Adventurer Story Episodes

Episode 1

Swiumsuit Shopping

...Well, we'll leave that to Ranzal and— And leave getting ready for FUN to me! Heh. Naturally. Are you going somewhere? You all appear quite lively. Hey, Estelle! Come have some fun with us at the beach! At the...beach? Yeah, we're all heading out soon. Do you want to come? Me? Yeah, you! C'mon, everybody loves the beach! Hell, I wanna be there right now! We can tell by the way you've already changed into your swimsuit. Right? That's how crazy excited I am! Very well. I'll come with you. That's what we wanna hear! After all, your behavior is certainly lending credence to the rumors that beaches are full of people getting carried away. Muh? So I think an outside observer is needed to ensure none of you cause trouble! Whaaaaat?! Umbrella... Lotion... Whistle... Yes, it seems all I need now is a swimsuit. The others recommended a certain shop that... Ah, yes. There it is. Welcome! Oh, is that you, Estelle? I'm sorry, have we met? I owe a lot to the people of the Halidom, so I try to remember as many of your names as possible. Here for a vacation swimsuit, I take it? I must admit, I'm rather jealous. That is exactly why I am here. Er, although I'm not actually used to swimwear, so I could use some help. Certainly! Let me see... Ah, yes. This is perfect for you. Mmm... HMMMMM... Do you not like it? Oh, it is a perfectly cute little number. Although perhaps it is...TOO cute? And even a bit childish. Hmm. I hadn't thought of it like that. Ah, I see! Someone is clearly looking to make a romantic impression! What? No! How dare you! Please, there's no need to deny it! You're looking for something sleek and attractive that will enslave the eyes of your special someone! You could not be MORE wrong! I merely think a more mature look is appropriate for one of my age. Say, for example...this. Oh, yes, that one IS lovely. In fact, Julietta said the same when she purchased that model earlier. Julietta already owns this? You have some nerve to wear the same outfit as ME, commoner! Know your place! Okay, that's probably not EXACTLY what she would say, but it's close enough to... BY ILIA, LOOK AT THE PRICE! Ha ha! Yes, that is one of our more aggressively priced swimsuits. Of course, Julietta bought it without so much as batting an eye. Er, yes. Perhaps this suit is not nearly so good as I first thought. What about this one? It seems a person might afford it without needing to mortgage all of their lands and castles. Ah, you have quite the eye for a bargain! Verica would be proud, seeing as how she bought the same one for herself. Wait, WHAT?! Ah, Estelle! Isn't it interesting how the same swimsuit looks different on us? ...SO VERY DIFFERENT. Ack! I don't want people comparing us! Having second thoughts? Er, yes. This one will not do. Show me something...simple. Say, what about this one here? Surely no one has purchased it in the last few minutes? Ha ha ha! Yes, an excellent choice! Why, when Celliera bought it earlier, she said it would be perfect for train— Oh no. The first and last words out of your filthy blowhole will be "Sir"! Now get down and give me a thousand, maggot! If I wear this, I'll spend the entire trip being worked to the bone... Oh, this is hopeless. If I may, why don't you at least give the one I suggested before a try? I really do think it would look stunning on you. Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to at least try it on... You see? It's perfect! I don't disagree, but... (Ugh, this just seems so childish! Is this really what I want to wear on a trip with him?) ...Estelle? ACK! Wh-what are you doing here?! I need to buy a swimsuit, and everyone in the Halidom said this is the place to go. I take it you came for the same reason. Is that your new suit? Well... It's... Umm... It looks good on you. Y-you like swimsuits like this? Well, I think it's best to wear what looks good on you. I'LL TAKE IT! Excellent choice!

Episode 2

What IS Good Behavior?

Look! The ocean! I'm gonna bust this watermelon open with a stick! You look even more stunning in that than usual, darly-poo! Hee! You're so forward, sweetie-yums! ...... What's wrong, Estelle? You look angry. I'm appalled by how badly everyone is behaving. It's even worse than I feared! What do you mean? That child is jumping into the sea without warming up, while that man is preparing to crack open a melon with a giant stick! And just LOOK at that couple who can't keep their hands at their sides! Shameful! Surely I cannot be the only one who feels this way?! We're at a beach, Estelle. I don't think there's any harm in people letting their hair down a little bit. WHAAAAT?! Sure, some people take it too far, but they just need to be gently corrected. That's right—and I know JUST the woman to do the correcting! I must start cracking down on all of these disgraceful acts! Er, that's not exactly what I— It's time to put things right! Estelle, wait! Listen up, everyone! Just because this is summer does NOT mean you can act in any boorish way you please! You there! Stretch properly before attempting to enter the water! M-me?! And you! Don't wave that giant stick around! Just open the melon carefully like a normal person! Uh...but doing it like this is fun. IS IT FUN IF YOU KILL SOMEONE BY ACCIDENT?! Eeek! S-sorry... As for YOU TWO! Eeek! Kindly refrain from unneeded physical contact with others while in public! But we're just holding han— WHICH IS BOTH UNNEEDED AND PHYSICAL CONTACT!! This is so not fair... Whew! That was hard work, but it seems to be paying off. Estelle! What is it, Euden? Look, I know you have your...foibles, but you've gone too far this time. Explain. Just look around you. Hmm? Don't you want to go swim? No. That scary lady will just yell at me again... Guess no one gets to eat watermelon this year... *sigh* This is boring now. I know. Huh?! Your heart is...mostly in the right place, but the beach is where people have fun. Enforcing behavioral standards that take fun away from them doesn't feel right. *sigh* Perhaps you're right. In the end, I was the one who let myself get carried away. I'll go apologize to everyone right now. I REALLY need to do something about how emotional I get at times. Don't beat yourself up too much. I mean, everyone forgave you, right? Well, yes... So what else is bothering you? I fear I'm finding myself unsure about just what good behavior actually IS. What do you mean? I don't believe what I'm saying to everyone is wrong. Yet you're right in that stopping their fun isn't a good solution either. So what am I to do? Yeah, that's a tough one. But... Yes? Well, at the very least, I think I know what you need right now... Ack! How do you know?! No, never mind! What do I need?! Well... Well? You need to come play with us and just forget your cares! I need to...come...play...wiiiith...

Episode 3

The Importance of Play

It's further to the right, Estelle! It is? Okay! You've gone too far right! Go back to the left! What? Whaaat? No, the other way! Turn around a bit... Okay, now to the right! Are you certain? Don't listen to a word he says! Just keep goin' straight! Oh, for the love of... Whose instructions am I supposed to believe?! There's a pitfall ahead of you! Jump over it! Now you're just lying to me! Take one step to the right... That's it! Now swing your stick down! Here goes! You did it! I...I did? Yep. You cracked that watermelon clean in half. Yay! Everybody gather 'round and dig in! Oh, but save the big chunk for Estelle. I know you've never done this before, but this IS pretty fun, yeah? It certainly is! What are you doing up there on that pile of sand? It's a game! Pretty much like King of the Mountain, but you can only push with your hands. Speaking of which...you're up! Wait, me?! Yep! You and I are gonna wrestle and see who comes out on top! But that sounds dangerous! Aw, it's just sand—plus it's only as high as our knees. You'll be fine! But... Come on! You can do this, Estelle! Teach that Luca a lesson he'll not soon forget! Fine then! I'll do it! Get ready, sister... Haaaaah! Eeek! I'll get you for that! Nice! But I'm a pro when it comes to games, so you'll have to do better! I'll have you know, I was quite the little tomboy as a child. Whoa! Hah! Haaaah! Whoa! Whoooooa! Aaaaargh... Yes! I did it! Nicely done, Estelle! Whew... You look exhausted. Heh. I suppose I am. I'm not surprised—they've really been keeping you busy. Yes, but I still had a lot of fun. Good! I was a little worried you were only playing along because you felt pressured to. Not at all. At first, of course, I was a little reluctant, but before I knew it, I was enjoying myself. Still... Hmm? What is it? You said that what I really needed was to play with all of you and just forget my cares, right? But I'm not certain how that meshes with my concerns about good behavior. Well, you broke open a watermelon, right? I did. And you touched Luca while you were playing King of the Mountain, right? Yes, I did that as well. Which means you did things you said were inappropriate and dangerous before. Are you appalled at your own behavior? W-well, I suppose not... Then maybe those things aren't quite so bad as you first thought. Perhaps you're right. I think you just didn't know how much fun the beach could be. That's why you weren't able to draw a line between what's done for fun and what isn't. You didn't know what was good and what was bad, so you just defaulted to thinking of EVERYTHING as bad. ...By Ilia, I think you're right. How did I not realize that before? But now that you know what it feels like to have fun, you won't have that problem. I pray you are right. If you're still not feeling confident, that just means you need to hang out with us even MORE. Huh? Estelle! Where's my rematch?! I'M GONNA TAKE YOU DOWN! Go on. It's okay. ...Really. ...Coming, Luca! But don't be mad when I defeat you yet again!

Episode 4

Protecting the Peace

Crivens, we made it to the ocean! Time to let loose and have us some fun. But first we gotta get us some grub. ...Oy! Girlie! Gimme that! Sorry, but you'll need to wait in line like everyone else is doing. Like hell we will! 'Sides, if you was doin' yer job better, there wouldn't BE no line what to wait in! I'll be takin' this now! Hey! That's my order! Ya say somethin' there, little man?! N-no! It was nothing! I'm sorry! Ho there, cutie! What say ya ditch that scrawny fool yer with and come spend some time with a couple'a REAL men? What?! Hey! That's my girlfriend! And she deserves way better'n you! Baaaa ha ha ha! C'mon, sweet thing. We'll show ya what a good time REALLY looks like! LET ME GO! Quit whinin' and make with the keepin' us company already! Stop right there, scumbags! Huh? Who's that? I will not tolerate this a moment longer. You two need to learn how to BEHAVE! Behave? Baaaa ha ha ha! This ain't no place for BEHAVIN'! What did you just say? We're at the beach, ya daft idjit! This is where a man can let loose and do just as he pleases! We gots to behave everywhere else, but in this place, anything goes! The beach is about causin' trouble, so it is! If ya wanna be lecturin' folks on decency, save it for church! Ain't no one here what cares about yer damn morality. You are correct—few people here are focused on good behavior. And most of them would likely not welcome anyone trying to enforce it. Exactly! 'Sides, who died and made YOU the one what judges good behavior? That's... Forget yer morality and crap and let it all hang out. That there's the BEACH! Maybe ya wouldn't be so uptight what if ya joined us for a bit, mmm? ...No. Guh? You're wrong. Everyone has come to enjoy their time here. Which is why they don't give two cow farts 'bout yer preachin'! But your boorish selfishness prevents everyone else from HAVING fun! Surely you must see that! If you give no thought to behaving, people cannot enjoy things they otherwise would. You asked who died and made me the judge of good behavior, and perhaps you have something of a point... But I will still do everything I can to safeguard the ability of others to have fun and enjoy themselves! Oh, ENOUGH! We ain't come all this way just to listen to some goody two-shoes yammer on and on! Yer right. That IS enough. Huh? Sorry we took so long, Estelle. Well, I am VERY glad to see all of you. Who the hell're you guys? Wait a sec... Yer Ranzal! The mercenary! If ya know me, then ya know how grumpy I get what when folks start messin' with my friends. I, uh...forgot somethin' in my wagon. Gotta go! And I, uh...left the fireplace on! Later! You did great, Estelle. I did nothing. Hey, what's wrong? Did I go overboard? Was I just ruining people's fun again? Estelle, look around you. Hmm? Way to sock it to those thugs, young lady! Thank you SO much! See? Oh... You're the best, Estelle!

Episode 5

Cave Confessions

Okay! What should we do next? I can't believe you still have so much energy after everything we've... Huh? What is it, Euden? ...Oh, are these raindrops? I got a feelin' those clouds mean business. Whoa! It's really coming down! Let's take shelter in that cave until it clears up. *sigh* Ugh. I'm soaked. Well, of course you are. We've been frolicking in the sea. Ha ha, I guess you've got a point. ...Huh. Where did everyone else go? Looks like we were separated in our rush to escape the rain. But I wouldn't worry—I'm sure they're all dry and warm somewhere nearby. You're probably right. I suppose we'll just wait it out here until the rain lets up. Er, but aren't you going to get even wetter if you stay there? Maybe, but only a little. Don't worry about it. Oh, don't be absurd. Come closer before you catch your death. Heh. All right. ...You really are something. What do you mean? You're clearly trying to stand somewhere that will shield me from the rain. That's just a coincidence. You're also a terrible liar. How did you know? Because I know you're the kind of person who is always putting others' needs first. It's something I respect greatly about you. I think you're overselling me. Not at all. In fact, I've learned a tremendous amount from you. As a preacher, I'm usually the one teaching others—but with you, it's the other way around. I've learned a lot from you as well. You have? Sure. For example, you're always focused on what you want to achieve, and you're not afraid to own up to your mistakes. That's been in important lesson for me, and also something of an inspiration. It's also why I know you'll always end up finding the right answer. Oh, I don't know about that... You just did it earlier when you were worrying about your behavior with those two thugs on the beach. For what it's worth, I think your final conclusion was a good one. I'm happy that you think so highly of me, but I think you're wrong in this case. Wrong about what? The reason I told those two off earlier wasn't because I was concerned about good behavior. It was...um... It was because I didn't want anyone getting in the way of my fun with... Um... Yes? It was because I didn't want anyone getting in the way of my fun with you! ...There. I said it. I wasn't really worried about other people's happiness in that moment— I was only thinking about my own. I see. Does that lower your opinion of me down a peg or three? Not at all. In fact, I feel the same. Wait, then you...?! Yes! Then we are...! I don't want anyone interrupting the fun I'm having with you, Elisanne, Ranzal, or anyone else! ...Huh? It's also the same reason I fight— so I can bring happiness to people all across the world. *siiiigh* Okay, what's that about? Never mind. I knew from the start the kind of person you are, so I have no one to blame here but myself. I'm just a fool for getting my hopes up. Okay, I'm really lost here. But let me give you a warning. Uh oh. This sounds ominous. I think it's wonderful that you have such a grand goal in mind for the entire world. I really do. But you must also pay attention to things that are happening right in front of you. I'm not following. Well, I'm certainly not going to explain it to you further! Why not? ...We should go look for the others. What about the rain? It stopped raining ages ago, you fool man! Oh, hey. You're right. ...Estelle? Estelle! Wait for me!
