Bianca: Come on, let's go and explore! I can show you around so you don't go gettin' yourself lost, Hero.
Bianca: Mum still treats me like I'm just a little baby.
Bianca: I hope Dad gets better again soon.
Bianca: Your father looks so strong and powerful.
Bianca: You're a bit weedy compared to him. Maybe you'll get more like him as you grow up, though, eh?
Bianca: Ha ha! Did that little story give you a fright, Hero?
Bianca: It dun't scare me one bit. I've heard it so many times now that I just take it with a pinch of salt.
Bianca: Our place is an inn, so we've got quite a lot of crockery and the like. I dun't remember seein' anythin' silver, though.
Bianca: There's quite a few shops here in Roundbeck, y'know. Our inn's the biggest, though.
Bianca: He's got a blimmin' cheek, thinkin' we're out to cause trouble!
Bianca: Ha! What he dun't realise is that I know he falls asleep of a night. I've seen him!
Bianca: Those kids are always up to no good.
Bianca: You wun't believe what they did to me the othⓚⓛ Never mind. It's nothin'!
Bianca: Now I dun't have any choice but to go off ghostbustin'. Will you give me a hand, Hero?
Bianca: Really!? You're braver than you look! I never expected you to say yes.
Bianca: Oh, go on! I'll be with you, so you wun't come to any harm or nothin'. Let's go!
Bianca: I wonder if there really are ghosts there.
Bianca: We can't let those nasty brats get away with bullyin' that poor little cat!
Bianca: Hang in there just a bit longer, puss. We'll rescue you, dun't you worry.
Bianca: That's a funny old purr you've got goin' there, though!
Bianca: It's hard to imagine that old man was ever young, eh!?
Bianca: Kids aren't supposed to come in here, Hero! I suppose you couldn't have known that, though.
Bianca: I bet my mum would be just the same if I said I wanted a cat. Mums, eh!?
Bianca: It's a lot livelier than little old Whealbrook, eh? You look a bit surprised.
Bianca: You used to come 'round my house to play quite a lot when you were little. Don't you remember?
Bianca: This is the best room in the house. The view from here's amazin'.
Bianca: Mum planted a grapevine last year.
Bianca: When we get some grapes off it, I'll let you have a taste.
Bianca: You still a bit sleepy, Hero?
Bianca: You'd better get with it if we're off to Uptaten Towers on our ghostbustin' mission.
Bianca: I'm not sure I believe you. Unless you're sayin' you always look that dopey.
Bianca: This time we'll manage it. We'll sort them ghosts out and set that poor kitten free.
Bianca: Watch out, Hero! We'll be in trouble if you wake him up.
Bianca: I dun't think I'd be scared of a ghost if it was just standin' there cryin'.
Bianca: I hope Mum dun't catch Dad's cold, sleepin' that close and all.
Bianca: We've had cold weather for ages now. It's no surprise Dad got ill with it.
Bianca: Fancy thinkin' we're ghosts! Charmin'!
Bianca: I knew he'd be asleep. Looks like we can leave. I'm a little bit nervous now, though.
Bianca: It's hard to imagine that old man was ever young, eh!?
Bianca: Oops. Looks like we're in trouble. But it's not like we were up to no good or nothin'.
Bianca: Looks like it's not a good idea for kids to go in a pub of a night after all.
Bianca: I know! We should come back here again one day when we're all grown up, Hero!
Bianca: We'll do it! And that's a promise.
Bianca: I understand what he's gettin' at. The glass you drink from can be just as important as the drink itself.
Bianca: I wonder why grown-ups act so funny when they've bin drinkin'. I dun't get it.
Bianca: Are you okay, Hero? Maybe we should've bin a bit more careful, eh?
Bianca: We'd better try and take it a bit more slowly this time.
Bianca: I've never snuck out of town like this before. It's well excitin'!
Bianca: We saved the cat and we helped those nice people at the castle, so it was worth all the effort.
Bianca: Ha! So he dun't think I'm a wimp any more.
Bianca: I wun't too sure if I'd manage it either! I doubt I could've done it without you, Hero.
Bianca: %0%a001210 seems pretty happy. I hope he likes his new name.
Bianca: That guard always falls asleep of a night, so he can't stop us goin' out. You've seen it for yourself now, eh, Hero?
Bianca: I'm startin' to feel a bit weird havin' all this praise lumped on me.
Bianca: She must have blimmin' good ears to be able to hear cries from the castle at this distance!
Bianca: I thought I'd really be for it, but Mum dun't seem all that angry.
Bianca: I bet it's because you were there with me, Hero.
Bianca: You're pretty brave considerin' you're two years younger than me and all that.
Bianca: I reckon havin' you along helped me to be that bit braver as well.
Bianca: Looks like you'll be goin' back to Whealbrook once you've said your goodbyes, eh?
Bianca: Um... Never mind. You'd better get around and tell everyone you're off.
Bianca: You should take %a001210 along with you, Hero. Make sure you give him a stroke from me every now and then.
Bianca: That's all that old bloke ever says. We must really remind him of how he used to be.
Bianca: All we were tryin' to do was save %a001210. You wouldn't have thought it'd cause such a fuss.
Bianca: It's good that your dad's got over his cold already.
Bianca: But I wish it didn't mean you have to go home today. We've bin havin' a good laugh together, you and me.
Bianca: It's a little bit odd-lookin', but it's still quite cute as cats go.
Bianca: I wonder why there are so many gravestones here at the entrance to the castle.
Bianca: I dun't much like the look of this.
Bianca: That's weird! Last thing I knew, we were stayin' at the inn inside the castle.
Bianca: So how did we end up outside? I dun't like this one bit!
Bianca: It dun't look like we're goin' to get that door open. This castle's fallin' to bits. I s'pose no one comes here no more.
Bianca: I've got a horrible cold feelin' up and down my spine. You be careful, okay, Hero?
Bianca: Keep your eyes peeled, okay, Hero? I've got a nasty feelin' about this place.
Bianca: .........!
Bianca: I was a bit scared for a while back there, but it's all just show, I reckon.
Bianca: Nothin' can frighten me now!
Bianca: I wonder if she used to be the head of the castle. Shall we try goin' down those stairs?
Bianca: That poor woman. Fancy still havin' to suffer even after you're dead!
Bianca: Come on, Hero! Let's get to work. We came here to get rid of ghosts, after all.
Bianca: Yikes! That was a bit of a shock! The lightning's so strong all of a sudden.
Bianca: I wonder if that fella who just disappeared was the king or suchlike of this place.
Bianca: Why do the both of them keep disappearin' rather than just comin' out with whatever it is they want to say?
Bianca: Those must be the folk who are made to keep dancin'. The poor things. They look exhausted.
Bianca: Where's this king fella off to!?
Bianca: He's a bit of a pushy one, eh? Still, we can agree to what he wants because that's the reason we're here anyway.
Bianca: I s'pose the Count's tryin' to help us out as much as he can. That's good.
Bianca: Shall we head on down to the kitchen and get that torch then, Hero?
Bianca: I s'pose it's time then. It's a bit scary, but I'm sure we can do it, Hero.
Bianca: I was a bit frightened at first, but when I saw the Count and Countess, it wasn't all that scary.
Bianca: And this room's so full of people that it sort of feels nice and lively, not spooky at all!
Bianca: Still, it is a bit weird when you think we're the only ones here who are actually alive. Hm, maybe it is a bit scary, after all!
Bianca: What's so scary about these spirits of Nadiria? I don't really get what he's on about.
Bianca: I wonder why there are some human ghosts and some non-human ghosts too.
Bianca: Maybe they lost their bodies somehow, so they can't go back to how they used to look.
Bianca: What nasty creatures!
Bianca: I never imagined skeletons could get hungry. I wonder what happens to the stuff they eat.
Bianca: What d'you suppose skeletons like to eat, anyway? Nah! Maybe it's best not to know.
Bianca: They don't seem to be able to see us. I suppose skeletons must be blind.
Bianca: That poor girl. They've probably bin makin' her dance like that for years now.
Bianca: I wonder if this %a000100 is part of the tea set.
Bianca: It's as dirty as anything, though. The Count and Countess would be really sad if they saw it in this state.
Bianca: It must be horrible wantin' to sleep but not bein' able to.
Bianca: I want to sort these ghosts out and then get off to bed myself, to be honest. Best get crackin'!
Bianca: The door's open! I didn't much like the feel of that warm breeze just then, mind.
Bianca: There's somethin' too weird about this. I dun't like the idea of stayin' the night with a dead spirit!
Bianca: I heard somethin' about there bein' treasure here too. Looks like it was just a rumour. Oh well.
Bianca: Crikey! What a smell! Come on, Hero. Let's get out of here!
Bianca: I feel a bit sorry for the special ingredient, havin' to be smothered in that stinky sauce!
Bianca: Now we'll be able to find our way in the dark. Thanks, Count Uptaten!
Bianca: Make sure you dun't burn yourself, Hero.
Bianca: It's a million times easier to walk about the place now. Ouch! That's hot! Have a care, Hero!
Bianca: Phew! That was a close one. That smelly sauce has made me stink, mind you!
Bianca: I didn't expect that hole to be there, did you?
Bianca: Looks like we put that cook's mind at ease, anyway.
Bianca: Now we just have to sort out the boss man. Come on, Hero!
Bianca: That really is a pretty ball. It's like a huge jewel or somethin'!
Bianca: I wonder if the ghosts came here and ransacked the place because they were tryin' to find it.
Bianca: That's weird! Our clothes are all nice and clean again!
Bianca: The Count and Countess must've got rid of the nasty sauce stains for us somehow. That's handy!
Bianca: I dun't like it here. It's dark and creepy. I reckon there are ghosts about.
Bianca: But we have to stick it out for the sake of that poor cat. Come on, Hero. Let's keep goin'.
Bianca: The creepy feelin' about this place has suddenly gone now the ghosts are defeated.
Bianca: It's like everythin' about the place has changed, even the air!
Bianca: Looks like it'll be mornin' soon. We'd best get back to Roundbeck.
Bianca: We can't seem to get out of here now. B-But I'm sure we'll be okay if we keep goin' forwards!
Bianca: I thought it'd be too dark to get anywhere, but we should be fine now. On we go, Hero.
Bianca: I wonder what made the ghosts come and live here in the first place.
Bianca: What is it about this castle that attracted them, d'you suppose?
Bianca: Now everyone's bin able to get off to sleep nice and peacefully. It's great to have done a good deed like that.
Bianca: This room's enormous. Just look at the height of the ceilin'!
Bianca: I'll bet they had some amazin' balls and parties here in the past.
Bianca: You've bin a bit quiet, Hero. Are you wishin' you hadn't come?
Bianca: I know how you feel. But try not to worry. I won't let anythin' bad happen, I promise.
Bianca: You're probably a bit nervous, eh? But try not to worry. We'll be fine. Come on!
Bianca: It's so dark in here! Make sure you dun't bang into the walls, eh, Hero?
Bianca: I think there's somethin' there, Hero. But I doubt it'll hurt us. We can probably just ignore it, right?
Bianca: It's finally time for our ghost-bustin', eh? Are you ready for this?
Bianca: Then let's go! We can do this!
Bianca: Why en't you ready? D'you need to go to the toilet or somethin'!?
Bianca: Honestly! Just go over there and hurry up with it!
Bianca: Let's go get the boss man! He'll pay for all this!
Bianca: Those were weird ghosts, eh? I wonder if they were the spirits of Nadiria.
Bianca: This castle's enormous! I dun't know how anyone could find their way around.
Bianca: I can't really tell the difference between ghosts and monsters and spirits. They're all the same to me.
Bianca: This must be the kitchen. Let's find that torch.
Bianca: Let's go. I know you're probably wonderin' about the food, but we need to get that ghost before we do anythin'.
Bianca: I dun't think I've ever seen so much dust. I wonder how long it's bin since this place had a good clean.
Bianca: What's wrong, Hero? Are you scared?
Bianca: Just keep thinkin' about that cat. You want to help it, right?
Bianca: Ha ha! You're braver than you look, Hero. I'm impressed!
Bianca: Looks like the monsters have all gone now. That's good news.
Bianca: It'll be mornin' soon. We'd better get back to Roundbeck.
Bianca: The Whealbrook guard has a snooze at night-time, dun't he?
Bianca: Still, he's there blockin' the village entrance even so. I'd say that puts him above the fella at Roundbeck.
Bianca: En't we supposed to be gettin' over to Uptaten Towers for a spot of ghostbustin', Hero?
Bianca: Then what are we doin' here in Whealbrook? You don't have much sense of direction, eh?
Bianca: We're done with the ghostbustin' now, and it'll be mornin' soon. We should hurry up and get back to Roundbeck.
Bianca: Dun't you think we'd better get a move on with our ghostbustin'?
Bianca: We'll be in trouble if the grown-ups wake up and spot us here.
Bianca: What are you doin', Hero!? What's the point in speakin' to folk when they're asleep, eh?
Bianca: No way! I can't believe we made it this far all on our own!
Bianca: What am I sayin'!? We shouldn't be standin' 'round here pattin' ourselves on the back. We need to get over to Uptaten Towers!
Bianca: I've come over all sleepy all of a sudden. Can we go back to Roundbeck now?
Bianca: This fella's doin' a good job of standin' guard, eh? He's not sleepin' on the job even though it's night-time.
Bianca: It's great fun bein' able to wander about outside the village like this, eh?
Bianca: I'm well impressed that we've made it this far, though. We've come a long way, you and me.
Bianca: Aren't you feelin' tired, Hero? I'm ready to go back to Roundbeck myself.
Bianca: What are you up to, Hero? We've done our ghostbustin', so it's time we got off home.
Bianca: People say you run into monsters if you wander about outside of town, dun't they?
Bianca: Still, we got to go and sort out those ghosts at Uptaten Towers, so it's no good worryin' ourselves about that.
Bianca: You and your old man Pankraz have bin travellin' about together for a good long while now, haven't you, Hero?
Bianca: You're so lucky. The only place I've ever bin is borin' old Whealbrook.
Bianca: This ghostbustin' trip will be the furthest I've travelled, y'know.
Bianca: Let's hurry up and sort them ghosts out so we can save that poor cat!
Bianca: Maybe we've gone and agreed to somethin' a bit too tricky. I hope we'll be able to save that poor little cat.
Bianca: We did it! We're the bee's knees, you and me!
Bianca: I won't get a wink of sleep tonight now!
Bianca: I can hardly wait for mornin' to roll around. It'll be wonderful to get that poor cat away from them horrible boys.
Honey: It wasn't a dream, you know. Faeries are real! And so is Faerie Lea, and everything else in the Realm of the Faeries.
Honey: I mean, you're talking to me now, aren't you? So it couldn't have been a dream, could it?
Honey: Your dad looks really tough. Yes, he's the kind of human I was hoping to find to help us.
Honey: Oops-a-daisy! I didn't mean I'm not happy with you. I am. Honest! Tee hee hee!
Honey: I bet you'll grow up to be a great man too, Hero. Just like your father.
Honey: I mean, you got the Herald of Spring back for us. That's amazing!
Honey: No one else would understand, even if you told them all about me and the other faeries.
Honey: It'd better be our little secret. Just between you and me. Tee hee! It'll be fun, won't it?
Honey: It is a little bit chilly here, I suppose. But compared to where I come from, it's like an oven.
Honey: I'm sorry. I've put you in danger, and you're just a boy too.
Honey: If only grown-up humans could see me as well. Then I wouldn't have had to ask you to help us.
Honey: All the grown-ups just see you as a normal little boy, don't they? Well never judge a book by its cover! That's what we faeries say.
Honey: If winter never ends, everything'll be frozen by the ice, and no one will have anything to eat.
Honey: We have to get the flute back! We need the Herald of Spring to bring an end to the freezing winter.
Honey: Now you can grow your vegetables again. Those sweet potatoes you humans eat are yummy. I'll sneak back and have some more sometime!
Honey: Your village has such a warm atmosphere, Hero. Not the temperature, silly! I mean all the nice people.
Honey: It's true. If you were a bit older, things wouldn't be so difficult for me, either.
Honey: Oops! I, I didn't mean that. I mean... Tee hee hee hee!
Honey: That old man's a silly billy! What does he know?
Honey: You'd be a great help to your father, if only he'd let you.
Honey: That young man looked like... No, it can't be...
Honey: He had a strange look in his eyes, didn't he? Just like you...
Honey: I didn't want to ask you to help us. I don't like putting you in danger. But I had no choice.
Honey: The danger's passed now. Come on, let's go and tell Treacle the good news!
Honey: You've been moving from place to place your whole life, haven't you? That's why you're so used to travelling.
Honey: It wasn't me! Not this time.
Honey: Tee hee hee! He's worse than me, that old man with his tricks!
Honey: Hee hee! He's really puzzled! Well I wrote it, so I get to rub it out. That's fair, isn't it?
Honey: You see, I'm really quite a good little faerie. That's why Treacle chose me.
Honey: Someone's after your father? Oh no! I suppose we faeries aren't the only ones with problems.
Honey: You'll help protect your father. I know you will. And I'll be looking out for you both too.
Honey: The legendary hero? But...he's not real, is he? I mean, a legend's a legend, isn't it?
Honey: If your father really was a king, that would make you a prince!
Honey: So, Prince Hero! I, Honey the faerie, humbly request your assistance to save my homeland. ...Tee hee hee!
Honey: If your father really was a king, that would make you a prince!
Honey: Well, Prince Hero! One is most honoured to have been assisted by Your Royal Highliness! ...Tee hee hee!
Honey: That's exactly what I think too! When you look at me, I feel all fuzzy and warm inside!
Honey: And you can see me. You've definitely got better eyes than all the other humans!
Honey: There's a lovely warm atmosphere in this little town.
Honey: You're ready to go back to the Realm of the Faeries now? Alright then, better prepare for battle!
Honey: Let's go back to Faerie Lea, then. Treacle will be over the moon!
Honey: Actually, this is where I first met you, isn't it, Hero?
Honey: I was at such a loss because no one could see me that I started to sing at the top of my voice.
Honey: And then you spoke to me. I was so happy, I could have burst!
Honey: So some of you humans live in little caves like this? I thought only the dwarfs did that. You're a funny lot.
Honey: Tee hee! Maybe we overdid it a bit.
Honey: You're only young. I shouldn't push you so hard...
Honey: No one would believe we beat the Winter Queen before, getting wiped out like that! Must've been a lapse of concentration, I suppose.
Honey: Anyway, Treacle's expecting us. I can't wait to see her face when we take her the Herald of Spring!
Honey: I hope we'll make a good team, Hero!
Honey: I knew it. Treacle's not sure about you because you're so young.
Honey: That's why she wants me to go along with you: to make sure nothing happens to you.
Honey: It's true that we faeries aren't very strong, but we're amazing at magic. You can leave all the healing and support spells to me!
Honey: Maybe the world really will freeze over completely if we can't get the Herald of Spring back...
Honey: None of us faeries knows what's going on inside the Winter Palace, you see.
Honey: What's wrong with everyone!? You'll make a great warrior, they'll see. Come on! We need to head out into the cold...
Honey: Oh, yes! The spring in Faerie Lea is wonderful! Blossom covers everything. Even the air takes on a sweet, pink tinge.
Honey: Well I think Treacle's right. Why shouldn't we all live together? That faerie's called Butterscotch, but we call her Bitterscotch! Tee hee hee!
Honey: I'm sure faeries and humans and monsters can all live together if we all try really hard!
Honey: That slime always used to say, ⓗI'm not a bad slime, you know!ⓘ And it's true. It left all its bad monster instincts behind.
Honey: It was just wandering about on its own when Treacle invited it to live in Faerie Lea.
Honey: What!? That little kitten's a great sabrecat!?
Honey: Heⓚⓛ Hee hee! O-Of course it is! I knew that. That's how I knew you were special just as soon as I met you.
Honey: Ⓠ When you're cold and blue, Ⓠ You need a bath 'n' shampoo Ⓡ Tee hee hee! I wish I could get in too!
Honey: The last village elder was really strict. You could get in trouble for anything. Even if you upset the peace just a teeny-weeny bit.
Honey: He only passed away recently. So Treacle's only been village elder for a little while, you see.
Honey: There are quite a few dwarfs living here in Faerie Lea, you know. They're merchants, mostly. And artisans too.
Honey: It still feels good to come home, even though things aren't quite right here.
Honey: That's unforgivable, thinking so sourly about Treacle! Dwight's mean! ...Er, who is this Dwight dwarf anyway?
Honey: Unforgivable, thinking so sourly about Treacle!
Honey: That old dwarf's been living here all this time because he was thrown out of Faerie Lea.
Honey: What Dwight's done is unforgivable, but I do feel sorry for the old dwarf. So I suppose I can understand why Dwight did what he did.
Honey: I don't trust that slime. It came out with ⓗI'm not a bad slimeⓘ before we'd even said anything. And who is this Dwight, anyway?
Honey: That man talks funny. I don't trust him. If you ask me, I think he's looking for ⓗLots about Locksⓘ to help him steal things.
Honey: Come on! We've got to find it first!
Honey: We never used to have people like him in our world.
Honey: Maybe it's a sign of bad things to come. I suppose that's why the old village elder was so strict.
Honey: Tee hee hee! ⓗLots about Locksⓘ for me! Ⓡ I can't believe you told him you'd already found it!
Honey: He looked so scary. You're really brave, Hero.
Honey: Yippee! Now we can open locked doors all over the place!
Honey: But no peeking behind doors you shouldn't be peeking behind! Tee hee! Tee hee hee!
Honey: Wowee! It really works! You really can open locked doors now!
Honey: Tee hee hee! It makes you think of all sorts of cheeky tricks and naughty things we could get up to! No wonder the village elder was worried.
Honey: I never knew there was a cave here before.
Honey: I wonder how far it goes down...
Honey: This is my first time in a cave. In fact, I've hardly been outside Faerie Lea at all until now...
Honey: If I'd come here on my own, I don't know if I'd have found my way out again.
Honey: It's a bit embarrassing actually, but...well... Hee hee hee! My sense of direction is abysmal. It's lucky I came with you.
Honey: This place is yucky. It's dark and wet and infested with monsters and yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yucky!
Honey: And that old dwarf's had to live in here all this time. Tee hee heⓚⓛ Oops! I mean, poor thing!
Honey: I'd never been in a cave until now. I thought it'd be really exciting and fun, but I'm bored.
Honey: I'm so bored I could die! I don't know how you put up with it, Hero.
Honey: Do you think that Dwight boy is really sorry for what he did? I'm not so sure...
Honey: That slime said it was Dwight right from the start, didn't it?
Honey: I knew it was telling the truth all along. Tee hee hee!
Honey: You see!? That Dwight boy's not sorry at all!
Honey: He's just a troublemaker if you ask me.
Honey: Er... Hero... Treacle wants the Herald of Spring back as soon as possible.
Honey: Hello? Can you hear me? No more side trips, okay?
Honey: You're teasing me, aren't you? You know I hate caves. Tee hee hee! You're worse than me, Hero!
Honey: It's locked, just like everyone said. Weren't you listening, Hero?
Honey: Hey! Didn't someone tell us about a dwarf who was thrown out of Faerie Lea for writing a book called ⓗLots about Locksⓘ or something...?
Honey: Sweet! We're in! But now it gets scary!
Honey: We've no idea what's waiting in here. Better tread gingerbreadly... Tee hee hee!
Honey: Unbelievable! The White Dwarⓚⓛ I mean, Dwight, just left without so much as a sorry!
Honey: Come on! Time to get the Herald of Spring at last!
Honey: This p-palace is so b-beautiful, but so c-c-cold! Brrr...
Honey: If it was summer, a cool place like this would be yummy. But in winter it's yucky!
Honey: You can't underestimate anyone, you see. Even a child. But we'll beat that Dwight dwarf next time!
Honey: Tee hee hee! You are a warrior, see. I was right! I knew it all along!
Honey: We better not let Treacle down. She's probably watching us even now...
Honey: Hey, wait a minute! We can't leave without the Herald of Spring.
Honey: Yippee! Now we can summon springtime at last!
Honey: But we can't relax just yet. This adventure's not over till we make it home!
Honey: Ow, ow, ow, ouch! Ouch! I hate this place! Who puts holes in the middle of such a slippery floor anyway!?
Honey: Hee hee! You can't stop where you think, can you? We need to think about this a bit...
Honey: Erm... First we move to there... Then to there... And then...erm...to...err... Tee hee! Got you! I haven't got a clue, silly!
Honey: I, I'm a bit amazed too. I wasn't really sure you'd be able to get it back either, Hero. Sorry. Hee hee hee!
Honey: I wonder too... A bit! But who cares now!? Ⓠ We beat the Winter Queen, ner-nee ner-nee ner ner! Ⓡ
Honey: If it got really, really cold, do you think a slime might stop wobbling about and go all hard like a stone?
Honey: Tee hee hee! That'd be fun! I wish we could try it.
Honey: ⓗEven bigger problemsⓘ? What a cheek! We should all be yahooing now, not boohooing!
Honey: You are brave, it's true. And strong. And clever. And nice. And, and, and... Are all humans like you?
Honey: This is our world, where all the faeries live. You come from the human world. And then there's the underworld, where the monsters live.
Honey: What? Where is the underworld? Well, er......it's, er......I... It's...underneath us! Yes, that's where it is!
Honey: (gulp) I knew it. Treacle's been watching us the whole time.
Honey: I didn't do anything silly, did I? Or say anything bad? Oh, no. I bet I'm in trouble...
Honey: I'm sorry, Hero. Some faeries don't like humans very much.
Honey: But I'm sure they'll all feel differently now that you've saved the day!
Honey: I can't wait for spring! I want to watch all the pretty blossoms dancing around me in the warm breeze!
Honey: Only Treacle can summon spring. She has to blow the Herald of Spring herself.
Honey: At the first sweet sound of the flute, spring will burst into life!
Honey: We can't keep the Herald of Spring forever, silly! We've got to give it to Treacle.
Honey: The snow goes on and on forever, you know. But really, it should be spring by now. All the pretty flowers should be bursting into life...
Honey: You're very quiet, aren't you? Do you miss your home already?
Honey: I wonder if we'll manage to get the Herald of Spring back. I mean, you're only small, aren't you? Tee hee hee!
Honey: I wonder why Treacle asked me to accompany you... I suppose she wants me to keep an eye on you.
Honey: You're just a boy after all. You need someone a bit older to make sure you don't get into trouble. ...That's me!
Honey: There's something special about you. I'm sure of it. We faeries are never wrong about things like that, you know. Never.
Honey: It's always cold in winter, but never this cold. Something's not right...
Honey: This is the first time I've ever been exploring like this, so I'm feeling a little bit nervous.
Honey: I know it's still freezing cold, but inside I feel like spring already! Yippee!
Honey: You really are amazing! I bet that inside you're just full to the brim of special magic bits and bobs!
Honey: Treacle will be waiting for us. We must get back to Faerie Lea.
Pankraz: I'm sorry I left you behind at the castle before. I was just so worried about Prince Harry.
Pankraz: I'll take the rear this time, so you don't need to worry about keeping up with me.
Pankraz: Why would they kidnap the Prince? If it was just for ransom money, I'd be less concerned, but I'm not so sure...
Pankraz: I fear for Prince Harry's life. We can't afford to waste any time!
Pankraz: I'm sorry, Hero. I was so focused on finding Prince Harry, I wasn't paying enough attention to you.
Pankraz: But in times of crisis like this, I need you to look after yourself. You can do that for me, can't you, Hero?
Pankraz: A monster too? Hm, I don't like the sound of this. We must find the Prince at once.
Pankraz: Argh! The barefacedness of these thugs! If we had more time, I'd teach them a lesson right now.
Pankraz: But we must find Prince Harry first. Come on, Hero, you lead the way!
Pankraz: I knew it! The Queen Consort was involved!
Pankraz: The King was right to be worried. But what a way for his fears to be realised!
Pankraz: Oh, yes. I've been meaning to ask you about that young man you were talking to in Whealbrook before we left for Coburg.
Pankraz: When I spoke to him, he asked how our travels were going. I felt like I recognised him, but I just can't put a name to his face.
Pankraz: I'm worried about Prince Harry. There's no time to talk. Just keep moving.
Prince Harry: I... I don't like this place...
Prince Harry: I wonder if... I wonder if your father will be alright?
Prince Harry: Your father was right. I suppose I ought to speak with Father when I get back to Coburg.
Harry: I forgot to tell you, but I found this T 'n' T ticket during the time I was a slave.
Harry: I would've thrown it away in the blink of an eye back in the old days!
Harry: But you hang on to any little scrap of anything you come by when you have so little.
Harry: I'm right behind you too, Hero! We'll do this together!
Harry: It looks like Maria really is going to stay on here.
Harry: What!? Why are you looking at me like that, Hero? You must feel a little sad about it too, right?
Harry: We'll just have to hope we'll have the chance to meet up with her again one day.
Harry: How can you be so cold? Oh well, it's no skin off my nose.
Harry: Fortuna? I don't think I've ever heard of such a town before.
Harry: Just walking back through the gate of this place makes me feel more relaxed.
Harry: I wonder how Maria's getting along. Shall we pop inside and see her?
Harry: Did you bring me here to make me feel better, Hero?
Harry: You didn't have to, really you didn't. But thank you.
Harry: That's quite an impressive statue!
Harry: We should keep it with us all the time. It probably has divine powers.
Harry: It's hard to imagine either of us as good husbands when you think we were both slaves until just recently!
Harry: But we know what it feels like to be miserable because of someone else's violence, so at least we'll never be like her brute of a husband.
Harry: We know more about suffering than most, that's for sure. It's been a rocky ride for us so far.
Harry: Huh... Now we have even more worry and sadness to be burdened with.
Harry: I wonder why Maria seems so lonely. Maybe it's because I'm not around.
Harry: Er, no, I'm sure that's not it. If only it was, though...
Harry: I hope Joshua didn't get into trouble for helping us to escape.
Harry: I just wish there was something we could do. Argh! I feel so helpless!
Harry: As long as I have a bed to sleep in, I'm happy. We've got another long day ahead of us, Hero!
Harry: I feel much better after that rest. Thanks, Hero.
Harry: To tell you the truth, I'm still not quite used to sleeping in a bed again. I suppose it's because I was a slave for such a long time.
Harry: You don't need to worry about me, Hero. Let's move on.
Harry: The Order of Zugzwang was so odd, kidnapping rich and high-class children like that.
Harry: Children are too weak to be of any use, so what's the point? Maybe it's because they're easier to influence.
Harry: I didn't realise rich girls came here to do domestic goddess training of all things! It sounds like a terrible bind.
Harry: Did you bring me here to make me feel better, Hero?
Harry: You didn't have to, really you didn't. But thank you.
Harry: I wish I was a cat. Then Maria and I could beⓚⓛ Er! Never mind!
Harry: How wonderful it must be to be a cat. They never have anything to worry about.
Harry: After all we've been through, being able to sleep in a comfortable bed is pure bliss. Here's to another fruitful day, Hero!
Harry: I feel much better after that rest. Thanks, Hero.
Harry: Why don't we stay here for the night? It's late now, and this is where Maria is. Let's stay!
Harry: You don't need to worry about me, Hero. Let's move on.
Harry: You know... Maria is the first woman I've ever met who I can truly say is both beautiful and kind-hearted.
Harry: She's so warm and friendly. She reminds me of my mother, who died when I was just a small boy.
Harry: Hm? You have a childhood friend like that?
Harry: You lucky thing! You'll have to introduce me to her one day. Don't forget now, will you?
Harry: You know... Maria is the first woman I've ever met who I can truly say is both beautiful and kind-hearted.
Harry: She's so warm and friendly. She reminds me of my mother, who died when I was just a small boy.
Harry: You've got a childhood friend like her, you said. Bianca, wasn't it?
Harry: I hope you get to see her again one day.
Harry: Maria's face is red?
Harry: Maybe she's gone and caught a cold from staying up too late. Oh dear! I do hope she's alright!

Harry: Phew! What a lively place! Just looking at everyone running around makes me dizzy.
Harry: I know the state of Whealbrook's come as a bit of a shock to you. It has to me too, as it happens.
Harry: But now we're here, we should make the most of it and have some fun, don't you think?
Maria: What a vibrant town! Busy places can be so uplifting. But we mustn't let ourselves be distracted now.
Harry: Absolutely! We must stay focused, Hero. No slipping off to have fun!
Harry: ⓗLand of hope and gloryⓘ? I don't really have any particular hopes at the moment, as far as I know.
Harry: Oh, come on! Don't look like that. There's nothing too pressing we need to do right now. Loosen up!
Harry: Well, what I'm hoping for right now is to restore Coburg to its former glory.
Harry: He lost? At what? I wonder what kind of things go on in this town.
Harry: I wouldn't mind having some fun at the casino myself.
Harry: But no! We can't, can we? We have things to do. The casino's going to have to wait until next time.
Harry: It's as big as a castle town. I bet it's pretty lively of a night.
Harry: It's a fine thing for a person to have dreams and ambitions. Mind you, I don't need to tell you that, do I?
Harry: Yes, I think I need a dream. Perhaps I'll come across something with all this travelling I'm doing now.
Maria: That young girl was so full of spirit and energy. I think I might be a bit jealous.
Harry: A shop selling unusual items that's only open at night?
Harry: They must have some interesting things in stock. We should definitely pay it a visit this evening!
Harry: What kind of things do you think they might have for sale?
Harry: We'd better go and find out this evening, Hero!
Harry: Ha ha hah! Just look at the envy in his eyes!
Harry: There's nothing better than having something no one else can have, is there?
Maria: His wife must love him very much to be so worried about him going out at night.
Harry: What!? ⓗMisterⓘ? I'm not a ⓗmisterⓘ yet, am I? I'm not that old, surely!
Maria: He's just a little boy. In his eyes, you probably are. But you shouldn't let a little boy's ideas worry you.
Harry: ⓗMisterⓘ...? ⓗMisterⓘ!? ⓗMisterⓘ?
Maria: Oh, Harry. Don't let it upset you.
Harry: ⓗNo passage without purchaseⓘ? It does look like a great short cut, though, doesn't it?
Harry: Hmm... ⓗCuriosity Shopⓘ? It does sound a bit fishy, doesn't it? Do you think we're really going to want to know what it sells?
Harry: What on earth could it be? ⓗThe only one of its kindⓘ...?
Maria: I've heard a rumour about this. People say it's some kind of decoration, something really extraordinary.
Harry: If the residents of Fortuna themselves think it's a weird shop, it must be really weird.
Harry: Well, if there's a place as lively as this, there must be somewhere else that's the opposite extreme.
Harry: I wonder what's happened to Coburg while I've been away. Mind you, I suppose it's nothing to do with me any more, is it?
Harry: ............ Harry: bites his lip and hangs his head.
Maria: Oh, Harry, don't feel bad.
Harry: There are certainly some really useful spells to be learnt, aren't there?
Harry: A castle town in the north-east? Well, it can't be Coburg. Coburg's a respectable place. There's certainly nothing scary about Coburg.
Harry: I'm afraid she's right. They'd be very wise to stay away from Coburg at the moment.
Harry: Right... I suppose we are old enough to drink now, aren't we?
Harry: I'll tell you something, I don't mind not being able to go back to that Zugzwang shrine. Talk about a living hell!
Maria: Family is a wonderful thing. You know, having people around you who'll always care for you. I, I wonder if I'll ever see Joshua again...
Harry: Don't worry, Maria, I'm sure your brother's fine.
Harry: What sort of lazy cowboy sleeps like that in the middle of the day?
Harry: Ah, it's the owner of the Old Curiosity Shop! I thought he was a rich businessman running the place for a bit of fun, but now I'm not so sure...
Harry: Time marches on? It certainly didn't feel like it during all those years of slavery.
Harry: But it's rather strange, you know. When I look back on it now, it does almost seem like it was over in a flash.
Harry: Well, anyone could have told you that, couldn't they? Fortune-teller or no fortune-teller.
Harry: D-Do you really think it's possible to befriend monsters?
Harry: It'd be absolutely incredible if it was. We need to try this out at once!
Harry: A bunny girl? Do you think Monty makes her wear that? As a uniform, I mean. Uurgh... I shudder to think!
Harry: It's hard to turn a blind eye when you see people confined in such tiny cells.
Harry: I mean, it's a bit of a shame, isn't it?
Harry: He used to kidnap people!? Y-You don't think he's one of the thugs who took me from the castle all those years ago, do you?
Harry: Unbelievable! And to think I almost felt sorry for the people in these cells! He can stay in here for life as far as I'm concerned.
Harry: Wow! So this is what a casino looks like! And look at that! There's even a stage where they put on acts.
Harry: All the lights are so dazzling, they're making my eyes go funny.
Harry: Do you get the feeling we stick out like a couple of sore thumbs here, Hero?
Harry: Yes, so do I. I mean, it's a far cry from a life of slavery, isn't it?
Harry: No? I suppose you're right. We're not slaves any more. It's our right to enjoy the casino if we want to!
Harry: Ready to have some fun?
Harry: Exactly! Ex-slaves like us have got nothing to lose, have we? Let's go nuts!
Harry: What? A lackey never disagrees with his master, understand?
Harry: Don't get the wrong idea, Maria. I'm not the one who brought you here. It was Hero.
Maria: It looks like a lot of fun. Why don't we enjoy ourselves for a while? Just don't lose track of time!
Harry: Leftover gold, he says? That sounds like a useful piece of advice from an old hand, if you ask me.
Harry: Lose! Lose! Go on, lose!
Maria: Oh, I hope he wins!
Harry: Phew! That's a bit scary, isn't it? Better not let anything like that happen to us.
Harry: It's the first time I've ever seen theatre performed. It's pretty good, isn't it?
Harry: Did you hear that, Hero? We've got to go for it, he said!
Harry: Only, we're a bit tied up with more important things at the moment. We'd better push on.
Harry: He could be right, but I can well imagine us running out of tokens before that happens!
Harry: I suppose that's one way of looking at things, but I don't intend on being laid out in the family crypt until I've done everything I possibly can.
Harry: It sounds like he enjoys watching people getting fired up over their bets. Not the most admirable of occupations.
Harry: Legends are legends, if you ask me. I sincerely doubt there's any such person as the legendary hero.
Harry: Then I'll put down a thousand G that says he doesn't! H-Hey! I was only joking! Don't look at me like that. You're scaring me.
Harry: Wow! Being so close to the performers gives the whole show an electric feel.
Maria: It's such a romantic play! Do... Do you think we're allowed up on the stage?
Harry: These people are fantastic! Maybe this could be my dream: to become an actor!
Harry: O Maria! ⓚⓛ How did it go again? ⓚⓛ Though you are blind, and cannot see, I will wear my heart to show how much I do love thee!
Maria: Stop it, Harry! You're embarrassing me!
Harry: I wouldn't dream of peeking, but I can't make any promises about Hero here, ladies! He's the one to watch out for!
Harry: So those actors travel around, do they? I don't imagine that makes for an easy life in these troubled times.
Harry: Ch-Changing!? I can't look! I'd never be able to forgive myself!
Harry: Behave yourself now, Hero! Remember that Maria's with us.
Harry: The slurpodrome's a great idea. It's fantastic if you just want to forget everything and relax.
Harry: It's true. Slimes don't think like us, that's why. In fact, they don't think at all. It's all just mush behind those big eyes of theirs, you know.
Maria: This little slime's so cute. There's not a nasty bone in its body. I mean... Well, you know what I mean.
Maria: It's a miracle! I don't think I've ever met a slime that could talk before.
Harry: This town never ceases to amaze, does it? There's Treasures and Trapdoors here as well as a casino!
Harry: We're in danger of forgetting what we're travelling for. And how long we've spent here.
Harry: Wouldn't it be great if you could roll the exact number you wanted every time?
Harry: Argh! I hate being laughed at! Come on, Hero. We've got to have another bash.
Harry: I wouldn't mind having as much time on my hands as he seems to have.
Harry: Phew! What a lively place! Just looking at everyone running around makes me dizzy.
Harry: I know the state of Whealbrook's come as a bit of a shock to you. It has to me too, as it happens.
Harry: But now we're here, we should make the most of it and have some fun, don't you think?
Maria: What a vibrant town! Busy places can be so uplifting. But we mustn't let ourselves be distracted now.
Harry: Absolutely! We must stay focused, Hero. No slipping off to have fun!
Harry: This place is almost as bright at night as it is during the day! I love all this glitz!
Harry: Did you hear that? He won big! Come on! There's more where that came from! It's our turn to hit the casino now!
Harry: But no! We can't, can we? We have things to do. The casino's going to have to wait until next time.
Harry: Do you think he's talking about the Order of Zugzwang?
Harry: I'm afraid to say I think the fellow's going to be disappointed.
Maria: My brother heard the rumours too. And believed them. That's why he joined the order. If only he hadn't, maybe he'd be...
Harry: Don't worry, Maria, I'm sure your brother's fine.
Harry: ⓗA woman who is very close to youⓘ...? Do you think she means your mother?
Harry: I'm not a big fan of fortune-telling, to be honest. But I hope she's right, anyway.
Harry: My stepmother really believed in fortune-telling. I tell you, it was a bit scary.
Harry: So that's why I never listen to all that rubbish, you see.
Harry: So if we did away with the smug brat, we'd acquire twenty mini medals, then?
Harry: I'm only joking! But don't tell me the thought didn't cross your mind too.
Harry: He seems like a bit of a bruiser, but he's just a softie at heart, worrying about his wife like that.
Harry: He's right. There's nothing like a hot bath after a hard day's work.
Harry: She scared the life out of me, screaming like that! I mean, er... It was um...very loud. I wasn't scared. Ha!
Maria: ............
Harry: She's right to be worried, I think. There are more monsters about between towns these days, and they seem a lot stronger now too.
Maria: It's awful. We shouldn't have to live in a world where children can't even play safely.
Harry: What are you smiling about? She was talking to me, you know.
Harry: He's not far wrong there, is he?
Harry: But it's not us he should be feeling sorry for. What about all the poor slaves still being made to work at the shrine?
Maria: I think all food's delicious, no matter what it is.
Maria: You can taste the loving care of whoever grew the crops or reared the livestock, and of the chef who prepared it all too.
Harry: It sounds like he really doesn't dare argue with his wife about it, doesn't it?
Harry: I couldn't stand that. I just hope I don't end up like that if I get married one day.
Maria: He should realise that his wife's just worried about him because she loves him.
Maria: It's only natural to worry about the people you love.
Harry: I'm sure it is. But I don't even remember what my mother looked like. She died when I was so young.
Harry: And my father was so busy he didn't have any time for me. It didn't really feel much like a family to me.
Harry: Maybe if I were to get married, I could change all that and build my own family.
Maria: Yes, I don't know how I would have managed without my brother. And even though we're apart now, he's still always in my heart.
Harry: The people here have a great time of it, don't they?
Harry: So this is Mystic Mridula's house?
Harry: I was expecting more dodgy-looking herbs and weird animals, to be honest.
Harry: Isn't she amazing? She knows her little speech so well, she can say it in her sleep!
Harry: Sounds like he's in trouble there!
Harry: Are you off your rocker, Hero? It's a wagon! Where else are we going to be able to pick one of them up? And when?
Harry: Wow! I never even dreamed of being able to buy a wagon for that kind of money. It's unbelievable!
Harry: This is awful! That's the most unbelievable price for a wagon I've ever heard, and we still can't afford it!
Harry: Who's been wasting all our gold, hm? It, it wasn't me.
Harry: That was dead lucky, wasn't it, buying a wagon so cheaply? A gift from the Goddess for everything we've had to suffer up to now.
Harry: He must just be a rich businessman having a bit of fun selling odd items, don't you think?
Harry: Wow! So this is what a casino looks like! And look at that! There's even a stage where they put on acts.
Harry: All the lights are so dazzling, they're making my eyes go funny.
Harry: Do you get the feeling we stick out like a couple of sore thumbs here, Hero?
Harry: Yes, so do I. I mean, it's a far cry from a life of slavery, isn't it?
Harry: No? I suppose you're right. We're not slaves any more. It's our right to enjoy the casino if we want to!
Harry: Ready to have some fun?
Harry: Exactly! Ex-slaves like us have got nothing to lose, have we? Let's go nuts!
Harry: What? A lackey never disagrees with his master, understand?
Harry: Don't get the wrong idea, Maria. I'm not the one who brought you here. It was Hero.
Maria: It looks like a lot of fun. Why don't we enjoy ourselves for a while? Just don't lose track of time!
Harry: Right then, what shall we do? The slots, the slurpodrome, the monster arena... Let's try everything!
Harry: I know, I know. We're on a quest and all that. There's no time for having fun at the casino.
Harry: Leftover gold, he says? That sounds like a useful piece of advice from an old hand, if you ask me.
Harry: Lose, lose, lose!
Harry: Oops! I'd better not look like I want him to lose, actually. Maria: might see me and think I'm really nasty.
Maria: I hope he wins. Then he'll be happy, and it's always nice when people are happy.
Harry: Hmm... That's a valuable lesson to learn. You can win big on the hundred-token machine, but you can lose big too.
Harry: It sounds like it isn't all glitz and glamour for actors, then. They have to work hard to realise their dreams too.
Harry: It sounds like he enjoys watching people getting fired up over their bets. Not the most admirable of occupations.
Harry: Legends are legends, if you ask me. I sincerely doubt there's any such person as the legendary hero.
Harry: Then I'll put down a thousand G that says he doesn't! H-Hey! I was only joking! Don't look at me like that. You're scaring me.
Harry: They put dancers on stage at night, look. They really go the whole hog here, don't they?
Maria: I don't know what it is about that song, but I really like it. It's so catchy.
Harry: Classy isn't the word! Just look at the way she moves! She's amazing!
Maria: Harry!
Maria: I... Oh no. I can't dance. Come on, Hero. Let's get off the stage before I make a fool of myself!
Harry: Dance if you feel like dancing, Hero. I think I'll just sit it out if you don't mind.
Harry: Ha ha ha hah! Not bad, Hero. You're not bad!
Maria: Actually, you know...this is really good fun!
Harry: I had no idea there was a castle like that around here. The world's really not a safe place any more, is it?
Harry: What a run-down-looking village!
Harry: No! This is where you used to live!? But it's so different to how you said.
Harry: Being in this place makes me feel more than a smidgen uneasy.
Harry: It reminds me what a thoughtless fool I was back in my younger years.
Harry: ............ Harry seems to be deep in thought.
Maria: Oh dear! This village is in a terrible way! ...Oh! This is your village, Hero?
Maria: I see. So that's why Harry looks so down in the dumps.
Maria: But there's no need for you to feel bad, Harry. You're not the one who did this.
Harry: Oh, Maria...
Harry: I'll look for it too! I'll do whatever I can to help you, Hero!
Harry: What pretty blossoms!
Harry: So the soldiers of Coburg burnt this place to the ground?
Harry: And people think it's your father's fault I went missing?
Harry: I'm so sorry, Hero. I had no idea that it would come to this.
Harry: What in the world has happened to Coburg!? How could they ever do something so cruel!?
Harry: ............ Harry is hanging his head low and chewing his lip.
Harry: So the soldiers of Coburg burnt this place to the ground?
Harry: And people think it's your father's fault I went missing?
Harry: I'm so sorry, Hero. I had no idea that it would come to this.
Harry: I have the image of your father burnt in my mind's eye.
Harry: You absolutely have to find your mother, Hero!
Harry: The soldiers who came here were funny-looking? I wonder what he meant by that.
Harry: I'm going to do something about Coburg, you mark my words!
Harry: Everywhere seems comfortable after that awful place we had to sleep in back at the temple.
Harry: ............ Harry looks like he's feeling ashamed.
Harry: What a run-down-looking village!
Harry: No! This is where you used to live!? But it's so different to how you said.
Harry: Oh! I'm terrible with stories like this! Huh! I feel all tearful now!
Harry: You don't think it was the soldiers from Coburg, do you? That poor child's parents...
Maria: Oh, Harry:, don't feel bad. Harry looks like he's struggling not to cry.
Harry: It's strange that even someone as strong as your father couldn't equip that sword.
Harry: I suppose this legendary hero must have some special quality that enables him to use it like no other can.
Maria: My brother and I could sense that you and Harry had some kind of special destiny, Hero.
Maria: And now here I am travelling around with you both! It's quite a strange feeling.
Harry: Bianca's that friend of yours you had when you were little, isn't she? I hope she's well.
Harry: Even if the hero is dead, it's possible he might have had a grandchild. We should start by looking for this legendary equipment first.
Harry: So you used to come here when you were young, did you, Hero?
Harry: I suppose it's not a bad sort of place to practise your adventuring, what with the monsters around here not being all that strong.
Harry: I can't help feeling that it's my fault your village is in such a sorry state. Don't you agree?
Harry: Well, if there's anything at all I can do to make amends, you must say so, Hero.
Harry: I know you're just saying that to make me feel better, but thank you.
Harry: We don't really have any reason to be here, do we, Hero? Perhaps we should try to focus a bit more on the task at hand.
Maria: I'm afraid I'm not very good in caves. For some reason, I can't help being reminded of that awful temple.
Harry: This is an interesting-looking sword. You should check that treasure chest while we're here too, Hero.
Harry: So this is the Zenithian Sword. It's incredible how shiny the blade is even though it's so ancient. It must have amazing powers.
Harry: It's a shame that only the legendary hero can use the Zenithian Sword.
Harry: You know, I did wonder for a while if you might be him, but it looks like I was wrong.
Harry: A dark world called Nadiria, the Zenithian Sword, the legendary hero... It's all a bit far-fetched, don't you think?
Harry: Still, now that we've read it, I suppose we've no choice but to search for the rest of the Zenithian Equipment and the hero to boot!
Harry: We should at least take the Zenithian Sword with us, don't you think?
Harry: It's funny how your father left that letter here, isn't it?
Harry: Maybe he somehow knew that something bad was going to happen to him.
Harry: And yet he still carried on with his travels regardless.
Harry: We've found what we were looking for, anyway. We should head back to the village.
Maria: Don't think I don't appreciate you showing me around all these different places and everything.
Maria: It's just... I think we should prioritise trying to help all those poor people who are suffering.
Harry: Absolutely! We must stay focused, Hero. No slipping off to have fun!
Harry: So this is where that childhood friend of yours is from. At least this place hasn't been burnt to the ground.
Harry: I wonder how that friend of yours, Bianca, is getting along. Let's go and find her.
Harry: ............ Harry: seems to be deep in thought.
Harry: Now I've heard what I've heard, I don't really have any choice but to go back to the castle and find out what's going on.
Harry: ............ Harry: is hanging his head low in silence.
Harry: No matter where we go, we never hear a good word said about Coburg.
Harry: Make sure you keep that Zenithian Sword hidden, won't you, Hero? That probably counts as a legendary weapon.
Harry: I hadn't realised the full extent of things up to now.
Harry: But I'm starting to see that our world's in quite a perilous state.
Harry: Oh, that's a shame, Hero.
Harry: I was looking forward to seeing your face when you met her again after all these years.
Harry: I suppose it is quite romantic, the idea of searching for someone. It just doesn't feel that way when you're the one doing it.
Harry: I wonder if all mothers feel like that.
Harry: Don't know why I'm asking you, mind. Neither of us would have a clue when it comes to answering that question.
Harry: So this is Bianca's house? It's not a bad-looking place.
Harry: I wonder where she is.
Harry: Oh. So Bianca's not here any more.
Harry: Ha! So this is the famous Zizzwizz Pillow! It smells fantastic.
Harry: Seven years ago? That's quite a while back now.
Harry: Don't be too disappointed, Hero! I'm sure you'll run into her again somewhere.
Harry: Ha! So this is the famous Zizzwizz Pillow! It smells fantastic.
Harry: That bunny girl's certainly, um...a bit old, isn't she?
Harry: No! She looked the same all that time ago? ...That's ten years!
Harry: What are you playing at? We don't have time to mess around. We need to ask about the legendary hero.
Harry: First there was all the talk about the legendary hero, and now we have this ⓗEsⓘ something or other to think about too.
Harry: It's too much!
Maria: Don't think I don't appreciate you showing me around all these different places and everything.
Maria: It's just... I think we should prioritise trying to help all those poor people who are suffering.
Harry: Absolutely! We must stay focused, Hero. No slipping off to have fun!
Harry: So this is where that childhood friend of yours is from. At least this place hasn't been burnt to the ground.
Harry: I wonder how that friend of yours, Bianca, is getting along. Let's go and find her.
Harry: Wilbur was always much cleverer than me. I thought he'd make a good king.
Harry: If anyone has a way of communicating with monsters, I'd say it's you, Hero.
Harry: And Monty the monster monitor is another one who seems to get on with the things.
Harry: Hey! Maybe the old man is part of the clan who guard the seal! ...Actually, no. He hardly looks the part.
Harry: We don't have anyone who'd say that kind of thing about us.
Harry: When I get married and have children of my own, I'm going to spoil them something rotten!
Harry: We should stay here the night too.
Harry: I have a few things I need to think about.
Harry: Um, Hero. Like I said last night, I'm quite concerned about the situation over in Coburg.
Harry: I know it'll be a bit of a detour for us, but do you mind if we go and see what's going on?
Harry: That bunny girl's certainly, um...a bit old, isn't she?
Harry: No! She looked the same all that time ago? ...That's ten years!
Harry: What are you playing at? We don't have time to mess around. We need to ask about the legendary hero.
Harry: First there was all the talk about the legendary hero, and now we have this ⓗEsⓘ something or other to think about too.
Harry: It's too much!
Harry: Just because you have a legendary weapon, it doesn't mean you can equip it. More's the pity.
Harry: He's not the only one who's disappointed. I wonder where they are now and what they're doing.
Harry: So this is the castle you came to all those years ago on your big ghost-hunt?
Harry: You must've been quite a brave young thing, coming here in the middle of the night when you were just a child!
Maria: I had no idea there was a castle all the way out here.
Harry: (cough cough) It looks smart enough from the outside, but it's a real dust trap on the inside!
Harry: Why have we come here, Hero? I certainly can't think of any good reason.
Harry: Unless! Are you taking us on a trip down memory lane with you, by any chance?
Harry: Hey! Did you see that!? I wonder if it was a ghost. Let's go and see!
Harry: There was I hoping I'd seen a ghost, when it was nothing more than a runaway couple! I didn't expect to find them here.
Maria: Aaah, forbidden love across the class boundaries... At least they were lucky enough to find this place to live in together.
Harry: It's good that the two of them didn't go through with the dying idea. Once you're dead, you're dead. There's no changing your mind then.
Maria: They both seem so happy. Seeing people like that makes me feel happy too.
Harry: What a strange count he must've been to have put his graveyard up on the castle roof!
Harry: The people in these graves asked you to defeat the ghosts? That all sounds a bit far-fetched!
Harry: That man doesn't seem to have much of a shadow. M-Maybe I'm just imagining it, though. Ha ha!
Harry: The only way to reach any of the other continents from here is by boat.
Maria: I feel so unsettled when I look at the ocean. On the other side of it is my brother and all those poor people trapped as slaves.
Harry: Don't worry, Maria, I'm sure your brother's fine.
Harry: ............ Harry: appears to be deep in thought.
Harry: I find it hard to imagine Wilbur giving out such strict orders. He was never the most strong-minded of chaps.
Harry: All of this will change when we oust that impostor.
Harry: ............ Harry: is hanging his head low in silence.
Harry: Permission!? I didn't need anything of the sort when I was a child!
Harry: I know you want to go, Hero. But I'm afraid Coburg holds no attraction for me whatsoever any more.
Harry: That's Frank. He used to just be a lowly servant. And yet look at him now, a soldier and everything!
Harry: His one weakness is large frogs. He's so scared of them! I used to have a lot of fun planting them about the place to give him a fright!
Harry: That's Coburg just across the river. The wind smells just the same as it used to in the old days.
Harry: Heavy-handed laws? I wonder what he means. We'll have to find out what's going on.
Harry: I didn't imagine I'd be setting foot in this place again. And yet here I am!
Harry: Things seem to have changed an awful lot. The place looks really run-down.
Maria: To think that you were prince of such a grand-looking castle, Harry!
Maria: Now I feel all ashamed. Have I been disrespectful, speaking to you in such a familiar way?
Harry: Don't be ridiculous! It makes me feel sad hearing you say things like that.
Harry: Surely we can't be in danger just for coming near the castle!? Whatever has become of this place?
Harry: There were plenty of times when we went without food for three days back when we were slaves, eh, Hero?
Maria: I heard a few nasty rumours about Coburg back at the abbey, but I had no idea things were this bad.
Harry: That was a bit mean, Hero. Surely you could afford to give her a few coins?
Maria: If I had any money, I'd give as much as I could to these poor folk here.
Harry: ............ Harry is biting his lip in thought.
Maria: Goddess, please have mercy on these poor suffering souls.
Harry: I cried with hunger in those first awful days of becoming a slave. There's nothing worse than being without food.
Maria: That poor boy. He looks so weak and thin...
Harry: A monster in the castle courtyard of all places! I thought it was a dog, and it took me totally off-guard!
Maria: Are you alright?
Maria: There's no need to worry about me. Luckily, you were there to protect me.
Harry: Why are my people having to suffer just so soldiers from foreign lands can be enlisted?
Harry: It doesn't make sense! Whoever's responsible for this will have me to answer to!
Maria: It's just like in the Order of Zugzwang. Why is it always those that are weak who are made to suffer?
Harry: We should still keep my true identity a secret, okay, Hero?
Harry: I didn't often use that passage, so I can't remember exactly where it is.
Harry: I can't help feeling that it was always quite tricky to see in the daytime.
Harry: A castle fell from the sky!? I didn't even know there was a castle up there in the first place. It's all a bit odd if you ask me.
Maria: I've heard something like that before myself.
Maria: Maybe the Goddess did it. Maybe she made the castle fall and the monsters attack humans again as a way of testing us.
Harry: What's all this about the Queen Dowager? Shouldn't it be Wilbur who has the authority around here!?
Harry: ⓗRules the worldⓘ!? Whatever does the old bag think she's up to?
Harry: Ugh. This place has really gone to the dogs with people like him around.
Harry: What's a monster like him doing inside the castle!? Am I seeing things!? Why doesn't anyone else seem surprised!?
Maria: Dearie me. What scary-looking folk they are. I wonder how this castle ended up in such a state.
Harry: He's right about those soldiers being an unsavoury-looking bunch.
Harry: I was starting to worry that all the soldiers here had gone mad. It's nice to see one with his head still screwed on.
Harry: It's been bad here for a long time, ever since the soldiers were sent to destroy Whealbrook.
Harry: Curse it all!
Harry: Darwin? I've never heard of him before. I wonder who asked him to come to the castle...and why.
Harry: That all sounds rather complicated. I'm not very good when it comes to that kind of thing.
Maria: A secret unlocking the mysteries of evolution? It all sounds a bit scary for my liking.
Maria: I'd say it's more likely to be the hand of evil than the hand of the Goddess.
Harry: I think it was around here somewhere.
Harry: Ah! A switch! Nice work, Hero!
Harry: This passage was made so that it could be used as a means of escape in case of some kind of emergency.
Harry: I never imagined I'd be using it to sneak inside my own castle! Of all the ironies!
Harry: I only caught a quick glimpse, but there seemed to be a rather well-to-do lady in one of the cells. Surely not...
Harry: Now I'm starting to remember. I think you can get to the jail cells from here.
Harry: So she's the one behind all this? I didn't want to believe it because she is Wilbur's mother, after all. But now...
Harry: The Goddess won't need to punish her, because I'm going to see to it that she pays for what she's done right now!
Harry: Was that the real dowager, do you suppose, or the fake one? Now I'm really confused!
Maria: What a terrible place to die...
Maria: May all these poor souls find their way from these dark depths to the eternal comfort of the Goddess on high!
Harry: I don't understand! That's definitely the Dowager...my stepmother. No question about it.
Harry: So whatever is she doing stuck in a jail cell when she should be luxuriating away upstairs in the castle proper?
Harry: So there are two dowagers!? Who is the other one? And is she planning on taking over my kingdom?
Harry: At least this means Wilbur isn't the one at fault. That's something of a relief.
Harry: Pah! I won't allow that fake dowager to send Coburg further into ruin!
Harry: Just as we thought. That dowager must be fake. That would explain everything the old lady said.
Harry: The problem is, how do we prove it?
Harry: I'm going to do everything in my power to put this kingdom right, Hero! Everything in my power!
Maria: I can't believe a person could be executed just for not paying their taxes. Oh, Goddess have mercy!
Harry: Hmph. That chancellor fellow is here. Not that we need to take any notice of that worthless creature, I suppose.
Harry: A story about a mysterious mirror? Yes, I seem to remember something like that. But how does that help us?
Harry: The castle vault... That's not far from the place I was snatched all those years ago. Brrr! The thought of it sends shivers down my spine!
Harry: I've never heard anything so ridiculous. Can you imagine what it would be like if a selfish man like me were king?
Harry: If anyone around here is cut out for the monarchy, I'd say it's you, Hero. Don't let that go to your head though, eh.
Maria: He's right, Harry. You really are brave.
Maria: I'll never forget that day you stood up to the guard even though he had a whip in his hand. You were incredible.
Harry: What a tiresome little man. I don't blame Wilbur for feeling so uninspired with a man like that as chancellor.
Harry: Curses! I was hoping we'd be able to expose that fake dowager once and for all!
Harry: But meeting with her alone isn't enough. We need some way of proving it.
Harry: Curses! I was hoping we'd be able to expose that fake dowager once and for all!
Harry: But meeting with her alone isn't enough. We need some way of proving it.
Harry: This must be the book Wilbur was talking about.
Harry: A mirror ⓗwith the power to show the truthⓘ... Interesting. We'd better go and have a look at that tower, then!
Harry: It's funny to think of a teleportal inside the castle somewhere. I wonder who made it.
Harry: Shouldn't we be heading over to that tower with the mysterious mirror, Hero?
Maria: Erm, it's not really my business, but what are we doing here? Weren't we supposed to be going to the tower?
Harry: We'll have to come back during the daytime if we want to get inside the castle. We should rest for now.
Harry: This place feels even more desolate at night. It's like walking through a graveyard.
Harry: I'm going to sort this mess out, you mark my words!
Maria: Shouldn't the rulers of a kingdom be there to make their people happy? That's what I always thought.
Harry: I didn't realise that my father was trying to pass the crown on to me before he died.
Harry: I do remember there being a strained atmosphere in the castle at the time. I suppose that was why.
Maria: If only you'd become king, Harry. Then none of this would have happened.
Harry: There are certainly plenty of books here, so it's quite possible he'll find what he's looking for.
Harry: I wonder what the curiosity he's heard about might be. I never heard of anything like that.

Harry: That trader must've been talking about the book that mentions the mysterious mirror. It certainly is a curiosity, that's for sure.
Harry: She's not the only one who got out while she could. This place feels like it's half empty nowadays.
Harry: That must be a teleportal. They're curious things that allow you to travel quickly between two far away places.
Harry: It reminds me of something I read once in an old book about travelling through a teleportal from the castle to another land.
Harry: Sorry! Listen to me waffling away!
Maria: I had no idea such a place existed so close to the abbey.
Harry: We should get going now that we have Ra's mirror.
Harry: The people of Coburg mustn't be left to suffer a moment longer!
Maria: Fancy being able to travel all the way to Coburg in an instant!
Maria: This teleportal is so convenient...and so bizarre! Maybe it's the work of the Goddess.
Harry: If he won't let us pass, then I suppose there's nothing we can do. Let's move on, Hero!
Harry: So we're not allowed to pass at night. Oh well. We'll have to come back another time.
Maria: That old man must be a bit lonely, stuck out here all on his own.
Maria: If only he'd drop in at the abbey, there'd be plenty of people there he could have a chat with.
Harry: It's nice to have a place where we're made to feel so welcome, don't you think, Hero?
Harry: Sorry, Hero. We're supposed to be looking for your mother, and yet I've gone and distracted you with this instead.
Harry: I never imagined we'd end up going to the tower with Maria.
Harry: I suppose nuns are basically the same as monks really. Maybe we should ask them about the tower.
Maria: I suppose that's my part in this done with. But I'd like to stay with you until you find what you came for, if that's alright.
Harry: Of course. You've been a great help to us, Maria:. We'd be honoured to have you. Right, Hero?
Harry: It's hard to imagine either of us as good husbands when you think we were both slaves until just recently!
Harry: But we know what it feels like to be miserable because of someone else's violence, so at least we'll never be like her brute of a husband.
Maria: I think she's right. You would make a good husband, Hero.
Maria: ...Oh! And so would you, Harry! I didn't mean to leave you out.
Harry: I say! There's no need to make a special effort to compliment me, you know!
Maria: I had a small statue of the Goddess carved for me a little while back.
Maria: It made me feel so at peace to hold it in my hands and see Her smiling at me.
Maria: I'm rather good at cooking and sewing myself, because I had to do it for Joshua and I from a young age.
Harry: I wonder why Maria seems so lonely. Maybe it's because I'm not around.
Harry: Er, no, I'm sure that's not it. If only it was, though...
Harry: The girl's right. We mustn't let Maria come to any harm, do you hear, Hero?
Maria: That little girl really seems to think of me as her big sister.
Maria: It's nice to have a little sister out of nowhere. I only ever had a brother before.
Harry: It's wonderful to see Maria again. I do feel a bit jealous that she said your name before mine, though.
Harry: I suppose nuns are basically the same as monks really. Maybe we should ask them about the tower.
Harry: It's lovely to have you travelling with us again, Maria.
Maria: Thank you, Harry. I'm really happy to be with you again too.
Maria: You do both seem a little bit different to before, though.
Maria: It's almost like you have a shadow cast over you.
Harry: I'm going to stand by you, Maria! I'll protect you with my life, now and forever!
Maria: Sorry? What was that you just said, Harry?
Harry: Er... Ha, ha. Don't worry. It was nothing important.
Harry: Well, we have Maria with us now, so I suppose we should get along to that tower.
Maria: I wonder what the Abbess meant by ⓗthose who are too proud to believe in things they cannot seeⓘ.
Maria: I know I volunteered myself for this, but I'm starting to worry that I might not be worthy.
Harry: As long as I have a bed to sleep in, I'm happy. We've got another long day ahead of us, Hero!
Harry: I feel much better after that rest. Thanks, Hero.
Harry: To tell you the truth, I'm still not quite used to sleeping in a bed again. I suppose it's because I was a slave for such a long time.
Harry: You don't need to worry about me, Hero. Let's move on.
Maria: I wonder what sort of man she had in mind, that girl who went through all the domestic goddess training.
Maria: The poor child definitely feels lonely at times.
Maria: She may seem strong on the outside, but she must miss her father terribly.
Harry: It's wonderful to see Maria again. I do feel a bit jealous that she said your name before mine, though.
Harry: I suppose nuns are basically the same as monks really. Maybe we should ask them about the tower.
Harry: It's lovely to have you travelling with us again, Maria.
Maria: Thank you, Harry. I'm really happy to be with you again too.
Maria: You do both seem a little bit different to before, though.
Maria: It's almost like you have a shadow cast over you.
Harry: I'm going to stand by you, Maria! I'll protect you with my life, now and forever!
Maria: Sorry? What was that you just said, Harry?
Harry: Er... Ha, ha. Don't worry. It was nothing important.
Harry: Well, we have Maria with us now, so I suppose we should get along to that tower.
Maria: I wonder what the Abbess meant by ⓗthose who are too proud to believe in things they cannot seeⓘ.
Maria: I know I volunteered myself for this, but I'm starting to worry that I might not be worthy.
Harry: As long as I have a bed to sleep in, I'm happy. We've got another long day ahead of us, Hero!
Harry: I feel much better after that rest. Thanks, Hero.
Harry: To tell you the truth, I'm still not quite used to sleeping in a bed again. I suppose it's because I was a slave for such a long time.
Harry: You don't need to worry about me, Hero. Let's move on.
Harry: It's finally time for Coburg to come out of the clouds and back into the sunshine! Let's go and find Wilbur!
Maria: It's funny to think that Harry is actually a prince of such an enormous castle.
Maria: In the normal run of things, there's no way someone as lowly as I would ever have had the chance to befriend him.
Harry: The place looks so different. But it all ends here! All we have to do is oust that fake dowager!
Harry: There's nothing anyone can do to stop us now! Let's go, Hero!
Harry: There were plenty of times when we went without food for three days back when we were slaves, eh, Hero?
Maria: I heard a few nasty rumours about Coburg back at the abbey, but I had no idea things were this bad.
Harry: That was a bit mean, Hero. Surely you could afford to give her a few coins?
Maria: If I had any money, I'd give as much as I could to these poor folk here.
Harry: ............ Harry is biting his lip in thought.
Maria: Goddess, please have mercy on these poor suffering souls.
Harry: I cried with hunger in those first awful days of becoming a slave. There's nothing worse than being without food.
Maria: That poor boy. He looks so weak and thin...
Harry: A monster in the castle courtyard of all places! I thought it was a dog, and it took me totally off-guard!
Maria: Are you alright?
Maria: There's no need to worry about me. Luckily, you were there to protect me.
Harry: It won't be long before this dark period comes to an end.
Harry: The light of truth that shines forth from this mirror will be all that Coburg needs to banish the darkness!
Maria: It's time to help those poor, suffering people at last.
Harry: A castle fell from the sky!? I didn't even know there was a castle up there in the first place. It's all a bit odd if you ask me.
Maria: I've heard something like that before myself.
Maria: Maybe the Goddess did it. Maybe she made the castle fall and the monsters attack humans again as a way of testing us.
Harry: Curses! We don't have time for this! We'll have to find another way.
Harry: Hey! Now's not the time for detours! Stay focused!
Harry: Urgh! The thought of someone like that ruling over Coburg...and the world!
Maria: If there's a war, lots of people will end up losing their lives. We have to stop it from coming to that!
Harry: They won't be looking so pleased with themselves when I'm finished here!
Harry: So the fake dowager is actually a monster? How did a monster get in here unnoticed?
Harry: He's right about those soldiers being an unsavoury-looking bunch.
Harry: I was starting to worry that all the soldiers here had gone mad. It's nice to see one with his head still screwed on.
Harry: The fake dowager must have already been in place at the time Whealbrook was attacked.
Harry: There's no way a human would order an innocent village to be destroyed like that.
Harry: Darwin? I don't remember hearing that name before. I wonder if the fake dowager summoned him here.
Harry: Maybe the fake dowager was trying to research a way of evolving into a stronger being.
Maria: A secret unlocking the mysteries of evolution? It all sounds a bit scary for my liking.
Maria: I'd say it's more likely to be the hand of evil than the hand of the Goddess.
Harry: This passage was made so that it could be used as a means of escape in case of some kind of emergency.
Harry: I never imagined I'd be using it to sneak inside my own castle! Of all the ironies!
Harry: I doubt there's much use in explaining that it was all the fake dowager's doing.
Harry: We just have to reveal her true identity and put an end to all this. Then we can rescue the old man.
Maria: That poor man, being stuck down here in the dark all those years.
Maria: What a terrible place to die...
Maria: May all these poor souls find their way from these dark depths to the eternal comfort of the Goddess on high!
Harry: When they talk about having someone's head on a platter around here, they probably mean it literally!
Harry: That's because the fake dowager came along. It stands to reason that she's going to change because she's a different person entirely!
Harry: It sounds like Wilbur's been down to the jail and freed the real dowager.
Harry: Let's go and find Wilbur. Hurry, Hero!
Harry: Huh! If only he hadn't gone and meddled in all this.
Harry: He always was a bit slow-witted.
Maria: Oh dear. What a pickle! At least we have the mirror to help us figure all this out.
Harry: He realises this is silly. I just wish he was a bit more together. He is King, after all.
Maria: So that's Harry's brother, King of Coburg? They're not very alike.
Harry: Hmm. I'm not so sure she's the real thing. Look at how grubby she is!
Harry: The Queen Dowager I knew was nowhere near as gentle and warm, either.
Maria: We should use the mirror!
Harry: Ah yes. I remember that shrill voice well from my childhood years. Maybe this is the real one.
Maria: We should use the mirror!
Harry: Now's not the time to keep quiet and lay low! We'll show that monster who's boss this time, Hero!
Harry: This must've all been a big shock for Wilbur. The kingdom was on the brink of disaster.
Harry: Come on, Hero! I need your help!
Harry: It's finally time for Coburg to come out of the clouds and back into the sunshine! Let's go and find Wilbur!
Maria: It's funny to think that Harry is actually a prince of such an enormous castle.
Maria: In the normal run of things, there's no way someone as lowly as I would ever have had the chance to befriend him.
Harry: This place feels even more desolate at night. It's like walking through a graveyard.
Maria: The entrance to the castle is closed at night. We should come back in the morning.
Harry: All the people here need is a little more patience. We'll sort things out for them before long.
Maria: Shouldn't the rulers of a kingdom be there to make their people happy? That's what I always thought.
Harry: I didn't realise that my father was trying to pass the crown on to me before he died.
Harry: I do remember there being a strained atmosphere in the castle at the time. I suppose that was why.
Maria: If only you'd become king, Harry. Then none of this would have happened.
Harry: That trader must've been talking about the book that mentions the mysterious mirror. It certainly is a curiosity, that's for sure.
Harry: She's not the only one who got out while she could. This place feels like it's half empty nowadays.
Harry: This is where your father was killed by that no-good Ladja.
Harry: I'll never forget the way he put up no resistance and endured all that to keep you safe.
Harry: It feels just like yesterday that you came here and tried to rescue me.
Harry: Who would have thought then that we'd end up being friends all this time?
Harry: I wonder if he's talking about the temple when he mentions a holy land. Pah! That place is more like hell!
Harry: It looks like the bandits aren't using this place as a hideout any more.
Harry: You don't think these are the kidnappers, do you? What in the world happened here?
Harry: It's been many a long year since we had the chance to enjoy so much outside air.
Harry: It's funny. I used to take little things like that for granted, but now they seem so important.
Harry: It's all very well deciding to go off and find your mother, but where do we start?
Harry: I suppose that town to the north is as good a place as any.
Harry: I still can't believe how we managed to travel so far in a barrel, of all things!
Harry: We must be the luckiest people alive!
Harry: That Fortuna place was certainly lively, wasn't it?
Harry: Can you imagine if Coburg or your village were that well off? Wow!
Harry: Ha ha! I was a bit worried the price might reflect the quality, but this isn't a bad horse and cart!
Harry: Now we can bring as many people as we like along on our travels.
Harry: The Coburg checkpoint never used to be so imposing.
Harry: It's so awful what happened to your village, Hero. I...I...don't know what to say.
Harry: It sounds like Coburg has changed beyond recognition since I've been away.
Harry: I have to get to the bottom of what's going on. Let's go to the castle!
Harry: I had planned to forget any ties I ever had to Coburg. But it looks like it's not going to be that easy.
Maria: Off we go. The tower is just south of the abbey.
Harry: We must have some special connection with Maria. That's why we've found ourselves travelling with her again.
Harry: As long as we make sure she doesn't come to any harm. That's the main thing.
Harry: I'm obviously worried about what's happening over in Coburg, but I think it's for the best if I stay away.
Harry: I'm just going to forget about the place. I'll keep travelling with you until I figure out my own way in the world.
Harry: Lovely weather we've been having, don't you think? The grass smells wonderful.
Harry: There's nothing better than being free to walk around outdoors whenever the fancy takes you.
Harry: Come to think of it, I hardly ever set foot outside Coburg Castle back in those days. What a waste!
Harry: Aaah, I'm absolutely exhausted! One good thing I can say for being a slave was that we at least had a regular routine!
Harry: You know, I think this might be the first time in my life that I've ever been out walking at night-time!
Harry: The stars are absolutely beautiful. We never had the chance to really look at them back when we were slaves.
Harry: It's getting dark already. But we have to keep pushing on. Come on, Hero!
Harry: My father didn't have much time left when it all happened.
Harry: I wish I could meet him again, just once. I suppose there's no use in wishing, though.
Harry: I wonder if this mirror that reveals the truth is even still hidden in the tower. That diary was really ancient, let's face it.
Harry: The folk inside were certainly a weird bunch.
Harry: But it was still nice to be back in the castle again. I sort of miss the place. It was once my home, after all.
Maria: I do hope I'll be able to help you out, Hero.
Harry: I wonder if it really does have the powers we think it has. It looks just like an old mirror from where I'm standing.
Harry: We'd better hurry on back to Coburg. It's starting to give me the willies being out here.
Maria: I'm so glad I could come along with you both, Hero. It's cheered me up no end.
Harry: There's no point just standing here if the doors won't open. Let's try going somewhere else, Hero.
Harry: Hmph. Looks like the key from Coburg isn't any use here.
Harry: It said something in that diary about some monks having the key. I wonder where we can find them.
Maria: I'm so happy that I could be of use to you. What a relief!
Harry: I knew Maria would be able to get those doors open! I always believed in her!
Harry: Let's go and get it! But we should tread carefully. We have Maria to think of, after all.
Harry: What are we waiting for? There's no point in hanging around here any longer, let's hurry back to Coburg!
Harry: Did you see that, Hero?
Harry: Me too. I wouldn't forget that man in a hurry. Does that mean the woman was...?
Harry: No? Oh... I must have been imagining things.
Harry: This tower looks really ancient. I had no idea it was here, in amongst all these mountains.
Harry: This must be the tower we read about in that diary! So this is where the mirror's supposed to be.
Maria: ............ Maria looks a bit nervous.
Harry: It's old, but it's certainly stood up well over the years. Maybe it's been protected by the Goddess.
Maria: I can sense a kind of divine presence. Maybe it's true that this place was created by the Goddess.
Harry: There must be a way ahead that we've overlooked. We must explore all possibilities.
Maria: That's rather a big drop, isn't it? Take care not to fall!
Harry: Aren't you getting tired, Maria? Maybe we should rest for a while.
Maria: No, not at all. I don't want to slow you down.
Harry: This tower's starting to get on my nerves! We don't have time for this kind of thing!
Harry: Oh blast! How are we supposed to go any further with the path gone like this!?
Maria: The idea behind this place is that only those who believe in things they can't always see receive the blessing of the Goddess.
Maria: So maybe this is a kind of test. To see if we'll doubt what's actually before our very eyes.
Harry: We found it! With this mirror, we'll be able to save Coburg from the chaos it's fallen into!
Maria: We managed to pass the trial of the tower! Dear Goddess, we are eternally grateful!
Harry: I didn't expect there to be a path right in front of me that I couldn't see.
Harry: Now I'm starting to think there might be some truth in this talk of the tower being created by the Goddess.
Maria: It was frightening, but we've proved now that you just need the courage to move forward one step at a time, and a path will open up to you.
Maria: I'm going to learn from this, and try to live my life with courage from now on in!
Harry: Well, we have what we came for. We should hurry on back to Coburg and put this little episode behind us.
Harry: Sorry I put you and Maria to so much trouble, Hero.
Harry: We're not quite there yet, though. I'll save my thanks for when this is all done and dusted.
Bianca: It's great to be able to have a little adventure together again after all these years, Hero!
Bianca: You've grown up an awful lot since last time. Just imagine what kind of fun we could have now!
Bianca: Dun't take any notice of what Dad was sayin'. He's ill. He dun't know what he's on about!
Bianca: That bloke's veggies taste amazin'. We have him deliver 'em to our place, and they're great!
Bianca: That bloke may moan, but what his son's doin' is probably a big help.
Bianca: It's up to us folk of Stockenbarrel to man the lock and keep it maintained.
Bianca: I dun't think there's many folk who've had it opened for 'em and bin up to that lake he was on about.
Bianca: That cat's not exactly a pet of ours, but it seems to like hangin' around our place all the time.
Bianca: Come to think of it, I wonder how %a001210's gettin' along.
Bianca: I'm sure he means well deep down, but I wish he wouldn't call me ⓗdarlin'ⓘ.
Bianca: Just because it's a mixed bath, it dun't mean people shouldn't observe some kind of limits!
Bianca: What d'you reckon, Hero? D'you think my skin's lovely?
Bianca: Ha ha! Thanks! I reckon it's all down to havin' one of these baths every day for the last Goddess knows how long.
Bianca: Fair enough. I am a bit sunburnt, after all. And then there's all the cuts and grazes. Not to mention the odd bruise or two...
Bianca: Huh! Look who's all grown up all of a sudden!
Bianca: We moved here to Stockenbarrel because we thought the bath water might do Dad some good.
Bianca: In an ideal world, I'd have preferred to stay in Roundbeck so I'd know sooner when you were back safe and sound.
Bianca: Ha ha! She certainly tells it like it is!
Bianca: I really liked it back in Roundbeck, but this place en't bad neither. Can be a bit quiet, mind.
Bianca: Oh yeah. I remember one of the villagers headin' off to join up with that religion a while back. I wonder how they're gettin' on.
Bianca: It's a bit of a pain havin' to traipse past the inn to get to the baths.
Bianca: But they're the ones takin' care of them, so I s'pose it's fair enough.
Bianca: I dun't think I've bin this happy in a long time. You're back on the scene and Dad seems to be gettin' better. It's all good!
Bianca: There's somethin' about goin' into a pub durin' the day. It always seems quieter than everywhere else, dun't you think?
Bianca: The White King's Paradise? That sounds a bit serious. This kind of talk really gives me the willies for some reason.
Bianca: That scintillating sinter he was on about is the crystal deposits left behind in the bath water. It's all natural stuff, and there's not a lot of it.
Bianca: It's the most famous thing about Stockenbarrel by far.
Bianca: I had intended to take care of everythin' myself, but that bloke said carpenteerin' is too dangerous for me alone.
Bianca: So we came to an arrangement where he'd come and help me out each day. He's a bit of a worrier, mind!
Bianca: It's up to us folk of Stockenbarrel to man the lock and keep it maintained.
Bianca: I dun't think there's many folk who've had it opened for 'em and bin up to that lake he was on about.
Bianca: If only he wasn't here, we'd have the whole bath to ourselves, eh? Ha ha! Don't worry, I'm only jokin'!
Bianca: A cave... I wonder if that's where your ring's hidden, Hero.
Bianca: There certainly was a treasure in there, eh! The key to your happiness, no less!
Bianca: Ha ha! There you go again, tryin' to speak to folk when they're sleepin'! You're a funny one sometimes, Hero.
Bianca: That woman always stays up into the night until her old man comes home.
Bianca: She makes all this fuss and moans about him bein' late, but I think she's just anxious when he's not around.
Bianca: There en't any other girls of my age here in the village. I hope this one hangs around for a while.
Bianca: It's bin a while since any young folk came here to visit the baths. It's mostly old people comin' to fix their ailments.
Bianca: Oh yeah. I remember one of the villagers headin' off to join up with that religion a while back. I hope they're okay.
Bianca: That old man's always comin' out with things a bit over the line. But I'm sure he means well deep down.
Bianca: You've seen my house, right? That bloke had it up in no time!
Bianca: Suddenly carpenterin' is more fun than it sounds!
Bianca: You can hardly blame his missus for bein' angry. He'll be no good to anyone after ten glasses!
Bianca: That little one's always asleep here of a night. I wonder what it is about our house that it likes so much.
Bianca: I can't believe it's bin over ten years. An awful lot's happened to both of us since then, eh, Hero?
Bianca: What an enormous cave! And it's not even all that dark either, what with the light comin' in through the gaps in the rocks.
Bianca: Quite a difference to our little adventure at Uptaten Towers, eh? That was a dark old smelly old place if ever there was one!
Bianca: It's quite a puzzle really, this place. I mean, the fact that it has paths and stairs probably means the whole thing's man-made.
Bianca: You've grown up to be pretty strong, Hero. I must admit, I'm a bit surprised!
Bianca: You dun't seem to want to talk about it much, but I can tell you've bin through an awful lot since we last met.
Bianca: I can hear a really loud noise comin' from somewhere. Like a roar or somethin'. I wonder what it is.
Bianca: I never expected Mum to die so early.
Bianca: Life's pretty unpredictable, en't it, Hero? You never can tell what's 'round the corner.
Bianca: Well, we can't stand here admirin' the scenery all day long. Let's just make sure we don't fall though, eh?
Bianca: ............ Bianca: looks a bit annoyed.
Bianca: There's no way I'm goin' to let a lowlife like him find the ring! We'd better hurry up and get ahead!
Bianca: It feels like we've bin climbin' down for ages now. Surely it can't be much further!?
Bianca: There must be another place like this we've overlooked.
Bianca: We've looked all over the place, but I suppose we must've missed somethin' along the way.
Bianca: We'd better try lookin' again a bit more carefully this time.
Bianca: I suppose you'll become a ⓗMostroferratianⓘ or whatever once you get married, eh, Hero?
Bianca: There was a chance we might've come to live here once, y'know.
Bianca: It's not far from the baths of Stockenbarrel, and it's great for shoppin'.
Bianca: But it was decided we'd move to Stockenbarrel itself in the end, 'cos it's better for Dad and his health if he's somewhere quiet.
Bianca: I hope it really is the Zenithian Shield. It would be great if you could find your Mum.
Bianca: Crispin's the one who fancies Nera, right?
Bianca: Sounds like he pushed himself a bit too far 'cos he wants to marry her so badly. Poor thing.
Bianca: He's a canny salesman, eh? He's right, though. We should check over our stuff before we go anywhere.
Bianca: Hey, it must be makin' you a bit jealous, the idea of Nera lookin' after some other bloke!
Bianca: Ha ha ha! Thought so.
Bianca: Pah! You dun't have to lie to me, y'know!
Bianca: Yeah, you're bound to find the ring no problem. I'm here to help you, after all!
Bianca: What d'you suppose that means? Do you think Nera loves someone else?
Bianca: Or maybe she just dun't want you to get hurt. Hm, I wonder what it is that's on her mind.
Bianca: Crispin and Nera are childhood friends, en't they?
Bianca: I suppose it's only natural she'd be worried about him gettin' hurt, then.
Bianca: It's hardly Nera's fault. It's her dad who's to blame for comin' up with such a dangerous challenge in the first place.
Bianca: Nera's so pretty. And she seems really sweet too.
Bianca: I'd say she might even be a bit too good for you, Hero!
Bianca: Crikey! What awful burns! I reckon his fever'll be around for a while, judgin' by the look of him.
Bianca: Blimey! That was a bit of a shock! How can she be so polite to her customers in one breath and so rotten to her husband the next!?
Bianca: It's hard to tell whether he's just kind or weak-willed. They certainly go well together, anyway.
Bianca: I hope I manage to find someone like that to marry one day. It's a long way off yet, though, I'm sure.
Bianca: The church here is so huge and beautiful!
Bianca: It really is lovely. I hope I can get married in a place like that.
Bianca: That Briscoletti bloke must be loaded to have a holiday home within spittin' distance of his actual house!
Bianca: Wow! What a house! I can't believe you're goin' to be part of such a rich family, Hero!
Bianca: That Briscoletti certainly dun't mince his words, eh?
Bianca: I wonder if he really thinks you'd do somethin' like that...
Bianca: Dun't tell anyone, but he was a right wimp! He was cryin' and moanin' about the pain, so it was ever so hard tryin' to tend to him.
Bianca: You're plannin' on carryin' on with your travels after you get married, right, Hero?
Bianca: I suppose Nera will be pretty worried about you, then.
Bianca: Eh!? So you're goin' after the ring just so you can marry Nera? And not because you want the Zenithian Shield!?
Bianca: Well... Yeah, I suppose I can see your point. Maybe it's best just to give up lookin' for your mum and settle down to a family of your own.
Bianca: What d'you suppose that means? Do you think Nera loves someone else?
Bianca: Or maybe she just dun't want you to get hurt. Hm, I wonder what it is that's on her mind.
Bianca: Fancy thinkin' of gettin' married just for the money! It's like Nera's some kind of meal ticket to him.
Bianca: I dun't think this is a good idea, Hero. That stuff's ever so strong. It en't for them who en't used to it.
Bianca: Are you okay, Hero? Drinkin' all that probably weren't the best idea. Let me know if you start to feel funny.
Bianca: Looks like that's his tactic with the ladies. At least you dun't have to resort to things like that, Hero.
Bianca: Crispin and Nera are childhood friends, en't they?
Bianca: I suppose it's only natural she'd be worried about him gettin' hurt, then.
Bianca: Crispin really loves Nera, eh?
Bianca: It seems like it should be the two of them gettin' married, really.
Bianca: Sorry! Just forget I said anythin'.
Bianca: Ha ha ha! It's funny seein' how different folk are with their spouses!
Bianca: Nera will be asleep by now. I know you want to see her, but you'll just have to wait until tomorrow.
Bianca: So this is Nera's older sister, is it?
Bianca: Blimey! I dun't think you could find two folk more different to each other.
Bianca: I suppose I have bin livin' in the countryside a while, so I can see why I'd look like a peasant to the likes of her.
Bianca: But there's no need for her to come right out and say it to my face!
Bianca: I dun't suppose you actually prefer that Debora over Nera, do you, Hero?
Bianca: Well, I'll be! Who'd have seen that comin', eh?
Bianca: Yeah, I suppose you prefer the more ladylike type, eh?
Bianca: I dun't suppose you actually prefer that Debora over Nera, do you, Hero?
Bianca: Well, I'll be! Who'd have seen that comin', eh?
Bianca: Yeah, I suppose you prefer the more ladylike type, eh?
Bianca: So this is it, Hero. With the Circle of Water, nothin's stoppin' you from marryin' that Nera.
Bianca: Make sure you invite me to the weddin', eh? I did help you find the ring, after all, so you owe me one!
Bianca: There was a chance we might've come to live here once, y'know.
Bianca: It's not far from the baths of Stockenbarrel, and it's great for shoppin'.
Bianca: But it was decided we'd move to Stockenbarrel itself in the end, 'cos it's better for Dad and his health if he's somewhere quiet.
Bianca: Um, Hero. Do you really love Nera?
Bianca: Ha ha ha! Yeah, of course you do. Sorry. That was a weird thing of me to ask.
Bianca: Hmm. Nera would be really sad if she heard you sayin' that, you know.
Bianca: I bet that veil's well nice! Nera's so lucky...
Bianca: Crispin's the one who fancies Nera, right?
Bianca: Sounds like he pushed himself a bit too far 'cos he wants to marry her so badly. Poor thing.
Bianca: That Briscoletti's jumpin' the gun a bit, eh? You din't even tell him you found the ring or nothin'.
Bianca: I suppose that means he must believe in you a fair bit, eh, Hero?
Bianca: What d'you suppose that means? Do you think Nera loves someone else?
Bianca: Or maybe she just dun't want you to get hurt. Hm, I wonder what it is that's on her mind.
Bianca: I dun't think it's just booze they have on sale here. They have some funny other drinks too.
Bianca: Crispin and Nera are childhood friends, en't they?
Bianca: I suppose it's only natural she'd be worried about him gettin' hurt, then.
Bianca: If she's goin' to such lengths to take care of him, maybe Nera... Never mind.
Bianca: Looks like the burns en't the only thing causin' Crispin some pain, eh?
Bianca: Blimey! That was a bit of a shock! How can she be so polite to her customers in one breath and so rotten to her husband the next!?
Bianca: Fair enough, I s'pose. It's quite nice when a wife makes her husband dinner every now and then too, though, eh?
Bianca: I hope I manage to find someone like that to marry one day. It's a long way off yet, though, I'm sure.
Bianca: I wonder if he would've really bin allowed to marry Nera if he'd have found the ring.
Bianca: It dun't bear thinkin' about! Lucky for her it din't turn out that way, anyhow.
Bianca: The church here is so huge and beautiful!
Bianca: It really is lovely. I hope I can get married in a place like that.
Bianca: That Briscoletti bloke must be loaded to have a holiday home within spittin' distance of his actual house!
Bianca: I'm startin' to get all nervous now! Come on, Hero. Let's go.
Bianca: That was a bit stupid of us, bowlin' on back here without the Circle of Water!

Bianca: You choosin' me and this weddin' goin' ahead already... I dunno, it all feels so sudden.
Bianca: But that dun't mean I en't happy about it. I've always bin a big fan of yours, Hero.
Bianca: This is the first time I've ever tried on any make-up. Do I look alright in it?
Bianca: Thanks, Hero. It feels a bit funny to me, that's all.
Bianca: Ha ha! Yeah, I know. It dun't suit me, eh? I s'pose I'll just have to put up with it until the ceremony's over.
Bianca: I'm still a bit bowled over, to be honest. I was sure you'd pick Nera, y'see.
Bianca: Ha ha! This feels a bit awkward, dun't it? We've got time to get used to it, though. We'll be together all the time from now on.
Bianca: It's a lovely day today, dun't you think? Bein' here where we got wed makes me feel all...happy inside!
Bianca: It really was a wonderful weddin'. I'll never forget it as long as I live.
Bianca: Ha ha! Children are so sweet, don't you think? I want one!
Bianca: I s'pose Nera's right back to square one in lookin' for someone to marry now.
Bianca: I hope she manages to find a perfect man just like I have.
Bianca: Urgh! How disgustin'! I feel sorry for people havin' to serve the likes of him!
Bianca: I s'pose it's pretty obvious, but I think marriage is amazin'. I've never bin happier.
Bianca: I feel all embarrassed when folk say things like that!
Bianca: That's good news. Nera will be relieved.
Bianca: I hope we get to stay together until we're their age.
Bianca: Crispin seems to have made a sudden recovery.
Bianca: If he feels that strongly, then I reckon it's just a matter of time before he and Nera tie the knot.
Bianca: I think it's because we grew up apart that we go so well together now. I want to do everythin' I can to support you, Hero.
Bianca: When I close my eyes here, I can imagine exactly how everythin' was durin' our weddin'.
Bianca: D'you think I'll ever end up talkin' to you like that, Hero?
Bianca: Ha ha! I s'pose it's a good thing that you're prepared and expectin' it then!
Bianca: Yeah. Hopefully you'll just do as you're told without me needin' to nag, eh! Ha ha!
Bianca: I dun't mind makin' dinner for you, Hero. Every now and then, anyway!
Bianca: This maid's uniform is so pretty, dun't you think? Maybe old Mr Briscoletti had her wear it so he'd have somethin' nice to look at!
Bianca: Looks like Harry and Maria have gone back already. That's a shame. I was hopin' to have a nice chat with the both of 'em.
Bianca: Briscoletti's really generous, eh? I hope he dun't think we're takin' advantage of him.
Bianca: So this is the Zenithian Shield? I can't explain why, but I feel almost like I've seen it somewhere before.
Bianca: Ooh! What d'ya reckon, Hero? The Ventuno sounds like fun, and I wouldn't mind travellin' around our old haunts a bit.
Bianca: It's up to you, though. You can decide where we go. I'll be happy as long as I'm with you.
Bianca: Yeah, I'm sure Nera will have no trouble findin' herself a nice bloke.
Bianca: Um, Hero... Do you ever regret not choosin' Nera over me?
Bianca: Oi! Watch it! Else I'll really give you somethin' to regret! Ha ha!
Bianca: That's good. I'll make sure you never regret it as long as you live.
Bianca: When we have kids, it'd be fun for us all to go travellin' together as a family. ...Sorry! Am I gettin' ahead of myself a bit?
Bianca: Let's always stay together, eh, Hero?
Bianca: I feel all embarrassed when folk say things like that!
Bianca: I s'pose it's pretty obvious, but I think marriage is amazin'. I've never bin happier.
Bianca: Yuck, yuck, yuck!
Bianca: I hate havin' things like that said about me, especially by a drunk!
Bianca: He wants a wife? Sounds like he'd be happy with anyone as long as she was a woman!
Bianca: A lot of folk are sayin' things like that lately, eh? We'd better hurry up with this hunt for the hero.
Bianca: That Crispin's certainly a determined one! It's good that he's makin' such an effort.
Bianca: Her poor husband! I'll have to make sure I don't end up an old shrew like she is.
Bianca: I hope Nera's happy too.
Bianca: I can understand why you want to stop by here, Hero.
Bianca: I wonder what this place is. It dun't look like anyone lives here.
Bianca: Maybe we'd be able to figure it out if we could get inside somehow.
Bianca: You dun't think that Debora's a bit angry because you chose me, do you, Hero?
Nera: I hope you don't think I'm some kind of spoilt little rich girl just because I'm a bit quiet.
Nera: I was just mulling over this strange feeling I have. A kind of conviction that I could be of great use to you on your travels.
Nera: I know that Papa will be totally against the idea of me joining you on your journey.
Nera: But I won't allow him to talk me out of it. Come on, let's go and tell him the news.
Nera: I'm sorry that the wedding ceremony was so rushed.
Nera: It was wrong of Papa not to take your feelings more into account with all of his grand plans.
Nera: This place was built so that we would have space to house guests when they come to visit.
Nera: Although, Mama sometimes uses it as a way of escaping from Papa when they have a tiff! He he!
Nera: I know that Papa seems really stubborn, but I'm sure I'll be able to persuade him.
Nera: We hardly had much chance to get to know each other before we were wed. But I know we'll make up for that from now on.
Nera: I would never have forgiven Papa if anything bad happened to you.
Nera: What a shame for that boy, losing his mother at his young age.
Nera: No one could fail to feel sorry for the poor thing.
Nera: I was so against Papa's idea of me marrying the man who returned the rings to him as he requested.
Nera: But now I realise he was doing it so that I'd end up marrying the best possible person. He was just trying to make me happy.
Nera: Oh dear! Drinking to that extent doesn't seem like a very good idea.
Nera: What a waste when drink is so magnifico! ...That's what Papa always says, anyway.
Nera: I hope she manages to find her perfect match before long too.
Nera: How lucky we are, being given all these good wishes from the townsfolk!
Nera: I feel a little bit guilty when I see Crispin's parents.
Nera: I think they were probably hoping that he and I would be married.
Nera: I must admit that I was quite surprised too. Crispin's such a gentle sort. I don't think I've ever known him say a word in anger.
Nera: I always knew how Crispin felt about me.
Nera: But when we met, it was like some strange power was drawing me towards you.
Nera: He he! Just like with those funny monsters you take around with you!
Nera: Crispin always took care of me when I was small. If anything, I think of him as a sort of elder brother.
Nera: It's just the two of us now, but hopefully we'll be a big happy family one day.
Nera: Stop lazing about and put some tea on, you old waster!?
Nera: ...I just can't imagine ever saying that to anyone!
Nera: I'm afraid that cooking isn't really my forte.
Nera: I try my best, but I don't even come close to our cook when it comes to handling a cleaver!
Nera: Bianca's not here any more. She's gone home. I can understand that you'd want to see her, though.
Nera: You never look like you're able to relax when you're in this house, you know!
Nera: I never heard about a jar being located in such an unlikely place.
Nera: But those are the rules Papa has decided on if I'm to travel with you, so it must be important.
Nera: So the Zenithian Shield has been right here all along.
Nera: Maybe that's why... I've sometimes felt a strange power coming from it, you see.
Nera: This means I can travel with you for as long as my heart desires. I'm so happy!
Nera: I'm actually quite surprised that Papa relented so quickly.
Nera: Maybe he had some kind of premonition that I'd set off travelling one day.
Nera: I don't mind where we go. As long as I'm by your side, I'd be perfectly content anywhere.
Nera: I'll give you as many children as you want, Hero. Whatever will make you happy.
Nera: We should be able to stay in the villa if we want to. Let's make sure we rest whenever and wherever we please.
Nera: Travelling together has taught me the joy of being there for one another, Hero.
Nera: It's so dangerous everywhere nowadays, both in town and outside. What a terrible thing!
Nera: That child... He's the same as me. ...Um, never mind. It doesn't matter.
Nera: He seems to be enjoying a good sleep. I hope he doesn't catch a cold.
Nera: How lucky we are, being given all these good wishes from the townsfolk!
Nera: I hope she finds someone nice.
Nera: Wouldn't it be nice if everyone could find their perfect match?
Nera: Forgetting about a problem for a while doesn't make it go away. You need to work at solving it. Little by little is better than nothing at all.
Nera: Do you like it here? I still feel a bit upset when I'm inside this house.
Nera: I always knew how Crispin felt about me.
Nera: But when we met, it was like some strange power was drawing me towards you.
Nera: He he! Just like with those funny monsters you take around with you!
Nera: Crispin always took care of me when I was small. If anything, I think of him as a sort of elder brother.
Nera: I wonder why he's not sleeping in a bed. Poor man!
Nera: If you don't rub a bit harder, it won't help one little bit, you old waster!?
Nera: ...I just can't imagine ever saying that to anyone!
Nera: Maybe it would be nice to stay over here sometimes. We could sleep in my old room.
Nera: I think Papa has a few more grey hairs than before. Maybe I've been making him worry too much.
Nera: It feels strange watching Mama sleeping like this.
Nera: I'll do everything I can to help you find your own mother, I promise.
Nera: We're exactly north-west from the La Guardia lookout tower here.
Nera: Maybe this is what Papa was always looking at from up there.
Nera: Let's hurry up inside and see what colour that jar is then, darling.
Nera: So it was blue. I suppose we'd better get back and tell Papa. I do hope he lets me come travelling with you now.
Nera: I wonder what could be inside that jar, and why it's sealed so tightly shut.
Nera: Papa's never mentioned it before, so I really have no idea what it's all about.
Nera: Oh dear, Hero! I'm sure she was just joking. You must take it with a pinch of salt.
Nera: I wonder if Debora's angry because you chose to marry me instead of her. I hope not!
Nera: Bingo joined the family so that Debora: wouldn't get lonely when I went to stay at the abbey.
Nera: Unfortunately, I don't think she's ever been overly keen on him.
Nera: Bingo joined the family so that Mama wouldn't get lonely when I went to stay at the abbey.
Nera: Unfortunately, I don't think she's ever been overly keen on him.
Debora: Now, you mustn't go getting it into your head that I'm coming along with you because I'd miss you or anything.
Debora: I'm sure that Papa's bound to be against the idea.
Debora: But there's nothing he can say that'll change my mind about going off travelling with you.
Debora: I told you I don't like taking orders, but I suppose you do know a thing or two about fighting monsters.
Debora: So I might let you give me advice on how to behave whenever we find ourselves in a battle. Can't say fairer than that.
Debora: It's really dull here. Not to my taste at all.
Debora: You do a good impression of listening to what people say, but I suspect you don't really pay attention half the time.
Debora: Mostroferrato is quite a big town as towns go. I quite like it, actually.
Debora: Well, obviously! I'm hardly likely to have settled for anything less.
Debora: I'm afraid he's going to have a hard time of it trying to find someone as beautiful as me. We're few and far between.
Debora: Bingo was a gift to me so that I wouldn't be lonely when Nera: went to live at the abbey.
Debora: I was never all that lonely, though. And I never really took to him, so Mama ended up looking after him most of the time.
Debora: What's that supposed to mean? It's not like you ever seriously considered marrying Nera, did you?
Debora: What a lout! Come on, Hero! We're leaving.
Debora: I suppose seeing me with my own personal slave is enough to make any woman want to get married.
Debora: Why are you looking so pleased with yourself?
Debora: The fine young specimen he was referring to was me, not you!
Debora: What an irritating old woman! She says that as if Nera and Crispin are bound to get married, but it's not like anything's been decided.
Debora: Crispin's father really doesn't seem to like me for some reason.
Debora: I just don't understand it. I've always treated his son with the respect he deserves.
Debora: Crispin's totally besotted with me, you know. That's why he spends so much time worrying about Nera. He's using her to get to me.
Debora: All his efforts have come to nothing now I've married you, though.
Debora: I suppose it could work out quite well if Nera did decide to be with Crispin.
Debora: Not that I imagine for one minute that she will.
Debora: What is it with nuns? Everything good always has to have been bestowed on us by the Goddess.
Debora: I won't ever nag at you like that to make the tea. You'll just do it with no arguments.
Debora: Yes, it's definitely important to get things straight from the very beginning.
Debora: You and I have an understanding there, though, so we shouldn't have any trouble.
Debora: So Bianca's gone home already.
Debora: We had a bit of a chat when I was getting ready for our wedding ceremony. She's quite a nice girl actually, isn't she?
Debora: Stupid girl! Fancy thinking we're visitors, especially when I'm right here with you!
Debora: I don't see why Papa can't just go and check on the stupid jar himself.
Debora: But if he's going to insist, then I suppose we'd better just hurry up and get it over with.
Debora: So this is our family shield?
Debora: It's strange, but I feel quite drawn to it.
Debora: Papa's always been a complete worrywart.
Debora: I'm sure that's why he's going so bald.
Debora: Papa's boat... I remember going on it once ages ago. It was quite good fun, actually.
Debora: You can decide where we go.
Debora: We're going to the Ventuno, though, right?
Debora: Charming! I don't take advantage of you, Hero. I just tell it like it is.
Debora: I'm sure Nera will find herself a man sooner or later.
Debora: Fair enough. But don't go thinking I'll take care of you if you wear yourself out.
Debora: And it's merrier still for you, with such a beautiful travelling companion on your arm!
Debora: Bingo was a gift to me so that I wouldn't be lonely when Nera: went to live at the abbey.
Debora: I was never all that lonely, though. And I never really took to him, so Mama ended up looking after him most of the time.
Debora: Absolutely, Hero. You'd better make sure you look after me properly.
Debora: What a greedy child! He has a father, doesn't he?
Debora: Why do you seem to enjoy talking to people when they're asleep?
Debora: Why are you looking so pleased with yourself?
Debora: The fine young specimen he was referring to was me, not you!
Debora: I suppose seeing me with my own personal slave is enough to make any woman want to get married.
Debora: This might be a bit harsh, but I'd say he doesn't have a hope. Not with a face like that.
Debora: What a weak and foolish man, turning to drink like that to forget his troubles.
Debora: Is there any reason we've come to Crispin's house?
Debora: Ah, I know! You've come to show me off, haven't you?
Debora: I suppose he might suit Nera quite well.
Debora: But he'll have to try at least a hundred times harder before he wins her heart.
Debora: He's certainly got enthusiasm, I'll give him that much.
Debora: I suppose we'll just have to sit back and let things take their course.
Debora: Actually, my shoulders are aching a bit too. You'll rub them for me, won't you, Hero?
Debora: Time for bed already, is it?
Debora: I suppose we could stay in my room then.
Debora: What's Papa doing asleep here? Why doesn't he just go to bed?
Debora: Watching Mama sleeping like that makes me feel all sleepy too.
Debora: Hey! What do you think you're doing, coming into Nera's room like this!?
Debora: Get out right now!
Debora: I never knew there was a shrine here.
Debora: It looks like it's been here a while too. The place is covered in dust.
Debora: Apart from that blue jar, there doesn't seem to be anything else of interest here.
Debora: Well, we've done what he wanted. Time to get back to Papa.
