They gave me a fright!
What was that, just now? |
| 2 |
|
qst700905_msg0002 |
84 |
Say, this wasn't the first time we were
neck-deep in Gogols, right? Is that
coincidence? I don't think so. |
| 3 |
|
qst700905_msg0003 |
84 |
I don't think I'm ready to joke about it
yet, personally. |
| 4 |
|
qst700905_msg0004 |
84 |
But they may have been the relatives
of the Gogols we fought earlier...
They're definitely driven... |
| 5 |
|
qst700905_msg0005 |
84 |
Yeah... It's hard to think they were
actually storming the city. I think
your theory is the more valid one. |
| 6 |
|
qst700905_msg0006 |
84 |
Wh-whoa... |
| 7 |
|
qst700905_msg0007 |
84 |
Hrm. Looks like we got some fans
while we weren't looking. |
| 8 |
|
qst700905_msg0008 |
84 |
Sorry you had to wait!
Is everyone OK?! |
| 9 |
|
qst700905_msg0009 |
84 |
Hale and hearty, as you can see. |
| 10 |
|
qst700905_msg0010 |
84 |
Gwahahaha!
So we didn't have to rush after all. |
| 11 |
|
qst700905_msg00011 |
84 |
Still, that was a job well done.
Carnelian did good bringing us here. |
| 12 |
|
qst700905_msg00012 |
84 |
Say, I don't suppose you feel like
joining my little team? We can always
use more skilled fighters. |
| 13 |
|
qst700905_msg00013 |
84 |
I'm honored by the invitation, really
I am. But what would happen to this
guard post then? |
| 14 |
|
qst700905_msg00014 |
84 |
Gwahahaha!
All right, ya got a point. |
| 15 |
|
qst700905_msg00015 |
84 |
Hmm... How about we put Chalcedony
back on guard duty, and have Carnelian
join the main team? |
| 16 |
|
qst700905_msg00016 |
84 |
Hold on a moment. Why can't they
both serve together? Didn't you say
you wanted more skilled fighters? |
| 17 |
|
qst700905_msg00017 |
84 |
Well, see, guarding the gates to the
capital is the foundation of our duties.
It's not like just anyone could do it. |
| 18 |
|
qst700905_msg00018 |
84 |
I think for sure that one of the siblings
needs to stay here. |
| 19 |
|
qst700905_msg00019 |
84 |
In that case, it's simple.
I'll be fine here, so my kid brother can... |
| 20 |
|
qst700905_msg00020 |
84 |
...You know, I hate it when you do that.
Stop acting all goody-goody, bro. |
| 21 |
|
qst700905_msg00021 |
84 |
Chalcy, what are you talking about? |
| 22 |
|
qst700905_msg00022 |
84 |
You think you always have to take
the back seat, right? Just 'cause you're
older, you have to be all nice to me? |
| 23 |
|
qst700905_msg00023 |
84 |
Well, pthooie to that! It only makes
you feel good, and I'm sick of it. |
| 24 |
|
qst700905_msg00024 |
84 |
I'm sorry to butt in here, but there's
one thing I have to say. |
| 25 |
|
qst700905_msg00025 |
84 |
Do you really want to bicker like this?
If the fighting breaks out tomorrow,
you might never see each other again. |
| 26 |
|
qst700905_msg00026 |
84 |
If you don't end tonight on a good note,
you could regret it for the rest of your
lives. |
| 27 |
|
qst700905_msg00027 |
84 |
... |
| 28 |
|
qst700905_msg00028 |
84 |
...She's right.
There's no guarantee that peace
will return anytime soon. |
| 29 |
|
qst700905_msg00029 |
84 |
I didn't quite realize that before.
I'm really sorry. |
| 30 |
|
qst700905_msg00030 |
84 |
Me too... I said a bit too much. |
| 31 |
|
qst700905_msg00031 |
84 |
Sarge, I've got a request.
Could I please get a demotion? |
| 32 |
|
qst700905_msg00032 |
84 |
I wanna cool my head, take a tour
at the gates again. See if I can do
better this time round. |
| 33 |
|
qst700905_msg00033 |
84 |
Ohhh? That's sudden.
You sure, son? |
| 34 |
|
qst700905_msg00034 |
84 |
Yes, sir. There might be another
attack like we had today... |
| 35 |
|
qst700905_msg00035 |
84 |
If my bro is here alone, I'll be worried. |
| 36 |
|
qst700905_msg00036 |
84 |
Aw...
You're not just saying that, are you? |
| 37 |
|
qst700905_msg00037 |
84 |
...I told you to cut it out, didn't I?
Just treat me like a regular squad mate,
standing duty together. All right? |
| 38 |
|
qst700905_msg00038 |
84 |
We'll share the burden and work
arm in arm, like brothers should. |
| 39 |
|
qst700905_msg00039 |
84 |
I'm...I'm sorry.
I don't think I understood until now
how I made you feel. |
| 40 |
|
qst700905_msg00040 |
84 |
That's 'cause you're dumb, bro.
Go on, just say "thank you" and
let's be done with it. |
| 41 |
|
qst700905_msg00041 |
84 |
*Sniffle* *sniffle*
I love a happy ending... |
| 42 |
|
qst700905_msg00042 |
84 |
Oh, get a grip. |
| 43 |
|
qst700905_msg00043 |
84 |
I feel like the next time Gogols come,
you guys will be ready for them. |
| 44 |
|
qst700905_msg00044 |
84 |
Oh, anything but those! |
| 45 |
|
qst700905_msg00045 |
84 |
Gwahaha! Well, any way you cut it,
at least we'll feel safe with such expert
gate guards keeping watch. |
| 46 |
|
qst700905_msg00046 |
84 |
*sigh*
Looks like I'll have to start recruiting
squad members from scratch... |
