Present Reactions[]
When you give Peko a present, she will give you a different reaction depending on how much she likes it. There are multiple possible reactions for each "tier" of present, and which of the reactions you receive is random. Each line is a separate response.
Loves
Wh-What!? You're giving this to me!? Hajime...you...! I will never forget this favor for the rest of my life!
Is it really acceptable for me to receive this? ...No, I will not question your sincerity. Thank you, Hajime.
Likes
I see...that is quite an item. You're a high caliber man if you're giving away such an astounding item for free.
Hm...what an interesting item. Thank you, Hajime. I shall use it well.
OK
...It will not benefit you at all to give me a present. However, if you're willing to give me one, I shall gladly accept it.
Hm... Then I guess I shall receive this for now. I cannot bring myself to lower your reputation by wholeheartedly refusing it.
Are you giving this to me? Hm, you're right. It might be useful for something. ...Many thanks.
Dislikes
...I appreciate your feelings, but this is simply too grand for me. Give it to someone else.
So you're giving that to me. Hmm... ...I apologize. I tried my best but as I thought, it seems I have no use for this.
It's unfortunate, but this is something I do not need. I shall gladly accept your feelings alone.
Hates
Hajime... Although I never intended this... It seems that I really must cut you...
...Leave with that thing at once, without saying a word. ...If you want to live.

Free Time Event Introductions[]
Depending on which Free Time segment during the main story you choose to initiate a Free Time Event with Peko, you will receive a different piece of introductory dialogue.
This section is not yet complete.
Introduction 1
I'm sure everyone believes they don't want to fight, but...
I guess you don't always get what you want.
What should I do? Should I hang out with Peko?
Invite Peko to hang out / See who else is around
I'm a little tired from the commotion during breakfast... Let's relax for a bit.
I took a relaxing walk with Peko today.
I think Peko and I grew a little closer...
Introduction 2
What is it? Do you need me?
What should I do? Should I hang out with Peko?
Invite Peko to hang out / See who else is around
Sure, I don't mind.
However, I don't know if I'll have anything interesting to say...
I spent time today discussing various things with Peko.
I think Peko and I grew a little closer...
Free Time Event Dialogue and Option Guide[]
Full dialogue from Peko's Free Time Events:
Introduction (Page 1)[]
???
...State your business.
Well, I just want to introduce myself. Is that all right with you...?
An introduction...
Understood, I don't mind.
I'm Hajime Hinata. Nice to meet you.
My name is Peko Pekoyama. It is nice to meet you, too.
This dignified-looking woman is known as the Ultimate Swordswoman. It's hard to believe someone with a cute name like Peko Pekoyama could be so skilled with a blade. I've heard she's a kendo master and that most adult men don't even stand a chance against her.
Well, there's definitely something up with her... Her eyes are really intense.
If what that rabbit said is true, we are expected to live together on this island.
Yeah, you're right...
It is necessary for men and women who live together to respect each other. Don't try anything inappropriate...
I would prefer...not to kill anyone.
Kill...? Isn't that sword on your back made of bamboo?
Though it may seem impossible to kill someone with this, a misaimed blow can be fatal.
Well, an aimed blow can be fatal, too...
... ...I'll keep that in mind.
Obtained Hope Fragment.
Free Time Event 1 (Page 2)[]
Invite Peko to hang out
...
...
It's cool that we're hanging out but we're not really talking about anything... Hey Peko, do you like kendo?
Yes. ...
Th-This conversation isn't progressing! Ummmm... Is your house a kendo dojo?
...Sort of.
S-Sort of?
Is there something wrong with that?
N-No... I was just wondering. Peko's stare is really intense... It might be best if I change the subject. Um, let's see... A topic that probably won't offend her too much...
Ah, I know! Peko, what level are you?
...Are you talking about my kendo level? I don't have one.
Huh?
Dojo trainees typically earn levels corresponding to their years of training. However, I have no need for that.
Why...? Don't people normally aim for that kind of advancement?
I have no such aim. My destination has already been decided. Protect who I must protect, cut who I must cut. That alone is the original purpose of the sword. Wielding a blade in its truest sense in my aim...
That is my reason for existing. To achieve that....I have no use whatsoever for meaningless levels determined by arbitrary rules.
I see... Peko isn't just a typical kendo athlete. She truly is the Ultimate Swordswoman... How could I ask such a foolish question about levels...? I...don't really know much about kendo.
But I think you're really cool. You're kind of like a samurai.
R-Really cool...? You say such strange things...! N-No one has ever said that to me before... Um...well...th-thank...
...Never mind.
She seems...very awkward. Is she blushing?
... However...because of the path I've chosen, there are things I've lost as well. Warm, irreplaceable things...
What did you lose...?
...Fluffiness.
Fluffiness...?
There are things that are warm, fluffy, and soft... The cat that came to visit the dojo, my childhood friend's dog, and even the finch I had as a pet...
But all animals can sense my menacing presence and run away from me. I just...want to touch their soft fur and fluffy feathers to my heart's content...
I-I see... That's really painful. I'm really surprised. I thought she was going to talk about an event from her past or something.
...Oh, then what about asking Gundham if you can touch his hamsters the next time you see him? He might be able to help you out. He probably knows a way to keep animals from running away from you.
Hajime, thank you for your advice. If you'd like...please come talk to me again. Good bye.
Peko walked off in a hurry. She must be really desperate to touch something fluffy...
But based on this, I feel like I was able to significantly close the distance between me and Peko. Next time...I might be able to talk to her normally.
I decided to go back to my room for now...

Free Time Event 2 (Page 3)[]
Invite Peko to hang out
You mentioned earlier that you don't know much about swords, right?
Yeah...I've never held a bamboo sword before.
People cannot be judged by the appearances... So you've held an actual sword...just not a bamboo sword.
O-Of course not... I've only ever held toy swords...not bamboo or real swords.
I see... So you're saying you have no use for a sword. Then are you a striker? Or maybe you’re a grappler?
No, perhaps you are well versed in firearms...
Wait, hold on... What are you talking about? Let me explain it more clearly. I completely suck at all those things. I'm not saying I have poor reflexes, but I already know I'm not the warrior type.
I see... Given your strangely perceptive way of seeing things, I assumed that you were, but...
Just as you said, you do not have the presence of a warrior. Even if you lost your actual memories, you would not easily lost your muscle memory.
Which means...you are not suited for battle in the slightest.
Peko gave me a terse stare, and I couldn't help feeling a tingle run up my spine. Is she...trying to figure out my talent? Does she want to know what it is just in case I pose a threat...? I-I don't intend to fight my friends at all. I definitely don't want to do that...
I see... ...If that's the case, then we must be extremely cautious of *those* two.
They know the difference between weakness and strength, and they can compensate for each other's weaknesses... And they both have impressive offensive capabilities. Hmmm... If those two formed an alliance, they could truly pose an unmanageable threat.
The dangerous alliance Peko is talking about... She's probably talking about them, right?
Fuyuhiko and Kazuichi
A dangerous alliance... Are you talking about Fuyuhiko and Kazuichi?
It seems impossible to think that those two would team in the first place, don't you think?
...Right. The more I think about it, there's no way they'd ever get along.
Mikan and Ibuki
A dangerous alliance... Are you talking about Mikan and Ibuki?
... I-I suppose...they may pose a threat in a sense that they're completely unpredictable...
It doesn't like Peko's talking about them...
Akane and Nekomaru
A dangerous alliance... Are you talking about Akane and Nekomaru?
Though they would only fight in self-defense, they are both perfectly at ease doing it. Plus, the combination of an impressive athlete and team manager poses a formidable threat. Not just that...though they do not specialize as fighters, their fighting prowess is incredibly high.
However...if something were to happen...
H-Hold on! What are you talking about!? I-It's pretty weird that you're assuming we'd ever need to fight them in the first place. We'll get out of this place if we cooperate with each other. Why do we need to think about fighting anyone?
... Hajime...you speak the truth. I, too, would prefer to avoid any senseless killing.
However...there are times when swords must be drawn. Whether you want that...or not.
What does that mean?
Every human being has a duty to fulfill their destiny... That will never change, and...there is no need for it to ever change.
However...I do not dislike your way of thinking, Hajime.
Huh...? Ah! Hey Peko!
But even though I called for her, Peko walked away without looking back at me once... I thought I was understanding Peko, but now I feel like I don't know her at all.
I should go back to my room for now...

...
It feels like she's making an even more intense face than usual.
...
I-Is she worried about something...? I can't tell if I should ask or not...
...
H-Hey, are you all right!? You're starting to turn pale!
Was I...?
Wh-What...? What were you even trying to do?
W-Well...actually... ...I was trying to smile.
...Huh?
Mahiru told me that...I'm the only one who doesn't smile for her pictures. So...I thought I should do something about it, but it's harder than I thought.
So...will you try to make me laugh?
Th-This is sudden!
Anything is fine as long as it's funny, so give it a try.
You're acting like you lowered the bar, but it's still really high!
...I know. If it's possible, I'd like it to have something to do with animals. That might be something that stirs warm feelings inside me.
Th-That may be, but...
Um, then...
Turtle...
The bashful turtle...turtle up! ...Just kidding.
...
Damn...tough crowd.
Elephant.
What do you get when you across an elephant with a rhino...? Elephino! ...Just kidding.
...
Y-You don't have to look at me like I'm pathetic...
Panda
A panda walks into a restaurant, eats, shoots, and leaves!
I already know they do that.
Crap...I botched the delivery. And it's not even that clever of a joke...!
However...pandas are nice. Their white and black fur is very adorable and fluffy... Someday...I would like to try to touch one...
Peko's face seemed to soften a little when she said that... Even though my joke completely failed to land, well, I guess this'll do.
You helped me, Hajime... I can't really smile that well. I've been like this ever since I was young. The childhood friend I always played with used to cry and say my face was scary. There was also a time when...my first love coldly told me that, too. Even so... I never really needed to smile, so I never thought about it all that much... And because I completely neglected it, I forgot how to do it entirely.
It's...not normal for someone to forget how to smile. Was she subjected to an outrageous amount of harsh training? Or is there some other reason...?
...Hajime? What's wrong?
Ah...nothing. Anyway...I'll make sure to tell you a funnier joke next time.
That would be wonderful. I'll be looking forward to it.
I kept chatting with Peko for a while and spent time thinking of ideas for funny jokes.
After parting ways with Peko, I decided to return to my room for now...

Free Time Event 4 (Page 5)[]
Invite Peko to hang out
Listen to this, Hajime... I have discovered a revolutionary technique.
A revolutionary technique...? ...Are you talking about how to smile?
I have not attempted it yet, but I have properly memorized how to do it.
First, I must hook my fingers to both sides of my mouth. And if I pull them to the side and up a little, it will resemble smiling.
Th-That's just for show, though...
However, that is not all. Apparently there is a magic spell you can use in this state to make yourself and anyone else laugh.
M-Magic spell...?
Apparently, I must pull both sides of my mouth with my fingers and chant, "I was born on a pirate ship". Though I'm skeptical, I shall attempt it.
No...stop... This is a prank little kids play on each other... A magic spell? Really? Jeez, Hiyoko...you do a lot of screwed up things.
...Hajime, why did you stop me?
It's nothing you've done wrong, but I don’t think you can really call that a smile... ...I think it'll be more like a smirk or something similar to that.
I see... So...just as I thought, there is no way for me to make someone smile since I'm incapable of smiling.
N-No...I didn't mean it like that...
Mahiru showed me her photos the other day. They were filled with images of smiling faces. I don't know how else to say this, but...they were very nice photos. I learned that smiles give people power.
And...I remembered when I was a kid. There was a time when my childhood friend and I nearly got lost in the mountains...
Lost in the mountains...? Did you wander away from your parents?
No...we were forced into someone's car...
I-Isn't that kidnapping!?
Well, it was fine until I saw a chance for us to escape... Afterward, we got lost in the mountains.
Y-You're being really calm about this, but...that's an intense situation.
I desperately tried to cheer up my friend, but I was also scared and worried. My friend could sense that as well...so in the end, I ended up making him cry...
If I had been able to smile and tell him that everything was going to be okay, even if it was a lie... I might've been able to take away his fear. Hmph, I haven't grown at all since then.
So what happened? Were you both saved?
Of course. My sword is a tool to protect people. I made sure I protected my friend.
Protect, huh... Peko became strong for that sake...but because she became too strong...
Hey Peko... I want to help out too, if you don't mind.
Huh...?
Let me help you until you can finally smile on your own. Isn't it too early to give up now?
I see... Hajime... To tell you the truth, there is more thing I would like you to do.
...Me?
I-I need, um... ...
N-No...wait, hold on... I need to prepare myself a bit more. When the time comes, I'll tell you... So until then, please forget what I said. Excuse me.
I don't really understand but Peko quickly vanished... ...Why were her cheeks red? Could it be...? ...
N-No...that's impossible... There's no way Peko is interested in me... There's no way...right?
As I went back to my room, I kept telling myself over and over that there's no way...

Invite Peko to hang out
Hajime, um...about our previous matter.
Y-Yeah...? S-So the time has finally come... I-I don't really know why, but...my heart is racing like crazy...!
...This place is no good. Let's talk somewhere else.
I followed Peko until we arrived at the beach. We were completely alone.
...
Peko's blushing. She looks like she wants to say something but she's keeping silent. This is it... There's no question... I should man up and say it first.
I...
Let's just be friends
Peko... Why...don't we just be friends?
... ... You...want to be my friend? You're really strange for saying you want to be friends with me.
H-Huh...? Did I make a mistake somehow...?
I love you
...I love you, Peko.
...
...What are you talking about?
Huh!?
What do you mean "love"? I don't understand.
However, I'll hear you out. After all, you've been listening to me.
... C-Crap... I think it's something different...
So what do you want?
Um...I'm just going to ask you outright. What do you want me to do?
Y-Yes, of course... Actually... I-I was wondering if you could give me advice on asking someone out on a date.
D-Date!?
F-Fool! Don't say it out loud! What would happen if someone heard us!?
M-May I ask who you're interested in?
I can't say that. However, you're the only one I can ask for help with this. I beg of you... Consider it a big favor to me...
Th-The only thing I know for certain is... The person she wants to ask out...isn't me... Ha...haha... Well...that's obvious... I-I knew it...
Even if we are getting along...there's no way someone like Peko would ask me out... ...
If we're able to escape this island...I'm thinking about asking him out. And when I do...I want him to see my smiling face this time.
This time...? Do you mean...your childhood friend?
Right now...he's been forced to fight a lonely battle... ...A battle against himself.
A battle against himself...? Is he sick or something? Maybe that's why...Peko wants him to see her smile.
Fine...I got it... I'm not all that experienced myself, but... I think it's fine if you don't overthink it and just casually ask him, "Let's do something together." You want him to smile, right? You just have to make him feel like smiling.
I-It'd be great if I could do that, but...I don't know if I can...
Hmm... Then... Why don't you imagine his smiling face?
His...smiling face...? ...
I see... Now that you mention it, I remember this one incident... At the time...he had this really handsome smile...
...Jeez. I guess Peko does know how to smile.
That's it... As long as you make that face when you ask him out, there's no way he'd say no to you.
Hajime...even though it's only a little, I feel like I understand now. Smiling is not something you have to force. When your heart gets warm, smiles come to you naturally. I was too desperate to protect something...so I had completely forgotten something as simple as that.
Thank you. Thank you for making me remember...that which is most important to me.
No...I really didn't do much... ...By the way, what incident did you remember?
It's something that happened when we were kids. We went to the zoo and he ended up picking a fight with the king of the monkeys... To protect him, I threw myself into the fray...
As Peko reminisced about her childhood friend, she looked cuter than I'd ever seen her before. I'm...a little jealous of her friend...
But I guess...this is fine, too. Because now that Peko is opening up to me, there's no doubt that a strong bond has formed between us.
After staring at the ocean for a while and listening to Peko's stories, I went back to my room.
