The Search for Food Is Full of Dangers!?
El Greco's Birthday 4★ story (3/3) ( 1 - 2 - 3 )
Location: kitchen (morning) | Characters: El Greco, Van Gogh, Munch, Mucha, Aoi/MC
Aoi: Happy birthday, El Greco-kun!
El Greco: Ah…
(My birthday has finally arrived…)
Aoi: … What's wrong, El Greco-kun? You've been fidgeting for a while…
El Greco: … Everyone didn't come back. I feel like I've had a block of ice pressed against my back since yesterday.
Aoi: … Uhm… You mean you've been anxious? Right?
El Greco: I've never felt this way before. I've been trying to avoid contact with other people my whole life. I never thought someone could be such a big part of me…
Aoi: El Greco-kun…
Munch: We're baaaack!
El Greco: !
Van Gogh: Hubert! Here! We brought the ingredients! Cook them noooow!
El Greco: …! Did you really… get them?
Munch: Yeah! Because it's a celebration, right? It's your birthday, Niko-chan! We wanted to do it the way you do it at home!
El Greco: … Ah!
Van Gogh: Wowoah!?
Munch: Mmmmh, it's painful if you squeeze me like thaaat~
El Greco: I'm so glad you're back safe and sound… I'm really… really…
Mucha: I apologize for any concern we may have caused you. But as you can see, we have returned without any injuries.
Van Gogh: Yeah. We managed to get some difficult ingredients through Mucha-san's contacts.
Munch: Yeah yeaaah~
El Greco: I… I kept thinking, what if you didn't come back? No matter how wonderful my birthday is, it would've been meaningless if I didn't have everyone… my friends. To me, you guys are like a snail that met a tomato…!
Munch: You thought so much of us, didn't you…!
Mucha: … I see, I felt like I was able to learn the words of El Greco-kun's hometown once again.
El Greco: It's not just the words. You will also get to know the celebratory dishes from now on. I'll have to teach Hubert how to make them.
Munch: I wanna help toooo~
Van Gogh: Yeah, me too!
Mucha: Fufu. Then I would like to learn what it is like as well.
—
Aoi: So that's how this dish was made.
El Greco: Yeah.
… How nostalgic. The last time I ate it was the day I left my hometown.
Van Gogh: You celebrated… the day you left your hometown?
El Greco: When I left as an artist, everyone had my back. Like pouring water on a dry frog…
Munch: They told you to do your best!
El Greco: Even back then, they went through a lot of trouble to make this dish. I really missed it.
Mucha: It may not match the hard work of those in your hometown, but how is the taste?
El Greco: It's the most delicious food I have ever eaten.
… Let me thank you again. Thank you.
Munch: C'mooon! Don't squeeze me too tight again, Niko-chaaaan~
Van Gogh: It's kind of embarrassing to be hugged by El Greco-san… Hehehe.
El Greco: I don't know how else to express my gratitude. It's too difficult for me to put these feelings into words…
Munch: Just speak your hometown language like you always do! That's what my friends say too!
El Greco: … I don't know if I'll be able to say it very well, but can I say it?
Munch: Yeah, you can!
El Greco: …
… Thank you for the best birthday ever. I'm glad to have made friends with you all. I'm so glad to have met you all…!

The Search for Food Is Full of Dangers!?
El Greco's Birthday 4★ story (2/3) ( 1 - 2 - 3 )
Location: terrace (morning) ; entrance (morning) | Characters: El Greco, Van Gogh, Munch, Mucha, Aoi/MC
Munch: …?
Mucha: It is necessary to make preparations for the possibility of losing your life... What in the world?
El Greco: In order to celebrate, auspicious ingredients must be gathered from all over the region. First, a deep-sea fish born on a full moon. Second, mushrooms that grow only on cliffs. And third, fragrant herbs that blooms for only one day in a forest where there is no sunlight.
Van Gogh: Those ingredients are eventually cooked…?
El Greco: Yeah. Then you make a celebratory dish with them. To wish for future success, family prosperity and long life.
Mucha: I see…
Van Gogh: Hmmm… I see… What do we do…
Munch: Sounds like a lot of work, doesn't it…?
El Greco: (Why are the three of them worried…?)
Mucha: … Speaking of which, is it not about time for your schedule, Van Gogh-san?
Van Gogh: Huh? Schedule?
… Ah! R-Right! I have very important plans!
El Greco: Is that so?
Mucha: As I recall, so did Munch-san. So I guess that is all for now.
El Greco: I see. If you have any more questions, just ask.
Mucha: Yes. Thank you very much for your valuable talk.
Van Gogh: Fish, mushrooms, herbs… Mumble mumble…
Munch: Hmm, hmm… It's so hard to celebrate Niko-chan…
El Greco: (...?)
—
El Greco: (I wonder if what we talked about the other day helped everyone to be more creative. It seemed like the atmosphere was different than usual…)
(... Ah, that one over there is…)
Van Gogh: Well then, let's go!
Munch: We're goiiiing!
Aoi: Yes, be careful. See you lateeer.
El Greco: Where are you two going?
Van Gogh: Ah!
Munch: Hehehe, look forward to your birthday tomorrow! Niko-chan!
El Greco: Birthday…. Ah, mine…? But what does that have to do with…?
Munch: We're going to look for some things! But we can't tell you any moreee!
Bye bye!
El Greco: … Okay.
Aoi: They're gone… I can't believe they both went away for your birthday. Are they planning on going to look for a gift that they can't get around here?
El Greco: …!
If that's what they intend to do, we must stop them immediately.
Aoi: Huh, w-what's wrong?
El Greco: There's no time to relax and see them off…!
Aoi: Calm down, El Greco-kun. Sure, they're both still… children, but I heard that Mucha-san will be accompanying them. If they go far away to buy something, they'll come back safely.
El Greco: (But what if what everyone else is thinking is exactly what I'm thinking?)
–The three of them may lose their lives. Can you still say the same?
Aoi: No way, that's an exaggeration.
El Greco: That's how terrible it is to collect the ingredients for a celebration. With or without someone accompanying them, I don't know if they will ever come back…!
Aoi: …? If they're collecting ingredients for a celebration, I'm sure there's even less danger…
El Greco: No, I'm going to stop them now.
Aoi: W-Wait a second!
El Greco: Why did you stop me?
Aoi: Everyone went out to celebrate your birthday. So let's just wait, shall we? Maybe they're preparing a surprise for you they want to keep hidden…
El Greco: (... Uh, I just need to wait…?)
Aoi: Oh, right. I needed your help with something. Could you give me a hand with this?
El Greco: … Alright.
(Everyone, please come back safe and sound…)

The Search for Food Is Full of Dangers!?
El Greco's Birthday 4★ story (1/3) ( 1 - 2 - 3 )
Location: dormitory hallway (morning) ; terrace (morning) | Characters: El Greco, Van Gogh, Munch, Mucha
El Greco: (It was raining yesterday, but it's much clearer today… With this, I think I can draw a picture that looks like it was carved out of stone. I'll head for the garden.)
(...?)
Van Gogh: –That's what I mean…
Munch: I'll be sure not to tell Niko-chan!
El Greco: (... Are they talking about me?)
Mucha: I see, if that is the case– oh?
El Greco: !
Munch: Ah! Niko-chan!
El Greco: … Sorry, I heard you talking.
Van Gogh: Uh, uuuuh!?
El Greco: However, I didn't hear what you were saying. I think just my name…
Munch: Really? That's all you heard…?
El Greco: ? Yeah.
Mucha: … Actually, we were talking about your hometown.
El Greco: ? My hometown?
Mucha: I was being consulted by these two if I knew more about it.
Van Gogh: Uhm, Mucha-san…
Mucha: However, I just told them I was unable to help them.
Van Gogh: !
Mucha: We were talking about the possibility of having you tell us about it directly.
El Greco: Talking about my hometown, huh? I don't mind, but... Why all of a sudden?
Munch: Well you see, it's because it'll be your birt–
Mucha: You never know where inspiration for art will come from, do you? Hearing about cultures and lands that you are not normally exposed to will inspire you to create… am I right, Van Gogh-san?
Van Gogh: Y-Yeah! You're right, Mucha-san! That's why…
El Greco: (Sure, that's one way to think of it.)
As for me, I feel like a bee to honey when people are interested in my hometown.
Munch: I didn't think you'd be that happy, Niko-chan! You must be so excited!
Mucha: Then it is decided. I will leave you to it.
El Greco: Yeah.
—
El Greco: –there's a custom like that.
Van Gogh: Oooooh…!
Munch: What else do you have? Tell me moreee!
El Greco: (I didn't think they would bite me like this… I don't think I've told them anything that special.)
In addition to our customs, there are many "things that are believed". For example, "if you see a rainbow over an olive tree, you won't get sick".
Van Gogh: If that wouldn't make me sick, I'd be looking for rainbows in the olive trees every day.
El Greco: Yeah.
Munch: Then, how about a rainbow on the moon? I see them sometimeees.
El Greco: On the moon… no, not that one in particular. If you're talking about caterpillars that live on the moon–
Mucha: I see that there are a number of things that are different from here. Are celebrations and such different from here as well?
Van Gogh: ! Ah, I want to hear about it too!
El Greco: Celebrations, huh…
(... Should I tell them about that? But that's…)
Munch: Niko-chan, what's wrong? You look displeased?
El Greco: … It's the skin of a chopped apple.
Munch: Ah! Is it the kind of story that scares people…?
Mucha: It is not nice if it is scary. Could you please tell us as much as you can?
El Greco: … Alright. Celebrations in my hometown are… very hard to prepare. If it's not done well, they can be started more than a year in advance.
Van Gogh: That early…?
El Greco: Yeah.
–Otherwise, it could cost you your life.

The Sports Day Is A Dangerous Event!?
El Greco's Sports Day 3★ story (2/2) ( 1 - 2 )
Location: entertainment room (morning) ; entrance (morning) ; garden (morning) ; kitchen (morning) | Characters: El Greco, Renoir, Watteau, Aoi/MC
El Greco: (Through exercise, I must showcase my appeal to the fullest extent…)
I see… So the Sports Day is an event that can attract women.
Renoir: Yes yes, something like that, I guess.
El Greco: Thank you. Thanks to the two of you, the black paint seemed to have disappeared. I will make sure to thank you for this.
Watteau: If ya wanna thank me, I'd like to have a girl's contact info. If there's any good girls at the Sports Day, please bring me that!
El Greco: That's... I wonder if I can promise you that…
Watteau: Uh? Why?
El Greco: …
(Attracting women requires a certain amount of effort. … No, it's not just that. If you go that far to win a woman's heart, it comes with a certain amount of responsibility as well.)
(Sports Day… I had no idea such a daunting event existed… Now that I think of it, that time…)
~~~
Da Vinci: Sorry to interrupt your enthusiasm, but I do not think artists need to appreciate exercise.
Michelangelo: I wanna go back to my room…
El Greco: What you will gain by facing your own heart will be invaluable.
Munch: I also want to concentrate on my own work. I haven't made any progress at all…
Bazille: I'll pass. I'm not particularly good at sports.
~~~
El Greco: (It's true that I want to concentrate on my own work, so I said that at the time, but… Everyone else was reluctant, too. Did they know what the Sports Day was like? And what about the deputy director? What if she loses her heart to a barbaric man…)
Watteau: El Greco? Ya suddenly went quiet, what's wrong?
El Greco: … I know.
Renoir: Hm?
El Greco: I now know how much of a beastly event the Sports Day is. Perhaps the deputy director doesn't know much about it.
(Otherwise, she wouln't have given her own permission.)
I'm going to tell the deputy director that it's an event full of beasts!
Watteau: An event full of beasts… Sigh, was there some kinda misunderstanding?
Renoir: But it's fine, isn't it?
Watteau: Well, we didn't say anythin' wrong! Let's continue playin' billiards, then!
—
El Greco: Deputy director!
… She's not here. I figured she'd be here by this time…
—
El Greco: Deputy director, are you here!? Uh, she's not here either… I have to tell her as soon as possible.
(She's nowhere to be found. The only place left is…)
—
El Greco: Deputy director!
Aoi: Woah!? Y-You scared me…. What's wrong, El Greco-kun?
El Greco: You need to withdraw from the field day immediately. That is an event full of wild beasts.
Aoi: Uh… Wild beasts?
El Greco: Watteau and Renoir told me…
—
El Greco: … and a beast is waiting for us. For the sake of your own safety, you should decline.
Aoi: Attracting girls…
… Pfft, hahaha! It's okay, the Sports Day isn't that kind of event.
El Greco: Is… that so? But Watteau and Renoir…
Aoi: Watteau-kun's desire to be popular with girls may have been the reason for such an explanation. The Sports Day is an event where people are divided into a red group and a white group and compete to see who will win. You don't have to charm girls or steal hearts, so don't worry, okay?
El Greco: Is that so… if that's the case, then good.
(I'm still not ready to go to the Sports Day… But I've confirmed that the deputy director is safe, so that's fine for now.)

The Sports Day Is A Dangerous Event!?
El Greco's Sports Day 3★ story (1/2) ( 1 - 2 )
Location: study (morning) ; entertainment room (morning) | Characters: El Greco, Renoir, Watteau
El Greco: (The owner and Giotto said it was a "Sports Day". In my hometown, there was no culture of sports day. If I understood the name correctly, I think it's "a group meeting to exercise"... It would be a good idea to check before the event to make sure that it is really correct.)
(... Maybe there's a book about Sports Day in the study?)
Let's see if I can find it for now.
—
El Greco: It's not here either…
(I didn't think there wasn't a book about Sports Day…)
~~~
Giotto: Now now, don't say that. It's important to move your body once in a while, right? It clears your head and, most importantly, builds up physical strength. Painting ain't only a matter of skill and taste, sometimes it's also a matter of physical strength.
~~~
El Greco: (As I thought earlier, the Sports Day should not be mistaken for an exercise meeting. However…)
… I feel like I've been covered in black paint.
(Munch said he was going out with his friends. Then... There's probably somebody over there.)
—
Watteau: Yayyy! I got the nine ball in the pocket!
Renoir: As expected from you, Watteau. It was a difficult one, yet you got it in one shot.
Watteau: Weeeell, a guy who can play billiards is cool, right? If I wanna be popular with girls, I should at least polish my skills!
Renoir: And did you manage to get a girl? You've been practicing for quite some time.
Watteau: … Don't ask me that kinda questiooon!
El Greco: …
Watteau: Oh, it's El Greco! It's unusual for ya to come to the entertainment room.
Renoir: Oh, you look a little gloomy, what's wrong? If it's okay with us, we'll listen to what you have to say.
El Greco: Ah… Actually, I have a question for both of you.
Watteau: What is it, what is it? My personal tips about how to be popular with women? Ya finally fell in love?
El Greco: Tips about how to be popular…? No, it's not that…
What is… a Sports Day…?
Renoir: A Sports Day…?
El Greco: I'm supposed to participate in it with Giotto and the others, but in my hometown we don't have a culture of Sports Day.
Watteau: I see! So ya wanna know what it's like! The Sports Day is, well, what the name says…! It's an event that will make ya irresistible to girls if ya play your part!
El Greco: Irresistible to girls…?
(I didn't get that image from the way Giotto and the others were talking about it… Since Watteau is saying it so confidently, it's probably true.)
I see… Then what do you do there?
Renoir: Fufu, you run, pull the rope and roll balls.
El Greco: Is… Is that all?
Renoir: Yeah, it’s a lazy explanation, but that's about it.
El Greco: …
I'm still covered in black paint…
Watteau: Wait wait, Renoir! I think ya need to be more specific, dontcha think? El Greco's in trouble!
Renoir: Hmmm, I explained it to him in a very careless way. Then why don't you explain it to him, Watteau?
Watteau: Aight, leave it to me!
Listen, girls find guys who can exercise attractive. Appeal to girls through exercise! This is the most important thing at the Sports Day!
El Greco: Appeal…?
Renoir: Fufu, it means being appealing to the public.
Watteau: And if ya make the girls fall in love with ya, ya win! Then exchange contact information or invite 'em out to dinner and you're good to go!
El Greco: I see…

How to Bring Happiness
El Greco's Peaceful Tea Time 3★ story (2/2) ( 1 - 2 )
Location: café 2 (morning) | Characters: El Greco, Aoi/MC
Aoi: (...? Why are we at the café…)
El Greco: …
Aoi: Ah! What happened all of a sudden? It's dangerous to stop suddenly in a store.
El Greco: I came here to bring happiness, but... I haven't been to many places like this. I was always following someone else. What should I do if I get in first?
Aoi: Huh…?
(I certainly don't think El Greco-kun would voluntarily come to a place like this…)
You can sit wherever you want. How about that seat over there at the back?
El Greco: Understood. If you say so, then that must be the sanctuary we're looking for. Let's bring happiness immediately. The sooner the better.
Aoi: O-Okay.
(It's as if a ritual is about to begin. Suddenly the café looks different from usual…)
—
El Greco: …
Aoi: Have you decided on the menu yet?
El Greco: I don't know which one is which. It's like seeing different slug marks.
Aoi: (He said he wouldn't come here voluntarily and usually ordered the same thing as someone else.)
Well, why don't you have the same cake set as me? I always order that when I come here.
El Greco: … Forgive me.
Aoi: Hm? Why are you apologizing?
El Greco: It's because I, who should be the one protecting you, ended up relying on you instead. I don't know what I came here for…
Aoi: No, don't worry about it. You don't have to think too hard about protecting me. It's just a matter of having tea at a cafe on the way back home from shopping.
El Greco: …
Aoi: (I know El Greco-kun came here to bring happiness and ward off evil spirits. … But he's so kind. He's trying to protect me from something dangerous…)
—
Clerk: Thank you for your patience. These are your two cake sets.
Aoi: Thank you very much. Here you go, El Greco-kun.
El Greco: … Yeah.
Aoi: Well then, let's get right to it... Bon appétit.
… Mmh! It's delicious, after all…! Fufufu, I like the cakes here. I don't get to come here to eat very often.
El Greco: … Ah, good to know.
Aoi: Hm?
El Greco: … It seems that this has brought you happiness. You won't have to worry about being attacked by evil spirits anymore.
Aoi: Really? Then I'm relieved.
El Greco: It's like the sun at the dawn of a new year. It's pleasant to see. If only I had a piece of paper and a brush here, I would surely have completed a new painting.
Aoi: Uhm…?
El Greco: To me, that face right now looks like an island flying in the sky after rain.
Aoi: … Uhm, thanks for the compliment?
El Greco: Yeah.
Aoi: (T-Thank goodness. I wondered what I would've done if he had said it wasn't a compliment.)
… I don't often experience being praised with a straight face, it's a bit embarrassing.
El Greco: …?
Aoi: No, it's nothing. Come on, El Greco-kun, eat, eat.
(Maybe I understand what he means when he say it brings me happiness. Because I'm kind of having a lot of fun right now…)

How to Bring Happiness
El Greco's Peaceful Tea Time 3★ story (1/2) ( 1 - 2 )
Location: shop (morning) ; city (morning) | Characters: El Greco, Aoi/MC
El Greco: …
Aoi: (...? He's been looking at his hands for a while…)
If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to let me know.
El Greco: … Ah, no. It's not that I want it. I just found it nostalgic. The color of this paint.
Aoi: The enamel blue?
(By nostalgic, does he mean… the color of the sea back home?)
El Greco: In deeper places, the color becomes like "the color of night melting into the ocean". When bubbles are mixed in, it becomes a little brighter.
Aoi: Night melting into the ocean... That's a very poetic way to put it.
El Greco: Other than that, this one is "the color of the setting sun in the shadows" and this one is "the color of a smile".
Aoi: Ooooh…
El Greco: I don't know this color. It looks like the sole of a shoe on a winter morning. This color is also unusual. It looks like the leaves that collect the voices of the spirits.
Aoi: (I wonder what kind of color is that…)
El Greco: There's a lot to see here. It might be a good place to reminisce about home.
Aoi: It's nice that you have a place where you can cherish things like that. I'm a little jealous.
El Greco: Now I think of the museum as just as important as my hometown.
Aoi: Thank you. If you think so, then I'm also happy.
El Greco: … So, is this all the shopping you need to do?
Aoi: Ah, right. I completely forgot my original purpose. Let's see, the other thing I was asked to get was–
—
Aoi: Thank you for carrying my bags. They're not too heavy, are they?
El Greco: Something like this is like doing a handstand on an icy pond.
Aoi: (It's fine… I hope that's what he means.)
! Woah!
El Greco: …!!!!
Aoi: That scared me. I wondered what had fallen, but it looked like a bird had dropped a nut…?
El Greco: … It's an evil spirit.
Aoi: Huh.
El Greco: The spirits are trying to tell us that evil spirits are present. That one just now was a sign.
Aoi: I-Is that so?
(I don't understand it at all, but he looks extremely serious…)
El Greco: You'd better stay close to me. ... We should also do a spell to avoid evil spirits.
Aoi: …! W-Why did you suddenly hold my hand…?
El Greco: Let's walk with our pinkies intertwined. That way, the little evil spirits will escape.
Aoi: Really…? Then… uhm, I'll leave you to it…
(I guess this is like a superstition. Like a black cat crossing in front of you or something… Is this bad news in El Greco's hometown?)
El Greco: If you don't grip it tighter, it won't make any sense. What will happen if you move away…
Aoi: ! Understood. Like… this?
El Greco: Yes, that's okay.
Aoi: I was a bit scared… but thank you. I hope this doesn't attract anything bad.
El Greco: …
If you think about the worst case scenario, this spell alone won't enough. It would be faster to bring happiness and keep the evil spirits away.
Aoi: Bring happiness? What does that mean?
El Greco: Over here.
Aoi: Uh, ah, w-wait a second…!

The Bonds of The Soul
El Greco's initial 4★ story (3/3) ( 1 - 2 - 3 )
Location: park (morning) | Characters: El Greco, Courbet, Munch, Aoi/MC
El Greco: ~~~♪ ~~~~~♪
Courbet: … Nothing is coming. I knew the ritual was a waste of time.
El Greco: Strange. The ritual should have been a success... Don't tell me we weren't grateful enough…?
Aoi: … Ah! Everyone, look! Butterflies are coming from over there…!
Courbet: There should be plenty of butterflies in the park. It would take a more obvious animal to determine–
Munch: Look Courbetti, look! Birds and cats are gathering from all over the place!
Courbet: W-What the hell!?
El Greco: …! You're back…
Little bird: Chirp chirp chirp~♪ chirp chirp chiiirp~♪
Cat: Meow meow meoooow~♪ meow meow meooooow meoooooow♪
Munch: Hahaha! Little birds and cats are singing along with Niko-chan!
Aoi: Rabbits and squirrels are waltzing over here...!
El Greco: The dance you are watching is a joyous dance. The assembled kins are expressing their gratitude to everyone.
Courbet: I can't believe it no matter how many times I've seen it, but I have to believe it... You seem to have the power to make the unreal real.
Munch: C'mooon! You're exaggerating, Courbetti.
Courbet: What do you mean I'm exaggerating? It would be too unrealistic to think that just singing would make animals come to you.
Munch: Really? I think it's normal!
Courbet: What part of it is normal…
Aoi: Well anyways, it's good to see El Greco-kun's kins back!
Munch: Yeah! Niko-chan looks happy and the ritual was a great success!
El Greco: Yeah. Courbet, Munch, deputy director. Let me thank you again. Now I can paint without any worries. All thanks to you guys.
Aoi: (Thank god…! El Greco-kun seems happy. This means it won't cause any delays in production.)
Munch: Right! I wanna draw Niko-chan's friends too! You want to paint too, Courbetti? Let's go get art supplies together!
Courbet: Yeah. We don't get a chance to gather this many small animals. By all means, let me sketch–
Munch: C'mon, c'mon! Quick Courbetti, quick! Mr. Little Bird, Mr. Cat and Nessie are waiting for you!
Courbet: H-Hey, wait, Munch! Don't pull me! … I mean, there's no such thing as Nessie!
Aoi: … They're gone.
El Greco: I'm surprised they would want to draw a picture of my kins... Look, deputy curator. My kins are happy.
Little bird: Chirp chirp chirp! Chirp chirp~♪
Cat: Meow meow meooow~!
Aoi: Fufu. They sound so happy. … But still, there are so many kins. Everyone looks happy to be back with you.
El Greco: Back in my hometown, more of my kins would gather. So many so that there would be no room for your feet.
Aoi: Even now I have no place to step foot, but to think there were more in your hometown…! Amazing… I might want to take a look.
El Greco: Do you like my kins, deputy director?
Aoi: I do. I like small and cute animals.
El Greco: I see. Then I'll invite you to the island someday. My kins say I should do so too.
Aoi: Oooh… Would that be okay?
El Greco: Yeah. You told me that you like my kins and since you're a dear friend of mine. … Here, this is a seal of promise.
Aoi: … Wow, what a beautiful shell!
El Greco: Cherry blossom-colored seashells bring good luck. It fits you like a rainbow after the rain.
Aoi: That's a very nice island custom. Thank you. But am I really allowed to take such a shell?
El Greco: Yeah. I want you to have it, Aoi. I've had enough happiness, now it's your turn.
Aoi: What do you mean?
El Greco: Not a single person had ever asked me about the island with pleasure until I came to this museum. I didn't even want to talk about it because I didn't think anyone would understand it in the first place. … But now it's different. I'm glad to be able to talk about the island to everyone here at the museum. I've changed my mind after meeting you guys. I'm happy to spend time with you, Munch and the others. I'm truly happy… I belong here.
Aoi: Fufu. I'm glad to hear you say so. Keep up the good work, El Greco-kun.
El Greco: Yeah. My pleasure. … If you have time, let me tell you about the island again.
Aoi: Yes. I look forward to it!

The Bonds of The Soul
El Greco's initial 4★ story (2/3) ( 1 - 2 - 3 )
Location: park (morning) | Characters: El Greco, Courbet, Munch, Aoi/MC
Munch: Niko-chan, what kind of ritual will we perfoorm?
El Greco: What we're about to perform is a traditional ritual of gratitude that is passed down on the island, the purpose of which is to connect the mind and body with the kins and become one with them.
Courbet: I don't get it… You need to be more specific, El Greco.
El Greco: We imitate them to show our gratitude to our kins, who are connected to us by a soul bond.
Courbet: Wha… You imitate animals!? Why should we do something like that!
El Greco: When one knows the feelings of their kins, flowers of gratitude will bloom from deep within the earth.
Courbet: Other difficult words… Hey, Munch. What is he saying?
Munch: He's saying that if you know your friends' thoughts and feelings, you will develop a deep sense of gratitude!
Courbet: A sense of gratitude… I get what you're saying… but imitating animals..
Aoi: N-Now now… If things continue as they are, El Greco-kun's painting won't be finished, so you should help us, Courbet-kun.
Courbet: … Sigh, guess I have no choice.
El Greco: Courbet, Munch, deputy director. Thank you. Then let's begin the ritual.
Munch: Okay! I'll be a little birdie then!
Pitter-patter pitter-patter…! Woof woof! Woof woof!
El Greco: Munch sure understands how my kins feel.
Courbet: What are you talking about!? That sound is probably a dog, no matter what you think!
El Greco: No, there were also birds who barked on the island. In this country they're called parrots… I think?
Aoi: Someone must have made them learn to make dog noises…
Munch: Pitter-patter pitter-patter! Woof woof! Woof woof!
Courbet: What the hell is this ritual…! Hey, El Greco! Don't tell me you want me to imitate that bird, too?
El Greco: No. I would like you to do another animal. Let's see… Would you mind imitating a rabbit for me?
Courbet: A rabbit…? What's his sound?
El Greco: They don't make sounds. They bounce. Here, I'll show you an example.
*jumps* Hah, hah, hah…!
Courbet: That's just a rabbit jump!
El Greco: Ah, I guess they call it the rabbit jump in this country, too. Then you know the drill. Imitate a rabbit.
Aoi: Courbet-kun… Do your best!
Courbet: W-Why do I have to jump like a rabbit…
… Ah! Fuck it!
*jumps* Phew, phew, phew…
El Greco: Courbet understands how rabbits feel, too. He's like a real rabbit.
Courbet: *jumps* Haah… haaah… ugh. Phew, phew, phew…
Aoi: (Courbet-kun is getting passionate about it... I hope he doesn't get muscle pain…)
El Greco: Now, as for you, deputy director… Right. I need you to imitate a cat.
Aoi: A-A cat!? U-Uhm… like this? M-Meow, meoooow…
El Greco: That's wrong. That's just an imitation of the sound of the cat. Become a cat with all your heart.
Aoi: R-Right…! Meoooow. Meow meoooow!
El Greco: It seems the deputy director is beginning to understand how cats feel. Cats make all kinds of noises, so it's important to know how to use them.
Aoi: U-Understood. Meoooow. Meoow meoow. Meoooooow!
El Greco: You're a great imitator of cats. You're just as good at being a cat as everyone else on the island.
Courbet: H-Hey… You let people do all the work and you do nothing? … Haah, haah.
Munch: Woof woof! What kind of friend will you be, Niko-chan?
El Greco: I'm about to imitate a fox. Watch me.
… Kon kon. Kon kon kooon.
Courbet: You're the most unmotivated of all! What's with your weird pose and monotone speech!
El Greco: …? What are you talking about? This is how a real fox should be. Kon kon.
Munch: Niko-chan's fox is very good!
Aoi: I-I don't know what El Greco-kun's standards are…
Courbet: What an odd coincidence, deputy director. I have no idea what that guy's standards are either.
El Greco: Kon kon koooon.
—
Munch: Aaaah, it was fun! I hope we can do it again togetheeer!
Courbet: Haaah… haaah… I-I can't take this anymore…
El Greco: Everyone, thank you. This should have conveyed the gratitude to my kins.
Courbet: Haaah… Will this really attract the animals?
Aoi: El Greco-kun. I brought your sketchbook. Do you want to try drawing something?
Munch: We all worked so hard on this, I'm sure they got the message! Niko-chan, hurry up and draw!
El Greco: … Yeah.
~~~♪ ~~~~~♪
Aoi: (I hope this brings El Greco-kun his animals…)

The Bonds of The Soul
El Greco's initial 4★ story (1/3) ( 1 - 2 - 3 )
Location: atelier 2 (morning) | Characters: El Greco, Courbet, Munch, Aoi/MC
Aoi: (It's a closing day, so I came to see how everyone was doing…)
Hey guys, how's the production going? Any problems?
Courbet: I'm good. At this pace, I should be able to submit the commissioned painting before the sun goes down.
Munch: Me too, I'm almost done! And Niko-chan… Huh?
El Greco: …
Aoi: What's wrong, El Greco-kun? It seems like you stopped painting…
El Greco: … Usually, my kins come to me, but today, not a single one of them has shown up.
Aoi: By "kins", you mean the animals that come to you when you're humming while painting, right?
El Greco: Exactly. I wonder where they have gone…
Courbet: It would be more normal if the animals didn't come. It's just too unrealistic. Besides, you're not using them as models, you can paint without them. So what's the big deal?
El Greco: No… I can't concentrate on my painting because I'm too worried about my kins.
Munch: It's so lonely when your friends don't come over... Cheer up, Niko-chan. See, Mr. Brush is worried about you, too, you know?
El Greco: I know. … However, this has never happened before. What on earth happened to them…?
Aoi: (Hmmm. El Greco-kun isn't doing well, that's a big problem. What should I do…?)
Courbet: Hey, deputy director. Is there any way to get El Greco to paint?
Aoi: Hmmm. At this rate, it will be difficult to bring back El Greco-kun's animals. … I know! They're animals, so if we leave food for them, they'll come back, right?
El Greco: Even if they come back, they're not my kins. I'm bound to them by a soul bond.
Aoi: Uhm… Does that mean that an animal who doesn't come up to you humming won’t be one of your kins?
El Greco: Exactly.
Courbet: Whatever you're trying to lure, it'll probably be the same animal. What the hell is the difference…
Munch: But why did Niko-chan's friends suddenly stop coming? Maybe they all went back to Niko-chan's island!?
Courbet: You think they went back to El Greco's island from here? That's not possible–
El Greco: The island… Ah, I know! Maybe I've gone too far from home.
Aoi: Uh? What does that mean?
Munch: I see, you've been here so long that the power on the island where you lived has weakened!
El Greco: Exactly.
Courbet: Power? What the heck is that... It's too unrealistic…
El Greco: Somehow, I must regain the feeling of being back home. If I don't do this, I'll also lose my soul bond with my kins, just as I did when I lost my spirit's sight…
Munch: You can't afford to lose your friends! We have to help Niko-chan!
Courbet: Even if you say that, how on earth are we supposed to help him? Even if it were due to a lack of power on the island or something like that, El Greco wouldn't be able to return to the island.
Aoi: That's right. I've come here to ask El Greco-kun for a commission…
Everyone: Hmmm…
El Greco: … There's only one way to get back the feeling of being back home. There is a ritual that has been handed down on the island since ancient times. If I do it, I may regain the power of the island.
Munch: Really!? You can meet your friends again, Niko-chan!
El Greco: However…
Courbet: Is there a problem?
El Greco: I can't perform this ritual alone. I can't involve you guys in this because of my circumstances…
Munch: It's okay, Niko-chan! We'll help you! Right? Director-chan, Courbetti!
Aoi: Of course! Let's call back El Greco-kun's animals!
Courbet: I don't see the point in doing that. But if we don't meet the deadline, it's going to be a problem.
El Greco: Thank you. I appreciate it. Then, I would like to perform the ritual right away. It's too small here, so I'd like to do it somewhere bigger.
Munch: Then how about the park? It's a big place, so you'll have lots of friends there!
El Greco: Yes, that's right. If the spirits are gathered there, it will be perfect for the ritual. Let's hurry up and get there.

My Precious Friend
El Greco's 2nd initial 3★ story (2/2) ( 1 - 2 )
Location: Manet's room ; garden (morning) | Characters: El Greco, Munch, Manet, Aoi/MC
Manet: Hm? El Greco? What is it?
El Greco: I'm looking for Munch's friend. Have they been here?
Manet: Hmpf, there is no way I would have welcomed one of the commoners.
El Greco: I see. Then let me know if you see them.
Manet: … You want me to join you in your search for this commoner? There is no way I would have time to waste like that.
El Greco: It's not a waste. What I'm looking for is Munch's precious friend. I have to find them, even if it means falling off a cliff.
Manet: Why are you so desperate? I don't understand it at all. You are an artist that I recognize. If you have time for that, you should paint your own pictures.
El Greco: No, it's not that. When a friend is in danger, all the islanders gather together with their kins... That shouldn't be just in my hometown.
Manet: There is no such culture in this country.
El Greco: Is that so? … Apparently, I haven't studied enough. But it doesn't change the fact that friends should be helped. I got in your way.
—
El Greco: I have searched all over the museum since then, but Munch's friend was nowhere to be found. Even the kins I relied on still haven't gotten any information. I've even asked other artists and they all say they don't know… Where could they have gone…
I can't be one of Munch's friends if I fail to save a friend in danger…
… No, there is no time to be discouraged. Munch must be feeling anxious as I speak. I'll look for them once again–
Munch: Hey, why are you hiding? C'mon, get out!
El Greco: ! That voice…
Munch: Finally! You're really quick, aren't you? You were sooo hard to find!
Aoi: Munch-kun, I'm glad you found your friend safely.
Munch: Yeah! Hey, the director said she was worried about you. Why don't you thank her?
El Greco: Talking to the ground... Looks like you successfully found your friend.
Munch: Ah, it's Niko-chan! Helloooo!
El Greco: Hi. You too have been looking for Munch's friend, right, deputy director?
Aoi: Rather than looking for them… I was curious to see how Munch-kun was doing, so I followed him. Then he was here talking to his friend.
El Greco: I see… I'm glad you found your friend, Munch.
Munch: Yeah! You looked for them too, didn't you, Niko-chan? The director told me. Thank you!
El Greco: Of course, because you're my friend…
I know what it's like to lose a friend, too. I used to see them too.
Aoi: Uh, is that so!?
El Greco: There are spirits in my hometown. I used to talk and play with them when I was a child.
Munch: Those spirits were important friends to Niko-chan, weren't they!
El Greco: Right. They're precious friends who I can trust. However… One day, the spirits became invisible. I always thought we were meant to be together forever… So when I heard that Munch's friend was gone, I felt a resemblance with my old self.
Aoi: Is that so…
(Maybe Munch-kun's friends and El Greco-kun's spirits are two different things. Still, they must have been important…)
El Greco: I can no longer see them, but they were my friends, no, they're still my friends. You should cherish the friends you can see now, Munch.
Munch: Right! But… It's not just my friend I just found, you know? Niko-chan, Director-chan, eeeeveryone is my precious friend!
El Greco: Munch… Right, thanks. For me, you, the deputy director, and all the artists– you're all my precious friends.

My Precious Friend
El Greco's 2nd initial 3★ story (1/2) ( 1 - 2 )
Location: study (morning) ; dormitory hallway (morning) ; Raffaello's room | Characters: El Greco, Raffaello, Munch, Velazquez, Hiroshige, Aoi/MC
Hiroshige: El Greco-dono, what do you think of this book? I have read it before and thought it was a very easy-to-understand story, perfect for language study.
Aoi: That book is a famous one in this country. It's in textbooks and I think it's easy to read. If there are words you don't understand, please ask me anything.
El Greco: I appreciate it. Then, I'll get–
Munch: Hey, guys!
Aoi: Ah, you scared me… What's wrong, Munch-kun?
Munch: Have you seen my friend? They suddenly disappeared and I'm looking for them.
Velazquez: I haven't. I don't even see your "friends", to begin with.
Munch: Huuuh, is that so? But I have lots of friends. Velaz, you're weird!
Velazquez: I'm just saying I don't see what I can't see.
Hiroshige: Y-Your friend… Hm… Hmmm… Is this another one of your ghost stories, Munch-dono… E-Even though it's only noon… Munch-dono, these things only have a certain charm when you tell them at night… f-fufu…
Velazquez: Hiroshige, don't overdo it. If you're afraid, just say so.
Hiroshige: W-What are you talking about? I… I'm not afraid or anything, you know…!
Aoi: (His voice is cracking…)
El Greco: Munch, is there any place your friend might have gone?
Munch: Hmmm, I thought they were behind Hiroshii, but I guess not.
Hiroshige: Hieee…!?
Aoi: Hiroshige-san, it's okay! At least I can't see anyone!
Munch: Hmmm, where could they have gone? If we don't find them soon, I'm sure they'll miss the ten of us!
Aoi: (Ah, he ran out of the room.)
Hiroshige: TEN OF THEM!? Does he have ten of those friends!? N-No way…
El Greco: I'm going to go look for them. Where I come from, friends are rescued even if they're falling off a cliff.
Velazquez: Apparently, El Greco really does believe those friends exist.
Aoi: Right… But how will he find an invisible friend?
—
El Greco: (I wonder where Munch's friend could have gone. I hope the kins I just unleashed will find some clues…)
First of all, I'll search the museum for–
! I can feel the presence of burning embers coming from this room... They must be here.
—
Raffaello: Shit, what the hell am I doing!? This isn't good at all!!
El Greco: (This is… Raffaello's room? Is he painting?)
Raffaello: Ah? What is it?
Screw you! The heck are you doing, coming in here without permission? Do you want your eyeballs painted out!?
El Greco: (Ah, a palette knife was thrown at me–)
*dodges*
(That was a close one. I was so close to getting stabbed.)
Forgive me. I came here looking for Munch's friend, but I don't think they were here. Then, I'll take my leave.
—
El Greco: (He must have been painting with such strong feelings to produce such a sign.)
… Time has passed since Munch's friend disappeared. He must be very worried about their absence.
(For Munch's sake, I must find them soon…)
! I feel the presence of a powerful stormy sea. It's coming from this room.
(I wish I had friends here… Anyway, let's get into the room.)

Proud of My Hometown
El Greco's 1st initial 3★ story (2/2) ( 1 - 2 )
Location: kitchen (evening) ; dormitory hallway (morning) | Characters: El Greco, Rembrandt, Munch, Van Dyck
El Greco: What do you want to know about my hometown?
Rembrandt: Well, first of aaaall, what kind of place is this island surrounded by fog? What is its name?
El Greco: The truth dwells only in my heart.
Munch: He can't go into detail.
Van Dyck: Why? Why don't you at least say its name?
El Greco: Let's just say it is a place where proud people who respect the island's customs live.
Van Dyck: What's that... I mean, what are the island's customs?
El Greco: On their birthday, children receive gifts from everyone on the island.
Munch: Wooow, that's a very nice custom! Sounds fun!
Rembrandt: El Greco-kun, what else is there?
El Greco: We always make sure to get a haircut on Tuesday.
Van Dyck: Huh? What if you want to get your hair done on another day of the week?
El Greco: I don't. I don't want to get a haircut except on Tuesdays.
Van Dyck: I-Is that so…
Rembrandt: It's a biiig world, isn't it? It's fun to hear about all these customs that are new to me. I'll have to try not to forget them.
Van Dyck: … Is it something to take notes of? To absolutely get a haircut on Tuesdays…?
Rembrandt: Yeah, it's not often you get to hear stories like this. I'll have to remember it.
Munch: I want to go to Niko-chan's place someday too~ My friends also want to meet the islanders!
Van Dyck: But he said earlier that the location was a secret… But it sure makes me curious. Do all the people on the island dress like you?
El Greco: Yes. It is one of the customs to pay attention to the attire.
Rembrandt: Everyone must be sooo fashionable~
Van Dyck: I might like to visit such a place. It's fun to see fashionable people.
El Greco: I'm very happy to hear your compliments about my hometown. The spirits of my homeland would be happy to be honored in a faraway land. Besides, your sleeves are always spotless too.
Van Dyck: Huh?
Munch: He said Vanny always looks beautiful!
Van Dyck: ! W-Well, of course! I always try to be beautiful.
Fufu. I thought you were brusque, but you're a pretty talkative guy, aren't you? Hey, next time you go shopping in town, take me with you. It'll be fun to pick out clothes with you.
El Greco: Of course.
Rembrandt: And a new friendship has bloomeed~ That's a veeery nice thing!~
Munch: Good for you, Niko-chan! You've made another friend!
El Greco: It feels like someone made me a meal when I was sick.
Van Dyck: … Are you saying you're happy?
Munch: Yes yes, now you understand him too, Vanny!
Van Dyck: Well, now that's something.
El Greco: Then, is it okay if we go shopping this Saturday?
Van Dyck: Fine for me. This is also one of your customs, right?
El Greco: No, I had an open schedule, so…
Munch: Vanny, you're a know-it-all! That's what my friends say!
Van Dyck: S-Shut up! Saturday, right? My schedule is empty!
El Greco: I see. I'm looking forward to it.
—
Rembrandt: What's for lunch todaaay?~
Van Dyck: It's not beautiful when your stomach growls. We have to eat soon.
Munch: Heeey, Rembraa, Vanny!
Van Dyck: Munch? Ah, El Greco as well. I mean, what's with the basket? Are you taking it to the kitchen?
El Greco: I stocked up on shellfish from my hometown. It's a testament to the new friendship that was forged yesterday. I'll serve them to you.
Munch: He says it's a taste of his hometown!
Rembrandt: Thank you! I wonder, what kind of shells does your hometown have, El Greco-kuuun?~
Van Dyck: Indeed, I can't imagine that at all.
Munch: You'll understand when you see them! Here!
Van Dyck: !? S… Snails!?
Rembrandt: Woooow~ I've never eaten them before~ There are soooo many!
Munch: They look deliciouuus!~ I wonder how they taste!
Van Dyck: NO WAAAAY! That's disgusting! I like you and your hometown's fashion, but not that one!
El Greco: You will love them. Don't hesitate to try them.
Van Dyck: A-ABSOLUTELY NOOOOT!!

Proud of My Hometown
El Greco's 1st initial 3★ story (1/2) ( 1 - 2 )
Location: museum exterior (morning) ; kitchen (evening) | Characters: El Greco, Rembrandt, Munch, Van Dyck, Rubens
Van Dyck: I'm glad you were able to buy so many nice things, Teacher.
Rubens: Yes, I can't wait to wear the clothes I bought today!~
Van Dyck: Right! I want to see them too!
Rubens: Ara, then let's go back to our room and get changed!
Wait… What's going on? There are a lot of people in front of the museum…
Van Dyck: That's true. Did something happen?
Rubens: Ara… That's…
Male customer A: You're Mr. El Greco, right? Please give me an autograph!
Male customer B: I've been a fan of yours since you were at the previous museum!
El Greco: …
Van Dyck: Wow, he's so popular… I guess he's a celebrity after all.
Rubens: Right… But what's more important is that Niko-chan doesn't seem too happy.
Male customer A: If you don't mind, please explain to me your pictures!
Male customer B: Me too! Explain them to me as well!
El Greco: …
Van Dyck: That guy isn't speaking at all. Even though his fans are calling out to him.
Rubens: Fufu, Anyway, let's go and follow them.
Van Dyck: Understood. I can't believe he bothered Teacher. I'll have to warn him later!
—
El Greco: Thank you for your help earlier, Van Dyck.
Van Dyck: Hmpf, from now on, don't bother Teacher, okay? I mean, why don't you try to be a little more friendly to your fans? Even earlier, it was just me and the teacher, so we were able to get by…
El Greco: Surrounded by a crowd, I am as ignorant as a newborn fawn.
Van Dyck: Huh? A newborn fawn…? Huh?
Munch: He doesn't know what to do when he's approached by fans directly!
Rembrandt: So thaaaat's what he meant!~ I'll keep track of El Greco-kun's new words.
Van Dyck: Aaaah, don't come out of nowhere.
Rembrandt: Sorry, sorry. I was juuust curious~ But I understand how El Greco-kun feels. I get confused when people come onto meee~
Van Dyck: Why? Why don't you just be proud of it? It's not like you're doing anything you're guilty of.
El Greco: Because… it's like collecting spilled milk.
Munch: It seems to be hard to be dignified.
Van Dyck: Really? I think you're always clean and dressed appropriately for public appearances. That's why I don't understand the point of being silent. I think you should be confident.
Munch: ?? Vanny is talking about something I don't understand.
Rembrandt: Isn't that a compliment? He said El Greco-kun is always so stylish.
Van Dyck: Exactly. I've been thinking about it for a while, but you're well-put together and you have pretty good taste.
El Greco: I see. It feels like finding a rainbow after the rain.
Munch: He seems happy to be praised!
Van Dyck: … It's inconvenient to need Munch's interpretation every time.
Anyways, where do you always buy your clothes?
El Greco: I buy them in town, but most of them are clothes I brought from my hometown.
Van Dyck: I see. That's why so many of your clothes have designs I've never seen. There are so many beautiful fabrics, aren't there? In your hometown, I mean.
El Greco: Thank you. The clothes of my hometown are a proud flower.
Van Dyck: Uhm…?
Munch: I think Niko-chan is proud of his hometown's clothes. I like Niko-chan's clothes toooo~
Van Dyck: … Really, it's inconvenient to need an interpreter. But you like it, don't you?
El Greco: I do.
Rembrandt: El Greco-kun's hometown is fuuull of mysteries~ What kind of place is it?
El Greco: Well… Far beyond the distant sea is an island shrouded in a mysterious mist…
Van Dyck: Uh… That's the human world we're talking about, right…? I can't imagine that at all…
Rembrandt: I'm sensing a great story here! Tell us more!
El Greco: Alright, understood.

Blessing of the Spirits
El Greco's initial 2★ story (1/1)
Location: atelier 2 (morning) | Characters: El Greco, Van Gogh, Monet, Giotto, Aoi/MC
El Greco: Is this the blessing of the spirits…
Aoi: Hm? Did you say something?
El Greco: Yes. I felt the blessing of the spirits.
Aoi: … Ah! You mean… the quality of the painting? It really is an amazing piece of work...! Maybe the best work you've ever done.
Van Gogh: What what? What's the matter with you two?
El Greco: No, it is nothing worth making a fuss about–
Aoi: Look look, it's El Greco-kun's painting. I don't think I've ever seen a picture like this before.
Van Gogh: Woaaah…! Seriously, it's amazing…!
El Greco: …
Aoi: He said he was feeling the blessings of the spirits. Maybe there really is a genie here.
Van Gogh: That's nice! I wish a genie would come to me too!
El Greco: The only time I could see them was when I was younger. I think we could call them with Munch around.
Giotto: If that's the case, I think Jan can see 'em too.
Aoi: You came too, Giotto-san.
Giotto: Yeah, I just happened to hear ya talkin'. Havin' a genie would be a dream come true, wouldn't it be nice?
Van Gogh: Come to think of it, I don't think I've heard much about it, right? Hey, I'd love to know what you know about spirits, El Greco-san!
Aoi: If it's okay, I want to hear it too.
El Greco: … They don't always do as much good as you might think. Sometimes I hear them cry things like "Manet" and…
Monet: Heya. Were ya just talkin' ‘bout Manet-aniki? Then count me in as well!
Giotto: No, nobody's talkin' 'bout that guy, okay? We're talkin' 'bout the spirit now.
El Greco: … Heh. The way he suddenly appeared is just like a genie.
Monet: Hm? Hmm? What were ya talkin' 'bout?
Aoi: Fufu, we were talking about how great El Greco-kun's painting was while looking at it.
Van Gogh: Right, right! He said it has the blessing of the spirits!
Giotto: Oooh, that's what ya were talkin' 'bout. Let's see it, if ya insist...
… Well I mean, it's a really great piece of work.
Money: If it's that amazin', I wanna see it too! Oooh, awesome! Ya always painted this with a Buddha's face…!
El Greco: … I have to admit, when you give me that much praise all at once... I don't really know how to react.
Aoi: I think this is the first time I've seen El Greco-kun embarrassed…?
Van Gogh: Hahaha, it's true! Is it also because of the spirits?
El Greco: … I'm even having trouble with prankster spirits.

Two People Who Are Bad at Talking
El Greco's initial 1★ story (1/1)
Location: dormitory hallway (morning) ; museum hallway (morning) ; atelier 2 (morning) | Characters: El Greco, Velazquez
El Greco: …
Velazquez: You're going to the atelier too now? May I accompany you?
El Greco: Yes, no problem.
Velazquez: I see. Then, let's go.
—
El Greco: (... It's rare that he's not with Rubens. Sometimes it's just one of those days.)
… A snail on a sunny day, is it?
Velazquez: What are you talking about?
El Greco: That's your current state.
Velazquez: ... I've been thinking about this for a while now, but I don't understand what you're talking about at all.
El Greco: ... I've been told this a lot, but I just can't stop talking the way I used to do back in my hometown. I'm sorry. I just can't get past this. Do you want me to call Munch?
Velazquez: I'm not saying it's a bad thing, so don't worry about it. I'm the one who invited you, so I'll make an effort without Munch.

Velazquez: …
El Greco: …
Velazquez: That part would be more complicated than the others. We should do it again later. Also, I've been working for so long that my concentration is starting to break down. It's not good if you continue to do poorly and make mistakes.
El Greco: Okay, then let's leave it for later.
Velazquez: …
El Greco: … You're talking straight to me.
Velazquez: ? What else do you want me to say?
El Greco: No, I'm just thankful I don't have to worry about being weird. People seem to think I'm unapproachable.
Velazquez: It is difficult to say whether you're easy to talk to or not, but you're not impossible to talk to. In fact, I'm probably the more difficult person to talk to.
El Greco: Is that so?
Velazquez: Rubens often tells me I say things too straight. He tells me to be careful… but I'm not quite sure how to do it.
El Greco: There would be no need to change. Just like I use the language of my hometown. At least I have no complaints about you.
Velazquez: … I see.
El Greco: … However, you do have complaints. That's what you mean when you say you don't understand my words.
Velazquez: That's not a complaint. It's purely an opinion. Just tell me what it means and I'll have no problem with it.
El Greco: Its meaning, you say… It's hard for me to put into words what I'm feeling.
Velazquez: Well, time will tell, I guess. I'm sure you'll understand some things as you come into contact with them.
El Greco: …
Velazquez: For now, it looks like we need a little more time for conversation. If you don't have any plans after this, why don't we have lunch together?
El Greco: Yeah. I was just about to tell you that the sun was higher in the sky too.
Velazquez: … I see, so that's what you're asking me to do, invite you to lunch. Alright, I'll keep that in mind.
El Greco: To be grasped like that is kind of... itchy, you know.

The Gift Gets Delivered Without Noticing
Renoir's Birthday 4★ story (3/3) ( 1 - 2 - 3 )
Location: atelier (morning) | Characters: Renoir, Van Gogh, Monet, Sisley, Bazille
Renoir: …
Sisley: … So it's been that way since the other day. He never once went to the city to waste time, but kept painting…
Van Gogh: Yeah… That's right. I'm surely worried, but he said it's alright.
Bazille: Jeez… That guy is way too extreme. He could be a little more serious in his everyday life…
Monet: Van Gogh, here. We brought ya somethin'. I know it's a lotta work, but I hope ya and Renoir can make it.
Van Gogh: Thanks. I'll let Renoir-san know too.
Sisley: Van Gogh-san, please think about your own body first. It would be a disaster if you both collapsed.
Bazille: If you knew how hard it is to take care of you people, you wouldn't do something so stupid.
Monet: Ya ain't really that honest, Bazille. Why didn't ya just say ya were worried?
Bazille: Shut up.
Van Gogh: Hahaha. Really, thank you so much.

Van Gogh: … Renoir-san, shouldn't you take a break?
Renoir: … Hm? Is it that time already? I thought we just took a break earlier.
Van Gogh: It's already been hours since then. Here you go, brought to you by Monet-san and the others.
Renoir: All my favorite things. I'm glad I have friends who are so thoughtful.
Van Gogh: They were worried you were pushing yourself too hard. Me too... I've also been worried about you lately, Renoir-san.
Renoir: Fufufu, is it because of my usual behavior? It's been so long since I've faced painting with such enthusiasm…
Van Gogh: Is that so…?
Renoir: You see. I like your very serious and hard-working attitude. I told you before that it was dazzling. However… I felt just as jealous.
Van Gogh: Huh…?
Renoir: Because I can't do it anymore. I can't be as desperate as you. … I guess it's funny to say that I can't do it. I just… gave up.
Van Gogh: Renoir-san…
Renoir: … Hahaha, It's getting a little dark, isn't it? Just because I'm jealous doesn't mean I don't like you, okay? I wish I could be like you, Van Gogh. I'm so envious, I almost feel my chest tightening up.
I feel like I'm getting closer to you now. I feel it more strongly when I'm facing the painting like this. … I thought I would never be able to paint as seriously as you do again. But now I find myself painting seriously, sincerely enjoying it. I feel happy. A lot.
… Aaah, painting is so much fun. I realized this is such a happy thing. Fufufu, I'm sorry I'm only talking about myself, when I have to hurry up and finish the commission.
Van Gogh: No, if you think it's fun, then I'm happy to paint with you too!
… I won't ask why you feel that way. But I also admire you, Renoir-san. I even envy you because of your talent. But I still have more respect for you.
Renoir: Fufu, I feel embarrassed.
Van Gogh: Because I felt like if I didn't say it now, you wouldn't get the message…! I want to say everything I'm thinking!
Renoir: You don't have to say it, I know exactly what you mean. We're making a picture together here.
… You know, Van Gogh. The other day... I told you about my birthday, right? You were sorry because you couldn't get ready for it. Remember?
Van Gogh: Yeah. Even now… I still feel sorry.
Renoir: Would you be surprised if I told you that you already gave me the best birthday present ever?
Van Gogh: Huh…?
Renoir: Thank you for showing me the joy of painting again. Thank you for reminding me of the feeling of being crazy about painting. Because you were there for me, because you kept showing me how hard you were working… I was able to face painting… no, I was able to face myself. Thank you for giving me this feeling and time. This is the best birthday present you could give me.
Van Gogh: No way… I was just doing what I always do. Nothing amazing like you said…
Renoir: Isn't that "what you always do" nice? It resonated with me because it wasn't a fake, contrived effort.
Van Gogh: … Uuuh, if you say so, Renoir-san, it's kind of… what should I do, I feel so embarrassed!
Renoir: I was embarrassed earlier too, so I guess we're even. There's still a lot of work to be done, and we're on the edge of meeting the deadline… but let's work hard together for the rest.
Van Gogh: Yes! Of course!
Renoir: I look forward to it.
