Part 2: The Bear Man Cometh

Chapter 2: The Bear Man Cometh





"Hey you! Wake up already! I'll throw ya in the river again!"

"So you're finally awake? Hey, can you say your name?"



First Choice

"Not answering questions, huh! Well, what the hell were you doing in the river? Did you slip?"

Second Choice

"So you can talk, huh. What the hell were you doing in the river? Did you slip?"



Both choices are the same result

"State Army? What are you talking about? We just signed a peace agreement. I can't believe it... huh? Wait, are you a Highlander?"



First choice

"I see. So you and I are enemies. I'm Viktor, leader of the Mercenary Army and friend of The City-State of Jowston."


Second Choice

"Hmm... So where are you from then? If you lie, I'll cut out your tongue."



First choice

"The silent treatment, huh? That's not a cute quality in kids. Anyway, I'm Viktor, mercenary leader of the Allied Cities of Jowston."

Second Choice

"I see. So you and I are enemies. I'm Viktor, leader of the Mercenary Army and friend of The City-State of Jowston."



"What are you talking about, Flik? I wouldn't do that... I'm a nice guy. But anyway, what happened to the other one?"

"It's no good. We lost sight of him. I hope he made it..."

"Too bad... Okay, listen up. Whoever you are, you're gonna be my personal guest for a while. You may not find the accomodations too comfortable, though. Don't look so worried, we're not going to eat you or something."



Those who work must eat







I really think his name was supposed to be translated as Paul.

"I'm Pohl. I'm going to watch out for you. After breakfast you're going to do some work for us. After all, no work no eat."



"Oh, yeah, Riou. Anyway, look at this place. People around here are so lazy. The boss is no exception either. Whew... C'mon, push all of them tight against the wall."

The First Job



This is one of the more stupid things this game asks you to do.

"Wow, you did a pretty good job!"



First Choice

"Ha ha! Well said. Anyway, it's time for supper."

Second Choice

"I'm not surprised, you did it all yourself. After supper, get right to sleep."





So is this.

"Listen up and remember. Umm... go to the stockroom and get 2 pairs of 'boots'. Then get 3 flints at the blacksmith... and 2 bags of flour at the item store. I'll be waiting here, thanks."

The Second Job



I don't know why she looks like she's yelling. Anyway, we get the 'boots' and the 'flint' and now go after the 'flour.'



See?



"I see. We're out of flour, huh... Listen, will you go to Ryube Village for me? Don't worry, it's not far. But you can't go by yourself. Someone will have ot take you. Go and talk to Leona. I'll go unlock the door."



You see, Leona isn't just a regular tavernkeeper, she's a refined lady. Or something.





Awww!!

"Gengen, sorry to ask you to baby-sit, but could you take this kid with you?"

"Gengen soldier. Gengen not baby-sitter."

"Don't be like that. A Fine Kobold warrior like you should honor a lady's request."

"Aaah... you are right, my lady. Let's go, boy!! Follow Gengen."





"Oboy! Really? Take me with you too."

"Tuta, are you finished doing Dr. Huan's chores?"

"Yeah, I delivered the medicine. I've never been to Ryube and Dr. Huan won't mind if I'm a little bit late."

"Grrr... Gengen must baby-sit two children?"

"Please... kind Kobold warrior."

"...Okay! Just leave it to Gengen!!"





Although you may not believe it, Tuta, is in fact, a male.



"Okay, Riou, Ryube is northeast of here. You'll find it if you follow the road. Get some 'flour' at the item store there. You won't need to pay for it. Well, good luck and don't get lost."



"Gengen, it's not a forest or a mountain road. There won't be that many monsters. Right, Riou?"

"Soldier must not be overconfident. Gengen is leader of this group. So now you call me 'Captain Gengen.'"

"Okay, Captain Gengen."



First Choice

"Okay everyone, here we go! Stay with the Captain!!"

Second Choice

"Riou, what's wrong? Speak up! Be strong! Let's go!!"



And, as you can see, the world map hasn't changed much.

Will Riou and friends make it to Ryube!? (Hint: It's that town you can see there.)
