A Slice of Summer - Chapter 4: Shipwrecked - Episode 4
Lyria, Anna, and Sara can't sleep after everything that's transpired, and Zeta attempts to calm them down with a story. Unfortunately, a monster attack interrupts halfway through, forcing (Captain) and company to spring into action.
Anna: ...
Anna: Hey, Lyria. Still awake?
Lyria: Yeah, I just can't sleep for some reason...
Sara: Me too...
Jin: A lot happened today. After everything you've been through, it's not going to be easy to calm yourself.
Helnar: Talking always helps when you can't sleep. Before you know it, you'll be dozing off.
Sara: ...
Zeta: Hm, I could start by telling a story, I suppose.
Lyria: Would you please, Zeta?
Zeta: Your wish is my command! Now then...
Zeta: This all happened before I joined the Society, back when I was still a knight.
Zeta: I had just enlisted, so I was mostly assigned odd jobs, chores and the like.
Zeta: My colleagues and I were stocking the armory, and I had been assigned to weapon maintenance.
Zeta: There were too many weapons to count, but I eventually settled into a groove.
Zeta: Just was I was getting bored, a colleague told me something. "A well-worn weapon has a mind of its own."
Zeta: That got me thinking. There were weapons in the armory that had been used for executions, way back when.
Zeta: Criminals, traitors, and worse... Those weapons had spilled a lot of blood.
Anna: Gulp...
Zeta: "What do you think happens to a weapon like that?" he asked me. When suddenly—
Lyria: Aiee! Wh-what was that sound?
Jin: I see something moving in the bushes... Monsters!
Narmaya: Here it comes, Jin!
Monster: Groar...
Narmaya's warning comes just as the monster leaps out of the nearby foliage and heads for the cave.
Volenna: Doesn't seem to be scared of the fire. What a pain.
Vyrn: Let's send this guy packing and get to sleep, (Captain)!

Lyria comments that the monster they just fought seemed like it was fighting against its will. Suspecting the leader to be nearby, Lyria finds a thicket where monsters are lying in wait.
Helnar: Geez, at least wait until morning, monster! C'mon!
Narmaya: Are you okay, (Captain)? Nothing hurts? Oh, I'm so relieved to hear that!
Lyria: That monster just now...
Sara: Something wrong, Lyria?
Lyria: Hm, I'm not sure I can explain this properly, but... there was something strange about that monster.
Lyria: How do I put this... It was almost like it had been bullied into attacking us.
Lyria: Like a bigger, meaner monster told it to attack us, and it was just following orders.
Volenna: It was probably forced to fight by the pack leader.
Lyria: Yeah, that's what it felt like...
Lyria continues staring at the thicket, worried that more monsters might leap out at any moment.
Will (Captain) and crew be able to survive and make it back to Venera Beach? Only time will tell.
