Research Time

[Mitile's room]

Mitile: Master Sage! Come take a look!

Sage: That’s the outfit you wore during the Festival...?

Mitile: Yes! It was a little torn, but Chloe fixed it for me. Does it look weird on me?

Sage: Not at all. No matter how I look at it, it suits you perfectly!

Mitile: D-do you think so?

Sage: Yes. It looks really, really great on you!

Mitile: If you put it like that... Ehehe, it’s a little embarrassing, but I’m happy to hear that.
Mitile: That’s right, since I’ve already put it on, I’ll go show it to everyone else--

Figaro: Oh, Mitile, you also got that outfit fixed too, huh?

Sage: Hello, Figaro.

Figaro: So you’re also here, Master Sage. Hello.

Mitile: Doctor Figaro! You’re also wearing...
Mitile: ...

Figaro: Mitile?

Mitile: Ah,

Figaro: Is there something off? Something that doesn’t quite fit?

Mitile: No! I’m just surprised at how well it suits you and how cool you look in it.

Figaro: Eeh, I’m always cool, aren’t I? But this outfit suits you well too, Mitile. You look cute in it.

Mitile: Please don’t ruffle my hair! ...
Mitile: If I grow a little taller, I can be a cool wizard like Doctor Figaro too...

Figaro: Hm? Did you say something?

Mitile: N-no! It’s nothing! Master Sage, Doctor Figaro, let’s go show everyone!

[Dining room]

Figaro: Oh, your cooking looks delicious today too, Nero.

Nero: I’m glad you think so. It makes cooking worth it.

Mitile: (Stare)...

Mitile: I have to study Doctor Figaro so I can become a cool wizard...

Rutile: Eh? Mitile, why are you hiding behind that pillar?

Mitile: Hyaa!

Mitile: Ah! Doctor Figaro might notice...!

Figaro: -- By the way, I’m hungry, so can I maybe take a bite...

Nero: You can’t. Anyway, it’s time for dinner, so if you’re hungry call everyone over.

Figaro: Okay, I got it.

Mitile: He didn’t notice me... I’m glad...

Rutile: ?

[Courtyard, nighttime]

Mitile: Eh? That’s... Doctor Figaro?
Mitile: But, somehow...

Figaro: ...

Mitile: ...This is the first time I’ve seen him with such a lonely expression...
Mitile: ...
Mitile: D-Doctor Figaro, is something wrong?

Figaro: --Oh, Mitile. Were you looking at me again?

Mitile: Ah, that’s...

Figaro: Haha, even if it’s because you think I’m cool, I’d get embarrassed if you keep looking at me so passionately.

Mitile: ...
Mitile: ...I’m glad, this is the usual Doctor Figaro.

Figaro: Hm? What’s wrong? Could it be you’re so taken in by me you can’t look away?

Mitile: N-no! Anyway, Doctor Figaro, you're drinking at this kind of place again-

What You Like About Doctor Figaro

Sage: Mitile, what do you like about Figaro?

Mitile: What I like about him? Um...
Mitile: I like how he’s a very knowledgeable person, and also how he takes care of me and my older brother.
Mitile: Ah, but perhaps we're the ones taking care of him more instead.

Sage: (That’s true, Mitile and Rutile would often bring back Figaro whenever he wanders off.)

Mitile: This is more something I admire about him rather than like, but he’s always so composed and feels like an adult that way. I find that cool.
Mitile: That’s why I want to be a cool wizard like him!
Mitile: Ah, but if Doctor Figaro knows I said all this he might get carried away, so this is a secret, okay?
Mitile: He might say stuff like “keeping composure is the secret to being a cool adult” and trouble us by disappearing again.
Sage: (Even though he says it’s trouble, he’s smiling anyway)

Sage: Mitile, you love Figaro, don’t you?

Mitile: Yes! I love Doctor Figaro!
