Once Upon a Time

Nectar learns from (Captain) and company about the Astrals at Estalucia who may have answers about his body, and then joins the crew at their invitation, along with his friends from Sky's Sanctum.



Once upon a time, a great battle was fought to cast the star people out of the skies.
Even after the battle ended, there were those who continued creating weapons of war, fearing a second advent of the star people.
Having lost their place among civilization, these researchers, known as Jorha, scattered to various parts of the world, one of which was the Sky's Sanctum.
Residing at the Sky's Sanctum were: Nectar, a failed primal beast; Shinsha, a girl who tapped into infinite mana reserves; and Ugusu, Kushina, and Kusuki, living weapons created by the Jorha.
Having long hoped to visit Peach Spring Valley one day, they took the plunge into the outside world when their chance came.
It was a chance given to them by (Captain). What follows is a story which takes place sometime afterward.
Kushina: ...
(The goblins are defeated, and there's no more Sky's Sanctum...)
Ugusu: All's well that ends well! Buuut...
Ugusu: Shinsha!
Shinsha: Y-yes!
Ugusu: Nectar!
Nectar: What is it, Ugusu?
Ugusu: Gah, don't pretend you don't know! Surely you two have something to tell me and Kushina!
Kushina: ...!
(Here's a hint! Kusuki already said it!)
Nectar: ...?
Shinsha: Ah...
Shinsha: Um... We're really sorry for making you worry...
Kushina: ...!
(There you go!)
Ugusu: I still can't believe you two! You really caught me with my feathers down!
Kushina: ...!
(Nectar just decides he's going to kick the bucket, and Shinsha jumps off an airship like it's nothing!)
Ugusu: You don't know how bad you hurt me and Kushina! One sorry's not enough!
Nectar: Ugusu, Kushina, forgive me. I admit I acted in haste.
Ugusu: That's still not enough! Shinsha!
Shinsha: Yes!
Ugusu: Hug us!
Shinsha: Huh? Um, okay!
Ugusu: Nectar!
Nectar: Mm-hm.
Ugusu: Head pat!
Nectar: Sure.
Ugusu: Hug us tighter!
And go softer on the patting!
Shinsha: Um... Like this?
Nectar: Softer, huh...
Ugusu: Fwee....
Ugusu: Okay, we forgive you!
Vyrn: Well, that was pretty easy.
Ugusu: Wait, Vyrn, when you'd you get here?
Vyrn: We were here the whole time! It was Nectar who called us over.
Nectar: (Captain), Vyrn, Lyria. Thank you for coming.
Lyria: No worries! We happened to be free anyway... So is there something you wanted to discuss?
Nectar: I was hoping you could give us some advice on how to live our lives going forward.
Kushina: ...
(The fact that he's turning this into a discussion before moving forward shows improvement...)
Nectar: We're grateful you invited us onto your airship, but we surely cannot stay indefinitely.
Shinsha: I'm not sure if we'd ever be able to pay you back for providing all the food and shelter...
Lyria: Oh, please don't worry about it! You're welcome to stay as long as you'd like until you've decided what to do.
Lyria: Right, (Captain)?
Ugusu: You guys are sooo nice.
Ugusu: But if we take you up on the offer, we'd turn into total moochers...
Kushina: ...
(I'm surprised you remembered that word, Ugusu...)
Nectar: Though our destination may be Peach Spring Valley, finding a means of sustaining ourselves first would be ideal.
Kushina: ...
(True. Even simply figuring out where Peach Spring Valley is could take some time...)
Kushina: ...
(And we have to make a living in the meanwhile—have to pay for all the food and drink somehow.)
Vyrn: If it's a job you need, I guess you'd be pretty well-suited to being a skyfarer.
Lyria: Maybe if we introduce you to Siero, she'll have some monster-hunting jobs for you.
Vyrn: Yeah, that'd work! Especially since Nectar can make quick work of the typical monster.
Shinsha: Um, would we be asking too much for this introduction?
Vyrn: Nah, it's all good. We'd actually be more worried if you ended up taking shady jobs from any underhanded crooks.
Vyrn: As far I've heard, you guys can be even more naive than (Captain), and our captain here grew up in the boondocks.
Ugusu: Nectar's a really old person too. Some sort of beast, I think? So we aren't exactly up-to-date with the times.
Nectar: As embarrassing as it is to admit...
Lyria: Well, I think that's natural for anyone who hasn't been outside for so long!
Vyrn: If only you were going to the same place we were, joining our crew would be the safest bet...
Shinsha: Speaking of, do you have a final destination in mind?
Vyrn: Yep! We're trying to get to Estalucia! (Captain)'s dad is supposed to be there!
Nectar: Estalucia?
Lyria: Mm-hm! It's at the end of the skies, where the Astrals are supposed to live.
Nectar: ...
Kushina: ...
(Astrals... They're the ones who tried to turn Nectar into a primal beast...)
Nectar: I'm grateful to Shinsha for forming a pact with a failed primal beast like me, so I'm worried about becoming a burden to her...
Shinsha: A burden? Nuh-uh, I'm the one who wanted the pact. No matter what happens, I'll accept the consequences!
Nectar: Thank you for the kind words, Shinsha. But I would like to take precautions if possible.
Kushina: ...
(Are you worried about errors? Like the stuff that happened with other test subjects.)
Nectar: Yes. Because I do not know why my mutation into a primal beast failed to begin with, I cannot be certain that I won't start showing defects later on.
Ugusu: Gah, I don't get all this mumbo jumbo! Basically, you're worried because you were a failure, right?
Nectar: Yes.
Ugusu: Okay! Then just stop being a failure!
Nectar: ...?
Ugusu: Go ahead and become a primal beast!
Shinsha: A primal beast...
Nectar: Hm...
Kushina: ...
(Is that even possible?)
Nectar: I see what you're saying. Though whether I can become a proper primal beast is another matter...
Nectar: Presenting my pact with Shinsha and my various problems to the Astrals may be the fastest way to an answer.
Lyria: Astrals? Hm... Orchid's father has already passed away...
Vyrn: And I doubt Loki would wanna help us out...
Vyrn: Which leads us right back to Estalucia. Why don't you come with us?
Vyrn: If we get lucky, we might even bump into other Astrals along the way!
Kushina: ...
(To pinpoint Peach Spring Valley's location, we'll need to travel all over the place anyhow.)
Shinsha: So it's best if we simply join your crew after all, I see.
Shinsha: I can't thank you enough for all your help...
Vyrn: Like I was sayin', we'd be able to sleep better knowin' you're in good hands!
Lyria: Um, personally... I'd be really happy to have you travel with us too. What do you say, (Captain)?
  1. I'm gonna work you hard!
  2. No snack-raiding, okay?


Choose: I'm gonna work you hard!

Nectar: Please do, (Captain). I am ready for your orders.
Shinsha: I'll do my best too! To the extent that I can, of course.
Lyria: I'll teach you everything there is to know about the crew, Shinsha!
Shinsha: Thank you, Lyria! I'm looking forward to it!
Go to "Continue 1"


Choose: No snack-raiding, okay?

Ugusu: Urk... I only had a small piece though...
Kushina: ...!
(U-gu-su!)
Ugusu: But... But Vyrn said it was okay to eat!
Vyrn: Hey, you promised to keep it a secret if I gave you a bite!
Lyria: So that's why one apple was missing. It was you all along, huh, Vyrn!

(Captain) remarks that it feels like we're already a part of the crew and flashes us a smile.
Since I can't see and can hardly walk, I really hope there's something I'll be able to help everyone with.
Vyrn: Say, Shinsha, you and Kushina can communicate by telepathy, right?
Shinsha: That's right!
Vyrn: Does the telepathy work with Kusuki too?
Shinsha: Sure! He might be the easiest one to communicate mentally with, even if he is the furthest away.
Shinsha: He's special in that he's the only one with the ability to siphon my mana.
Vyrn: You know, your telepathy could come in handy! Kusuki's following Lucius around to help take out goblins.
Vyrn: Whenever Kusuki notices Lucius trying to do something big on his own, he can let us know through you!
Lyria: Lucius has a tendency to try to solve everything on his own...
Ugusu: Yeah, I know the type! Just look at Kusuki and Nectar—
Nectar: Forgive me.
Ugusu: That the best apology you can muster? Maybe if you throw in a nice head pat...
Nectar: Like this, Ugusu?
Ugusu: Oh yeah! Mm, that feels nice...
Vyrn: Always goes back to that, doesn't it!
Lucius & Kusuki: Achoo!
Teena: Whew, what a surprise. You two need to take better care of yourselves.
Teena: Or could it be that someone's talking smack about you two? Anything come to mind?
Lucius: Nope.
Teena: Really?
Lucius: Yes, really!
And so by (Captain)'s good graces, Nectar and friends officially join the crew.
While (Captain) heads off to accept an assignment from Sierokarte, Nectar's group remain in their room.
Ugusu: So their end goal is Estalucia, where (Captain)'s dad is waiting...
Ugusu: How about you, Shinsha? Don't you want to meet your mommy and daddy?
Shinsha: Um...
Kushina: ...
(Ugusu!)
Ugusu: Yeah?
Kushina: ...
(You left the bed a mess! Clean it up!)
Ugusu: Oopsie, forgot about that. Gimme a hand, Kushina!
Kushina: ...
(All right, all right. Don't mind him, Shinsha.)
Shinsha: I made Kushina worry...
Nectar: Shinsha.
Shinsha: It's not like I'm the only one who can't remember the past... I need to cheer up.
Nectar: I think you have every right to own your sadness, Shinsha.
Shinsha: Thanks... I think I'm just... afraid.
Shinsha: There was a time when I hated my parents because they never came to save me...
Shinsha: And besides, since I haven't seen them in such a long time, I don't even know if they'd recognize me anymore...
Shinsha: Just the thought of finding that out frightens me... That's why I ended up forgetting about them, I think. Even though they might be really worried about me...
Nectar: There's no need to renounce yourself, Shinsha.
Nectar: Know that you are so much more than just how you feel or what goes through your head.
Nectar: And as per our pact, I will always be by your side.
Shinsha: Thank you. For wanting to be with me too.
Nectar: Of course, Shinsha.
I sometimes wonder how things would have turned out if not for our pact. But I suppose there's no need to dwell on that.
Yet, I don't want to be entirely dependent on Nectar. There must be something I can do for him in return.
I just hope that me simply having these thoughts doesn't end up becoming a burden for him...
