Alear x Chloé



C Support:

Alear:
Chloé: Hehehe, you’re so adorable when you sleep, Divine One.
Alear: Huh?!
Chloé: Oh, good morning. Did I wake you?
Alear: Were you watching me sleep? Again?!
Chloé: Yes. Sorry about that.
Alear: You should just leave me be if I nod off while I’m sitting outside.
Alear: It’s unnerving to wake up on your own and find someone staring at you.
Chloé: Oh, I never mean to do that, Divine One.
Chloé: But you slept for a thousand years, just like a character from a fairy tale.
Chloé: Your sleeping form is so heavenly that I can’t help staring at it.
Alear: I get that. But I still must have been a ridiculous sight, sleeping here of all places.
Chloé: Oh, no! Not at all.
Chloé: But I have a compromise in mind. Hear me out.
Chloé: If I’m always there when you wake up, maybe you’ll get used to it and it won’t be so startling.
Chloé: All we’d have to do is set up an extra bed for me in your chamber.
Alear: Nope! Not doing that!
Chloé: Oh dear. Shot down…

B Support:

Chloé: You slept for a thousand years.
Chloé: And when you woke, you were thrust into battle against the forces of evil.
Chloé: You’re the absolute picture of a fairy-tale hero!
Alear: Uh…am I?
Chloé: Oh yes. One doesn’t meet people as extraordinary as you every day.
Chloé: Yours is not the average person’s life. You are fated for exhilaration and excitement!
Chloé: Oh, how I wish it were mine…
Alear: I don’t know…
Chloé: What? Why not?
Alear: There are many burdens I must bear, and while I don’t regret this life…
Alear: You’re absolutely right that my days will never be considered average.
Alear: Sometimes, average seems like it might not be so bad.
Chloé: Oh. I’m really sorry about that. I was just so swept up in my own desire for a fairy-tale life…
Chloé: I didn’t stop to consider how someone already living one might feel.
Alear: You don’t have to apologize, Chloé. I know you didn’t mean anything by it.
Chloé: I still feel a little guilty, though.
Chloé: Oh, I know! I’ll bring you a special, delicious treat as an apology.
Chloé: There’s this rare, pickled, deep-sea fish I’ve been into. It’s sour enough to knock you flat!
Chloé: I’ll go fetch some right now. You’re gonna love it!
Alear: No need! Really! I’m getting queasy enough just picturing it!

A Support:

Alear: You know, I’ve noticed how often you bring up your wish to live a fairy-tale life…
Chloé: Uh-huh. I’ve wanted that for myself ever since I was a child.
Chloé: I was born into a noble family. Everything in my life was planned out for me by my parents.
Chloé: My role as a noble daughter was to get married and then devote myself to my partner’s family.
Chloé: They wouldn’t even let me eat the street food I love so much.
Chloé: It wasn’t ordinary for a noble girl. I hated every part of that life.
Alear: I had no idea.
Chloé: The life I wanted for myself was free, thrilling, and very out of the ordinary.
Alear: I didn’t mean to stir up so many painful memories, Chloé.
Chloé: Oh, it’s OK. They’re just memories. And my dream came true when I got to be a knight.
Chloé: Meeting Princess Céline─and you─let me live the kind of life I always fantasized about.
Chloé: Isn’t fighting alongside the Divine Dragon and the royal family better than any fairy tale?
Alear: When you put it like that, you might be right.
Chloé: I wonder if they’ll tell stories about this war someday.
Alear: It’s certainly possible. And when they do…
Alear: I wouldn’t be surprised if you ended up as a major character in them.
Chloé: What?! I…never thought about that. But it’s a nice idea!
Chloé: I must become the kind of virtuous knight little kids aspire to be when they hear the story.
Alear: You’re already well on your way there, Chloé.
Chloé: Haha, thanks, Divine One.

S Support:

Alear: I think you’ve been rubbing off on me, Chloé.
Chloé: I have? How?
Alear: Just like you wish for a fairy-tale life, I’ve been thinking about a dream life of my own.
Chloé: Well, I think that’s wonderful!
Chloé: Now that you have an idea of what your dream is, you can start to make it real.
Alear: It might not be that simple.
Alear: There are parts of this dream I can’t fulfill by myself.
Chloé: What else do you need?
Alear: You, Chloé.
Chloé: Me?!
Alear: When I think about the life I want after the war, it feels hollow if you’re not in it somewhere.
Alear: And if you’re the hero of your own fairy tale, I want to be your supporting character.
Chloé: Oh my goodness…
Alear: If you feel the same way, then I hope you’ll accept this gift.
Alear: I saved it just for you.
Chloé: This is the Pact Ring…
Alear: You were right when you said that mine is not the average person’s life.
Alear: And it may be a lot to ask for you to share in that life, knowing it won’t be ordinary.
Alear: But I had to know.
Chloé: You had only to ask, .
Chloé: I never wanted an ordinary life. The chance to see myself in your story…
Chloé: I can’t think of a happier ending than that.
Alear: Well?
Chloé: Of course I’ll wear the ring. And I’ll be right there, building your dream along with you.
Alear: Thank you, Chloé.
Chloé: Today is the opening chapter of the tale of the Divine One and me. A story for the ages!
