Gen and Eri
Explorer’s Association
Gen: Ooh! Maki! He's getting ready to serve justice!
Eri: No, he's just gonna cause a scene again. Like always.
Kabbu: This sort of thing occurs frequently?
Gen: Hey! Didn't Maki ask for you? Don't make him wait, or I'll make you pay!
Eri: Gen, you're embarassing me! You're not the head of his fangirl club!
Gen: Yes I am!
Kabbu: (I'm just going to walk right out of this one.)
[After getting permit, first talk]
Gen: Oh, Eri, why must Maki be so dreamy?
Eri: Have you gone mad, Gen!? He's so arrogant!
Vi: You tell her, Eri.
Kabbu: Pompous as he was, he was at least kind enough to test us.
Eri: Oh, no. He does that to everyone. You see this once a week.
Gen: Oh, Maki… such a show off~
Vi: Argh! That stupid, roleplaying wannabe gatekeeper! I'll show him!
Kabbu: This will not stand!
Kabbu: I shall challenge him to a duel to the death, our honor on the line!
Gen: H-Hey! You don't have to go that far!
Vi: Oh, um, he's just kidding! Right, Kabbu?
Kabbu: Err, yes. Of course. "Kidding". I was most certainly only jesting.
Gen: You better have been!
Vi: Let's just go, Kabbu.
[Subsequent talks]
Eri: Stay out of trouble.
Gen: And far away from Maki!
[Story, returning from Snakemouth]
Eetl: Oh! It's you guys!
Eetl: Oh Goddesses! You're alright! I couldn't stop worrying, ever since you left!
Kabbu: It was a...rocky journey. What with the flood.
Vi: No kidding! I don't wanna see rivers for a while!
Leif: We're glad to finally be out of there, at least.
Eetl: Rivers!? You're some lucky bugs!!!
Eetl: But uh...Vi, Kabbu, who's this?
Kabbu: Oh! Eetl, this is Leif. We found him trapped in Snakemouth.
Eetl: So you DID make it into Snakemouth!?
Eri: Honestly, we thought you'd bail. Going to Snakemouth is crazy!
Leif: Bailing would've been a good idea, really…
Vi: Well, we did! And we got the artifact!
Eetl: Ah haha! Nice one, Vi. The river must have shaken up your hea-
Eetl: I-Impossible! You actually made it into Snakemouth's depths!?
Vi: Yeah! We did it! In your face, Eetl!
Leif: How sportsbuglike.
Kabbu: Vi, it is folly to boast.
Vi: It's folly to tell me I can't do something!
Gen: Um, so is it like, the real deal?
Eetl: Yeah. It's quite like another artifact we've been looking into. That must be the genuine deal.
Eetl: (...It's just like Neolith was saying…)
Kabbu: Hmm?
Eetl: I was just thinking that you should go see the Queen right away! She will be beyond ecstatic!
Leif: It has been some time since we last saw the Queen…
Leif: ...Wait. Actually, looking around, we don't recognize that structure over there. Was it built recently?
Eetl: What, you mean the association? It has been there for many moons!
(minibubble) Leif: ...?
Eetl: You are not from around here, are you?
Leif: We are. We recognize this place. But something feels off…
Vi: You're just fuzzy from the cave! I bet it'll come back to you!
(minibubble) Leif: (…)
Kabbu: Eetl, what about Leif? I heard that exploration teams can only have two members.
Eetl: Oh, that! Well, it's unusual. But you did conquer Snakemouth. It's been a goal for ages…
(minibubble) Leif: (...Ages?)
Eetl: I suppose that... Alright. With my authority as the association's caretaker, in honor of your feat…
Eetl: I grant you, Team Snakemouth, the perk of being able to have three members!
Kabbu: Team Snakemouth?
Vi: A proper explorer team name!
Leif: Uh, yay.
Eetl: Well, that's that! Let's go see the Queen! She must know that the artifact was found!
Gen: Oh, I'm so jealous! I hope the reward is good!
Vi: Heheh. It better be!
Kabbu: Let us go, then.
Leif: Yes, a walk through the plaza should help.
Leif: (We need more information...)
[first talk]
Gen: Hey, Team Snakemouth!
Eri: You had Gen and I worried, you know? Good to see you up and running!
Leif: ...The river was not pleasant.
Vi: Yeah, we got super lucky…
Kabbu: Thank you for your concern!
Eri: Concern is the least we can show.
Gen: Your team is so reliable...maybe we'll have to ask for help sometime!
Vi: Mmm...maybe. For a good reward!
Kabbu: ...Nonsense, Vi. Fellow explorers have our help anytime!
Eri: Awesome! I promise we'll ask if we ever need help.
Leif: Sure…
Vi: You're gonna bankrupt us, Kabbu.
Vi: But meh. Time to go questing again!
Leif: Let's stay away from rivers...
[subsequent talks]
Eri: Stay out of trouble!
Gen: And let's quest together sometime!
Golden Settlement, Main Area
[post-Aria battle]
Gen: Oh no! We missed the festival!
Eri: We shouldn't have taken that nap before heading out...
Ant Palace, Main Room
[bringing back second artifact]
Eri: I wonder why the Queen called all of us…
Gen: Whatever it was, it wasn't me!
Outskirts, Bridge to Lost Sands
[Before lowering bridge]
Gen: Ah, geez! How does this bridge work!? Where's the worker?
Eri: I hope we cross soon. These Underlings don't play nice at all!
[lower bridge]
Gen: Woah, thanks!
Eri: Mhm. We were stuck here for a while.
Vi: It wasn't much!
Gen: We'll get going now. See you in Defiant Root!
Kabbu: Be careful, now!
Lost Sands, Caravan
[Story, ch3, walking up to group]
Cricketly: Oh, if it isn't those peppy explorers!
Vi: Hiya!
Eri: Hey, Team Snakemouth. How's it going?
Leif: Well, it's a bit hot…
Kabbu: You're traveling to Defiant Root as well?
Gen: Yup. We're on a mission to protect these merchants!
Cricketly: Specifically, our dear Snail. We could fight or run, but this one's pretty wimpy.
Eri: It's been a super good day, though. Easiest mission we've ever had!
Burglar: EHEHEHE! YOU JINXED IT!
Gen: Dangit, Eri!
Vi: Bandits!
Cricketly: You've got some NERVE trying to mug us!
Huscada: D-Dear, it's okay. We can make the money back. Don't get hurt fo-
Cricketly: As if! I'd rather go down fighting than yield to these scoundrels!
Wasp: You speak brave words, for a powerless merchant.
Wasp: This is your last chance to surrender to the Wasp Kingdom!
Gen: L-Like we'd let you take anything!
Eri: Yeah, it's time to s-show what we can do!
Burglar: Bleheheh. Merchants are so greedy. Can't share just a few things. Now we're gonna have to take it all!
(minibubble) Huscada: Oh no, oh no!
Wasp: Hmm? Those three! They're the ones from the report!
Burglar: That'll pay a pretty penny! Let's capture 'em!
Kabbu: You will keep your vile limbs away from my friends!
Vi: Let's kick their butt!
(minibubble) Eri: L-let's go!
[Post-battle]
Wasp: Blast! We've got to go back and report this!
Burglar: I'm, uh, still getting paid, right...?
Wasp: Shut it! Let's go!
Wasp: You... We won't forget this!
Huscada: Uff... That was terrifying. Thank you…
Gen: Yeah. Thanks, Team Snakemouth!
Cricketly: Hmph. We were going to be fine. They were weaklings.
Vi: You're welcome.
Vi: ...Those wasps are showing up more, huh?
Leif: It's worrying indeed. We should report this as soon as we're able.
Huscada: We're just humble merchants. We can't help too much…
Huscada: But we are so very grateful for your help. This isn't much, but take it.
Vi: Woah! I didn't even need to ask this time!
(minibubble) Kabbu: Oh, Vi...
Cricketly: Of course. You won't find merchants in debt. With this, we're even.
Eri: We can keep the merchants safe from here. We're almost at the town!
Gen: Yeah. Don't let us slow you down!
Kabbu: You would never! But thank you. We'll keep going now.
Huscada: Safe travels!
Hive, Balcony
[Story, ch3]
Gen: Heeeey! Team Snakemouth!
Eri: Thanks again, we owe you for back in the desert…
Kabbu: It was no problem. You would do the same for us.
Leif: They would try, at least.
Gen: We'll make up for it, you'll see.
Eri: Mhm. Hey, Vi? You're being real quiet.
Vi: Oh? Uh...sorry. Just thinking.
Eri: The Hive is SUPER cool! We have to come back together when we're not on the job!
Gen: Everyone's really nice. And they let us drink from the fountain for free!
Vi: Y-Yeah... Glad you like it. You ready to meet up?
Eri: Shoot! We forgot!
Gen: We'll see ya there, Team Snakemouth!
Leif: Well, at least they're having fun.
Vi: Hmph.
Leif: Vi.
Vi: What? If it's about earlier, drop it. I don't want to talk about it.
Leif: Look at us, Vi. This is serious.
Leif: You're mad over petty things. You're acting like a child.
Vi: Seriously? THAT'S what you wanted to tell me!?
Leif: We're not finished.
Leif: Something may happen tomorrow, or even today. And then, you won't be able to say sorry.
(minibubble) Kabbu: Leif...
Leif: Instead of acting so proud, won't you be happier if you fix things?
Vi: …
Kabbu: Vi, Leif is right! We never know what can happen. Friends are so precious to lose over nothing…
Vi: ...But what if she doesn't forgive me? I was really mean…
Kabbu: If you really mean it, and show it, she'll forgive you. You're sisters!
Vi: ...…
Vi: F-Fine. I'll try.
Leif: Hmm. You're more mature than we expected.
Vi: Shut up!
Vi: We're on a mission now, but…
Vi: W-When we have time, I'll try and apologize. Okay? Are you happy now!?
Leif: You promise?
Vi: I'll do it! I don't need to promise it like some kid!
Kabbu: Heheheh. Alright, Vi. We believe you.
Leif: We hope it goes well. Life's too short to have dumb fights.
Vi: Sigh...I feel all tired now.
Hive, Main Area
Eri: Maybe I can sneak out and eat some more fountain honey before the meeting…
Gen: Seriously, Eri. Just stay still!
[Story, walking to the throne room door with everyone gathered]
Kabbu: It seems only Kina is left…
Eri: Oh, nah! She gave us the parts. So we're good to go.
Gen: She's shameless, that's what she is!
Guard: Then, if these are all the explorers, we shall open the throne room.
Guard: Be on your best behavior, for even glancing upon our Queen is a privilege.
Mothiva: Oh, of course miss guard! We adore the Queen, and would never dream to upset her Ohohoho!
(minibubble) Vi: !?
Leif: Are you the same Mothiva...?
Guard: Be silent, and go in.
Hive, Throne Room
[Story, first entry]
Guard: My Queen, the Ant Kingdom's explorers have arrived. The doctor's here, as well.
Bianca: Oh! Adorable, aren't they? Welcome!
Bianca: I hope the Hive has shown great hospitality and kindness towards you.
Kabbu: Y-Yes! We are grateful, Que-
Mothiva: Oh, most respected Queen! Your words humble our heart - we are truly blessed to be in your presence!
(minibubble) Zasp: (Mothiva... Don't overdo it.)
(minibubble) Mothiva: (Shut up!)
Vi: Uh, yeah. It's nice to be back…
Bianca: Vi! Is that you? You have grown so beautifully into a fine bee!
Vi: U-Um…
Bianca: We have heard of your exploits here. You have brought pleasant surprises to my days.
Kabbu: That's great, Vi!
Vi: T-Thank you, Queen.
(minibubble) Mothiva: (Grr!!!)
Eri: The Hive is wonderful! Makes me wish I was a bee!
Bianca: Ahaha! Now, now. We all have our wonderful place in this world.
(minibubble) Leif: (This Queen is something else. If only ours took note...)
Bianca: But now, the time for pleasantries is over. If you don't mind, let us get to the matter at hand.
Bianca: H.B.?
H.B.: Yes, my Queen.
Bianca: As we all know, the graceful Ant Queen has made a heavy request of our kind.
Bianca: The core of the Honey Factory, which we owe this great kingdom to, has turned out to be an artifact.
Bianca: Under normal circumstances, we would have to deny even the Queen her request.
Bianca: However, she has provided us with all we need to build a new core.
Gen: R-Right! Kina should have delivered them to the factory already…
H.B.: Fufufu... Yes, I have gone there and gave a quick examination.
H.B.: With my incredible intellect, I can quickly create a suitable replacement. All due to these materials' incredible quality!
Bianca: It's quite a simple ordeal, isn't it? Almost feels like we've gone through a bit too many formalities…
Mothiva: Never, Your Majesty! There is no request we would not acquiesce for thee!
(minibubble) Vi: Ac-squeeze?
Bianca: Ahaha! If you are true of your word, that would make me most happy.
Bianca: For I would like to invite you to accompany the doctor to the Honey Factory, and witness this pivotal exchange.
Bianca: You are not obligated to go, but it would warm our heart if you did…
Mothiva: Yes. YES!
Eri: Sure thing! We would love to see even more of the kingdom!
Leif: Yes. For one, seeing honey being produced sounds delicious.
Kabbu: Leif, you are not to eat any of it!
(minibubble) Leif: (Aww...)
Vi: Um, thanks. We'll go.
Bianca: Vi…
Vi: Q-Queen?
Bianca: Contrary to what I believed, it seems the outside world did you some good.
Bianca: You look so grown up! Your team has my thanks.
Kabbu: Ah! Um, you're welcome, Queen.
Vi: I...I haven't changed at all. I'm the same Vi!
Bianca: Ahaha... A mother knows best. Maybe you've yet to notice.
(minibubble) Vi: ...
Mothiva: W-Well! Shall we go?
Guard: The Queen is speaking! Shut your mouth!
(minibubble) Mothiva: E-Eep!
Bianca: No need to be so ruthless, my dear guard. Ahaha!
Bianca: But you are indeed free to go unto the factory. It's to the west of my throne's entrance.
Bianca: Vi, please take care of everyone as they explore. As sure as I am that there will be no issues.
Vi: ...Yeah. I will. You can count on me!
Guard: Dismissed!
Mothiva: Sigh...Let's go, Zasp.
Zasp: About time.
H.B.: Now, teams. I still have to pick up some tools. We'll meet up there.
H.B.: Don't let the wind blow you off the bridge!
Kabbu: Geez, Vi. You made bees seem so mean! When you have a graceful Queen like that!
Leif: Even we are disarmed by her words. They remind us of Elizant.
Vi: ...I was mad at everyone, okay?
Leif: Even so, you shouldn't have badmouthed them.
Vi: Fine. I'm sorry, okay!? And I'll, uh...I'll fix stuff. Slowly. Can we just do the mission?
Kabbu: Heheheh. Alright. Let's go, team.
Honey Factory, Entrance
[Story, first entrance]
Tuvi: Wow! So many tourists! This is the famous Honey Factory!
Tuvi: Amazing, right? Here's where we produce all of Bugaria's honey!
Tuvi: Oh, um. Ignore this pile of scrap. Some explorer left it here and walked out…
(minibubble) Mothiva: Boring. Let's go, Zasp!
Tuvi: Anyway! I'm Tuvi, your delightful tour guide. While the incredible Doctor builds our new core, I'll show you around to lots of fun!
Gen: Yeehaw! Can't wait!
H.B.: Sounds like a good opportunity, doesn't it? Science is incredible, but not the best spectator sport.
H.B.: By the time the tour is done, I'll have assembled everything.
H.B.: So go on, have fun!
Kabbu: Thank you, Doctor. We will enjoy this for sure!
Leif: Knowing how the honey is made... This is an opportunity we cannot miss.
Vi: It's seriously nothing that cool…
Kabbu: Maybe for a bee. For us, it's a great experience!
Vi: Alright, alright. Geez... It'll be fun, I guess.
Tuvi: Uh... What?
Textbox: Warning! Warning!
Textbox: Factory has been compromised! Alert Code 32 Engaged!
Textbox: Complete Factory Lockdown in Effect!
Tuvi: W-w-w-w-w-w-w-what!?
H.B.: What...? But Code 32 is…
Vi: Doc! What's going on?!
H.B.: Code 32 means... The factory has been attacked by hostile forces!
H.B.: But how? We didn't see anyone on our way here…
Kabbu: Doctor, we must leave! We can retrieve the artifact later!
H.B.: Indeed. It's not just us, tourists and workers need to evacuate too.
H.B.: Guide, do you know where the Overseer is?
Tuvi: N-no! It's routine checkup time... She could be anywhere!
H.B.: ...Tch. Without the Overseer, we're stuck.
Vi: What!?
H.B.: Code 32 will lock down the entire factory for a week.
H.B.: That is, unless the Overseer enters the disarm code.
Leif: We suggest turning our trip around the factory into a rescue mission.
H.B.: ...Great idea! Finding her will fix all our problems, really.
Gen: A-Alright. We'll help!
H.B.: With such a capable group of explorers here, we should be okay.
H.B.: For now I will work on the core's replacement... You should focus on the rescue mission.
Eri: Let's do this!
Vi: You heard that, Mothiva? Let's-
Vi: Wait, where is she? Where's Zasp?
Gen: Huh, he's gone too…
Vi: I bet they have something to do with this...!
Leif: For this once, probably not... Guess we'll have to search for them too.
Vi: Cuz we didn't have enough to do... Let's go, team!
Gen: Hmmm... Maybe the overseer's through here?
Eri: Door's locked. Needs a card or something... Where could it be?
[Story, opening door to Processing]
Eri: Ah! The door! Thanks, Team Snakemouth!
Gen: Heheh. It's our time to shine, Eri! Can't let them do everything, right?
Eri: Y-You sure we won't get in the way?
Gen: Relax. It's just a factory! Let's go in and do what we can!
Vi: Uh oh... The factory's super dangerous! It's full of sentry bots!
Kabbu: W-What!? Team, we must give chase!
Honey Factory, Processing, Processing, Puzzle
[Story, approach Gen and Eri]
Eri: Eek! Team Snakemouth!
Gen: H-Help! Please!
Gen: Phew... We owe you one, again.
Vi: We may have to start charging 'em…
Kabbu: Nonsense, Vi.
Leif: What did you do to get rushed by Bee-Boops?
Eri: Oh yeah! We were, like, trying this switch out?
Eri: I was gonna stay here controlling it while Eri crossed, but then they went crazy!
Vi: This place is too dangerous, you shouldn't split up!
Kabbu: You should return to a safe place. We will take care of this.
Eri: W-Wait! We can help! Seriously!
Gen: We can stay here and press the switch, right? Then all of you can cross!
Leif: That's a fantastic idea, we're impressed.
Eri: It'll settle our debt with Vi, too!
Kabbu: She was just kidding, do not worry.
(minibubble) Vi: Right. Kidding.
Kabbu: But will you be ok? What if you get ambushed again?
Leif: Eh, doesn't seem to be anything dangerous left around.
Gen: Trust us, okay? Just go get a move on! Press |button,9| to give us a holler, and we'll press the switch!
Eri: Just tell us when to switch and we will do it!
Gen: Press |button,9| if you want us to switch the platforms!
[Press button]
Gen: Switching up!
[leave and come back]
Gen or Eri: Hey! Wanna try again? Just press |button,9| to tell us when to swap the platforms!
Honey Factory, Entrance
[After completing Processing]
Eri: You didn't hear it from me, but Gen doesn't like honey much.
Eri: Guess this lockdown isn't going that great for her...
Gen: I'm glad we could help! If only we knew where the Overseer was…
[after rescuing Zasp and Mothiva]
Eri: Oh, you found Mothiva! Would you know why she looks so angry?
Gen: Uhh, Zasp and Mothiva... Did we upset them somehow?
Honey Factory, Core
[We're ready.]
Overseer: Ok, here we go!
H.B.: There it is... The factory's core!
Leif: So this is the core... It's a bit unsightly.
H.B.: Heh. It was definitely designed with function over form.
Crow: This is such a big day! The core's never been replaced!
Crow: If this goes awry, the whole factory will explode...
Gen: WHAT DID YOU SAY!? EXPLODE!?
(minibubble) Eri: Seriously!
H.B.: CROW! I told you that was a 0.004718% chance! Shut up!
Crow: S-Sorry, Doctor…
Vi: Phew...I don't want to be here if it's going to blow up!
Kabbu: Oof... Please do not scare us like that.
H.B.: Sigh. We'll have a talk later, Crow.
(minibubble) Crow: Eep!
H.B.: I was going to give a speech, but the mood's ruined...I'll just replace it now.
(minibubble) Mothiva: (Finally...)
Leif: What is it now!?
Gen: Oh no, oh no no no no!!!
(minibubble) Zasp: Mothiva! Behind me!
Kabbu: Everyone, be on guard!
H.B.: Hohoho. Calm down. Watch this!
H.B.: Deactivation code 940906!
Drone: CORE PROTECTION PROTOCOL: AUTHORITY OVERRIDE.
Drone: CODE 32 IN EFFECT. DEACTIVATION COMMAND REJECTED.
Drone: OBJECTIVE: PROTECT CORE AT ALL COSTS!
H.B.: WHY would they ever code that in!? ...NOW YOU CAN PANIC!
Crow: Doctor! W-What do we do!?
Leif: Leave it to us. We'll knock this thing out.
Vi: Yeah! We ain't leaving without the artifact!
Zasp: Team Snakemouth, we're going to have to work together.
(minibubble) Mothiva: Think of all the fame… That we'll get for this!
Eri: We're here, too!
Kabbu: Everyone... Alright! Take care of all the Bee-Boops! We'll take care of the big one!
Mothiva: You'd give ME such a simple task?
Vi: Shut it! They're coming! Just do your job!
Mothiva: Grr... Whatever, let's go!
[post-battle]
Drone: MISSION... FAILED... SYSTEM... CRITI... CA...
Kabbu: We've done it!
Mothiva: You should have left the big one to US. And saved us a lot of time!
Vi: Shut it, Mothiva.
Zasp: Hmph. Good moves. At the very least we've accomplished our goal.
Leif: We can agree for once.
Gen: Uh... Yup! Good job, everyone!
Mothiva: You did almost NOTHING!
Eri: S-So mean…
Crow: W-Well done, teams! We can replace the core now!
H.B.: Still, what a shame... Such a beautiful machine reduced to scrap.
Crow: W-We'll fix it later, doctor. Could you replace it? I really want to leave!
Vi: No kidding... Feels like we've been here forever!
H.B.: Alright, alright. Here goes nothing. Hope it doesn't explode.
(minibubble) Leif: Now you're worried?
Textbox: Factory Core Reset Completed.
H.B.: There ya go. Bet ya can't tell the difference. I'm a genius!
Crow: Awesome, doctor!
Kabbu: Mission Complete! We can finally leave!
Mothiva: Yeah, yeah... Can we have the old core? To give to the Queen, of course.
(minibubble) Vi: Hey!
H.B.: Of course.
Mothiva: WAIT, NO, GIVE IT TO M-
Textbox: You have found the Ancient Key!
Textbox: Team Snakemouth cut across the vast Lost Sands, thwarting a gang of bandits along the way.
Despite Vi's foul mood, the team took the Defiant Root's elevator, arriving at the Bee Kingdom.
Leif had a scare, but the team learned more about what happened in Snakemouth Den.
Vi was convinced to reconcile with her sister, and faced the Queen of all bees.
Although the factory tour went a bit awry, the explorers worked together to replace the core.
Now, all pieces have been assembled. Is the Everlasting Sapling finally within reach?
End of Chapter 3.
Leif: Wusk tav hyr?
H.B.: Fascinating. Your condition... I haven't forgotten. Think about my offer, okay?
Mothiva: ARGH!
Vi: Just ambush us later for it. See how well it goes for you!
Zasp: Hm. You're growing bolder, you brat.
Kabbu: N-Now, now. We can all go home, surely that is reason to celebrate!
Gen: You got it! We're going for some Succulent Berries!
Eri: See ya at the palace!
Mothiva: Ugh... They better mention all the HELP we gave you. Or you'll see.
Zasp: Shall we go, Mothiva?
Mothiva: Yeah. Whatever. Tomorrow's a new day for glorious fame!
H.B.: Oh, right. One last thing. Pass by my lab when you have time. There's something cool I'd like to show you.
Vi: Sure thing, doc.
Crow: Ah. you're dropping by? I better ask the Queen about the shutdown real quick, then…
Crow: Um. Thanks for everything, see ya!
Kabbu: Huff... What an exhausting tour that was. But it was fun, too.
Vi: You've got a real weird idea of fun.
Leif: We should go hand over this artifact. Let's go, everyone.
Ant Kingdom, Commercial
[Quest: Explorer Check]
Amber: Stop! These items are not yours!
Cenn: Huh!? You're saying we're liars!?
Pisci: Explorers don't lie! You should check again!
Amber: I know how to do my job! Don't you dare try to swindle me!
Gen: T-Team Snakemouth!
Kabbu: What is the matter here!?
Eri: They're trying to steal Amber's items!
Pisci: We're not! Look at our permit!
Pisci: Would a Maki-Approved team EVER lie for some cheap items?
Leif: ...That permit's fake.
Cenn: What'd ya say!?
Vi: Uh, really?
Leif: It's missing its crystals. Haven't you noticed? This is obviously some cheap imitation.
Kabbu: Thieves, and a farce to boot!? You will answer for your crimes!
Gen: Whew, good thing you're here. We had no idea…
Cenn: To heck with it! We'll just take these by force!
[Post-fight]
Leif: Drats. We let them get away.
Amber: Oh, thank you. I can't do enough to repay you.
Kabbu: Pay no mind to it, Ms. Amber. Your services are already most helpful.
Gen: This is bad. They'll just come back and harass someone else!
Eri: We have no idea where they'd flee to, though…
Vi: Their permit's fake, right? Maybe they'll try to steal a real one?
Gen: We'll check out the area near the Association, then!
Kabbu: We shall as well. Let's get them with haste!
[end of quest-related dialogue]
Explorer’s Association
[Quest: Explorer Check!]
Gen: Halt, you criminal dorks!
Cenn: How did you find us so fast!?
Eri: It's cuz we're like, actual explorers!
Pisci: Let's beat them into silence, Cenn!
Eri: O-Oi, that's not necessary!
Kabbu: Gen, Eri! Good job locating the frauds!
Leif: We won't waste our breath negotiating.
Vi: Yeah! Let's just beat 'em up!
Cenn: Darn, they're too strong. What do we do!?
Kabbu: Just give it up! There's a reason Maki refused your application!
Pisci: What would he know? Y'all are just the Queen's lapbugs!
Pisci: No one has the right to tell us we can't explore!
Vi: …
Vi: I get how you feel. But...the answer wasn't to become criminals!
Vi: It was to train and become stronger, so you could do the dangerous stuff!
Cenn: Don't lecture us! We'll see who needs to get stronger after this!
[post-battle]
Vi: Give it up! You're super outmatched!
Cenn: Tch. You preachy bunch...
Cenn: H-Heheh... You didn't notice our plan.
Pisci: Our escape route's clear!
Cenn: W-WHAT THE-
Cenn: Zzzzz...
Gen: Heh, you think we're that much of a pushover!?
Eri: YOU didn't notice OUR plan!
Kabbu: Incredible! Good work!
Gen: We're gonna ship these off to be judged. Thanks for your help!
Eri: Let's see. Confiscate the permit and...huh. They had this on them.
Eri: You should take it, Team Snakemouth!
Leif: Pleasure to help.
Gen: We'll see you around. Good luck in your other quests!
Vi: Heheh. See you around!
[post-quest]
Gen: Thanks for everything! Maybe we'll help each other in another mission?
Eri: If it wasn't for you, we would never have got those criminals! Way to go!
[first wasp invasion]
Eri: T-Those Wasps aren't messing around. Be really careful!
Gen: Phew. We got everyone out!
Rubber Prison, Giant Lair Bridge
[post-battle]
Fuff: N-No! You won't pass! No one can pass!!!
Vi: Knock it off! You already lost!
Fuff: NO ONE WILL PASS! THOSE ARE THE KING'S ORDERS!
Fuff: I...I HAVE TO FOLLOW THE KING'S ORDERS!
Fuff: I...I MUST FOLLOW...
Kabbu: T-This isn't normal!
Leif: That Wasp in the kingdom said everyone'd gone nuts…
Leif: Could this one be controlled too?
Vi: Just let us pass!
Fuff: YOU WILL HAVE TO CRUSH MY BODY!
Vi: ...That works.
Leif: That king employs such distasteful tactics.
Leif: Let's leave this poor guy to the Ant Kingdom.
Kabbu: Indeed. Let's secure the area so reinforcements can come in.
Kabbu: Then, we'll have to give swift chase!
Kabbu: I will send the signal!
Mothiva: Ohohoho! The cavalry's here! Aren't you glad?
Celia: Great work clearing the way, Team Snakemouth!
Eri: Yeah. It's gonna be smooth sailing from here!
Maki: We cannot celebrate yet. The Wasp King is brutally powerful.
Kina: He's gonna pay for bruising you!
Yin: Muh muh!
Elizant: Indeed. But for now, we are fortunate to have gotten this far.
Vanessa: Are we sure it's alright with everyone having come?
Elizant: Queen Bianca has gracefully offered to protect the Ant Kingdom while we fulfill this mission.
Vi: Woah, I thought she was a super pacifist!
Zasp: Can't reason with a mad bug.
Elizant: My knights and trusted explorers! Make your final preparations. We venture into Giant's Lair - No Bug's Land!
Elizant: None have returned from it. We have no legends, no way to know what's inside.
Elizant: But if we do not face this challenge, we don't deserve tomorrow's freedom! Let us pray to Venus and charge!
Levi: What a magnificent rally! I'm pumped up!
Leif: Hmm. She's come far, hasn't she?
Kabbu: Even you were moved, eh Leif?
Vi: Time to kick some butt!
Vanessa: It's time...Bugaria will be saved today, but I too will reclaim my people. Let's go!
Mothiva: Idols first!
[didn’t do Explorer Check]
Eri: Well this is it! The final deal!
Gen: Geez...I still need to stock up on some items! Hold on!
[did Explorer Check]
Gen: Um, Eri...are we really strong enough?
Eri: Chin up, Gen! Remember when we set up that bomb trap?
Gen: Heheh, yeah. That was pretty cool.
Vi: Just set a trap behind the baddies too!
Leif: We'll be counting on you.
Gen: Oh gosh. No pressure, right?
Kabbu: Well, just a bit of pressure.
Eri: Let's do this, sis!
Giant's Lair, Roach Village
Gen: H-Hey…
Eri: We...We somehow made it through! But it's too much!
Gen: We believe in you! You can do it!
Ant Palace, Bridge
[Ending]
[haven’t finished Explorer Check]
Gen: You really did it!
Eri: Sorry we couldn't help more... We owe you!
[finished Explorer Check]
Gen: We really did it, Team Snakemouth!
Eri: I think we're like, better explorers thanks to you!
Explorer’s Association
[postcanon]
Gen: Hey. It's been a crazy adventure, huh?
Eri: Yeah, Gen. You really saved us, Team Snakemouth!
Gen: You helped us be a bit more confident too...We'll do our best!
Questgiver
Hey, um...we've been tasked with like, evaluating an explorer team wreaking havoc near the commercial area.
We've heard they can get kinda violent, so we'd appreciate some backup?
ASAP!

[Explorer’s Association, before talking]
Kabbu: P-Please, let's not deal with Gen and Eri.
Kabbu: They always drag me into their quarrels.
Leif: Hey! Gen! Eri!
Kabbu: Leif! Stop that this instant!
[Association, after talking]
Leif: Gen and Eri seem a bit unreliable.
Vi: It's good to know they have our back, though!
Kabbu: Indeed. This camaraderie is what being an explorer is all about!
[Golden Settlement, Main Area]
Kabbu: Oh no... They've missed the festivities!
Leif: How depressing. Even we have to admit it was pretty awesome.
Vi: There's always next year, right?
Kabbu: Indeed. It could become team tradition!
Leif: ...Sounds nice.
[Ant Palace, Main Room: bringing back second artifact]
Kabbu: We should head to the audience...
[Outskirts, Bridge to Lost Sands]
Vi: It's Gen and Eri!
Kabbu: They seem stuck. Let us find a way for all of us to cross!
[Hive, Balcony]
Kabbu: We've found them! Let's make sure they get to the meeting.
[Honey Factory, Entrance]
Kabbu: It's a relief to have other teams here with us…
Vi: THEY should be relieved we decided to come along!
Leif: Why not both? We'll have to work together to get through this.
Vi: Meh. If you say so...
[Honey Factory, Processing, Puzzle: Overworld Spy, before rescuing Gen and Eri]
Kabbu: Are those Gen and Eri?
Leif: They seem to be in trouble. We should check it out.
[Rubber Prison, Giant Lair Bridge]
Kabbu: Everybody's here!
Vi: Yeah! We're good enough, but this is great!
Leif: It's very reassuring. Heh. We've made good friends.
Kabbu: We cannot afford to lose, for all of their sakes!
[Giant's Lair, Roach Village]
Kabbu: Our comrades are hurt…
Leif: Without them, we'd be even more hurt, as well…
Vi: Grr...That dumb Wasp King's the reason everyone got hurt! I'll show him!
[Association, postcanon]
Vi: I thought I had to be the best explorer, but…
Vi: Everything's better if you work together!
Leif: Gen and Eri helped a lot in their own way.
Kabbu: Correct! This camaraderie's one of exploring's many joys!
