I think he said it was a Felineko,
right...?

Red:
Someone got here before us? Whoa,
I better get to the loot first!

And no sign of anybody! I think
you made it here first!

Red:
Don't speak too soon. Still need
to find the confidential file...

Red:
So, uh, let's get to it...

Red:

Chocolat:
Whatcha find?

Red:
Nuthin', just a note full of 
numbers.

Chocolat:
That's got to be it! It should be
a memo of cash transactions.

Red:
Well then, mission accomplished.
It's in my hands now.

Red:
So? Where's all that bonus
loot you mentioned earlier?

Chocolat:
I guess they hid it all,
you know?

Red:

Chocolat:
Red, you see that wall? It reminds
me of the door in the other room.

Red:

Chocolat:
You think it can be opened too?

Red:
Maybe, but that would mean
somewhere around here should be...

Chocolat:
There! It's the same switch as
before!

Red:
But there aren't any containers
in here...

Chocolat:
Isn't there something else that's
heavy that can be used?

Chocolat:

Red:
That did it!

Chocolat:
What's that in there?

Red:
I'll check it out.

Red:
I'm thinking losers weepers.
I'm taking it!

Item:

Red:
A medallion...? And even
fancier than its casing...

Item:

Red:

Chocolat:
What's that light?!

Red:
What's goin' on?!

Red:
Uwah!

Red:
Phew!

Red:
What's that...?!

Red:
Talk to me! WHAT is going on?!

Chocolat:
I don't know!
Just get out of there!

Red:
Roger that!

Red:

Red:
What the heck is this?!

Red:

Chocolat:
I don't know! I've never seen
anything like it before!

Red:
Well take a good look! Because it
isn't gonna be here much longer!

Red:

Chocolat:
Get out of there quick! The ship's
losing altitude really fast!

Red:
I'm on it!

Red:
Haaah... Haaah... 

Chocolat:
Red! Hurry!

Red:
I'm movi...

Red:
!
(What the...? An unconscious... kid?)

Chocolat:
What're you doing?!
Get out of there!

Red:
(Save the kid... or leave the kid
 to die? The kid might be dead 
 already...)

Chocolat:
And thus, by chance the two met
―or so it seemed.

Chocolat:
Time had yet to reveal that
their encounter had been fated.

Chocolat:
Phew... that was a lot more than
we bargained for, huh?

Chocolat:

Red:
Seriously! I didn't think I'd
make it out alive!

Chocolat:
I wonder what that huge monster
was that hit the cargo ship?

Red:
The huge monster, those small black
things... I have no idea...

Chocolat:
You know, about that kid you 
saved... 

Chocolat:
Could he be the one who snuck 
onto the Hindenburg before us?

Red:
Probably...

Chocolat:
Well, I'm just glad neither of 
you were badly hurt.

Red:
Heh heh, yeah.

Chocolat:
The Asmodeus took a beating,
though. Let's do a quick check-up!

Red:

Chocolat:
We'll start here. The bridge.

Chocolat:
Select Save here to record the
progress of our adventure!

Chocolat:
You can also use Next Destination
to pick where to visit next!

Chocolat:
We'll go to the Cabin next. That
kid is sleeping, so be quiet, okay?

Red:

Chocolat:
This is the Cabin.

Chocolat:
The Audio and Theater here let you
enjoy music or movies.

Chocolat:
There's also stuff to read and
look at in the Album and Library.

Red:
You mean there WILL be stuff.
We haven't gotten anything yet.

Chocolat:
...And, that's about it. Looks
like our ship is in good shape.

Chocolat:
Oh, we better get going soon. We 
need to report to our client,
Québec.

Chocolat:
Pick Next Destination from the
Bridge and we're off to Airedale!

Red:

Chocolat:
Let's go and see Québec right
away, Red, okay? No goofing off!

Red:
Main Street, right?

Chocolat:
Yes, um... Just keep going 
straight to the north of the port.

Red:

Chocolat:
This goes to the East Sector.
Main Street is down the middle,
the other path.

Red:
Hey, Québec... we're back.

Québec:
Red, Red, good to see ya.
So mission accomplished?

Red:
... and then it got real crazy!
Like, we barely survived, you
know!!

Québec:
Really, now?

Québec:
That does all sound pretty
fur-raising.

Red:
Right...? So there's no need to 
be stingy just 'cause the
file burned up and all that.

Québec:
It's a tough job, but no file no
pay. Capiche? Get outta' here!

Red:
Guhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Chocolat:
Sigh... I knew it...
You didn't get paid, did you?

Red:

Chocolat:
...But, you know, we don't 
even have any fuel left.

Red:
...I got an idea! We can try 
selling this medallion!

Item:

Chocolat:
Québec said it was just a toy,
right? Not worth anything?

Red:
...Doh!

Chocolat:
We need to find some work, any
work, and start saving up!

Red:

Red:
Y-Yeah...

Chocolat:
So get on with it! Go see the 
Quest Broker, you know, Flo,
and ask for some work!

Chocolat:
She's right over there, by the
sign! Go on, get on with it!

How may I help you today?

Red:
I need a big adventure with an
even bigger pay off! 

Flo:
Ah, I see. Well... we have some
work, um, but it's nothing big.

Chocolat:
We'll take it!

Flo:

Red:
.........

Flo:
Good day to you, my friend. 
How may I help you today?

Red:
Got any good gigs for me?

Flo:
Well... we have a few new jobs
posted. Have a look!

Poster:
Out to lunch.
A long lunch.

Red:

Chocolat:
Ummm... Looks like we still don't 
have enough Rings...

Red:
Then I'll just have to find more
work!

Chocolat:
One... two... three...

Red:

Chocolat:
Okay, good. It's enough to fill the 
gas tank, at least!

Red:
I sweat blood working for that
money, you know!

Chocolat:
Okay, okay. Here's your allowance.
Be a good boy!

Red:
...
That's all?

Chocolat:
That's more than enough! Now
let's get back to the Asmodeus.

Chocolat:
I wonder if that child you 
rescued is awake...

Red:
...

Red:

Chocolat:
Anything new with our guest?

Red:
Lemme go and see.

Radio:
The unidentified giant that
appeared over central Shepherd --

Elh:
.........

Radio:
may be some sort of weapon of
mass destruction. According to --

Elh:

Red:
Hey, you're awake. How do ya
feel?

Elh:
...Where am I?

Red:
My almighty ship, the Asmodeus!
We're at port in Airedale.

Elh:
The Hindenburg... Please, tell me
what happened to that cargo ship!

Red:
Oh boy, you should've seen it.
Went down in flames!

Elh:
B-But... what about the
medallion?!

Red:
Medallion...?
Oh, you mean...

Item:

Elh:

Red:
This ol' thing?!

Elh:
Ah...!

Elh:
Give it back to me, I beg you!

Red:
Whoa?
A little excited, are we?

Elh:
...No, no, just...

Elh:
May I just take a look at it?
Please?

Red:
I guess...

Item:

Item:

Item:

Elh:
My goodness!!

Elh:
It's been activated?!

Red:
Wha-wha-what?!
What are you talkin' about?!

Elh:
No... it can't be...
You?

Red:
Well, it did kinda flash when I
first touched it...

Elh:
But that's impossible... without
performing the Rite...!

Red:
What ARE you saying?! Speak more
clearly, so I can understand!

Chocolat:
Fighting already?! Can you just
TRY to be nice to our guest?!

Chocolat:
I'm sorry. My brother's SOOOO
immature.

Elh:
...

Red:
Pshhh...

Red:
I'm gonna go find some more work.

Chocolat:
And I'll get things ready for
departure.

Elh:
...

Merchant:
Nice doin' business with ya.

Red:
Great! Catch ya later.

Chocolat:
Welcome back! Oh! And this time
you haven't returned empty-handed!

Chocolat:
Oh my...! Look!

Red:
What's up, Chocolat?
What...

Red:
What the--?!

Elh:
...So they've come.

Red:
Furballs... 
Not these guys again!

Chocolat:
Red! Are you okay?

Red:
I'm fine! But the town
definitely isn't!

Chocolat:
How terrible...

Red:
I'm gonna make these guys pay!
Chocolat, help me out!

Elh:
No, please. Wait...
Let's escape for now.

Red:
N O  W A Y! You're telling me to
just abandon this town?!

Elh:
That's not what I mean!

Red:
I gotta get goin'!

Elh:
No, wait!

Red:
Looks like you get it first,
buddy!

Red:
Don't be shy! I'll keep you
company!

Chocolat:
They're the same as those things
we saw on the Hindenburg. Is it
some kinda new type of monster?

Red:

Elh:
Not quite, I'm afraid.

Elh:
They are called Shades. Weapons
created by Lares.

Chocolat:
Lares?

Elh:
The giant monster you saw while
on the Hindenburg. That is --

Red:
Tell me about it later! Right now
I'm trying to get rid of these
guys!

Elh:
...In that case, you need to find
the Shade Leader.

Elh:
Defeat the leader giving orders to
the other Shades, or...

Red:
So basically just take out their
boss! Got it! Let's go!

Red:
Take that!
Am I awesome or what?

Elh:

Elh:
Please refrain from bragging and
move on! It's not over yet!

Red:
I don't think I like your tone,
brat...

Elh:
...My name is Elh, not "brat."

Red:
Fine, Elh!
Just stop giving me orders!

Red:
Why should I listen to anything
you have to say?

Elh:
This is neither the time nor the
place for such a discussion.

Red:
Grrrrrrh!
I hate it because Elh's right!

Red:

Chocolat:
Stay glued to the Dahak, Red.
Getting off now wouldn't be smart.

Red:

Chocolat:
Look out! I'm getting a really
powerful reading from --

Red:
Right in front of me, yeah.

Chocolat:
!!

Red:
So this is the boss?

Chocolat:

Elh:
I think so...
And I think it's looking at you!

Red:
Heh heh... a walk in the park!

Chocolat:
Red! The others are starting to
run away!

Red:
That means it was the boss, then.
Nice!

Red:
Did you see that, Elh? See how
strong I am?

Elh:
Gloating because the immediate
enemy is gone... You ARE a child.

Red:
What did you just say?!

Chocolat:

Elh:
Take a good look around.

Elh:
All this preventable damage... If
only you had left when I said to!

Red:
Huh? It's not my fault the town
got attacked, okay, chump?

Elh:
Actually, it IS your fault.

Red:
What?!

Elh:
THIS is all your fault.

Red:
Hey! What'd I do?

Elh:
Those Shades came here because
they were after you.

Red:
Uh, WHAT?! What's that supposed 
to mean?

Elh:
...

Elh:
The medallion that you activated.
That's what they want.

Red:
So that's why they attacked the
Hindenburg, too? To get this...?

Item:

Item:

Item:

Elh:
...

Elh:
(The medallion chose him...
 There's no turning back now...)

Red:
...?

Elh:
Excuse me but your name is...

Red:
Red.
Red Savarin.

Elh:
Well then, Red Savarin.

Elh:
I have a request to make of you.
A request to you, to a Hunter.

Elh:
Will you take care of that
medallion?

Red:
What?

Elh:
...Let me say this another way.

Red:
Go ahead.

Elh:
I want to make a contract with
you.

Red:
Huh?!

Elh:
I'll pay you a great fortune.

Elh:
Will you honor my request?
You have EVERYTHING to gain.

Chocolat:
A contract for a billion Rings.
One whole billion! Mwahaha!

Red:
Will you stop laughing like that!
It's freaking me out!

Red:
(One billion sure is a lot...
 but still...)

Elh:
A great fortune...
Worth more than one billion Rings.

Red:

Chocolat:
R-R-Red! Did he say one billion?
As in... one whole billion?!

Red:
Y-yeah... That's a lot of zeros.

Chocolat:
And, what are the details of the
contract?

Red:

Elh:
All you have to do is help me
seal Lares away.

Elh:
I need the medallion to do this,
and you, because you activated it.

Red:
...What if I say no?

Elh:
Then eventually Lares will destroy
the world as we know it.

Red:
...

Elh:
Please meet me at the Café in
Spinon tomorrow.

Elh:
I have some business to tend to
in the area.

Red:
(Something really big's happening
 here, but something bugs me...)

Chocolat:
Hey, are you listening?! We're 
going to Spinon, right?

Red:
Huh...?
Yeah, I guess we are...

Chocolat:
It'll be fine. Just fine.
You worry too much.

Chocolat:
If we get into a jam, I know
you can get us out of it.

Chocolat:
That's how it's always been.
Right?

Red:
............
Yeah, of course.

Red:
Okay, then!
To Spinon!

Chocolat:
Isn't that the Kurvaz Flagship,
the Golden Roar?!

Red:
What's the Kurvaz Admiral and
warship doing here?!

Chocolat:
Please don't tell me they're
looking for us...?

Red:
What? To get even about what
happened on the Hindenburg?

Red:
We're not THAT important. Anyway,
let's keep a close eye on them.

Chocolat:
Wow!

Red:
What?

Chocolat:
That's Bruno!

Red:
Bruno...?

Chocolat:
The president who created the 
Kurvaz! The Guild Master!

Red:
Huh... That old guy is Bruno?

Red:
Which means all this fuss is 
about his visit.

Red:
Nothing to do us with us, then.
Let's head into the city!

Kurvaz Soldier:
We're on watch.

Kurvaz Soldier:
Don't go causing any trouble!
Not in front of Master Bruno!

Kurvaz Soldier:
Huh? Hey you! Have I seen you 
somewhere before?

Kurvaz Soldier:
Ah, never mind... I'm on duty and
I can't be messing around today.

Kurvaz Soldier:
No unauthorized access!
Scram!

Chocolat:
You know, it's still too early for
our meeting with Elh.

Red:
Well, there's a Quest Broker here.
May as well kill some time.

How may I help you today?

Mayor:
And what, may I ask, brings the
Kurvaz to my humble town?

Merveille:
Very well, I'll get right to the
point.

Merveille:
We'd like you to lend us your
Crystal Stone Key.

Merveille:

Mayor:
I see... Unfortunately, I've
never heard of such an item.

Merveille:
...Hmm-hmm.

Merveille:
Indeed, you have the ability to
lie with a straight face.

Bruno:
...That's enough, Merveille. We've
only come to say hello today.

Merveille:

Mayor:

Bruno:
Perhaps you'll suddenly remember
what it is before we come back.

Bruno:
If not, you'll put us all in a
VERY... DIFFICULT... SITUATION.

Bruno:
Fuwah hah hah hah...!

Merveille:
Your pardon, then.

Mayor:
Grrr...

Amélie:
(Those bad guys are after 
 Grandpa's key!)

Amélie:
(I gotta do something...!)

Mayor:
Amélie... do you need anything,
dear? I'm quite busy right now.

Amélie:
N-No, I'm fine, Grandpa.

Mayor:
Now why would the Kurvaz want
the Crystal Stone Key...?

Mayor:
And what will happen to the town
if I don't hand it over...?

Mayor:
...Huh? That's odd... 

Mayor:
The Key... It's gone?!

Mayor:
Who could have taken it...?

Mayor:
...!
No... Amélie?!

Mayor:
...! Who are you?

Amélie:
They're... hunters, Grandpa.

Mayor:
Amélie!

Elh:

Amélie:
Here you are, Grandpa...

Mayor:
...I suspected that you were the
one who took it.

Amélie:
I'm really very sorry...

Elh:
Amélie only wanted to protect
the key from the Kurvaz.

Amélie:
...But then a Scatter Mouse
grabbed it!

Amélie:
And these nice people got it back
for me!

Mayor:
I see...

Elh:
The Kurvaz want to use that key
for something terrible.

Mayor:
...

Elh:
Please, you cannot let them have
it.

Mayor:
But who knows what they'll do to
Spinon if I don't give it to them?

Elh:
I have an idea.
Simply tell them that WE stole it.

Amélie:

Red:
What?!

Amélie:
Grandpa, these are nice people!
Nicer than those Kurvaz people!

Red:

Mayor:
...If Amélie trusts you, then I
shall trust you too.

Mayor:
Please, take the key.

Mayor:
But wouldn't doing so mean that 
they'll start coming after you?

Elh:
Please do not worry about that.
We'll be fine, won't we, Red?

Red:
Y-Yeah...

Red:
Just what's this key for, then?

Elh:

Amélie:
My grandpa said it opens a Shrine
in the waterways beneath the city!

Elh:
A Shrine... That might be worth
checking out.

Red:
Where's the entrance to these
waterways, then?

Amélie:
It's underwater. You can't go in
there unless you open the water 
gate!

Elh:
So where do we have to go to open 
the water gate?

Frito:
Just take a gondola from north of
the café.

Elh:
Here's the gondola.

Red:
I gotta get off the Dahak in 
order to get on the gondola.

Red:

Frito:
That's the water gate Guard
there, Mr. Red.

Red:
Hey. You've got a friendly face,
my friend.

Guard:
Oh? And what might you be wanting?

Red:
Just wondering if you could open
up that water gate for us?

Guard:
...Why might I do that?

Elh:
Sniff. I dropped my dead mother's
pendant into the waterway! Sniff.

Elh:

Red:
(Now that's some bad acting...)

Elh:
Please, I'm begging you, sir.
Open the water gate for me!
Pretty, pretty please? Sniff.

Guard:
I can't very well say no to that,
now can I? Just wait right there!

Guard:
There we go. The water shouldn't
be much of a problem now.

Elh:

Elh:
Sniff... Thank you SO much,
mister! You are SO kind... Sniff.

Red:
.........

Elh:
Let's get going, Red.

Red:
(And back to normal, just like
 that!)

Elh:
The entrance is to the right of 
the street with the Quest Broker.

Elh:
Let's head there right away.

Red:
......Yeah. 
(Scary... but kinda impressive...)

Guard:
Did you find your pendant?

Amélie:
The entrance to the underground
waterways is that way!

Red:

Amélie:

Red:
Great! Thanks!

Amélie:
Here's the entrance to the
underground waterways!

Red:

Elh:
This is where we say goodbye then,
Amélie.

Amélie:
You'd better come and play with
me again!

Frito:
Good luck, Mr. Red.

Red:
See ya, kids!

Red:
Let's rumble!

Red:
The room is full of water...
I'll have to leave the Dahak here.

Chocolat:
Watch out for the fishies in the
water!

Red:
It's quiet... but there's
something here, I can feel it.

Red:

System:
Repeatedly press the A Button 
while swimming to swim faster.

Red:
There's a valve over there...
Hopefully it'll drain the water!

Red:
That drained the water. I'd
better get back to my robot!

Red:
The water's lower in here, too.
And some new paths opened up!

Red:
Look, the water was covering
those entrances.

Elh:
Let's try going through them to
get to the Shrine.

Red:
Looks like this will take us
where we want to go.

Red:
Ah ha! Kurvaz!

Kurvaz Soldier:
S-State your name and business!

Red:
Uh... this is a stick up! Let us
through and no one will get hurt!

Red:

Kurvaz Soldier:
Nurse...! I'm coming back again!

Red:
Sorry about that, pal. Just sit
the rest of this one out, okay?

Chocolat:
Red! Looks like that's our target!

Red:
Indeed it does. The Kurvaz have 
laid out a welcoming party!

Calua:
Hey. Who're you guys? What're
you doing down here?

Red:
I was gonna ask you the same 
thing... You Kurvaz Hunter you!

Calua:
I'd prefer it if you called
me Calua, dude.

Calua:
Don't tell me you're down here
lookin' for the Crystal Stone too?

Elh:
Crystal Stone...? So that's what
Kurvaz wants, is it?

Calua:
Dude? Did I just say something I
shouldn't have?

Red:
Is this idiot for real...?

Calua:
But anyway, we don't have the Key,
so we aren't gettin' anywhere.

Red:
You mean... THIS Key?

Item:

Calua:
Yeah! That one! Dude!

Elh:
Red, you're the idiot now... You
didn't have to show him that!

Red:
...Ah, yeah.

Calua:
I'd be really happy if ya
left the key there for me, dude.

Red:
Dream on! Get out of my way! I'm
coming through!

Red:
How's that taste, huh?

Calua:
Yikes! Maybe I underestimated ya,
dude!

Elh:
You're going to tell us all about
Kurvaz's plans...!

Calua:
Wh-oa, dude! I gotta bounce!
Like now, dude!

Red:
Hey! Get back here!

Red:
That guy sure can move!

Elh:
We may as well let him run.

Elh:
Let's use the Key to get the
Crystal Stone, shall we?

Red:
...Just put it in here?

Item:

Red:
...huh?!

Red:
One Crystal Stone, coming right
up!

Item:

Elh:
Ah...!

Red:

Elh:
I expected as much --

Item:

Elh:
The source of my powers, Nono, is
reacting to the Stone.

Red:

Elh:
Meaning this definitely has
something to do with Lares.

Red:
Okay! Now let's split before the
Kurvaz come back!

Red:
Chocolat! Can we get outta here?!

Chocolat:
Everything's ready! Are you okay,
Elh?

Elh:
I'm fine. But please, let's leave
before the other Kurvaz spot us.

Red:
And we're off!

Chocolat:
Aye-aye, sir!

Bruno:
...The Crystal Stone was taken?

Bruno:
And just WHY would you return 
without it?!

Calua:
Well... Uh...

Calua:
They were funny, dude, so
maybe I toyed with them too much.

Gren:

Gren:
This isn't the time for jokes,
Calua... Get serious and tell us
straight. Who was it that took it?

Calua:
It was a smallish, red robot.
The Hunter dude's name was...

Calua:
Red. Yeah, I think his little
Felineko buddy said "Red".

Merveille:
I know who he is talking about.

Bruno:
Is that so? Then I'll leave the
rest to you.

Bruno:
I'll be resting in my chambers.

Merveille:
Very well, Guild Master.
Gren, can you track them down?

Gren:

Gren:
We Special Ops shall recover the
missing item, fear not.

Gren:

Calua:

Merveille:
Good. Give my regards to the 
Director, Lady Opéra, for me.

Gren:
Understood.
We shall depart at once.

Calua:
Later, dudes!

Merveille:
Well, well... Red and Dahak...

Merveille:
Accompanied by a Paladin, of all
beings...

Merveille:
Coincidence...? Unlikely.
Heh heh... 

Béluga:
...Elh...

Elh:

Red:
So, now that we got this Crystal
Stone, what do we do next?

Red:
Can't we just seal this Lares
thing away and be done with it?

Elh:
The sealing ceremony is
called the Rite of Forfeit... 

Elh:
But I cannot do it right now.

Elh:
The door to the sacred lands
where it can be performed is
well hidden--

Elh:
Its location changes each time
after each use and appears only
when the time is right.

Red:
Well then, I'll just go run
some Quests until this "door" 
shows up!

Elh:

Chocolat:
I'd like to get Asmodeus tuned
up in the meantime as well...

Red:
Which means a visit to Diamundo
in Davren Islands.

Opéra:
Calua, sweetie! You understand the
situation you've put us in, right?

Opéra:
Your little screw up has made
a boat load more work for us!

Calua:
Du-de! Yeah, sorry! So sorry,
Lady Opéra! ♪

Opéra:
You certainly don't sound like
you're sorry... 

Gren:
Lady Opéra, the target appears to
be heading to the Davren Islands.

Opéra:
Splendid work! ♪
Now hurry back here, sweetie.

Gren:
As you wish. I shall return to
the Royal Envy immediately.

Béluga:
Flying a ship this big through the
Davren Islands would be suicide.

Opéra:
Don't worry about a thing, dear.
I'll send out the Reclaimers! ♪

Béluga:
...Very well.

Opéra:
That boy... As always, I just
can't figure him out... 

Elh:
.........

Elh:
It's okay...
I can do it again. I know--

Elh:
The Rite of Forfeit... It wasn't
that hard the first time...

Chocolat:
Red! It's Québec!

Red:
Huh? What's he want?
We aren't even on a job for him...

Québec:
I heard that you ran into the
Kurvaz again at Spinon!

Red:
And I kicked their butts again
at Spinon. What else is new?

Québec:
You've gone too far this time
around, Red. It's not a game. 

Québec:
Word is that they've sent their
Special Ops out after you.

Red:
Special Operations? What's so
special about them?

Québec:
They're the muscle that does all
the "shady" things for the Kurvaz.

Québec:
I would know. I used to be one of 
them.

Red:
Really?

Québec:
Yeah. So when I tell you to
run --

Red:

Chocolat:
Aaaaauugghh!!

Red:
What now?!

Elh:
Ah!

Elh:
...!

Elh:

Elh:
It's...?!

Opéra:
There you are, handsome!
Hand over the Crystal Stone!!

Chocolat:
The controls are out!

Calua:
Dude, they totally crashed... 

Gren:
Indeed, they did.

Opéra:
Oh, they crashed. How lovely.
Release the Reclaimer machines! ♪

Red:
Uh... argh... ow ow ow ow...!

Red:
Okay, guys, raise a paw if you're
too hurt to raise a paw.

Chocolat:
......Uh, no paws in the air?

Elh:
No paws in the air... 

Red:
I'm gonna check outside...
Oh, ow ow...

Red:

Opéra:
Testing, testing! ♪ Is this 
thing ON? Are you sure he
can hear me?

Opéra:
Hand over the Crystal Stone! ♪
Or else things will get ugly!

Red:
Just try and lay a finger on me!

Red:
There's too many of them!
And they keep coming!

Chocolat:
There seem to be Control Ships
commanding all of those
flying mechas!

Red:
Where are they, and how do
we get to them?

Chocolat:
We need to talk about that...
Come back inside the Asmodeus!

Red:
So the Asmodeus broke down and 
we're stranded here?

Chocolat:

Elh:

Chocolat:
I called Diamundo to ask him
to come and do the repairs...

Chocolat:
But he's busy with something and
can't get here right away.

Red:
Oh man... 

Chocolat:
We have to destroy those Control
Ships or the flying mechas will
destroy us before he gets here.

Red:
Yeah, but how am I going to 
reach the Control Ships?

Chocolat:
I've put the Dahak into Flying 
Mode. You can fly to them!

Red:

Chocolat:
Controls in flying mode are
kind of different! Be careful!

Red:

Chocolat:
There's a total of 3 Control
Ships! Follow the arrows!

Red:
Destroying these small ones really
won't get me anywhere.

Red:
I need to find the Control Ships
and take them down ASAP!

Kurvaz Soldier:
Eject! Eject!

Red:

Red:
That's one Control Ship!

Chocolat:
Two more to go!

Kurvaz Soldier:
Nooooooo!
I'll get you some day!!

Red:

Red:
Just one more, Red!

Kurvaz Soldier:
Lady Opéra, forgive us! The
Reclaimers have been eliminated!

Red:

Red:
That was the last Control Ship,
right?

Chocolat:
All the robots around the Asmodeus
have fallen to the ground!

Red:
Perfect! I'm heading back now!

Calua:
Lady Opéra! That dude just
launched to go attack without
permission!

Opéra:

Opéra:
Why not let him?
He isn't really one of us, 
sweetheart.

Opéra:
He must've gone to get the Crystal
Stone and do what the Reclaimers
couldn't do.

Gren:
However, if I may, 
Lady Opéra...

Opéra:
Now, now...
Let's just sit back and enjoy the
show, 'k, boys? Teeheehee...

Red:
I'm back!

Chocolat:
Good work, Red, come on ---

Chocolat:
...Wow! Something super fast
is zooming straight for us!

Red:
Heh?

Béluga:
3 seconds...

Béluga:
Pray, to the wind...!

Red:
Guwah!

Red:
What -- what is this guy?!

Béluga:
Don't move.

Béluga:

Red:

Elh:
Be...

Elh:

Elh:
Béluga!

Béluga:
Elh...
I thought it was you.

Elh:
You're alive! Bél --

Béluga:
Give me the Crystal Stone!

Elh:
...What? 
What are you saying?

Red:
Hey! You're here to fight me,
right? So FIGHT ME!

Béluga:
I won't say it again. Bring me
the Crystal Stone. Bring it!

Béluga:
Or I'll blow this ship in two!

Elh:

Chocolat:
What...?!

Red:
Coward!

Béluga:
Don't try anything funny. You're
no match for me.

Red:
Yeah... I can see that. Well,
this sucks!

Chocolat:
...Red.

Béluga:
Elh... hand it over.

Elh:

Red:
What else can we do? Give it to
him, Elh.

Béluga:

Elh:
.........

Red:

Elh:

Béluga:
I know you're listening in, Opéra.
I've secured the Crystal Stone.

Opéra:
Good work, dear! You're just
as impressive as I imagined!

Red:
Kurvaz?!

Elh:
Why are you with THEM?! No...! Not
the medallion, too!

Béluga:
Keep your voice down!

Béluga:
(I'll be coming for that... next
 time...)

Elh:
!!

Opéra:
Hmmmm? Did you say something?

Béluga:
No, nothing. I'm coming back now.

Elh:
Béluga!

Red:
...Elh?

Elh:
.........

Red:
How's Elh doing?

Chocolat:
Um, he stepped outside to 
think by himself for a while.

Red:
We don't really know much about
him, do we?

Chocolat:
It would be kind of rude to ask
lots of questions, though, right?

Red:
Yeah, but...

Chocolat:
Ah! Diamundo!

Diamundo:
Sorry to keep you waiting, kids!

Red:
About time you made it here, old
timer!

Chocolat:
Can you fix the Asmodeus?
Quick, hurry! She's in pain!

Diamundo:
Hold on, hold on! I must say
I am going to need to run
some checks first.

Diamundo:
I've also got something I'd like
you to do for me.

Red:
Oh, really...?

Red:

Diamundo:
I'd like you young bloods to help
me test a race machine.

Red:
A race?!

Red:
You don't mean the "Air Robo
Grand Prix," do you?!

Diamundo:
Yep. I'll do the repairs while
you're off doing that.

Red:
You gotta be kidding? I don't
know anything about racing.

Diamundo:
Yes, and so, I've arranged to have
one of my apprentices wait for
you!

Diamundo:
You do this for me and I must
say, I'll fix your ship for free.
Now, how about it?

Chocolat:
Really?! Wonderful!

Chocolat:
The Asmodeus can't fly, anyway, 
Red. So get going!

Red:
Yeah... Nothing for me to do
here. May as well...
See ya later, then!

Red:
This looks like the race track.

???:
Heeeeeeeey?!

Suzette:
What're YOU doing here?
Don't tell me, my old master
sent you in his place?!

Red:
You? You're Diamundo's apprentice?

Suzette:
Well, former apprentice, to be
accurate.

Suzette:
You wanna fly? Give me a little
tweaking time first, then!

Yeah, let's do it!
Hold on a moment.

Red:
Yeah, let's do it!

Suzette:
Leave it to me! I'll have those
parts on there in a flash!

Red:
Can you hold on a moment?

Suzette:
Just let me know when you're
ready.

Suzette:
Are you ready now?

Red:

Chocolat:
The Asmodeus is still under 
repair! Don't come back here yet!

Suzette:
The machine's good to go. Let's
head out to the course!

Red:
Ready when you are!

Suzette:
You need an explanation on how to
fly the course?

Hear advice
I don't need any advice

Red:
This is my first time!
I'm listenin'.

Suzette:
No worries! You'll be ready and 
set once I'm finished!

Red:
Okay!

Red:
Thanks, but no thanks. I trust
my instincts!

Suzette:
All right! Go on, then!

Red:
Okay!

Red:
That's the finish line!

Suzette:
Great flying! Come back over to
the reception!

Red:
Okay!

Red:
How was that run?

Suzette:
Pretty sweet. Both you and the
machine show serious promise!

Suzette:
A bit more spit and polish, and
you'll really be flyin'!

Red:
Really?

Suzette:
All that data's in this report.
Hand it to the old man, cool?!

Red:
Gotcha. Thanks!

Suzette:
Later, bud! ♪

Suzette:
...

Suzette:
I see, I see...

Chocolat:
Ah! Welcome back!

Red:
I'm pooped!
Oh yeah! Here's the report!

Diamundo:
I must say, these are
fantastic results. Thanks for
testing it out, young one.

Red:
No need for thanks. I enjoyed it!

Diamundo:
If you like it that much, then 
the machine is yours, kiddo.

Red:
Really?!
Thanks, gramps!

Diamundo:
The machine's name is the
Rapid Edge. Great name,
I must say.

Diamundo:
If you've got a taste for racing,
just head to Davren Islands.

Diamundo:
They've got racing going on over
there around the clock.

Red:
Great! Thanks for letting me
know about all this, gramps.

Red:

Diamundo:
I must say, I am still going
to need a little more time
to fix up the Asmodeus, though.

Red:
You do...? Well, okay.
I'm countin' on ya!

Red:
So what's Elh doing?

Chocolat:
Ummm... he still seems
worried about something.

Red:
Yeah, 'bout what? I've no idea
what that guy's thinkin'.

Chocolat:

Elh:
...Oh, Red. It's you.

Red:
Somethin' you wanna say?

Elh:
No, nothing.
I just want to be alone.

Red:
Hold it, Elh.

Red:
You sure there isn't anythin'
you wanna tell us?

Elh:
No. This is a personal problem.

Red:
Not any more it isn't. But I'm not
gonna push you too hard for
answers.

Elh:
... Thanks.

Elh:
If you can give me some time,
I will explain a few things.

Red:

Elh:
...I am one of the last remaining
in the Paladin Clan.

Elh:
If Lares awakes, it is our duty to
put him back to rest.

Chocolat:
Paladin...? I thought those were
only in fairytales...

Elh:
...Long ago, most of my brethren
were destroyed by a certain
"something".

Elh:
My homeland and my people...
everything went down in flames.

Chocolat:
... That's horrible...

Elh:
Not being there at the time, I
assumed I was the only survivor.

Elh:
...And that's what I've always
thought, until I met HIM again.

Chocolat:
You mean that guy in the black
robot?

Elh:
Yes. His name is Béluga. We are
from the same clan.

Elh:
Also, that medallion was
originally his.

Red:
This ol' thing...

Elh:
If Béluga's desires are to give 
the medallion to the Kurvaz... 

Elh:
Then I fear he may have cast aside
his duty to seal Lares away.

Chocolat:
But how could he...?!

Elh:
I am on this journey to fulfill
the moral duty of our clan.

Elh:
I'm the only one left who can do
so.

Red:
You know, I've been thinking!

Elh:
......About?

Red:
You don't have a home any more,
right?

Red:
...During our contract, then,
I want you to consider this
ship your home.

Elh:
Wha...?

Chocolat:

Red:
Well?

Elh:
I think...

Elh:

Elh:
...I would appreciate that.
Thank you.

Red:
...Heh.

...Teeheehee.

Merveille:
I shall take the Stone for 
analysis and get on it right away.

Bruno:
Very good. Any information on the
whereabouts of the next Stone?

Merveille:
We are still investigating but
I have a good idea where it is.

Merveille:
The first Crystal Stone...
Now we just need the other two.

Béluga:
I retrieved the Stone, but could
not ask for the medallion.

Béluga:
Opéra was listening in, you know?

Merveille:
That was smart of you.
We must not allow Bruno to find 
out about the medallion...

Merveille:
So long as your little friend has
it, you shall get another chance.

Béluga:
Elh...

Béluga:
I won't let Elh perform the
Rite of Forfeit, ever again!

Red:
We're here!
So this is Vizsla.

Chocolat:

Diamundo:
Ah, you made it!

Diamundo:
Hmmm. The Asmodeus is a very old
model. I must say I am going to
need a certain material.

Diamundo:
I'm going to need...
The cast-off shell of an insect
called the Scarabee!

Red:
A bug shell? Can that even be
used for somethin' like this?

Diamundo:
Few know, but I must say that
it's a strong and light material
absolutely perfect for ships.

Diamundo:
You should be able to find some
here, somewhere. Bring them to
me, will you?

Chocolat:

Red:
Here... somewhere? Can you be
more specific than that?
No?

Red:
Well, may as well get moving and 
gather up some information.

Chocolat:

Chocolat:
How about a visit to the Quest
Broker while you're at it?

Red:
Good idea! Helping someone out
might lead to something.

Chocolat:
If there aren't any quests here
in Vizsla that we can take at
our current Hunter Rank…

Chocolat:
Remember we can always go and
look for some work on another
island too, okay?

Red:
Now that we know where the shells
are, we just need to go get them.

Red:
Right!
Let's go, Elh!

Elh:
......Um sure, let's go.

Diamundo:
Have you found any Scarabee
shells yet?

Red:
Nope, still searching!

Red:

Diamundo:
YOU again! Did you already break
everything I fixed?!

Red:
Hey, we're not THAT reckless!

Red:

Village Chief:
Scarabees?

Village Chief:
They live in the honey farm, eh,
but it's dangerous in there.

Village Chief:
They get bigger each time they
molt, you see!

Red:

Village Chief:
I've heard that the older a
Scarabee shell, the better.

Village Chief:
Though it's been a long time since
anyone used them at all, eh.

Red:
You're a Bug Trainer, right?
We need a Scarabee.

Dahmon:
Sorry, I don't have time right
now... I'm in trouble here, eh.

Dahmon:
I'm just hopin' someone will
take on the work I submitted 
to the Quest Broker... 

Red:
New work at the Quest Broker?

Red:
Sounds like a job for a hunter.
A hunter like me.

Red:
Might as well go and take a look!

Security Guard:
There's violent Scarabees
living in there, eh.

Security Guard:
We don't normally let people in
because it's so dangerous.

Red:

Elh:
Ah! That bug is carrying
something!

Red:
It even looks sweet! It's gotta 
be a honeybead all right!

Red:
I'll be taking that!

Red:
Now we just need to take this to
the Ladyshroom.

Elh:

Red:

Elh:
Red, aren't you forgetting
something?

Red:
Ah! We need to feed it a honeybead
first, don't we?

Elh:
There should be some nearby. Let's
go and find one.

Red:
So we need to feed this bug
one of those honeybeads.

Elh:
I believe so.

Red:
Looks like it wants us to ride
on its back! Hop on now!

Elh:
Um... Are we really going to ride
this thing?

Red:
Of course! That's what we're 
here for! Come on!

Elh:
(Uuh... Ew... Yuck...!)

Red:
Chocolat! We're finally here! 
How many shells do we need?

Chocolat:
Diamundo said he needs seven.

Red:

Chocolat:
Just one more! Keep up the good
work.♪

Red:
That's all seven!

Elh:
P-Phew... finally.

Red:
You look kinda pale. Are you
okay?

Elh:
I just phased out for a moment...

Red:
...Uh-huh. Let's just hurry and 
get these back to Diamundo.

Red:
Phew! We're finally out of that
place!

Elh:
Appears so...

Red:
I bet Diamundo is gonna complain
about us keepin' him waitin'.

Red:

Chocolat:
Looks like you can get down 
there by using that vine!

Red:
I've got armfuls of shells! This
should be more than enough!

Diamundo:
I must say that these here
look magnificent! Now I can
give the Asmodeus a full repair!

Elh:
I'm so VERY happy to hear 
you say that.

Diamundo:
I'll get right back to work! Just
a little longer!

Diamundo:
...All done! I must say,
the Asmodeus is now reborn!

Red:

Red:
Fantastic! Thanks, old timer!

Chocolat:
Now we should be able to escape
even if we get attacked again!

Diamundo:
Heh heh. Fly carefully now.
Okay, whippersnappers?

Red:
Got it! And thanks again!
Let's get going!

Red:
(I smell like bugs! Ew!
 I should go take a shower...)

Elh:
Huh...?!

Elh:
!!!

Elh:

Red:
S-Sorry, I didn't know you were
in here... huh...?

Elh:
.........

Red:
What...
Errr...

Elh:
............

Red:
What do we have here?

Elh:

Elh:

Red:
Why didn't you just tell us you're
a girl?!

Elh:
You never asked.

Chocolat:
But why do you talk and act like 
a boy?

Elh:
It's just a habit I have, I guess.

Red:
Habit?! Oh, pul-eeze!! 
You're a girl! So act like one!

Elh:
I'm free to do as I like.

Red:
I can understand THAT, but... 

Red:
You don't have to fool others
or hide who you really are!

Chocolat:
Now, Red!
Calm down, okay?

Red:
How can I calm down! I was being
fooled the whole time!!

Chocolat:
Look, we've got a call!
...It's Québec again!

Elh:

Red:

Québec:
Still alive, I see! Davren Islands
musta been brutal for ya! 

Québec:
But I'm sure you're used to
gettin' slapped around by now!

Québec:
Wanna know where the Special Ops
are going next? Shetland Mines.

Chocolat:
Thank you, Mr. Québec.♪

Québec:
Take care, Miss Chocolat,♪
Red... you too, or somethin'.

Red:
.........

Elh:
Let's get ready to visit Shetland.

Chocolat:

Red:
Well, I don't see the ship that 
attacked us at the Davren Islands
anywhere.

Elh:

Chocolat:
You guys go take a look around.
I'll stay here with the Asmodeus.

Miner:
The Kurvaz have been up to
somethin' in the west mines.

Miner:
Maybe lookin' for somethin'?

Miner:
I've seen Kurvaz folk circling
around the Mayor's house.

Miner:
I don't know why the Mayor hasn't
kicked 'em out of town.

Miner:
His house? Go left, then down
Pickaxe Street.

Red:

Elh:
Just as I suspected, the Kurvaz
are here.

Elh:
First, let's go and check out the
ones around the Mayor's house.

Guard:
Hey, you Hunter, you. To enter, you
need to check in your robot here.

Red:
Huh? Why?

Guard:
Orders from the top.
We're on high alert.

Red:
Yeah, so?!
I wasn't ordered, you were!

Elh:
Don't make a scene, Red. Please,
just do as he says.

Guard:
Very sorry, friend. Just come
back here anytime to get your 
robot, okay?

Red:

Supervisor:
The mine's all closed. The
entrance's about to cave in.

Supervisor:
You gotta wait 'til the crew
finishes the reconstruction work.

Red:

Elh:
We need more information. Have you
talked to everybody?

Red:
(Hey... That's that Kurvaz
 guy, Calua, or something.)

Elh:

Kurvaz Soldier:

Calua:
Dude, where's Lady Opéra?

Kurvaz Soldier:
Lady Opéra is at the Mayor's
house at the end of this street.

Calua:
Gotcha! Thanks!

Elh:

Red:
.........

Red:
What do you think the Kurvaz
are doing at the Mayor's?

Elh:
Well, let's go to his house
and find out.

Red:

Elh:
Lots of Kurvaz are up ahead. If
you're not ready, let's go back.

No time like the present!
Got something I need to do first

Red:
...You!

Elh:

Gren:
I have been expecting you, Hunter.

Elh:

Red:

Gren:
Have you already forgotten the
tragedy at the Davren Islands?

Calua:
You're not getting the Crystal
Stone here this time, dude!

Elh:
So there IS another Crystal
Stone here...

Calua:
Er? Did I screw up again?
Duuuuude.

Gren:
.........

Gren:
Enough! Seize them!

Kurvaz Soldier:
Hah! Come here, brat!

Elh:
Oww!

Red:
Why you little...!
Get your hands off her!

Kurvaz Soldier:
Guwah!

Elh:

Kurvaz Soldier:
Resist us, will you? Men!
Surround them at once!

Red:
Ow! Argh!
Get off me!

Elh:
Red...!

Opéra:
Hmm. There's a party outside... 
Anyway, do we have an 
understanding?

Mayor:
The Crystal Stone is in the West
Mine! Just go find it yourselves!

Opéra:
We've been trying, and we can't 
find it. That's why I'm asking.
So, where exactly is it, now?

Mayor:
Just give me back my son!

Opéra:
Give him back...?

Opéra:
Honey, let me tell you something.
He joined the Kurvaz because he
wanted to. Nobody forced him.

Mayor:
He was deceived by your lies and
fantasies!　Why do such a thing
to an innocent young boy?

Opéra:
Well, if you give me what I want,
I could try to persuade the poor
dear to come home, I suppose.

Opéra:
But you may have to hurry. Because
he's going on a VERY DANGEROUS 
mission in 3 days, you know.

Mayor:
...! Are you threatening me?!

Opéra:
Oh, you're adorable! ♪ I look
forward to hearing from you SOON!

Kurvaz Soldier:

Red:
You lowlifes! Let us out!
Let us out of here, NOW!

Elh:
Do you really think you can get
away with this?

Kurvaz Soldier:
Hah! The Mayor himself gave us
permission to use the West Mine!

Elh:
...The Mayor?

Kurvaz Soldier:
I'll give you two some time to
let it all soak in, heh heh.

Elh:

Red:
Those Kurvaz didn't hold back when
beating me down... It still hurts.

Elh:
Um, er... 

Red:
...?

Elh:

Elh:
...Did they hurt you?

Red:
Wha-?!

Red:
Don't worry about me! I'm fine!

Elh:

Elh:
Anyway, we need to get out of
here.

Red:
Yeah, we do.

Red:
Let's look around and see if
there's anything we can use.

Chocolat:
Hello-oh?! Red? Elh? If you can
hear me, say something, please!!

Chocolat:
.........

Chocolat:
I haven't heard from them in
a while. 

Chocolat:
I really hope they're okay...

Red:
Furballs! Can't believe such a
rusty door won't even budge.

Red:
I wonder if there's something
in here that I can use...?

Red:
This place must'a been a
storeroom. Nothing but junk...

Red:
Hmmm.
Anything we can use...

Red:
A-ha! A piece of wire!
This will come in handy!

Red:
The rest is useless junk...

Red:
Use the wire like this... and...

Red:
Ta-dah! Freedom!

Red:
Think we can use this lift?

Red:
They've tossed the Dahak into the
trash! Better not be broken!

Red:
These rocks are blocking the only
way out.

Elh:
There's a drill over there. Why
not use that?

Red:

System:
Press the A Button when riding
your robot to pick up a drill.

System:
A drill can be used on targetable
rocks by pressing the A Button.

System:
Press the A Button with nothing
targeted to drop the drill.

Red:
Either way, it's impossible to
lift this drill without my robot!

Elh:
If we can't find your robot, 
there's no way we can proceed.

Red:
Ah! I bet we can ride in that
cart!

Red:

System:
Target the cart and press the A
Button to ride it.

System:
Press the A Button while riding
to swing your robot's arms.

System:
Swing your arms to collect items
near the track.

System:
Press the B Button while riding
to make the cart jump.

System:
Use this to jump over rocks and
other hazards on the tracks.

Red:
Ah! I've been spotted!

Kurvaz Soldier:
What?! How'd you get out of that
cell?!

Red:
Hey! I remember you! You're the
one that kept punching me! 
Time for some payback!

Red:
So, have you guys found the 
Crystal Stone yet? Spill it!

Kurvaz Soldier:
No way I'd tell you!
I'll get you next time!

Red:
Hey!
Come back here!

Elh:
Don't worry. They wouldn't still
be here if they'd found it.

Red:
So the Kurvaz don't have the
Crystal yet... That's good news!

Red:
...Hey, finally we're outside!

Elh:
There's a ship over there.

Red:
Finally, a break! Let's borrow 
that ship and get back to the 
harbor!

Red:
It ain't exactly brand new...
But looks like it'll run.

Elh:
Run? Crawl, maybe.
And barely that.

Red:
Don't worry about it.
Let's get goin'!

Escape now
Don't escape yet

Supervisor:
Hey, hold on.
Where's that ship gone?

Miner:
I was about to drag that rundown
ship to be scrapped.

Miner:
Maybe someone else took it for us,
you know?

Supervisor:
Well, so long as no one is fool
enough to start its engine...

Red:
We'll be there in no time!

Elh:
Hardly a smooth ride, though.
In fact, it's rather bumpy...

Red:
Yeah... too bumpy --

Red:
Hmm?! What's goin' on?!

Elh:
The engine is overloaded!

Red:
Oh furballs!

Red:
Well...!
That didn't go as planned!

Elh:
We almost ended up at the bottom
of the Cloud Sea...

Red:
But we didn't. And we're both
in one piece. That's a bit of
luck, right?

Elh:
...Let's just leave it at that.

Red:
What's this... a switch for the
crane or something?

Red:
I probably shouldn't just randomly
flip switches.

Miner:
I can't work like this! Guess
I'll take a nap...zzz...

Miner:
Anyone need anything... talk to
the Supervisor next to me... zzz.

Red:

Supervisor:
Hey, we're trapped in here now,
thanks to you guys!

Supervisor:
I was gonna take that rundown
ship to be scrapped!

Supervisor:
You two must be crazy, trying to
fly that heap of junk! 
Gah hah hah!

Red:
Sorry about that...

Supervisor:
Anyway, only way out of here is to
blow that ship up! And you're
gonna have to do it for us.

Supervisor:
Lucky for you we got some
industrial grade explosives 
around here. 

Red:

Supervisor:
Place three explosives over there
to totally destroy the ship.
You got that? You listenin'?

Red:
Yeah I got it.

Supervisor:
I got the switch here. Lemme
know when everything is ready.

Red:

Supervisor:
Lemme know when you've placed
all three!

Red:

Supervisor:
Great job! Fire in the hole!

Red:

Supervisor:
Now we can get through! 
Back to work, work, work!

Miner:
My head's ringing from that loud
explosion! Time for a nap...zzz...

Red:

Supervisor:
We can go through the mine,
finally! Back to work!

Red:
A door! I hope it's a way out of
here!

Elh:

Elh:
Looks like it's operated by that
floor switch.

Red:
I know these! Just need to find
something heavy!

Elh:
We can use this lift to go down
and enter any rooms we passed by.

Red:
Was there anything we could use
down there...? Let's check anyway.

Red:
This container should do the job!

Elh:
Load it onto the lift and let's
get back up there.

Red:
All right! Moving forward!

Elh:
If this really leads to an exit,
the Kurvaz should be outside,
so let's be careful.

Red:
Ah! 
You're that snotty fur-for-brains
that put me in that cell!

Gren:
...You again.

Red:

Gren:
I don't know how you got out...

Gren:
Nevertheless, I cannot allow you
to stand in Lady Opéra's way!

Gren:
Kuwah....! You are... stronger
than you look...!

Red:
Just returning the favor!

Gren:
My apologies... but I must take
your leave!

Red:
Is that what Kurvaz members are
best at? Running away?

Elh:
We'd better get moving ourselves.

Red:
Phew! We're FINALLY back in town!

Elh:
Let's check on the Mayor. He might
know about the Crystal Stone.

Chocolat:
Red? Can you hear me?!

Red:
Ah, Chocolat! Are you okay?

Chocolat:
I was about to ask you the same
thing. You had me so worried!

Red:
Then stop worrying. We're fine,
and we're heading to the Mayor's
house.

Elh:
We're going to the Mayor's house,
right? That's not the way.

Red:

Elh:
No Kurvaz Hunters in sight.
Let's go to the Mayor's house.

Red:

Mayor:
Those darned Kurvaz just won't
give up! Oh, my poor boy 
Louis...!

Mayor:
Wha...!

Red:
Sorry, we let ourselves in.

Mayor:
I told you! The Crystal Stone is
in the mines! That's all I know!

Elh:
Please, calm down.
We aren't with the Kurvaz.

Red:
In fact, you letting them use the
mine caused us a lot of trouble!

Mayor:
Ah... I'm sorry to hear that.
My sincere apologies.

Mayor:
My son was taken away by them,
you see. I had to comply!

Red:
They KIDNAPPED your son?

Mayor:
They said that if I don't give
them the Crystal Stone within
3 days he'd be put in danger.

Red:
Man... 

Red:
All right! That's it!

Red:
By my tail, we'll bring your son
back to you!

Elh:

Mayor:
Y-You will?

Mayor:
Louis may be foolish, but he's
still my son. Please. Help him!

Red:
We didn't quite get around to
talking about the Crystal Stone.

Red:
...Sorry.

Elh:
No, it's okay. 
When someone's in trouble, you
can't just stand by and watch.

Elh:
And once you decide to do
something, you see it through.

Elh:
I'm starting to understand who
you are, Red.

Red:
Is that meant to be a compliment?

Elh:
Well, that's for you to decide.

Red:
Uh...

Elh:
So let's get ready for the big
rescue!

Gren:
Lady Opéra, my deepest apologies.
I have returned in shame.

Opéra:
That pup and his friends are
quite... annoying... 

Calua:
Dude. Let me go after them. 
It's my turn next!

Opéra:
Oh, darlings. Let them be. 
Our highest priority is still to 
obtain the Crystal Stone.

Calua:
Oh, du--de, that's NOT cool!

Opéra:
We still have that foolish child,
the dear son of the Mayor, 
as our trump card!

Opéra:
I'm sure things are going to work
out just scrumptiously. Teeheehee.

Red:
What was the name of the ship 
holding Louis captive?
Was it... the Royal Envy?

Chocolat:
Uh-hum, yes. It's the same 
purple ship that came after
us at the Davren Islands.

Chocolat:
We need to get inside it, but
they know what the Asmodeus 
looks like. We need a plan... 

Mayor:
Then allow me to lend you one of
our Shetland Drill Ships.

Mayor:
I'll tell the Kurvaz that it has
the Crystal Stone onboard.

Mayor:
That may let you get close to
them without arousing suspicion.

Red:
Sounds good! That gets my
vote, the only vote that counts!

Chocolat:

Elh:
I'll get ready to go with --

Red:
No, this'll be easier if I go
alone. No need to come along.

Elh:
Wait! If something happens to you
or the medallion --

Red:
Mayor! I'm ready whenever the
Drill Ship is!

Mayor:
I'll get it prepared immediately.
...Red, please.

Mayor:
See to it that my son, as foolish
as he might be, gets back safely.

Red:
Heh, there's nothing to worry 
about! I'll be in and out before
the Kurvaz know it!

Chocolat:

Elh:
...Be very careful, Red.

Louis:
Stay in that room, they say! Hah!
Like I'm not going to get bored...

Louis:
A rising star like me? On my 
way to becoming a super-ultra-
cool-hunter! ♪

Louis:
Oh, man, my ol' pop's got no idea 
about me and my talents!

Louis:
...I reckon it's time I kicked
some tail as a real Hunter! Yeah!
Wonder what my first gig will be?

Louis:
I know what to do. I'll just go
ask that nice lady! I wonder
if she's in here...? Heh heh.

...You know, about the Louis
boy.

Yes, my lady...?

Kurvaz Soldier:
Hey! ♪ Perfect timing!
They're talking about yours truly!

Kurvaz Soldier:
The day we agreed on to trade the 
brat for the Crystal Stone is 
almost here...

Opéra:
And still no reply... The Mayor 
must not care much for his son.

Kurvaz Soldier:
With all due respect, this Louis
kid isn't worth much as a hostage.

Louis:
(...What? Hostage? Me?!)

Opéra:
If things stay the way they are,
we'll just have to send him on
that dangerous mission after all.

Louis:
(Hyaaaah! No way no way no way!
 I've gotta r-r-r-run away!)

Opéra:
Teehee. It'll be funny to see his
reaction when I tell him that! ♪

Opéra:
Hmm? Who's there?!

Louis:
Hyaaaaaaaah!

Opéra:
Don't tell me he heard everything!

Opéra:
Aaauugh!!
Get that rascal back here at once!

Kurvaz Soldier:
Yes, my lady!

Red:
Smooth sailing so far. Now I just
need to get inside...

Red:
Open sesame!

Red:
Heh heh heh! Like clockwork!
Now that I got through the hard 
part... 

Red:

Kurvaz Soldier:
You're the one from Shetland?

Red:
Ah, well, yes and no. I mean, I
came from there, but I...

Kurvaz Soldier:
You're a spy! 
Who exactly are you?!

Red:
(Bah! I've blown my cover
 already?!)

Red:
Ah well! This way is more my
style, anyway! Bring it!

Red:
Okay, so NOW the hard part 
is out of the way!

Red:
That Kurvaz guy... He's 
gone already, huh. 
Those guys sure can run.

Red:
Looks like it'll take some good
old fashioned leg work to find
Louis, then!

Red:
Looks like I've already stirred up
this beehive!

Agent:

Kurvaz Soldier:

Kurvaz Soldier:
Intruder sighted! Seize him!

Red:
Haha!
How 'bout I seize you!

Red:
No time to backtrack. Gotta go
forward and fast!

Red:
Two doors.

Chocolat:
The top one says Main Engine Room,
the bottom one Sub Engine Room.

Red:

Red:
Figures... it's locked.

Red:
Time to use that key I found... 

Red:
Great! It's open!

Kurvaz Soldier:

Agent:

Red:
Whoa!

Kurvaz Soldier:
The intruder's in the Sub Engine
Room! I'll just ambush him here.

Kurvaz Soldier:
The rest of you proceed to the
ballroom and capture the hostage!

Agent:
Aye aye, sir!

Red:
Ran away to the ballroom, did he?!
Thanks for the heads up!

Kurvaz Soldier:

Kurvaz Soldier:
You intruder!

Red:
Guess I better get to the 
ballroom. But I'm impressed... 

Red:
Little punk's doin' a great job of
giving the Kurvaz and me the 
runaround!

Red:
I gotta go in deeper within this
ship to find this Louis kid.

Red:
Why won't this open...? Ah! It's
a 3-digit combination lock!

Red:

Red:
Perfect. I'll take them out along
with the engine so they panic.

Red:
Oh no!

Chocolat:
There you go getting carried away
again! The ship's going down!

Red:
Then I'd better make sure I find
Louis before that happens!

Red:
A bunch of rooms in this ship...

Chocolat:
He might be hiding in one of them.
You'll have to search them all!

Red:

Chocolat:
The door on the far left should
lead to the ballroom.

Red:

Chocolat:
You probably should search here
some more!

Red:
A diary...?

I'd better note the password
down here so I don't forget.

Password for 1st Storage Room
1  3  5

Password for 2nd Storage Room
8  2  8

Chocolat:
...It's more like a treasure map
than a diary!

Red:
A suspicious looking key! Where's
the Sub Engine Room again?

Chocolat:
Down the stairway that leads to 
the Main Engine Room. I think.

Red:
I'll take it, then. Might come in
handy later.

Chocolat:

Red:
You! Where's Louis? If ya don't
tell me now, then I'll force you.

Kurvaz Soldier:
Umm... I don't know. One of the
guys mentioned something about a
hostage, but I don't know. 

Red:
...What? You're not putting up
much of a fight?

Kurvaz Soldier:
I'm not on duty today, you know.
I was about to take a nap, so I 
don't really feel like fighting.

Kurvaz Soldier:
Anyway, this job doesn't pay
enough, heh, you know... 

Red:
...Maybe you need to think about
a new career?

I think you'll have more luck 
talking to someone else, okay? 
Go do that.

Red:
Where's Louis?!

Kurvaz Soldier:
Y-You're the intruder?! I don't
have time to fight you right now!

Red:
What do you mean?!

Kurvaz Soldier:
The little punk escaped from the 
ducts the second I turned my back.
I need to find him.

Kurvaz Soldier:
I got an idea. How's this...
Do me a favor and say he was able
to escape 'cause you attacked me!

Red:
You are out of your mind!
Whatever! Where'd he run off to?!

The radio said they just saw
him in the Sub Engine Room!

They said they saw the little brat
in the Sub Engine Room, okay?!

What's with the commotion all
of a sudden?

Are we losing altitude?

Red:
The sign says "Ballroom". Hmmm... 
But it's locked up tight.

Chocolat:
Let's come back later.

Red:

Red:
Chocolat was right. This ship's
going down. Better hurry up!

Red:
A three digit code lock...

Red:
Open! No door can shut me out.

Red:
No... that's not it, huh?

Chocolat:
There's gotta be a hint or
something somewhere... 

Red:

Kurvaz Soldier:
Your shenanigans end here,
intruder! Surrender!

Red:
I'm in a hurry, chump!
Don't try to stop me!

Red:
Ah! There!

Louis:
Hyaaaah!
Help me!

Louis:

Kurvaz Soldier:
Why you pesky little...!

Kurvaz Soldier:

Kurvaz Soldier:
Gah! He's run into the ducts!

Kurvaz Soldier:
...It's too cramped in there! 
Ow, my head!

Red:
So close! Missed him by a second!

Chocolat:
Now what do we do? He could 
be anywhere...

Red:
Argh! Back to square one!

Louis:
This totally sucks! I gotta get
outta here!

Louis:
Shoot! I'm back to where I started!

Red:
Hold it, kid! I'm here to rescue
you!

Louis:
What? Seriously?!

Not if I can help it!!!

Red:
!

Red:
Whoa! Crazy!

Opéra:
Even for a little boy, you're
quite the mischievous one.

Opéra:
Misbehavior can't go unpunished!
I'll teach you proper manners!

Opéra:
Kyaaaaah!
You'll pay for this!

Red:
That was close! Now I just need
to grab Louis and...

Emergency! Emergency!
Abandon ship at once! Repeat...

Red:
Time's up already?!
Hey! Kid!

Louis:
Me...?

Red:
Now's our chance to escape! Hold
on tight to my robot!

Louis:
Y-yes, sir!

Red:
Phew! That was a close call!

Elh:
Close call? Do you realize
the danger you were in?!

Chocolat:
It's okay, Elh. I'll give Red
a good mouthful later.

Red:

Elh:
..............

Red:
...Sorry.

Louis:
He--y! Why do I gotta stay in the
hangar all alone?!

Red:
Quiet, kid! You're the one who
started all this trouble!

Red:
For the time being, you should
stay there and think about it
while we head to Shetland!

Louis:
Ughhhhhhh...

Elh:
The pot calling the kettle black.
(Chuckles)

Elh:

Louis:
...Hey, Pops. I'm home...

Mayor:
Louis! Just wait 'till I get
my hands on you!

Mayor:
THUD!

Elh:

Louis:
Ow! I barely got back alive
and that's the welcome I get?!

Mayor:
No talking back! You're really
gonna get it later!

Louis:
Aaauugh!

Mayor:
Thank you so much, guys!
How can I ever repay you?

Mayor:
I almost never got to "discipline"
this moron ever again!

Louis:
...Oh... Pops...!
I'm sorry... so sorry...!

Elh:
.........

Elh:
May I ask you something? It's
about the Crystal Stone...

Red:

Mayor:
The Stone...? Well, I know I
can trust you. Okay then.

Mayor:
Actually, I have it in the house.

Red:
Eh? I thought it was in the mine?

Mayor:
Heh heh heh.
I'll bring it for you now. Just
wait a moment...

Mayor:
Here's the Crystal Stone. It's a
family heirloom.

Item:

Elh:
Ah...!

...That's the same pattern on 
your face as I saw back in 
Spinon! 

Red:
Yes, the Nono is reacting. Which
means, this is authentic.

That pattern... can it be...?!

So my suspicions were correct.
You are a Paladin.

Mayor:
Why do you know that?!

Red:

Elh:

Mayor:
My distant ancestors, together
with the Paladins...

Mayor:
... made a vow to protect the 
Crystal Stones at all costs.

Elh:

Red:
Why go through all the trouble
to protect these stones?

Mayor:
Ancient legends say that he who
collects all the stones...

Mayor:
... will be endowed with the 
Power of Disaster.

Red:
Disaster...? Meaning...

Elh:
Lares, most likely.

Mayor:
There are said to be 3 Crystal
Stones in all. This is one.

Mayor:
Normally, we are forbidden to even
show the Stone to anyone. 
However...

Mayor:
A Paladin is definitely an 
exception. If you are in need of
it, please take it, it is yours.

Elh:
...I thank you from the bottom of
my heart.

Red:
With Spinon and Shetland checked,
where's the last remaining Stone?

Mayor:
If the ancient legend is true, the
final Stone...

Bruno:

Opéra:

Merveille:
The final stone is in Basset.

Bruno:
Hummm... all very well.

Bruno:
But why is the Crystal Stone
of Shetland not in my hands!

Opéra:
According to my reports, that 
little annoyance has already 
obtained it.

Merveille:
He has...? I see...

Bruno:
Imbeciles! You are "Special Ops"!
I'd hardly call any of your recent
contributions "special" at all!

Bruno:
You almost lost the Royal Envy,
too! What do you have to say?

Opéra:
Only that you have my deepest
apologies.

Bruno:
Then get that Crystal Stone back!
And the one from Basset too!

Bruno:

Grumpf:
A vord if I may, Your Excellence.
Allow ME to retrieve zhe Stone!

Grumpf:
Zis little princezz and her goonz
are deztined to fail you again.

Opéra:
How dare you...!

Opéra:
As if your brute force, trigger
happy methods get any job done!

Grumpf:
Hah! Now listen up, cutie pie...

Bruno:
Enough quibbling!

Bruno:
The Royal Envy is under repair.
Grumpf, YOU shall go.

Grumpf:
I vill not fail you, Guild
Master! Gah hah hah!

Red:
From what the Mayor was saying...

Chocolat:

Elh:
Yes, it seems that the Kurvaz
are trying to bring Lares under 
their control... 

Elh:
We have one Crystal, Kurvaz have
one, and the last one is in 
Basset.

Chocolat:
Should we head to Basset and try
to get the one there before them?

Red:
I'd like to do something about
the one the Kurvaz got too.

Elh:
............

Elh:
(Béluga... why are you working
 with the Kurvaz...?)

Bruno:
This is your chance to prove
yourself to me, Grumpf.

Grumpf:
Gah hah hah hah! I vill not let
you down, Your Excellence!

Grumpf:
Vhy don't YOU come along and see
how to really do zings, Ms. Opéra?

Opéra:
Far be it for me to pass on such a
gracious offer.

Grumpf:
Excellent! You vill learn a lot
by vatching me vork!

Grumpf:
Don't vorget to take notes! Gah
hah hah!

Opéra:
(How annoying...!)

Bruno:
Go, then!

Bruno:
I will not accept failure!

Red:
Well, we made it to Basset.
What next?

Chocolat:
Basset doesn't have a Mayor. So
where could the Crystal Stone be?

Elh:
In Spinon, the Crystal Stone was
hidden in a "shrine" so...

Elh:
Maybe we should start by looking
for something like that here, too?

Red:
Sounds like a plan. Let's gather
info on any "shrines" here...

A "shrine," you say...?
Here in Basset? I don't think
we have one...

A "shrine?" Not that I know of.
But Collie might know something.

Turn right here. Collie should 
be somewhere on the path to the
Fishing Spot.

Have you tried asking Collie?
He knows all about our town.

Head down to the right. Collie's
standing down there.

Red:

Got my paws full cleaning my
fishing kit at the moment.

If only there was someone who'd
take on that quest...!

Red:
You know anything about an
ancient "shrine" in these parts?

Ah, a long time ago, there
was a small island with a
"shrine" on it, yeah...

But it's not here no more. 
A hermit crab carried it off 
a while back, yep.

Red:
A hermit crab? Uh, how?
Are you sure?

Ah! You've never fished 'round
these parts, have you?

Red:
No... I haven't. So?

Well, then I'll tell ya if you
go down to the Quest Broker and
take on some work for me.

It'll be called,
Hermit Crab Hunting. 
You'll see it. Yep.

Red:
All right. The quest called Hermit
Crab Hunting, got'cha.

Red:
So, uh, how about tellin' me
about that "shrine" that this
place used to have...

Well, as you just saw, the hermit
crabs 'ere take battleships and 
islands as their homes.

And not so long ago, a hermit crab
went off with the entire island
that had the "shrine" on it.

Red:
Oh boy...

If you need to get to the "shrine,"
then you'll have to fish that
hermit crab, yep.

Red:
Ah ha! So that's why you made me
do that fishin' first! Thanks!

No problem at all...
Ah, 'nother thing 'bout that
hermit crab.

A girl from the orphanage claims
to 'ave seen the hermit crab in 
question, yeah.

Red:
A girl from the orphanage... got
it. Thanks for the tip!

Go right on the path up there
and just keep on a-goin' to get
to the orphanage from 'ere.

Red:

Have you talked to the girl in
the orphanage yet, boy?

Go right on the path up there
and just keep on a-goin' to get
to the orphanage from 'ere.

Fishin' is fun, ain't it now.
A good ol' time.

Come see me any time you want
to do a spot 'o fishin'.

Red:
An abandoned ship... I'll need to
unlock this door to get in.

Red:
I'll just use the key that
Director Fraisier gave me...

Red:
There! It opened!

Red:
Are you the girl who saw that crab
with the "shrine" island on its
back?

Charlotte:
Mister Shrine Crab?
Uh-huh! Yeah. I saw him!

Red:
Where?

Charlotte:
In our secret base! To the left 
of where Mr. Collie fishes.

Charlotte:
There's a spot in there for 
hermit crab fishing. 
That's where I saw it!

Red:
So if we catch a crab there, we
might hook a Crystal Stone too!

Charlotte:
But the base is locked with a key.
You can't get in.

Red:

Arzane:
No bigguns allowed in our secret
base!

Arzane:
Ms. Fraisier's locked it up.
So no grown-ups can enter!

Red:
You kids can get in there then?

Arzane:
There's a secret lil' entrance!
Just don't tell Ms. Fraisier!

Charlotte:
Did you go and catch Mister Shrine
Crab yet?

Charlotte:
He's in our secret base! To the
left of where Mr. Collie fishes.

Arzane:
Our secret base is scary! It's fun
and scary in there!

Biscotte:
Maybe I'll go and play there too.

Albert:
There's lots of fun things to see
in the abwandon-ed ship!

Charlotte:
Hey, miss. Why are you dressed up
like a boy?

Elh:

Elh:
Because...

Red:
It's easier to play in those
clothes. So she says.

Elh:

Elh:
Hey?!

Charlotte:
Great! Then let's play something!

Arzane:
What game should we pla-y?!

Elh:
Just... just wait a minute!

Red:
I'm gonna go fish for that crab! 
You stay here and play!

Elh:
You're joking?! I don't know
how to play kiddy games.

Charlotte:
But you're a kid too, aren't you?

Elh:
Ah.........

Red:
You're the director here? There's
something I need to ask you.

Dir. Fraisier:
Yes, I'm Director Fraisier.
Oh my, a Hunter needs MY help?
What can I do for you?

Red:
Could you give me the key to the
secret base?

Dir. Fraisier:
Secret base...? Oh, that popular 
fishing spot, the abandoned ship?

Dir. Fraisier:
But why? I locked that place
up because it's quite dangerous 
in there.

Red:
I'm fishing for a certain crab...

Dir. Fraisier:
Fishing...?

Red:
I don't expect you to believe
this!

Red:
But the fate of the world rests
on this crab fishing.

Dir. Fraisier:
Oh dear, a rather grave situation.

Red:
Y-You actually believe me?

Dir. Fraisier:
I don't really understand what
you're saying...

Dir. Fraisier:
But your eyes tell me that you
are a good person.

Red:
They do?

Dir. Fraisier:
...Here you go. The Abandoned
Ship Key.

Red:
T-Thanks...

Dir. Fraisier:
But please, make sure you watch
out for the kids if they go with
you in there!

Dir. Fraisier:
It really is dangerous
inside...

Red:

Dir. Fraisier:
One thing, though. Please don't
go into the Shipwreck Tower
you can see behind us...

Red:
Why not?

Dir. Fraisier:
It's very unstable. One wrong
step and who knows what could
happen.

Dir. Fraisier:
A very dangerous place.

Dir. Fraisier:
Especially the engine. It could
come crashing down at any moment!

Red:
Got it. I'll keep that in mind!

Red:

Albert:
Hey, Hunter buddy! I'm gonna go
with you.

Red:
You're one of the kids from the
orphanage, right?

Red:
Think you can handle leadin' me
to the fishin' spot of the 
abandoned ship, then?

Red:

Red:
Hey, baby crabs.

Red:
Better take them out before
they get any bigger!

Biscotte:
Hey, robot riding buddy!

Red:
Did all the kids from the
orphanage follow me here?

Biscotte:
It's fun in here, that's all!
But we've got a problem.

Biscotte:
The walkway is all, like, gone.
We're stuck on this side.

Red:

Albert:
Screws like that often come loose
and a part of the ship crumbles!

Red:

Biscotte:

Red:
Seriously...?

Red:
Anything else around here we can
use as a bridge...?

Red:
Perfect! Looks sturdy enough!

Albert:
Great! We'll use this column to
go forward!

Biscotte:
The walkway is all, like, gone,
and we're stuck here.

Biscotte:
Sometimes screws come loose and
parts of the ship crumble!

Biscotte:
Sweet! We'll use this column to
go forward!

Albert:
Took ya long enough, buddy!
This is the fishing spot!

Red:
Now I just gotta catch the 
crab that carried off the 
shrine!

Albert:
You don't have a harpoon, do you?

Albert:
There're lots of them scattered
around here. Try using one.

Red:
Thanks, kid! I'll give it a go!

Red:

Albert:
Try again?

Red:
All right! Got it!
The crab with the shrine island!

Albert:
I knew you could do it, Hunter
buddy!

Red:
Now to get onto that island and
find the shrine!

Red:
This must be the shrine. There's
something shining back there...

Red:
Let's check it out.

Red:
I need to check out that
light...

Red:
Doesn't look like there are any
locks or traps here... Great!

Item:

Red:
The third Crystal Stone is ours!

Red:
I'd better get this Crystal Stone
back to Elh.

Red:
Those other kids have probably
worn her out by now! Heh heh.

Chocolat:
Red, big trouble! A Kurvaz
ship just showed up!

Red:
Oh no! I need to get back
to the orphanage!

Red:
Bah... he got away!

Red:
No time like the present!
I'll take a break

Red:
Right! Here I come again!

Red:
Elh, are you okay?

Elh:
I'm fine.

Elh:
But the kids are very scared.

Charlotte:
Uuh... Elh...!

Elh:
Don't worry. We're here to 
keep you safe, okay?

Red:
No need to worry, kids!

Charlotte:
Okay... (sniff)

Grumpf:
Ve meet again, you little punk!

Red:

Elh:

Grumpf:
Don't expect anozer Hindenburg!
You're vinished this time!

Charlotte:
Kyaaaah!

Dir. Fraisier:
Get under cover, children!

Charlotte:
Uwaaaah!

Red:
Firing like crazy again?! There's
an orphanage, a whole town here!

Grumpf:
I'll cease vire if you hand over
all of your Crystal Stones!

Elh:
Red... You can't give in!

Red:
No choice! We can't risk the loss
of all these innocent lives.

Red:
We'll hand over the Crystal
Stones.

Elh:
No!

Red:
You can perform the Rite of
Forfeit, as long as we
have the Medallion, right?

Red:
Then let's just seal Lares
using the Rite of Forfeit!

Elh:
That... that's possible, but...
the Rite is...

Red:
Elh, it'll be okay.

Red:
So long as we're laughing in the
end, it's our win! Right?

Elh:
......

Elh:

Elh:
...Right.

I can't say I like this...
I can be mean, but I'm not evil.

Red:

Elh:

Opéra:
There's no beauty in this plan.
No elegance!

Great! Thank you!

Opéra:
...Quite an unexpected
development! Teeheehee! ♪

Red:
Now then...

Red:
The only way to reach his ship...
is up the Ship Wreck Tower, huh.

Dir. Fraisier:
Mr. Hunter use this!
And be careful!

Red:
The Ship Wreck Tower Key! Thanks!

Red:
I need to go as far up as I can
and figure out how to stop that
ship from firing those missiles!

Red:
There's no turning back now...
Gotta get going forward!

Red:
Higher than I thought... Should I
jump my way onto that war ship?

No, that'd take too much time.
What to do...?!

Elh:
Yup! Every one of them. Thanks to
you, Elh.

Elh:
...I'm impressed.

That's good... Phew... 

Elh:
Are you sure you're okay?

Yes... resorting to strong spells
is very draining... that's all.

If I rest a little... the Nono
and I will recover...

G-Good to know... Just lean on

Yes, indeed.

I'm one step closer to being

The door to the Holy Quarter

Béluga:
That direction... it's
Samoyede.

Merveille:
Samoyede... the holiest city of
the Anju religion.

Béluga:
Two holy places... but there's
no connection between them.

Béluga:
The door to the Holy Quarter
moves to a different place after
each Rite of Forfeit... 

Merveille:
I believe so, that is correct.

Béluga:
Only Elh and I can perceive the
light leading to the door.

Béluga:
Elh may already be heading

At this point, all will be for

Come on. Talk to me. What's going

Hah hah, more times around the

Elh:

I'm not sure what's on your mind,

Give yourself another 300 more

The door to the Holy Quarter
has opened.

Red:
What?!

Elh:
It's at... Samoyede.

Red:
Here we are. The Holy Quarter 
should be close by.

Elh:
The door to the Holy Quarter
seems to be deep inside that
mountain...

Elh:

Red:
Deep inside THAT mountain? That's
easier said than reached, then.

Red:
They aren't just going to 
invite us right in there!

Elh:
True, we aren't exactly members
of the religion that this holy
island is known for.

Elh:
But we can try asking some of
those who are.

Elh:
And they may help us if we take
some work from the Quest Broker.

Marianne:
Where can I get those
flowers...?

Anjalist:
Only those holding a Rosario, the
proof of one's faith, may pass.

Anjalist:
Only those holding a Rosario, the
proof of one's faith, may pass...

Anjalist:
Ah, that is indeed a Rosario. You
may pass. Peace be upon you.
