010 vacation
BRAVE: The Golden Week holidays finally started. Is sister planning to go somewhere?
POPPY: No, she'll stay. She said that only boors went out to terribly overcrowded spots.
BRAVE: So, will she go some other time?
POPPY: No. She said that she's too busy to take a vacation.
BRAVE: I see..... In short, she doesn't have money to travel, does she?
POPPY: Right.

011 portrait
POPPY: Brave, Ms. Artemis kindly painted our portrait, didn't she?
BRAVE: Yeah. Thanks a lot, Aru-san!
POPPY: Uncle Kitchan and mom carelessly took the portrait a composite photograph. Right?.
BRAVE: I heard so. Well, Aru-san's brushwork is so excellent that the portrait looks absolutely true to life.
POPPY: You said it! Mine is so lifelike and so beautiful! Brave, you in the portrait look much better!
BRAVE: Cut it out, Poppy! I'll be abashed!!

012 weasels
BRAVE: They're still around here....
POPPY: No doubt about that. I can smell them. But three of them were already caught and set free at a hill somewhere.
BRAVE: Exactly. But the weasels didn't look so weird as I had expected. Looked even cute! Do they really slash with someone suddenly? I was threatened and got butterflies.
POPPY: The weasel you're talking about is another subspecies with a skill of slashing. They're really wicked! Waylaying someone at a street of very high buildings or at a way out of a tunnel, they sometimes slash an arm off in an instant!
BRAVE: Gosh! Holding sickles in their hands?
POPPY: 'Spose so.
POPPY & BRAVE: ........... Gyaaaaaa! So scared!!

013 hobby
BRAVE: Poppy, what's your hobby?
POPPY: My hobby? Um, well..., to play with a feather cat-teaser! Yours?
BRAVE: Mine is to interrupt your playing!
POPPY: You're so wicked! Hobbies must not be nuisance to someone.
BRAVE: Who decided that? If so, how about momma's?
POPPY: Yeah, as you say, her playing the Taisho koto is actually a noise.
BRAVE: Talking of it, she began the practice, again. Let's leave here right now!
POPPY: Roger.
