Far Grasslands

1. Entrance

[Overworld Spy, before talking to Team Maki]

Kabbu: Far Grasslands…

Leif: Heavy folliage here.

Vi: This is part of the Wasp Kingdom, they probably don't care much about cleaning stuff up.

Kabbu: Lots of wild creatures live here, we need to be extra careful.

Kabbu: (...Still...)

[Story]

Kabbu: And so, we arrive.

(minibubble) Yin: Muh muh!

Vi: Hey, Kabbu. You're from the north, right?

Leif: We do recall hearing it once or twice.

Maki: You had many tales of this land when we first met. Would you serve as our guide?

Kabbu: ...Yes. To be sincere, I've been waiting to return to this wretched place.

Vi: Uh, what? Wretched?

Leif: You've been acting weird. What's going on?

Kabbu: I have only bad memories of this border. Listen, and listen well.

Kabbu: These are the Far Grasslands. They connect the Lost Sands with the Wasp Kingdom.

Kabbu: Given the state of affairs, it is likely their walls are sealed. Even if we walk north to them…

Leif: We wouldn't be able to get in.

Vi: How did you get here, then?

Kina: There's obviously some off-path or something…

Kabbu: That is correct. East of here...is...the Wild Swamplands.

Kabbu: Hideous monsters, wild tribes, thick water at every turn…

Kabbu: It's...very dangerous.

Maki: Kabbu, I had no idea it was this dreadful…

Maki: I'll take your words to heart, Kabbu. It's clear this is not a journey we can underestimate.

Maki: Kina, you should stay behind with Yin.

Kina: What? Are you crazy? You know how strong we are together!

Maki: I cannot risk this young bug suffering a harsh fate.

Maki: Please, I beg you to watch her until I return.

Kina: Grrr! You always do this! You always run off without me!

Kabbu: Kina... Please, try to understand your brother!

Kina: I'll watch Yin. But I do it for you, brother. Not for her!

(minibubble) Yin: Muh muh!

Kina: If you don't come back...I'll beat you up!

Maki: ...Sigh. Not an easy day for anybody.

Leif: We aren't at the swamp yet, but we cannot relax.

Vi: Yeah. It's east of here, right? I'll make sure there's no traps around!

Kabbu: This area changes constantly, so I can't tell what's ahead.

Kabbu: Stay close to me. Let's go!

Kabbu: (Forgive me, team. If I told you my plans, you'd…)

[Overworld Spy, with Maki]

Kabbu: All being said, it's an honor to travel with you!

Maki: Despite my rank, I'm pretty normal... So please don't feel the need to be too respectful.

Vi: You act anything but normal!

[Overworld Spy, without Maki]

Kabbu: I still can't believe we got to be part of Maki's team, even if briefly!

Leif: You're such a fanboy.

Vi: He's the one who should be honored! We're the super best Bugarian team!

[Quest: They Took Her…!]

[Spy Bumble]

Vi: Woah, she actually made it!

Leif: Let's stop her from going further in by herself.

Bumble: H-Hey! I made it…

Leif: We could've escorted you, you know.

Bumble: I-It's ok! I gotta be brave to rescue sis!

Kabbu: Allow us to accompany you from here to the Wasp Kingdom, at least.

Bumble: A-Alright. Let's go...!

Vi: It'll be fine. Just stay behind us!

[end of quest-related dialogue]

2. Lake

[Overworld Spy, with Maki]

Maki: There's the border. Well guarded as usual.

Kabbu: Not a fight we want to pick…

Leif: You're absolutely sure we can't just blitz in?

Vi: Say the word, and I'm ON IT!

Maki: They're too many. Our only chance is to sneak in. Let's go.

[ch5, trying to walk toward the gate]

Maki: We shouldn't just waltz in on their front gate.

Maki: Let's look for another route.

[Overworld Spy, between ch5 and postgame]

Kabbu: The Wasp Kingdom border is...not welcoming, to put it in plain words.

Vi: You can tell they don't like visitors. It's like that poster outside my room!

Leif: Let's leave it at that…

[postgame]

Wasp Trooper: Team Snakemouth…

Wasp: ...Enjoy your time in the Wasp Kingdom.

[Overworld Spy, postgame]

Kabbu: Even though we're at peace, this border is...not welcoming, to put it in plain words.

Vi: You can tell they haven't liked visitors for long. It's like that poster outside my room!

Leif: Let's leave it at that...

3. Foliage

[Overworld Spy, with Maki]

Vi: It's way too messy in here! I can barely make out the road!

Leif: It's not like there's a town nearby. We're just plowing through the wildlife.

Maki: The Ant Kingdom and its outskirts took a long time to tidy up. It makes you appreciate the workers more.

Kabbu: We've taken them for granted...!

[Overworld Spy, without Maki]

Vi: It's way too messy in here! I can barely make out the road!

Leif: It's not like there's a town nearby. We're just plowing through the wildlife.

Kabbu: All the more reason to watch our every step!

4. Thorns

[Overworld Spy, with Maki]

Maki: Blasted thorns...my one weakness! Whatever shall we do?

Leif: Buckle up. We're going on a safe and magical ride.

Maki: ...! What incredible magic...

[Overworld Spy, without Maki]

Leif: Y'know... we've been thinking of opening a tour business.

Vi: A business?

Leif: Just shield up and carry bugs through the thorns. For a price. Got the idea from Maki.

Kabbu: That's a fantastic idea! Just, um, please don't charge us…

(minibubble) Vi: No kidding!

5. Clearing

[Overworld Spy, before quest]

Vi: ...There's nothing here!

Kabbu: Hm...is this truly a dead end?

Leif: We can feel some faint magic in this place... But there is nothing we can do now. Let's return later then?

[Quest: Confidential]

[Overworld Spy]

Kabbu: Sir Maki's here. Let us help Yin out however we can!

Kina: Hurry up... I want to get out of here...

Maki: Thanks for meeting me here. I'll explain when you're ready...are you?

Textbox: Yes

No

[No]

Maki: I understand. Come back when you are ready.

[Yes]

Kina: So what's the big plan?

Maki: Yin brought me here once. I believe it's where she was born.

Maki: She may have been waiting to come back to mature…

Leif: Is there any basis for that?

Maki: ...Well, no. But trust me on this one.

Kabbu: That we will. But why did you require our assistance?

Vi: Yeah. You made it here all by your- Aw crud!

Maki: For I suspected this might happen!

Vi: You could've told us before!

Kina: Maki, explaining his plans? Please…

Maki: Not now, Kina!

Leif: They were probably attracted by the energy Yin's giving off.

Maki: Don't let them get near Yin! We must protect her until she pupates!

Kabbu: Team, let us stop them!

[post-battle]

Kabbu: Oof. Seems we managed to ward them off.

Yin: …

Yin: ...Ma...M-Maki...!

Maki: Yin, you know my name?

Kina: Oh, great. She can talk now…

Yin: N...Nice to me...meet you!

Kabbu: A-Aww! Nice to meet you too!

Maki: Thank you, Team Snakemouth. You helped me keep her safe.

Vi: Yin's our friend too! It's fine!

Leif: She's got quite potent magic...wonder what'll come of it.

Yin: Ma...magic!

Kina: ...Well...back to the castle with us. Right, brother?

Maki: Not yet. First, let me reward you for everything you've done.

Kabbu: S-Sir Maki! These items are…

Maki: About the least I could give you, don't worry.

Leif: We'll make good use of them.

Maki: Is that so? Well, we've been looking for sparring partners.

Vi: Huh? Like...fight you for real?

Kina: Yeah. Brother needs some real challengers!

Maki: If you're interested...you know where to find us.

Leif: Uh, not really. You're always moving around…

Maki: ...The Ant Palace's bridge.

Kabbu: W-We'll think about it!

Yin: By...by-bye!

[Overworld Spy, post-quest]

Leif: We'd always felt some magic here, but…

Vi: Didn't expect it to be cuz of Yin, right?

(minibubble) Leif: Mhm.

Kabbu: I do wonder where Yin's parents went, though...?

[end of quest-related dialogue]

6. Outside Cave

[Overworld Spy, before ch5]

Kabbu: This must be... Tch.

Leif: Kabbu...?

[Overworld Spy, ch5 and on]

Kabbu: To think all these areas are connected... we are lucky the Wasps never took advantage of this.

Leif: Well, no way to know if they did.

Vi: No point in thinking about it!

Riz: ...You're going to the village? I'll go with you, just in case...

Textbox: Yes

No

[Spy Riz]

Leif: Riz was quite eager to start a fight. He’s quite overprotective.

Vi: Living in the wild’s gotta put you on edge!

Kabbu: I hope we can move past our fight and become good friends.

7. Cave

[Overworld Spy]

Leif: It's way too cramped in here. This cave could learn from Snakemouth.

Vi: There's a buncha doors! Someone lives here?

Kabbu: Hard to say. Let's see if we can open all of them with time.

Miner Ant: Who do you think put those gates there? Was it the wasps?

Ant: I hope us being here isn't considered an act of war…

Miner Ant: I didn't want to come to the Far Grasslands... but the Queen's orders are absolute.

Ant: I just hope we don't run into any monsters while here...

Common Mines Ant Guard dialogue and Miner Ant spies

Diana

[postgame]

Miner Ant: It's a relief not having to worry about angering the Wasp Kingdom anymore...

8. Wizard

[Overworld Spy]

Vi: Shadiest place in a while, huh.

Leif: Can't say we're not curious.

Kabbu: I'd rather we focus on the mission... but surely a small detour would not hurt?

Sign: STAY AWAY

Sign: GET OUT

Sign: NO SOLICITORS

[examine the rock before thorns, first time]

Kabbu: A tower, in this wild place?

Leif: Let's break in.

Vi: Aw yes! We're on the same page!

Kabbu: I-Isn't it private property!?

[check rock again]

Textbox: An imposing tower stands tall amongst the wilderness...

9. Wizard Tower Basement

[first entrance]

Leif: A library? We expected something a bit more, er...evil.

Vi: Bleh. I hate when the treasure turns out to be books.

Kabbu: This must be someone's residence! We're...we're trespassers!

Leif: Shh. Relax. We've just gotta get out before-

Wizard: BLIMEY! WHAT IS THAT NOISE!?

Wizard: What the- What are you folks doing here!? This is a private domicile!

Wizard: ...I should've patched up that ditch…

(minibubble) Wizard: *Grumble Grumble*

Wizard: Get outta here, aight? Or I'll kick you out myself!

Wizard: And don't you dare touch any books! I'll track you down!

Vi: W-Was that a spider?

Leif: Seemed more like a friendly neighborhood Tarantula.

Kabbu: We...we could've gone to prison…

Leif: Guess we'd better get out before he calls explorers on us.

[Overworld Spy]

Vi: Yay...so many books…

Kabbu: This Tarantula is quite well read! There's a few classics in here!

Leif: Oh, we've been meaning to read this one. "World Round Pastry".

Leif: Maybe if we don't take it outside, he won't mind?

Kabbu: Absolutely not! We can't risk it!

Notes: "I've found the perfect potion recipe! But blimey, everything's so spread across the land! ...Ahh, I'm too lazy..."

10. Wizard Tower Stairs

[Overworld Spy, door locked]

Vi: Wow! Look at all the flying books!

Leif: Weird, we can't feel any magic here. The Tarantula must not use any crystals.

Kabbu: I understand your awe, but the door is locked! We'll...have to ask for help.

(minibubble) Kabbu: Gulp.

[Overworld Spy, door unlocked]

Vi: Wow! Look at all the flying books!

Leif: Weird, we can't feel any magic here. The Tarantula must not use any crystals.

Kabbu: He must be one of the 10 sorcerers! What an honor! To think we'd trespass his property…

Vi: Eh, we're helping him out. So it's okay!

(minibubble) Leif: Right.

11. Wizard Tower Attic

[Overworld Spy]

Leif: That's a dream catcher! Incredible!

Kabbu: It's unusual to see you so pumped up!

Leif: Mother always nagged father to buy her one. They were very expensive, though.

Vi: Bleh, who's gonna pay up for that? Those don't even work!

Leif: But this one's owned by a wizard. Maybe…

Leif: ...Ah, we don't really need it anymore, do we...?

(minibubble) Kabbu: Leif...

[Spy Wizard]

Leif: This tower is incredible. Did he build it all by himself?

Vi: I hope so. It'd cost a fortune to buy…

Kabbu: He truly seems to be a sorcerer. It must've been child's play!

[talk, door locked]

Kabbu: Err...g-good sir, would you spare a moment of your time?

Wizard: ...You're still here!? Can't you see I'm busy!?

Leif: The door's locked. We literally can't leave.

Vi: Not without breaking something…

Wizard: O-Oh. Sigh... Blimey. I get really into my potions.

Wizard: It's open now.

Leif: ...It is?

Wizard: I'm a wizard! You dare underestimate me!?

Kabbu: Um, thanks for letting us out. Our apologies for breaking in.

Wizard: It's whatever. All I care about is finishing this brew!

[talk again]

[Quest: Find the Ingredients!]

Kabbu: Sir wizard?

Wizard: Blimey! You're STILL HERE!?

Kabbu: Yes! You seem...troubled. We're explorers, yes?

Wizard: Good for you.

Leif: What he means is, it seems like you need help.

Wizard: Do you know anything about extracting the magical compounds of materials?

Vi: Nooooope.

Wizard: And you boast you can help me!?

Kabbu: Well...can't we?

Wizard: …

Wizard: There's a potion I want to make. But its materials…

Wizard: I'd have to travel everywhere! I hate leaving the tower!

Leif: What kind of ingredients?

Wizard: "Nectar from the critters of the land, Fruit that blooms in lifeless soil, and the essence of frost itself!"

Vi: That sounds super cool! So what's the ingredients?

Wizard: Hmph. If you really want to help, you'll figure it out.

(minibubble) Vi: Real helpful.

Kabbu: A riddle from one of the 10 great sorcerers!

Leif: We'll try. Make it worth our while.

Wizard: Blimey, you've no respect. You won't believe how good this deal will be!

[talk again]

Wizard: So? Did you find all three ingredients?

Textbox: Yes

No

[Yes, have all three]

Wizard: ...BLIMEY! You actually got them! Quick, hand them over!

Wizard: Yes...yes! I can feel the magic in this brew!

Wizard: You really did help me. As thanks...I shall bestow great power upon you.

Wizard: You there, bluey. You can use magic, right? And you've got a fun toy, kid.

(minibubble) Vi: Not a kid.

Leif: How did you...Oh, right. Sorcerer. Yeah, we've got ice magic.

Wizard: Perfect. Now… IN THE DARKNESS, MASTER THIS TECHNIQUE!

Textbox: Leif and Vi can now use the Frost Relay skill in battle!

Wizard: Worth it, eh?

Vi: W-Woah! I just learned stuff all of a sudden!

Leif: This power's incredible!

Kabbu: (W-What about me?)

Wizard: Chin up, Beetle. You'll figure one out.

Wizard: I'm gonna go back to work now. I guess you're uh, welcome to visit.

Vi: Thank you! Now that's a reward!

[talk again]

Wizard: Stay as long as you want. Just don't take any books!

[end of quest-related dialogue]

Capsule Machine: Hello there! Do you want a capsule? That will cost |currency,var,50|!

Textbox: Yes

No

[pick up Bad Book]

Wizard: Blimey! That book's...garbage! Take it with you.

Vi: Bleh. If it's bad, I don't want it.

Wizard: TOO BAD! You wanted to rummage through my stuff? Take the garbage too!

Vi: G-Guh…

12. Plants

[Overworld Spy, with Maki]

Maki: What dense foliage... It's getting tougher to press forward.

Vi: It's kinda nice though. In a weird way.

Leif: The Ant Kingdom used to have more plants in it. Maybe they could have built around them better?

Maki: Such is the cost of building a city…

[Overworld Spy, without Maki]

Vi: All the plants are annoying. But also nice. In a weird way, you know?

Leif: The Ant Kingdom used to have more plants in it. Maybe they could have built around them better?

Kabbu: Mayhaps we could discuss a project to plant flowers in unused spaces...

13. Outside Village

[Overworld Spy, with Maki]

Leif: The path seems to split. Anyone's got a guess?

Maki: No need to take chances. If we keep moving north, we'll get there.

Kabbu: (It's nice to have someone more reliable... )

(minibubble) Vi: I heard you!

[Approach Fishing Village entrance, with Maki]

Riz: Halt! Who goes there!? This is private property! LEAVE!

Maki: We've gone a bit off-track. We shouldn't disturb this settlement…

[Overworld Spy, without Maki]

Leif: The mission being done for, it wouldn't hurt to explore this area a bit more.

Kabbu: Just watch your step. The monsters are still dangerous!

[Approach Fishing Village entrance, without Maki]

Riz: Halt! Who goes there!? This is private property! LEAVE!

Leif: Woah, chill out. We're just walking around…

Riz: I won't say it twice! I'll protect this land... Get OUT!

Textbox: You've got it all wrong!

Sorry. We'll leave!

[You've got it all wrong!]

Kabbu: Excuse me! We come in peace! We're simply exploring the f-

Riz: I warned you! If you won't leave, I'll drive you out!

Vi: Whatever! You're probably hiding treasure or something!

Riz: I KNEW IT! POACHERS!

(minibubble) Leif: Way to go, Vi...

Vi: W-Wait, we're not poachers!

Riz: HRAAAAAAGH!

[walking in from the fishing village]

Riz: W-where did you POACHERS come from?!

Riz: My village... What did you do to it?!

Vi: We didn't do any-

Riz: SILENCE! YOU WILL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS!

[post-battle, either version]

Riz: N-No, the village...

Kabbu: Listen! We truly meant you no harm!

Vi: Y-Yeah, sorry!

Riz: …

Riz: Then, you're not poachers?

Leif: Nope.

Riz: …

Riz: My...my bad. It's been tense with so many Wasps about.

Vi: Do we look like Wasps!?

Riz: It's only my family and I here. We don't see many others…

Riz: I assumed the worst. My bad.

Kabbu: It's alright. Forgive us for the smacking!

Riz: What DO you want, then?

Leif: Uh, we really just wanted to look around. Maybe help a bit?

Vi: For a price!

Kabbu: Definitely nothing evil!

Riz: ...Well, ok.

Riz: I'll let my family know of your arrival. Please don't disturb us, though.

14. Fishing Village

[first entrance from submarine]

[Overworld Spy]

Kabbu: To think we missed this settlement during our mission! It's a nice place.

Vi: That's why exploring's fun! There's secrets everywhere!

Leif: They seem a bit wary... Have we intruded?

[Spy Rizza or Riz’s father]

Kabbu: It seems this is actually a small village!

Leif: They seem a bit wary... Have we intruded?

Riz’s Father: Hm? Riz there didn't raise a ruckus? Well, hello...

Rizza: W-Who're you? Where's my brother...?

[After defeating Riz]

[Overworld Spy]

Kabbu: This is a soothing place. Could have gone without the harsh welcome, however.

Vi: That's why exploring's fun! You get to meet lotsa weird people!

Leif: (...She's changed, hasn't she?)

(minibubble) Kabbu: (Yeah.)

Riz’s Father: It's a perfect day to fish for worms, ain't it?

[Spy Riz’s Father]

Vi: Fishing SUCKS!

Leif: How rude. You have no concept of patience.

Kabbu: Indeed. Fishing soothes the soul, and even provides food!

Kabbu: My master and I used to sit long hours just to fish and chat…

Vi: ...I uh, respect that. But it won't make me like fishing...

Rizza: Bro always protects us! But he's gotta look for food, too. I hope he's not too stressed...

[Spy Rizza]

Vi: How can she be so cheerful? You can't do anything in here.

Kabbu: Well, there's fishing…

Vi: ...Exactly!

Leif: She's probably never seen a proper city, so she's happy with what she knows.

Vi: ...Does it really work that way...?

Riz: ...You seem like good folk, but I'm watching you. We've worked too hard for our peace.

[Spy Riz]

Leif: Riz was quite eager to start a fight. He's quite overprotective.

Vi: Living in the wild's gotta put you on edge!

Kabbu: I hope we can move past our fight and become good friends.

[Quest: Sweets from Outside]

Rizza: Heya... You're from the big sand city, right?

Kabbu: Well, no. But we've been there, young lass.

Rizza: Really!? Is it true there's a big sweet maker!?

Leif: There's a baker. Same thing, probably.

Rizza: Cool! You know... Bro brings us food every day, even if dad fishes.

Rizza: But it's super salty... I wish I could eat some sweets. Like a Nutty Cake!

Kabbu: Say nothing more, you precious child! We'll get it!

(minibubble) Vi: Well, for like 10 berries...

[talk again]

Rizza: You got the cake? The super Nutty Cake!?

[exit out/give incorrect]

Rizza: You didn't? ...Aww...

[give Nutty Cake]

Rizza: Yay!!!

Riz: Oi, what's that!? What are you giving my sister!?

Vi: Chill out. It's just cake.

Rizza: Super yum cake!

Riz: ......Cake?

Kabbu: You don't know what cake is?

Riz: Err, no. Not really.

Leif: Preposterous. Here, try some.

Riz: W-Woah... Incredible!

Vi: Sweets are the best!

Rizza: Hehehe...Thanks! I got to share with bro, too!

Riz: I'll have to go into the city and get some for father…

Rizza: Oh! Here is something I found earlier! You can have it!

Rizza: Thanks! Can't wait until next time I eat it! Yummy!

[end of quest-related dialogue]

[first talk]

That One Stickbug: ...Ah! You found me!

Stickbug: Please don't tell anyone I am here. Take this.

Stickbug: Keep this a secret, please.

[subsequent talks]

Stickbug: ...

15. Outside Swamplands

[Overworld Spy, before swamp]

Kabbu: …

Maki: Stay steadfast, Kabbu. We're almost there.

(minibubble) Vi: Yeah!

Kabbu: Sorry, I was just thinking. Let's go.

(minibubble) Leif: Mhm.

[Story, exit Swamplands]

Kabbu: Huff...If only I could express how glad I am to be out of there.

Vi: No surprise, we can do anything!

Maki: It's not much of a celebration, but we get to set up camp and rest for a few moments.

Leif: Would it be wise to stop now?

Maki: Of course. We've all taken quite a beating. My leg most of all…

Maki: If you're going to infiltrate their kingdom, you'd best be in top shape. Give me a moment.

Leif: Not bad.

Vi: We should eat something. I brought some secret honey!

Maki: You got through that treacherous place while keeping a stash? Incredible…

Leif: You'd best share, Vi. We're starving.

Vi: Eat your own stuff!

Vi: ...Just kidding. It's fine this once. We beat that super huge monster!

Kabbu: Everyone…

(minibubble) Kabbu: *sniff*

Maki: Kabbu? Are you hurt!?

Kabbu: N-No. I'm just so happy. That our journey didn't end today, and we can share more of these moments.

Leif: You're such a softie... Of course we'll get through everything if we're together.

Vi: Team Snakemouth's the best for a reason!

Maki: Heh. It seems it was my loss for not putting you on my team, eh?

Maki: Maybe I would have made such an incredible bond, too.

Leif: You're our friend too. Kinda.

Vi: Thanks for passing us and all.

Kabbu: I'm sorry for delaying us with my sentimentality…

Kabbu: Let's feast and get ready for our mission!

Maki: Now, for the briefing...

Maki: The path ahead is one of the structural weaknesses into the walls I spoke of.

Maki: Because this area is covered by heavy foliage, it seems the Wasps haven't noticed this crack yet.

Leif: Well, good for us. Let's go in then.

Maki: Don't be hasty. You mustn't let the Wasps catch you.

Maki: If you're captured... That's it. It's over.

Vi: Can't be any tougher than the bandit hideout.

Maki: Do not underestimate the Wasps, Vi.

Kabbu: Indeed, we must be utmostly cautious.

Leif: Yeah, Vi. You better not do ANY underestimating.

Vi: I get it! Drop it already!

Maki: Uhm, either way, I shall remain here securing the exit route.

Maki: If you get hurt, do retreat and come to me for treatment. You cannot afford to be reckless.

Kabbu: Team! We're starting the operation!

(minibubble) Vi: Alright!

(minibubble) Leif: Woo!

[Overworld Spy, post-swamp]

Kabbu: Am I beyond glad to leave that swamp…

Leif: We can leave it behind, now. We never have to go back.

Vi: What if we missed some treas-...I mean, yeah. It's over!

(minibubble) Leif:…

Maki: Do you need to rest, Team Snakemouth?

Textbox: Yes

No

[try to go to wasp kingdom without reuniting with Maki/defeating Beast]

Vi: Wait, where's Maki?

Kabbu: Crickey! He must still be in the swamp!

Leif: Let's go back and find him.

[Quest: Butler Missing Again!]

[Spy Madeleine]

Kabbu: Madeleine's here. Let's start the Seb rescue operation!

Madeleine: Ah! It's you! We meet again.

Leif: So it goes. Seb's lost again?

Madeleine: Pretty much. We were sightseeing the swamp...And when I turned around, he was gone!

(minibubble) Kabbu: Sightseeing!?

Madeleine: He's incorrigible!

Kabbu: Madeleine! Why would you think this was a place to take in sights!?

Madeleine: I've heard of the Leafbugs living here. I wanted to meet them personally!

Madeleine: ...But yes, the area's also full of monsters and murky water! They didn't mention THAT!

Kabbu: Blasted tourist agencies…

Vi: Well, it's fine! We'll get him back!

Madeleine: This time, I shall accompany you.

Kabbu: B-But…

Madeleine: Do not worry. I can handle myself. And I may even get to see some Leafbugs!

Madeleine: ...And I can't just stay here worrying about Seb. It's mortifying!

Madeleine: So let's go! Into the swamp!

Vi: ...This isn't just a leisure trip, y'know…

(minibubble) Kabbu: Hngh...

Leif: Easy there. We'll get through this just fine.
