Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (305)

Here's when Rena finally found out how dumb Claude is.

Claude doesn't seem to get any good prize at the races (except for a bottle of Seltzer... I hear it's getting more and more valuable), and he's bored to death; he thinks maybe some distraction is in order. Let's see... There's the Cooking Master, but Claude can't cook, and there's no match to watch right now. The shops... He's already taken a look there. The comic store? Naw, not interested. What about seeing a fortune teller? What do you know, it might even give him something to think about.

Claude approaches the fortune tellers' pavilion, but he notices that there's someone else other than the usual group of girls: it's Rena! At first Claude thinks he probably shouldn't pry, but the same thing happened with Celine back on Expel, so it can't be a bad thing; he quietly steps closer, trying to hear. To his surprise, Rena's asked the fortune teller specialized in romance readings, specifically about her compatibility with him; she's told that things are looking good, but also that she should take more initiative (Rena always gets the same reading, because for this event to occur Claude needs a high relationship level with her). Interesting.

Unfortunately, Claude is listening so intently to the reading that he doesn't realize Rena is done, and when she turns around she sees him, looks a bit embarrassed, and asks him how long he's been there. At this point you have three options, one of which making Claude admit to have heard everything and add that he's happy about it. The result is more or less what's shown on the screenshot above (Rena also says 'What a cliché!' while laughing... I have no idea what she meant by that).
