Heyy, I was wondering if you knew anything about Jude's and Elbert's relationship.. I haven't played many Ikevillain routes yet but I played both Jude's and Elbert's and I feel like Elbert is everything Jude would hate in a person (excluding mistreating or extorting the poor which Elbert doesn't do ofc).
I've seen Jude clash and "work together" with Roger and Al, we know that he doesn't like Victor, Ellis obviously is closest to him, Harry and Jude seem to have some sort of mutual respect for each other but like to stay out each other's way (?) and.. i don't particularly care about William or Vogel tbh.
I'd also be interested in Liam and Jude's relationship.. I know nothing about Liam but some events made me think Jude kind of treats Liam like a..puppy or sth... I might be wrong though haha
So.. any insights or have you perhaps seen or read an event where they have more to do with each other?
Sorry for the monologue and thank you for all the hard translation work!! :)
Hey, Hey Anon!
Thanks for the ask, since this will contain spoilers for Jude & Elbie, please see below the cut.
Elbie & Jude: In Jude's route release event, there were badges you could obtain of Jude's relationship with each suitor. His & Elbie's badge is titled "Regular Customer." Elbie is actually a client of Jude's company.
Also, there will be an upcoming Past Records event for Elbie & Al, which centers around them paying Jude back on some past due invoices.
Jude treats Elbie like he does any sort of his clients, applying exorbitant interest fees by the day, threatening to come collect the debt himself, etc. However, it is notable that Jude allows Elbie to pay him back the entirety of his debt within three days interest free. Call it what you will, but I believe that is Jude's way of being considerate of their plight, or at the very least a way to encourage Elbie's continued patronage in the future.
Other than their business relationship, Jude seems rather indifferent towards Elbie.
Liam & Jude: Jude views Liam as a "Valuable House Cat", which is the title of the badge for him & Liam. He even refers to Liam as 'cat' every now and then.
It was mentioned that when Jude met Liam, he told Liam that he would put his pretty face to use, and Liam allows him to do so, when his schedule allows. There was also a time when Jude got Liam a can of food....I believe it was sardines (?) Someone correct me if I am wrong. Anyway, he gave it to Liam because he figured it would satisfy Liam's curiosity. Of course, Jude charged him for it.
It's notable too that Jude has conversed with Liam in the past about products that are popular amongst women, as mentioned in his Butler CE. And this may just be me, but when Liam (and Ellis) suggested to Jude that he take the MC shopping...he caved when their eyes lit up.
This is all I can think of off the top of my head, I hope it helps some and if anyone can think of anything else, please feel free to add!
