C:
Kamui: What's got you down, Anna? You looked so cheerful just a moment ago.
Anna: Wha, cheerful? You mean me?
Kamui: Huh? You don't remember? You showed me your entire lineup, and told me that "I was just in time for a great deal." You stuck some fancy cosmetics in my hand and said, "An IOU is enough payment for me."
Anna: Um... I never did that, though?
Kamui: No, really... when I refused, you said, "You can just pay off the interest with His Majesty Garon's signature"... and then you left, cheerfully saying, "I'm gonna make me some big bucks!"
Anna: That sounds a lot like me... but it just isn't.
Kamui: Huh? What do you mean?
Anna: That's one of my sisters. I've got a lot of sisters, and we've all got the same name, face, and occupation. We're spread out all over the world, so it wouldn't be strange for you to meet one of them, no matter where and when.
Kamui: Wow...
Anna: That's what's bothering me. It's only natural that our faces would look similar, but why do we have the same name on top of it all? I'm thinking of changing my name and getting some individuality... that's what's on my mind.
Kamui: ... Yeah, I'd wonder too...
B:
Kamui: Anna, what's with the gloomy fa- Wait, uh... You're the Anna from our army, right? You're the one who was thinking about her name the other day, right?
Anna: Yeah, I'm that Anna. No worries.
Kamui: Oh, phew. I was wondering what I'd do if I mistook you for someone else again.
Anna: Thanks for checking... but... sigh...
Kamui: What are you sighing about? Anything wrong?
Anna: I was thinking people wouldn't have to make sure if I had my own name, but I can't think of a good one. What's a good name for me, instead of Anna...? Got any good ideas? I'll buy them off you... No, I'd feel bad spending money for this... I'll go get His Majesty Garon's signature for you.
Kamui: Nah, I, uh... don't really need my father's signature for anything. In fact, I don't think he'd give you his signature even if you asked...
Anna: Well... that's true enough... Sigh... is there really a name out there that can express my individuality? Like... I wish I had a name that just dripped with my individuality.
Kamui: A name that just drips with your individuality... Hmm, maybe "Anna Unit 1", or "High-pressure Salesgirl", or "Moneylover"...
Anna: W-well, that does sound like me alright, but I don't think I want people calling me that. Besides, that's the way my sisters are, too...
Kamui: But what about your parents? Didn't they have a hard time?
Anna: Huh?
Kamui: I feel like giving all your kids the same name would be pretty inconvenient...
Anna: Indeed... how did they handle things back then...? I think I'll try thinking back.
Kamui: Alright. Let me know how that turns out.
A:
Kamui: Anna, what's up? You look happy today.
Anna: I've finally started thinking that maybe Anna isn't such a bad name after all.
Kamui: Oh, that's great. But... why the sudden change of heart?
Anna: After our last conversation, I thought back to the old days, when I still lived with my sisters. That's when I realized something incredible... Whenever my parents said "Anna", only one of us would respond.
Kamui: Huh? Why?
Anna: My parents had a different intonation for each one of us. "Anna" is just two syllables, but there's a lot of variations on its pronunciation. And, all of us Annas could tell the difference. It's easier to just do it, rather than trying to explain. Try saying my name with a few different intonations, would you?
Kamui: Alright... Anna.
Anna: ...
Kamui: Alright, let's do it differently this time. Anna.
Anna: You've gotta like... raise your tone on the "Na" in "Anna"
Kamui: O-Okay. Anna.
Anna: Yeah, there we go! That's my "Anna"! The "Na" on the tail end of my name is a bit higher than the rest. That's a name dripping with my individuality. See, my own tail-end is, in fact, a bit more raised up than the other Annas out there.
Kamui: Uh... huh. Is that so.
Anna: My parents might have given me the name in hopes that my life would be "on the rise." That's why I can have my own individuality and still be Anna. I'll be fine with being Anna now. Well, that doesn't solve the mystery of why we're all named "Anna"... but either way, thanks.
Kamui: Don't mention it. I'm happy for you, Anna.
Anna: I owe it to you for giving me this new outlook. You want His Majesty Garon's signature as thanks?
Kamui: ... No thanks, I'm fine.

KAMUI: Hey, Anna.
ANNA: Oh, Master Kamui! You've come at just the right time. A shipment of quality weapons just came in. Brand spanking new, every last one of them.
KAMUI: Really... Sorry, but... we've got enough weapons for now.
ANNA: Really... Then, what about armor?
KAMUI: I... think we've got enough of that, too. Sorry.
ANNA: Really... Oh, I know. You just reminded me I just got a shipment of something amazing.
KAMUI: Amazing?
ANNA: Yes... That would be... this flower!
KAMUI: I'll admit, I don't see this flower often, and it is pretty, but... what's so amazing about it?
ANNA: Its meaning in the language of flowers is what makes it amazing. It means... "get more of me."
KAMUI: Get more of me?
ANNA: Yep. As the saying goes, better things will happen to you the more you collect.
KAMUI: Wow, that is pretty amazing, if it works.
ANNA: Yeah, so how about it?
KAMUI: Alright, I'll take one.
ANNA: Fufu. Thanks for your patronage. I hope good things'll happen for you!

ANNA: Oh my, Master Kamui. A shipment of quality weapons just came in. Wanna have a look? Brand spanking new, every last one of them.
KAMUI: Uh, sorry. As I said before, we still don't need any new weapons.
ANNA: "Before" ... I don't get it, but if you've got enough, then I won't push the issue. So, how about armor?
KAMUI: Same for that. We should be fine for now. And actually, I think we've had this conversation before...
ANNA: Really? I don't remember anything about that... Oh, I know! I got a new product that's even better than any weapons or armor. Here, look at this flower!
KAMUI: This flower-
ANNA: May look like just a regular flower, yes, but one thing sets it apart from the rest.
KAMUI: Yeah, I know. It means "get more of me" in the language of flowers, and better things will happen to you the more you collect, right?
ANNA: H-how... did you-?
KAMUI: Well uh... that's because you told me the other day. I bought one from you, didn't I?
ANNA: ... I see. So that's what's going on. Master Kamui, that was one of my sisters.
KAMUI: One of your sisters...? What do you mean?
ANNA: Just stay calm and listen. We sisters... have the same name, same face, and same occupation. There are countless "Annas" like me scattered across all universes.
KAMUI: !? W-wait... what does that...
ANNA: But, I'm the Anna you saved from a bandit attack. Whether you believe me or not is up to you, though...
KAMUI: It's okay... I believe you. Now that you mention it, I think I've seen people like you all over the place...
ANNA: ... Okay. Well then, let's get back on track. How about a flower? You've never bought one from me, anyway.
KAMUI: ... You're right. I'll take one, then.
ANNA: Fufu. Thanks for your patronage. I hope good things'll happen for you!
A RANK
ANNA: Oh, you've come, Master Kamui.
KAMUI: What did you wanna talk about?
ANNA: ... Sorry... To tell the truth, I've been tricking you.
KAMUI: Huh?
ANNA: I really do have lots of sisters with the same name and face. But, both of the Annas who sold you flowers... were me.
KAMUI: ... I can't take this. My brain's getting all messed up....
ANNA: I can't blame you for that. Sorry. When I get money on my mind... I come up with these immoral ideas...
KAMUI: Immoral ideals?
ANNA: Well... I... thought that if I pretended to be my sisters, I could make people buy my flowers again and again... I'm sorry... I really am.
KAMUI: So why did you decide to come clean? If you never said anything, I never would have figured it out.
ANNA: ... Because lying to my friends to steal their money would make me the worst merchant ever. I'll give you a refund, so please, forgive me...
KAMUI: I don't need the money, and there's no need to forgive you either. I don't feel that I've been lied to in the first place.
ANNA: Huh?
KAMUI: I bought your flowers with my own money because I liked it. That's a fair deal, isn't it?
ANNA: Well... I guess so...
KAMUI: And it really is true that better things happen to me the more I collect of it, right? It's because of that flower that I got the luck of seeing this kinder side to you.
ANNA: You think so...? I'm happy you think so, but... I'm starting to worry that you might be a little too soft-hearted....
ANNA: ...
ANNA: Master Kamui, there's actually a trick to making sure people never pull a fast one on you while shopping. I'll teach you all about it.
KAMUI: Wow, really!? Thanks a lot!
ANNA: Ufufu. You really are soft-hearted if you're gonna trust me so easily. Aw, fine, I'll teach you all about how to be a merchant. This one's on the house.
S RANK
ANNA: Master Kamui, why'd you call for me out of the blue?
KAMUI: Anna, look at this.
ANNA: These are... the flowers I sell... You got enough for a whole flowerbed? That's amazing...
KAMUI: Yeah. After last time, I went out and bought this flower from all sorts of places, learned how to cultivate them, and grew my own. See? I... I even made a bouquet out of them.
ANNA: Oh, how pretty!
KAMUI: I want you to have it. Consider it thanks for teaching me about this flower.
ANNA: Huh!? Really? Thanks for the present.
KAMUI: ...
ANNA: Is something wrong, master Kamui?
KAMUI: In the language of flowers, this flower means-
ANNA: "Get more of me." Better things will happen the more you collect.
KAMUI: Yeah. I believed that if I got this many, I'd be able communicate my feelings to you... Anna, I want you to marry me.
ANNA: Huh?
KAMUI: I-Is that a no?
ANNA: ... Master Kamui.
KAMUI: Y-Yes?
ANNA: You're pretty talented. I think I'm in love.
KAMUI: Huh?
ANNA: We're gonna make it so people propose with bouquets of this flower from now on, not rings. "The more, the better" will be our selling point. Everyone's gonna start competing to get the most flowers for sure. And if we sell it as a package deal with the deed to a flower garden... we'll start a huge wave in the commerce world.
ANNA: Master Kamui, I gladly accept your proposal. Let's set off together to become the best merchants in the world.
KAMUI: Th-thanks... but... I feel like we're veering off-topic...
ANNA: I want as many children as we can make. Of course, they'll all be merchants. And then, we'll go out together as a family and make us some big bucks!
KAMUI: Uh, right...
ANNA: Well, now that we've settled that, we'll need to set a date for the ceremony right away... No, first I need to contact my sisters from around the world... Now how am I supposed to get in touch with them all...?
KAMUI: Sounds like we're gonna have a busy wedding. I can't wait...
