When you give Celestia a present, she will give you a different reaction depending on how much she likes it. There are two possible reactions for each "tier" of present, and which of the two reactions you receive is random. Each line is a separate response.
Loves
Interesting! The gods heard my prayer, and my wish has been granted! Hmhmhm. This is all because of my daily sympathy and compassion, is it not?
So I can have this...? I may have to revise my initial impression of you... Hmhm. The more wonderful things I receive from you, the better impression I get!
Likes
Ah, are you paying tribute to me? How delightful...
... ...Do you understand the sense of gratitude I am trying to convey to you? ...
OK
I am the type of person who cannot decline a gift. So I have no choice but to accept this. But I want to stress that it is only because of my sense of duty.
Ah, it just so happens that the one thing I was hoping for has appeared before me. It must be a gift from the heavens. I will receive it happily...
Dislikes
Trying to draw me in with vulgar trinkets? How unappealing... Could you perhaps bring me something a little more befitting someone of my standing?
Oh, how wonderful! You can throw it in the trash on your way out.
Hates
... I am so angry I cannot speak right now. ...
Well now, this is quite the problem. I don't want my clothes to get dirty, so I am afraid I can't accept this garbage.

Full dialogue from Celeste's Free Time Events:
Introduction[]
???
I do not think we have been introduced. I am Celestia Ludenberg.
Celestia...Luden...huh?
Ludenberg. It is my name. But if you don't mind, I would prefer for you to call me Celeste.
Um...You *are* Japanese, right?
Of course. Why do you ask?
If you don't mind...could you tell me your real name?
Heh-heh. I don't know what you are talking about. Celestia Ludenberg *is* my real name. But as I mentioned, I would much rather you call me Celeste.
She's polite, but pretty forceful at the same time. I don't think she wants to say any more about it...
I guess the rumors in that thread were right about her...
The self styled "Celestia Ludenberg", she's the Ultimate Gambler who's never lost a bet. Other than her obvious love of gothic lolita clothes, everything about her is wrapped in a veil of lies. They say she entered and won an underground gambling tournament, earning the title "Queen of Liars." She totally cleaned out the other players, taking their life savings and laughing as she did it.
I look forward to getting to know you better.
Heh-heh-heh...
That smile is beyond deceptive. I'd better watch myself around her...

Makoto, I would like to share something with you.
Huh? What is it...?
My perfect gambling strategy.
Is there really such a thing!?
Of course there is. Are you ready? Please pay attention. Whatever the game, you must have a mind for strategy. This will allow you increase your odds of winning. However, the exciting part about gambling is that there is a power which can overwhelm any strategy.
There is...
That power is...luck.
Luck...
There are only two types of luck—good and bad. There is no in-between. And that luck is built into every human at the moment of conception. Like a computer program.
Some call it fate. The bottom line is, luck is life.
Do you see what I am saying?
You mean...that's your "perfect strategy"?
Correct. You see, I was programmed to have good luck when it comes to gambling. This is why I have never lost.
So that's all there is to it...?
You are the Ultimate Lucky Student, yes? Does this perhaps exceed my own luck...? One day, I hope to put that to the test.
Hmhmm. Well then, have a nice day.
Without another word, Celeste quietly disappeared. ... I'd say my life's been more bad luck than good lately. Gambling's probably not a great idea for me...
After parting ways with Celeste, I went back to my room.
Celeste's Report Card has been updated based on your experience with her. Your maximum number of Skill Points has increased!
It was a truly fierce contest, put on by a half-insane billionaire in the basement of his mansion. My opponents were a fierce old man and a silver-haired boy who was said to have the devil's own luck.[1] We played with a modified rule set. I remember well the glass tiles we used...
And you won...?
I defeated them both at once. I will never forget the angry, twisted looks on their faces. The crowd that been invited to watch became positively riotous. Nobody could believe I had won. Hmhmhm. That is one of my fonder memories...
... I'm really glad I didn't agree to play mahjong with her...
Unable to comprehend Celeste's fearsome past, I went back to my room.

Celestia Ludenberg. Celestia...Ludenberg...
What are you doing...?
No matter how many times I hear it, I'm never tired of hearing my own name. Isn't it so splendidly charming?
Oh yeah, I've been wondering about that. Why *that* name?
...Why?
I mean, is it from something? Why'd you pick it?
I did not *pick* it. My name was given to me by my mother and father...
Come on, that can't be your real name, can it?
It is, indeed, my real name. Make no mistake about that.
Okay, so your parents gave you that name?
That's right. My father is French nobility, and my mother is part of a German family of musicians.
There's no way that's true... But okay, so were you born in France or Germany?
Tochigi.
Now we're getting somewhere...
I was born in the capital of Tochigi, which is known for its delicious gyoza. Do you know of which city I speak?
So it's the capital of Tochigi, and it's famous for its gyoza...
You must excuse me. I simply wasn't anticipating an answer like that... Any elementary school child knows what the capital of Tochigi is, so naturally...
That is correct. You have proven you are roughly as intelligent as an elementary school student.
Or a high schooler, maybe...?
You may be surprised to learn that I absolutely adore gyoza. I love its stench, its base vulgarity.
So as you can imagine, I'm quite disappointed that I will never taste my hometown's gyoza again.
Never say never, you know...? Once we get out of here-
We will never get out of here. How long will you continue with this ridiculousness? You should give up.
If you don't, it can only lead to murder...
Celeste's eerie words stuck with me long after she'd left. The more I talk to her, the more I just don't understand her...
Once I was all finished, I headed back to my room.

Hello, Makoto. I must say, I am quite troubled...
Huh? How come?
I'd like you to teach me something.
What...?
I want you to teach me how to play shogi.
Oh, uh... Sorry, I don't know how to play, either.
I see... You really are useless, aren't you?
Uh, okay... But I'm surprised you don't know how to play. Is it because there's no, like, shogi gambling circuit?
Oh, there most certainly is.
What, really?
But it is all underground. It is rather shady, all things considered. I have tried my own hand at it, naturally.
Wait, even though you don't know how to play?
That is why I wish to learn now. I placed my pieces on the board without even thinking. What on Earth was I doing...?
And you still tried to win an underground shogi tournament?
Tried? Oh, no. I did win.
You won!?
I didn't really understand, but apparently my final opponent was infamously powerful. She was...rather odd. She was a voluptuous who dressed as an exotic French maid.[2]
But...how did you win?
Beginner's luck, perhaps?
I don't think beginner's luck works in shogi...
Hmhmhm. Is that so?
Yup. The more I learn about Celeste, the less I understand her...
Reeling from Celeste's fearsome past, I went back to my room.

Hmhmhm. Look how quickly we have become close friends, Makoto.
Have we...?
So let me share with you something... I will tell you about the biggest crisis I ever faced in my gambling life.
Biggest...? You had a gambling crisis? What happened...?
A shadowy organization was hosting a mysterious tournament... The game in which I participated was called King of Liars.
King of Liars...?
It was quite a severe game. When you enter, they strip you of all your assets. Money, property, everything. You must use your wisdom, cunning, and luck to battle through challenge after challenge. For the final match I had to face off with an odd duo... They called themselves the Honest Woman and the Liar Genius.[3]
Who, they sound pretty scary...
Oh, that part is not important. But during a break, I was careless and spilled some tea on my clothes. I was terrified that the stain would never come out. That was a very difficult time in my life.
...Huh?
I was forced to win more quickly than I wanted, so that I could rush to the cleaners. I was able to get the stain out, but it was perilously close...
If I had waited even another hour, I would have been forced to throw out my favorite dress.
... That was her "crisis"? The biggest crisis she ever faced...? I just... don't even know what to say.
Positively dizzy from Celeste's fearsome past, I went back to my room.

Umm...Mr. Makoto Naegi...?
Wh-What's with the formality?
Well...you see...I was hoping we could talk. Just the two of us. Could you come to my room, please?
Y-Your room!?
...I will be waiting.
... Wh-What am I suppose to make of this? Inviting me to her room all of a sudden... And she seemed almost... shy. No, I must have just imagined it.
I did what Celeste asked and headed to her room right away.
I'm glad you came, Makoto...
So this is Celeste's room...
Anyway, what's going on? Why'd you ask me to come here?
I received the results...
Results...?
The child growing in my belly... It's yours.
Wait, sorry. Wrong results.
You can't just say stuff like that!
Congratulations! You have moved up a rank! You are now C-rank!
Huh? C-rank...?
Oh, I have a habit of ranking those around me.
What kind of habit is that...?
The most common is D-rank. I have no interest in D-rank. Most everyone at this school fits into that category. The worst is F-rank. If you're F-rank... ...I pay a special organization to have you killed. Your very existence is unforgivable.
I hope she's joking... She doesn't *sound* like she's joking, but I hope she's joking...
Conversely, the very best is A-rank. But among everyone I have met, across all countries, I have never found a B-rank, let alone A-rank.
So you being promoted to C-rank is a very great honor.
I-I see...
Also, when you become C-rank, you gain the right to become my official servant—a knight.
Wow, I had no idea...
I have knights all across the world. They are all quite obedient. I recommend you take me up on this offer. If you do your very best as a knight, becoming the first B-rank may well be within your grasp.
Perhaps even...A-rank... I can't be sure, but I feel like you may have the potential...
I can never tell how much of what she says is a lie, and how much is the truth...
But after talking with her so much, I feel like maybe weunderstand each othera little better...
Hmhm. So, as a knight, please be prepared to give your life for me.
Er, I haven't actually decided yet...
...
Tch!
Definitely can't let my guard down around her...
I guess I can call her myfriend, but this is one friend I need to be careful with... And I don't see that changing anytime soon.
I left Celeste's room exhausted and dragged myself back to my room.
