Forename, let us waste no time in getting to work!

What stunning craftsmanship! Your talent is incredible─you are a star among stars!

You have my sincerest of thanks, Forename! Your efforts have saved me more trouble than you know.

In making your first successful delivery, you have begun to earn Jude's trust.
Deliver the items Jude needs, and deliver them often to improve your standing with the Faculty of Astronomy!
|
Cutscene start.
|
Thank you. Without your help, I'd have no hope of ever finishing the starlens.
|
Listen here, Jude. Today I'm going to show you how to make the most of what should be the best summers of your life!
Are you familiar with the concept of barbeques?
|
It is a culinary practice originating from the archipelagos off the coast of the New World. Various cuts of meat are thoroughly braised over the span of half a day.
Many of our peers prefer studying alone in dreary silence, but that is not so with the poetry club. We gather round the fire of the barbeque, discussing the finer points of literature, reciting poetry as we watch the meat smoke and sear.
Perhaps the flames that sear the meat will finally ignite a fire in your heart large enough to propel you into action. At long last, you will be able to declare your undying love for that homely, yet somehow still alluring girl! What do you say!?
|
Honestly, I do not know why you would come to me with such a proposal...
|
Join our poetry club, Jude. Just have one taste, and you'll realize exactly what you're missing out on!
|
Jeromere, you live boldly and elegantly. Unlike you, however, I am a solitary creature. Just the thought of eating across from another is enough to send chills down my spine!
|
Nonsense! Surely you at least take meals with your peers?
|
...You are my only friend.
|
I never learned how to make friends. They do not teach you that at school...
|
...
This is but further evidence you mustn't remain here, alone and isolated. I'll continue to visit until I get that through your thick head!
|
<sigh> Jeromere never fails to impress me.
He has so many friends who, unlike me, are all outgoing and full of cheer. He seems to be having so much fun...
If only I could be more like him...
|
What will you say?
You'll get there.
|
With a bit of effort, you can!
|
Get a hold of yourself!
|
You're right. Lamenting my situation will get me nowhere.
Chin up, Jude! If you're always looking down, you'll forget to look at the stars!
|
|
Eep! P-Please, if you could keep your voice down.
Chin up, Jude! If you're always looking down you'll forget to look at the stars!
|
|
What will you say?
Exactly.
|
Think you're witty, huh?
|
Thank you. I feel much better now.
|
|
It seems I am beyond help...
Thank you for that. However, perhaps I would not have needed comforting had your words not cut so deep. I am, after all, an extremely fragile creature.
|
|
That said, we still lack the necessary parts to complete the starlens.
I still have a few things to take care of, but you'll be hearing from me again before long.
Thanks to his encouragement, my heart which was as weak as a marmot has now grown a bit tougher─tough enough to match pudding!
|
Cutscene end.

Jude is pleased with your efforts. He now only considers you to be a Marginally Scary Individual!
The next request will be available from Jude upon reaching level 83 as a carpenter, leatherworker, or weaver.
