The Reckless Ronin
While on a mission to clear a mountain of bandits, (Captain) and the crew meet Sevilbarra, who has the same goal. They finish the job, but (Captain) refuses to accept a reward from the village until it recovers. Sevilbarra is impressed by this and asks to join the crew.
(Captain) and the crew push into the mountains to rescue a village from bandits that have been plaguing it.
While searching deep in the mountains for the bandit stronghold, they discover a Harvin man confronting some bandits.
???: Hey there! Have you guys heard anything about a long sword known as a demon blade?
Bandit: You think you're in any position to ask questions? Get him, guys!
???: Have it your way then...
Lyria: Oh no! They've got that man surrounded! We have to help him, (Captain)!
(Captain) and the others rush forward to save the man from the bandits.
Bandit: You're going down!
???: Ha! I'm not the one who's going down!
Bandit: Argh! Retreat for now!
The man cuts down one bandit after another until they're finally forced to flee.
Vyrn: That was awesome! That straw hat guy is crazy strong!
???: And who might you be? You don't look like bandits.
(Captain) and the others explain that they're skyfarers who came to catch the bandits at the request of the villagers.
Lyria: So you shouldn't wander around here by yourself. There are lots of bandits in these mountains.
???: Ha-ha... I see. So you're bounty hunters too!
???: Looks like these bandits are just causing trouble everywhere.
The man says that a town other than the one that hired (Captain)'s crew has offered a reward for capturing the bandits, and he has his eyes on it.
Vyrn: Really? Then if we're after the same thing, why not work together?
???: No... There's something I need to do on my own. Sorry, but I'll be going on without you.
Almost as soon as the words are out of his mouth, the Harvin man disappears further into the mountains.
Lyria: You know... that man was smiling, but his eyes were so very cold.
Lyria: Let's go after him, (Captain)! He really could get into trouble without backup.
The crew reaches the cave where the bandits are hiding out.
???: Take that!
The Harvin man is already involved in a scuffle with the bandits.
???: Whew... So it wasn't these guys either. You just can't rely on rumors.
Bandit: I'll teach you!
A bandit attempts to attack the man from his blind spot.
Lyria: Look out!
(Captain) takes down the bandit just in time to save the stranger.
???: You're the guys from earlier... Good thing you showed up!
???: Now how about helping me deal with the rest of these villains since you're here?
The man and the crew work together to take down the bandits one by one.
The Harvin raises his sword to deal a finishing blow to a fallen bandit.
Bandit: No!
???: You think some filthy bandit deserves compassion?
???: Heh... That's the face of someone who stands their ground. Have it your way then.
Choose: What's wrong with you?
(Captain) cries out without thinking, and the man stops.
???: You don't want me to dirty my hands? The stain wouldn't even be yours to bear... Interesting. I like that look in your eyes.
???: All right then! For you, I'll stay my blade.

(Captain)'s crew works with the stranger to capture the bandits and turn them in to the authorities.
The man goes off to town to claim his reward. The crew sees him off and then heads back to the village.
Village Chief: Thank you so much! Now we'll be able to make it through the winter.
Village Chief: I'm just sorry this is all we can offer you for all your hard work...
The village chief offers the crew some money, but (Captain) won't accept it.
Village Chief: Oh? We can thank you after we've rebuilt the village? But... you've done so much for us...
Vyrn: Heh-heh! We really don't mind! And we'll be back once the place is fixed up!
The tearful chief and villagers hate to see them go, but (Captain) and company head back to the airship.
???: I can't believe what a bunch of saps you are.
Lyria: Huh? It's you again!
Sevilbarra: Right... I haven't introduced myself. The name's Sevilbarra.
Lyria: Oh! We haven't either! I'm Lyria, this is (Captain), and that's Vyrn!
Lyria: Do you need something, Mr. Sevilbarra?
Sevilbarra: Well, I've always been a little curious about skyfaring, but I haven't been able to find a good crew.
Sevilbarra: Not until now anyway. You guys seem like a good bunch!
Sevilbarra: I don't suppose you'd let me join you?
Vyrn: Ha-ha! We saw how strong you are! Of course you're welcome! Right, (Captain)?
Sevilbarra: I owe you one! And if you can travel long distances, I think I can finish a personal goal of mine too.
Sevilbarra: (A goal of revenge, that is...)
Thus Sevilbarra is welcomed to the crew by (Captain) and the others. But something unexpected happens later that night.
Bandit: Damn it... Thanks to them, all my buddies got caught! I'll make them pay dearly!
A resentful bandit sneaks toward the airship while everyone is asleep.
Bandit: Oof!
Sevilbarra: For cryin' out loud... I knew the captain was too soft. There's always one.
Sevilbarra: But I suppose it's the grown-ups' job to do the dirty work.
Sevilbarra smiles quietly as he wipes the blood from his sword and then returns to the ship.
(Captain) and the others still know nothing of the darkness hidden behind this roaming warrior's cheer or what he intends to use his blade for.
