The Long-eared Girl
(Captain) and the crew are on a mission to find a fugitive when they run into Leonora, who's been duped into working as the fugitive's bodyguard. When her partner, Jirokichi, becomes infatuated with Vyrn, she joins the crew.
The crew undertakes a mission from Sierokarte to hunt down a fugitive with a price on his head.
But when several clues lead them to a forest and they start searching, they find a bit more than they bargained for.
Girl: Oh! So you guys are the ones pursuing that guy!
Small Animal: Squeak.
Vyrn: What's with this little girl?
Girl: Little girl? Why you... I have a perfectly good name, you know!
Girl: People call me the Rabbit Girl! I am Leonora!
Small Animal: Squeak.
Leonora: You're the fiends looking for my client, right?
Vyrn: Your client? Do you mean the fugitive we're after?
Leonora: That's right! I was hired as his bodyguard! I'll have you know that I'm a professional warrior and ninja!
Leonora: And the way I heard it, he was falsely accused!
Vyrn: No way! And where exactly did you hear that?
Leonora: To let you escape would be an affront against justice! Prepare to be punished!
Leonora: Feel the bite of my icy blade!
Katalina: Wait! We have no intention of fighting you!
Katalina gets out the wanted poster and shows the description of the fugitive to Leonora.
Leonora: And what's this? The counterfeit wanted poster made to frame my client?
Katalina: No. This is an authentic wanted poster. Your client has committed countless crimes, and there's a mountain of evidence against him.
Leonora: Say what now? Irrefutable evidence? Hey! What are these people talking about?
Fugitive: Damn! Don't reveal my location!
Vyrn: There's the criminal! So you were hiding over there, huh?
Fugitive: Ugh! No point in trying to hide now!
Vyrn: Hey! Don't you dare run off!
Small Animal: ...
Fugitive: Stay away from me, you little monster!
Vyrn: Wait! You think we're gonna let you get away? Let's get him, (Captain)!
Small Animal: ...!
Thanks to the hard work of the crew, the fugitive is captured.
Fugitive: Damn it! Let go of me!
Leonora: Were you lying to me all along?
Fugitive: Heh! Of course! And you were dumb enough to fall for it!
Vyrn: What did you say? How dare you!
Leonora: Ha-ha! You're busted now, so whatever!
Vyrn: Hey... This is no laughing matter.
Leonora: Let's haul him in and close this case!
Small Animal: Squeak.
Katalina: I've been wondering about this for a while, but what's the deal with that animal you've got with you?
Small Animal: Squeak?
Katalina: Oh, how cute! Tee-hee!
Leonora: This is my partner, Jirokichi! We've been together for a long time.
Vyrn: Huh? This weasel...
Leonora: Whoa! What's the matter, little buddy?
Jirokichi: Squeak!
Vyrn: Ha-ha! That tickles!
Katalina: What a combo...
Katalina: It's just so adorable!
Leonora: Wait a minute... Is my partner smitten with that lizard?
Jirokichi: Squeak!
Leonora: Ha-ha! A weasel falling in love with a lizard... Now that's funny!
Vyrn: Ahem! I'll have you know that I have no intention of being romantically involved with a weas—
Leonora: Awesome! I've decided! We're going with you!
Vyrn: Say what?
Leonora: Ha-ha! I'm not about to stand in the way of my partner's love affair!
Leonora: And we won't be any trouble. I promise!
Leonora: I'm a pro when it comes to battles! People call me the Ninja Rabbit Girl!
Vyrn: Say something, (Captain)!
- Vyrn here is an ignoramus.
- Where will the ceremony be?
Choose: Vyrn here is an ignoramus.Leonora: Good thing my partner doesn't sweat the details!
Choose: Where will the ceremony be?Vyrn: Hmm... In our good ol' hometown of course... But Auguste would be real sweet too...
Continue 1Vyrn: Wait, hold on a sec! What are you trying to do to me, (Captain)?
Leonora: Ha-ha! I'm so happy for you, Jirokichi!
Leonora: And I'm looking forward to traveling with you, Boss!
Katalina: Hee-hee... So you two are going to live happily ever after then.
Vyrn: Wait just a minute!
Thus the Grandcypher becomes livelier than ever.
But how the relationship between Vyrn and Jirokichi will turn out is a story for another time.
Ninjas on the Move
As the crew explores a town, Leonora announces that she's going to the forest and later dodges questions about why. Monsters suddenly appear, and the crew is forced to fight.
As the crew explores a town, Leonora suddenly announces that she will be going to the forest.
The crew learns that the forest is full of monsters and quickly runs after her as she dashes off.
Vyrn: Whew... Finally caught up.
Leonora: Huh? You guys came here after us?
Jirokichi: Squeak.
Katalina: Of course we did... You had us worried.
Vyrn: What are you up to anyway? Don't you know there are monsters in this forest? You shouldn't be here alone!
Leonora: I-I have some things I need to do! And I really don't want to drag you all into this...
Vyrn: What? You mean things you can't tell us about?
Monster: Groar!
Vyrn: What did we tell you? Here they come!
Leonora: Bring it on! I'll make dog food out of anything that stands in the way of my partner's romance!
Leonora: Feel the bite of my icy blade!
Ninjas on the Move: Scene 2
After (Captain) and company defeat the monsters, they realize there's a bounty on them and head back. There, thugs are attacked by more monsters as they try to take the bounty for themselves. Leonora says she owes them, so the crew rushes to their aid.
Vyrn: So where are we heading?
Katalina: Hmm... It doesn't seem like we really have a destination.
Leonora: I can't really tell you right now, but I'll explain when we get there!
Vyrn: Hmm...
Leonora: What's wrong?
Vyrn: Um... There's something bugging me about the monsters from earlier.
Leonora: Did they remind you of an old girlfriend or something?
Lyria: What? I didn't know you had any old girlfriends! Is it true, Vyrn?
Vyrn: Of course not!
Katalina: You know, I just remembered something. I'm pretty sure there was a bounty on those monsters...
Vyrn: Seriously? That means we could get a reward for them! We've got to head back, (Captain)!
Thug 1: Heh-heh... It's a good thing we made those skyfarers head this way!
Thug 2: Ha-ha! We'll get a handsome reward when we cash in this bounty!
Leonora: Oh! You're the ones who taught me about this forest!
Thug 1: Wha? They came back!
Vyrn: What the... Hey! You guys waited for us to beat the monsters so you could take the bounty for yourselves?
Thug 2: Heh! No point hiding it now!
Leonora: Ha-ha! You got us good!
Vyrn: Hey... This is no time to be laughing...
Monster: Groar!
Thug 1: What in the?
Thug 2: Help us!
Katalina: That's apparently the leader of the monsters we beat earlier!
Leonora: Let's help 'em, Boss! I owe them!
Ninjas on the Move: Scene 3
(Captain)'s crew saves the thugs. They apparently told Leonora where to find good apples, and Jirokichi gives one to Vyrn as a token of love.
And so (Captain)'s crew saves the thugs.
They swear never to try and take someone else's reward again, and run off.
Vyrn: So why did we come here anyway?
Vyrn: Huh? What do you have there?
Vyrn: An apple? It is! This is for me?
Jirokichi: Squeak!
Leonora: She told me she really wanted to get you a gift...
Leonora: Then I remembered that you like apples...
Leonora: So we went looking for some good apples, and those guys from earlier told us about this place!
Vyrn: Ha-ha! This is tasty, all right!
Leonora: So you like it? Good for you, Jirokichi!
Jirokichi: Squeak!
Leonora: Aw... I'm so happy! My partner got a boyfriend!
Vyrn: Excuse me? Boyfriend? You better not be talking about me!
Leonora: Ha-ha! Of course I am! That present was a confession of love!
Jirokichi: Squeak!
Leonora: Jirokichi, I'm so glad he accepted your feelings!
Lyria: Wow! Congratulations, Vyrn!
Katalina: Hee-hee... You'll definitely live happily ever after.
Vyrn: Wait just a minute!
And so Vyrn and Jirokichi's relationship takes a baby step forward.
But the story of how their relationship develops will have to wait for another day.
Ninja vs Samurai
(Captain) and company accompany Jin as he heads out to answer a challenge from Leonora. Though the Harvin wishes for a duel between ninja and samurai, the crew turns it into a battle of words instead of weapons. Jin and Leonora end up forming a friendship over the experience.
It is a fine day on the Grandcypher. Having received a letter from a unknown sender, Jin sits with his head in his hands, perplexed.
Jin: Hrm, who would do such a thing...
Vyrn: Huh? You're not lookin' too swell, Jin. Everything okay?
Jin: Ah, Vyrn... I've received a letter of challenge, and I have no idea who it could have come from.
Lyria: What! A letter of challenge?
Jin: Indeed, here it is...
On it, in a childish scrawl, is a single line: “We shall wager our pride in a fight to the death!”
Vyrn: C'mon... this is a bunch of chicken scratch. You sure some kid didn't write this?
Jin: But... it seems like such a serious letter. There must be some meaning in it. I musn't be careless.
Lyria: W-wait, Jin... Are you really thinking of going to this dueling site?
Jin: Don't worry. All I need to do is clear up a little misunderstanding. Nothing bad will happen.
Lyria: B-but, Jin! You can't know that for sure!
Vyrn: Yeah! It could be a trap or something. We'll come with you, just to be safe!
Jin: I would be grateful... Perhaps you and your friends should come along, (Captain).
And so the party make their way to the site written in the letter.
Jin: Hrm... It seems we've arrived ahead of the mysterious challenger.
Vyrn: Yeesh... It was probably just some kid playing a prank, right?
Lyria: Hehe. But still... it's good that nothing happened.
Jin: Hehe. Indeed, Lyria. Shall we get back to the ship?
But just as they prepare to leave...
Leonora: Why, hullo there! If it isn't the great samurai Jin! Oh, how long I've waited for this day!
Jirokichi: Squeak!
Jin: What? Leonora... it was you who wrote the letter?
Leonora: Oh, for the love of... I could've sworn Jirokichi and I'd signed that darned thing...
Lyria: Um... Oh... There they are! It looks like two names, I think? But yup! They're right there!
Vyrn: Oh, geez... Didn't anyone ever teach you how to write?
Leonora: No need to worry! I've no need of a letter now that Jin has arrived!
Leonora: But wait... dear fellows! There must be a reason for you to have come with him...
Leonora: Perhaps you could bear witness to our battle?
Jirokichi: Squeak!
Jin: Gah... W-wait just one minute! Would you care to explain why we're fighting in the first place?
Leonora: Oh? I've my pride as a ninja and you've your own as a samurai, Jin... We must prove once and for all which is the strongest!
Jin: You wish to fight me for that? We need prove nothing... There's no need for our pride to turn to bloodshed.
Leonora: Don't you dare belittle my conviction! I'll not hear it! This is a pretty big deal to me, I'll have you know! Now unsheathe your sword and be quick about it!
Jirokichi: Squeak!
Jin: My goodness... (Is there no way I can get out of this?)
Lyria: Oh, this is bad... What should we do, (Captain)?
- A good thump ought to do it, Jin.
- How about you shout it out?
Choose: A good thump ought to do it, Jin.Jin: What a thing to say, (Captain)! This is no time for japery!
Vyrn: Yeah! Why don't you just... um... give proclamations or something?
Jin: ...!
A battle of proclamations... That could be just the thing to pique Leonora's interest!
Choose: How about you shout it out?Jin: And neither of us would have to suffer any injury!
Continue 1Vyrn: All righty! I'll take care of this!
Leonora: Well then? I do hope you're prepared, Jin!
Vyrn: Hold up! Jin'll give you a battle—one without weapons. Whaddya say? I think Jirokichi here knows what I'm talking about. Right?
Jirokichi: Squeak!
Leonora: Oh? A battle of proclamations, is it?
Jirokichi: Squeak!
Leonora: What's that, Jirokichi? You approve of Mr. Lizard's proposal?
Jirokichi: Squeak!
Leonora: I see... Then we shall wield our proclamations! The ninja versus the samurai!
Jin: Whew... (Vyrn... Jirokichi... I am in your debt!)
Leonora: And you lot... you shall serve as the judges!
And so the battle began, words flying like so many arrows.
Leonora: Hear, hear! Be prepared to feel the bite of my icy blade!
Leonora: I am Leonora... though I am known to many as Rabbit Girl! Now, Jin! What say you?
Jin: Hrm, I seem to be at a loss for words... I am Jin... the Roaming Ronin! Does that sound about right, (Captain)?
Leonora: Oh, criminy... What in blazes is that supposed to mean? And you could stand to look a bit more into it!
Jin: Apologies... I can't say I've ever given any thought to something like this, let alone done it...
Leonora: I see... I suppose we've gone and put the cart before the horse.
Jin: If you'd just give me a bit of time... I promise I'll work hard to become a worthy opponent...
Leonora: Hear, hear! In that case, I'll take you under my own wing!
Jin: Thank you... I would be honored, Leonora!
Leonora: You're in good hands, Jin! First thing's first! We must find a proclamation fit for you!
Jirokichi: Squeak!
And in a moment, a battle of words turns into a rather odd apprenticeship.
Jin: Jin... My name is Jin. By justice shall I live and by justice shall I die... A ronin wandering this transient world.
Jin: Though poor in gold, I am rich in spirit. For the sake of the world, for the sake of the people, I pledge to live a life of honor.
Leonora: Hear, hear! Be prepared to feel the bite of my icy blade!
Leonora: I am Leonora... Though I am known to some as Rabbit Girl!
Jirokichi: Squeak!
Lyria: You're amazing! Now you both have a proclamation! That's so cool!
Vyrn: Yeah! Hard to say which is better. Leonora's is feisty and Jin's is darned smooth!
Leonora: Well done, Jin! I've nothing left to teach you!
Jin: Hehe. It was all thanks to you, Leonora.
Leonora: And that's that! Hrm... I feel as though I'm forgetting something...
Jirokichi: Squeak!
Leonora: Ah! Our battle...
Jin: Ahaha! Leonora... Do you really think it necessary for us to fight it out?
Leonora: Urk... B-but...
Jin: It seems to me it would be better to strive to improve oneself for the respect of an esteemed peer than to engage in needless posturing. Don't you think so?
Leonora: My dear man... What you say makes a fair bit of sense...
Jin: Hehe. And perhaps next time I could repay the favor... What would you say to a lesson in swordwork?
Leonora: Kyahahaha! A fine proposal! I'll be looking forward to it, Jin!
Jirokichi: Squeak!
Vyrn: Welp... Looks like things worked out without anyone getting cut.
Lyria: Yeah! Jin and Leonora make such a good match!
And so Jin and Leonora begin to meet up regularly, each sharing their skills with the other.
Samurai and ninja united. Perhaps it won't take long for the strange duo to be known all over the sky.
