In Search of Inspiration

Scarlet showed up at the training grounds way earlier than usual.

Shouldn't you still be over at Candle Square right now?

Scarlet

Hah! I knew you'd ask that!

Scarlet

Truth is, there was a bit of a... situation. We're doing repairs, so the Candle Square office is down for now.

Scarlet

Which means... no paperwork!

Scarlet

A tragic loss, truly!

Scarlet

Those pitiful paper pushers missed the chance to witness a Dragon's wisdom.

She says it's tragic, but her tail's wagging like she just won the lottery.

Right... A situation, huh?

You stirred up trouble again, didn't you?

Scarlet

N-no, that's not true!

Scarlet

I was just trying to make pancakes!

Scarlet

It was all a series of unfortunate events, that's all! Anyway, forget that, human Captain!

Scarlet

Finally, a day off!

Scarlet

A perfect time to set off on a grand adventure for inspiration!

Inspiration?

Scarlet

That's right! The greatest artists take their daily lives and turn them into inspiration! Then boom! Masterpieces are born!

Scarlet

And the path of the Grand Couturier is the perfect path for a true artist.

Scarlet

So of course, the only logical course of action is...

Scarlet

Live life to the fullest and find inspiration wherever it strikes!

You just want to goof off...

Scarlet

S-silence! Just follow me already!

As we walked through town, a lot of people recognized Scarlet.

Restaurant Owner

Scarlet! Out and about today?

Scarlet

Hahaha! Today, we're going on an adventure for inspiration!

Restaurant Owner

An adventure, huh?

Scarlet

A mighty one!

Restaurant Owner

Well, if you're not too busy on your adventure, would you mind helping a poor citizen in distress?

Scarlet

If help is what you need, then Scarlet shall deliver!

Scarlet grabbed a huge wrench and helped the restaurant owner with a stuck faucet.

No matter how much she grunted and twisted, it wouldn't budge.

Scarlet

Ha! What a stubborn little scoundrel!

Scarlet

Then there is just the medication.

She hopped onto the wrench and began bouncing up and down.

Somehow, she started having the time of her life.

Scarlet

Hahahaha! Submit, puny plumbing! You stand no chance against the power of the Dragons!

Restaurant Owner

There it is!

Restaurant Owner

Just a bit higher now!

Middle-Aged Man

Oh, Scarlet! What are you doing here?

Scarlet

Hah! Good to see you, human!

Middle-Aged Man

Perfect timing. I was just thinking of tearing this house down and building a new one... but it's taking longer than expected.

Middle-Aged Man

Think you could give me a hand?

Scarlet

Hah! Leave it to me!

Scarlet

HYAAH!

Scarlet threw herself at the crumbling wall without a moment's hesitation.

Scarlet

Hahaha! I'll tear it all down! Down to the last brick!

Middle-Aged Man

Great job Scarlet!

Middle-Aged Man

You're making it look easy!

And it didn't stop there...

Florist

Scarlet!

Peddler

Yoo-hoo! Over here! Scarlet!

Guard

Hey, Scarlet! You busy?

More and more people started calling her over.

But after a while, it didn't really seem like they needed help.

It was as if they were just giving her something to do. Something to channel all that energy.

Kind of like... throwing a frisbee to a dog.

Scarlet

Hahaha! That all you've got, humans?

A very, very loud dog.

Girl

Scarlet! Here! Over here!

Another frisbee...

Scarlet

Tch. Again?! So be it! Brace yourself!

People

Great job Scarlet!

I used to think she was just reckless. Turns out, the townspeople already figured out how to deal with her.

Well, as long as she's happy, the details don't matter, right?

...Right?

Scarlet

Okay, what's next?!
