Elmo: [Now that La Primavera is over, spring brings more new changes to Regalo]

Elmo: [Arcana Academia]

Elmo: [Sparked by the lord’s plan to turn the island into a center for learning, Arcana Famiglia aims to establish a school]

Elmo: [With a goal to promote learning among the citizens]

Elmo: [Today, everyone in the Family is once again busily fulfilling their young Donna’s wishes]

~*Scene: Alchemy Room*~

Elmo: Hey, Ash

Ash: What?

Elmo: What should you do if you want to always be with the person you like?

Ash: …Where’d that come from? And you have someone like that?

Elmo: Yeah, I do. I like someone

Ash: Huh…anyone I know?

Elmo: Yeah…

Ash: Okay, so why do you look so gloomy?

Elmo: I want to be with her, but I don’t have good reason to be

Ash: Reason?

Elmo: She’s always busy, so I don’t a reason to be with her

Ash: Hm…that sounds like a pain

Elmo: …I’m being serious here

Ash: Is this person a student?

Elmo: Um, I guess…so?

Ash: Then just ask her to study with you

Elmo: Study?

Ash: Yeah. If she came to the Academia, then she should at least want to study

Elmo: Oh…you’re right. I’ll go try it!

Ash: …Right now?

Elmo: Yeah! Thank you, Ash

(*door closes)

Ash: …He’s surprisingly assertive

~*Scene: Hallway*~

Elmo: Miss

Felicita: Elmo…what are you doing here so late?

Elmo: I wanted to ask you on a date

Felicita: A date…?

Elmo: I wanted us to study together

>We can do that anytime/p>

>Why the sudden invitation?

Elmo: Anytime?

Felicita: I won’t always have time though

Elmo: Am I bothering you?

Felicita: No, you’re not

Felicita: (Studying as a date…? Elmo can be so strange)

Elmo: Thank you, Miss. Can we do it now?

Felicita: Okay

Elmo: I’ll be waiting in the study

Felicita: Okay. I’ll be there once I’m ready

~*Scene: Study*~

Felicita: You sure seem to be having fun

Elmo: Huh?

Felicita: You just look so happy

Elmo: Yeah. I am happy

Felicita: Yeah. …I guess I’m the problem

Elmo: Why?

>You’ve been teaching me this whole time

>It’s hard to enjoy myself like this

Felicita: I’m not helping you learn much

Elmo: That’s not true. I’m happy just being helpful to you

Elmo: And Jolly said that teaching people also helps you study

Felicita: I started the Academia because I wanted to make studying fun…

Elmo: That’s fine. I’m happy for a different reason

Felicita: Huh?

Elmo: It’s because I’m with you

Felicita: Elmo…thank you

Felicita: …It’s a little frustrating. I need to try harder

Elmo: You don’t have to be frustrated. All I used to do was study

Felicita: Huh?

Elmo: Maybe becayse my only purpose was to be useful to Jolly

Felicita: Oh…

Elmo: The more I learned, the more he praised me. That’s why I studied

Felicita: I see…

Elmo: …Miss, are you having fun with me right now?

Felicita: Huh?

Elmo: I invited you to study because I wanted to spend time with you

Elmo: But, if it made you look sad, then I guess our first date was a failure

Felciita: Elmo…

Elmo: So, can you give me another chance?

>What are you planning?

>Right now?

Elmo: I have a great idea. Can our date go on a little longer?

Felicita: …Gladly

Elmo: Thank you

Elmo: Yeah

Felicita: …

Elmo: Is that a no?

Felicita: No, go ahead

Elmo: Can we maybe go outside for a bit?

Felicita: Outside?

Elmo: The outside air feels great after a long study session

Felicita: That does sound convincing

Elmo: So, let’s go

Felicita: Okay

Love

~*Scene: Beach*~

Felicita: I haven’t been to the beach at night in a while

Elmo: You don’t like it?

Felicita: That’s not it

Elmo: I thought we could look at the stars while listening to the waves

Felicita: The stars? …Oh, wow

Elmo: I just read a book that said they look the prettiest this time of year

Elmo: Do you like it?

Felicita: Yeah

Elmo: I’m glad

Felicita: They really are beautiful. What’s that white band of stars called?

Elmo: That’s called the Milky Way

Felicita: …You know a lot

Elmo: I like it when you’re happy, so I studied a lot

Felicita: You did it to make me happy?

Elmo: You’re happy when I talk about things you don’t know, right?

Felicita: You studied for that?

Elmo: Yeah

Felicita: …I’d like to hear more about the stars

Elmo: Okay, just a little more…

Elmo: Did you learn about Cygnus in Dante’s class?

Felicita: Yeah

Elmo: That’s the constellation over there that looks like a bird

Felicita: That one?

Elmo: Yeah, the Northern Cross is in the center of it

Felicita: It’s so big

Elmo: Cygnus represents the form a god took when he fell in love with a human woman

Felicita: Huh?

Elmo: He loved her so much…and couldn’t stop even though he knew he couldn’t have her

Elmo: So he turned into a swan so he could see the one he loved

Felicita: That’s a nice story…

Elmo: The god already had a wife, and the woman also had a husband. It’s not all that nice

Elmo: But, it still stuck with me. Maybe I relate to it a bit

Felicita: You do?

Elmo: To love and yearn for someone…you’re not allowed to be with. But you still can’t help but love them

Elmo: It’s just like me

Felicita: …

Elmo: Can we walk for a bit? We’ll get cold just standing around

Felicita: …You’re right

Elmo: Give me your hand

Felicita: My hand…?

Elmo: Yeah. I wouldn’t want you to trip on the sand

Felicita: …Thank you, Elmo

Elmo: I want to stay with you a little longer

Felicita: …Okay

Laugh

~*Scene: Alchemy Room*~

Ash: Jolly, is Elmo here by chance?

Jolly: Elmo? No, he’s not

Ash: Just where did he go?

Jolly: He’s not a child. Leave him be

Ash: Well, I guess it’s not urgent

Ash: Oh, wait…he might be with a girl

Jolly: A girl…?

Ash: He left saying he just had to be with the person he liked

Jolly: …When was this?

Ash: Why are you upset all of a sudden?

Jolly: Answer me

Ash: Just now

Ash: Hey, where are you going?

Jolly: To bring Elmo back

Ash: Huh? Didn’t you say to leave him be?

Jolly: Did I?

(*door closes)

Ash: What was that?

~*Scene: Rose Garden*~

Elmo: Watch your step, Miss

Felicita: Okay

Elmo: The way out is just through here

Felicita: I didn’t realize there was secret passage here

Elmo: It’s a secret, okay Miss? Just between us

Felicita: Okay

Jolly: Stop right there

Elmo: Jolly!

Jolly: Where are you taking Ojou-sama at this hour?

Elmo: Just outside for a walk?

Jolly: And what if something happened? Can you take responsibility?

Elmo: Nothing would happen. And even if it did, I’d protect her

Jolly: I have no time for childish nonsense. You can’t protect her

Elmo: I’m being serious

Jolly: If you must go outside, I will accompany you

Elmo: No way. I want to be alone with Miss

Jolly: So does everyone else in the Family. You don’t get special treatment

Elmo: Everyone? Even you, Jolly? You want to be alone with Miss too?

Jolly: Yes, that’s correct

Elmo: Then are you just doing this because you don’t want us to be alone together?

Jolly: Frankly, yes

(*grip) Elmo: Seriously! Don’t get in the way of our date just because you’re jealous!

Jolly: Jealous… Hmph, don’t you realize that you’re also troubling Ojou-sama with your selfishness?

Jolly: Throwing a tantrum isn’t very attractive

Elmo: …I’m causing her trouble?

Felicita: ……A little

Elmo: I’m sorry

(*sigh) Felicita: We should be careful not the get caught next time

Elmo: Huh?

Jolly: Let’s go, Donna. You should have some more awareness yourself

Felicita: I’ll be careful. Let’s go, Elmo

Elmo: …Okay!
