Part 2: Chapter 1-2: Errands and Envy

Part 1-2: Errands and Envy



Off we go!


The Neighbors, the Nun and the Blacksmith

That’s right. We’re off to deliver some items.



We aren’t an odd job store! We’re an Atelier! An Alchemy Atelier!

Haha, sure thing, Atelier, whatever you say. Good luck with it, anyway!

Just be careful of your health! I’ll bring you something nice again soon!

Hehe, great! We’ll be looking forward to it!

The neighbors leave.

Nice, something tasty to look forward to. But for now, we’ve got clients waiting on us! We need to head to Sea-view Hill and Soleil Street. Make the deliveries, get paid, and then sleep like a log! Gaaah, you’ll pay for this, dummy-daddy!

We’ll be going to the church on Sea-view Hill first.


Music: Escaping the Crowds

So for us, that’s south to the Garden of Merk…



…And up the hill…


Music: A Small Prayer

And we made it! Sister Grace! We’re here with a delivery!


Those of you who’ve played Sophie and/or Firis may recognize Grace’s surname. But enough of that for the time being.

Ah, thank you for coming. I thought I placed this order with Roger, though?

Hahaha, sorry about that. We ended up making it for him.

Ah, again? What a deadbeat… I mean, with the grace of God, I gratefully accept your hard work.



Here you go, Sister Grace!

Thank you so much. I can tell how hard you must have worked on this. You both have bags under your eyes, after all!

Ah! Hahaha. I guess we should have at least splashed some water on our faces.

My dear children, thank you for your hard work. Here is your payment.

100 Coll received.

Once you’ve finished work, make sure to take a good long rest. Do you hear me?

We will. Thank you, Sister Grace.

Good girls. Be careful on your way home.

The twins leave the church.

Next up is the blacksmith. He’s on Soleil Street, so that’s back the way we came but on the other side of the garden from our atelier on Lune Street.



Hello! Hagel, we have a delivery for you!


Music: Unendurable Eccentricity (Lydie & Suelle Ver.)

Uwaaah! S-S-Sorry, d-d-d-delivery for…

Hagel, please. Don’t scare Lydie like that!

Oh, it’s just you girls! Sorry about that, I didn’t mean to frighten you.



No need to apologize. I do it to myself, honestly. You placed an order with our father, right?

We’re here to deliver it for him. We worked pretty hard on this for you!

Oh, then I can’t wait to try it out. Show me what you’ve got, girls!


Music: Hum While You Work

Hey, this is really well made! Especially when compared to the last one! I mean…

Ah, hahahaha! Please, forget about that one.

Hahaha, consider it forgotten! This will be more than enough. Here’s your reward.

100 Coll received.

Thank you so much! Hehe, look at this money!

You’ve been a big help, girls. I’ll call on you again if I need anything else.


The Proud Atelier and the Twins’ Jealousy
Music: That Looks Like Fun!

You too, Lydie. Do you think we’ll be able to eat tomorrow?

I think so, but just a little more would be nice. 400 Coll isn’t much to work with…

Why don’t we take a look at the Notice Board in the plaza on the way home?

Not a bad idea. I just hope there’s something easy that pays big.

Off we go! It’s at the north end of the street!





With all those customers I bet they eat like royals every night.

I’d be more shocked if they didn’t! Sure, I’m jealous of the number of their customers too, but it won’t be that way forever. I mean…

I know. Our atelier will give them a run for their money soon enough!



Yes, next! Oh! Lydie and Sue! Hello, you two! What are you doing here…

Hey! No cutting! It’s my turn next!

Butt out, gramps! I was next in line!

Uwah, hold on! Stop pushing, please, form an orderly queue! Hey, hands off!

Hey, Sue, did you hear something?

Nah, I don’t think I did. Now back to business…



Right then… What kind of jobs are there on offer?

Fighting monsters nearby? That’s too tough for us. Finding a pet Puni? The reward is too small.

Hmm, slim pickings. Most of the alchemy work goes to Borthayre. Ah well. Let’s give up on finding work for now. I’ll make the money work, somehow.

Sounds like a great idea. I’m almost too tired to move. Let’s head back home, please?



We’ve earned the R&R, after doing dummy-daddy’s syntheses and running all over town doing his deliveries for him!



Ah, welcome back. You took long enough.

Dad? You’re synthesizing? I thought you were painting down in the basement?

Hahaha! I started painting and it gave me a recipe idea. So I switched to experimenting at once!

Ah, I see. What it is to have such a carefree father. Nothing changes, anyway. Dad, we need some sleep. Just try to keep it down, will you?

Sure thing. Rest well, both of you. Good night.

The twins go to bed. But before they fall asleep…
Music: The Road Home

Phew. I can’t help thinking about all those people at Borthayre.

I know. The greatest atelier in the kingdom. Totally different from our own little atelier. Tell me, Sue. Do you really think we can take the title of the greatest for ourselves?

Hey, come on! Don’t start getting cold feet now.



I know. You’re right. I’m just so hungry, I lost my resolve for a moment. We’ve got plenty of hard work again tomorrow, in order to keep our promises to Mom. To run the greatest atelier, together, as a family… Let’s hope Dad pulls his weight in honoring that promise.

You say that, but since when could we rely on him for anything?

Hahaha! Anyway… it’s been a long day. Good night, Sue.

Yeah. Good night, Lydie.
