To get with Tim Tamaya in the end, do you need to ignore all other girls?

I don't know. Perhaps. I'm guessing the alignment variable is at least partially responsible for Minvi and Tim Timaya endings. Ours isn't that great, judging by the priest checks.

I'm still likely going for the Minardi end since we're this far already.

Guickcure rose to a yellow relationship status.

【Blow Strengthening】 A skill that makes the whole body bounce like a spring and jumps over, giving damage to multiple enemies. Give medium damage to one enemy line. Required work points: 5

Same as the old one, but more damage.

xiAqE0P.png


Strangely enough, Lorimleara levelled up too. I thought you needed a nightly visit for that, but guess not.

【Rotating Payment】 A technique of damaging multiple enemies by pounding enemies with powerful armor of Lorimulea. For all enemies of avant garde, medium damage. Required work points: 7

She can now attack all enemies in the front row in a single turn.

This leaves only Suu in our party green...





I decided to go for Sandrake since the dialogue there felt mildly interesting.

d30HWT2.png
Sandrake, are you there?

2V00egs.png
Oh! Jamrock, is it? Come in!

A merry-sounding voice greeted me from inside the room.​

CLBIbVG.png


2V00egs.png
Heya! Don't leave me idle so much! My body's going to weaken.

d30HWT2.png
...Sorry.

2V00egs.png
...I wasn't expecting a serious answer to that.

d30HWT2.png
...Really?

2V00egs.png
...You need to do something about that overly serious attitude of yours.

2V00egs.png
By the way, Jamrock. If you're not busy, how about killing time with me?

d30HWT2.png
Mm... Right...

  1. Stay to talk.
  2. Leave for today.

d30HWT2.png
Right... I guess I could stay for a bit.

2V00egs.png
Yeah.

d30HWT2.png
................

2V00egs.png
Mm? What's up?

d30HWT2.png
Ah, nothing much. I was just thinking that, if I had a big brother, it'd be something like this.

2V00egs.png
Hahhahhah! That's a good thought!

2V00egs.png
But wouldn't having a big brother like me be a big bother?

:whistles:

d30HWT2.png
You think so? You seem of the type who'd take care of others.

2V00egs.png
Well... Nah... Actually, I have a little sister at home...

d30HWT2.png
Oh? That's new to me.

2V00egs.png
She's ten years younger than me. When she was finally starting to understand her surroundings, I was already busy with my job.

A nubile little sister? Why haven't you introduced us already?

2V00egs.png
Every time I go back home, she says "You're making me worry all the time" or the like to me. Well, with this line of work, that's not surprising...

2V00egs.png
Yet, I still can't stop doing this job of mine. I can't say I'm a good big brother to her.

d30HWT2.png
...If she's worrying about you... That means you are a good big brother.

2V00egs.png
...Heheh, aren't you just trying to butter me up? ~~~

d30HWT2.png
If you weren't one, she wouldn't worry about you, right?

2V00egs.png
Well, that's nice if true...

2V00egs.png
By the way, don't you have any siblings yourself, Jamrock?

Sandrake added hastily, as if to hide his embarrassment.​

bvYS3sd.png


d30HWT2.png
...No, I don't.

d30HWT2.png
...But, well, I did have someone who was like a big sister to me...

2V00egs.png
Ah, right... Tim Timaya, was it?

d30HWT2.png
...Yeah.

A tinge of pain hit my heart.​

d30HWT2.png
It seems I've lost everything already...

2V00egs.png
...What do you mean? Tim Timaya's still...

d30HWT2.png
No, I meant that -- I was thinking that those days would go on forever back then.

2V00egs.png
...Alrighty then, Jamrock. If you could go back to those times, what are you going to do then?

d30HWT2.png
..................

d30HWT2.png
Hmm...

d30HWT2.png
If I could go back to that day...

d30HWT2.png
I'd return to Zaurusride in any way possible, I'm sure, and protect Dad, and Mum, and Tim Timaya...

2V00egs.png
...The enemy there was pretty formidable, no? Would you go back, even if it meant that you'd die?

d30HWT2.png
...Yes. Even if I'd die.

2V00egs.png
...Then, I'm of the opinion that it was a good thing that you weren't in the village that day.

d30HWT2.png
Don't make fun of this! I'm not telling you this as a joke...

I suddenly raised my voice.​

Er, 'don't make fun of this' is a really poor translation, but I can't find an equivalent with the correct tone, which should be roughly one step away from swearing.

2V00egs.png
................

Sandrake stood looking there at me for a while, and then finally opened his mouth.​

2V00egs.png
Listen, Jamrock.

Sandrake started to speak, strangely in a tone that said that he really wanted me to understand what he was about to say.​

2V00egs.png
If you wanted to protect them so much that you yourself would die for it, do you mean that they were that important to you?

d30HWT2.png
...Yeah.

2V00egs.png
Your father and mother, the ones you think so highly of, I'm sure would prefer not to have been saved.

d30HWT2.png
.......................

2V00egs.png
They wouldn't even hope that their kid would save them. They'd rather save you any time possible.

2V00egs.png
...That's what being a parent is like.

d30HWT2.png
.....................

2V00egs.png
Well, there are some deadbeat parents around too, but I guess yours weren't like that?

d30HWT2.png
Mm... Yeah, they weren't...

d30HWT2.png
But...

2V00egs.png
...Hm?

d30HWT2.png
...I'm still thinking that you're indeed a good big brother...

2V00egs.png
...Well...

2V00egs.png
...Hey, Jamrock.

d30HWT2.png
Mm?

2V00egs.png
Let's handle this Order thing.

d30HWT2.png
Yeah... Of course.

2V00egs.png
Just don't slip up somehow and die on the way. I don't want that.

d30HWT2.png
...That's an interesting way of putting it.

GT: Do not tell me a lot about the noise.

2V00egs.png
Heheh, if someone like you ends up dead, my life won't have the same ring to it.

d30HWT2.png
...I'll take that as a compliment.

2V00egs.png
Hahah! See you later!





Priest says:

yDgBVZX.png
I think that you actually acted in a positive light.

yDgBVZX.png
Also, in my assessment, you handled the situations calmly.





Sleep.

W0uXyEE.png


d30HWT2.png
...Phew...

I breathed a deep sigh as I laid down on the bed.​

d30HWT2.png
Two more days, eh...

It irritated me that we still did not know the location for the ceremony.​

d30HWT2.png
Tim Timaya... Minvi... Where on earth are you?

..................​

d30HWT2.png
Come to think of it...

Today... When Saraii was about to kill me...​

Suddenly, out of nowhere, the roar of gunshots. And then, Saraii dead on the ground.​

d30HWT2.png
................

Guns, eh...​

The scene I saw in Old Comet crossed my mind.​

d30HWT2.png
..................

That was the only time I've seen guns recently.​

I wonder, did that have some sort of meaning?​

Or... was it just a coincidence?​

I can't imagine guns to be easy to acquire, in the first place...​

Who... on earth would...?​

d30HWT2.png
Tim Timaya...?

I felt that it was a bit of a leap to make, but if we assume that she needs to conceal herself to help, then it would make sense that she or her messenger would...​

d30HWT2.png
..................

After reflecting on it for a bit, I eventually laid the thought to rest.​

There's just not enough information to work on. If the best conjectures I can come up with are no better than mere guesses, it is best to abandon the thought.​

Anyway... We need to find the location for the ceremony by tomorrow, or our whole journey will come to nothing.​

GT: Anyway ... If it is one day tomorrow, if you do not know the location of the ceremonial venue, everything will be attributed to the foam ...

I decided to try sleeping, for tomorrow's sake...​

dmyM8Sz.png


All right, let's head to the chapel to prepare for the departure.​

54Ge35Q.png


fQlywRI.png
Good morning, Jamrock-san.

d30HWT2.png
...Yeah.

d30HWT2.png
One more day left... We need to find a lead today...

fQlywRI.png
About that. I think we can ask a contact of me and Tim Timaya. She's called Elimiran.

d30HWT2.png
Elimiran?

fQlywRI.png
Yes. She is an old claw lady living in the hamlet of Shielmunai, not far from here... She should be keeping contact with Tim Timaya.

d30HWT2.png
That's very reassuring if true...

fQlywRI.png
We arranged a meeting for today beforehand for a situation like this.

d30HWT2.png
You came surprisingly well prepared.

fQlywRI.png
We must not fail, that's why...

d30HWT2.png
...That's right.

d30HWT2.png
All right, that's our last hope then. Let's head there then.

d30HWT2.png
So, what is this hamlet of Shielmunai like?

fQlywRI.png
Yes. It is a fairly large hamlet of claw people, surrounded by a forest.

fQlywRI.png
In the hamlet, there is a large bottomless marsh, and on its bank, there is a stone mansion.

fQlywRI.png
The stone mansion is free to access, and the arrangement is to meet Elimiran, our contact, there.

d30HWT2.png
All right... We need to get some information on the ceremony's location, no matter what it takes!

B4tEUFo.png


Not sure how you can have marshland halfway up a mountain, but whatever.

You know, we haven't heard of the church at all recently. They mentioned that they had a traitor in their midst but that was many pages ago. I wonder what's cooking there.

8VdPdGw.png


Remember this guy? He's the last contact we had with the church.

I mean, last contact apart from the fact that we sleep there each night...

DAY THIRTEEN

GpiCAfW.png
Jamrock-san, you seem down this morning...

d30HWT2.png
Hm? Really?

fQlywRI.png
Jamrock-san. Let's move with confidence. Don't worry, I know you can save the girls.

d30HWT2.png
Yeah. I'll definitely save them!

Do these lines actually have some purpose to them? (Have I asked this before?)

d30HWT2.png
The members of the exploration team come along with me, and the rest are on standby at the local temple church. Come, let's depart!

kQWW2r2.png


HAMLET OF SHIELMUNAI



XCKN0jA.png


d30HWT2.png
So this is the hamlet of Shielmunai...

The place, densely surrounded by trees, felt more like a handful of houses next to a forest path than a hamlet.​

fQlywRI.png
Elimiran, waiting at the stone mansion here, should know the location for the ceremony.

d30HWT2.png
...That's right. Let's head there.





But one step in, and someone already bumps into us.

Lscj6kk.png
Uwawawawa!?

d30HWT2.png
...!?

*thud*​

The sudden impact I felt turned out to be a young claw man.​

DipwrXz.png


WKmHrXG.png
ウエイ、トイフテ! (Oops, sorry!)

d30HWT2.png
メイシ、カゼンマラ? (No worries. But why such a rush?)

WKmHrXG.png
ヤ、アンハイセマジャダトラン、ニカデヘイチシテン。 (Oh! Some order called Dark something suddenly marched into the village, took all the women and children hostage and barricaded themselves in the stone mansion!)

d30HWT2.png
シテンリ!? (In the stone mansion!?)

WKmHrXG.png
エ、タメヤチャフラデゼンリシンシ、カチシチャンフシ。 (Yeah. I heard they demand that the villagers all become believers to their cause. The chief is currently trying to negotiate with them.)

WKmHrXG.png
ヤ、フィナチ、チャヤガイチ。ワンヤ。 (Oh, right. I was in a hurry! I must go ask for help!)

The man left in great hurry.​

fQlywRI.png
Jamrock-san! Let's go there!

d30HWT2.png
Yeah...

The Order and their strange antics... *shakes head*

Off to the stone mansion then.





Y6FBx69.png


d30HWT2.png
...?

I saw some claw people gathering where the marsh along the road had grown wide.​

pi90ty0.png
ナリ、ヘイシデシャ・・・ (Held inside that place...)

PbkyJFu.png
ヘトイデシ・・・リゼマラ・・・ (Poor fellows... Can we somehow help...)

d30HWT2.png
So that is the stone mansion Dark, Blood, and Claw have shut themselves in...

d30HWT2.png
I wonder whether Elimiran is in there too?

fQlywRI.png
Yes... Probably...

d30HWT2.png
What should we do about it...

wLhFP28.png


After thinking about it a while, I...​

  1. Bulldoze our way through
  2. Find the representative in this village
  3. Abandon the plan to get information

Silly choices.

d30HWT2.png
...That's right... We should talk to the representative of this village first...

d30HWT2.png
Anyway... Now that that's decided, we don't need to be here any more...

We're off to find the chief.





*knock knock*​

シヒデチュジチュアンヤシャチュア。ヨンナリヒニエ。 (There's a small boat at the pier in the west. Use that, and enter the mansion from the rear.)

vEz2gjp.png
ゼンカチバジイシャ・・・ (How about it? Can you do it?)

d30HWT2.png
..................

3PLFID5.png


  1. Accept the proposal.
  2. Decline the proposal.

Er. More strange choices. Why would we decline?

d30HWT2.png
・・・ミンハイ。 (...All right.)

vEz2gjp.png
アイ、ゲシュカバ!! (Oh! I didn't think you'd do it.)

vEz2gjp.png
ナ、イホカバ・・・ (I must go now...)

Ainteika left the place with a serious expression on his face.​

d30HWT2.png
All right... Guess we should go too...





At the pier...

hNMU0Qg.png


d30HWT2.png
...All right, let's go...

2V00egs.png
...Hey, Jamrock.

d30HWT2.png
...What's wrong?

2V00egs.png
Must I come too?

d30HWT2.png
...Of course.

2V00egs.png
Well... I just can't stand boats...

d30HWT2.png
..................

2V00egs.png
All right, all right. I'll come. Don't make that face.

vQEWDUB.png


The boat propelled forth over the water easier than I thought.​

Progressing towards the shore while being wary of making any splashing sounds, I caught sight of chief Ainteika entering the stone mansion.​

After a short while of rowing, the shore by the stone mansion came closer...​

iRtbjd6.png


d30HWT2.png
...Good... It seems they didn't notice us...

Fortunately, they had not posted any watchmen, so there were no enemies to welcome us.​

2V00egs.png
I can't see any enemies near the entrance...

d30HWT2.png
.................

We bated our breaths, and entered the stone mansion.​

WKTfbco.png


N5isL2q.png
...!!

d30HWT2.png
...!

I drew the sword from my back.​

5TlrGRU.png


Yay, minimal fight with regular masked claw people, just like in the old days.





d30HWT2.png
Over, eh... But, what else will lie ahead of us...

d30HWT2.png
We should free the prisoners quickly...





The next step we take...

nNXea6i.png
*hisssss*

It seems several masked claw people had heard the disturbance, and headed straight this way.​

I took a better handle of my drawn sword...​

LUKDaHe.png


Just like the old days...





d30HWT2.png
...Let's hurry. We've not a moment to waste any more.

Lscj6kk.png
シェイ? ツンデレ? (Who's there? Are you from the village?)

d30HWT2.png
...?

I suddenly heard a voice from our right.​

d30HWT2.png
Over here?

The door was locked from the outside.​

But the lock was not very sturdy.​

I knocked on the lock gently with the handle of my sword.​

*clash*​

The lock fell off with a dull sound, easier than I expected.​

d30HWT2.png
All right... Let's go in.

giBB4IK.png


oROaF7F.png
シュライダマ? (Did you come here to save us?)

d30HWT2.png
ト、クアイトンデ。 (Yeah. Quickly now.)

oROaF7F.png
カンシニ。ナゾウ! (Thank you! All right, let's go!)

z4s3gfM.png
シニ! カンシニ、クチ! (Yeah! Thank you, mister!)

YTeiRGp.png


After many claw people had left, there was only one old claw woman left.​

d30HWT2.png
...?

NemBEg5.png
You are Jamrock, right?

The old claw lady spoke in Standard Altian.​

Thank you. I was getting tired of the green text.

d30HWT2.png
...! Are you Elimiran?

NemBEg5.png
That's right. I have heard the situation from Tim Timaya.

d30HWT2.png
...Wait a bit. We are not finished with this place yet. It's better to talk after that.

NemBEg5.png
All right. I will wait at the front; come when you are ready.

d30HWT2.png
Okay.

NemBEg5.png
Good-bye then.

And then, Elimiran too left this place.​

d30HWT2.png
We're only halfway done after freeing these prisoners...

You just let your last hope leave unattended. Was that really a good idea?





We move a bit forward again... and hear someone talking in the room to our left.

We carefully opened the door, and entered the room.​

KKV4vIX.png


Inside the room was a claw people sandwich!​

Inside the room, chief Ainteika was surrounded by masked claw people.​

vEz2gjp.png
...!

N5isL2q.png
...!?

All the eyes were on us now.​

I promptly unsheathed my sword, and wedged myself between Ainteika and the enemies.​

64OU3S1.png


Bigger fight now. Those hypnosis guys I'm afraid of only deal confusion.

Bag of special attacks is open. Jamrock uses Takeshige Killing, and Sandrake uses his Three Generations special attack to hit the whole front row. It does ~85 of damage per enemy, which is like 5-10 times more than an average attack.

Minardi's special attack hits first though, and she gets the whole front row into single-digit HPs, so Sandrake's attack was kind of wasted.

n0ukbVL.png


We have killed the front row, but they managed to confuse three of us.

And Sandrake is immobile now for one turn. That special attack was not a great idea.

However, the confusion does not seem to actually impede us in any way. We can still attack. Strange.

kNFTbiN.png


Turn 3, we're practically done.

d30HWT2.png
...Did we get everyone?

vEz2gjp.png
シ・・・インニハュミンア。 (Yes... You were a great help to me.)

vEz2gjp.png
ホデレメンバ? (What about the imprisoned people?)

d30HWT2.png
メイシ、ナゾウバ。 (They're safe. Go now.)

vEz2gjp.png
ニメマ? (What about you?)

d30HWT2.png
ウメヨヨウシ。 (We have some business to attend to.)

vEz2gjp.png
ナ・・・ホウラウデジ。 (Oh... Then, please visit my house later.)

Chief Ainteika left the place...​

d30HWT2.png
Well then... We should go outside too...

ptNyOkZ.png


NemBEg5.png
So, you managed back safely...

d30HWT2.png
...Yeah.

NemBEg5.png
Then, let's keep it short.

The moment she said so...​

Umain6s.png


NemBEg5.png
...!?

N5isL2q.png
*hissssssssss*

*swoosh*​

d30HWT2.png
Elimiran!?

Oh for crying out loud...

Elimiran had suddenly been attacked, and I rushed over to her.​

GT: I suddenly attacked Elimiran, in a panic.

d30HWT2.png
Are you all right!?

NemBEg5.png
The ceremony is at the side of Mount Baidarom...

NemBEg5.png
..............

And with that, Elimiran breathed her last...​

d30HWT2.png
Damn!

I drew my sword, and was about to slice the enemy in half...​

N5isL2q.png
...guh!

*thump*​

The claw person suddenly collapsed.​

d30HWT2.png
...?

In his now-exposed back were etched deep claw marks.​

3XfDYZg.png


kEySmVj.png
トシユショウダ・・・ (What a disgrace...)

And behind him, stood a one-eyed claw person.​

fQlywRI.png
Badrusso!

ツイホウダチュユ・・・ (Last warning.)

ウガイカティムデカンシ・・・ (I must fulfil Tim's wish.)

kEySmVj.png
...All right. I won't ask again.

d30HWT2.png
................

kEySmVj.png
I could have left you alone until you showed up at the ceremony...

kEySmVj.png
But now that we have met, I must fight you.

kEySmVj.png
"The next time we meet, we'll have a proper test of your mettle", I said.

d30HWT2.png
...Yeah, you did.

kEySmVj.png
Unfortunate that it's not one-on-one... I'll be waiting for you at the bridge. Come when you are ready.

d30HWT2.png
All right.

Not sure why the game gave us this pause. We can either move south to the bridge, or enter the empty mansion again. There's no 'go back with the boat' option.

d30HWT2.png
All right. Let's go settle the issue with Badrusso now!

UkRIuva.png


kEySmVj.png
..................

Badrusso stood there silently waiting for us.​

kEySmVj.png
So, you've come...

d30HWT2.png
...Yeah.

kEySmVj.png
Before we fight, I have something to ask of you.

d30HWT2.png
...?

kEySmVj.png
What are you fighting for?

d30HWT2.png
...What do you mean?

kEySmVj.png
It's not like you haven't been near death just once or twice before you've gotten this far... Yet, you keep fighting us.

kEySmVj.png
Is it for the sake of the Kingdom of Altia, who are after you?

kEySmVj.png
A normal person would just try to escape the country...

d30HWT2.png
..................

NetaVhg.png


Badrusso stood there watching me.​

  1. For Minvi and the others.
  2. To clear my name.
  3. Do not answer.

Let's be a Paragon of Order this time.

d30HWT2.png
For Minvi and the others.

kEySmVj.png
................

kEySmVj.png
That is in my opinion no comparison to how many claw people you humans have oppressed.

d30HWT2.png
It's not a question of numbers.

d30HWT2.png
I just do not want a repeat of the time I lost Tim Timaya.

kEySmVj.png
...And that's the reason you continue your irrational behaviour?

d30HWT2.png
It still is not a good reason to sacrifice Minvi.

Sorry if those previous lines are non-sequiturish. Having trouble with them.

kEySmVj.png
...That is a fair argument... But, it is not what a soldier should say.

d30HWT2.png
We're the only ones who should die in this war...

kEySmVj.png
...You're right...

kEySmVj.png
The dirty work... should be confined to us soldiers only...

kEySmVj.png
It was foolish of me to ask... Well... Shall we start, with the dirty work?

As Badrusso and the others stood ready, I slowly drew my sword.​

Both watching closely each other's movements, I could feel the tension flow through the place.​

kEySmVj.png
...Let's go!

Badrusso put on a mask, and approached us.​

(And so Badrusso becomes a mere palette-shifted version of the standard mook.)

VNsbOcg.png


Wolves. I did not expect wolves.

I noticed that Shamirnarsa's special attack can target any enemy. I use that to take out the dangerous pouch guy on the first turn.

The others focus on ridding the wolves so we can reach the back row.

UQXl7U5.png


Turn 3, we reach the back row. Minardi is kind of low on hit points.

Sandrake uses his super attack on everyone. The whip guys only have 40 hit points and succumb to it.

Badrusso, however, has 200 hit points.

TQD33LQ.png


He has high defence or something because our standard attacks (except Sandrake's) don't really scratch him. But the specials do quite passable damage.

He, on the other hand, does around 35 hp of damage on each attack.

MDADk1z.png


Minardi is one hit away from fainting, but we manage to finish the battle before Badrusso's turn comes.

x3tRSee.png


d30HWT2.png
.................

kEySmVj.png
Admirable feat, Jamrock... We lost...

Badrusso had taken his mask off and did not try to hide the pain he was in.​

d30HWT2.png
..................

kEySmVj.png
I'll leave Tim Timaya... and the future of the claw people... to you.

d30HWT2.png
...!?

I extended my arm quickly, but was not in time.​

Badrusso suddenly had thrown himself into the marsh.​

d30HWT2.png
................

fQlywRI.png
...Badrusso...

"I'll leave Tim Timaya, and the future of the claw people to you", eh?​

JzpUVKS.png
Jamrock...

d30HWT2.png
...What's wrong, Minardi?

JzpUVKS.png
Ah... Never mind.

d30HWT2.png
...............

Badrusso... I do not have the strength to live up to your ideals. ~~~

Now, we have to head for Mount Baidarom...​

Let's keep our minds on that...​

d30HWT2.png
..................

We left the place...​





Well, that's the end of the scenario. The chief asked us to visit.

One claw woman thanked us for saving them, and when we mentioned that the Order was supposedly working for the claw people, she responded that if they need force to do that, they're no better than humans. (She promptly realised she was talking to a human and apologised...)

I guess I'll translate the conversation with the chief, though it doesn't feel very important.

*knock knock*​

Minardi :4/5:

Shamirnarsa :4/5:

Everybody happy.

I'll just end this update with a picture of some leeches that attacked us.

I noticed that the game had skipped one nightly visit with Sandrake. (That visit included drinking; the one I translated above didn't.) That lead me to believe that the visits' content primarily depends on the relationship level.

I had been ignoring Shamirnarsa et al because the first visits were very bare, maybe fifty lines at most. Not very interesting. But currently, the relationship level with her is better which means that the game skipped over the first visit.

Sandrake's visit includes him getting very drunk and we get a CG there.

Minardi's visit is clearly filler sex, so let's ignore that.

Shamirnarsa's visit is about her worrying about whether we'll succeed in our quest. And probably something else I don't quite remember.

Anyway, I was thinking of going with Lorimleara tonight. You'll see why.

Sandrake reached the level cap. If it can be called such.

[Shuffle full throttle] Because of the fighting, it is a large attack technique that releases it all at once. It is effective against all the front rows of the enemy, but after releasing the skill to rigid, it becomes impossible to move two turns. Required work points: 9

With Shuffle Full Throttle... I forgot what the previous special attacks claimed to do, but Sandrake is immobile for two whole turns afterwards, so I guess it deals more damage or something.

a0ea2Pz.png


Shamirnarsa gained a level too.

【Tenryu Bullet】 A technique to throw explosive bags containing explosives and give damage to enemies. Damage from one enemy to the whole is great. Required work point: 7

Explosive pouches that deal a great amount of damage.





So, Lorimleara, as promised.

I knocked on Lorimleara's door...​

d30HWT2.png
It's me, Jamrock. Do you have time?

After a short pause, I received a response from the room.​

v7DvmTZ.png
Ah... Yeah! Come in, it's open!

d30HWT2.png
All right.

4ggowIU.png


v7DvmTZ.png
Right, Jamrock... You didn't take me along today.

d30HWT2.png
Ah, yeah, that's right...

v7DvmTZ.png
Bah... I wanted you to take me along!

v7DvmTZ.png
Take me with next time!

v7DvmTZ.png
By the way...

Suddenly, Lorimleara seemed to be smiling... no, grinning? And then she approached me.​

...I'm vaguely getting a bad feeling about this...​

v7DvmTZ.png
Ufufufu...

With this hunch eroding my confidence, I...​

  1. Stay here.
  2. I have things to do.

On the other hand, I doubt I'm going to end up being eaten here... ~~

I decided to stay with Lorimleara for a bit longer.​

d30HWT2.png
What?

v7DvmTZ.png
Ufufu... Nothing.

d30HWT2.png
The atmosphere here tells otherwise.

v7DvmTZ.png
Aren't you just imagining it?

d30HWT2.png
...Really?

v7DvmTZ.png
Yeah. Just your imagination!

d30HWT2.png
................

v7DvmTZ.png
...Eei!

jqbj7Yt.png


d30HWT2.png
H--Hey!?

v7DvmTZ.png
Eheheh... I got you now!

I was pinned down on the bed before I had realised what had happened.​

v7DvmTZ.png
Hey, Jamrock... Your heart's beating fast, right?

d30HWT2.png
Well, that's because you startled me...

v7DvmTZ.png
Humm...

v7DvmTZ.png
My heart's beating fast too. Because, I'm going to have sex with you now!

d30HWT2.png
H--hey?

v7DvmTZ.png
Fufu... Jamrock, you're so cute!

v7DvmTZ.png
I'll... do the work, so you can just keep lying there...

d30HWT2.png
That's not... what I...

v7DvmTZ.png
If you... really don't want it... If you really hate me... I'll stop, okay?

d30HWT2.png
...................

v7DvmTZ.png
Ehehe... I love you, Jamrock...

Lorimleara's hand slowly caressed my body.​

With smooth movements, she started to undress me...​

v7DvmTZ.png
*chuckle*

When her hands reached my hips, Lorimleara chuckled quietly.​

v7DvmTZ.png
You seem quite ready too, right?

d30HWT2.png
...I'm not that old and withered, to not get a response in a situation like this...

v7DvmTZ.png
Eheheh...

And then, more nimbly than I had thought, she had removed all of my clothes.​

v7DvmTZ.png
...Yours is... big... no?

d30HWT2.png
Er... I haven't spent time comparing it...

v7DvmTZ.png
Somehow... just by looking at it, I'm getting wet.

Saying that, Lorimleara started to undo her clothes too.​

d30HWT2.png
Hey?

v7DvmTZ.png
Didn't I tell you? I'll do the work... You can stay put.

Once she was done undoing her clothes, she lowered her hips on my myself...​

OrlWW4D.png


v7DvmTZ.png
...

At the tip of me, I feel the feeling of the secretary of Lorimulea, which is in the middle of the opened leg.​

Chut ...​

A warm, soft touch like a lip attachment to a myself stuck in ...​

v7DvmTZ.png
Ah ... hard ...

v7DvmTZ.png
inserted ... ......Jam lock ...

In a slightly moist eyes, I said so, Lorimreala just dropped down ...​

Zuzuzu ...​

v7DvmTZ.png
Ah ... fa ah ...

As I am surrounded by soft mucous membranes, sighs leak out of the lips of Lorimremarer so that they breathe out that much air.​

v7DvmTZ.png
Ah ... properly ... It is coming deep ... ..............................

Suzuki ... Chuku ...​

v7DvmTZ.png
Ah ... Fufa ...Kuun ...

Gishigishishi ...​

Nature, Lorimureala began to move his waist.​

Zuc ...Chukuku ...Suzukushu ...​

v7DvmTZ.png
Ah ... wow ... Jam Rock ...somehow ...inside ....as if you all know ...feeling ..............

Zuc ...Chukuku ...​

Ridiculous ...​

d30HWT2.png
Cho ...Wait a moment ...

v7DvmTZ.png
What ... is not it anymore?

d30HWT2.png
Not so ...The bed is broken ...

v7DvmTZ.png
Anne ..I'm fine ... maybe ...

v7DvmTZ.png
More than that ... .Jam Rock ......move ... ...

d30HWT2.png
...Ah ...

For a light appeal, I move the body.​

Kurt ...​

v7DvmTZ.png
Hunter! !

The voice overlaps with the sound that I myself rubbed through the Lorimulea.​

Tsu ... ... Kuchu ...​

v7DvmTZ.png
........Kuun ...

From the hand that is pressing the breasts of herself, an elegant nipple is peeping.​

v7DvmTZ.png
More ...intense ......

In response to the voice of Lorimremarer who is asleep with the voice that she was shy, I will stifle her waist more strongly to Lorimremarer.​

Suzuki ...Chubu ...................​

v7DvmTZ.png
Ha ha ..! Huh! Wow ...

v7DvmTZ.png
jam rock ...more ...full ...

Lolimreala himself also moves her waist according to my movement while saying it to a break ...​

v7DvmTZ.png
Ah ... Jam Rock ... step by step ... It's growing ... I feel ...

While smiling happily, Lorimurea says between each other's collision.​

Zucchi ...Cutie ...stuff ...​

v7DvmTZ.png
Hanging ...Cut ...

The inside of the vagina of Lorimulea, trying to wrap me, is contrary to intense movements and engraved as if it is not going to be released.​

v7DvmTZ.png
Ah ... ...fa ...

Sometimes sweet things mix in the voice in step by step.​

Tutu ... ... chubby ........​

v7DvmTZ.png
Aha ... Hey ... Jam Rock ...Do you want to go?

d30HWT2.png
........ah ...

I quietly respond to the question of abrupt Lorimulea.​

v7DvmTZ.png
... I ... ...

It's chukku ...​

v7DvmTZ.png
.....................

v7DvmTZ.png
Ah ... I ... I already! !

At the same time Lorimulea gave a voice, the vaginal wall that had been hooked on me was tightened up.​

d30HWT2.png
......h! !

v7DvmTZ.png
...! Fa! !

.....Cute ...............​

As squeezed out, semen is poured from my own tip into Lorimulea ...​

Chuku ...​

v7DvmTZ.png
Fuu ...

I lose my hardness, slowly pushing out of Lorimremare ...​

gGfzOdK.png


v7DvmTZ.png
Phew...

v7DvmTZ.png
You were rougher than I expected... It surprised me...

d30HWT2.png
Wasn't it you who suggested that?

v7DvmTZ.png
Huh? Was that how it was?

d30HWT2.png
........................

v7DvmTZ.png
All right then... It's late already, right?

d30HWT2.png
Yeah...

v7DvmTZ.png
Then... shall we sleep now?

d30HWT2.png
Mm... Night then...

v7DvmTZ.png
Huh? Jamrock, aren't you going to sleep here?

d30HWT2.png
...That's not how it works?

v7DvmTZ.png
Bah... Too bad...

d30HWT2.png
See you later then...

v7DvmTZ.png
Yeah! Night!

Let's hope Minardi is jealous now.





yDgBVZX.png
I think that you actually acted in a positive light.

yDgBVZX.png
Also, in my assessment, you handled the situations calmly.

I do wonder where we rank on the alignment scale.

Tim Timaya... Minvi...​

Somehow... This journey feels like it has lasted for years...​

d30HWT2.png
...................

Badrusso's final words found their way into my mind.​

I'll leave the claw people... and Tim Timaya to you...​

d30HWT2.png
I... can't promise that...

I muttered, one last time.​

Just that... I'll do what I am able to, when the time comes...​

rOSTdUT.gif


The first time I came across the word 'meanwhile' was in The Adventures of Willy Beamish.

koNyG64.png
Hum... The bones tell of misfortune... And the stars don't look good either...

koNyG64.png
Almost as if a storm was brewing...

koNyG64.png
Jamrock... Are you all right...? Let's see what the sticks say...

koNyG64.png
................

koNyG64.png
Good grief... Why do I feel so relieved when he's not around? ~~

koNyG64.png
Well, in the end, a fortune's only a fortune... The rest depends on a person's strength...

koNyG64.png
Jamrock... Please keep your guard up...

dmyM8Sz.png


All right, let's head to the chapel to prepare for the departure.​

JGQE3PN.png


fQlywRI.png
Good morning, Jamrock-san. Did you sleep well last night?

d30HWT2.png
...Oh, morning.

fQlywRI.png
The ceremony, at last...

d30HWT2.png
...That's right.

fQlywRI.png
We can expect frequent attacks, needless to say.

fQlywRI.png
And, we won't be going through any populated places before we reach Mount Baidarom, so how about all of us go?

d30HWT2.png
Right... Yeah. Let's all head to Mount Baidarom, then.

fQlywRI.png
Yes!

d30HWT2.png
Wait for us... Minvi... Tim Timaya...

jsjzKBR.png


The new location is aptly named 'Sacrifice place of the Order'.

It sounds better in Japanese.



Oh, by the way. I believe that was the first time in my life I posted an animated gif to a forum. Will this mark a new era?

Things from the prologue that I'd like to know:

eaXfEYq.png


Who is the guy in the toga? He must be fairly important since he's got a sprite of his own.

Also, how come the writing in the prologue was so much better, so much more complex than anything we've had during the adventuring?

Or is it just a question of the format? You need a less tightly-knit style of writing if you give the player control?

The writer, Misasagi Ran, seems to be competent enough though: ten years later, she did the scenario work for Pia Carrot G.P. (which I'd consider a 'major' game).

Well...

Day 14 is long. And almost fully scripted. (Yay?) And lots of images to tell the story.

I think I'm going to split it into much shorter pieces, about the same as my posts were in the prologue. Wouldn't be surprised if it took ten posts to finish it.

The "let's all go" part of the last update was a lie: Halfway through the scenario I'm actually asked to select a party. Any opinions on that? Or should I select at random?

I wonder whether I should go back and select a different night visit for yesterday...

Who knows? Budget? Time costraints? The game seems to be fairly reactive, so maybe it depends on the variety of actions and character responses, as you get different interactions with a different party.

"The games are all set around restaurants in the fictional "Pia Carrot" chain, and most of the female characters are waitresses at these restaurants.The games are all set around restaurants in the fictional "Pia Carrot" chain, and most of the female characters are waitresses at these restaurants."

I seriously doubt this requires "writing skill".

Well...

Get the usual: Not!Rei, Blue-haired Female ClawPerson and the third at random.

Doesn't pink girl put out immediately too?

But why you want to interact with that... fruity thing?

She's still at a yellow relationship level IIRC, so no. Also, she's an early game character, which affects it too.

(By the way, her story goes something like this: She saw Jamrock some years ago while in her travelling circus, and fell in love immediately.)

"The games are all set around restaurants in the fictional "Pia Carrot" chain, and most of the female characters are waitresses at these restaurants.The games are all set around restaurants in the fictional "Pia Carrot" chain, and most of the female characters are waitresses at these restaurants."

I seriously doubt this requires "writing skill".

Was mostly referring to the fact that Pia Carrot is a major series by a heavyweight studio, and it is unlikely that they would put a hack writer in charge of the then-newest instalment.

Though I guess the settings of almost half of all h-games today sound like they don't require much writing skill, as you put it. Yet the writing is still the thing that makes or breaks a game. I'm not going to spend hours reading the damn thing if the writing is inane.

I'm amused by the wikipedia links to 'restaurant' you put there though.

It had something to do with Jamrock's skill with the sword IIRC. Not his good looks.

Sandrake's route is Sandrake being a big brother, while Guickcure's route is Guickcure being a little brother, by the way. Or so I think. I've only read through the first visit in the latter case.

(Oh, by the way, I've never played the Pia Carrot games. They're somewhere on my to-play list though. Pretty low but in there nevertheless.)

[Just posting here in case we manage to bump this thread into the eighth page before I start with day 14, hopefully in a few days. It's not a top priority, but the page loads get slow for me after two days' worth of updates on the same page.]

DAY FOURTEEN

GpiCAfW.png
Come, Jamrock-san, let's head out with our heads held high!

d30HWT2.png
Yeah, we should.

fQlywRI.png
Jamrock-san. Let's move with confidence. Don't worry, I know you can save the girls.

d30HWT2.png
Yeah. I'll definitely save them!

d30HWT2.png
All right, let's all head to Mount Baidarom to save Minvi and Tim Timaya!

UBhzTDR.png


LOCATION FOR THE ORDER'S SACRIFICE



KIH4NE6.png


Come morning, we departed the temple church and for roughly half a day we headed towards the side of Mount Baidarom, towards the place Elimiran had told us of before her death​

Finding the place itself turned out not to be difficult; we asked the people living in the temple church, and soon knew the exact location.​

However, walking up the steep mountain path this far required rather heavy effort, and it was already past noon when we reached the foot of Mount Baidarom​

d30HWT2.png
A bit deeper and we reach the place for the sacrifice, I guess...

All these 'place for the sacrifice' translations feel so goddamn clunky...

GpiCAfW.png
................

d30HWT2.png
According to the letter we received in Gweneba, we should set fire to the storehouse during the ceremony, and cause disorder at the venue...

fQlywRI.png
I do not think that part of the plan has changed.

d30HWT2.png
It took quite a while to come this far though...

fQlywRI.png
In any case, we only need to act after the ceremony has already started...

fQlywRI.png
So we should perhaps rest a bit now.

fGc8cvO.png
Are we going to wait here until the ceremony starts then?

fQlywRI.png
No, we should examine the place a bit from the summit first.

Shamirnarsa's words had no hesitation in them. Indeed, I felt that her suggestion was a wise one.​

d30HWT2.png
...Which way is to the summit?

fQlywRI.png
It's the left fork of the road a bit further from here... But the map is quite old, so I cannot tell for certain.

d30HWT2.png
...All right. Let's head there then for now.





dETc0wq.png


So we follow that fork of the road...

G4QyR7T.png


The path came to an end here.​

d30HWT2.png
Is this the summit then?

fQlywRI.png
Yes, I think it is.

RdozZhL.png
Ah... Oniichan! I see something over there!

d30HWT2.png
...?

O7XCQ7U.png


d30HWT2.png
Is that... the place?

JzpUVKS.png
So that's where... Tim Timaya, and Minvi will be...

Minardi butts into the screen here. It's kind of rare that the characters do that. They usually stay in the dialogue area.

d30HWT2.png
...Yeah...

JzpUVKS.png
..............

JzpUVKS.png
Anyhow... This is the real deal...

JzpUVKS.png
This is where we'll save Tim Timaya and...

JzpUVKS.png
Once that is... over...

d30HWT2.png
................

JzpUVKS.png
Ah... Sorry, never mind...

iMl4Kif.png


d30HWT2.png
...Anyway, we need to lay our plans out carefully now...

Lscj6kk.png
You need not bother with that.

d30HWT2.png
!?

Suddenly, someone not from our party spoke to us.​

dLRdgfu.png


zxMn5GL.png
Your role ends here, Jamrock.

d30HWT2.png
Minister Galiba!? Why are you...?

zxMn5GL.png
I followed you here, Jamrock.

d30HWT2.png
I... I didn't kidnap Minvi! And I'm going to prove it soon!

zxMn5GL.png
Hehe... I'm aware of that.

d30HWT2.png
...!?

zxMn5GL.png
I didn't follow you here because you kidnapped her.

d30HWT2.png
Then... Why...

zxMn5GL.png
I just needed someone to show me the way here.

d30HWT2.png
Wh...at?

zxMn5GL.png
An admirable feat. My intelligence network was of no help in finding the place for the beasts' ceremony, yet you dug it up in less than half a month.

d30HWT2.png
.....................

zxMn5GL.png
Now we can round up the beasts in a single herd.

d30HWT2.png
Wait! There's something you...

You have no right to argue anything back now.

WTcQV1y.png


Suddenly, we were surrounded by dozens of soldiers, all clad in black armour.​

And every one of them was gripping a gun, just like we saw in Old Comet.​

d30HWT2.png
Those soldiers... aren't part of Altia's regular militia, right?

zxMn5GL.png
Don't compare them to those window decorations. I personally hand-picked this private elite force.

d30HWT2.png
...A private force to cover your actions up?

zxMn5GL.png
Hmph... Keep your mouth shut if you know nothing of a nation's ideals. ~~

zxMn5GL.png
Kalderina, come here.

XyuCnVd.png


GpiCAfW.png
What is this! Why must you act so forceful?

GpiCAfW.png
Please tell me, Father!

zxMn5GL.png
This is all for the sake of the kingdom of Altia. You need not worry about it. Now, take her to a safe place!

8DZd7r3.png
Yes, Sir!

GpiCAfW.png
Please stop! I wish to rescue Minvi-oneesama with... Please stop!

d30HWT2.png
Kalderina!

GpiCAfW.png
Jamrock-san!

Kalderina tried to reach me with her hand.​

But the soldiers trying to take her away stopped her.​

j2fxYBp.png


zxMn5GL.png
Please don't touch my daughter any more.

d30HWT2.png
Kalderina is your...?

zxMn5GL.png
Kalderina is my lone dear daughter. She has been reporting in detail on your actions.

d30HWT2.png
...Did you lie to her for the sake of Altia?

zxMn5GL.png
What's there to lie about! There's no deception in my desire to purge the nation of the beasts and other savages and form an ideal nation solely for humans!

zxMn5GL.png
And then, Kalderina becomes the temple priest, and with her help I can direct this nation to its proper course!

d30HWT2.png
What do you plan to do about Minvi? She is the current temple priest successor candidate at the moment, is she not?

*smacks forehead* Jamrock, you can't be that stupid.

zxMn5GL.png
Hmph... That lass is no more than a snare we laid to annihilate the beasts.

d30HWT2.png
What!?

zxMn5GL.png
If the temple priest successor candidate number one were to be killed, there won't be much sympathy for the beasts left in all of Altia.

zxMn5GL.png
All we then need to do is fan the people up a bit, and it'll be no trouble at all to slaughter all the beasts in this nation.

d30HWT2.png
You gosh-darned cunt!

I reached for the sword on my back.​

*click*​

But as soon as I did that, Galiba's soldiers had pointed their guns at me.​

d30HWT2.png
Kuh...

zxMn5GL.png
Don't glare at me like that. I saved you at Gweneba, remember?

d30HWT2.png
Gweneba...

Recalling it took me some time.​

d30HWT2.png
Did you... kill Saraii?

I remembered those loud roars when Saraii was about to sink her claws to my body... and her collapsing along the gunshots...​

gsWnhTO.png


zxMn5GL.png
So that's what the beast woman was called...

d30HWT2.png
...But why?

zxMn5GL.png
If you were to die there, you wouldn't be of much help to us.

d30HWT2.png
................

zxMn5GL.png
Indeed, you acted just as I thought... No, even better than that, Jamrock.

zxMn5GL.png
It did pay off to set you up as a kidnapper indeed.

JzpUVKS.png
So it was you after all!?

zxMn5GL.png
Oh? So the next captain of the chivalry had that much figured out? Well done, sincerely.

zxMn5GL.png
Hmh... You all danced to my tune admirably indeed.

zxMn5GL.png
My plan was to have you save Minvi, chased by my men, and act as a bait the lure out the beastists, but...

zxMn5GL.png
I honestly did not think you'd go about finding the ceremony for me...

d30HWT2.png
Was... it you who sealed Minvi's memory too then?

zxMn5GL.png
Not only that.

d30HWT2.png
What do you mean!?

zxMn5GL.png
Let's leave that for later.

zxMn5GL.png
All right. Let's now act obedient and get you tied up.

d30HWT2.png
.....................

With guns aimed at us, we had no option but to comply. With our weapons taken away, we just stood still and let them tie us up.​

JzpUVKS.png
Jamrock... Are you all right?

d30HWT2.png
Yeah... How about you?

JzpUVKS.png
I'm fine.

d30HWT2.png
Good... But, it was just as you said...

JzpUVKS.png
Yeah... That's right.

d30HWT2.png
If I just had suspected Galiba back then...

JzpUVKS.png
No... It would've probably just been a waste of time... Can't do anything about it any more...

d30HWT2.png
....................

JzpUVKS.png
Anyway... We need to think how to escape from here, right?

d30HWT2.png
...Yeah.

JzpUVKS.png
I'll... come with you.

In the meanwhile, time had certainly passed and the night's veil had begun to slowly envelop us. ~~

rzxcZ9g.png


Torches had started to get lit at the ceremonial location, and I could see claw people progressively gathering there.​

And then, from the base of the mountains, the full moon had begun to rise.​

zxMn5GL.png
Hehe... They've gathered here... Unaware that this ceremony will herald the beginning of their deaths...

zxMn5GL.png
Jamrock, we have a special seat reserved for you to watch the show from.

zxMn5GL.png
You see, that kidnapper who colluded with the claw people must die at the ceremony too.

7FFCUpc.png


Galiba made a sign with his hand, and the soldiers with guns forced me up.​

JzpUVKS.png
Jamrock!? Ng... Damn it! Let go of him!

JzpUVKS.png
Jamrock!? How will...

d30HWT2.png
...It's all right. I'll think of something.

JzpUVKS.png
...But!

zxMn5GL.png
What are you dawdling there! Bring him already!

JzpUVKS.png
Jamrock!?

ypQFJ5s.png


zxMn5GL.png
Don't forget to bring his sword! It's important evidence!

zxMn5GL.png
Then, start marching to your positions and get ready for the obliteration of those beastist fanatics!

8DZd7r3.png
Yes, Sir!

I ended up following the soldiers down the mountain, with rope around me.​

LxHwRDq.png


zxMn5GL.png
I know this road of yours to the hereafter might not be very pleasant, but I'm sure you can handle it, Jamrock.

d30HWT2.png
I'd like to know something before I can find peace... Why did you, the minister of a country, think that I'd be the one more likely to find the ceremony?

zxMn5GL.png
Humph... It's simple. Because we both could feed each other. ~~~

d30HWT2.png
...What do you mean?

zxMn5GL.png
I took into account the possibility that you and Tim Timaya would be in contact, and that she'd lead you to the ceremony. ~~

d30HWT2.png
Wh... you bastard! Did you know that Tim Timaya was...!?

zxMn5GL.png
Hmph... I'll explain that later.

zxMn5GL.png
Soon we'll reach our standby position, one that my scouts found. You should look forward to it; it's got a good view.

NRPJLE6.png


d30HWT2.png
.....................

Just as Galiba said, after a short distance the march stopped.​

Behind the torches' lights, I could faintly see the scaffold used in the ceremony.​

Lscj6kk.png
タジハマライダ! (Everyone, thank you for coming!)

Suddenly, a resonant voice sounded from the top of the scaffold.​

The cold night air carried the voice well too, of course, but the voice was of a deep, dignified type that affected its reach even more.​

zxMn5GL.png
That's Timirtos. The mastermind behind the beastists.

d30HWT2.png
...!

Tim Timaya's grandfather... the mastermind behind Dark, Blood, and Claw... Timirtos...​

I tried to focus my eyes on the stage...​

pAP7ahK.png


Atop the scaffold was an altar-like thing built for the occasion.​

That's... probably where the sacrifice happens.​

SoHslqM.png


d30HWT2.png
...?

X0Oek2I.png


And then, on both sides, there was something covered in cloth, perhaps the size of a person.​

...Something that will be used in the ceremony, perhaps?​

Timirtos's voice resounded again, interrupting my thoughts.​

zucWnYI.png


d30HWT2.png
...!?

That old man... didn't we meet him at the port of Jakash!?​

d30HWT2.png
So that old man was Timirtos...

b2gqpcx.png
ウメデカオミ、ツアチヤヘトゥハハイ!! (We claw people have experienced various kinds of persecution throughout our long history.)

b2gqpcx.png
ツイヤヤチダジ、ジャデレメイテハイハ・・・ (In the country, we get driven out of our homes. If we try to mingle with humans, we suffer from unjustified discrimination. ~~~)

b2gqpcx.png
ハイデシヤシメデウエイハ! (At times, they even threaten our lives!)

b2gqpcx.png
ツデシティトシデカオシマデフデレレイ。 (Those haughty humans, whose strength lies in their absolute majority. ~~~)

b2gqpcx.png
タメデヘレセンウデフィ、コンデタ、タメツフィラ! (Their own hands severed the path of prosperous coexistence that every being of sagacity should follow!)

b2gqpcx.png
カンウメシャイテイデコンシュ! (Now, we shall unleash a great, long-lost spell on them! ~~~)

b2gqpcx.png
レレイデ、カオイデレェンシェイクデタイ! (A high-ranking human as our sacrifice, the spell shall grant us great strength!)

b2gqpcx.png
リスシャイコデレイデシャグ、アルティアワゴチュメラ! (I vow that with the power of sixty-four spirits, the fleeting kingdom of Altia the humans have built shall be lead to ruin. ~~~)

Lscj6kk.png
Oooooooh!

Cheers burst forth and surrounded the air around us.​

b2gqpcx.png
シュウシ! ラアバ!! (O great shaman! Step forth!)

Timirtos stepped aside, and the person that replaced him, I could not take my eyes off her.​

d30HWT2.png
...!

For a moment my body shook, as if someone had hit me on the head.​

d30HWT2.png
Tim Ti... maya...

Though it had been five years, I immediately knew it was her.​

That's right...​

Any time... all the time... I had been searching for that figure...​

Lscj6kk.png
Ooooooooooh!

The excited cheers from the crowd made me snap out of it.​

I could see Tim Timaya slowly remove her cloak.​

And then, she headed for the altar.​

I took a second look at the figure lying there.​

d30HWT2.png
...That's...!?

MDryyOO.png


d30HWT2.png
Minvi!?

Tim Timaya held a knife in her hand, and slowly, as if she was dancing, turned over her hand.​

Zx4erFR.png
Shun, kaide, shurei ... Kyorai, teitesrei...

The words neither Altian nor Claw leaving her lips formed a strange melody...​

The full moon in the heavens shining its light wrapped its target in a mysterious atmosphere.​

Lscj6kk.png
Oooooooh!

The crowd's enthusiasm grew more and more, and was about to reach its peak.​

d30HWT2.png
...................

Nearby smoke slowly closed in and matched her movements.​

The frenzied audience gave no heed to it and kept with their wild cheers.​

This was supposed to be the time we were supposed to set fire to the storehouse, to cause chaos, and to save the two, according to the original plan.​

As the smoke billowed further, the hand holding the dagger had been raised above her head.​

00wXyzL.png


67CJb2k.png
Wait! Tim Timaya!

I knew that she could not hear me, yet I shouted at the top of my lungs.​

8DZd7r3.png
Stay quiet!

*thud*​

d30HWT2.png
...nh!

I was knocked down and pinned against the ground, still tied up.​

nkrZHwX.png


zxMn5GL.png
Humph... Don't rush, Jamrock.

Galiba, appearing like he was enjoying himself, suppressed a laugh and took out a strangely shaped flute from his bosom.​

zxMn5GL.png
This is the time I was waiting for...

Muttering thus, he forced air through the whistle with vigour.​

...................​

It didn't make a sound...​

But I could feel a pressure in my ear drums...​

d30HWT2.png
...A dog whistle?

zxMn5GL.png
Oh? Surprising of you...

zxMn5GL.png
Well, keep on watching. The show is about to start.

d30HWT2.png
What!?

zxMn5GL.png
When I captured Minvi returning from the audience with the king, I used quite a few magic spells on her.

zxMn5GL.png
The first magic spell I used made her lose her memory... But that in itself is nothing worth talking about. The priests at the royal temple have no trouble dispelling that.

zxMn5GL.png
Now, getting her in contact with you, Jamrock, that was the real use for it. ~~~

d30HWT2.png
....................

zxMn5GL.png
And then, we made sure that she would not in any way remember the treatment that followed...

zxMn5GL.png
Once the people at the temple church had dispelled the first spell and thought 'job well done', it wouldn't come upon them that my actual goal was to seal the memory of the treatment.

d30HWT2.png
You're... talking about the timeframe that Minvi couldn't remember before nor after she had gotten her memory back?

zxMn5GL.png
That's right... And then, the last spell... We made it so that when this dog whistle reaches her ear, she'll act in a certain way.

zxMn5GL.png
Look! Jamrock!

d30HWT2.png
...!?

r2vjj42.png


Zx4erFR.png
...!? Minvi-san!?

wQBWoTG.png
.................

wQBWoTG.png
Fin, shurei, koushi, shudenaizah...

Zx4erFR.png
...!?

The next moment Minvi, until now having lain down on the altar, as if pushed by an invisible spring, lifted up her upper body, and faced Tim Timaya.​

7uMxVTB.png


wQBWoTG.png
Hah!

Zx4erFR.png
...!? A counter-spell?

Zx4erFR.png
...ng...

b2gqpcx.png
Tim Timaya!?

d30HWT2.png
...!? What!?

The next moment, Tim Timaya fell down, as if repelled by some invisible force Minvi let loose.​

Xu8SRYK.png


b2gqpcx.png
Tim Timaya!

Timirtos rushed over to her.​

Minvi there and then slumped down onto the platform, as if her mind had detached from her body.​

PIlWyIE.png


The frenzy of the crowd suddenly abated into utter silence.​

Instead, there was unrest spreading out as if ripples on water.​

I could clearly tell it even though I stood this far away.​

zxMn5GL.png
That was the hidden cue I instilled on Minvi earlier, Jamrock.

d30HWT2.png
...What did you do!? Galiba!

zxMn5GL.png
Just a practical application of hypnosis. A counter-spell, they said. I never asked more about it.

zxMn5GL.png
The shaman, who is concentrating on the ceremony, is subjected to waves that are a complete inversion, which causes a mental shock for the shaman, I understand.

zxMn5GL.png
Heheh... They're completely flustered now. The ceremony they thought would give them strength instead got interrupted by the girl they were supposed to sacrifice.

d30HWT2.png
And this is... why you sealed Minvi's memories?

zxMn5GL.png
That's right. It went very well, didn't it?

67CJb2k.png
You bastard...

zxMn5GL.png
Just keep watching the show there... We'll have all the time in the world to deal with you once we've slaughtered these beasts first...

zxMn5GL.png
...Let's go! The beasts are about to flee! Don't let a single one escape alive!

8DZd7r3.png
Yeah!

Once Galiba gave his orders, the soldiers surged into the venue.​

I have about 25 lines left to translate. The end is nigh!

The rest is proofreading and matching the script to screenshots. By "proofreading" I basically mean checking that everything makes sense and sounds passable.

The next update has way too many images thanks to the quick cuts the game is making... And that's *after* I culled the ones that aren't completely necessary.

Incidentally, I took three hundred screenshots for this single day. That's 2476 screenshots for the whole game.

Let's now enjoy the pristine eighth page of this thread.
