The Thrill of Exploration
Mary invites the crew on a treasure hunt. The ever-curious Yuel overhears them discussing it and decides to join in. Unfortunately, all they find is an empty chest. Yuel tries to console a downcast Mary, reminding her that half the fun is in the adventure itself.
Vyrn: Geez... They got you hook, line, and sinker...
Mary: My instincts are telling me this isn't just any old rumor! I can practically taste the treasure already!
Vyrn: I gotta say... I've kinda given up on these "instincts" of yours...
Another peaceful day. Mary returns from town buzzing with excitement.
The story goes that a very special piece of treasure awaits in the caves of a nearby forest...
Mary: Please! I won't even need that much time! I know the rumors are true!
Lyria: Hm... But we're supposed to leave this island soon...
Mary: Is that a no? It'll be worth your while, I promise!
Mary: Yay! Knew I could count on you, (Captain)!
Mary: Aw, c'mon! The race goes to the swift, not the stick in the mud!

Vyrn: Guh... Don't tell me you're really going? It won't be any different from chasin' a windmill...
Yuel: Whoa! Sounds to me like y'all were havin' one juicy conversation...
Lyria: Well... Mary was in town and she heard something about a treasure...
Yuel: Ooh! A treasure hunt? Now that sounds like a real treat!
Mary: I know, right? My treasure alarm is ringing like crazy!
Mary: Hehe... this is the big one! And it's waiting for someone to come and snatch it up!
Yuel: There ya go! What're we standin' around for? We need to get a move on!
Yuel: Let's go! We got ourselves some treasure to find!
Mary: Wha? Wait a minute! You don't even know which forest it is...
Mary: Welp... there she goes. And we need to get moving too. She's gonna go and get herself lost.
Lyria: Hehe... Yuel's always so ready to go.
Vyrn: Gah... guess we don't have a choice. Let's go, (Captain).
And so (Captain) and company make their way into the forest, where no doubt great riches await.
Mary: Hah... Hah... What's with that girl...
Yuel: Wouldja look at that! I mean, take a good gander! Never seen flowers so pretty...
Mary: Hey! Don't just run off! We gotta find that cave!
Yuel: Oh, don'cha worry! I read ya loud and clear! Oh! Hey! Over there! Wonder what that thing is!
Vyrn: Seriously? Do she know what "loud and clear" means? Sure doesn't look like it...
Mary: Hah... What have I gotten myself into... If I'd known she'd be this much trouble, I would've—
Lyria: There, there... I think it's fine! She looks like she's having so much fun!
Mary: Hmm... Maybe she's exactly what we need to lead us to the treasure...
Yuel: Hey, now! There's a creepy old cave down thataway...
Mary: What! What'd you say? Show me where! Now!
Yuel: Thisaway! Smelled seven types of suspicious, y'know!
Mary: This has to be it. The cave...
Yuel: Didn't I tell ya? You think I'm playin' when I'm puttin' in some serious work?
Mary: Grr... There're better ways to find things, if you ask me...
Vyrn: All right! All we need to do now is get in the cave and find that treasure!
Lyria: H-hey! There's a chest at the entrance... but it's empty...
Mary: Huh?
Mary: Of all the... Here I was, totally on the right track...
Though (Captain) and company scour the cave thoroughly, the only thing they find is the empty treasure chest.
Mary: I got no luck at all... First Yuel runs us halfway around the blasted forest, and now someone's gotten to the treasure before I can even see it...
Yuel: Oh, what're ya so slumpy about? You tellin' me ya didn't have three boatloads of fun today?
Mary: Grr... Well, you're not wrong...
Vyrn: Oh, c'mon! Yuel! You're one to talk! You're the one who was doing all the running around!
Yuel: Gyahahaha! By golly, I was! Bless yer heart!
Mary: It's whatever. You did get us to the cave, Yuel... even though we took the super scenic route.
Lyria: Yeah! We might not have even made it if it wasn't for her!
Yuel: Aw, shucks. Yer gonna make me blu... Hm?
Emdina: !
Yuel: Wow! Didja see that?
Mary: You're kidding me... That long-eared son of a gun was carrying the treasure!
Lyria: What? W-wait... So it went into the cave and...
Mary: Luck, don't fail me now! The treasure's real! It's really, really real!
Mary: Move! We can't let it get away!
Vyrn: Wha? Hey, wait!
Yuel: Kyahahaha! Sounds to me like the game is on! Shuck those buns, (Captain)!
Vyrn: Gah... It's like they both fell out of the same darn tree...
Lyria: I suppose... but hey! They're going to leave us behind if we don't get moving!
Mary and Yuel are off again. Not just for the treasure itself, but for the thrill of the chase.
But all of their effort ends in vain. No matter how hard they try, they are never able to catch up to the mysterious figure.
