Happy Birthday Cutscenes
# Link Text
1

Cidala Sisters: Happy birthday, (Captain)!
Bai: Here's your present.
Huang: We both picked it out. Hope you like it!
Bai: Nope. I can already tell one isn't enough to satisfy (Captain).
Huang: Huh? You think so?
Bai: Yeah. Has to be two.
Huang: Two what?
Bai: Two...
Huang: Two what! Gifts?
Bai: I can't say anymore. (Captain)'s too greedy.
Huang: What was that about?
I don't know what's going on inside her head, but just ignore her, okay! Be happy with what you got!

2

Cidala Sisters: Happy birthday, (Captain)!
Huang: Thanks for everything!
Bai: Looking forward to spending more time together!
Huang: Since today's your birthday...
Bai: We'll keep you company all day!
Huang: With us here, we can keep your day's fortune in check with our feng shui!
Bai: We'll make sure your special day's the best day ever!
Huang: So you're stuck with the both of us today!
Bai: Aren't you lucky!

3

Cidala Sisters: Happy birthday!
Huang: We thought of the perfect way for you to spend your birthday!
Bai: If you do what we say, feng shui-wise it'll definitely be the best birthday ever!
Huang: First, you have to go into town and eat at a restaurant where there's a river to the right! Noodles would be even better!
Bai: Then, have some tea with your afternoon snack—a flower tea is best.
Huang: And if you're going for a walk, pick an open area that faces the northeast!
Bai: For dinner, you should have a meat dish. With a ton of seasonal vegetables too.
Huang: With us by your side the whole day, you'll be sure to have perfect luck!
Bai: We have plans for bedtime as well, but... Well...
Huang: W-we can't! It might be (Captain)'s birthday, but we can't go that far!

4

Huang: Happy!
Bai: Birthday!
Huang: (Captain)!
Bai: We're glad we get to spend your special day with you again this year.
Your crew of skyfarers has been a great help to us, so I hope that our presence has improved your fortune by at least a tiny bit.
Huang: One thing's for sure—I'm sure your travels would be a lot more bumpy if we weren't around. Bwahaha!
Bai: But today's your birthday, so we've prepared something really special.
Huang: We're going to stick by your side the whole day to make sure you have the best luck! Like we did last time!
Bai: And I've come up with the ultimate feng shui plan that just might make you a gazillionaire.
Huang: When you make the big money, you'll share it with us, right, (Captain)? I've already got my eye on a few outfits!
Bai: Huang... How greedy can you get?

Happy New Year Cutscenes

Huang: (Captain)!
Cidala Sisters: Happy New Year!
Happy New Year.
Bai: Let us divine your fortune.
Huang: Your luck plays a huge part on the whole crew! Aren't you on the edge of your seat?
Without waiting for an answer, they consult the feng shui compass.
Cidala Sisters: Twin Tiger Feng Shui!
Huang: What the...
Bai: Two colors, huh... It's too bad it had to come to this...
Cidala Sisters: (Captain)'s lucky color is white!
Huang: I was born from a yellow peach. That practically makes me yellow too. Don't you think it's such a bright and cheerful color?
Bai: Well, I came from a white peach. White is symbolic of purity and integrity.
Cidala Sisters: Pick one, (Captain)! Yellow or white!

2

Huang: Happy New Year, (Captain)!
Bai: Looking forward to spending another year together.
Huang: Well, since it's a new start, let's do our fortune-telling for this upcoming year!
Bai: You know what to do, don't you, (Captain)? Come on, say it with us.
Cidala Sisters: Twin Tiger Feng Shui!
Bai: Oh, I see your lucky item for the year...
Huang: Wha, a bow? I mean, bows do signify good encounters, but...
Bai: We usually tie our clothes...
Huang: With a knot...
Bai: Huang, we'd better be careful. (Captain) might end up influencing us this year even more than we think.
Huang: Oh, right...
We can't change our clothes that fast, (Captain)! Besides, knots are hard to undo!
Bai: They are...
You're probably planning to tie them into bows instead, aren't you, (Captain)?
Huang: Are you really? I don't know if I could get used to that...
Laolao: I don't see what the fuss is, gawr. It's just a bow... Nothing to get flustered about, gawr.

3

Huang: (Captain)
Bai: Happy...
Cidala Sisters: New Year!
Bai: A new fortune for the new year! Let's see what you have this year, (Captain).
Cidala Sisters: Twin Tiger Feng Shui!
Huang: Hmm! There's a certain lucky place for (Captain) this year!
Bai: Visiting this place will boost your luck and send a lot of good things your way. And the lucky place is...
Cidala Sisters: The deck!
Huang: If you stand on deck, good things will happen to you!
Well, I'm always with you anyway so it's not like you need anything more than that. Nyahaha!
Bai: If you want more luck, the kitchen might do the trick for you.
But you've already got a ton of luck, so I don't think you need any more.
Huang: When's (Captain) gonna come...
Bai: I'm getting sleepy...

4

Huang: Happy...
Bai: New...
Cidala Sisters: Year!
Huang: We went ahead and read your fortune for the year ahead, (Captain)! And guess what we saw?
Bai: Lucky dishes—foods that'll bring you good luck if you eat it.
Huang: I saw a bowl of red bean soup. The really sweet kind.
Bai: And I saw a flavorful miso hotpot packed with meat and vegetables.
Huang: We took what we saw and put them together to make something extra lucky...
Bai: But, uh... It's a little, um...
Choose: Did you need to combine them?
Bai: Well...
Huang: I guess not...
Bai: But I'm sure the effects are extra powerful. You can expect a surge in fortune, booming business, and an increase in vitality if you eat it.
Huang: With this super lucky food in your tummy, you'll be unstoppable for the entire year!
Cidala Sisters: Eat up!

Valentine's Day Cutscenes

1

The sun will be setting soon, and Huang and Bai have each asked (Captain) to meet them in private.

  • Choose: Go see Huang.
    Huang: (Captain)!
    ((Captain) accepted my invite? I knew it! (Captain)'s crush is real!)
    (Wh-what do I do now? Whatever. Just wing it, I guess.)
    Thanks for coming, (Captain)! So, you know, it's Valentine's Day... And I got you stuff... You know, chocolate...
    (Nyaaah! Why can't I stop stammering like an idiot!)
    (This isn't going to work... I'm spoiling the mood... It's like... It's like...)
    Hey, I have an idea! Let's go check in on Bai!
    She's probably down in the dumps right now. I guess I really do feel better when I'm with her.
    (I bet she misses me.)
    Bai: Oh well... (Captain) went to see Huang... I guess that's that.
    ((Captain), you tease. Like dangling string in front of a cat...)
    Huang: Sigh... Never mind, (Captain). She's fine.
  • Choose: Go see Bai.
    Bai: Whoa! (Captain)!
    ((Captain) came to see me... It must have been too hard to turn down my request.)
    (Right now (Captain)'s like a beast on the prowl for chocolate. I should be careful.)
    Here, this chocolate is just for you, (Captain). Today being Valentine's Day and all...
    (My heart is pounding. What will (Captain) do with that chocolate?)
    (Ugh, this is too embarrassing. I need a change of scenery.)
    Can we go check on Huang? I'm sure she's lonely, and I don't want to see her sad.
    You know, I realize I'd rather do things together with her.
    (Huang, it pains me to know you're wallowing in sadness.)
    Huang: Nooo! (Captain) picked Bai over me?
    (Wait, of course (Captain) did. Otherwise everyone would find out I'm the captain's secret crush!)
    Bai: Sigh... I was wrong, (Captain). I should've known she'd be perfectly fine.

(Captain) had been unknowingly involved in a bout of sibling rivalry.
Of course the captain is oblivious to all of this.

2

Huang: Ready, and...
Cidala Sisters: Happy Valentine's Day!
Huang: It's Valentine's Day, so here's some chocolate from me, (Captain)!
Bai: I've got some chocolate for you too, as thanks for all the things you've done for me, (Captain)!
Cidala Sisters: Which are you going to have first?

  • Choose: I'll start with Huang's.
    I'll start with Huang's.
    Huang: Huh? You're going to go with mine? I-if that's what you want!
    H-how is it? Good?
    (I didn't think (Captain) would actually pick mine first...)
    (It's so obvious that (Captain) likes me... Now even Bai knows!)
    Bai: ...!
    (Oh... (Captain)'s eating Huang's chocolate while watching for my reaction... The captain's enjoying this.)
    (Teasing me like this... That's pretty bold of (Captain)...)
    Huang: Y-you're done eating already? Okay, then I guess you can try Bai's now!
    Come on, quick! Before Bai and everyone else realizes what's going on!
  • Choose: I'll start with Bai's.
    I'll start with Bai's.
    Bai: Huh? You want my chocolate first? O-okay then...
    H-how is it? Good?
    ((Captain)'s a greedy one... I don't like how the captain's making me all flustered...)
    Huang: ...!
    ((Captain)'s playing mind games with me!)
    (I know it! Pushing and pulling, trying to get my attention... It's all part of the strategy. That's why the captain chose Bai's chocolate!)
    Bai: Y-you're done eating already? Okay, then you should try Huang's too.
    Devouring it that fast's gotten me all embarrassed... What a Valentine's Day to remember...
3

Cidala Sisters: Happy Valentine's!
Huang: We've got chocolate for you! We made them ourselves, of course!
Which one are you gonna have first?
(Captain) opens the box to find both dark chocolate and white chocolate inside.

  • Choose: Dark chocolate.
    Bai: (That's mine...)
    (How did (Captain) know that the dark chocolate was mine?)
    (Could it be... from the smell? It must be... (Captain) must have remembered my scent...)
    (I didn't realize (Captain) was that sensitive about scents. Now I'm worried...)
    (Oh no... I wonder if the captain likes how I smell!)
    (Captain) finishes eating the dark chocolate.
    Bai: I-I hope you liked it...
  • Choose: White chocolate.
    Huang: (That's mine...)
    (How did (Captain) know that the white chocolate was mine?)
    (Could it be... fate? Was (Captain) fated to pick my chocolate?)
    (I already know that the captain likes me, but I didn't think our fate would be this strong!)
    ((Captain) and I are connected by our fates after all!)
    (Captain) finishes eating the white chocolate.
    Huang: I-I hope you liked it...
4

Cidala Sisters: Happy Valentine's Day!
Huang: Look, (Captain)! I got you chocolate-covered oranges! Handmade, of course!
Bai: And I made you chocolate-covered almonds with tender love and care. Which one would you like to eat first?

  • Choose: Chocolate-covered oranges
    Huang: (Th-the captain picked my chocolate! The sour from the oranges and sweet from the chocolate make the perfect confection!)
    (Could this be a sign? Could (Captain) want our love to be as sweet and sour as my chocolates?)
  • Choose: Chocolate-covered almonds
    Bai: (Th-the captain picked my chocolate! The combination of aromatic almonds paired with silky milk chocolate can't be beat...)
    (Not to mention it's a food that's sure to give any who eat it a boost of vim and vigor... One might say it's a food that embodies desire...)
  • Choose: Both at the same time
    Huang: Y-you want to eat both at once? But... Are you sure you can fit them in your mouth?
    Bai: You're awfully greedy, (Captain). We'll have to get you under control...

Huang: Whoa, it's (Captain)! H-hey! Wh-what's up?
Bai: Huh? We have a job to exterminate monsters? Oh... Sure. Let's go...
Huang: Hm? Wh-what is it this time, (Captain)? A-are you sure you aren't forgetting something?
Bai: Huh? You want us to watch our step? Got it, thanks.
Huang: Wh-what now, (Captain)! C-could it be you're about to give us something!
Bai: Huh? The monster's nest is straight ahead? Right... Yeah...
Huang: (What's going on? This doesn't make any sense.)
Bai: (I thought (Captain) was playing coy, but maybe the captain's not planning anything after all?)
Cidala Sisters: Ah, (Captain)!
Huang: This box is for me and Bai? Gee, what could it be, I wonder?
Bai: A return gift for Valentine's Day, you say? O-oh yeah... It's White Day, isn't it...
Cidala Sisters: How could we forget...

2

Huang: (Captain), it's White Day today!
You've got something for us... right? I saw you give a gift to someone else earlier!
Bai: Don't tell me you've got nothing... That's too mean. After how you made me feel for an entire month...
Huang: Well... I guess that's how White Day works...
(Captain) breaks into a grin before holding out a huge box to Huang and Bai.
Huang: ...!
Is this... a present in return for Valentine's?
Bai: Whoa... It's so big. Bigger than anything you gave to the other people... Like two times bigger.
Huang: (I-it's so obvious.... This is nothing but proof that the captain likes me a lot more than everyone else...)
Bai: (This is overkill for something in return... Could it be that the captain wants something more from me?)
Laolao: It's bigger because there's two of you, gawr...

3

(Captain) has prepared gifts for the Cidala sisters in return for Valentine's.

  • Choose: Give it to Huang first.
    Huang: A gift in return for Valentine's?
    Th-thanks! I didn't think you'd give it to me first!
    Meanwhile, someone is watching from the shadows.
    Bai: ((Captain)'s gonna give Huang her gift and move on.)
    (The captain's planning to spend more time with me and just get Huang over with first.)
    (I know I'm cute, but is it really okay to treat us sisters so differently? You can be so cruel sometimes, (Captain)...)
  • Choose: Give it to Bai first.
    Bai: A gift in return for Valentine's?
    O-oh, thanks... I didn't think you'd give it to me first, and so blatantly...
    Meanwhile, someone is watching from the shadows.
    Huang: (Whatever the captain's giving to Bai, it's probably just something random.)
    (On the other hand, I'm gonna get something extra special, and that's why (Captain)'s getting Bai over with first.)
    (I wonder what kind of present it is. I feel sorry for Bai, so I guess I'll share some with her later too!)

Cidala Sisters: Gawr!
Bai: Nyahaha... Were you scared?
Huang: Nyahaha! You were totally scared!
We demand candy or meat! Otherwise face our pranks!
Bai: Too bad (Captain) likes to be toyed with.
Huang: Really? What a weirdo. I can't think of a good prank to pull though.
Bai: I can.
Whisper, whisper...
Huang: What! That's not a prank! That's just plain wrong!
Bai: Fine. I'll do it myself.
Huang: No way, uh-uh! Over my dead body!

2

Cidala Sisters: Rawr!
Huang: Nyahaha! Were you surprised, (Captain)?
Bai: It's Halloween today, so here goes...
Cidala Sisters: Trick or treat!
Huang: Give us treats or we'll have to play a prank on you! Or you can give us some meat instead of treats!
Bai: ((Captain)'s definitely going to pick "treat"... The captain wants to be pranked by us—I just know it...)
(Just what kind of prank is (Captain) craving for? I should set some boundaries...)
The captain takes out some treats and hands them to Huang and Bai.
Huang: Oooh, treats! Thank you!
Nyahaha! They're so yummy!
Bai: Huh? Wait... That means we don't get to prank (Captain). No way... Nom, nom...
Huang: Hm? What's wrong, Bai? You don't like the treats?
Bai: Nom, nom... Yum... Nom, nom...
Nom, nom... But then... Nom, nom...
Nom, nom... That's weird... Nom, nom...
Huang: Um, you shouldn't talk with your mouth full...

Cidala Sisters: Trick or treat!
Bai: Do you want to play a trick on us, or...
Huang: Give me a treat!
Hm? Wait, that sounded weird. Play a trick... on us?
Bai: It's not weird. (Captain)'s choosing between a trick or a treat, right?
Huang: Yeah, but we're the ones who need to play a trick if we don't get any treats!
Bai: Well, either way, I know (Captain) is dying to play a trick on me.
Huang: How do you know that!

Happy Holidays Cutscenes

Huang: The holidays are here...
Bai: Yep. Holiday time.
Huang: (Many people spend the holidays with their families, but this is also a prime time for couples...)
(A special day for sweethearts to exchange gifts and chow on meat dishes...)
Bai: (Staring into each other's eyes under the pretty lights... How romantic.)
(What a way to warm up a wintery night.)
Suddenly (Captain) walks over and says a cheerful hello.
Nyaaah! (Captain)! Don't sneak up on me like that.
Huang: You're going for a walk in town?
Bai: And you came to invite us?
Cidala Sisters: O-oh...
Huang: It's not like we have anything better to do, right?
Bai: N-nope...
Cidala Sisters: (I'm so nervous...)

2

Bai: H-happy holidays, (Captain)...
Huang: So... what are your plans for today again? You know, just checking...
Bai: You're gonna go shopping, come back... and decorate for the party tonight?
Huang: Then you're going to finish preparing for the feast, go into town again to walk around... and come back for the celebration?
Cidala Sisters: I see...
Bai: (But (Captain)'s so popular... The captain can't be planning to go out alone. I mean, everyone wants to spend the winter holiday with someone else.)
(I can already tell... I'm sure (Captain) is thinking of going out for some "shopping" and then running away with me...)
(What a holy night...)
Huang: ((Captain) definitely likes me...)
(The captain will probably come talk to me while we're decorating the ship, and then we'll go to a quiet place...)
(Just the two of us... And then (Captain) might try to c-c-confess...)
Cidala Sisters: (Oh my...)

3

Huang: Unlucky us! I can't believe we have to go get some last-minute things when we've got a party to attend.
Oh well, I guess walking around the streets during the winter celebration isn't that bad either. Right, (Captain)?
Bai: You're so shallow, Huang. This shopping trip isn't a last-minute thing at all... Everything was obviously planned.
(Captain) wanted to take us out to town this whole time.
Huang: Why would (Captain) want to do that? Besides, we got picked by drawing straws...
Bai: Don't you get it? That's where it was set up. It must've been some sort of trick... It's too late for us now.
This is a special winter night... Who knows what might happen?
(Captain)'s a dangerous one. We might never be able to return to the ship again...
Huang: Wh-what!
Hey. What were you saying about not being able to come back?
Bai: Th-there's probably something else the captain planned! Maybe (Captain) has a crazy present for us hidden onboard and plans to—
Huang: Yeah right!

Fate Episodes

Guardian of the East-Northeast

The crew visits the Tiger Temple to meet this year's year spirit, the twin sisters Huang and Bai Cidala. Their foster parent, a sacred tiger named Laolao, fears his parental methods are inadequate and secretly asks the crew to take the girls with them to see the world. However, the twins catch wind of his plan, and they drag him along too so that they can stay together on their travels.



This year, all signs point to the Tiger Temple located to the East-Northeast.
A new year calls for a new prayer to ensure a safe journey. Of course that's easier said than done when everyone's clamoring for a New Year's blessing.
Jostling through the temple crowds will be an ordeal, to say the least.
Vyrn: Sigh... Now I know what a boxed lunch feels like... It's gonna take us a gajillion years just to meet Cidala.
Lyria: I know what you mean... And have you noticed how everyone has a piece of paper?
Vyrn: Yeah, I saw that too. Are they, like, tickets or something?
They discreetly peek at the slips of paper held by a few strangers next to them. A unique mixture of shapes, words, and arrows is scrawled on each slip.
Vyrn: Boy, nothing's addin' up today. First our job request gets canceled, and now these paper thingies are makin' my head spin.
Prior to coming to the Tiger Temple, the crew had gone island hopping to exterminate monsters as part of a job request.
Client: I'm sorry I couldn't contact you earlier, but it turns out the monsters had already been exterminated before you arrived.
Vyrn: Not again... Feels like every time we hit up a new island in these parts, we're always too late.
Client: I see. So this has been happening on other islands as well?
Vyrn: Yeah. We were on a different island just the other day, and the monsters seemed to have disappeared into thin air. What a waste of time.
Lyria: Well, look on the bright side. At least people are safe now.
Vyrn: Nah, I know it's a good thing. I just wanna know what exactly's goin' on.
Client: Considering whose turn it is to be the year spirit, Cidala must already be on the hunt.
Vyrn: Who's that?
Client: The Divine Tiger of the Twelve Divine Generals.
The Twelve Divine Generals, each of whom belong to a certain temple, are appointed the role of year spirit for their respective year.
Since the time of the War, they have monitored the boundary between the Sky Realm and Astral Realm.
Vyrn: What was the Divine General doin' out here?
Client: They used their incredible strength to smash monsters with a big ol' hammer.
Client: After clearing out the monsters, they... Well, it's hard to explain. Better to see it for yourselves. Follow me.
The man brings the crew to a street corner where a peculiar sash is affixed to the ground.
Client: After taking down an especially large monster, Cidala slapped on one of these.
Lyria: Hm... What is it?
Client: No one's really sure, to be honest, but something about this strip keeps monsters away.
Vyrn: What the heck? So it's like a magic seal or something?
Client: It certainly acts like a seal, doesn't it? They called it something I've never heard before.
Client: Hm, what was it again? Fang? Fonk? Started with an F...
Client: It's not coming to me right now, but you can't argue with the results. We haven't seen a single monster ever since.
Vyrn: Do you feel anything special comin' from this thing, Lyria?
Lyria: No, not really.
Vyrn: All right. Guess we'll have to leave it at that, but I do know one thing: a Divine General took our jobs.
(Captain) suggests paying a visit to the Tiger Temple.
Vyrn: Good idea. After sayin' a prayer for our journey, we can give the Divine Tiger a piece of our minds.
Lyria: Ahaha... That doesn't sound like a very nice thing to do...
Vyrn: Fine, that might be a bit much. I just wanna see what kinda person they are, and what this seal is all about.
Hoping to satisfy their curiosity, the crew set off for the Tiger Temple to ring in the new year.
Lyria: Yay, looks like we're next.
Vyrn: Whew... Took long enough...
After waiting in line for seemingly ages, the crew is finally about to meet Cidala in person.
???: Hey! You made it!
???: Welcome.
Vyrn: Huh?
Lyria: I'm sorry... Wasn't this the line to meet Cidala?
???: Yep! You did it!
???: Thank you for waiting.
A pair of twins stare at the crew expectantly. Each one speaks as if they are Cidala.
Vyrn: Psst. Which one's Cidala?
Lyria: I-I don't know...
  1. Greet the girl on the left.
  2. Greet the girl on the right.

Choose: Greet the girl on the left.
???: What's up?
Vyrn: Oh, so she's Cidala.
???: Wrrrong. I'm Cidala.
Lyria: Huh?

Choose: Greet the girl on the right.
???: Yes?
Lyria: Oh, so you're Cidala.
???: Grrr! I'm Cidala!
Vyrn: What!
Continue 1
???: Huang, I don't think these people know who we are.
Huang: I think you're right, Bai. Okay, newcomers, open up your ears!
The two girls who call themselves Huang and Bai stand up straight and tall, flashing their pearly whites.
Huang and Bai: Divine Tiger I'm and Cidala of the Twelve Guardian of Divine the Generals East-Northeast—
Huang and Bai: ...
Lyria: Erm...
Vyrn: What'd you say?
Huang: We botched our entrance again...
Bai: Maybe we should count to three first? At least that way we'll be on the same page.
Huang: What kind of lame-o twins have to do a count off?
Bai: To make a long story short, we're both Cidala. It's nice to meet you.
Vyrn: Double Divine Generals? I didn't know that was a thing...
Huang: Sigh... Fine, forget the entrance. Okay, people, show us your layouts.
Lyria: What's a layout?
Bai: Oh, you didn't draw anything before coming to see us? Here, take a sheet of paper.
Huang: It's all about feng shui. Don't tell me you don't know what that is either?
Bai: By layout we mean a home's interior design. Qi flow is influenced by how objects are placed, or even how buildings themselves are arranged.
Huang: People flock to the Tiger Temple to improve their feng shui.
Vyrn: Feng shui? Qi flow? Huh... Learn somethin' new every day, I guess.
Lyria: I wonder if they're talking about that seal the client showed us earlier...
The crew draw a picture of their home on the piece of paper and hand it over to the twins.
Bai: This layout is so strange. It's large, yet long and narrow. What room is a deck? Is that where you go to do your business?
Huang: Come on. It's obviously an airship.
Bai: Oh? You all live on an airship?
Vyrn: We're a crew of skyfarers. Travelin' the skies with no fixed address—makes sense to call a ship home, doesn't it?
Cidala Sisters: A crew...
Vyrn: Oh, that reminds me. We had a job to take out monsters, but I think you two beat us to the punch.
Vyrn: We found your yellow and black calling card stuck to the ground.
Bai: Now that you mention it, I think I did hear that a crew had been hired to exterminate monsters.
Huang: But we were like, "whatever," and crushed those monsters without thinking... Oooh, I get it. You came to yell at us, huh?
Vyrn: Nah, we wouldn't do that. The islanders are safe thanks to you two. We were just curious about how you did it.
Bai: Hmm... The calling card you mentioned is called tiger tape.
Bai: By sticking it on a point of negative qi, it can protect that area from misfortune.
Huang: Keeps little monsties away, so merchants can make bank, and everyone stays safe and happy!
Lyria: It's amazing how well it works.
Huang: For the beefier troublemakers that hassled the village, we made them go squish with our Supreme Tiger Warhammer.
Each girl proudly displays their half of the weapon.
Bai: Some of those monsters were pretty fierce. If you were hired for the job, does that mean you're strong?
???: Very strong, gawr!
Lyria: Eep!
???: Greetings, mighty skyfarers. Make yourselves at home, gawr.
Vyrn: Whoa! How'd a kitty get in here!
Laolao: Who are you calling a kitty, gawr! This lizard's got some nerve talking down to me! The name's Laolao! I'm a sacred tiger, and don't you forget it, gawr!
Vyrn: I ain't no lizard!
Lyria: Oh dear... Can you tell us about yourself, Laolao?
Laolao: I foster these two little ladies. Been protecting the Tiger Temple since the time of the first keeper.
Vyrn: Whistle... Raised by a tiger, eh?
Laolao: Seems like you're really in the dark about how things work at the Tiger Temple, gawr. Divine Tigers don't have biological parents. They're born from peaches, gawr.
Vyrn: Did you say peach?
Laolao: It's a very old story.
Laolao: There once grew a peach tree on the edge of the village, but alas it bore no fruit. That is until the first keeper infused it with their power, and then—poof—it sprouted a peach, gawr.
Laolao: Imagine the first keeper's surprise when they split open the peach and found a baby curled up inside like a ball. That baby became the second keeper, gawr.
Laolao: And so, after a period of time, a new peach would appear, giving us the third, fourth, fifth—well, you get the idea. Which brings us to today.
Laolao: Yours truly here rears all the cubs, gawr.
Vyrn: Poppin' out of a peach is, like, the wackiest thing I've ever heard... You sure the Divine Tiger isn't a primal beast?
Laolao: They're 100 percent mortal, I can tell you that. In fact, the previous keeper has been happily married for a long time and recently had their third child, gawr.
Laolao: They live an ordinary life just like anyone else. Same goes for the previous-previous keeper and the previous-previous-previous keeper.
Laolao: Oh, but if you sniff them real good, you'll catch a whiff of peach, gawr. Guess that's one quirk that sets them apart from regular people.
Huang: Who goes and tells strangers what their daughters smell like?
Bai: People will assume we're a streak of degenerates.
Huang: Except the only degenerate is you.
Bai: No, I'm not. There's beauty in the books I read. Besides, I don't want to hear any lip coming from an exhibitionist.
Huang: Am not! And the only books you read would make even a gangster blush!
Huang's remark causes Bai to pull out a small paperback. She opens the book and shoves it in Huang's face.
Huang: What're you doing! Stop it! Keep that stuff away from me!
Bai: Give it a chance, Huang. Once you read it, you'll see why it's art.
Bai smooshes the open pages against Huang's cheek, who struggles to look away.
Vyrn: What is happening...
Laolao: Grr, cut that out, you gawrls! I'm mortified!
Laolao: Please forgive them. In any case, the take away here is that the Divine Tiger isn't born by normal means, gawr.
Lyria: Gosh... Coming out of a peach isn't something you see every day...
Laolao: The spirit of the first keeper is split between these two, gawr. If you want to argue semantics, you could say the first keeper is their biological parent.
Laolao: Every keeper inherits their physical traits and feng shui talents from the first, gawr.
Laolao: The ordinal direction pointing directly to the northeast is considered an easy pathway for negative qi to flow through, which is why the Divine Tiger developed feng shui, gawr.
Vyrn: What's feng shui anyway? Not just that, but what's negative qi? Ordinal direction? Huh?
Laolao: Feng shui is like a form of divination. It's also the meticulous study of your environs, gawr.
Laolao: The placement of furniture and buildings influences the flow of qi, and... Well, I'll explain more in detail later tonight, gawr.
Steward: Master Laolao, the preparations are underway.
Laolao: Well done, steward!
The elderly gentleman makes a report to Laolao and shuffles away.
Laolao: As for you, good skyfarers, feel free to spend the night with us. Come experience our divine hospitality, gawr!
Lyria: R-really? Why us?
Laolao: That's not important, gawr! Consider it an apology party for swiping your work if you must!
Vyrn: Oh, that? We're not exactly mad or anything, but okay. We'll take it.
Bai: A party? Is meat on the menu?
Huang: Did somebody say meat?
Laolao: Yes, there will be meat, so put your eyes back in your sockets. And wipe the drool from your mouths, gawr.
(Captain) and company have been more or less obligated to partake in a banquet at the Tiger Temple.
Steward: Are we enjoying ourselves tonight?
Lyria: Yes! I've tried every one of the meat dishes, and they all taste amazing!
Steward: I'm glad you liked them. The sisters are quite the meat lovers, so there's plenty more left.
Huang: Chomp, chomp...
Bai: Nom, nom, nom...
The Cidala Sisters look up midway through their feast and turn toward the crew. With their bulging cheeks, they resemble hoarding chipmunks rather than tigers.
Vyrn: Whoa, that's scary.
Huang: Gulp... Did you guys have enough to eat?
Vyrn: Y-yep. We really went ham.
Bai: Try this drumstick. It's delicious.
Lyria: Mm, that looks so yummy! What kind of flavor is it?
Bai: Um... Well, it smells really aromatic... The sauce and spices smell like, um... like harmony...
Lyria: I-I see...
Huang: Bai tries to talk all fancy, but she's bad at it!
Bai: Sigh...
Steward: By the way, girls, I put out a new dish over on the far end of the table.
Bai: Gasp... I need it.
Huang: Dibs on the fat chunk!
Watching the girls dash off, the steward makes sure they're out of earshot before lowering his voice.
Steward: Incidentally, what's the scope of your crew?
Vyrn: Our scope?
Steward: I assume you have your own airship, but how large is it? How many people do you travel with?
(Captain) gives a full rundown of the crew, to which the steward lets out an astonished exhale.
Steward: Well, isn't that something! And how has your journey played out thus far?
Steward: I only ask out of curiosity and not to pry...
The captain gives a brief summary of the adventures undertaken up to this moment.
Steward: Oh my... My, my, my! I couldn't have imagined more astounding feats.
A voice suddenly interrupts their conversation.
Laolao: Are we all doing good here, gawr?
Steward: Master Laolao, these people are the ones.
Laolao: I know. I've already made up my mind, gawr.
The steward departs, leaving Laolao to take over.
Laolao: I'm sorry to ambush you with a favor, but I'd like you to nurture the twins for me.
Lyria: What!
Vyrn: You weren't kiddin' about an ambush... You gotta give us more details than that.
Laolao: It began many years ago when the twins were born, although to me it seemed like only yesterday, gawr.
Laolao: At the time, the villagers and I were eagerly awaiting the birth of the next Divine Tiger, gawr.
Steward: Master Laolao!
The day everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived. The steward has gone to collect the peach from the peach tree and should be returning at any moment.
Laolao: This is it! The new keeper is finally here! I can hear her healthy roars, gawr!
Laolao: The steward was supposed to open the peach and bring home the baby inside, gawr.
Steward: Master Laolao... I don't know what to do...
Laolao: When he came sprinting in, he was carrying not one but two little bundles of joy, gawr.
Laolao: Why have you brought me two babies, gawr?
Steward: Because there were two peaches...
Laolao: Yes, I saw that the tree had produced two fruits.
Laolao: Frankly it surprised me to see two peaches, but surely they both couldn't contain a baby. Evidently I was wrong, gawr.
Steward: Has this ever happened before?
Laolao: Never! It's always been one peach, one baby, gawr!
Steward: Hm... Then to whom shall we bestow the chosen name of Cidala?
Laolao: Gawr... That's tough... I don't want to show any favoritism...
Laolao: In the end, I named the girl from the yellow peach Huang Cidala.
Laolao: And the girl from the white peach became Bai Cidala.
Laolao: That's how they got their names.
Vyrn: Whoa... And that's how they both became the Divine Tiger?
Laolao: No. Actually, I was still on the fence. I intended to pick one of them at a later time, gawr.
Vyrn: Oh...
Laolao: Thing is...
Huang: Got you now! Gawr!
Bai: You were saying?
Bai: Now who's wide open? Gawr!
Huang: Nyahaha! Nice try!
Laolao: What are you gawrls doing! Cut that out before you smash the village to bits, gawr!
Huang: We're duking it out to see who gets to be the Divine Tiger!
Bai: Don't try to stop us.
Laolao: What? That's no way to pick a Divine Tiger! Who gave you that idea, gawr? Because it certainly wasn't me!
Laolao: They wouldn't listen to reason. Their behavior was destructive. And of course they were intelligent, gawr.
Laolao: None of my usual teaching methods could cut it anymore. They were already beyond my control, gawr.
Laolao: I was at my wit's end. I even pushed them off a cliff just to see what would happen, gawr.
Huang: Cool! Can't believe we're going to be training this high up.
Bai: I like the view.
Laolao: Tah!
Fading Voices: Nyaaaah!
Soon their screams are swallowed up by the ravine far below them.
Steward: How could you push them off of a cliff!
Laolao: I was only trying to think of an effective way to train them. The thought just popped into my head, gawr...
Steward: Have you gone mad! They're your own daughters!
Laolao: I admit I felt a pang of guilt in my heart, but sometimes you need to show a little tough love, gawr...
Steward: I'm going out to look for them! They're hardy girls, but this is a bit much!
Cidala Sisters: We're back!
Steward: By the gods!
Laolao: They strolled into the temple as if returning from a shopping trip. Maybe with a few minor scrapes that all kids somehow pick up.
Laolao: Were they indestructible? I felt a sense of foreboding in the pit of stomach, gawr.
Vyrn: What did you think was gonna happen?
Laolao: Of all the keepers that came before them, their feng shui is the most potent yet, gawr. They've gone even further and developed something called Twin Tiger Feng Shui.
Laolao: Feng shui is the concept of influencing fortune, be it good or bad, via the orientation of buildings or objections, gawr.
Laolao: Layouts that promote a negative flow of qi consequently leave the door open for misfortune. The same is true for positive qi and good fortune, gawr.
Laolao: The twins took that idea and incorporated it into their fighting style.
Laolao: And so Twin Tiger Feng Shui was born, gawr.
Vyrn: How's it work?
Laolao: By activating Twin Tiger Feng Shui, they can actually see the flow of qi.
Laolao: If an enemy is pointing in an unfavorable direction, the girls will mercilessly exploit their foe's disadvantage, gawr.
Laolao: Conversely, they might discover points of safe harbor, which are signs of favorable luck.
Vyrn: I don't really get what you're sayin', but I guess it sounds useful.
Laolao: To become proficient at feng shui combat requires tons of talent, gawr. Unfortunately their competition to decide who gets crowned as the Divine Tiger got out of hand.
Laolao: You can't see it at night, but there's a small uninhabited island not far from us. It takes about a day to walk a lap. That's how small it is, gawr.
Laolao: Well, it used to be a lot bigger, gawr. Twice the size it is today, in fact, before the girls decimated it with their antics.
Vyrn: Are you serious?
Laolao: The hammer each of them wields is an old and sacred weapon passed down from the first keeper, gawr. Its power will boggle your mind.
Laolao: I thought it was too much for the girls, gawr. Ah, the tears I spilled when I split the hammer in two to curb its might, but its full power remained nonetheless, gawr.
Laolao: For three days and three nights, they fought each other for the title of Divine Tiger using their halves of the hammer, gawr.
Laolao: On the morning of the fourth day, we all noticed that the island looked considerably smaller, gawr.
Laolao: A horrible realization dawned on us: it wouldn't be long before their sibling rivalry spilled over onto this island.
Laolao: The islanders and I got together and decided that naming both girls as the Divine Tiger was in everyone's best interests, gawr.
Laolao: Then we'd release them out into the real world to gain experience, perform their duties, and hopefully mature.
Laolao: Don't take this as if we're pawning them off, gawr.
Vyrn: (But that's exactly what it sounds like...)
Laolao: Look, I know what you're thinking, gawr! But they'll pull their weight! You could totally use a pair of feng shui practitioners, gawr!
Laolao: Yes, they might have issues with self-control, and their rambunctiousness will drive you insane, but who among us can claim to be perfect in this world?
Vyrn: You're not makin' a strong case here...
Laolao: Gawr! They're my treasures!
Vyrn and Lyria: ...!
Laolao: You don't have to say it, gawr... I was too much of a scaredy-cat to pick one as the Divine Tiger.
Laolao: They both wanted it so badly that I couldn't bring myself to disappoint the other. This is all my fault, gawr.
Lyria: Laolao...
Laolao: I mentioned earlier this afternoon that the previous keepers went on to live fulfilling lives.
Laolao: Huang and Bai still have many years ahead of them. I want them to find the happiness they deserve, gawr.
Laolao: But they've got lots of growing up to do. Since it's their turn to be the year spirit, this is the perfect chance for them to learn, gawr.
Vyrn: Okay, now you're startin' to make more sense.
Laolao: Besides, the twins have pretty much outgrown this village, gawr.
Laolao: I'm fully aware my fatherly authority can't reign them in anymore.
Laolao: I couldn't do anything for them, gawr...
Lyria: ...
Laolao: So there you have it. That's my reason for asking you to take on Huang and Bai.
(Captain) considers at length Laolao's emotional plea. Finally, the captain accepts.
Laolao: I am in your debt, gawr.
Once the banquet concludes, they all turn in for the night.
Laolao: Our guests are ready to leave. Let's see them off with a quick round of tea, gawr.
Cidala Sisters: Okay.
Seated inside the Tiger Temple, (Captain) and the others gather around cups of tea brewed by the steward.
Huang: Where are you off to next?
Vyrn: We took a job on an island that's pretty far from here.
Bai: You guys roam all over the place, huh?
Lyria: Uh-huh! Sometimes to places farther than you can imagine!
Laolao: Gawr! How exciting! Doesn't it get your heart racing, Huang? Bai?
Huang: Yeah! Just think of all the cute clothes I could buy! I'm so jelly!
Bai: I could finally get my hands on more books and... other fun stuff.
Laolao: Exactly! So have a good trip, you two, gawr!
Huang: Who are you... talking to? Yawn...
Bai: Why... am I so sleepy... Yawn...
Their heads suddenly feel heavy. With a final nod, the sisters slump forward in a deep sleep.
Laolao: Steward's sleeping brew can knock out the worst insomniac. Time to get them on your ship, gawr.
Lyria: Are you sure this is how you want to part ways? Won't they be so sad when they wake up?
Laolao: That's a price that has to be paid, gawr. Part of growing up means dealing with harsh lessons.
Once the sleeping sisters are onboard the Grandcypher, Laolao gets ready to leave.
Vyrn: Last chance, Laolao. Sayin' goodbye like this is pretty rough if you ask me.
Laolao: I'm prepared to be the bad guy, gawr. This will be tougher on them than being shoved off a cliff, but it's for their own good.
Laolao: Here. You'll need this too, gawr.
The crew stare at the long sheet of paper they've just been given.
Laolao: I've written down specific care instructions for each of them, gawr.
Vyrn: Uh... What do you mean by "care instructions"?
Laolao: Huang is the eldest and always approaches things full tilt, gawr. Her exuberant energy isn't a bad thing, but it can be stifling.
Laolao: Coming off as smart and stylish means a lot to her, so it's a shame that she's still rough around the edges, gawr. You could even say she's kind of oblivious.
Laolao: Her skirt will often ride up, but she won't notice until well after leaving the temple grounds. Once the waterworks start, they won't stop, gawr.
Lyria: Oh no...
Laolao: Bai, on the other hand, loves to read. But don't let her bookish exterior fool you; she's just as headstrong as her older sister.
Laolao: The subject matter she reads is rather... dubious. She's picked up knowledge that she's not ready for, gawr. I still don't know where she hides some of her books.
Laolao: Although the novels are supposedly for all ages, I think she's still too young for them, gawr. You need to confiscate them from time to time.
Vyrn: Uh...
Laolao: When it comes to meals, they're both sensitive to heat. Either blow on their food, or let it cool down a little before serving, gawr.
Laolao: As you know, meat is their favorite, gawr. However, they can't handle extreme spiciness. Please keep that in mind.
Laolao: They enjoy taking cold baths, so it'd be great if you could provide them with a cool dip every once in a while. Oh, and don't forget to keep them properly protected from the sun, gawr.
Vyrn: (Geez... Overprotective much? I thought you were ready to sever cold turkey!)
Huang: Zzz...
Bai: Zzz...
Laolao: Listen to those cute snores. Reminds me of when they were babies, gawr.
Laolao takes one final gaze at his daughters' peaceful faces.
Finally he turns to leave.
Laolao: Gurk!
Two tails shoot out and coil around Laolao's body. He nervously glances over his shoulder and comes in eye contact with the twins.
Huang: Nyahaha...
Bai: Gotcha.
Laolao: What!
Huang: You're coming too, Lao! Everybody in the village said so!
Bai: Just so you know, I always look cute. Not just in my sleep.
Laolao: How are you awake! The tea should've knocked you out good!
Bai: That's easy. The tea was clean.
Vyrn: Yep. The steward never put in any of the sleeping herbs.
Vyrn: The villagers plan to stuff ya on our ship?
Vyrn: C'mon, that'd make us kidnappers. Enough with the conspiracy talk.
Bai: We're pretty sure Lao's cooking up an excuse to get you to take us along.
Huang: And you just know it's going to be something about needing to grow up or whatever. It's so annoying.
Sensing that the adults are plotting behind their backs, the Cidala Sisters are trying to stay one step ahead.
Lyria: Hm... But what can we do?
Huang: Well... You could... I don't know... Maybe...
Bai: Huang's struggling to say she wouldn't mind going as long as Lao and I are with her.
Huang: Hey! I know you want this too, Bai!
Huang: Look, we need Lao, okay? Who else is going to do stuff for us?
Steward: I think it's a fine idea.
Bai: Steward.
Steward: Regardless of Master Laolao's words, I can't imagine that he truly wishes to part from you two.
Steward: He simply fears that he can't provide enough for you as a parent.
Huang: Why does he have to go and think that way?
Bai: I like being with Lao.
Steward: It's different when you're a parent.
Vyrn: You're positive Laolao's gonna ask us to take care of the twins?
Steward: Without a doubt. If I know him, he will put them under with sleeping herbs in order to get them aboard your ship.
Steward: I suggest Huang and Bai pretend to be asleep, and then you can fly away with Master Laolao in tow.
Steward: After all, those three are family.
Vyrn: Family, huh...
The thought of tearing apart a family nauseates (Captain), and the captain feels obliged to take on all three.
Huang: F-for real?
  1. From now on, we're together.
  2. Let's get to know each other.

Choose: From now on, we're together.
Choose: Let's get to know each other.
Huang: Gasp! A-are you saying...
Huang: (Does (Captain)... like me?)
Bai: What's it like living on an airship?
  1. I'll show you anything you want.
  2. Hop aboard and find out.

Choose: I'll show you anything you want.
Choose: Hop aboard and find out.
Bai: Whoa!
Bai: (Is (Captain)... starved for attention?)
Cidala Sisters: (What do I say...)
Steward: (Sigh... It seems the girls have gotten the wrong ideas again...)
Steward: (I suppose it's only natural given they're at that stage in their development. This crew will have their hands full.)
Steward: Now then, skyfarers, you will have some acting to do. Master Laolao will be here shortly.
Lyria: We have to pretend like we don't know his plan!
Steward: Correct. After hearing Master Laolao's side of the story, you're free to make you own decisions.
Steward: I think you will come to understand how much he cares for them.
Laolao: Gawr! I can't believe I fell for such an obvious trap!
Laolao: Let go of me! Let me live on this island in peace, gawr!
But the twins refuse to comply. Laolao feels the unmistakable tremor of the Grandcypher pulling away from port.
Vyrn: Haha, give it up. The girls need you. You know it. I know. We all know it.
Laolao: Urgh...
Huang: It's time to grab our year by the tail!
Bai: I'm getting chills.
Laolao: You sneaky rapscallions! You give the terrible twos a whole new meaning, gawr!
With the island of the Tiger Temple at their backs, the Cidala Sisters ride the Grandcypher to heights they've never achieved.
In which direction are they being pointed to? Wherever that destination may be, surely they're on the right track.

Tiger! Tiger!

The crew are attacked by monsters while on their way to see a client, but the Cidala Sisters use a unique technique called Twin Tiger Feng Shui to fend off the assault. Once at the client's mansion, he wants (Captain) to exterminate a monster that's riling up other monsters in the area. Huang and Bai stay behind at the mansion to act as the client's bodyguards.



The crew have arrived at the island of their next job. Now they need to meet the client, who lives in a mansion on the outskirts of a city.
However, on the way to the client's home, they are chased off the main road by a horde of monsters and driven into the forest.
Vyrn: Geez... Why are so many beasties runnin' around this close to where people live?
Monster Horde: Grooar!
Just when it seems like the crew is about to lose its pursuers, Huang and Bai suddenly stop in their tracks.
Huang: This looks like a good spot!
Bai: Yep. They're all lined up. Ripe for the plucking.
Vyrn: Hey, don't stop now! We're so close to gettin' away!
But the twins aren't listening. Instead they turn to face the incoming monster horde.
Huang takes out a square board and holds it up with her open palm. Bai places her hand underneath her sister's.
Cidala Sisters: Twin Tiger Feng Shui!
Vyrn: What's happening!
Lyria: I don't know...
Bai: Everyone, take a small step to your right.
Lyria: Um, to the right?
Huang: Actually, you should get behind us.
It doesn't appear as if the girls intend to run nor fight. They simply pace back and forth where they stand.
Vyrn: What are you talkin' about! We gotta make a run for it while we still can!
Laolao: Have patience, gawr, and do as they say.
(Captain) remains confused but decides to trust them and orders the crew to get behind the sisters.
Huang: Vyrn, come stand in front of us.
Vyrn: Wh-what? Y-you're not plannin' on usin' me as a shield, are you?
Bai: Move it.
A chorus of roars and stomping feet crashes through the brush just as the sisters grab hold of Vyrn.
Monster Horde: Grooar!
Vyrn: Nooo! They're closin' in fast!
Monster after monster flit through the trees, honing in for the kill.
However, the charging beasts come to a halt just shy of their targets.
Monster Horde: Grooar!
Vyrn: Bwuh? They all... stopped?
Lyria: Why are they only watching us and not attacking?
Laolao: They definitely could charge at us right now, but monsters are creatures of instinct, gawr.
Laolao: They can see we're standing on a spot that's tough to attack.
Vyrn: Really? What's so special about this place?
Laolao: Low-hanging branches might block their view, or the ground could be unstable, gawr. Any number of details can put them on high alert.
Huang: Everyone's felt that sinking feeling when they sense something's off.
Bai: We used our feng shui compass to pinpoint the direction that will bring misfortune to the monsters.
Lyria: But they can still move, can't they?
Huang: Of course they can. But—
Right on cue, one of the monsters leaps forward.
Vyrn: Yikes! We're dead meat!
Bai: No, not us.
Huang: Their fate is sealed.
Lyria: What's that sound?
Before the other monsters can follow suit, they hear a low rumbling coming from a nearby hill.
The last thing the creatures see are boulders careening toward them down the slope.
Vyrn: Holy smokes! The monsters got buried by a landslide!
Lyria: Oh my gosh! Did Huang and Bai do all that?
Laolao: Wrong, gawr. The monsters made the wrong moves, which led to their demise.
Laolao: While Twin Tiger Feng Shui is activated, as soon as you arrive at the end of a prescribed path, luck decides your fate.
Lyria: I... see...
Vyrn: I don't really get it... But it sounds cool.
Vyrn: So wait. What'd you need me for?
Bai: Today's lucky color happens to be red. And who here is the reddest of them all?
Huang: Twin Tiger Feng Shui gets a power boost when lucky colors and objects come into play!
Vyrn: Hm... Hey, hold it! Who're you callin' an object!
Lyria: Ahaha... I'm just glad that we're safe and everything worked out.
Any surviving monsters flee after seeing their comrades crushed by the landslide. The crew is free to continue to the mansion undisturbed.
Rich Client: Welcome. Thank you for coming.
Glancing around at the mansion, the crew is struck by its immense size, especially given the conspicuous lack of denizens.
Lyria: Wow... You have such a big home. Do you live alone?
Rich Client: Yes, I do.
Vyrn: Huh... So there's a downside to havin' too much space...
Rich Client: It's a story I'm loathe to tell. In short, my business took a tumble. After that, my wife and servants left.
Rich Client: This is all I have to show for—ugh! Cough, cough!
Lyria: A-are you okay?
Rich Client: Y-yes... It seems even my body is beginning to fail me... Misery never travels alone, as they say...
Rich Client: Ahem. Moving on to the job request. Recently the monsters around—cough, cough—around here have been increasing.
Vyrn: Oh yeah, a bunch of 'em already came out to say hello on our way over. It was a pretty big pack too, considerin' how close we are to the city.
Rich Client: An especially large monster seems to be controlling the hordes. I believe it's nesting somewhere close by.
Rich Client: I had visions of rejuvenating my business enterprise, but with those creatures roaming free...
Vyrn: Our job is to get rid of 'em, right?
Rich Client: I would be extremely grateful if you could. I've taken my licks in life, but I'll be darned if I leave the world as monster chow.
Vyrn: Right, so to sum up, we need to take down a big baddie that's lording it over the other monsters.
(Captain) pauses to think, then suggests that the Cidala Sisters remain at the mansion as bodyguards.
Huang: Us two?
Bai: Defend a mansion?
Huang: Aw, can't I go with you? I'll rip and tear any monster to shreds!
Bai: Are you saying you don't want me around, (Captain)?
Laolao: (No, this is a good call. Feng shui at its core is better suited for defense, gawr.)
Laolao: ((Captain) figured that out after observing one battle. The youth is very perceptive.)
  1. I wish I could take you with me...

Choose: I wish I could take you with me...
Huang: Wha! H-how can you say that when everyone's listening!
  1. But I need you to wait for me.

Choose: But I need you to wait for me.
Bai: Gasp! This captain is so bold...
Vyrn: Monsters are crawlin' everywhere. Someone's gotta keep our VIP outta their jaws.
Lyria: We saw how amazing your feng shui was. We'd feel much better if you both stayed behind!
At this point, the sisters can't hear what Vyrn and Lyria are saying. They're off in their own little worlds.
Huang: (The captain's only pretending to keep me away... Can't let anyone know about their secret crush...)
Bai: (I know what's going on here... Captain's playing hard to get... So shameless.)
Huang: (It's so obvious that (Captain)'s fallen for me, isn't it? Because I'm such a cutey.)
Bai: ((Captain)... You can't hide those leering eyes from me...)
Huang: F-fine, (Captain). I'll keep this place locked up just for you... I-I mean for the client.
Lyria: Huh?
Bai: The notorious captain enjoys bossing me around.
Vyrn: Uh...
Laolao: (Why are they like this? What am I going to do with you gawrls?)
Huang: Get it together, Bai! A feng shui practitioner has to stay calm at all times! For a Divine Tiger to have impure thoughts is an instant fail!
Bai: You're one to talk. I don't ever want to hear a lecture coming from you.
Huang: What'd you say!
Lyria: P-please! Don't fight! We'll be right back, okay?
Vyrn: If there's even anything to come back to...

Tiger! Tiger!: Scene 2

Huang and Bai assess the feng shui of the client's mansion, concluding that there's lots of negative qi. A burglar suddenly breaks in; the twins easily toss him into the ceiling and a chandelier falls on him. The injured burglar admits he broke into the house because it looked like an easy target. This further solidifies the sisters' assessment that the mansion is plagued with bad luck.



(Captain) and company head off into the wilderness to exterminate monsters, leaving behind three people and one tiger at the mansion.
Huang Cidala is convinced (Captain) has a crush on her.
Meanwhile, Bai Cidala seems to often take things out of context.
Then there's the sacred tiger Laolao, and the mansion's owner.
A terrible crisis will befall this odd collection of house sitters.
Huang: What's up with this weird house?
Bai: Yeah. I've never seen such a layout.
Rich Client: What sticks out in particular? Architecture is a passion of mine; I had this house built to my specifications. Isn't it amazing?
Huang: You have to turn down three hallways just to get to the toilet... I guess you could call it a maze... Zing!
Bai: To say nothing of the kitchen. It's too dark—the windows are far away. And burying the bathroom in the bowels of the building creates bad ventilation.
Rich Client: How bad is it?
Huang: Basically this entire layout is an open spigot of really negative qi!
Rich Client: Negative... qi?
Huang: Living in a house full of negative qi is asking for trouble. This place is in serious need of positive qi.
Rich Client: Wait, don't tell me you believe in superstition? My life is in shambles, but I hardly see how the floor plan of my house can cause—
Just then, a faint noise coming from the bathroom echoes throughout the empty house.
Bai: What was that?
Rich Client: I hung up some clothes to dry. The laundry pole probably fell down.
Rich Client: With the departure of my servants, I've learned the hard way that I'm terrible at household chores.
The client leaves to go check on his laundry.
???: Don't move!
Rich Client: Agh!
Cidala Sisters: Huh?
Laolao: Who are you, gawr?
An unknown assailant appears in the hallway. He brandishes a knife at the others, while keeping his other arm wrapped around the client.
???: Everyone stand up, nice and easy. No funny business, or this guy gets it!
Rich Client: A-are you robbing me?
Burglar: You got it. I'm a burglar! Now that we know each other, hand over all your valuables!
Bai: Did you hear that, Huang? He said he's a burglar.
Huang: I smell a golden opportunity! I didn't think we'd run into one this soon after joining the crew.
Burglar: Hey. You two runts and that... cat thing. Turn around and put your hands behind your backs.
Laolao: I am not a cat, gawr. Still, we'd better do as he says.
With an experienced hand, the intruder ties his captives to a large pillar in one of the open rooms.
Burglar: Just hang there for a while, hehe... My fingers and I have a date with the treasures in this house.
Rich Client: Wait! My house is a facade! I'm all cleaned out! Please have mercy on us!
Burglar: Pfft, I can tell just by lookin'. Everything's fallin' apart, and you haven't done jack to repair the place.
Rich Client: Y-yes, well... I can't argue with the truth.
Burglar: You're lookin' at pro. You thought I didn't case the joint?
Burglar: I just got done with a different heist, and I'm only poppin' in 'cause it's on my way home. Even if you're bankrupt, you gotta have a secret stash somewhere!
Rich Client: Please, that's all I have left! I need it to restart my business!
Burglar: Cry me a river.
The burglar coldly shuts down the client and begins to run his hands along the shelves.
Huang: Whoa-ho! You are a pro! How many houses have you broken into?
Bai: I want to know too.
Burglar: What the hell! H-how did you two get loose!
Huang: The ropes fell off. After we tore them to pieces, I mean.
Huang and Bai casually toss the tattered shreds of fiber at the burglar's feet.
Burglar: You... ripped them apart with your bare hands?
Bai: Tying up girls is odious. What a villain.
Huang: Eww, gross! Better stop doing that if you don't want your luck to tank!
Burglar: Shaddup, ya damn brats! Who are you!
Bai: Aha! That's our cue!
Huang and Bai scramble to strike the poses they've spent so much time trying to perfect.
Cidala Sisters: Divine Tiger I'm and Cidala of the Twelve Guardian of Divine the Generals East-Northeast—
Burglar: What?
Bai: Another failure. You need to follow my lead, Huang.
Huang: Hey, I was going to say that!
Bai: Sigh... Did you catch any of what we said, Mr. Burglar?
Burglar: The hell do I care!
The infuriated burglar grabs the girls, but Huang and Bai shake him off. Or rather, throw him off.
Burglar: Waaah!
Burglar: Gwah!
Burglar: Oof!
After the burglar slams into the ceiling, he crashes back down to the floor. A falling chandelier tops off his battered body.
Rich Client: Geez! Never in my life have I seen a man bounce from ceiling to floor!
Laolao: Girls, hurry up and untie us.
As the woozy burglar, now covered in glass, struggles to get up, the curious Cidala Sisters continue to assault him... with questions.
Bai: Hey, Mr. Burglar. What's so interesting about this mansion?
Bai: W-wait... Were you trying to kidnap us?
Huang: Yeah, we have a lot to learn, so let's hear it.
Burglar: Guh... No reason... Just saw it on my way... home from another heist...
Burglar: No security... No locks... This place was... like a sitting duck...
Huang: Haha! I told you the layout of this house was no good.
Bai: Its orientation points in the wrong direction.
Rich Client: I'm sorry, what?
Laolao: In other words, this house might as well have a big sign that says "everything must go" to criminals.
Rich Client: I can't believe it...
Burglar: Ngh...
Laolao: Out like a light, gawr.
The burglar finally faints from his injuries.

Tiger! Tiger!: Scene 3

The burglar, desperate to escape from the mansion, flips the client to his side by bribing him with jewels he'd stolen in an earlier heist. Now both men pretend to be good friends with each other and demand restitution from the sisters for the broken chandelier and the burglar's injuries. Huang and Bai, having little money, are driven into a corner.



Burglar: Unh... Wha?
Huang: Look who's up.
Bai: Does your back still hurt, Mr. Villain? We tried to make you comfortable.
Burglar: Man, don't call me that...
The burglar finds himself lying on his back, though not restrained. This drives home how much stronger the girls are compared to him.
Burglar: (Who do these kids think they are, acting all smug!)
Burglar: (Never suffered a single humiliation in my entire decade of smooth burgling... until now.)
For the Cidala Sisters, they've lost interest in the prone man. In their minds, they have more pressing matters to attend to.
Huang: (Will (Captain)'s crush grow even stronger, now that I've caught a burglar?)
Huang: (M-maybe the captain will confess to me... How should I answer?)
Bai: (What kind of reward will (Captain) give me for catching the burglar?)
Bai: (Should I even accept it?)
Laolao stares disapprovingly at the sisters.
Laolao: (Where did I go wrong...)
Burglar: (It can't end like this... I'm still in my prime!)
Rich Client: (What have I gotten myself into?)
Five individuals; five different sets of circumstances. The burglar finally gets the ball rolling.
Burglar: (There has to be a way outta this... If only I had somethin' at my disposal...)
He frantically scans the room for anything useful. When he spots the bag at his feet, his eyes dart to the client.
Burglar: (That's it! Only got one shot at this... Here goes nothing!)
The burglar fights through the pain and gets to his feet.
Burglar: Listen to me. I am not a burglar!
Laolao: Huh?
Cidala Sisters: Whaaaat!
Huang: Are you kidding me? That ship sailed a long time ago!
Bai: I knew you were after us all along...
Burglar: No, I'm not!
Rich Client: If I may be so bold as to interject, you yourself announced you were a burglar.
Burglar: What are you talking about, my good friend?
Rich Client: Excuse me?
Opening the bag at his feet, the burglar carefully pulls out gems and precious metals, lays them on a table, and pushes them toward the client.
Laolao: Gawr... Those are worth a pretty rupie.
Burglar: I came over to give you these treasures. That's right. All of them.
Rich Client: What!
Burglar: C'mon, man. We go way back, don't we? These all have your name on 'em.
The client is enthralled by the glittering bounty before him. Having fallen on hard times, the sudden windfall is too much for him to process.
Rich Client: (This is all... for me?)
Rich Client: (This ought to be more than enough to pay off my debts and secure the business capital I need.)
Huang: What are you trying to pull, Mr. Burglar?
Bai: Yeah, I don't buy it.
Huang and Bai turn to each other and shrug.
Rich Client: This man...
Huang: Hm?
Rich Client: This man is not a burglar!
It's such a stunning reversal that the sisters are momentarily silenced.
Cidala Sisters: Whaaaat!
Bai: Did you hit your head, mister? He's a thief, plain and simple.
Huang: Friends don't barge into the house while waving a knife and then tie you up!
Rich Client: No, no, he's an old friend of mine. The only grandchild of my mother's father's wife.
Bai: Wouldn't that make him you?
Rich Client: Forget it! All that matters is he's a friend and not a thief! I know this for a fact!
Laolao: He's obviously being bribed. This is setting such a bad example for the kids, gawr.
Client's Friend: Long time no see, ol' buddy! The years haven't been kind to ya! Hahaha!
Rich Client: Like you said, we haven't seen each other in ages. Not since those days, am I right? Hahaha!
Huang: This is so fake!
Client's Friend: Golly gee! I see you'll be needing a new chandelier! This musta cost you a whopper, eh?
The burglar deliberately bobs his head at the broken chandelier.
Rich Client: ...!
Rich Client: Pardon me for asking...
Laolao: Yes, what is it?
Rich Client: I politely request that you compensate me for this piece of furniture that was destroyed when you threw my friend.
Cidala Sisters: Whaaaat!
Huang: We were taking out a bad guy! That doesn't count!
Rich Client: But he's not a bad guy. He's my honored guest.
Client's Friend: That's right. And the one's who were responsible for launching me were you two girls!
Client's Friend: I think it's only fair that I'm compensated too for the pain and mental anguish I've suffered.
Huang: Um... Erm...
Bai: Huang, how much money do you have?
Huang: Five rupies... You, Bai?
Bai: Seven.
Bai: Is five rupies okay?
Rich Client: That's nowhere near adequate.
Bai: Rats.
Huang: Wait, why only five rupies?
Huang: What happened to the other seven!
Bai: There's a new book coming out soon. Take one for the team, and I'll let you borrow it.
Huang: Quit buying that garbage!
Rich Client: I'm afraid we're at an impasse... The chandelier cost me years worth of profits...
Client's Friend: Oh, my poor back... It hurts so much... There's only one way to settle this...
Huang and Bai begin to panic under pressure.
Bai: You're not going to take it out on us, are you?
Adults: Absolutely not.
Huang: Could it be that... I've captured your hearts?
Adults: No way.
Client's Friend: Sigh, let me spell it out for you. We're talking about money!
Bai: Nya-uh. We're poor.
Rich Client: That really is unfortunate because I didn't want to bring this up with your captain.
Cidala Sisters: Whaaaat!
The thought of causing more trouble for the crew that took them in sends shivers down the sisters' spines.
Huang: (I'll lose (Captain)'s respect forever...)
Bai: ((Captain) will sentence me to an embarrassing punishment...)
Laolao: This is the harsh reality of the real world. You girls must find a way to overcome, gawr.

Tiger! Tiger!: Scene 4

Huang and Bai use Twin Tiger Feng Shui to uncover an incredibly expensive watch under the mansion's floorboards. However, it's broken, which is a bad omen in feng shui. The burglar immediately swipes the valuable watch and uses the opportunity to flee. He doesn't get far before bad luck strikes and gets him caught. (Captain) returns to the mansion after completing the job, the client's fortune takes a turn for the better, and the sisters gain a valuable life lesson.



Huang: We're so busted if we get ratted out!
Bai: A crisis of virtue!
Huang: Bai!
Bai: Huang!
Huang takes out the feng shui compass, and the two join hands.
Cidala Sisters: Twin Tiger Feng Shui!
Their eyes begin to glow, like the eyes of a beast stalking through a dark forest. They're tracking the qi flowing throughout the room.
Rich Client: M-may I ask what you're doing?
Bai: We can see it... Negative qi rages like a river.
Huang: It's pooling to the northwest... In the corner of that big room over there.
Bai: Look. Underneath the floorboards...
Huang: Come out, come out!
The twins cock their hammers and bring them down with authority.
Cidala Sisters: Gawr!
Boom go the hammers.
Adults: Whaaaat!
Rich Client: What are you doing to my house!
Huang: When the going gets tough, we let feng shui sort things out! Nyahaha!
Bai: Since we're broke and don't want to be a burden on (Captain), we chose the next best option.
Rich Client: Your logic makes no sense!
Huang: We'll see when we dig up whatever's buried here. Hiyah!
Rich Client: Nooo!
Client's Friend: These runts are out of control!
Huang: Let's crank it up!
Bai: Got it!
Huang: Tiger-tiger-tiger-tiger-tiger!
Bai: Tiger-tiger-tiger-tiger-tiger!
Cidala Sisters: Smash!
Each slam of the warhammer rocks the mansion on its foundation as the pit in the floor grows bigger.
Eventually the girls hit pay dirt.
Bai: Found it.
Rich Client: Is that... a watch?
The client doesn't seem to recognize it.
Huang: Something's rattling inside. I think it's broken.
Laolao: It all makes sense now. That watch is a source of the mansion's bad juju, gawr.
Rich Client: What do you mean?
Laolao: Broken objects are considered bad omens in feng shui, particularly dysfunctional watches. Nothing you do will turn out right, gawr.
Huang: That's no ordinary watch. I bet it has a dark history.
Bai: It's chock full of negative qi. You shouldn't even get near it.
Rich Client: It doesn't belong to me nor my wife. The previous residents must have forgotten to take it with them.
Laolao: Either that, or they knew it was unlucky and abandoned it here, gawr. But take a look at the other side.
Laolao: It's encrusted with jewels and gold. Must be worth a fortune, gawr.
Rich Client: Ah, so it is! Aside from being covered in dirt, I don't see any signs of exterior damage.
Laolao: If you sold this watch, you could build two or three more mansions, gawr. It puts the stolen goods to shame.
Client's Friend: ...!
Huang: Cool!
Bai: Congrats, mister.
Rich Client: Huh? Is it right for me to keep this?
Laolao: We found it on your property after all, though it'd be wise to sell it off as soon as possible, gawr.
Rich Client: Th-thank you so much! With this I'll be able to settle my debts and have enough money to restart my business!
Client's Friend: Yoink.
Moving with the speed of a cat, the burglar swipes the valuable timepiece from the client's hands.
Rich Client: What is the meaning of this, my friend?
Client's Friend: You can take that friend-talk and shove it! I'm a burglar!
Rich Client: Whaaaat!
Burglar: Huh? You got somethin' to say to me? This watch is mine!
Rich Client: B-but... You... Wait, I... I thought we agreed to be long-lost friends!
Burglar: I don't give a damn! A burglar's gonna burgle! Thanks for the goody!
Reeling from the swindle of the two-faced crook, the client can only watch as the burglar stuffs the watch in his bag of spoils and dashes out of the house.
Cidala Sisters: ...
Laolao: He's fast, gawr.
Rich Client: How did... this happen...
The client sinks to his knees and looks at the girls with anguished eyes.
Rich Client: What are you waiting for! Go catch that criminal!
Cidala Sisters: Whaaaat!
Laolao: This guy flip-flops more than a spinning coin, gawr.
Bai: Have you no shame?
Huang: I thought you called him a close friend!
Rich Client: My friend? I don't know what you're talking about!
Laolao: So that's how you want to play it, huh? You know, this wouldn't have happened if you'd only treated him like the thief he is, gawr.
Rich Client: Hey, he tried to butter me up with his buddy-buddy talk! Geez, what a despicable fellow!
Huang: Who are you trying to fool?
Starting to feel guilty for betraying the sisters, the client tries to pin his lapse in judgment solely on the other man.
Rich Client: Aha! You saw how he snatched the watch from me? So he was a burglar!
Huang: Yeah, we figured that out from the start...
Rich Client: Great! Then you have to catch him and return my watch! Please!
To the client's dismay, the girls plop down on a sofa and chill.
Rich Client: Um... Excuse me, but the thief is getting away...
Bai: Hm...
Huang: How are you feeling?
Bai: Like we've been humiliated and belittled.
Seeing the evident lack of interest from the girls, the client is keenly aware of his misdeeds. This time he grovels on his knees properly.
Rich Client: I... I realize I was wrong. I allowed that man to get in my head with sweet-talk.
Rich Client: I sincerely apologize for my lies and deception. It's no wonder everyone in my life has left this pitiful old fool.
Laolao: At last you've seen the light, gawr.
Rich Client: Yes... It's over. I've made my bed. Disgraceful people like me deserve to fall!
Laolao: Let's not be hasty, gawr. Twin Tiger Feng Shui is already working its magic.
Rich Client: Huh?
Huang: Talk about bad luck. Mr. Burglar dug his own grave by making a run for it.
Bai: He shouldn't have taken the broken watch. Feng shui doesn't mess around.
Laolao: The needle of fortune is slowing to a stop, gawr. Right now it's pointing in a favorable direction for us.
Laolao: And what's good for us is bad for the burglar, gawr.
Rich Client: Erm...
Burglar: Huff... Huff... Hehe! What a freaking haul!
Bewitched by the watch's beauty, he can't stop staring at it even as he flees. Naturally, his foot catches on a tree root.
Burglar: Oof! Damn, that hurt...
Bees: ...!
The residents of a beehive in the tree don't take too kindly to having their home disturbed.
Burglar: Augh! Gaaah! Beeees!
Bees: ...!
His screams draw the attention of nearby monsters, who sense a delicious meal.
Monster Horde: Groooar!
Bees: ...!
Burglar: Wheeze... Pant... Help me please! Anybody!
Burglar: Doof!
When the man rounds a tree to throw off his pursuers, he plows face-first into a gigantic wall of flesh.
Giant Monster: Grrr...
Burglar: Aaaagh!
Vyrn: Get down, mister!
(Captain): ...!
Giant Monster: Gyargh!
Burglar: Huff... Huff...
Having narrowly avoided death, the man is in a state of shock. His only thought is to dump out the contents of his bag to check on his precious cargo.
Vyrn: So he's a burglar, huh? When we saw all the glitzy stuff he had, we smelled somethin' fishy. Looks like we were right.
Burglar: Urk...
Huang: Aren't you happy to see us again, Mr. Burglar?
Bai: Did you exterminate your monsters?
Lyria: Yes, but it wasn't easy. The mountainside was teeming with them.
Laolao: Meanwhile, our monsters came in the form of skydwellers mired in deceitful greed, gawr.
Lyria: Erm... Is that so...
Vyrn: Say, what happened here? Was that huge hole in the floor always there?
Rich Client: Haha... Ah, where do I even begin...
Hm? Who's there?
???: Um, hello...
Rich Client: My love! And the rest of you! Why have you come!
Bai: Who?
Rich Client: That woman is my wife, and those are our servants.
Rich Client: But I don't know what's brought them here. Has something happened?
Client's Wife: You tell me. We heard dreadful noises that sounded like explosions coming from the mansion. Fearing the worst, we came running—
Client's Wife: Um... Why is there a large hole in the parlor floor?
Rich Client: Haha... I'm sorry for worrying everyone, but it's all my fault. Mine and mine alone.
Client's Wife: I have a feeling this will take time to sort out. But you seem like a changed man, even if just a little...
Client's Wife: We all talked it over and decided to give you another chance if you'd learned your lesson.
Rich Client: Y-you really mean it?
The client's fortune appears to have completely flipped.
Laolao: That's one problem solved, gawr.
Rich Client: Thank you, thank you! Oh, I can never thank your crew enough!
Rich Client: The deplorable behavior I showed today is a guilt I will carry for the rest of my life!
Rich Client: I think it might be time to demolish this mansion and build a new one that's more... welcoming of positive qi.
Laolao: An excellent choice, gawr.
Huang: Looks like everything worked out!
Bai: Yeah, not bad. All the negative qi was flushed down the drain.
Huang: Woo-hoo! Hey, (Captain)! We had our hands full with house-sitting, but it was nothing we couldn't handle!
Bai: Don't reward me too hard, (Captain). It might go to my head...
Vyrn: Yeah? Sounds like a doozy of a story. What happened while we were gone?
Huang: Uh...
Bai: Well, you know... Like...
(Captain) was the one who defeated the tyrannical monster and captured the burglar.
On the other hand, the Cidala Sisters have blasted a huge crater in the client's home and destroyed an expensive chandelier.
And not only did their hammering sow fear in simple cityfolk, it compelled a homeowner to completely gut his beloved dwelling.
Bai: Actually... We didn't do anything, did we?
Huang: Except throw everything into chaos...
Bai: Shoot...
Huang: We tried so hard too...
Laolao: (That's how it goes sometimes, gawr. The good luck that feng shui brings doesn't always play out as you'd expect.)
  1. You really helped us out.
  2. I'm glad everyone's safe.

Choose: You really helped us out.
Huang: Huh?
Bai: In what way?
Lyria: The client is safe, right? You two were the perfect bodyguards.
Vyrn: Yep. He doesn't have a single scratch on him! We knew we could count on you girls!

Choose: I'm glad everyone's safe.
Bai: Huh?
Huang: Safe?
Vyrn: Safety comes first. And it looks like the client wasn't hurt either.
Lyria: Uh-huh! You two did a wonderful job of protecting everyone!
Continue 1
Huang: Y-yeah! We pulled out all the stops!
Bai: Grab a chair, and listen to our tale of tribulations.
Laolao: (I couldn't have found a better crew for these two, gawr.)
A relieved Laolao watches over the girls as they eagerly recount the exciting events they had encountered.
Although the sisters have mostly stumbled their way through adversity, it's a sure sign they're growing up.

To Kill a Divine Tiger

One day, in the midst of their eternal search for love, Huang and Bai are targeted by a trio of land sharks with their eyes on the Tiger Temple's land. The scheming land sharks drop heavy pots on the girls' heads in an attempt to pass the assassination off as an accident, but Huang and Bai shrug the attack off and move on, completely unaware. Confused, the land sharks begin planning their next hit.



Laolao: The name's Laolao.
Laolao: Sacred tiger and foster parent to generations of Divine Tigers. Honestly, the job's starting to get real old, gawr.
Laolao: In case you didn't know, Divine Tigers are born from the peaches of a sacred tree. But that doesn't make them special or nothing, gawr.
Laolao: Aside from faintly smelling like peaches, they're just like you or me, gawr.
Laolao: The twins who are this generation's Divine Tiger, though. Talk about a handful, gawr.
Laolao: In all my years, I've never seen one like them. Give them an ear and they'll talk your head off, gawr.
Laolao: Huang's the confident type—some would say too confident. She thinks everyone she meets falls head over heels for her, gawr.
Laolao: Bai's a little miss know-it-all in the "adult" department with zero actual experience. She thinks everyone she meets has the hots for her, gawr.
Laolao: If you ask me, wrangling them's harder than preventing an apocalypse, gawr.
Laolao: Still, that doesn't change that fact that they're my adorable little daughters, gawr.
Laolao: And as much as they get on my nerves...
Laolao: I never expected to wake up one day to find them gone, gawr...
It's a bright and sunny day, and the Grandcypher has docked at a port. Inside the ship, a girl is staring out of the window.
Huang: ...
Behind her, another girl has her nose deep in a book.
Bai: ...
Huang: Hey, Bai? How does one get a "boyfriend"?
Bai: Ah, the eternal question. How indeed?
Huang: I know why you can't get one. I'm asking why I can't.
Bai: First you interrupt my reading, now you're trash talking me? Rude, much?
Bai: Good luck ever finding someone to date—you can't even see culture when it's staring you in the face.
Huang: Sorry, can't hear you. There's a perverted book lover yapping in my ear.
Bai: Again, they're art. If you don't fix that rotten heart of yours, you'll be alone forever.
Huang: Come again? You picking a fight?
Bai: What if I am? You always look down on me 'cause I'm the younger sister. I'm sick of it.
Huang: It's an older sister's job to be better, twerp!
Bai: Then I just have to beat you up and take your spot.
Huang: That's not how it works!
Bai: It will be when I'm done with you!
Huang and Bai's fists collide with each other's face at the exact same time.
They drag each other to the floor and become a rolling ball of scuffling chaos that throws the whole room into disarray.
Laolao: Enough! Every time I see you, you're fighting! Cool it, or else! Gawr!
Cidala Sisters: 'Kay...
Laolao: If I catch you doing it again, that's another dinner you'll be skipping! Honestly. How many times do I have to tell you, gawr?
Lyria's Voice: I-I mean... it's good that they're energetic, right?
Vyrn's Voice: A little too energetic—I thought the ship was gonna fall apart. Couldn't you have raised them to be a bit quieter?
Laolao's Voice: Ugh... You think you can talk big just because you raised (Captain), gawr? I could've done just as good a job as...
Laolao's Voice: Hey, there's an idea. How about we swap for a stint, gawr?
Vyrn's Voice: What a thing to say.
Bai: ...
You got us yelled at, Huang.
Huang: What! It was clearly your fault!
Later that day, the Cidala sisters head into town with their feng shui compass at the ready.
Huang: It says this way's a lucky direction.
Bai: So all we have to do is keep going and...
Cidala Sisters: We'll find love!
Huang: Let's go!
Bai: Yeah!
Using feng shui to find love is a common pastime for the sisters.
However, they've never succeeded.
Today, though, a number of interested onlookers are watching them from afar.
???: Heheheh... They're alone. Talk about a lucky break.
???: Once they're sleeping with the fishes, the Tiger Temple's as good as sunk, right, Boss?
???: That's the idea. Without the Divine Tiger around, the temple will topple as easily as a house of cards.
???: And once it's in pieces, there'll be nothing stopping us from wading in to snap up all the land.
Land Shark Goon: Woo! No wonder you're the biggest fish in the business!
Land Shark Lackey: I ain't never known a better shark than you, Boss!
Land Shark: Enough talk—let's get to work.
Huang: Still no prospective sweethearts. What gives? We haven't even been hit on once...
Bai: I can feel some dirty looks on us, though...
Huang: Yeah, yeah, I've heard that before...
As the twins wander aimlessly through town, the land sharks set up on a nearby rooftop, getting ready for their hit job.
Land Shark: We'll need to make it look like an accident. No loose ends.
Land Shark: That's why we'll be dropping these huge pots on their heads. To anyone watching, it'll just seem like plain bad luck.
Land Shark Goon: But, Boss... I heard the Divine Tiger can use some sorta weird magic...
Land Shark Lackey: Yeah, they say it's a special kinda feng shui that lets 'em dodge any attack.
Land Shark: Yes, correct. The so-called Twin Tiger Feng Shui.
When the Cidala sisters activate their Twin Tiger Feng Shui, no attack can ever hope to reach them.
It is an invincible technique that manipulates probability and luck to nullify any offense.
Land Shark: However, my investigations have revealed that they cannot use it while moving.
Land Shark: If they wish to activate their Twin Tiger Feng Shui, they must remain still.
Land Shark Lackey: So since they're walking right now...
Land Shark Goon: It's not active!
Land Shark: Indeed—their guards are wide open.
Land Shark Goon: Damn, Boss! Didn't know you were a private eye too!
Land Shark Goon: Heheheh! If they're not invincible, then we've got nothin' to fear!
Land Shark Lackey: Hey, they're coming this way! I'll get the white one, you get the yellow! You'd better not miss!
Huang: Ugh! Not even a single cheesy pick-up line! Let's just call it a day already!
Land Shark Goon: Bombs away! I'm gonna turn that pretty little head of yours into street art!
Bai: It's because you won't shut up, Huang. You're scaring off all my potential sweethearts.
Huang: Oh, you did not just say that!
Land Shark Lackey: Die!
The land sharks aim the pots at the twins' heads and let gravity do the rest.
Land Shark: Goodbye.
The heavy pots begin to fall. A direct hit from such a height would surely guarantee death.
Cidala Sisters: Nyah?
But while the pots meet their marks, the Cidala sisters look none the worse for wear.
Bai: Huh? Were those flowerpots?
The Cidala sisters rub their heads, examining the scattered pot fragments. Then, they turn their gazes upward.
Bai: I don't see anything...
Huang: I bet someone was just careless enough to leave them on a windowsill. C'mon, let's clean up the pieces.
After tidying up the debris, the sisters go on their way. As for the land sharks...
Land Shark Goon: Uh... We hit them, right?
Land Shark Lackey: Looked that way to me...
Land Shark: N-no need for concern. It's perfectly logical that a Divine General would be rather sturdy.
Land Shark: We simply have to try again another day.
Land Shark: After all... there are as many ways to perform a hit as there are fish in the sea.

To Kill a Divine Tiger: Scene 2

The land sharks continue their assassination attempts on Huang and Bai by trying to run them over with a fake runaway carriage and pushing them into a bottomless swamp. However, the carriage simply ricochets off them, and the swamp proves no obstacle before the might of the girls' fists, leaving them unscathed. From within the shadows, fear begins to creep over the land sharks as they wonder how they're going to overcome the girls' unnatural strength and toughness.



Huang: And we were just walking, minding our own business, when: Crash! Right on top of our heads.
Bai: At the same time, too. Anyone else would've been seriously hurt.
Lyria: What a stroke of bad luck...
Laolao: Let's hope it smacked some sense into you. What I wouldn't give for some peace and quiet, gawr.
Vyrn: Is that really the first place your mind goes?
  1. I'm glad you're both okay.
  2. I wish I'd been there for you.

Choose: I'm glad you're both okay.
Bai: Huh?
Bai: (Captain)... Is that a roundabout way of saying you want to spend a night with me?
Laolao: Of course not, gawr. Forget roundabout—you've gone completely off the map, gawr...

Choose: I wish I'd been there for you.
Huang: Huh?
Huang: Wha... A-are you... proposing to me in broad daylight?
Laolao: Of course not, gawr. How'd you even reach that conclusion, gawr?
Continue 1
Suddenly, the sound of screams can be heard in the distance.
Land Shark Goon: Whoa, there! If you don't wanna eat it, get outta the waaay!
Vyrn: Wah! The heck?
A rapidly approaching horse-drawn coach appears at the end of the street, sending pedestrians running for safety.
Laolao: Those horses are running wild, gawr! The coach is out of control, gawr!
Lyria: It's coming straight at us! We have to get out of the way!
(Captain) and the others run to the side of the street. However...
Vyrn: H-hey! Is it just me, or did it just turn toward us!
Land Shark Goon: You lot, get outta the waaay!
Land Shark Goon: A... coach?
Land Shark: Yes. We'll run the Divine Tiger over with a runaway coach.
Land Shark: In the aftermath, everyone will blame the horses. Then, all you have to do is vanish into the chaos.
Land Shark Goon: Runaway coach, comin' through!
Laolao: Wh-why does the driver look like he's having fun, gawr?
Lyria: Huang! Bai! Watch out!
The fake runaway coach speeds straight toward the Cidala sisters...
Land Shark Goon: (Eat this!)
Cidala Sisters: Nyah?
Land Shark Goon: Huh?
Suddenly, the driver finds himself spinning through the air before crash landing on his back.
Land Shark Goon: Gack!
Vyrn: Whoa, that really did a number... on the coach.
Land Shark Goon: Th-the coach?
His spine throbbing with pain, the goon looks up to see the coach in pieces, scattered across the street.
Huang: Hey, are you okay?
Standing by the wreckage, the Cidala sisters peer down at the groaning man.
Bai: I'm afraid your coach is done for. Don't worry though—Huang will pay for it.
Huang: What! I-is that how it works?
Huang: Wait, but it hit you too, Bai!
Bai: I'm pretty sure it hit you first.
Huang: No way!
Vyrn: You don't need to pay when you're the ones who got hit... I think.
Laolao: You could even ask for medical fees, gawr... Probably.
Huang: Did someone say rupies? I could really use a wardrobe update!
Bai: I have to get the newest volume of the Saucy Skyfarers series...
Vyrn: How bad are your injuries?
Huang: Injuries? Well, uh...
Bai: I don't really have any...
Laolao: Nix the rupies idea then, gawr.
Cidala Sisters: Awww!
By the time (Captain) returns after catching the two horses, the goon has recovered from his bad knock.
Land Shark Goon: (I-I slammed right into them, but it's the coach that's in pieces...)
Land Shark Goon: (Th-they're not normal!)
The land sharks are once again forced to changed their strategy.
Land Shark Goon: I can't believe they shook off a full-speed coach... They're freaks!
Land Shark Lackey: What are we supposed to do, if even running them over doesn't work?
Land Shark: We've learned that they're tough, certainly. But all we have to do is change tack.
Land Shark: This time, we'll drown them. Lack of oxygen is the great equalizer.
Land Shark Lackey: You're a genius, Boss! Wait, but what if they can swim?
Land Shark: So what if they can? Nobody said we had to use water.
Land Shark Lackey: ...?
Huang: Another day, another missed chance at love.
Bai: Tell me about it. Not a single prospect in sight, even after we came all the way out here.
Huang: We chalking this up as another loss?
Bai: Looks like it.
Just as the Cidala sisters are about to throw in the towel, they hear someone running at them from behind.
Bai: Hmm?
Huang: Th-these footsteps...
Bai: (They sound like they belong to an adult man. Why is he out here in the middle of nowhere? No way...)
Huang: (I-it's really happening... I'm gonna get hit on for the first time ever!)
The twins deliberately don't turn around, their hearts pounding in anticipation for the voice of their fervent admirer.
Land Shark Lackey: Whoops, clumsy me!
Cidala Sisters: Nyah?
Surprised by the sudden collision, Huang and Bai stumble ankle-deep into the swamp by the road.
Bai: Aw, I fell in...
Huang: H-hey! Geezer! What's the big idea!
Land Shark Lackey: ...
Bai: He's gone. I don't think he heard you. I didn't even catch what he looked like.
Huang: Ugh, now I've got mud on my feet. I get he was in a hurry, but he could've at least watched where he was going.
Bai: Hey, Huang... Is it just me, or are we sinking?
Huang: Huh? Now that you mention it...
Bai: ...
I think this swamp might be bottomless.
Huang: Bottomless?
Before they know it, Huang and Bai are engulfed up to their waists.
Land Shark Lackey: Heeheehee... Now they're sunk! Anybody'd drown in a bottomless swamp. The more they struggle, the worse off they'll be!
Land Shark Lackey: I gotta hand it to the Boss! Who cares if they're tough if they've got a mouth full of mud!
Huang: It's not literally bottomless, is it?
Bai: Probably not. The sky only goes so deep.
Huang: Still, kinda makes you curious, right? What if there's a big find down there? We could get a public service award!
Bai: Great minds think alike. It's worth a shot—this could be our lucky day.
Land Shark Lackey: Heh, they're flailing like bait on a hook. Don't they realize they'll only sink faster?
Cidala Sisters: And a one, two!
The Cidala sisters lean back and bring their fists up high before slamming them down onto the swamp's surface.
The violent impact sends mud flying absolutely everywhere.
Land Shark Lackey: Ack! Waaaggghhh!
Huang: Aww. It's just plain old dirt down here.
Bai: Talk about ordinary. Boring.
Standing in the now-empty basin, the Cidala sisters exchange mud-covered smiles. Meanwhile, the land shark watching them from a distance shivers in terror.

To Kill a Divine Tiger: Scene 3

Huang and Bai complain to each other of their recent string of bad luck, still unaware that it's the fault of the land sharks' unsuccessful assassination attempts. Laolao mentions that this is strange, since the Supreme Tiger Warhammer, the weapon handed down from the first Divine Tiger, should be blessed with good luck. Meanwhile, the land sharks despair over their continued failures and decide upon a new approach: attacking the girls from within.



Land Shark Lackey: S-so it turns out the bottomless swamp actually has a bottom... I failed, Boss...
Land Shark: That's it. We'll use a bomb.
Land Shark Goon: Huh? But won't that draw too much attention?
Land Shark: I underestimated them. I thought their invincible Twin Tiger Feng Shui was all we had to watch out for.
Land Shark: But I was wrong. They're extraordinarily tough and strong. A bomb is our only option now.
Land Shark: This is how we'll do it: we'll pretend to be fans of theirs and lure them to a deserted hut.
Land Shark: Then... boom!
Land Shark Goon: (Is it just me, or are the boss's plans getting cruder? I'm not sure it's going to be so easy to lure them in...)
The plan goes off without a hitch, and the Cidala sisters show up at the deserted hut.
Huang: S-so this is where our fans are waiting, right?
Bai: I don't like this. This place is deserted. You know what they say: If it's too good to be true...
Outside, the land sharks listen in on the sisters using a hidden pipe.
Land Shark Goon: They really came! These two are idiots!
Land Shark Lackey: I can't believe they haven't even noticed we've been trying to off them!
Land Shark: Now's our chance! Blow them to smithereens!
Land Shark Goon: On it! Everything's in place—all that's left is to hit the button!
Land Shark Goon: And... go.
The hidden stockpile of gunpowder detonates, immediately rendering the tiny hut a gigantic pillar of fire.
Land Shark: Huang Cidala. Bai Cidala. Twelve years of age. Here their bodies lie.
When the pillar of flame subsides, the sound of coughing can be heard from within the burning debris.
???: Cough... Cough, cough.
???: Wh-what just happened?
???: Maybe a gas leak? Ugh, talk about a warm welcome...
???: Ah, Huang. Your skirt burned off—I can see your panties.
???: Nyaaahhh!
Land Shark Goon: Wh-whaaa... They survived...
Land Shark Lackey: I'm so freaked out right now...
Land Shark: This isn't over yet! We'll get them next time!
Laolao: Throughout the generations, the Divine Tiger has been blessed with good fortune. It's said this is because the Supreme Tiger Warhammers ward off evil, gawr.
Lyria: You mean the hammers that Huang and Bai wield? That's an amazing ability.
Vyrn: Go figure—didn't take 'em to be all that special.
Laolao: They were crafted from the sacred peach tree that birthed the twins, gawr.
Laolao: In that sense, they're like siblings, gawr.
Laolao: But you two must've angered them with all the misdeeds you get up to. That's why you've been having a streak of bad karma, gawr.
Huang: C'mon... But I've been so good...
Bai: I'm being falsely accused...
Vyrn: But it's true you two've had nothing but bad luck lately, yeah?
Bai: Wish I knew why...
Huang: We even had less meat than everyone at dinner last night.
Lyria: I'm not sure that counts...
Laolao: You don't get to complain after stealing mine to make up for it, gawr...
Bai: So? You enjoyed yourself plenty drinking with the other grown-ups.
Huang: Yeah! You even had snacks!
Laolao: Guh... Zip it, gawr! Who says adults don't get to have treats, gawr!
After hearing about the Cidala sisters' recent streak of bad luck, (Captain) and the others are worried.
Land Shark Goon: Heheheh... Strollin' through town without a care in the world...
Land Shark Lackey: They've gotta have nerves of steel to be wandering around outside after all that...
Atop a roof and with sniper rifles in hand, the land sharks carefully take aim at the back of the twins' heads.
Land Shark: This'll do it for sure! Put them six feet under, lads!
The bullets fly true, heading straight for the Cidala twins' heads...
Huang: Ack!
Huang: Owwwwww!
Lyria: Huh?
Bai: Owwwwww!
Lyria: Huh?
Lyria: Wh-what happened? Huang! Bai! Are you okay?
Huang: S-something... just hit my head...
Bai: Same here... I think it came from behind...
Lyria: Wah! Those bumps look really painful!
Laolao: What's up? Something else fall on you, gawr?
Vyrn: I don't see anything on the ground. What hit you?
Bai: I don't know. Something small... and really fast.
Huang: Is it bleeding, Lyria?
Lyria: No, you're okay. The bump's so big, though... There, there.
Bai: Me too, Lyria...
Lyria: There, there...
Land Shark Goon: "There, there," my ass! Who the heck shrugs off a bullet!
Land Shark Lackey: They're just brute forcing everything—it's so not fair!
It appears that the bullets bounced off the Cidala sisters' heads, vanishing into places unknown.
Land Shark: What's the point of them even having Twin Tiger Feng Shui!
Land Shark Goon: Boss! Get it together, Boss!
Land Shark: H-huh? You're right... Don't worry. We... We still have cards to play...
Land Shark Lackey: Are we using the secret weapon?
Land Shark: No, best not. We'd be putting ourselves in danger too.
Land Shark: If my intuition hasn't failed me, they're only tough on the outside—which means we just have to take them down from within.
Huang: Bai, check this out! I found it pasted to the window!
Bai: What's this?
Huang shows Bai the flyer, the contents of which read as follows.
[True Love Seminar!]

Can't find a partner? We've got you covered!

Limited time only! Free entry for Divine Generals!
Bai: This might be a once-in-a-lifetime event...
Huang: Plus, we even get in free...
Cidala Sisters: We have to go.
Flyer in hand, the Cidala sisters sneak out of the ship and head to the seminar venue.
Huang: Once this love lesson brings out my true charm, everyone will be head over heels for me! Nyahahahaha!
Bai: Nyeheheh. I'm gonna knock 'em so dead they'll be trying to arrest me for manslaughter.
Love Master: Thank you so much for coming! I'll be your lecturer in all things love today!
Love Master: Here, our goal is to throw open our hearts, learn our communication ABCs, and come out the other end as better people.
Huang: Question, sir!
Huang: Why can't I land a boyfriend!
Love Master: You can't just wait around for one to "land" in your lap—you've gotta get out there and seize one by the collar.
Huang: That makes so much sense.
Bai: May I, sir?
Bai: Everyone always looks at me with lewd eyes. Sometimes, I can hardly bear it...
Love Master: That's just another part of what makes you shine. Believe in yourself, and you'll stop caring what others think—use it as a weapon against them.
Bai: I never thought of it that way...
The love seminar strikes a chord with the Cidala sisters, who are deeply moved. Little do they know, the land sharks' hit is proceeding just as planned...

To Kill a Divine Tiger: Scene 4

Huang and Bai fall for the land sharks' ploy and attend a fake love seminar, resulting in them ingesting poison. (Captain) and the others, having caught wind of the assassination plot, come running to the rescue—but the twins are already on death's door. Suddenly, the two halves of the Supreme Tiger Warhammer combine and release a blinding flash of light, which fades to reveal that Huang and Bai have fused into a single girl.



Love Master: To make someone fall for you, you need to make them feel special, show some vulnerability, then work together on a problem.
Love Master: Once they believe they're the only one for you, show them a gap in your armor that makes them want to swoop in and help you patch it up.
Bai: S-sounds like a pretty advanced technique...
Huang: Yeah, I get it... Wait, can you go over it again?
Love Master: Let's give it a practice run.
Love Master: You can pick the place. Pretend you're alone together with my assistant here.
Huang: Then, uh... how about a meadow?
Love Assistant: Man, what a nice meadow. It's so big and... meadow-y.
Huang: Y-yeah, it's so meadow-y!
Love Master: Special, make him feel special. Try, "I wanted to come here with you."
Huang: I-I wanted to come here! With you, that is!
Love Assistant: Huh? Y-yeah... I-I mean, I'm always happy to visit a meadow with you.
Huang: Um, next is, um...
Love Master: Vulnerability. Show him a way into your heart, and the rest will happen by itself.
Huang: You know, I'm getting kind of hungry...
Love Assistant: We can go find a place to ea—
Huang: Oh! Look, a water buffalo!
Love Assistant: Huh?
Water Buffalo?: ...
Huang: Oh, I'm already drooling! It hasn't even noticed us yet!
Love Master: R-remember to work together...
Huang: I'll go 'round front and smack it between the eyes, so you nail it from behind! ♪
Love Master: Stop, stop! That's enough!
Love Master: ...
You can't go hunting in the middle of a date.
Huang: I can't?
Bai: Tsk, tsk. Typical Huang. Take a seat—I'll show you how it's done.
Love Wingman: Wow! Meadow as far as the eye can see!
Bai: Wrong. Who said this was a meadow? I call the shots here.
Love Wingman: Oh. Sorry...
Bai: Um... What was first, again?
Love Master: Make him feel special.
Bai: I-I only came here because it's you. Don't go thinking I'm easy, okay?
Love Master: Aaand stop right there!
Love Master: You're skipping way too far ahead! We're practicing testing the waters, not deep-sea diving!
Bai: Huh? But I could've sworn...
Huang: Nyahahahaha! I'm still waiting to see "how it's done," Bai!
Bai: Oh, stuff it...
Love Assistant: Boss, isn't it about time?
Love Master: R-right. I almost forgot.
Love Wingman: (Something tells me this won't end well.)
Huang: (Is it just me, or do they look familiar?)
Bai: (I could swear I recognize them, but I can't remember where from. Maybe it's just my imagination...)
Love Master: Let's move on to etiquette. Pretend you're on a date at a cafe.
Love Master: Since this is a lesson, it'll be more efficient if you practice together.
Doing as they're instructed, the Cidala sisters sit down at the "cafe" table.
Love Assistant: Hey, waiter! Two glasses of juice for these lovely ladies!
Love Wingman: Here you are. Enjoy.
Love Master: Now, make sure you drink it through the straw.
Love Master: Don't forget to give him the upturned eyes while you're sipping. Show him how cute you can be.
Bai: What a devious technique... I'll have to add it to my repertoire...
Huang: Down the hatch!
Just the Cidala sisters are slurping down their juice...
Vyrn's Voice: Is this the place?
Laolao's Voice: I think so, gawr!
Lyria: Huang! Bai! Are you okay?
Huang: Huh? Lao! (Captain)!
Love Master: (Not good...)
Vyrn: You're safe... We've been looking all over for you.
Bai: Wh-what's wrong?
Laolao: A letter came from the Tiger Temple that said your lives are in danger, gawr.
Laolao: Apparently, there are some real rough types set on buying up the temple's land—even if it means killing you to get it, gawr.
Laolao: That aside, what's the occasion? Who are these guys, gawr?
Bai: Caught in the middle of a love seminar... This is definitely not the good kind of punishment...
Huang: Nyaaagh! I'll never live this down!
Laolao: Hmm? What's this flyer, gawr?
Laolao: "True Love Seminar.

Can't find a partner, we've got you covered...

Limited time only, free entry for... Divine Generals"?
Vyrn: T-talk about shady. Don't tell me you actually fell for this thing?
Huang: Huh? Shady?
Laolao: With a capital "s," gawr! What, the "free entry for Divine Generals" part didn't tip you off, gawr?
Lyria: What matters is that they're okay, right?
Vyrn: Hey, wait. Does that mean these guys are...
Love Master: Gulp...
Laolao: Sounds like we need to have a little talk, gawr.
Right as (Captain) steps forward to apprehend the culprits...
Huang: Urg...
Laolao: What's the matter, gawr?
Bai: Ugh...
Lyria: You too, Bai?
Groaning, the Cidala sisters begin to grow pale and clammy, and their pupils begin to dilate.
Cidala: Gack!
Lyria: Ahh!
Love Master: Yes! I knew the poison would work!
Laolao: Huang! Bai!
Huang: U-ugh...
Bai: Ngh...
Huang and Bai stagger in place, coughing up blood everywhere. Staying upright is the most they can manage.
Vyrn: They fed them poison? Quick, we've gotta find the antidote!
Laolao: J-just hold on, gawr! I'll figure something out, gawr! I'll... hmm?
Laolao: The Supreme Tiger Warhammers are shaking, gawr...
The warhammers shake more and more violently—before suddenly flying toward each other.
The Cidala sisters are dragged along by their weapons, accelerating to a rapid speed.
Vyrn: They're gonna crash!
The warhammers collide, creating a violent burst of light that forces everyone to close their eyes.
Laolao: Ugh! S-so bright, gawr! Huang! Bai!
Lyria: Wh-what is that?
The mysterious light fades to reveal a single silhouette.
Unfamiliar Girl: ...
Vyrn: Wh-who's that? And where did Huang and Bai go?
Laolao: That's the Supreme Tiger Warhammer... But why does she have it, gawr?
Lyria: Um, doesn't she... look kind of like...
Love Master: Where'd this brat come from?
Unfamiliar Girl: ...?
The girl looks just as curious as (Captain) and the others as she examines her own body.
Laolao: D-don't tell me they...
The Supreme Tiger Warhammer, now a single entity. Familiar looking clothes and features. And an all too recognizable aura...
Unfamiliar Girl: We...
Everyone: Fused together!

A "Special" Peach-Colored Date

After the Supreme Tiger Warhammer fuses Huang and Bai together, the new girl names herself as Super Cidala. The land sharks flee the scene, but instead of chasing them, Super Cidala is satisfied with whiffing a few punches and kicks in their direction. Everyone returns to the ship, where (Captain) and the others rack their brains for a way to return Super Cidala to her old selves. She seems to have no such qualms about her situation, and eagerly invites (Captain) out on a date.



After being tricked into attending a love seminar free for Divine Generals, the Cidala Sisters unwittingly ingested the land shark's poison.
(Captain) and the others came running to their rescue, but were too late. Yet, just as the sisters were on the brink of death, they inexplicably merged.
Vyrn: Hey, hey, hey... Did they for real just fuse? Is that a Divine Tiger thing?
Laolao: ...
Lyria: I-I don't believe it... How is this...
  1. Huang?
  2. Bai?

Choose: Huang?
Unfamiliar Girl: Huh? Yeah, (Captain)?
Vyrn: Oh, so it's Huang.
Unfamiliar Girl: No, I'm Bai.

Choose: Bai?
Unfamiliar Girl: Hmm? Yes, (Captain)?
Vyrn: Oh, so it's Bai.
Unfamiliar Girl: No, I'm Huang.
Continue 1
Vyrn: Wha?
Vyrn: You've gotta be kiddin' me. Which one is she? Wait, or is she both?
Laolao: ...
Unfamiliar Girl: I have no idea what's happening, but there's so much power inside of me!
Unfamiliar Girl: I feel like I could do anything!
Unfamiliar Girl: What's going on, Lao?
Laolao: How should I know, gawr? This is scary, gawr...
Unfamiliar Girl: You don't even know?
Vyrn: Then why'd you get all quiet? You totally looked like you knew something!
Laolao: It's not my fault you took it that way! Show me a parent who wouldn't be shocked speechless by their daughters fusing together!
Laolao: Still, the Supreme Tiger Warhammer is back in one piece. It must be the cause of this, gawr...
Unfamiliar Girl: The Supreme Tiger Warhammer?
What was once two halves of a whole has fused back into a single weapon.
Unfamiliar Girl: Hmm... Yeah, I dig it! ★
Lyria: U-um, we should do something about the poison before it gets any worse!
Unfamiliar Girl: Don't even sweat it, I'm tippy-top! ☆ Plus...
Unfamiliar Girl: Nyaaaah! I'm totes psyched right now! Look out world, here I come! ★
Laolao: The fusion probably removed impurities like the poison, gawr...
Unfamiliar Girl: I'm not Huang or Bai anymore! ☆ I'm the best of both—a brand new me...
Super Cidala: Super Cidala!
Lyria: Super Cidala?
Land Shark: Enough with the freak show! It's about time you died already! At this distance, I should be able to...
Quick as a flash, the land shark whips out a gun, aims it at Super Cidala's head, and pulls the trigger.
Vyrn: Wah!
Super Cidala: ...
The bullet bounces off, but it leaves behind a very familiar sense of pain...
Super Cidala: H-hold on, I know this feeling! It's from that time I was walking through town!
Huang: Owwwwww!
Bai: Owwwwww!
Super Cidala: Which means... No... This was a trap!
Super Cidala: This love seminar was fake all along!
Land Shark Goon: Took you long enough!
Land Shark: Kuh! Time to scram!
Land Shark Goon: Do us a favor and die already, damn it!
Land Shark Lackey: ...
Yeah, moron!
Vyrn: Hey, hold it!
Super Cidala: Nah, let 'em go! ★ It's totally oh-to-the-kay! ♪
Vyrn: How is it okay... Wait, what are you doing?
Super Cidala: Haaaaaah...
Super Cidala slowly pulls her right fist back at waist height, as though gathering her strength, before unleashing a punch faster than the eye can follow.
Super Cidala: Achaw!
Super Cidala: Wachaaa!
Super Cidala: Hiiiyah!
The expert punches and kicks swipe through the air like claws, but the land sharks are already far in the distance.
Super Cidala: And that's a wrap! ☆
Vyrn: H-huh? Did you do something? But they already got away...
Super Cidala: Nyaha! It's called a payoff 'cause you gotta wait for it! ★
Although the land sharks are no longer in sight, Super Cidala doesn't seem to mind.
Super Cidala: Home time, gang! ☆
Laolao: Hmm... Well, I guess we've got a bigger issue on our hands right now anyway, gawr...
Lyria: Y-yeah. Let's head back to the ship and regain our bearings...
Vyrn: Uh... So we're just gonna take her with us like this?
Laolao: Huang and Bai were already unique among the generations of Divine Tigers, since they were twins, gawr...
Laolao: But I never would've guessed...
Super Cidala: Hey! Aren't I, like, way cute now?
Super Cidala is examining her own appearance for the first time using a hand mirror, tilting it at every angle. Her eyes sparkle with curiosity.
Lyria: Um, yes... You're very cute.
Super Cidala: You think so too? Yay! ☆
Super Cidala: By the way, Lyria, can you call me Cidala? Pretty please? ★
Lyria: C-Cidala! Got it!
Vyrn: Sure, we're back on the ship now, but we're still no closer to figuring out how to turn her back.
Laolao: This is just a guess, but perhaps the sacred tree sensed the twins were in danger and fused them to protect them, gawr...
Laolao: Or maybe...
Laolao: This was always how this generation's Cidala was supposed to be, gawr...
Laolao: It could be that they were born as twins by mistake—a mistake that the Supreme Tiger Warhammer has now fixed, gawr.
Vyrn: Are you saying they're gonna stay like this?
Lyria: Does that mean we won't get to see Huang and Bai anymore?
Laolao: Gawr...
Vyrn: We haven't exhausted our options yet. Who knows—maybe waiting until midnight will do the trick.
Super Cidala: Whoa, what's with the heavy vibes? If it's Huang and Bai you want, they're mixed up right here! ☆
Vyrn: People aren't something you're supposed to mix.
Laolao: Still, there's no denying she's got aspects of them both, gawr...
Super Cidala: Hey, (Captain)! Let's go on a date tomorrow! ☆
Laolao: What!
Super Cidala: Since I'm new, I gotta intro myself to the captain, yeah?
Laolao: Don't be ridiculous, gawr!
Laolao: You almost died, and those ruffians saw you fuse! They're still out there, just waiting to get you, gawr!
Super Cidala: So?
Laolao: Leaving the ship is out of the question, gawr! Stay here and behave yourself, gawr!
Super Cidala: C'mon, it'll be fine! ☆ No problem at all! ♪
Super Cidala: I mean, like, no problem is yes problem, you feel? That's just the vibe, for real! ★
Laolao: I have no idea what you're saying, gawr.
Super Cidala: Nyaha! That makes the two of us! ☆

A "Special" Peach-Colored Date: Scene 2

The next day, (Captain) goes out on a date with Super Cidala, having been asked by Laolao, Vyrn, and Lyria to find a way to get Huang and Bai back. However, Super Cidala sees through the Captain's intentions and voices her disappointment. She says that the twins Huang and Bai were never able to have something special to call their own, but now that she's one person, she can have everything for herself.



Despite the season, the next day proves to be surprisingly warm.
Super Cidala: Morning, (Captain)! Talk about date weather, am I right? ☆
  1. Good morning!
  2. You're still not back...

Choose: Good morning!
Super Cidala: Nyaha! Let's have some fun today, yeah? ★

Choose: You're still not back...
Super Cidala: What's up? Did you think I'd split apart after a night's sleep?
Super Cidala: Nyahahahaha! As if, silly! ★
Continue 1
Earlier, before (Captain) departed the Grandcypher...
Vyrn: We can't just leave Cidala like this, right?
Lyria: R-right. Still, I wonder if Huang and Bai don't want to turn back...
Vyrn: I don't even want to think about that. I can feel my head hurting already...
Laolao: Everyone's gotten used to the Divine Tiger being twins, gawr...
Laolao: If a stranger shows up in their place, it'll turn everything upside down, gawr...
Vyrn: You reckon there's a gap between them we could wrench open or something?
Lyria: She's not a clam...
Laolao: (Captain), please look for a way to return Huang and Bai during your date, gawr.
Laolao: Cidala's mood is heightened because of the fusion, so you'll have to get her to settle down first, gawr.
Laolao: If we leave her as is, it'll mean no end of trouble, gawr.
Laolao: (Captain), the Cidala breakup plan rests on your shoulders, gawr.
At Laolao's request, (Captain) secretly plans to look for a way to return Cidala to normal during their date.
Super Cidala: All right, it's go time! ☆
Super Cidala: Look, a lake! ★ Wanna share a rowboat? That's so totally a date thing.
Unfortunately for (Captain) and Cidala, there's a long line waiting for the rowboats.
Super Cidala: Mmm, it shouldn't take too long. ☆ Not that I'm sure, but... Eh, let's just line up!
As (Captain) and Cidala join the end of the line, the man in front of them begins patting at his waist.
Troubled Tourist: Please, take my spot, young lady.
Super Cidala: Huh? Are you sure?
Troubled Tourist: Yes, I've just noticed I've misplaced my wallet. I need to go look for it.
Super Cidala: Yikes! Better be quick, then. ☆
Troubled Tourist: Yes... I'm rather worried. I supposed I might've left it in the restaurant, or the inn. Or maybe...
Suddenly, Cidala holds her arm out over the man's head.
Super Cidala: Don't sweat it! ★ Your wallet will be back to you in no time—just keep an eye out.
Troubled Tourist: Is that some kind of good luck charm?
Super Cidala: Something like that! ☆
Troubled Tourist: Then thank you very much. I'd better go. You two enjoy your date, now.
One after another, the people ahead of (Captain) and Cidala in the line begin to leave for one reason or another. Before long, there's no one left.
Super Cidala: Nyaha! Already at the front! ★
A rowboat frees up in no time, and soon enough, (Captain) and Cidala are sailing smoothly across the lake's surface.
Super Cidala: Must be our lucky day! ☆
  1. That seemed odd.
  2. Did you do that?

Choose: That seemed odd.
Super Cidala: What, the thing with the line? Don't worry about it! ★
Super Cidala: Let's just enjoy our date!

Choose: Did you do that?
Super Cidala: Dunno! ★
Super Cidala: Everyone was happy to let us through, so it was good enough for me!
Continue 2
Super Cidala: Nyaha. The air here is great. ♪ I could get used to laidback dates like this. ☆
While rowing the boat, (Captain) ponders the Cidala breakup plan.
Super Cidala: ...
You want to turn me back, don't you?
Super Cidala: Nyaha! C'mon, it's written all over your face. ★
Super Cidala: Lao and Vyrn are in on it too, aren't they?
Super Cidala: Sigh... Talk about desperate. Hilarious.
Super Cidala: All I wanted was to spend some time alone with my sweetheart...
  1. Why a sweetheart?
  2. Why alone?

Choose: Why a sweetheart?
Choose: Why alone?
Super Cidala: Hmm... 'Cause it's special? ☆
Super Cidala: I'm kinda thirsty. Wanna get a drink somewhere?
After disembarking the rowboat, the pair discover a nearby cafe. Unfortunately, it's full.
Super Cidala: This'll be easy-peasy.
As Cidala approaches, a spot opens up that's under just the right amount of sun, and the pair are guided in without having to wait.
Super Cidala: When I said "special" earlier, I meant something that's mine and mine alone.
Super Cidala: It's different from what I learned in the love seminar about feeling special, 'cause this one's the real deal. ☆
Super Cidala: Like, you know how twins are, right? They share pretty much everything.
Super Cidala: What they're given, and what they find. The things they stumble across, and the things they lose. It's aaall the same.
Super Cidala: Even this Supreme Tiger Warhammer and being a Divine General. Everything's shared.
  1. Did you want to be an only child?
  2. Did you not like being twins?

Choose: Did you want to be an only child?
Super Cidala: Part of me, sure. I mean, everyone else is doing just fine on their own, right? ☆
Super Cidala: But another part of me was fine with being twins too. Having tried it, it's not so bad. ★

Choose: Did you not like being twins?
Super Cidala: I wouldn't go that far. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't always have something to complain about.
Super Cidala: Still, there are some things you can only enjoy as twins.
Continue 3
Super Cidala: Either way, I feel on top of the world now that I've fused! ☆ Just look at this picture perfect figure!
Super Cidala: And being alone means I get to have everything to myself! ★
Super Cidala: I've always wanted something to call my own! That's what I mean by "special"! ☆
Super Cidala: You know, now that I think about it, a sweetheart would be extra special, wouldn't it?
Super Cidala: Nyaha! I mean, I have you all to myself right now, (Captain)! ☆
Cidala points at (Captain) and winks. Then, she shrugs her shoulders.
Super Cidala: Still, Lao and the others all want me to turn back. Even though I'm already a new me...
Super Cidala: You know, I haven't asked you yet, have I? What do you think of the new me, (Captain)?
  1. You should go back to your old selves.
  2. You should stay as you are.

Choose: You should go back to your old selves.
Super Cidala: Yeah, I figured you'd say that. Guess you like me when I'm smaller, huh?
Super Cidala: That's kind of a shock... Not a fan of this sublime new body?

Choose: You should stay as you are.
Super Cidala: I knew you'd get it! ☆
Super Cidala: Don't tell me—has this sublime new body of mine caught your eye?
Continue 4
Super Cidala: Well... Okay, so maybe I'm pushing it a little with that description...
Cafe Customers: Whisper, whisper...
Gradually, Cidala notices the other customers' eyes on her and (Captain).
Super Cidala: Nyaha! Everyone's staring at us! ★ You reckon they think we make a good couple?
(Captain): ...!
(Captain) hurriedly stands and calls for the bill.
Super Cidala: Aww! You don't have to be so embarrassed about it!

A "Special" Peach-Colored Date: Scene 3

While Super Cidala is enjoying her date with the Captain, the land sharks return to make another attempt on her life. Laolao and the others come running when they hear the ruckus, only to find that the land sharks have been foiled by a series of unfortunate events. Super Cidala reveals that she has gained the power to manipulate qi flow, which she used the other day to curse the land sharks with bad luck. She names the new power Lone Tiger Kung Fu and gives the land sharks a proper beatdown.



Vyrn: Sigh... I wonder how (Captain)'s doing...
Laolao: We don't know if reverting her is even possible, gawr.
Laolao: We might've asked too much of (Captain), gawr...
Vyrn: Yeah, but it'll be bad if she's stuck like this... right?
Laolao: Gawr...
Lyria: We have to do it, if we want to see Huang and Bai again...
Lyria: Oh, but Cidala's really nice too, in her own way...
Vyrn: Yeah, she's not a bad person. It's just...
As Vyrn and Lyria brood over the problem, Laolao turns his gaze to the window.
Laolao: It sure is hot today, gawr...
Super Cidala: All right! Where to next?
After departing the cafe, Cidala grabs (Captain) by the arm and ventures further into town.
Unbeknownst to the pair, a trio of observers watch them from a distance...
Land Shark: She really did fuse... So we weren't crazy after all.
Land Shark Lackey: She's almost... No, she is just a genuine monstrosity at this point, right? Offing her'd basically be a public service.
Land Shark Goon: You said it! Let's see how she likes this!
Nestling on the man's shoulder is a massive recoilless rocket launcher.
Land Shark: The poison was effective, but it ultimately failed. Still, we didn't come away empty handed.
Land Shark: We proved that those girls aren't invincible!
Land Shark: The launcher might not score a kill, but it'll at least create an opening.
Land Shark Lackey: And if she shrugs off the blast, I just have to get close and jab her with the poison.
Land Shark Goon: Getting her to drink it works too! You'd better not fail!
Land Shark Lackey: Heheh, as if. No one could pay attention to their surroundings after taking a rocket to the face!
Land Shark Lackey: She's got company today too, luckily. It'll be easy to catch her off guard while she's staring at the pieces that are left of her friend!
Super Cidala:
Land Shark: Whoa, hold it. They're headed down that street. Better for us if we wait for them to be alone.
Super Cidala: (Captain)! There's a really fun store over that way! ♪
Land Shark: Now! Fire!
Land Shark Goon: Eat this!
The sound of the trigger being pulled is quiet, but all three land sharks unmistakably hear it.
Yet, despite the quick burst of flame, the rocket does not budge from the barrel.
In other words...
Land Shark Lackey: I-it misfi—
Super Cidala: Hmm? What was that sound?
Hearing the explosion behind them, (Captain) stops Cidala and turns a wary eye to their surroundings.
Super Cidala: Oh, don't tell me... ☆
Land Shark: Guh... I-impossible... How could it misfire?
Super Cidala: Knock, knock! What's going on here?
Land Shark Lackey: Eek!
Super Cidala: I'm glad you're all alive—that explosion sounded nasty. ★ And hey, the charred look suits you!
Land Shark Goon: Run your mouth at us, will you?
The man pulls a gun from his breast pocket and aims it straight at Cidala, but...
Troubled Tourist: There you are, young lady! I knew you'd be here!
Land Shark Goon: Huh?
The gun skitters across the ground, coming to a rest at (Captain)'s feet.
Troubled Tourist: I found my wallet right away, just like you said I would! Wasn't even anything missing!
Super Cidala: Hey, good for you! ☆
Troubled Tourist: Couldn't shake the feeling I owed it to your good luck charm, so I just wanted to thank you! You have a nice day, now!
Vyrn: Th-there they are! Good thing they're so easy to sniff out!
Lyria: Are you two okay?
Laolao: I knew these ruffians would turn up again. Why are they all singed though, gawr?
Land Shark: We're surrounded... What is this? It's like luck itself is on her si—
Super Cidala: Nyahahaha! Finally realized, did you?
Super Cidala: You have all the negative qi I stuck to you yesterday to thank for that! ☆
Land Shark: Negative qi? Don't tell me you activated your Twin Tiger Feng Shui!
Vyrn: Whoa, how do these jerks even know about that!
Laolao: I don't think it's much of a secret, given how much Huang and Bai like to brag to everyone they meet, gawr.
Vyrn: Oh, good point...
Super Cidala: It's not Tiger Feng Shui! ★ It's protective feng shui that can read the flow of qi and find safe areas!
Super Cidala: But now that I'm the new me, I don't have to just read it—I can control it! ☆
Laolao: Gawr!
Super Cidala: With all the negative qi clinging to you lot, there's no way you could've assassinated us! ★
Super Cidala: Plus, we've been wreathed in positive qi all day! Isn't that right, (Captain)?
(Captain) recalls the chain of lucky events that occurred during the date.
Super Cidala: Long story short, I can make people lucky or unlucky at will! ☆
Super Cidala: And with luck on our side, anything you try against us just won't work! ★
Land Shark: What... did you say?
Super Cidala: This is the new me's new power:
Super Cidala: Lone Tiger Kung Fu!
Lyria: Lone Tiger Kung Fu?
Super Cidala: It's a fearsome, fearless, and fear-reaky technique that sends your luck to rock bottom if you attack me! ☆
Super Cidala: And unlike Twin Tiger Feng Shui, moving around doesn't affect my luck! ★ It's got no openings to exploit!
Land Shark Lackey: You're just messing with us! As if we'd be scared of some made-up nonsense!
Land Shark Goon: Let's see if that luck of yours can stop this!
The evildoers charge at Cidala, but she's already ready to meet them.
Super Cidala: Atatatatata! Hwachaaaaaa!
Land Shark: Guahhh!
Cidala's flurry of fists into lightning-fast kick combo sends the evildoers flying.
Super Cidala: Nyaha! Your kung fu needs work, young grasshoppers!

A "Special" Peach-Colored Date: Scene 4

When Super Cidala insists that she wants to stay fused, Laolao breaks the bad news: her body odor's peach scent has become overpowering. Knowing the twins considered their smell embarrassing, (Captain) and the others had been trying to revert Super Cidala before she realized. Mortified, Super Cidala turns back into Huang and Bai, who vent their frustrations on the land sharks' trump card—a giant monster—dealing with it easily and returning to life as normal. For a certain sense of the word.



Vyrn: Whoa... My eyes couldn't even keep up...
Lyria: Even her fighting style's changed!
Laolao: Manipulating qi to affect the luck of others... What a self-centered technique, gawr...
Super Cidala: Nyahahaha! Impressed? You'll have to keep me around now! ★
Super Cidala: I bet all thoughts of splitting me into two have flown from your mind!
Laolao: ...
Super Cidala: Still, you guys got here fast. Did you hear the explosion? Even if you did, this place isn't easy to find.
Lyria: Ah, yes... Um, we kind of just...
Laolao: We followed your smell, gawr.
Super Cidala: Huh?
Vyrn: H-hey, are you really gonna tell her?
Laolao: We have to, at this point. There's no other choice, gawr.
Super Cidala: My... smell?
Laolao: After we heard the explosion, we followed your smell and the reports of the people who saw you to get here, gawr.
Laolao: All we had to do was ask if they'd seen a girl with a strong smell on a date, gawr.
Super Cidala: Wh-what are you talking about? Lyria? Vyrn?
Vyrn & Lyria: ...
Super Cidala: C-c-come on, don't go quiet on me. What smell...
Laolao: Your peach body odor, gawr!
Super Cidala: Gah!
Laolao: It's only been getting stronger since you fused, and this warm weather's only making it worse, gawr!
Laolao: It wasn't that bad before you left, but now that you're all sweaty, it's overpowering, gawr!
Vyrn: Yeah, enough to give me a headache. To be frank, you reek of peaches.
Super Cidala: Reek!
Lyria: U-um, please don't get the wrong idea! It's a really nice smell! It's not unpleasant at all!
Vyrn: Sure, not in that sense...
Vyrn: But the sweetness keeps clogging up my mouth and making me drool.
Vyrn: It's enough to make me wanna eat peaches tonight instead of apples.
Lyria: Oh, me too! Let's buy some on the way back. You should come with us, Cidala!
Super Cidala: Ah... Ahhh...
Cafe Customers: Whisper, whisper...
(Captain): ...!
Troubled Tourist: There you are, Young Lady! I knew you'd be here!
Vyrn: Th-there they are! Good thing they're so easy to sniff out!
Memories come rushing into Cidala's mind of events she now realizes were because of her body odor.
Super Cidala: Th-then... the reason you want me to turn back into my old selves...
Vyrn: Your smell's always been a sore spot for you, hasn't it? We were hoping you'd turn back before you noticed.
Laolao: If you stayed like this, we'd have to upgrade the entire ship's ventilation system. We can't make the others do all that work, gawr.
Lyria: I just want to see Huang and Bai again!
Super Cidala: Then, (Captain)... Does that mean you've been smelling me all day?
Laolao: It'd be more accurate to say you were forcing everyone to smell you, with how much you were giving off, gawr.
Super Cidala: Nyaaaaaagh!
Screaming in despair, Cidala grabs her Supreme Tiger Warhammer and begins wrenching it apart with all of her might.
Super Cidala: Nyagh!
Vyrn: Wagh!
The warhammer splits in half, and...
Lyria: S-so bright!
Once again, there's a burst of light.
As it fades, standing there are two familiar silhouettes.
Huang: ...
Bai: ...
Vyrn: Th-they're back.
Laolao: Sigh... Had enough, gawr?
Huang: Um, yeah. I really have... Yeah...
Bai: You have my sincerest apologies for the trouble I've caused...
Vyrn: All of a sudden, they're as docile as kittens.
Laolao: That's puberty for you. Maybe we should've just told them from the start, gawr.
Bai: The weight of this regret has marked my soul...
Land Shark: Guh... Not yet! I still have my secret weapon!
Laolao: He's still conscious? Talk about stubborn, gawr!
The land shark pulls a small flute out of his chest pocket and summons up the last of his strength to blow into it, hard.
Lyria: S-something's coming!
Giant Monster: Grrraaah!
Laolao: Where was he hiding that thing, gawr!
Cidala Sisters: ...
Vyrn: H-hey! Get back! You're the ones it's after!
Huang: I've never been more embarrassed in my life...
Bai: The shame will haunt my nightmares...
Cidala Sisters: Tiger tape!
Giant Monster: Grah?
The sisters' yellow and black tape wind around the monster, binding its movements.
Laolao: Tiger tape's supposed to ward off negative qi, not tie up monsters, gawr!
Huang: It's all your faaauuult!
Bai: Pay for your sins!
Land Shark: I-I don't think using us to vent your anger is very fair...
Huang: C'mon, Bai!
Bai: Let's do it, Huang!
The Cidala sisters wind their Supreme Tiger Warhammers all the way back.
Cidala Sisters: Raaarghhh!
Cidala Sisters: Tiger!
Giant Monster: Graaahhh!
The monster is slammed high into the sky, only to come crashing back down atop the land sharks.
Land Shark: Gueh...
Vyrn: Whoa... You pancake'd 'em...
Lyria: I-incredible! That was amazing!
Laolao: Amazing or not, if they hadn't been playing around, we'd have caught these ruffians earlier, gawr.
Laolao: Do you two still feel like fusing, gawr?
Cidala Sisters: No, we're good...
Thus, Huang and Bai returned to their separate selves.
With everything back to normal, Cidala and (Captain)'s date ends on a—more or less—peaceful note.
Huang: Bai! Today's the day I finally beat the truth into you: the older sister stands on top!
Bai: Foolish Huang. Your attacks are worthless before my defense.
Huang: Take that!
Bai: Think again!
Laolao: Ugh, keep it down, gawr. I think I preferred when there was one of you, gawr...
Vyrn: Sure is noisy in here...
Bai: Oh, (Captain).
Huang: (Captain)!
Huang and Bai immediately stop their fight and latch on to (Captain).
Lyria: Ahahaha... Lively as usual, I see...
Huang: (Captain)! You had fun on our date yesterday, right? Even though it got cut short?
Bai: Think of how far we could've gone if it hadn't gotten cut short...
Huang: Some of it might've been embarrassing, but I've never spent so long with you before.
Vyrn: So they both have all their memories of yesterday? How's that work?
Laolao: Who knows? I don't understand any of it, gawr.
Vyrn: I guess all we got out of this was another source of headaches.
Bai: Nyehehehe. The date's our special secret now, isn't it, (Captain)?
Huang: Nnnyas if! It's our special secret!
Bai: Sheesh. In the end, I'm just sharing with Huang again, huh?
Huang: What? If anything, I'm sharing it with you.
  1. It belongs to the three of us.

Choose: It belongs to the three of us.
Huang: Oh?
Bai: Hehe. You might be right.
Huang: Ah, well. Guess that's how it is, then.
Vyrn: What are they talking about?
Lyria: Beats me...
Laolao: Just more nonsense, I bet, gawr.
Huang: Anyway, (Captain)!
Bai: You're free again today, right?
Cidala Sisters: What are we gonna play together?
(Captain) staggers back, overwhelmed by Huang and Bai's enthusiasm.
Today, yet again, (Captain) and the crew resign themselves to dealing with the twins' misadventures, all the while their noses are tickled by the faint scent of peach.

Wild Rides, Wild Imaginations

Catura visits the Tiger Temple to pass on her duties to Huang and Bai, the next year spirits. The Cidala sisters eagerly ask Catura about the Divine Generals Assembly, imagining how much fun it must have been. Determined to join the next assembly, the Cidala sisters and Catura eventually settle down and begin the transferring of responsibilities.



On a sunny day just before the end of the year, a rumbling sound echoes down the road of a small village.
The rumble goes past farmers and fields until it reaches the Tiger Temple, where the Divine Tigers of the Twelve Divine Generals reside.
Catura: Here we are...
Catura: Nice work, Milky... Moomoo... Take a good rest, okay?
The Divine Ox and guardian of the north-northeast, Catura, gets off her beloved motorcycle.
Crying Voice: Grr! Grrrr!
Catura: Hm? What... is that?
Hearing a strange cry, Catura looks around the temple grounds in search of the sound's source.
Bai: ...
Catura: Oh... There you are! Hello, Baaai!
Bai: ...
Catura: Hm, maybe she didn't hear me... I should get closer...
Catura slowly makes her way toward one of the Divine Tigers, Bai, who is standing in the distance, immersed in a book.
Catura: She's reading something... Wow, it has so many words. I only read... illustrated storybooks...
Bai: Huff, huff... Huff, huff!
Bai breathes heavily through her nose as she continues reading, unaware of the arrival of a guest. Catura takes a peek at the book's cover.
On the cover is a realistic illustration of a woman, and the title written in purple font—
"The New Horizons of a Passionate Skyfarer."
Huang: Grrr!
Catura: Oh, there's that voice again... Is that a voice?
Bai: Huff, huff... Huff, huff!
With Bai still too absorbed in her reading to notice anything, Catura decides to poke the Divine Tiger in the armpit to get her attention.
Catura: Poke.
Bai: Grr!
Catura: Poke.
Bai: Grr!
Bai: W-wow! This story is so exciting that my body's reacting from just words on a page... That's the Passionate Skyfarer series for you.
Catura: Bai...
Bai: Huh? Oh, Catura. You're here.
Catura: Moohoohoo! It's been a while, Bai...
Bai: It has! Oh yeah, I guess it's almost time for you to pass us the year spirit duties, huh?
Catura: What were you reading just now? Can I have a look?
Bai: Oh, this? Um, it's got some pretty difficult content and doesn't have any pictures, so...
Catura: Oh, I see... That sounds hard.
As Bai hugs her book to her chest, a puffy-eyed Huang approaches them with Laolao closely behind her.
Huang: Oh, Catura... Hic... It's been a while... Hic...
Catura: Huh? Huang... What's wrong?
Catura: Your eyes are red... Are you okay?
Laolao: Don't worry about her, gawr. Some time has passed since we last met, Divine Ox. Is your mother in good health?
Catura: Oh, Laolao! Long time no see... Mama is also doing good!
Catura: But... I still want to know... what happened with Huang.
Laolao: Nothing to fret about, gawr.
Laolao: She didn't realize the back of her skirt was rolled up while walking outside, and only found out when she got back that everyone could see her panties, gawr.
Catura: O-oh no!
Laolao: When she finally realized, she burst into tears and has been wailing since. She should really have double-checked before going out in new clothes, gawr.
Catura: So that cry I heard earlier... was Huang.
Huang: Sigh... Sniff... Why didn't anyone tell me...
Bai: Well, I mean, I wouldn't go up and talk to some weirdo who's parading their panties around town either.
Laolao: This wasn't the first time so everyone's probably just used to it by now, gawr.
Huang: Whaaat, no way...
Laolao: Now, since the Divine Ox is here, gawr... Let us begin the handing over of duties.
However, what the Cidala sisters want to hear most from Catura is not about the passing of responsibilities, but something else.
Cidala Sisters: Tell us about the Divine Generals Assembly!
Laolao: Gawr?
Catura: The Divine Generals Assembly? Hm, I thought... I sent you a report about that...
Bai: Yeah, we got it.
Huang: And we read it. But there was one thing...
At the end of the report was a note that piqued the interest of the Divine Tigers.
"All of us danced the hula. End of report."
Huang: What's the "hula"? Why were you dancing at an assembly? I want to know more about that!
Bai: We've been dying to know since. In fact, we're not interested in anything but the Alohas Super Resort right now.
Laolao: What are you saying, gawr! Hurry up and get to discussing your new responsibilities!
Huang: Oh, be quiet, Lao! We need to hear everything about Alohas! Otherwise we won't be able to get anything done!
Laolao: This is an utter embarrassment, gawr...
Catura: Alohas... It was so fun and wonderful! It's hard to explain...
Catura: Hmm... First, Vajra, Vikala, and Mahira went to the luau...
Thinking back to her memories at the resort, Catura describes her experiences there bit by bit.
She tells the three about Vajra, Vikala, and Mahira dancing and shaking their hips on stage, together with bare-chested men who held blades in their hands.
Bai: Oh my! That almost sounds scandalous!
Huang: I'm sure it wasn't that scandalous! They're all Divine Generals, after all!
Catura: It was... fun!
Bai: Was it? What were the rest of you doing while those three were dancing?
Catura: Hmm... We had some delicious food while watching them...
Bai: That sounds like a whole lot of ruckus to me...
Huang: I think I'd be way too preoccupied to eat...
Catura: Let's see, what else was there...
Catura describes the open air bath the seven Divine Generals soaked in together.
Bai: Seven lovely girls together... spending some intimate time together... Just imagine all the possibilities!
Huang: What possibilities are you imagining exactly?
Catura: Let me think...
Catura: Oh yeah! We had pineapple juice at the bath... It was so good!
Huang: Pineapple?
Bai: Never heard of it... Did you like it?
Catura: Yep... All of us loved it!
Bai: Does it warm up your body or something when you drink it?
Catura: Hmm... I remember it had a sweet, refreshing taste.
Huang: I see. So they made juice out of something called a "pineapple."
Bai: But we still don't know what this "pineapple" is. It could be a metaphor, for all we know.
Huang: Metaphor?
Catura: What's a... metaphor?
Bai: Well, to put it simply, a metaphor is basically...
Bai: ...
Catura: Huh... What's wrong, Bai?
Huang: Let her be, Catura. Bai's just trying to say something clever but can't think of the words for it.
Bai: Grr...
Huang: Anyway, it's pretty hard for us to picture Alohas in our minds...
Catura: We had our assembly too, of course! Though... it would've been even better... if everyone was there.
Bai: Right...
Catura: Alohas was lots of fun... but I'm sure it'd be fun anywhere... if we're all together!
Huang: Yep, exactly!
Catura: By the way... Were the both of you busy with something... when we had our assembly?
Huang: Yeah. A lot of monsters appeared on an island close by, so we went to deal with that.
Bai: It's really too bad we couldn't make it to the assembly.
Catura: I see... You must be needed a lot... as feng shui practitioners!
Catura: Oh, speaking of feng shui... Are you able to invite fortune... for matters on love too?
Bai: Of course!
Huang: Wait. Catura, does that mean you've finally found... your destined prince charming?
Catura: Moohoohoo! That's right...
Huang: Grr!
Bai: Ooh, I sense a wholesome chat session coming!
Catura: Yep! Let's spend some time... talking about love together!
Laolao: Gawr... That can wait until after you've finished passing on the year spirit duties, gawr.
Bai: Fiiine.
Catura: That's true... Okay, I'll start handing over the responsibilities then.
Huang: Let's do it! Then we'll get straight to chatting after!
Laolao: That's all you girls think about, gawr...
Laolao watches on as Catura and the Cidala sisters finally begin the passing on of year spirit duties.
'Twas a peaceful day under the clear, blue skies, just before another year comes to a wonderful close.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Rabbit

Huang, Bai, and Laolao visit Makura to pass on year spirit duties and end up helping her rehearse for an upcoming play. Laolao gives the Divine Rabbit high praise for a fantastic script, which gives her the confidence to later put on an amazing performance for the main event.



???: Hm...
A low, troubled groan rings in the outskirts of the island housing the Rabbit Temple.
The groan comes from a well-known young woman on the island.
???: Hrm...
???: Sigh... What a toughie... It's just not quite right...
Distant Voice: Heeey!
Distant Voice: Makuuuu!
Makura: Huh?
Makura smiles at the sight of the figures approaching in the distance.
Makura: Hahah! Here come the chatterboxes.
Bai: Maku, long time no see.
Huang: They told us at the Rabbit Temple that you'd be here!
Makura: Good job finding me! I suppose this is about passing on year spirit duties? Glad you could make it.
Makura: Soon enough I'll be the year spirit, huh... I'd better give it my all.
Laolao: Divine Rabbit, it has been a while.
Makura: ...!
L-Laolao! You're here too!
Makura: Look at that floofy beard—I mean, you're looking as majestic as ever!
Makura: I just remembered I've got a nice bottle of wine here! How'd you like to share?
Laolao: Oh, what a delight that would be! Thank you for offering, gawr!
Makura: (Ahhh... Talk about adorable!)
Makura: (I have a rising urge to just snuggle up to him, but I have to hold it in!)
Makura: (He's a respected figure in Divine General history... I can't be rude!)
Makura: Hehe... I'll just have to resort to my usual tactic of letting the drinks flow before going in for the snuggle...)
Laolao: Well then, are you prepared to make the transition?
Makura: Um, about that... Could you possibly... give me a bit more time?
Huang: What's wrong, Maku?
Makura: Truth is, I'm struggling with an act for the upcoming play.
Bai: An act you came up with yourself? That's impressive.
Makura: I showed the troupe and they love it, but as the main event draws closer, I find myself feeling unsure...
Makura: Since I had some time alone, I was racking my brain thinking of ways to take things up another notch.
Makura: So at the moment, I'm not so sure I can concentrate on taking over year spirit duties...
Huang: Sounds like a bit of a pickle. Then again, we don't mind waiting a bit for you.
Makura: Sorry... Thing is, I still don't have any ideas on how exactly to improve the act...
Bai: Must be tough as a traveling performer.
Huang: Yeah, we can't even imagine.
Makura: Hey, I know! Why don't you two join me on the stage!
Cidala Sisters: Wha?
Makura: I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner! Adding the Divine Tiger to the act will make it a big hit with the audience!
Makura: The Divine Rabbit and Tiger both onstage at once! We're gonna absolutely kill it!
Makura: What do you say? Care to liven up the stage with me?
Bai: Um... Well, we wouldn't want to impose.
Makura: Hm, do I sense you holding back? That ain't the Cidala I know.
Huang: We'd just end up stealing your limelight.
Makura: Hah, that's more like it.
Bai: Even though it's your show...
Huang: We'll end up getting all the attention the moment we show up.
Makura: Bwahahaha! You've got spunk, all right! It's a contest then—to see who does a better job of captivating the crowds.
Makura: You girls...
Harry: Woo-hoo-hoo!
Makura: Are totally oooonn!
Harrington: Lepus Troupe, represent!
Makura: Gimme just one sec!
Makura quickly revises her script to add a scene where the Cidala Sisters show up, then proceeds to begin rehearsing.
Makura: You two feel free to read the script as you go along!
Makura: Let's see what you've got! Go ahead and stick it to me!
Huang: (The road to showbiz has just opened up for us... What if we end up getting scouted after this?)
Bai: (I don't think I can handle more fans than I already have...)
Makura: You're the audience, Laolao, so keep a close watch, won't ya?
Laolao: Wait, what about the year spirit succession, gawr?
Makura: C'mon! We're starting, you two!
Makura: Aha! So you're the pair responsible for all the mischief round these parts!
Huang: We don't have a clue what you're talking about. Who are you anyway?
Makura: You can't fool me! You're causing mayhem all over as the Tiger Sisters!
Bai: Heheh... And what if we are?
Makura: Well, I'm here to put a stop to your shenanigans—right here, right now!
Bai: Hah, you're all talk.
Huang: Wait till you see what we Tiger Sisters are capable of!
Huang: (Hrm, something's missing... Anyone can read off a script. I need to go the extra mile to be a true actress...)
Huang: (Wait, when it comes to acting, there's one thing you can't do without!)
Makura: Bring it on! I'll take on the both of you at once!
Huang: Get a load of this first!
Bai: Wha?
Makura: ...!
Laolao: Wh-what are you doing! Let go, gawr!
Laolao, who was supposed to be part of the audience, is now in Huang's arms.
Huang: You move an inch, and I'll tear into the little tiger!
Makura: Ooh... Eager to playact, I see.
Bai: I told you not to move! The tiger's life is in your hands!
Huang: Don't make us do this!
The Cidala Sisters do not hold back, pinching Laolao's cheeks and poking him all over with reckless abandon.
Laolao: C-cut that out, gawr! It hurts!
Tiger Sisters: Take this!
Laolao: G-g-g-gwaaar! Leave me out of it!
Makura: ...
Huang: Drop your weapon, and we'll consider letting the tiger go!
Bai: Get on your back and show us your tummy! Submission pose!
Makura: For bunny's sake...
Huang: Huh?
Bai: What?
Makura: Your utter disrespect of the most adorable tiger of all time...
Makura: Calls for the harshest of punishments!
Huang: Um... Maku? You realize we're just ad-libbing it, right?
Makura: No excuses!
Huang: Eep! Run for it, Bai!
However, a response comes not from beside Huang but from far behind her.
Bai: Huh? You called?
Huang: How'd you get there so fast!
Makura: Got you, Huang!
Huang: Gyaaaah!
Makura has Huang restrained, putting an arm across her neck.
Bai: I'll never forget your sacrifice, Huang... My dearest sister...
Huang: Why do you get to survive!
Makura: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Did you actually think you could get away from me, Bai?
Bai: Eek!
Keeping a firm hold on Huang, Makura leaps over to Bai.
Bai: P-please, no...
Huang: Anything but that!
Makura: I hate to say this, but what you two have done is unforgivable! Prepare to be tickled to bits!
No sooner than she declares the disciplinary measure does she rush in for the tickle fest.
Huang: Nyahahahaha! Ehehehehehehehe!
Bai: Teeheeheehee... Hahaha... Hoohoohoo... Haahaahaahoo... Gwahaha... Hooheehee...
Makura: I'm just getting started!
Cidala Sisters: Nyaaaa...
Laolao: Hah... Now you see what it's like to be on the receiving side of your pranks. I hope this has taught you two a lesson, gawr.
Makura's punishment lasts longer than expected. The Cidala Sisters are both collapsed on the ground by the time it's over.
Huang: Huff... Huff...
Bai: After what I just went through, I'm not sure I can still get married...
Laolao: Come now, it wasn't that bad.
Laolao adopts a triumphant attitude as he looks down at the sisters, unaware that Makura is right behind him.
Makura: Laolao! Tell me you're okay!
Laolao: Urgh! What is the meaning of this! Unhand me at once, gawr!
Makura: Thank goodness you're all right! You have no idea how worried I was!
Laolao: Yes, enough with the snuggling now, please!
Makura: Aah, Laolao! You're the beeest!
Laolao: Brgwaaaah!
The snuggle session continues for quite some time... until Makura finally decides it's time to continue the scene.
Makura: It's over for you!
Huang: Gwaaah! You trounced us...
Bai: I yield...
Makura: Okay, that should do it for our rehearsal!
Laolao: ...
Makura: Laolao, how was it!
Laolao: To be frank...
Laolao: That bored me to tears, gawr!
Makura: Wha!
Makura: You know... Haha, I appreciate you being upfront with me...
Bai: You don't look too appreciative right now.
Laolao: To be fair though...
Makura: ...?
Laolao: I took a look through your script and other than the rushed scene where the twins show up, I think you have something special here, gawr.
Makura: You mean...
Laolao: I recommend simply going with what you already have. The Cidala Sisters are unnecessary for your act.
Makura: ...!
Laolao: Just like yourself, the Divine Rabbits up until the previous one always expressed concern for their new act during this time.
Laolao: It's why the Lepus Troupe has grown to the extent it has. What you have here is bound to be a hit with the audience, Makura—I guarantee it.
Makura: Laolao...
Laolao: Have faith in yourself, gawr.
Huang: That's right, Maku!
Bai: Instead of being with you onstage, we'll be cheering you on as part of the audience.
Makura: Huang... Bai...
Huang: We'll back you up with our powers of feng shui!
Bai: By making sure a favorable wind blows your way.
Makura: Phew... Looks like I was the one who wasn't being myself.
Makura: Really appreciate it, guys! I can feel the confidence building up within me!
Makura: And thanks for the sage advice, Laolao. I hope you'll come watch too!
Laolao: I will. Gladly.
Huang: We're looking forward to it, Maku!
Bai: We can do the succession ceremony after that.
Makura: Yep, I've got it all in the bag! You three just relax and enjoy the show!
Makura works on perfecting her act, which later proves to be a roaring success.
As year spirit, the Divine Rabbit will no doubt prove to be just as capable in bringing smiles to all.
