Menuki's worried expression rather spoils his otherwise formidable appearance.
I have a question─do I look imposing? Intimidating, perhaps?
Menuki
Sorry, you must think it strange I would ask such a thing. The truth is, I encountered a boy near one of the storerooms, and when I called out to him, he ran away at the sight of me! I was only trying to lend a helping hand!
Menuki
Later on, I learned that the place was used as a granary, so the lad was most likely searching for food. Now, thanks to me scaring him off, he probably had to go hungry.
Menuki
I couldn't live with myself if he starved because of me, though I fear he'd only run off if I tried to approach him. I wonder...perhaps you wouldn't mind going in my stead?
Menuki
Here, you might find him more easily with this telescope. May the kami guide you!
Menuki
If you have the chance, please tell him I mean no harm!
Boy04220
Wh-What do you want!?
Boy04220
Saw me, did you? So what!? I didn't do anything wrong! Finders keepers!
Boy04220
And this food ain't just for me─the others need it, too. I know you're just trying to help, but we can look after ourselves!
Boy04220
If your friend's worried about us, tell him we'll be all right. Until this food runs out, anyway.
Boy04220
What!? No, I don't need help carrying it! Just having a rest, that's all.
Menuki
Did you manage to track him down?
Menuki
That's a relief, though his outright refusal of our help is concerning.
Menuki
We came here with the best intentions, but barely a moment's consideration for how the people of Garlemald might feel towards us. I suppose it's only natural they'd be wary.
Menuki
If they won't accept our aid, we can still make their lives a little easier. We'll start by making the area around the granary safer, so they can gather food whenever they please. Here, I'd like you to have this for giving me peace of mind.
