"This is an interview with our one and only, the sweetest heroine in all of Amleth, young lady Diana Vars and her lovely companion, the elemental cat Fie. In today's interview we'll talk about all the big shots she's befriended, starting with me, of course, the one and only, the diva of the opera house, Vita!" [Vita]
"Hello everyone! Diana here, nice to meet you all!" [Diana]
"Meow!" [Fie]
"Yahoo! It's Lady Diana!"
"An autograph, we want your autograph!"
"You're really cute today! So is your cat!"
"Don't you want to join them?" [Kat]
"It's okay... It's too embarrassing" [Neloufa].
"I guess her carefree attitude really attracted us all" [Kat]
It was about 4 o'clock in the evening, and as we gathered in the shade of a large apple tree to prepare our lunch, Miss Vita wanted to introduce us formally to all the opera house workers. I'm sure it's not necessary, but they insist. This is a tradition among the opera house workers to formally introduce themselves, especially their actor and actress. Of course, for those who don't want to do so, they are not forced, as in the case of Neloufa. Through this so-called live interview, all the workers gather around the newcomers and ask all the questions they have in mind to know their friends better. In turn, the one being interviewed can also freely ask the question to others, so we all get to know each other better.
"First question from me, as mentioned before, who else have you befriended in Amleth?" [Vita]
"There are too many to choose from. I mean, Nar and Sas are given, since they're my adopted brothers. There are also the Duke of Fortress and the Duke of Lion House, especially their daughters! Then there is Miss Vita herself, Aunt Amleth, and Kara and Mara. Brokkr. Randy. Guild Master Akela. Chief Judge Mr. Caprio. The Prime Minister himself. The half-hafling-half-golem head librarian. The old man Cardinal Davis. All the special knights of Amleth. The wandering sage. Even the nomadic giants the other day! I'm sure there others but listing them all so suddenly is impossible" [Diana]
"Wait... You can understand the giants!" [Vita]
"I do! They're all fun to play with! They even wanted to give me their precious gold, but I refused because they wanted to use it for their weapon" [Diana].
"The nomad giant... So the girl who cleared up the misunderstanding the other day was..."
"Yes. It's her" [Kat].
Since Miss Vita asked me a question, it's my turn to ask her a question. I simply wanted to know what made her want to be an actress for the Opera House, something that piqued Neloufa's interest.
"It's because of the head succubus, Eisheth. She's well versed in the musical arts, so much so that it enchanted me. I was actually as naughty as you when I was a child, wandering through the red light district playing hide and seek with my friends, and there I saw Miss Eisheth performing an ancient dance of the succubus tribe for her young ones. Before I knew it, I learned everything I know today from her. Still, what keeps me going is the cheers and applause I got from the audience. I can't get enough of that!" [Vita]
"Oh, I didn't know you were her student! I met Miss Eisheth myself the other day! We are also planning a picnic with all the other succubi!" [Diana]
"Oh my, count me in!" [Vita]
"Count me in too!"
"This is a golden opportunity to be with those hot succubi!"
"I wanted to date one of them!
"Their cheerful personality and innocence, especially when sucking our mana..."
"Men..." [Kat] "I know... They're the worst!" "Disgusting..."
"Don't pretend that you didn't went to the incubus"
They get so rowdy that the manager and Miss Vita have to calm them down. The argument between the man and the lady gets hotter and hotter, so much so that I laughed. This is really fun. On to the next question!
"Is it true that you come from the Aru village?"
"It's true. I ran away from there. They wanted to sell me, but I managed to escape, and that's when I met Nar, Sas, Jean and Aunt Amleth!" [Diana]
"Damn... I shudder to think what will happen to you now if you don't escape their grasp".
"Probably marry some creepy old man"
"Ohh, you mean like the other two dukes?"
"I heard from a friend that they sent a marriage proposal to Diana, not to betroth her to their son, but to themselves!"
"Hahaha... Don't be silly. I'm sure they're sending out invitations so their son can get engaged to Diana" [Manager].
"Oh no, that's not it. In fact, I overheard the knights mentioning how Her Highness Queen Amleth had to stop the heroes from rampaging through the estate of that filthy beast of a duke because they wanted Diana for themselves" [Vita].
"Seriously..."
"Alright... I have to make sure that Diana is not around those filthy men" [Kat].
"Agreed."
"We have to protect her!"
"She is, along with Princess Kara and Mara, the jewels of Amleth!"
"How dare those two stupid dukes!"
"The wall has ears!" [Manager]
"They're no wall here?" [Diana]
Once again they get rowdy. Of course, even though I didn't know what they were talking about, I just joined in! They said that I was a jewel next to Kara and Mara, to which I added another person
"Neloufa too! She's very popular with the boys in our school! I'm sure she got more love letters than me, Kara, Mara, Marianne and Tio combined!" [Diana]
"Meow!" [Fie]
(That's just like Alice... No, that even beat Alice) [Kat]
"Ehh... Ehh! Why... Why me!?" [Neloufa]
"Neloufa, please sit down here and we will start your interview" [Vita].
"But I don't want to! It's embarrassing!" [Neloufa]
"Hehehe... How long has it been since I last bullied you. Come here, you tomato cheek Neloufa" [Diana]
"Diana! I thought we are best friends!" [Neloufa]
"We are, but I missed the old shy and quiet Neloufa, so I wanted to meet her again" [Diana].
"Traitor! You're a traitor!" [Neloufa]
"Try to escape! No, you can't! I'll hug you so you can't escape!" [Diana]
"Please don't!" [Neloufa]
Neloufa sulks until the next morning. She doesn't want to talk to me or sleep with me. Of course, my goal of getting the sulking Neloufa to reappear was successful, but now I feel bad.
