A Man's Dream
The crew runs into Rockfisted Soriz, a winner of many tournaments, in the mountains. He's training there in pursuit of his ideals, but one look at Rosetta convinces him to join (Captain) and company.
(Captain) and company visit an island where an ominous rumor is making everyone uneasy.
It seems people have been hearing frightening noises in the nearby mountains, whose hot springs have become quite popular.
At the townspeople's request, (Captain) and company head out to investigate the mountains.
Vyrn: Whoa! What was that!
Lyria: Eek! That made me jump.
Lyria: Maybe this is what the rumor's about. You know, the one the people in town were talking about.
Katalina: It would seem so. I wonder if monsters are to blame. Or even a primal beast.
Katalina: All right! Let's just proceed with caution so nobody gets hurt. We should hurry, (Captain).
Vyrn: Whoa! Seems like we're getting really close.
Katalina: Yes... Stay on your toes, (Captain)!
Soriz: Whew...
Huh? Who're you people?
Huh? Who're you people?
Lyria: Aahh! An old man just popped out of that rock!
Vyrn: No he didn't! He punched right through it!
Vyrn: Hey, you with the beard! How in the sky are you able to crush boulders like that?
Soriz: Whoa there! Stay back! It's not safe!
Soriz: This is really no place for a bunch of kids. Plus you're gettin' in the way of my training, so get lost.
Vyrn: Wha? Don't treat us like kids, dude! We're perfectly competent skyfarers!
Vyrn: The people in town are scared of the noises coming from these mountains.
Vyrn: We thought there might be monsters up here, so we came to investigate!
Soriz: I see. So my training is frightenin' the townspeople. I sure didn't intend that.
Katalina: Still, if you can crush rocks like these with a single punch, surely your technique is close to perfect.
Soriz: Hmm... I guess it's nothin' to sniff at. But something's still missing...
Katalina: Missing, you say?
Soriz: Oh, it's nothing. I'm Soriz by the way. And I'm sorry for causin' trouble.
Katalina: Hang on... I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before...
Katalina: Oh, I remember! Are you perhaps Rockfisted Soriz, the winner of all those fighting competitions?
Soriz: Haha! That brings back memories. But I've put my past behind me.
Soriz: Now I'm just an old man who's tryin' to push the limits of his own body through vigorous training. The body is the ultimate weapon, you see!
Vyrn: Awesome! It's so cool to meet such a famous old dude! Right, (Captain)?
Vyrn: Hey! So is all this rubble just the remains of rocks you obliterated?
Soriz: Whoa! Wait! Don't take a single step further!
Vyrn: Geez! What's got your boxers in a bunch?
Katalina: Don't tell me! Are there monsters lurking up ahead?
Soriz: You got it. You kids wouldn't stand a chance against them. So get outta he—
Vyrn: Hey now, looks can be deceiving! We can totally handle a little monster hunting!
Vyrn: (Captain), let's show this guy what we're made of!
Soriz: Hey! I said wait!
Vyrn: Wha?
Katalina: What in the world...
Soriz: Heheh. Oh well. I guess the cat's out of the bag. What do you think, lizard? Nice view, eh?
The rock wall collapses thanks to the enthusiasm of (Captain) and company. Something most unexpected awaits beyond.
It's the mountain's famous women-only outdoor hot spring.
Soriz says that only the hot spring can relieve the fatigue of his training, but he doesn't specify exactly what he means by that.
Vyrn: Man... Here I was thinking we'd met someone cool, but you're just a big ol' peeping Tom!
Soriz: What's the big deal? I guess a lizard like you wouldn't understand the true essence of manliness.
Katalina: Ugh... You have such talent, but you're completely lacking in moral fiber. What a waste.
Soriz: Heh! A waste, huh? That's rich coming from a beautiful woman who happens to be a total stick-in-the-mud!
Soriz: All your looks will go to waste if you insist on boring everyone to death!
Katalina: Eek! Get your hands off me this instant!
Soriz: Yep! You definitely need to learn to live a little! Haha!
Katalina: How dare you! You insolent cur! I'll beat some common decency into you!
Vyrn: Sigh... We always seem to find the weirdos, don't we?
Rosetta: Captain!
Vyrn: Hey, Rosetta. Aren't you supposed to be watching the ship?
Rosetta: Hee hee. You guys were taking an awfully long time, so I got worried and decided to come find you.
Rosetta: Hey, Captain. This place is famous for its hot springs, right? Aren't you a little curious?
Soriz: Well, well! What do we have here?
Soriz: Yo, lizard! Is this fine lady a friend of yours?
Vyrn: Why do you care all of a sudden? But yeah, she's a member of our crew!
Soriz: Oho... You should have told me you had such an exquisite flower in your group!
Rosetta: Oh my, Captain. Is this bearded gentleman a new friend of yours?
Soriz: If the stunning lady so wishes, I would gladly join your little crew!
Choose: Teach me your secrets, manly one!
Katalina: Oh no you don't! You don't need to learn what he's teaching, (Captain)!
Choose: Teach me some fighting techniques!
Vyrn: Yeah! You'd definitely be able to pull your weight! Even if you are a peeping Tom.

Soriz: Then it's decided.
Soriz: I'm at your service, Ms. Stick-in-the-Mud! And doubly at yours, Ms. Radiant Flower!
Soriz: Now let's see... Since I know all the hot springs in the area, why don't I show you ladies around?
Rosetta: Hee hee! I look forward to it! Come on, Captain. It's good to take a nice, hot bath and relax from time to time!
Thus (Captain) and company befriend Soriz, a mighty warrior with some questionable habits, and resume their journey.
