🦋 Chapter 1
/Chloe's room
Chloe : ... Something's off...
Chloe : I did trial-and-errors with tassels, beads, and I still don't get it. What decorations to put on these shoes so it'll be striking?
Murr : Chloe.
Chloe : Flashy ribbons?
Murr : Chloe~.
Chloe : Is it better if I put gemstones on it?
Murr : CHL! O! E!
Chloe : Agh!
Chloe : ... That surprised me. Don't shout to my ear--!
Murr : That's coz it seems like you didn't hear me! Your ears must be packed with stones, so I thought I'd blow it for you!
Chloe : Sorry, my head's full with these shoes' problem.
Murr : Are you busy, Chloe?
Chloe : If you said busy, yeah, pretty much.
Murr : Then play with me!
Chloe : Did you not listen!?
Murr : I heard! Let's play! While I'm still alive!
Chloe : Don't say bad omens like that! ... Right, then, can you be a model?
Murr : Sure! Model is what kind of game? Bite people?
Chloe : No bites! Model has to wear these.
Murr : Ahaha, pretty! Should I wear those with my feet?
Chloe : With your feet, please! ... Now, let's try putting another decoration. The studs... Uh, where?
Chloe : Sorry, Murr. I'll find those, wait there for a moment, okay.

🦋 Chapter 2
/Chloe's room
Chloe : Thanks for waiting... Uh, he's gone!
Chloe : Where did he go... Outside the room, I guess?
/Hallway
Chloe : ... Something was dropped.
Chloe : ... Beads? These were one of the shoes' temporary decorations.
Chloe : Seems like these fell from the shoes. So, that means Murr went this way...?
.
.
Chloe : Just as I thought. This time tassel was dropped.
Chloe : It's like Murr's footprint. ... That means, if I keep following it I can find Murr?
/Garden with a fountain
Chloe : Beads again.
/Dining hall
Chloe : These are jewels.
/Living room
Chloe : Umm, a piece of spangle?*
/Hallway
Chloe : Huh...? I feel like I'm just going around in full circle.
/Chloe's room
Chloe : I ended up in my room again... Murr--! Where--!
Murr : Here--!
Chloe : Murr!?
Murr : Where have you been, Chloe?
Chloe : That should be my question!
Murr : Ahaha! When will we start playing model, Chloe?
Chloe : Eh? Ah! That's right, the shoes! ... Almost no decorations left. Aah I see, I just have to find those.
Murr : Are you upset, Chloe?
Chloe : ... No, wait... It doesn't actually look bad?
Chloe : It looks better when there aren't many decorations... Is this what people mean by simple is the best...!?
Murr : Chloe's face brightened!
Chloe : Thank you Murr...! I finally got it!
Murr : ? I have no idea, but you're welcome!
