=======================================================================
" Alent Project was born in 1998 from the association of
passionate people who wanted to make one of the greatest games ever,
Grandia, understandable by non-Japanese speakers. The Alent
Project site (
http://grandia.dreamcast-hq.net) has from then
united all 3 of the available fan-translations of Grandia with the
hope an official translation would come... which finally happened.
As of october 1999, an english version of Grandia has finally
been released. Even if we weren'table to translate all the game,
we've made it to over 50% of the storyline conversations.
We staff members think it's been great to work all together to
put up this translation. Now, most players can enjoy the full
official translation, and the time has come to say goodbye. Alent
Project is now over, but we may see you again someday, if another
great RPG such as Grandia remains untranslated. This is no
farewell, this is only goodbye... "
Welcome to the text-only version of Alent Project ! Upon popular
demand, this text format version has been made available.

INSIDE AN AIRSHIP OF THE GARLYSLE ARMY
Baal
Mmph...I must have dozed off...and I had that dream again...hurrying
me. Myuren, what is our current position ?
Myuren
We have traveled at least halfway to our destination. You seem tired,
Shogun Baal.
Baal
How many times must I tell you, Myuren ? When the troops aren't around
you may call me "father".
Myuren
Is that what you wish ? But.. Leen is with us.
Baal
Ha, ha, ha... That sounds like something you would say. Leen is,
needless to say, a highly important component in the implementation of
our secret plan. You need not be afraid of her.
Leen
.................
Baal
The total exploration of the Saruto Ruins is already nearly complete.
However, I trust that your personal investigation will yield the
greatest finds.
Myuren and Leen
..................
Myuren
Since this is being handled by the elite western army, you should
expect good results.
P.A. System
It is now 13:40 military time. We are currently passing through Parm
airspace. ETA at our final destination is 15:30.
Myuren
Leen, open the window for our liege.
Leen
Yes, Commander Myuren.
**** ON THE STREETS OF PARM
Man
HEY YOU !!! YOU LITTLE PUNK !!! So it's you again Justin ! I can't
believe you're still bent on trying to steal from my storeroom !
Justin
No, I'm not ! Listen to me !
Man
I can see what you're doing ! You're destroying the place !
Justin
No, I'm searching for treasure ! I just have to find some ! I'm an
adventurer !
Man
What the hell are you talking about ?! And just how do you expect to
find treasure in all this junk ? (BONK !!!) Now for the last time,
STAY OUTTA' HERE !!
Sue
Justiiiiiiin ! Hey, hey Justin. Are you okay ? That sounded kinda'
painful
Justin
Oh, hey there Sue.... So you saw all of that, huh ? Well, don't worry
about me. It'll take more than that to faze me, right ?
Sue
Yeah.... Did you find anything in the storeroom ?
Justin
Nope... he's right about one thing. There really is nothing but junk
in there. How about you ?
Sue
Of course, I found something ! Ta-da ! Look at this ! The Armor of
Legend. And I found it all by myself !
Pooy
Pu ! Pu ! Pu !
Sue
Oh yeah, Pooy helped too. Well, here you go, Justin ! The Armor of
Legend.
*** Received the dirty apron.
Justin
Alright, Sue ! Now we have one of the items. So all we need to do is
find the Shield of Light, Helm of Courage, and the Sacred Soul Sword.
Sue
But if you don't find them before sundown, you lose ! That would be
terrible ! I don't want to be Gantz's bride you know ! I can't believe
you actually agreed to something like that Justin ! This whole thing
is your responsibility !
Justin
I know, I know. Alright, Gantz ! I'll show you !
Sue
We're going too, Pooy !
Pooy
Pu ! Pu !
Justin
: We've found it, Gantz ! The first treasure!
*** NEAR THE BRIDGE
*** Talk to the boy, Gantz, at the center of the bridge.
Gantz
Hey there, Justin ! You took long enough ! Pretty shocking for a
"world-class adventurer" ! Speaking of adventurers, did you know
that"The World's End" has nearly been totally explored ? That means
adventurers will soon be obsolete ! It's inevitable !
Justin
What's "The World's End" ?
Gantz
What ?! You call yourself a world-class adventurer and you don't even
know what "The World's End" is ? Well, sounds like you don't have much
of a chance of finding all 4 treasures before sunset. And when you
lose, I'll be Sue's master, and she'll be my bride !
Justin
Hey, what're you talking about, Gantz ? Surely there's plenty of time
to search after sunset. Oh yeah, take a look at this !
**** Justin shows the dirty apron to Gantz.
Gantz ...heh ? The Armor of Legend, huh ?
Justin
He, he... Now how's that for starters ?!
*** Talk to Gantz again.
Gantz
Hmmph, all you've got is the armor, big deal ! Now does Justin, the
3rd-rate adventurer, need a hint ??
*** 3 Choices
1) I'll find them without your help !
2) Tell me about the Helm of Courage.
3) Ok, so what's your hint for the Shield of Light?
**** Choose 1
Gantz
....What !? So think you can find em' without my help, eh ? Even if
you could find those two, there is no way you'll find the Sacred Soul
Sword !
*** Choose 2
Gantz
The Helm of Courage, huh ? You'll find it in a place where you can
hear the sound of rushing waters.
Justin
The sound of rushing waters... ?
**** THE HELM OF COURAGE
*** Walk alongside the dike that divides the city in half. You'll find a
staircase going down to the river. If you're having a hard time
finding it, just rotate the map. You can't miss it. Now walk towards
the west and you'll see a sparkling item. Click on it.
Sue
Hey, Justin. Do you think this pot could be the Helm of Courage ?
Justin
Oh yeah, that's right Sue ! This is it ! He, he, he... just you wait,
Gantz !
*** Received the used old pot.
*** Go back to Gantz.
Gantz
Hey, Justin ! You've noticed the futility of your search, and have
come back to grovel before me, right ?
*** Justin shows Gantz the worn-out pot.
Gantz
Ehh !? Dang, the Helm of Courage ! Well, you've still got two more
treasures left. For now, try finding the Shield of Light. You'll find
it in a place you can hear seagulls calling.
Sue
Seagulls, huh ?
*** THE SHIELD OF LIGHT
*** Head to the harbor. Once there, walk forward then left. You should see
a sparkling item near one of the walls.
Sue
Maybe... this saucepan lid could be the Shield of Light !
Justin
....huh ? Hey, that does look like a shield ! Let's get it !
Received the saucepan lid.
*** Go back to Gantz.
Gantz
So what do you have this time ? Show me !
Justin
He, he... I've got the Shield of Light !
*** Justin shows Gantz the saucepan lid.
Gantz
.... Hmmph ! So you've found the shield, huh ? I guess that means
you've got 3 of the 4 treasures, but this is where you fail, Justin !
For the Sacred Soul Sword is next !
Justin
Haha ! I'll find the sword before you know it, Gantz ! And when I do,
I win this challenge !
Sue
Still... I haven't seen anything that resembles a sword...
*** THE SPIRITS SWORD
*** Talk to Gantz again.
Gantz
Listen up, Justin ! The sword is inside my treasure chest within my
house. But you can't open it, because it's locked tight, loser ! Ohh,
I wonder where the key could be ! Ha, ha, ha !
Justin
The key to his treasure chest... Hmm... I wonder where it is ?
Gantz
Hey Justin ! Since you're such a big-shot adventurer opening that
treasure chest should be a piece of cake for you. Of course if you
can't, you're certainly not worthy of the title, "adventurer", are you
?
*** Head to Gantz's house. Once inside, click on the treasure chest.
Justin
Well, this must be the treasure chest. *Mmmmph* ! Ugh, I can't get it
open... If only we had the key...
Sue
Why don't we ask Gantz's mom ?
*** Talk to Gantz's mom.
Gantz's Mom
Ah, there, finished ! Now where could Gantz and Tentz be off to ? Why,
it's already time for dinner ! Oh, what is it, Justin ? Can't seem to
find the key to Gantz's treasure chest, eh ? Ah yes, I remember Gantz
giving Tentz the key around lunchtime. Why don't go find Tentz and ask
him about it ?
*** Go talk to the kid outside of the tavern.
Tentz
What am I gonna do ? Oh what am I gonna do !? Sniffle, sniffle,
*whimper*, *whimper*, WAAAAAAH !!
Justin
Hey Tentz, what's wrong ? Why are you crying ?
Tentz
Sniffle, sniffle, *hic*... I'll tell but... You wouldn't tell my big
brother about it, right ?
*** 2 Choices
1) Well, I can't be sure until you tell me.
2) Well... I guess I will probably tell your brother.
*** Choose 1
Tentz
WAAAH ! No, no, that's no good !! If you ended up telling him, he'd
hit meeeeeeeeeee !! WAAH! WAAH ! Someone's gotta help me... Sniffle,
sniffle.
*** Choose 2
Tentz
Noooo ! Nooo ! You can't !!! If you told him that I lost the key it
would be hoooooorible !!!
Sue
Hmm.. I see.. Seems like the key to the treasure chest is lost.
Tentz
How... How did you know !? I can't believe it !! Sue, you can read my
mind !?
Sue
Hee, hee... Tentz, you poor little kid, that's cute. Now, now, stop
crying we'll help you find the key, right Justin ?
Justin
*smiles* Well, I guess we have no choice, right ? Now Tentz, do you
have any idea where you might have dropped the key ?
Tentz
Sniffle, sniffle... Well I was just by the riverbank near the
tavern... Then I tripped and fell...
Sue
It must be near the river ! Let's check !
Walk toward the river and crawl all around near the edge of the river,
until you find the key.
Justin
Hey, what's this ? He, he, he ! I've found it !
Tentz
Yeah, that's it ! Thanks Justin and Sue !
Justin
Well you sure perked up !
Tentz
I owe you one, Justin. I won't forget this favor you've done for me.
Well... At least I'll remember it until the day after tomorrow !
Sue
He, he ! Well, looks like you're back to your old self, Tentz ! And to
think, you were crying your eyes out a while ago.
Tentz
Gantz told me to not let you have the key but... Oh go ahead and keep
it, Justin ! It's my way of repaying you for helping me out. Just make
sure you tell Gantz that you took the key away from me by force,
otherwise he'll beat me up ! The Sacred Soul Sword is in the treasure
chest inside our house. Let's go !
*** Go back to Gantz's house and try opening up the chest.
Justin
Alright ! Let's open the chest !
Sue
Boy you sure look excited, Justin ! Pooy thinks so too !
Pooy
Pu ! Pu !
Justin
Okay... There it is ! The Sacred Soul Sword !
*** Received the wooden sword.
*** Go back to see Gantz
Greg
Why do you kids do such bad things !? Are you listening to me, Gantz ?
!
Justin
What's going with Gantz over there ? I wonder what he did to make old
Greg so mad ?
Sue
See ? And I told him not to block the bridge ! He's so stupid !
....And that's why we're just going to walk across, we had nothing to
do with it !
*** Walk toward the bridge.
Greg
Hmm ? Wait, ustin ! Were you playing with Gantz ?
Justin
Hey, what're you talking about ? I wasn't playing with him !
Sue
Th-that's right, Mr. Greg ! We're just passing through... right, Pooy?
Pooy
Pu ! Pu, puu !
Gantz
You can't believe them ! Of course they were playing with me ! I
challenged Justin to a treasure hunting contest !
Greg
Is that so... ? What's the meaning of this, Justin ! ?
Justin
Yikes ! This doesn't look too good ! At any rate, RUN Sue !
*** THE SEAGULL CAFE
Justin
Huf, huf, huf... Aah.. That was close... Jeez, He didn't have to get
so mad !
Sue
Justin, you musn't behave so poorly ! I can't depend on you at all !
*** Walk up to the counter.
Lily
Hey, Justin ! (BONK !)
Justin
OWWW ! Mom, what did you do that for !?
Lily
Aren't I always telling you not to track mud in the kitchen ?!
Justin
Still... Why don't you give me a warning before you bash my head in !?
Lily
What are you talking about ? My number one rule of the Seagull Cafe is
that everyone stays out of the kitchen so I can keep it clean. Got it
? Now get out, get out ! Boy, what a troublesome kid ! Always trying
to enter the kitchen, but never giving me any help !
Sue
Hello, Aunt Lily. You know, if you keep bonking Justin's head like
that, he might get really stupid.
Lily
Ha, ha, ha ! Oh don't worry, Sue, Justin's head can't get any worse
this.
Justin
What a terrible thing to say ! How can you say that to your only child
!?
Lily
Why don't you try being a good child, so I can't say such things,
Justin ?
Justin
Hmmph... I'm getting nothing but anger today !
*** Talk to Lily again.
Lily
Nothing but anger... !? JUSTIIIIN ! What have you been doing all day
!? Ok... I'm calm now. Just tell me the truth, I won't get mad.
Justin
That's a lie ! You always get mad at me, even when I tell the truth !
Lily
What are you talking about ! You've never tried telling the truth
before ! Now then, please be honest with me. What did you do today ?
*** 3 Choices
1) M-mom... getting angry like this... causes you to get more
wrinkles.
2) Actually I've been busy since morning.
3) I didn't do anything today ! Ask Sue !
*** Choose 1
Lily
That's none of your business ! (BONK !)
*** Choose 2
Justin
Well, actually, I've been busy since dawn, and haven't had any time to
cause trouble. In fact, there were *tons* of things I had to do.
Lily
Hmm... and just what exactly have you been busy doing ?
Justin
Eheh, heh, heh... I kinda' forgot that little detail.
(BONK !)
Lily
I can't believe you'd say something so stupid !
*** Choose 3
Justin
I didn't do anything ! Ask Sue ! Even I can't into trouble every
single day, right ?
Lily
Is that right, Sue ?
Sue
I-it's true, Aunt Lily ! Justin didn't do anything naughty today.
H-h-honest... !
Lily
Are you sure that's the complete truth, Sue ?
Sue
Well, yes... He didn't do anything bad. At least compared to what he
did yesterday.
(BONK !)
Lily
So you were up to something, after all ! I keep telling you to be
honest with me. I swear, this kid... Well, I don't know exactly what
you did, just that you made someone in town angry... Oh well, let's
have dinner. I've fixed up something new today. You can have dinner
with us today too, Sue.
Sue
Are you sure it's okay ? I've been eating here everyday.
Lily
How polite ! Well, your aunt says ok, so don't worry about it. Now
then, you kids go wait upstairs, alright ?
*** DINNER WITH LILY
Lily
The museum curator had lunch at the restaurant today. Strange, since
he always simply brings a sack lunch to work. Ah.. oh yes, he also
mentioned that he wants to see you at the museum tomorrow. Something
about returning something important he's been safeguarding for you...
You dont's suppose it's just more junk he had to get rid of ?
**** Talk to Sue.
Sue
Whew, I worked up a big appetite after all that running. We had a
little adventure, didn't we ?
Justin
Yep, but my descendents had truly magnificent adventures ! See those
those photos on the wall ?
Sue
Yeah, your dad was just the greatest adventurer, wasn't he ?
Justin
That's right ! And one of these days, my picture will be on that wall
too ! It'll be right next to my dad's !
*** Talk to Sue again.
Sue
Still, your dad doesn't look like an adventurer from this picture. He
wasn't too big, and he doesn't really seem that rough and tough.
Justin
Still, he was really smart, and always kept detailed writings of all
his discoveries. He also was calm, no matter what the situation !
Sue
Yeah, and Justin is the exact opposite no matter what the situation.
Hee, hee, hee...
Justin
He, he ! But I'll show you, I'm going to be a great adventurer, just
like him !
*** Talk to Lily.
Lily
I wonder what the Curator's been safeguarding for you ? It must be
your father's old memento, that Spirit Stone. Now mind you, your
father wasn't the type to lie, but to think that was the real Spirit
Stone ! Still, now that I think about it, that little stone was your
father's most prized possession.
Sue
Oh, oh ! I want to hear about the time you and Justin's dad met !
*** Talk to Lily again.
Lily
We met each other onboard a ship the first time. It was a nice, quite,
moonlit night, and the sea was completely silent.
Sue
Did you hear that Justin ? A nice, quite, moonlit night by the sea !
How romantic~.
Lily
And then, all of a sudden, a band of pirates appeared, and in the
blink of the eye they boarded your father's ship.
Justin
Hey ! Now this story's starting to sound interesting ! Hey, hey... so
what happened after that ?
*** Talk to Lily again.
Lily
Well, the pirate captain caught sight of your father's prized stone.
Then he drew out his sword and said, "Hand over that stone !"
Justin
Really !? You go Dad !!! And then ? And then ?
Lily
Well, the pirate captain was very impressed with your dad's courage
and decided not to take the stone.
Justin
Wow, I wonder what type of guys those pirates were ? They were
probably burly sea men with long beards and big muscles.
Lily
A-ha-ha-ha ! Heavens no ! They were all girls who were about your age
! In fact, there was one called "Lily the Skull."
Justin
Now where have I heard that name before... ? Hmm... Lily... Lily... Oh
yeah ! That's you, Mom !
Lily
A-ha-ha ! You finally noticed ! I was young back then and did all
sorts of reckless things.
Sue
I didn't know Aunt Lily was a pirate ! In that case, I wanna' be a
pirate too !
Lily
Well, I'm actually a little embarrassed by it, so don't tell anyone,
okay ? Well, I guess everyone probably knows about it by now...
*** Talk to Sue.
Sue
Wow ! So I guess Lily isn't just skilled at cooking and cleaning. When
I grow up, I want to be just like her !
*** Select yourself (Justin).
Lily
Already finished ? There's plenty left, so don't hesitate to have
another helping.
*** 2 Choices
1) Well then, I guess I'll have another helping !
2) Nope, I'm stuffed.
*** Choose 1
Lily
Alright then, another helping coming up ! Bon appétit !
*** Choose 2
Justin
Boy, that was delicious !
Sue
We have to go visit the museum Curator tommorow, right ? Don't forget
!
*** THE MUSEUM
*** After you awaken...
Sue
Morning, Justin
! Let's get going !
*** Go to the museum, it's in the southeast area of Parm.
Receptionist
Welcome to the Shogun Baal Memorial Museum ! This museum showcases our
country's latest developments in the field of archaeology... Ah,
Justin, you've come to talk to the Curator, right ?
*** Talk to the receptionist.
Receptionist
Hey, Justin, I hope you're aware that adventuring is "out" right now.
Justin
Hmmph... as if I cared ! Enough of that already !
Receptionist
*snicker* I guess you already knew. The Curator is in the exhibition
room. Just try not to get into any trouble, ok ? Oh, and we recently
put up a new poster. It's right next to that sun relief. Why not have
a look at it ? Try to read the poster.
Sue
Hey Justin, what's this say ? Read it to me.
*** 3 Choices
1) The Origins of the Baal Memorial Museum
2) Meshina's Historical Treasures, The Ruins of Saruto
3) The Archeaological Meaning of "Enjule"
*** Choose 1
Justin
While Shogun Baal was a soldier, he had a keen interest in
archaeology. At that time, he urged the military to support
archaeological projects, especially those requiring dangerous
excavations. He's been quoted to have said, "A man must know history,
for history contains the greatest lessons one can be imparted with."
Our Shogun has made many contributions to the field of archaeology,
among them is the establishment of this museum... Wow, if it wasn't
for this guy, we'd probably never get to view all these cool relics !
*** Choose 2
Justin
At the time the Saruto Ruins were discovered, they were the biggest
the world had seen. Its gigantic size exceeded all expectations. The
ruins were discovered in the Saruto area northwest of Parm, and are
thought to have been the stronghold of a powerful ruler in ancient
times... Hey, my grandfather discovered Saruto Ruins ! And one day,
I'll make my own great discoveries !
*** Choose 3
Justin
Enjule is the ancient name for our civilization. Enjulian is the
ancient equivelent of Parmian, our ancient culture is known as the
Enjule culture. This term is used to clearly distinguish between
ancient and modern times in history and archaeology. In modern Parm,
there is a well known story called the Legend of Enjule. Could this
story have been passed on from ancient times ? Most experts believe
that the legend was actually created by a very powerful and
influential ruler of Enjule. However, the exact meaning of the legend
remains a mystery to this day.
*** Go to the exhibit hall and talk to the Curator.
Justin
Hey there, Mr. Curator !
Sue
Good day to you, Mr. Curator.
Curator
Ah, you're just in time, Justin, my boy ! Now why don't you have a
look this ? (you look up) It's a new Koyokujin image ! We just
finished restoring it today !
Justin
Wow, so this an image of a Koyokujin, huh ? I've never seen a type
like this before.
Curator
Mmm.. Yes, it was excavated by the Garlysle army from the Domu Ruins
in the new world, Elencia.
Justin
Wow, Domu Ruins... Those are the largest ruins in Elencia ! Man, I
wouldn't mind exploring those someday.
Curator
Is that so... Is that so... Well they say that one with a hopeful
spirit can do great things, Justin. According to the Enjule legend,
the Koyokujin created a dreamlike world, a true paradise, with the
power of the Spirit Stone. There are a number of interesting ideas in
the legend... They are things about a city that floated in the sky, a
ship that could travel to the stars...
Justin
A steam engine that could run forever !
Curator
The place where time is frozen, the Holy Land, the home of the Spirit
Stone !
Justin and Curator
And the immortal high priest that lives there !
Sue
Uh, do we have to keep going on with this subject ?
Justin
That's not very polite, Sue ! Just try to wait a little longer.
Sue
I can do that ! I understand the dreams of men. That's why I'm a
refined lady~.
Curator
Ha, ha, ha ! Anyhow, when I try to contemplate the nature of this
legend, these utopian ideas seem to have almost certainly been
fabricated by a very influential ruler of Enjule. This king invented
such things as spirits and Spirit Stones to try to legitimize his
existence.
Justin
Man... Looking at it like that makes it seem so boring. Archaeology
doesn't seem like much fun.
Curator
Ha, ha, ha. I'm sorry ! I too prefer talking about more exciting
things. Is this scientific talk boring you, Justin, my boy ?
Justin
Yeah, and to think that all those fantastic myths and legends may be
just ordinary things. That seems so depressing.
Curator
True. The fantastic ideas of these myths are their true beauty, not
their assumed origins.... Ah, oh yes ! Before I forget, your father
left me an artifact called the Spirit Stone.
Justin
You've analyzed it, right ? Is it authentic ?
Curator
: Ha, ha, ha. I'm not sure really. To begin with, I tried analyzing
its components, but it's harder than diamond, so I wasn't able to
study it as much as I wanted to.
Justin
Wow, even harder than diamond... ?
Curator
Yes, well... I've been trying to think of another way to determine its
authenticity, but right now I'm going to return it to its rightful
owner.
*** He hands you the Spirit Stone.
Curator
Here you go. Perhaps you can find out if it has some ancient power.
Anyway, when you're through examining the image, come to my office.
I'll give you something I'm sure you'll like. Ha, ha, ha !
Justin
The Curator expects me to solve the riddle of the ancient
civilization, huh ? Well, I, Justin the Adventurer, will do it !
*** Examine the image.
Justin
So this is the Koyokujin image they found at Domu... Hmmm.. Those
ancient people sure made a lot of these.
Sue
So the Domu Ruins are the largest ruins in Elencia, huh ? Wow, Justin,
you sure know a lot of stuff.
Justin
Well, if you want to be an adventurer you have to know these things.
Still, I get so bored learning about other peoples' adventures. I seem
like I can just hear the mountains and forests of Elencia just calling
out to be explored ! And with these bare hands... I will uncover the
lost civilization of Enjule !
*** The image breaks.
Sue
W-w-w-wha-what did you do, Justin !?
Pooy
Pu, pu ! Pupupu !
Justin
Ah ! It broke ! W-well, I'll just fix it... Help me, Sue !!
Sue
No, i-it's impossible to fix it ! We should just apologize now.
Justin
No, I can't ! Did you see how proud the Curator was of this image ?
Just don't say anything about it, okay ? I remember exactly how it was
put together, so I can just...
*** Later...
Sue
Is that what it's really supposed to look light ? Somehow it looks...
different.
Justin
... Well... yes... but, don't you think it looks at least 70% correct
? 70% is a passing grade !
Sue
In that case... I guess it is a logical substitute. Examine the image
again.
Sue
Justin, it looks really weird.
Justin
No, it'll be ok ! Besides, everyone will probably forget all about
this once I discover Enjule !
*** Go talk to the curator.
Curator
Ah, here it is ! Seeing your warm, smiling faces always brightens my
day, and I'm sure you'll be smiling up a storm when I give you this...
Now, it was in my pocket, wasn't it ?
Justin
He, he, he. Sounds like you're getting a little forgetful, Mr.
Curator.
Curator
Ha, ha, ha ! Well, old age hasn't gotten the best of me yet ! Oh, and
I thought I heard a loud noise a while ago, did something happen ?
CRASH !!
Justin
W-what should I do, Sue ? Should I just tell him what happened ?
Sue
Hey, don't look at me ! You're the leader !
*** 2 Choices
1) N... no it was... uh, nothing.
2) Actually... I accidently broke that new image.
*** Choose 1
Curator
Is that the truth ? Absolutely nothing happened ?
*** Choose 2
Justin
Well, the truth is... I accidently broke the image.
Curator
Ha, ha, ha ! Nice joke, Justin ! Now if that image really were broken,
it would probably wouldn't be too good for my weak heart. Well, now
that the jokes are over, I have a present for you.
Justin
What is it ? !
Curator
A bit impatient, aren't we ? Here it is...
*** You receive the curator's letter.
Curator
The Garlysle Army is currently re-investigating the Saruto ruins. With
this letter, they'll let you look around the ruins while they work.
Justin
...Really !? Thank you, Mr. Curator !
Sue
That's great, Justin ! You were just saying how much you wanted to see
some ruins just a while ago !
Pooy
Puu, puu !
Curator
I'm glad I could help ! Now, all you need to do is show this letter to
the soldiers guarding the ruins, and they should allow you to explore
the area. Perhaps you can even find out whether that Spirit Stone is
authentic or not.
*** Talk to the receptionist on the way out.
Receptionist
I wonder what that loud crashing sound was a while ago ?
Justin
Ack ! He... he, he. I wonder if it was a mouse or something ?
Sue
I know that mouse.... He likes going on adventures....

OUTSIDE THE RUINS
*** Talk to the soldier near the fence.
Soldier
Hey! Hold it! Kids aren't allowed in here!
Justin
Wait a second! Have a look! It's a a letter from the musuem curator.
Soldier
Well, I'll be... But what the curator have been thinking, giving kids
access to these ruins?
Justin
Oh, don't worry about those little details. Just let us in, ok?
Soldier
Hmm.. Well, I guess I have to now.. You can go in.
Walk inside the fenced in area. The lieutenants will begin to speak to
their troops.
Nana
Alright troops, fall in! Face your superior officer!
Saki
Do you understand the importance of this situation? We've come all the
way from the new world for this, so we can't leave empty-handed! Make
sure you don't embarrass us!
Mio
You will head to the plaza on the first underground level soon. Please
standby until you are given the order to proceed.
Nana
Alright, now it's time! Get moving! Hurry up, people!
*** Facing the other lieutenants.
Nana
Um, Saki, your troops were late again. I don't think you're
disciplining them properly.
Saki
What are you talking, Nana? I just had them do 3000 squats each!
Mio
Saki, you're always trying to think with your muscles instead of your
brain. The proper way to discipline them is to make them meditate for
100 days. Don't give them any food or water during this period so they
can learn the proper technique.
Nana
Oh-ho! That's nothing, Mio! I prefer to give them 5000 lashing with my
whip, pour salt all over them, then stick them in a cell for 100 days!
Saki
You'll end up killing them if you do that!
Mio
Cmdr. Myuren is going to be upset when hears about that.
Nana
Nah, I'm not worried. I forbid my troops to tell anyone about it! Ha,
ha, ha!
Mio
*sigh* We better get going, lest we be late.
Saki
Hey, if we're late, it's your troops' fault!
*** Head toward the entrance of the ruins.
Nana
Why are there kids here?!
Justin
Alright! So the ruins are underground, right? I'm ready to see them...
Well, lead the way!
Nana
This looks very suspicious... Who are you? Why are you here? Come on!
Answer me!
*** 3 Choices
1) Run madly away from here.
2) Talk to Sue.
3) Show them the curator's letter.
*** Choose 1
Sue
Hey, wait a minute, Justin! Don't do anything stupid. How are you
going to get away from them? It's going to just make them more
suspicious of us.
*** Choose 2
Sue
Hmm... I despise them. They're so rude!
*** Choose 3
Justin
We've come to check the ruins out. Look, the musuem curator of Parm
gave us this letter.
Nana
Really...? Let's see here...
Saki
Hmmm...
Mio
What should we do? It looks like the genuine article.
Justin
Yeah, that's it! There's nothing suspicous about this at all! So, lead
on! To the underground level!
Nana
You want to go the underground level, eh? Well, alright. Just let me
see that letter for a second.
*** She takes it and rips it up.
Justin
Wha!?
Sue
Aah!
Nana
Did you that? Looks like the letter is gone. Now you're considered an
illegal trespasser.
Saki
That's right, that's right! Now we can arrest you, tortue you, and
then put you to death!
Mio
No, they're just children. Let's make an exception for them, ok? Hurry
and run on home, children.
Nana
Well then, Saki, Mio, let's get going. We've wasted enough time with
these brats.
*** They walk inside.
Sue
What hoooorible people! What did they do that for anyway?! Oh well,
Justin, I there isn't much we can do now. We should go home now,
right?
Justin
Come on, Sue! An adventurer wouldn't give up so easily!
*** Try entering the ruins again.
Sue
Are you really going inside? I mean, you did hear what those three
said just a while ago, right?
Justin
Certainly, but their behavior revealed to me that there must be
something they're trying to keep secret down here. This might lead to
a great adventure!
Sue
Honestly, Justin... But you are right about this! I agree, let's go!
*** Go inside the ruins and spy on the gathering up ahead.
Leen
Alright, soldiers of the Garlysle Army. Stand at attention for Col.
Miuren. The investigation of the Saruto Ruins is about to commence.
Prepare for roll call. Squad commanders, please step up.
Nana
Lt. Nana, commander of the Bloody Rose Squad, reporting for duty.
Saki
Lightining Star Squad, all present and accounted for. Lt. Saki, squad
leader, reporting for duty.
Mio
Desert Moon commander, Lt. Mio, reporting for duty.
Leen
Investigation of the ruins will now commence. Prepare for an address
from Col. Miuren. All soldiers, please pay close attention.
Lieutenants
Yes, ma'am!
Myuren
Beloved soldiers of the Garlysle Army. We will now be conducting the
investigation of the Saruto Ruins. This is our final investigation so
we need to make sure that we find the final piece that we need. I'll
tell you right now that going through these ruins will be difficult.
There might be some of you who won't even make it out of here alive.
Nevertheless, this is our sworn duty. We have to ensure the success of
this mission, not only for the glory of the Garlysle Army, but for the
people as well! We will fulfill the great prophecy from God! Now go
forth, soldiers of the Garlysle Army, to unlock the gateways of the
ancient world! And Godspeed... to all of you.
Lieutenants
Yes sir~!
Leen
Bloody Rose Squad, your assignment is to search the Eastern section of
the ruins. The Lightning star squad will investigate the western
section. As for the Desert Moon Squad, your assignment will be the
southern sector. Squad leaders, you're now in charge. Please do a good
job!
Lieutenants
Yes, ma'am#%*
Leen
The time is now 15:06 military time. All units have been dispersed and
the investigation is underway.
Myuren
Hmm.... Good job, Lyn. You carry yourself very well.
Leen
H-huh? ...Thank you, Col. Miuren.
Myuren
Ha, ha. At any rate, let's get going, Lyn.
Leen
Yes, sir!
Sue
Did you hear all that, Justin?
Justin
Yeah, it sounds like something big is going on.
*** Go down to the 2nd floor, and go up some stairways to a large stone
face.
Soldier 1
This image looks interesting. Maybe we should report it to Cmdr.
Myuren.
Soldier 2
Hmm... that sounds like a good idea! Let's go!
Justin
Whew... that was close. They nearly found us.
*** Approach the image.
Justin
This is the image those soldiers were talking about a while ago, huh?
It looks pretty mysterious.
*** Something begins to glow.
Sue
J-Justin! What's happening to you?! Your rear is glowing!
Justin
It looks like it's coming from my pocket! It's the Spirit Stone! I've
never seen it do anything like this before!
Sue
Uh.. it looks like it must be pretty hot.
Justin
W-what the?! The image.... It was an entrance all along.... So what should
we do? Should we go inside?
Sue
I wonder why it opened all of a sudden? Was it because the Spirit
Stone was glowing?
Justin
That's it, Sue! There must be some connection between the Spirit Stone
and the ancient civilization here. Hey.. That means this stone is
authentic! Heh, heh, heh... Alright!! The soldiers in here don't even
know this place exists! We've made it here first!
Go inside. You'll make your way to an eye etched into a wall.
Justin
Wow.. I've never heard of anything like this being found in one of
these ruins... It's seems like it's alive.. I think we're on the
threshold of making a great discovery relating to the Enjule
civilization! Don't you think so, Sue?
Sue
J-Justin! The stone's glowing again!
Justin
Sue, I'm being summoned inside by Enjule!
*** Go inside.
Voice
Welcome, bearer of the Spirit Stone...
Justin
Uh... Sue, did you say something just now?
Sue
Nope! Not a word.
The light in the center of the room shines brightly.
Justin
Woah! Incredible!
*** Head toward the light^_^
Justin and Sue
Ahhh!!
Justin
W-what, what's happening!?
Riethe
Welcome, bearer of the Spirit Stone. Symbol of the ancient contract.
Justin
Who are you!?
Riethe
I am Riethe of Alent, entwined in the history of Enjule, I descend
from ages past.
Sue
Ahhhhhh! We're gonna fall! We're gonna fall!
Riethe
Don't be frightened. This our world, among the stars... Please let me
ask, why did you unlock the gateway to here?
Justin
Um, ah... well, I didn't really think about it. Oh yeah, how did you
know I was carrying the Spirit Stone back there anyway?
Riethe
Without it, you could not open the Enjulian gateway outside.
Justin
Enjule... so it isn't just a legend?
Riethe
Correct, it is real. The Spirit Stone you carry is evidence of a
contract made between humans and spirits.. Please watch this...
*** An FMV plays...
Narration
This is the world of Enjule. In this world, the winged Koyokujin
brought forth light, and the spirits gave the land their eternal
blessing. All of mankind was prosperous during this time, but
eventually humans began to wrestle for power and rule over their
brothers, corrupting the path of righteousness. The Koyokunin and
spirits are the only ones remaining that have not strayed from the
true path...
Riethe
That stone you carry used to belong to the Koyokujin.
Sue
Hey, Justin. This sounds awfully like the Legend of Enjule, don't you
think?
Justin
I was thinking the exact same thing, but exactly how is Enjule
connected to the myth? Um, it's Riethe, right? Tell me! Did all the
events in the myth really happen?
Riethe
........
Justin
Tell us, Riethe! Is it all true?
Riethe
.... Within this question there is but one answer... If you seek
answers, you must head toward Alent. Do you seek answers?
*** 2 Choices
1) Yeah, there a lot of things I want to know about this!
2) Ummmm... now how do I put this...
*** Choose 1
Riethe
If you want to know more, then you have to travel to a land far to the
east. Let me warn you, however, that finding Alent will require a lot
of time. It will definitely be a long and arduous journey. Follow the
path of righteousness and you shall surely never be led astray. Let
the Spirit Stone guide you, and make sure that you and the sacred soul
stone are as one. Always keep it near you. To Alent. Seeker of
answers, head toward Alent.
Justin
Eastern land...? Alento...? Does that mean that we'll have to cross the
sea and go to the new world, Elencia? Riethe! About Alento.... If we go
to the new continent, will we see you? I mean, will you and the
Koyokujin contact us? Wait, Riethe!
Riethe
Never forget... the radiance of the Spirit Stone will guide you... You
must go now. I, Riethe, will lie in eternal wait for your arrival...
Sue
Riethe... she's gone.
Justin
Ah...
Sue
Was it all just a dream? It seemed so real...
Justin
Oh... But we both saw it, right?
Sue
Justin! The stone's shining again! It's shining right now!
Justin
W-what? There it goes again!
Sue
Unbeeelievable! That's unbelievable, Justin!
Justin
Oh yeah, now I remember! The stone really is authentic! And things we
saw, they weren't just a dream; they were real! Riethe is real!
Justin
That's it! I've made up my mind! I'm going to Alent, and I'll meet the
Koyokujin! I'll find Enjule before you know it! And then... And
then... oh well, I'm going to Alent for sure! Yes! Only I can pull
this off! Justin the Adventurer! Alright! Let's do it!
*** Attempt to leave.
Myuren
......! Who are you!?
Justin
Ahh! Great, they found us!
Myuren
Children, in here!? But how... Leen, secure the exit.
Leen
Yes, Cmdr. Myuren.
Myuren
There are quite a few things I'd like to ask you about. Don't even
think of trying to escape.
Sue
Wh-wh-what should we do!? JUSTIIIIN!
Justin
I'll get us out of this somehow!
Myuren
Answer truthfully... or consider your life over.
Leen
Cmdr. Myuren, please don't do anything rash. They're only children.
Myuren
I am quite aware of that, but if they dare jest with me, it won't
matter whether they're children or not..
Sue
Th-thi-this guy... He's not joking Justin... I can tell!
Myuren
Now then, your name?
*** 3 Choices
1) My name? My name's Alexander.
2) My name's... Justin.
3) I have no name!
*** Choose 1
Myuren
Alexander, hmm....what a brave sounding name. But, this girl seemed to
be calling you by a different name, Justin perhaps?
*** Choose 2
Myuren
Hmm, hmm. I feel that you have answered obediently. A while ago I
heard this girl calling that name a number of times.
*** Choose 3
Myuren
Hmm, seems you're trying to hide your name from me... Don't think you
can fool me so easily... I heard this girl calling a name a while
ago... Justin?
*** All choices
Myuren
Resolve yourself to the truth, for if your antics try my patience... I
will not hesiate to kill this girl.
Leen
Cmdr. Myuren!
Myuren
This is my sworn duty. And I wouldn't hesitate to take the life of a
young boy or girl if I have to. Now then, did you open that entrance?
*** 3 Choices
1) It was open when we got here.
2) I don't know what gateway your talking about.
3) Well, I suppose I was the one who opened it.
*** Choose 1 or 2.

Ahh!!
Myuren
I thought I told you to reslove yourself to telling the truth... I've

If you don't want to die, answer this one with total obedience. What
did you see within these ruins?
*** Choose 3
Myuren
Is that so. Up to this point, even the best of adventurers have failed
in opening that entrance. Now, I will ask you one last question. What
did you see inside these ruins?
*** 3 Choices
1) I saw a mysterious but beautiful girl!
2) There was this strange looking room, but I didn't see anything in
there.
3) There was a strange light floating around and I saw an image of the
ancient civilization.

A mysterious girl...? It must Riethe of Alent? Riethe... so she's
real...

Myuren</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
You didn't see anything? You lie! I can see it on your face. It
doesn't seem like you're going to cooperate. Since I don't want to
waste my time... I'll simply kill you and try asking this girl.
Sue
Stop!! We met a girl and a strange light flew around!!
Myuren
I see that the girl is the wiser one. Be grateful to her. If it wasn't
for her, you would be dead now. Hmm... A light and a girl... the
girl... Riethe of Alent! The light, a spirit!
*** Choose 3
Myuren
A strange light...? A spirit, perhaps... The image...? Possibly an
image of the early Enjule civilization. Hmm... Yes, I see... You have
the soul of an adventurer within you, young lad.
*** All choices
Leen
Cmdr. Myuren...what do you intend to do with these two? Certainly we
can't just leave them here.
Myuren
Don't worry, Leen. Since knowledge of this operation needs to be
guarded with the utmost secrecy, we'll draft these two into the
military intelligence division so they won't reveal any information
concerning this.
Sue
Whaaaat!? You're taking us with you? I thought you would let us go
home...
Myuren
Little girl, I know it sounds unreasonable, but you've broken the law.
You can't return now.
Sue
What!? You lie; we didn't do anything wrong! Then I'm going to be in
the army for the rest of my life!? NO!!! No, No, No....
Justin
Don't worry, Sue! Somehow, we can get by them! As long as we're
together, we can do anything!
Myuren
Ha... but even if you can escape from this room, you'll never leave
Saruto! Ha, ha, ha! So what do you intend to do...? How are you going
to get past me?
Sue
Ohhhhhhh!! Justin...uhh...over there, over there...
Justin
Heh, heh. I see... Well! Time to sink or swim!! Sue, let's go!
Sue
Yeah! Around and around we go!
Myuren
What the-!?
Justin
Yes! Let's go, Sue!!
Myuren
My minion will be ready for you...! You won't leave Saruto alive!
*** Try to escape.
Sue
L-look! Justin!! What is that?!
*** After battling the Rockbird.
Justin
What the heck was that doing here? It wasn't here when we entered the
first time!
Sue
I bet that Myuren creep had something to do with it!
Justin
Oh well, it really doesn't matter now. Let's get out of here.
Myuren
Unbelieveable....they already defeated the Rockbird... Haaaaaa, ha,
ha, ha, ha!
Leen
Com... Commander Myuren?!
Myuren
Those two!! To think! They outwitted ME?!
Leen
Cmdr. Myuren...? Uh.. should we pursue them?
Myuren
The small amount of information they possess about Alent will not
affect our plan. We'll just overlook this incident... What was that
youngster's name?
Leen
I think it was Justin...
Myuren
Justin...what a pleasent fellow. I haven't had such laughed like this
in ages! Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Justin
Yess! We made it!! He, he, he... it really wasn't a dream. I'm finally
going on a great adventure!
Sue
Wait a second! We still have to get away from here, right? C'mon,
let's go back to Parm now.

Sue
Hey, hey, Justin. I think it's nice that you want to meet Liette and
all but... do you know just exactly how you're going to get to the new
continent?
Justin
Of course I do! We'll have to get onboard a ship.
Sue
And just exactly how are you going to get on a ship?

Eep... uh... that's uh.... I'll just ask Mom! I bet she'll know!

Justin
Hey, hey mom! Do you know the best way to get on one of those ships
that go to the new world?
Lily
Hmm... let's see... Well, I used to have my own ship so I never had to
deal with that.
Sue
Lilly the Skull had a pirate ship!
Lily
Oh well, if you want to get on one of those ships, I guess you'll
have to ask around over at the harbor.
Justin
Hey, that's right! Alright, Sue. We're going to drop by the harbor
tomorrow.
Lily
By the way Justin, it looks like you've got more mud on yourself
than usual. Where have you been playing at?
Justin
I wasn't playing mom. The curator gave me a letter to get into the
Saruto Ruins so I could conduct scientific research!
Lily
Gurgh... HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!!! You were doing scientific research, you
say? HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!!! That's funny.
Justin
What's so funny? Mmm... does she comprehend the importance of
scientific research?
*** Select Lily again.
Lily
Oh yeah, the curator said a lot of nice things about you. He said
you were a very enthusiastic young boy.
Justin
Oh really... heh, heh. I wonder if that means he's forgiven me for
breaking that image...wah! Oops!
Lily
HEY, JUSTIN!!! You know that I don't want to hear about stuff like
that! Now just exactly what did you do now? Oh well, I guess there's
really nothing much we can do about you. I'll just talk to the
curator tomorrow. Now do you understand why I always scold you when
you enter the kitchen without my permission?
*** Select Sue.
Sue
You know I'm really curious. The new continent is called Erenshia,
right? When compared to the continent Palm is on, Meshina, which one
is bigger?
Lily
Oh yeah, huh? That's a good question. Well, they say that there's
nothing beyond the World's End...
Justin
Hey, hey, I know about that! Isn't the World's End supposedly where
the physical world as we know it ends? I have a hard time believing
that the world suddenly ends somewhere.
*** Select Sue again.
Sue
Hey, Justin. What kind of place do you think the World's End is?
Justin
I'm sure we'll understand better once we see it. Anyway, let's make
sure that we drop by the harbor tomorrow.
*** Select Justin.
Justin
Mmm, that was delicious!
Sue
Well, if we're gonna go to the new continent, we'll have to do our
best to find a way there tomorrow, Justin.
THE NEXT DAY
Sue
Good morning, Justin!
*** Go to the harbor and speak to the burly sailor..
Sailor
*gulp* The punishment for breaking the Law of the Ocean is being
tossed into the sea... Well, I guess my friends who are trying to
stowaway on a ship to the Elencia without a pass deserve it..
Justin
A ship pass...? What! You mean, you can't go to the new continent
without some sort of passport?
Sailor
You didn't know that, kid? Unless, you're a soldier or something,
the only way that you can board a ship is with a ship pass.
Justin
Hey, hey, so do you know how to get one? I'd really like to go see
the new continent too.
Sailor
Is that so? Well, I guess the fastest way to get a pass is to get it
from someone who already has one. Now that you mention it, I think I
saw an old pass at the tavern. Some old man was showing it to
someone while telling him about his adventures. I think his name was
Jin.
Justin
Great, a fellow adventurer! I bet he'll help us out. He was at the
tavern in North Parm, right?
Go to the tavern. It's the place where you helped Tentz find Gantz's
key.
Lady
Arg... I hate my life... Always working... Not a single vacation for
me... *grumble* *grumble*
Justin
Hey, hey, we're looking for this adventurer. Can we go inside so we
can talk to him?
Lady
What are you talking about? You're still kids! Anyway, I'm really
busy right now. Honestly, that fellow... it looks like he was in such
a hurry to leave that he accidently to took the keys with him!
Justin
Hmm... so some guy accidentally left with the tavern keys, huh? We'll
find him for you!
Lady
You're offering to help me? Well then, bring me the keys and I'll
make an exception for you guys. How about if I let you in tonight,
does that sound good? Now I swear... that kid! He's probably at the
Seagull Cafe or the harbor.
*** Go to the harbor and look for a guy in a blue hat.
Guy
Aaah.... Man, I've got to wash dishes today. The pay's okay, but it's
really tiring. Plus, it ruins the hands.
Sue
Ah, Justin! This is that guy that the tavern lady was talking about!
Justin
Yep, there's no mistake about it! Hey, are you that guy who has the
keys to the tavern?
Guy
Huh? "Keys" you say? AAAH! I still have the keys in my pocket! Hey,
can I ask you guys a favor? Can you please tell Mama that I'm just
resting for a bit?
*** Received tavern keys
Justin
"Mama?" Oh, you mean the tavern lady? Sure! Just leave it to us!
*** Go back to the tavern....
Justin
Hey, lady, lady! We found it! This is it, right?
*** Handed tavern keys over
Lady
You're right! This is it! Now I can open the tavern! Thanks for all
your trouble! We're gonna have this really good jellyfish sake
today. I'm sure that the guests will be very pleased.
Justin
That's just great, lady. Now about your promise....
Lady
I know, I know. Okay, I still have to set the tavern up. Come back
later, okay?

Baal
So Miuren, have you still not turned anything up so far? You really
have kept me waiting.
Myuren
My deepest apologies father. It's just that I encountered an
unexpected annoyance...
Baal
No need for explanations. What I do need to know is if you have
found the item.
Myuren
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to meet your expectations, father. I am
prepared to face any punishment for our failure.
Baal
.... Ha, ha, ha.... Punishment you say? If you couldn't do the task,
then I don't think that anyone else could... Now you will prepare
immediently for our next operation. Get ready to depart!
*** Baal departs.
Leen
I wonder what Shogun Baal is in such a hurry for? Didn't he say
that the plan was still going on as scheduled?
Myuren
My father has his own ideas about this plan... You should not
question them.
Leen
I'm sorry.... My behavior was unacceptable.
Myuren
No... it's alright. Don't worry about it, Leen.
Leen
Ah... yes, sir.
Myuren
In the end, we weren't able to acquire anything from the Saruto
Ruins.... Well, that's not totally true... now that I think about it....
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Leen
C-Commander Myuren!
Myuren
That boy was actually quite amusing.... Justin, was it?
Leen
Um... you know, Col. Miuren. It is quite unusual for you to be
laughing like that.
Myuren
That little incident underground has put me in high spirits. It
actually helped alleviate what normally would have been a tedious
task. At any rate, it's time for us to depart, Leen. Our
destination, the new world, Elencia!
BACK IN PARM
Sue
Hey, Justin. I wonder what kind of adventurer Jin is? I can't wait
to find out!
*** Go to the tavern.
Justin
Here it is! Here it is! This is my first time in here so I'm really
excited!
Sue
It's okay! It's okay! Nobody's gonna get mad so just go ahead and
enter.
Barkeep
Oh, hey there! You're the ones who helped with the keys a while ago
right? Thanks! I want to give you something to express my gratitude.
Justin
Aha, ha, ha... uh oh. But, well, I didn't think that you were going to
be the one to thank us, Rulia.
Rulia
Quit it, Justin! You brought me the keys remember?
Justin
Eh?! You're that old lady from this afternoon?!
Sue
You mean you didn't know, Justin? Women can use magic to change
their appearance.
Rulia
Me, use magic? Ha, ha, ha! That's funny Sue. Anyway, it looks like
Jin isn't here today. You might just want to talk to some of the
guests. See that man in the corner over there? He's always listening
to Jin's stories. Go over and ask him about old Jin.
*** Talk to the man in the corner.
Man
Jin, huh? That self proclaimed, "great adventurer" that waddles down
here from the abandoned mines on Mt. Reck, right?
Justin
"Self proclaimed", huh? That doesn't sound too good... Anyway, I
think that's the right guy. Tell me more about him.
Man
Hmm... Well, he said that when he was young he was the greatest
adventurer in Mecina, but since there are so few job opporitunites
for adventurers now, all does is sit in this bar all day talking
about the "good ole' days" to all the drunkards in here, and when
he's not in the bar he stays secluded in the old abandoned Reck
Mines.
Sue
Hmm... I didn't think anyone lived in the Reck Mines.
*** Try to leave.
Sue
Uh oh, Pooy accidently gobbled up some peanuts. Now we've got to
apologize to Rulia.
Pooy
Puu, pu, puu...
*** Talk to Rulia.
Rulia
So Pooy gobbled down some peanuts, did he?
Justin
I think he regrets it, so perhaps you could overlook this tiny
thing?
Rulia
No... I can't overlook this, but perhaps if you did me a little
favor... You see, when that Jin fellow came in here last time, he
accidently left his wallet. I'd like someone to deliver it back to
him...
Justin
No problem! We're heading up there anyway. We'll need take a train.
Hmm... I know there's one that heads up to Mt. Reck from the train
station in Parm. Leave it all to me!Rulia
Oh yeah, Jin left his wallet in the tavern. Are you planning on
going to Reck Mines?
Pooy
Puu! Puuu! Pu, pu, pu, puu!
Sue
Got it Pooey! Hey, Justin. Pooey's getting really hungry. Let's go
home.
*** Return to the Seagull Cafe.
Lily
Hey, Justin! BONK!
Justin
Oww! W-What was that for, Mom! I didn't track in any mud today!
Lily
And just what time do you think it is? You got me worried being out
this late! Oh well, since you made it back safely, I guess it's
okay. Get ready for dinner then.
Justin and Sue
Yeah!!
AT DINNER
Sue
I hope that we get a pass after we visit Jin tomorrow, right Justin?
Justin
He must be a great adventurer. I can't wait to meet him.
*** Select Sue.
Sue
You know, this Jin person must be pretty scatterbrained, since he
forgot he about his wallet.
Justin
... Yeah, even I wouldn't forget that.
Sue
How can you remember that and always forget to feed Pooy? Isn't that
right, Pooy?
Pooy
Puu! Puu!
*** Select Lily.
Lily
So you're going to Reck Mines to see Jin, huh? Well, I can tell you
not to go because it's dangerous but that probably won't stop
you--you being an adventurer and all. But since you won't be going
alone, promise me that you'll protect Sue, okay? This is your
responsibility!
Justin
Of course! Don't forget that I'm an adventurer!
*** Select Justin.
Sue
We're going to the Reck Mines tommorow so that we can meet Jin.
Don't forget, Justin!
THE NEXT DAY
Sue
Good morning, Justin! Let's get going!
*** Go to the train station in Parm and talk to the man inside.
Man
Oh hello, Justin! Do you want me to let you have another look inside
the train?
Justin
No, today I want to go to the Reck Mines, so I can return this
wallet to some guy named Jin.
Man
Is that so... So he lost that, huh...? Well, the tickets are on me.
You can ride free today!
Sue
Really!? Thank you very much, mister!

ARRIVAL AT RECK MT.
Man
Alright, you two, take care of yourselves out there!
Justin
Got it! Thanks!
Sue
Thank you, elderly man!
Man
So I'm an elderly man already? Ha, ha, ha... I just don't understand kids these
days...
*** Enter Jin's house.
Justin
Huh? There's nobody here. It looks like he just left the house without even
bothering to lock it. Well I guess there's really nothing we can do about it now.
I'll just put the wallet here.
Jin
Hey! Who the hell are you guys!!! What do you think you're doing just barging into
my house without permission! Why you little thieves!!! Get your filthy hands offa'
my wallet!!!
Justin
Huh!? No, no, you've got it all wrong! See, we're searching for a pass to...
Sue
Don't tell him about that, Jusitn! He won't understand! Tell him about the wallet!
The wallet!
Jin
Fwa-ha-ha-ha! You youngins can't fool me! There's not a single chink in my armor;
I'm ready for anything you've got! Ah! An idea! Maybe I can reform you! Yea, I'll
lead you away from the dark side!
Sue
Justin, is this guy really Jin? He sure doesn't look like an adventurer to me.
Jin
Hey, you little runt! I WAS an adventurer-- the key word here being WAS! You
fellas, on the other hand, are still actively adventuring I believe.
Sue
Wha, how did you know that?
Justin
Oh yeah, I nearly forgot! We've come here to ask for your help...
*** After Justin tells his story...
Justin
So that's why we're here.
Jin
O-ho! Came here for a pass to the new world, have ya? Well let me ask you
something, why do you want to go to Elencia?
Justin
I'm going to travel to eastern Elencia and discover Enjule!
Jin
What the- Enjule!? Hah, hah, hah! That's rich! Ee, hee, hee, hee!
Justin
What's your problem!? It's no laughing matter! I'm serious!
Jin
Oh? Ah, *HACK*! Sorry, sorry... It's just that, well... Enjule...
Justin
It DOES exist! I know!
Jin
Hmm... I think I can understand your story. I guess I should give you a pass...
Justin
Really!? Thanks!
Jin
Gyaah, I'm not through!! I can't just give it to you for nothing! Ahem, if thou
surmount the test I have put before thee, I will bestow upon thee what ye desire!
Now then, that's how adventurers are supposed to do things!!!
Justin
Ow! My ears! W-well... ok, I'm ready for this test!
Sue
That's the spirit, Justin!
Jin
Yeah, kid, you've got to keep your spunk! Ah, *HACK*! Now then, let's get started!
Follow me to the mines, and remember, no wimpering will be tolerated!
AT THE ENTRANCE
Jin
This is the entrance to the Reck Mines. A bunch of ancient monsters have taken up
residence in here, and their groaning and growlings sounds are keeping me up at
night. I want you to exterminate the leader of the monsters. If you do it, I'll
give you a pass. And thusly, I have bestowed a great test upon thee!
Sue
Yikes, that place is dark and creepy looking.
Jin
Ah, *HACK*! Of course it is! Well then, are you going to just run home now?
Justin
Are you kidding!? We're headin' in! You wait here, Jin!
Jin
Hmm... I wonder if I should let them go in. I'm not sure if they can handle it...
Ah yes, well, are you heading in right now or are you going to rest first?
*** 3 Choices
1) Let me at them!
2) No, we'll go inside in a little while.
3) %%Save%%
*** Defeat the boss within the mines.
Sue
We did it, Justin! Jin is certain to give us a pass now... W-what's going on!?
Justin
Ah! If we stick around here, we'll be buried! Let's get outta' here!
*** Leave the boss's chamber.
Jin
What are you doing!? Over here... Get over here!
Sue
Oh! It's Jin!
Jin
Don't just stand there like an idiot! Come on! The mine's collapsing!
*** After the escape.
Jin
You alright? Remember a world-class adventurer never gives up! You panicked under
pressure and failed in noticing the escape route. You're hopeless!
Sue
Huh? You mean we failed? But we tried our very hardest!
Jin
Let me teach you something important; a true adventurer doesn't lose hope no
matter what the circumstances! You must remember this lesson in Elencia!
Furthermore, you must always try to maintain your devotion and...
Justin
Huh!? Jin, does that mean...
Jin
You two show great potential. Ah, and even if this turns out to be a wild goose
chase you can always lie, eh? Here you go, the pass to the new world, Elencia.
Take it, Justin.
Justin
Alright! Now we can go to Elencia!
Sue
Yay...! Um, cool! Hee, hee... Huh!? Am I imagining things or does something
smell... odd?
Jin
Oh that's me. I'm so excited and happy I'm just soaking in sweat, blood, tears,
and various other things I don't quite understand! E-hee-hee!
Justin
Eeeh!
Sue
Eek!
Jin
Alright, Justin, remember, you have wings, but those wings are for you alone.
Justin
Wings... for me alone...
Jin
But don't forget, during the hardest of times, an adventurer can't just depend on
a pass. You have to trust your heart. That's because an adventurer's heart is his
greatest strength. Now go forth! And just promise me one thing, Justin! I want you
to return and tell me of places that I've never seen. I'll be waiting here for
you!
Justin
I promise you, Jin! Well then, let's get going.
Sue
Thanks Jin! Wow, this is really great, Justin! Now let's go home. We can't be
late!
Justin
Uh, Jin.. there's something I'd like to ask you...
Jin
It's about the little one, isn't it? Well there's only one thing I can say, you
must walk this path alone, Justin... Got it?
Sue
What's the matter, Justin? Hurry up! Come on, let's go home!
Justin
Alright, alright... Thanks for the pass, Jin! It really means a lot to me.
Jin
Bye, Jin! Take care of yourself, okay?

BACK AT THE TRAIN STATION
Sue
What's wrong, Justin? You've been keeping to yourself ever since we left Reck
Mines.
Justin
R-Really? Don't worry, it's nothing.
Sue
Hey, I wonder what kind of place the new continent is? I betcha' it's fun and
interesting!
*** They move outside.
Sue
Wow! I can't believe we're both really going on an adventure! I'm sure everybody's
going to be surprised. If we both leave though, Aunt Lily's going to be really
sad.
Justin
Sue, please don't tell my mom anything about this.
Sue
Huh? What do you mean? I don't understand....
Justin
Jin said that from this point on, it's not fun and games anymore. You'll have to
stay here, Sue.
Sue
What are you saying, Justin? Didn't we both promise that no matter what happens,
we'll always stick together?
Justin
I've already made up my mind. I can't take a kid along with me!
Sue
... ... ...!
Justin
The ship will be leaving tomorrow. I'm planning on leaving early so it's okay if
you don't see me off.
Sue
I'm not a kid.... I'm not a kid! What's going on, Justin! You wouldn't even have
gotten that ship pass if I didn't help you out!
Justin
Sue....
Sue
I don't know you! You can go ahead and die for all I care!!!
*** Sue runs away.
Justin
I promise, Sue. Once I've become an adventurer, I'll come back. Then we can both
go on an adventure together. What the-?
*** Sue comes back to give Justin a little bit of love...
Sue
Justin!!! You rotten traitor!!! BAM!!!!!!!!!!
Justin
OWWWW!!!
*** Head toward the Seagull Cafe.
Gantz
Hey, Justin! Just what the heck did you do now? I just saw Sue run by crying!
Justin
Gantz.... It was nothing... really....
Gantz
O-ho! So you had an argument, huh? I guess I'm going to be Sue's wife after all!
Justin
Please take good care of Sue.
Gantz
H-hey now... what's wrong with you Justin? You're starting to creep me out! I'd
normally expect you to give me a challenge after I say something like that. Hmmm...
now I get it....
*** Talk to Lily.
Lily
Welcome home, Justin. Dinner's ready. I prepared your favorate dish today!
*** 3 Choices
1) I'm... I'm going to look around town some more...
2) I'm ready to eat...
3) %%Save%%
*** Choose 1.
Lily
What's wrong Justin? Your usual response is an ectstatic "My favorate!? ALRIGHT!!"
Ah... it looks like Sue isn't with you. Did you make her upset again, Justin? Oh
well, I don't know what you guys argued about, but I'm sure that you're old enough
to realize your mistakes. Alright then, let's go eat.
*** AT DINNER
*** Select Lily.
Lily
You know, it's been awhile since we just ate by ourselves. I guess this isn't too
bad. Still, I'm kind of sad that Sue's not here. Hopefully, she'll be back
tomorrow.
Justin
Don't worry, mom. Starting tomorrow, Sue's gonna be here everyday.... I'm sure....
*** Select Lily again.
Justin
Oh, oh, this is just delicious! I don't think I've ever tasted anything so good
since the day I was born!
Lily
A-ha-ha-ha! What an exaggeration! I've been cooking this for you the same way for
years. Although, my cooking is one of my b points.
Justin
Err, well... but today it's especially delicous! Yeah, it's special today!
Lily
Uh huh... Boy, you're a strange child... Just when I thought I had you figured
out...
*** Select Lily.
Justin
Oh yeah, I nearly forgot. Mom, where are you storing all our photographs?
Lily
Photographs...? Oh, I think I put them in the drawer over there.
Justin
You put the one you took on my birthday over there too, right? The really
cool-looking one where I'm brandishing a sword!
Lily
I think so... but why ask all of the sudden?
*** Select Lily
Lily
Oh, by the way, the ship's leaving tomorrow. Are you going to see it?
Justin
Wha-wha-wha... *Gulp!* Why did you bring that up so suddenly?
Lily
Right now, you're just a kid, but when you get older, you'll start going on your
own adventures....
Justin
... ... ....
Lily
Hey, Justin. Do you want to sleep next to mommy tonight? It'll be just like when
you were a kid!
Justin
What are you talking about, mom? I'm not a kid anymore! And I certainly can't
sleep there tonight!
Lily
Ha-ha-ha! Calm down, Justin! Don't you think you're being a little harsh? Ah... that
was funny... you made me laugh so hard I started to cry...
Justin
M-mom... I... actually tomorrow I....
Lily
... I'm going to bed now, Justin. I'll just listen to what you have to say
tomorrow....
Justin
Oh.... alright... Good night, mom...
Lily
Hurry up and go to bed, okay?
*** THE NEXT MORNING
Justin
Hmm... time for me to get ready. I guess I won't be seeing this room for a while.
Okay, I'm off!
*** Go downstairs.
Justin
I'm sorry father... sorry that I didn't tell mom that I was leaving. It's just that
I want to go the new continent so I can be just like you and grandfather. I want
to have all kinds of adventures and travel around the world. I'm finally going to
be an adventurer... just like you... and it's all thanks to this stone you gave me!
Thanks to it, I now know that the ancient civilization of Enjule is in Elencia. I
wonder if you felt this way at the dawn of your adventures... I wonder if I can
ever be like you... You were so strong and brave.. A true adventurer... Wow, this
sure isn't like me, huh? Hey dad, I'm going to hang my picture right here so
everyone can see it. I'll be back to tell everyone about my adventures. Goodbye,
mom! (Nails picture). Well then, I'm off.
*** Go near the museum and talk to the curator.
Curator
Morning, Justin! My, you're up early! Having another contest with Gantz?
Justin
There's something I need to apologize to you about, Mr. Curator... I broke that
Koyokujin image... I'm very sorry!
Curator
So it was you, Justin? Well, since you were so honest about it, I forgive you!
Now, why are up so early today?
Justin
He, he, well I'm boarding the early ship to New Parm today! I'm going alone...
*** Talk to the curator again.
Curator
That's rather sudden... If I was the average person I'd probably try to stop you
here, but, well, when I was young I disobeyed my parents a lot too. It was because
of my burning desire to become a great scholar!
Justin
Wow! You really mean you made your parents angry too?
Curator
Ha, ha, ha! Doesn't everyone?
*** Talk to the curator.
Curator
So it's New Parm you going to, eh? I'd like to give you 2 bits of advice... Do the
things you enjoy doing, and write to your mom all the time.
Justin
The first one's easy. I'll be adventuring! But it might be difficult to send a
letter from the places I'll be adventuring in...
*** Talk to the curator.
Curator
Take care, Justin! I believe in you!
Justin
Thank you, Mr. Curator!
PARM HARBOR
*** Talk to the soldier outside the gate.
Soldier
You again?! How many times have I told you that only ship passengers and guests
are allowed in here?
Justin
Hey, I have a ship pass right here, see? It's authentic too.
Soldier
Hmm... this one looks really old. It has a weird smell to it too. Well then, once
you go through this gate, you can't go back out. Do you understand?
*** 2 Choices
1) W-wait just a second!
2) Of course! Now open the gate.
*** Choose 2
Soldier
I see.... You take care now, okay kid? Remember kid, don't drink any unclean-looking
water. It'll ruin your stomach.
Justin
He, he, he... thanks sir. Don't worry about me. I'm no ordinary kid, I'm an
adventurer.
*** After walking inside aways.
Soldier
Well, it looks like all the passengers for this voyage are already here. I guess
I'll be going over to the Sea Gull Café to have breakfast.
*** Try to go inside the ship.
Sailor
Hey there kid, hold on a second!
Justin
Oh great! It looks like Jin's pass is too old.
Sailor
What's that sticking out of your pocket? Leave your stuff sticking out like that
and it's bound to get stolen!
Justin
Huh? Oh, thanks. I wonder if I should open it now. Eh? It's a letter.
Sailor
Hey, your slowing us down. Keep blocking the way like that and you're gonna be
thrown overboard!
Justin
You've got to be kidding! Okay, okay, I'm moving out of the way! (Opens letter)
It's a letter... from mom.
To Adventurer's Guild President, Mr. Gauss.
>From Skull Lily
Do NOT read JUSTIN!!!
There's this kid who has always been of no help to his parents whatsoever and does
nothing else every single day but play around, pretending that he's an adventurer.
He always comes home with cuts and bruises no matter how many times I hit him
upside the head. This bad kid is my son.
I still remember how much he cried, the day he realized that he'll never see his
father again. Ever since that day, he's always wanted to be an adventurer. Anyway,
this adventurer's name is Justin. He's a little bit too kind sometimes and is also
very absent-minded. However, he has now finally started walking on his own two
feet. He is really determined to work hard to follow his dream but he still can't
do any manual labor. That's why I'm begging you to please take care of him. This
kid is my son, Mr. Gauss. Please help him fulfill his dream.
Justin
Mom... she knew all along.
Hey Justin! Knowing you, you're probably reading this letter without my
permission! I've always expected you to eventually mature even just a little bit
but it doesn't look like you've changed a bit. Make sure that you take care of
your body. You're dad used to always say,"An adventurer's greatest asset is to
have a healthy body." And one last thing... wherever you may go, always keep on
thinking about your dream. Have a safe trip, Justin.
Sailor
Hey! What the heck are you doing?! You're the only one that we're waiting for! Get
in! Get in!
Justin
Thank you, mother.... Well, I'll be on my way.

AFTER BOARDING
Justin
Now, let's have a look around this ship.
*** Go inside room in center of nearby building, talk to the captain.
Captain
Ah, welcome aboard! Anything I can do for you?
Justin
He, he. No, I don't think so. Boy, this is a really cool ship!
Captain
Ha, ha, ha! Thanks.
*** After exploring the ship for a while, attempt to return to the
deck.
Pooy
Puu, puu...
Justin
W-what's Pooy doing here!? No, it can't be...
ON DECK
Sue
Geez, guys! Just exactly how many times do you want me to keep
repeating the same thing over and over!? I'm supposed to be here
with Justin!
Justin
I knew it! It's Sue!
*** Talk to Sue.
Sue
...oh! There you are Justin!
Justin
Sue! What are you doing!?
Sue
With you gone, Parm's going to be so boring! That's why I decided
to go with you on your journey. Besides, can you really do without
me?
*** Talk to the Captain.
Captain
You're Justin? You've perpetrated a truly heinous deed, and at such
a young age no less... But since ancient times, we've dealt with
stowaways by casting them overboard. Why, it's the Law of the
Ocean!
Justin
Please forgive her! She's just a kid! I'll take care of her...
Captain
It's no good! If we don't abide by the Law of the Ocean, we'll all
be cursed by the spirits! Okay men, up with this barrel! We're
tossing it into the sea!
Justin
Aaah!!! Hey, wait a sec!!
*** Talk to Sue.
Sue
They shouldn't be so stingy! I know they can afford to let one more
person on board! Come on, tell them that Justin!
Justin
They just won't listen... Sue, you've really done it this time!
*** Talk to the Captain.
Justin
Casting a little girl like her out to sea is just too much! You've
gotta' figure out a way to save her from this fate!
Captain
Actually, there may be a way... I heard from the little one that
you're going to become an adventurer. Is that right?
Justin
Ah yep, that's right! I'll be the greatest adventurer in the world!
Sue
Me too! Me too!
Captain
Hmm... Adventurers tend to be very similar to sailors, so the
sprits might not curse us... Hmm... Oh, I've got it! You'll become
part of the crew!
Justin
Huh?
Captain
Yes, if you're passengers, you're stowaways, but if you're
shipmates, you certainly wouldn't be. Well then, how about it? Will
you work for us until we reach the new world? That way, you can
save this little girl
*** 2 Choices
1) Is that so? Well, I don't know if I can trust you.
2) Ok. I guess we're shipmates then.
*** Choose 2
Captain
That settles it then. From this point on, you're an apprentice
sailor, alright?
Justin
Got it!
Sue
Well, as long as I'm with Justin, I don't mind being a crew member!
Captain
... Alright then, you there! Take these fellows to the crewmen's
quarters.
Sailor
Aye aye, Captain!
Captain
Get plenty of rest, you two. From tommorrow onward, you'll be
working hard.
2ND DAY
Voice
Justin, Justin!
Sue
Morning, Justin. Did you sleep well?
Justin
Yaaawn! No, I couldn't sleep at all. The snoring of the other
sailors kept me awake...
Sue
Well, I'm also sleeeeepy... That bed was so hard and wet, and it
felt simply horrible! And, what's more...
Sailor
Huh!? Attention, new recruits!! Quit sleeping the day away and get
ready to work!!
Justin
Welp, shall we go?
*** Talk to the sailor near your bed.
Sailor
Now listen up, new recruits! You used to be passengers, but now
your apprentice sailors! And don't you forget it!
Justin
Got it!
Sue
Okayee!
Sailor
Alright, you two have been assigned to the deck. You'll get the
details of your work up there. Oh yeah, and take this with you.
*** You receive the key to the private cabins.
Sailor
Now then, if the passengers want anything you'd better serve them
properly, got it? Alright, now get yourselves up to the deck!
*** Talk to the man in the purple hat on the deck.
Officer
Ah, so you're the new apprentices, Justin and Sue. I see you came
before I had to come get you. I like that. Ok, you may have already
been told this, but all the newcomers on the ship are assigned to
swabbing the deck. Now let's get right down to business, I want you
to wax and polish this entire deck. Let me know when you're ready
to begin.
*** Talk to the officer again.
Officer
Ready? Before we begin, are sure you know how to do this type of
work?
*** 2 Choices
1) No, tell me how it's done.
2) Yeah, I know. I'm ready to start.
*** Choose 1
Officer
Power and speed are important in swabbing the deck. To begin
swabbing press the "c" button. While you're holding the "c" button,
your power and speed will increase. But be careful not to hold down
for too long, or your power meter will become too high, and you'll
get exhausted. The trick to it is to properly pace yourself. Also
remember that you might get award if you do well, so try not to do
a shoddy job.
*** Choose 2 and attempt the minigame, this is the officer's response
if you take over 70 seconds.
Man
Hey, hey!! Just what do you think you're doing taking your time
like that!? And to think, you're supposed to be some adventurer! If
you do this poorly tomorrow, you're fired, and I'll personally toss
both of you into the ocean! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?
Justin
Hey, it was our first try. We'll do much better from now on!
*** Talk to the officer again.
Officer
Today's work is finished, you can go back to your rooms and get
some sleep. Unless of course you want to get some more practice
swabbing the deck?
*** 2 Choices
1) Uh, I think I'll have to take a rain check on that.
2) I can take it!
*** Choose 2
Officer
Ho ho! What dedication! Then have another go at it!
*** Go back to your quarters and talk to the sailor again
Sailor
Looks like you're finished. Ha, ha! I can tell by the tired look on
your face. Now you can relax and get some sleep.
3RD DAY
Sue
... Ow, ow, ow! Owww! I'm aching all over!
Justin
It's just some muscular pain, Sue! Don't worry, you'll get used to
it! Since you're in pain, I'll try to handle most of the work
today.
Sue
Thanks, Justin!
*** Return to the deck and talk to the officer.
Officer
Ready? Let's get started. You do remember how to do this work, don'
t you?
*** 2 Choices
1) Umm, I forgot.
2) Let's go.
*** Choose 2, this is his response if you finish the game around 55
seconds.
Man
Alright, looks as though we're through for today. Try to do it a
little faster tomorrow.
Justin
Ugh, we have to do this every single day until we reach New Parm?
Erggh... and it's all your fault, Sue!
Sue
Hey! You know this never would have happened if you didn't try to
leave me behind!
*** Attempt to return to your quarters.
Man
Ok, let's see here... I polished the lens up, and the light has
been delievered safely...
Justin
Hey, hey, what's that for!? What a huge light!
Man
You don't know? Well, it's used to signal adventurers on shore. We
use something like this all the time! You know, another passenger
will be boarding soon, and, well... We've got to let the fellow
know we're coming.
Sue
...Someone's boarding!? Out here in the middle of the ocean?!
Man
That's right! I bet you'll be surprised when you hear this. The
passenger happens to be the greatest adventurer in New Parm.
Justin
Wow, an adventurer!?
Man
This fellow's boarding early tomorrow morning, so don't sleep in!
Justin
This is unbelievable! The greatest adventurer in New Parm...
THAT NIGHT
Justin
Hey Sue! What do you think the greatest adventurer in New Parm will
be like? Well he's a great adventurer, so I bet he's a huge man
with a beard and rippling muscles!
Sue
Mmurmr, mmmum... Yes, yes, surely, and he'll have 5 armmms, mmurmr,
murmm...
Justin
Hey! You're half asleep... Anyway, when I do meet this adventurer,
I wonder what I'll ask him? Maybe I should find out how he gets by
dangerous traps, or ask him what the weak points of ferocious
monsters are... He, he, I don't think I'm gonna get any sleep
tonight!
THE 4TH DAY
Voice
... Justin! Jusitn!! You'll be sorry if you don't get up soon! Hey,
Justin, wake up!
Justin
Ooh, mmm, just... just 10 more seconds...
Sue
Whaaat are you talking about, Justin!? You're not supposed to sleep
late because that adventurer is coming!
Justin
.......!
*** Runs to the stairs.
Justin
Hey, what are you doing, Sue!? If you don't hurry up, I'll leave
without you!
Sue
... Huh? Well, at least he's awake now.
*** Go upstairs.
Sailor
... Ya, yaa! How's this? Oh yeah!
Sue
Hey, what do you think he's doing?
Justin
How weird! He looks like an idiot!
Justin
Hey you! What're you doing?
Sailor
Oh, this...? This a hip way for sailors and adventurers to greet
each other. You'll do it when you're older.
Justin
Hey, is that so? Then I'd better master it now.
*** They practice it.
Sailor
No, no, no! Like this!
Justin
L-like this? Yeah, this is cool!
Sue
Boy... They just look like idiots.
Sailor
Yeh! You've got good form, kid!
*** Go to the very end of the deck. (note: speech segment translation
pending)
Feena
Hey! Who are you two? I haven't seen you before.
Justin
Err, ahem, I, I'm Justi...
Sue
Wow! A girl!? The greatest adventurer in the new world is a girl!
Coool! Hey, she's also beautiful. Don't you think so, Justin?!
Feena
He, he. Thank you. Captain, could you introduce these two to me?
Captain
Yes, yes, this is the first time you've met. These fellows are
apprentice sailors. This one is Justin... and here's Sue.
Feena
Hmm... I'm Feena, pleased to meet you!
Sue
Hey, hey, Justin! Raise your hand and do that special greeting!
Justin
Ok! It's a good thing I was just practicting.
*** Starts flailing his arm.
Justin
I'm... Justin!! Please to meet you!
Feena
...!
*** Shakes his hand.
Feena
Aha, ha, ha, don't you know? This real adventurers and sailors use
to greet each other. Well, yes, for right now let's
han-nnd-shay-kk! When you're promoted, we'll high five.
Captain
...Well, shall we go, Feena? Justin, you know what they say about
idle hands...
Feena
Good luck with your work, you two. Then... let's go, Captain.
Justin
Man! I wish people would treat me like I was just another person,
instead of a little kid...
Sue
But wasn't that cool!? I want to be just like her.
Justin
The greatest adventurer in the new world, huh...? She certainly was
cute...
THE 5TH DAY
Sue
Ohhh, how boring! Yet another day of swabbing the deck!
Justin
Hey, what are you talking about, Sue!? It's better than being cast
out into the ocean, isn't it!? That's all thanks to me, you know!?
Sue
... Huh!? It's clean? Who did this for us?
Voice
Hey you! You're late! You're late!
Feena
You'll never be real sailors if you oversleep like that! Oh well,
morning, Justin and Sue! Looks to be another hot day today.
Justin
Hey, you remember our names? I thought you weren't even paying
attention to us...
Feena</pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
Well, the memory of great adventurers is legendary! Anyway, I just
thought we could talk and clean this deck together... but you never
came. You know, you've got a long ways to go before you become a
real sailor.
Justin
Hey, that's pretty harsh... Anyway, I'm an adventurer not a sailor!
Feena
Adventurer, huh? The captain said you were apprentice sailors.
Justin
Oh, well I'm hiding my identity right now! There is a very
important reason behind it. You see, Sue...
Sue
What do you think you're doing!? Hey, you're gonna get me tossed
overboard!
Feena
Tossed?
Sue
Yeah, yeah, listen, Feena! Justin was really mean to me and...
*** Later
Justin
... and that's what happened. See, wasn't that a spectacular
adventure?
Sue
See!? Now do you understand why I said Justin was so mean?
Feena
Ah, ha, ha! Well, I can see that you're really good friends! Ha,
ha, ha... that's funny! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time!
Sue
Ok, ok, Feena, tell us your story! I'm sure we're not the only ones
with a clever story!
Feena
Hmm, right... So what should I talk about?
*** 3 Choices
1) What type of adventures do you go on?
2) Boy, I'd like to have some adventures in the new world...
3) Feena, do you live in New Parm?
*** Choose 1
Feena
Hmm, I guess I can't tell you all about that in one sitting. Since,
it's still several days before we reach New Parm, I'll tell you a
little about my adventures everyday!
Justin
Ugh, that means we're going to be swabbing the decks for a long
time... Shoot! Being an apprentice is such a pain!
Feena
Aha, ha, ha! Oh, it won't be so bad! I'll help you! It'll be fun!
Sue
Wow! Thanks, Feena!
*** Choose 2
Feena
So, you want to be the greatest adventurer in the world, huh?
Sue
We're going to the adventurers' society in New Parm. Have you
joined it, Feena?
Feena
Ye... yes... Of course I've joined.
Feena
.... That's right... We'll should go adventuring together, it would
be lots of fun!
*** Choose 3
Feena
Where I live? Yeah, it's right near New Parm. It's a nice place,
and I live there by myself.
Sue
By yourself? That's great! Isn't that wonderful, Justin?
Feena
My parents died a long time ago. I used to live with my older
sister, but... now we live seperately.
*** After choosing all 3 choices...
Feena
.... The wind... all of the seagulls suddenly... I... I'm going to
talk to the captain right now. You should go back to your sleeping
quarters. Bye!
Justin
Hmm, she was laughing just a second ago, and then she suddenly
became so grave and serious... I wonder what happened?
Sue
Hey, look! There's not a single seagull in the sky anymore!
Justin
That's right... Somehow I have a feeling that something exciting is
about to happen! Let's go check it out!
*** Go inside the captain's room...
Feena
... Captain! The winds have changed, the ocean has become
turbulent, and strange clouds are beginning to form.....
Captain
This is terrible. We must act quickly. We should begin gathering
the crew together right away...
Feena
Somehow... I have a terrible feeling about all this.
Justin
Feena, what's going on!?
Feena
Nothing. Now don't worry about a thing, you two. Please, just go
back to the crew quarters and relax, ok?
Sue
Justin, let's go back to our room. It looks like they're doing
something important.
Feena
Captain, we must do all we can to change directions. Quickly,
summon the crew together!
Captain
... But, Feena... you don't suppose it's that ghost ship that's
rumored to exist? Perhaps that's what your terrible feeling is
about.
Feena
Now bring that up again! The ghost ship is nothing but a ridiculous
superstition!
Justin
Hey, a ghost ship!? Tell me more!
Feena
Justin, did you hear me? I thought I told you to go to your
quarters and rest.
Justin
Hey, do you think you can boss me around?
Feena
Justin, this isn't some childish game. Be a good boy and do as I
say.
Sailor
Ms. Feena... It's... it's horrible! Come to the deck right away!!
Justin and Feena
!
Feena
Captain, I'm going to try to calmly inform the crew of this, and
order them to mobilize. The passengers are probably getting
nervous....
Captain
Nooo, this can't be happening!! If this is the real ghost ship,
we're doomed, doomed I tell you!!
Sue
Justin, come on, let's go back to our room...
Justin
We can't go back! Seems like a great adventure is brewing. Let's
head to the deck!
*** Head to the deck.
Sue
Justin, wait up!!
Justin
Unbelievable! It is the real ghost ship! Simply unbelievable!
Sue
Wow...... Uh, I have a feeling we should leave now..
Justin
Yeah, we're heading in! My true adventures shall begin with the
total extermination of the ghost ship!
Voice
How pitiful! Are there any real sailors on this ship?!
Sue
Oh, that's Feena's voice!
Sue
Over here, Justin!
*** Go over there.
Feena
Now one thing is clear... If we don't do anything about this
mysterious vessel, we'll never arrive in Elencia alive! Why, the
lives of the passengers are at stake! Men, show me your true
sailing spirit! Captain, their orders please?
Captain
... It's no good, no good! We're already doomed! The ghost ship has
appeared, and now we're all gonna die!!
Feena
It's nothing but a ruined ship! The ghost ship is merely a
superstition. Now, rally your crew!
Captain
But, but... when that ship appeared... the engine stopped...
Feena
Snap out of it!! If you can't control yourself, you're nothing but
a bushel of spineless seaweed!
Crew
Bu-but Feeenaaa.... what can we do? I mean, we're facing the ghost
ship here.. and aren't we just sailors? And if our ship can't move,
what can we really do...?
Feena
Don't say such pathetic things!! Are you not men of the sea....!?
*** No response
Feena
Well, looks like I'll have to solve the riddle of this ship myself.
Now then! Who will accompany me in the task of exploring this
ship:? Are there no valorous men among you?
*** Talk to Feena
Justin
Don't worry, Feena! We'll go with you!
Feena
Justin...
*** Resumes speaking to the crew.
Feena
So everyone, these children are the only displaying any valor! Are
there any heroes among you that will come with me?!
Justin
Hey! I said I'd go with you! I'm going to exterminate that ghost
ship!
Feena
Exteriminate a ghost ship!? What a ridiculous idea! A real
adventurer wouldn't believe in ghosts, and you certainly aren't a
real adventurer.
*** To the crew.
Feena
Justin is going to calmly and obediently wait aboard this ship.
*** 3 Choices
1) Well, if I don't go, who's going with you!?
2) I'm worried about you, Feena.
3. Rather clever of you to obtain such a monopoly on all the
adventures on this ship.
*** Choose 1
Justin
If I don't go, who's going with you!? Besides this an adventure,
and I'm an adventurer!
Feena
But do you really understand this situation? I don't even if know
if you'll be of any use to me! You'll proably just slow me down...
I'm sure of it!
*** Choose 2
Justin
I'm worried about you, Feena. I can't just let a little girl go off
into that frightening ship...
Feena
.... A little girl!? How rude! Why, I'm a professional adventurer,
and an amateur adventurer like yourself need not worry about me! I
can take care of myself!
*** Choose 3
Justin
So, we finally get the chance to do something exciting on this
ship, and you try to keep the fun all to yourself!
Feena
Justin, stop thinking like such a simpleton! Adventuring is not a
game. You could be killed. And furthermore, thinking of it in that
way reveals your total lack of experience!
Justin
That's it! I'll just take care of this myself!
Sue
Huh!? B-but...
Feena
Well... this is troubling...
Sailor
Feena, as per your orders, I've prepared a way for you to cross
over into the ghost ship.
Feena
In that case, there's no time to lose... Oh alright, Justin, you
can come with me! But promise me you'll return to the ship if you
find you can't handle this, alright?
Justin
Alright! I promise!
Feena
Then let's get going !

The Investigation
AFTER BOARDING THE GHOST SHIP
Justin
This is cool! I can't believe we're on a real ghost ship.
Feena
How many times do I have to say it!? Ghost ships aren't real!
Justin
Oh, come on! I know you've never seen anything like this!
Sue
Uh, Justin, how are we going to get down from here?
Justin
How? Why, like this!
Justin leaps down.
Feena
Errg, that boy...
Sue
Justin, wait for us!
*** Sue and Feena jump down.
Justin
Ooh... Heh, heh! Boy, I'm excited!
Feena
Calm down! You're not concentrating!
Justin
Sorry, sorry. But my adventuring blood stirs, and I can't help it.
Heh, heh.
*** Go near the circular hole in the ship.
Feena
Looks like we can jump down to the lower part of the ship from here...
I'll go first, then you follow.
*** They all jump down.
Sue
Hey, it's pitch black in here. I can't see a thing.
Feena
Ok, you both made it.. Stay alert, and watch your step.
Justin
No need to tell me. I'm a world-class adventurer, I'm always prepared!
What's this...? Feels strange...
Feena
Ahh! Justin, you pervert! (slap!)
Justin
Ahhhhhhowwwww!!!
Feena
Ugh! Justin, stop goofing around!
Justin
Hey! So, I'm just following behind, minding my own business... and you
then suddenly stop moving! How am I at fault!? Where was I goofing
around!?
Feena
Justin, you weirdo, don't you know?! Oh, forget it. Let's move on
Sue
Justin, you naughty boy!
*** Walk around the corner into a room, walk through that room until you
reach a hole in the floor.
Feena
We can jump down to a lower area of the ship from here too.
*** Jump down, walk to a rope, and climb up. Then, walk up steps to some
meat.
Feena
Justin, look out!
Feena
Justin, are you alright? Were you injured?
Sue
Wow, Feena! That was cool! Boy, Justin seems so incompetent compared
to you.
Justin
Hey! So I was a little unprepared for that, no big deal!
*** Solve the lever puzzle, go through the next room, go upstairs, and,
finally, go near the shut door closest to the stairs.
Justin
This door is locked... Hmm... I can't open it.
Feena
Hey, let me try... There! It's open.
Sue
Wow, Feena can do anything!
*** Go to other shut door.
Feena
Stay alert! I've got another bad feeling... A feeling like an animal
is stalking us.
Justin
But, Feena, this is a ghost ship! Why would animals be here?
Feena
Justin... I know there's one near here.
Justin
Huh? Right near here...? You're not talking about me are you!?
Feena
Justin... unless you start paying closer attention to what's going on,
you're life will be in perpetual danger.
*** Go inside and look at the book on the desk.
Justin
Uh, what's this?
Feena
.... it looks like the ship's log. Perhaps this could help understand
what happened to this ship. I think I'll read through some of it. "Our
ship was suddenly snatched by a giant tenticle, and then, before we
knew it, we were drawn into a battle to the death. Unless we defeat
this accursed monster, we will never see the sight of land again." ...
Then it ends.
Sue
A "monster"? I wonder what it's like...
Feena
Shh! Quiet... I sense something! Get ready!
*** A monster appears.
Feena
Watch out!! It's the monster!
*** After killing the octopus beast...
Justin
So this ship was attacked by that monster...?
Feena
Yes, that must be it... That beast probably devoured all the people
aboard this ship...
Justin
Woah, woah, woah! What's happening?!
Feena
Oh no! The ship is sinking! Justin, we've got to get out of here! If
the ship capsizes, we're done for!
*** Go to the upper deck.
Sue
Wha-what should we do!? The water is already up here..
Feena
We're alright! Just leave everything to me. World-class adventurers
are always prepared with an escape plan.
*** Feena brings down a rope.
Feena
Now hurry! Climb up this rope!
BACK ON BOARD THE FERRY BOAT.
Sailors
... Hurrah, hurrah! You're back! We were so worried about you!
Justin
No need to worry. Why, that ship was a lot easier than swabbing the
deck!
Sailor
Wow, really!? Oh yeah, the ship should start moving again soon.
Engineers are working to repair the engine as we speak.
Justin
Really? That's great! So I guess that squid stopped the ship, huh?
What an awful beast.
Feena
Well, didn't I tell you? It wasn't ghosts at all, right, Captain?
Captain
Right again, Feena! Now we're back on course to Elencia, safe and
sound. I'm greatly indebted to you...
Feena
Captain! I had help you know! You must thank Justin and Sue too! Only
our combined strength could destroy that horrible ship.
Captain
Is that so? Well... I guess I didn't really think you two fellows had
what it takes...
Feena
Well, to be honest with you... I didn't think so either... but you did
great! For your first adventure, I give you a 100 out of 100, perfect
score!
Feena
You're pretty cool, Justin.
Justin
Eh, hehe... well it wasn't... somehow, I feel so awkward...
Sue
Hey, Justin! Why's your face all red?
Pooy
Puu, puu!
Justin
Huh, what're you talking about, Sue!?
Sue
Aha, ha, ha!
*** Back to the crew quarters. Talk to the sailor near your bed.
Sailor
You two did a great deed today! I have a totally different opinion of
you guys now! Why, you weren't just boasting when you said you were an
adventurer, were you? Anyway, you probably want to just get to bed
now. The ship is safe now, thanks to you, so you can sleep without
worry.
*** 3 Choices
1) I want to stay up and talk with the passengers a little more.
2) I'm going to bed now.
3) %%%Data Save%%%%

Sailor
Really? Well don't overexert yourselves. Sleeping is one of the most
enjoyable parts of this job, you know?
*** Choose 2
Sailor
Well, have a nice night. You'll resume swabbing the deck tomorrow.
Sue
Whaaat? Back to swabbing the deck? I thought we were the saviors of
this ship!
Sailor
Well, you are, but you're apprentice sailors too, and apprentice
sailors have to swab the deck. Alright, now to bed with you!
THE NEXT DAY
Sue
Justiiiin, good morning... *sigh* Let's goooo swab the deck...
*** Head toward the deck.
Officer
... Hmm? Justin, Sue, did you come to swab the deck? I'm very sorry
about this, but... you've been fired! No more swabbing the deck for
you two...
Justin
F-fired? Why?
Sue
No! How could you?! We've been so dilligent in doing our work!
Officer
Aha, ha, ha, ha! Don't be so upset! Now listen to me. We've arrived in
the new world, Elencia! This voyage is finally over!
Justin
Really!?
Officer
Aha, ha, ha! Well go up and see for yourself!
Don't just stand there! Go up!
Sue
Justin, what is it?
Justin
I can see it! Over there!!
Sue
Oh!? Wait up, Justin!
*** They run to the end of the ship.
Sue
Wow! It's huge, just think of all the adventures we could have in a
place that big!
Pooy
Puu, puuu!
Sue
Don't worry, Pooy, I'm sure this continent has food on it! Uh, Justin,
are you awake?
Justin
The new world... We finally made it..
Feena
Morning, Justin, Sue!
Sue
Oh, hi Feena!
Feena
Hm... it's been a long time..
*** Looks at Justin and Sue.
Feena
... I see, this must be the first time you've seen the new world...
Well, a big welcome to the both of you! Welcome to New Parm! Welcome
to the land of your hopes and dreams, Elencia!
Justin
Land of... hopes and dreams...
Feena
... That's right, your dreams will surely come true here, Justin..!
Sue
Hey, Justin! We've gotta get ready to get off the ship!
Feena
Tell me when you're ready to disembark! We'll go together!
*** Talk to the captain.
Captain
Justin, Sue... you two gave it your best on this ship. You were hard
working sailors, and were great adventurers as well. Now try to keep
this up in the new world!
Justin
Aye, Captain! I'll try my best!
Sue
As long as we don't get cast into the sea, I think we're okay.
*** Talk to the captain again.
Captain
And Sue, you do know that if you hadn't stowed away, Justin could have
stayed a passenger for the entire voyage, don't you?
Sue
Yes, I understand!
Justin
Yeah, but it all turned out ok. I had a good experience.
Sue
I guess it was a good idea to sneak on board after all!
*** Talk to Feena again.
Feena
So, are you two ready?
*** 2 Choices
1) Sorry! There are still people left I have to say goodbye to.
2) Oh, of course!
*** Choose 1
Feena
He, he... That's just like you to make so many friends in such a short
span of time!

Justin
Yeah! Yahoo!
Sue
Yay! We're the first ones off! Wow! So we really made it all the
way to the new world by ourselves!
Justin
Yeah! And now I can finally begin my great adventure!
Pooy
Pupuu! Puupuu!
Feena
Aha, ha, ha. You two certainly are excited about all this... So,
Justin, what do you plan to do now that you're here?
Justin
Well, first of all, I'm going to the adventurers' society here. My
mom gave me a letter so that I can get in.
Feena
Really? The adventurers' society, huh? Now how can I put this... I
guess this where we part ways.
Sue
Huh!? Feena, you're not coming with us?
Feena
I'm sorry. I can't. I'm leaving New Parm for my house at the end of
the Meril mountain trail. If you'd like, you could come visit me
there!
Justin
Oh! We'll go as soon we check out New Parm!
Sue
Bye, Feena!
Feena
Ah, wait!!
Justin
W-what's wrong, Feena?
Feena
Eheh, heh, heh. I almost forgot something important. Now Justin,
raise your hand.
Justin
Wha!? Why...?
Feena
Don't worry! Just raise it! Come on, hurry up!!
*** Justin raises his hand.
Feena
Hmm... let's see here... Like this...? Yes, that's it!
*** They do a high-five.
Justin
Feena...!
Sue
Hey, it's that special adventurer greeting! Great work, Justin!
Feena
He, he... I think you have what it takes to be an adventurer,
Justin. I'd like to adventure with you again sometime! Then,
farewell for now! May the spirits protect you during your great
adventures!
*** Go inside the building (adventurers' society information desk) in
the harbor area. Talk to the man behind the desk.
Clerk
Yawn... mmm, I'm so sleepy today... I wonder if I'd get paid if I
slept all day..? Huh? What's your business here?
Justin
What's my business? I just came here to become an adventurer.
Clerk
Oh boy... Well you have to follow the standard procedure. Go to the
plaza in the center of town, our main office is there.. Yawn.
CENTRAL NEW PARM
*** Go to the adventurers' society in the center of town (it's heavily
decorated) Talk to woman at desk.
Receptionist
Welcome, come on in! What kind of adventure do you wish to go on?
We here at the adventurers' society are prepared to send you on an
adventure that will satisfy your demanding standards!
Justin
Prepared an adventure? I don't quite understand what you mean...
Oh, I see! We want to go to Alent! The center of the Enjule
civilization!
Receptionist
Alent of the Enjule civilization? I'm afraid we don't have a tour
to Alent prepared. There is a ruin of Enjule to the far south of
here...
Justin
Really!? Well, maybe I'll find a way to Alent if I go there! So how
do I get there?
Receptionist
I'm very sorry but, a tour to Domu would be dangerous, and we don't
handle dangerous tours for our customer's sake.
Justin
You won't go if it's dangerous... An adventure isn't an adventure
unless it's dangerous!
*** Talk to her again.
Receptionist
Perhaps you'd like to become an adventurer...? Well, why didn't you
say so? To become a member of the adventurers' society you have to
get the chairman's permission. He's in the room behind me.
Justin
If I become a member, will someone help me get to Domu?
Receptionist
Why, nobody travels to Domu, but we will give you a map of the new
world if you become an adventurer, so you can get there yourself.
*** Try to go in the room behind her.
Voice
If you want to enter the chairman's room, tell me the password! You
can't enter unless you get it righty-o, oh, oh!
Justin
The password!?
*** Talk to the receptionist again.
Receptionist
Oh yes, oh yes... If someone asks you the password say, "I'm the
servant of the great Pakon, oh!" Got it?
Justin
The great Pakon...? My mom's letter was addressed to someone named
Gaus...
Receptionist
The chairman's room is over there, ok? The meaning of that password
is a private matter.
*** Try to go in the room again.
Voice
If you want to enter the chairman's room, tell me the password! You
can't enter unless you get it righty-o, oh, oh!
*** 3 Choices
1) The great Pakon is the most handsome guy in town, oh!
2) I'm the servant of the great Pakon, oh!
3) We all yearn for the great Pakon, oh!
*** Choose 1 or 3
Voice
Hoo, hoooo! That's true, that's true! But I'm afraid it's not the
password, so you can't enter-o, oh, oh!
*** Choose 2
Voice
Bingo! Feel free to enter-o, oh, ohhhhh!
*** Talk to man behind desk.
Pakon
I'm the Pakon, the chairman of the adventurers' society-o, oh, oh!
What's your business here?
Justin
Ehh!! You're the chairman!? Now way! I was certain the chairman was
named Gaus!
Pakon
My father, Gaus, died a long, long time ago. I'm the chairman
now-o, oh, oh, oh!
Justin
Hmm... So that explains it...
Sue
Justin, just tell him you want to join the society!
Justin
Hmm... Well, if Gaus is dead, I guess I have no choice. I have to
ask this dweeb... Alright, we want to join the society. What do we
have to do?
Pakon
We have the adventurers we can handle right now-o, oh, oh. You're
out of luck unless you can convince one of the other adventurer's
to hand over his adventuring pass-o, oh, oh.
Justin
Now wait just a second! Look at this, you! This is letter from my
mom introducing me to Gaus! My father was an adventurer too. He
knew your father...
Pakon
Hehh, hehh... So that's it... heh? You think you can get an
adventuring pass that easily, heh? Well I'm the one who decides
whether you get a pass or not-o, oh, oh! How 'bout if I just toss
this little scrap of paper away...? What do ya think of that?
*** Talk to him again.
Pakon
This little scrap of paper is a new pass I made after becoming
chairman-o, oh, oh! Nice, huh?
Justin
What, what is that!? Feena's picture is on the front, and there's
something pink...
Sue
Yes, I can see that!
Pakon
Feena looks so cute on the front-o, oh, oh! Feena is the best
adventurer here... I'm engaged to her-o, oh, oh! We'll make such a
cute couple, and we'll be married very soon-o, oh, oh!
Justin
Is that true!? How could Feena marry a weirdo like you!?
Pakon
H-h-how could you say such a rude thing!? Now I'll never let you
enter the society-o, oh, oh...
*** Talk to him again.
Pakon
Hey, don't forget that you're my servant, you cheeky boy.
Justin
What do you mean, your servant!? I don't remember being made your
servant!
Pakon
No, no, when you entered here you said it-o, oh, oh! You said "I'm
the servant of the great Pakon, oh!"
Justin
Uh, I guess I did...
*** Talk to him again.
Pakon
I'll never let a rude guy like you enter the adventurers'
society-o, oh, oh. So get out of here-o, oh, oh.
Justin
Hmmph, then I guess I'll take my leave now! I don't need to enter
this ridiculous society! I can handle this on my own!
*** Leave the room.
Justin
Geez, I didn't know the chairman was such a freak... I wonder if
Feena is actually engaged to that guy? What do you think, Sue?
Sue
Hmm... well it's difficult to say... Feena sure has bad taste if
she's engaged. Well, we really have no way of knowing one way or
the other right now... Anyway, why don't we go visit Feena's house?
She'll surely lend us a map. Remember, Feena's house is outside
Parm at the end of the Meril mountain trail, right? Let's go!
*** Leave town and travel through the Meril road to Feena's house...

A Conversation with Feena
INSIDE FEENA'S HOUSE
Justin
Wow, is this Feena's house? It sure seems well made... I wonder if
she built herself?
Sue
Cool! All the furniture looks like it was hand-made by her. Hey, why
don't we have look around?
*** Look at the um... pantaloons.
Sue
Ohhh! Look, look, Justin! Doesn't that look cuuute! I want a pair!
Justin
Sue, you mustn't touch that. I think Feena will be upset... W-what
is that!? It's her p-panties!!
*** You took Feena's panties!
Voice
Hey! Justin, Sue, thanks for coming over!
*** She steps in.
Feena
I'm glad to see you. Boy, you sure got here quickly...
Justin
Huh!? No, no, no, you're mistaken! That, this... Argh! Sue!?
Sue
Hello, Feena!
Feena
...Justin? What is that you're holding...? Eeee! Justin!! What are
you doing!? Those are mine!
*** Feena's panties were taken away from you.
Feena
Why! I should have known... scattering all my things around...
Justin
N-no, Feena it's not that...
Sue
What's wrong, you two? Your faces are so red.
Feena
Those were sort of dirty... W-well! Aren't you two hungry? Let's
eat!
*** After eating.
Justin
Ahh... that was great! I'm actually sort of surprised that you're so
skilled at cooking.
Sue
This mint tea is soooo delicous! Feena, you know how do everything!
Justin
But, Feena, you live out here by yourself, right? Don't you ever get
lonely?
Feena
Yes, I do... But if you stayed here with me I probably wouldn't be
lonely...
*** 2 Choices
1) I-I can't do that. I have adventures to go on...
2) R-really? Well then I guess I'll do that...
*** Choose 1 or 2
Feena
Aha, ha, ha, ha! It was a joke! A joke! Did you think I was serious,
Justin?
Justin
Wha-what? A joke? Well I guess I wasn't really sure about it...
*** Feena says this only if you choose 2...
Feena
He, he... Still, I'm glad you said that...
*** The following occurs if you chose 1 or 2...
Feena
Well, anyway, did you come here to talk to me about something? So
what is it, Justin?
*** 3 Choices
1) Can you lend us a map of the new world?
2) Are you engaged to the chairman of the adventurers' society?
3) Will you adventure with us?
*** Choose 1
Justin
We want to go to the Domu Ruins, so can you lend us your map of the
new world?
Feena
Hey, you didn't join the adventurers' society? If you become a
member, they'll give you a map.
Justin
I gave up trying to join! Those jerks over there aren't even
adventurers! They're nothing but tour guides! Especially the
chairman! What was wrong with him!? How did a klutz like him become
chairman, anyway!?
Sue
But Feena's different! She's a real adventurer.
Feena
Umm, I'm in bind here... According to the society's rules, you can't
hand over a map to someone who isn't an adventurer. So... if I lent
you this map, I wouldn't be able to get work as an adventurer... Is
that all you wanted to ask me, Justin?
*** Choose 2
Justin
Now how do I put this..? The chairman of the adventurers' society,
Pakon... he was saying something strange... Something about you two
being engaged...
Feena
Stop! To think we're engaged... Pakon's just spreading a rumor!!
That Pakon... no matter how many times I refuse him, he just won't
listen. I can't stand it anymore! I went home as soon we got off the
boat, because I didn't want to see him. I really wanted to show you
around town.
Sue
Aha, so that's it! I thought that was strange. Isn't that a relief,
Justin?
Feena
So, Justin, is that all you wanted to ask me?
*** Choose 3
Justin
Feena, will you adventure with us? We're going to find the legendary
Enjule!
Feena
Didn't you say something about that when you were talking about
Saruto... in Mecina? Isn't it cool how the ruins of the ancient
civilization seem to be alive?
Sue
They really are alive, Feena! A girl named Riethe said so! She said
we should go to Alent!
Feena
Huh, so that really happened?! So, Justin's Spirit Stone is real!? I
thought for certain that was just something Justin dreamed up...
Wow, that's unbelievable! That's a great discovery!
Justin
In any case, I'm sure many of the secrets of Enjule are hiding in
Domu as well! Let's journey there together, Feena!
Feena
Thank you for inviting me, Justin. But.... I can't. It's against the
rules of the adventurers' society to go on an adventure without
permission.
Justin
What?! Feena! You talk about nothing but rules, rules! How can there
be times when an adventurer isn't allowed to adventure out into the
world!?
Feena
Justin, stop acting as though a pro is the same thing as an amateur.
I always obey the rules precisely. It's my way of doing things.
Adventures who break the rules have their pass invalidated and are
banished from the society. Do you understand, Justin? How horrible
it is for an adventurer to be unable to adventure? So, for me, this
pass..
Justin
No I don't understand! You can't adventure with a pass, and even if
you do have one, you have to be constantly subject to the society's
approval of where you adventure! If that really is the case, you
can't call yourself an adventurer at all! Adventurers are like the
wind! Adventurers have to follow their own path, Feena!
Feena
.......
Justin
Why are you so quiet, Feena? Feena, you're not like those fools at
the society, right? Right!?
Feena
T-that is...
Sue
What's that music?
Voice
.....Feena my loooove! I've come to see you-o, oh, oh, ohhhhhh!
Sue
"Oh, oh, oh"...? Justin! That voice...!
Feena
W-wait here, Justin. I'll go outside and see what's going on.
Voice
Ahhhhhh!
Sue
Justin! That's Feena's voice!!
Justin
Huh? Where's Feena?
Sue
Justin! Over there!!
Feena
Leave this place, Pakon! This the 2nd time I've told you never to
come here!
Pakon
Tonight is the night our 2 hearts will become entwined forever-o,
oh, oh! We'll be married, and we can wash each others pants-o, oh,
oh!
Feena
Wash your own pants! Haven't I already told you I have no desire to
marry you!?
Pakon
I can understand that you feel awkward about this-o, oh, oh. But i
know you really love me-o, oh, oh! Plus, if you won't marry me, I'll
invalidate your adventuring pass-o, oh, oh, ohhhhhh! And then you
won't be able to go an adventures, will you-o, oh, oh!?
Feena
Pakon...! That has nothing to do with this!
Justin
Hey, Pakon! You slug! Don't you see that Feena despises you!?
Pakon
Why were you in Feena's house-o, oh, oh? Just who are you?
Justin
W-what? That... Mmm.. I'm her friend... right?
Feena
No! You're.. you're my fiancee!
Sue
What?!
Justin
Huh? H-hey... Feena!?
Feena
Shhh! Just play along. Maybe if Pakon believes us, he'll give up
trying to marry me.
*** To Pakon.
Feena
I love him, Pakon. He proposed to me 1 year ago... but we weren't
able to be married.
Justin
T-that's right, that's right! Keep your hands off my woman!
Feena
I'm sorry I kept this a secret from you, Pakon, but I'm sure you'll
find someone else, and she'll be just right for you.
Pakon
....I feel sorry for you, Feena. This man has tricked you into
loving him... But I will save you-o, oh, oh! In fact I brought my
bodyguard along just in case something like this happened-o, oh, oh.
....Mr. Chan! Come on over here!
Chan
Hiyaaa!
*** He knocks Justin out.
Voice
Justin!
Justin
Mmph... Huh? I'm here...?
Sue
Yay, Justin! You're awake!
Justin
I see... That guy named Chan must of knocked me out....!! Sue! What
happened to Feena!?
Sue
Those guys forced her to go with them. They were saying something
about a wedding ceremony. Hey, Justin... what should we do?
Justin
I've know what I must do, Sue! I'm going to rescue Feena, and teach
Pakon a lesson he won't soon forget!!
Sue
I thought you would say that! Let's head to New Parm!

Girl
Ohhhh... I want to see Feena's weddingdress~! Now, if only I had an
invitation~! Hmm...I wonder if I should sneak in from the storehouse
behind the Church...
Sue
Huh? From the storehouse?!
Girl
Um, yeah. There's a hidden passageway inside there. But it's really
dangerous. He, he,I don't think I could make it.
*** Go to the storehouse and jump into the hole within. Find your way
through the sewer dungeon and walkup a stair of boxes to a doorway.
Justin
Alright! Looks like this is where wemake our entrance!
*** They enter.
Sue
Look, Justin!
Justin
Yikes! Looks like they've already started!
Minister
Yaaawn... Do you Pakon take Feena to be your lawfully wedded wife... Do
you promise to love her in sickness... and in health..., and tobe
faithful to her until death does you part..?
Pakon
Yes, yes, yessss! I promise-o, oh, oh,ohhhhh!!
Feena
Mmmm, mmmm, mnghmgh.
Minister
Good... And now if any person can show just cause why this couple
should not be united, let them speak now or forever hold their peace...
Feena
MM! MMNGG!
Justin
What on earth are you doing?! Father, can't you see that this is
unjust!
Minister
Uh... finally... you may now kiss the bride and be forever united in
holy matrimony...
Justinand Sue
He's gonna kiss her!?
Feena
NGGG! NGGGGG!
Pakon
Feena... I'm going to kiss you now. Here I come. Pucker up.
Feena
MMMU!! MMMU!!
Pakon
It's alright-o, oh, oh.. I'll kiss you gently. Oh, but it will be hard
to restrain myself-o, oh, oh!
Justin
Crap! Pakon, you slime! If you don't stop right there, I'll...
Sue
Justin, we've got to get down from here! Hurry!
Justin
Let's go, Sue!
*** The leap down.
Justin
Get away from her! If one drop of your saliva touches her, I'll kill
you!
Pakon
Oh? Oh, oh!?
Feena
Bffgn!
Justin
Let Feena go, Pakon! I'm ending this wedding ceremony right here!!
Sue
That's right! A wedding is supposed tobe a girl's dream come true! We
simply won't allowthis!!
Pakon
Uh-hyuk-yuk-yuk-yuk-yuk! You will not obstruct this ceremony-o, oh, oh!
Dr. Chan! Comeon in!
*** Zooms out.
Pakon
Dr. Chan is here for just such an occasion-o, oh, oh!!
Justin
So you've returned! You won't get the better of me this time!
Chan
.................... Kill!
Pakon
Waaaah, waaaah! What have you done-o,oh, ohhhhh!? You've spoiled my
wedding!!
Justin
It was spoiled from the start! What a wedding! You tried to force Feena
to marry you!
Pakon
So what-o, oh, ohhhhh! I, the great chariman of the adventurers'
society, ordered this marriage to take place! Or perhaps you'd prefer
to turn in your adventuring pass, Feena?
Feena
........
Pakon
I'll forgive you, Feena-o, oh, oh. Come to me, my sweet-o, oh, ohhh!
Justin
Feena! Come with us! Let's get out of here!
*** She moves toward Pakon.
Justin
Feena!!
Pakon
Hah, you have to come to me-o, oh, oh.If you don't have a pass you
can't go adventuringat all.
Feena
Pakon, I'm returning this pass. I don't need it anymore.
Pakon
What, what are saying-o, oh, oh?
Feena
... I finally recalled something, adventurers are supposed to be free
like the wind.
Justin
Feena...!
Feena
... How could I forget. Long ago I chosemy own destiny like the wind
and clouds. I choseto be an adventurer... Noone decides where thewind
blows. An adventurer's heart is not controlled by a pass. Farewell.
From now on I amlike the wind. I choose my own path.
Pakon
Waaaah, Feeeena!!
Feena
Thank you! Justin, Sue, you rescued me!
Sue
And... now you're not a member of thesociety, right?
Feena
Yeah and I feel great. Let's go home,together!
Feena
Ahhh!
Justin
Wha!? What's going on!?
People
Hooray, hooray!! Congratulations on thewedding! Oh, oh, look, look!
There so young! Howcute, they're so embarrassed. Oh they make aperfect
couple! I'm so envious! Man, I wish I hadbride that pretty... heh!?
Where's Pakon?! Whatdid you do to him!?
Justin
H-huh!? Well I...
People
Hey you there! What a rude thing to say ! This is a wedding, you're
supposed to be happy! So be happy already! .. Well, I guess you're
right. Alright ! Congratuuuuuuuulaaaaaations!
Sue
Yeah, yeah, you're such a cuuuutecouple!
Pooy
Puu, puu, puu!
Justin
Ha, ha, ha. Well, now we're in a bind...What should we do, Feena?
Feena
I wonder... Well... let's just go back to my house! This is too
embarrassing!
FEENA'SHOUSE
Feena
That was strange. They all thought we had gotten married. What a
celebration!
Sue
Justin's face looked funny! You couldsee in his eyes that he was
completely shocked!
Justin
Hey, that's a little a harsh...
Feenaand Sue
A-ha, ha, ha!
Feena
Well then! I bet you two are tired. Make yourself at home and get some
rest. I've finally cleaned up this tent. Until now there all sortsof
things just lying around... Since I sometimeskeep a lost lamb in my
bed; and sometimes there's a heavy storm, and the tent is nearly blown
away.I'm often away here for several days while I'm adventuring. I'm
always glad to arrive in thiswarm, cozy tent after a tiring
adventure... So Justin what do you usually think about on thenight
before you begin a big adventure? Are you sometimes scared during the
night?
Justin
Huh? Why would I be scared? I'm always so excited I can't sleep a wink!
Well, I guess I do ocassionally feel a little uneasy too.
Feena
I... used to think that the only real adventures were the ones the
adventurers' society sent me on... Isn't that strange? There were
adventures long before the adventurers' society was created... I want
to adventure with you,but...
Justin
Feena...
Feena
...Let's sleep now. You two are going to want get up early tomorrow,
right?
THE NEXT DAY
Justin
Yaaaawn... Hey, Feena's gone... I wonder where she went?
*** Go outside.
Feena
Ahh, what a pleasant morning.. Morning,Justin! So how was it? Did you
get any sleep last night?
Justin
Huh? Uh, ah..
Feena
Is that so? Justin, do you know what path this wind is taking? It was
born in the mountains and delievers the sound of birds and the
fragrence of forests. I thought about thesights the wind might have
seen all night. I'dlike to become the wind and soar through the skies
with you. Seeing everything with you.
Justin
Feena...
Feena
I love the wind. You've made remember this long forgotten feeling...
Let's go Justin, let's follow the wind together!
Justin
Yes! Let's go, Feena! But when should wedepart?
Feena
Very soon, Justin. I've been waiting for this feeling.. this moment for
a long time.
ON AN AIRSHIP OF THE GARLYSLE ARMY
Baal
... So did you do it? Did you locate the final fragment?
Myuren
Unfortunately, not yet...
Baal
Unless we can gather all the fragments,"The Yggdrasil Project" will not
beable to advance to its final phase. We must never give up stop this
search until every fragment isin our possession.
Myuren
At this moment, an operation is occuring within a huge forest near the
Domu Ruins. If goes smoothly, we should acquire new information
about...
Baal
... I see... Perhaps you'll catch himthis time. I'm anticipating a
satsifactory outcome.
BACK AT FEENA'S HOUSE
Feena
Well, I think we're ready to start traveling to Domu! Make sure you
don't forget anything. Now, first of all we have to cross the Rangle
Mountains located south of New Parm. The ruins arelocated in a desert
beyond the mountains.
Justin
Alright! We're off to Domu!

A Change of Plans
RANGLE MOUNTAINS
*** Travel through the first part of the Rangle Mountains and walk by
the bubbling spring.
Feena
This looks like a pretty safe spot. We don't want to overexert
ourselves traveling so why don't we set up camp now?
*** Select Feena.
Feena
What an interesting fate. I never would have been able to guess
when I first met you two aboard that ship that we would end up
camping together in these remote mountains.
Justin
Ha, ha, ha. I don't think you had much faith in me back then...
Sue
Why, that's because you're always acting like a little kid. I
don't blame her.
Feena
He, he.. But Justin really helped me out back there at the
church. You saved my life~!
*** Select Sue.
Feena
Are you okay, Sue? Did all that mountain climbing tire you out?
Sue
Nah, not at all! Because we're all adventurers! That was a piece
of cake for the likes of us!
Feena
Really, then I guess I have nothing to worry about! Anyway, I've
been wondering, how was life like in Parm?
Sue
Justin was always getting into trouble! I wonder if he's if he's
changed at all? What were you like when you were a kid, Feena?
Feena
Wha!? Me!? Ummm, let's see.. I was always around my older sister.
She was a really nice person... but 2 years ago she suddenly went
off to join the army and left me...
*** Select Sue.
Sue
Hmm, so Feena's sister is in the Garlysle Army.. We saw several
woman soldiers at Saruto, you know? I wonder if one of them could
of been your sister?
Justin
How can you say that, Sue!? That one of those ugly, mean battle
axes was Feena's sister!
Sue
Well, there was that group of 3 mean women, but there was also
that one around the soldier with gold hair. I thought she was
pretty and looked friendly.
Justin
Hmm...
*** Select Feena.
Feena
So Justin, you want to go to Domu, right? Do you intend to find
some more information about Enjule there?
Justin
Didn't I tell you? We just want to go to Alent. We should find
something at Domu to point us in the right direction, nothing
more.
Feena
...Al.. ent? I've never heard of a place named that...
Justin
I hadn't either... It might be a city of the Enjule civilization.
Whatever it is, it must surely an incredible place.
Feena
But past Domu Ruins there's just a giant misty forest... and
after that, the edge of the world...
Justin
Right, but... it's got to be somewhere... I'm sure we'll know
where to go after visiting Domu! We'll make it even if we have to
go to the World's End!
Feena
Justin!? Noone has ever returned from the Forest of Mist! And the
idea of going to the World's End...
Justin
Feena... you still don't understand! "Impossible" isn't part of
an adventurer's vocabulary! And if it can be done, we'll do it!
Feena
Justin... I trust you. Yes, we can do it!
*** Select yourself.
THE NEXT DAY
Justin
Yaaawn. Boy, I slept well last night!
Sue
Yeah, it was so nice and cool!
Feena
Morning, you two! Nice morning, isn't it?
Sue
Wow! Feena, you always get up so early!
Feena
Hmm.. Well unless you can get up a little earlier, you're not
full-fledged adventurers!
Justin
A-ha, ha, ha. Quit it, Feena. That's the same thing you said when</pre><pre id="faqspan-4">
we met you after you swabbed the deck.
Feena
A-ha, ha. I can see you're a little touchy today! Anyway, the sky
has really cleared up this morning. You can see so far out in the
distance. Oh! Look! There's the Forest of Mist and over there,
the World's End.
Sue
Ooh! It's huge! That's all the Forest of Mist?
Justin
Feena... I see the Forest of Mist, but where's the World's End?
Feena
You're not looking in the right place, Justin. Look higher up.
Justin
Whoaaa!! That gigantic wall is the World's End?!
Feena
Yep, that's the World's End. The world ends beyond that wall.
Justin
Hmm... But, still, there's no way I can be sure until I go there
and look over the edge for myself! I want to verify it with my
own eyes! Damn! I'm burning up with excitement! I've got a
feeling that Alent is just waiting for us out in the distance
somewhere!
Feena
He, he. You're the first person I've known to start burning with
excitement after looking at some scenery! Well, let's get going.
After we cross the rest of this mountain range, we'll be very
close to Domu.
Justin
Alright, let's go! We arrive in Domu Ruins today!
*** Travel through the rest of the mountains to Domu and enter ruined
area.
DOMU RUINS
Feena
These are the Domu Ruins, Justin. When I came here before, the
ruins were so packed with Garlysle soldiers that I couldn't get
inside the ruins. So this is going to be the first time I've
entered this place. I don't know what to expect from here on so
be careful, you two.
Justin
Alright, alright! Now let's go!
Travel through the ruins until you reach a ledge portruding over
the clouds.
Justin
Wow! Look at this! You can't see the ground at all from here!
Incredible...
*** Move through the ruins and defeat the boss. After moving through
the room the boss was guarding...
Feena
I wonder this is?
Sue
Justin, we've seen this thing somewhere before, right?
Justin
This is... Oh yeah! This is the same thing we saw at the Saruto
Ruins!
Feena
And you said you met someone named Riethe at Saruto, right?
Justin
Yeah, and I know this thing was nearby when we met her. Therefore
if I... Let's see here...
Feena
Justin!? What, what are you doing...!
Riethe
Welcome, Justin, follower under the spirits' blessing.
Justin
I'm already here, Riethe! Now how about Alent? Where's Alent
hiding?
*FMV TRANSLATION PENDING*
Riethe
This world does not have an edge... There may be a way you can
verify that...
Justin
Alright... This adventure isn't over yet... It's obvious we can't
grope our way into Alent now, but now we know the world doesn't
end! You two heard that, right? That means there's something
beyond the World's End! The adventure can continue!
Sue
But Justin... that wall was so high... Do really think we get by
it? And that's not all... The Forest of Mist is ahead of us, and
noone's ever returned from traveling through there...
Justin
What? That doesn't matter! Don't you think? I'm an adventurer!
There's nowhere I can't go!! There's no place of no return!! If
noone's gone there or returned from there, then I'll be the first
person on Earth to make it! I'm sure Alent is over there too!
Let's go, Feena, Sue!! First we cross the Forest of Mist! Then we
make it to the other side of the World's End!
*** Return to the entrance of the ruin.
Feena
Ok, I know you want go beyond the World's End. But just how do
you intend do it?
Justin
It's alright! Don't worry, I'm sure we'll find away.
Sue
Juustiiin!? You're not thinking again, are you? You can't do
anything without our help.
Feena
Aha, ha, ha, that's Justin alright. Why don't we return to New
Parm before we go? We'll probably need provisions for the
journey.
Sue
That's what I expected! Feena, on the other hand, has thought up
a great idea~!
*** Leave the ruin.
Feena
Wait, Justin! Hey, look over there! There's someone on the
ground!
Creature
%...
Justin
It's a child! He's passed out...
Feena
He's bleeding...! This is terrible!! It's a horrible wound!
Sue
Hey, Feena... This kid has a horn and a tail... Oh look! He's
opening his eyes!
Creature
... %**...
Feena
Great...! It looks like he's conscious now.
Justin
It's... not an animal. It seems like a human.
Creature
$#$#! $@@! $@#@@!!
Justin
Huh?
Feena and Sue
Ahhh! Justin!
Justin
Owwww! He's biting me! He's biting me! W-w-what is the heck is
this thing!?
Creature
%...
Feena
It looks like he's become unconscious again... Well, we've got to
find a way to treat his wounds! Justin, help me! Let's transport
him back to my house. Hurry!
Justin
Oh, oh, I see! Leave it to me!
*** They leave.
Saki
Look! He's been here!
Nana
Alright, company, halt! Sub-human Pursuit Squad, stop right here!
Mio
This is strange. According to my calculations, he should not be
able to flee this area with a wound that severe.
Nana
I'm so thoughtless. Sometimes during guard duty I get bored and
go off to buy make-up.
Mio
Don't worry, even if you're fired, our friendship will be
eternal.
Saki
Quit it you two! Ugh, I hate the smell of this animal! If I
didn't have perfume on, I just couldn't take it!
Nana
What should we do, Mio? This is the precious sub-human we nearly
captured! We absolutely must find him!
Mio
Yes, let's see... That's it! Let's use the military dogs. If this
goes according to my plan, we should have a wonderful result!
Mio
Good thinking, Mio! It takes a beast to catch a beast. Let's
return to the base and make preparations.
Nana
Alright, Sub-human Pursuit Squad, about face! We're going back to
the base on the front line!

The Search for a Cure
FEENA'S HOUSE
Creature
@@@... %%%...
Feena
This is bad... I tried treating him using my usual method, but it
seems he still has a fever.
Justin
Well? Does it look you can save him or not?
Feena
It's no good... You see, when the wound becomes infected and this
type of fever is contracted... Well, there's nothing I can do.
Sue
Are you sure there's no way? Well, Feena?
Feena
In order to stop the infection I'll need a type of herb called a
Sarfa Weed. But at this time of year....
Justin
Don't say it. Let's try looking for one anyway. We might get
lucky and find one, right?
Feena
That's right... Then let's go! The herb grows pretty well on the
mountain behind my house.
*** Go outside.
Justin
Uhh.. where did you say the Sarfa Weed grows again?
Feena
It's on the rocky mountain behind my house. There's a fence in
front of it. Come on!
*** Go to the fence near Feena's house.
Feena
We can climb the mountain from here. Beyond this point there are
lots of evil monsters, so this area was sealed up a long time
ago. Wait a second. I'll unfasten the fence.
Justin
Just relax! I'll take of this fence with one shot of my
wood-shattering kick!
Feena
N-no, Justin..!
Justin
Yaaa!
It hurts.
Justin
Owww!
Feena
Justin, are you ok!? Don't be so reckless!
Justin
N-no sweat... It guess it did hurt just a tiny bit... Anyhow,
let's hurry up and find some Sarfa Weed!
*** If you find a white herb...
Feena
Justin, this is a white Sarfa Weed. We need a red one.
*** If you find a red one...
Feena
This is it! This is a red Sarfa Weed! I thought they would have
all withered away by now... Great! Now we can save that child!
*** You receive a Sarfa Weed.
*** Return to Feena's house.
Feena
It looks like his fever has gone down... That's the first
improvement he's made. I think he's going to make it..
Justin
Well, I didn't know how this was going to turn out, but boy am I
relieved now! But anyway.. what's with this kid? He's growing a
tail or something.
Feena
Hmm.. From the direction he was lying when we found him on the
ground, it looked like he had came from the Forest of Mist.
Justin
Maybe... I wonder if this kid is somehow connected to Enjule...?!
That's got to be it! Since he's growing horns and a tail! This is
terrific, Feena! This kid might be a Koyokujin or something...
Feena
Shh! Don't talk so loud. You might wake him up!
Justin
Sorry Feena. I just got so excited all of the sudden... Ha, ha,
ha..
Feena
Oh Justin! I have no idea whether this child is somehow connected
to Enjule or not, but I'm sure he'll tell us all about when he
wakes up. He's still going to be wounded when he awakes so we'll
have to guide him back to where he lives.
Justin
Right! He's a mysterious guy, but I'm sure it will all become
clear when we have a talk with him.
Feena
Then... Justin, please get some sleep. I'll look after him.
Justin
You should get to bed soon too. It's been a pretty tiring day.
Feena
Ok. Good night, Justin.
THAT NIGHT
Sue
I wonder what that is... That mysterious music... Hey, wake up,
Justin.
Justin
Feena... she fell asleep like that.
Sue
Wha?! Feena, Justin!! The kid is gone!!
Feena
Uh..? W-where did he go off to..!? I didn't think he would have
already recovered by now... Hmm..? A flute..? Where's that music
coming from?
Sue
It sounds like it's coming from outside. Let's go, Justin!
*** Go outside.
Sue
Oh, over there!
Creature
#@$ #@$! #$*% #*$% #*$@$!! )%# ^ #(%*^@.
Sue
Hey, what's your name? My name's Sue.
Creature
@#%$@#@ #$@#! %*)$(#*$)%()#* #)$(%*#$.
Justin
Maybe this kid isn't human after all. He has such a strange
voice.
Feena
But he seems like he's trying to tell us something. Maybe... he's
just speaking in another language?
Justin
Another language...? I didn't think there were any other
languages..
Feena
Hey, little boy, who are you? Where did you come from?
Creature
@#@# @##!? #$$#! #@$ ##@%^$!
Justin
Hmm, this isn't working! He can't understand a thing we say.
Creature
#$%#$%^%!!
Justin
What's this? He's giving us a nut? What does he want us to do
with it?
Sue
Maybe he wants to thank us? He probably wants us to eat it.
Feena
I've never seen a nut like this before. Try eating it, Justin.
They're surrounded.
Saki
We've finally found you! I'll never be able to forget the stench
of this beast!
Creature
#$%# #$%... @#... #@$%
Justin
What are you doing here!?
Nana
The Garlysle Army demands you hand over the sub-human!
Justin
Sub-human? ... So he's a sub-human, huh? I thought he was human..
Mio
Hey... we met you kids at Saruto, didn't we? What a strange place
for us to see you again... You have no choice. If you don't want
to get hurt, please hand over the child.
Feena
No! Why do you want this child anyway!?
Justin
We just rescued this kid! Now why should we just blindly hand him
over to you!?
Sue
Yeah, yeah! That's tyrannical!
Nana
Ahhhhh! They're all talking at once! It's just too much! I don't
care whether it's tyrannical or not! The sub-human is an
essential part of the army's secret project. If you don't hand
him over right now, we'll kill you all!!
Justin
An important part!? The army has a secret project...!?
Saki
Hey! What are you doing blurting out that classified
information!? Think before you speak!
Nana
N-now we have no choice! The only we can do is take them back to
the base!
Mio
Then I guess you'll have to come along with us back to the
base...
Justin
A-are you kidding!? Do you think we're going to just let you take
us away!?
Mio
From now on, you are not allowed to disobey us. If you do, you'll
be forced to do hard labor until you die. Alright soldiers! Take
this group back to our base on the front line!

Captured!
AT THE MILITARY BASE
Justin
Damn it! You're just going to toss us in here and leave?!
Nana
O-ho-ho! Resolve yourselves for the end, kids. You're not going
to slip by us this time!
Mio
This is fantastic! We're allowed to give them the death penalty
if they try to escape, you know? I wonder which method of
execution would be most effective?
Saki
Well, let's go, Saki, Mio!
*** To a soldier
Saki
Alright! Guard this area and shout out if they try anything!
Sue
They left... What should we do now, Justin?
Justin
They took away all our weapons... I don't think that we can
escape from here now...
*** Select the shiny object inside the cell.
Justin
Hmm..? What's this?
*** You acquire a very heavy pipe.
Justin
Now we're talking! This pipe is nice and heavy. I think we have a
chance now!
Sue
Yay! Just knock that guy out~...
Justin
Ok! We have a weapon! But we still need an escape plan... Hey!
I've got an idea, Sue!
Sue
Yep, I've got it, Justin!
*** Sue begins to cry..
Sue
Waaaah! My tummy, hurts, hurts, HURTS, HUUURRRTTTS!!!!
Justin
Listen, something's wrong with Sue! Come on!
Guard
Stop shouting! What's the matter!?
Justin
Sue, Sue's... it's terrible!
Sue
WAAAAH! MY TUMMY HUUURRRTS!!
Justin
Hey! Hurry up, hurry up! Get her to a doctor!
Guard
Dang, I guess I have no choice. What a brat. Just wait a second,
I'm opening the door...
*** Justin hits the guard.
Guard
*Mmmph!*
Sue
That worked pretty well, Justin!
Justin
Ah, ha! Our plans are fool-proof! Now, we've got to rescue Feena
and that kid, and get out of here!
*** Go to the next room and talk to Feena.
Feena
Justin! You came for me!
Justin
Feena, hold still! I'm opening up this door! Mmm... Grrgrrgrr...!
It's no use! The door won't open!
Feena
Justin, you're hopeless! You can't just open it up with your
brute strength. You need a key!
Sue
Hey, hey, Justin, it looks like there's another room over here!
There might be a key in there!
Justin
I guess so. Then let's have a look!
*** Go in the next room, approach the gate.
Justin
No! This won't open either! Shoot! Now where's the key?
*** Go in the next room.
Soldier
What's up? I see... the room with the sub-human specimen, huh...
So you're in the middle of examing it now? We've got those 2
kids. No, the guard duty is going smoothly, don't worry. Huh!?
You!?
Justin
Yaa!
Sue
Way to go, Justin!
Justin
He, he, I had perfect form on that one!
Sue
Hey, Justin. I bet that sub-human specimen is that little kid.
Justin
Right, we'll have to rescue him after we free Feena!
*** Select the key on the floor.
Justin
Alright, it's the prison key!
*** You acquire the prison key.
*** Leave.
Justin
Geez!!
Sue
Ahhh!
*** Everything becomes black..
Voices
You little brat!
*** Justin is taken back to the cell.
Justin
Crap, and we nearly got away... Damn! Get me out of here!! What
do you plan to do with me!? Say something!!
Guard
Shut up! Just hang there quietly!
Justin
Look at me, you jerks! I'm going to get away! I warned you!
*** Leen enters.
Leen
How's our prisoner here?
Guard
He's been shouting the whole time. He just won't behave.
Leen
I see... I'm going to have a talk with him. Let me through.
*** Leen enters the cell.
Leen
... I've spoken to you before. Your manner is foolish.
Justin
What are you talking about!? I remember, we were after each
other's throats at Saruto too! Now untie these ropes! I want to
see Feena!
Leen
Silence! I did not give you permission to talk freely! You've
discovered too much of our secret project. About the ancient
civilization and now the sub-human... No matter, the fate of you
3 shall be decided within a week. You might be put to death.
Justin
So you want me to obediently hang around here and wait for you to
give me the death penalty!? I'm going to escape, I tell you!
Leen
Shut up! I did not say you could speak!
Justin
Whoa, I can take it... Urp... On second thought, I think I should
remember to be quiet...
Leen
.... Do you really think that we're going to allow you to escape
from here? There's no way that you can get by all the soldiers
alone. You're not leaving until the military train gets here.
Justin
Huhh... Mi-military train...?
Leen
There's nothing for you to do but wait for your sentence.. So
behave until then.
*** Leen leaves the cell.
Leen
Cmdr. Myuren will announce your new orders soon. Standby in the
next room.
Guard
But Lieutenant Leen, is alright to leave this boy unguarded?
Leen
You may leave now. If this boy causes any more trouble, we'll
just kill him.
Guard
Yes, ma'am! Excuse us as we take our leave!
*** Guards leave.
Leen
I've been thinking. You still have a lot of time left before your
fate is decided upon...
Justin
Bah... I'll have to remember that girl! After she slapped me in
the face like that! Now then, what I'm I going to do... I've got
to get out of these ropes somehow... Hey, seems like I can squirm
out of these! Mmm... Somehow... Mmmmm.. Come on...
*** Justin unties the ropes.
Justin
Yeah! Now.. I have to make it out of here this time!!
*** Select the key on the floor.
Justin
... Huh? Might this be... Alright!! It's the prison key!
*** You acquire the prison key.
Justin
I guess Leen must of dropped this. Heh, heh, heh... what a
foolish thing to do...
Feena
Justin! I'm glad you're safe!
Justin
Hold on, Feena! I'm opening this up! Ok! It's unlocked!
Feena
Thanks, Justin!
Justin
He, he, no sweat!
Feena
How did you break out of there so quickly? What sort of magic did
you use?
Justin
Heh, heh, actually some soldier came to my cell and asked me a
bunch of questions, and then she ended up dropping the key as she
left. She's a real fool, you know. So, anyway, I used that key to
escape.
Feena
Hmmm.. That's sort of hard to believe.. I guess we have that
soldier to thank for our rescue!
Sue
Justin, before we leave, we should rescue that child!
Justin
Oh, of course!
Feena
Then let's start looking for him now before the soldiers start
looking for us.
Climb through an air duct behind the gate in the next room and
keep going straight until you hear something.
Voice
..@#$@#$ @#$# @#$@!! @##$%# ##$@!
Justin
Ah!? That voice...
Creature
#@#!? %$%#$@ $#$%#@ $#@@%.
Myuren
@#$# @#$%$@#? #@$%^#@.
Creature
@#$%#... @#$#@!?
Myuren
Hmm... it seems hopeless... He's too afraid...
Leen
... How did it go, Cmdr. Myuren? Did you find out the location of
the sub-human's village?
Myuren
No... He's frightened and will not cooperate. I should not expect
that he will reveal the location of his village. He won't even
tell me his name. I think Saki and her crew overdid it this time.
It's their usual method, but we must make sure to warn them not
to traumatize the speciemens from now on.
Leen
Myuren, sir... What do you intend to do with the sub-human child?
We can't..
Myuren
Ha, ha... Leen, you're such a gentle soul. Are you that worried
about it?
Leen
N-no.. It's not...
Myuren
Don't worry. I will not be harsh. This operation will only be
significant if we are just in accomplishing it. Let's proceed
with the plan we talked about earlier. You must be dilligent,
Leen!
Leen
Yes, sir.
Sue
What did you see, Justin? Did you find that kid? I heard his
voice!
Justin
Oh, he's right over here! And there was someone else, that guy we
met at Saruto. I think he was called Myuren..
Sue
Really? That guy with the golden hair!?
Feena
I seem to recall you said that guy gave you some trouble.
Justin
So now the story is that he gave me some trouble!? We just had a
rough brawl with him!! But.. somehow he could understand what
that kid was saying. How does he do it?!
Feena
Let's just save that kid now. Ok then, let's go!
*** Proceed through the next air vent.
Sue
Justin, over there!
Select the buttons on the wall.
Feena
Looks like we have to push these buttons in the proper order to
get the door to open.
Justin
These buttons should open this door. Hmm.. which one goes
first...
*** 3 Choices
1) Push the "Up" button.
2) Push the "Down" button.
3) Push the "Left" button.
4) Push the "Right" button.
*** Push a button.
Justin
And then, and then, next should be...
*** Push a button
Justin
Hmm, and the 3rd one is...
*** Push a button.
Justin
This is the 4th. Umm, the 4th is...
*** Push a button.
Justin
Ok, now we're at the 5th...
*** Push a button.
Justin
Uhh, the 6th is... Umm, err...
*** Push a button.
Justin
Stay calm... Stay calm... Stay calm, Justin. The 7th is...
*** Push a button.
Justin
Is this... the last one? Mmm.. the 8th is...
*** Push a button.
Justin
Shoot.... It looks like this isn't working..
Sue
Let's stop wasting our time here and start searching for the
proper way to open this door, Justin!
*** Travel through the ducts until you reach a colorful room.
Justin
What!? This is..!
Saki
Boy, the new world sure is hot! I'm sweating everywhere. My chest
is sweating, look, I'm even sweating in my underwear.
Mio
That's strange. According to my calculations your chest wouldn't
naturally be sweating...
Nana
Quit talking about the heat. It just makes me feel hotter!
Anyhow, I wonder if Myuren is going to select me? I want to
follow his every command...
Saki
Ahemmm! What do you think? I know Myuren is going give me high
grade! I'm sure of it! By the way, the code to that beast's door
is up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, correct?
Nana
It looks like your head is filled with sweat too! It's right,
left, right, left, down, down, up, up! Nana, I see that tasks
such as remembering a simple code are imm-poss-ee-bull for you!
Mio
You're both wrong. It's right, right, left, left, down, up, down,
up. Try to remember this time.
Saki
So it's right, right, left, left, down, up, down, up... Alright!
I have it memorized!!
Nana
Get it right this time! I don't want you blurting out, "Damnit!"
in front of that stinky little beast!
Saki
I'm not going to fail such a simple task! And when I put the code
in properly, I'll have a nice long, "I told you so" in front of
your face! Uhh.. right, right, left, left, up down, up, down.
Right, right, left, left, up, down, up, down...
*** Go back to the door and put in Mio's code.
Justin
Allllright, it opened!! Just like they said!
Feena
You watched them dressing in the process of getting that code.
Justin
Right, right... hey! Now wait, wait, Feena!
Sue
Justin, you're the lowest of the low!
Justin
Su-Sue, how can you say that!? A-anyway, let's hurry up and
rescue that kid!
Sue
Ah-ha, trying to change the subject, I see.
Talk to the child(?) behind be the bars.
Creature
@@!? @#$%$!? @#$@! @#$@# @#$ @#$$!
Sue
It's alright, it's alright. We're here to rescue you.
Feena
Uhh, how do we open this cage...? There must be a switch or
something around here...
*** Select the pulley nearby.
Justin
Oh..! Maybe we can open the cage with this!
Creature
@#$ @#$@ $*@ $%#!
*** After lifting the cage.
Creature
@#$#@##! %(* %(*$# $(%*!! $(%)#$.
Feena
3 nuts..? He tried to give us these before. I wonder if he's
telling us to eat them.
Sue
Hmm... It doesn't look poisonous... Justin, try eating one.
Justin
Ri-ridiculous! How can you say that!? Aren't we friends!? I
thought you always wanted us to be together!? We can't be
together if I'm dead from eating one of those!
Feena
Aha, ha, ha, ha! Justin, don't you think overreacting just a bit?
But you're right, let's eat them together. On the count of 3...
One!
Justin
Two!
Sue
Three!
Justin, Sue, and Feena
...Ulp......
Justin
@#$X#$@O!!!!!!
Creature
Are you alright!? I'm sorry. Did they taste that bad?
Justin
... Did they taste that bad...? I see! Don't make someone eat
that junk! It's indigestable!
Creature
Whoa! I-I'm sorry! But I'm not Indigestable, I'm Lem!
Feena
! Justin! We can understand what that child is saying now!
Justin
Huh? That's... that's right! I can understand what this kid is
saying!
Lem
Those were nuts from a "communica tree". It's a bit of the
"wisdom of the lost of the civilization" that's found in my
village.
Sue
Unbelievable!! Now we can talk with him as much as we want!
Justin
First we have to escape from here! Let's search for an exit!
*** Attempt to leave.
Saki
Huh? How did you escape from your cell!? And you brought the
sub-human with you?! Well, it's up to me to save the day! Get
them! You will not escape with your life!
*** After defeating Saki.
*** You acquired the master key.
Justin
Hey! Look at this! I bet we can open all sorts of doors now!
*** Upon trying to go up some stairs...
Nana
How did you escape! I see that idiot Saki must of fouled up
again! But this where it ends, kiddies. My beautiful techniques
will spill your blood!
*** After the battle, go upstairs.
Justin
Wah! We're outside!
Sue
What should we do, Justin!?
Feena
Let's keep searching for an exit!
*** Upon trying to go down the corridor with a saving point..
Mio
Aha, I thought I heard a noise coming from here. I see you're
escaping. This is troubling. You were scheduled to be sent to
receive the death penalty tomorrow... Well, I guess I'll have to
change the schedule.
*** After the battle, proceed downstairs.
Justin
Huh! This is... that military train that girl was talking about!
We can escape on this train!
Feena
Justin, do you know how to drive one of these things?
Justin
Actually I've never driven one of these in my life, but we'll
manage!
*** Get in the train.
Sue
Justin, hurry, hurry! There are soldiers coming!
Justin
Ok, gotcha! This is it!
IN THE GARLYSLE AIRSHIP
Myuren
I see... So you say the young sub-human escaped? Until now it was
proceeding so smoothly..
Leen
Yes, Commmander. But...
Myuren
... What, Leen?
Leen
N-no... it's nothing.
Myuren
Alright, Leen. Order Nana's party to begin pursuing the youths
accordingly.. You, Leen, will watch their pursuit from the sky
with me. Prepare the battleship, Grandeur, for departure.
Leen
Understood, Cmdr. Myuren. The preparations will be completed in
15 minutes.
ON THE TRAIN
Feena
Morning, Justin.
Justin
Oh, good morning, Feena!
Feena
It looks like we've finally gotten away from the military...
You've been driving this thing all through the night, Justin. You
must be tired. Why don't you let me drive for a while?
Justin
I'm fine, I'm fine! A world-class adventurer can't yield at a
time like this! Anyway, how's Sue and Lem?
Feena
They're both sleeping soundly in the passenger car. He, he, they
look so cute fast asleep.
Justin
Really? That's nice, but there are tons of things I want to ask
Lem now!
Feena
I understand what you mean, but let's let them sleep a little
longer. Yesterday was quite a strain.
Justin
Got it!.
Feena
I think the fire needs some more coal. I'll go get it.
Justin
No, I'll do it!
Feena
Then who's going to be driving the train?
Justin
Hey, hmm...
Feena
Aha, ha, ha! Ok, I'll handle the driving while you feed the fire.
Justin
Understood! Umm...
Feena
Just pull that lever over there.
Justin
Whoa!! What's happening!?
Feena
N-no, Justin! That's the brake! Pay attention, Justin!
Justin
Heh, heh, it was just a little joke!
Feena
Really~?
Justin
Really!
Feena
Aha, ha, ha, ha!
LATER
Feena
How are you, Lem? Did you sleep well yesterday?
Lem
Nope, I couldn't sleep much. This is first time I've ever ridden
on something like this! I was really excited!
Justin
This vehicle is called a train! There are lots of things like
this from where we come from!
Pui
Puu! Puu!
Sue
But I can't imagine why boys are so crazy about vehicles like
this. Justin always got on these things back home without
permission and got into big trouble!
Feena
Aha, ha, ha, ha! That's our Justin!
Justin
Ha, ha, ha, I guess things like that did happen occasionally...
Anyhow, Lem! I've got a mountain of questions for you!
Lem
I'll tell you anything I know! What do you want to ask me?
*** 3 Choices
1) Why were you on the ground in the Forest of Mist?
2) Have you seen the World's End?
3) Where do you live?
*** Choose 1
Lem
I was just walking through the forest when suddenly this
scary-looking lady started chasing after me..
Justin
That had to be one of those 3 pathetic women.
Lem
I ran as hard as I could, but I fell over something and hurt
myself.
Feena
But why would the Garlysle Army do such a thing..? Could my
sister be connected to it? Nah, I don't think so.
*** Choose 2
Lem
The World's End..? Oh, you mean that big wall? Of course I've
seen that! My mom said that people used to live on the other side
of the wall a long, long time ago.
Justin
Really!? People on the other side!?
*** Choose 3
Lem
My village is called Ruku. It's surrounded in reeeeally thick
mist so noone goes in there! Actually noone ever leaves the
village either, but.. I wanted to see the world!
Justin
Oh, Lem, I think you've got some potential as an adventurer! What
say you, Feena?
Feena
That's right, certainly more than Justin... Aha, ha, ha! Kidding,
kidding!
Lem
I know! Let's go to Ruku! I'm sure all the villagers will give us
a big welcome!
Justin
Ruku..? Perhaps I can learn more about the World's End over
there. Then let's head to Ruku! Lead the way, Lem! W-whoa! What's
that!?
Feena
Eeeek!
Justin
What could that be? I'll have a look!
*** Justin goes out.
Justin
Yaah! What's that, some sort of new military vehicle chasing
after us!?
Justin
They're in pursuit! The army is chasing down the train!
Sue
Oh no! What should we do, Justin?!
*** Leave the room. Walk up to the first soldier.
Soldier
I've found them! Just try and get by me!
*** After the battle
Soldier
C-crap, they got me..
*** Walk up to the next soldier.
Soldier
There's nowhere for you to run! Just come quietly!
*** After the battle
Soldier
Damn... t-they.. got me...
*** Go in the next room and approach the next soldier.
Soldier
Found you! Alright, Lighting Star Squad, CHAAARGE!!
*** After the battle
Soldier
S-shit, they got me... I've failed Lieutenant Nana again..
*** Walk up to the next soldier.
Soldier
The pride of the Bloody Rose Squad is at stake! You will not
escape! Give yourselves up!
*** After the battle
Soldier
I'm sorry, Lieutenant Saki...
*** Go to the next soldier
Soldier
The Desert Moon Squad won't be so easy! Prepare yourselves!
*** After the battle.
Soldier
And after I ended up being assigned to Lieutenant Mio's squad...
Feena
... Excellent! The soldiers still haven't entered the engine
room.
Sue
But I'm sure they'll be here soon! At this rate, they'll
eventually capture us, Justin...
Justin
Mmm.. they're probably coming, and fast... Perhaps... the brake?.
*** Select the brake.
Justin
...Alright! Watch out! I'm pulling the brake lever.. Mmmmph!
Mmmmph! Craaap, it's stuck! Ummmph! Urrrmph!
Feena
What should we do about it, Justin?
Sue
I can't believe we're going to lose because of a single stuck
lever!
Justin
He, he, look here! Now before they get here...
*** Fade out
Nana
Hurry up! Search the engine room up ahead and destroy them!
Saki
Ah! Are you stalling me, Nana!? Is that it!?!
Mio
Uh, if we're late in accomplishing this mission we're going to
get 100 lashes.
Saki
Heh, heh, heh, how's that!? My squad got in here first! That puts
each of us in our rightful place!
Mio
Wait just a second, Saki. Is this the right place for us to be?
Saki
What are you talking about, Mio? Just because your squad was
late... Ahhh! Our objective is not here!
Nana
Well where are they!? What are you doing just standing there?!
Start searching for them!
Justin
Heh, heh, we have you!
Saki
We finally meet again, Justin!! You may have defeated me at the
base, but it's not going to happen again!!
Mio
That's right... When we team up, we're nearly 11 times as strong.
Nana
...? That beast isn't with you. Where'd you hide him? I know you
wouldn't try to escape without him...
Saki
We'll take care of that later, Nana. First we have to finish this
brat off.
Mio
Let's do it. According to my calculations, this should be over in
a minute.
Justin
Heh, heh, heh, that's right. This will be over in a minute!!
Feena! Sue! Disconnect the car!
Nana
Does he think that he can get away so easily?!
Mio
It's probably just a childish attempt. We just need to pull the
brake.
Nana
Where's the brake!?
Justin
I took the liberty of removing the brake lever!
Sue
Good thinking, Justin!
Nana
What do we do, now?!
Mio
There's no way to stop the train, we'll have to jump.
Saki
We can't jump at this speed!!
Saki, Nana, and Mio
Justin!!! We'll get you for this!
*** The train stops.
Feena
Aha, ha, ha! Ah, we've made it! The faces that those 3 made are
unforgetable!
Justin
Yeah, when they were trying in desperation to stop the train!
Sue
Aha, ha, ha! That was funny!
Justin
Anyway, Lem, is Ruku Village nearby?
Lem
Yeah, it's really close to here! Let's go!
Sue
This is incredible fog! It's as thick as milk!
Feena
I can't see anything ahead...
Feena
What should we do, Justin? Should we wait until the fog clears?
Justin
That might be the best thing to do. If we try to proceed we'll
get lost in all the fog..
Lem
He, he, he... It's alright! If you've got a Ruku villager with
you, you won't get lost! Look!!
Justin
Unbelievable! The fog cleared up!
Lem
He, he... Isn't it great? This flute lets everyone in the village
know I'm coming, and in Ruku there are strange nuts called
fog-lifting nuts, and they clear away all the fog. Now let's get
going! My village is just up ahead! Hurry, hurry!
Sue
Oh! Wait up, Lem~!
Feena
He's already off... He seems very happy to be returning to his
village.
Justin
Let's go! If we don't hurry he might leave us behind!

*** After Lem clears the Fog, Justin and the others follow him to Ruku
Village
Lem
...Here is Ruku Village. I've Already told everyone in the village
about you guys.
Lem
And when I did, the Village Elder said that he want to meet you guys
to say thanks.
Lem
I'll wait by my house so go meet the Elder...got it? See ya!
*** After Lem darts away, Justin and the others have a look around the
village and engage in small talk with the villagers. Soon they reach
the Village Elder's house and enter
Village Elder
I am the Elder of Ruku Village. I have heard that you rescued Lem.
While I, as the Elder of this village, wish to present something as
our sign of appreciation....
Village Elder
However I must beg of you to make the stay in this village as short as
possible. We people are one such that wish one peace.
Justin
What are you trying to say? Are you trying to tell us to leave?
Village Elder
I, I wouldn't go that far.... However..... This is a bit....then...
Justin
Wasn't there anyone that came to this village besides us? Were they
all chased out?
Village Elder
Well, thats not true. To dwell among us you must get the blessings of
the God of Light.
Justin
Oh so thats it! How would we be able to get this blessing? Tell us
Elder!
Village Elder
....Then I shall tell you.... The god that protects this village, the'
God of Light',is at the peak of Koujin Mountain.
Village Elder
Bring back that bottle of wine that is in front of the mural.
Village Elder
Thats the procedure used in order for us to recognise those from the
outside world as part of this village.
Village Elder
To tell you the truth, I do not wish to disturb the peace of this
village but since you saved Lem, I really dont have a choice.
*** After hearing this, Justin and the others set out for Koujin Mountain
in order to get accepted as part of Ruku Village (after getting new
Weapons armor and the like).

*** After a long trek upwards the mountain, Justin's Party arrive at the
peak of Koujin Mountain. Justin Notices a mural and goes up to it
Justin
Oh so this is the wine bottle ! With this we can receive the blessings
of the God of Light.
Justin
We'll be in big trouble if we get thrown out of Ruku Village when
we're trying to get to the 'End of the World'......
Justin :
OK, Lets take it!
*** With this Justin takes the wine bottle and starts to head back down
the mountain in order to see the Village Elder once again

The Elder's Tale
IN THE ELDER'S HUT
Elder
Mm.. so you truly have recovered the wine of the Light God..
You've completed your task... I suppose I have no other choice
now.. Let us partake of this wine together.
Justin
Huh?! Drink wine?!
Elder
If you drink this, the God of Light will recognize you as a
member of this village.. Even if you don't really drink it, it
will probably be alright if you just purse lips as if you were
really drinking it.. You could also just leave..
*** Talk to the elder again.
Elder
It will be alright for you to just purse your lips... Now what
are you going to do?
Justin
Mmm... so it's alright if just pretend to drink it?
Elder
The God of Light will probably recognize you, but..
*** Talk to the elder yet again.
Elder
Speak not of evil. Resolve yourself. Discard all unreasonable
thoughts..
Justin
What, what're you talking about all of the sudden? This isn't
related to what we were talking about before...
Elder
I heard the details from Lem. You want to cross the World's End,
correct? In that case, you must travel throught the Forest of
Mist..
Feena
That's right. And we need a fog-lifting nut to do that.
Elder
Mmm.. The fog-lifting nuts are rare in this village.. We are not
quick to hand over such valuable objects to outsiders... Speak
not of evil. Completely resolve yourself.
Justin
What the heck are you talking about, you miser!? Why do you keep
spouting out, "resolve yourself", "resolve yourself"!?
Elder
What a rude child.. It is not miserliness, the fog-lifting nut
grows deep within the Forest of Mist, and it is essential for our
survival.. Our ancestors received one from the honorable
Kouyokujin. It has been passed down for generations. It is our
treasure.
Feena
The "honorable Kouyokujin" you say? The Kouyokujin from the
Legend of Enjule..?
Justin
Elder, sir! You must know a legend about Enjule here too, right?!
Tell me all about it, please!
Elder
Oh, ho! Well.. it's just a story.. It's been a long time..
According the ancient saga of our village... A very looong time
ago this world was enveloped in light. They say it was a splendid
world. We were protected by the Kouyokujin, all was peaceful, and
people neither grew old or sick they say. A time came, however,
when one of our ancestors wanted to become a Kouyokujin. He stole
one wing of the Kouyokujin.. The dead wing was useless in the
end.. When our ancestor attempted to attach the wing to his back
it transformed into darkness itself.. The darkness quickly
covered our village. Plants withered, animals died, and we lost
our beloved light! That's what happened! In order to prevent the
darkness from spreading throughout the entire world, the
Kouyokujin created a huge wall to stop its advance.
Justin
That must be the World's End..
Elder
Right, our ancestors were left on this side of the wall in their
dark village, but the Kouyokujin threw them a mysterious seed
from the other side that can extinguish darkness. In time, the
darkness transformed into mist, and the seed, now known as the
fog-lifting nut, allows us to move in and out of our village.
Without the nut, not even the villagers of Ruku can move through
the Forest of Mist.
Justin
Hmm... so it's a seed from the Kouyokujin? Ooh, now I really want
one.. So what's the other side of the wall like now?
*** Talk to the Elder again.
Elder
It is said that a blessed world lies on the other side. According
to the ancient saga, when our body is destroyed, our spirit
returns to the other side of the wall.
Feena
Hmm.. What a mysterious tale..
Elder
Do you truly intend to scale the wall? You must truly not speak
of evil, renounce all evil intentions. None shall return alone.
Now.. you must rest today. You should stay at Lem's house. Lem's
parents have told me they wish to thank you.
Sue
I'm already beat! How about you, Justin?
Justin
Let's see.. Well, I guess we can take it easy today!
*** Go to Lem's house and talk to Lem.
Lem
Hey, are you going to stay here today? Please do!
Justin
Oh, ok.
Lem
Yay! I'm saved!
Justin
You're saved?
Lem
Well, if I'm alone, I think my father is going to punish me..
*** Talk to Lem's dad.
Dad
You were granted permission from the elder, I see! Well then,
Justin and his friends are our honored guests! You can take it</pre><pre id="faqspan-5">
easy now. We're really indebted to you for saving Lem. Still..
I'm going to have to punish him for breaking a law of the
village.
*** Talk to Lem's mom.
Mom
Are you done listening to the elder speak? It sounds as if
traveling to the World's End is going to be an ordeal. Now as a
reward for saving Lem, I'd like to offer you the chance to stay
at our house for tonight, ok?
*** 3 Choices
1. Eat dinner and stay for the night.
2. Don't stay for the night.
3. %%%%Data Save%%%%
*** Choose no. 1.
Mom
Ok, you'll eat dinner, and rest up for your journey. In
celebration of Lem's safe return, I've prepared quite a feast.
Lem
Yay~~! Mom's food is really delicious!
*** They have dinner.
*** Select yourself.
Feena
My clothes got drenched in all that mist. I need to take a bath.
Sue
Ok, let's go in together, Feena (translator's note: this is
common practice in Japan, and apparently this world too). No
peeping, Justin!
Feena
Or perhaps Justin would like to come in with us?
Justin
Huh!! Wh, wh, wha!?
Feena
It's just a joke! You really are quick to believe things, Justin!
*** Meanwhile, within the airship of the Garlysle Army...
Soldier
Commander, we've found it! It's to the northwest! We've confirmed
it to be the sub-human village! Our squads have followed the
sub-human child through the Forest of Mist and have discovered a
clear path!
Leen
... Just as you planned, Cmdr. Myuren.
Myuren
But our objective is merely to acquire a sample. Do not forget
this. Our operation must be planed around this goal! Begin
landing procedures! Make preparations immediately!
Soldier
Yes, sir! I will take my leave now, sir!
Myuren
I'm leaving you in command of this opearation, Leen.
Leen
Understood, Commander. Certainly... I'm certain I will acquire
the final fragment!
Myuren
...Can you feel the presence of the final piece?
Leen
Yes, sir!
*** Back at Lem's house..
Sue
What on earth is that noise!? It sounds like a train or
something...
Justin
No, it's too loud to be a train. What could it be!?
Lem
I saw it from the window! It's some huge black thing floating in
the sky! And those guys that kidnapped me came out of it and
started running toward the mountain!
Justin and Feena
The Garlysle Army!
Justin
But how did they find this place?
Feena
We should worry about that later, let's go!
*** Leave Lem's house.
Voice
It's horrible, Elder! They're heading toward the mountain of the
God of Light and they want the object we have enshrined there!
Villagers
What should we do, Elder? That venerated object protects Ruku,
and if it's stolen this village will be destroyed! What should we
do if they take it from us... At a time like we this, we need
your wisdom, Elder!
Elder
First of all, calm down, all of you... Now, in order to protect
the artifact there is nothing we can do but fight.. But we've
been hidden away in this village our entire lives... We do not
know of war.. We will probably all die.. Ah! But what else can we
do...
Justin
Leave it to us, Elder! We'll drive the Garlysle Army away from
here!
Feena
Wait, wait just a second, Justin!
Sue
Do you really think we can do that, Justin?
Justin
There's noone else in this village that can fight! We gotta do
it...! And we are Lem's friend, right? Naturally one would want
to save a friend's village!
Feena and Sue
He is our friend..
Feena
Right, since he's our friend, we have to do it.
Sue
Alright, let's kick those goons out of here!
Elder
Goodness! What reassuring children! You will truly save this
village? I wish you luck. Please protect the Light God's
artifact!
Justin
Leave it to us! Let's go team!

************************************
*** With each step drawing them closer to the famed place known as "World's
End", Justin, Feena, and Sue at last depart from Luku village. Before
finally arriving at the World's End, however, the trio must first find
their way through the Great Forest of Mist, a sea of trees so thick with
fog as to make travel through it impossible without magical assistance...
JUSTIN
All right . . . I'm gonna give this kiriyoke nut a try . . .
*** Justin hefts the magical seed in his palm, which sparkles briefly, then
hurls the nut into the mist with a shout. The fog around them illuminates
with a blinding flare, and when the three can see once again, the
impenetrably thick blanket of fog has cleared, leaving only a thin mist
behind.
JUSTIN
I did it! The fog lifted!
SUE
Amazing, Justin!
But . . . I guess it was the kiriyoke nut that was amazing, not you
exactly . . .
JUSTIN
Hey, hey . . . c'mon, Sue . . . you don't mean that, do you?
FEENA
Ahahahahaha! Well, let's go, you two!
*** The group eventually reaches a small clearing, a place that seems rather
more peaceful than the rest of the vast forest.
FEENA
It seems safe around this place. Let's camp here for the night.
*** Camp
FEENA (pick Justin)
Hey Justin . . . There's still things I want to talk to you about. I'd
like to continue for just a little longer . . .
SUE (pick)
Even though the fog's finally cleared, I still can't tell at all which
way we need to go, you know . . .
. . . and even though the World's End looked super close from the
mountain, we've been walking forever and we still haven't got there!
JUSTIN
We've come pretty far, yeah . . . but just a little farther, Sue.
Let's do our best, okay?
FEENA (pick)
I still can't believe we're adventuring in the Great Forest of Mist
and searching for the World's End!
This is really an adventure, isn't it? It never felt this way working
at the Adventurer's Association.
I wonder how far apart this is from New Parm? We can't see the lights
from Luku village anymore, either . . .
JUSTIN (pick Sue)
Didn't the World's End look awesome from back on top of Koujin
Mountain? It's gonna look even more awesome close up!
SUE
Our adventure is already turning out to be different from what we
thought. I got you, Justin . . . I'll try a little harder.
JUSTIN (pick Feena)
But it was a surprise . . . that Feena's sister -- I mean, Leen -- was
that woman in the army.
FEENA
. . .
I never thought I would meet my sister again like that. To think, that
my gentle sister . . .
And besides that . . . she said she was searching for Spirit Stones.
What on earth could she be doing?
SUE
C'mon, Feena, cheer up! I'm sure there's gotta be a reason, certainly!
JUSTIN
That's right! Leen doesn't seem like a bad person. The guys giving the
orders have definitely gotta be the ones who're bad!!
SUE (pick)
Yeah, and wasn't Leen that soldier who dropped the key, too? She did
that on purpose, didn't she?
JUSTIN
Hmmm . . . I never thought of that before, but when you say that, it
makes sense . . . or maybe not . . .
SUE
It's gotta be true. I mean, she's Feena's sister. She can't be a bad
person, can she?
FEENA (pick)
. . .
JUSTIN & SUE
Feena!?
FEENA
I'm sorry . . . you're worried about me. I guess this isn't like me,
huh Justin?
JUSTIN
Yeah! I like you best when you're smiling, you know!
FEENA
Ahahaha . . . Justin, that's just like you! Well, let's go to sleep.
You're tired, aren't you, you two?
SUE (pick)
I'm glad Feena's happy again. It'd be no fun if everyone starts
feeling blue after we've just began this adventure. Let's try our best
again, okay?
FEENA (pick)
Well, let's prepare for tomorrow, and sleep tonight.
FEENA (pick Justin)
Good night, Justin, Sue . . . Good night, Leen . . .
*** The following morning, Justin, Feena and Sue set out on their journey
again. The three continue on through the forest, and eventually reach a
section of the river where the water has overflowed the banks, creating a
placid pool of water that spreads across a wide part of the forest.
FEENA
A lake . . . I wonder if this a dead end?
SUE
Look, Justin! The river's running through the middle of the lake!?
JUSTIN
What the heck!?
*** Strangely enough, the party is able to walk upon the water as if it is
nonexistant, and come to a rock which allows them to cross the river.
JUSTIN
Well, look at that! This lake's a mirage!
*** After crossing the river, the group travels on through the seemingly
endless forest until suddenly, the forest opens up a bit, and then . . .
FEENA
W-Wait a minute, Justin! Look at that!!
*** Feena races up onto a rocky mound, pointing at something excitedly. Justin
and Sue hurry after her, reaching the top of the mound. They all look in
the direction that Feena is pointing, and see a massive wall stretching
either way out of sight. The three naturally turn their gazes upward,
looking for the top of the wall . . . and realize that it is obscured by
the clouds far above. At long last, Justin, Feena, and Sue have reached the
place they have only dreamed about prior to this moment: the World's End.
JUSTIN
We made it, finally! The World's End!!
I always said that we'd definitely make it, no matter what!!
FEENA
Yep, it was just as you said, Justin. But can we really climb it, I
wonder . . . ?
SUE
Really, really! This wall's sooo high!!
I can't see the top at all.
JUSTIN
What are you talking about! We've come all this way and yet I hear you
saying that it's impossible?
JUSTIN
Of course we can climb it!
And besides . . . to adventurers, there's nothing that can't be done!!
SUE
Oh, Justin . . . it's always the same with you . .
FEENA
But . . . he's right, you know?
If we all work together, we'll manage to make it somehow!
FEENA
Yes, let's go. Hey, doesn't it look climbable over there?
*** And so the group sets out to begin climbing the mammoth structure that is
World's End. The hundereds of structures jutting out from the wall and the
myriad of passages running through it offer the adventurers a way to climb
the towering barrier, but not without difficulty. The wall is littered with
dangerous traps, and moving architecture sometimes offers the only way to
proceed higher. Some of the mechanisms must be triggered by switches and
the like as well, so the journey is not easy. However, the party seems to
make good progress, and they eventually arrive at a ledge that is wider
than the many others they have already seen.
FEENA
Whew, we've come pretty far, haven't we?
It seems safe here, so shall we rest for a little bit?
*** Camp
FEENA (pick Justin)
Justin? You want to go to sleep early? Stay awake for a just a little
longer!
SUE (pick)
I'm so proud that we're actually up here on World's End. I mean, it's
so tall!
We can see from as high as the birds do, you know! I was so surprised.
JUSTIN
But no matter how tall you say it is, there's definitely got to be a
top.
We should be able to reach it, no matter what!
SUE
You're starting that again . . . I think it's not gonna be as simple
as you seem to think the world is, Justin!
JUSTIN (pick Sue)
This wall is really tall, but there's definitely got to be a top.
We should be able to reach it, no matter what!
SUE
I think it's not gonna be as easy as you think, Justin . . . but I'm
here with you, so it's gonna be okay.
SUE (pick)
Since we're all together, we'll definitely make it over this wall,
won't we!
FEENA (pick)
Look, Justin . . . we can see really far from here.
I wonder if that place is Luku village?
I still can't believe it . . . that we're climbing the World's End!
And we've come all the way to this high place . . .
JUSTIN
Heh, you can't believe it either, huh?
Jin and Gantsu and all the others would certainly never believe it,
either . . .
FEENA
What! The adventurer Jin!?
Are you guys his pupils!?
JUSTIN
Well, not his pupils exactly, but . . . Huh? Feena, you know Jin?
JUSTIN (pick)
Well, Feena? How do you know Jin?
FEENA
Whether I know him or not, he's still the discoverer Jin of the
Plains!
Well, I hear he's retired from active service now, but . . . he's a
great person.
SUE
That's no good, Feena! You'd make Jin mad if you said that kind of
thing.
"Wha...? Come on! I'm not some crusty old retiree!" he'd say.
SUE (pick Justin)
Man, Justin, that's just like you. It's just getting fun, and you
wanna go to sleep already!?
C'mon, let's talk a little more. It'll be fun!
FEENA (pick)
I think tomorrow's probably going to be hard, too, but let's all do
our best, okay?
SUE (pick)
Since we're all together, we'll definitely make it over this wall,
won't we!
FEENA & SUE
Good niiight!
*** On the following day, the group continues on. Before long, the party begins
to reach the first layer of clouds, and the sunlight dims visibly. Giant
guardians of rock patrol the wall here, looking to keep the three heroes
from traveling farther, only to crumble away into rubble, or be struck down
from the wall by massive blocks of stone tumbling away away from the
massive barrier. Flying stone monsters and bats perch upon the wall at
these heights too, sometimes protecting the mechanisms that allow landbound
creatures to climb higher. Justin and his friends manage to brave the day's
peril, however, and soon reach another spot that looks promising for a
resting place.
SUE
Hey Justin, let's camp here for today.
*** Camp
FEENA (pick Justin)
You're still fine, Justin, aren't you? Let's discuss our plans for
tomorrow on a little more.
SUE
Climbing this wall . . . is starting to get boring. I mean, all we see
is the saaame scenery.
POOY
Puppu punpupun!
JUSTIN
What are you saying, Sue? Didn't Jin tell us? Keep your eyes on the
trial ahead of you and you'll get everything you hope for. I mean,
that's the way of adventurers!
FEENA (pick)
I understand how Sue feels too, though. We keep going and going, yet
see only this wall. I wonder if there really is a top as they say?
JUSTIN
Feena, now look what you're saying too! We're adventurers, right?
Adventurers keep going until the end, and they never give up!
FEENA
. . .
Yes . . . Yes, you're right. Adventurers never give up.
You know . . . Justin, you've taught me something again.
SUE (pick)
No matter what you say, boring is still boring!
POOY
Pupunpupun pupuun!
FEENA (pick)
Well, there's no such thing as a mountain without a summit. There
surely must be a top, you know?
JUSTIN (pick)
I didn't mind the climb at all. We should finally be getting close to
reaching the top!
*** Seeming somewhat daunted by the climb, but nevertheless in better spirits
after resting, Justin and company depart the campsite. The wall's guardians
grow even more fierce, and the traps more insidious as the party ascends
through the dark layer of clouds into sunlight. A giant, complex mechanism,
guarded by more of the enormous stone flyers, lifts the party onto a wide
open plateau of stone blocks. The sun once again retreats from view at this
time of day, leaving a dreary atmosphere behind as its light is blocked by
the gigantic wall. Exhausted from the day's ordeals and tiring of the
apparantly endless climb that is World's End, Justin, Feena, and Sue
finally trudge to a halt as they reach the top of the stairs to another
stone shelf.
FEENA
Let's camp here for today.
*** Camp
FEENA (pick Justin)
Wait a minute, Justin. We're not finished talking yet. Could you
please stay awake just a little longer?
SUE
. . . I'm going home already! We climb and climb, but we're never
gonna reach the top!
POOY
Pu! Pu!
FEENA
What's wrong, Justin? Oh, I guess you're tired, hm?
JUSTIN
Well, you said it. I don't know . . . I wonder this wall really does
have a top . . .
FEENA
Wh-What's happened to you, Justin? It's not like you to suddenly say
something like that, is it?
JUSTIN
Well, but this is totally different than we thought! When are we gonna
decide that we're not gonna make it, huh?
FEENA
That . . . that's . . .
SUE (pick)
Ju-Justiin, Feenaa. Please stop fighting.
POOY
Pupupupuu~
JUSTIN (pick)
Aww, who the hell ever said we had to climb this wall in the first
place?
Let's go home already. We did our best. It was enough to climb this
far, right?
FEENA
Have you forgotten, Justin? Adventurers never give up. Didn't you say
that?
. . . Or was that just a lie?
JUSTIN
It wasn't a lie!! It wasn't a lie, I'm telling you . . . But . . .
FEENA (pick)
If I . . . If I had never met Justin, I don't think I would have ever
come to this kind of place.
I mean, I'm forgetting. The one who helped me to remember fun, and the
true meaning of adventure . . . that was you, Justin.
JUSTIN
Feena . . .
. . . Yeah, yeah, you're right! We're adventurers, aren't we!!
SUE
. . . Uh-huh! If the three of us work together, we'll make it over
this wall, definitely!
JUSTIN
All right! We're gonna do it! Wait for us, Riethe! We will absolutely
make it to Alent!!
SUE (pick)
That's right! We're adventurers, you know. We have to do our best
tomorrow too!!
POOY
Pupu! Pupuu!
FEENA (pick Justin)
Look Justin, Sue!! Look at the beautiful starry sky!
SUE
Wowww, really! It's wonderful . . .
FEENA
The top is almost certainly close, I believe. Let's work hard,
together!
*** The next morning, the three are awakened by a sight that seems impossible .
. and yet, it is undeniable. Despite the sun's position in the sky,
despite the fact that its light should be blocked from view by the wall at
this time of day, slender rays of light are shining down from close above
the group's heads.
JUSTIN
. . . Huh!? The rising sun is shining down! Even though until now, it
was blocked by the wall, and you couldn't see the sun until after noon
. . .
FEENA
. . . and that means that . . . !!
SUE
That's right! It's gotta be!!
JUSTIN
Okay! Let's go see!!
(If you try to walk back down the stairs here, Feena says the
following:)
FEENA
Come on, let's go! Together, we will cross the World's End!
*** Justin, Feena, and Sue race up the stairs toward the bright sunlight, and...
JUSTIN
. . . !!
FEENA
I guess . . . that there is no World's End after all . . .
. . . Look! The sunrise . . . !!
SUE
It's wonderful . . . It's as if the world were burning with a golden
fire . . .! Right Justin?
JUSTIN
. . . Ohh . . .
*** The three watch in awe for a long time as the sun lifts above the horizon,
bathing everything in view in a beautiful golden light. After an
indeterminable period of time, they at last turn their gazes to an
odd-looking machine moving atop the center of the wall.
SUE
Hey, what is that, I wonder?
JUSTIN
(Gulp) What the heck!? That thing's moving!?
*** Sue scurries past the strange machine to the edge of the wall to get a
better look at the other side.
SUE
Well, we got to the top, but how are we supposed to get down the other
side?
FEENA
Hmmm . . . we want to go down, but it doesn't seem like there's
anything we can use to do that, does there? It looks impossible to
climb down . . .
JUSTIN
Hey, can you hear that strange sound?
FEENA
Justin! Look!!
JUSTIN
Aaahh!!
*** Justin and Feena gawk in surprise as a strange, flying machine suddenly
zips out into the open and grabs Sue with a mechanical claw!
SUE
Eeek! What are you doing!?
JUSTIN
Wh-Wha . . . Sue!! Crap!! What are you doing to Sue!!
*** The machine, spinning and wobbling erratically, seems to gain control of
itself for a brief moment, and then, without warning, drops Sue off the
wall into the abyss below!
SUE
Justiiiin!!
JUSTIN
Waaahhh! Suuuuuue!!!!
FEENA
Eeeeeek!!!!
JUSTIN
Sue! Sue!! Damn it, I can't see her anymore . . . !
FEENA
Eek, Justin!?
*** Two more flying machines suddenly zoom toward Feena and Justin, each one
grappling its prey with mechanical claws before the two heroes can react!
FEENA
W-Wait a minute! Where do you think you're touching me!? Stop it! Stop
it, I said!!
JUSTIN
Wh-What the hell are you doing! Let us go! I said, let us go!!
*** The pair of machines obediently fly out over the clouds that obscure the
ground that lies far below on the other side of the wall, and hover in
place for a moment, steadying positions.
JUSTIN
Ahhh, no wait!! I take that back! Don't let us go!
Heeeyyy, Feenaaa! What're we gonna do!
FEENA
What're you asking me for!? Please, do something, Justiiin!
Eeeeeeeeeeeek!!
*** The mechanical claws release Justin and Feena, who plummet into the depths
below...
JUSTIN
Feenaaaaaaa!
FEENA
Justiiiiiin!!
***********************************

* 19 Hiryu Valley *

***********************************
*** A lone image of a rocky mountain that thrusts high up above a carpet of
lush vegetation is the only thing that stands out in what seems to be a sea
of chaotic dreams. At last, however, strange noises start to filter into
conscious thought from all around, and things that seemed uncertain begin
to swim into focus . . .
VOICE
. . . stin, Justin! Hang in there, Justin!
JUSTIN
Mm . . . Mmmmph . . .
*** Justin sits up groggily, his head aching.
JUSTIN
Mmmph . . .
FEENA
Justin!!
Justin, are you all right? Do you feel funny anywhere?
JUSTIN
. . . What's going on, Feena? I feel like I've slept for a long time,
but . . .
FEENA
Justin!!
*** Feena smothers Justin joyfully.
JUSTIN
Waaah!?
Wha-What's wrong, Feena? I can't . . . breathe . . . !
FEENA
Ahahaha, I'm so glad!! If you had died just like that, Justin, I don't
know what I would have done!
JUSTIN
Oh, that's right, we . . . We were tossed off of the top of World's
End!!
Feena, are you okay!?
FEENA
Uh-huh! I'm fine! My eyes are still going round and round a little,
but . . . I wonder how we were saved?
Luckily, we landed on top of this leaf . . . could that be it . . . ?
JUSTIN
Whoooah . . . so this is a leaf. It's incredible . . . it's so huge!
Where on earth is this place . . .
FEENA
Justin, look over there . . .
*** Justin and Feena turn to look at the giant wall that now lies behind them.
JUSTIN
We really . . . made it over the World's End, didn't we!! Awesome . .
.
I mean, this is an awesome place, isn't it? This is truly starting to
feel like an adventure, you know -- huh? Wait a minute . . .
That's right! Sue!? What happened to Sue!?
FEENA
I haven't found her yet. We separated during the fall, so . . .
But surely Sue should be close by. We've got to search for her
quickly!
JUSTIN
A-All right! At any rate, we'll find her! Let's go, Feena!!
*** And so, Justin and Feena head off into this strange new world, in search of
Sue. This place is literally alive, as plants of all kinds grow everywhere.
Giant flowers and ferns are commonplace here, as are man-eating plants and
greenery that moves at will. Savage hybrids of plant and animal look to
make to a meal of the two adventurers, and barbaric devil-men accost the
heroes at every turn. Justin & Feena press on, however, and before long
reach a river cutting through the rocky valleys that crisscross along the
otherwise green bottom of the Hiryuu Valley. As they wind their way through
one of the tighter paths separated by the rock walls and overgrown plant
creatures, Justin spots something on the path that seems quite out of order
in this place so abundant with life . . .
JUSTIN
Huh . . . ? A lost shoe . . .
*** A feeling of dread suddenly comes over the pair of heroes, and they rush to
pick up the all-too-familiar small red shoe.
JUSTIN
(Gulp) Th-This . . . This can't be Sue's shoe!!
*** Picked up Sue's shoe!!
*** Justin & Feena continue on, fearing the worst, yet neither one of them
daring to say another word. Hostile creatures run rampant here, stalking
the adventurers impartially. Suddenly, out of the myriad of mysterious
jungle noises comes a welcome, familiar cry . . .
POOY
PuPuu! Puu! Pu~u!!
JUSTIN
. . . ? Isn't that Pooy . . . ?
*** Pooy flies out of a clump of plants at top speed, circling Justin & Feena
excitedly.
POOY
PuppuPu PuppuPu PuPuPuu PuPu.
JUSTIN
Wa-Wait a minute! Pooy, slow down!! Sue, what happened to Sue!?
POOY
PuPuPu Puu Pu!? PuPuPuu. PuuPuu PuPuPu Puu!!
JUSTIN
Waaiit! I said slow down, Pooy!!
POOY
PuPu? PuPuPuPuuPu. PuPuppuPu PuuPuuPuu!
FEENA
Hang on, Justin! We're getting nowhere this way. Let's allow Pooy to
guide us!!
JUSTIN
R-right. You're right . . . Okay, we're counting on you, Pooy!!
POOY
PuPuu!
*** Pooy flies off along a nearby path and the pair follows. The path opens
into a wide clearing, where a small, makeshift house stands its ground in
the midst of the wild environment. Near the house is a cooking pot, boiling
and bubbling with vigor. Pooy stops and begins flying in circles around the
pot.
POOY
PuuPuPuppuu!! PuPu! PuPuPuPuPuu!!
JUSTIN
Pooy! Sue . . . What happened to Sue!?
FEENA
. . . ! Ju-Justin!! Look over there! See, next to the pot!
JUSTIN
Huh, next to the pot . . . ?
*** Justin & Feena run over toward the trendy little green bag lying on the
ground near the pot. This, too, is familiar.
JUSTIN
Th-This can't . . . be Sue's bag!! D-Don't tell me that . . . that pot
. . .
*** They gape at the pot in disbelief, unable to come to grips with the idea of
what has apparantly happened to poor Sue.
FEENA
Wh-Wh-Wha . . . What're we gonna do, Justin?
JUSTIN
D-Don't be stupid! Slow down, Feena!!
FEENA
B-But . . .
*** At that moment, a giant man, covered by a heavy, plated suit of armor and
wearing an enormous, horned helmet, strides into view. Justin & Feena,
upset and anxious to know what has happened to their friend, rush to
confront the man.
JUSTIN
Hey, you! Is that your pot!? Where's the stuff that was in it!!
GIANT MAN
If there was anything in the pot, I've eaten it up. There's nothing
left.
*** Unable to bear the horrible thought of her dear friend being cannibalized,
Feena groans and faints dead away.
JUSTIN
Feena!!
*** Justin rushes to Feena's side, kneeling next to her.
JUSTIN
Damn it!!
*** Unable to revive Feena, Justin rises, turns, and walks toward the man with
angry determination in his eyes. He draws his weapon, stepping into a
battle stance.
JUSTIN
All right, come on, let's go! Because of this, I'm gonna make stew out
of you too!!
GIANT MAN
Hmph! A duel, man-to-man, eh?
*** The man lifts a massive blade out of its scabbard and draws it skillfully
into a classic back middle position.
GIANT MAN
Very well! I accept your challenge!! I am Gadwyn, Knight of Daito!
*** Driven by anger as he is, Justin is still no match for the giant knight,
and quickly falls to the power of Gadwyn's mighty technique, Ryujinken.
Upon regaining consciousness later . . .
JUSTIN
Uh . . . Uhh . . .
FEENA & SUE
Justin!!
JUSTIN
Huh . . . Sue . . . ?
*** Justin scrambles to his feet in surprise.
JUSTIN
Wh-What are you doing here!? Weren't you made into stew . . . !
*** A handsome woman with warm and caring eyes, previously sitting nearby,
rises to her feet.
WOMAN
Ha ha ha ha. That is a dish Gadwyn prides himself on: Flying Dragon
stew.
JUSTIN
Wh-Who are you . . . ?
SUE
Gadwyn and Dr. Alma helped me after I passed out in the woods.
Dr. Alma's super nice. She's been just like a mom to me!
ALMA
I am Alma. I am the doctor of the village ahead of here called Daito.
But it was surprising. That this child would make Gadwyn, the
strongest swordsman in Daito, his opponent and duel with him, I never
would have. . .
*** The mouth of the strange-looking, fish-shaped house swings open, and Gadwyn
steps out of the mouth to talk to the group.
GADWYN
Alma, don't say such impolite things. That boy is an excellent
swordsman.
Such keen swordsmanship looks good for one so young . . . It felt good
to have such a battle after so long! Isn't that right, Justin?
ALMA
Good grief . . . Gadwyn, you're always like a child, saying that kind
of thing . . .
Well, since it seems like this child also is feeling better, I shall
return to Daito. I'll leave the rest to you, Gadwyn.
GADWYN
Alma, you seem like you're in a big hurry. Hmph! Oh no, the habitual
rains aren't . . . ?
ALMA
Yeah . . . it's that bad. People are beginning to pass out. I may
possibly have to stay up all night.
*** Without another word, Alma hurries off, her face grave.
JUSTIN
She left . . . even though I still hadn't even thanked her . . .
FEENA
Anyway, let's rest. C'mon, everyone!
*** Camp
JUSTIN
Sorry Gadwyn. Even though you'd helped Sue, I jumped to conclusions .
. .
SUE
Ahahaha! That's really just like you, Justin . . . since it was a
severe misunderstanding.
JUSTIN
But you know, it wasn't just me, was it? Feena was the one who
fainted.
Her eyes rolled so far up into her head!
FEENA
My . . . My eyes did not, either! Oooh! Justin, you jerk!
GADWYN
Waaah hah hah hah! . . . don't worry about it, don't worry about it!
It's a mistake anyone could have made.
FEENA (pick Justin)
. . . Hey, Justin? Do you want to ask Gadwyn some stuff about this
world?
I think it'll be useful for the adventures ahead, so . . .
FEENA (pick)
Still . . . just realizing that there was no end to the world made a
terrific impression on me . . .
But it was really a surprise to find people living over on this side
of the wall!
GADWYN
It's the same way for me. I never would have imagined, even in my
dreams, that people would come from the other side of the wall.
GADWYN (pick Feena)
When I first laid eyes on you, I sensed that you possessed great
skill.
How about it?! Shall we explore Dan Hibiki's super art together!?
FEENA
N-Now just a minute! Why does it have to come to that!?
SUE (pick)
You know, after I fainted, Gadwyn carried me on his shoulder back to
his house.
GADWYN
Iya, katsugou to shita toki ni wa kono marui no ni zuibun ketobasareta
zo. Wa ha ha ha! (Not sure how "kono marui" is supposed to fit in here
. . . the kanji for marui here is the one that means "round", but . .
.)
No, when I went to put you on my shoulder, you completely refused!
Waah hah hah hah!
SUE
Pooy intended to protect me, too! Isn't that right, Pooy?
POOY
PuPuu! Puu!
SUE (pick)
Hey, by the way Gadwyn, why are you living alone in a place like this,
where there are only flying dragons, huh?
GADWYN
To train, of course. Even the tough flying dragons who have grown up
lose their lives . . .
My path in life is as that of a warrior . . . I must look at life and
death at all times. I believe that this is the way of a man.
GADWYN (pick)
By the way Justin, is it really true, as you say, that the three of
you crossed that huge wall?
JUSTIN
My story about the World's End is true, of course! We've come from
across the wall on an adventure to search for the ruins of Enjoule
civilization!
GADWYN
Hm, it's hard for me to believe your story so suddenly, but . . . we
are friends who have dueled, man-to-man. When I look into your eyes, I
can tell that you are not lying!
If there's anything I can do for you, I'll do everything in my power
to do it. Anything you want to know?
*** 3 Choices
1) Where in the world is this place, anyway?
2) Do you know any place called Alent around here?
3) Is the woman doctor Alma your sweetheart?
*** Choose 2
GADWYN
Hm, I don't know what this thing you are looking for is like, but it
certainly has to be far to the south.
I've heard from people in my village that there's an ancient ruin of
Enjoule remaining there.
JUSTIN
What! Really !? That's gotta be Alent!!
Feena, Sue! We're leaving immediately! Quickly, let's get ready
quickly!
FEENA
Ahaha! No way, Justin! Alent isn't going to run away, you know.
GADWYN
Ha ha ha. Sono iseki wa koko kara nannichi mo arukaneba tadoritsukenu
hodo tooi chi da.
Temae ni aru Daito no mura made nara, washi ga annaishite yarou. Soko
de nagatabi no junbi o suru no ga yokarou.
Ha ha ha. The land where those ruins is quite far to reach from here,
no matter how many days you walk.
I will guide you to the village of Daito. It would be very well to
prepare for a long trip after arriving there. (Not sure what "temae ni
aru" means in this context)
GADWYN (pick)
If there's anything I can do for you, I'll do everything in my power
to do it. Anything you want to know?
(Return to the choices above)
*** Choose 3
GADWYN
No, Alma is only a childhood friend. I live alone in this remote place
to train, but sometimes Alma visits me, offering medicine or to mend
my clothing.
FEENA
Hmmm, that sounds like more than a childhood friend . . .
SUE
It does. I think Gadwyn's kinda hiding his feelings, don't you?
JUSTIN
By the way, Alma . . . Her face looked so serious . . . did something
happen at the village?
GADWYN
Yes . . . Lately, something a little troublesome has been happening in
Daito.
Daito is a fishing village on the seashore ahead of here.
It once was a village with a rich supply of delicious fish that could
be caught . . .
I'm sorry, but I'm not very good at telling long stories. I'll guide
you to the village later, and it would be very well if you get the
details from Alma at that time.
GADWYN (pick)
If there's anything I can do for you, I'll do everything in my power
to do it. Anything you want to know?
(Return to the choices above)
*** Choose 1
GADWYN
This place is called Hiryuu Valley. It's the closest place to the
World's End, and the most violent mountainous region in the world.
It's the perfect place for a man to train and improve his skills with
a sword.
FEENA
That's right . . . In this world, this place appears to be the World's
End as well.
In our world, it's kind of like how the Great Forest of Mist is, isn't
it . . .
GADWYN
I was quite surprised, then, to find a little girl passed out in a
place like this. Wah ha ha!
JUSTIN
You've helped us in a lot of ways, Gadwyn. You saved Sue for us and
such . . .
I'll make sure that I repay you this debt! If you're ever in some kind
of trouble, we'll lend a hand.
GADWYN
Hmm . . . So, Justin, can we think of that as a promise between men,
then?
*** 2 Choices
1) Such a formal promise isn't . . .
2) Of course! A promise between men, then!

I can't trust you unless it's a promise between men . . .
If you're a man, then your word is your unbreakable promise . . .
SUE (pick)
A promise between men, huh . . .? Isn't that okay?! Promise him,
Justin!
FEENA (pick)
A promise between men is . . . Don't give your word without thinking
about it, Justin.
JUSTIN (pick Gadwyn)
Gadwyn . . . You're an awfully formal guy, aren't you . . .
. . . Well, anyway, if you're ever in some kind of trouble, we'll lend
a hand.
GADWYN
Fumu . . . Justin yo. Sore wa otoko to otoko no yakusoku da to

Hmm . . . So, Justin, can we think of that as a promise between men,
then?
(Return to the choices above)

GADWYN
Hmm . . . men are none other than this! I, Gadwyn, have your binding
word.
SUE (pick)
We're going to Daito with Gadwyn, right? Let's hurry up and go,
Justin!
FEENA (pick)
Are you sure this is gonna be okay? To promise him so rashly . . .
I've got a bad feeling about this, but . . .
GADWYN (pick)
All right! Since we have exchanged promises, Justin, you are now my
friend.
Friend, tomorrow we will go to Daito village. For now, it is time to
rest.
GADWYN (pick Justin)
Hmm . . . Well, let's sleep . . . Tomorrow, I will guide you to the
village of Daito.
JUSTIN
Daito, huh . . . I wonder what kind of place it's gonna be? I'm
looking forward to it, aren't you Feena? Sue?
*** The group slowly drops off into slumber. When the morning sun rises the
following morning, everyone awakens, packs up belongings, and quickly
prepares to continue through Hiryu Valley toward the village of Daito . . .

Koko ga Daito no mura da. Sugu soko ni yado ga aru. Annaishite yarou

This is the village of Daito. There is an inn right there. I thought
that I would guide you there, but . . .

. . . Hm? What's wrong, Gadwyn?
GADWYN
Sakki kara ki ni natteita no da ga, kita kara no kumo ga sora o

Nande sonna ni ame ga ki ni naru no kashira . . . ?
He left . . . He sure seemed like he was in a big hurry, but . . .
Why would he care so much about rain coming . . . ?
(If you go to the Elder's house, you'll see that the giant knight and
the village Elder appear to be engaged in a serious conversation.)
(If you speak to Gadwyn . . .)
GADWYN

those clouds, I felt a chill run along my spine . . .
. . . hm? Oh, it's you . . . Excuse me, but I need to speak with the
Elder here just a little more.
I believe there is a place you can stay at around here, so would you
please head over there? Once my talk with the Elder has finished, I
will immediately go there as well.

Ah, it's you! So you've come to visit me? I just finished treating
patients a little while ago.
As I expected, it's that Tower of Rain and Moon that's the cause of all of
this... I've recently come to understand very well the patients whom I take
into my care . . . I have a feeling I've made a terrible mistake.
From now on, I'm going to be very busy, so it would be best if you all
relax and rest well.
(If you speak to Alma again . . .)
ALMA
Sore ni shite mo, ano kumo wa . . . Daiji ni naraneba yoi no da ga ...
Still, those clouds . . . We ought to take them seriously, but . . .
(If you go to the inn, you'll meet up with an usually long-eared
creature who is musing to himself aloud.)
LONG-EARED CREATURE
U~n . . . Alma-sensei no tokoro ni kusuri o todokete wa mita kedo . .

Oufukusuru hitsuyou ga aru yo ne. U~n, taihen da naa.
Kedo . . . Oira no kusuri de minna ga genki ni natte, oira no futokoro

Subarashii tte omou yo ne?
Hmm . . . I saw to delivering medicine to Dr. Alma . . . but it didn't
seem like enough at all.
I'll have to leave and come back, then, eh? (Sigh) What a pain in the butt.
But... if everybody gets well from my medicine, my sales'll heat up too.
What a wonderful idea, you know?!
JUSTIN
Ee!? Totsuzen iwarete mo naa . . .
Huh!? That creature said . . . (literal: "mutant", but this sounds
really derogatory to me)
LONG-EARED CREATURE
Datte minna shiawase ni natterun da yo.
Subarashii koto ja nai ka.
Because everyone will be happy, you see.
Isn't that a wonderful thing?
SUE
Suggoo~~i! Shaberu usagi nante hajimete mita~a.
Wooowww! It's the first time I've ever seen a talking bunny!
*** Sue excitedly dashes over to get a better look at the bunny.
SUE
Nee, chotto dake sawarasete kunnai?
Hey, can I just touch you for a minute?
*** Sue stands up on the tips of her toes and stretches her arm out to quickly
touch an inquistive finger to one of the bunny's long, soft-looking ears.
The creature leaps up indignantly and Sue shrinks back, startled.
LONG-EARED CREATURE
Nandai, kimitachi wa!? Sakki kara hito no koto usagi, usagi tte . . .
Oira ni iwaserya, kabe no mukou kara kita kimitachi no hou ga
hentekona ikimono ni mien da ze.
What the heck is wrong with all of you!? Since you came in, all you've
been saying is "a bunny, a bunny!" . . .
If you ask me, it's you guys who've come from across the wall who look
like strange creatures!
JUSTIN
E? Nande oretachi ga kabe koete kita no shitten da yo?
Huh? How did you know that we've come from across the wall?
FEENA
Anata wa ittai . . . ?
Who in the world are you . . . ?
The creature jumps easily out from behind the table to stand in front of
the group, and grins.
LONG-EARED CREATURE
Oira wa Jilpadon no Gido. Sekaijuu o kakemeguru gyoushounin sa.
I am Gido of Jilpadon. I am a peddler who travels 'round the world!
(Talk to Gido)
GIDO
Tokoro de kimitachi, oiratachi Mogezoku ni tsutawaru. Konna kotowaza o
shitteru kai?
By the way, my people are known as the Moge. Do you all know of the
proverb that goes along with them?
JUSTIN
Kotowaza nanka doudemoiikara. Nande oretachi no koto shitten no ka
oshie . . .
Never mind the proverb. How do you know who we a--
*** Gido continues talking, ignoring Justin decidedly.
GIDO
"Hito wa daremo ga yakuwari o motte umarete kuru." Kimi datte sou sa,
Justin.
"When there are no people with roles to play, he will be born." That's
you, Justin. (Did I translate this proverb correctly?)
JUSTIN
Dakara kotowaza nanka doudemo... ii !? O-Ore no namae made shitten no!?
I said, never mind the . . . proverb!? Y-You even know my name!?
GIDO
Moge wa nandemo shitteru. Souiu shuzoku na no sa, oiratachi wa.
The Moge know everything. That's the way our race is, you see.
(Speak to Gido again)
GIDO
Justin, kimi ga "ooku no kotae o nozomu mono" nara, kimi wa tabi o
tsudzukenakya ikenai.
Tabi o tsudzuketeireba, ironna koto ga miete kuru hazu sa. Sekai ya
seirei no koto, soshite jibun no koto . . .
. . . Saa, sorosoro shuppatsu no junbi o hajimenakya. Shouhin no
shiire ni aida ni awanaku naru kara ne.
Justin, if you are "the one who hopes for many answers", you must
continue your journey.
If you continue your travels, you'll see many things. You'll learn
about the world and spirit, and about yourself . . .
. . . Well, soon I'll have to prepare to leave. I'm going to miss my
chance to stock up on my goods if I don't, you know.
JUSTIN
Ma-Matte kure! Hitotsu dake oshiete kure!
Kimitachi Mogezoku wa Alent no koto mo shitteru no ka!?
W-Wait! Just tell me one thing!
Do the Moge know about Alent, too?
GIDO
. . .

Kimi ga tabi o tsudzukerun nara, mata dokoka de kitto deau sa.
Tsudzuki wa sono toki hanasu koto ni shiyou.
. . .
Maybe we do, and maybe we don't. That is my answer for now.
If you do continue your journey, we will surely meet again somewhere.
Let's speak again at that time.
(If you speak to Gido again . . .)
GIDO
Kimi ga tabi o tsudzukerun nara, mata dokoka de kitto deau sa.</pre><pre id="faqspan-6">
Tsudzuki wa sono toki hanasu koto ni shiyou.
Moge wa dokonidemo arawareru. Souiu shuzoku no sa, oiratachi wa.
If you do continue your journey, we will surely meet again somewhere.
Let's speak again at that time.
The Moge can be anywhere. That's the way our race is, you see.
(If you speak to the innkeeper here . . .)
INNKEEPER
Oyaoya, tabi no katagata desu ne. Doumo irasshai! Otomari ni narimasu
kai?
Well, well! . . . travellers, I see. Welcome! Will you be staying
here?
*** 3 Choices
1) Sudomari de yoroshiku.
1) We'd like to stay, please.
2) Quit
3) Data save
*** Choose 1
INNKEEPER
Osudomari desu ne? Heihei! 3 na-sama go annaii~
You will be staying, then? Please, please! Let me show you three to .
. .
*** Night falls, and the three adventurers drift off to sleep still wondering
what all the fuss is about in Daito. Gadwyn shows up at the inn at a rather
late hour, and the next morning, Justin inquires about it.
JUSTIN
Doushitan da yo, Gadwyn? Kinou wa zuibun osokunatte kara yado ni
kaette kita mitai dakedo . . .
What's going on, Gadwyn? Yesterday it sounded like you came to the inn
pretty late, but . . .
*** Gadwyn turns to face Justin, looking concerned.
GADWYN
Umu . . . Chourou to no hanashi ga nagabiite na. Maa, ame sae
furanakereba, nani mo mondai wa nai no da ga . . .
Mm . . . My conversation with elder dragged on. Well, if it doesn't
rain, there won't be a problem, but . . .
FEENA
Ame . . . ? Sakki soto o mietara mou futteta wa yo.
Rain . . . ? When I looked outside a while ago, it was already
starting to fall.
*** Gadwyn suddenly looks shocked.
GADWYN
Nani! I-Ikan!!
What! N-No, it can't!!
*** The giant knight runs off, obviously upset.
JUSTIN
Doushitan da Gadwyn, ikinari!
What's wrong with Gadwyn all of a sudden?!
OUTSIDE OF THE INN
GADWYN
Mumu . . . Tashika ni ame ga . . . Kore wa taihen da!
Hmph . . . It's raining, all right . . . This is terrible!
*** Justin, Feena, and Sue step out of the inn just in time to watch as Gadwyn
runs off toward the center of the village.
SUE
Doushita no ka na, Gadwyn? Ame gurai de hen na noo!
What's the matter with Gadwyn, I wonder? It's weird that he's acting
this way about something like rain!
*** Feena looks thoughtful, her face serious.
FEENA
Uun, chigau wa . . . Douyara tada ame ja nai mitai ne. Watashitachi mo
itte mimashou!
Uh-uh, that's not true . . . Somehow, this doesn't seem to be just
rain. Let's go and see, too, shall we?!
(If you run off towards the center of the village, you'll see that the
Elder is speaking to Gadwyn and some of the other residents of the
village.)
ELDER
. . . shittoru ja rou, Gadwyn? Seirei no kago o ushinaishi, Ugetsu no
tou no koukei o . . .
Doku no ame ni yotte itarametsukerareta daichi. Magamagashiku somatta
shi no kawa ano koukei o me no atari ni shite orou?
. . . You know, don't you Gadwyn? We have lost the divine protection
of spirit, and the scene of the Tower of Rain and Mooon is . . .
The earth is being tortured by the poisonous rain. The dead rivers
stained with ill-omen are just like that which can determined from the
scene, aren't they?
GADWYN
Mochiron, wakatteiru . . . Yagate doku no ame wa akaku kawari, shi no
ame to naru koto mo na . . .
Soshite, Daito o sukuu tame ni wa denshou no toori Ugetsu no tou ni
nobori, yuusha no yari o mochikaeru shika nai . . .
Yes, of course, I understand . . . Before long, the poisonous rain
will turn red, and become rain of death . . .
And to save Daito, there is nothing that can be done except to climb
the Tower of Rain and Moon to the path of transmission, and then bring back
the Spear of Heroes.
ELDER
Dakara, itte oru no ja. Kono yuusha no udewa o uketotte kure to! Daito
o sukuutte kure to na!!
That is why I say this to you: Please accept this Bracelet of Heroes!
Please, save our village of Daito!!
GADWYN
Washi wa sude ni kakugo o kimeteiru. Muda ni shugyou o tsunde kita
wake dewa nai kara na.
Da ga, chourou yo . . . wasurete oran ka? Yuusha no yari o te ni ireru

Watashi hitori de itte mo saigo no shiren o norikoerareru ka dou ka
wakaranai no dakara na!
I have already prepared for this. My training would have been useless
otherwise.
But, my lord . . . aren't you forgetting something? To procure the
Spear of Heroes, two heroes are required!
If I go alone, I still do not know how I could overcome the last
trial!
ELDER
Da ga, onushi shika oran no da yo. Yuusha to yoberu sonzai wa na . . .
But Gadwyn, there's no one else here besides you. Anyone else existing
who could be called a hero isn't . . .
GADWYN
Fumu . . . komatta . . .
Hmmm . . . I am at a loss.
JUSTIN
Nanda yo Gadwyn!! Ore ga issho ni itte yaru yo!
I know, Gadwyn!! I'll go with you!!
*** Justin comes running up to meet the group of villagers.
ELDER
Nanja . . . Mada honno kodomo dewa nai ka. Sono kimochii ga ureshii
nou . . .
What . . . you're just a child. I am happy that you feel determined to
help, but . . .
GADWYN
Chourou, anadotte wa ikan zo. Justin wa ano sekai no hate o koete kita
hodo no kyousha da!
My lord, you musn't make light of him. Justin is none other than the
man who came from across the World's End!
ELDER
Na-Nan to? Ano hate shinai kabe o konna kodomo ga!?
Wh-What? This child . . . not the wall at the end of the world!?
*** Gadwyn steps up to Justin, eyeing him seriously.
GADWYN
Justin . . . Korekara ikaneba naranu Ugetsu no tou wa osoroshiku
kikenna basho da.
Seirei no kago ga nakereba, sono inochi sara ushinau koto ni narou.
Honrai naraba chikadzuku koto mo yurusaren no da. Soredemo, soredemo
itte kureru no ka?
Justin . . . The Tower of Rain and Moon that I must go to is a terrible,
dangerous place.
Without the divine protection of spirit, you may lose your very life.
I could never forgive myself if something happened to you. Even yet,
even yet . . . do you still want to go?
JUSTIN
Kiken o osoretetanjaa, boukensha nante tsutomannain da!
Sore ni sa! Otoko to otoko no yakusokushita jan ka! Komatta toki wa
tasukeautte sa!!
Fear of danger isn't fit for an adventurer!
And besides, we made a promise between men, didn't we?! When there's
trouble, we'll help each other!!
GADWYN
Gaa ha ha ha, sou de atta! Omae to kono washi to wa otoko to otoko o
chikai atta, naka de atta!
Gaaaahh hah hah hah! . . . that's right! You and I swore an oath,
man-to-man . . . as friends!
*** Gadwyn turns to face the Elder again.
GADWYN
Chourou! Denshou no toori futari no yuusha ga sorotta no da! Kore de
Daito no mura wa sukuwareru zo!!
My lord! The path of transmission has been completed by the two of us!
With this in mind, we can save the village of Daito!!
ELDER
Oo! Kesshinshite kureta ka!!
Saa, futari tomo koko e . . . Kono densetsu no yuusha no udewa o
sazukeyou. Fusawashii nushi o ete, hikari kagayaku de arou.
Daito no yuusha ni seirei no michibiki ga aran koto o!
Oh! So you have determined a way!!
Well, then to you two . . . allow me to grant this legendary Bracelet
of Heroes. Give it to its rightful master, and its light will shine
brilliantly.
Let spirit guide these heroes of Daito!
*** Just then, Feena and Sue, who appear to have been listening to the
converstaion, approach the group. Feena looks rather serious.
FEENA
Justin . . . Honto ni iku ki na no?
Justin . . . Are you really serious about going?
JUSTIN
Mochiron sa! Otoko to otoko no yakusokunan da ze.
Hehehe, mite kure yo, Feena. Kakko ii darou?
Of course I am! This was a promise between men, you know.
Heh heh heh, look Feena. Don't I look cool?
*** Feena steps right up to Justin, about to give him a piece of her mind.
FEENA
Nani ga otoko to otoko no yakusoku yo! Yuusha nante iwarete
maiagatteru dake ja nai! (What does "maiagatteiru" mean?)
Wazawaza kikenna koto ni kubi o tsukkomu nante boukensha toshite wa
niryuu . . . uun, sanryuu na no yo!!
What's your man-to-man promise about?! Calling you a hero doesn't just
make you one!
If you're always sticking your neck into danger, then you're no better
than a second-rate . . . no, a third-rate adventurer!!
SUE
Doushita no Feena . . . Doushite sonna ni okotteiru no . . . ? Nanka
itsumo to chigau mitai.
What's the matter, Feena? . . . Why are you so mad . . . ? You're
acting differently than you usually do.
JUSTIN
Sou da yo. Nanka hen da ze? Kikenna koto ni chousensuru kara boukensha
nan jan ka!
Daijoubu! Umaku iku tte! Ima made mo zutto sou datta darou?
She's right, Feena. Isn't there something wrong with you? Aren't we
adventurers because we challenge danger?!
It's all right! Let's go, and with no hard feelings. We've always been
friendly before now, right?
FEENA
Justin . . .
GADWYN
Yooshi, Justin! Kakugo wa dekiteiru you da na. Soredewa, sassoku
shuppatsu da!
Mezasu Ugetsu no tou wa Daito no mura no kita ni aru!
All right, Justin! It seems like we're ready, so let's leave right
away!
Our goal, the Tower of Rain and Moon, lies north of Daito village!
(If you speak to the Elder before leaving . . .)
ELDER
Tanomu zo. Onushitachi dake ga tayori da.
Ugetsu no tou no saijoukai ni aru yuusha no yari o mochikaeri, kono
Daito no mura o sukuutte kure . . .
Gadwyn yo, onushi nara dekiru, washi wa sou shinjite oru zo.
We're counting on you. You are the only ones we can rely upon.
Please, bring back the Spear of Heroes from the top floor of the
Tower of Rain and Moon, and save our village of Daito . . .
Gadwyn, if anyone can do it, I believe you can.
(If you speak to the Elder again . . .)
ELDER
Kanarazu ya, Ugetsu no tou no saijoukai ni aru yuusha no yari o
hikinuite kuru no da. Washi wa onushitachi o shinjite oru zo.!
Be sure to pull out the Spear of Heroes from the top floor of the
Tower of Rain and Moon. I believe in you all!
*** The group sets out for the Tower of Rain and Moon that looms ominously
to the north, determined to save the village of Daito . . .
************************************
* *
* 21 Mountain of Rain and Moon *
* *
************************************
*** The party soon reaches the mountains that lie to the north of Daito
village, and begin the trek up into the foothills through the pouring rain.
Poisonous rivers of vile sludge flow through furrows that run down from the
peaks and in between the smaller mounds of rock. The downhill progress of
the rivers is further aided by the downpour, and the combination of falling
rain plus poison-filled muck creates a perfect breeding ground for fungi of
many types. Mushrooms larger than even Gadwyn grow here and there, while
some that are not so large cling to the steep, rocky cliffs like steps,
allowing the party to ascend parts of the foothills which would otherwise
be too treacherous to climb. Giant, plant-like creatures, similar to the
ones found near World's End, but more sinister and eerie, roam the hills in
droves here. Nevertheless, the four heroes press on, and soon find
themselves closing in on the steeper part of the mountain range.
*** Gadwyn pauses briefly, a strange contrast to his recently usual sense of
urgency. The sound of the rain striking the tormented earth makes even his
deep voice a bit difficult to hear.
GADWYN
Ame ga tsuyokunatte kite iru . . . Seirei no kago ga sukunakunatte
kita to iu koto ka . . .
The rains are becoming stronger . . . Is this the divine protection of
spirit fading . . . ?
FEENA
Nee . . . Yappari hikikaesubeki yo. Kore ijou susumu to kiken da wa,
kitto!
You know . . . We should turn back, after all. If we advance any
further from here, there's surely going to be danger!
JUSTIN
Daijoubu da yo, Feena! Ore ga iru jan ka!
It'll be okay, Feena! I'm here, aren't I?!
FEENA
Mou! Souiu koto ja nai no! Nani ka iyana yokan ga suru no yo . . .
Stop it, already! That's not what I'm talking about! I've got a bad
feeling about this . . .
*** The group starts to move forward again, but Justin, abashed though he is by
Feena's remark, speaks up after a few steps.
JUSTIN
Are? Doushita no ka na!? Nanka shintai ga piripirisuru . . .
Huh? What's happening, I wonder!? My body feels hot, or something...
*** Gadwyn looks shocked by Justin's statement, but his fearful expression
betrays his knowledge of a terrible situation.
GADWYN
Ikan! Kono atari no ame wa doku no ame da!! Mamonaku kono ame wa
akakukawaru!
Nokosareta jikan wa ato wazuka da! Isogu zo, Justin!!
No! The rain around here is poisonous!! Before long, it will become red!
Our time remaining is short! Hurry, Justin!!
*** The party continues on, moving up along the inclined terrain steadily, yet
still unable to see their goal ahead. Their current surroundings are what
demand immediate attention, however, for the landscape has suddenly become
dotted with mushrooms large as houses . . . and apparently, the great
growths are indeed houses to strange, foul-looking creatures who live
inside of them. These creatures are known as the Krepp, beings who appear
to be akin to vultures, and look just as ugly, but which are humanoid in
stature and appear to more intelligent than mere animals. Though their
language is guttural and unfamilar, it seems all too clear that the Krepp
are not in the least bit happy to see the adventurers, and they attack the
party savagely, using weapons that are surprisingly well-made and even
crude forms of sorcery in attempts to beat the heroes down. Gadwyn, Justin,
Feena, and Sue still doggedly continue up into the mountains, however,
despite battling the seemingly endless hordes of enemies seething around
them. At last, the party walks out from a cluster of mushroom houses into a
clear area, where they can see a tall, semi-organic stucture looming high
above the rest of the natural buildings, and the group realizes that they
have reached their destination: The Tower of Rain and Moon.
**************************************
* *
* 22 The Tower of Rain and Moon *
* *
**************************************
*** The architecture seems to indicate that this was once an elegantly
constructed spire, but upon entering the Tower of Rain and Moon, the heroes find
that it has been overrun by the vile Krepp. The monsters have claimed the
tower for their own, turning what was before most likely a place of beauty
and tranquility into a squalid, overpopulated barracks for their kind. The
walls and floors are covered with fungi, even more so than the mountains
outside, and the rooms are littered with barrels, stray weapons, and
miscellaneous junk. Of course, the Krepp are everywhere as well, and are
extremely angered by the intrusion of the despised humans, with whom they
battle fiercely at every turn. Despite the overwhelming odds, the party
works to make their way through the twisting hallways, avoiding the traps
set by the Krepp as best they can.
*** Eventually, the group steps up into the third floor of the tower to find
themselves in a massive chamber. In the center of the chamber, resting on
top of a huge, green, crystalline dais, is a throne much larger than one
suitable for any man to sit upon. A lone Krepp stands hunchbacked in front
of the massive throne, and turns to face the adventurers as they approach
the dais. The birdman's rasping voice, though unintellible, bears an
unmistakeably hostile attitude.
KREPP
Guagerattsu! Zupadou gidabeba!
Gwagehrattsu! Zupadow geedah bebah!
GADWYN
Mu . . . are ka! Kureppu o hikiiteiru no wa kokoroshite kakare,
Justin!
Hmph . . . so that's the one! Deal with this leader of the Krepp with
care, Justin!
JUSTIN
Makasetokette!! Kedo saa . . . yowasou da yo naa, aitsu.
You got it!! But, y'know . . . he looks pretty wimpy.
KREPP
Geeeeee!
Geeeeeh!
*** The Krepp screeches, and charges down toward Justin, swinging its sickle
wildly. It spins and leaps into the air, and as it lands, a black aura
begins to pulsate around its body. Space around and within the creature's
form seems to contort in upon itself, and when the laws of physics appear
to have sorted themselves out again, in place of the frail-looking Krepp
towers an enormous, four-headed serpent!
JUSTIN
Ge, kawarimi shiyagatta!!
(Gulp) It mutated!! (lit: converted, adapted)
GADWYN
Hirumuna, Justin!! Chikara o awasereba, katenu aite dewa nai. Iku zo!!
Don't flinch, Justin!! If we work together, as comrades, we cannot
lose. Let's go!!
*** The giant serpent is a fearsome opponent, but still it is no match for the
power of the four heroes. Victory!
SUE
Yatta ne, Justin! Ato wa yuusha no yari o nuku dake ne!
We did it, Justin! Now we just have to draw out the Spear of Heroes!
GADWYN
Umu, migoto da, Justin. Iyoiyo ato wa saigo no shiren o nokosu nomi!
Mmm, well done, Justin. Finally, the only thing left is the last
trial!
JUSTIN
Sousou! Nokotteru no wa saigo no shiren dake . . . tte.
Ee!? Sakki no kaibutsu ga saigo no shiren dattan ja nai no ka yo!?
Yeah, yeah! The only thing left is the final . . . trial.
Huh!? You mean, that monster wasn't the final trial!?
GADWYN
Chikara dake de taoseru you na mono naraba, washira rekisen no yuushi
ni totte ma no shiren to wa yobenu.
Kokokara saki koso ga washi to omae no otoko ga tamesareru basho na no
da. Saa, iku zo, Justin!
If it were something that only required strength, it wouldn't be a
serious trial for veterans like ourselves.
You and I will be truly tested from here on. So let's go, Justin!
*** Behind the throne is a massive crystalline plate set into the floor. Justin
steps onto the plate, and the decorative columns of stone begin to to
shift, rumbling as they move. The pillars eventually reach positions where
they make the shape of an arc, and each one sinks into the floor to a
specific depth. Once again, all of the columns lock into position, and the
top of each splits into circular wedges of stone. The pieces slide into
place, forming a series of steps leading up from the lowest column, whose
top is close enough to the floor of the chamber to reach, to the highest
one. The stone plate on top of the highest pillar dematerializes, and a
column of light shines up from within the pillar of stone.
*** The party climbs the series of platforms to reach the top, and step into
the column of light. Its brightness briefly envelopes them and then fades,
revealing that the surroundings have changed. The group now stands at the
bottom of a long staircase, surrounded by blackness. Bravely forging ahead,
the heroes ascend the stairs and step up into another chamber, though this
one not quite as large as the last. The room is carved from blue stone, and
the floor of the chamber depicts a starry night sky with the planets
visible in the heavens. Two mirrors stand on opposite sides of the chamber,
and a stone monolith with an inscription rests against the wall between
them.
JUSTIN
Rere? Ikitomari jan ka. Doko ni anda yo, yuusha no yari nante.
What the . . .? This looks like a dead end. Where do we find this
thing, the Spear of Heroes?
GADWYN
. . . Justin yo. Koko unmei no kagami no aida de subete ga owaru.
Kono heya koso ga kono tou no yuusha ni ataerareru saigo no shiren na
no da!
. . . Justin. Here, within the Mirrors of Fate, everything ends.
For inside this room, within this tower, is the final trial to obtain
the Spear of Heroes!
JUSTIN
Saigo no shiren . . .
The final trial . . .
GADWYN
Shiren no naiyou wa sono sekiban ni kisareteiru yonde miru ga ii,
Justin.
It would be best if you read of the requirements of the trial recorded
upon that stone tablet there, Justin.
*** Justin, Feena, and Sue move over to look at the stone tablet, while Gadwyn
steps toward the back of the room.
JUSTIN
. . . ??? Oi Gadwyn, nante kaitean no ka. Sappari wakannai ze.
. . . ??? Hey Gadwyn, what's written here? I can't understand it at
all.
GADWYN
Kono sekiban ni wa kou kakareteiru . . .
. . . Unmei o kirihirakou to suru mono yo. Tsuki no kagami to hoshi no
kagami, izureka no michi o erabu ga yoi.
Hitotsu wa mirai e to tsuuji ima, hitotsu wa . . . shi no kuni e to
tsuzuru de arou.
It is written upon the stone tablet as this:
You who seek to slice open the Mirrors of Fate should choose your path
. . . the Mirror of the Moon, or the Mirror of Stars.
One leads to the future, and one leads . . . to the Realm of the Dead.
*** The three look shocked as Gadwyn's reluctant explanation comes to a close,
and they anxiously rush over to confront him.
FEENA
Sore tte . . . machigatta kagami o erandara, shinjau tte koto? Saisho
kara shitteta no ne, Gadwyn!?
That means . . . that if you choose the wrong mirror, you'll die? You
knew this all along, didn't you Gadwyn!?
JUSTIN
Gadwyn ga hitori ja Daito o sukuenai tte iita no wa kouiu koto datta
no ka . . .
So this is what you meant when you said that you couldn't save the
village of Daito alone . . .
*** Gadwyn turns to face the party, his expression fiercely stern and
determined.
GADWYN
Anzuruna, Justin. Omae o shinasehasen . . . Kagami wa mazu washi
hairu.
Do not be afraid, Justin. I will not allow you to die . . . I will
enter a mirror first.
JUSTIN
Chotto matte yo, Gadwyn! Moshimo . . . moshimo da ze, sono eranda
michi ga machigattetara . . .
Hang on a minute, Gadwyn! If . . . If the path you choose is wrong . .
.
GADWYN
Sono toki wa Justin . . . Omae ga nokosareta kagami ni hairu no da!
Michi wa machigainaku mirai e to tsuujiteiru.
If that happens, Justin . . . You will enter the remaining mirror! It
will lead to the future without fail.
JUSTIN
Baka, sonna koto kiiterun ja nai! Sorette Gadwyn ga shinjau tte koto
darou!
Ma-Masaka Gadwyn. Hajimekkara sono tsumori de . . . !?
No, damn it, that's not what I'm talking about! If that happens,
you'll die!
I don't believe this, Gadwyn . . . You intended from the beginning to
. . . !?
GADWYN
Omae wa tabinin no mi de arinagara, washira no mura o sukou to shite
kureta . . . Omae no otokoke ni washi ga kotaeyou.
Sonna kao o suruna. Washi ga shinda toki, Daito o sukuu no wa Justin,
omae na no da zo.
Even though you were just a traveler, you offered to save our village
. . . I shall answer your spirit as a man with that of my own.
Don't make such a face. If I die, the one who saves Daito will be you,
Justin.
*** With those words, Gadwyn turns and walks towards the tablet, prepared to
sacrifice his life if necessary to save his village.
SUE
Shinja yada, Gadwyn!!
Don't die, Gadwyn!!
GADWYN
Otoko ni wa inochi kakete demo yaritogeneba naranu koto ga aru no da .
. .
There are some tasks a man must carry out, even at the risk of his own
life . . .
FEENA
Gadwyn . . . Kitto kaette kite ne. Seirei no kago o inotteru kara . .
.
Gadwyn . . . You'll come back. I will pray for the divine protection
of spirit to watch over you . . .
*** Reaching the trial tablet, Gadwyn makes the fateful decision.
GADWYN
Wa ga na wa Gadwyn! Shiren no sekiban yo, ima seirei no michibiki ni
shitagai . . .
I am Gadwyn! Trial tablet, I now obey the guidance of spirit by . . .
*** Gadwyn turns to face the mirror on the right-hand side of the chamber.
GADWYN
. . . tsuki no kagami o erabu! Hirake, tsuki no kagami yo!
. . . choosing the Mirror of the Moon! Open, Mirror of the Moon!
*** As a soft glow of white light begins to shine forth from within the mirror,
Gadwyn turns to face Justin for what may be the last time.
GADWYN
Saraba da, Justin!
Farewell, Justin!
JUSTIN
. . . Gadwyn!
. . . Gadwyn!
*** With that, Gadwyn steps toward the Mirror of the Moon, intending to enter
the gateway regardless of the cost. Gadwyn takes his final steps toward the
mirror and then . . . stops. A clanking of something metallic can be heard.
The giant knight steps forward, and once again the sound of metal clashing
upon metal fills the chamber. Gadwyn breaks into a run, and the metallic
noises escalate into a cacaphony of crashing sounds. All the while, Gadwyn
appears to be running in place, as if gearing up for one of his many
training excercises.
*** Suddenly, a man in tight-fitting lycra pants and a faded, striped
sweatshirt appears from within the mirror. His head is covered by curly
brown hair that looks like a Chia Pet experiment gone awry. As the man
begins to leap up and down, clapping his hands, his effeminate voice echoes
throughout the room as he cries "All right, people . . . Step with it now!"
As the group stares on in bewilderment, the strange man suddenly disappears
in a puff of imagination gone sour, and the story resumes.
*** Gadwyn stops and steps back from the mirror, then turns toward the party,
looking frustrated.
JUSTIN
Do . . . Doushitan da yo, Gadwyn.
Wh . . . What's wrong, Gadwyn?
GADWYN
. . . Mumu, ikan! Kono kagami wa washi ni wa chisasugiru!! Ha . . .
Hairen!
. . . Hmph, it can't be! This mirror is too small for me!! I ca . . .
can't enter!
*** The group looks shocked again, but then as knowledge of the situation
begins to sinks in, Justin grins over Gadwyn's plight.
JUSTIN
Na-Nan da yo, Gadwyn, honki de kandoushiteta no ni saa.
M-Man, Gadwyn, I was seriously impressed for a minute there, but . . .
GADWYN
Waraigoto dewa nai zo, Justin! Kounattara omae ga iku shika nai!
Saa, shiren no sekiban ni shimesu no da, omae ga susumu beki michi o!
This is no laughing matter, Justin! Because of this, there's no one
who can go except you!
Well, it's shown on the trial tablet . . . the path upon which you
must advance!
JUSTIN
A-Aa . . . Wakatta yo, Gadwyn!
O-Oh . . . I understand, Gadwyn!
*** Justin walks up to the stone tablet to get a look at the inscription again.
JUSTIN
Wa ga na wa Justin! Shiren no sekiban yo, ima seirei no michibiki ni
shitagai . . .
I am Justin! Trial tablet, I now obey the guidance of spirit by . . .
*** 2 Choices
1) . . . tsuki no kagami o erabu!
1) . . . choosing the Mirror of the Moon!
2) . . . hoshi no kagami o erabu!
2) . . . choosing the Mirror of the Stars!
*** Choose either one
JUSTIN
Hirake! Hoshi no . . . (Tsuki no)
Open! Mirror of the . . . (this should literally say "Star" or "Moon"
here, but because I chose to write the words in reverse order since
"Moon Mirror" sounds strange, it will have to be this way. All
literal-translation purists please send complaints to
[email protected])
FEENA
Yamete! Justin!!
Stop! Justin!!
JUSTIN
Do-Doushitan da yo, Feena . . . ?
Wh-What's the matter, Feena?
FEENA
Nani ga yuusha Justin yo! Baka ja nai no futari to mo!
Daitai doushite Justin ga Daito no hitotachi o sukuu tame ni inochi o
kakenakya ikenai no!?
Shinjattara bouken datte dekinakunachau no yo! Sore demo ii no!?
What is a hero, Justin?! You're not fools, are you, you and Gadwyn?!
I mean, why must you risk your life to save the people of Daito!?
If you die, you will never go on an adventure again! Is that okay with
you!?
JUSTIN
Nani iidasun da yo, Feena!
Ore ga ikanakya. Daito no hitotachi ga shinjaunda ze! Sore demo ii te
no ka yo!!
What the hell are you saying, Feena?!
I have to go. The people of Daito will die if I don't! Is that okay
with you?!!
*** Feena pauses, understanding, yet still her face grave.
. . . Watashi ga iku . . . ! Watashi ga kagami ni hairu kara
Justintachi wa koko de mattete.
. . . I'll go . . . ! I'll enter the mirror . . . you and the others
wait for me, please?
*** Justin leaps forward, obviously upset.
JUSTIN
Ba-Bakana koto iuna! Sonna kikenna koto Feena saseru wake nai daro!
D-Don't say such a stupid thing! There's no reason for you to get into
that kind of danger!
FEENA
Chigau wa! Kouiu toki koso boukensha toshite no keiken to kan ga daiji

Dakara onegai Justin! Watashi ni . . .
You're wrong! This kind of thing is very important for an adventurer
with experience and intuition to do!
That's why, please, Justin! Let me . . .
*** Justin looks down at the ground, thoughtful and serious. He pauses for a
long moment, and then at last lifts his head to look at Feena again.
JUSTIN
. . . Wakatta yo, Feena. Dattara . . .
Erande kure yo. Docchi no kagami ni haittara ii no ka o . . . ore,
Feena no eranda michi nara shinjirareru.
. . . I understand, Feena. Therefore . . .
Choose for me. Which mirror should I enter . . . if you choose the
path, I can believe in it, Feena.
FEENA
Justin . . .
Justin . . .
*** Gadwyn steps forward, and his deep voice booms off the walls of the
chamber.
GADWYN
Washi kara mo tanomu. Feena, michi o shimeshite yatte kure.
I'm counting on you too. Feena, please show him the way.
*** Feena, determined to help her friends, steps forward toward the tablet, and
tries to speak with an authoritative voice on Justin's behalf.
FEENA
Wa ga na wa Justin. Shiren no sekiban yo, ima seirei no michibiki ni
shitagai . . .
I am Justin. Trial tablet, I now obey the guidance of spirit by . . .
*** Unable to continue, Feena collapses, kneeling in front of the stone.
FEENA
Dame . . . Yappari erabe . . nai. Moshimo machigattetara . . . Watashi
. . . Watashi . . .
It's no use . . . I guess I can't . . choose. If I make a mistake . .
. I . . . I . . .
JUSTIN
Feena . . .
Feena . . .
*** 2 Choices
1) Ore wa Feena o shinjiteru yo.
1) I believe in you, Feena.
2) Seireiseki ga kitto mamotte kureru yo.
2) The Spirit Stone will surely protect me.
*** Choose 1
JUSTIN
Daijoubu da yo. Feena no boukensha toshite no keiken to kan o . . .
iya!
Nani yori Feena no koto o ore wa shinjiteru!!
It's all right, Feena. I believe in your experience and intuition as
an adventurer . . . no!
More than anything, I believe in you, Feena!!
*** Choose 2
JUSTIN
Feena ga eranda michi o ore ga susumu . . . Sorenara, issho ni susumu

Daijoubu. seireiseki ga mamotte kureru sa. Imamade mitai ni, kitto...
I will follow the path you choose, Feena . . . That way, it's the same
as if we were going together, right?
It's all right. The Spirit Stone will protect me. It seems to have
been doing this all along, certainly . . .
JUSTIN
Dakara saa, tatte Feena!
Therefore, stand up, Feena!
*** Feena draws encouragement from Justin's words, and pushes herself up onto
her feet again.
FEENA
Shiren no sekiban yo, ima seirei no michibiki ni shitagai . . .
Trial tablet, I now obey the guidance of spirit by . . .
*** Feena pauses, as if listening to a voice that cannot be heard, and when she
speaks again, her words bear an unmistakeable aura of command.
FEENA
Hoshi no kagami o erabu! Hirake, hoshi no kagami yo!
Choosing the Mirror of the Stars! Open, Mirror of the Stars!
*** A soft glow of white light begins to shine forth from within the mirror,
and now all that remains is for Justin to follow the path which Feena has
chosen.
FEENA
Justin . . .
Justin . . .
SUE
Justin! Zettai Ze~ttai kaette kuru yo ne!
Justin! You really, reeeeally will come back, won't you!
JUSTIN
Aa, mochiron sa! Jaa, Gadwyn! Feena to Sue o tanonda ze!!
Oh, of course! Well, Gadwyn! Take care of Feena and Sue for me!!
GADWYN
Umu, anshinsuru ga ii!
Daito no subete wa omae ni kakatte iru zo! Justin!
Mmm, do not worry about them!
Everything the village of Daito has is riding on you, Justin!
(If you speak to Sue . . .)
SUE
Heiki yo ne, Justin!
Garlysle gun to tatakatta toki mo, sekai no hate kara okkochita toki

It'll be all right, won't it Justin!
When we fought the Garlysle army, and when we fell off of the World's
End, it was all right then too!
JUSTIN
Aa! Kondo datte umakuiku sa! Yuusha no yari o motte kaette miseru!
Uh huh! And it'll go all right this time, too! I'll show you when I
bring back the Spear of Heroes!
(If you speak to Feena)
FEENA
Justin . . .
Watashi korekara mo zutto anata to issho ni tabi ga shitai . . . Koko

Onegai dakara, kaette kite . . .
Justin . . .
I want to keep travelling with you all the way . . . I don't want you
to leave me now . . .
I'm begging you, Justin . . . please come back . . .
JUSTIN
Feena no eranda michi ni machigainai yo. Ore Feena o shinjiteru yo!
Feena, the path you've chosen can't be wrong. I believe in you, Feena!
(If you speak to Feena again . . .)
JUSTIN
Mattete kure, Feena. Ore zettai kaette kuru!
Wait for me, Feena. I will definitely come back!
FEENA
Justin . . .
Justin . . .
(If you speak to Gadwyn . . .)
GADWYN
Omae wa yuukanna shounen da . . . Moshi omae ga shindara, omae no haka

Da ga, buji ni ikite kaette kitara, omae no tame ni shichi atama no

You're a brave lad . . . If you die, I will place the heads of three
flying dragons at your grave.
But, if you come back alive and well, for you I will offer the heads
of seven flying dragons. It's a promise!
JUSTIN
Sonna shimpai iranai sa! Kanarazu ikitekaette kuru. Datte, ore wa
ichiryuu no boukensha nan da se!!
No need to worry like that! After all, I'm a first-class adventurer!!
(If you speak to Gadwyn again . . .)
GADWYN
Umu, omae no kao wa shi ni yuku mono no sore dewa nai. Tanonda zo,
Justin!
Yes, you do not look like one who is going to meet his death. I'm
counting on you, Justin!
*** Justin walks at last toward the Mirror of the Stars, and prepares to meet
his fate.
JUSTIN
. . . Iku zo! Korekoso mirai ni tsuujiru michi da!!
. . . Here I come! From this place lies the very road which leads to
the future!!
*** The hero closes his eyes, and steps into the mirror . . .
*** When Justin opens his eyes again, he is once more standing at the bottom of
a long stairway leading up into blackness. Strange sounds emanate from the
profound darkness all around him.
JUSTIN
Yappari . . . Feena ga erande kureta michi ga tadashikattan da . . .
Arigatou, Feena!!
I guess . . . the path Feena chose was right after all . . .
Thank you, Feena!!
*** The stairway winds upward for a long time, and terminates at last at the
entrance to a small room. Across from the stairwell, hanging
inconspicuously upon the wall, is the Spear of Heroes!
JUSTIN
. . . Kore da na! Kono yari o motte kaereba iin da. Yoo~shi!!
. . . This is it! All I have to do is take this spear home. Heeeere
goes . . .!!
*** Justin slowly reaches up to take the Spear. As his hand touches it, the
chamber is bathed in a soft, pulsing red light that is almost too faint to
make out at first, yet growing to a clearly discernable flashing, maroon
flare. Finally, Justin pulls the ceremonial weapon down, and it comes off
of the wall easily. The flashing light subsides.
*** Picked up the Spear of Heroes!
*** As Justin takes the Spear from its resting place, a quiet rumbling can be
detected, which gradually grows to a roar of crashing rock.
JUSTIN
Na-Nanda!? Nani wa okottan da!?
Wh-What the heck!? What's happening!?
*** Giant chunks of stone begin to fall from the ceiling all around!
JUSTIN
Waa! Konna no kiite nai zo, Gadwyn! Hayaku kokkara nigenakya!!
Whoa! You didn't tell me this was gonna happen, Gadwyn! I gotta get
out of here fast!!
*** Justin races out of the chamber and down the stairs, attempting to flee the
crumbling tower. As he nears the bottom of the twisted stairway, however,
the steps ahead of him suddenly give way, tumbling into the darkness below!
JUSTIN
Uwa, korya yabe~~!!
Waah! this is very baaaad!!
*** Justin turns to run back up the stairs again, but before he can leave the
platform he is standing on, the stairs above him as well break away and
drop into the blackness beneath him! The hero steps back from the edge and
scans the area quickly, desperately looking for a way out, but it seems
hopeless. Within seconds, the very ground beneath his feet gives way, and
Justin begins to fall!
JUSTIN
Waa!
Wah!
*** The boy jumps in surprise as the platform begins to fall, and then plummets
into empty space! As the remaining solid ground, already far above, rushes
up and disappears from sight, a green glow begins to shine faintly from
within Justin's pocket. The glow intensifies and expands to the point where
Justin is nearly surrounded by the green light. Clearly, the powers within
the Spirit Stone have awakened once again as tiny globes of pale,
yellow-green light begin to circle Justin, bouncing and weaving around him
like miniature dancers in motion. Justin can feel his fall slowing to a
halt, and then everything is enveloped in darkness . . .
*** Back in the chamber of the Mirrors of Fate . . .
GADWYN
Ima norowareta tou ga kuzuresarou to shiteiru.
Justin ga yuusha no yari o nuku koto ni seikoushita no da! Masa ni
aistu koso ma no yuusha da!
This cursed tower is breaking apart.
That means Justin has successfully drawn out the Spear of Heroes! He
certainly is a true hero himself!
FEENA
Sonna koto dou demo ii wa! Justin wa . . . Justin wa dou natta no!?
Who cares about that right now! Justin . . . What's going to happen to
Justin!?
*** The tower's shaking intensifies, and large pieces of rock crash to the
ground very close to the group.
FEENA & SUE
Kyaa!
Eeek!
GADWYN
. . . Mumuu! Kore wa ikan!! Mohaya tou ga kuzureru made ikura no jikan
mo nokotte inai zo!!
Feena to Sue wa saki ni soto ni dete ore! Justin ga modoru made washi
wa koko de matsu!!
. . . Hmmph! It can't be!! There's already not much time left before
this tower collapses!!
Feena, Sue, go ahead and get out of this place! I'll wait here for
Justin to return!!
FEENA
Iya yo!! Watashi koko de matteru! Justin o oite nanka . . . Justin,
Justi~~n!!
No!! I'm waiting here! As for Justin . . . Justin . . . Justiiiiin!!
SUE
Feena!? Chotto shikkari shite! Justin nara kitto daijoubu yo!
Feena!? C'mon already! It's Justin we're talking about; he's gonna be
okay!
GADWYN
Ku, kono mama de wa . . . Washi wa Justin to yakusokushita no da.
Futari no koto wa makeserou to na.
. . . Yamu o en!
(Gulp) If we stay here . . . I promised Justin. I told him I'd take
care of these two.
. . . I'm going to put a stop to this!
*** Without no time left for words, Gadwyn reaches down and picks up the girls,
one tucked underneath each one of his massive arms.
FEENA
Nani sun no Gadwyn! Hanasee!! Justi~~~~~n!
What do you think you're doing, Gadwyn?! Let go of me!! Justiiiiiiiin!
*** Gadwyn turns and runs for the exit in a last-ditch effort to escape from
the collapsing spire.
*** Outside of the Tower of Rain and Moon, the rain is still pouring down
from the heavens. The crashing sounds of rock have grown to such a horrible din that
the tower almost sounds as if it is groaning in pain. Without a doubt, the
building is nearly about to be destroyed.
FEENA
Aa, tou ga kuzureru . . .! Justin . . . !!
Aaah, the tower is collapsing . . .! Justin . . . !!
*** The three look on in vain as the entire structure shakes violently, as if
it is thrashing in the throes of death, and then, with a blinding flash,
the tower entirely . . . disappears . . .
*** Feena kneels in front of what was once the Tower of Rain and Moon, her eyes filled with grief.
FEENA
. . . Justin . . .
. . . Justin . . .
GADWYN
Ima washiki tou wa hikari to tomo ni satta . . . Da ga, Justin yo.
Masaka omae made mo ga issho ni . . .
Eei! Omae dake o shinasehasen!! Kono futari o mura made
okuritodoketara washi mo hara o kiru
The tower and the light have now left . . . But Justin. I cannot
believe that you are no longer together with us now . . . (what does
washiki mean? Or imawashiki? (since ima is all in kana here, perhaps
it's part of the word)
Argh! I will not let you die alone!! Once I have returned these two to
the village, I too will hara o kiru!! (need help with this idiom... it
seems pretty easy to guess from the context, but I want to make sure)
SUE
Justin wa shindarishinai wa! Gadwyn no baka!
Justin's not dead, you big dummy!
*** Sue delivers an enormous kick to Gadwyn's armored shin, and then throws
herself down on the ground in a huff, her back turned to the giant knight.
The little girl begins to shake uncontrollably.
SUE
Ju-Justi~n. U-Uwaaaaann!
Ju-Justin.
Sue starts to cry . . .
*** Suddenly, a bright pinpoint of light floating in midair shines forth from a
spot in front of the group! The three stare at it in amazement, hardly
daring to hope . . .
GADWYN
Mumumu, na-nani goto ka!?
Hmmm? Wh-What is that thing!?
SUE
Na-Nan na no!? Ano hikari wa!?
What is that!? That light!?
FEENA
Justin!
Justin!
SUE
Ee!?
What!?
*** From out of the bright speck of light falls Justin, making his entrance as
gracefully as ever.
JUSTIN
Ite!
Ouch!
*** Justin sits up, wincing in pain.
JUSTIN
Ittee~ . . . !!
Ouuuuuuch!!
*** Gadwyn and Sue race over to Justin, visibly relieved to see that their
friend is still alive.
SUE
Justin!
Justin!
JUSTIN
To . . .
Uh . . .
GADWYN
Kega wa!? Doko mo kega wa nai no ka!?
Are you hurt!? You're not hurt anywhere!?
JUSTIN
Kono toori! Pinpinshiteru yo!
That's right! I've never felt better!
SUE
Suggo~i!! Justin, honmono no yuusha mita~i!
Awesome!! Justin, you're just like a real hero!
GADWYN
Migoto da! Yahari onushi wa washi ga mikonda toori no otoko datta you
da na!
Well done! You are truly the man I had expected you to be!
JUSTIN
So-Sokka? Gadwyn ni sou iwareru to terechau na.
R-Really? That makes me feel shy, coming from you, Gadwyn. (Man does
this ever sound femmy to me . . . wonder if there isn't a better way
to say this?)
*** Feena, who has not yet said a word during all of this, steps a little
closer to the group, her eyes still downcast.
FEENA
Justin . . .
Justin . . .
*** Justin steps forward, posturing boastfully, apparently excited from the big
knight's praise and his friends' happiness at seeing him return safely.
JUSTIN
Feena, doudai! Buji ni modotte koreta ze! Ore tte sugoi daro!
Feena, whaddya think?! I came back safely! Aren't I awesome?!
*** Feena walks up to Justin and stops, studying him with a blank look on her
face. Justin stops grinning after a moment and scowls, wondering what on
earth could be the matter with the girl. At that point, much to Justin's
surprise and dismay, Feena hauls back and slaps him hard across his face!
JUSTIN
Na-Nani sun da yo! . . .
. . . to . . .
Wh-What the heck did you do that for?! . . .
. . . uh . . .
*** Feena clutches Justin tearfully, her voice brimming with anger, relief, and
muted joy all at the same time.
FEENA
Justin no baka! Watashi . . . Watashi . . . Naichatta ja nai no!
Hito no ki mo shiranai de . . . !
Justin, you idiot! I . . . I . . . Couldn't you tell I was crying?!
You don't know anything about people's feelings, either . . . !
*** Justin looks abashed.
JUSTIN
. . Feena . . .
. . Feena . . .
FEENA
Yakusokushite yo, Justin. Mou nido to anna mucha wa shinai de. Onegai!
Promise me, Justin. Promise me you'll never do anything foolish like
that again. Please!
*** Justin pushes himself and Feena up straighter, addressing her seriously.
JUSTIN
Go-Gomen yo . . . Yakusokusuru! Nido to Feena o nakasenai! Chikau yo!
I-I'm sorry . . . I promise! I'll never make you cry again! I swear!
*** Feena looks less angry and more relieved now.
FEENA
. . . Hidoi yo, Justin. Watashi . . . Hontou ni shimpaishitan dakara .
. .
. . . That was the lowest, Justin. I . . . was really worried about
you . . .
*** Justin and Feena stand silently together for a moment, and it seems that
everything is harmonious within the group once again. Sue turns to look
away, and notices that . . .
SUE
Are? Itsu no aida ni ka ame ga yanderu . . .
Huh? When did the rain stop? . . .
*** Suddenly, Sue's eyes light up, and she points at something excitedly.
SUE
A~!! Minna, mite mite! Hora! Niji ga mieru yoo!
Ohhh!! Look, look everybody! See?! You can see a rainbow!
The group gazes off into the distance at the colors trailing down from the
heavens, shimmering in the water left over from the torrential rains.
Finally, the party begins to work their way back down through the
mountains, returning to the village of Daito.
*****************************************
* *
* 28 The mysterious Vanishing Hill *
* *
*****************************************
Sue's courage
*** Searching for a way to reach Alent, Justin, Feena and Sue have been
told that an Enjool artifact, located in the mysterious Vanishing Hill, is
able to transport you anywhere you want if you operate with a special gem.
Heading to the place, they find a cave with the artifact and go search
for the Gem, further on the right, outside the cave. After fighting
many monsters, they manage to put their hands on the Gem.
*** As Justin, Feena and Sue got the Gem, they are now able to
operate the Enjool device letting them go anywhere they want. Rather
than going to Alent, they have decided to send Sue home.
Justin
All right ! If we put the gem here, Sue will be able to go !
Sue
....Waaaah ! Parm ! It's so nostalgic !
Justin
Amazing... You can really go wherever you want...
Sue
Justin, don't be selfish and be a pain in the neck to Feena, will you?
Sue
Don't forget, your tissue's in your pocket, and your toothbrush's...
Hehehe, you're already fine without me.
Sue
...Justin, Feena... Time to say goodbye... Take care !
Justin
But Sue... Are you sure you'll be all right on your own...?
Justin
I... I'm coming back with you..
Sue
Stop it !!! Remember your promise ? You must continue the adventure !
Sue
I'm leaving now ! We're going to eat a looot of Lily's cooking, aren't
we Pooy ?
Pooy
Pupuppuu !
Justin
But Sue... You're so... And I... I...
Feena
...Justin, it's...not what you think ! You've done enough, Sue !!
*** She hugs her
Feena
It's enough, Sue... Don't force yourself anymore... You've already
made enough efforts over yourself !
Sue
......You... understood,... Feena... I didn't... I didn't want to...
Sue
I didn't want... you to remember... my last expression... as a tearful
one !!
Feena
It's alright... Sue... Please, just don't do that now...
Feena
Because you can... go back to Parm... And cry there alone ? Okay ?
Sue
fee... Feena ! I wanted so much... so much... t'be with you... with
you all !!
Sue</pre><pre id="faqspan-7">
Now Feena you'll go with Justin... You'll go... And we won't be
together anymore...
Feena
We will !!
Feena
No matter how far we go, we'll keep you in our hearts... Won't we ?
Sue
Y-yeah !
Feena
Let's promise ourselves, Sue, that we will definitely meet again...
You, Justin, and I...
Sue
Thank you Feena ! I'll be looking forward to you coming back !
Sue
Until then, promise me you'll go on adventures together !
*** She goes
Sue
...Ah ! I almost forgot !
Sue

See ? That's how I want you to remember me ! Okay ?
Sue
If you don't remember me this way, you'll never recognize me when I've
become a wonderful lady !
Justin

Sue
Bye bye ! Hang in there ! Justin, I'm sure you'll see your dream
coming true... You'll see the Enjools !
Justin
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuue !!

Feena

behind...
Justin

Let's goooooooo ! I'll show you I can get to the Mermaids Sea !

As lovers' time goes by...
*** When Justin wakes up, he's at the save point inside the ship. Feena's
not there. He goes outside to look for her...
Feena
Ah, Justin ! You're awake ? Look... Wherever you look, you can only
see the sea... You can't even see one single island...
Feena
The moon is so beautiful. Its light is reflecting on the sea... It's
twinkling like a jewel.
Feena
...Hey Justin, why are you standing so far from me ? Come here and sit
with me, will you ?
Justin
*1 Okay, let's do so
*2 No, I'm fine where I am !
*** Answer *1
Why do you sit so far ? Okay, I don't have the choice...
[she sits near him]
*** Answer *2
Hey, don't say that ! Be with me at least a little, will you ?
[she sits near him]
Feena
Huhu... it's the first time we're only the two of us...
Feena
...Hey, why don't you say anything ?
Justin
Weell, huh, I, huh....
Feena
You know, I've been thinking a lot lately, at night, when the night's
wind is blowing...
Feena
Say, you know what I was thinking about ? Guess, Justin...
Justin
*1 Are you thinking about me ?
*2 Maybe... About everyone ?
*** Answer *1
Justin
I know ! You must be thinking about me ! That Justin, what an
incredible, virile, strong person ! ...No, that can't be it...!
Feena
WRONG !
Justin
Of course !
Feena
Well, not really wrong...
Justin
Eh ?
*** Answer *2
Justin
I know ! About Sue ! She was quite noisy, but we're sad now that
she's not with us anymore...
Feena
No, not about Sue...
Justin
About Gadwin then ? "You mustn't neglect your training !!" (he
quotes Gadwin). Hehe !
Feena
No, it's not about Gadwin. Neither Sue nor Gadwin... I was
thinking about you, Justin.
Justin
Ee ! About me ??
Feena
Yeah...
Feena
I was thinking about the first time we met... It was on the sea,
too... It brings back good memories...
Justin
But, Feena, at the time I was only a trainee. I didn't even know the
Adventurers' greeting !
Feena
I'd never have thought we could go on adventures together...
Feena
But, you grew in my heart, you took a bigger and bigger place in it...
Justin
Feena...?
Feena
At the time I lived with my sister, I was really happy... But, one
day, she left, and I was left alone.
Feena
Now, even if I'm happy, I'm still anxious...
Feena
Not because the others left... Because I fear there will be a day when
I'm alone again...
Feena
Justin... From now on, we should be always together, okay ?
Justin
*1 Of course !
*2 Hmm, I don't know...
*** Answer *1
Justin
Of course ! We'll make other adventures together !
Feena
Justin, I'm relieved !
*** Answer *2
Justin
Well, if I want to go on adventures, it might be risky
sometimes... But I'll protect you, Feena !
Feena
Justin ! You're exagerating !
Feena
But, I'm relieved... Thank you Justin... If we stay always together,
I'll probably be very happy...
Feena
Because it's you, Justin... If it was someone else, even if it was my
sister, it wouldn't be the same...
Justin
Feena...
Feena
Say, Justin... Do you... like me ?
Justin
*1 Yes, I like you !
*2 Why are you asking ?
*** Answer *1
Justin
How could I not like you ! Sue, Gadwin, and you Feena, I like you
all very much !
*** Answer *2
Justin
Hey Feena, why are you saying that ? No one could not like you,
you know !
Feena
Justin ! This isn't the "like" I wanted to hear !
Justin
Eh ? ...Feena... Then, which one ?
Feena
............
Justin
... ...Feena... Because of the Moon's light, you look so beautiful...
B-but, of course, you're always pretty !! What am I saying ? It's
stupid.
Feena
Strange, isn't it... Things that we usually don't say seem appropriate
at this very moment...
Justin

Feena
Justin, you know... You're very special to me...

Power and responsibility
Soldier
Lt. Feena, you have just been ordered to go to the operations room
right away so you can be briefed on your next mission.
Justin
What the-? Feena's a lieutenant?!!!
Feena
Now just hold on a second. Is this some kind of joke?
Soldier
Oh no, ma'am, this isn't a joke! We have been given specific
instructions that as of today, we were all supposed to treat you, Miss
Feena, as a lieutenant. I'm sure that the situation would make much
more sense if you talked to Col. Myuren. Why don't you go and ask him
about it?
Justin
Well it's definitely strange for Myuren to come up with this kind of a
decision all of a sudden.... What the heck's he scheming now?
Rapp
And on top of all of this, Gaia's just been resurrected too.... So what
are we going to do now, Jus'?
Justin
... I'm not so sure myself.... Well, first things first! Let's go ahead
and see what Myuren has to say!
*** The Operations Room
Myuren
Gaia's starting to multiply himself.... We need to make our move--and
fast.
Leen
At this rate, Gaia's going to cause incredible amounts of damage to
the neighboring vicinities... Col. Myuren.
Myuren
That's right. Gaia needs to keep absorbing tremendous amounts of
energy to maintain his ongoing evolution.
Leen
Given his current trajectory, Jilpadoon is the next projected area
from which Gaia will will start absorbing energy.
Myuren
However... without the Sacred Spirit Stone... I don't think there's any
way that we can save the city.
Soldier
We are now commencing landing procedures for the Flying Battleship
Leonrotte. Our landing site will be the Army Camp at Ruzette Mountain.
Myuren
Okay....
Justin
Hey, Myuren! What's this thing going on about Feena being a
lieutenant?!
Myuren
As you very well know, Gaia's resurrection has left us facing very
adverse conditions. Following our withdrawal from Miltary Fortress J,
we decided to establish a camp here in the Ruzette Mountains to serve
as our front line base for tactical operations. The way we in the army
look at it, we only have one shot to turn the tide in our favor.
This... is just like what exactly happened to the Ancient Civilization.
Once a sacred spirit stone is absorbed into that thing's body, it
breaks apart and dissolves.
Our plan now is to combine the power of the Ancient Civilization and
the technology of the Army--mainly the Steam-powered Cannon. The
cannon will be used to stop Gaia in his tracks. However, without the
Sacred Spirit Stone, it is now essential for us to have the help of
the Kouyokujin more than ever.
Which now brings me to the question at hand. Will you lend us your
strength, Lt. Feena...?

The Choices That We Make
Justin
What the heck's that Myuren up to, making Feena a lieutenant and
all that?
Rapp
Say whatever you want to say, but where'd that Feena go anyway?
Justin
Well, she said something about going on ahead to the Officer's Tent
before us.... It looks like Leen wants to talk about this whole
lieutenant situation too....
Riethe
If I remember correctly, Leen said something about meeting her in
the Tactical Operations Tent.
Justin
At any rate, let's go ahead and see what's going on.
*** The Officers' Tent
Feena
I'm sorry for going on ahead without you guys.... I just needed some
time to myself to think things out. Hey Justin, I'd really like to
talk to my sister right now.
Justin
That's right! I'm pretty sure that Leen will agree that this whole
lieutenant mess isn't going to work. Anyway, she told us to meet
her at the Tactical Operations Tent so let's just head over there
now.
I normally don't do side conversations but it's quite rare to get
any laughs at this point in the game. That's why I'll go ahead and
do the "parrot scenario." (Go ahead and talk to that black bird).
Rapp
Hey look, Jasu! It's a parrot bird (actually, the darned thing
looks more like a crow to me). These birds can remember what people
say and say it right back.
Justin
Eh? Really? Alright! Now then, what can we make it remember...?
Choices:
1. Go to hell, Myuren!
2. Justin, you're the greatest!
*** If you picked choice 1...
Justin
Okay! Here we go.... Go to hell, Myur--....
Rapp
So Jasu, just what exactly are you going to have that bird
remember?
Bird
Go to hell, Jasu! Go to hell, Jasu! Go to hell, Jasu!
Justin
Ack!
Rapp
WA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!! This is your finest work yet! That's what you get
for trying to act like some punk kid.
Bird
Go to hell, Jus' ! Go to hell, Jus' ! Go to hell, Jus' !
*** If you picked choice 2...
Bird
Justin, you're the greatest! Justin, you're the greatest!
Justin
Y-Yeah, that's right!
Rapp
Hey you... what the heck do you think you're doing? That bird's not
supposed to be used for fun and games you know.
Bird
Justin, you're the greatest! Justin, you're the greatest!
*** The Tactical Operations Test
Feena
Leen....
Leen
I've been expecting you, Feena. You men can just go ahead and wait
outside.
Soldiers
Yes, ma'am. Please excuse us.
Leen
There's something that I've been meaning to talk to you about,
Feena.
Even up to this point, it was never Col. Myuren's intention for
Shogun Baal to gain possession of the Sacred Spirit Stones. Right
now, he's been working around the clock with no rest so he can keep
on overseeing the Army's operations. He's doing this because just
like you, he doesn't want to see the world destroyed either.
Now I'm pretty sure that you're aware of this too but with Gaia's
resurrection, the Sacred Spirit Stones have always been an
essential component for the protection of our world. However, now
that the stones have been destroyed, it is of the utmost importance
that we use the powers that we possess.
And that's why I'm begging you right now Feena! Please lend us your
strength! I just want to see the colonel fill of energy once again,
not like the troubled person that he is right now!
Justin
Now hold on just a second Leen. Isn't Myuren planning on just
abandoning Jilpadon? I would think that saving that city would be
the main reason why Feena should lend you her strength in the first
place.
Feena
That's right, Leen! I have to go to Jilpadon so I can help Justin
save the people of the city.
Leen
I know that the situation with Jilpadon is no laughing matter, but
Gaia is expanding at an incredibly alarming rate. According to our
calculations, Jilpadon is doomed no matter what. It's just a matter
of time before that city is going to be under extreme danger.... I
don't think that you should go there.
Justin
But that fact right there is the very reason why we have to go! If
you're intent on saving the world, it doesn't make sense to just
abandon the people of Jilpadon! Open your eyes, Leen! You're being
taken in by Myuren's sweet talk....
Leen
Don't even dare say anything bad about Sir Myuren!
He always tells me that it's our responsibility to protect our
Mother Earth, even at the cost of our own lives. That's why I don't
even care what happens to me. I'm willing to risk my very life
for....
Feena
But you're wrong, Leen! If you and everybody else sacrifice their
lives for the sake of the world, who'll be left to enjoy the world
that you just saved?
Justin
Before we even think about saving this world, we need to help the
people of Jilpadon first. Let's go everyone.
*** Talk to Leen again...
Leen
I used to despise the fact that I was a Kouyokujin. This was a part
of my existence that I always wanted to erase. God knows how many
time I just wanted to get rid of my wings. But then... the colonel
told me how beautiful they were when he first saw them... my two
shimmering wings which I've always try to keep inside of me.... Those
words saved me at a time when I was just about ready to throw
everything away.... This time, I want to save the colonel.
Feena
Leen....

The True Meaning of Power
Justin
... ... ....
Rapp
Is there something wrong, Jus'? You've gotten quiet all of a
sudden.
Justin
It's just that it actually IS quiet... almost too quiet! I don't even
hear the slightest sound!
Rapp
H-Hey now! Don't tell me that everyone's already bitten the dust
over here?!
Riethe
I don't think that's the case. I'm sure that it's because everybody
knows that Gaia will be attacking this place pretty soon.
Justin
At any rate, I'm pretty sure that Gido and the others are worried.
Let's hurry up and see what's going on.... (Earth shakes). O-Oh no!
Don't tell me we're too late!!!
At this point, Gaia's tentacles wreak havoc all over the city,
turning people and objects into stone....
Justin
Th-This is Gaia's power? Damn it! It sure didn't take him that long
now did it?
Feena
I can't believe it.... Jilpadon's been destroyed in just an instant!
Rapp
H-Hey, Jus'! D-Do you think that the people here have been really
done for this time?
Justin
Th-That can't be!!! Hurry guys, let's start looking for them!!!
Voice
Aaaaah! No! Stay back!!!
Aaaaah! Stay back!!! Somebody help us!!! Please!!!
Justin
Th-There's still some people left! Look, over there!
Feena
Let's hurry up and go everyone!
Beat the morphed Gaia monsters....
Person
Thank you very much! You just got us through one heck of a tight
spot right there.
Justin
What happened to everybody else? Have they really been killed by
Gaia...?
Person
No, they haven't. Everyone's actually seeking refuge at the
residence of the Moge people.
We were actually on our way there when these monsters just started
attacking us all of a sudden. It's a good thing you came along.
Justin
That's great! So there still are people left in here!
Okay, we're going to look around and make sure that nobody else
needs help. We'll join the rest of your people once we're done.
Feena
You should be getting on your way too.
Person
Yeah, you're right. Thanks again, everyone.
Go further into the town and...
Voice
Feena!
Feena
Leen! So you've actually come to help us!
Leen?
Leen
... ... ....
At 1400 hours today, Tactical Battle Plan 01025 will commence. This
operation will be known as "The Earth's Great Renewal."
Our two operatives, 2nd Lieutenant Feena and 1st Lieutenant Leen
will be assigned in front of Cannon Number 3, where they will
remain on standby and await further orders once the mission goes
underway.
Justin
Leen!!!
Feena
Leen... why can't you understand...?
Leen
This is an order, Feena! You are now a subordinate of Col. Myuren....
Justin
Stop this nonsense and open your eyes, Leen!
Voice
Mommy! Mommy, help meeee!
Mother
Help! Somebody, please save my son!
Justin
W-What the.... It sounds like somebody's being attacked by monsters
again!
Rapp
Hey, Jus'!
Justin
Yeah I got it, Rapp! Sorry Leen, but we'll just have to talk later!
*** Save the Kid....
Rapp
You okay, squirt? Hmm... it doesn't look like you got hurt.
Kid
Yeah, thanks! You guys sure are strong!
Justin
Heh, just leave everything to us!
Rapp
Yeah, we're gonna bust up whatever flunkies Gaia sends over here!!!
Feena
Anyway, it's really dangerous to stay out here. You should head on
to the Moge's place, okay?
Mother
I see, the Moge's place you say? Well then, you guys take ca...
t-take c-caaa...aaaaah!
Justin
...? What's wrong?
Rapp
H-Hey, Justin! Right behind you!
Justin
W-What the.... Th-This thing's come back again?!
Rapp
Shit! This thing's the same as the monster that attacked Kawa
Village!!!
Leen
That's right.... There's no way that you guys can defeat Gaia right
now.
Justin
Leen!
Feena
Leen?!
Leen
The responsibility to defeat Gaia rests on those who have wings,
the Kouyokujin.... That would be you and me, Feena.
*** Leen takes charge....
Leen
... Do you understand now, Feena...? This is the reason why we exist....
Our purpose in life is to fight Gaia.
Feena
... ... ....
Leen
The colonel's waiting, Feena.... Let's go.
Justin
Now wait just a second, Leen!
Didn't you just see what the people of this city are going through?
What the heck are you thinking?
I don't exactly know what Myuren's plan is but if he's not willing
to save Jilpadon, then do you honestly think that he'll be willing
to save the world?
I can't think of anyone who wouldn't be saddened by having to
sacrifice an entire city. He must be lying!!!
Leen
You're wrong... you're wrong, Justin! The colonel... the colonel just
wants to get things back to the way they were before.... Huh...?
Aaaaaah!
Feena
Leen! Hang in there, Leen! Open your eyes! Please!
Rapp
Hey guys, I think it's dangerous for us to stay here.
Justin
You're right. Okay guys, let's go head on to that refuge they're
talking about. Give me a hand over here, Rapp.
Rapp
Haah? What are you talking about, Jus'? That bitch's responsible
for thrashing my village!
Justin
She was only a victim of circumstances during that time, Rapp!
Besides, didn't she save our hides back then?
Feena
Please, Rapp! I'm begging you!
Rapp
... ... ....
Aw crap! I guess there's nothing we can do about it. Okay, Jus'.
Turn over this way.
*** The Moge Residence
Justin
Alright, Feena! There's actually a doctor over here!
Riethe
The doctor says that Leen just lost consciousness. She should be
coming around pretty soon.
Feena
I was really worried about my sister for a while there... thanks
everyone. Thank you too, Rapp. I really appreciate it.
Rapp
Urgh! Ah... er... it was nothing... really.
Justin
Hmm.... I'm really at a loss here as far as what we're going to do
with Gaia. I mean, the thing just keeps reviving itself every time
we destroy it.
Riethe
I think Leen's right as far as the Kouyokujin being the only ones
capable of permanently getting rid of Gaia.
Feena
But... I'm not sure if I possess the same strength that my sister
has.
Justin
Damn it! What should we do? What can we.....
Person 1
I guess all we can do is just wait for death to come.
Person 2
Hmph, once these things start attacking us over here, it'll all be
over anyway.
Person 3
Why? Somebody please tell me why we have to die just like this?
Person 4
Oh well, it's okay. Now that the city's been destroyed, there
wouldn't be any way for us to live decently anyway.
Justin
N-Now hold on just a second, everyone!
How can you just give up like this?
We've come all the way over here just to protect you guys! I mean,
we'll definitely help you out, that's for sure! That's why....
That's why you shouldn't lose hope!
Feena
Justin....
Chit
Is everyone alright?
That's good. It looks like everyone over here's okay so far.
Huh? You're that red-haired adventurer from before! What are you
doing here now? Did you just stop by on the way to one of your
adventures?
Justin
Not really.... We just hurried over here as soon as we found out that
Gaia was going to attack Jilpadon.
Chit
Eh?! Really?! You mean you're not running away even though
something this terrible is going on?
Justin
Of course! By the way, Chit... I'm really sorry that we weren't able
to join up with you guys earlier....
Chit
Don't worry about it. Luckily, our chief is very trustworthy so he
didn't bail out on us. He's actually not here 'cause he went to one
of the other towns to buy us supplies and rations.
I'm not so sure what to do myself... but I feel stronger already,
just cause everyone decided to come here.
Feena
Well, it's quite a relief to know that Gido's safe.
Chit
I don't think this is a time to feel relieved! I mean, it's only a
matter of time before a lot more enemies start coming here....
Justin
There's no point in losing hope! The main reason we've decided to
come over here is to protect you guys!
Riethe
But Justin, if you don't possess the power of the Kouyokujin, then
Gaia will just keep reviving itself no matter how many times you
defeat it.
Feena
The power of the Kouyokujin.... My sister said that we possess these
wings so we can fight.... We're supposed to exist to fight... do we
really exist only to fight?!
Justin... do I... ... .... Do I only really exist to fight?! And can I
actually use the same power that my sister possesses?
Justin
Feena....
Feena
No... that's not right.... I exist, but not just to fight.... I exist
because I have to protect.
I want to protect you, Justin... my sister... and everyone who's here
right now!!!
*** Feena spreads her wings of light....
Justin
Feena... those wings.... They're wings of light....
Riethe
It appears as if a new power has just been born inside of you,
Feena....
That, I believe, is the very same power that sealed Gaia's strength
and imprisoned him.
In order to free this world from Gaia's evil clutches, you must be
able to understand and grasp that power at any cost
Feena
This power...?
A foreboding beam of light covers the city....
Person 1
Aaaaah! There it is again! That light! It's going to turn us to
stone!!!!
Justin
We'll need to use every bit of our strength to bring Gaia down!
Let's go guys!
Chit
I saw Gaia from one of the vantage points just a while back!!! If
we don't do anything soon....
Justin
Don't worry. We'll defend the entrance to these dwellings from
Gaia's attacks!
Rapp
It's here, Jus'! Get ready!!!
Feena
Let's go, Justin.!
Justin
Very well then, this'll be just like before. Let's do the dance
with this thing one more time!
*** Defeat the Gaia Battler
Rapp
Shit! It doesn't look like we can get rid of these guys! They just
keep coming, and coming! What are we gonna do now, Jus' ?!!!
Justin
Well, we can't just withdraw from here! We need to protect the
people of the city! Damn it! We'll just have to keep cutting them
down no matter how many times it takes!!!
Feena
Justin! Lend me your strength! We must protect these people no
matter what! There's no way that we can lose to Gaia!!!
Justin
Feeeenaaaa!!!!
Leen
J-Justin... Feena! Could this power be coming from both of them...?
Major meltdown follows....
Rapp
Hey, Jus' ! Can you hear me?
Justin
U...Ungh.... Damn you... Gaia....
Rapp
What the-. Hey idiot! Open your eyes!
Justin
What happened to Gaia? Hey Feena, are you okay?
W-what's going on here?
Riethe
All of the attacks that Gaia has been carrying out on this city
have just been stopped.
A new power has just manifested itself within Feena.
Leen
Justin... Feena....
Justin
Leen....
Leen
I never should have lost hope.... You were able to save a city that
our military strategies have already abandoned and considered
doomed.
I guess I should be grateful.... You have made me realize that I must
now follow a different path than the one I have previously chosen.
I'll go report back to the colonel now. I advise you not to leave
this town until the army makes it move.
Just leave everything to me....
Feena
Leen?!
Leen
Farewell, Justin... Feena....
Rapp
Anyway guys, defeating Gaia just like that was mighty impressive,
he, he!
Oh, by the way, those Moge guys just set up a tent for us!
It should be pretty close to the entrance. I heard it's quite
lavish too, he, he. Anyway, let's go check it out.
Feena
I... I am pretty tired, now that you mention it.... Let's go Justin....
Go to the tent
Rapp
So this is that tent those Moge guys aset up for us, huh?
Well, now that we just beat the crap out of that cursed Gaia, I
think I'll catch a few winks here myself.
*** The Garlysle Army Field Camp
Myuren
Why did you come back alone, Leen? You're mission was to convince
Feena to join us so we can carry on with our plan.
Leen
... ... ....
... ... ... Col. Myuren, could it be possible that we were mistaken?
Myuren
And just what is that supposed to mean?
Leen
The power of the Kouyokujin in itself is not enough to defeat Gaia.
The power that I saw Feena use to protect the people of Jilpadon
was different from mine.
That wasn't just the power of the Kouyokujin that I saw.... It was
something else... something even more powerful.
Myuren
... ... ....
Leen
The only true power that can save this world is that same power
that I saw Justin and Feena use!
And this is the power that we must search for, Col. Myuren!
Myuren
Understood, 1st Lieutenant Leen....
Leen
Then that means....
Myuren
The plan still remains the same! I expect you to have Feena here
with us tomorrow no matter what!
Leen
Colonel! I'm begging you! Please try to understand what I'm trying
to say!!!
Myuren
The only one who doesn't understand what's going on here is you,
Leen!!!
Leen
A-Ah-!
Myuren
We don't have time to follow these tales of yours about your
dreams! In order to defeat Gaia, it is imperative that we have the
power of both Kouyokujins behind us!
At this point, there's just no other way to save the world! Don't
you understand this?!
Leen
B-But....
Myuren
We all have, at one point or another, committed transgressions. I
don't think there's anyway you can live in this world otherwise.
But despite the fact that this world is so full of sin.... I still
want to protect it.
Leen
... ... ....
Myuren
This is what I need you to understand, Leen. Even those wings of
light behind you are a symbol of these very transgressions as
well.
Leen
My wings... are a symbol... of transgression?
Myuren
Please lend us your strength, Leen. We need to have the power of
the Kouyokujin behind us--yours and Feena's.
Leen
I... understand... Col. Myuren. I will act in accordance with the plan
starting tomorrow.
Myuren
That's the reason I've chosen you as my top aide. Very well then,
I'll leave everything in your hands.
*** Back at Jilpadon
Feena
Within me exists great power....
But I don't know what to do with it....
Hey, please tell me, Justin. Why were the Kouyokujin born?
Is it just like what my sister said? Do we only exist to fight
Gaia? I mean that's just....
Justin
I'm sorry, Feena. I don't know the answer to your question either.
But don't worry about it too much. With the military and Gaia
staying put for now, we have a lot of time to think things through.
Feena
... ... ....
Rapp
Hey, Jus' ! The army's just been mobilized! It looks like they're
headed East.
Justin
What?!!! But the army's plan isn't supposed to work without Feena!
Feena
I-It can't be! Is my sister planning on just going ahead by
herself?!
Justin! You've got to help me stop her!
Justin
Of course! Now let me see... hmm... East you say, right? That's
basically right around the Ruzette area... they must be headed to
Military Fortress J. Let's get going guys!
*** Ruzette Mountain
Riethe
What's this...? It looks like the monsters here have been influenced
by Gaia!
Justin
The monsters are under Gaia's influence? What's that supposed to
mean?
Riethe
Gaia's energy is affecting the monsters in the surrounding areas.
They're basically turning into Gaia monsters.
Rapp
It looks like they've gotten stronger too.
Riethe
Gaia's going to undergo his own transformation pretty soon. We must
stop him before this happens.
The second half of Ruzette Mountain; ground starts shaking....
Riethe
What the.... Justin! This doesn't look good! Gaia's undergoing his
transformation!
Justin
What?!!!
*** Military Fortress J
Soldier
Gaia has just started moving again! It looks like he's changing
into his second form!
Myuren
Alright! Everyone, let's set the plan into action.
Soldier
Colonel! It's Lt. Leen!!!
Myuren
What's wrong?!!!
Soldier
L-Lt. Leen.... Lt. Leen just headed for the Number 3 Cannon's tower....
Myuren
What?!!! I haven't given the order to move out yet !!! What could
she be thinking ?!!! Leen!!!
Soldier
We have an incoming report! It looks like Gaia's moving toward a
nearby location!
... Colonel! Col. Myuren! Gaia's main body is heading towards
Military Fortress J!!!
Myuren
Huh?! I can't believe this is happening at a time like this !!!
Leen !!! Just what are you up to?!!!

The Ultimate Sacrifice
*** Inside the main command center at Military Fortress J....
MYUREN
Is there still no response? Are you meaning to tell me that Leen
hasn't established communications with us yet? At this rate we
won't be able to make our move!!!
JUSTIN
Hey, Myuren!!! What's the meaning of this?! Where the heck is Leen
at?!
MYUREN
Justin?! What's Feena doing here?! Leen's all by herself over at....
O-Oh no! This can't be...!
LEEN
This is Lt. Leen, reporting in.... As of this moment, I have seized
control of all the cannons surrounding Military Fortress J.
I repeat, I have now seized control of all the cannons surrounding
Military Fortress J.
MYUREN
Where are you, Leen?! Come back! Come back over here, Leeeen!!!
LEEN
So you're there... Feena. And Justin too.... I can feel your presence.
I'm here because I would like to help all of you.... Once again, it
looks like we've unknowingly set yet another disaster in motion.
And just like before, everything rests on the power of the
Kouyokjin who, according to legend, appear to be destined to meet a
sorrowful fate.
That's why I've decided to be here... so I can stop this operation
that we've decided to follow.
I do not possess the power that can save all of us. The true power
that can save this world lies within Feena.... And you too, Justin.
These next lines have no text with them so I'm not sure how
accurate I'm going to be...
However, at this point, the power you possess still hasn't reached
its full strength so it won't be strong enough....
That's why I'm going to buy you some time. This is the only chance
that we'll ever get to save this world. The existence of human
beings may be marred by mistakes and wrongdoings.... And these are
the very same wrongdoings that spawned Gaia....
Alright! The text is back!
You said it yourself, Col. Myuren. These wings are also a symbol of
human transgression and wrongdoing.
Perhaps you can make light of the crimes of humanity that have been
persecuting you.
But even though I'm tainted by these wings of mine, I'm still
capable of doing the right thing.
MYUREN
What are you talking about, Leen?! Stop this nonsense! I'm to blame
for all of this!
I realized that your wings were giving you so much grief so I
wanted to free you from all of that sorrow. Believe me, that was
all that I wanted for you.
LEEN
To the people of the world... listen to me. Please do not repeat the
same mistakes that have been done in the past!
For the sake of our world, you must find an alternative path to
that which we have always chosen! The person capable of finding
this new path... is you, Justin. I'm confident that you will be able
to trace the path that will save our world.
It is imperative that you find the answer to this alternative path
so our world won't be destined to a sorrowful fate!!!
JUSTIN
Please wait, Leen! Tell me! What should I do?!!!
LEEN
Col. Myuren... please listen to my final words.... I just want you to
know... that I love you more than anyone else.... I truly... and deeply
do....
MYUREN
Leeeeeeeeeeen!!!!
At this point, you'll regain control of Justin. Go ahead and talk
to Myuren and your party members....
JUSTIN
Hey, Myuren! Where's Leen at right now? We must go over there no
matter what!
MYUREN
... ... .....
JUSTIN
Myuren!!!
MYUREN
You'll need to exit this room and find the entrance to the Steam
Cannon Engine Room. Go in there and find the exit that leads to one
of the steam cannons which we've locked on to fire at Gaia. That's
where you'll find Leen....
JUSTIN
You should come with me too, Myuren! You're the only one who can
stop her!!!
</pre><pre id="faqspan-8">
MYUREN
I can't leave here! I have a duty to attend to! If I leave now,
nobody's going to oversee the army's operations!
JUSTIN
You stubborn fool! I can't believe you're still spouting that
garbage! Don't you understand how Leen feels...?
MYUREN
Shut up!!! You have no right to be pointing a finger at me!!! Now
then, there's a passage way that you can reach from the comand
center. That passageway has only one door so you won't miss it!
Leen should be on the other side. If you want to go then you can go
on ahead by yourself....
FEENA
I can't believe it... Leen....
JUSTIN
Feena! Hey, Feena! Get a hold of yourself!
FEENA
Leen's... Leen's going to....
My sister's a Kouyokujin so... the world's... why? Why my sister?
RIETHE
The Kouyokujin's power, whether it be of one or two doesn't make a
difference.... I wonder what Leen meant as far as an alternative
path.... What could she have seen?
Once again, the power of stopping Gaia rests on the Kouyokujin.... It
doesn't look like anyone can run away from the sorrowful destiny
that fate has ordained.
RAPP
Did you see that woman's eyes, Justin? Those eyes... those are the
eyes of someone who knows she's going to die! Hurry, Justin! You
have to stop her!
*** Once you get to the control room, the guard will tell you to go
straight through the room and exit at the other side to find her....
JUSTIN
Leen! Stop it!!!!!!!!!!!

Requiem
RAPP
Boy, that Feena's sure been sulking in that tent since yesterday.
Well, I guess it can't be helped--her having lost a loved one and
all. I guess the best thing we can do for her now is just give her
some space. Just make sure that you go and cheer her up later on
okay? I don't think Riethe and I can do much as far as that's
concerned.
RIETHE
The radiance of one of the Kouyokujin has just been lost to us
forever. This is quite unfortunate, but it doesn't change the
situation that we are currently facing... even though the will to
face the future for some of us may have.... Now then... the wheels of
fate rests on both you and Feena, Justin. I believe that the
strength of your convictions will decide whether we change the
future that has been ordained for us or not. At this moment, the
strength of Feena's will is very weak. It is up to you to give her
convictions strength yet once again.
MYUREN
Feena must be in here... I would like to talk to her.
JUSTIN
You jackass!!! Didn't I just tell you that Feena doesn't want to
see anyone right now?! This is all your fault!
MYUREN
We don't have much time left. Move out of the way, Justin.
JUSTIN
You must be crazy if you think I'm going to move out of here!
Obviously, it's not enough for you to have gotten Leen killed! Now
you want to get Feena killed too! You should at least try to
understand Feena's feelings and....
MYUREN
Shut your all-knowing mouth, Justin!!! Do you really think you
understand the purpose behind Leen and Feena's existence?!!! Do you
truly understand what those wings were meant to be for?!!! You
should be ashamed of putting your petty thoughts ahead of the
continued existence of humanity.
*** Inside the tent
MYUREN
Please think it over really well. This is our final chance to stop
Gaia, Feena.
FEENA
... ... ....
MYUREN
With the spirit stones gone, we need your strength more than ever.
You're the only Kouyokujin left in this world....
FEENA
And in the end... I'll die right? Just like the legend says.... I saw
it in those murals.
MYUREN
... That is a possibility. I can't make any guarantees concerning
your survival.
JUSTIN
Cut it out, MYUREN! Are you spewing the same garbage again?! Don't
involve Feena in your schemes any further!
MYUREN
We will carry out the plan first thing tomorrow morning. You have
until then to decide. I won't force you to make your decision.
JUSTIN
Now just hold on a second, MYUREN! Haven't you forgotten Leen's
final words?! We need to find a new way to deal with this problem!
MYUREN
Shut up, Justin! And just where do you expect to find this new path
that she was talking about?! Do you even know where to start
looking?!
JUSTIN
Well, I uh....
MYUREN
I will keep on fighting no matter what! Besides fighting, I don't
see any other path to take! If you happen to have any solutions in
mind other than this, then answer me now, Justin!
JUSTIN
... ... ....
MYUREN
What? It looks like you can't give us an answer can you? Do you
intend to have Leen's sacrifice just be in vain?!
FEENA
Stop it!!! Leen... it's truly sad how we've reverted to our petty
bickering yet once again.... Please come back to us....
MYUREN
Even now, there is simply no way for us to bring Leen back. Please
don't forget this.... (He leaves)
FEENA
Justin.... Does the new path that my sister talked about really
exist?
JUSTIN
Of course! And I'm definitely gonna find it too!
FEENA
Now I see! MYUREN was right after all! Why couldn't you say
anything a while ago?! ... ... .... I'm sorry, Justin... I just don't know
what to do anymore....
JUSTIN
There's no point in beating yourself to the ground. We... still
have time, you know.
FEENA
It's really strange.... For some reason, I can't stop my legs from
shaking.... Justin, I'm scared.... I don't want to die....
*** Talk to Feena again and she'll go on feeling sorry for herself for
not being capable of doing anything. She'll apologize to her sister
for her ineptitude and mutter that she doesn't want to die once
again. She'll eventually just keep to herself and you can go ahead
and leave the tent.
RAPP
Uh... well you know, Feena's probably not the only one who's saying
that kind of stuff. At any rate, just cheer up, Jasu!
RIETHE
This is the first time I've ever seen Feena speak like that....
JUSTIN
Feena.... Please tell me, Leen. What should I do?
CHIT
Ah! Mister red-haired adventurer!
JUSTIN
Chit!
CHIT
What's wrong? You don't look well. That gloomy look you have
doesn't really slide with young girls, you know.
JUSTIN
Ha, ha, ha.... Even though the city's gone through all of this, it
doesn't look like the Moge people have been discouraged at all,
huh? I wonder what Guido would say if he was here.... Hey that's
right! Did Guido ever come back from that trip of his? Maybe he can
give me some advice about what I should do....
CHIT
Actually, our chief has just returned. It looks like he wants to
talk to you guys too.
JUSTIN
Alright! Let's go meet Guido then. That guy knows everything. He
should be able to tell us what we should do, I just know it....
*** Go to Guido's quarters
GUIDO
I've heard of what happened. Looks like you've come to the right
place, Justin.
JUSTIN
Please tell me what to do Guido! The way things are going right
now, it looks like Feena may have to sacrifice her own life to save
the world. ... We have to find a way to help her! Leen mentioned
something about another path but I just can't figure the answer
out. I don't think my strength alone is enough to get the job done.
GUIDO
As long as Gaia is alive, every single one of us is in danger. Now
then, surely you're not planning on undertaking this venture alone,
are you?! It is imperative that you get some assistance during
times like this.
JUSTIN
Get some assistance...?
GUIDO
You mean nobody has told you about this? A person strength becomes
much greater when he fights for the sake of others compared to when
he fights for his sake alone. If you fight for the sake of the
person you hold dearest in your heart, then your greatest power
will reveal itself.
JUSTIN
The person that I hold dearest in my heart...? I see... that would be
Feena....
GUIDO
Bingo! And once you understand this concept, then there isn't
anything in this world that you can't do. I personally think that
you and Feena can do just about anything when you join your hearts
together. Why, weren't both of you responsible for saving
Jilpadoon?
JUSTIN
That's right... I didn't do all that by myself... Feena and I did it
together. Why didn't I see that before? Feena and I did save the
city together. Thanks, Guido! I owe you one! Let me try talking to
her just one more time!
*** Back at the tent...
JUSTIN
What the... Feena's....
RAPP
Hey, Justin! It looks like she just beat it!

keepsake from Daito Village. Oh no, it can't be.... She's at the Army
Camp, Rapp!
*** Exit the city and go to the Army Camp's temporary docking area....
Justin
Hey, Feena! Wait up!
You don't have to go, Feena! I'm going to stop Gaia!
Myuren
I understand how you feel, Justin. But your strength alone isn't
enough to stop Gaia.
Feena
Thanks, Justin... for everything. You handed Baal the spirit stone in
order to protect me.... This wonderful gesture of yours truly makes me
happy. However, because of this... Gaia has been resurrected and
several people have already died... including my sister. Now it's my
turn to protect everyone from Gaia's clutches... the people... this
world... and you too....
Justin
Please wait, Feena! I'm the one who gave Baal the spirit stone so this
is all my fault, not yours! That's why I ....
*** Feena knocks Justin down with a flash of her power
Justin
Aaaah!
Feena
This is the power that I possess.... Besides myself, there are no
other Kouyokujin left.... The way things are going right now, Gaia
will soon destroy everything. And there really isn't anybody else in
this world who can stop him.... Defeating Gaia... is the Kouyokujin's
responsibility... and as the last remaining survivor... it is my
responsibility too. That's why I... I.... Ju... Justin! Farewell....
Please don't forget me, okay?
*** Feena and Myuren board the military's airship leaving Justin in the
dust

Hah? What do you mean "let's go?" Go where? We're gonna go where
Feena's headed to, right? Tell me that's where you want to go?!
Justin
... ... .....
Rapp
Hey! Say something! Where are we gonna go?!
Justin
I... I can't protect Feena.... I couldn't even stop her.... I just
don't have the strength to....
Rapp
... ... .... (in shock) You stupid jackass!!! Surely, you must be
kidding! Do you even hear what you're saying?! Come on, Jus'! We need
to go after Feena!!!
... ... ... Shit! What a sissy.... I guess I misjudged you, oh great
"Justin". Hmph, whatever... I don't care anymore. You...y-you... you
can go rot in hell for all I care!!! (Leaves)
Riethe
Is that true, Justin? Do you really intend to just stay here? Didn't
you tell me that my stone block was going to be red and that I should
start my future anew? (I guess I picked red for happiness back in
Alent)
Justin
... ... ....
Riethe
I see.... Then that means that I have no further business here. I
shall be heading back to Alent. A word of advice, Justin. You can have
eternity itself by your side. But if you're going to sulk around and
act like a child, then all that time is of no worth.
*** Deserted by his peers, Justin heads back to the camp's main grounds
where he witnesses the remaining military personnel leaving in
droves....
Saki
Hey there, Justin! It looks like you've got nothing left to do, huh?
Well, from the looks of Sir Myuren's final orders, it doesn't look
like we're gonna be doing much either.
Mio
According to Sir Myuren's orders, all military personnel not involved
in the final strike can go back to their respective homes.
Saki
We wanted to be part of the military's final mission but Sir Myuren
said that we were going to be in charge of the departing troops.
Mio
We've certainly gone through a lot together, haven't we? With the
dissolution of the army, we'll probably never see each other again.
Nana
Justin, you should just run away while you're still alive. Sacrifices
have been made to save everyone's lives, including yours.... As such,
you should treasure and take good care of it.
Saki
Alright, let's get going people! Time to head on back to Mecina!!!
Justin
Everyone's... gone.... I... where should I go...?
Exit the camp and head on to Savanna Plains. Looking very kanashii,
Justin trips and falls flat on his face in the mud.
Justin
Why... why did I ever want to become an adventurer? I went through all
kinds of crap just to make it here!
*** The myna bird appears
Justin
So you're alone too, huh? Well, that makes two of us, he, he, he.
Myna bird
Gaia! It's Gaia! Run away!!! There is nothing we can do!!! Run as far
away as you can!!! SQUAWK! SQUAWK!
Justin
There's nothing... we can do, huh? That's right....
*** The myna bird flies away.
Justin
Why did I ever think that I could protect this world...? A person can
start a new future with his or her own strength and convictions.... A
person can make a difference and change the times.... Why did I ever
believe in those ideals? And just how the heck can I start a new
future by myself... I can't do anything alone!!!
Why did I even go through all that trouble of crossing the world's
end.... And what was the point of even going to Alent...? I couldn't
even protect the person... the person that I love most with my own
strength!!!
Leen... I'm sorry.... I wasn't able to find the new path that you
mentioned....
*** Tiny orbs of light start flying over Justin
Justin
Spirits... calling...? Are they calling me...? They're headed toward
Jilpadon.... That's right... Gido.... He should be able to tell me
what I should do....

*******************************
Reunion
Jilpadon's town square
Man
The money that you and the Moge people gave us has really helped us
out a lot Guido... I don't know what to say.... We owe the Moge a lot,
not just financially... It's quite embarrassing. It's a good thing
that you and the other Moge have thought about this. We're truly
grateful.
Gido
Well, we did save the money just for a time like this one. Now then,
just hang in there okay? We all have to do our best to pull through.
Man
Yeah!
Justin
Ha, ha, ha.... Hey there Gido... That's right... you guys really think
far ahead don't you? That's really impressive.... I mean, it's not
like me at all.... I can never seem to think ahead--or simply think
for that matter.... I really envy you... you're so... capable. I, on
the other hand, can't seem to do anything right.... By the way, is it
okay if I help you out over here, huh, Gido?
Gido
Come now, cut that out, Justin. This kind of job doesn't suit you.
Justin
Ha, ha, ha... well, I was thinking about helping you like, throw stuff
away or something.
Gido
Throw stuff away...? What do you mean? Don't you know that Moge's
don't ever throw anything away? Even objects that you would normally
think have no value, possess an inert spiritual qualtiy within them
that humans can find use for. That's why we Moges make use of
everything.
Justin
Please, Gido... let me help you out. Even just a little bit.
Gido
Justin... what have I told you time and time again? Every person has a
purpose to fulfill in his or her own way.
Justin
But I can't do anything on my own! What the heck can I do?!
Gido
You're the only one who seems to think so. Look!
Justin
Spirits.. It's the spirits! Why? Why are they here?
Gido
During this world's more enlightened times, the spirits have always
treated human beings as if they were their own children. That was,
until Gaia influenced humans and ruined their hearts. A lot of time
has passed since those dark times, and there hasn't been a person who
has thought of a way to reunite the humans' lost and fragmented
hearts.
But you, Justin... you're different! I believe that you are capable of
doing this!
Justin
Me?! What the heck are you talking about?! I don't think that it's me
at all! Feena was the one who saved Jilpadon! Leen was the one who
recently stopped Gaia! And Myuren, on the other hand, is fighting to
the very end! I haven't done anything! I'm not the person you're
looking for... There's nothing I can do....
Gido
Justin... I know you've always wanted to be the hero, but what can you
do by yourself?
Justin
Nothing! I can't do anything! But... that's because I'm alone...
that's why....
Gido
You're alone? You mean you haven't even sensed anything yet?

Juuustin~!
Justin
Eh? Sue?! What are you doing here? And everyone else is here too....
Sue
We've come!
Justin
W-why...?
Milda
Justin... you're a man aren't you? Don't you know that it's a woman's
role to wait for her knight in shining armor to rescue her? I'm
talking about Feena, of course.
Sue
That's right! Geez, this isn't like you at all! Besides, didn't you
promise that you and Feena are always gonna go adventuring together?!
Riethe
Nevertheless, Feena is a Koyokujin. There's no way back from the path
that her existence leads her to. That's why you need to make a new one
using the strength you have within. Only you can open the doors that
normally won't open.
Rapp
That's right, Justin. There is still is something that you can do.
Besides, it really doesn't suit me when I try to use my head. I'm the
kind of guy who's only good at yapping.
Riethe
That is correct!
Rapp
Yep, I really hate having to use my head that's for sure, he, he!
Justin
Rapp... Riethe....
Gadwin
They're right.... You possess great strength as a fighter and as a
man, Justin. And you also have great friends.
Justin
Guys... you're....
Gido
See? Take a good look! Do you still think you're alone? What you see
before you... the source of your strength! And that's not limited to
the people that are currently present here. You've also made ties that
bind you to the others that you've met along the way. These ties
you've made are your true strength. That's why you have to use your
strength in order to save the world. This is your calling.
Sue
Justin, how long do you plan on taking a break? Aren't you going to
help Feena?
Rapp
Yeah, and don't forget those people in the village of stone either!
Riethe
And I can finally break the chains that bind my fortune. I'll finally
be able to make an inscription on my stone block!
Justin
That's right.... I've only just gained the strength that I can truly
use. Everyone... I'm pretty sure that if we put our strength together,
then everything will be fine. This is going to be a battle, after all!
Let's go guys! It looks like I'm not alone anymore! Watch me, spirits!
I'm going for it!
*** Portal appears
Justin
Huh? What's that?
Riethe
That's... ... .... Justin, that's the Spirit Gate! This gate is
similar to the one that the True Existence once opened within the
former Enjule Civilization. The True Existence is thought to have been
alive since the dawning of this world. This act proves that the True
Existence still lives.
At this very moment, the spirits have acknowledged you and they want
you to enter the Holy Land. From the looks of it, they want to start a
whole new world.... (I've heard that somewhere before...)
Justin
The spirits... have acknowledged me...?
Riethe
That is correct, they have definitely acknowledged you. And what's
more, the Holy Land is where new spirit stones come from. Let's enter
the Holy Land, Justin. Just as they have acknowledged you, you must
likewise, acknowledge the spirits' gesture. I'm sure that once you do,
then they will lend you their power.
Justin
Ah.....! I see! Alright! Let's head on to the Holy Land!
*** Talk to your peers
Sue
Honestly, to think of all the trouble I went through just to come
here, me being a sophisticated lady and all. You really are hopeless,
Justin. You know what though? It's only been some time since I last
saw you and you already look different!
Justin
You think so? I haven't even noticed anything.
Sue
Yup! You've definitely changed alright! Let me see... hmm... is it
your... face? You know what? I can't figure it out either! I guess
you're just fine even without me after all! Well now, we don't have
time to dilly-dally around. You need to go rescue Feena!
Gadwin
I wasn't worried one bit about how you were going to turn out ever
since our last meeting. You've already grown into real man so I know
that you were going to be just fine . Now I'm curious to see which of
us is truly stronger. You must engage me in a duel sometime. But
before we do that, you have to take care of some unfinished business
first.
Justin
Gadwin....
Gadwin
Go rescue Feena.... I am sure that you'll return to us alive. Then we
can have the pleasure of clashing swords.
Milda
Honestly, men can be such a pain sometimes. Even Darin' gets depressed
so easily. Then again, that's what makes them so cute! But Justin, you
have to hang in there and get yourself together, okay? Feena's waiting
right? That kid's gonna be depressed if she hears you saying stuff
like that. Just go and embrace your destiny okay? You're a man now, so
I'm sure you'll be fine.
Gido
You're not gonna spew out any of that rubbish about assisting me
again, are you? You do understand the part you play in life now,
right? So just leave everything here to us, okay? That's the part that
I'M going to play out. Just remember... if you blow it, then all our
efforts will be for naught.... However, I'm sure that you'll do just
fine. I have the utmost faith in you Justin!

Redemption
Riethe
From this point on you must choose which path to take. Only you,
Justin, can proceed. Let the spirits know what your thoughts hold.
You must convey to them that they need to give this world and its
people one more chance....
Justin
I have come all this way! I've come all this way... so you may place
the final answer that I seek within my hands. You are spirits... and
we are human.... There are things that we have lost... and things we
have forgotten. Now, I am here because we must all start anew. That
is why I have come all this way.
We are human! Up to this point, we have compiled many mistakes and
grievances. Leen... who possesses powers similar to those of the
Koyokujin... has, unfortunately, passed away. And at this very
moment, Feena is reliving the Koyokujin's sorrowful plight. We humans
don't possess this power, is that not right...? How then, can we
change anything?
We believe! We believe that we can change fate! Many people have
already been sacrificed.... This time, I don't want to see any more
hurt and grieving people! The chains of sorrow must be broken! I
want to set things straight... for the sake of all the people... for
the sake of the spirits... and for the sake of our living planet! It
is for this very purpose... that you must lend me your strength!
*** The spirits give Justin their response....
Justin
This isn't going to do! What I need right now is strength that I can
use to fight! Strength that can cut a new future for us!
*** The spirit orb/stone is transformed into the spirit sword....
Rapp
You did it, Justin! Man, you're really awesome!
Riethe
Finally, a legend from the past shows itself yet once again.... You
now hold it in your hands, Justin. The very power that the Koyokujin
possessed.... The power that will save this world and its people.
Justin
I finally understand everything clearly.... The spirits have extended
their hand to us.... Together... we will start a new future. I
believe that this is what the spirits were trying to convey. We must
let those two... Feena and Myuren... know this as well.

Metamorphosis
Justin
Wh-what's going on?!
Riethe
Oh no... it looks like Gaia is undergoing his final transformation!
Gaia transforms...
Riethe
We have no time to lose! If Gaia manages to spread its spawn
throughout the planet, our world will be facing some very grave and
serious problems!
Justin
Damn it! We can't let that happen! Let's go, Rapp, Riethe! We'll need
to go through Military Fortress J to reach Gaia!
*** Inside the fortress
Riethe
Justin, Rapp... can you feel it? Gaia has been tearing through this
very structure as it grows. We should be able to find a passageway
connecting to his body from within this place.
*** Find a huge hole in the wall....
Justin
In here...?
Riethe
It does look like it leads to Gaia, doesn't it?
Rapp
Hey, Justin! What are you waiting for? We don't have time to
dilly-dally around! Let's go!

A new path
Justin
Hey, that's....
Myuren
Hmph, it's not over yet! I won't go down at a place like this!
Feena
Please... give me strength....
Justin
Hold on, Feena! I'm coming!
Feena
J-Justin!
*** Justin leaps down to the platform and incenerates the Gaia Battlers'
collective butts with a Spirit Sword assisted Ryujinken
Justin
We've come to help you... Feena, Myuren.... Leen's words have come
back to me. I finally understand what she meant. If we all fight with
one heart, then the spirits will give us their blessing. When the
thoughts of humans and the spirits are as one, all kinds of miracles
will be revealed!!! Once we defeat Gaia, then we can truly start a new
future for ourselves.
Feena
J-Justin... that sword...? I can feel the presence of the spirits
within it....
Justin
This sword was given to us by the spirits themselves. It's the sword
that will cut a new future for all of us!
Feena
J-Justin.... Finally... the spirits have finally acknowledged us!!!
Justin!
Myuren
I refuse to believe this nonsense! The spirits have never forgiven the
sins and transgressions of humankind! Why would they forgive us
foolish mortals now?
Justin
Myuren.... The spirits never stayed away from us humans.... They have
always been extending their hand out to us. In truth, it was humans
who forsook the spirits and stayed away from them! Humans, Myuren!
Humans in the very same mold as you!
Myuren
W-What?! H-How dare you say that?! You can flap those lips of yours
all you want, Justin, but it won't change anything! If you want me to
believe your words as truth, then you'll have to prove it to me! Prove
it to me with your actions and that sword you hold!
Justin
I understand, Myuren! Let's get it on!
*** Battle between Justin and Myuren. Defeat Myuren and...
Myuren
Ungh! Justin... th-this power?! Have the spirits truly acknowledged
you? Have they really acknowledged mankind yet once again...?! I
should have had more faith in Leen's words.... I was the one who
didn't understand after all....How could I have been so foolish? I
carelessly caused her death... and now my actions may have just doomed
all of us....
Feena
You're wrong, Myuren! We still have time! All of us made our share of
mistakes, not just you! That's why Leen went out of her way to buy us
some more time.
Justin
Come with us, Myuren. Let us fight... together. If we all combine our
strength, then Gaia doesn't stand a chance.
Myuren
Should I... fight one more time? Will the spirits offer me their
divine protection as well?
Feena
It'll be alright, Myuren! If I... Justin... you... Leen... and
everybody else in the world join hands, then the spirits will surely
give us their blessing.
Myuren
... I have already exhausted all my strength in this place....I have
followed the "path" as far as I can go.... However, I see that the
path has now changed! For the sake of our Mother Earth... and for all
the people in this world... we must forge ourselves a new future! Let
us go together, Justin! (Man, I just watched that Slayers episode
where Gourry dresses as a girl and battles that gay Sea Monster again
just a couple of hours ago. The seriousness of this part is now
escaping me) This time, I'll use my strength for the good of everyone
else.
Feena
Thank you, Myuren....
*** Later on outside... I am treated yet once again to one of these
automatic "unstoppable text" scenarios... crap....
Nana
Sir Myuuuuren~!
Myuren
What the-? That's Lt. Nana! What in blazes could she be doing here? I
specifically ordered the rest of the army to disperse!
Saki
Hold on, Nana! What're you doing hogging all the glory?!
Mio
That's right! The plan was for all three of us to stay together!
Nana
What are you whining about? It's not my fault that you guys are slow
as molasses!
Sue
Justin! Your backup's here!
Gadwin
It looks like I just found a new place to train. I shall torch this
Gaia fiend to the ground!
Milda
Justin, we've decided to join forces with the soldiers! We'll all be
fighting together!
Gido
Thanks to you, the soldiers and the people are now fighting as one! We
do have one common enemy after all.
Saki, Nana, Mio
All units are now in position!
All Kite jets have been refueled and ready to go!
Refugees have been sent to safe havens!
All preparations are now complete. The military's final mission is now
underway! Please assume command, Sir Myuren!
Myuren
Ha, ha.... These women are hopeless. It looks like the military still
need my help. I will have to withdraw from this particular mission.
I'll take care of things here outside. Justin, Feena... please focus
on the destruction of the Spirit Stone.
Justin
Understood, Myuren.
Myuren
Please return to us alive, Justin, Feena....
Feena
You too, Myuren.
Myuren
Well then, I leave everything to you, Justin.

Man, they didn't all have to come here like this.... Oh well, we still
have some unfinished business to take care of here!

GAIA CORE
We know you. We know what you love and what you hate.
Just like us you despise many things and you live to take what you
want by force.
You want to rob the whole world and its spoils and desire nothing else
but that.
Justin
Humans don't live for that purpose ! We've come here so we can all
start a new life !
Riethe
Please go, Justin, Feena... From here on, only you two can accomplish
this task
Rapp
We'll wait for you outside. Come once you're done.
Riethe
I can feel the wavelength of the Spirit stone in this direction... It
must be Gaia's core... Justin, Feena, now, you are on the verge of the
wheel of another fate
Change it with thy hands.
Take all of the world's fate oustide the wheel
Justin
Okay, understood... But Gaia, the Spirit stone, the Kouyokujin,
they'll all be ruined.
Rapp
Yeah, I don't like it, but big times are always for Justin !
Even if Gaia is destroyed, this place won't disappear, right ?
We'll be waiting safely down here, won't we Riethe ?
Riethe
Right, let's do so.
Only a hero and a Kouyokujin can change the last fate.

I wanted to stay with you till the end... But, I'll pass the big times
because you're Mr Hero !
Heyhey, don't make such a weird face, will ya !
Take it easy, I was just kidding, you know !
This way, now, I'll be proud to think I was able to fight by your side!
Hero or not, I know I fought by the side of a great guy called Justin !!
*** Talk to Rapp again :
Heyhey, make it end now !
It's my buddy, the hero Justin !

When I inherited the name "Riethe", I knew I was inheriting a fate of
waiting
And eternity was such a long time....
Protecting Alent's memories...
Watching after the large wheel called "fate"
I thought this was my duty
However, I suppose this was wrong...
From the wheel of a beautiful fate a world has emerged, a freed world
that will go with its own will
Because you let me see this, Justin, thank you. I am happy.
I'm not remembering the things the former Riethe's desired I now have
the feeling of having seen it with my own eyes

So, Justin, show us, please, the door to a new world opening with a
sound, at this moment...

catastrophes strikes, the chains of a sad myth...

things... Its light has always brightened the right way. Yet the
light's duty is over. From now on our own light shall brighten the way
to the future !

I can speak Filipino, another dialect called Pangasinan, and of
course, English. I recently graduated from the University of Nevada
with a B.A. in Journalism. As far as Japanese, I only studied it
for a year at the university but I did a lot of self-study at home
and I regularly have conversations with my Japanese friends here.
My hobbies are (this is starting to sound like some stupid match
making ad) writing, drawing, painting, photography, cooking,
playing the occassional video game and studying Japanese. I like
a lot of games but my all time favorite is the Ninja Ryukenden
series (Ninja Gaiden in America) for the good old NES (if I list
all the games I like there won't be any space). My sign is...

Dyne is a 18 year old hoser from Canada, who was shipped
off for 9 months to Japan to go to school there, and came
back with the attitude that he has the Mad Skillz (tm) in
Japanese to help with this translation. His current favorite
games are Grandia, Lunar: TSS (Sega CD), FF6 and Dracula X:
Nocturne in the Moonlight. His current wish is that SoA would
translate Grandia so that he can stop sitting in front of
the screen staring at too many kanji trying to convince
himself he understands, but this translation is the next
best thing. Movies: Anything by Studio Ghibli, and Gattaca
is his current fav. Music: EBTG, Cardigans, and UA.
