Right. Now that I’m full, we can get going with the next test, right?

My father said that friends should be able to eat things together that they wouldn’t be able to eat if they were by themselves.

Do you think you can eat something disgusting with me? Something really gross?

I’ll test you!

• ‘Something disgusting...?’

I’m going to show you my special dish.

(He gets a gross-looking beetle out of his pocket.)

If you want to be truly great, then you have to be able to catch one of these. I caught this one all by myself!

Take it to Atifure and get her to fry it, then bring it back here. I’m friends with her so I know she’ll prepare it really well.

• ‘You don’t really want me to eat it, do you?’

What, are you scared?

You’re more of a scaredy-cat than you look. I’m not sure I can be friends with you after all.

I’m not scared of something like that. I can just eat it! Now you eat it! Prove your loyalty!

• ‘I’ll get someone to fry it.’
• ‘I can’t do that.’

Go ahead and run away if you’re so scared.

But just so you know, I can’t be friends with cowards.

Right then, I’ll wait for you to bring back those fried insects. Goodbye.

• You end the conversation.

Do as Theorus asked you to so that you can be friends.

What brings you here, Daeva?

I was just wondering how Theorus is doing. Hehe.

I feel so sorry for that boy.

Ah, my heart is in the right place.

Anyway. Have you spoken to Theorus?

• You wordlessly hand over the beetle.

Eek, what is that disgusting thing?!

Take it away!

• You explain everything you’ve been doing.

(sniffle) Poor Theorus... Ugh! Gross!... Huff, okay I guess. Just wait a second.

(You smell a disgusting fried food smell.)

I’m just too kind-hearted... Aaaaah! Icky...

Eeek! I think it just moved!?

• You wait a moment.

Weren’t either of you scared? I’m a bit scared of bugs, myself. Hehe.

I’ll fry it, but only because I feel so sorry for Theorus... and because I’m so nice... I’m... I’m so nice... But don’t bring something like that here again!

Please take it away already! Ahhhh! Gross...

(She chucks the fried beetle back over to you, trying not to touch it.)

• You end the conversation.

Yes? Did you bring the fried food with you?

• You show it to him.

What? Are you joking?

You’re a coward. I won’t be friends with cowards.

Bring me something to eat or get lost. Don’t annoy me.

• You end the conversation.

Oh wow! You brought it!

Prove your loyalty to me. Eat it.

(You take a deep breath and bite into it.)

(Shortly after you finish chewing you hear the boy laughing.)

In order to become friends with Theorus, you had someone fry a bug for you and then ate it in front of Theorus.
