Muze

Ant Kingdom, Residential

[Quest: Leif’s Request]

Muze: Tod! Tooood! Come on, it's lunch time!

(minibubble) Leif: !!! M-Muse!?

(minibubble) Vi: Muse?

Tod: Aww mom... Can't I play a bit longer?

Muze: Sweetie, you need to eat! It'll give you all the power you need to play all day!

Muze: I made you your favorite! A tasty Hearty Breakfast!

Tod: Woah! Thanks, mom!

Kabbu: Leif? Who is Muse?

Leif: That's...our wife.

Kabbu: Your wife!? But Leif, that's…

Leif: I-Impossible.

Vi: Then she's got to be your super mega granddaughter!

Kabbu: That's right...! Isn't it great? You can meet up with your relatives!

Leif: No. Not at all. How can we face them like this?

Leif: Lost to time, not even understanding ourselves…

Vi: It can't be that bad…

Leif: To them, we're just a stranger. If we're going to intrude on their life…

Leif: We need to know the truth about what happened to us.

Kabbu: We will help you, Leif. Every step of this journey.

Vi: Uh, yeah! And when you're ready, we can come back and meet them!

Leif: ...Thanks. Let's keep an eye out for clues.

Leif: We can't ignore our mission, though. Let's keep going.

Leif: (Even so...we're glad to see them safe and happy.)


[after defeating Zommoth]

Leif: Vi, Kabbu. We've been thinking on the way here.

Leif: Who are "we"? Who was I before I met Leif?

Leif: ...We don't know…

Kabbu: …

Leif: It feels like even if I'm not Leif, I've become him.

Leif: For better or worse.

Leif: If I threw out his memories and personality... These precious thoughts would get lost.

Leif: Maybe I can't discard them, even if I tried.

Vi: Um, what do YOU want to do?

Leif: ...We...want to meet our family. To apologize to Muse. To see Elizant again.

Leif: I want the same things Leif does!

Kabbu: Then do them! Carry on Leif's will! At least, I believe that will be okay!

Leif: Yes. That's...what we decided too.

Leif: I'm not Leif exactly, but we're still Leif.

Leif: Even though he got lost to time, and fused with a cordyceps…

Leif: We will live on as Leif!

Vi: Phew. Glad you won't go missing on us!

Kabbu: You're our friend, so this changes nothing!

Leif: ...We're uh, going to go in. Not sure what'll happen.

Vi: Do we stay out here?

Leif: No, please come with us. I want my...family to meet my friends.

Muze: O-Oh! Explorers! What brings you to our house?

Tod: Mom, it's Team Snakemouth! They saved us from the wasps!

Grandpa: Ohoho! Wow, it's an honor!

Leif: Err, yes. These are my friends Kabbu and Vi. And we're...Leif.

Leif: It's nice to meet you.

Kabbu: A pleasure!

(minibubble) Vi: Yup!

Grandpa: Hm? Young lad, you…

Muze: You look...quite a lot like father. When I was a kid…

Tod: Really!?

Leif: About that, that's why we're here…

Leif: We think we're um, one of your distant relatives. We've been looking for you for a long time…

Muze: W-what?! F-Father! What is the meaning of this!?

Grandpa: O-Oi! I have brothers! Don't jump on me!

Tod: You're my uncle? Really? You're not lying!?

Leif: ......It's something like that.

Muze: Oh my million ants!

Grandpa: I can't believe it!

Leif: S-Sorry, we...we're just barging into your life.

Leif: We'll be leaving now…

Muze: N-No, wait! It's a GOOD surprise!

Grandpa: You've gotta stay for dinner! Your friends, too!

Vi: Aw yes, free food!

Kabbu: ...Forgive Vi. She has little tact.

(minibubble) Vi: Oi!

Leif: Is it really okay?

Muze: Of course! You're family!

Leif: We're not completely sure…

Grandpa: I don't know how...but I know it's true! Don't worry!

Tod: Besides, you're the coolest explorer! My uncle's so cool!

Leif: T-Thank you. We'll stay, then.

(minibubble) Leif: ... *sniff*

Leif: Muze...your cooking is out of this world!

Leif: It...it's been so good to meet you. But we've got a mission to go to.

Grandpa: Oh, that's not an issue. Come back anytime!

Muze: You've got to tell us more explorer stories!

Tod: And bring some souvenirs!

Leif: We will. Please take care until then.

Vi: The food was super good, thank you!

Kabbu: Thank you very much for your hospitality.

Muze: You'll always have a home here. Have safe travels alright?

Vi: Heheheh.

Kabbu: How're you feeling, Leif?

Leif: Thank you. We can never truly repay you.

Vi: Oh, it's whatevs.

Kabbu: Seeing you happy is ample reward!

Leif: We're truly fortunate to have met you back then.

Leif: You saved us in more ways than one.

Vi: ...Come on, you're not the sappy type.

Kabbu: If something else troubles you, just come to us!

Leif: Heh. Same. Let's get a move on, then. There's a lot to do.

Textbox: Through the bonding experience, the team can now use the Frost Bowling skill in battle!


Muze: Leif, don't work too hard! Come rest every now and then!

Leif: Thank you, Muze. We'll pace ourselves.


Ant Palace, Bridge

[Ending]

Muze: You should've told us you were protecting all of us!

Muze: Hehehe...I'll bake you a cake later. Make sure to come eat it!

Leif: ...Hehe. Yeah, Muze. That sounds great.



Npc Spies

[Explorer’s Association: first wasp invasion]

Leif: They're safe! Thank goodness…

Vi: You wanna talk to them?

Leif: No. It's not time yet. We have a mission to do.

(minibubble) Kabbu: ...


[Ant Kingdom, Residential]

Leif: Muze...We can't believe even their names are similar.

Kabbu: I'm not superstitious, but...it has to be fate!

Vi: Do they act the same and stuff, too?

Leif: ...Nah. Muse was loud, confident and outgoing...Kinda like Vi.

Leif: She had pretty strong kicks, too.

Vi: You two must've been a super strong team!

Leif: ...Heh, well. She did a lot of the work. We had no magic back then.

Kabbu: That's right...! I'm so used to your magic, I'd forgotten.

Leif: (...Goodbye, Muse.)
