Amazing.
You get a great view of the town from
here, eh. |
| 2 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0002 |
84 |
Told ya so. When the Zekenator says
there's a good view, he doesn't lie. |
| 3 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0003 |
84 |
Matter of fact, it's the best
view in all of Torigoth. |
| 4 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0004 |
84 |
You're not from here, are you, Zeke? |
| 5 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0005 |
84 |
You seem to know quite a lot about
the place. |
| 6 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0006 |
84 |
Well, you see... |
| 7 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0007 |
84 |
Last time I was here, the old geez at
the inn gave me the lowdown. |
| 8 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0008 |
84 |
Oh right, you used to travel
all over the place, didn't you? |
| 9 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0009 |
84 |
Do you know a lot about other
places apart from Gormott, then? |
| 10 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0010 |
84 |
Oh, yes. You wouldn't believe
some of the things I've seen. |
| 11 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0011 |
84 |
But listen, I want you to tell me
something. What does this scenery
right here make you think of? |
| 12 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0012 |
165 |
How should I answer? |
| 13 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0013 |
164 |
It's such a big, lively town. |
| 14 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0014 |
164 |
Honestly, I think I prefer Fonsett. |
| 15 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0101 |
84 |
Yeah. Hmmm. Sure. |
| 16 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0102 |
84 |
But, y'know... That's just a facade.
It's what they want you to see. |
| 17 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0103 |
84 |
A facade? |
| 18 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0104 |
84 |
Yeah, exactly. |
| 19 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0105 |
84 |
Like, you know Gormott's a
colony of Mor Ardain right now. |
| 20 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0106 |
84 |
Well, the only reason the town looks
so lively is 'cos Mor Ardain has
a military base here. |
| 21 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0107 |
84 |
Most other settlements in Gormott,
everyone's doing hard work like
farming and lumberjacking. |
| 22 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0108 |
84 |
And most of what they produce, they
export to Mor Ardain. |
| 23 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0109 |
84 |
It's quite a tough life here. A lot of
folks are struggling. |
| 24 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0110 |
84 |
... |
| 25 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0111 |
84 |
And it's not just Gormott, either. |
| 26 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0112 |
84 |
I've seen a good few dark underbellies
on my travels, no doubt about it. |
| 27 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0113 |
84 |
Did you ever try to help those people
out? |
| 28 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0114 |
84 |
Ah, so many times. |
| 29 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0115 |
84 |
I had it in my head that the Zekenator
had the power to fix anything. |
| 30 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0116 |
84 |
But...fancy sword skills and titles...
They aren't much use to most folks. |
| 31 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0117 |
84 |
I was trying to save the world alone.
But what happened is that reality bit
me on the arse. |
| 32 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0118 |
84 |
Hey, don't look at it like that. |
| 33 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0119 |
84 |
Huh? |
| 34 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0120 |
84 |
Sure, maybe you don't have the power
to save the whole world right now. |
| 35 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0121 |
84 |
But there are definitely people
out there you have helped.
Me and Pyra, for a start. |
| 36 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0122 |
84 |
So Zeke, don't ever give up. |
| 37 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0123 |
84 |
Don't forget, you've got some people
you can count on now. |
| 38 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0124 |
84 |
Yeah, you're right. |
| 39 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0125 |
84 |
You really are.
I dunno what I was thinking. |
| 40 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0126 |
84 |
It's not just the Zekenator now. I've got
you guys watching my back. |
| 41 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0127 |
84 |
Some of the things I couldn't do back
then might even be possible now. |
| 42 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0128 |
84 |
Right? |
| 43 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0129 |
84 |
So let's keep doing what we can.
All of us, together. |
| 44 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0130 |
84 |
Yeah!
I just gotta put my back into it. |
| 45 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0131 |
84 |
[ML:Feeling kind=Anger ]Look out, world! The Zekenator's
coming to rock your socks off! |
| 46 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0132 |
84 |
Whew! That sure felt good.
Your turn, Rex! Let your manifesto out! |
| 47 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0133 |
84 |
Erm... |
| 48 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0134 |
84 |
[ML:Feeling kind=Anger ]I'm gonna get Pyra and Mythra to
Elysium, or die trying! |
| 49 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0135 |
84 |
[ML:Feeling kind=Anger ]Yeeehaaaa! |
| 50 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0136 |
84 |
What are you two DOING?! |
| 51 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0137 |
84 |
You're embarrassing me... |
| 52 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0201 |
84 |
Fonsett's a peaceful village, right?
War hasn't really reached it? |
| 53 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0202 |
84 |
Yeah. That's right. |
| 54 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0203 |
84 |
Problem is, most villages in
Alrest can't say the same. |
| 55 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0204 |
84 |
What do you mean exactly? |
| 56 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0205 |
84 |
Listen up, chum. What you see on the
surface? That's not the whole story. |
| 57 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0206 |
84 |
A lot of places that look like they're
doing well have a lot of people
suffering in the shadows. |
| 58 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0207 |
84 |
Even here in Gormott? |
| 59 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0208 |
84 |
Sure as. You can see Torigoth doing
great, same as the other towns where
there's an Ardainian army base. |
| 60 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0209 |
84 |
But most other settlements in Gormott?
They scrape by on hard labor like
farming and lumberjacking. |
| 61 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0210 |
84 |
And most of what they produce, they
export to Mor Ardain. |
| 62 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0211 |
84 |
It's quite a tough life here. A lot of
folks are struggling. |
| 63 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0212 |
84 |
And it's not just Gormott, either. |
| 64 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0213 |
84 |
I've seen a whole bunch of places like
this, and they make me realize how
powerless I am. |
| 65 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0214 |
84 |
... |
| 66 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0215 |
84 |
Zeke, you aren't powerless. |
| 67 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0216 |
84 |
You never stop wanting to help people. |
| 68 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0217 |
84 |
Even now, you're thinking about the
people who really need your help. |
| 69 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0218 |
84 |
Exactly how a future king should think. |
| 70 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0219 |
84 |
Hey, don't take the piss. |
| 71 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0220 |
84 |
I mean it. |
| 72 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0221 |
84 |
I'm all spent just worrying about
the people right in front of me. |
| 73 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0222 |
84 |
Pyra, Mythra, Nia, Gramps... |
| 74 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0223 |
84 |
But it seems like you're always
worrying about the wider world. |
| 75 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0224 |
84 |
Like, people whose names you don't
even know. |
| 76 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0225 |
84 |
It's something I really admire about
you, Zeke. I hope I can learn to care as
much as you do. |
| 77 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0226 |
84 |
Man, you always know what to say.
You're such a...focused guy. |
| 78 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0227 |
84 |
Haha. Gramps said I should pay
more attention to the world
around me, though. |
| 79 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0228 |
84 |
Tell you what then, chum. |
| 80 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0229 |
84 |
While you focus on your main
goals, I'll keep an eye on the
big picture for you. |
| 81 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0230 |
84 |
Yeah. I know I can count on you. |
| 82 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0231 |
84 |
Damn right you can! |
| 83 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0232 |
84 |
Oh, what a pair. |
| 84 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0233 |
84 |
I find it really inspiring. |
| 85 |
|
kizunatalk010_msg0234 |
84 |
Yeah, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a
little inspired. |
