00:00So you can build them that big, huh?
00:03Amazing.
00:05It's just that...
00:08Oh wow! Fancy meeting you here!
00:11Could this be my lucky day?
00:14Anywho, I'm here on vacation.
00:16After traveling around Sumeru with you,
00:18I've only gotten faster and better at making fireworks.
00:22Business has been slow lately since it's the off-season for fireworks.
00:26After stocking up the shop with supplies,
00:28I've decided to go on a little adventure and seek some inspiration.
00:32The plan is to have tons of fun before summer arrives.
00:36When I return with my new ideas,
00:38I'm sure my efficiency can only go up!
00:42I just got back from Heesey Island,
00:44and the colors all over the island were so beautiful!
00:48Oh, I'd love to make some fireworks that capture that feeling!
00:51So, I took a few pictures to use as reference when I get back.
00:56Huh? Oh!
00:58Right, of course!
00:59I've already figured it out.
01:01I, uh, I just forgot for a moment.
01:04Got kinda caught up in our meeting and all, you know?
01:08I've gotten all the ideas from this trip.
01:11Right now, I'm working on getting some small gifts for my family and neighbors.
01:16Look!
01:17I got some local dried fish for Dad,
01:19and midsummer berry jam for Mom.
01:23They're both specialties from around here.
01:26Right?
01:26Now, I haven't bought any gifts for the children yet,
01:31but I've heard there's an engineer named I know around here.
01:35I heard she's super amazing!
01:38Word is that she built this cannon!
01:40I'm planning to pay her visit and see if she can make some fun gadgets for the kids!
01:48I've also heard that she's a real free spirit, though.
01:52Won't take every commission, even if you offer her Mora.
01:56Should I bring something before visiting?
01:59I just don't know what she likes.
02:08Huh.
02:09So, Aino's a kid?
02:11And her family members are machines she made herself
02:14while living alone in her workshop all this time?
02:17Ha!
02:18That's amazing!
02:20The kid next door would cry non-stop if left alone for just one night.
02:24It would take the neighbors the whole day to calm things down after.
02:29By contrast, it seems like the people of Nashatown already see Aino as a mature mechanic,
02:34not as a child who needs their coddling.
02:38Still, just how many nights did she have to spend all by herself before Neva came into her life?
02:44Hmm.
02:45Well, it can't change what happened before.
02:48But, now that I'm here, I'm going to make sure she has a great time!
02:53Looks like it was the right choice to bring my tools with me.
02:56I'll head over to Nashatown to borrow their crafting station
02:59and make her a beautiful gift!
03:02What should I make?
03:05Fireworks?
03:06Tamari?
03:07Or maybe a spinning top?
03:09Hmm.
03:10You know what?
03:12I'll make them all!
03:19Fireworks, Tamari, and spinning tops!
03:21Yep!
03:22Let's make them all!
03:24Let's make them all!
03:49Let's make them all!
04:01Scrive the sky
04:22Etlua, can't you just, you know, sneak up behind those monsters with me and BAM! Ha ha, take them all
04:31down?
04:31I can act three times in a round, and there are only four monsters in total. I'll take three down,
04:39you just gotta handle the last one.
04:41I can draw the monster's attention from the front, but sneak attacks...
04:46Hmm, well, there isn't much we can do. Etlua's a loch knight who chose the Goblet of Justice.
04:54Indeed. If Etlua were to strike from behind, he would be forced to become an Oathbreaker Knight. A significant penalty
05:03would apply to all actions going forward.
05:06Oof, that's not good. If we don't defeat all these monsters in one go, those explosives are going to blow
05:13us sky high!
05:15There's another way. I can use Raging Torrent to dash straight into the thick of it, then detonate the explosives!
05:22No, no, that won't do at all! Your character would get wiped out that way!
05:27We've finally managed to gather the party and have such a lovely time together! It would be such a shame
05:34if you were the only one who got wiped out!
05:36But if we don't do this, the character that you've been playing for so long might get wiped out too,
05:41Miss Navia. Wouldn't that be worse?
05:44I only just started playing! Please don't...
05:49Huh...
05:50Wait!
05:51I've got another trick up my sleeve!
05:56Mm-mm.
05:58Navia, put that Krum Kake away.
06:00Uh-oh, that move was blocked too!
06:05These pieces on the table, and the stuff you were saying just now, you're playing...
06:11Ah! A savior has arrived! Right on time! Quick, quick, quick, come join us!
06:18Oh, Clorand, this doesn't count as violating the rules, right?
06:22If she's willing to join us...
06:24Oh, by the way, we're currently playing on easy mode, to accommodate the newcomers.
06:29Traveler, would you like to continue the adventure with us?
06:33You definitely would, right?
06:37Oh, come on! Any more questions and those explosives are gonna send us flying!
06:44Good. Since you haven't played a script for a while now, you may have one chance to re-select your
06:50skills.
06:51The skills you can modify are cooking and medicine.
06:55What do you think? Would you like to make any changes?
06:58Very well. In that case, you wish to learn the medicine skill, yes?
07:05Very well, then. Let the game continue.
07:10Ahem. Just when everyone was at their wit's end, a familiar voice rang out from behind them.
07:17Long time no see, everyone. Looks like you need my help.
07:21By the way, what are you doing here?
07:25Could it be that you heard our summons?
07:29That kinda makes her sound like a summoned spirit.
07:32Well, not that she doesn't fit the part.
07:36Indeed. You have called, and I must answer.
07:42Guess that means I was randomly dragged into this game.
07:47As expected of the veteran player Miss Navia mentioned before, they got into character instantly.
07:54Though the Mara Shosei Hunters had much they wished to share with one another,
07:58at this moment, the joy of reunion must yield to the crisis at hand.
08:03Now then, the combat round continues.
08:06You have the first turn.
08:08Also, since we have a new member joining us,
08:11I'll be adding some Dark Cards to boost the enemy's various abilities.
08:16The Traveler isn't a sudden addition.
08:18She's been traveling with us all along.
08:21We've just, uh, parted for a short while, that's all.
08:26Totally normal.
08:28Oh, I've already counted the Dark Cards.
08:30You should start discussing your tactics.
08:32Ugh, you're so strict, Clorand.
08:36Anyway, let's stick to the original strategy.
08:39Now that we have the Traveler with us, we have enough people.
08:43Itlua and I will hold the line out front against the monster's assault.
08:47Yehoda, Traveler, you circle around the back and take them all down in one swoop.
08:52All right, leave it to me.
08:56We, Masters of Chi, get huge damage boosts when attacking from behind.
09:03Uh, but, why are you a doctor?
09:07How's a doctor gonna perform a sneak attack?
09:16Your medicine box does indeed contain items with high toxicity and anesthetic properties.
09:24So that's how it is.
09:27Ugh, these tabletop troop games really are complicated.
09:31Ugh, you gotta have a lot of imagination.
09:37Hmm, coming up with a strategy already, huh?
09:40Nice work, Traveler.
09:42But let me say one more thing.
09:45Itlua, don't go charging in alone this time.
09:49I understand.
09:50A Loch Nite's duty is to protect their companions and be their shield.
09:54Sorry, I always can't help myself.
09:56Oh, don't worry about it.
09:59I can act three times in a round, so I'll definitely keep up with you.
10:04Just play however you want.
10:07Hahaha.
10:09All right, Itlua.
10:10We'll be counting on you.
10:13Then I shall...
10:15Use the skill attached to the Loch Nite's shield.
10:18Wrath of Righteousness!
10:20The Loch Nite raised their shield, chanting the knight's creed out loud.
10:25The monsters were completely captivated by the radiance of justice.
10:30And the fearless knight standing within that light.
10:34Meanwhile, the two companions lying in wait behind the foe seized this opportunity,
10:41preparing to launch their attack.
10:46You take the first swing, I'll hit right after!
11:01The Mara Shousei hunter reached into their medicine box and skillfully concocted an anesthetic potion.
11:08She stealthily rolled the potion towards the enemy's feet.
11:12In an instant, the unsuspecting foes fell.
11:15Unconscious.
11:18Nice!
11:19Nice!
11:20Okay, next I'll...
11:22Right!
11:22Gotta use swift as wind to close the distance.
11:26Then, use four elements strike from behind!
11:30Ah!
11:31That hurts!
11:33Who bit my leg?
11:35Huh?
11:36Ashrew?
11:37What are you doing here?
11:44Is it this late already?
11:48Oh no, oh no!
11:50I completely forgot the task that boss snuff asked me to handle!
11:55I'm sorry!
11:56I'm sorry!
11:57I...
11:58I can't play right now!
12:00No!
12:03No!
12:07No!
12:08Wait for me!
12:10Hey!
12:11Why are you running off so fast?
12:14Well, it seems we'll have to end our game here for today.
12:18Navia, put the monster sign back where it was.
12:21I saw that.
12:27Well, that's quite a long story.
12:30If we get the chance, we can sit down and discuss it in detail.
12:34Hmm.
12:35Actually, didn't Eat Lois say he wanted to invite a colleague to play with us?
12:40Since this game's paused anyway, why don't we take this chance to go find him?
12:44The more people we have, the more fun we'll have!
12:48Mr. Flint's?
12:50He...
12:50Uh...
12:51Yeah.
12:52I'm sure he'll play with us if we go look for him.
12:56Oh, that's perfect!
12:58Come on, let's go buy him some gifts first.
13:00And then pay him a visit in person.
13:03Traveler, we'll let you know once we're ready.
13:06When the time comes, you have to continue the adventure with us.
13:12That's my trusty companion for ya.
13:14Now, let's go pay Mr. Flint's a visit.
13:18Hmm.
13:19What kind of gift should we get him?
13:21Hmm.
