Happy Birthday Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Hey Captain! Happy birthday. It's your day to shine. This day only comes once a year, so let's go all out. I hope you enjoy today... And that you can laugh merrily all the way until next year!
2	✔	Hey, (Captain)! Happy birthday! Time sure flies. It's already been a year since your last big day. I want to thank you for all you've done for me since I've met you. And I'm glad I have the chance to celebrate this day with you. Now, while I know you're not a Zeyen believer like I am, I just want to tell you that I'm praying for one thing only. That you'll have another year in happiness and in health.
3	✔	(Captain), happy birthday! That's another year we've spent together. A lot sure has happened. And not all of it was good. Yet here you are smiling away without a care in the world. That kindness about you is your strength... Seeing that part of you makes me glad I came along for the ride. Things might not be so easy in the coming year either. But I hope you'll be able to smile again like you are right now. I'll be doing what I can to make sure that happens.
4	✔	Dahaha! You're looking hale and hearty! You're practically glowing! Judging by the expression on your face, this has been a good year for you, hasn't it? Guess my prayers were answered then. I'll keep on praying for clear skies and smooth sailing for you, (Captain). And I'll be here for you every step of the way, no matter what the skies throw atcha. Let's give it everything we've got, (Captain). And happy birthday.
5	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain)! Let's get this party started! Everyone on the ship's itching to celebrate! All the fine cuisine's already lined up! What's gonna be different this year as that I'll doing double duty: serving and eating up a storm. I love eating just as much as I enjoy watching others happily fill their mouths. I can see you're also the type who finds joy in sharing with others. Being around you all these years has taught me that much. That's why we're all going to relish in the festivities and make this a day to remember!

Happy New Year Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Hey, (Captain)! Happy New Year! I invited a few other folks to help make some celebratory New Year's grub. A good year starts on day one, I always say. And if I'm gonna make it into the belly-battle record books again this year, I gotta start now. Bwahahaha! Let's make this a great year, (Captain)!
2	✔	Happy New Year, (Captain)! Hey now, don't be shy! I ain't about to start another food fight! Lemme tell ya, that could get real sticky real quick. Let's hold off on the food fightin' for now and enjoy us a New Year's meal together!
3	✔	Ooh, (Captain)! Happy New Year! Good to see you around. If you've got some time to kill, whaddya say to walking around that town with me? Word is they've got a belly-battle planned. It's sort of a New Year's thing for them. And I can't just sit idly by while a belly-battle takes place! It's up to me to liven things up! I'll be able to perform that much better if you're there to cheer me on. Actually, why don't you join too? Dahaha! Just kidding. No pressure if you're not interested.
4	✔	Yo, (Captain)! Happy New Year! I'm headed over to the orphanage. You wanna come along? What for? Come on now. Who else is gonna give the kids their New Year's pocket money? They look up to me as a heroic skyfarer, so I've gotta play my part! Whoops! Almost forgot. Hold out your hand, (Captain). Here's your pocket money. Dahaha!
5	✔	Happy New Year, (Captain). Let's make this a good one. Care to tell me any resolutions you have in mind? A lot of time's passed since I first joined the crew. People tend to get lax with things they've gotten used to. The start of a new year seems like the perfect time to get things back on track. Dahaha. I don't mean to lecture, but I guess that is part of my job as a monk! So... What's your resolution this year?

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Well, if it isn't (Captain)! What're you doin' here? You've got a gift for me, eh? It smells... like chocolate. Ah! It's that Valentine's custom! And here I thought you just ran from a belly battle competition! Dahahaha. Just kidding. Thanks, (Captain).
2	✔	Hey there, (Captain). You wouldn't happen to have any Valentine's Day treats for me, would ya? Hm? Bahaha! Relax, I'm only joking! I mean, I may be a big eater but I didn't mean for you to take that seriously. Besides, it's your thoughts that count more than anything else, right? Thanks!
3	✔	Oh right, today's Valentine's! Thanks for the gift every year! You know, I'd rather preserve your treats as keepsakes rather than eat them. I probably sound like a weirdo for saying that... Dahahaha! It'd be a crying shame if I actually did do that! So rest assured—I'll be savoring every piece! Thanks, (Captain)!
4	✔	Dahaha! These chocolates look delicious! Wait. Did you make these yourself, (Captain)? Now that is a surprise. They look so fancy, I thought for sure you'd bought them from some famous chocolatier! I can't wait to try these out. Maybe I'll brew up some coffee so I can really savor them!
5	✔	Hey, (Captain)! You see me take away that win? Valentine's proved the perfect occasion for holding that eating contest... And I walked away as champion! Though I can still smell the chocolate wafting from my body... So have you got any chocolate for me this year? Dahaha! Of course I can handle more! Who do you think I am? Besides, I make sure to savor any goodies I get from you, (Captain).

White Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Hey, (Captain). I've been looking for you! It being White Day and all, I thought I'd give you this. Hm? It's too much to hold? Dahahaha! That's just all the more for you to enjoy! Though this is hardly enough to fully express my gratitude. Anyways let's start with this.
2	✔	Yo, (Captain)! Happy White Day! This right here's for you, as thanks for everything you do. Sorry, that's all of it... Things are kinda tight this year. I might've been a little too generous last year actually! Hahaha! The secret ingredient is... Actually, I should probably stop right there, heh. Anyways, thanks for everything again, (Captain)!
3	✔	(Captain), go ahead and take this White Day present! I thought long and hard about what to get you this year. I considered something more permanent at first, but... I can't get enough of that look on your face when you're eating something tasty! So I've got you some mighty fine chocolates again. Hope you like them.
4	✔	Hey, (Captain), do you have a minute? I wanna bring you somewhere. Where? Come on, now, don't be rude. It's White Day, y'know. I've got all sortsa things planned to show you my appreciation. So just come with me and stop overthinking things. You're about to enjoy some real Redluck-style hospitality! Before we get started though, have you eaten? Dahaha! You're starved? Perfect! Then let's get this party started!
5	✔	Here you go, (Captain). Yep, it's my White Day gift to you. Dahaha! I know it's become a yearly tradition for us... But seeing how it brightens you up puts a smile on my face too! It gives me reason to exercise care when selecting a present for you. Thanks for a being a good sport as always, (Captain).

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Trick or treat, (Captain)! Candy, huh? You definitely prepared accordingly. I'm gonna go trick-or-treating around the ship. Wanna tag team it, (Captain)? Watching the kids have fun is all well and good, but Halloween only comes around once a year. Might as well enjoy it too, I say.
2	✔	(Captain). A moment? What do you think would be a good costume for me? Everyone seems to be enjoying Halloween. It'd be a shame if I didn't join in the fun. So what do you say, (Captain)? Will you help me pick a costume?
3	✔	You're here too, (Captain)? I've got a bucketful of candy ready for any number of trick-or-treaters. Right here, see? Oh, shoot! I might've handed out too many to the kids earlier! Dahahaha! What now? Guess I'd better prep myself for a few tricks! It's not exactly a bad problem to have though. Well then, (Captain). What trick do you have in mind for me?
4	✔	Hey, (Captain), can I borrow you for a sec? I've got my candy ready for the trick-or-treaters, but would you mind doing a taste test for me? Whaddya think? How is it? All right! If you say it's good, then I'm sure I can take that to the bank! Thing is, I just chose candy that I like. But I prefer my treats a little more savory, so I was worried the kids wouldn't like 'em! Whoops! I didn't mean that you were a kid, (Captain). You gotta admit, I've got a few years on you. Aw, c'mon now, don't pout. Dahaha!
5	✔	Oh, (Captain). Your face is just screaming "trick or treat." Unfortunately, I don't have any treats prepared this year. And we both know what that means... Dahahaha! Boy, do you look surprised. But relax, I'm only kidding. I just wanted to see what kind of trick you might have up your sleeve. Sorry for startling you. I have oodles of candy here, so take as much as you'd like.

Happy Holidays Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Ah, (Captain), eh? Ready to celebrate the holidays, I take it? No matter how old I get, today never gets any less exciting to me. Why, you ask? Because everyone just looks like they're having so much fun. Okay! Let's make tonight's feast extra festive! I'm gonna work hard to give the whole crew a holiday feast like nothing they've seen before!
2	✔	(Captain), could I ask you something? I was thinking of dressing up as Santa Claus this year... What do you think? If I dyed my hair and my beard white, it could work, right? Oh, come on. I want to give the kids something to smile about. I could throw a feast like I did last year, but I thought I'd step things up a notch. Pretty good idea, huh? Hm? Ahahaha! Don't worry, you'll get your present along with the rest of them!
3	✔	Hm, I dunno... Ah, (Captain). Guess you found me, huh. Since you're here, I've got something to discuss. I was wondering how we could make this an entertaining night for everyone. We had fantastic grub, and the kids all raved about my Santa Claus outfit last year. What I'd give to see those smiles again... ... You know, I don't exactly have to come up with something new to please everyone. It's you who made me realize that. We must never forget our humble beginnings! All right, time to go shopping for groceries. I've got a ton of cooking to do later. That includes my own share too, of course! And I eat a lot!
4	✔	Well, well. You signed up for this eating competition too, eh? That should make this a holiday belly-battle to remember! Hm? You thought this was gonna be a chicken challenge? I can see why you'd think that, but nope! Tonight's a holiday cake-eating battle! Dahaha! Cake is a pretty heavy food, so this is no amateur rumble!
5	✔	Oh, (Captain)? What brings you here? Me? I'm giving my stomach a little R & R. This might be the best party we've had this year. Good food, good friends... Smiles and cheery conversation everywhere I look. And best of all, a satisfied stomach. Didn't have you fun too, (Captain)? Dahahaha! Then I've nothing more to say!

Belly Battles

(Captain) and company meet Redluck, a competitive eater and Zeyen monk. He saves a boy from some thugs, but the boy mistakes him for a skyfarer. Unwilling to let the boy down, Redluck joins the crew.

---

While walking the streets of a town they just reached, (Captain) and company hear the sound of cheering.

Lyria: Whoa! What's that?

Vyrn: Whatever it is, it sounds exciting! Let's go take a look, (Captain)!

Commentator: Oho! The battle of the bellies is reaching its climax! But which of these monstrous eaters will have the last belly laugh?

A number of men stand before a table on a stage that has been set up in the town square.

On the table is an absurdly huge amount of food, and the men are shoving it into their mouths.

???: Nom nom... Gulp!

???: Next!

Spectator: Wow! He's really putting it away!

Vyrn: What in the skies is going on? Everybody's really pumped up, but I don't get it.

Spectator: Huh? So this is your first eating contest?

Vyrn: Eating what?

Spectator: Eating contest! It's a battle with just one rule: whoever eats the most wins! This one's nearly over. Watch!

Commentator: Oho! Looks like the last challenger bit off more than he can chew! And we have our winner!

Commentator: He's done it again! Always hungry, never satisfied, cooler than his sunglasses... It's Redluck!

In response to the commentator's announcement, a huge cheer rises from the crowd.

???: Rawrrr!

???: Another day, another victory! For me! My iron stomach is invincible!

Commentator: We've come to expect nothing less from the dude of food! Is there anyone in existence who has a belly big enough to beat you?

Redluck: Ha-ha! And that was nothin' but an appetizer!

The crowd explodes again in response to the champion's hearty laughter.

Lyria: Oh, what a popular guy!

Redluck: I need more! Is there nobody strong enough to face me, the eater-in-chief?

Redluck: Can you even call that a battle? Ha! That wasn't even enough to wake me up!

Vyrn: Whoa... There's something a little scary about that guy!

Spectator: I guess so... But he's actually a monk.

Vyrn: Really? That burly dude?

Redluck: If anyone here has what it takes to eat me under the table, step up now!

Redluck: I'll accept any challenger!

Vyrn: Hmm... All that eating coupled with that wild shouting...

Vyrn: He sure doesn't look like any monk I've ever seen!

Lyria: But he made that food look delicious! It was so exciting!

Vyrn: Well, at least you have your own way of looking at things.

Lyria's stomach suddenly rumbles.

Lyria: Heh-heh. Now I'm hungry too.

Vyrn: What a shock. I guess we should go find somewhere to eat.

The crew leaves the plaza and wanders around, looking for a decent place.

Thug 1: Hey! What are you doing, you little brat!

Boy: Eek!

Thug 2: You again! I'm sick of you holdin' us back!

Lyria: Oh no! Look over there!

Vyrn: We have to stop them, (Captain)!

Just as (Captain) and the crew start to run over, one of the thugs pushes the boy.

Thug 1: Heh-heh. We got no food for worthless trash like you!

Boy: Aahh!

Redluck: Whoopsie!

The massive man pops out of nowhere and supports the small boy.

Lyria: Oh, look! It's the guy who won the eating contest earlier!

Redluck: I've eaten a bad egg or two in my time, but you guys take it to another level.

Thug 2: You got a problem, lowlife?

Redluck: You callin' me a lowlife from all the way down there, filth? That's rich!

Thug 1: Shut it! You think you're a big man just 'cause you got a big belly?

Redluck: Oho, so you want a fight, huh? Not exactly my favorite thing, but I don't mind the occasional scrap.

The towering competitive eater tilts his head to the side with a satisfying crack and then gazes down at the thugs.

Thug 2: Ugh...

The thugs recoil from his gaze, clearly not up to the challenge.

Redluck: Now get lost before I get mad.

Thug 1: L-let's beat it!

Redluck: Ha! Bunch of small fry.

Vyrn: I don't get this guy. He doesn't seem like a monk at all! He's scarier than his appetite!

Lyria: Ha-ha... But he did save that boy.

The crew shrinks back a little, but the boy does not. He instead looks in admiration at Redluck, his eyes twinkling.

Boy: Wow! You're Redluck!

Boy: Thanks for helping me! I just knew you were cool!

Lyria: Hee-hee... It seems like that kid is a big fan!

Boy: Huh? Who are you guys? Are you friends of Redluck?

Lyria: Eek! Us? Well, uh...

1. Total besties.
2. Nope...

Choose: Total besties.

Redluck: Huh!

Vyrn: Eek! (Captain)! Don't just blurt out the first thing that pops into your head!

Redluck: What are you tryin' to pull?

Vyrn: Wait! We're just a passing airship crew...

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Nope...

Boy: Huh? Really?

Vyrn: Yeah, we're an airship crew. We're just passing through.

Continue 1

Boy: Seriously? An airship crew?

Vyrn: Whoa! Don't scare me like that!

Boy: Wow! You're skyfarers! That's almost Redluck levels of cool!

Boy: When I grow up, I wanna be big and strong like him! And then I wanna become a skyfarer!

Lyria: Hee-hee. Being a skyfarer is this kid's dream!

Redluck: Hey, boy. That's a pretty big dream you've got there...

Redluck: But how is the life you're livin' gonna help you reach it?

Boy: I...

Vyrn: Hey, why did you say that?

Redluck: Hmm...

Redluck picks up the boy with one massive arm.

Vyrn: Hey! Hey, big guy! What do you think you're doing?

Redluck: Mind your own business. I'm takin' this kid somewhere where he'll be better off, so quit your warbling.

Redluck walks past the crew and out of sight, the boy still in his arms.

That night the crew is discussing which route to take when an unexpected guest arrives.

???: Hey! Is anybody there?

Vyrn: Huh? I think I hear someone. Who could it be?

Redluck: Oh, good. I figured this was the right airship.

Vyrn: Uh-oh! It's the giant from earlier!

Redluck: I thought you might like to know that I left that boy in the care of an orphanage.

Lyria: Huh? An orphanage?

Redluck: He was being used as a gofer by those thugs, so I couldn't just leave him there.

Vyrn: I see. But is there anything else you want, big man?

Redluck: There sure is. You think I can join you on your journey?

Vyrn: Huh? That's a bit sudden!

Redluck: Not really. I'm apparently already a skyfarer.

Vyrn: What is this guy even talking about, (Captain)?

Redluck: So you're the captain? This is actually that boy's doing, at least in a way...

Boy: Wow! I didn't know you're a skyfarer! You're just as cool as cool gets!

Redluck: I'm actually a competitive eater. You know that, boy.

Boy: Yeah, yeah, I know! You're unbeaten in the eatin'!

Redluck: Yep, and it's because my challengers have weak little baby bellies.

Boy: To be a super strong competitive eater and also a skyfarer... That's amazing!

Redluck: I said—

Boy: Heh-heh! You're so cool, Redluck! You never let me down!

Vyrn: Hold it... So you left that kid thinkin' you're a skyfarer?

Redluck: Yep. To make matters worse, as I dropped the boy off, I was surrounded by a swarm of kids who also think I'm a skyfarer.

Redluck: And when I saw their little eyes all brimming with expectation...

Vyrn: Geez... You seem like a different person than the one we saw earlier.

Redluck: Huh? Oh, that.... That was my competitive eater persona you saw.

Vyrn: What's that about? Aren't you meant to be a monk first and foremost?

Redluck: Ah, yes... a Zeyen monk.

Vyrn: Then what in the skies is with this eating contest stuff?

Redluck: Well, I get to eat delicious things for free. Can you really blame me?

Vyrn: That's not very monkish.

Lyria: Um... What do Zeyens believe again?

Redluck: Oh? The finer points of Zeyen teachings might be a little difficult for you, young lady.

Redluck: The basic idea is to comprehend the Astrals' divine plan and bestow their power unto the people.

Lyria: Um...

Redluck: It's difficult, I know... It all boils down to learning from the past for a happier and brighter tomorrow.

Vyrn: Good grief. Like anyone needs to be preached at by a food-worshippin' monk.

Redluck: Ha-ha! That's exactly the point!

Vyrn: This guy's making less and less sense. Right, (Captain)?

1. I'm eating his stories up.
2. I want to join an eating contest.

Choose: I'm eating his stories up.

Redluck: Are you, really? Feels good to hear a captain say that!

Lyria: Hee-hee! If (Captain) thinks you're okay, then it's already decided!

Go to "Continue 2"

Choose: I want to join an eating contest.

Vyrn: What? Are you serious?

Redluck: Ha-ha! You're a funny one, Captain!

Vyrn: Captain? So you've already decided you're one of us...

Lyria: Hee-hee! I think Redluck is a good person!

Continue 2

Vyrn: Then that's it! Welcome to the crew!

Redluck: I look forward to helpin' out!

Thus the monk with a bottomless pit of a stomach joins the crew.

With Redluck as their friend, (Captain) and the crew's journey will definitely be more lively from now on.

Back to top

Eat and Be Merry

The crew hears about a goup of bandits north of a small town and goes to investigate. Redluck hopes to find a certain family there, but they're nowhere in sight. Before the crew can ask him what's up, the bandits attack.

---

Vyrn: Hmm... There's not much going on here, is there?

Redluck: Nope, and that's just gonna make it all the more exciting.

Vyrn: So you're seriously going to do it here too?

Redluck: Of course!

(Captain) and the crew have reached a quiet town out in the country.

Redluck plans to hold an eating contest here.

Redluck: Don't act so surprised. I've held a bunch of eating contests with you guys already. I'm a competitive eater, you know.

Vyrn: Yeah, but aren't you actually a monk?

Lyria: Hee-hee... And now you're a skyfarer too!

Redluck: That's right, I'm a competitive eatin' skyfarer! Oh, and I guess I'm a monk.

Vyrn: Hey! Whaddya mean you guess you're a monk?

The town has little in the way of entertainment, so the residents welcome Redluck's idea.

Many people show up at the battle, and they cheer for the competitors.

Redluck: Nom nom!

Contestant: L-look at the way he eats! I can't eat another bite...

Redluck: Ha-ha! Bring me another plate!

Commentator: Redluck doesn't just win—he wins big! It's all over but the crying, folks!

Redluck: Rawrrr!

Redluck: Can't anyone out there put up a fight?

Vyrn: Man, I still can't believe how much he can put away. And—

Redluck: Ha-ha! No takers? I'll even give myself a handicap.

Redluck: I'm not even full yet! It's time for the next round! Anybody? Come eat with the beast!

Vyrn: Ugh... It's like he's a different person when he's doing this eating contest thing.

Redluck: ...

Lyria: Huh?

Vyrn: What's wrong?

Lyria: Um... Redluck is acting a little strange.

Vyrn: Really? I guess he does seem kinda restless.

Lyria: I wonder what's wrong. It's almost like he's searching for someone.

Townsperson: Hey, Redluck!

Redluck: Yes?

Townsperson: You really devoured your opponents! I've never seen an eating contest before, but it was so exciting!

Redluck: Thanks. You should join in next time.

Redluck: You mind if I ask you a question?

Redluck: There used to be a mother living with her child on the ridge north of the town, right?

Townsperson: Huh? Oh, well...

The man's face falls in response to Redluck's words.

Townsperson: Actually... bandits recently established a stronghold up there.

Townsperson: We haven't heard anything from the family there since the bandits showed up.

Redluck: What?

Vyrn: Hey, big man!

Lyria: I'm sorry, but we overheard your conversation.

Redluck: Oh, it's you two...

Vyrn: What's wrong? We heard something about bandits.

Townsperson: Oh, let me explain.

(Captain) and the others listen to the story about the bandits on the ridge.

Vyrn: I see. We can't just ignore this, (Captain).

Lyria: Yeah, we should go and see if they're okay.

Lyria: Oh no...

The crew arrives at the house only to find it has been ransacked by the bandits.

Vyrn: How awful. I don't see the family anywhere.

Redluck: ...

Ever since they left the town, Redluck has kept silent, wearing a grim expression.

Lyria: Um... Redluck, do you know the people living here?

Redluck: I...

Lyria: Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to pry. You don't have to answer if you don't want to.

Lyria: But you've been lost in thought for a while now, and I was worried.

Lyria: At least let us try to help you!

Redluck: Right, I'm sorry. We're friends. You deserve to know.

Just as Redluck begins to explain, a loud noise reverberates outside.

Vyrn: Whoa! What was that?

Bandit 1: Hey, what do we have here? I wonder where these ones were hidin'.

Bandit 2: Let's get 'em tied up and thrown in with the rest!

Redluck: Ha! That'll be the day. Let's go, (Captain)!

Eat and Be Merry: Scene 2

When Redluck tries to question one of the bandits about the whereabouts of the family, he calls Redluck Daiza. Redluck tells the crew about how the family saved his life, and they storm the bandit hideout.

---

Redluck: Hey, you're still conscious, right?

Bandit 1: Ugh...

Redluck grabs one of the barely conscious bandits by the lapel and interrogates him, his voice icy.

Redluck: Where are the people who lived here?

Bandit 1: G-guh...

Redluck: Answer me! My patience is wearing thin!

Bandit 1: Well, um... Wait... Huh?

As the bandit stares up at Redluck from the ground, his eyes widen in surprise.

Bandit 1: No way... Daiza?

Redluck: ...!

Lyria: Huh? What's a Daiza?

Bandit 1: Damn! I gotta run!

Vyrn: Hey! Where'd he go?

Taking advantage of Redluck's hesitation, the bandit breaks away and escapes in the blink of an eye.

Redluck: Well, that sucked.

Redluck: Sorry about that. Daiza is my name.

Vyrn: Huh? I thought you were called Redluck?

Redluck: That's the name I go by now. On account of all the red I wear, which I'm sure you've noticed.

With a smirk on his face, Redluck begins to talk about his past.

Redluck: When I was a kid, I lived in poverty. Never had enough food. I was always so hungry.

Redluck: I did anything I could just to stay alive. Come to think of it, I was just like that kid we rescued when you and I first met.

Vyrn: Right. You said the thugs were using him as a gofer, right?

Redluck: Yeah. Somehow I managed to survive and grow up by doing that kind of stuff. I was even a bandit myself for a while.

Redluck: I guess that guy knew me from back then. Not that I remember him.

Lyria: Goodness... It sounds like you've been through a lot.

Redluck: You could say that. But the only reason I'm here to tell the tale is because of the people who lived up here.

Redluck tells the story of a poor mother and child who saved him when he collapsed outside their home with near-fatal injuries.

Never asking who he was or where he came from, this humble family nursed Redluck back to health.

Redluck: I still remember how happy they were to see me enjoying the meals they cooked.

Vyrn: Wow! So that's why you decided to become a competitive eater?

Redluck: That's right... Though I've always had quite an appetite, so I guess everybody wins.

Redluck: The old me died that day, and I was reborn.

Redluck: The woman who lived here is also the one who suggested I follow the teachings of Zeyen.

Lyria: Ah! They're the ones who say that our pasts will light the way to a happier future, right?

Redluck: That's right. That's how I came to be as I am now.

Vyrn: Hmm... There's more to you than meets the eye.

Vyrn: Okay, (Captain), let's get after those bandits and save that family!

(Captain) and the crew chase the bandits to their hideout.

Bandit Leader: Huh? Who the heck are you guys?

Redluck: I won't be holding back! Prepare yourselves!

Eat and Be Merry: Scene 3

Redluck saves the family from the bandits and holds another eating contest just for them. The crew notices that he always donates his winnings to charity, and he reveals that he's working for a world where no one ever has to go hungry.

---

(Captain) and the others rescue the people held prisoner in the hideout.

???: Thank you so much! You saved us!

???: Daddy, can we really go now?

???: Yes, we're safe. These people—

???: Huh? I-is that you?

Redluck: Hey there. It's been a while. You've gotten so big.

Lyria: Is this who you were talking about?

Redluck: Yep. He saved my life. And he was only a little tyke back then.

Vyrn: What? How long ago did all this happen?

Redluck: Must be fifteen years now. Looks like you grew up to be a fine man. Is this your daughter?

Redluck's Friend: Yes, that's right. I never thought I'd see you again!

Redluck's Friend: What have you been doing all these years?

Redluck and the man who saved his life spend some time catching up.

Redluck's Friend: An eating contest in town, huh? Sounds like fun. I'm sorry I didn't get to see it.

Redluck: Really? Then we'll just have to hold another!

Vyrn: Are you serious? You sure your body can handle another round of that?

Commentator: And Redluck wins again! He's an eating machine! Can anyone out there beat him?

Redluck: Ha-ha! Anyone's welcome to try! Bring it on!

Girl: Whoa, that guy's amazing!

Redluck's Friend: Right? Amazing... strong... cool... Take your pick!

After watching the second eating contest, the crew resumes its journey.

Lyria: Hee-hee. So, Redluck, will you be donating this prize money to an orphanage too?

Redluck: Oh, darn. You knew, huh?

Vyrn: Heh-heh. It's obvious that you're more than just some food-worshipper.

Lyria: Yeah! We can see it in the way you compete in the eating contest and how you spend your winnings...

Lyria: You're always doing your best to keep the people around you smiling.

Redluck: Heh, if you say so.

Redluck: But my true purpose goes beyond that...

Redluck: I want to make the world a place where no one ever has to starve.

Lyria: That sounds wonderful!

Vyrn: Yeah, it's a great dream!

Redluck: Indeed. And above all...

Redluck: I want to see a tomorrow where plenty of people can eat their fill and laugh merrily!

Redluck's joyous laughter rings out across the clear blue skies.

His dream has become a part of the future (Captain) and the crew are all striving to create.

Pilgrimage

When Redluck meets Sophia, he kneels before her, expressing his gratitude for all the Zeyen faith has done for him. From his story, Sophia realizes that getting lost along her pilgrimage may actually lead to helping more people, which makes her feel much better about all her detours.

---

Many followers of Zeyen go on pilgrimages across the skies.

They consider the remaining scars of the War to be sacred and meet many a skyfarer as they journey between them.

That is how two fellow believers, Sophia and Redluck, coincidentally ended up joining (Captain)'s crew.

Redluck: Could it be... You must be Sophia!

Sophia panics when she sees Redluck addressing her on bended knee on the deck.

Sophia: Ah... Please stand up! There's no need to kneel!

Redluck: That will not do. You are a high priestess of Zeyen, are you not? I am duty bound to honor you.

Sophia: You... You've heard of me?

Redluck: How could I not! You are the granddaughter of the Zeyen archbishop! It is truly an honor to meet you.

Redluck: Gwahahaha! Bless the stars for guiding me here! The two of you are my saviors!

Sophia: But unlike my grandfather, the archbishop, I have never done anything worthy of such praise...

Redluck: You say that, but it's thanks to the teachings of Zeyen that I was able to cut ties with my criminal past.

Still genuflecting, Redluck begins to tell his life story.

He was severely injured during a fight, and saved by a Zeyen acolyte. He's been a changed man ever since.

Sophia: ...

Sophia listens to him intently. When he finishes speaking...

Redluck: That makes you all my saviors. You have shown me the path!

Sophia: No... The credit goes to the mother and child, and you yourself.

Sophia: All I've done out here is get lost... I haven't even finished my pilgrimage yet.

Redluck: That's exactly what I'm so grateful for.

Sophia: Huh?

Redluck: It's because you guys are always taking time away from your pilgrimages to help those of us in need that the number of Zeyen acolytes keeps growing.

Redluck: I was saved by someone you saved, and that's why I'm here today.

Redluck: Haha, by the way... Did you know that the archbishop you look up to so much had an awful sense of direction back in the day?

Sophia: No way! My grandfather?

Redluck: Guess he didn't share that, huh? Word is he took ten times longer than everyone else to get anywhere!

Sophia: My grandfather always focuses on the future and never shares much about his youth...

Redluck: What a shame that is. They say his getting lost all the time actually helped spread the teachings of Zeyen.

Redluck: So do you get it now? It's precisely because pilgrims like you and the archbishop take the scenic route that people like me are saved!

Redluck: Haha. That's why I see you all as my saviors.

Sophia: ...

Redluck: Whoa, it's almost time for the belly-battle! I gotta run!

And with that, Redluck disembarks and dashes toward the town.

Sophia: So grandpa used to be just like me... getting lost and saving people...

Sophia: I was uneasy when I first set out on my pilgrimage alone, but now I feel a bit braver.

Sophia: I'll do my best! It might take years—even decades—but I'll see this pilgrimage to the end!

The most unexpected encounter with Redluck the Zeyen monk ends up teaching Sophia something new about her grandfather.

She has a long way to go before reaching her grandfather's status, but it's reassuring to know that they started out the same way.

Determined to become a Zeyen archbishop one day, Sophia continues her pilgrimage with newfound vigor.
