[Derrick’s House—Front yard]
Mitile: Hrrmph, come on, pleeease... Ugh, not even a spark.
Akira: What’s wrong, Mitile? Do you need a hand? I’ll help as much as I can, just say the word!
Mitile: Thank you. Actually, I was trying to start a fire with these stones, but it’s not really working.
Akira: That sounds like a tough nut to crack indeed.
…Wait, but I’m pretty sure you could set fire with magic though…
Mitile: I saw Mister Derrick light a fire that way earlier and, to be honest, I thought that was really cool.
That’s why I was trying to start a fire from scratch, just like he did.
And if I manage to set it up properly, I’ll be able to treat you to a freshly brewed cup of herbal tea, Master Sage!
Mitile: Hmmm... At least I got a few sparks this time, but it still won't start up.
…Sighs… Using magic may be quicker after all.
Akira: Mitile…
(That reminds me, but Rutile said something similar before… Brothers really do take after each other huh.)
Mitile: S-sorry, I didn’t mean to complain to you Master Sage…
Akira: Woah-wait, I should be apologising! I wasn’t blaming you or anything, I was just up in my head thinking about something else…
Mitile: Oh, really? Still, I think I'll keep at it a little bit more.
A tea brewed with hard work and determination can only be delicious after all!
