Zzz...

Cough cough.

Mjaj? Ajeukx... yrdiuf... ghsiaoenbx?

Jsgsn. Sjaika? Hsjaosidjs...?

...N-no. We can speak Bugnish.

............No.

We are fine now.

Where are we? The spider... where is it?

Interesting. It seems we owe our life to you, Bee.

Moth is fine. And we were. Like all others that came before and after us.

Probably.

We have little choice. We will accompany you.

...Not really.

How reassuring.

Wait.

This crystal... it's an ancient artifact. Although it's too heavy to carry.

It was used to recordwhere people have walked through.

Since this one is yellow, it will heal our HP and TP too. Try smacking it sometime.

It's a good chance to stretch our legs.

Oh, the fatigue, it kicks in...

Hmm...These letters look familiar to us. We should be able to decipher it.

We, uh, are unsure? This is new.

We mean it, it's the truth.

And what if we were? You'd turn us in?

We'll try.

How...is that useful? It sounds tiring.

Well, it sounds mildly useful...We'll try it out.

It's pretty cool.

We're telling the truth. If we had ice magic...that accursed spider wouldn't have caught us.

Very well. If you need us to freeze anything...just press |button5| while we are leading.

The spores in this room are quite nice.

As long as we can keep control over it…

Hm. This is good, though.

If it's water…

Then it can be frozen.

Mhm. Enemies...the water around us…

Even though they seem like obstacles, we can exploit them for our own benefit.

When in doubt, go left.

What a drag…

The craftmanship on this statue is pretty good. Compared to everything else, at least.

...? When did the roaches disappear?

So pretty recently…

(...This can't be right...)

The door's open. Hopefully there's not another trapdoor…

Yeah...we fell straight unto the floor. The rest is history.

This place is full of switches, how impractical.

A giant door wasn't secure enough?

This level of security is excessive.

Unlike Bee herself.

At least we should be able to freeze them.

This room is really tall, isn't it?

Thinking about it isn't going to change anything.

Did we cause the tremor?

Pretty sure the door should be open now.

They aren't that special.

Let's put that energy into reaching the exit.

It's too early to celebrate.

...

Sueska? Mijrelf ytrik...

Y-Yes...this mask has very potent magic. We reacted strongly to it…

The Queen...

...?

We will have you this time...

It won't let us escape. We must finish it now.

...Thank you. We don't know much of what's happened to us. But beating up that spider was great stress relief.

We should probably leave while we can.

Aaaaaaaaaaah!

Not really…

But eh, what should we do next?

Was this area built pretty recently?

Hey! Gen! Eri!

Maki?

Maybe what he needed was a little space…

Nothing. Nothing at all.

We didn't do anything.…

It's not like we look any better.

She's crying. We must be in the right place.

So, your brother went missing?

...Yes, let's get going.

...Take care, you two.

Alright, let's go.

Well, this doesn't seem like a safe place to stay in.

Only one way to find out...

Hmm. So this is Chuck's Abode?

For someone so well spoken to make such a basic mistake…

It's just such a shame.

Eh, there's no time. We will tell you later.

We're friends?

...We can get used to that.

The hammock looks nice to sleep in.

It's some old bug.

Or he croaks.

No problem. The breakfast platter is one of our favorites.

This room brings back bad memories.

We would really prefer not to…

How touching…

Um. Yes, thank you.

This place sure is nicer without spiders and floods.

Very funny, Beetle.

Yeah.

For once, it is not trying to kill us.

The first settler's statue...it's nice to see this hasn't changed.

Life works in mysterious ways.

...Goodbye, Your Majesty.

Mmm. Agreed. Maybe we should give him two honey drops instead of one.

That sounded really sad.

A pet, huh…

Maybe we could…

So small. To think we looked like that, once.

...And you must have been a chubby whiner, Beetle.

You, being kind and supportive... thought we knew you well.

We do pay well.

Oh. How noble...it's moving, really. Kinda.

Ah, the inn founders.

Say, why do you think that is?

How they could work just as hard for something they didn't create?

Shall we call it a night?

Be glad after the review.

Trying to bribe us already, huh.

I hope so, too.

Hmmm…

We haven't had a bed so cozy in years. Or any bed, really. It was good.

Mhm.

How tactful.

So cruel, Beetle. So cruel.

Ain't this place fancy.

Ah, Bee. You're not too bad after all.

Yes.

You seem to care for her.

Some of us are.

Perhaps a powerful medal?

...Bug Ranger?

Beetle.

We don't see the appeal of this doll.

...We just found out about them.

...Heh. Thank you. It sounds like a fun time.

We've spent a bit too much time here. Let's get moving.

This place is full of fancy folk. Maybe he is selling expensive items.

Heh, yo-

That's not a real name, is it?

Half of his face is visible…

What?

...We do not see how she is that special.

(We only wanted to watch…)

No audition?

This is why you shouldn't meet your idols.

Halt, you fiend! You will sully the princess no longer!

You freakish beasts, you dare stand between us and the princess!?

You chose poorly. Prepare yourself!

Curses! That villain escaped with the princess.

Do not complain! Our suffering is slim, compared to what the princess faces.

Out of our way, scoundrels. We have no time for thee.

Your greed knows no end...prepare yourself!

Uh........Oh, this battle has given us such renewed strength!

We must reach our liege with haste!

Eat quickly, for there is no time to celebrate.

We must reach our liege with haste!

You will pay for your crimes!

No...we are too drained from the fight!

It was all for you, Princess.

It went way better than okay.

This place is beyond empty. Is this really it?

It's still a bit barren…

Commerce excites you too much, Bee.

That bag looks really heavy.

Such strength...perhaps we were born as the wrong bug…

Everyone has a role model.

Maybe a house for us.

You two can't talk.…

Aren't those poisonous?

Hmm. We will have to try one as well…

Ah, a true gourmet. We may have things in common.

There has to be more to it than that…

We could go for a mushroom salad.

It's cute sleeping like that…

Which he is now selling at high prices.

What a...cute creature. It's almost a shame that we must fight it.

Our basic ice magic cannot reach it while it is flying. We might have to resort to other means to bring them down.

Hmm...we are quite fond of it. Perhaps we could keep one as a pet?

Bee would have lots of fun taking care of it.

This...thing is really annoying. Ice feels like it should pierce the armor, but it doesn't.

Beetle, flip this nuisance.

Cordyceps. It seems it picked an ant as its host.

How weird, that it would attack us.

It's nothing special, our attacks should take it out quickly.

Huh. Mushrooms get crazier by the day.

Although some of our skills could finish it quickly... Bee, save us some TP.

This may be unbecoming of us but...After so long, we're going to get revenge.

For all the time we spent on that cocoon...you will suffer tenfold!

As long as Bee keeps it knocked down, we will attack it without a hint of mercy!

What a hideous snail. It's all slimy and disgusting.

It's stubborn too, going into its shell when under our attacks.

Maybe Beetle can draw it out? Let's make sure to not be hit by their sedatives.

Honestly...Seedlings are way cuter. And less annoying to deal with, too.

Let's team up with Beetle and freeze it while it's flipped!

How cute. We've never seen a flying thief before. It steals food before anything else.

Maybe if we give it enough of Beetle's snacks, it will join us?

...Let's defeat it quickly.

So this is a bandit. Can't say we've seen one before.

As long as we deal with them quickly, we have nothing to fear.

Let's freeze it on its tracks.

We don't really know who you are, Zasp.

Unlike Bee and Beetle, we don't really care for you at all.

That's why we will freeze you without hesitation!
