Springfield: ......
Student 1: Um, excuse me. Are you perhaps lost?
Springfield: ...! Ah... yes, I am...
Student 1: What place are you looking for?
Springfield: U-Um... the dorms...
Student 2: Ah, okay. The dorms are in that direction. This is the central building, so go that way, and they’ll be straight ahead.
Student 1: Please come to us if you’re in trouble again, Noble Musketeer!
Springfield: ...thank you very much.
Springfield: ...*sigh*
Springfield: (I need to remember where everything is around here... I can’t keep bothering everyone...)
*scene changes to the dorm common area*
Springfield: ......
Kentucky: Oh, Springy. Just in time!
Springfield: Huh...? Ah, it’s you, Kentucky. And you, Pennsylvania-san, and Master...
Pennsylvania: We were just speaking with (Player Name)... See, the two of us are heading back to America for a bit.
Springfield: To America...? Why...?
Kentucky: A mission, of course. That Russell guy said we were the best fit for the job since we’re the most familiar with the country.
Pennsylvania: You’re kinda fragile, Springy, so... it’s better if you don’t push yourself too hard... right?
Springfield: ...yes...
Kentucky: C’mon, don’t make that face! We’ll be back in no time, got it? Look forward to some souvenirs.
Springfield: Y-Yeah...
Kentucky: Look after Springy for us, Master. You already know he’s pretty delicate... so keep an eye on him so he doesn’t overdo it!
Master:
• Understood.
• Leave it to me.
Pennsylvania: Well then, Master, Springfield... we’ll be back.
*Pennsylvania and Kentucky leave*
Springfield: ......
Master:
• You’ll miss them, huh?
• Are you okay?
Springfield: ...I’m... I’m alright.
Master:
• Still...
• Don’t push yourself.
Springfield: ...I really am alright, so...
Springfield: I don’t need to trouble you, Master. My body is fine, and I can handle things for myself.
*Springfield’s stomach growls loudly*
Springfield: Ah...
Springfield: Th-That sound j-just now, it was—
Springfield: I-I’m sorry... I-I’ll go and find some food in the forest or something...!
Master:
• Wait!
• Let’s go to the cafeteria.
Springfield: Huh...?
*scene changes to the cafeteria*
Springfield: There are so many people here...
Springfield: ...ah, over there, that’s...
Arisaka: ......
Springfield: ...what are you doing?
Arisaka: Arisaka is tidying up his dishes. He ate curry rice today.
Springfield: Curry rice...
Arisaka: ...are you going to eat? If you are, you should buy a meal ticket over there.
Springfield: Meal ticket?
Arisaka: It’s the piece of paper that comes out when you put money in that box.
Arisaka: If you hand the paper to the “lunch lady”, she’ll give you a meal
Springfield: Is that so... a meal... Thank you for teaching me.
Arisaka: It was nothing. By the way, today’s dessert is apple pie. It was crispy, and Arisaka enjoyed it.
Springfield: Apple pie...!
Arisaka: ...Springfield. That was the first time Arisaka has seen that expression on you. Do you like it?
Springfield: ...yes. I really do...
Arisaka: In that case, Arisaka thinks that you should ask for dessert as well.
Springfield: Thank you. ...I’ll go do that.
*Springfield gets his food*
Springfield: ......
Springfield stares down at the steaming curry rice and the slice of apple pie.
Master:
• Are you going to eat?
• Go ahead.
Springfield: Yes. U-Um, I’ll eat now...
???: Master!
Marks: So you were here. Kyoudou is asking for you.
Springfield: ......
Marks: ...hm? You aren’t busy right now, are you?
Springfield: No... Please go, Master. I’ll be alright.
Marks: I see. Let’s go, then, Master.
Springfield: ......
Marks: What’s wrong? Do you need Master to stay?
Springfield: No! Nothing like that.
Marks: Master seems to be worried about you, though.
Springfield: It’s alright, please just go. I’m not that helpless... am I?
Master:
• Alright.
• Call me if anything happens.
Springfield: I will.
Marks: Let’s go, then. I was told that there’s someone who’s skipping out on remedial lessons—
*Master and Marks leave*
Springfield: ......
Springfield: Thank you for the food...
Springfield: .........
Springfield pokes into the apple pie with his fork. The crust crunches pleasantly underneath it.
Alone in a cafeteria crowded with people, Springfield puts a bite of pie into his mouth.
Springfield: ......?
Springfield: (...how strange. I’ve always loved the taste of apple pie... but today... it has no flavor...?)
Springfield: (I wonder why that is...)
