Monsieur Scarlet

Golden Path, Tunnel

[We are ready!]

Levi: Excellent. He is just through here.

(minibubble) Kabbu: Huh?

Vi: Uhh... All I see is a wall?

Leif: Hmm. We can feel some faint magic, though.

Levi: You see...this wall is but an illusion.

Levi: Scarlet disguises the area up ahead from the common folk so he can hide there. Only his prey don't see it.

Levi: He only attacks when the victim accepts his request... That's why I cannot see the wall.

Celia: It's no wonder we couldn't find him, but when Levi picked up that suspicious quest…

Celia: Well, the pieces came together.

Kabbu: W-Wait, you mean Levi is Scarlet's target? That's crazy!

Levi: Please, calm yourself. I understand the risks. But if we follow the plan, we can capture him.

Celia: Levi will go ahead by himself, to drop Scarlet's guard.

Celia: Then, we will jump him while he's distracted.

Vi: A-Are you sure? He could really hurt you!

Levi: You have my trust. We are five, and he is but one.

Leif: ...Got it. Let's do it, then.

Celia: Glad you understand. Let's begin the mission!

Vi: W-WOAH...!

Celia: Shush! Don't screw this up!

Leif: Yeah, Vi. Shhhhhh.

Vi: Drop it, Leif.

Scarlet: Ah!~ Has a dashing explorer finally heard my plea?~

Levi: Greetings. You're...Rogu, the one who posted this notice?

Levi: I've come to hear what troubles you.

Scarlet: My, my! So direct and to the point...

Scarlet: You're too tense, dear…

Scarlet: Just relax. That is how you can help me...~

Levi: I- Uh... W-What? Am I in the wrong place?

Scarlet: Just...relax...~

Celia: LEVI!

Scarlet: Tch. A trap? How DARE you make a fool of me?

Kabbu: Give up, Scarlet! You are cornered!

Scarlet: Hmph. You have no idea what I've faced before. Come and try me.

Scarlet: I'll suck your life energy to the husk...!

[Defeat Scarlet]

Scarlet: …

Levi: ...I-It's over, Scarlet! You're coming with us...!

Scarlet: Curses... I lost. And now I have to flee like a coward...!

Levi: No... No! He escaped!

Kabbu: We must go after him!

Levi: Ngh... No, it's okay. We are all injured. Did quite the number on us…

Vi: So he just leaves scot free!?

Celia: Not...quite. We have seen his face and hideout, and lived to tell the tale.

Levi: Before, we could only track his patterns from the missions he posted on the boards.

Levi: But now that we know what he looks like, we can set up wanted posters. He will not operate freely.

Celia: If he's smart. He'll probably leave Bugaria after this.

Leif: We know it's a victory, but it's still a shame…

Levi: Y-Yeah. Ow... We're going to need a good rest…

Celia: Yeah... He didn't look strong at all, but I guess that's what makes him scariest…

Vi: Well. Case closed, I guess. Reward time?

Enemy Spy

A vile, flirty criminal who escaped the public eye for many moons.

He would post pleas for help in quest boards, and then drain the life from explorers who would come to help.

Thanks to Team Celia and Team Snakemouth, his face has become known. He has since gone missing to escape pursuit.

Vi: We've got that jerk right where we want him! But yikes... That umbrella hurts a lot!

Vi: And it heals him too! It's super annoying... We'll have to go all out!

Kabbu: Scarlet! How dare you hurt our comrades, and attack so many others!

Kabbu: Using your looks to allure innocent explorers, draining their lives with your attacks...! We will bring you to justice, fiend!

Leif: Tch. What a despicable criminal. We could respect his skill, if not for our distaste of him.

Leif: We must attack at full strength to offset his cumbersome healing!
