Is What You Seek the Truth of Love?
(追い求めるは愛の直実? is likely a double-meaning title as there is no の following the 追い求める. The presence of the の would definitively indicate that the only meaning of the title is the first, “Is What You Seek the Truth of Love?” — by omitting it, the title can be interpreted in another way, “Is the Truth of Love an Obsessive Chase?”. We’ve included both titles in our graphic for this translation as a result, but the first is what appears on the wiki).
Part 1 — The Messengers’ Secret Meeting
~ One Early Afternoon ~
Ally: Ehhh?! Is that true?!
Annie: Yes, of course♪
Silvie: If it’s about love or affection, you can leave it to us! We’ll come roaring in with a BANG!
Ally: In that case… I’m excited to witness your work with my own eyes!
Odette: We’ll do our best to show you as many examples as possible!
Mao: Yes, let’s. We should give it all we’ve got while we’re at it.
Ally: Hehehe… My heart is pounding in anticipation!
Rafisol: …..? I am…somewhere I do not recognize…
???: Oh nooo! What do we do nooow?! We won’t meet the quota without her…!
Rafisol: …What was that? I heard something from over there…
Annie: Haaah… I wonder, did Serena forget about our plans for today?
Mao: It is Serena we’re talking about. She tends to lose track of time when she’s playing dress up.
Silvie: If we wait any longer, the day might be over before we get to amp things up!
Odette: Th…that’s something we must avoid at all costs! …Huh? Who is that…?
Rafisol: …What? You want something from me?
Odette: N…no. Not exactly… It’s just… You look similar to that girl… Ally…
Rafisol: Ally…
Odette: Actually, now that I look closer, you’re nothing alike! That was a mistake on my part!
Rafisol: ……
Mao: Hey there! You’ve got a nice, honest gaze. What’s your name?
Rafisol: I am…Rafisol…
Mao: Great. Could you maybe help us out a bit, Rafisol?
Rafisol: With what…?
Annie: Wait, Mao?! I don’t think we can just have a random amateur stand in for Serena like that!
Mao: Really? I think she’s got potential…
Annie: Hmm… Then I have a question for Rafisol here! Tell us, what exactly is “love” to you?
Rafisol: Love… I know not what that is… Regardless… I will seize all…
Odette: Wait, that’s just like Miss Serena! She’s always saying, “Never fear, I’ll capture your heart♪”
Annie: In that case… You pass! Let’s work hard together, Love Hunter Rafisol!
Rafisol: Love… Hunter…??
Mao: Fufu. Don’t worry, we’ll give you a rundown that’s easy to understand. We have one task today—to induce love in as many people as possible, throughout Pwurp… Simply put, to make others “Lovestruck”!
Rafisol: ……….
Odette: Ack, Miss Mao! It looks like you just confused Miss Rafisol even more!
Silvie: No two ways about it, then! It’s time for me to hit her with my own super-duper simple summary!
Rafisol: …Unnecessary. It is all…pointless…
Silvie: Ahahaha! No worries, it’s no trouble at all! Happy to explain! Since we’re runnin’ a tight schedule, how ‘bout we walk while I talk?
Rafisol: …I don’t understand. Why…do they keep misinterpreting my words…
Silvie: C’mon, full steam ahead! Blast off~!
Serena: Sorry to keep you waiting~! I got a lit~tle too absorbed in dressing up… Eh?
Serena: HUUUH?! Where’d everyone go—?!
Part 2 — Observing the Love that Sways in the Wind
Silvie: So lemme give it to you straight! First things first… We hunt for people who give off a Lovely Aura!
Rafisol: Lovely…Aura…
Silvie: Yeah! Once that Lovely Aura’s in sight, that’s your “cue” to take it away! Everythin’ after that is all up to you! BAM! And then you’re done!
Rafisol: … … …
Mao: Fufu. Nervous? Don’t worry. You only need to take it one step at a time.
Annie: All right, everyone! Let’s split up and get started!
Odette: Roger! See you all at our next progress report!
Love Hunter Rafisol: …I still don’t understand. At all…
Emilion: There, there, good flower…
Love Hunter Rafisol: … … …
Emilion: You like the vase I made that much? What an adorkable sprout you are. Hehehehe…
Love Hunter Rafisol: …Is that a…“Lovely Aura”?
Emilion: Augh! You there… How long have you been watching?! C…can you pretend like you didn’t see anything?
Love Hunter Rafisol: …Fine. In return, I want you to explain… Why you were talking to that flower with such affection…
Emilion: D-didn’t we just agree not to talk about that…?! …Well if you’re not gonna make fun of me, then… Fine. It’s ‘cause…I love flowers. I made this flower a vase because I wanted it to be happy.
Love Hunter Rafisol: You wanted the flower…to be happy?
Emilion: Yeah, that’s right. This might just look like any ol’ flower to you, but… Me and it, we have a heart-to-heart connection. “I feel the same, Emilion!” Hehehehe… I knew it!
Love Hunter Rafisol: “Love”… “Heart-to-heart”… And what seems to be a “Lovely Aura”… Comprehension still escapes me. But this must be that…“cue”?
~Flashback~
Annie: Hmm… Then I have a question for Rafisol here! Tell us, what exactly is “love” to you?
Rafisol: Love… I know not what that is… Regardless… I will seize all…
Odette: Wait, that’s just like Miss Serena! She’s always saying, “Never fear, I’ll capture your heart♪”
~Back to the Present~
Love Hunter Rafisol: …So here… I should…
Emilion: Hey! What are you grabbing my vase for?
Love Hunter Rafisol: I will…capture all…!
Emilion: AAH! W-WAIT! Where are you taking Francois?! I just made that vase! Let go!
Love Hunter Rafisol: More… If I capture more… I may understand something… …Even if it is all meaningless… Even still…
Part 3 — Love’s Many Names
Onion Pixie: On! On-on! Love’on!
Oniko: Oon! Love’on~♪
Love Hunter Rafisol: I found it… The Lovely Aura… My next…target…
Oniko: Oon?!
Love Hunter Rafisol: I shall…capture you…!
Oniko: O…onioooon!!
Onion Pixie: Ooon?! BAD’ON!
Kisaragi: Fufufu… My beloved Kuramasa is as beautiful as ever… Your blade glitters more ominous and dreary than any other…
Love Hunter Rafisol: ………
Kisaragi: Huh? Who are you? Would you mind not interrupting my quality time with Kuramasa?
Love Hunter Rafisol: That sword… I will…seize it…
Kisaragi: …What was that? Don’t tell me… You intend to sever the bond between me and Kuramasa?
Love Hunter Rafisol: So long as you are surrounded by a Lovely Aura… There is but one option…
Kisaragi: “Lovely Aura”…? The heck is that…?
Love Hunter Rafisol: Now… Hand it over…
Kisaragi: Aah! Wh-what are you doing that for?! Can’t you see that Kuramasa doesn’t like that?!
Love Hunter Rafisol: Is that…so…? I don’t understand…
Kisaragi: Now you’ve really done it…! Kuramasa hates being held there.
Kisaragi: Oh, but it loves being pet over here. Isn’t that right, Kuramasa? Fufufu…
Love Hunter Rafisol: …… This feels…extremely troublesome…
Love Hunter Rafisol: …Haah. I managed to capture this katana…
???: Ufufu… Aww, Satan~♪
Love Hunter Rafisol: …A voice… Someone is approaching…
Romance Hunter Rulue: “Taking a stroll with my lovely Rulue in such a sweetly nostalgic location is bliss!” you say… You’re coming on too strong, darling~!
Love Hunter Rafisol: My next target is… That statue…?
Love Hunter Rafisol: This time… Before anything can get in the way… I’ll seize it…!
Romance Hunter Rulue: EEK! My (3rd) Golden Darling Satan—?! Stop right there! You can’t just take people’s things as you please! What do you think you’re doing?!
Love Hunter Rafisol: …I do not know. But this is all for…the sake of “Love”…
Romance Hunter Rulue: The sake of love…? …Hey, don’t you dare run away from me! Return that to me this instant—!
Carbuncle: Gu-gu-gu-gugu~
*rustle rustle rustle*
Satan: Ooh Carbunny… You’re as adorable as ever! Mwahaha… I’ll jump out with a loud voice and give it a scare~! This’ll be “Satan’s Epic Heart-Pounding ★ Scare Operation”!
Satan: Heeey~! Carbunny~!
Carbuncle: Gugu?
Love Hunter Rafisol: I will capture…all there is to “love”!
Carbuncle: Gugugugu?! Guguu—!!
Satan: Wh…WhAT?! Wh-who was that?! A surprise attack as it may be, what insolent scoundrel would dare to whisk Carbunny away right before the Great Satan?!
Satan: I’m coming to save you, so hang tight, Carbunnyyyyy—!!
Part 4 — Love Nurtured by Time
Love Hunter Rafisol: Now… My next target is…
Serena: Wait, wait! You’re Rafisol, yes?!
Love Hunter Rafisol: …And you are?
Serena: My lovely name is Serena♪ I heard what happened, Rafisol! I’m very grateful that you covered for me when I was running just the tiniest bit late, but… You can’t go around taking the things people cherish, you know?
Love Hunter Rafisol: …Love is something to be captured. I was simply following those instructions…
Serena: Oh sheesh~! Now just who was it that taught you that nonsense…
Emilion: Haah… Haaah… Finally caught up…
Love Hunter Rafisol: …You’re from before…
Emilion: I’m so glad that nothing happened to my precious Francois…
Onion Pixie: On-on-o! Oni~on!
Oniko: Onion! Love’on~♪
Kisaragi: Ooh, Kuramasa…! You’re truly the only sword for me in this entire world…
Romance Hunter Rulue: My beloved Golden Darling Satan~! You mustn’t ever leave my side again!
Satan: My adorable Carbunny♪ Look, I came to pick you up~! Come, leap into my arms!♪
Carbuncle: Guguguu…
Romance Hunter Rulue: My, Darling Satan! Whatever are you doing here…? Oh! Did you come all this way because you were suddenly overtaken by the burning desire to see my face…?!
Satan: Huh? Ack, Rulue?! No… Uhh… I wouldn’t say that…
Romance Hunter Rulue: No need to be shy, Dar~ling Sa~tan! We can take all the time in the world to converse over there♪
Satan: I… I was planning on chatting with Carbunny, actually… Owww?! I get it! I’ll come with you, Rulue, so let go of my arm—!!
Carbuncle: Gu-gugu~♪
Serena: Ufufufu♪ Looks like you hit every bullseye after all, Rafisol!
Love Hunter Rafisol: …Huh?
Serena: By purposefully separating everyone from their beloved ones, you made them lovestruck all the more… That was your brilliant plan, right?
Love Hunter Rafisol: That was not…my intention.
Serena: Oh my, truly~? You know, Rafisol… I’d say you actually understand love very well… That’s how I feel, at least~♪
Love Hunter Rafisol: Love…? All I know about love comes from…
Ally: Now, let’s fall in love!
Lovestruck Ally S: Here… This is my love, from me to you!
Chance-meeting Ally: As long as you have love, you can meet whoever you wish, any number of times!
Kitty Ally: Me-wow! The paw-er of love is infinite!
Luminous Ally: Without further ado! Let’s fall in love more and more!!
Love Hunter Rafisol: I do not understand… The more I think about it…the less I comprehend…!
Serena: H-hey, are you alright? You look rather pale.
Love Hunter Rafisol: Love… In the end… I cannot understand it…
Serena: Ufufu♪ Don’t force yourself, Rafisol! It’s natural not to understand something as complex as “love”, after all♪
Love Hunter Rafisol: …Really?
Serena: Well… If you become the focus of all of Pwurp’s “Love Power” like me… You just might be able to comprehend what love truly is♪
Love Hunter Rafisol: …….
Serena: …Huh? Uhm, Rafisol? There’s no need to scowl like that…
Love Hunter Rafisol: If I seize that…“Love Power”… I will finally comprehend it…? This time…I’ll capture the truth of love…
Serena: W-wait, where are you going?!
Serena: Don’t tell me… Did she fly off to go steal things again?! Aaaack… If I don’t stop her soon… Being late won’t be the only thing they’ll be mad at me for!!
After this…the 5 Messengers of Love spent the whole day running after Rafisol all over the island?!
