[It was a week ago during Tanabata when Elliot arrived in Luceti, when an incident involving a breakdancing guy in a wedding dress totally traumatized this young nobleman. That is definitely not the first thing a guy expects to wake up to. Ever. So that was special. But Elliot's settled in now, and the house is quieter than it used to be. There are people he wants to see again, and a very important matter he must take care of. That's why, after all this time, he finally turns to his journal.]

I guess I'm back. [He doesn't sound thrilled about it, but that's no surprise.] But Vincent and Leo are still gone. I wonder what makes me so damn special? Tch.

[...so maybe he's a little bitter. But the most important part of this post comes next:]

I've been here for a whole week and I still can't find my sword. It's black and has my family's crest on it. If anyone finds it, you'd better hand it over without a scratch, got it?! It's very important to me, so if there's any damage, I'm going to make you pay!

It better. [If his sword somehow managed to end up so far away, he would definitely punch something...!] I just hope someone hasn't run off with the thing already.

So what does it look like? It can't be common, if you want it back so badly.

I want it back so badly because it's mine. [Or, in other words, because he's sort of sentimental about it. He links to the part in his earlier conversation with Florian where he drew a picture of it.] It looks like this. It's all black, so it should be hard to miss.

[Walter takes a look at the drawing, half-listening to Elliot before commenting.]

It would be easy to miss if you lost it under a bush. [Well. If Elliot lost it.]

I-I didn't lose it. [This is a very important distinction! He flusters when he tries to "correct" him.] If it's really here, it's simply been... misplaced. That's all!

Extremely misplaced. [Now it's Walter's turn to "correct" him.]

It's not like I'm the one who misplaced it, so it doesn't matter.

[Because he would never.]

Whatever the case, it's not going to grow legs and walk off to find you. What places have you looked for it in so far?

Just the stores. I didn't think it could show up anywhere else.

So either you aren't looking hard enough or your sword isn't there at all. [Just what you should do when meeting a stranger -- accuse him of things.]

It's obviously not here.

[He can't accept that he's "not looking hard enough." Even if that's kind of true.]

Maybe you should start posting 'lost item' flyers around. [He's being partly sarcastic.]

Tch. If I did that, someone would definitely take it!

[He already felt kind of uncomfortable asking here as it is. He still found it hard to trust people, even if they've always been good to him here.]

[...While he isn't the most trusting of people either, the logic there escapes him.]

Wait. Why would they take it if they knew someone was looking for it?

How should I know? Some people are just stupid.

[And mean just for the sake of being mean, which is more what he expects.]

Or they intend to hold it for ransom. [That's the only other explanation that comes to mind.]

If anyone even dares to do something so shameful with it, I'll definitely beat them up!

[With or without his sword, he doesn't care.]

[Wow, what a threat from a weaponless wonder.]

Whatever the case, I doubt you're going to get results continue to implore over the journals.

You don't have to tell me that. I'm looking for it right now!

[...or, well. He's about to!!]

You're still talking.

I-I know what I'm doing, dammit!

So shouldn't you go do it? [Like he's helping at this point.]

[WOW, THIS GUY...]

It's not like it matters to you what I do!

You're the one you was asking for help. I'm helping. [In a terrible helpful way, but it counts!]

How the hell is this helping?
