Allow me to fight by your side till the end of days, Your Highness.

Adventurer Story Episodes

Episode 1

The Paladyn's Hobby

*pant* *pant* Enough, Your Highness. It's noon. That's more than enough training for one day. Whew! You may be right about that. You really are incredible, Elly. Your guard is flawless. No matter what angle I used, you were ready. It's like you have eyes in the back of your head. If I'm being honest, you could stand to be more like that. You focus far too much on what's in front of you. Unchivalrous fiends will happily strike an unguarded back if they can. You must pay more attention. But aren't you there to protect my back? Ranzal and Cleo, too. I can afford to focus on what's in front of me because I know all of you are covering my blind spots. I suppose that makes a... certain amount of sense. But do you not find it unbecoming for a member of the royal family to be so dependent? Relying on others shows weakness. And I personally think it improper for a king or knight to willingly expose themselves so eagerly. Hmm. It's never bothered me. Regardless, as the duty of both royalty and knights is to help the people, you should— Ha! That's hilarious comin' from you, Ms. Perfect Paladyn! Ain't no need to be so stubborn about everything. Besides, out on the battlefield, it's important to have pals what can cover yer blind spots. I'm not trying to understate the importance of allies in battle. I'm just pointing out what I believe to be a flaw in the prince's way of thinking. Like I said. Stubborn. Are the other Paladyns all like you? Of course. We're entrusted to guard the Auspex— no one will come along and perform this duty for us. Well, I can't fault ya for takin' your job seriously—even if a life without fun ain't really one worth livin'. There's no need to speak of me as if I'm a loveless hermit with no concept of hobbies or joy. There ARE things I do for fun, after all. Oh yeah? Like what? Such as... Well, there's... Um... Animals! Yes, that's one. Animals. I didn't know you had a pet. So what's it eat? Oh my, that's easy. It eats... Um... Actually, my pet requires no sustenance. You have an animal that doesn't need to eat? Er... Well, I mean... Ah! I understand our problem now. You were speaking of real animals. I was referring to ornamental ones. You're into fake animals? Heh. Figures. Leave it to a stubborn knight to be into some animal-shaped rock. I betcha use it as a sparring partner or a target dummy or— I do no such thing, sir! My animal is cuuu...uuuu... Cuuuu...? Cuuuu...t? Cut! Yes, cut. I meant to say that it's cut from animal hide. Er, I think. Just seeing it brightens my day! Now if that is all of your questions, I bid you good day. She was leaving before she was even done talking. Now THERE'S a lady with a secret!

Episode 2

Surprise Cuteness

In return for safely escorting a noblewoman to her destination, the party received a beautiful dress. But on the way back...

I'm pleased we were able to complete our escort mission without issue, Your Highness. Me too, Elly. But then why do you look so grim? Because I feel we ought not to have accepted this dress from her as recompense. I am going to return it to her. Elisanne, we've been over this. The woman wanted us to have it, and we agreed to take it. She won't like it if we try to return it now. W-well, that's true, but... Oh, very well. I suppose we must accept her kindness. Exactly. Speaking of the dress, why don't you try it on when we get back? A garment such as this is ill suited to me. Matilda would look far better in something so cute. Matilda? Umm, yes! Matilda! She's...a good friend of mine! I've never heard you mention her. Still, I think you'd look good in it. I mean, everyone enjoys wearing cute things, right? Erm... I wouldn't necessarily... Ah! Awwwww! *sniff* Owwwwie... Are you all right? Here, let me help you up. Oh, you've dropped your stuffed toy. Allow me to... (It's so CUTE! Oh, curse you, fate! How unfair to spring something so adorable on me without warning!) (A-all right... Close your eyes and take a breath... Impossible! It's simply too cute to look away!) ...Er, Elly? You okay? You're just...staring at that toy. It's...nothing! Nothing at all. I'm fine. Here you are, little girl. Do watch where you're going next time. And take care not to drop your precious little friend. Thanks, nice lady! I never thought to see you calling a stuffed toy a ＂friend.＂ I feel as if I've just seen a whole new side of you. And what's so strange about that?! I didn't say it was strange. Just cute, is all. C-cute...?! You stared at that toy like you'd fallen in love. You must really like cute things. Th-th-that's... That is NOT true! This conversation is over! What?! Elly, wait! Come back!

Episode 3

My Best Friend, Matilda

Elisanne stands in her room at the castle, carefully putting a dress on a stuffed rabbit.

Just one little adjustment and... there we are! See? I knew cute clothes looked better on you than me. ...Hmm? What's that, Matilda? You want to see what I look like in a dress? I couldn't possibly. While I gave thought to wearing the dress earlier, it was simply too embarrassing. I wish I could just be more honest and call cute things what they are. *sigh* Oh, this isn't like me at all. But while we're here, there IS a matter I wish to speak to you about. Earlier today, His Highness was hurt. And though I was with him, I could do nothing to stop it. I've been lecturing him on how knights have a duty to protect people yet couldn't keep him safe. Do I truly have the right to remain at his side when he can't even depend on me? Hee hee! Oh, Matilda. I always end up rambling on and on when it's you doing the listening. As always, I appreciate you lending me an ear. Elly? Are you talking to that rabbit? AAAAAAAUGH! How long have you been standing there listening to Matilda and I converse, Your Highness? The rabbit is named Matilda? O-of course not! I would never do something so childish as to converse with an inanimate object! But you were just— PLEASE pretend you didn't see that! I will pay any price, no matter how demeaning or— Elly, it's all right! This must be our secret. No one is to ever know of it. Sure, all right. I guess this is what you meant when you said you were interested in ornamental animals. I will understand if you mock me. No one is going to mock you. I just never thought you were the type to own a stuffed animal. That's all I meant. Matilda has been a friend of mine for a very long time. Back when I was training to be a knight, I experienced all manner of hardships. Matilda was the only one who was always at my side. The only one who supported me no matter what. I see. She's been watching over you like a guardian. Well, it's good to meet you, Matilda. I thought you promised not to mock me. I didn't mean it like that! She is your friend, yes? In that case, it's only right for me to make introductions. Oh... Are you all right, Elly? You're turning red. I am perfectly fine. I just didn't expect you to be so... understanding. I must return to my room now. Excuse me! Er, this IS your room. ...Ah. So it is.

Episode 4

A King and His People

Elly? Elly, where are you? She's out running a couple of shopping errands for me, actually. Oh, really? Well, I suppose that's all right. Still, I just can't shake this bad feeling... *pant* *pant* Guh! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr! Stay back, fiend! Curses... They just keep coming... Trying to fight while encircled by fiends is one thing, but doing so while protecting a rabbit is another! He can't even run away because his leg is injured. I need to do something quickly! Graaaaaaaaagh! Elly! Your Highness! This isn't like you! Fiends like this never give you trouble! Ordinarily, you'd be right. But... Wait, is that a rabbit behind you? Ah, I see. All right! I'll watch your back—you just focus on the monsters in front of you! Many thanks. Hraaaah! ...I think that's the last of them. And it looks like Mr. Rabbit is all right, too. While I appreciate the assistance, Your Highness, what exactly brings you here? I was worried when you were gone for so long, so I went looking for you. Now I'm glad I did. I'm glad as well—and horrified that it proved necessary. No worthy knight needs protection from their own charge—and this is not my first failure on that score. I permitted you to be injured while I was with you the other day. Do you remember? My shame is immense. What good is a knight who cannot defend who they are sworn to protect? You're a knight, Elly—not a superhuman. If we all just protect one another, we'll be all right. I...I can't accept that! Rulers are not protected by their subjects, and knights should never be guarded by their kings! Yet rulers ARE protected by their subjects. It happens all the time. What do you mean? Kings have to leave their countries from time to time, right? And when they do, they leave the nation in the hands of their people. They do this because they trust the people and know the kingdom will be in safe hands. If a king can lean on his people, a knight can lean on a king. There's nothing wrong with relying on others for help. Even if one of the others happens to be a king. Well, when you put it that way... Heh. How very odd. Whenever we talk, I find myself having to change previous ways of thinking. And in this instance... you're absolutely right.

Episode 5

To Rely on Someone

Blast... There's so many of them! I'll find a way for you to escape! I should be able to buy enough time for you to flee. While I distract them, you— I'm not leaving! What?! This is no time for heroics! Look behind you! Graaaaaah! Fie! Now they're behind me as well! Your Highness! Don't worry about me. We've got this. I'll watch your back, and you can watch mine. Then we don't have a blind spot. Keep looking forward—we'll find a way out of this. It might be too much for either of us to handle alone, but I know we can do it together! It worked with the rabbit, remember? All right! I'll watch your back—you just focus on the monsters in front of you! Many thanks. Hraaaah! ...Yes. You're right. I'm counting on you, Your Highness! Got it! Thank you, Elly. I owe you. I'm the one who ought to be thanking you. I know now that relying on a person isn't necessarily the same as exposing your own weakness. On the contrary—it compensates for weakness and allows both parties to become stronger. The ability to rely on another is but proof of existing trust. This is a truth I learned from you. You may be overthinking it a bit, but I'm happy you feel that way. You're important to me, Elly. I don't want you feeling like you have to deal with everything alone. Thank you for saying that, Your Highness. I hope you will continue to honor me with the opportunity to be by your side and serve you. Because with all of our companions now at the castle, I can become a better knight. Of course I want you by my side, Elly. I need you! Shall we return to the castle, then? By the way, are you truly not going to try that dress on? I still haven't seen you wear it. I'm positive it would look good on you. Wha—! Y-y-you really think so? I'm also certain it would make Matilda happy. Where does she come into this?! Friends just want friends to wear whatever makes them hap— Er, what are you doing? La la la! I'm not listeniiiiiiing! I'm going back to the castle!
