What on earth do you have in your bag?

Are you training for something?

Ah, how beautiful I am.

Mmm, you must be an adventurer? What would you say? Have you seen somebody more beautiful than me? I doubt it. How can you find anyone more beautiful than me?

[

...Hmm, did I forget to wear something...?

Are you crazy!? Don't you know how wide the world is and how many beautiful people there are? You're pretty full of it, country girl!

Besides, if there was a most beautiful girl in the world it would be me, me, me!

Have you seen dancers dancing? Have you seen beautiful and pure priests?!

And nothing is like the kind Kafra Employees!!!

What!? You bastard!!

I hate you! Get out of my face!

Yes, you are really beautiful.

Huhu, oh you jest. You know what you're talking about. Ah, this is a Choco drink that I have made. Give it a taste, isn't it good?

I have never met a person ruder than you!

What? Why are you here? You get of my...

...Is that for me?

Well, I forgive.. eh?

What? Are you trying to trick me!?

Ok. Well, I forgive you.

Huhu, have you ever met anyone as beautiful as I am?

...You are the most beautiful...

Really? Everybody thinks so.

Ah, I forgot asking you.

Why are you here?

A Red Ring?!

Heh, what are you talking about? What is that?

Ah, that ring... Yes, my father gave it to my baby sister, Mashenka.

But, she went out to take a stroll and disappeared around the marsh.

Wait, your father told me that she died!

Right... Let me finish talking. We tried searching for her but we couldn't find her. She must have been wearing the ring when she disappeared around the marsh.

Ah, you come here again. What can I do for you?

... Listen to this song.

- You play the flute -

Red ring that my father gave me

The red ring enchanted

For the loveliest daughter

Red ring bringing up jealousy

Red ring enchanted

My sister envies

Cold hand tightening my neck

Cold eyes tightening my heart

Cold marsh swallowing my body

Red ring taken away

S, stop! You'd better stop!?

Isn't this voice Mashenka's!? What did you do to her!?

... I hated her. My father... father loved only her! He didn't talk to me, only to her!

I asked her to show me the ring. But, she wouldn't let me see it. She always got on my nerves! Stupid girl!

She was your sister! How can you speak like that!?

Your father needs to know about all of this!

No!!!

Give me that flute!

No! Your father has to know!

Please, I am begging you... Don't tell my father...

- Suddenly, she sheds -

- tears and kneels down -

I have been always worried that someone would find out... He has been feeling bad ever since what happened. How much worse would he feel if he knew the truth...?

Could you please ignore this? Give me that flute... Ah... The red ring? How about exchanging it for the ring? Don't you need this?

But...

Oh, please.. This is not only for my sake, but also for my old father.... please I beg you.

...Mmmm, what should I do...

Ok, I will do it.

No, I can't do it!

What!!!

I have to let your father know the truth! He has to know what you have done!

W, wait!!!

Are you sure!? Thank you!

I have to repent for my sins and atone for them for the rest of my life.

...!? Where is the flute!?

You give it back to me!
