Hinata: HYA! HA!
(Hinata leaves)
Corrin: Hello, Hinata.
Hinata: Huh? Oh, Lord Corrin!
Corrin: You seem to be concentrating hard on your training today. I couldn't help but stop and watch.
Hinata: Thanks for the praise, Lord Corrin!
Corrin: I am a little surprised though. I didn't really expect to find you training so intently.
Hinata: What do you mean?
Corrin: Just that...I'd heard a rumor you were more a fan of relaxing than training... So, I admit I may have been biased...
Hinata: Ahaha... I see... I wonder who's spreading rumors about me... I'll just have to work my butt off to prove this rumormonger wrong!
Corrin: Work your butt off? Hopefully not literally... Anyway, is there a reason why you're training so hard?
Hinata: Um... Nope... No...reason... None at all.
Corrin: Hinata, you could not possibly have said that any less convincingly. You couldn't even make eye contact.
Hinata: There isn't! Really! Honest! Oh! Say, since you're here, why don't we have a sparring match? What do ya think?
Corrin: I accept your challenge!
Hinata: Hehe! That's the spirit! Go get your sword and come back here. First one to get a clean hit wins!
Corrin: I look forward to it!
B Support
Corrin: *pant* Almost there... Just...five more laps!
Hinata: Lord Corrin... Why are you running circles around the practice grounds?
Corrin: Hi, Hinata! After I lost to you, I decided I needed to work on my fitness.
Hinata: Oh! You mean our match the other day? I wiped the floor with you!
Corrin: Yes you did. I think there are a lot of reasons why, so I decided to address them. For starters, I'm going to improve my stamina by running laps!
Hinata: Ah, I see. So you're actually a pretty hard worker, too. I'm a little surprised.
Corrin: Really? Why?
Hinata: I'd heard that you spent most of your time in your chambers, when you were in Nohr. I guess I didn't think running would appeal to you, is all. But you were pretty agile in our match, and now you're running laps... Kinda funny how different you are than I first thought.
Corrin: Heehee. I'm glad you got a chance to see a different side of me.
Hinata: Me too! Can I join you for a few laps? Watching you has put me in a running mood, too!
Corrin: Oh! Certainly! I don't mind at all.
Hinata: Great! Let's race to see who's faster! Ready, set, go!
(Hinata leaves)'
Corrin: Huh? Just a...! Wait! Hinata!!
A Support
Corrin: Ya! Ha! Take...that!
Hinata: Huh! You're getting better! I can feel the strength behind your attacks! So...take this! HAA!
Corrin: Gah! Ha! That won't work this time! HAA!
Hinata: What the—?! Waaaah!
Corrin: Did...did I just land a clean hit?
Hinata: ...Yeah. You finally got me.
Corrin: Heehee. That's awesome!
Hinata: Haha... Guess this means we got some talking to do.
Corrin: Oh? Are you actually going to tell me why you're training so hard, then?
Hinata: The reason is...I'm working toward a goal.
Corrin: A goal?
Hinata: Yeah. It's Lord Takumi.
Corrin: My brother? What about him?
Hinata: See, I come from a long line of warriors who have served Hoshido. Even before I learned to walk, I learned to use a katana. I learned quick, too. I thought that being Lord Takumi's retainer would be easy, too, but...
Corrin: But what?
Hinata: One day, he challenged me to a match. The rules were the same as ours. He even selected the katana as our weapon, so we'd be on equal terms. He absolutely destroyed me.
Corrin: You lost that badly?
Hinata: My head was spinning, he beat me so fast. Everyone knows Lord Takumi is skilled with a bow, but he's just as good with a katana. I was so mad at myself for losing and for underestimating him. It was a big hit to my pride. How am I supposed to protect him, if he can beat me? What was I even doing there? So I swore I would become as strong as him. That's what drives me to train.
Corrin: Thanks for sharing your story, Hinata.
Hinata: Someday, I'll be stronger than him, and I'll prove to everyone that I can protect him. Him and everyone else in Hoshido!
Corrin: I'll be cheering you on, Hinata!
Hinata: Heehee, thanks. Coming from you, that gives me a lot of confidence in my work. I hope you'll continue to practice with me.
Corrin: Of course!

(Hinata leaves)
Corrin: Hello, Hinata.
Hinata: Huh? Oh, Lady Corrin!
Corrin: You seem to be concentrating hard on your training today. I couldn't help but stop and watch.
Hinata: Thanks for the praise, Lady Corrin!

Hinata: Hmm…
Corrin: Ah, there you are, Hinata!
Hinata: Gah!! Lady Corrin?!
Corrin: I'm sorry, Hinata! Is something wrong?
Hinata: Oh no, nothing's wrong. I just didn't expect you to appear like that!
Corrin: Oh, I see. You looked pretty stressed out about something, though... I'm more than happy to listen, if you want to talk about things.
Hinata: Oh, well if you're open to it, then... You see, I realized something recently!
Corrin: Oh? What was it you realized?
Hinata: Well, you're a princess, aren't you?
Corrin: I suppose I am, yes. Why do you ask?
Hinata: See, I knew it! I knew it and I completely forgot! How can I be so dumb? You'd think there would be a limit to how stupid one person could be...
Corrin: I...um... Sorry, Hinata, I don't understand what exactly is going on.
Hinata: We've been working hard in order to become stronger, but... It's supposed to be my duty to protect you. What if I'd accidentally hurt you when we were training?!
Corrin: That's just a risk of training, though... I don't think we'd ever actually be able to seriously injure each other, in any case.
Hinata: I know I'd never be able to hurt you! I mean, I might be able to actually defeat you in combat, but I really mean... Damn, this is not coming out right at all! Lady Corrin, I want to be the one to protect you from danger!
Corrin: That's very kind of you, Hinata. I'd say yes, but I'm sure Takumi would like to keep you as a retainer...
Hinata: I already asked him, actually! I knew he could appreciate the pairing of the strong samurai and lovely princess. After all, how could he say no when I told him I simply had to defend my beloved!
Corrin: Oh, Hinata, that... Hang on, what did you just say?
Hinata: Hrm? I said that I have to defend my beloved!
Corrin: Ahah! I didn't mishear you! You're calling me your beloved?
Hinata: Of course! I want to be the man by your side, protecting you from everything!
Corrin: And you say "the man" because...
Hinata: Because I'm in love with you, Lady Corrin!
Corrin: Ahhh!! I-I don't know what to say!
Hinata: Your face has turned really red, Lady Corrin... I'm not sure how to take that! Do your flushed cheeks mean I have a chance, or...
Corrin: They...might.
Hinata: Huh? What was that? I couldn't hear you. Could you say it again?
Corrin: No! You can figure it out yourself! Even you said there must be limits to how stupid one person can be!
(Corrin leaves)
Hinata: W-wait! Don't go!
(Confession Scene)
Hinata: Please don't ever go away! I really love you, you know? I will make sure to keep you safe! My one and only princess!

Felicia: *sigh*
Hinata: That was some sigh, Felicia. What's the matter?
Felicia: Ah, hello, Hinata. I was just washing some clothes, and I accidentally spilled dye on them. So I'm feeling a little bad about how incredibly clumsy I am.
Hinata: Don't let it worry you! Everyone makes mistakes now and then.
Felicia: I know, but if you failed as often as I do, you'd be sighing, too.
Hinata: Hmmm. Well, let's go do something to cheer you up!
Felicia: What do you have in mind? Remember that I'm clumsy...
Hinata: Well, I like to take practice swings with my sword. It feels good to just focus on form. Something like that, maybe?
Felicia: Ahhh, I see. So I should pick something I am already good at, then...
Hinata: Yes, exactly! Maybe some talent you're naturally inclined toward.
Felicia: Let me see... Oh! I can create a kind of chilling aura. It's cold enough to make icicles!
Hinata: Whoa, that's amazing! I've never heard of anyone who can do that.
Felicia: Heehee. Wow, just seeing your reaction improved my mood a bit.
Hinata: Awesome! Just remember my reaction whenever you're making ice. I bet it helps!
Felicia: Yes! I'll do just that!
B Support
Hinata: Ooh, brrrrrrr! Why is it so cold all of a sudden?
Felicia: Why, hello, Hinata!
Hinata: Felicia?! Don't tell me this chill is your doing.
Felicia: It is! You said I should try making icicles when I'm feeling down, remember? I decided to give it a shot after a mistake I made earlier, and it's working!
Hinata: I see...
Felicia: But look! I thought of something else to do to distract me!
Hinata: You're shaving off pieces of that ice mound?
Felicia: Yeah. I thought that I could maybe make something out of the ice...
Hinata: Oooh, that's really neat! It looks like it's starting to take shape. You did this all by carving? It's beautiful! I've never seen anything like it.
Felicia: R-really? I'm flattered...
Hinata: Of course! Is this one a dog? It looks like one...
Felicia: Hmph, no... It's a cat.
Hinata: Oh, really? Hrm. Well, what about this? It's a bear, isn't it?
Felicia: Exactly! That's my most recent one; I actually just finished it.
Hinata: Ahhh, now I can see your progression. You keep getting better and better as you go. Ya know, this looks pretty fun.
Felicia: Would you like to try? There's plenty of ice.
Hinata: Can I? That'd be awesome!
Felicia: Of course! Here, you can use these icicles over here.
Hinata: Thanks! I should warn you though—I'm pretty competitive. I'm going to try and carve a sculpture that rivals yours!
Felicia: In that case, consider us in competition to make the best one!
A Support
Felicia: Hinata! Hey, Hinata!
Hinata: Hey there, Felicia. You look pretty happy!
Felicia: That's because I am! After you and I finished our sculptures yesterday... <Lord/Lady> Corrin came by and praised them!
Hinata: That's great!
Felicia: It made me so happy! Up until now, I didn't think my power could bring happiness...
Hinata: Really? But your powers are amazing! And you're skilled at ice carving, too.
Felicia: Heehee, thanks. I've actually been practicing a lot in my free time. I can't wait to see what I make next!
Hinata: It seems like sculpting has really helped you, Felicia! You were just doing it to cheer up before, but now it seems like you've taken to it. When this war is over, you should open up a show of all your sculptures! I'm sure everyone would love to see a display of all the things you create.
Felicia: You really think it's something people would enjoy?
Hinata: I'm sure it is! <Lord/Lady> Corrin can't be the only person in camp with good taste! Isn't it exciting to think about?
Felicia: You know, you're right! It is neat to imagine doing that. I look forward to that day! And I have you to thank for that, Hinata.
Hinata: What do you mean? Your sculpting talent is all thanks to your powers!
Felicia: True, but it's because of you that I started sculpting in the first place.
Hinata: Really? Well then, you wouldn't mind competing some more? I still think I can carve something amazing. Even you'll be impressed!
Felicia: Let's do it!
S Support
Felicia: Hinata, take a look at this! I've made my largest sculpture yet!
Hinata: What are you talking... HOLY COW! Is that an ice dragon?! That's amazing!
Felicia: Heehee. Your praise for my work the other day motivated me to really push myself.
Hinata: B-but...that's huge! It's twice as big as I am!
Felicia: Heehee... What do you you think? Are you happy with it?
Hinata: Yeah...
Felicia: Hmmm? Hinata, is something the matter? You don't seem...all here.
Hinata: Oh, sorry. I...I guess I was just kind of lost in the sight.
Felicia: Of my ice dragon? I'm glad! I feel like I did a really, really good job with this one.
Hinata: Oh, no... I mean, the dragon is amazing, but I was fascinated by something else.
Felicia: What are you talking about?
Hinata: I mean that... Well, I find you very interesting. More than interesting, really...
Felicia: I don't understand...
Hinata: I'm in love with you, Felicia. Whenever I'm with you, no matter what we're doing, your happiness is infectious. I'm certain that is what it means to be in love.
Felicia: H-Hinata...
Hinata: I want to be there to support you whenever you're working hard at something. Whether you're safe or in danger, I want to be by your side! Felicia, what do you say? Do you feel the same about me?
Felicia: I...well... Oh gods, of course I do. I was just so surprised by your confession! But it makes me very happy to hear it.
Hinata: I'm so glad! I'll do my very best to make you the happiest woman ever!
Felicia: And I'll do the same for you!

C Support
Hinata: Hey, Lady Azura! Perfect timing! ...Here! Catch this!
Azura: Hello, Hinata. You know I'm not very good at catch. ...Oh, my! Whoa! Hmm. I'm confused. Did you really just toss a bag of vegetables at me?
Hinata: You got it! I picked up these bamboo shoots at the market.
Azura: I'm not sure why you're giving them to me, but I'll pass them on to the cook. Haven't we been eating these same veggies for weeks? Why would you buy more?
Hinata: Uh, they were having a sale. A really good sale! ...OK. Fine. The girl at the market was a super salesperson. She sold me on them.
Azura: I see. Apparently she was super cute too.
Hinata: Wow. How did you know? Lady Azura, can you read minds?
Azura: Goodness, no! It's written all over your face. At least they look fresh.
Hinata: Come on, Azura. I couldn't help it. If some hot chick tells you, "Please, sir, buy these veggies or my family will starve..." What are you gonna do? You buy the bamboo shoots, right?
Azura: I suppose if your wallet's full and your head's empty, that's exactly what you do.
Hinata: Aww, man! You're one tough cookie, Azura. Well, I'll see ya around...
(Hinata leaves)
Azura: Sometimes I worry about him.
B Support
Ruffian: Heh. Who knew discovering their secret hideout would be this easy?!
Hinata: Hey! You! What are you doing here?! You don't belong here!
Azura: Hinata, is something wrong? I thought I heard yelling. ...Oh! I know this girl.
Hinata: Yeah. She's the girl from the market! But why is she wearing a disguise?!
Azura: I remember you from Nohr. Your parents were nobles! Why are you spying on us?
Ruffian: Hmph! You'd never understand! I bet you've never had a hard day in your life!
Azura: Well, you're wrong about that. Did something happen to your parents? Are they all right? Let us help you. There's no need to spy on us!
Ruffian: Why would you help me? Did you forget how cruel I was to you back then?!
Azura: Of course not! But I won't hold it against you if your family is in trouble!
Ruffian: I would never accept help from you. I should've killed you when I had the chance.
Hinata: Whoa! Now you've gone too far! You're on our turf now. Besides, did you forget? I did you a favor yesterday!
Ruffian: By buying vegetables? Ha! You were such an easy mark! You led me directly to your hideout! Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got intel to report!
(Ruffian leaves)
Hinata: No! Wait! Get back here!
Azura: Hinata, let her go. It's too late. By now, she's already told them where we are.
Hinata: I can't believe I fell for her act! How stupid of me! I'm so sorry. I'm an idiot!
Azura: Don't be so hard on yourself. If you'll excuse me, I'll think of something...
(Azura leaves)
Hinata: Wait! Lady Azura? Where are you going?!
A Support
Azura: Hello, Hinata. What are you carrying there?
Hinata: This? It's a present! This time, I'll even hand it to you instead of tossing it.
Azura: How chivalrous of you! ...Are these bamboo shoots?! Didn't you learn your lesson?
Hinata: Of course I did! I bought these at a store from a hairy, old man. It wasn't a trap! You've looked so miserable since that incident with the girl. I thought you could use some antioxidants. Bamboo shoots are pretty good for that.
Azura: They're harvested up in the mountains of Hoshido, aren't they? No one has ever given me vegetables as a gift before, but thank you, Hinata.
Hinata: Aww. There's that cute smile I've been missing. This might be too personal to ask, but did that girl bully you when you were a kid?
Azura: Yes. I thought those memories were buried in the past. I feel bad for her situation now.
Hinata: But that's crazy! She deserves whatever she gets!
Azura: I'm not so sure about that. We should aim for peace...always.
Hinata: That is a noble thought, but I don't think we can ever really forget what's happened. You can't dwell on it, but you can't erase it from your memory either.
Azura: Hinata, that sounds very profound.
Hinata: Thanks! That was the best I could do on short notice.
Azura: Haha! You always know how to cheer me up, don't you?
Hinata: Well, I try! Now eat some of these veggies, and you'll be in tip-top shape in no time!
Azura: Thanks, Hinata. I will.
S Support
Hinata: Lady Azura, there you are!
Azura: Oh, my. What's happened to you, Hinata?! You're absolutely covered in mud! ...And are those bamboo shoots you're carrying again? You must have dozens!
Hinata: Sure do! I just got back from the mountains. I harvested a ton!
Azura: Goodness. You certainly did. But why didn't you just pick up some at the store?
Hinata: They only had a handful left, so I took matters into my own hands!
Azura: What will you do with all of them? Surely you're not planning to eat them all yourself!
Hinata: Of course not! I got these veggies for you!
Azura: For me?!
Hinata: Last time I gave you some veggies, you cracked a cute little smile. I thought to myself—I know! I'll get her even MORE veggies! Then she'll smile really big! So I got up super early and hiked to the mountains!
Azura: Wow, Hinata. That was very thoughtful of you.
Hinata: Well, that's the thing. I can't stop thinking about you, Lady Azura! Will you accept these tender, young bamboo shoots as a sign of my love?
Azura: I'm sorry. It sounded like you were proposing to me with a bag of vegetables.
Hinata: Yeah, it's not one of my better plans, but it's coming from the heart. We can save the official stuff for later. For now, will you be my girlfriend? Please!
Azura: Hinata, I'm touched...and a little shocked! Still, I really enjoy spending time with you. You always brighten my day.
Hinata: So is that a yes?
Azura: Yes! It's time I had more fun in my life.
Hinata: Then I will always be there for you...unless I'm off picking more vegetables, of course.
Azura: Hinata, about that...

Mozu: Now why in the heck is it like that...
Hinata: Hey, Mozu. What's the matter?
Mozu: Ah, Hinata. Perfect! I was gonna come find you. I have a question for ya.
Hinata: Glad to help! If I have the answer, I'll tell you whatever you need to know!
Mozu: Here, take a gander at this page. This is the logbook for food costs. When you're the one to go buy supplies...
Hinata: Oh wow, that's a pretty big number.
Mozu: Sure is, and you aren't even buying things all that expensive...
Hinata: That's strange. I'm going to the usual store, and I only buy what they suggest...
Mozu: Hang on, now. Who suggests these things to you?
Hinata: The store owner, of course! She's this really pretty lady who is always super helpful when I come in. She helps me find things I didn't even know the camp needed!
Mozu: *sigh* I'm guessing you buy all these things, no questions asked?
Hinata: Well, yeah...
Mozu: What a naive... How often are pretty women able to trick you?
Hinata: Trick me?! Oh no, she just wants to help me do what's best for the camp! There's no way she'd lie to me!
Mozu: That's a pretty bold thing to say about someone you hardly know!
Hinata: Anyway! Was there anything actually wrong with the things I bought?
Mozu: Well, no. But...
Hinata: See! No harm done. And my point still stands.
Mozu: I don't... *sigh* OK. The price is still bad, though. You need to at least haggle a bit...
Hinata: Haggle? Why do I need a haggle?
Mozu: What? Do you even know what haggling is? It means that you get the store to sell to you at a lower price.
Hinata: That's possible?! I thought you had to buy something for the price listed...
Mozu: That settles it, then. I'll be coming with you the next time you go shopping. I'll teach ya all my secrets to making the most of a trip!
Hinata: Oh, OK! That sounds good!
B Support
Mozu: So what do you think, Hinata? How'd that trip seem to go? Do you understand how to haggle, now that you've seen it in action?
Hinata: Well...
Mozu: Nothing to say? Do ya think my way of shopping is wrong?
Hinata: I was absolutely moved!
Mozu: Pardon?
Hinata:
Mozu, that was amazing! To think that haggling could make things so cheap! The way you handled that shopkeeper, I thought he'd sell his store to you! I've seen a completely different side of you.
Mozu: It's nothing that special... I just enjoy haggling is all.
Hinata: I need to give it a shot next time. You must teach me all the tricks you know!
Mozu: Lemme see... You must always remember to look at who you're haggling with, first off.
Hinata: That's easy! I'm always looking at a pretty shopkeeper.
Mozu: That's not what I mean at all. You need to look at their nature, not their appearance. Everyone has a unique personality, OK? Even shopkeepers. You have to match your haggling to their mood, or it'll go bad for sure. Some people will bend when you push hard, but others will buckle down. Some will give you a deal if you look indifferent to the whole experience... There are tons of types of people!
Hinata: So...how do I tell who is who?
Mozu: Well, there are a lot of different ways. For me, I like to ask lots of questions. How they answer them can tell me a lot about the person. You have to talk to them to figure them out—that's my point.
Hinata: I see. Well, that sounds like plenty of fun, even without haggling. But I'll try and combine talking to them and haggling next time!
Mozu: You're still only going to go to shops run by pretty women, aren't you...
Hinata: Of course! I refuse to budge on that.
Mozu: *sigh* Well, at least talking to someone you want to be talking to might help you. Good luck!
Hinata: Leave it to me!
A Support
Mozu: Hey there, Hinata! I noticed that your shopping trip was a ton less expensive than normal!
Hinata: I know! I went and haggled for each and every item! I couldn't get the prices down as low as you could, though... Eventually the shopkeeper just said "this is just the price it has to be." She was a lovely girl, and I just couldn't say no to her at that point...
Mozu: She is a merchant, after all. She's had a bit of experience haggling, I'd bet.
Hinata: Experience? I never thought of it like that... Heheheh...
Mozu: Hey, why are ya laughing?
Hinata: Just...talking about experience reminds me of the battlefield. Haggling or fighting—it all comes down to being able to read your opponent.
Mozu: Putting it that way, they are pretty similar, aren't they?
Hinata: And if they are, then you're a master of haggling, just like I'm a master fighter. Master Haggler, please teach me more of the ways of your art!
Mozu: Hey, s-stop it! I'm no master!
Hinata: No need to be so humble! Just one lesson from you really helped me out! You have to keep teaching me about haggling!
Mozu: I suppose if you want to learn that much…
S Support
Hinata: Hi, Mozu. Do you have a minute?
Mozu: What do ya need, Hinata? Wait a sec, let me guess—you're planning on going shopping somewhere?
Hinata: No, that's not it. Ever since you told me to watch people so I could learn to haggle with them... I've started to look at everyone with a new perspective.
Mozu: Everyone? Not the pretty shopkeepers?
Hinata: Well, of course still the pretty shopkeepers. But also other people. A pretty woman in particular, actually.
Mozu: Hah, of course. You can't really change that much, can ya?
Hinata: I've changed some, I think. And it's really thanks to you! And that's why I wanted to ask you something...
Mozu: Well, if it's something I can do, I'm happy to help ya.
Hinata: You're the only one who could help, really. Can we go out together? Be together?
Mozu: Wha... Huh... Wa... Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! Wh-wh-where did this come from?!
Hinata: I said so before—you taught me to look at people differently.
Mozu: I thought you were talking about a pretty shopkeeper!
Hinata: No, I'm talking about a pretty haggle master! Mozu, after you taught me about haggling, I realized I'd been looking at you wrong. You really opened my eyes. I want to be with you for as long as you'll have me.
Mozu: I don't know what to say...
Hinata: You mean... You don't want to be with me?
Mozu: Oh no, not that at all! From our first shopping trip together, I thought that I wanted to be with you. I couldn't tell if you felt the same way, no matter how hard I tried.
Hinata: But now you know! We can go forward together now, can't we?
Mozu: Yes! Yes, of course!
Hinata: I'm so happy, Mozu. You're the prettiest woman I've ever seen.
Mozu: *blush* Thank you, Hinata. You're very handsome yourself.

Hinata: Ha! Hai-ya!
Rinkah: Hrm.
Hinata: Oh, Rinkah, did you need something?
Rinkah: No, I'm all right.
Hinata: But...you were watching me, weren't you?
Rinkah: Not you, no. I was examining your fighting style. The way you wield your katana...
Hinata: Oh yeah; it's pretty amazing, isn't it?
Rinkah: What's amazing is how you're still alive if that's your actual fighting style.
Hinata: Is that...a compliment? I can't be sure.
Rinkah: You may take it however you'd like.
Hinata: Awesome! Then thank you! It's always great to hear nice things.
Rinkah: Nothing really brings you down, huh...?
Hinata: Not if I can help it. Hey, got time to go a few rounds?
Rinkah: Excuse me?
Hinata: You're curious about my fighting style, yeah? I'd be happy to cross blades with you and show you how it works.
Rinkah: I'd...rather not involve myself with you any more than is needed.
Hinata: Pfft, and here I thought I'd found a good sparring partner.
Rinkah: Hrm. In that case, I accept your challenge!
Hinata: Wait, what?! I don't understand... You Flame Tribe people are a confusing bunch... But, if you really do accept, then I am ready for you anytime!
Rinkah: How about now? The sooner I beat you to a pulp, the sooner I can be on my way.
Hinata: Hah, let's find out if you're all talk. Here I come!
Rinkah: Bring it on!
B Support
Hinata: Phew... You're pretty quick, Rinkah. Training with you is exhausting. I can tell you put some serious effort into your training.
Rinkah: I could feel the power behind your blows, as well. It was...unexpected. I'm certain your blows would have no trouble shattering the strongest armor.
Hinata: Is that why you were careful to parry them, rather than meet them head-on? Speaking of which, did you memorize my moves so you could counter them?
Rinkah: Don't say it like that. I was just intrigued by your style. If I picked up a few tricks... All I'll say is, your style is rare to me, so I studied you as you practiced.
Hinata: Rare? I don't think so. I know several fighters who fight the same way.
Rinkah: It may be common within Hoshido, but I've never seen it used in the Flame Tribe.
Hinata: Oh, I see what you mean.
Rinkah: I've witnessed a lot of different styles, but yours makes great use of follow-up moves. If I could meld it with my own, I could definitely become stronger...
Hinata: That...was a compliment, right?
Rinkah: Again, take it however you like.
Hinata: Awesome! Anyway, you'd better stick with me if you want to learn more!
Rinkah: What? No, you're sticking with me! Let's go again. Get ready!
A Support
Hinata: Damn it. You managed to parry or evade all of my attacks today.
Rinkah: Of course; it's only natural to get used to someone you are fighting time and again.
Hinata: True... Also, none of your counterattacks landed, so that means... We haven't determined the better fighter!
Rinkah: You're right. Clearly I still haven't learned all there is to learn from you. Only your strong defense can explain me not being able to hit you.
Hinata: I think that we've come as far as we can, sparring against one another with swords. Next time, let's spar with your best weapon, OK?
Rinkah: Are you serious?
Hinata: Of course! You're best with a club, right? Our next battle will be with clubs!
Rinkah: If you insist... But you aren't allowed to blame the weapon choice when you lose.
Hinata: Hah, I'd never!
Rinkah: And I won't be responsible if you get hurt.
Hinata: I'm not worried about that. Our sparring matches are actually a ton of fun!
Rinkah: What? You're having fun?
Hinata: Of course. There's a limit to how strong I can get just training alone. Practicing with you is great experience, so I'm really enjoying this chance to learn. I feel like I can get a whole lot stronger by doing this!
Rinkah: Interesting... I think we are both on the same page, actually. We're driving one another to grow.
Hinata: Yeah! So don't you dare hold back!
Rinkah: Same to you!
S Support
Hinata: Hello, Rinkah. I wanted to ask you something, if you've got a moment...
Rinkah: Oh, Hinata. You're acting very formal today. What do you need? I'm ready for another match if you are!
Hinata: Oh, n-no. That's not why I'm here. I actually wanted to ask... Can I go with you next time you go to the Flame Tribe?
Rinkah: What are you talking about? You don't seriously want to challenge the Flame Tribe to sparring matches, do you?
Hinata: No, no! That's not it at all! The last thing I want to talk about today is sparring. I wanted to visit so I could introduce myself to them is all.
Rinkah: Why would you want to introduce yourself?
Hinata: It seems only right that I meet the people who raised the woman I care for...
Rinkah: Hang on, what? What are you trying to say?
Hinata: I'm saying that, as we've practiced and been around each other... I've grown to like you. A lot. You're strong and cool and amazing. Rinkah... Do you feel the same about me? Do you want to be with me?
Rinkah: I... *sigh* I can't believe you asked if you could visit my village before telling me how you feel.
Hinata: I just got the order of things mixed up! It doesn't change how I feel! But I need to know—do you feel the same way about me?
Rinkah: Yes, Hinata. Of course. Ever since I saw that burning drive in your eyes...
Hinata: Hah, I knew it! I could feel the way you were looking at me!
Rinkah: What?! I wasn't looking at you in any special way.
Hinata: Nah, I could feel it. You definitely were. I don't want you to stop, though. Keep looking at me like that forever!
Rinkah: Hrmph. I suppose I can't say no to that...
Hinata: Excellent! I promise to make you happy!

Hinata: Lady Sakura, you looked a little green out there on the battlefield. You doing OK?
Sakura: Yeah, I'm fine... I just got a little scared, that's all...
Hinata: You can't let the enemy see you sweat! They always go after the weak link!
Sakura: Really? I...I didn't know that! What should I do?
Hinata: Hmm... Maybe some extra training would help? A soldier should always be prepared!
Sakura: Extra t-training...?
Hinata: If you want, I'll take you through some exercises, myself! I'd do anything for a cutie like you, Lady Sakura. I'll be right back...
(Hinata leaves)
Sakura: Training with Hinata? Why does this make me nervous?
B Support
Hinata: All right! Let's start your training. No one's going to call you weak again... Not while I'm here!
Sakura: O-OK, if you say so...
Hinata: First, let's fix your posture! Straighten your back, and puff out your chest!
Sakura: O-OK... Like this?
Hinata: That's great! Just like that! Now, let's hear your battle cry! Say something loud and...offensive!
Sakura: What?! I couldn't possibly do that...!
Hinata: Did you just say, "couldn't possibly"...? Come on! You're better than that!
Sakura: O-OK. Uh-uhhm... Th-there's NO way I could do that!
Hinata: That was so cute! Not exactly the effect we were going for, but still...
Sakura: D-do you think I did OK? No, wait... I mean... I was awesome! Wasn't I, punk?
Hinata: Haha! Maybe I've pushed you too far.
Sakura: *sniff* Fine, then. What do I have to do to sound tough?
Hinata: Ack! Don't cry, please! I'm sorry! It was fine... It was good!
Sakura: Hinata, I'm hopeless, aren't I?
Hinata: I think I'm taking the wrong approach. Don't worry. I'll come up with something!
Sakura: OK...

Hinata: After all the guff I gave you, here I am, the one getting hurt in battle...
Sakura: That's OK, Hinata. I'm just glad it's not serious.
Hinata: *sigh* I guess I was the weak link this time...
Sakura: Th-that's not true! When we got out there, I froze up and forgot all my training!
Hinata: That's not what I saw. You fought bravely to heal and protect our comrades. Strength isn't just cutting down enemies. You also need strength of heart.
Sakura: I wasn't brave...just desperate. That's all. Hinata, do you think I'm helping, or am I just getting in the way?
Hinata: Nonsense! We need you out there! When you're with us, we all fight more bravely!
Sakura: Thank you, Hinata! That's kind of you to say.

Sakura: Hinata—hello!
Hinata: Ah, Lady Sakura. I hoped to find you today. There's something I wanted to tell you...
Sakura: What's that?
Hinata: *ahem* I've learned a lot about you recently. And...the truth is...I'm falling in love with the person I'm getting to know...
Sakura: Huh...?
Hinata: I know that I shouldn't feel this way about a royal princess. But it's not fair to keep things from you. I love you, Lady Sakura... That is all.
Sakura: Hinata...wait! You don't have to leave so soon. I l-love you, too.
Hinata: Um...but...you mean as a friend, right? You don't mean as...a man?
Sakura: At first I thought of you as an older brother who was trying to look after me... But it's different now. I'm falling for you too...
Hinata: I...I was sure you were going to turn me down!
Sakura: No! I would never reject you. I want to be with you forever.
Hinata: You really mean that?
Sakura: Yes, Hinata! I want you by my side.
Hinata: You have no idea how happy that makes me! I promise to stay by your side always.
Sakura: That's all I ask from the man I love. You have my heart forever... ...and forever after that.

Hana: *sigh* Every time I swing from the left, my hair gets in my face. I love long hair, but... this is getting unmanageable. Maybe if I brush it back and tie it differently…
Hinata: Oh, hey there, Hana.
Hana: Hello, Hinata.
Hinata: Did I catch you in the middle of a break from training?
Hana: Yep, I needed to stop for a minute and adjust my hair.
Hinata: Wow, that seems like a pretty girly thing for you to do.
Hana: It's not a matter of appearance—it keeps falling in front of my face.
Hinata: Hrm. I guess that's something that isn't a common problem for guys. We're more concerned with practicality than with appearance. It must be rough for you to maintain your looks with all the fighting you do.
Hana: What do you mean? That's pretty condescending...
Hinata: Don't get so prickly. I'm actually kind of impressed, really.
Hana: It doesn't sound that way to me. I bet you think I'm a less capable fighter, since I have to worry about more than you.
Hinata: The only way to prove yourself is with a sparring match, I say!
Hana: Very well, I accept your challenge! Here I come... Are you ready?!
Hinata: Yeah, bring it on!!

Hinata: Hey, Hana! I've returned to redeem myself after our last match.
Hana: OK. You do realize that I'll just win again, don't you?

Hana: Hyah!! (weapon clang)
Hinata: Curses!
Hana: You'll have to do something different if you want to beat me! Old moves are no good!
Hinata: Funny you should mention that—I'll break your defenses wide open with this new one! GRAAAAHH!!
Hana: Hiyah!
Hinata: Whoa! My gauntlet flew right off!
Hana: Oh no! Did I cut the bindings tying it on?
Hinata: Looks like you did. That's fine—I'll just have someone thread a new string. It'll be good as new.
Hana: No, this is all my fault. Let me fix it. You'll be in big trouble if you have to enter battle without a gauntlet...
Hinata: What? It's OK.
Hana: Just give it to me.
Hinata: *sigh* Fine. Here you go.
Hana: I've always got supplies for a little field medicine. And of course I carry a few things to patch up armor and clothes, too!
Hinata: Hm... Well...it does look like you'll fix it in a snap... ...And it's done?! Already? Thanks, Hana!
Hana: No trouble at all! This isn't the first time I've patched up some armor.
Hinata: Well, our match was interrupted by that little wardrobe malfunction. Let's continue tomorrow! Just wait, Hana! I'll claim victory soon!
Hana: You sure are competitive, Hinata... Though I guess I'm really not one to talk.
A Support
Hinata: Hana! I'm rested and ready to take you on! I'm certain today is my day!
Hana: Oh—hello, Hinata. How's your gauntlet holding up?
Hinata: You did an amazing job! I haven't needed to adjust it at all. I'm absolutely awful with repairing things. It must be your womanly touch that helps. But sparring is a different matter entirely!
Hana: Yeah, it is! But...it's kind of odd how you call what I did a womanly thing... It was just basic field repair—that skill is just as important as being able to fight.
Hinata: You think so? I've just never had the knack for it. I always need someone else to help. I apologize—I didn't mean to sound rude. I do respect you, Hana. If I didn't, I wouldn't constantly come to you to challenge my swordplay! That makes sense, right?
Hana: Well...I guess so. The way you categorize things as being womanly or not can get under my skin.
Hinata: Huh? What are you talking about? I'm here to improve my sword skills by practicing with you! It doesn't matter if you're a guy or a girl—I want to train with the best. And that's you! For now!
Hana: Hinata... ...Hm, I see what you're trying to say, even if it's in a clumsy way. Seeking new challenges is a good way to live life. I like that about you.
Hinata: ...Hm? Did you say something?
Hana: Nothing at all! All right, let's start over and spar!
Hinata: I'll win this time, no matter what!
Hana: I won't lose to you!!
S Support
Hana: *sigh...*
Hinata: What's the matter, Hana? You never seem dejected during your training... Have you gotten tired of our one-on-ones?
Hana: No, it's not that. I always look forward to our sessions.
Hinata: Then why are you heaving such a big sigh? I'll never improve if your attention isn't on the match. I need your best!
Hana: ...That's just the problem—I'm not improving from our matches.
Hinata: What do you mean?
Hana: Since we've really started sparring, you've gotten less critical of me. Your comments were biting before, and it really got me working to prove myself. Now it seems like you're being more careful around me.
Hinata: Huh? But you always got angry when I was making comments!
Hana: I know. But only when you justified what you said with the fact that I'm a woman. Since we're friends, I knew what you were trying to say, so I could forgive you...
Hinata: Really? Why?
Hana: Because...I like you!
Hinata: Whaaat?! H-Hana?
Hana: I take a lot of pride in my training—if a guy treats me differently because I'm a girl... it really, really bothers me. I want to be treated the same as any other fighter. But...I don't mind being treated nicely by someone I like...
Hinata: Er... Well, I never realized how you felt. But...for my part, I was being less critical because I realized I was making you mad. And I like you too, so I didn't want to bother you that way anymore. ...I really like you a lot.
Hana: Do you mean that?
Hinata: Of course! I like everything about you—how you're brave and strong and cute!
Hana: Aww, Hinata! That makes me so happy to hear! Together, we can both sharpen our sword skills!
Hinata: Hahaha! You, of all people, would bring sword skills into a conversation like this!
Hana: Heehee, of course I would! We both live by the sword, right? How about this, Hinata—we aim to become the greatest sword-wielding couple ever?
Hinata: I like the sound of that! I think we could do it! Let's work together toward that goal!

Subaki: Excellent. I'm looking perfect, as per usual.
Hinata: Hello, Subaki. You seem awfully pleased with yourself today.
Subaki: Well, well! Greetings, Hinata! Yes, I certainly am. Even by my own impeccable standards, I'm looking remarkably handsome. It's hard to turn from my own reflection. I think I'm in love.
Hinata: Huh?! How can you be in love with yourself? You're the most vain person that I've ever met. How can you be so narcissistic?
Subaki: It's simple. Appearances are important. Perfecting one's outward image projects confidence and inner beauty. And people will always prefer someone clean and neat over a nasty slob.
Hinata: I suppose that's true.
Subaki: Do you ever put any effort into your appearance, Hinata?
Hinata: It isn't my first priority. I just try to make sure that I'm not stinky.
Subaki: That simply won't do! Are you trying to cast shame on Lord Takumi? Besides, don't you want women to be interested in you? You won't be turning any heads without a carefully planned grooming technique.
Hinata: R-really? Are you serious?
Subaki: Of course I am. What do you think people's opinions are on your look? Let me spell it out for you. "Oh hey, it's Hinata! He smells like he slept in a barn!" "Ew, nice bed head! Ugh, do you ever change that filthy shirt of yours?" Getting the picture yet?
Hinata: Was that supposed to be some kind of stupid miniplay? You're a terrible actor. No one in town would say that about me. What's your problem?
Subaki: I'm just trying to help. Perhaps you're just too simple to understand.
Hinata: Geez, why are you being so rude? Listen, I admit that some of what you said makes sense. I don't want anyone to think I'm gross.
Subaki: A clean exterior goes a long way toward winning over other people. Being clean is more important than being cool.
Hinata: Maybe you're right... OK, Subaki. Teach me how to make myself handsome, like you!
Subaki: So you're interested now, eh? That didn't take long. Very well! I will be sure to painstakingly teach you my techniques.
Hinata: Thanks!
B Support
Subaki: You need to set up a morning grooming routine to look as stellar as I do. Are you ready to begin?
Hinata: Of course!
Subaki: First things first, you have to take a bath right after waking up. Then comb your hair very carefully. You should also use camellia oil. It gives your hair a handsome sheen that's bound to draw compliments.
Hinata: Camellia oil? That seems pretty fancy.
Subaki: You want to look good, don't you? Listen, that's just the beginning. Next comes clothing. It's important to only wear freshly laundered garments. Oh, and they can't have any wrinkles.
Hinata: None at all? How is that even possible? Clothing naturally wrinkles.
Subaki: It's simple. You just have to steam and flatten everything. Afterward, let them dry. Be careful about folding each item. You see, creases can become wrinkles.
Hinata: O-OK...
Subaki: Why so quiet, Hinata? I thought you were excited to learn.
Hinata: I just realized that this is impossible.
Subaki: Huh? What do you mean?
Hinata: Just what I said! This is IMPOSSIBLE! Do you really think I can be that meticulous?
Subaki: Of course not.
Hinata: What? Then why are you even trying to teach me? Listen, thanks anyway, Subaki. But I think these lessons are probably pointless.
Subaki: Don't be so dramatic. I like helping out with these kind of things. There is a perfect teacher right in front of you. Don't just give up and run away.
Hinata: It doesn't matter if you're a great teacher. Like I said, it's impossible.
Subaki: You're not even giving this a chance! Just stick with me. This won't seem so difficult once you've got a routine down.
Hinata: Wait! Where are you dragging me now?
Subaki: We're starting with step one. You need to take a bath. Come on!
Hinata: Whaaaaaaaat?! No, I don't want to!
A Support
Subaki: Ah, there you are, Hinata!
Hinata: Ugh, Subaki. I can't stand to talk about my appearance anymore.
Subaki: I had a feeling you might say that. I guess you just don't have the willpower.
Hinata: You're right. I really don't...
Subaki: Well, I hope you're looking forward to a lifetime of people talking down to you. "Here comes that old stink bomb—Hinata! Geez, has he ever even heard of soap?"
Hinata: Stop it with your imitations! I hate your little miniplays!
Subaki: Listen, it's only a matter of time before people start talking to you that way. Don't give up so easily. Let's try to cover some more basic grooming techniques.
Hinata: Basic stuff, huh?
Subaki: Let's take this one step at a time. I understand that this seems overwhelming. All you have to do is change things slowly. That way, it won't feel as daunting while you get used to the new routine.
Hinata: Hmm. Is that really true?
Subaki: Of course it is. For example, you could start flattening your clothing every few days. That way, you'll have plenty of outfits ready and won't have to do it every morning. Or you could try and bathe every other day. Once you get used to these small changes, it won't bother you at all.
Hinata: Oh, that actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks for trying to help me, Subaki.
Subaki: It's my pleasure. Helping you isn't a total waste of my time.
Hinata: You really have the worst personality.
Subaki: Hahaha. I cover that with my perfectly charming exterior.
Hinata: Ah, I feel like I finally understand you.
Subaki: Hinata, that was meant to be a joke. Never mind. Let's head into town.
Hinata: Town? But why?
Subaki: We need to pick up some essential items to help maintain your looks. A mirror, camellia oil, a comb... I wrote a whole list. It's fairly extensive.
Hinata: I changed my mind. This is going to be way too much work.
Subaki: Well, look forward to being teased all the time then. "There he is—that old bed head!" "He always looks like he just crawled out of a trash heap!"
Hinata: All right, fine! Just stop. We can go get all the stuff on your list. But only so that I can make myself look amazing one day to show you up.
Subaki: Hahaha, that'll be the day.

Hinata: Hmm. For you? Sure.
Orochi: I see you've got a handful of herbs there.
Hinata: Good eye! I just picked 'em up in the mountains.
Orochi: May I have some? I use herbs as ingredients for my divinations.
Hinata: These things? I picked 'em thinking they were good for medicine.
Orochi: As far as I know, those specific herbs have marginal use in medicine. But for incense, which I use, they have potent properties.
Hinata: Huh—who knew? But I'm not gonna let 'em go for free. I want my future told. Yeah, tell me how strong I'm going to get!
Orochi: A good question, and quickly answered. One divination, coming up. *mumblty, mumble*
Hinata: Whoa. You all right? Got something stuck in your throat?
Orochi: AH! YES!
Hinata: What is it—chicken bone?
Orochi: No, no, no. I was communing with the gods. I have the tiding you seek. But you're not going to be happy. You won't get stronger.
Hinata: What?! Then you have to do something to change my future!
Orochi: I...don't know if I can.
Hinata: Please, Orochi. Please!
Orochi: There may be a way. I'll need to make preparations. This is not going to be easy. Next time we meet, I'll be ready to begin.
Hinata: Got it. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
Orochi: Nothing for now. But you're in good hands. I won't fail you.
B Support
Orochi: All right, Hinata. I know what to do. I've made preparations. Your future at present shows that you'll never get any stronger. But we will change your fate.
Hinata: I'll do anything, Orochi!
Orochi: You've got a good heart, Hinata. I think we can fix this. I've communed with higher sources. Your focus is the problem. You dwell too much on your sword. You must broaden your interests. Do you...lack the confidence to try other things?
Hinata: Huh. Never thought that I was short on confidence.
Orochi: Yet it seems so. What you need to do is this—help me with my tasks.
Hinata: Er, really? How's helping you... help me?
Orochi: You focus on yourself too much—what you already know. Helping others will give you the confidence to do anything.
Hinata: I don't know about this.
Orochi: Let's begin. The first test is one of empathy. Look at my face. What do I want? Be exact.
Hinata: All right. Your face tells me... It tells me...
Orochi: Yes, yes? Here's a hint. What are my eyes looking at?
Hinata: Er, empty teacup?
Orochi: Empty...? Tea...? So maybe I want you to...?
Hinata: Get you some tea?!
Orochi: I'm sorry. I didn't choose the test. It was a divine revelation. I don't need the tea. The test requires that you fetch it. Blame the gods if you like. I'll just be on my way.
Hinata: Ugh, fine. Anything to change my fate. I'll get your tea.
Orochi: Bravely faced, Hinata. My shoulders are feeling stiff too. So the gods tell me.
Hinata: All right. Cup of tea, back rub. Anything else?
Orochi: The gods say nothing else for now. Except—hop to it.

Hinata: Oh, hey...Orochi.
Orochi: If it isn't my brave friend Hinata!
Hinata: About fixing my fate by doing tasks, like getting you some tea... and giving you that really, really, REALLY long back rub... You were just pulling my leg, right?
Orochi: You know me too well, Hinata. Ooh, and may I just say... I think that back rub was the best I've ever had. Exquisite!
Hinata: Hmpf.
Orochi: Don't pout, Hinata. Why, you must have gotten something out of it.
Hinata: Maybe. It wasn't half-bad to see you so happy. But next time, don't—
Orochi: Next time? There's no need for that. You passed the test! You sensed what I needed then delivered the goods. Which means...you now possess what you lacked before.
Hinata: What? Your riddles are wearing me out, Orochi.
Orochi: You have gained perspective. Before, you were one man and a sword. You sensed only what the old Hinata could see. The new Hinata sees more. Senses better. Observes, then acts. You will never be caught off guard by foes again.
Hinata: All because I got you a cup of tea?
Orochi: Because you sensed I wanted one!
Hinata: Ugh, my head hurts.
Orochi: That, my dear Hinata, is the sensation of your awareness growing.
Hinata: Fine, I'll admit I got something out of this. Even if it's just a headache. So, heh, thanks.
Orochi: How about you repay the favor... by giving me a back rub?
Hinata: Ugh. Now you're just taking advantage of me, Orochi.
Orochi: Heh! You see? Your senses detect things you never saw before. Well done, Hinata.

Orochi: Ah! I sensed you were enticed by my carefully cultivated image. But, wait! Are you saying you don't find Orochi alluring now?
Hinata: That's not what I'm saying. I mean that I thought you were all image—nothing else. But then you open your mouth, and all sorts of interesting comes out.
Orochi: Of course! Orochi is deep as an ocean. Her mysteries, fathomless.
Hinata: Yeah, I know...
Orochi: Hinata, you're keeping something from me. What's this all about?
Hinata: I can't figure out what you really think...about me.
Orochi: Ah, well. So it goes.
Hinata: That's that? All right. I'm fine leaving things the way they are. Back to the back rub then. How's this feel?
Orochi: Ohmygosh. Right there. I love—
Hinata: R-really?
Orochi: —the way you massage my back. But, all right, Hinata. I love you too. You got it out of me. You're adorable when you battle. And you're kinder than I would have given you credit for.
Hinata: ......
Orochi: You can't clam up after I say something like that, Hinata.
Hinata: Sorry, thinking again. The way you blushed when you confessed your love—I could almost melt.
Orochi: Who's this talking to me? What have you done with my Hinata! Give me back my adorable clod!
Hinata: Hey, Orochi. I'm a sensitive guy now. You brought it out of me. You and I—we're lovebirds now. Coo, coo!
Orochi: You're a lovebird. I'm more a cat. And we all know how THAT ends. So, get back to my back rub. Or else, lovebird.

Hinoka: Yaah! Hyah! HHHAAAAAIIII-YAH!
(Hinoka leaves)
Hinata: Oh, it's Lady Hinoka training over there. She gives off such an intense energy when she is deep into her training…
Hinoka: Hello, Hinata. Do you need something?
Hinata: Oh! No, sorry for disturbing you. I was just overwhelmed by your intensity.
Hinoka: My intensity? This is just a normal workout for me, really.
Hinata: A normal workout... Amazing! Your energy while training is extremely attractive.
Hinoka: Hah, no need for compliments. I'm doing this to improve my body, not my ego.
Hinata: Such self-discipline... We retainers could learn a thing or two from you, to be sure. You're truly impressive, Princess Hinoka.
Hinoka: No need to be so formal, Hinata. And I have to be strong. I can't always rely on my retainers. I need to be able to protect myself.
Hinata: What?! But, Lady Hinoka, the whole reason you have retainers is to rely on them. Aren't there some things you can order them to deal with?
Hinoka: No, I'm not bossy with them most of the time. And even if I was...
Hinata: You trailed off there. What do you mean?
Hinoka: Even if I gave them orders, they're not the types to jump up and get things done.
Hinata: That doesn't seem like the proper behavior for a royal retainer at all...
Hinoka: It doesn't bother me that much, so it's fine. If anything, I feel obligated to watch over them, really. Honestly, having to take care of them actually keeps me on my toes.
Hinata: Well, if you ever need help with anything, just let me know. I'll gladly help you!
Hinoka: Oh no, I wouldn't impose on you. Or on Takumi, for that matter.
Hinata: Don't worry! Lord Takumi would understand if you needed help. It really wouldn't bother anyone.
Hinoka: I appreciate the thought, but I prefer not to rely on other people. I have somewhere to be.

Hinata: I'm still thinking about that talk I had with Lady Hinoka the other day... She said she couldn't count on her retainers, but maybe I can help. Hey, is that her over there? She looks a little unsteady.
(Hinata leaves)
Hinoka: *phew* Ouf!
Hinata: Yikes! Lady Hinoka, are you OK?!
Hinoka: Hm? Oh—Hinata. Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just a little dizzy is all.
Hinata: I don't want to lecture you, Lady Hinoka... But do you think you may be working too hard?
Hinoka: Not in the least.
Hinata: But...we fought in a battle today, and yet you're also training? Why don't you take it easy for a little bit? Even just a single day.
Hinoka: I suppose you have a point... I'll go rest in the shade of that tree over there. Is that enough?
Hinata: Yes! Here, I'll walk with you in case you need a hand.
Hinoka: Thank you... I can't believe I got that exhausted.
Hinata: I know I said it before, but you really should learn to rely on others more. We're all willing to help out, if you just ask!
Hinoka: I'll make a point to remember that. I don't mean to worry everyone... I just feel like I haven't reached my full potential, so I have to keep working.
Hinata: Lady Hinoka...
Hinoka: Oh, wipe that look off your face. I promise I'll rest for the remainder of the day. I'll head back to my room for now.

Hinoka: Hello, Hinata. I wanted to apologize to you for making you worry the other day.
Hinata: Ah, hi there, Lady Hinoka. I'm glad to see you looking better!
Hinoka: I'm feeling better, too. I really do appreciate your help. That said, you are Takumi's retainer. I don't want you worrying about me anymore.
Hinata: Lady Hinoka, why do you keep putting distance between us? Could it be that you aren't willing to show weakness around retainers?
Hinoka: I don't...
Hinata: Just have a little faith in us. We're happy to help you!
Hinoka: You're right, of course. I never really realized it before, but perhaps I place an undue burden on my position...
Hinata: The whole reason you have retainers is so that you have people to rely on. If you hide that you need help, they'll never be able to do anything for you.
Hinoka: Hinata...
Hinata: We may be retainer and royal to each other, but we're also warriors who fight together. We're companions. So it's fine to show a little vulnerability now and then.
Hinoka: You're right. I need to reconsider my way of thinking.
Hinata: Lady Hinoka...
Hinoka: As a princess of Hoshido, I've always pushed myself to excel. I wanted to be able to support Ryoma and protect Corrin, so I worked hard. But after all you've said, I can see that I may have pushed myself too hard.
Hinata: I'm sorry if I spoke out of line... I just want you to realize you can rely on me a little.
Hinoka: I understand. I'll try to do that from now on.
Hinata: Good!

Hinata: Oh really? Well it makes me pretty happy to hear you say so!
Hinoka: I'm glad. That reminds me, Hinata, I have something to ask you. Hm, how best to... There's someone I've taken an interest in recently...
Hinata: Wh-what?! You mean there's someone you like romantically?!
Hinoka: Exactly. He scolds me when I need to be straightened out, but he has a kind heart.
Hinata: Oh really? He sounds like a really nice guy. I'm sure you'll get along... I had no idea you were interested in someone...
Hinoka: You... You realize I'm talking about you, right?
Hinata: You are?!
Hinoka: Up until we really started talking, I've lived my life hiding all of my weaknesses. Ryoma was really the only person who I ever let see me fail. Then you came along and made yourself so available... I felt so at ease.
Hinata: Hang on, hang on! Are you saying...
Hinoka: Yes, Hinata! I'm saying that I think I'm in love with you!
Hinata: I knew it! Ahhh, damn it. I wanted to say it first.
Hinoka: Say it first? What do you mean?
Hinata: I mean that I love you too, Lady Hinoka! You're awkward, but you're also straightforward and honest. Ignoring my duty as a retainer to protect royalty, I still would give my life for you. Lady Hinoka... Please let us be together as a couple!

Hinata: Ahhh ow-ow-ow. That was really clumsy of me...
Setsuna: Hello, Hinata...
Hinata: Ah! Setsuna?! You snuck up on me!
Setsuna: What happened to your arm?
Hinata: Oh, I was just working on a difficult parry pose and accidentally nicked myself. It's no big deal, though. I've got all kinds of small cuts from practicing. I'll be fine!
Setsuna: You get hurt like this often? That seems painful...
Hinata: Hm? I suppose it is, yeah. But that's just how life is, you know?
Setsuna: Yes... I also get hurt sometimes.
Hinata: You do? Is it from practicing too hard?
Setsuna: Oh no... It's from all the traps I get caught in.
Hinata: Now I remember! You're always getting stuck in traps. Even ones your allies place. So that's how you get hurt, then?
Setsuna: Exactly... So lately I've been stocking up on salves, just in case. I'd be happy to share...
Hinata: Thanks, Setsuna! I could use a good salve.
Setsuna: Good... If you'd like, I could bring you some other salves, too.
Hinata: Other salves? What do you mean?
Setsuna: When I was at the shop the other day, I bought a ton of extras. I'd happily share them with you, if you think you need them...
Hinata: Really? That'd be amazing. You're so nice, Setsuna!
Setsuna: Heehee. Well, I'll see you later...
B Support
Setsuna: Hey there, Hinata. I brought you the salves we were talking about the other day...
Hinata: The extra ones you got from the shop? Excellent! Let me see what you've got...
Setsuna: Ta-da...
Hinata: Whoa! You weren't kidding when you said you bought a ton! What'd you do, clean them out?
Setsuna: Each time I picked one of the salves up, I could think of reasons to have it... Eventually I had a little of everything.
Hinata: Ooo, this one looks interesting. What's it used for?
Setsuna: That one is in case you bite the inside of your mouth. It tastes really sweet...
Hinata: It even has a candy look to it! Ick, what's that smell? Is that coming from this puke-green bottle?
Setsuna: That's a cure-all. There really isn't anything it can't fix, I think... But you're right; it really is stinky...
Hinata: Now that's one I don't look forward to drinking... I didn't realize there were this many salves in the world, Setsuna! Do you know what all of them do?
Setsuna: I suppose so... I never really thought about it. I just have fun collecting them.
Hinata: If you collect them all, you're gonna have to start making your own, instead! Just kidding; that'd be really tough...
Setsuna: Actually... I think I'd like to do that. Making my own salves could be really fun. I could make special salves for people...
Hinata: Wait, really? Do you think you could do that, Setsuna?
Setsuna: I think so... I'll start by making one just for you, Hinata. It'll be great.
Hinata: Setsuna, you know I was joking, right?
Setsuna: This is going to be so much fun...

Setsuna: Hinata, I finished...
Hinata: You finished...what? Oh! The salve you were going to make me?
Setsuna: Exactly. It's all ready for you. I even made some for myself, since it works so well...
Hinata: Really? That's fantastic! What all does this salve do?
Setsuna: Well, I get caught in traps a lot, so it will first help reduce bruising...
Hinata: Oooh, it smells really refreshing. Just the aroma is making me feel relaxed...
Setsuna: I thought it was important for the salve to not smell like death... Anyway, wounds often get infected, so I added some herbs to fight that, too.
Hinata: Oh wow! You did a lot better than I thought you would, Setsuna! I'm really impressed.
Setsuna: I am, too. I thought for sure that I'd have a ton of trouble with making these...
Hinata: Making salves must just come naturally to you. I take it you've already tested this on yourself after falling into a trap?
Setsuna: Yes. That's why it took so long for me to bring it to you—I was in the trap two days. But I had yours with me, so I know no one messed with it... Here you go...
Hinata: Thanks! I— Ugghhhh! What is this? It's all mushy! And it reeks! Why is mine completely unlike yours?!
Setsuna: I'm glad you appreciate how unique it is...
Hinata: I don't! That wasn't a compliment! By the gods, is it MOVING?! Why is my salve moving?!
Setsuna: Who knows... Science is such a mystery.
Hinata: But... But you made this! How can you say "who knows" about your own creation? What exactly is in this?
Setsuna: Some bugs from up in the mountains... A few reptiles... Hmmm... What else...
Hinata: This is so gross. I'm sorry, Setsuna, but I don't think this will work for me...
Setsuna: Aw, really? I'm sorry to hear that...
Hinata: I really do appreciate the thought, but it's just a bit too much for me... I'd be happy if you shared your salves again, sometime. Just... Maybe not ones you made?
Setsuna: OK, that sounds fine. Off to the store I go...
S Support
Setsuna: Hey there, Hinata...
Hinata: Hello, Setsuna. Need something?
Setsuna: I tried to make your salve again...
Hinata: You did? You mean that strange-looking stuff that was moving?
Setsuna: Yeah. I think I got it right this time, though...
Hinata: Really? Let me see... It does look pretty normal; it's not twitching and shifting this time, anyway. Oh, and it smells nicer, too.
Setsuna: I made sure to test this bottle, so I know it works. I think maybe I let the last one sit too long, so it...changed...
Hinata: That was the problem? Then I'll keep this one around and use it soon! Thanks, Setsuna! This is a great gift!
Setsuna: I'm glad you're happy... After I let you down last time, I couldn't rest until I had tried to make it up to you.
Hinata: Really? You cared that much that I was happy? Does that... No, never mind, I don't know what I'm thinking...
Setsuna: Hinata, what's the matter? You look in pain. Maybe you should take the salve...
Hinata: Well... OK. I wanted to ask you... The reason you wanted to do something for me... Was it because you like me?
Setsuna: Do I like you? Like...am I attracted to you?
Hinata: I ask because, ever since we started talking about salves, I can't help looking at you. When I see you walking past, my eyes just follow you until you're out of sight. I only really realized a little while ago that it's because I like you.
Setsuna: Hinata...
Hinata: So...if there is even the slightest chance that you also like me... I would really, really like to know!
Setsuna: Hmmm...
Hinata: Is that...a no?
Setsuna: Hmmm...
Hinata: Hello? Setsuna, are you there?
Setsuna: Oh! Sorry... I was so surprised, I just kind of started daydreaming about your words... Yes, Hinata, I like you too. You saying it just sent my mind off to happy places...
Hinata: Happy places? Really?!
Setsuna: Indeed... I was very happy to hear you confess your feelings... I want us to be together.
Hinata: Oh, Setsuna, I'm so glad you feel like I do!
Setsuna: I need to warn you, though... I really do daydream sometimes... It might be in the middle of a conversation. Or while making salves... But—I think—it'll most likely be daydreams of you.

Oboro: What, by yourself? But you're so careless with everything! It'll end up a mess.
Hinata: What are you talking about? I can cut my own hair! How much harder can it be than cutting down enemies?
Oboro: ...Seriously? Look, just hand over the scissors, and I'll cut it for you.
Hinata: Really?
Oboro: Sure. I have some free time to do a friend a favor. Plus, if you go around with an awful haircut, it'll reflect badly on Lord Takumi. So I don't mind at all.
Hinata: Gosh, thanks, Oboro! Oooh, if you can, you should give me a cool haircut like Lord Takumi's!
Oboro: Are you nuts? You can't be as cool as Lord Takumi just by changing your hairdo.
Hinata: Aw, man...but I've been serving Lord Takumi for a while now. None of his coolness has rubbed off?
Oboro: It doesn't work like that. Besides, I've been serving him WAY longer. If it rubbed off on anyone, it's me.
Hinata: No way! If you think I'm not the most loyal to Lord Takumi, think again!
Oboro: Please. You're second or third most loyal at BEST. Now hush up. Remember who's holding the scissors here. Or do you want a bowl cut?
Hinata: Aaah! N-no! Anything but that!

Oboro: Oh, no need to thank me.

Oboro: WHAT? Don't be ridiculous! Keep your hands off my hair!
Hinata: No, it'll be fine! If it's not my own hair, I can see what I'm doing.
Oboro: That's not the problem! A woman's hair takes a special touch. Not some happy-go-lucky oaf's!
Hinata: Wh-why not? I was gonna make you look cooler...
Oboro: What exactly is your idea of "cooler"? Besides, I like my hair a certain way.
Hinata: Oh, yeah. You wear your hair like that so it looks like Lord Takumi's, right?
Oboro: Yup. As long as I serve Lord Takumi, I want to emulate him in every way. I mean, that's what inspired your hairstyle too, right?
Hinata: Hahaha, yep. I wear my hair like this so I can be as great as our master someday.
Oboro: Well, it's not doing much for you so far, I can tell you that. Lord Takumi is waaaaay cooler than you.
Hinata: I know! Geez, you're so obsessed with him.
Oboro: Hmph, like you're one to talk.
Hinata: Haha...
Oboro: Hahahaha!
Hinata: We're going a little overboard here, huh? How about instead, we do some training so we can better serve Lord Takumi?
Oboro: Sounds good to me. But I don't wanna see you cry when I win!
Hinata: Haha, that's my line!

Oboro: Ugh. People saw our little spat over Lord Takumi... I'm so embarrassed.
Hinata: Who cares? Now they know how intense our loyalty is!
Oboro: Haha, I guess that's true. I did feel kinda proud... But that's not the point! We shouldn't be bragging about how loyal we are. It makes us look bad.
Hinata: Yeah, yeah... I knew you'd say that.
Oboro: It's not usually a problem for me except when I'm around you.
Hinata: Hrm? What do you mean?
Oboro: W-well... All I mean is that I recognize you as a capable retainer. If I didn't, I wouldn't get so competitive.
Hinata: Oh, OK! Yeah, that's about where I stand with you, too. I know Lord Takumi is always on your mind, so I feel like I have to up my game.
Oboro: D-don't say that! It's embarrassing!
Hinata: Why not? You started it. You know what I really love? When the two of us are together with Lord Takumi.
Oboro: Yeah, we make a great team, huh?

Hinata: No, it's just...um...
Oboro: Come on—out with it!

Oboro: Huh?
Hinata: You've been mooning over him since the day you started as his retainer. And it always seemed like a cute, harmless thing...but not so much anymore.
Oboro: What do you mean?
Hinata: I know you like him, and he's a prince. But I can't let that stop me! I love you, Oboro!
Oboro: Wh...what?!

Hinata: Urgh...I-I know...
Oboro: BUT. Those are all the things I love about you.
Hinata: ...Wow, really?
Oboro: When I talk about Lord Takumi, it's like a fantasy or an ideal. But you're real. You're right here, in the flesh, telling me you love me. So yeah, I love you, Hinata. As more than a partner.
Hinata: N-no kidding?
Oboro: I'm confessing my love here, idiot! Why would I joke about that?!

Takumi: Is that what this is about? You forgot the part where you fought and I watched. As a member of the royal family, I wasn't allowed to participate.

Takumi: Shh! Can you keep your voice down? You're my retainer! You can't talk like that!
Hinata: Yes, sir! Sorry, milord. *ahem* Well, I was thinking we should round up our best fighters and hold another contest. With the war going on, we can't afford to get sloppy! We've gotta stay sharp! We used to take our best swordsmen and have them fight their way up the ranks. I think it's time we do it again!

Takumi: So you set up this whole fighting contest for my entertainment?
Hinata: Yeah. I remembered how happy you looked while you were cheering me on last time. I gave it all I had so I could make you proud! Since you couldn't fight, I figured the next best thing was watching me win!
Takumi: Wow, Hinata. That's surprisingly thoughtful of you.
Hinata: See? I knew it! You loved watching me give those guys a spanking!
Takumi: Well... *ahem* Hinata, things are different now. I have responsibilities... Aww! Who am I kidding?! You know I love watching you slice and dice out there.

Hinata: Those creepy whirlpools were awesome. I've never seen someone draw like you! It's very... What's the word... Abstract! It's abstract art!
Kagero: I did not intend for it to be abstract. It is supposed to be a scenic view of a peaceful river.
Hinata: Oh. Um. Of course. Sorry. Still, I'm telling the truth when I tell you that I like it. I'm not trying to trick you or anything. I really would like to see more!
Kagero: I suppose you've insisted enough that I can believe you. I apologize for how rude I was to you before. I'm not used to compliments. Growing up, only Orochi was accepting of my art, so I tend to doubt others. Even after a few people have said they like what they see, I still don't believe it.
Hinata: It's just my opinion, but I bet more people would enjoy your work than you think. You should have more confidence!
Kagero: That's very kind of you to say. I suspect I have misjudged you, Hinata. I had thought that you lacked refinement... I can see now that I was incorrect.
Hinata: It took you this long to figure it out? And here I was pulling out all the stops to praise you!
Kagero: Heh... My apologies, Hinata. I appreciate the nice things you've said about my art.
Hinata: See, now there's a cute smile! You should break out that smile more often!
Kagero: And I withdraw my apology.
Hinata: Wait, what? Why?! Am I only allowed to praise your art? I can't tell what I should be doing...
Kagero: I'd appreciate you limiting your opinions to my art, if you could. Although, I do feel like we have bonded over this little ordeal.
Hinata: Me too! Does this mean that you'll finally show me some of your other work?
Kagero: Yes, I suppose I could show you one or two other pieces.

Kagero: Hello, Hinata. I've finished another picture that I'd like to share with you.
Hinata: Oh really? Awesome! This one is really intense. It looks like a battle is being fought... But everyone on the ground is unharmed, while the dead and wounded are fighting. So cool. Your work really stirs the imagination.
Kagero: Thank you. I'm not sure if it's because of all the things you've been saying, but... I've really been motivated lately to do a lot more drawing. Though, I must say, I keep thinking about something you said a while back.
Hinata: Oh? What was it I said?
Kagero: You said repeatedly that you liked my art because you wanted to help. But I don't understand why you would sometimes compliment my appearance.
Hinata: Oh! I'm sorry if I offended you. In the end we were able to become good friends, so it didn't make you too angry?
Kagero: Actually, Hinata, I kind of enjoyed it. I didn't realize it then, but I appreciated it.
Hinata: Really? That's good to hear! After all, I've found that I love who you are as much as what you do.
Kagero: Hold on—did you just say love?
Hinata: I did! When I first saw you, I thought right away that you were very pretty. But we got to talking, and I learned so much more about you... And I just knew that you were the kind of person I'd like in my life. I guess what I'm saying is... Would you like to be with me, Kagero?
Kagero: ...
Hinata: I...am not sure how to take your silence. Are you way out of my league?
Kagero: No, no. You've made me very happy. I'm just having trouble finding words... I've learned how kind you are over time, as we talked about art and other things. I'd very much like to be with you. I think we'd make a good team.
Hinata: Whoa, you said yes? You said yes! Am I dreaming?
Kagero: Is it really that surprising?
Hinata: It is! Of course it is! I thought I was going way out on a limb, telling you how I felt. I actually didn't prepare myself for you feeling the same as I do. All right, Kagero! I promise to make you the happiest girl in the world!
Kagero: We'll work together to make each other happy. There's no way we'll fail.

Kaden: *sigh*
Hinata: Whatcha sighing for, Kaden?
Kaden: Oh, nothing special. I was just thinking about my kitsune friends. I don't really have any right to be sad about it, though. I was the one who left.
Hinata: You left them? Why?
Kaden: Oh, no reason. I've just always been a bit of a wanderer, you know? I love to go off on adventures in the woods or into town, so I was gone a lot. In fact, I was on one of those adventures when I joined up with you guys. But it's weird. I usually don't get sad about being gone.
Hinata: Sounds like someone's a little homesick.
Kaden: Home? Sick? But I'm not at home or sick. Is your head OK, Hinata?
Hinata: No, not sick at home. More like sick FOR your home. As in, you miss it. And you haven't seen any of your friends since you joined up with us, right? So it's been a long time. A lot longer than it takes to visit the towns or the woods.
Kaden: Yeah, you're right. I guess that makes sense. *sigh* This "homesick" stuff is rough.
Hinata: Aw, don't worry, Kaden. You'll be OK! We'll knock that feeling right outta ya!
Kaden: Huh? You can do that?
Hinata: Sure can! We just have to do some fun stuff to help get your mind off it all. And I know just what we can do: train!
Kaden: What?! Training isn't fun!
Hinata: Huh? Sure it is! Most fun you'll ever have!
Kaden: For you, maybe! I think I'll pass.
Hinata: Hmmm... What about hunting or climbing trees? You like that stuff, right?
Kaden: Yeah, but I don't know if I should really go with you...
Hinata: What are you talking about? It'll be great! C'mon! Let's go!
Kaden: H-hey! Let go! Argh! You can't just drag me around like this!

Kaden: *pant...pant* Ugh. Hinata really is insane...
Hinata: Hm? Didja say something?
Kaden: Yes! You know that dragging me around the mountains isn't helping me, right? I already told you I hated training, didn't I? So why are you doing this to me?
Hinata: What? Hey, I'm only trying to help!
Kaden: Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm just so tired... I can barely even...ugh.
Hinata: Yeesh. What a wimp. Oh, I know what we can do! Here, have some of these.
Kaden: Berries?
Hinata: Yep! Found 'em earlier. They're super sweet. I bet they'll pick you right up!
Kaden: Huh. Thanks, Hinata. *munch munch* Oh! They ARE sweet! And delicious!
Hinata: I told you so!
Kaden: They kind of remind me of something, too. I can't quite put my finger on what, though. But, man, am I feeling better. Those really hit the spot.
Hinata: Oh, really? That's great!
Kaden: Yeah! For some reason, I feel full of energy too. I feel like I could take on anything now!
Hinata: Nice! Those berries really do pack a punch. So...on with the hike, then?
Kaden: Sure! Let's do it! Look out, nature, here we come!

Kaden: Hey, Hinata! I wanted to thank you for taking me out hiking the other day. Thanks to you, I'm feeling back to my old self again!
Hinata: No problem, buddy. I'm glad to hear it. You got better awfully quick, though. Any particular reason, you think?
Kaden: Well, I think all the exercise you put me through probably helped a bit. But I think the main thing that helped were those berries you gave me.
Hinata: The berries? How?
Kaden: Those are the same berries that grow around my hometown! I'd completely forgotten about them at the time, but I remembered it later. And it made me feel good, knowing I got a little taste of home way out here. It makes it feel like my friends aren't so far away anymore, you know?
Hinata: I see. So that explains it.
Kaden: Yep! And to return the favor, I brought you a whole basket of them! Freshly picked! Wanna eat them together?
Hinata: Sure, thanks! *chomp chomp* *munch munch* Ah, man, these are the best!
Kaden: Right? But I have to admit, the ones back home had a unique color to them. They were even brighter and more beautiful than these! Once the war is over, I'm gonna go back home and eat every one I see!
Hinata: Sure you're not just getting homesick again?
Kaden: Huh? Am I? I don't think so. I'm not sad... I just can't wait to go home again!
Hinata: Haha. I think you're OK then. Let's do our best to end this war so you can go home as soon as possible.
Kaden: Thanks! But you'll have to come too! We'll have a feast of berries together!
Hinata: Of course! Wouldn't miss it for the world, my friend.

Odin: Oh! You startled me! From what shadowy nook did you emerge?
Hinata: Huh?! I could ask you the same thing! (...If I understood a word you'd said!) Why are you screaming your head off like a big ol' weirdo?
Odin: Ha! Odin Dark is no common banshee! You witnessed the casting of a great spell! I have just unleashed magic too powerful and extreme for you to comprehend!
Hinata: That sounds ominous. What does it do?
Odin: That spell just traded darkest night for brightest day...and vice versa.
Hinata: Really? It still looks like daytime to me.
Odin: I see your point, but do not lose faith so hastily! Surely you saw this gloomy cloud. Before you arrived, I cast my most famous spell. ...And see? It's already working!
Hinata: Where?! What's happening?
Odin: Look! The sun reveals herself through that crack in the sky! Behold the shaft of light!

Odin: Not really.
Hinata: I have a great idea! Let's start with the spell for the clouds. That one's awesome!
Odin: I'm afraid I'm not in the market for any adjunct spellcasters.
Hinata: Adjuh-what?!
Odin: Look. I'll be frank. I, Odin Dark, have been kissed by magic. It flows through my veins! You? Not so much.
Hinata: Please! Pretty please! It's not like I'm asking you to do it for free! If you teach me some spells, I'll give you this katana!
Odin: Let me see that!
Hinata: Here. Look all you want!
Odin: How marvelous and menacing! A harbinger of death! This is no ordinary sword!
Hinata: Of course it isn't! My family has served the Hoshidan royals for years! This katana is befitting a samurai. ...So, come on. Please?!
Odin: I cannot turn away such lavish tuition, but I warn you. My hopes for you are meager!

Odin: SHHHH! Keep your voice down! As you may recall, I never asked for an apprentice!
Hinata: Calm down! I'm not going to tell anyone! You upheld your end of the bargain. You taught me a few spells. You never promised me they'd work! Here. Take my sword.
Odin: Odin Dark must decline. That wondrous blade is yours to wield.
Hinata: Are you sure? We made a deal!
Odin: The samurai live and die by the sword. I would never claim something so precious.
Hinata: You mean this whole time, you were never planning to accept my katana as payment? But that makes no sense! I saw how your eyes lit up when you held it.
Odin: Indeed, but it was not the sword that lent a sparkle to my eye. As a practician of the magic arts, I was touched by your enthusiasm for the craft. You were so persistent! You'd hand over your legendary sword for a few lessons! I couldn't let you do it. I thwarted you by omitting crucial steps from the spells.
Hinata: But why would you do that?!
Odin: I crushed your hopes on purpose so you'd give up and keep your special sword.
Hinata: Whoa. Seriously?! That's amazing!
Odin: It's not amazing! It's horrendous!
Hinata: Nah. You were just looking out for me! I'm so relieved that your spells are legit. Now, come on. Teach me for real this time! I'll work really hard to be a good student!
Odin: Fair enough. Odin Dark shall labor to become a teacher worthy of admiration!
Hinata: All right! It's a deal. ...And this time, I'll keep the sword.
Odin: Ah, what triumph! The student has learned his first lesson! Uh, Hinata... Does your spectacular katana have a name by chance?

Peri: You'd do that for me? You're the best!
Hinata: So what are you in the market for?
Peri: Well, first off, some cute clothes and accessories. Then I want to buy some candy to give to everyone as a present!
Hinata: Sounds like we could be out there for a while. I'd better get limbered up!
Peri: Hooray! I knew I could count on you!
Hinata: Haha, stop already. You're going to make me blush.
Peri: Hmm, I need to thank you somehow for helping me out. How about if I buy you something while we're shopping!
Hinata: Oh, you don't have to get me anything.
Peri: Nooo! I totally do! I'll buy you a cute hair ribbon. It'll look so good on you!

Hinata: Aaaah! Don't cry! F-fine, I'll wear it. But just this once!
Peri: You will?

Hinata: Yeah. If you put it on your weapon like I did... See? Doesn't that look good?
Peri: Wow! It really does! Look how cute my weapon is now!
Hinata: It looks really nice! So we'll say the ribbon is yours now. I know you got it as a gift for me, but it makes more sense for you to have it.
Peri: Teeheehee. I guess that makes it a present from me to myself!
Hinata: I guess it does. Is that a problem, though?
Peri: Nope! I'll just have to find another super- cute gift to replace this one!
Hinata: No, no! That's OK, really. I don't need one.
Peri: You're sure? I had so much fun shopping with you...
Hinata: Totally sure. If you need someone to carry your bags, I'm happy to be your pack mule! But other than that, I just think you wear the cute stuff much better than me.

Peri: A special girl...?
Hinata: Yeah. I really like you, Peri.
Peri: Huh?

Peri: Sure, I'll be your girlfriend!
Hinata: Whaaat? Just like that? For real?
Peri: Yeah! You always help me out, whether it's shopping or fighting. I like that a lot!

Hinata: I figured—if you weren't busy—we'd be able to spar some more.
Selena: I see... There are a ton of fighters in the camp... Why me specifically?
Hinata: Because you're a skilled fighter, of course! I can only improve by fighting the best.
Selena: Heehee, you think I'm skilled? I suppose since you're saying such nice things, I could make some time to spar...
Hinata: And with you as my opponent, I can go all out without worrying!
Selena: What do you mean by that?!
Hinata: Just... Since we're always fighting on the battlefield... a few nicks or cuts in training won't be that big of a deal.
Selena: You asked to spar with me because it won't matter if you beat me up? What the...
Hinata: No! That's not what I meant!
Selena: You moron! You're awful. I don't like getting beat up any more than anyone else! I'll never spar with you after this. Unbelievable!

Selena: That's to be expected. I am one of the best sword fighters there is, after all.
Hinata: And then we'll cool down with some impulse shopping, yeah? You're number one in that, too!
Selena: You're at fault for that, though! You're the one who got me so worked up last time!
Hinata: Hahaha, that might be true... I didn't realize that you bought so much useless stuff, though. That was a shock.
Selena: It's not useless stuff! And shopping just helps me relieve stress.
Hinata: I see, I see. Anyway, let's get started!
Selena: Hold on a second, I have something... This! Here, I wanted to give this to you.
Hinata: Hmmm? What's this? Some kind of medicine?
Selena: I realized the other day, when you bought all those things for me... Well, we're always sparring, and it's important to treat your injuries. I want to make sure you're always at your best.
Hinata: Hahaha. Thanks, Selena. It's very nice that you're concerned for my well-being.
Selena: What?! No, I-I mean... Never mind! I take all that back! I just mean that you're gonna take a beating from me when we spar! You'll be glad to have that when I'm done with you!

Selena: Why are you asking me, anyway? Normally you're all "hey, let's spar!" and that's it.
Hinata: I was just wondering, is all... Do you really have nothing good to say about me?
Selena: I can't really think of anything...
Hinata: I... OK.
Selena: I guess you do have strengths, though... You've got a good sword arm, for one thing. You're also pretty reliable; I can count on you to do what you say you'll do. You think of your friends. Everyone can rely on you to be able to help them.
Hinata: I knew you'd think of a few things! And nice things, too. Thanks, Selena.
Selena: Don't misunderstand, though! I only said those things because you looked sad! Now answer my question—why were you asking your questions?
Hinata: Obviously it's because I like you. I wanted to know how you felt about me.
Selena: Y-you like me?!
Hinata: Is that so weird?
Selena: N-no...it's not weird at all, in fact! I mean, I AM an attractive woman. It would be strange if you didn't fall for me! It seems very normal for you.
Hinata: Exactly. You really are quite an attractive woman. You're someone that I could see myself marrying someday.
Selena: Y-you don't beat around the bush at all, do you?!
Hinata: I can get confused when people aren't direct, so I try to be direct myself.
Selena: That makes sense... Fine! I'll marry you!
Hinata: What?! I mean, r-really? That seems so sudden!
Selena: Are you doubting my commitment? You just said yourself that I'm someone you'd want to marry!
Hinata: N-no, I just meant... Everything you said before didn't sound like you like me...

Kana: I know, I know. I just mean I'm not as young as I used to be. I want to help out with things. But whenever I try, she just tells me to go play with my friends instead.
Hinata: Ah, I see. You want some responsibilities of your own.
Kana: Right! I want to do something for her. Can you think of any special things I could do for her?

Oh, and at night I make sure the mounts are all fed and outfitted for the next day. Plus I do a bunch of other little things whenever I have the time!

Hinata: Oh, just a thought. It wasn't so long ago you were still in your swaddling clothes. Now, all of a sudden, you're making real, important contributions to the army. Maybe I've been treating you like too much of a child as well.
Kana: Heehee. Yeah, I've been working real hard. Soon there'll be nothing I can't do!
Hinata: I believe it. And I bet your mother is very proud of you.
Kana: I hope so. And I'm gonna work even harder for her tomorrow!
Hinata: Gah. Looks like this might be harder than I'd thought...

Kana: *grumble*
Hinata: Hey, Kana.
Kana: Hi, Papa...
Hinata: What's wrong? I'd expected you to still be exulting over your little victory the other day. Or has beating your old man lost its novelty already?
Kana: Oh, no. I'm still happy about that, I guess. It's just that I was trying to do things for Mama earlier, and she made me stop. She said I should be spending more time playing around with my friends. She still thinks I'm just a kid. Haven't I shown her I'm old enough to help out around camp?
Hinata: Ah, so that's it. I wouldn't worry. It's not you. You're doing good work, I promise.
Kana: Then why doesn't she want me to help with anything?
Hinata: I think your mother knows full well you're capable of handling the work. But seeing you acting so grown up makes her feel sad.
Kana: Huh? Why?
Hinata: Well, she doesn't want to lose her baby boy. She is very, very proud that you're growing up and working so hard. But at the same time, she's worried it means you won't need her anymore. It's a little contradictory, but it's true. Parents can be funny like that.
Kana: So...what should I do?
Hinata: I'd say to keep doing things around camp, but don't work yourself so hard. Take breaks to see your friends, play games, go on adventures. You know. And try to spend some quality time with your mother every now and then. Do you think you can handle that?
Kana: But...
Hinata: What? You don't want to spend time with your mother?
Kana: No, that's not it! It's just... I feel like that stuff is for babies.
Hinata: No, Kana. It's not for babies. It's for children. And your mother wants you to stay a child for just a little while longer. We both do.
Kana: Papa...
Hinata: Kana, we know that you're growing and that you want more responsibilities. And we know that you're going to grow up to be a fine young man someday. But for now...relax. Don't try to grow up too quickly.
Kana: OK. Thanks, Papa. I'll think real hard about everything you've said.
Hinata: Good. You know... I think it would be nice if you spent the night in with your mother. I'll go talk to her about it.
Kana: Wait! What about you?
Hinata: Wh-what?! No no no no no, I've got other thing—
Kana: But, Papa! Don't you want Mama and me to be happy? I thought you wanted me to enjoy my childhood... It's not much of a childhood without a papa...
Hinata: Well, when you put it like that... OK, OK. I'll let your mother know.
Kana: Yaaay!
Hinata: *sigh* Sometimes I'm not sure which one of us gives the orders around here. ...A night in with the family, eh? You know, it doesn't sound all that bad. In fact, I think I kind of like it.

Hinata: Shigure, are you painting again?
Shigure: Hello, Father. Sorry I didn't hear you come in. I know this is no time for painting, since we're at war and all.
Hinata: Hahaha! Stop fretting! I'm not here to scold you. I'm just a common swordsman, not an art critic. But I love your paintings. Who knows? If you keep practicing, maybe one day you could be a great artist.
Shigure: That's very kind of you to say, but I don't think I'm that skilled.
Hinata: You're a great kid, but where is your ambition? Don't waste your talent! Leave it to me. I'm going to help you become a great artist!
Shigure: What do you mean?
Hinata: Shhh, I'm trying to think. Hmmm... I've got it! How about we throw a big solo exhibition for all of your work?
Shigure: A-an exhibition? I could never do that! Besides, our troops are on the advance. The setup alone would be way more work than it's worth.
Hinata: No way! I don't think it will be that tough. All we have to do is rent a tent and announce it to the troops and villagers.
Shigure: B-but it seems so vain to reserve a whole tent just for my personal use.
Hinata: You know how your mom's songs help people relax? I really think your paintings might have the same power. This could benefit the whole community. Don't you think?
Shigure: I'm not sure...
Hinata: Hey, I'm not going to force you. But what do you think? Want to give it a shot?
Shigure: OK, fine... Maybe we should give the exhibition a try. But I have to admit that the idea makes me a little anxious.
Hinata: Don't be! Everyone is going to love it! Let's strike while the iron's hot. I'll go to town and recruit some helpers. I'll be back with some good news soon!
(Hinata leaves)
Shigure: Thank you, Father.

Shigure: Hello, Father...
Hinata: Oh, hey, Shigure! Say, you look a little sad. What's wrong?
Shigure: Well... You've done so much to make this exhibition a possibility. I just wanted to say thanks.
Hinata: Trust me, I haven't done anything special. The townsfolk have been doing most of the legwork. They're all excited for the show! Things are coming together quickly. And it's all because of you!
Shigure: O-oh, I see...
Hinata: Are you feeling nervous, Shigure?
Shigure: Of course. But mostly I'm concerned about my newest painting. It's just not coming together like I hoped it would.
Hinata: Is this the one you're working on just for the exhibition? Don't get me wrong—I'd love to see a new painting. But we're running out of time. Do you really need to finish it right now? You could always finish it after the show.
Shigure: I promised myself that I would get it done. So many people have come together to give me this opportunity. And the final piece really unites the show. I have to keep going.
Hinata: Well, it is your exhibition. I'll leave you to do what you think is best. Just do me a favor and don't push yourself too hard. All this hard work will be pointless if you make yourself sick.
Shigure: I'll be careful. Thank you, Father. I should probably get back to painting.
Hinata: Good luck!

Hinata: Shigure's exhibition has finally begun! Time to take a peek inside. WOW! This is incredible! Look at the size of this crowd! Judging by the reactions, it seems like everyone loves the paintings! Good for you, Shigure! Wait, where is he? How could he be missing the show?
Shigure: *pant*...*pant*...
Hinata: Son! Why are you out of breath? Are you just now getting here? The exhibition has already begun. I can't believe that you're late!
Shigure: Sorry about that, Father. I've been up all night finishing my painting.
Hinata: ALL NIGHT?! Just for one more painting?!
Shigure: Y-yes...
Hinata: I just don't get it. Why would you do something so reckless? If you had made yourself ill, all this effort would have been pointless! Aren't there enough paintings on display? Take a look around. Can't you see how happy everyone is with your work?
Shigure: I see that. But I promised myself that I would complete it, no matter what. I made this because I'm thankful for everything you've done for me, Father.
Hinata: What?! Th-this is your mom...and me?
Shigure: Yes, it is...
Hinata: This is what you've spent all your time working on?
Shigure: Yes, Father. My love for you two cannot be measured. You brought me into this world. Without you, I never would have been able to paint. So I wanted to put all those feelings into this portrait.
Hinata: I-I'm so surprised... This is so thoughtful. Thanks, Son! Your mother is going to be so happy when she sees this.
Shigure: It hurts when you hug me so tightly, haha!
Hinata: You make me so proud! No one could ask for a better kid!
Shigure: I feel exactly the same way. I'm so proud to be your son.
Hinata: I guess we're both lucky! Wait, this isn't the time to get sentimental. We've got to get this painting on the wall!
Shigure: Are you sure?
Hinata: Of course I am! An exhibit that doesn't display its finest piece is like a dojo without any warriors. We've got to put this where everyone can see it. Right, Shigure?
Shigure: Sure. You're right, Father!

Hinata: *huff* *puff* Not bad, Hisame! HIIIIIIIII-YAH!!
Hisame: Nng... *huff* *huff* Not bad yourself, Father!
Hinata: You know, it's been a few hours now. Aren't you getting just a little bit tired?
Hisame: Never! HAAAH!
Hinata: Whoa, hey! Sorry, Hisamaru! I didn't mean to drop you!
Hisame: Wait, what? Father...what did you say just now? When you dropped your sword.
Hinata: What? N-nothing! I said nothing!
Hisame: Father, I know you're lying.
Hinata: Grk. OK, OK. I said "Hisamaru." It's the name I gave my sword. But it's a secret, OK? So don't go telling anyone!
Hisame: ...You gave your sword a name?
Hinata: Hey! Stop looking at me like that!
Hisame: ...
Hinata: Look, every swordsman loves his sword! You can't deny that! Even you talk to yours when you're alone, right? We all do it! Well, giving it a name is no different. OK? So cut it out with the stink-eye!
Hisame: What? I've never spoken to my sword.
Hinata: WHAT?! Stinky cheeses! And you call yourself a samurai?
Hisame: I believe the one who deserves that question is you. Who but a child talks to inanimate objects?
Hinata: All samurai do, you big weirdo! You must not love your sword enough. No wonder your form is so sloppy!
Hisame: M-my form is fine! And you're the "weirdo" here!
Hinata: Hey! You can't talk to your father like that!
Hisame: What kind of name is "Hisamaru" anyway? Do you really not hear how moronic that sounds?
Hinata: What?! Moronic? Hmph. Never mind. You wouldn't get it.
Hisame: I should hope not, or I would fear for my sanity.
Hinata: Uh-huh. Looks like you've still got a lot to learn about being a swordsman. Anyways. Let's take a break. I'm pooped.

Hisame: Father. Do you have a moment?
Hinata: Gimblesnups! Oh. It's just you. What's up?
Hisame: ...Were you speaking to your sword just now?
Hinata: Hey, were you watching me? It's not nice to spy on people, ya know!
Hisame: I thought you would be embarrassed if I spoke up. It seems I was right. Besides, there's no need to hide it. I've seen you doing it before.
Hinata: O-oh. You have? That doesn't make me feel any better...
Hisame: In any case, I had a question. How long ago did you give your sword a name?
Hinata: Hm... I guess it wouldn't hurt to tell you. I named ol' Hisamaru back when you were born. Truth is, I named him for you.
Hisame: Me?
Hinata: Yeah. You know how we couldn't visit you very often when you were little? Well, I named my sword after you so you'd always be by my side.
Hisame: Father...
Hinata: I would've named it "Hisamemaru," but that's a mouthful.
Hisame: I...I had no idea.
Hinata: Huh? Uh, Hisame. Your face is a little red.
Hisame: No, it isn't.
Hinata: Awwwwww! You're not embarrassed, are ya?
Hisame: Of course not!
Hinata: Heh. OK, OK. Whatever you say, boss. What, you didn't think your old man loved you?
Hisame: I... Th-that's...
Hinata: So! Now that you know my sword's origins, what are you gonna name yours?
Hisame: No. No nononono. I know where you're going with this. No.
Hinata: Oh, come on. We can be matchies! C'mon! Lemme say hi to Hinamaru, there!

Hisame: Hey! Talk to me, not my sword! And that's STILL not its name!
Hinata: Nyah-nah! You can't make me stop! I'll start saying it super loud, all the time, in front of eeeevvvvveryone.
Hisame: Do what you like. But you will never hear that name escape my lips. I swear it.
Hinata: Geez, you're stubborn. How'd you get like this?
Hisame: Are you truly so dense?
Hinata: Wuh?
Hisame: You said you named your sword after me, so you would always feel I was by your side.
Hinata: Right.
Hisame: Well, then there's no need for that now. I'm here.
Hinata: Hm?
Hisame: My sword doesn't need a name. You are already by my side at all times.
Hinata: Heh. Haha. Hahahaha! You really are the most adorable kid ever, aren't you? Oh gods, you're just the sweetest little boy I ever did see.
Hisame: H-hey! What are you laughing about?! I was being serious, you stupid—
Hinata: No, no, don't get me wrong. I'm not laughing AT you. I'm just very happy. There ain't a father in the world who wouldn't be after that!
