\s[2]
Hey, you're from the\n
Western Isles, right?|

\s[5]
Yeah...|\n
How did you know?|

\s[2]
Easy, your face.|\n
All the men from that area\n
have features like that.|

\s[5]
...They do?|

\s[2]
Are you going back home\n
after the war?|\n
If you are,\n
I could use your help.|

\s[5]
Yeah?|

\s[2]
I'm planning on building a new\n
village in the Western Isles.|\n
It'll be for people who lost\n
their homes during the war.|\n
I want you to help build it.|

\s[5]
All right,\n
I'll do what I can...|

\s[2]
Really?|\n
Thanks.|

\s[5]
But I can't promise.|\n
I can only help if I'm still\n
alive when the war ends.|

\s[2]
Saying things like that already?|

\s[5]
I'm just saying it because\n
it's entirely possible.|\n
I can't be making empty promises\n
If I don't know whether I'll\n
survive or not...|

\s[2]
You're such a worrier\n
for someone so young.|\n
You'll be getting gray hairs\n
before you're thirty at that rate.|

\s[5]
...I will?|

## Echidna x Lot B
\f[2|Echidna]\f[5|Lot]
\s[2]
Hey, it's you again.|

\s[5]
You're the one who wanted\n
to build the village...|

\s[2]
Right,\n
the plan's coming along smoothly.|\n
A free village,\n
open to anybody...|\n
That's my dream.|

\s[5]
Do you have the money to build it?|

\s[2]
...Well, we're suddenly getting\n
realistic.|\n
You see...|\n
I actually don't know.|\n
But I know of the mines in the\n
Western Isles, so I'm planning on\n
going in and hitting a jackpot.|

\s[5]
That seems pretty unrealistic to me...|\n
...Oh, wait.|\n
I know of an old, deserted mine.|

\s[2]
Really?|

\s[5]
Yeah, I went there with Wade\n
when I was a kid.|\n
There were rumors that the place\n
was haunted, so nobody went near it.|

\s[2]
I see.|

\s[5]
Wade seemed really scared,
he probably believed the rumors.|\n
We went in a little, and suddenly\n
Wade screamed and started running\n
toward the entrance.|\n
So I followed him out.|

\s[2]
Was there something in there?|

\s[5]
Yeah, snakes.|\n
Lots of them.|\n
They covered the whole cave floor.|\n
I was trying to figure out why\n
there were snakes in there...|\n
But anyway, the mine was\n
closed because of them.|

\s[2]
I see...|\n
So there might still be some\n
gold left in there.|\n
Sounds interesting.|\n
We might be able to get the money\n
for the village there.|\n
Say, can you take me there when\n
you get the chance?|

\s[5]
I don't mind...|\n
But it'll be dangerous.|

\s[2]
Oh, that won't be a problem.|\n
You'll be there to protect me.|

\s[5]
...Me?|

## Echidna x Lot A
\f[2|Echidna]\f[5|Lot]
\s[2]
Hey, how are you doing?|

\s[5]
Yeah, I'm still alive.|

\s[2]
Don't you die.|\n
I'm counting on you to survive.|

\s[5]
I don't plan on dying.|\n
I have a sister back home.|\n
And also...|

\s[2]
Also what?|

\s[5]
No, nothing.|

\s[2]
Oh, I get it.|\n
You've got a special somebody\n
waiting for you, eh?|\n
Well, well aren't you the lucky\n
man.|

\s[5]
......|\n
Anyway, I'm planning on going home soon,\n
granted that I stay alive...|

\s[2]
Are you worrying about that again?|\n

\s[5]
The enemy is getting stronger\n
all the time.|\n
I don't know how much longer I\n
hold out.|

\s[2]
......|

\s[5]
I know that we'll win in the end...|\n
But I don't know whether I'll be\n
able to go home.|

\s[2]
Come on,\n
don't be so stupid.|

\s[5]
...I'm stupid?|

\s[2]
Someone of your age should be\n
enjoying life!|\n
I know you're probably worrying about\n
your sister and all sorts of things.|\n
But you have to go running around\n
more freely.|\n
You'll probably run into walls and\n
hit your head from time to time,\n
but that's life.|

\s[5]
...I don't think I want to be\n
hitting my head.|

\s[2]
Don't worry, even if you die,\n
I'll take care of things for you.|\n
So you can go out and get\n
killed without any worries!|
...You know?|

\s[5]
......|\n
She seemed to be saying something\n
different than what she was originally\n
talking about...|\n
But...was she trying to cheer me up?|

Wade
## Echidna x Wade C
\f[2|Echidna]\f[5|Wade]
\s[2]
Hey, you're from the\n
Western Isles, aren't you?|

\s[5]
.....|\n
How did you know?|

\s[2]
I can tell by your face.|

\s[5]
Really?|\n
Something tells me otherwise...|

\s[2]
Are you going back to your\n
hometown after the war?|\n
If you are, I could use your help.|

\s[5]
Help doing what?|

\s[2]
Now you're talking.|\n
You see...|\n
I have a plan to build a new village\n
on the Western Isles for those people\n
who lost their homes in the war.|\n
I was wondering if you could\n
help out.|

\s[5]
What do you me to do?|

\s[2]
Oh, lots of things.|\n
Chopping firewood, laundry, cooking..|

\s[5]
...I'm not a servant, you know.|\n
I'm going to live as a mercenary.|\n
Sorry, but could you ask someone\n
else...|

\s[2]
So that means you'll help\n
us out.|\n
I knew just by looking at your\n
eyes that you'd understand...|

\s[5]
Wait, that's not what I said!|\n
Don't put words in my mouth!|

\s[2]
...Don't lie to yourself.|\n
You know you want to.|

\s[5]
Right, I know I don't want to!|

\s[2]
Come on, your eyes are saying\n
that you want to help.|

\s[5]
No they're not!|

## Echidna x Wade B
\f[2|Echidna]\f[5|Wade]
\s[2]
Hey.|

\s[5]
You again...|\n
I'm not helping, all right?|

\s[2]
Trust me, you don't want to\n
be a mercenary.|\n
You never know when you're going\n
to die.|\n
And besides, you're weak.|

\s[5]
Erg...|\n
You'll regret saying that...|\n
You don't want to piss me off.|

\s[2]
Oh?|

\s[5]
What are you looking at\n
me like that for!|\n
I once killed monsters stronger\n
than any human, you know!|

\s[2]
Wow, now that's something.|\n
What kind of beast was it?|

\s[5]
...Near my village...\n
there's this weird cave.|\n
When I was a kid, there were rumors\n
rumors that the cave was filled\n
with strange creatures.|\n
So one day I took Lot and went to\n
defeat them.|

\s[2]
Yeah?|

\s[5]
The inside of the cave was damp...|\n
I could tell something wasn't right.|\n
Lot was scared, but I was fine.|\n
I led the way...and suddenly,\n
there they were.|\n
The monsters were crawling all\n
over the cave floor.|\n
Long, skinny bodies writhing around,\n
and they were all scaly and spotted..|

\s[2]
Snakes?|

\s[5]
......|
Well, I guess they did look like snakes.\\n
But these were no ordinary snakes.|\n
They're real monsters, with poison\n
and strange dances and weird moves..|

\s[2]
Yeah...I guess.|\n
Where is this cave?|

\s[5]
... What?|

\s[2]
I'll go check it out on the way\n
way to the village site.|\n
I'm kind of curious about it now.|

\s[5]
B-But I already killed all\n
the monsters, so..|

\s[2]
You said they were all over\n
the cave floor.|\n
One might have escaped.|\n
They're no ordinary snakes, right?|\n
I really want to see them.|

\s[5]
Erg...|

## Echidna x Wade A
\f[2|Echidna]\f[5|Wade]
\s[2]
Well, we meet again.|\n
Well?|\n
Doesn't looking at my face make you\n
want to help out?|

\s[5]
No.|\n
...But...|\n
When this war is over, it might be\n
a good idea to go back to my\n
hometown.|\n
If I get bored, I might drop by\n
and help.|

\s[2]
Do you have family back home?|

\s[5]
What?|\n
Yeah, I have an older sister\n
who's always yelling at me.|

\s[2]
...Sigh...|\n
You're pretty stupid,\n
aren't you?|

\s[5]
Stupid?|\n
What do you mean by stupid...|

\s[2]
You've got a home to return to.|\n
You've got someone waiting for you.|

\s[5]
......|

\s[2]
You can help us out if you want,\n
but you must go back home to\n
your sister.|\n
Got it?|

\s[5]
Y-Yeah, you don't have to tell me...|\n
Damn... it feels like I’ve got\n
another older sister now...|

Larum
## Echidna x Larum C
\f[2|Echidna]\f[5|Larum]
\s[5]
Echidna!|

\s[2]
Hey, Larum.|\n
What's up?|

\s[5]
What's happening with the plan?|

\s[2]
Plan?|

\s[5]
Yeah, the plan about\n
building that village.|

\s[2]
Oh.|\n
Yeah, I've been going around\n
recruiting help.|\n
Are you going to help out, too?|

\s[5]
Of course!|\n
What do you want me to do?|

\s[2]
Dance, of course.|\n
Your dancing cheers everyone up.|\n
It makes people feel like getting up\n
and working some more.|

\s[5]
You think so?|\n
Hmm...|\n
Well, I can cook, too.|\n
You know my Special Stamina...|

\s[2]
No way.|

\s[5]
W-What?|

\s[2]
Ever since I started the rebellion,\n
I've been eating your...\n
I can't even bear to say it in\n
words.|\n
Anyway, I wouldn't call it food.|

\s[5]
I never!|\n
I've always been trying...|

\s[2]
Look, Larum.|\n
You usually don't end up burning\n
the house down when you cook a\n
proper meal.|

\s[5]
That's not a big loss, considering\n
how well my food tastes.|

\s[2]
The wails and moans of the rebel leaders...|\n
I can still hear them echoing in my ears.|\n
Has Elphin ever eaten it?|

\s[5]
Yeah.|\n
But he didn't say anything.|

\s[2]
......|

\s[5]
You see?|\n
There's something wrong with everyone\n
else's taste buds.|\n
My food was probably too high-\n
class for them.|\n
Maybe...|\n
Roy might appreciate my fine\n
taste.|\n
Yes!|\n
I'm sorry, Echidna.|\n
I have to make Roy try my cooking!|

\s[2]
...I'm sorry, Roy...|

## Echidna x Larum B
\f[2|Echidna]\f[5|Larum]
\s[5]
Oh, Echidna.|

\s[2]
Larum.|\n
Hey...|\n
You were talking about feeding\n
that stuff to Roy, but...\n
did you really do it?|

\s[5]
What's that supposed to mean!?|\n
He praised me!|\n
He said that it was really...\n
uh...that it looked really good.|

\s[2]
So he ate it, huh?|\n
When's the funeral?|

\s[5]
Hmph!|\n
I just wasn't doing too well that\n
day!|\n
My stepfather always said that\n
he loved my cooking.|

\s[2]
Now, now, even if you can't cook, your\n
dancing is still the best in the world.|\n
I should be working hard, too, to let\n
the people live in peace.|

\s[5]
...You know,\n
you're really noble.|

\s[2]
W-What?|

\s[5]
You're always thinking about others.|\n
Even this, building a village so that\n
other people can live in peace.|

\s[2]
I...|

\s[5]
You're like those heroes that appear\n
in the sagas that bards sing!|\n
You appear, help the needy, and leave\n
as suddenly as you had come...|\n
You're also mysterious since you never\n
tell anybody about yourself.|

\s[2]
Right...I don't.|

\s[5]
But I won't ask.|\n
I'm really curious, but there must be\n
an important reason why you won't\n
tell us.|

## Echidna x Larum A
\f[2|Echidna]\f[5|Larum]
\s[5]
Hey, Echidna!|

\s[2]
Yeah?|

\s[5]
I just had a really\n
great idea!|

\s[2]
What is it?|

\s[5]
Do you want to hear it?|

\s[2]
Well, yeah.|

\s[5]
Are you sure?|

\s[2]
Yes, I'm sure.|\n
Come on, let's hear it.|

\s[5]
Okay.|\n
I was thinking, when the village is\n
done, let's put a statue there.|

\s[2]
A statue?|

\s[5]
A statue of you!|\n
It can have an engraving that says,\n
'A great hero lies here...'\n
or something like that.|

\s[2]
Hey, hey,\n
I don't plan on dying yet.|

\s[5]
Anyway, it's your village, so there\n
has to be a statue of you somewhere.|\n
Make sure you think of a pose for it.|

\s[2]
She's an odd girl...|\n
Well, I guess that's nothing\n
new.|

\s[5]
Oh, one more thing!|

\s[2]
What?|

\s[5]
Don't you go disappearing on us!|\n
We all love you, you know.|\n
Don't you dare try and\n
run off!|

\s[2]
......|\n
Yeah... I know, Larum.|
