Explorer Check!

By: Gen and Eri

Difficulty: ***

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!

.

Team Snakemouth helped Gen and Eri stop the fake explorers' antics!

They managed to flee, however. They should be somewhere near the Explorer's Association...


Ant Kingdom, Commercial

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!


[Fight]

Cenn: R-Real explorers are this strong!?

Pisci: Let’s bail!


[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!


Outskirts, Explorer Association

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!
