Beauty is Passion

(Captain) and company notice that Mishra has been gone for some time. While they wait for her return, the manager of Beauty Springs, Elga, approaches them and invites them to an exclusive bath. The crew decide to try out the secret spring first so they can report back to Mishra about its effects after.



Mishra and company are enjoying their time at Beauty Springs—a new facility with young visitors coming from all over the skies.
The crew discuss among themselves which area of the hot springs they want to try out first.
Lyria: I'd like to go back to that warm cave we saw earlier!
Vyrn: Hmm, I kinda wanna check out the apple juice stand!
Vyrn: What about you guys?
Zehek: I don't mind where we go as long as we're together. Is it just me, or has Master been gone for a while now?
The others realize Mishra's absence and look around.
Vyrn: Now that I think about it, I haven't seen her since we finished eating... Where do you think she went?
Lyria: C-could it be that she got lost along the way?
Zehek: No, I doubt Master would lose her way here... She's most likely scouring the place for resources that might prove useful.
Zehek: I wish she'd at least let someone know before disappearing... I always tell her that, but she never listens.
Vyrn: Geez, she sure goes at her own pace!
Lyria: Hmm, what should we do... Should we go look for Mishra?
  1. We'll let her do her thing.
  2. Let's go find her.


Choose: We'll let her do her thing.

Zehek: Yeah. It'd probably be in our best interest as well not to bother her.
Zehek: Why don't we go get some apple juice like Vyrn suggested and wait at the lounge?
Go to "Continue 1"


Choose: Let's go find her.

Vyrn: I don't know... It's pretty crowded here. Are you sure we'd be able to find her?
Zehek: Yeah... It might be better if we just wait at a place where she can find us later.

Continue 1

(Captain) nods, and the crew turn to make their way toward the lounge.
???: Excuse me. May I have a moment?
A well-dressed woman calls out to them as she approaches the crew.
Vyrn: Hm? Was there somethin' you wanted from us?
Elga: I apologize for the intrusion. My name is Elga, and I serve as manager of Beauty Springs.
Elga: I must admit that you caught my attention from the moment you arrived, and I couldn't help but strike up a conversation.
Zehek: Caught your attention? Was there something unacceptable in our behavior?
The lady named Elga shakes her head.
Elga: Oh, no, absolutely not. I was simply charmed by the unique energy all of you give off compared to our other visitors.
Elga: I especially wanted to speak with the beautiful Erune who was here just a while ago... May I ask where she is now?
(Captain) and company look at one another.
Lyria: Do you mean Mishra? I'm sorry, we're actually looking for her as well...
Elga: Oh, is that right? I must have caught you at a bad moment then.
Vyrn: Once we find her, we can let Mishra know that you wanted to talk to her.
Elga: Ohoho... Please, don't mind me. I'm sure there will be other opportunities to come across her.
Elga: On the other hand, I have something that may be of interest to all of you.
Elga lowers her voice and leans in closer.
Elga: Actually, here at Beauty Springs, there is a hidden hot spring available only to select visitors.
Elga: It would be my pleasure to invite all of you to this exclusive bath.
Zehek: A hidden hot spring? We took a walk around the place earlier... You mean there's more than what we saw?
Elga: Indeed. It's a secret place hidden a slight ways from the main facility.
Elga: The hidden spring uses only the finest of herbs. You can even call it an all-powerful medicinal bath—it does wonders beyond imagination.
Lyria: Wow, that sounds amazing! Hmm, but...
Vyrn: Mishra would probably wanna try it out more than any of us.
Vyrn: Can you take us there later when Mishra's back?
Elga: I'm afraid that's not possible... To preserve the quality of the water, the times visitors are permitted to enter are limited, you see.
Elga: If you'd like to visit the hidden spring, it will have to be now.
Vyrn: Okay, um... Whaddya think we should do, (Captain)?
The crew thinks for a moment, unsure of whether to wait for Mishra.
Finally, Zehek breaks the silence.
Zehek: Well, it's a pretty rare opportunity. Why don't we give it a try?
Lyria: Are you sure? Mishra won't be able to enjoy it with us...
Zehek: Think about it. I'm sure my master would be happier if we tried out the bath rather than pass on this chance.
Zehek: She'd probably get mad if we told her we gave up without a second thought.
Vyrn: Yeah, you might be right about that. All right then, can we still take the offer, Manager Lady?
Elga: Of course! I'll have the staff inform your friend where you are.
Elga: Hehe... I'm certain you'll enjoy our finest-quality medicinal herbs... very much indeed.
Elga's lips curve upward into a smile.
For a split second, (Captain) swears to have seen a strange glint in Elga's eyes.

Beauty is Passion: Scene 2

Elga leads the crew away from the main facility, where they find themselves surrounded by enchanted herbs. Elga reveals that she has been stealing energy from the spring's visitors, and that she wants Mishra's power for herself so she can be forever young and beautiful. As the crew are being attacked, Mishra comes to their rescue. (Captain) and Zehek use the opportunity to subdue the enchanted herbs.



(Captain) and company follow the manager Elga as she leads them to the hidden hot spring.
The path is rough, and not a single person is in sight.
Vyrn: The lady really meant it when she said hidden, huh... It must be really far out.
Lyria: I'm excited to see it, but also a little nervous!
Lyria and Vyrn look around the quiet area, their sense of adventure growing.
Meanwhile, Zehek walks with a cautious look on his face. He leans in to whisper in (Captain)'s ear.
Zehek: Be careful, (Captain). I can feel my magical energy reacting strangely to something.
Zehek: I doubt anything big would happen here at a beauty facility, but...
Elga: My dear guests, we have arrived.
Suddenly, Elga stops and turns to the crew.
Lyria: Is this the hidden spring? But... I don't see any hot springs around...
Elga: Oh, no, there aren't any hot springs. I apologize for deceiving you.
Elga: But the finest herbs are certainly here. Behold...
An ominous smile spreads across Elga's face as she snaps her fingers.
Enchanted Herbs: ...!
Vyrn: Whoa! What the heck are those?
Zehek: Tch, so my magic was reacting to these things!
Zehek: Give me a hand, (Captain)! We'll take them out and retreat—
Elga: Oh my, you shouldn't get too close. It's for your own good. Our high-quality medicinal herbs just love the magical energy from people, you see.
Elga: One word from me and they'll absorb all of your magic in a flash.
At the wave of Elga's hand, the enchanted herbs reach out their tendrils toward the crew.
Zehek: Hmph, so that's how it is... This is the true nature of Beauty Springs.
Zehek: You make this place look attractive and lure in unsuspecting visitors, then secretly suck their magical energy.
Elga: Indeed, my ailing boy. By gathering other people's energy, I can stay young... and become more beautiful.
Vyrn: Uh, so you mean... you've been stealin' magic from all the people coming here and killing 'em?
Elga: Dear me, what a terrible thing to say. I would never take so much energy that it'd kill someone.
Elga: Besides, taking a little from each person makes it less noticeable, and is a much more productive method.
Elga: Yes, that's how I've been doing it up until now...
Elga: But I've decided to try and do things a little differently today, ever since I laid eyes on your lady companion!
Elga's voice grows louder as she becomes increasingly agitated.
Lyria: Huh? Do you mean Mishra?
Zehek: Did Master... do something to you?
Elga: Do something to me? Hm, yes, I suppose she did...
Elga: She's committed quite the serious crime. Her crime... is in her beauty itself!
Zehek: What?
  1. What do you mean?
  2. Are you jealous of her beauty?


Choose: What do you mean?

Elga: Don't play dumb with me. You've been around that woman long enough to know what I mean.
Elga sneers, her eyes filled with contempt.
Elga: The aura emitting from the beauty of that woman, and the vast amount of magic unsuited to her ephemeral looks...
Elga: I knew from the moment I saw her that she is what I must overcome!
Elga: If I can obtain her power... then her beauty will become my own!
Go to "Continue 1"


Choose: Are you jealous of her beauty?

Elga: Hmph! How dare you use such cheap words to describe my passion!
Elga: She is what I must overcome—I knew from the moment I saw her!
Elga: And to do that, I must obtain her power... All of it!

Continue 1

At Elga's orders, the enchanted herbs surround the crew, gradually closing in on them.
Elga: Failing to invite her here was an unfortunate miscalculation on my part... but this isn't bad either.
Elga: If I hold all of you hostage, she will have no choice but to give up all of her powers!
Enchanted Herbs: ...!
Zehek: Hah! I won't let you have your way so easily!
Lyria: You can't, Zehek! Your magical energies are already barely under control...
  1. Don't push yourself too hard!
  2. I won't let you hurt Zehek!


Choose: Don't push yourself too hard!
Choose: I won't let you hurt Zehek!

(Captain) jumps in front of Zehek at the last moment and deflects the enchanted herbs' attacks.
But just as Elga had warned, the closer the plants are, the more (Captain) and Zehek feel their energy getting sucked out.
Zehek: (Captain)! You need to be careful too!
Zehek: (Ugh... But it's true that my magic's far from stable...)
Zehek: (At this rate, I'll only put (Captain) and the others in danger...)
Zehek: Damn it, I need to think of a plan!
Elga: Ohohoho! Oh, that unsightly look on your face is simply priceless.
Elga: Now, surrender if you don't want anyone else getting hurt!
The enchanted herbs advance on (Captain). Still, the captain refuses to move and continues to stand between the enemy and Zehek.
Just as the plants are about to strike again, a powerful attack sends them back.
Mishra: Goodness. I just can't keep my eyes off all of you for long, can I?
Mishra: Still, you saved me a lot of time by finding what I was looking for. I suppose you deserve some praise for that.
Enchanted Herbs: ...
Zehek: Wha... M-Master?
The smoke clears to reveal Mishra walking composedly toward them.
Elga: Ah, you arrived faster than I'd anticipated. I was planning to invite you after things settled down a little here...
Once again, Elga snaps her fingers at the enchanted herbs.
Elga: But no matter! Now, hand over your magical powers so they may contribute to my beauty!
Enchanted Herbs: ...!
Zehek: Master, stay as far from them as you can! They'll rob you of your energy if you get too close!
Mishra: Ahaha. Always the caring one, aren't you, Zehek?
Mishra: But there is no need to worry. My magic can survive a few weeds.
And true to her words, Mishra shows no signs of weakening despite the enchanted herbs closing in on her.
Mishra: Haha, is this it? The effects of the herbs are intriguing, but they could be improved...
Mishra coolly brushes the enchanted plants aside and strides toward Elga, who is frozen in shock.
Elga: H-how... You should be robbed of your magical energy and left without power...
Elga: How are you still standing as if nothing happened? How are you still so beautiful!
Mishra: You are a fool. You chase after beauty, yet you do not know the answer to such a simple question.
Mishra looks down on the trembling woman with cold eyes.
Mishra: True beauty is not something you can take from another. It is something that can only be cultivated through your own diligence.
Mishra: My diligence is simply stronger than your mere display of fabricated beauty. That's all there is to it.
The beautiful Erune stops in front of Elga.
Mishra: If I remember correctly, you dared to insult my apprentice and his friends with the word "unsightly."
Mishra: But at this very moment, it is you who are the most unsightly of all!
Elga: Wha!
Stunned, Elga is lost for words.
Mishra turns her gaze toward Zehek and (Captain).
Mishra: Now! While her magic is weak, finish off the enchanted herbs!
Mishra: And be sure to kill them down to the roots so nothing like this will happen again!
Zehek: Yes, Master! (Captain), let's do this!
(Captain) gives a firm nod and prepares for battle once more.
Gripping their weapons tightly, together, the two charge at the cluster of foes in front of them.

Beauty is Passion: Scene 3

Mishra reprimands Elga and takes the manager out for some special training. Several days later, the reformed Elga expresses her regret and promises to reopen Beauty Springs after she has made up for her mistakes. Rejuvenated, the crew returns to the ship. Mishra uses the herbs she obtained on the island to make a new beautification tonic and attempts to test it on (Captain) and Zehek, much to their dismay.



While Elga is distracted by Mishra, (Captain) and Zehek take out the remainder of the enchanted herbs.
They clean out the weeds thoroughly until nothing is left standing.
Mishra: Hmph, all that energy didn't amount to much after all.
Mishra: It seems she really did only take a little at a time.
Mishra: Albeit a foolish attempt, if she truly wanted to conduct research, she should have taken it to a bolder degree...
Zehek: Um, Master... That's probably not the type of constructive criticism you should be giving...
Vyrn: Besides, the lady who needs an earful isn't even listening.
(Captain) and company turn to look at Elga, who has crumpled onto the floor in a daze.
Elga: Ah... My enchanted herbs... My eternal youth...
Zehek: Looks like she's completely exhausted...
Lyria: What should we do? It doesn't seem like she's going to do any more bad things...
Vyrn: And I doubt the Crew of Enforcers would come out here just for this...
Mishra: Goodness me. I suppose I have no other choice but to lecture her myself.
Elga: ...
Mishra: Wake up!
Elga: Eeek!
Elga: Wh-what do you want! Come to rub my face in your beauty as I wither away with no hope of ever becoming beautiful?
Mishra: Oho... So you think you can never become beautiful?
Elga: Th-that's right! Now that I have no way of collecting energy from other people... I'll never be able to...
Mishra: Mm-hmm, I see... So that's your excuse.
Mishra: But let me warn you to never spout that sort of nonsense in front of me again.
Mishra: I went out of my way to come lecture you because I thought you had the potential to be beautiful.
Elga: What?
Elga's jaw drops in surprise at Mishra's unexpected words.
Mishra: It is true that your methods for obtaining beauty are flawed. And of course, you will need to be properly punished for what you have done.
Mishra: But I can see that your passion in your pursuit of beauty is true.
Mishra: And I cannot stand to see someone with such an honest desire for beauty to give up halfway!
The Erune reaches out and grasps Elga by the collar of her dress.
Mishra: Come! I shall give you my special training and revive the determination within you!
Elga: Huh! Wait, just what—
Mishra: (Captain)! Zehek! I will be absent for the next few days, so take this time to relax and enjoy the hot springs!
Mishra's Voice: Be sure to note down how long you use each facility so that I can confirm their effects and benefits after!
Elga's Voice: Somebooody! Heeelp!
Lyria: Ooh... I wonder where Mishra and Elga are going...
Zehek: They'll be busy with Master's special beauty training... All I can do is pray for the lady's safety.
As the two women's voices fade into the distance, the crew breathes a sigh of relief after the day's events.
Several days later, Mishra and Elga are in the lobby of Beauty Springs exchanging a warm handshake.
Mishra: You did well in following my special training. You have my acknowledgement as a fellow pursuer of beauty.
Elga: Master... It is thanks to you that I've found a new way of life!
Elga: It is most unfortunate that we must part ways...
Vyrn: Wow, I can't believe it... I can practically see stars of admiration in her eyes...
  1. Mishra's an excellent teacher.
  2. Can't believe she made it back alive...


Choose: Mishra's an excellent teacher.

Lyria: She really is! I guess Mishra managed to help Elga change herself for good!
Go to "Continue 1"


Choose: Can't believe she made it back alive...

Zehek: Yeah... She's definitely no ordinary person to have survived Master's special training.
Zehek: Her method for obtaining beauty was inappropriate, but I guess her passion for it was real.

Mishra: Now then, what do you plan to do from here on out?
Elga: After seeing all of you off, I will be closing this facility down and turning myself in to the Crew of Enforcers.
Elga: Once I've properly atoned for my crimes, I'd like to reopen Beauty Springs in a different form.
Elga: When that time comes, Master, please visit us again!
Mishra: Gladly. I'm already looking forward to it.
Mishra nods, pleased to see Elga's sincere conviction.
Mishra: Beauty Springs proved to be a truly intriguing place worth examining. And I believe there is still much to learn.
Mishra: It would be my pleasure to visit you again with (Captain) and the others.
Elga: Thank you! I will have the most magnificent medicated bath ready for your return!
And with that, Elga waves goodbye to the crew as they set out once more into the skies.
Lyria: Hehe. My skin feels softer than usual! Could this be the result of soaking in the hot springs?
Vyrn: Yeah, even (Captain)'s skin is glowing. It's as shiny as an apple fresh from the orchard!
Vyrn: Not to mention, you're lookin' better than before, Zehek.
Zehek: Yeah, it feels easier to breathe. Maybe it's thanks to the medicinal herbs.
Zehek: And... it's probably because I had a good time relaxing with all of you too.
Lyria: Hehe. We're glad to see that you were able to rest a little! Aren't we, (Captain)?
  1. Let's visit the hot springs again.
  2. Let's go on another vacation together.


Choose: Let's visit the hot springs again.

Vyrn: Sounds good! And next time, Mishra can tell us more about the hot springs while we soak in 'em!
Go to "Continue 2"


Choose: Let's go on another vacation together.

Lyria: Yes, let's! I can't wait to visit more places with Zehek and Mishra!

Continue 2

Zehek: Traveling with Master can be a handful sometimes...
Zehek: But this was a nice getaway. I wouldn't mind doing it again.
Not resistant to the idea, Zehek cracks a smile.
The crew are in high spirits as they bathe in the afterglow of their short but satisfying vacation.
Mishra: Ah, there you are!
Zehek: Master? You look like you're enjoying yourself...
Zehek: Wait... That bottle in your hand! Don't tell me you're planning to...
Mishra: Hehe. I happened to receive some of the medicinal herbs on the island as a present before we left.
Mishra: And after a closer examination, it seems the herbs have other properties of interest other than absorbing magical energy!
Mishra: If all goes well with my experiment, I may just find myself with yet a new discovery in my endless pursuit of beauty...
As a smile slowly creeps across Mishra's face, Zehek and (Captain) look at each other.
Zehek: Run for it, (Captain)!
Mishra: Wait, Zehek! (Captain)! This is simply a tonic!
Mishra: A few rather extreme side effects may occur, of course, but there's no need for concern!
Zehek: Argh! See, this is what happens!
Zehek: Traveling with Master is nothing but trouble!
(Captain) chuckles and nods in agreement.
Moments later, two sets of groans and the sound of Mishra's delighted laughter can be heard coming from the bowels of the ship.
