Background

Lancelot is currently the Captain of the Order of the White Dragons, knights who have sworn to defend Feendrache. Originally he had been Vice Captain of the Order of the Black Dragons, the previous Order, but through a devastating chain of events, he rose in rank when his former Captain and mentor, Siegfried, was forced to flee. Now in a position of higher responsibility in a time of turmoil, Lancelot sheds his former mischievous personality and assumes the role of a perfect chivalric knight.

Prior to the events of Defender's Oath, Lancelot and Vane were neighbours and childhood friends from the same remote village. Due to their distance from the capital and, consequently, the knights' protection, Vane's parents were killed by wyverns, and Vane's ensuing grief motivated Lancelot to become a knight. However, the Order was vastly in favour of recruiting nobility, and without the same privileges, Lancelot had to essentially teach himself and Vane. As a result of King Josef's policies and Siegfried's intervention in his almost failed admission exam, Lancelot eventually procured a recommendation and successfully joined the Order with his renowned talent, despite his circumstances. Thereafter securing his place, Lancelot continued to climb in rank until he became Vice Captain of the Order of the Black Dragons, sharing the position with Percival. Maintaining an equal rivalry with his fellow Vice Captain, Lancelot idolised his Captain Siegfried, complimenting his awkwardness with his natural charisma. These idyllic times would soon collapse when Siegfried was accused of regicide and forced to flee.

Unaware of the machinations behind-the-scenes, Lancelot became the Captain of the newly reorganised Order of the White Dragons, composed of the remnants of the disgraced Order of the Black Dragons. The events of Defender's Oath transpire, and Feendrache is thrown into upheaval as Lancelot learns of the secrets behind the Order's reorganisation. Despite any further plots against his beloved kingdom, Lancelot makes the effort to rebuild every time, even temporarily travelling with the Grandcypher crew to learn more about the outside world. As part of his desire to overhaul the education system and reform the Order, Lancelot revises their application process to make them more impartial, aiming to judge candidates on their chivalry instead of their lineage, bolstered by his own background as a commoner who managed to become Captain. This in turn grants Arthur and Mordred the opportunity to join the Order in Divergent Knighthoods.

Personality

Lancelot is noble and diligent, the perfect image of a knight. Even as children, Lancelot would play with Vane and still manage to read vast quantities of books. His persistence in learning lead to his reputation as a prodigy, earning him favour and accolades that helped him rise in rank despite his commoner origins.

Despite his natural talent for swordsmanship, Lancelot holds insecurities about the meaning of chivalry, especially considering the circumstances behind him becoming Captain at his young age. His tendency to mull on his own self doubt, combined with his fervent doggedness, means he can easily lose sight of himself. His hidden stress frequently manifests as a messy room, which Vane ends up having to clean, who, in turn, encourages Lancelot to vent out his troubles. Aided by Vane's rise in rank to become his Vice Captain, Lancelot learns the importance of confiding and leaning on others.

Before being placed in a position of responsibility, Lancelot had been much rowdier, cracking jokes and frequently getting into fights with his fellow knights. Sometimes, this playful side of him still slips out when he is away from his duties, and is easily seen in his excitement to play tricks on Halloween. However, he hides this from his subordinates lest his professional image be torn, and appears embarrassed when Vane brings up his mischievous past.

Relationships

• Vane: childhood friend, neighbours from the same village, acts as both his confidant and Vice Captain. They often work in tandem.
• Siegfried: was one of his Vice Captains when he was Captain of the Order of the Black Dragons. Both mentor and idol, and thus felt deeply betrayed upon his flight from Feendrache. After their reconciliation, returns to idolising him.
• Percival: fellow Vice Captain during the Order of the Black Dragons, equals even up to him leaving the Order.
• Team Chickadee: their superior as Captain of the Order.
• Charlotta: fellow Captains of chivalric Orders, who came to know each other during their time on the Grandcypher crew.

Happy Birthday Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy birthday! I'm glad to be able to celebrate your birthday with you. Let's enjoy ourselves!
2	✔	Today's your birthday. Right, (Captain)? Hm? Why do you look surprised? Ha-ha! Of course I'd remember a birthday for someone as dear to me as you! As luck would have it, I'm free all day today. So... if you'd like, (Captain), shall we go out somewhere together? Oh! If you're nodding, then that means yes, right? Thank you, (Captain). Well then, shall we go now? Hm... Well, anywhere is fine by me! Do you have a place in mind, (Captain)? No, wait! I'm not being lazy about your birthday plans! If you leave everything up to me, I know I can take you around to places you'll enjoy! Ha-ha! Today is all about you, (Captain)! Your wish is my command! Now let's make this birthday a fun one!
3	✔	Happy birthday! I put together a special training session for you just for today. Huh? You want to do something different? Okay, shall we take a stroll through the forest? Ahhh... The weather today is splendid. I can hear the birds chirping from afar. Oh yeah? You've seen birds like that in the forest near your home, (Captain)? Hm? There's something on the ground... Look! It's a snake skin! Ha-ha! What a lucky find! Did you know? Snake skins are said to bring prosperity. There are even people who clean them up and make them into protection charms. I know! Let's make a matching pair of charms for ourselves! Heh-heh! I have a design in mind for you, so be looking forward to it!
4	✔	Happy birthday! (Captain), what are your plans for the day? Oh? You're free? Then how about... we go out for a little walk? I know last year was a little haphazard, so this year I've done a little planning in advance. I was thinking we could walk along Feendrache and have some local food or go to my favorite weapon shop... Or we could train together. What do you think? Hm? Do none of those options interest you? I see... You are a hard one to please, (Captain). Then what if we... went on a rowboat trip over on that lake? Would you like that? Oh! I saw your eyes light up! That's what we'll do then! I don't know if I'm any good at rowing, but I'll try anyways. (Captain), you just sit back, relax, and take in the scenery.
5	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain)! This is our fifth year celebrating together, isn't it? When we first met, I thought you were someone who had a strong sense of responsibility—someone I could trust. But after journeying with you for so long, now I know that you are so much more than that. You've made me think that I want to be someone who can put his all into defending someone else. Haha, you look happy to hear that. I like the smile on your face! Actually, I have a present for you today. Here are some props to help you with your core training! It all comes down to the basics for everything, right? I'll show you how to use them. Would you be up for some training now?

Happy New Year Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy New Year! The new year is no excuse to skip out on training! Now let's get to work!
2	✔	Usually I go see my parents back home for the new year, but hm... Would you like to come, (Captain)? Great! Then why don't you come along with me for a visit? I'd love to introduce you to my parents. So yeah? You'll come? What's wrong? Just leave everything to me and I'll show you around while we're there. Ah! And we should check out the local festival they have every year. They have food stalls and merchants and more! Oh, I should probably warn you though. Be careful not to cut loose too much. The older folks there seem to look down on that!
3	✔	Looks like I'll be able to spend the new year with my parents again this year. Huh? You want to come with me this year too? Sure, you're more than welcome! Shall we check out the local festival again? Oh, and if there's any food you want to try, you be sure to tell me. I'll procure it for you! I've an idea... Why don't we watch the New Year sunrise together this time? There's a scenic spot only visited by locals in the know. You can get a full view of the town below, and the light morning mist makes for a real sight to see! A long time ago, I used to stand there New Year's mornings and scream aloud that I'd become a superior knight... All right, I think we've got a plan... Let's try hard to wake up early that day!
4	✔	Happy New Year! Just like last year, you came all this way to my home town. This is starting to become a yearly thing. I've got something interesting I want to show you. Would you look over there for a second? Lancelot sets the small item he was holding in his hand on to the ground and lights it on fire. Hahaha! Did the noise scare you? This is what we do when the new year begins! The loud noise is supposed to keep bad spirits away. And if you want extra luck, then you light this yourself! That's what I used to tell Vane as a child to give him some courage. He was a scaredy cat. But since you came all this way, be my guest! Light it up! Don't worry. Just make sure you get as far away from it as possible after it's been lit. If you want, I'll stay right by your side.
5	✔	I can't take any more... I'm so full! Heheh, I didn't think I'd still be uncontrollably stuffing myself with mochi even at this age. You managed to devour quite a lot yourself, (Captain). How many did you have? T-that many? Then I guess you've got all the energy you'll need to participate in the annual New Year's kite-flying competition! I'd been planning on making some final adjustments and practicing before it starts, but I'm too full to move right now... Hm? Oh, that's a great idea! Okay, let's prepare ourselves in the meantime by doing some mental training until we can start running again. First, we'll gauge the direction of the wind, then hold onto the kite and wait leeward for the right timing. Next, we'll let the string out from the reel bit by bit and run windward! Is it up? All right! Let's keep it flying like that and follow along with the wind! Heheh, the mental training went perfectly! Now I can't wait to actually fly it!

Valentine's Day Cutscenes

1	✔	Oh, that's right! Today's Valentine's Day. You got me a gift, did you? Thank you! No matter if it's chocolates or macarons, I've got a real sweet tooth!
2	✔	Oh! Have you brought another sweet gift for me this year, (Captain)? I'll happily accept it, of course! Wow... The wrapping is quite nice. Do you mind if I open it and have a little bite? Mmm... Mmm... Incredible! I've never had anything so delicious! Where'd you get your hands on these? What! You made them yourself? I guess there's nothing you can't do, (Captain)! I've a whole new level of respect for you! By the way... have you given chocolate to your valentine yet? Hm? Why are you so quiet all of sudden? I see, I see... You're embarrassed to say, right? In exchange for your gift, I'll lend you an ear and some advice if you'd like. Come see me anytime!
3	✔	Whew... Training sure feels good! What do you want to do after we take a break? Hm? You brought some chocolate? That was good thinking on your part to bring a snack. Huh? Oh, I see... Today is Valentine's Day, huh? I completely forgot... Thank you. I'm glad I could get chocolates from you again this year! Mmm... Delicious! It has a citrus-like aroma to it too. This really hits the spot after a good workout! I'm the luckiest lad in the capital to get chocolate like this, filled with all your kindness. Now, shall we resume our training? (Captain)? Your cheeks are turning red. Are you all right? Did you push yourself too much while sparring? Let's see, where's the water flask... Here, if you don't mind sharing the same flask with me, have some water!
4	✔	(Captain)... Yeah, I just finished a few things. Come inside. This box... Oh! It's Valentine's Day! Every year, without fail, you always remember me. Thank you! Which one should I eat first... Nom... Yum. The chocolate you make really is good. Getting something like this all to myself just makes me feel really special! (Captain)... You're so red... You're really happy? Heh heh... I never tell a lie. Your chocolate is really tasty! Now that my energy's been restored, I'm ready to get back to work!
5	✔	(Captain)... Cough, cough... Oh, it's nothing—just a small cold. Did you come to check up on me because you were worried? What's this? Ah, that's right. It's Valentine's Day today, isn't it? Wow, I'm so happy. I didn't have much of an appetite from my cold, but I was just in the mood for something sweet! Cough, cough... This isn't good. You shouldn't get too close to me, (Captain). You might catch my cold... Don't worry. Vane made me some porridge for lunch, so I did have something to eat. I'll be fine after some rest. It's still cold these days, so be sure to take care of yourself, okay? Thank you. Good night.

White Day Cutscenes

1	✔	Today's White Day, right? Will you accept this token of my gratitude? I hope you like it...
2	✔	I'm sorry for calling you here all of a sudden... I know it's just giving you a gift, but... being alone with you has gotten me a little nervous. Ahem... Allow me to start over! (Captain), your sincere thoughtfulness always fills me with gratitude. I hope that we can form a bond, bettering each other as we grow. And so if there's anything I can do for you, then you need only ask. Whew... I'll be counting on you even more from now on, (Captain). This is a token of my feelings for you. I hope you'll accept it!
3	✔	(Captain), I got you a gift as thanks for Valentine's. Will you accept it? Ah, but I'd like for you to read the letter attached to it later. I'm a little embarrassed to have you read it in front of me... (Captain), allow me the chance to say this now. I'm so deeply grateful to you. You come running whenever we're in trouble, and even when the journey gets tough, you never forget to check in on the capital... What made me happiest is when you said you love the people and places found only in our kingdom. The elation I felt in that moment is still precious to me. Ah... I guess I ended up saying almost everything in the letter... I should've done that from the beginning. Ahem... Well, my point is that... I'm grateful for all you do. Please accept this as a token of my thanks.
4	✔	Good... I've finished patrolling the grounds, so time to call it a day. I'm sorry you came all this way to Feendrache only to have to accompany me on duty. I just wanted to know if you saw any flaws or areas we could improve when we patrol. And I wanted to say just how much I appreciate you. (Captain) and Lancelot enter a deserted park and Lancelot looks into (Captain)'s eyes. We can talk here. I just want to say... Happy White Day, (Captain). Thank you for everything. You always seem to know how to help me. Can I ask that you always do so? Heh heh... I'm glad I got to hear that answer.
5	✔	(Captain), do you have a moment? Thank you for the chocolate the other day. Thanks to that, I'm feeling a lot better now! I'm sorry if I made you worry. You coming to see me made me really happy. Today, I wanted to repay you for your kindness. So... Here's something for you in return. I hope you like it! Hm? Your face is a little red. Don't tell me you caught my cold... No? Well, that's good then. If you ever feel under the weather, you can count on me to be there for you. Making sure you're nicely tucked up in bed is the least I can do.

Trick or Treat Cutscenes

1	✔	Trick or treat! If you don't hand over the candy, I'll play a trick on you! Hahaha! I feel like a kid again!
2	✔	Hm... Why the serious expression, (Captain)? You've received a particularly serious assignment, I take it! What's that? You want to think of a prank horrible enough to make ne'er do wells think twice before committing evil? Why would you make such a request of me? Surely someone else would be more suitable. You wish to enlist my proven capacity for strategic thinking? Hm... I see. Heh. When you put it that way, I suppose I have little choice. Besides... I can't very well deny a request from you, (Captain). Not one this important to you. Very well. Gather information on the target's current flaws and failings. We're going to spook this one good. Hehehe... It's been too long. I can't wait to get to work.
3	✔	(Captain)! Look at you all covered in ink! What happened? I see... The mischief-maker from last year has popped up again, yes? No problem! Let me help you out for some real payback. Take a look at this note. Heh! After last year's Halloween, I did some thinking and wrote up a few tricks we could try. So, which one is your favorite? Honestly, I like them all! Heh-heh! We're about to go all out, so the fun starts now!
4	✔	What's wrong, (Captain)? Why are you hiding in this wooden box? I see... When you tried to give candy to some children, they attacked you... I may have a way of getting even. Wait right there! I've received intel on our enemies! It appears their leader is a tempermental lass who is currently enroute for a surprise water gun attack. We may have the wisdom that comes with age, but they have the numbers. I suggest we strike in their only blind spot. I will hide here and you will be in that box over there... ! That's freezing! Tch... Apart from the group I scouted, they had a strike team ready too? We don't have a choice! We have to power our way through! You have our secret weapon ready, right, (Captain)? All right... Release the water balloon!
5	✔	Oh, (Captain). What's the matter? Wha! Lancelot notices something hurtling toward him from behind (Captain) and immediately ducks. What in the skies was that... Toy arrows? And isn't that the troop who gave us that surprise attack before? Don't tell me you decided to switch sides... This sure is an unexpected twist... Heh, but if that's how you're going to play... then I won't hold back either! Lancelot picks up two toy arrows lying near his feet and holds them out like a pair of blades. Get ready for the Twin Arrow Attack of the Pumpkin Festival! Here I come! Haaah!

Happy Holidays Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Season's greetings! This time of year always reminds me of the times Vane and I stayed up late to try and see Santa Claus!
2	✔	Ah... It's the holiday season. But I don't feel like going out with all the crowds. I guess I should tidy up my room a little... Hm? Oh, hey there, (Captain). You want to help me clean my room? No way! I can't let you do that! No! I mean, it's not like I have anything to hide. It's just that you're the captain and it's your holiday break, you see... Humph... You don't give up, do you? Fine. I'll let you help me just this once, (Captain)! In exchange, I'll take you someplace to eat after we're done! Heheh... Now where should we go?
3	✔	Today's the holiday party, huh? I remember going to those parties when I was a kid... Heh-heh, it was so funny! Vane could never remember the words to the songs and made a mess of holiday caroling... So I'd be sure to sing to him over and over again for practice. Ha-ha! What a great memory... Huh? You want me to sing something now? I dunno... You can't just put me on the spot! You really really want me to? Well, if you insist... But just a little. Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to sleigh on this jolly holiday! A-ha-ha-ha! You're embarrassing me with all that clapping... All right! Now it's your turn to sing for me, (Captain)... And don't try to blush your way out of it!
4	✔	Happy holidays! (Captain), did you look outside? There's so much snow! It's a fluffy white world out there! When I was young I would play outside by making snowmen on days like this. Together, the body and head would be made of three big balls. The head would get a helmet which was just a bucket, and I think I even added a sword to make him look a soldier. I'd name him after a famous warrior, and then Vane and I would salute him. Heh heh... Those were fun times. Huh? You want to see a warrior snowman? As a matter of fact, I could make an even better snowman than before! Will you help me make him especially big? Let's surprise all the crew members!
5	✔	Happy holidays! Thanks for keeping watch out here on the deck despite it being so cold. Here, I brought you something warm to drink. It's so cold you can even see your breath... This reminds me of the time I patrolled the streets of Feendrache on a cold night like this before I became captain. The cold was so brutal, I could feel it seeping into my bones... An old lady thanked me and gave me a cup of hot tea to drink when she saw me patrolling out in the cold. The warmth of the tea and the feeling of being depended on made me so happy. Thanks to that, I was able to keep going. Maybe that's why I wanted to come and bring you a warm drink myself. Since the party preparations are pretty much complete, would it be all right if I stayed and kept watch with you? Heheh. All right then, let's stick this out together!

Taking What Is Offered

Lancelot invites (Captain), Lyria, and Vyrn to Feendrache for Halloween, where they find his office in a mess due to a package he received from his parents while Vane was away. As the crew helps him clean up, he finds a letter from his mother and stops to read it.

---

Lancelot: (Captain), Vyrn, Lyria! Thank you for coming!

Some time before Feendrache and Lancelot's home village of Nimue was attacked by dragons, the nation was getting ready to celebrate a peaceful Halloween.

Hoping to spend Halloween together, the crew members have accepted an invitation from the knight captain.

Lyria: Lancelot! It's good to... see you?

Vyrn: Hey, what's wrong with this room? The floor's so covered in stuff that ya can't even walk on it!

However, they find themselves shocked upon walking into his office.

All kinds of objects are haphazardly scattered throughout the room.

Lancelot: Hey, it's not that bad! But I guess it is pretty messy, I'm sorry about that.

Lancelot: I just received a package from my parents. I had only asked for them to send a couple of books, but it seems they included a bunch of other things...

Vyrn: Haha, so ya couldn't be bothered organizing things as ya took stock of it all, huh?

Lyria: They sure sent you a lot, didn't they? Clothes, books, and even food. And even some paperwork... Wait, paperwork?

Lancelot: Oh, so that's where it went! I've been looking for that!

Vyrn: Geez, I guess we'll help ya out... There's no way we can enjoy the festivities knowing we've left this catastrophe behind.

1. How bothersome...
2. What're we gonna do with you, Lancey?

Choose: How bothersome...

Lancelot: Urgh... Don't be so mad, (Captain)...

Vyrn: Well, no point complaining! Come on, stop being glum and start cleaning this place up!

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: What're we gonna do with you, Lancey?

Lancelot: Haha... I can't count how many times Vane has said that to me.

Lyria: Hehe, I can imagine it right now! Okay, let's get to cleaning!

Continue 1

Lancelot: Thanks for the help. Oh right, the cake and pie they sent should be somewhere around—

Lyria: Cake and pie! Now that you mention it, something really smells nice...

Lancelot: My mother and her neighbor, Auntie Adele, baked them. They're really good, so let's—

Vyrn: Hey! Cleaning comes first!

Lyria: Right!

Lancelot: We're on it!

As everyone cleans Lancelot's office, he happens to find an envelope wedged in between two objects.

Lancelot: This is...

Curious, he stops cleaning and pulls out the letter to read it.

Elaine: "Long time no see, Lancelot. How have you been? Neither you nor Vane have gotten sick, right?"

Elaine: "I've sent the books you asked for, along with a lot of other stuff I couldn't stop myself from adding."

Lancelot: (You really never change, Mother... Still, thank you.)

Elaine: "I've included vegetables, seasoning, and some food that keeps well, so please pass all that to Vane."

Elaine: "There are plenty of snacks too, so share with him. No fighting over them!"

Lancelot: (Mother, how old do you think we are?)

Elaine: "Oh, and your father wants to hear about what you two have been up to lately."

Elaine: "The village children beg him for stories about you daily, it seems."

Elaine: "Send him a letter, even if you don't have any interesting stories to share. I'm sure he'll love it."

Lancelot: (Father used to spend so much time teaching Vane and me and telling us stories, didn't he...)

Ban: Right, what kind of story should I tell you today?

Young Lancelot: I want to hear about the hero of the south!

Young Vane: Uhm, uh... Me too!

Ban: Hmm... I was thinking about telling you about the ninjas of the east, but...

Ban: Haha, I guess you two really love knights and heroes, huh?

Young Lancelot: Ninjas! I wanna hear about ninjas too!

Young Lancelot: Oh yeah, the east has stories about cats that turn into monsters too, right?

Young Vane: What? A monster?

Ban: Would you prefer a different story, Vane?

Young Vane: N-no! I'm with Lancey so I'll be okay! Tell us the story!

Ban: You've got it. Right then, first I'll tell you about the hero of the south...

Lancelot: (I bet he's still telling stories to kids, just like back then...)

Ban: Now, what do you want to hear today?

Ban: I could tell you about the hero and princess of the south, the monsters of Halloween, the legendary magician of the west...

Ban: Or, how about the Order of the White Dragons?

Lancelot: ...

Vyrn: Hey, why's Lancelot so quiet?

(Captain) and Lyria look up to see Lancelot gazing at the letter with a smile on his face.

Lyria: That must be from his mother. He looks so happy, hehe...

Vyrn: Well, I guess he's out of action. We'll have to finish up ourselves.

Lancelot: Hm? Oh, I'm sorry! I got distracted!

Lancelot: I'll make up for it, so leave some for me!

Vyrn: Some of what, the mess?

Vyrn: Wow, this apple pie your mom baked is so crispy and delicious!

Lancelot: Haha, I'm glad to hear it!

Lancelot: Have as much as you want, everyone. It's only thanks to you all that this room is so clean now.

Lyria: The pumpkin cake is very tasty too!

Lancelot: Every fall, Vane and I would always get excited waiting for Auntie Adele to start baking those.

Lancelot: I'll have to save some for him to eat once he's back from his expedition.

Vyrn: Oh, I get it. Your office ended up like this 'cause Vane's out of town, huh?

Lancelot: Well... Haha...

Lyria: In any case, it's good that we cleaned it up before the Halloween party! You're going to be so busy patrolling.

Lancelot: Yes, I am. It will be a huge event with people coming from all over and even outside of the country, after all.

Lancelot: That said, we've meticulously planned out how we're handling security. There won't be anything to worry about—enjoy the festival to your hearts' content.

Vyrn: Yeah, you bet! Thanks for the invitation, Lancelot.

Lancelot: And thank you for coming... Oh, right. There's something I need to do before the festivities start.

Lyria: Something you need to do? For the Order of the White Dragons, you mean?

Lancelot: Yes, that's right. We're sending out teams of surveyors to update our maps of Feendrache right now.

Lancelot: One of them is about to head for an abandoned village, but it seems that monsters have started living there.

Lancelot: The surveyors always have knights guarding them, but I've decided to join them as well just in case.

Vyrn: So that's what Vane's doin' too, huh?

Lancelot: Indeed. So I'm sorry to disappear right after you've just arrived, but I'll leaving tomorrow for about two days.

1. We'll go with you.
2. Have a nice trip.

Choose: We'll go with you.

Lancelot: You will? Well, that would certainly be reassuring...

Lyria: Of course! We might even be able to help you come back more quickly, after all!

Go to "Continue 2"

Choose: Have a nice trip.

Vyrn: I'd rather go help him than just wait! It's not like we have any other plans anyway. Does that sound good, Lancelot?

Lancelot: Of course. I'd be thrilled to have your help.

Lyria: That settles it! Let's help Lancelot finish up his work, (Captain)!

Lancelot: I'm sorry to trouble you with this after inviting you here, but thanks for the assistance.

Lancelot cheerfully offers his appreciation, still unaware of what awaits him.

For it is not merely monsters that took up residence at the abandoned village...

A Pair from the Past

Leading the crew and a group of surveyors to an abandoned village, Lancelot rescues three cats that lead him to a shed containing a magical hat and cloak. Taking them back to the camp, the knight captain suddenly falls asleep and opens his eyes to find himself in a new outfit.

---

Lancelot: We're here.

The day after (Captain)'s crew joined him, Lancelot arrives at the abandoned village with the surveyors in tow.

Vyrn: It's all quiet now, but this must've been a really big village.

Lancelot: Yes. The monster presence and tendency for roads to collapse around here made this a particularly difficult area to get around.

Lancelot: That resulted in them trying to make the village self-sufficient, but in the end it didn't go well.

Lancelot: Only a few years ago, it was a lively, wonderful town...

Lyria: That's sad, but I'm glad to hear that they weren't wiped out by monsters.

Lancelot: That said, there are probably monsters here now, considering the size of this place. Be careful, every—

Just as Lancelot speaks to the group, his guess is proven correct.

Monster: Graaah!

Lancelot: ...!
That was...

1. Let's go!

Choose: Let's go!

Lancelot: Right!

Lancelot: Over there!

Reaching the source of the voice faster than anyone else, he finds a monster trying to intimidate a group of animals.

Monster: Grah! Grah!

White Cat 1: Meow!

Lancelot: It's preying on the cats!

Facing down the monster are three cats. Two white and scrawny ones press up against each other as a black one has its fur standing on end.

Black Cat: Hiss!

Monster: Grah!

Lancelot: Watch out!

Seeing the black cat take a step forward, Lancelot draws his swords and gracefully leaps in between the monster and its prey.

Lancelot: Hraaah!

Monster: Grack!

Lancelot: Whew... It's all right now.

White Cat 1: Meow!

Lancelot: It looks like nobody got hurt. Look at you shaking like that, you must have been so scared...

Lancelot: Do you want some water? Drink this and try to calm down a little.

Taking out his canteen and pouring some water onto a plate, Lancelot places it before the cats.

White Cat 2: Meow!

Lancelot: Hehe...

As they ravenously drink up the water, the cats let Lancelot pet them without resistance.

Lancelot: They're so docile. Are they used to being around people?

The moment of peace and quiet disappears as Lancelot's companions catch up.

Vyrn: You beat a monster! Was that the only one?

Lancelot: It was, but there might be others hiding elsewhere. We should split up and search the area.

White Cat 1: Meow!

Having finished their water, the cats cry out in response to Lancelot's suggestion.

Lancelot: Haha, I like your guts, but it's too dangerous for you to come with us. You should run along now.

However, the two white cats start happily rubbing themselves up against Lancelot's legs.

The black cat quietly sits a little ways away, monitoring the situation.

Lyria: It looks like they really like you, Lancelot!

Lancelot: Yes... Would keeping them with us until we can be sure that there aren't any other monsters here actually be the safest option?

White Cat 2: Meow, meow, meow!

As Lancelot brushes his chin and thinks, the cats cry out seeking his attention.

They walk a short distance away and turn back, as if they want to show him something.

Lyria: It looks like they're trying to get you to follow them, doesn't it?

Lancelot: Yes, it does... All right.

Lancelot quickly directs his men to search the village for danger and then turns back to the cats.

Vyrn: You're gonna follow them?

Lancelot: Since they're so used to people, they might lead me to their owner.
...
Though I'll have to be prepared for the worst.

Vyrn: R-right. Yeah, that definitely could happen...

Lancelot: What's in here?

Lancelot lets the cats lead him to a run-down building.

Though its interior is littered with boxes and clothes, there is nothing to indicate that a fight took place there.

Lancelot: What is it that you want to show me?

The cats that had been leading the group stop in front of a specific wooden box.

Its lid is missing and lying folded inside of it is a bundle old but high-quality cloth.

Lancelot: This is...

Vyrn: What'd ya find? Treasure?

Lancelot: An old cape and a hat... Is this where you two have been sleeping?

White Cat 1: Meow.

Lyria: Hehe, I guess they wanted to invite us into their home.

But suddenly...

Lancelot: ...!

For just a moment, the cape and the hat emit a bright light.

Lyria: D-did they just shine?

Lancelot: Yes, I did. I seem to sense a faint amount of magic coming from these clothes.

Vyrn: Are they dangerous?

Lancelot: No, I feel nothing that puts me off. But we should check them more closely, just in case.

Lancelot: I'm sorry, but will you let me borrow your bedding? I'll leave this cloth in its place.

White Cat 2: Mew!

Black Cat: ...

Lyria: It looks like they're okay with it. What a smart bunch of kitties!

Vyrn: Right then, let's head back to our camp!

That night, as the group members finish their meals and prepare to discuss the strange outfit...

Lancelot: ...!
What? I suddenly feel sleepy...

Lancelot: Urgh... Everyone, are you all right?

Lancelot looks around in concern and finds that (Captain)'s group has already fallen asleep.

The surveyors and knights standing guard have also all sat down or collapsed to the floor to doze off.

Lancelot: This... isn't... good...

Lancelot: ...
Hm? Where am I?

Vyrn: Huh? What's goin' on? Something seems real bright...

Lyria: Hmm? Good morning, every—

Lyria: Oh! Lancelot, that outfit!

Lancelot: What?

Lancelot: Whaaat!

A Pair from the Past: Scene 2

The crew members find themselves amidst an unfamiliar village's Halloween festivities. Though they eventually determine that there is no danger, two young boys appear and tell Lancelot that he should stay there forever. Realizing that they are the two cats that he saved, Lancelot instead suggests that they leave the abandoned village and find a new place to call home.

---

Lancelot: This is the outfit the cats were using as a bed, right? And this village...

Having woken up in an unfamiliar place, the group looks around in total confusion. Suddenly, a woman calls out to them.

Woman: What are you all standing there looking bewildered for?

Woman: Today's the Halloween festival, isn't it? Get on out there and have some fun!

Lancelot: Ah, excuse me! Could you let us know where—

Before Lancelot can finish asking his question, the woman disappears into the crowd.

Lyria: She left...

Lancelot: Oh well. Anyway, let's sort out what we know. First of all, where are we?

Looking around as he speaks, Lancelot notices something odd.

Lancelot: The layout of these buildings matches that abandoned village.

Lyria and Vyrn are shocked at Lancelot's statement, but (Captain), having already come to the same conclusion, nods in agreement.

Lancelot: So you noticed too, (Captain). It's hard to believe, but... it seems that we're in that same village.

Lancelot: But why...

Lancelot's train of thought is suddenly interrupted by a feline cry.

White Cat 1: Mew, mew!

Black Cat: ...

Lancelot: You three!

Lancelot: Ah, wait!

After crying out for Lancelot's attention, the two white cats disappear back into the crowd.

Standing quietly at Lancelot's feet, the black cat looks out at the direction they went.

Lancelot: Are you not going to go with them?

Black Cat: ...

Eventually, the black cat locks eyes with Lancelot and responds to his concern with a single meow.

Lancelot: ...?

Lancelot: (Odd... For some reason, I feel like I can understand what this cat is trying to tell me...)

Lancelot: ...
There's nothing for me to worry about, you say?

Black Cat: Meow.

Taking the short cry as a yes, Lancelot turns back to (Captain)'s group.

Lancelot: I don't think this place is dangerous. I don't have any proof, but... I feel like this cat told me.

Lyria: The cat did? Is that right, kitty?

Black Cat: Mew.

Lyria: Wow, it answered me! Hehe, now I feel like it's all right too.

Lancelot: Right, let's check out this village. And, just as that person earlier said, we should try to have some fun while we do it.

The group heads out into the village, which has been decorated with jack–o'–lanterns and other Halloween staples, and enjoys the festive atmosphere.

Vyrn: Man, this place sure is bustlin' with people. And there are a whole bunch of cats too.

Vyrn: Hey, that place is sellin' candy apples! We're gonna go get some!

Lancelot: Understood. Don't get lost, though.

Lancelot watches (Captain), Lyria, and Vyrn run off, then feels a strange wind suddenly blow through his hair.

Younger Boy 1: This is how lively our village used to be.

Lancelot: ...
Who are you?

Lancelot turns to face the boy, but he has already disappeared.

Vyrn's Voice: Hey, Lancelot! Don't ya want one too?

Lancelot waves at Vyrn to indicate that he does not, then feels a presence at his left.

Younger Boy 2: Everyone went away... Both the people, and the cats...

Lancelot: ...
I see. That must have been sad.

Lancelot feels no fear as the boy's words sink into his heart.

Younger Brother: All our other brothers from the litter left us too. Now there's only us two.

Lancelot: ...
Litter?

Noticing something odd about the statement, Lancelot looks to his left only to see that the boy is already gone.

Lyria: Lancelot! The village children say that they want to play with us! You should come too!

Lancelot: R-right.

Vyrn: Hm? What's up?

Lancelot: It's nothing. At least... nothing bad, I think.

Lancelot: Anyway, what do they want to play?

Lyria: A game called pumpkinhole. We take an empty jack–o'–lantern and try to—

Lancelot: Throw candies into the eye and mouth holes, and whoever does gets to keep them, right?

Vyrn: You know about it?

Lancelot: Yes, we would play it on Halloween all the time as kids back in our village.

Lancelot: That really takes me back. Every year, I'd share all the treats I won with Vane.

The group loses track of time while playing with the children.

At some point, the two mysterious boys from earlier start playing with them as well.

Lancelot notices this but specifically decides to keep enjoying the game without drawing attention to them.

Vyrn: Ya can't quit while you're ahead, Lancelot! Let's play another!

Lancelot: Of course!

Lancelot: Is what I want to say, but I really need to take a break.

Lancelot takes a seat away from the group, then notices the two boys approaching him.

Older Brother: This brings back so many memories. It's just like it used to be.

Younger Brother: Isn't it fun? Hey, you should stay here with us, and never leave.

Lancelot quietly shakes his head.

Lancelot: ...
I'm sorry, but I can't do that.

Younger Brother: But why? You can't say no, you have to stay...

Brothers: We won't let you leave.

Suddenly, the two brothers turn into giant monsters right before Lancelot's very eyes.

Lancelot: That's... amazing. You've become perfect Halloween monsters.

As Lancelot looks up at the looming figures in shock, the black cat jumps out in front of them.

Black Cat: Hiss!

Lancelot: You're... It's all right, I understand.

Lancelot: You two are those white cats, aren't you?

Older Brother: That's right. There's only two of us now.

Younger Brother: So you should stay with us too, Mister, along with your friends. I'm sure it will be so fun.

Lancelot: ...
I'm sure it must be lonely to live here by yourselves. But unfortunately, we simply cannot stay.

Younger Brother: ...

Lancelot: And even if we did, we wouldn't be able to restore the village to its previous, bustling state.

Older Brother: ...

Lancelot: Do you two have some kind of special attachment to this place?

Older Brother: The village? No, we liked the villagers. We like people.

Lancelot: Then why don't you go search for new encounters? Just like the people who once lived here, you can find a new home too.

Younger Brother: Search?

Lancelot: It's not easy to leave a place that you're familiar with, so I understand why you would be hesitant.

Lancelot: But you two have each other. You each have a brother to stay by your side and support you, right?

Lancelot: If you work together, I know that you can blaze a new trail, just as I once did.

Older Brother: If we work together...

Younger Brother: To blaze a new trail...

After spending a few moments contemplating the idea, the two pumpkin monsters raise their heads with determination in their hearts.

Older Brother: Instead of waiting for hope to come to us... We'll go find it.

Younger Brother: Together, we can find a new home and start a new life.

The two brothers start shining with a bright light, which eventually engulfs Lancelot and everything else around them.

A Pair from the Past: Scene 3

Seeing the two white cats leave on their journey, the black cat—their elder sister—fades into Lancelot's new outfit. But during Feendrache's Halloween festivities, the crew members visit Lancelot and find that she has reappeared. Giving her the name Shadowyn, Lancelot mischievously smiles while thinking of how suprised his parents will be when he brings the mysterious feline home to meet them.

---

Lancelot: This is...

Having instinctively shielded his eyes from the blinding light, Lancelot realizes that he is back at their camp in the abandoned village.

Looking around to see that (Captain) and the other members of the group are waking up, he breathes a sigh of relief.

Vyrn: Yawn... Huh, when did I fall asleep?

Lyria: What happened to the festival? And the children we were playing with?

Lancelot: It seems we remember the same events... which means that experience really was no mere dream.

Searching for an explanation, Lancelot looks to his feet.

Older Brother: Yes, I guess you could say that those clothes conjured it from our desires and memories.

Lancelot: What exactly is this outfit?

Younger Brother: It was a treasure the villagers kept for generations, but eventually there was no one to pass it down and was forgotten.

Older Brother: It looks like it's chosen you as its new master.

Younger Brother: Uh-huh. I've never seen anyone actually wearing it before. It always rejected anyone who tried.

Vyrn: Its master? Is that safe? It's not gonna curse Lancelot or demand his soul or somethin', right?

Lancelot: No, I'm not sensing any desires from it. The magic just feels warm and pleasant.

Younger Brother: Yeah, that warmth is why we chose it for our bed.

Lancelot: I see. So you gained this strange power because of the magic in these clothes.

Younger Brother: Oh, so that's why we can talk. Does that mean we'll lose our voices once we leave them?

Older Brother: Still... we have to get going. To support each other, work together, and blaze a new trail.

Younger Brother: No matter what happens, we'll be able to press on if we have each other's backs. Thank you, Mister.

Having made their decision and expressed their gratitude, the two brothers dash off away from the group and out of sight.

Lancelot: Are you not going with them?

Black Cat: My little brothers will be fine now. Even without me, they'll find the support they need on their journey in each other.

Softly muttering to herself, the black cat fades into tiny balls of light, which are then absorbed by Lancelot's outfit.

Lyria: Hehe, we got so many treats.

Vyrn: I had no idea that we'd get to play pumpkinhole in Feendrache too!

Several days have passed since the events in the abandoned village.

(Captain), Vyrn, and Lyria are enjoying Feendrache's Halloween festivities.

Lyria: Look, I think we found it! This is the post where Lancelot is stationed!

Vyrn: Hey, Lancelot! We came to share some treats with ya!

Lancelot: Ah, (Captain). It seems that you all have been enjoying yourselves.

Vyrn: You bet we have!

Vyrn: Wait, hold up!

Black Cat: ...

Lyria: It's that black cat! I thought it disappeared!

Lancelot: Haha, so did I. But then she suddenly showed up again when I changed into these clothes.

Vyrn: Huh? Does that mean that she's the outfit's familiar or somethin'?

Black Cat: I'm not.

Vyrn: Woah! She spoke!

Black Cat: I just like how these clothes feel. I stayed with them so long that I became used to their magic.

Black Cat: I don't have anywhere else to go and I've taken a liking to Lancelot, so I've decided to live in them. Hope you're happy to have me.

With that, the black cat curls up next to Lancelot and falls asleep.

Lancelot: Haha. She marches to the beat of her own drum, just like any cat I suppose.

Vyrn: Are you okay with this, Lancelot? She doesn't seem dangerous, but...

Lancelot: It's fine. If she says she finds peace by my side, then she should stay as long as she pleases.

Lancelot: (She's just parted ways with the little brothers that she defied death to watch over. Her loneliness will not pass quickly.)

Lancelot: (No, it's rude to guess at her feelings. I'm sorry.)

The black cat gently strikes Lancelot with her long tail as if to assuage his concern.

Lyria: Hehe, you sure have made a cute friend!

Lancelot: I'll have to introduce her to Vane. Oh, I suppose we shouldn't just keep calling her "the black cat." I need to think up a name.

Lancelot: Hmm, what would fit?

Vyrn: You're gonna decide on it, huh? I guess that makes sense, but I'm feelin' kinda worried about it...

Lancelot: Spike... Tiger... Felix... No, I should focus specifically on her appearance...

Lancelot: I know! She's a black cat that showed up on Halloween, so I'll call her Shadowyn!

Vyrn: Isn't that a bit too direct?

Lancelot: No, it's cool! Right, Shadowyn?

Shadowyn lazily stretches her legs and gives Lancelot's legs another satisfied slap with her tail.

Vyrn: Anyway, that sure was a bizarre way to make a friend.

Lancelot: You can say that again. It's given me something else to put in my letter to my parents.

Lancelot: Actually, instead of writing a letter, I should surprise them with a trip home and introduce her in person.

Lancelot: I bet that will surprise them!

Lancelot: Father will probably exclaim that the stories of cat monsters from the east might be true and pepper us with questions... Hehe.

Lyria: Oh dear, Lancelot's making a mischievous face!

Vyrn: Haha, you're right! It looks like he's callin' on his old prankster instincts!

Lancelot: Yeah, I'm getting excited! I know that my mom just sent me some treats...

Lancelot: But that doesn't mean there's any rule against me playing a trick on her anyway, right?

It seems this man has an unexpectedly childish side to him. He resembles my little brothers.

Continuing to wave her tail, Shadowyn silently comments on her new favorite knight's grin.
