Tell me. You finally found the
uninhabited Titan? |
| 2 |
|
qst720202_msg0002 |
84 |
That's right. Made it there without
a scratch. |
| 3 |
|
qst720202_msg0003 |
84 |
The map, the bard's song, the elder's
legend... It was all true. |
| 4 |
|
qst720202_msg0004 |
84 |
Bah... I wish you could have had
some of that fun AFTER you bonded
with me... No fair! |
| 5 |
|
qst720202_msg0005 |
84 |
Of course, back then, I had no idea that
I'd be the Driver of an Aegis someday.
Not a clue. |
| 6 |
|
qst720202_msg0006 |
84 |
And I also had no idea that I'd end up
with a Blade who was so hungry for
experience. |
| 7 |
|
qst720202_msg0007 |
84 |
I mean, I prefer it when you have
something interesting to say... |
| 8 |
|
qst720202_msg0008 |
84 |
I choose to take that as a compliment. |
| 9 |
|
qst720202_msg0009 |
84 |
Well, sure... It was hardly boring,
discovering that legendary
uninhabited Titan. |
| 10 |
|
qst720202_msg0010 |
84 |
The natives gave us a fine chase. |
| 11 |
|
qst720202_msg0011 |
84 |
Natives? I thought you said it was
uninhabited? |
| 12 |
|
qst720202_msg0012 |
84 |
Well, to be precise, we didn't meet any
humans there. |
| 13 |
|
qst720202_msg0013 |
84 |
Just some monsters, of the Arachno,
Antol, and Skeeter variety. |
| 14 |
|
qst720202_msg0014 |
84 |
Cool! |
| 15 |
|
qst720202_msg0015 |
84 |
And they were pretty huge specimens,
too. We must have looked like extra
tempting appetizers to them. |
| 16 |
|
qst720202_msg0016 |
84 |
There were really quite a lot of them.
We were lucky to get off the Titan in
one piece. |
| 17 |
|
qst720202_msg0017 |
84 |
Ah! A fine recompense for an
adventurer's heart! |
| 18 |
|
qst720202_msg0018 |
84 |
So your plans to build a holiday villa
there came to nothing. It's more than
a little tragic. |
| 19 |
|
qst720202_msg0019 |
84 |
Well, I mean... That wasn't the primary
aim... |
| 20 |
|
qst720202_msg0020 |
84 |
Perhaps I didn't get a material reward.
But I certainly got a spiritual reward. |
| 21 |
|
qst720202_msg0021 |
84 |
Things didn't work out quite so well
for my "playmates" though. |
| 22 |
|
qst720202_msg0022 |
84 |
How so...? |
| 23 |
|
qst720202_msg0023 |
84 |
It was a kind of paradise for insects.
But I heard later that it was laid to
waste by someone or other. |
| 24 |
|
qst720202_msg0024 |
84 |
The ways of humans are often cruel... |
| 25 |
|
qst720202_msg0025 |
84 |
What's done is done. It was a time of
war, and they had to find a place for
some refugees. |
| 26 |
|
qst720202_msg0026 |
84 |
But the monsters couldn't have grasped
that. They probably just saw arrogant
humans wrecking their home. |
| 27 |
|
qst720202_msg0027 |
84 |
Ah! The telling of it falls hard upon my
ears... |
| 28 |
|
qst720202_msg0028 |
84 |
Your Majesty! Forgive my interruption... |
| 29 |
|
qst720202_msg0029 |
84 |
But this appears to be the location
mentioned in the report. |
| 30 |
|
qst720202_msg0030 |
84 |
Ah! So we're here already? |
| 31 |
|
qst720202_msg0031 |
84 |
The journey passed as the blinking of
an eye, thanks to Addam's enchanting
tales! |
| 32 |
|
qst720202_msg0032 |
84 |
If your servant's humble recounting was
able to relieve your Imperial tedium,
truly the most blessed of men am I! |
| 33 |
|
qst720202_msg0033 |
84 |
Oh, I do wish you'd cut it out, Addam.
I am not your better, and you should
know it. |
| 34 |
|
qst720202_msg0034 |
84 |
I wouldn't be so sure of that,
Hugo, old friend... |
| 35 |
|
qst720202_msg0035 |
84 |
Now then, Mythra... I'd really like to get
your opinion on this. As the Aegis. |
| 36 |
|
qst720202_msg0036 |
84 |
... |
| 37 |
|
qst720202_msg0037 |
84 |
I hate to be the bearer of bad news,
but this isn't Malos's handiwork. |
| 38 |
|
qst720202_msg0038 |
84 |
How did you come to that conclusion,
Mythra? |
| 39 |
|
qst720202_msg0039 |
84 |
Malos's attacks would have melted the
earth and turned it into glass. |
| 40 |
|
qst720202_msg0040 |
84 |
But whatever did this only scorched
the grass. It can't have been such a
high temperature. |
| 41 |
|
qst720202_msg0041 |
84 |
That's a very wise deduction. We're
lucky to have you for an ally. |
| 42 |
|
qst720202_msg0042 |
84 |
I offer my apologies to you all
for leading you to this disappointing
conclusion. |
| 43 |
|
qst720202_msg0043 |
84 |
Nay, Aegaeon. We could not have
known without further investigation. |
| 44 |
|
qst720202_msg0044 |
84 |
With each possibility we discard,
we move all the closer to our goal. |
| 45 |
|
qst720202_msg0045 |
84 |
...Everyone. Look there! |
| 46 |
|
qst720202_msg0046 |
84 |
It's a big one... |
| 47 |
|
qst720202_msg0047 |
84 |
Indeed. We cannot let it run riot. |
| 48 |
|
qst720202_msg0048 |
84 |
Just think of the damage it could do if
it got to Lascham Cove, or a settlement! |
| 49 |
|
qst720202_msg0049 |
84 |
Everyone! Get to it! |
