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Well, the reason I wanted to become a preacher was because that's what my grandmother did.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} When I was little, I was always getting into trouble.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Really? Heh. I never would've guessed, but I can kind of see it...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} My grandmother was the kindest woman I'd ever met.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} She hardly ever scolded me for being such a mischief-maker.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...Until the day I pulled a truly awful prank.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What happened?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I hurt someone.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Oh. What did your grandmother do?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} She disciplined me—for the first time in my life.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Let me guess: the Loving Hand?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Yes. I remember it as if it were yesterday...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It hurt so much.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Er, but I thought the point of the Loving Hand was that it DOESN'T hurt.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The pain I felt was not physical.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It was an ache deep in my chest.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The very same anguish that I had inflicted on my grandmother.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} So the Loving Hand conveys the pain in a person's heart?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Exactly! The Loving Hand is not supposed to hurt; rather, it is supposed to make someone understand the emotional pain that YOU feel.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} That's kind of incredible.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Isn't it?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Seeing you talk about your grandmother with such love makes me understand how wonderful she was.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh! N-now I'm embarrassed...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} There's nothing to be embarrassed about.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} No, it's just... I have a bad habit of letting my emotions get the better of me.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I rely on the Loving Hand far too much.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But that's not a bad thing, is it?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It is unacceptable behavior for a preacher to engage in, Loving Hand or no.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I ought to be kind and compassionate, not let my temper get the better of me!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, that may be the right thing to do as a preacher...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But I like you just the way you are. I know you're trying the best you can.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Wh-what are you saying?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Take THIS!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Augh! I'm so sorry! See, I just do it without thinking!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ha ha! That's okay. It's just who you are.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} And everyone loves you for who you are.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Y-you... You really are a villain!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode5Title=Care to Do the Honors?<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} *sigh* What do I do...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Is something wrong, Estelle? You look upset.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh, Euden... Well, it's the children...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} The ones you're teaching, you mean?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Yes. Day in and day out, they keep pulling pranks—and they're getting worse.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Kids don't really know where to draw the line, do they?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Those children ought to know better!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Between my constant warnings and the Loving Hand, you'd think they'd have learned by now.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Maybe I'm just not able to get anything across to them after all.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Estelle, I—<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Huh?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What was that sound?! Let's go see...<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Oh no, oh no! What should we dooo?<br /> {{ST|Child B}} What CAN we do? It's EVERYWHERE!<br /> {{ST|Child C}} All the ingredients and dishes are all messed up!<br /> {{ST|Child D}} We're gonna get in trouble again...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What are you doing?!<br /> {{ST|Children}} Eeep!<br /> {{ST|Child A}} It's not what it looks like, Reverend! R-right, everyone?<br /> {{ST|Child C}} R-right! Yeah! We were just... Ummm...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I have had it up to here with you! You've gone too far this time!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Let go of my arm, Euden!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} At least listen to what they have to say, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} You're a preacher, right? That means, first and foremost, you talk.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm sorry!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Wait, Estelle!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ......<br /> {{ST|Euden}} So this is where you went... I was really worried when you ran off like that.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Leave me alone.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Okay, if that's what you want.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...You were right.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hmm?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm a preacher. I should have resorted to words before anything else.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm...I'm a failure!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} There was no way I was ever going to be as good of a preacher as my grandmother!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I don't think that's true.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But if you don't believe me, why not ask them?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Who?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Reverend...?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Children...<br /> {{ST|Child D}} Um...here.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Is this...cake?<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Yeah. Everyone helped bake it. We hope you like it...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You made this...for me?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Daddy always says that presents help people feel better, so...<br /> {{ST|Child B}} We just wanted you to feel better.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh...<br /> {{ST|Child C}} We tried really hard, but we kinda messed up baking it.<br /> {{ST|Child D}} Sorry it didn't turn out that w-well... *sniffle* Waaaahhh!<br /> {{ST|Child A, B, and C}} We're sorryyyyy! Waaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh, my dear children...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} See? They know you're doing your best.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} You're getting through to them more than you think.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Maybe you're not exactly like your grandmother, but I still think you make a fine preacher.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Th...thank you.<br /> {{ST|Child B}} *sniffle* S-sorry, Reverend.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Don't be. It's I who should apologize to all of you.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I am so sorry I never realized how hard you all were trying.<br /> {{ST|Child D}} Y-you aren't gonna...?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Of course not! I am the one at fault.<br /> {{ST|Child A}} So, if it's your fault, does that mean...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What? Oh. I suppose so.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Would you mind, Euden?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Wh-why me?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You were so worried about us, it seems only fitting.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Please.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} All right. But promise us something. Me and the kids.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Promise you'll never give up trying to be the best preacher—and teacher—that you can be.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Of course!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Good. Right then, here goes...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} ...There.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}</div>

This calls for the Loving Hand!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Sorry, did you just say the Loving Ha—<br /> {{ST|???}} Take this!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Gya! ...Huh?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} That...didn't hurt at all.

Hah!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ......<br /> {{ST|Euden}} *pant* *pant* Phew...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Do you train that hard every day?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} It's the only way I'll get stronger.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...It seems I owe you an apology.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What for?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The more I watch you, the more I come to see you for who you really are.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You are an honest, hardworking, and beloved man.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm sorry I ever doubted your integrity.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah. That.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, don't worry about it. It's not like your doubting me did any lasting harm.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But the whole reason you came here was to watch over me, right?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} True.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} If you don't need to do so anymore, does that mean you're going to leave?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I...<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Hey, there's our teacher! Reverend Esteeeelle!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Children!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Whatcha doin', Reverend? ...Oooo! Are you on a daaaate?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Silence! I will hear no more of this foolishness!<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Ha ha ha! You're in trouuuble!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Run awaaay!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What was that about you being their teacher?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Wherever there is a shortage of teachers, preachers must step in to help the children with their studies.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} A teacher, eh? Hmm...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Do you have a problem with that?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Not at all. I think it suits you.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} W-well... Anyway, back to what we were discussing...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} You mean about you leaving?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} What? You're leaving, Reverend?!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Noooo! You can't leeeave!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Calm down, children. I'm not going anywhere.<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Really?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Yes. Really.<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Yaaaaay!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Are you sure you want to stay, Estelle?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Leaving now would be tantamount to abandoning these children.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} A preacher cannot be so irresponsible.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, that's good.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} The children aren't the only ones who would be sad if you left, you know? I would be, too.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Y...you...?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Revereeeeend! Your face is soooo red!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Estelle and Euden, sittin' in a tree! K-I-S—<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} STOP THAT THIS INSTANT!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You really are a villain, Euden!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} This calls for the Loving Hand!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What?! Why?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Take THIS!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode3Title=Pranked<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|???}} Gaaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What was that scream?! ...Huh?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What's this bug cage doing here?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Euden?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Estelle? What's wrong?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Don't give me that! Was it you?! Were you the one that threw bugs into my room?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Why would I do something like that?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Hngggh...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What are you staring at...? Oh! The cage?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Look, it was just sitting here. I don't know where it came from, I swear.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ......<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I know it sounds like I'm making up excuses, but it... I... Um...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} A-are you gonna...?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...No. Now that I think about it, you really have no reason to act in such a manner.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Oh, good. Um...sorry?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Why? It isn't as if you have anything to apologize for. ...Riiight?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} True, but I...just felt like I should say it.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} *sigh* You are a strange one. Sometimes your kindness gets the better of you.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Is that so? Um, ha ha...<br /> {{ST|???}} Over heeere!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Huh? I think someone's calling me.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Wh-what the—?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Why is there a laundry bucket here? Tsk! The floor's all wet. I better hurry and mop this up...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah, Estelle! Be careful!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Huh? Aaaaaahhh!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Owww... For Ilia's sake, why is the floor covered in suds?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Sorry! But it wasn't me! Or... Well, I guess it was, actually.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hmmm...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I know that you are not the kind of person to do this as some sort of prank...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} But still, I would appreciate a bit more consideration! People could slip and hurt themselves, you know.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Uh...yeah. Sorry...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Thanks for helping me organize this room, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You are most welcome. I must say, though, it's rather odd for royalty to engage in tasks like this.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Whether a person is royalty or not doesn't matter much around here. Now then, it should be riiight baaack...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} This room is certainly...＂cozy.＂ And dusty. And full of all sorts of strange things.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Gah! What happened to the lights?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Gaaah! Oh, Goddess!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Estelle! Estelle, are you okay?! Aahhh!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What the—! Gaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Owww... S-sorry, Estelle... Something caught my leg...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I-it's fine... But could...could you just move, maybe?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah—right!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Phew... That was terrible...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I should be the one saying that!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah! Sorry...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Honestly, will your tomfoolery never end?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I-I'm sorry! But I don't mean to—<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Not you. ...You might as well come out! I know you're there!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Huh?<br /> {{ST|Child}} Heh, guess you found me...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What?! When did this kid get in here?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You realize you've been the target of all those pranks, right? Well, you're looking at the culprit.<br /> {{ST|Child}} Hey! You just ratted me out!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Of course, I would never allow you to get away with such behavior! You've earned yourself a Loving Hand!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} There!<br /> {{ST|Child}} Ha ha! That doesn't even hurt!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Then as FURTHER punishment, you are going to clean the church from tip to toe!<br /> {{ST|Child}} Whaaat?! Ugh... Fiiine...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} For Ilia's sake, I hope this will teach him a lesson.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hey, Estelle? Could you do that to me, too?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What? But those pranks weren't your fault...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Still, I made you upset, didn't I?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I think I'd feel like I made it up to you that way.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Well... If you insist...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...There.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Thanks. Now I feel less guilty.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Well, that's good. ...Although very strange.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The Loving Hand is supposed to make people reflect on their actions, and yet you feel absolved...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Heh. Well, this is a special case.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} It's only your Loving Hand that could make me feel like that.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh... Well... Thank you...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} (Only...mine...?)<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode4Title=The Loving Hand's Power<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Ilia teaches that love tolerates all things, is compassionate, never grows envious...<br /> {{ST|Villager A}} ......<br /> {{ST|Villager B}} ......<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...endures all things, believes in all things, hopes for all things...<br /> {{ST|Village Chief}} Thank you so much, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Village Chief}} Everyone in the village rejoiced in receiving the word of Ilia.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Not at all. I am a preacher; it is the least that I could do.<br /> {{ST|Village Chief}} We look forward to your next sermon.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm glad to hear that. I am still studying, but I hope my passion will make up for my inexperience.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Phew...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} That was great, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Euden?! Were you listening?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I sure was. The villagers were hanging on your every word!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Still, you must think I'm not really cut out for this kind of work...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Not at all. Though it is a side of you I'm not really used to seeing.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} That's nice, but I have a long way to go until I reach the level I want to be at.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What level is that?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Well, the reason I wanted to become a preacher was because that's what my grandmother did.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} When I was little, I was always getting into trouble.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Really? Heh. I never would've guessed, but I can kind of see it...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} My grandmother was the kindest woman I'd ever met.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} She hardly ever scolded me for being such a mischief-maker.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...Until the day I pulled a truly awful prank.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What happened?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I hurt someone.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Oh. What did your grandmother do?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} She disciplined me—for the first time in my life.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Let me guess: the Loving Hand?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Yes. I remember it as if it were yesterday...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It hurt so much.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Er, but I thought the point of the Loving Hand was that it DOESN'T hurt.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The pain I felt was not physical.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It was an ache deep in my chest.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The very same anguish that I had inflicted on my grandmother.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} So the Loving Hand conveys the pain in a person's heart?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Exactly! The Loving Hand is not supposed to hurt; rather, it is supposed to make someone understand the emotional pain that YOU feel.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} That's kind of incredible.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Isn't it?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Seeing you talk about your grandmother with such love makes me understand how wonderful she was.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh! N-now I'm embarrassed...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} There's nothing to be embarrassed about.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} No, it's just... I have a bad habit of letting my emotions get the better of me.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I rely on the Loving Hand far too much.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But that's not a bad thing, is it?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It is unacceptable behavior for a preacher to engage in, Loving Hand or no.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I ought to be kind and compassionate, not let my temper get the better of me!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, that may be the right thing to do as a preacher...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But I like you just the way you are. I know you're trying the best you can.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Wh-what are you saying?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Take THIS!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Augh! I'm so sorry! See, I just do it without thinking!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ha ha! That's okay. It's just who you are.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} And everyone loves you for who you are.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Y-you... You really are a villain!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode5Title=Care to Do the Honors?<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} *sigh* What do I do...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Is something wrong, Estelle? You look upset.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh, Euden... Well, it's the children...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} The ones you're teaching, you mean?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Yes. Day in and day out, they keep pulling pranks—and they're getting worse.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Kids don't really know where to draw the line, do they?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Those children ought to know better!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Between my constant warnings and the Loving Hand, you'd think they'd have learned by now.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Maybe I'm just not able to get anything across to them after all.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Estelle, I—<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Huh?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What was that sound?! Let's go see...<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Oh no, oh no! What should we dooo?<br /> {{ST|Child B}} What CAN we do? It's EVERYWHERE!<br /> {{ST|Child C}} All the ingredients and dishes are all messed up!<br /> {{ST|Child D}} We're gonna get in trouble again...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What are you doing?!<br /> {{ST|Children}} Eeep!<br /> {{ST|Child A}} It's not what it looks like, Reverend! R-right, everyone?<br /> {{ST|Child C}} R-right! Yeah! We were just... Ummm...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I have had it up to here with you! You've gone too far this time!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Let go of my arm, Euden!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} At least listen to what they have to say, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} You're a preacher, right? That means, first and foremost, you talk.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm sorry!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Wait, Estelle!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ......<br /> {{ST|Euden}} So this is where you went... I was really worried when you ran off like that.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Leave me alone.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Okay, if that's what you want.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...You were right.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hmm?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm a preacher. I should have resorted to words before anything else.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm...I'm a failure!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} There was no way I was ever going to be as good of a preacher as my grandmother!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I don't think that's true.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But if you don't believe me, why not ask them?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Who?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Reverend...?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Children...<br /> {{ST|Child D}} Um...here.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Is this...cake?<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Yeah. Everyone helped bake it. We hope you like it...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You made this...for me?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Daddy always says that presents help people feel better, so...<br /> {{ST|Child B}} We just wanted you to feel better.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh...<br /> {{ST|Child C}} We tried really hard, but we kinda messed up baking it.<br /> {{ST|Child D}} Sorry it didn't turn out that w-well... *sniffle* Waaaahhh!<br /> {{ST|Child A, B, and C}} We're sorryyyyy! Waaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh, my dear children...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} See? They know you're doing your best.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} You're getting through to them more than you think.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Maybe you're not exactly like your grandmother, but I still think you make a fine preacher.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Th...thank you.<br /> {{ST|Child B}} *sniffle* S-sorry, Reverend.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Don't be. It's I who should apologize to all of you.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I am so sorry I never realized how hard you all were trying.<br /> {{ST|Child D}} Y-you aren't gonna...?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Of course not! I am the one at fault.<br /> {{ST|Child A}} So, if it's your fault, does that mean...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What? Oh. I suppose so.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Would you mind, Euden?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Wh-why me?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You were so worried about us, it seems only fitting.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Please.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} All right. But promise us something. Me and the kids.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Promise you'll never give up trying to be the best preacher—and teacher—that you can be.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Of course!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Good. Right then, here goes...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} ...There.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}</div>

Are you Euden?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Yes, that's me. Why do you ask?<br /> {{ST|???}} And you are accompanied by two women...<br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Er, and what does that have to do with anything?<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} ...?<br /> {{ST|???}} Then it seems the rumors were true...<br /> {{ST|???}} You beast! This calls for the Loving Hand!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Sorry, did you just say the Loving Ha—<br /> {{ST|???}} Take this!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Gya! ...Huh?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} That...didn't hurt at all. Which is strange, because it SOUNDED like it should have done some serious damage.<br /> {{ST|???}} The Loving Hand is not meant to hurt!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Interesting...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Look, can we maybe talk about why a strange lady just walked up and slapped me in the face?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} My name is Estelle. I am a preacher.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} As an advocate for the teachings of the Church, I can't allow your wretched behavior to go unpunished!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} The heck did I do?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} There is no shortage of rumors with you at their core...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} One of which claims that you surround yourself with young women in that castle of yours and engage in all manner of... of...of indecencies!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} WHAT?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} And now I see you with my own eyes, flanked on either side by women fair!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} What exactly are you implying?<br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I-indeed! Wh-whatever you think our... r-relationship is, you are quite mistaken!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} She's right. This is all just one big misunderstanding...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Is that so? Hmm. Then it seems I allowed myself to be fooled by hearsay.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I apologize for acting rashly before I fully understood the situation.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, it didn't really hurt, so I guess... Anyway, I'm just glad we got it cleared up.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} There's nothing special between Cleo or Elisanne and myself. We're just friends.<br /> {{ST|Cleo &amp; Elisanne}} ...?!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Hmph. Is that so?<br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Nothing...special...? I...I see...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Did the temperature just drop...?<br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Whatever do you mean? This is how people act when there is nothing special between them.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Indeed. We are nothing more than friends, after all.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I am so confused right now...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Now I understand... You are a villain!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Oh, come on!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It would be remiss of me to let you out of my sight even for a moment.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} So I will stay here and make certain you do not do anything untoward!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I have no idea what's happening here...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But I feel like I just got myself into some major trouble.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode2Title=A Preacher's Responsibility<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hyaaah!

That.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, don't worry about it. It's not like your doubting me did any lasting harm.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But the whole reason you came here was to watch over me, right?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} True.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} If you don't need to do so anymore, does that mean you're going to leave?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I...<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Hey, there's our teacher! Reverend Esteeeelle!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Children!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Whatcha doin', Reverend? ...Oooo! Are you on a daaaate?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Silence! I will hear no more of this foolishness!<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Ha ha ha! You're in trouuuble!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Run awaaay!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What was that about you being their teacher?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Wherever there is a shortage of teachers, preachers must step in to help the children with their studies.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} A teacher, eh? Hmm...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Do you have a problem with that?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Not at all. I think it suits you.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} W-well... Anyway, back to what we were discussing...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} You mean about you leaving?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} What? You're leaving, Reverend?!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Noooo! You can't leeeave!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Calm down, children. I'm not going anywhere.<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Really?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Yes. Really.<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Yaaaaay!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Are you sure you want to stay, Estelle?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Leaving now would be tantamount to abandoning these children.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} A preacher cannot be so irresponsible.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, that's good.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} The children aren't the only ones who would be sad if you left, you know? I would be, too.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Y...you...?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Revereeeeend! Your face is soooo red!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Estelle and Euden, sittin' in a tree! K-I-S—<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} STOP THAT THIS INSTANT!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You really are a villain, Euden!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} This calls for the Loving Hand!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What?! Why?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Take THIS!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode3Title=Pranked<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|???}} Gaaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What was that scream?! ...Huh?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What's this bug cage doing here?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Euden?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Estelle? What's wrong?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Don't give me that! Was it you?! Were you the one that threw bugs into my room?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Why would I do something like that?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Hngggh...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What are you staring at...? Oh! The cage?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Look, it was just sitting here. I don't know where it came from, I swear.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ......<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I know it sounds like I'm making up excuses, but it... I... Um...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} A-are you gonna...?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...No. Now that I think about it, you really have no reason to act in such a manner.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Oh, good. Um...sorry?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Why? It isn't as if you have anything to apologize for. ...Riiight?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} True, but I...just felt like I should say it.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} *sigh* You are a strange one. Sometimes your kindness gets the better of you.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Is that so? Um, ha ha...<br /> {{ST|???}} Over heeere!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Huh? I think someone's calling me.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Wh-what the—?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Why is there a laundry bucket here? Tsk! The floor's all wet. I better hurry and mop this up...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah, Estelle! Be careful!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Huh? Aaaaaahhh!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Owww... For Ilia's sake, why is the floor covered in suds?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Sorry! But it wasn't me! Or... Well, I guess it was, actually.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hmmm...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I know that you are not the kind of person to do this as some sort of prank...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} But still, I would appreciate a bit more consideration! People could slip and hurt themselves, you know.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Uh...yeah. Sorry...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Thanks for helping me organize this room, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You are most welcome. I must say, though, it's rather odd for royalty to engage in tasks like this.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Whether a person is royalty or not doesn't matter much around here. Now then, it should be riiight baaack...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} This room is certainly...＂cozy.＂ And dusty. And full of all sorts of strange things.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Gah! What happened to the lights?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Gaaah! Oh, Goddess!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Estelle! Estelle, are you okay?! Aahhh!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What the—! Gaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Owww... S-sorry, Estelle... Something caught my leg...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I-it's fine... But could...could you just move, maybe?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah—right!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Phew... That was terrible...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I should be the one saying that!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah! Sorry...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Honestly, will your tomfoolery never end?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I-I'm sorry! But I don't mean to—<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Not you. ...You might as well come out! I know you're there!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Huh?<br /> {{ST|Child}} Heh, guess you found me...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What?! When did this kid get in here?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You realize you've been the target of all those pranks, right? Well, you're looking at the culprit.<br /> {{ST|Child}} Hey! You just ratted me out!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Of course, I would never allow you to get away with such behavior! You've earned yourself a Loving Hand!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} There!<br /> {{ST|Child}} Ha ha! That doesn't even hurt!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Then as FURTHER punishment, you are going to clean the church from tip to toe!<br /> {{ST|Child}} Whaaat?! Ugh... Fiiine...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} For Ilia's sake, I hope this will teach him a lesson.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hey, Estelle? Could you do that to me, too?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What? But those pranks weren't your fault...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Still, I made you upset, didn't I?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I think I'd feel like I made it up to you that way.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Well... If you insist...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...There.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Thanks. Now I feel less guilty.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Well, that's good. ...Although very strange.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The Loving Hand is supposed to make people reflect on their actions, and yet you feel absolved...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Heh. Well, this is a special case.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} It's only your Loving Hand that could make me feel like that.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh... Well... Thank you...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} (Only...mine...?)<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode4Title=The Loving Hand's Power<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Ilia teaches that love tolerates all things, is compassionate, never grows envious...<br /> {{ST|Villager A}} ......<br /> {{ST|Villager B}} ......<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...endures all things, believes in all things, hopes for all things...<br /> {{ST|Village Chief}} Thank you so much, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Village Chief}} Everyone in the village rejoiced in receiving the word of Ilia.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Not at all. I am a preacher; it is the least that I could do.<br /> {{ST|Village Chief}} We look forward to your next sermon.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm glad to hear that. I am still studying, but I hope my passion will make up for my inexperience.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Phew...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} That was great, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Euden?! Were you listening?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I sure was. The villagers were hanging on your every word!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Still, you must think I'm not really cut out for this kind of work...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Not at all. Though it is a side of you I'm not really used to seeing.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} That's nice, but I have a long way to go until I reach the level I want to be at.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What level is that?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Well, the reason I wanted to become a preacher was because that's what my grandmother did.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} When I was little, I was always getting into trouble.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Really? Heh. I never would've guessed, but I can kind of see it...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} My grandmother was the kindest woman I'd ever met.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} She hardly ever scolded me for being such a mischief-maker.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...Until the day I pulled a truly awful prank.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What happened?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I hurt someone.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Oh. What did your grandmother do?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} She disciplined me—for the first time in my life.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Let me guess: the Loving Hand?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Yes. I remember it as if it were yesterday...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It hurt so much.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Er, but I thought the point of the Loving Hand was that it DOESN'T hurt.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The pain I felt was not physical.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It was an ache deep in my chest.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The very same anguish that I had inflicted on my grandmother.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} So the Loving Hand conveys the pain in a person's heart?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Exactly! The Loving Hand is not supposed to hurt; rather, it is supposed to make someone understand the emotional pain that YOU feel.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} That's kind of incredible.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Isn't it?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Seeing you talk about your grandmother with such love makes me understand how wonderful she was.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh! N-now I'm embarrassed...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} There's nothing to be embarrassed about.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} No, it's just... I have a bad habit of letting my emotions get the better of me.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I rely on the Loving Hand far too much.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But that's not a bad thing, is it?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It is unacceptable behavior for a preacher to engage in, Loving Hand or no.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I ought to be kind and compassionate, not let my temper get the better of me!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, that may be the right thing to do as a preacher...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But I like you just the way you are. I know you're trying the best you can.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Wh-what are you saying?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Take THIS!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Augh! I'm so sorry! See, I just do it without thinking!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ha ha! That's okay. It's just who you are.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} And everyone loves you for who you are.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Y-you... You really are a villain!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode5Title=Care to Do the Honors?<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} *sigh* What do I do...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Is something wrong, Estelle? You look upset.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh, Euden... Well, it's the children...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} The ones you're teaching, you mean?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Yes. Day in and day out, they keep pulling pranks—and they're getting worse.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Kids don't really know where to draw the line, do they?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Those children ought to know better!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Between my constant warnings and the Loving Hand, you'd think they'd have learned by now.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Maybe I'm just not able to get anything across to them after all.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Estelle, I—<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Huh?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What was that sound?! Let's go see...<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Oh no, oh no! What should we dooo?<br /> {{ST|Child B}} What CAN we do? It's EVERYWHERE!<br /> {{ST|Child C}} All the ingredients and dishes are all messed up!<br /> {{ST|Child D}} We're gonna get in trouble again...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What are you doing?!<br /> {{ST|Children}} Eeep!<br /> {{ST|Child A}} It's not what it looks like, Reverend! R-right, everyone?<br /> {{ST|Child C}} R-right! Yeah! We were just... Ummm...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I have had it up to here with you! You've gone too far this time!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Let go of my arm, Euden!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} At least listen to what they have to say, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} You're a preacher, right? That means, first and foremost, you talk.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm sorry!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Wait, Estelle!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ......<br /> {{ST|Euden}} So this is where you went... I was really worried when you ran off like that.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Leave me alone.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Okay, if that's what you want.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...You were right.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hmm?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm a preacher. I should have resorted to words before anything else.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm...I'm a failure!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} There was no way I was ever going to be as good of a preacher as my grandmother!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I don't think that's true.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But if you don't believe me, why not ask them?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Who?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Reverend...?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Children...<br /> {{ST|Child D}} Um...here.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Is this...cake?<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Yeah. Everyone helped bake it. We hope you like it...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You made this...for me?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Daddy always says that presents help people feel better, so...<br /> {{ST|Child B}} We just wanted you to feel better.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh...<br /> {{ST|Child C}} We tried really hard, but we kinda messed up baking it.<br /> {{ST|Child D}} Sorry it didn't turn out that w-well... *sniffle* Waaaahhh!<br /> {{ST|Child A, B, and C}} We're sorryyyyy! Waaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh, my dear children...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} See? They know you're doing your best.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} You're getting through to them more than you think.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Maybe you're not exactly like your grandmother, but I still think you make a fine preacher.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Th...thank you.<br /> {{ST|Child B}} *sniffle* S-sorry, Reverend.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Don't be. It's I who should apologize to all of you.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I am so sorry I never realized how hard you all were trying.<br /> {{ST|Child D}} Y-you aren't gonna...?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Of course not! I am the one at fault.<br /> {{ST|Child A}} So, if it's your fault, does that mean...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What? Oh. I suppose so.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Would you mind, Euden?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Wh-why me?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You were so worried about us, it seems only fitting.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Please.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} All right. But promise us something. Me and the kids.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Promise you'll never give up trying to be the best preacher—and teacher—that you can be.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Of course!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Good. Right then, here goes...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} ...There.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}</div>

Are you Euden?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Yes, that's me. Why do you ask?<br /> {{ST|???}} And you are accompanied by two women...<br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Er, and what does that have to do with anything?<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} ...?<br /> {{ST|???}} Then it seems the rumors were true...<br /> {{ST|???}} You beast! This calls for the Loving Hand!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Sorry, did you just say the Loving Ha—<br /> {{ST|???}} Take this!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Gya! ...Huh?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} That...didn't hurt at all. Which is strange, because it SOUNDED like it should have done some serious damage.<br /> {{ST|???}} The Loving Hand is not meant to hurt!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Interesting...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Look, can we maybe talk about why a strange lady just walked up and slapped me in the face?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} My name is Estelle. I am a preacher.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} As an advocate for the teachings of the Church, I can't allow your wretched behavior to go unpunished!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} The heck did I do?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} There is no shortage of rumors with you at their core...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} One of which claims that you surround yourself with young women in that castle of yours and engage in all manner of... of...of indecencies!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} WHAT?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} And now I see you with my own eyes, flanked on either side by women fair!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} What exactly are you implying?<br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} I-indeed! Wh-whatever you think our... r-relationship is, you are quite mistaken!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} She's right. This is all just one big misunderstanding...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Is that so? Hmm. Then it seems I allowed myself to be fooled by hearsay.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I apologize for acting rashly before I fully understood the situation.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, it didn't really hurt, so I guess... Anyway, I'm just glad we got it cleared up.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} There's nothing special between Cleo or Elisanne and myself. We're just friends.<br /> {{ST|Cleo &amp; Elisanne}} ...?!<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Hmph. Is that so?<br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Nothing...special...? I...I see...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Did the temperature just drop...?<br /> {{ST|Elisanne}} Whatever do you mean? This is how people act when there is nothing special between them.<br /> {{ST|Cleo}} Indeed. We are nothing more than friends, after all.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I am so confused right now...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Now I understand... You are a villain!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Oh, come on!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It would be remiss of me to let you out of my sight even for a moment.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} So I will stay here and make certain you do not do anything untoward!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I have no idea what's happening here...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But I feel like I just got myself into some major trouble.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode2Title=A Preacher's Responsibility<br /> |episode2Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hyaaah! Hah!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ......<br /> {{ST|Euden}} *pant* *pant* Phew...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Do you train that hard every day?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} It's the only way I'll get stronger.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...It seems I owe you an apology.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What for?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The more I watch you, the more I come to see you for who you really are.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You are an honest, hardworking, and beloved man.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm sorry I ever doubted your integrity.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah. That.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, don't worry about it. It's not like your doubting me did any lasting harm.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But the whole reason you came here was to watch over me, right?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} True.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} If you don't need to do so anymore, does that mean you're going to leave?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I...<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Hey, there's our teacher! Reverend Esteeeelle!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Children!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Whatcha doin', Reverend? ...Oooo! Are you on a daaaate?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Silence! I will hear no more of this foolishness!<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Ha ha ha! You're in trouuuble!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Run awaaay!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What was that about you being their teacher?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Wherever there is a shortage of teachers, preachers must step in to help the children with their studies.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} A teacher, eh? Hmm...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Do you have a problem with that?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Not at all. I think it suits you.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} W-well... Anyway, back to what we were discussing...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} You mean about you leaving?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} What? You're leaving, Reverend?!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Noooo! You can't leeeave!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Calm down, children. I'm not going anywhere.<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Really?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Yes. Really.<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Yaaaaay!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Are you sure you want to stay, Estelle?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Leaving now would be tantamount to abandoning these children.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} A preacher cannot be so irresponsible.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, that's good.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} The children aren't the only ones who would be sad if you left, you know? I would be, too.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Y...you...?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Revereeeeend! Your face is soooo red!<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Estelle and Euden, sittin' in a tree! K-I-S—<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} STOP THAT THIS INSTANT!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You really are a villain, Euden!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} This calls for the Loving Hand!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What?! Why?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Take THIS!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode3Title=Pranked<br /> |episode3Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|???}} Gaaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What was that scream?! ...Huh?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What's this bug cage doing here?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Euden?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Estelle? What's wrong?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Don't give me that! Was it you?! Were you the one that threw bugs into my room?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Why would I do something like that?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Hngggh...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What are you staring at...? Oh! The cage?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Look, it was just sitting here. I don't know where it came from, I swear.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ......<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I know it sounds like I'm making up excuses, but it... I... Um...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} A-are you gonna...?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...No. Now that I think about it, you really have no reason to act in such a manner.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Oh, good. Um...sorry?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Why? It isn't as if you have anything to apologize for. ...Riiight?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} True, but I...just felt like I should say it.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} *sigh* You are a strange one. Sometimes your kindness gets the better of you.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Is that so? Um, ha ha...<br /> {{ST|???}} Over heeere!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Huh? I think someone's calling me.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Wh-what the—?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Why is there a laundry bucket here? Tsk! The floor's all wet. I better hurry and mop this up...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah, Estelle! Be careful!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Huh? Aaaaaahhh!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Owww... For Ilia's sake, why is the floor covered in suds?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Sorry! But it wasn't me! Or... Well, I guess it was, actually.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hmmm...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I know that you are not the kind of person to do this as some sort of prank...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} But still, I would appreciate a bit more consideration! People could slip and hurt themselves, you know.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Uh...yeah. Sorry...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Thanks for helping me organize this room, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You are most welcome. I must say, though, it's rather odd for royalty to engage in tasks like this.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Whether a person is royalty or not doesn't matter much around here. Now then, it should be riiight baaack...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} This room is certainly...＂cozy.＂ And dusty. And full of all sorts of strange things.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Gah! What happened to the lights?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Gaaah! Oh, Goddess!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Estelle! Estelle, are you okay?! Aahhh!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What the—! Gaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Owww... S-sorry, Estelle... Something caught my leg...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I-it's fine... But could...could you just move, maybe?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah—right!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Phew... That was terrible...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I should be the one saying that!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ah! Sorry...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Honestly, will your tomfoolery never end?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I-I'm sorry! But I don't mean to—<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Not you. ...You might as well come out! I know you're there!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Huh?<br /> {{ST|Child}} Heh, guess you found me...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What?! When did this kid get in here?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You realize you've been the target of all those pranks, right? Well, you're looking at the culprit.<br /> {{ST|Child}} Hey! You just ratted me out!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Of course, I would never allow you to get away with such behavior! You've earned yourself a Loving Hand!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} There!<br /> {{ST|Child}} Ha ha! That doesn't even hurt!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Then as FURTHER punishment, you are going to clean the church from tip to toe!<br /> {{ST|Child}} Whaaat?! Ugh... Fiiine...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} For Ilia's sake, I hope this will teach him a lesson.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hey, Estelle? Could you do that to me, too?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What? But those pranks weren't your fault...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Still, I made you upset, didn't I?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I think I'd feel like I made it up to you that way.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Well... If you insist...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...There.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Thanks. Now I feel less guilty.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Well, that's good. ...Although very strange.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The Loving Hand is supposed to make people reflect on their actions, and yet you feel absolved...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Heh. Well, this is a special case.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} It's only your Loving Hand that could make me feel like that.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh... Well... Thank you...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} (Only...mine...?)<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode4Title=The Loving Hand's Power<br /> |episode4Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Ilia teaches that love tolerates all things, is compassionate, never grows envious...<br /> {{ST|Villager A}} ......<br /> {{ST|Villager B}} ......<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...endures all things, believes in all things, hopes for all things...<br /> {{ST|Village Chief}} Thank you so much, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Village Chief}} Everyone in the village rejoiced in receiving the word of Ilia.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Not at all. I am a preacher; it is the least that I could do.<br /> {{ST|Village Chief}} We look forward to your next sermon.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm glad to hear that. I am still studying, but I hope my passion will make up for my inexperience.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Phew...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} That was great, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Euden?! Were you listening?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I sure was. The villagers were hanging on your every word!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Still, you must think I'm not really cut out for this kind of work...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Not at all. Though it is a side of you I'm not really used to seeing.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} That's nice, but I have a long way to go until I reach the level I want to be at.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What level is that?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Well, the reason I wanted to become a preacher was because that's what my grandmother did.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} When I was little, I was always getting into trouble.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Really? Heh. I never would've guessed, but I can kind of see it...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} My grandmother was the kindest woman I'd ever met.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} She hardly ever scolded me for being such a mischief-maker.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...Until the day I pulled a truly awful prank.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What happened?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I hurt someone.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Oh. What did your grandmother do?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} She disciplined me—for the first time in my life.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Let me guess: the Loving Hand?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Yes. I remember it as if it were yesterday...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It hurt so much.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Er, but I thought the point of the Loving Hand was that it DOESN'T hurt.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The pain I felt was not physical.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It was an ache deep in my chest.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} The very same anguish that I had inflicted on my grandmother.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} So the Loving Hand conveys the pain in a person's heart?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Exactly! The Loving Hand is not supposed to hurt; rather, it is supposed to make someone understand the emotional pain that YOU feel.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} That's kind of incredible.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Isn't it?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Seeing you talk about your grandmother with such love makes me understand how wonderful she was.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh! N-now I'm embarrassed...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} There's nothing to be embarrassed about.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} No, it's just... I have a bad habit of letting my emotions get the better of me.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I rely on the Loving Hand far too much.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But that's not a bad thing, is it?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} It is unacceptable behavior for a preacher to engage in, Loving Hand or no.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I ought to be kind and compassionate, not let my temper get the better of me!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Well, that may be the right thing to do as a preacher...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But I like you just the way you are. I know you're trying the best you can.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Wh-what are you saying?!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Take THIS!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Augh! I'm so sorry! See, I just do it without thinking!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Ha ha! That's okay. It's just who you are.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} And everyone loves you for who you are.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Y-you... You really are a villain!<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |episode5Title=Care to Do the Honors?<br /> |episode5Content=&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} *sigh* What do I do...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Is something wrong, Estelle? You look upset.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh, Euden... Well, it's the children...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} The ones you're teaching, you mean?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Yes. Day in and day out, they keep pulling pranks—and they're getting worse.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Kids don't really know where to draw the line, do they?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Those children ought to know better!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Between my constant warnings and the Loving Hand, you'd think they'd have learned by now.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Maybe I'm just not able to get anything across to them after all.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Estelle, I—<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Huh?!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} What was that sound?! Let's go see...<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Oh no, oh no! What should we dooo?<br /> {{ST|Child B}} What CAN we do? It's EVERYWHERE!<br /> {{ST|Child C}} All the ingredients and dishes are all messed up!<br /> {{ST|Child D}} We're gonna get in trouble again...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What are you doing?!<br /> {{ST|Children}} Eeep!<br /> {{ST|Child A}} It's not what it looks like, Reverend! R-right, everyone?<br /> {{ST|Child C}} R-right! Yeah! We were just... Ummm...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I have had it up to here with you! You've gone too far this time!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Let go of my arm, Euden!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} At least listen to what they have to say, Estelle.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} You're a preacher, right? That means, first and foremost, you talk.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm sorry!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Wait, Estelle!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ......<br /> {{ST|Euden}} So this is where you went... I was really worried when you ran off like that.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Leave me alone.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Okay, if that's what you want.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} ...You were right.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Hmm?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm a preacher. I should have resorted to words before anything else.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I'm...I'm a failure!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} There was no way I was ever going to be as good of a preacher as my grandmother!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} I don't think that's true.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} But if you don't believe me, why not ask them?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Who?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Reverend...?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Children...<br /> {{ST|Child D}} Um...here.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Is this...cake?<br /> {{ST|Child B}} Yeah. Everyone helped bake it. We hope you like it...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You made this...for me?<br /> {{ST|Child A}} Daddy always says that presents help people feel better, so...<br /> {{ST|Child B}} We just wanted you to feel better.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh...<br /> {{ST|Child C}} We tried really hard, but we kinda messed up baking it.<br /> {{ST|Child D}} Sorry it didn't turn out that w-well... *sniffle* Waaaahhh!<br /> {{ST|Child A, B, and C}} We're sorryyyyy! Waaaaah!<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Oh, my dear children...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} See? They know you're doing your best.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} You're getting through to them more than you think.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Maybe you're not exactly like your grandmother, but I still think you make a fine preacher.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Th...thank you.<br /> {{ST|Child B}} *sniffle* S-sorry, Reverend.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Don't be. It's I who should apologize to all of you.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} I am so sorry I never realized how hard you all were trying.<br /> {{ST|Child D}} Y-you aren't gonna...?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Of course not! I am the one at fault.<br /> {{ST|Child A}} So, if it's your fault, does that mean...<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} What? Oh. I suppose so.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Would you mind, Euden?<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Wh-why me?<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} You were so worried about us, it seems only fitting.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Please.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} All right. But promise us something. Me and the kids.<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Promise you'll never give up trying to be the best preacher—and teacher—that you can be.<br /> {{ST|Estelle}} Of course!<br /> {{ST|Euden}} Good. Right then, here goes...<br /> {{ST|Euden}} ...There.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> }}</div>
