raw video link here!


Pitter patter—
Sara is walking cheerfully up ahead. She turns to look back and calls to us.
Sara: Um… how about somewhere here?
Lippy: I agree! This field is lush and scenic, quite pleasant altogether.
Zephyr: Well, it all looks pretty much the same around here.
Zephyr sighs in exasperation.
Sara/Kana: Haha. / Ehehe.
Lippy: My, is something the matter, you two?
Kana: Well, you know. Sara and I thought Zephyr was gonna say something like that.
Kana: And look, we were right.
Sara: We thought it would be like him.
Zephyr: ...why do I feel like I've lost…
Zephyr looks tired, and he reaches his hand toward Lippy instinctively.
Lippy: —Uwah!? Master Zephyr! Please do not use me to relieve your stress! Don't tickle — waaaaaah!
Kana: Hey, Zephyr! Stop that!
Kana tries to interfere, but Zephyr turns on her and grinds his fist against her head.
Kana's eyes lose focus. Sara and I stand by and watch, charmed by the sight.
Our normal lives—
This sort of thing is just like us.
After fooling around (or being fooled around with) for a while, the three of them calm down and we resume our conversation.
Lippy: Well then. Now that we've recovered, let's begin. Who will take the SMARTPHON…?
Zephyr: Well, it's gotta be—
Kana: Let's get started!
Lippy: Of course!
Sara: Yeah! Go ahead, Link!
Zephyr: What now? Don't get embarrassed.
Lippy: Here is my SMARTPHON. Please take it.


(Start by touching this button.)
Lippy: Simply follow my Goddess's guidance to operate it!

(Next, touch this button.)

(Hold the SMARTPHON in your right hand.)
Kana: Come closer, Zephyr!
Zephyr: Yeah, yeah. Fine.
Sara: Everyone's in the shot now, right? Then pose!

(Turn the SMARTPHON sideways.)

(Done?)
(Now hold it in front of your face.)
(Now let's start.)

(Okay! Touch the screen!)


Zephyr:
We've had a pretty long journey since we came to earth.
...you're the only one I can tell this to.

I want to continue walking this path with all of you.

I want to be together forever.
I'll be counting on you, partner.


Kana:
Our feelings—
Our linked hearts—
They'll keep us together, always.

I think there's nothing more beautiful than that.

So I'm really happy.
Do you feel the same?


Lippy:
May today be another good day.
Savior, the path that you walk is the light that guides me.

Forever, and ever.
I will always be by your side.


Sara:
I'm glad I met you.
You've given me so many memories.
Thank you.

Well—
There's no need to be so formal!
The paths we walk will definitely cross again someday.

So we'll always be together!


Allen:
The memories from our journey together are engraved in my heart.
Our bonds will always be there.

Come on. Let's start another journey.

I'm sure a wonderful adventure awaits.
