Part 139: Yuri and the Lower Quarter, Sylph's Past, and The Best Mystic Arte

Today, we'll do some random scenes that don't really fit anywhere else. It's a pretty short update and not particularly exciting, but enjoy anyway!

To start with, there's a new scene in the Lower Quarter.

Good to see the blastia's still working fine.

But soon it'll stop for good...

Yuri! I told you to give me a shout when you come home.

Hey, look who we have here. And why would I want to talk to an old nag like you?

Oh, Flynn came with you. I didn't see you there.

It's been a while, Mr. Hanks.

No need for formalities, this is your home too. Feel free to let loose.

So Flynn gets to let loose and I have to behave? I see how it is.

Hey, Yuri! One of the royal quarter's lux blastia had its core stolen. It's a big problem for the people who live there. Did you happen to see a lux blastia core when you found the aque blastia core?

Dunno. Best to leave royal quarter problems to royals.

That'll take too long. I heard that it's so dark at night that it's too dangerous to go out now.

Heard from who?

The brat's made a new friend in the royal quarter. And a cute girl, at that!

Oh yeah? I see why you're worried.

Hey, can't you keep your big mouth shut?! Come on, you guys. Can't you come to the royal quarter with me?

Well, if you insist...

We'll be back in just a bit.

It ain't surprising comin' from Flynn since he's a knight, but it's somethin' else ta see Yuri's nurturing side.

Technical sidenote, you can still see Yuri/Flynn in the back right there, they're supposed to be gone. I think whoever made or QA'd this scene had overscan on his TV.

And when someone threatens his family, he'll show no mercy.

It's funny to think that this is the guy who's going to fight the Adephagos and save the world.

True. I never really took him for the world-saving type.

He isn't fighting to save the world. He's just doing what he always does. He's fighting to protect his family. If saving the world meant his family would be put at risk, he wouldn't do it. He'd find another way, so they wouldn't have to die.

Really...?

That'd make him pretty darn self-centered.

Do you think so? I think it's normal to feel the way he does. I'd never claim to be saving the world for the sake of people I've never even met.

You've got a point.

All right, all right. After I'm done with that monster in the sky, I'll take care of it.

I'll make sure to speak to the knights on your behalf, too.

Really?! All right! You guys are the best!

You see that? That's how our to-do list keeps getting bigger.

What are you all whispering about?

Seeing all this makes me kind of happy. I never had a family myself.

Huh? What's up? Come on, we should get going.

Then we have a scene with Sylph that triggers upon reentering Relewiese Hollow.

How come you're out and about?

I find this place... soothing.

Say, when I fell from Zaude, the one who really saved me was you, wasn't it? I doubt Duke could have saved me on his own.

Yes, that is so.

I believe Yuri also said he saw you in the Sands of Kogorh.

Which means you've saved my life twice now.

Thanks are certainly in order.

There is no need to thank me. I merely acted on a whim.

Either way, I'm grateful that you saved me.

Duke had instructed me to do so.

Why were you willing to go to such lengths for him?

Did ya fall for him or somethin'?

Who can say? I've never thought of it that way.

Then why?

Your father...?

My father went on a long journey with him, and fought by his side. My father had lived a long life, and had grown tired of the world. However, Duke brought joy to his life through their conversations. He told me that Duke was very dear to him, so I...

I see. You were Elucifur's daughter.

An Entelexeia family...

It is a very rare occurrence. Entelexeia are typically solitary beings, born from aer, adapting to aer.

That's why all of you look so different.

I have never met another Entelexeia that has relatives myself. But it is a fact that I did have a father, so I believe my own feelings about family are much like a human's. I wanted to help my father's friend...

When you were in the Knights... Was that for Duke as well?

It was probably to keep an eye on Alexei. You informed Duke of what he was doing. Am I right?

Yes, but in the end, Duke chose to go down a path of hardship...

It's not too late. If we stop the Adephagos, Duke won't have any reason to act.

Aye. It's time we drag Duke out of the spotlight.

Yes, you are right. If we succeed, he too will be saved. He may once again return to a life of tranquillity...

Then all we have to do is take that thing down!

Yeah!

Huh?

That's what they call falling in love.

I... No. Perhaps I did. But that is in the past now. I am no longer the Entelexeia, Khroma. I am now the spirit of the wind, Sylph.

And third, we have a new scene with Sicily in Heliord.

What are you doing here, Witcher?

C-Captain Flynn! I'm, ah, well...!

Are you sure you should be shooting the breeze out here? I thought you were in the middle of setting up the blastia network.

Aye, this is definitely fishy.

There's nothing fishy going on! The network's right on schedule and we're making steady progress. In fact, I just finished setting up the barrier blastia here!

I see. Good work.

Shouldn't you be moving on to the next place in the network, then?

Research?

Hey, ain't that Sicily over there?

Does your research have something to do with him?

H-he's a great blastia engineer!

You're a mage. Aren't blastia bodies a little outside your area of expertise?

So? It's still got something to do with blastia! I'm sure there's all sorts of things to study! I'm not going to limit myself!

How very diligent.

You really are a hard worker. I could learn a thing or two.

N-no, you're...

Rita may have gotten where she is through natural genius, but Witcher got here through hard work. Right? If ya don't watch yerself, he'll shoot right past ya!
