[Oh... She smiles.]

Actually, green's my favorite color too. Thank you.

[Pocketing it!]

But since you gave me a gift, I'll feel awful if I let you go without giving you something in return now. Let's go find something red or white, okay?

(If Monika ever tells anyone Tsurumaru Kuninaga is thoughtful or kind, he'll end himself, thanks.)

Is it? What a wonderful surprise!

(Wow, that worked out great.)

Yes! Let's see what we can find! And if you find any turtles, let me know, too.

[Can't wait to tell everyone that he's a very good person, 10/10, would recommend.]

Eh? Turtles? [With a bit of a laugh, baffled.] I will, but why?

(Stop no one is allowed to know. He needs to be cryptic and dramatic in public at all times or else he will literally die.)

Hm? So she can take us to the Dragon King's Palace, of course. And then we can ask him to take care of us instead.

Ahaha, like the one in that old story? Then if we find one, maybe we shouldn't open any boxes for a while. Just to be safe.

[cranelike]

Exactly!

(The exact story!)

Of course, if a spirit tells you not to do something, it's best not to do it. But I wonder... to give a box to someone and tell them not to open it seems rather cruel, don't you think?
