Happy Birthday Cutscenes
# Link Text
1 ✔

I just wanted to wish you a very happy birthday.
The fact that you stand here today is proof of all you have overcome in your life.
Continue upon your noble path and live for greatness.

2 ✔

Happy birthday to you, (Captain).
Virtue, integrity, and honor. As we've traveled together, I've witnessed you exhibiting these qualities over the course of the year.
Please allow me to continue watching over you from here on out.

3 ✔

Happy birthday, (Captain). You've grown 365 days wiser.
So how'd your year go? Did you accomplish everything you hoped to?
A year of life really isn't as long as it seems. It's hardly easy to follow a path you believe in...
But every day counts for something. I hope we can continue working together, sparing no effort in pursuit of justice.
Please allow me to look after you this year as well.

4 ✔

Happy birthday, (Captain).
As you age, you may find that time and experience blur the vision of justice that once seemed so clear to you.
Experience broadens your outlook, but it can be easier to lose your way if you're trying to look in all directions at once.
When you have those moments, I want you to plant your feet firmly on the ground, and carefully pick your destination.
But rest assured. Even if you should wander from your chosen path, your traveling companions will always be by your side.
I will be here to search the horizon with you and help you decide which way to go.
So please keep moving forward without fear, (Captain).

5 ✔

How do you feel now that you're one year older, (Captain)?
Over this past year, I've witnessed many things that amazed me while traveling with you—things that surpassed even my wildest imagination.
At the same time, there were things that caused me to fear as well.
I fear that the power which you possess will become a burden for you.
In my line of work, I have seen many become consumed by power and stray from their original paths... I need not tell you what became of them in the end.
Of course, with a heart as strong and kind as yours, I'm sure there is no need to fear such a fate in your case.
But if you are ever faced with any kind of hardship, please do not hesitate to turn to me for support.
I hope that I can be of assistance to you as you continue on your journey. I look forward to accompanying you on your adventures from here on out, (Captain).

Happy New Year Cutscenes
# Link Text
1 ✔

I wish you a happy New Year.
Your future is the sum of each year's experiences. I hope this year bears fruit for you as well.

2 ✔

Happy New Year, (Captain).
Nothing can replace the time I've spent on the crew.
I hope that I too will be of some worth to your future...

3 ✔

Happy New Year. I actually bought some eggnog, so would you care for a glass, (Captain)?
It's loaded with nutrients and believed to be effective for recovering from exhaustion.
After such an exciting year, I think it's just the drink for you, (Captain).
I say we partake to kick off the new year. May the coming year bring further health and prosperity.

4 ✔

Pant, pant...
Phew... Oh, if it isn't (Captain).
Happy New Year. Did you come to watch the first sunrise?
I was taking my first sprint of the new year. Did I surprise you?
Running with all of my might along these mountain roads allows me to reflect upon the things I should do in the upcoming year.
I believe I'll take another lap. Would you like to join me, (Captain)?

5 ✔

(Captain), have you already decided on your resolution for this year?
Mine is, of course, "forever pure, forever righteous."
You shouldn't take them as merely words. By deciding on a resolution for yourself, your daily actions from there on will also grow to have meaning.
Righteousness in the sword is born from the conviction of the one who wields it. It is the same concept.
Ah, forgive me—I didn't mean to lecture. I hope I haven't offended you in any way.
I pray this will be another fruitful year for you. Rest assured that you have my full support.

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
# Link Text
1 ✔

Hmm, Valentine's Day...
I can't say I have much interest in today, but to dismiss your feelings would be most disrespectful.
I humbly accept your gift with utmost thanks.

2 ✔

A present for me? Ah, yes, it's Valentine's Day.
You're quite diligent to continue for the second year in a row.
I'm not complaining of course. I'm honored that you thought of me. Thank you.

3 ✔

Oh, are these for me? Thank you.
Heh-heh. Given that you went through the trouble on my behalf, I can't very well not accept.
I'm most delighted. You have my heartfelt gratitude.

4 ✔

Oh, (Captain). Am I to receive a gift from you this year as well?
I gladly accept.
Oh my, they look absolutely delicious.
The opportunity for people to express their everyday gratitude and friendship in the form of gift exchange...
Valentine's Day is truly a wonderful custom, isn't it?
I'll make every effort to repay your display of good will with an act of kindness of my own.

5 ✔

Could it be that this chocolate is for me?
To prepare something every year without fail... You are truly a person of integrity, (Captain).
It certainly shows that you are not only diligent, but kind as well.
This kind of regard for others brings happiness to many people, and in turn, it will surely lead oneself to happiness along the way.
Thanks to your gift, I was able to come to a new realization. You have my deepest gratitude.

White Day Cutscenes
# Link Text
1 ✔

Today's White Day, isn't it?
Allow me to give you this present for all your daily efforts. Would you be so kind as to accept it?

2 ✔

Please accept this White Day present on my behalf.
It's not just to say thanks for the Valentine's Day chocolates you gave me. I appreciate what you do every single day.
It's fine if you want to eat them now, but how about a tea break first?

3 ✔

La-di-da!
Hum, hum, hum!
And now I'll just let these cool off and add a few decorations... There! All done!
Now then, I suppose I should clean up before (Captain) gets back...
Oh! So you're back already, (Captain)? How long have you been standing there?
You gave me a scare. I was actually baking some cookies as a White Day present.
How'd you like to try one while they're still fresh from the oven?
Excellent. I'll get some tea as well. That's just what we need to properly enjoy these cookies.

4 ✔

Please accept this gift. They're cookies that I baked to thank you.
And because it's White Day. Hurry, try them before they get cold.
Haha. That's quite a bewildered face.
I'm sure you're surprised because they are far less sweet than you assumed?
You see, I wanted to bake some that are a little more intricate than last year's batch.
So I made cookies that you can customize with toppings to your liking.
Here are the toppings I've prepared.
Chocolate, jam, cream... Use what you like and as much of it as you want.

5 ✔

I'd like you to have this, (Captain). This is in return for Valentine's Day.
I tried something new this year and prepared several types of desserts using black tea.
Black tea chiffon cake, black tea mousse, black tea donuts... I also baked cookies using black tea leaves.
I came up with several recipes as I wanted you to taste all sorts of delicious things.
Although it ended up being more work than I had anticipated, the smile on your face certainly wipes away all my fatigue.
Please let me know how you like them. If there's something to your taste, I'll make it for you again next year.

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
# Link Text
1 ✔

Trick or treat.
I understand the costumes, but I can't pardon tricks.
How about performing a good deed instead?

2 ✔

It's time to put on a costume and give out sweets to the children. I'm sure the children would be delighted to see you.
Me? Well, I would love to do it for the children but...
As you can see, my size can often scare the little ones.

3 ✔

Trick or treat... That's what the kids say, right? I have plenty of treats ready to go.
Pumpkin pudding, pumpkin pie, pumpkin juice, and pumpkin cookies...
Oh, I've got pumpkin cupcakes too.
Care to try something?
Heh-heh. There's no need to be shy. I made more than enough, so take whatever you want.

4 ✔

Why don't I try scaring people this year, you ask?
Well, with an imposing figure like mine, I'm rather frightening to children as it is.
By the way, what are you doing with all that cloth, (Captain)?
If I look closely, I'll figure it out? Well then, let's have a look-see...
Oh, there's some sort of face drawn on the front.
Ah, so this is a ghost costume?
Did you draw the face, (Captain)? I thought it looked like your style. It's rather adorable somehow.
I see... Wearing this might mitigate the fright factor of my appearance.
What an excellent idea. I'll gladly make use of it.

5 ✔

Happy Halloween, (Captain).
Heh, I look like I'm having fun?
Actually, the children in the crew asked if I wanted to go into town with them just now.
They said that if I go with them, the kids in town won't be so afraid of me either.
Once again, the crew's kindness touched me deeply...
This must be thanks to you setting a good example for them.
I consider it a great honor to be a part of your crew, (Captain).

Happy Holidays Cutscenes
# Link Text
1 ✔

Happy holidays.
I heard Santa Claus pays a visit to good children.
He knows that adhering to virtue, integrity, and honor is truly the most important thing of all.

2 ✔

There will be throngs of people making merry tonight, opening their hearts which would normally be reserved.
But putting that aside, when I see the twinkling eyes of the boys and girls who have been eagerly awaiting this day...
It warms my heart, and I can't help but smile.

3 ✔

So the merriest day of the year has come. I'm delighted to have the opportunity to spend such a wonderful night with you.
The Lumiel Order of Holy Knights has made it a tradition to decorate a tree today too.
And we generally have the captain of our order place the star on top of the tree.
Naturally Captain Charlotta is no exception.
Our tree was pretty tall one year, so I actually lifted up the captain to help her.
Heh-heh... Those were the days.

4 ✔

The market is certainly bustling during the holidays, isn't it? I thought I would go out to buy provisions, but these crowds made that a challenge.
What did I buy? They were selling these exquisite turkeys, so I purchased a couple.
I should be able to feed the entire crew with these. They'll be the main course for tonight's feast.
I also plan to make a smaller portion specifically for Charlotta's little skyfarer's meal.
You want a little skyfarer's meal too? Then I will happily prepare two.

5 ✔

Oh, (Captain)... What are you doing here in the kitchen? If you're looking for a light meal, I can prepare something for you right away.
You smelled something sweet? It must have been the cake I was baking earlier.
I made a cake as a present for Captain Charlotta, you see. I'm just about to go and give it to her.
Would you like to join us, (Captain)?
Heh, no need to hold back. After all, the more the merrier—I'm sure Captain Charlotta would be happy to share.
Actually, I'm hoping to note down what you like as reference for your present next year as well.

Baotorda: A Man of Culture

(Captain) and company are surprised that Baotorda decides to stay with them despite a commendation from His Eminence. Baotorda explains that he needs the crew's strength to follow his own brand of justice.


Baotorda not in crew
Baotorda is a holy knight who was once a member of the Lumiel Order of Holy Knights.
While on the way home from a mission for his order, he saw some imperial soldiers chasing (Captain) and company, who were then still children.
He renounced his position as a Holy Knight of Lumiel on the spot and helped (Captain) and the others escape their predicament.
Baotorda: I would offer up my cherished sword and even my body in the name of justice... I am always ready to do whatever justice requires.
Lyria: But surely you didn't need to leave your order...
Baotorda: Oh, but I did. The Holy Kingdom of Lumiel currently has a reasonably cordial relationship with the Erste Empire.
Baotorda: If I were to start a conflict, it would cause great difficulty for the captain of my order and for His Eminence.
Baotorda: So the only way I could see justice done was as a simple knight, not as a member of the Lumiel Order of Holy Knights...
The self-declared simple knight then told the crew he wanted them to help him live in a way that is forever pure and forever righteous.
(Captain) accepted his request, and they've been traveling together ever since.
During his travels with the crew, the knight has remained as noble and brave as ever, aiding the weak as he pursues his own brand of justice.
Baotorda: I must return to my roots and focus on constant self-improvement.
Baotorda: I have to do this for myself... To be forever pure, forever righteous...
Baotorda: ...
Baotorda stands within Lumiel Cathedral. A tranquil voice rings out, cutting through the still air in the sanctuary.
His Eminence: In praise of the way you've upheld justice, I hereby grant you a new sword.
Baotorda: Thank you, Your Eminence.
Several days earlier, while on the way to Lumiel, (Captain) and company encountered a carriage being attacked by monsters.
Without wasting a single moment, Baotorda leapt into the crowd of monsters and dispatched them in a blink. The carriage was saved.
The person riding the carriage turned out to be the ruler of Lumiel...
And it was decided that Baotorda would receive a reward today in commemoration of his nobility and bravery.
His Eminence: That armor also suits you. It's truly fitting for a man of such infallible integrity.
Baotorda lowers his head with reverence.
Baotorda: I'll do everything in my power to keep the light of justice burning bright in my heart.
Baotorda: Justice always guides me.
Baotorda thrusts his new sword towards the heavens and is met with a thunderous round of applause from the people gathered there.
His Eminence: Show this mighty hero of Lumiel just how proud you are of him!
Lyria: Wow!
Vyrn: Yeah, they really love you, big guy!
The applause for Baotorda doesn't die down for quite some time.
Baotorda: La-di-da. La-di-da-di-da.
Clad in a chef's outfit, Baotorda hums merrily as he stands in the kitchen.
His cheerful look starkly contrasts with his austerity upon receiving the new equipment from Lumiel several days before.
Baotorda: It should be just about done. Now let's see here...
Baotorda: Slurp!
Baotorda: Whoa!
Baotorda: There were a ton of extra lemons and garlic in the storeroom, so I decided to give them a try, but...
Baotorda: The combination of the lemon's refreshing scent and the punch of the garlic makes for quite an incredible flavor!
Baotorda: This...
Baotorda: This would be perfect on bread!
Baotorda: No...
Baotorda: It'd be more accurate to say I want bread just so I have an excuse to eat this sauce itself.
Baotorda: Thus a truly beguiling sauce is born...
Baotorda: Now I have no choice but to bake some bread.
Baotorda: I thought a little pasta would be good enough for this sauce, but how wrong I was.
Lyria: Baotorda, it's Lyria. You mind if I come in?
Baotorda: Of course not. You're always welcome, Lyria. Come on in.
Lyria: Heh-heh... Okay then!
Lyria: ...
Baotorda: Do you have need of my services?
Lyria: I do! I'm actually wondering if you'll let me cook with you.
Baotorda: You want to cook with me?
Lyria: Yes. I mean, you always look like you're having so much fun when you cook.
Lyria: I'm hoping to learn a little something about cooking from you!
Baotorda: I look like I'm having fun, huh? Ha-ha. I suppose I do.
Baotorda: And of course I'll help you learn. Let's get started.
Lyria: Yay! You'll really help me? That's great!
Baotorda: I was about to start baking a loaf of bread. It happens to be a fairly difficult job, but...
Lyria: It'll be fine! I'll do whatever I can to help!
Baotorda: Heh-heh... I'm counting on you. Now let's get started with the preparations.
Baotorda: Okay, start by mixing everything in this bowl until you have a nice clump of dough.
Lyria: Like this?
Baotorda: That's right. Oho, you're a natural. Keep mixing that until its texture is uniform.
Lyria: Okay!
Baotorda: Hum, hum. Hum, hum, hum.
Lyria: Bread, bread! Delicious bread!
Baotorda: Heh-heh. Looks like I have some lyrics to go along with my humming now.
Lyria: Hee-hee! Well, every fun melody needs fun lyrics!
Baotorda: You honor me.
Lyria: Hee-hee. Now sing it with me, Baotorda!
Delicious bread!
Baotorda: Delicious bread!
Lyria: Delicious bread!
Baotorda & Lyria: Delicious bread!
The two of them gleefully sing as they continue to cook.
Baotorda: The next step is to get the dough out of the bowl and start kneading it for real.
Baotorda: The better this is done, the better the bread will rise later, so it's crucial to do a good job.
Lyria: All right!
Lyria: Knead, knead!
Baotorda: Press, press, press!
Baotorda: Smash, smash, smash!
Lyria: Wow... You're so strong! Okay, it's my turn!
Lyria: Squeeze! Squeeze! Squeeze!
Baotorda: Kick! Punch! Chop!
Lyria: Chop! Slap! Punch!
Baotorda: Wham! Wham! Wham!
Lyria: Bang! Bang! Bang!
Vyrn: Hey, what are you guys up to?
Baotorda: Well, if it isn't the rest of the crew. What's going on?
Vyrn: That's what we'd like to know! We heard yelling and other noises in here, so we came to investigate.
Lyria: Oh, hey, Vyrn! And (Captain) too! We were kneading dough! Take a look! I did a great job!
Vyrn: Dough?
Baotorda: Oh, well done, Lyria. Looks like the butter has been worked into that well.
Baotorda: Now we have to set the dough aside for a little while to give the dough time to rise.
Lyria: Okay!
Vyrn and (Captain) are relieved to see that Baotorda is the same as ever.
Vyrn: We were actually worried that you might suddenly decide to stay in Lumiel, Baotorda.
Baotorda: Oh? And why would you think that?
Vyrn: Well, you received new armor and a sword from His Eminence the other day, right?
Vyrn: You used to be a member of the Lumiel Order of Holy Knights, so I doubted you'd be able to refuse after your ruler asked you to stay.
Baotorda: ...
On the day that Baotorda was honored in Lumiel...
His ruler actually asked him if he'd stay in Lumiel to work for the good of the kingdom.
Baotorda: Ah, so that's what you're talking about.
Baotorda: I was of course grateful for His Eminence's words, not to mention unworthy of the honor, but there's something else I need.
Lyria: Something else?
Baotorda: Indeed. I need to continue upholding justice.
Vyrn: You say stuff like that a lot, but wouldn't it be easier to do just that if you stayed in Lumiel?
Baotorda: No, justice isn't just some flag to be held up. And it isn't something to be upheld in the name of praise from someone else either.
Baotorda: The day His Eminence's life was threatened, anyone who happened to be there could have done what I did.
Baotorda: I was just in the right place at the right time.
Baotorda: Upholding justice has nothing to do with one's position, country, or where one happens to be.
Baotorda: But I'm convinced that I'm not yet strong enough to continue upholding justice as it must be.
Baotorda: I know I said this before, but...
Baotorda: In order for me to live in a way that's forever pure and forever righteous, I still need the assistance of this crew.
Vyrn: Hmm... You know, it might sound blunt, but I think you're already plenty strong and skilled.
Vyrn: Don't you think you're being a little too hard on yourself?
Baotorda: Heh-heh. Thank you for that. But I still have a long way to go.
Baotorda: There are people I would never have met if I weren't with you guys.
Baotorda: And there are plenty of people I never could have helped if I weren't with you guys.
Baotorda: I don't want to try to uphold justice on my own when I can do it so much more effectively alongside you guys.
Baotorda: I hope you understand how I feel.
Lyria: Baotorda...
Baotorda smiles at (Captain), who has listened attentively to every word he's said.
That smile is all it takes to dispel the crew's doubts.
Baotorda: I look forward to continuing to fight in the name of justice at your side, (Captain).
Vyrn: Yeah! We're with you on that!
Lyria: That's right! I hope you'll always be with us, Baotorda!
Baotorda: Indeed.
Baotorda: Oh, Lyria, it looks like the dough is rising nicely.
Lyria: Wow! It's gotten so big!
Baotorda: I'd say it's about time to finish our cooking and have lunch with everyone.
Baotorda has chosen to devote his life to upholding justice, which has nothing to do with reaching a certain destination or rising to anyone else's level.
The way he lives will surely continue to act as a light to help the weak find their way.

In the Name of Justice

Baotorda has no sooner finished his tasty crepe than he hears a scream in the vicinity. He rushes back to the crepe shop only to discover monsters attacking the shopkeeper.


After (Captain) and company finish their patrols for the day, they spot a crowded street stall.
Lyria: Oh? That looks like fun! Should we go take a look?
Baotorda: Sure. Let's see what all the fuss is about.
Lyria: Wow! That smells great.
Baotorda: It looks like they sell crepes here. And they all look delicious.
Customer 1: Hook me up with one mixed-berry and one salad crepe.
Customer 2: And I'll take a caramel, nut, and chocolate crepe.
Shopkeeper: Right! Salad and mixed berry for you! And caramel, nut, and chocolate for you! Comin' right up!
The shopkeeper's crepe-making hands never stop moving as he interacts with his customers.
There are actually a number of hot plates around him, and ten crepes are often fried at once.
Baotorda: They seem to know exactly when to pull each crepe off the heat... Most impressive.
There's also a woman next to the shopkeeper, and she's deftly pulling one crepe after another off of its hot plate as it finishes.
Proprietress: All right, next customer please!
Vyrn: She seems to know what she's doing too. Pretty cool.
The movements of the two crepe chefs are efficient and almost in sync, and they even pull off occasional stunts to wow the customers.
Proprietress: Order up.
Customer 1: Thanks. I'll definitely come back!
Shopkeeper: We appreciate it!
The long line of customers is dealt with in a hurry, and (Captain) and company are able to place their orders without waiting long.
Vyrn: Freshly fried crepes! Let's eat up already!
Baotorda: Go right ahead.
This one's for you, (Captain).
Lyria: Yay! This looks phenomenal! Munch, munch...
Lyria: So scrumptious! I'm glad I went with a banana crepe! This is bliss!
Vyrn: So tasty! Crepes are awesome! My apple crepe's just great!
Vyrn: Munch, munch, munch...
Baotorda: You know, there's no need to rush. It's not like anyone's going to take your crepes, so don't forget to chew.
(Captain) and crew take their time to enjoy the savory delight packed into each bite.
Baotorda: We should head back soon. We need to bring the crepes for everyone else back to the ship while they're still hot.
Vyrn: True that! Let's get going!
Annoying Man: Humph... Who cares about a bunch of dumb crepes? Crepes suck!
Baotorda: ...?
Lyria: Huh? What's the matter, Baotorda?
Baotorda: Oh, it's nothing. Let's go.
Vyrn: I wanna try one of the cream ones next time.
Lyria: I'm more interested in the mixed-salad one they seemed so proud of there.
Baotorda: Well, we'll be here for a while, so I'm sure we can pay them another visit.
Vyrn: Yeah! Sounds like a plan!
Proprietress: Aahh!
Vyrn: What in the?
Lyria: That came from the crepe shop! We better get back there, (Captain)!
Baotorda: Let's hurry!
Monster: Grrr...
Shopkeeper: S-stay back, monster!
Proprietress: Be careful!
Shopkeeper: You stay back. I'll make an opening! Run for it when I do!
Proprietress: Don't be crazy! You can't take on a monster!
Shopkeeper: The customers from earlier went to get the guards. All I have to do is hold out until—
Monster: Groar!
Shopkeeper: Oof!
Proprietress: N-nooo! D-dear!
Vyrn: Wha? What's a monster doing in the streets like this?
Lyria: This is awful! The shopkeeper's under attack! We have to help him!
Baotorda: Into the fray, (Captain)!

In the Name of Justice: Scene 2

Baotorda volunteers to help the tired shopkeeper run his crepe shop. Though he is a bundle of nerves come opening time, Baotorda really gets into the groove when Lyria and Vyrn cheer him on.


(Captain) and company defeat the monsters that attacked the crepe shop and bring the injured shopkeeper back to his house.
Proprietress: Thank you... Thank you so very much!
Shopkeeper: Ugh... Oooh...
Lyria: He seems to be in a lot of pain. You think he'll be okay?
Proprietress: I hope so. The doctor said his injuries are minor.
Lyria: I see...
Shopkeeper: Hey... Is that you?
Proprietress: Yes! So you woke up!
Vyrn: Are you okay? It's good to see your eyes open again.
Shopkeeper: Oh... You're the ones from earlier, right?
Shopkeeper: So that's how it was. Thanks for helping me out!
Shopkeeper: Just the thought of what could have happened if you guys didn't show up chills my bones. Thank you for making sure I can keep on cooking.
Vyrn: Don't mention it!
Shopkeeper: Still, I won't be running my shop for a while with my arm like this...
Baotorda: ...
Proprietress: I can't believe you're worried about your shop at a time like this.
Proprietress: Just be thankful that you're still alive. Forget about the shop for a while and focus on recovering.
Shopkeeper: Don't be silly. I can still fry crepes with one arm. Only my right arm got hurt after all. I'm still more than capable of—
Shopkeeper: Ouch!
Lyria: Oh no!
Vyrn: It's just like she said. You need to focus on getting better for now.
Shopkeeper: Ha-ha... Sorry.
Baotorda: Just try to take it easy. Wounds inflicted by monsters have a way of opening back up.
Shopkeeper: But I can't just ignore my shop...
Baotorda: Might I make a suggestion?
Shopkeeper: Yes?
Baotorda: Why don't you let me take care of the shop for a while?
Lyria: Huh?
Vyrn: What are you sayin' all of a sudden?
Baotorda: Helping those in need is in the spirit of upholding justice.
Baotorda: I doubt I have the skills to cook as well as the shopkeeper here, but that's no excuse not to try.
Proprietress: B-but we could never impose on you for something like that!
Baotorda: It's hardly an imposition. I have something to gain from this as well.
Vyrn: Yeah, this knight's motto is to live in a way that's forever pure and forever righteous.
Vyrn: Helping out others is a natural part of life for him.
Shopkeeper: That's really something...
Proprietress: But are you absolutely sure you wouldn't mind helping?
Baotorda: I am. I'm the one who's volunteering to help out after all. Just let me take care of it.
Vyrn: Yeah! And we'll help out too!
Lyria: Baotorda's a fantastic cook! You really have nothing to worry about.
Proprietress: Thanks a lot, everyone.
The next day...
Baotorda: ...
Lyria: Hi there! How'd you like to try some of our crepes? They're delicious!
Vyrn: You bet they are! You owe it to yourself to buy one!
Vyrn: Man, it's weird. I thought it'd be easier to get customers in here.
Lyria: You need to be a little more patient, Vyrn!
Right, (Captain)?
Baotorda learns to make crepes from the shopkeeper, but there's still a problem.
Baotorda: Ugh...
Lyria: Oh dear! You need to smile, Baotorda! Smile!
Baotorda: Indeed. M-my apologies, Lyria.
Baotorda: This is no good at all.
(Maybe I need to loosen up my shoulders a bit.)
Vyrn: You totally need to loosen up!
Lyria: All you need to do is have as much fun cooking as you usually do, and everything will be fine!
Baotorda: Lyria, Vyrn, (Captain)...
Baotorda: ((Captain) and the others are trying so hard. I can't let them down...)
Baotorda: Mmmwwwaaa!
Lyria: Wha?
Vyrn: Whoa! You okay, buddy?
Baotorda: My apologies. I was just yelling at myself for being so foolish.
Baotorda: As you all said, I need to have fun with my cooking as I always do.
Vyrn: Yep! That's the spirit!
Lyria: Yeah! If you have fun cooking and make some yummy crepes, the customers will probably come pouring in!
His tension at last overcome, Baotorda refocuses and resumes making crepes.

In the Name of Justice: Scene 3

Business at the crepe shop is booming thanks to the crew's exceptional teamwork. But sales take a hit when a rowdy customer comes complaining, going so far as to bring a group of thugs that very night.


Baotorda: The trick is to pour the crepe batter on the hot plate and flip it over fast!
Baotorda: Lyria, pass me the strawberries!
Lyria: Here you go!
Baotorda: Hyah! Hyah, hyah, hyah, hyah!
Baotorda maintains a rhythm as he rapidly peppers the crepe with strawberries.
Baotorda: (Captain), you roll this up!
Vyrn: Heh! Looks like we know a thing or two about cooperatin' too!
Regular Joe: Something smells good. You think I can get one of those?
Lyria: Oh, of course! Just a minute!
Vyrn: We've got an order!
Baotorda: Indeed. And I'm more than ready for it. All right, (Captain), you take care of the finishing touches.
Vyrn takes the orders, and Lyria prepares the necessary ingredients.
Baotorda fries the crepes and adds the toppings, and then (Captain) rolls them up.
Their teamwork soon attracts the attention of customers and stops them in their tracks.
Pedestrian: Hey. Can I get two of these too?
Vyrn: You bet! Just a sec!
A throng of people similar to the crowd that normally surrounds the crepe shop begins to gather.
Annoying Man: You punks are gettin' in the way of my business!
Lyria: Eek!
Baotorda: What's the meaning of this?
(I saw this guy earlier...)
Annoying Man: Humph... Who cares about a bunch of dumb crepes? Crepes suck!
Annoying Man: This lame stall is supposed to be closed with the shopkeeper injured.
Annoying Man: Yet I find you losers working here—
Annoying Man: And taking customers who are supposed to be mine!
Baotorda: Lower your voice. You're frightening the children.
Annoying Man: Shut up!
Vyrn: No, you shut up! Stop scaring off our customers!
Annoying Man: I don't wanna hear it! Close your shop right now!
Baotorda: Do you even realize how little sense you're making?
Annoying Man: It's all your fault! Now close your shop! You hear me?
Baotorda: Wait!
Vyrn: What was his problem?
Baotorda: ...
The noisy man interrupts the flow of customers, and crepe sales end up lower than expected that day.
Proprietress: Thanks for all your help!
Baotorda: I hoped to do more, but I guess I didn't have what it took. I apologize.
Shopkeeper: Don't be ridiculous! You did more than enough. You really were a huge help!
Baotorda: I apologize for asking, but do you know the man who caused that ruckus?
The shopkeeper and proprietress seem reluctant to speak, but they respond to Baotorda's question.
Shopkeeper: He complained before that he found something nasty in one of our crepes.
Proprietress: He's also complained that we're too noisy.
Proprietress: We've actually been dealing with complaints from him for a while, and we're not quite sure what to do about it.
Baotorda: I see.
Proprietress: Please forgive us for burdening you with our problems.
Lyria: It's really okay!
Vyrn: Still, was he telling the truth about finding something in one of your crepes? Your shop looked spotless to me.
Lyria: I wonder about the noise complaint too. I mean, the customers get excited and all, but that seems normal for the city.
Baotorda: Hmm...
???: ...
???: ...
???: ...
Baotorda: I wonder what that commotion is out there. Let's go take a quick look. Come on, (Captain).
Baotorda: Given that there was a monster attack this afternoon, you two better stay inside for now.
Shopkeeper: O-okay... We will.
Thug 2: All right, so where's the big lout you mentioned?
Baotorda: Do you guys have any idea what time it is?
Annoying Man: That's him right there! Get him!
Baotorda: So it's you...
Thug 1: Anything for some rupies! Here we come, Mr. Hero!
Baotorda: It seems we have no choice. Ready your weapon, (Captain)!

In the Name of Justice: Scene 4

The defeated man reveals that he runs his own crepe shop, and things have been looking bad for him due to competition. Baotorda scolds his unethical actions, encouraging him to look at things from another angle. This entire incident leaves Baotorda with the realization that upholding justice is not always an easy, black-and-white matter.


Annoying Man: Oof...
With the thugs apprehended, the crew corners the man.
Baotorda: The monster from this afternoon was your doing, wasn't it?
Annoying Man: What if it was?
Baotorda: What you did was evil.
Baotorda: Why would you do such a thing?
Annoying Man: Well, I opened up my shop here first.
Annoying Man: My wife and I did well enough to eat, and we even had some regular customers.
Annoying Man: But then they opened up their crepe shop a few years back, and customers stopped showing up at our shop.
Annoying Man: When I went to see who'd stolen all my business, I found them and their customers sittin' there havin' a merry old time!
Annoying Man: Damn it! The food I make tastes just fine! They've ruined everything!
Baotorda: You should be ashamed of yourself for threatening the livelihood of people who have done nothing wrong for your own personal gain.
Annoying Man: Stop actin' like you know somethin' about somethin'! You don't know what it's like to have no clue where your next meal's comin' from!
Annoying Man: I couldn't even put food in my wife's belly, and she ended up leavin' me!
Annoying Man: But all I can do is cook! There's no other way for me to make a living!
Annoying Man: Cooking's all I have!
Baotorda: It does indeed sound like you've had a rough time of it. But trying to flee from reality is only compounding your problems.
Annoying Man: Urgh...
Baotorda: There could never be a good reason to hurt others.
Annoying Man: Shut... up!
Baotorda: If you really have time to waste precious moments of your life standing around blaming your environment and everyone else for your problems...
Baotorda: You'd be better off doing whatever you can right here and now to improve your situation.
Baotorda: Doing evil acts will only destroy you. But sincere efforts will never betray you.
Baotorda: When you truly pursue something, there are no escape routes or shortcuts. You just keep pursuing it with everything you have.
Baotorda: So stop trying to run away. There's no point in blaming others for your problems. It's your life we're talking about after all.
Annoying Man: I've never looked at it quite like that...
Baotorda: Heed my advice and I'm sure you'll soon rediscover yourself and find your own kind of justice.
Lyria: Baotorda! The guards are here!
The guards run up and take away the thugs and annoying man.
Some time passes...
Lyria: Oh! Looks like the shopkeeper's crepe shop is back to normal!
Vyrn: Yep, and the crowd's as big as ever!
Lyria: Hee-hee! Everyone seems to be having so much fun!
Baotorda: ...
Baotorda: The couple running that place is a reminder that it's hard to avoid conflict no matter how pure your heart is.
Vyrn: You must be talking about what happened the other day.
Baotorda: But there really is nothing more precious than for people to be able to smile like that.
Annoying Man: I'd like you to tell them something for me. Tell 'em I never actually found anything nasty in their food.
Annoying Man: And since I'm confessin' and all, tell 'em I was really just lashin' out 'cause their crepes are damn tasty.
Baotorda: I have a feeling it won't be long before he atones for what he's done and figures out how to uphold justice.
Baotorda is once again reminded of just how hard it is to uphold justice—and how vital it is to do so.
