SIGN    Earth Gets a Partner
[01:34] Zetan
    We've finally made it to town.
[01:36] Earth
    Sorry to make you run the whole night.
[01:39] Zetan
    I don't need an apology.
[01:41] Zetan
    For me, that's nothing!
[01:42] Earth
    I see.
[01:44] Earth
    I'm really grateful, though.
[01:53] Earth
    Is there a new fad where
    everybody's playing instruments?
[01:56] Zetan
    Towns inside the Fairy Kingdom
    all love to promote the arts.
[02:01] Zetan
    To the north is Shepia,
    the town of literature.
[02:03] Zetan
    To the east is the town
    of painting, Sezanah.
[02:06] Zetan
    To the west is the town
    of sculpting, Ranjelo.
[02:09] Zetan
    And where we're at, in the south,
     is the town of music, Shubert.
[02:14] Earth
    I bet I could hear all kinds of music
    just by walking through the streets.
[02:20] Earth
    But I want to get some sleep.
[02:21] Zetan
    I've got an inn I always go to, then.
[02:26] Innkeeper
    With this many introduction letters,
[02:28] Innkeeper
    and having Wild-Haired Zetan bring you here,
[02:31] Innkeeper
    you're more than welcome to stay.
[02:33] Earth
    Wild-Haired...?
[02:35] Zetan
    Innkeep, that nickname is
    embarrassing. Stop it.
[02:40] Innkeeper
    I've gotten you rooms next to each other.
[02:42] Innkeeper
    Enjoy your stay.
[02:46] Earth
    See you later, Wild-Haired Zetan.
[02:49] Zetan
    Stop that!
[02:54] Earth
    I was lucky that I got saved by a fairy
    famous enough to have his own nickname.
[03:01] Earth
    Now I can finally log out and sleep.
SIGN    You've logged in.
[03:10] Earth
    Now, time to do some adventuring!
[03:14] Earth
    I-I can't move!
[03:17] Earth
    Is this a bug?
[03:29] Earth
    C-Can you get off me?
[03:32] Earth
    If anybody sees this,
    they're gonna get the wrong idea!
[03:35] Fairy Queen
    Big Brother's not gonna like me anymore!
[03:36] Fairy Queen
    So I'm never gonna let him go!
[03:40] Earth
    She's regressed to being an infant?
[03:45] Innkeeper
    Earth, since you're awake,
    how about some breakfast?
[03:54] Innkeeper
    I see I'm interrupting.
[03:55] Innkeeper
    I'll come back later.
[03:59] Earth
    No! Save me!
[04:01] Zetan
    Save you from what?
[04:04] Zetan
    Oh, I see you brought a girl
    back to your room already.
[04:07] Earth
    I did not bring her here!
[04:08] Earth
    Help me get her off! Please!
[04:11] Fairy Queen
    No! If I let go of Big Brother,
    he's gonna leave the kingdom!
[04:16] Innkeeper
    Y-Your Highness!
[04:21] Dragon Princess
    Sister...
[04:26] Earth
    You're kidding me. Now, of all times?
[04:28] Innkeeper
    A d-d-dragonian?!
[04:32] Dragon Princess
    What are you doing?
[04:35] Fairy Queen
    I came to apologize for what
    happened at the southern fort.
[04:40] Fairy Queen
    I've punished the man who runs the fort,
[04:43] Fairy Queen
    his daughter, as well as
    all 80 of her personal soldiers.
[04:47] Earth
    Punished how, specifically?
[04:49] Fairy Queen
    I summoned them to a special area,
[04:51] Fairy Queen
    did near-lethal damage to them
    30 times and healed them 29 times,
[04:54] Fairy Queen
    shattering their minds...
[04:57] Fairy Queen
    Then, of course, I demoted the
    girl to the lowest rank of soldier,
[05:00] Fairy Queen
    as well as the rest of them.
[05:01] Innkeeper
    The number of times she healed
    them and the number of times
[05:03] Innkeeper
    she did near-lethal damage
    don't match, do they?
[05:06] Zetan
    So the last time she did it,
    she just left them, huh?
[05:08] Dragon Princess
    There it is.
    This is who my sister really is.
[05:13] Dragon Princess
    She creeps me out.
[05:14] Earth
    Well... the people in the
    town were all really nice.
[05:18] Earth
    I don't hate your kingdom or anything.
[05:21] Fairy Queen
    Really? You're not gonna start
    hating this country, Big Brother?!
[05:27] Dragon Princess
    Stop trying to flirt with him,
    you stupid big sister!
[05:31] Fairy Queen
    Ow! What was that for,
    you stupid little sister?
[05:35] Dragon Princess
    If you're done talking, then you don't
    need to be here anymore, right?
[05:39] Fairy Queen
    Ow! What about you?
    What are you doing here?
[05:42] Dragon Princess
    I'm here to keep an eye on my stupid sister!
[05:45] Fairy Queen
    Earth!
[05:47] Fairy Queen
    I'm afraid I must be going.
[05:51] Fairy Queen
    I apologize for causing a scene, Innkeep.
[05:54] Fairy Queen
    Farewell.
[05:58] Zetan
    I knew you were close to the queen,
[06:01] Zetan
    but I didn't know you were
    friends with a dragonian, too.
[06:04] Innkeeper
    Were you aware that the fairies once
    started a war with the other nations?
[06:11] Innkeeper
    The dragonians were the ones we
    fought the deadliest battles with.
[06:17] Zetan
    If they knew a dragonian was in town,
    the whole city would be in an uproar!
[06:21] Innkeeper
    Seems we should all keep
    our mouths shut, then.
[06:24] Innkeeper
    I'll bring you a meal later.
[06:27] Innkeeper
    Enjoy your stay.
[06:31] Earth
    What an awful way to wake up...
[06:34] Zetan
    Aw, you're lucky to have a pretty
    girl like her in love with you.
[06:37] Zetan
    I wish I had a girl like that.
[06:41] Earth
    Come in.
[06:43] Karen
    I apologize for the intrusion.
[06:45] Karen
    I heard that Wild-Haired Zetan
    could be found here...
[06:49] Zetan
    Something I can do for you?
[06:51] Karen
    My daughter's gone missing.
[06:54] Karen
    I want you to find her for me!
[06:57] Earth
    Calm down.
[06:58] Earth
    Can you explain what happened?
[07:02] Karen
    I'm sorry for being in such a panic.
[07:05] Karen
    My name is Karen Fenrir.
[07:08] Zetan
    Fenrir... That's a famous noble family.
[07:11] Karen
    My daughter always goes for a
    walk at the same time each day.
[07:16] Karen
    But today, she didn't come back.
[07:19] Karen
    I went to look for her,
     but I can't find her anywhere.
[07:23] Zetan
    You people can switch between human
    and wolf forms whenever you want.
[07:27] Zetan
    Even if a monster attacked her,
     they couldn't hurt her.
[07:32] Karen
    And that's why I'm worried that
    something terrible may have happened.
[07:38] Karen
    This is my daughter.
[07:40] Karen
    I'll pay you, of course, so please...
[07:44] Zetan
    All right. I accept.
[07:47] Karen
    Thank you!
[07:49] Earth
    Zetan, I'll help, too.
[07:52] Zetan
    You're sure?
[07:53] Karen
    Please do!
[07:55] Karen
    I'll make sure you're properly
    rewarded for your trouble, as well!
[08:01] Zetan
    Sorry to make you help with
    a job that should be mine.
[08:04] Earth
    I just wanted to repay you for
    carrying me all the way here, but...
[08:09] Earth
    If I'm getting paid, too,
    then that doesn't really work.
[08:12] Zetan
    Well, aren't you nice?
[08:15] Zetan
    If you want to thank me,
    make me some more good food.
[08:18] Earth
    Food's all you want?
[08:19] Zetan
    Yeah.
[08:20] Zetan
    Lookin' forward to it!
[08:23] Earth
    This is farther than you'd go on a walk.
[08:26] Zetan
    The gate guard said he saw her,
    so this has to be the right direction.
[08:32] Earth
    I sense monsters!
[08:35] Earth
    Two from the right, one from the left!
[08:47] Zetan
    Your ability to detect monsters
    sure comes in handy.
[08:51] Zetan
    It definitely did on the way from the fort.
[08:59] Earth
    With that kind of power,
    you could beat them easily anyway.
[09:05] Zetan
    So? What are we looking at?
[09:07] Earth
    I'm not seeing anything but
    monsters for the moment.
[09:10] Earth
    It will drain my resources faster,
[09:11] Earth
    but I guess I'll try expanding the
    search radius to its maximum.
[09:15] Earth
    I see a group of monsters,
    and something else!
[09:18] Zetan
    Okay, get on!
[09:23] Earth
    I saw two things that weren't monsters...
[09:28] Earth
    Activate Long-Distance Vision!
[09:33] Earth
    That's definitely Miss Mina Fenrir.
[09:36] Earth
    She's pretty badly hurt, too.
[09:38] Zetan
    What?
[09:39] Earth
    We need to do something before night falls.
[09:41] Earth
    Zetan, I want you to break past those goblins
[09:44] Earth
    and splash Miss Mina with this rare potion.
[09:48] Earth
    I'll back you up.
[09:49] Zetan
    Got it!
[09:57] Mina
    Who's there?
[10:08] Zetan
    Excuse me, missy.
[10:14] Mina
    My wounds healed...
[10:16] Zetan
    Can you hang in there a little longer now?
[10:18] Mina
    Y-Yes!
[10:20] Zetan
    Okay, give 'em hell.
[10:22] Zetan
    And don't worry!
    I'll protect you if things get bad.
[10:27] Mina
    Okay!
[10:32] Earth
    That's the last of them.
[10:34] Zetan
    You're good.
[10:36] Zetan
    You know just how to help in a fight,
    and it made my life easier.
[10:39] Mina
    I don't know who you are,
    but thank you for your support.
[10:43] Zetan
    Oh, no. We're only here because your
    mother hired us to help find you.
[10:48] Mina
    My mother hired you?
[10:50] Zetan
    Yeah. I'm Zetan. And the human here is...
[10:52] Earth
    I'm Earth.
[10:54] Mina
    Zetan... You mean Wild-Haired Zetan?!
[10:59] Zetan
    Well, I guess some people call me that.
[11:02] Mina
    I'm really lucky, aren't I?
    To have the famous Zetan save me!
[11:06] Earth
    Oh!
[11:10] Earth
    I'm sorry to ask this, Miss Mina,
    but why didn't you transform?
[11:15] Earth
    Wouldn't have you been able to
    fight back more easily as a wolf?
[11:19] Mina
    Well, you see...
[11:20] Mina
    I was going for my walk when
    I smelled something slightly sweet...
[11:24] Mina
    And suddenly everything went hazy.
[11:27] Mina
    The next thing I knew,
    I was surrounded by goblins,
[11:30] Mina
    and for some reason I couldn't transform...
[11:32] Earth
    I see.
[11:33] Earth
    Can you drink this and
    try transforming again?
[11:48] Mina
    I was able to transform!
[11:49] Mina
    Why couldn't I do it before?
[11:51] Earth
    The anti-poison potion worked.
[11:54] Earth
    So I was right. Somebody poisoned her.
[11:57] Earth
    Okay, turn back to human form and
    have Zetan carry you back to town.
[12:01] Zetan
    What will you do?
[12:03] Earth
    I'm a little tired.
[12:05] Earth
    I'm going to rest here for
    a bit before I head back.
[12:10] Zetan
    Fine.
[12:11] Zetan
    Don't be too late.
[12:16] Earth
    How long are you going to keep hiding?
[12:20] Earth
    I sensed two things here
    that weren't monsters.
[12:23] Earth
    And those goblins had some pretty
    expensive-looking equipment, didn't they?
[12:28] Earth
    The ones with the shields were tankers.
[12:30] Earth
    The ones with the spears pinned
    her down from a distance.
[12:33] Earth
    And the ones with the swords
    attacked up close, right?
[12:35] Earth
    The only race that could've
    made goblins fight as a team,
[12:38] Earth
    and use poison to weaken a Fenrir...
[12:47] Earth
    is a human!
[12:49] NPC Man
    Wh-What the hell do you think you're doing?
[12:52] Earth
    That's my line!
[12:54] Earth
    Kidnapping and killing
    is what the bad guys do!
[12:57] Earth
    I don't know if you did this on
    your own or if somebody hired you,
[13:02] Earth
    but what's wrong with attacking a bad guy?
[13:05] NPC Man
    Damn it...
[13:08] NPC Man
    You...
[13:10] Earth
    This feeling... he's human, but not a PC.
[13:15] Earth
    If I let him go, it might ruin relations
    between the humans and fairies,
[13:20] Earth
    and even lead to a scenario
    where there's a war!
[13:24] Earth
    Knowing the One More *GMs,
    I could totally see that!
[13:27] NPC Man
    Damn you!
[13:28] NPC Man
    I'll make sure you don't tell anyone!
[13:32] Earth
    That's my afterimage!
[13:35] Earth
    Triangle Shot!
[13:40] Earth
    I changed course in mid-air,
    so it didn't hit as hard as it usually does...
[13:42] Earth
    But it still did plenty of damage, I see.
[13:44] NPC Man
    I'm human, you idiot! And they're fairies!
[13:49] Earth
    Sorry. I don't care about what
    race or country somebody's from.
[13:54] Earth
    All I care about is whether
    we can take each other's hand
[13:57] Earth
    and walk beside each other.
[14:06] Earth
    If we can all admit our
    good parts, and bad parts,
[14:09] Earth
    and walk beside each other,
    that's for the best...
[14:12] Earth
    whether the other person
    is a fairy or dragonian.
[14:15] Earth
    And if I have to fight,
    I'll show no mercy even to a human.
[14:26] Earth
    You didn't leave?
[14:29] Zetan
    I was curious if you caught your rat.
[14:31] Earth
    Yup.
[14:32] Earth
    I disinfected the place, too.
[14:34] Zetan
    Good, then.
[14:35] Zetan
    Get on.
[14:36] Earth
    I'm fine. I'll walk.
[14:39] Zetan
    I want to give you a ride.
[14:40] Zetan
    Today, you're my partner.
[14:43] Zetan
    Earth, the human adventurer!
[14:46] Earth
    All right. I'll take you up on that, then.
[14:51] Karen
    Mina! You're safe!
[14:53] Mina
    Mother!
[14:54] Karen
    Zetan, Earth, thank you so much.
[14:59] Karen
    I'll pay you 100,000 gloh each.
[15:02] Earth
    There's one more reward
    I'd like to ask for, ma'am.
[15:07] Zetan
    Hey, that's plenty of money.
[15:09] Earth
    I'd like you to ensure
    that Miss Mina and Zetan
[15:11] Earth
    get a chance to spend some
    quality time together.
[15:17] Earth
    As you can see,
    Miss Mina seems quite taken by him.
[15:23] Mina
    I've heard so many tales of his bravery...
    and always wanted to meet him.
[15:29] Mina
    And when I actually did, he was so kind...
[15:32] Karen
    Oh, my! Oh, my!
[15:35] Zetan
    Earth, what do you think you're doing?
[15:37] Earth
    Remember what you said this morning?
[15:39] Earth
    You wanted a pretty girl
    who was in love with you.
[15:42] Earth
    Miss Mina's certainly pretty, right?
[15:44] Mina
    I look forward to spending time with you!
[15:48] Earth
    I'll let the three of you
    work out the details!
[15:52] Earth
    Have fun!
[15:57] Earth
    Queen, can we talk?
[16:01] Fairy Queen
    Of course!
[16:02] Fairy Queen
    Wow, you never summon me!
[16:04] Earth
    Wow, that was fast.
[16:05] Fairy Queen
    What is it?
[16:06] Fairy Queen
    A confession of love?
[16:10] Earth
    You see...
[16:11] Fairy Queen
    Yes?
[16:13] Fairy Queen
    I can't believe it...
[16:15] Earth
    Yeah, I figured you should know.
[16:19] Fairy Queen
    I believe that humans and fairies
    must not be allowed to fight.
[16:24] Earth
    I agree.
[16:26] Earth
    Make sure you keep an eye out for trouble.
[16:28] Fairy Queen
    For now, you have my thanks for
    stopping it before it started.
[16:31] Fairy Queen
    I'll see what I can learn.
[16:34] Earth
    Thanks.
[16:35] Earth
    Anyway, it's time for me to sleep,
    so I'll see you later...
[16:40] Fairy Queen
    You're saying you want to
    sleep next to me, right?
[16:42] Earth
    I am not.
[16:43] Fairy Queen
    Aw, you're so shy!
[16:45] Earth
    Leave already!
[16:47] Fairy Queen
    Okay, I will, but when can I see you next?
[16:50] Earth
    Eventually!
[16:52] Fairy Queen
    If you don't promise me, I won't leave.
[16:54] Fairy Queen
    I want to give you my thanks
    for what you did today, too!
[16:57] Earth
    Your thanks? Are you saying
    that as queen of the fairies?
[17:01] Fairy Queen
    Of course!
[17:02] Fairy Queen
    Thanks to you, we were able to
    avoid unnecessary bloodshed.
[17:07] Earth
    Then I promise we can meet again.
[17:10] Earth
    But no trying to give me a reward.
[17:13] Fairy Queen
    Fine.
[17:15] Earth
    Do you understand, Queen?
[17:18] Earth
    The way you're getting too involved with me
[17:20] Earth
    is basically the same as what the
    fort commander's daughter was doing.
[17:26] Innkeeper
    We'll miss having you here.
[17:28] Earth
    I need to get going, though.
[17:30] Earth
    I'm running low on enhanced oil.
[17:33] Earth
    And I want to do some
    repairs on my bow, too.
[17:38] Earth
    Oh, Zetan.
[17:39] Earth
    How'd it go after that?
[17:45] Earth
    I guess I know the answer to that!
[17:47] Zetan
    She says she wants me to move in with her.
[17:52] Innkeeper
    Oh, my!
[17:53] Zetan
    To the Fenrir mansion near the castle.
[17:56] Zetan
    Karen has preparations to make,
    she said, so she already left.
[18:01] Zetan
    We need to get going, too.
[18:03] Earth
    That's great!
[18:05] Zetan
    You're heading back to a human town, right?
[18:08] Zetan
    I'm sad I won't get to give
    you a ride on my back.
[18:12] Earth
    Don't worry about it, partner.
[18:16] Earth
    I had a lot of fun being your partner.
[18:19] Earth
    Let's do it again sometime.
[18:24] Zetan
    Bye!
[18:24] Mina
    I promise we'll be happy together!
[18:28] Innkeeper
    You've got a long journey
    home, though, Earth.
[18:32] Earth
    Oh, I've got something up my sleeve!
[18:35] Earth
    Pikasha! Can you come here?
[18:39] Innkeeper
    That bird won't even let the royal
    family ride on them sometimes.
[18:42] Innkeeper
    It won't just show up here.
[18:44] Earth
    I know.
[18:46] Earth
    I was just joking and hoping it would work.
[18:48] Earth
    It would be great if it did...
[18:51] Innkeeper
    Uh?
[18:53] Earth
    It did work.
[18:54] Innkeeper
    It sure did.
[19:02] Earth
    Okay, let me down here!
[19:05] Earth
    If I ride you into town,
    it'll make a huge fuss!
[19:11] Earth
    Don't get so disappointed, please...
[19:21] Earth
    Here you go!
[19:22] Earth
    Some cooking to thank you!
[19:24] Earth
    Eat up!
[19:36] Earth
    All filled up? There, there.
[19:41] Earth
    You're sure?

     Ranged weapon and magic dodge chance 10% up. Movement speed 10% up.
[19:46] Earth
    That's an incredibly powerful effect.
[19:49] Earth
    Thanks, Pikasha!
[19:56] Earth
    See you around!
[20:02] Blacks
    Hey, Earth.
[20:03] Blacks
    It's been a while.
[20:04] Earth
    I'm back.
[20:06] Earth
    I was visiting the Fairy Kingdom,
[20:09] Earth
    but I realized I need some new equipment.
[20:11] Blacks
    You can use the place all you like.
[20:13] Blacks
    By the way, do you have enough materials?
[20:15] Earth
    I went to all the hunting spots,
    but they were all drained dry.
[20:19] Earth
    I'll work things out somehow.
SIGN    Light Metal-Coated X-Type Compound Hunting Bow
     Metal coating has been added to strengthen the bow, making it more durable and stronger at the price of becoming heavier.
     Effect: Atk+55 Score: 6
[20:28] Earth
    It's a little heavier now,
    but I think it's still okay.
[20:31] Earth
    Its old attack power was
    46, so it's gone up by 9.
[20:35] Earth
    This one's going to be a lot
    harder to keep repaired, though.
[20:41] Earth
    Time to try out my new bow.
[20:45] Earth
    A breaking announcement?
[20:47] Earth
    "A Challenge From the Departed"
    has been fully cleared?
[20:54] Labyrinth Guardian
    Thank you for freeing the souls of
    those who were trapped and suffering.
[20:59] Labyrinth Guardian
    I am the guardian of the labyrinth.
[21:05] Labyrinth Guardian
    You have all purified the wicked spirit
    energy that resided within the labyrinth,
[21:09] Labyrinth Guardian
    and now I can finally return to heaven.
[21:12] Earth
    I see, so this was the backstory.
[21:16] Labyrinth Guardian
    I'd like to reword those who
    contributed most to our freedom,
[21:21] Labyrinth Guardian
    but unfortunately I only
    have so many items to give.
[21:25] Earth
    A PvP tournament that only those who
    defeated a secret boss can participate in.
[21:32] Earth
    All the items you get from
    winning look really strong.
[21:36] Labyrinth Guardian
    Will you participate?
[21:39] Earth
    No!
[21:41] Earth
    Those rewards look great, but I don't
    want to fight in public anymore.
[21:51] Earth
    I've never heard a cry like that before.
[21:55] Earth
    I don't want to get involved
    in any more trouble,
[21:58] Earth
    but it'd bother me if I didn't look into it.
[22:05] Earth
    A dragon?!
