Sacred Stone Memories Chapter 3/Quest 2 - Storyline

A Wicked Presence
Kanon	Ack!
Seida	Hyah!
Monzein	Fyuuuuah!
Monsters	...
Monster	...
Seida	Ack! More of them?
Almira	...
Kanon	What's going on? I thought you sayd this road was tough, but there wouldn't be many monsters!
Seida	If you have time to complain, then use your sword! You're being inefficient!
Monzein	Seida's right! It doesn't matter how many of them come at us if we defeat them all!
Seida	Here they come again! Over here! If we move along this side path, we may be able to trick the monsters to some degree.
Monzein	Don't talk nonsense! We won't result to trickery! We must advance head on and...
Seida	Are you going to repeat our earlier discussion? How inefficient can you stand to be?!
Almira	Stop! Don't fight between the two of you!
Kanon	Huh? Now that I think about it, isn't there something strange about the movements of the monsters?
Monzein	What do you mean?
Kanon	They keep coming head on towards us. It's almost as if they knew we would take this route.
Seida	That can't be...
Almira	Oh, I know! There must be a spy amongst us who is aiding the monsters!
Monzein	I see. In that case, it's obvious that you're the most suspicious out of all of us.
Almira	Huh?! N-no! It's not me!
Seida	Be quiet. ... ... I can feel a sinister presence in the wind.
Monzein	What's that?
Seida	I don't know the details, but I think the herd of monsters is moving towards the source of it.
Monzein	In other words, there is someone controlling the monsters?
Kanon	It can't be...
Seida	Did you have someone in mind?
Kanon	No, but what about the group who is causing conflict with Captain Kudan and the 4th Regiment are looking for?
Monzein	Right! They could be the source of this sinister presence that Seida is talking about!
Seida	True. There's a possibility of that.
Kanon	Ohh, look!
Seida	What is it this time?
Kanon	There's a suspension bridge over there! If we cross that, we can reach the summit...
Monster	...
Kanon	Yikes, more monsters!
Monzein	Let's defeat them and advance forward! Everyone, attack!
Later...
Monzein	All right. We've taken out the monsters! Let's cross the bridge now.
Almira	Wait!
Monzein	What?! Why are you stopping us?! Are you a spy after all?!
Almira	No! That bridge is dangerous! We can't cross it!
Seida	It's headed in the right direction. It'll take us onto a side path, but should be able to reach our goal.
Almira	I'm talking about its durability, not its direction! From the way it looks, it can collapse at any moment.
Kanon	Seriously?! It looks really sturdy though.
Monzein	I agree. It looks old, but I can't see any visible rot or breakage.
Seida	It's a little hard to believe your observation.
Almira	You too, teacher?! Please, trust your local guide more!
Monzein	That being said, when there's a bridge right in front of you, it's hard to not want to take that option.
Seida	If we were to avoid the bridge, we'd have to head back onto the mountain road and suffer attack after attack from the monsters there. I'd prefer to take a risk than over something so inefficient.
Almira	I told you, no! Fine...! (Beeeeep!!!)
Kanon	Huh, what's that? What's the matter, Almira?
Monzein	Hey! Something is flying towards us!
Seida	Is that a...hawk?
Almira	It's my buddy! We usually go hunting together! Just watch! I'm going to make him land on the bridge! See!
Kanon	You're joking...right?
Seida	The bridge...it collapsed from just the weight of a hawk.
Almira	See, I told you! If I hadn't been here, you'd all be splattered across the valley floor by now.
Kanon	I'm sorry for doubting you, Almira! Thank you! You saved us!
Monzein	Indeed. But...what should we do then?
