Careless to a Fault
With Zeta having already defeated the primal beast the party's searching for, Beatrix opts to hunt a boar instead. But the boar knocks her Embrasque Sword into the lake, giving her no choice but to go deep diving to find it.
Vyrn: Brr, my tail's freezing up!
So what's it look like, Lyria?
So what's it look like, Lyria?
Lyria: It's faint, but I definitely feel the presence of a primal beast.
Beatrix: All right then! Time to go hunting!
(Captain) and company hear a juicy rumor in a village at the base of a snowy mountain.
Apparently the mountains are home to some sort of primal beast.
At Beatrix's earnest request, the crew sets out for the mountains.
Lyria: Oh my, that's...
Huh?
Huh?
Vyrn: Hm? What's wrong, Lyria?
Lyria: The primal beast's presence just faded away all of a sudden.
Beatrix: What the? How is that even possible?
Lyria: I-I don't know...
Vyrn: For now let's head in the direction that Lyria felt the presence from!
Beatrix: Y-yeah, let's!
Zeta: Hm? Oh, it's (Captain) and crew... Bea too?
Beatrix: Zeta?
Vyrn: Good to see you, Red!
Zeta: What a surprise... Wait, what are you even doing here?
Vyrn: We were about to ask you the same thing!
Zeta: Me? I had something to take care of down that way.
Beatrix: Something you had to take care of...
Beatrix: Ah! You mean the primal beast in these mountains?
Lyria: Oh! S-so the reason its presence faded away—
Zeta: Lemme guess... you guys were after the same thing?
Zeta: Oopsie-daisy! Sorry, but I've already taken it down.
Beatrix: Argh! And that was the perfect chance to prove myself too!
Beatrix: I climb all the way up here in the middle of this freezing weather, and for what? Gah!
Lyria: Ahaha...
Zeta: Ahaha... My fault, Bea...
Vyrn: Brr... Let's head back already.
Vyrn: It's cold and my stomach's grumbling.
Lyria: Yeah, I really want to snuggle up somewhere warm...
Beatrix: What's that? Another primal beast?
Boar: Groink! Groink!
Vyrn: Looks like it's just a regular ol' boar.
Beatrix: Hey, Zeta. Wasn't it you who was gushing about the taste of boar meat?
Zeta: Yeah, I do remember saying that. Wait, don't tell me—
Beatrix: We came this far. Might as well get a boar out of it.
Beatrix: Just look at how plump and juicy it is! And if you think I'm going back empty-handed, you've got another thing coming!
Vyrn: Are you serious? I know you're upset, but do you really gotta do this?
Beatrix: Relax, I can handle a boar myself! I want to beef up for whatever's next anyway.
Zeta: Bea! Eyes up front!
Beatrix: Huh?
Boar: Squeaaal!
The boar sends Beatrix flying into a nearby tree.
Beatrix: Ngh... Urgh... You're gonna regret that!
The impact sends the snow piled atop the tree crashing down on her.
Beatrix: Aaagh!
Lyria: Yikes! Oh my gosh, Beatrix!
Zeta: Oh crud, Bea!
Sigh, don't you ever learn?
Sigh, don't you ever learn?
Zeta: C'mon, guys! Help me dig her out!
(Captain) and company frantically scoop away the snow covering Beatrix.
Beatrix: Damn it! I can't believe that happened to me!
Zeta: You seriously need to watch yourself more carefully out there, Bea!
Beatrix: Grgh! As long as I've got my Embrasque Sword, I can handle this boar no proble—
Beatrix: Oh... crap! Where's my sword?
Beatrix: Don't tell me the boar...
Vyrn: Your sword went flying onto that frozen lake when it slammed into you, Blue!
Beatrix: Well, that's a relief.
I'll just go over and grab—
I'll just go over and grab—
Unfortunately for Beatrix, the Embrasque Sword lands tip first in the ice... which cracks open, sending the sword into the freezing water.
Beatrix: ...
Lyria: I guess it's at the bottom of the lake now... What should we do?
Beatrix: Get it back of course!
Zeta: And how do you plan on doing that?
Beatrix: By diving in there! How else?
Vyrn: Are you serious? Do you know how cold the water is? And you're barely gonna be able to move with your armor on!
Beatrix: I'll be fine! I brought my swimsuit along!
Beatrix: I'm gonna go change, so just hold on a sec.
The crew waits for Beatrix as she goes off to the forest for a change of dress.
Falling snow begins to accumulate on their heads as they wait.
She sure is taking her sweet time. Maybe I should go take a look.
Kept you waiting, huh. Heheh, don't I look amazing?
Wow! You look incredible!
Heh... Ever the fashionista, Bea.
Haha! You can say that again! This is my favorite swimwear you're looking at here!
Vyrn: But, Blue, why would you bring a swimsuit out to this freezing mountain in the first place?
Beatrix: Hahah! I figured something like this might happen, so I made sure to come prepared!
Vyrn: Wow, I can't even imagine the sort of situation you were cooking up in your mind...
Beatrix: Wh-what does it matter? It's coming in handy now!
Zeta: Bea, are you seriously considering jumping into the water in that getup?
Beatrix: You bet I am! No way I'm going back without my Embrasque Sword!
Beatrix eagerly dips her feet into the lake.
Beatrix: Eeeyoouucherz!
Lyria: Beatrix? I-I don't think I've ever heard a scream like that before...
Beatrix: I was just psyching myself up! I've gotta be ready in mind, body, and soul!
Beatrix: A-all right, I'm ready! Here goes!
Beatrix: Hey, no shoving, okay?
No. Shoving. Period.
No. Shoving. Period.
Choose: So you want me to shove you?
Beatrix: No! I said no shoving!
Beatrix: I'm not just saying that either!
Beatrix: Shove me and I'll cut you down!
Zeta: Sure, sure...
Zeta: Hurry it up already. The crew's waiting on you.
Beatrix: Tsk, I don't need you to tell me that!
Beatrix: It's fine. I'll be okay!
Beatrix: It's not cold at all! I just have to imagine myself in a sauna here!

After much hesitation Beatrix dips her feet into the water again. But she is clearly not ready for the world of pain when the ice-cold water instantly robs her of all bodily heat.
Beatrix: It's freezing!
Beatrix: Whoops...
Beatrix jumps back so fast that she slips and falls into the lake.
Beatrix: Gaaagh!
Beatrix: Gasp... Wheeze... Ngh... It's so cold... it hurts!
Beatrix: Argh... Ungh... My body's... freezing! Aaah!
Beatrix: Hngh... I-I can't take it anymore...
Lyria: Ah, watch your step! There's an ice patch over there!
Beatrix: Huh? Ack!
Beatrix: Aaiiee!
Beatrix: I slipped again... Oow... Agh, ungh!
Vyrn: Blue! Just go for the sword!
Beatrix: L-like this?
Vyrn: Might as well get it over with instead of drawing out the pain!
Lyria: I'm rooting for you, Beatrix!
Beatrix: A-all right! I've got this!
Beatrix dives into the depths of the lake.
Vyrn: Uh, guys? She's been down there a while...
Lyria: Oh no. Beatrix...
The crew grows restless as Beatrix fails to resurface from the depths of the lake.
Zeta: Bea has overcome every challenge she's encountered. And I'm sure this one will be no different...
Zeta: She'll be fine.
(Or she'll be an ice cube at the bottom of the lake...)
(Or she'll be an ice cube at the bottom of the lake...)
Vyrn: I just hope you're right...
Vyrn: Brr, talk about cold! What was that just now?
Lyria: Yikes! The lake just exploded!
Zeta: B-Bea!
Beatrix: Huff, puff, pant, wheeze...
Vyrn: Blue, you're back! And not a popsicle!
Lyria: Whew, what a relief!
Zeta: Bea! How are you holding up?
Beatrix: ...
Vyrn: Uh-oh!
Beatrix: Uugh... so... cold... I can't feel my body anymore...
Beatrix: I could use a nap...
Zeta: Bea, no! Falling asleep here would be a death sentence! Wake up and smell the pine trees!
Beatrix: Ngh... Mom... Dad... Are you here... to take me—
Lyria: Eep! No! Stay with us, Beatrix!
Beatrix loses consciousness, but the expression on her face is one of genuine accomplishment.
The crew frantically tries to nurse her back to health.
