Part 41: The insipid poison of the world

The next morning...

Watch the cutscene!



It's too bad we've gotta split up.
Please come visit the castle anytime.
He'll really come if you say that.
What, didn't she just invite me?
Huh... Idiot...



That's right.



Oh, yes. I promise to do what I can about Ragou. To see that he gets the punishment he deserves.
Royal Guide: Princess, you should know...
What?
Royal Guide: ...You see... Lord Ragou has not been seen since last night. We do not yet know the details... His whereabouts are being investigated as we speak...
What could this mean...?
Maybe he got scared and ran away.



When I finish my analysis, I'll...um...pay a visit to the capital, too.



O-okay then, see ya!

Rita runs off.



I want to start up a guild with Yuri...
That sounds like a good idea.
Royal Guide: Your Highness...
Sorry, I'm ready now.
Shouldn't I...go get Yuri?
No... I wouldn't want to wake him.
All right...
Well, this is it...







Estelle and Rita already took off.
Oh...



I can meet them anytime I want.
Jeez, Yuri. Fine, if that's how you're gonna be.
Even if I did go, it would just make it harder for them to leave.

A loud sound can be heard from outside.

What the?

Yuri runs outside.



Yuri!



Karol! Any idea what that thing is?
No, I've never seen anything like that before... It's coming down!
Come on, Karol.
What? Hey, wait!


Skit: One Mess after Another
Just when I get to relax...I get dragged into another mess!
Yuri, fate really is out to get you!
Hey, it's not all my fault. You had a role in this, too!
But I never ran into gigantic monsters or got arrested by knights before I met you!
Well, things didn't go bad for me until I left the capital with Estelle.
...So that means...
Drop it. Keep moving.
R-right.


Watch the cutscene! (actiony and FMV, recommended)





Yuri... Protect Her Highness...
Yuri! Look!







Why is it just ignoring us?



Is it coming for...me?




Our finest Knights...! I am left with no choice...





Hah! You expect me to stand by while that thing makes a snack out of Estelle?!



It can speak...! Wh-who are you...?!



An explosion hits the monster from the left. It flies away.



Yuri!
You're safe.











What is that...?
Heracles...
Whoa, we've gotta get out of here!
I'm going to leave the city and continue my journey.
What do you mean?
If you're going back to the capital, you shouldn't keep Flynn waiting. It's for you to decide.



























Judith?



Look who's talking.



Come on, quickly!









Here comes the cavalry.



There are too many things I still need to know.
Surely, after returning to the capital you can...
The voices of the people suffering in Nor Harbor never reached the capital. I won't achieve anything if I'm not willing to approach these problems head on... I've come to realize that during my travels. That's why! That's why I have to keep going!
Your Highness...




Flynn, get this core back to the lower quarter!



I won't be going back to the capital anytime soon. I'm going to start up a guild. Give my regards to Hanks and everyone else.
Yuri...!
...A guild. So that's what you meant by doing things your own way.
Yeah, I've finally made up my mind.
...That's fine, but what about Princess--
Take care, Flynn.
Yuri...!



Right!
All right. Let's go. If we hang around here much longer, some of those Knights are bound to come after us.




Skit: The Monster that Attacked Dahngrest
That huge flying monster actually talked, right...? You ever heard of a monster like that?
I've never seen or heard of anything like that. I don't think anybody in the Hunting Blades has.
Man, first that thing in Caer Bocram, and now this. The world's just full of surprises... I don't care how many lives you have... It wouldn't be enough to fight that thing.
Y-yeah. Not even I feel like taking on a monster like that.





Alright, after that exciting series of events, what's the first thing we're gonna do? Right, reenter Dahngrest.


Watch the cutscene!



That's the guy we met at Keiv Moc...
Hello!
...
And here Estelle's being so nice... Somebody needs to work on their manners.
You're one to talk, Yuri. Hey, that monster's gonna attack us again if we keep wandering around here.
Y-yes, you're right.



...What? Oh, yes. Um...do you know what he meant by insipid po--?
What, is that your pet or something?
We follow the same course of action.
What? You're doing the same thing as a monster?
Then, does that mean you've come here to attack me too...?
My blade does not exist to pass sentence on humans... ...How odd... He has taken his leave... But why...?
...
Perhaps I am mistaken... No...

Duke walks off.

That guy still doesn't make any sense.
What do you think he's up to?
Who knows... Hey, we don't have time to just hang out here and enjoy the scenery.
Oh yeah...! We gotta go!


Hmm, what is up with that Duke? Guess we'll find out eventually. For now, let's actually leave.





Next time, we'll head towards Heliord and name our newly formed guild!
