Ant Lieutenant
Ant Palace, Main Room
[Story, walking in with Maki]
Ant Lieutenant: Maki. There you are. You know the Queen hates waiting.
Kabbu: Please forgive us for the delay.
Vi: We're ready, though!
Maki: Then you wouldn't mind if we stepped right in?
Leif: No objections. The sooner we answer our doubts, the better.
Guard: That'll do. Let us proceed, then.
Ant Palace, Throne Room
[Story, First entrance]
Lieutenant: You now stand before Your Majesty, Queen Elizant II.
Leif: (So it's true.)
Elizant: Hmm. So you're the brave ones who've found the Snakemouth Artifact?
Elizant:...Wonderful. So very wonderful!
Elizant: Lieutenant, you are dismissed. You have your own business to attend to.
(minibubble) Lieutenant: As you wish, my Queen.
Elizant: Time is precious. Let us not waste it. The artifact. You may hand it over.
Ant Palace, Main Room
Ant Lieutenant: Please, let me thank you. In the name of many good bugs lost to Snakemouth... it's a relief to know others won't venture in anymore.
Kabbu: Indeed... Our search for the artifact has helped others. I am truly glad.
Leif: (If only we had bested it back then...)
[first wasp invasion]
Ant Lieutenant: Guh... the Queen... Rebecca…
Lieutenant: Save them...
[post-first invasion]
Ant Lieutenant: The Wasps...just left.
Lieutenant: Yet I feel they will return... We must prepare!
Lieutenant: At least Rebecca is safe. She doesn't even seem to have noticed what happened...
[second wasp invasion]
Ant Lieutenant: ...Team Snakemouth...!
Ant Lieutenant: Hurry!
[ch6]
Ant Lieutenant: ...I can't believe it. This is the second time the Wasps attacked us.
Lieutenant: We really need to revise our security.
[postgame]
Ant Lieutenant: The sapling's chapter is finally closed. It's a shame we could not obtain it.
Ant Lieutenant: Even so, the Queen seems more determined than ever. Under her rule, prosperity awaits the Ant Kingdom!
Ant Palace, War Room
[Quest: Loose Ends]
Rebecca: Oh, it's you young'uns!
Leif: Rebecca... You'll really go to the Abandoned City? For what purpose?
Rebecca: It may look a bit dreadful... But I have many great memories there.
Rebecca: Won't you come with me? I have a tale or two to share.
Ant Lieutenant: Absolutely not!
Ant Lieutenant: There is no way you're stepping outside this castle!
Ant Lieutenant: Have you forgotten your age?
Rebecca: ...Now, that's not very kind.
Rebecca: These young'uns saved the Kingdom! I have nothing to fear.
Kabbu: ...She's right about that. We promise to keep her safe.
Vi: For a good pri- Ow!
(minibubble) Kabbu: Not today!
Ant Lieutenant: ...............................…
Ant Lieutenant: ...Only if I go as well. Please, Rebecca.
Rebecca: Hoho, I'd love that! Let's get going, then.
Ant Lieutenant: ...See you there, Team Snakemouth.
Forsaken Lands, Abandoned City
Ant Lieutenant: Good grief... This place is harrowing.
Vi: Um, do you really like this place?
Rebecca: …
Kabbu: Um, Miss Rebecca?
Rebecca: Elizant... We shared so many meals here.
Leif: You both crossed this place?
Rebecca: Every day I tried just a little harder with my Plumpling Pies…
Rebecca: This place may seem barren, but it was our lovely camp.
Vi: That's kinda hard to imagine…
Ant Lieutenant: ...
Ant Lieutenant: Tch... As I feared!
Rebecca: Oh dear…
Leif: Stay close to us!
(minibubble) Vi: Here we go!
Ant Lieutenant: I'll assist you as well!
[post-battle]
Rebecca: Thank you, sweethearts. How scary…
Ant Lieutenant: Huff… Was this risk truly worth it, Rebecca...?
Rebecca: Of course.
Leif: Even if you camped here... Rebecca, we should head back.
Rebecca: I didn't get to finish my tale... Won't you hear me out for a little while longer?
Vi: Eh, we're already here so...
Rebecca: Before Queen Elizant was put to sleep, she said…
Rebecca: "See you soon, my friend. Or so I hope."
(minibubble) Leif: ...
Rebecca: Ellie is a wonderful queen. She really is her mother's daughter.
Rebecca: When I heard she destroyed the Everlasting Sapling…
Rebecca: It took me some days to finally accept it.
Rebecca: Elizant won't be sharing any more meals with me...
(minibubble) Vi: ...
Leif: Rebecca... We're sorry. If it wasn't for the Wasp King…
Ant Lieutenant: Why did you never share these burdens? You always seemed so happy…
Rebecca: Hohoho... I am happy! After all...I'm sure she would be happy.
Rebecca: I'm so proud of Ellie, too…
Rebecca: Do you understand why I needed to return?
Kabbu: ...Yes. This is a proper way to pay your respects.
Leif: We're glad we could come. We...needed this too. Thank you, Rebecca.
Rebecca: I won't hold you here any longer. I'm very grateful.
Ant Lieutenant: ...So am I. Team Snakemouth, please take this.
Vi: We should, um...go back. You can tell us a lot more stuff at the palace!
Leif: Yeah... We'd like that.
Kabbu: I'll lead the way, then!
Rebecca: (Goodbye, my dear Queen...)
Npc Spies
[regular]
Vi: The laiu... lieu... the ant captain's really cool!
Kabbu: Lieutenant, Vi.
Vi: ...As I was saying, pretty cool!
Kabbu: Maki, Zaryant... The Queen has quite a dependable ensemble.
Leif: We just hope they follow out of more than obligation.
[ch5, returning from Wasp Kingdom]
Kabbu: ...! Something is wrong!
[ch6]
Vi: The laiu... lieu... the ant captain's ok! Phew!
Kabbu: Lieutenant, Vi.
Leif: Is this the time to correct her grammar?
Kabbu: ...You're right. I'm glad she's okay as well.
