An Unknown Friend
In a certain town, Melleau's mount draws many stares. Some ruffians soon appear and demand that she hand over Sachy, but she refuses. The furious ruffians draw their swords.
Melleau: La dee da!
Sachy: ...
Townsfolk 1: Hey... Look at that.
Townsfolk 2: What the heck is that thing?
Vyrn: ...
Lyria: Oh, don't sigh like that, Vyrn! You know it won't help...
Vyrn: I can't help it...
(Captain)'s crew comes to a certain town during the journey.
Malleau remains atop her partner Sachy, drawing the attention of everyone who sees them.
Vyrn: Hey... Why don't you get off that thing while we're in town?
Melleau: Why would I do that?
Vyrn: Look how scared everyone is! Of that... thing you're riding!
Melleau: Nobody was scared of Sachy where I come from...
Melleau: In fact, everyone politely got out of the way whenever we went down the street.
Lyria: Um... Maybe they moved out of the way because they were scared?
Melleau: But Sachy has such a cute face! Right, Sachy?
Sachy: ...
Lyria: Face? But isn't that a mask? What does it look like underneath?
Melleau: Oh, I wouldn't look if I were you. When my older sister looked, she fainted and was in bed for three days.
Lyria: H-how did that happen?
Melleau: Let's just say Sachy was too cute for her.
Ruffian 1: Is that the beast right there?
Ruffian 2: Yep. Look at the mask. That's gotta be it.
Melleau: Do you boys need something?
Ruffian 1: Yeah, we have some business with that beast. Now be a good girl and hand it over.
Melleau: Beast?
Ruffian 1: Yeah, that thing you're riding.
Melleau: I'm riding Sachy, not a beast.
Melleau: So I'm not sure which beast you're talking about, exactly.
Ruffian 2: So you want to do this the hard way, eh? All right, don't say we didn't warn you!
Vyrn: Ugh... Do they seriously wanna fight?
Ruffian 1: Nothing personal, kids. Blame the beast there if you have to blame someone.
Melleau: You're brave, I'll give you that. But you're not very smart.
Melleau: I'll make you regret picking a fight with me and Sachy!
An Unknown Friend: Scene 2
(Captain)'s crew defeats the ruffians. As they discuss Sachy's identity, the scoundrels return with imperial soldiers. The solders once again demand that they hand over Sachy, which only angers Melleau.
The defeated ruffians retreat with curses on their tongues.
Melleau: Hopefully they'll be just a little less stupid from now on.
Vyrn: Hey... Those guys were obviously after that thing, right?
Vyrn: But what is that thing in the first place?
Sachy: ...
Melleau: Sachy is Sachy. I don't know much about her either to be honest.
Melleau: But who cares? She's my partner no matter what. Right, girl?
Sachy: ...
Imperial Soldier: There's the vile beast.
Vyrn: Imperials!
Ruffian 1: See? It's just like I said. That's the one, right?
Ruffian 2: Do we get our reward now?
Imperial Soldier: That's talk for when the job's finished. You're not done helping us just yet.
Melleau: Looks like the lesson I taught you earlier wasn't enough to knock the stupid out of you.
Imperial Soldier: So you're the monster's owner? You need to hand that thing over.
Melleau: Like I said to your goons here... Sachy's my friend, and you'll never get her!
An Unknown Friend: Scene 3
It's revealed that Sachy is an experimental animal that escaped from an imperial research facility. Melleau sticks up for her friend and continues to fight off the imperial forces.
Imperial Soldier: Ngh... Just the monster and the owner would have been a breeze, but a crew of skyfarers as well? I really don't get paid enough for this.
Vyrn: Hey! What's with all of you?
Vyrn: Why are you after this thing? Do you even know what it is?
Imperial Soldier: Of course. How could we not?
Imperial Soldier: That animal escaped from one of our imperial research facilities.
Imperial Soldier: It's a dangerous creature with dangerous enhancements. Not something you want as a pet.
Melleau: ...
Sachy: ...
Imperial Soldier: Who knows when it'll turn on you and attack? Now, be smart and hand it over.
Melleau: No.
Imperial Soldier: What?
Melleau: I don't care if Sachy's an experimental animal, idiot.
Melleau: She's my friend, and I'm not gonna sit here while you insult her!
Imperial Soldier: Hah... You'll regret that, kid!
Melleau: Give me a hand! (Captain)! I'm gonna beat the snot out of these guys!
An Unknown Friend: Scene 4
The crew drives back the imperial forces. Peace returns to the town, but the people fear Melleau and Sachy. When they see how down she is, Vyrn and the others cheer her up. But the crew remains curious about what's under Sachy's mask.
(Captain)'s crew repels the imperial soldiers. Peace returns to the town, but all is not well...
Sachy: ...
Townsfolk 1: Eek!
Melleau: Um...
Townsfolk 2: What do you want? Stay back! It's gonna eat me!
Vyrn: Hey! Relax! No one's getting eaten!
Lyria: He's right! We only fought earlier because they were trying to take Sachy.
Melleau: ...
Melleau: Hey, (Captain). Are you... afraid of Sachy, too?
Melleau: I see... Thanks!
Melleau: I wonder if it's weird for me to say that...
Melleau: But I appreciate your sentiment, so deal with it.
Choose: We're actually buddies.
Sachy: ...
Melleau: Not according to Sachy...
Melleau: But thanks anyway. Thanks for not being afraid of my friend.

Vyrn: Well, I've dealt with crazier things than your friend there!
Vyrn: It'll take more than that to scare me!
Lyria: If she's your friend, I'm not scared of her!
Melleau: I see... Thanks, everyone.
Melleau: I'm so glad I'm part of the crew.
Melleau: So I hope you'll continue to put up with me, (Captain).
With that, Melleau smiles.
And the beast under her sighs contentedly.
Lyria: By the way... I'm still curious about what's under Sachy's mask...
Melleau: I wouldn't look if I were you. I'm no good at taking care of unconscious people.
Vyrn: Well, I guess some mysteries are better left unsolved!
Lyria: But that just makes me more curious.
