Heir of the Magic Bow

Vyrn worries about how much Sutera trains and tells her to be more like her sister Metera. Sutera assumes Metera's only interest in men is to duel them, so she has a store owner post a notice calling for challengers, which is answered by some men the next day.



After joining (Captain)'s crew, Sutera continues training every day in hopes of catching up to her older sister.
Sutera: Okay, I'm off for my daily training! I don't expect to be out too late.
Vyrn: Hey, Sutera. Don't you think you might be overdoing the whole training thing?
Vyrn: I mean, why not be more like your sister?
Sutera: More like my sister... Great idea!
Vyrn: Right? Like, relax a little... Have some fun, you know?
Sutera: Yes, by imitating Metera's mannerisms, it might help me close the gap on her!
Sutera: Okay, then... I'm off to find myself a man!
Vyrn: What? Whoa, whoa! Whaddya mean by that!
Lyria: Is everything okay? Sutera just ran off the ship.
Vyrn: This is bad! We gotta go after her, (Captain)!
Sutera: Excuse me, sir! Could you spare me a moment?
Man: Huh? Is something wrong? I wouldn't mind lending you a hand.
Sutera: Oh, thank you! Thank you so much! We must be off, and quickly!
Vyrn: There she is! Uh, why's she leading that guy away from the crowds?
Sutera: Good. I don't think we need to worry about any lookie-loos here. So...
Sutera: I would like to challenge you to a fair match!
Vyrn: Hold it! What do you think you're doing?
Sutera: Vyrn? You followed me? As you can see, I'm hitting men!
Sutera: I heard Metera used to engage men this way all the time!
Man: Um, did you mean to say hit on men? Even if you didn't, I'm just a business man not a fighter.
Sutera: Is that so? Since you were carrying around such hefty wares, I thought surely you must be strong...
Man: Hahaha! But I'm hopeless in a fight.
Sutera: Oh... Then I am truly sorry to have wasted your time.
Man: Oh, no need to apologize! But if you're looking for a partner, I can put up a notice in my shop.
Sutera: You would do that for me? Oh, how so very kind! Thank you!
With a hearty thank-you to the store owner, Sutera returns to town with (Captain)'s party.
A challenger answers the notice the next day.
Riffraff: Hey, honey bunch! Saw the notice. You the girl looking for a partner?
Sutera: Why, yes I am! So you're here for a duel?
Riffraff: Yep! Brought a friend too. So all we gotta do is knock you off your feet, right?
Sutera: Such confidence. My heart is pounding with excitement!
Vyrn: What do you mean you brought a friend? You do know this is a one-on-one type deal, right?
Riffraff: Whatever. The notice didn't say nothin' about not bringing friends. Now watch us win!
Vyrn: What? Let's teach these idiots a lesson, (Captain)!

Heir of the Magic Bow: Scene 2

Sutera finally learns what it actually means to hit on a man and has her challenge notice taken down. She gets called back home by her father, where she is asked to eliminate monsters to prove that she's worthy of wielding her village's arcane bow.



Riffraff: Damn... I can't believe I lost! And all I had to do was knock you down and we coulda gone out...
Sutera: Gone out? To where? Do you mean we should thank each other for the duel?
Riffraff: No, I mean go out. You know, hold hands, kiss, and do all the other stuff people do on dates.
Sutera: D-dates? But that'd be no different than having a romantic relationship!
Riffraff: Uhh... Yeah? That's what going out means!
Sutera: Wh-what? Of all the shameless... I don't recall ever saying that!
Sutera: What in the world did that store owner put on that notice! I'd better go find out!
Sutera: Excuse me, sir!
Man: Huh? Hey, you're that skyfarer from before! How'd the notice work out?
Sutera: That's what I'm here about! That notice of yours certainly attracted some attention...
Sutera: But they expected me to date them if they won! Why would you write something like that?
Man: Hm? Well, you said you wanted to hit on men, so that's what I wrote.
Man: I thought you might be looking for a man who's stronger than you as a suitable companion.
Sutera: Wha? Wait... Is that what hitting on someone means?
Vyrn: Um... Yeah... Something like that, I guess.
Sutera: ...!
Sutera: No, no, no! This is all a misunderstanding! My misunderstanding!
Sutera: Please just take down the notice right away!
After hearing the explanation from Sutera, (Captain), and the rest of the crew, the store owner apologizes and takes down the notice.
But word has already spread, and the days are filled with men coming to throw down a challenge.
In the midst of the madness, a letter from Sutera's father reaches her through the Knickknack Shack.
The letter asks her to return home, so she does so with (Captain) and company in tow.
Mayor: Welcome home, Sutera. And you, dear skyfarers. Thank you for taking the trouble to come here.
Sutera: What did you want to see me about, Father? Um... I still haven't managed to find Metera yet.
Mayor: It was all because of her that your mother learned of my secret savi—Ahem... But this is not about that.
Sutera: Then what is it about? I don't know what's going on, but I would be glad to help in any way I can!
Mayor: There's only one reason why we would summon you. We are considering choosing you as the next successor of the arcane bow.
Sutera: ...?
Me?
Mayor: Yes. We want to see if you are worthy.
Sutera: But... I...
Lyria: Um... What exactly is this arcane bow?
Sutera: The arcane bow fires magical arrows. Its power is sealed away, and the bow has been passed down in our village through the ages.
Sutera: Many generations have passed without anyone born who is capable of controlling that power.
Sutera: Father. I find it hard to believe that I could be the chosen one, a great honor though it may be—
Mayor: Sutera, I know you have dreamed of holding the bow in your own hands.
Sutera: What makes you—
Mayor: You have a terrible habit of underestimating yourself. You could certainly stand to gain some experience doing something reckless while you are still young.
Mayor: Though I hardly think obtaining the bow qualifies as reckless for you.
Sutera: Father...
Sutera: Very well. Please test me and discover whether I'm worthy of wielding the bow!
Mayor: There is only one trial fit for you. Some monsters have built a lair just outside our village. Clear it and return here.
Sutera: Monsters? If this is a trial, they must be quite strong.
Sutera: I'll take care of it!
Sutera: Father. (Captain). I'll not disappoint you! I'll return soon!
Vyrn: Ah! Hey!
There she goes. Can't say I'm not worried. Right, (Captain)?
Lyria: Maybe we should sneak after her just to make sure she doesn't get into trouble.
Monster: Groar!
Sutera: Take that!
Monster: Grargh...
Sutera: Huff... Huff... Quite a few of you, aren't there? And you're no slouches at masking yourselves!
Monster: Groar!
Sutera: Oh no! Right in my blind spot!
Sutera doesn't have enough time to nock an arrow.
(Captain), having followed in secret, leaps out to back her up.
Sutera: (Captain)? What are you do—never mind! First we have to defeat these monsters!

Heir of the Magic Bow: Scene 3

Sutera completes the first stage of her trial but suspects that her sister is a better choice for the arcane bow. Still, her main priority is to defeat the monsters threatening her village, so she enlists the help of (Captain) and the others to do so.



Vyrn: Well, that's it for the vermin around here!
Sutera: My apologies, (Captain). I must still be wet behind the ears to get all of you involved.
Sutera: I knew my sister was more worthy of the arcane bow than me.
Lyria: Is that why you tried to say no the first time?
Sutera: It is. My sister is a prodigy, the likes of which only appears once in a century, and she's much more suitable than me.
Lyria: But your father knows how strong your sister is and still offered the bow to you, Sutera.
Lyria: He must have a reason!
Sutera: Lyria...
Vyrn: Um... Hey, Sutera. Sorry we stuck our noses in. You want us to leave and let you take care of this?
Sutera: Of course not! My trial isn't what's important. I need to clear out these monsters quickly and bring peace to my village.
Sutera: I hate to ask, but could you help me finish this?
Vyrn: You got it! We're already here anyway. Right, (Captain)?
Lyria: Let's go! You're right, Sutera. We need to give those villagers some peace of mind!

Heir of the Magic Bow: Scene 4

After defeating the monsters, Sutera tries to refuse the bow, citing her inability to clear the trial alone. Her father reveals that he was testing her ability to work with others in order to defend the weak. Thus she is chosen to wield the sacred bow.



Sutera: Father! I have returned!
Mayor: I'm glad to see you home safely, Sutera. You did a splendid job ridding us of those monsters.
Sutera: Yes. But I couldn't have done it without (Captain) and the others.
Sutera: I decided that asking them for help was the only way to protect the village.
Sutera: I'm just not strong enough, which means I'm not the one to inherit the bow. I would like to be withdrawn from consideration.
Mayor: Is that so? Even when you are exactly who I have been searching for?
Sutera: Huh?
Mayor: I was looking for someone who doesn't try to do everything alone. Someone who works with others to defend those who can't defend themselves.
Mayor: That's exactly the sort of spirit the chosen needs. And it's a spirit that dwells within you, child.
Mayor: Step forward. Take the bow and become our guardian, Sutera.
Sutera: ...!
The mayor gestures toward the bow. Sutera picks it up with great reverence.
Sutera: So this is the arcane bow! I've wanted to hold it ever since I was a child...
Mayor: I know. There is no reward without effort. I want you to remember that, Sutera!
Sutera: I will! I will work hard to become truly worthy of this honor!
And so Sutera becomes the wielder of her village's sacred bow.
But it won't be easy to master, and whether Sutera can do so will depend on her effort.
