Scene 72

Oh, there she is!

What happened, Cecilia? I went to meet you but you weren't there! Are you alright?

Cecilia

Ah, Klein! I'm so sorry! I had an urgent thing that I needed to do, and I just couldn't make it...

Cecilia

I thought we might miss each other if I went to the meeting point late, so I decided to wait for you here instead!

Ahhh, I see! So you weren't attacked by a monster after all!

Cecilia

N-No... I was in town the whole time...

Cecilia

So, a monster appeared?

Cecilia

I thought it'd be a good place to meet because I go there often to pick herbs...

Cecilia

But maybe I was wrong... Are you hurt?

Oh, no, not at all! I'm just glad nothing bad happened to you.

Cecilia

Um, well... There's actually something else I need to apologize for...

Oh? What's up?

Cecilia

Well, it's about the money you lent me... Things have changed, and I'm afraid I can't pay you back yet... But I swear the money's coming!

Y-Yeah, sure, no worries! Don't sweat it—just give it to me whenever you can, alright?

Cecilia

Oh, thank you so much! In that case, see ya later!

Right... See ya!

See? It's like I said. Totally trustworthy, right?

I knew it—there's no way someone as sweet as her could be up to no good.

Okay, well... Yeah, sure she didn't pay like she said she would... But look on the bright side—we got to see Cecilia again!
