[00:30] Ketchum
    We're sorry, Orcelott-san.
[00:33] Remy
    We weren't expecting the
    Attack Master to join in.
[00:39] Remy
    I mean... how could we?
[00:42] Orcelott
    There's a Unique Scenario on the line.
[00:44] Orcelott
    You should've expected
    top players to show up.
[00:47] Pencilgon
    Why didn't you do it yourself, then?
[00:52] Orcelott
    I've got better things to do.
[00:56] Pencilgon
    Oh, yeah?

    Seriously, to unlock the elite jobs you've got to at least make it to Sixburg.
    How many times do I have to tell people this?
    Maybe we should put it on the FAQ.
    
    75: Alinoiyu (Beginner)
    I have a question for our esteemed elders. I was picking up equipment
    in Secondale when I ran into this player. He had the cutest talking bunny
    with him. How can I befriend this monster?
[00:58] Orcelott
    Anyway, this rabbit is definitely
    the key to some unique stuff.
[01:02] Orcelott
    And we're dealing with a beginner
    who barely knows the system.
[01:06] Orcelott
    Threaten him however you need to.
[01:08] Orcelott
    Just get the information from him.
[01:10] Branch
    Sir.
[01:11] Ketchum
    Fine.
[01:13] Pencilgon
    Not that I have a problem with pet rabbits...
[01:16] Pencilgon
    But as Ashura Kai, shouldn't we figure
    out how to deal with that first?
[01:28] Orcelott
    This again?
[01:31] Orcelott
    I told you my policy on that.
[01:33] Orcelott
    Unique monsters aren't made to be beatable.
[01:36] Orcelott
    At the moment, we're the only ones who
    know that thing's spawn conditions.
[01:41] Orcelott
    Just encountering it nabs us experience,
    so if we play our cards right,
[01:45] Orcelott
    we can use it to increase
    Ashura Kai's battle power.
[01:49] Branch
    There's nothing to be gained
    by fighting that thing.
[01:51] Ketchum
    Going whole-hog on that fight would
    just be throwing good items away.
[01:55] Remy
    Agreed.
[02:04] Pencilgon
    Ah, I figured.
[02:05] Pencilgon
    These people really are useless.
[02:11] Orcelott
    Hey, where are you going?
[02:12] Orcelott
    You're supposed to wait
    until the others arri—
[02:14] Pencilgon
    So sorry.
[02:15] Pencilgon
    I've got better things to do.
[02:27] Orcelott
    Screw you, Big Sis.
[02:30] Pencilgon
    Ashura Kai used to get hate
    from everyone around them
[02:33] Pencilgon
    and made "thrive on hate" their philosophy.
[02:36] Pencilgon
    But since the update patch made
    player-killing a riskier venture,
[02:42] Pencilgon
    they've changed.
[02:44] Pencilgon
    Avoiding danger, seeking stability...
[02:46] Pencilgon
    the current Ashura Kai can't defeat that.
[02:53] Pencilgon
    Hard to believe
[02:55] Pencilgon
    I'm putting my neck on the
    line for one little NPC.
[02:59] Pencilgon
    Who would have thought?
[03:02] Pencilgon
    It's a huge gamble, win or lose...
[03:05] Pencilgon
    I'll bet everything I have, and win.
[03:10] Pencilgon
    To bury that Unique monster,
[03:11] Pencilgon
    one of the Seven Colossi...

[05:07] Sunraku
    We'll head for the

    Would you like to know
    my reasoning, Emul-kun?

    It's gonna be a pain in the ass if there're
    guns and such in the ruins, so hard pass.

    I-Isn't that... That's Psyger-0, right?

    Talk about intimidating...

    Wait, is he here to get
    payback for stepping on him?!
[05:42] Sunraku
    Bad news, Emul!

    Run!
[05:44] Emul
    What?!
[05:53] Ketchum
    Any sightings of the birdman?
[05:55] Remy
    Nah.
[05:57] Remy
    He might've moved on to a new area already.

    That's it! He thinks he can

    Thinks he's pretty clever, eh?

    Look at that!

[06:30] Man
    And there he goes.
[06:32] Man
    What was that all about?
[06:35] Remy
    There he is!
[06:36] Ketchum
    Get back here, you!
[06:40] Sunraku
    Damn it.
[06:41] Sunraku
    Emul, let's move on to the next area!
[06:43] Emul
    Of course!
[06:47] Remy
    I know where he's going.
[06:50] Remy
    He's making a beeline for the Iron Ruins.
[06:53] Ketchum
    Let's tell 'em to set an ambush at the gate!
[06:56] Lass
    Got it. We're on our way.
[07:00] Emul
    Excuse me, Sunraku-san?!
[07:02] Sunraku
    What?
[07:03] Emul
    Wasn't our destination the
    Prismatic Forest Grotto?
[07:06] Emul
    This is the way to the Iron
    Ruins of the Divinity!
[07:10] Sunraku
    Yeah, it's a fake-out!
[07:12] Sunraku
    If I went straight to my real destination,
    they'd catch on in a minute!
[07:15] Sunraku
    I'll make 'em think I'm
    heading for the ruins,
[07:18] Sunraku
    while I cut through an alley and head
    for the Prismatic Forest Grotto!
[07:22] Sunraku
    If I can just shake 'em off for a second...
[07:25] Sunraku
    They'll just go to wait for me
    at the wrong gate!
[07:31] Ketchum
    Damn it. Where'd he go?
[07:33] Ketchum
    Just head for the gate
    that leads to the Ruins!
[07:36] Remy
    Right.
[07:45] Sunraku
    You see that, Emul?
[07:46] Sunraku
    In order to truly deceive another,
[07:48] Sunraku
    you must always prepare
    at least one obvious lie,
[07:50] Sunraku
    one truth that seems like a lie,
    and one lie that seems truthful.
[07:54] Emul
    How educational!

    I learned that from Pencilgon, actually.

    Help me?

    You're trying to get me in your debt
    and shake me down for info later!

    Um... I'm not a huge fan of

[10:39] Sunraku
    I appreciate the offer,
    but I'll have to say no.

    O...
[10:45] Psyger
    Of course you would!

    Um, so... I'm sorry if I've

    I-I suppose I've been very rude...
[10:57] Psyger
    Then... good luck with your game!

    Oh... yeah.
[11:02] Sunraku
    And sorry about using you
    as a stepping stool earlier.

    O-Oh, not at all!
[11:08] Psyger-0
    W-Well, another time, maybe!
[11:11] Sunraku
    Right.
[11:12] Sunraku
    Well... later, then.
[11:19] Sunraku
    Eh? She backed off pretty quickly...
[11:23] Emul
    That pioneer looked very strong indeed!
[11:26] Sunraku
    Yeah, she's quite a gamer.
[11:28] Sunraku
    Probably four or five times stronger than me.
[11:31] Emul
    Though I'm sure your vorpal
    soul is by far the stronger!
[11:35] Sunraku
    I appreciate that.
[11:37] Sunraku
    Though I wish she'd tell me what
    the hell a vorpal soul is already.
[11:42] Sunraku
    Still... maybe I'm overthinking it?
[11:47] Sunraku
    Well, I'll write it off as an encounter
    with a more rational Lycagon,
[11:50] Sunraku
    put it behind me and move on!
[11:56] Psyger-0
    That girl with him didn't
    have a name over her head.
[12:01] Psyger-0
    I guess she was an NPC, huh?
[12:04] Psyger-0
    I was so shocked, at first,
    I ended up hiding, but...
[12:08] Rei
    One way or another, Hizutome-kun
    accepted my friend request!
[12:12] Rei
    I've made progress, Mana-san!
[12:16] Mana
    So tell him how you feel.
[12:19] Ketchum
    Damn it.
[12:20] Ketchum
    He's not heading for the ruins after all?
[12:22] Remy

[12:24] Remy
    Seems he knows what he's doing.

    I knew you were there, you mantis bastard!

    Just improvise, girl. It's all about feeling.

    This is all very tricky.

    Quad Beetle is attacking
    with all four of his horns

    Is this the end of the Empire Bees?!
[18:15] Sunraku
    Well, Emul-san?
[18:16] Sunraku
    Give the people a word!
[18:18] Emul
    I-It's a very large bug!
[18:22] Sunraku
    What in the world?
[18:25] Sunraku
    Goodness me!
[18:26] Sunraku
    The unrelenting wave of attacks
[18:28] Sunraku
    has created an exploitable crack
    in the Quad Beetle's armor!
[18:32] Sunraku
    The Empire Bee Queen gives
    the crucial order to attack!
[18:36] Sunraku
    Quad Beetle's in big trouble now!
[18:48] Sunraku
    And it's done!
[18:50] Sunraku
    Once he had her in firing range,
    Quad Beetle flew right into the queen!
[18:55] Sunraku
    With their queen gone,
    the bees are scattering!
[19:02] Sunraku
    And right back to his meal, huh?
[19:05] Sunraku
    With a near-death injury and everything.
[19:08] Sunraku
    That's what I call a kingly air.

    He's coming right for us!
[19:22] Emul
    Oh, gracious!

    Hey, I wanted to collect
    those Empire Bee drop items!
[19:29] Sunraku
    What's with the hair-trigger temper?
[19:31] Sunraku
    I didn't do anything to him!

    Perhaps he thinks you were there for the sap!
[19:38] Sunraku
    Sap, huh?
SIGN    Storage Papillon Nectar Pouch
[19:43] Sunraku
    Let's try it!
[19:55] Sunraku
    Looks like he really was after the nectar.
[20:00] Sunraku
    Those cracks in your armor
    the Empire Bees left...
[20:04] Sunraku
    I can't leave them unexploited!

    Exploiting the labor of others
