Part 97: Gumbo NPC Chatter 6

Welcome ba-





Nope, fuck this, I'm out. See you two freakos later in cannibal hell.



Oh god, it just keeps getting worse!

: I am no longer a child. I cannot live just in a dream. Hold me tightly so that I can feel you strongly.

: Oh, I love you so much I could eat you. But if I did that, I couldn't see you any longer. In a world without you, I would be like a polliwog without front legs.



: Well, let's dance to the chorus of frogs in the background. My sweet frog front legs.

I... I just...

geh



Because she had to sneak into a brothel to rescue you?

: Of course, to avoid being sacrificed. Hmm? Wait, by chance, did you come here not knowing anything?

: Naturally. No one volunteers to be sacrificed.

: We are happy. ♥ We are so happy, we don't even notice what's around us.

Good excuse for not being further away from the freaky cannibal frog couple.

: I'm glad that you're strong people. ♥ The village no longer has to prepare sacrifices.

: You talk about sacrifices so casually.... I guess we were safe, so it's OK, but....

: Wait, why did you emphasize "has to"?

: Run for it!



: I am so joyful that the volcano is back, I will sing to you a very cultural and peaceful song!



Whatever else there is about this game, it's the goofy charm that gets me every time.

: We don't understand anything at all of frogs.



: No, it wasn't like that.

: Never mind. You don't have to be modest at a time like this. I heard you did quite a job in Dight. Tell me the story some time. I love hearing traveler's stories. But the only travelers are peddlers like Guido. I rarely hear traveler's tales. Gadwin, you're all discipline, and have no time for talk.



: Justin, is he talking about...?

: The couple, from a catapult?

: Ah, of course! It's the Spirits!

: Spirits? What's that? What kind of thing are they?

: The Spirits are really pretty. Hurry up and find a cute little girl, and you'll see them. ♥

: OK! I want to see the Spirits! But do I really need a girlfriend to see them?



: Out of respect for the strength of that love, I'll stop trying to take you away from him, sweetheart.

: What are you saying? You're just a little kid!

: A kid? Love has nothing to do with age. You don't understand. Maybe you're the kid.

Clearly the kid learned this behavior from someone. But who?

: Say! Bobby told me that he likes me, too! That's so wonderful! I'm happier than the sun is large!

: Golly, even the kids in this village are becoming couples.



Suddenly I am terribly disappointed we never get to meet Bobby.

: Ha ha. I can see why your Daddy is worried.

: What do you mean? Bobby is incredible!

: Hee hee. Young love can be blind.

: I love Bobby because he's sooooooo cool!



Swordfighting robo-narwhals on the moon?

: It's a light-hearted story about a happy couple, but there's got to be some tragedy to make it exciting. Spinning in laughter and flooding in tears is the type of masterpiece I'm trying to write. Umm... Something with love, laughter, and tears....



: This is just too much. Right, Justin?

: Yes, completely. Ha ha ha.

: Age has nothing to do with love. We don't lose out to youngsters. Right, Grandma?

I dunno, dude. The vodka might be good, but the meat's probably a little rotten, if you know what I mean.

: How about it, Grandpa, just the two of us rest leisurely in the shade?

Man, just reading tha-



No stealing my jokes! Bad game!



: Forever, forever and forever. I want to be with you everywhere. ♥

: Hmm. The strength of your bond is like a pair of flying dragons.

: Aaaah. If I am with Tom Tom, it makes no difference if we become a pair here and now. ♥

: Tomorrow and every day after, from now and always I will be with Taylor. Ah as long as I'm with Taylor, I would need neither food nor air.

: You wouldn't go on living either.

What a shame.

: I cannot be away from Taylor for even a moment.



: When I heard that you offered to be eaten for us, I felt I had been saved.

: No one talked about being eaten! All the facts have been turned upside down.

: Still, if you consider that, thanks to you, this village was saved, you can't get mad, can you? Ha ha.

: Now maybe even Justin will start acting with a little caution.



Justin's been hogging all the good lines this update.

: I'm happy that the village returned to normal. I wonder how long the festival will go on this time.



: How I ache to show off my love for her! I am with beautiful Lulu, the hot spring has returned, and the crops will start growing! From now on, I don't have any worries! Hooray! I feel great. This is heaven! Hooray!

: Ooooh! ♥ We are so in love! I want to be in love like this forever, Toto. ♥ Today, tomorrow, forever! Returning to a pleasant village, spending the whole day with Toto, I have nothing more to say. ♥



: The Brave Couple! Are you flirting as always? We are, too. ♥

Right, that was as awkward as ever. Let's check up on how those kids are doing.



Bros before hoes. Shirumi's got the right idea.

: What's wrong? It spoils your pretty face when you get so mad.

: Well, all Shirumi thinks about is Gongo. Is he saying a male friendship is more important than love?



: But this is a tale I heard from my grandmother. Young couples today probably don't know this. My grandmother is proud that she married for great love, so the tale about being wed must be true.

: ... ... ...

: I wish a couple would show up. Or maybe they've already been to the island at night?



They've been doing a lot of that.

: You know, they say if there's just the two of you on the island, you'll fall in love. So, if you become a couple, you must come to this island! That's what you should do.

: I understand that if you throw a coconut tot he couple, your wish will come true, but what would you wish?

: To find a wonderful boyfriend, of course.

: You're desperate, aren't you?



: I tried to stop them, but they both got angrier. I couldn't stop them. Why am I the one stopping the fight, when I was the one fighting first?

: What is it? I'm friends with Gongo, and I don't have anything to apologize about to Yuiyui.

: What are you doing? All you guys do is fight.

: Yuiyui can't handle the fact that Gongo and I are friends. She's being a control freak girlfriend!



Oh dear. Hopefully the three of them can find some way to patch things up later.
