           --   Text-only version v1.1  April 29th, 2000 --

=======================================================================
 
" Alent Project was born in 1998 from the association of 
passionate people who wanted to make one of the greatest games ever, 
Grandia, understandable by non-Japanese speakers. The Alent 
Project site (http://grandia.dreamcast-hq.net) has from then
united all 3 of the available fan-translations of Grandia with the 
hope an official translation would come... which finally happened. 

As of october 1999, an english version of Grandia has finally
been released. Even if we weren'table to translate all the game, 
we've made it to over 50% of the storyline conversations.

We staff members think it's been great to work all together to
put up this translation. Now, most players can enjoy the full
official translation, and the time has come to say goodbye. Alent
Project is now over, but we may see you again someday, if another
great RPG such as Grandia remains untranslated. This is no
farewell, this is only goodbye... "

Welcome to the text-only version of Alent Project ! Upon popular 
demand, this text format version has been made available. 
A number of corrections have been made from the HTML version.

INSIDE AN AIRSHIP OF THE GARLYSLE ARMY

     Baal
     Mmph...I must have dozed off...and I had that dream again...hurrying
     me. Myuren, what is our current position ?

     Myuren
     We have traveled at least halfway to our destination. You seem tired,
     Shogun Baal.

     Baal
     How many times must I tell you, Myuren ? When the troops aren't around
     you may call me "father".

     Myuren
     Is that what you wish ? But.. Leen is with us.

     Baal
     Ha, ha, ha... That sounds like something you would say. Leen is,
     needless to say, a highly important component in the implementation of
     our secret plan. You need not be afraid of her.

     Leen
     .................

     Baal
     The total exploration of the Saruto Ruins is already nearly complete.
     However, I trust that your personal investigation will yield the
     greatest finds.

     Myuren and Leen
     ..................

     Myuren
     Since this is being handled by the elite western army, you should
     expect good results.

     P.A. System
     It is now 13:40 military time. We are currently passing through Parm
     airspace. ETA at our final destination is 15:30.

     Myuren
     Leen, open the window for our liege.

     Leen
     Yes, Commander Myuren.

     **** ON THE STREETS OF PARM

     Man
     HEY YOU !!! YOU LITTLE PUNK !!! So it's you again Justin ! I can't
     believe you're still bent on trying to steal from my storeroom !

     Justin
     No, I'm not ! Listen to me !

     Man
     I can see what you're doing ! You're destroying the place !

     Justin
     No, I'm searching for treasure ! I just have to find some ! I'm an
     adventurer !

     Man
     What the hell are you talking about ?! And just how do you expect to
     find treasure in all this junk ? (BONK !!!) Now for the last time,
     STAY OUTTA' HERE !!

     Sue
     Justiiiiiiin ! Hey, hey Justin. Are you okay ? That sounded kinda'
     painful

     Justin
     Oh, hey there Sue.... So you saw all of that, huh ? Well, don't worry
     about me. It'll take more than that to faze me, right ?

     Sue
     Yeah.... Did you find anything in the storeroom ?

     Justin
     Nope... he's right about one thing. There really is nothing but junk
     in there. How about you ?

     Sue
     Of course, I found something ! Ta-da ! Look at this ! The Armor of
     Legend. And I found it all by myself !

     Pooy
     Pu ! Pu ! Pu !

     Sue
     Oh yeah, Pooy helped too. Well, here you go, Justin ! The Armor of
     Legend.

     *** Received the dirty apron.

     Justin
     Alright, Sue ! Now we have one of the items. So all we need to do is
     find the Shield of Light, Helm of Courage, and the Sacred Soul Sword.

     Sue
     But if you don't find them before sundown, you lose ! That would be
     terrible ! I don't want to be Gantz's bride you know ! I can't believe
     you actually agreed to something like that Justin ! This whole thing
     is your responsibility !

     Justin
     I know, I know. Alright, Gantz ! I'll show you !

     Sue
     We're going too, Pooy !

     Pooy
     Pu ! Pu !

     Justin
     : We've found it, Gantz ! The first treasure!

     *** NEAR THE BRIDGE

     *** Talk to the boy, Gantz, at the center of the bridge.

     Gantz
     Hey there, Justin ! You took long enough ! Pretty shocking for a
     "world-class adventurer" ! Speaking of adventurers, did you know
     that"The World's End" has nearly been totally explored ? That means
     adventurers will soon be obsolete ! It's inevitable !

     Justin
     What's "The World's End" ?

     Gantz
     What ?! You call yourself a world-class adventurer and you don't even
     know what "The World's End" is ? Well, sounds like you don't have much
     of a chance of finding all 4 treasures before sunset. And when you
     lose, I'll be Sue's master, and she'll be my bride !

     Justin
     Hey, what're you talking about, Gantz ? Surely there's plenty of time
     to search after sunset. Oh yeah, take a look at this !

     **** Justin shows the dirty apron to Gantz.

     Gantz ...heh ? The Armor of Legend, huh ?

     Justin
     He, he... Now how's that for starters ?!

     *** Talk to Gantz again.

     Gantz
     Hmmph, all you've got is the armor, big deal ! Now does Justin, the
     3rd-rate adventurer, need a hint ??

     *** 3 Choices
     1) I'll find them without your help !
     2) Tell me about the Helm of Courage.
     3) Ok, so what's your hint for the Shield of Light?

     **** Choose 1

     Gantz
     ....What !? So think you can find em' without my help, eh ? Even if
     you could find those two, there is no way you'll find the Sacred Soul
     Sword !

     *** Choose 2

     Gantz
     The Helm of Courage, huh ? You'll find it in a place where you can
     hear the sound of rushing waters.

     Justin
     The sound of rushing waters... ?

     **** THE HELM OF COURAGE

     *** Walk alongside the dike that divides the city in half. You'll find a
     staircase going down to the river. If you're having a hard time
     finding it, just rotate the map. You can't miss it. Now walk towards
     the west and you'll see a sparkling item. Click on it.

     Sue
     Hey, Justin. Do you think this pot could be the Helm of Courage ?

     Justin
     Oh yeah, that's right Sue ! This is it ! He, he, he... just you wait,
     Gantz !

     *** Received the used old pot.

     *** Go back to Gantz.

     Gantz
     Hey, Justin ! You've noticed the futility of your search, and have
     come back to grovel before me, right ?

     *** Justin shows Gantz the worn-out pot.

     Gantz
     Ehh !? Dang, the Helm of Courage ! Well, you've still got two more
     treasures left. For now, try finding the Shield of Light. You'll find
     it in a place you can hear seagulls calling.

     Sue
     Seagulls, huh ?

     *** THE SHIELD OF LIGHT

     *** Head to the harbor. Once there, walk forward then left. You should see
     a sparkling item near one of the walls.

     Sue
     Maybe... this saucepan lid could be the Shield of Light !

     Justin
     ....huh ? Hey, that does look like a shield ! Let's get it !

     Received the saucepan lid.

     *** Go back to Gantz.

     Gantz
     So what do you have this time ? Show me !

     Justin
     He, he... I've got the Shield of Light !

     ***  Justin shows Gantz the saucepan lid.

     Gantz
     .... Hmmph ! So you've found the shield, huh ? I guess that means
     you've got 3 of the 4 treasures, but this is where you fail, Justin !
     For the Sacred Soul Sword is next !

     Justin
     Haha ! I'll find the sword before you know it, Gantz ! And when I do,
     I win this challenge !

     Sue
     Still... I haven't seen anything that resembles a sword...

     *** THE SPIRITS SWORD

     *** Talk to Gantz again.

     Gantz
     Listen up, Justin ! The sword is inside my treasure chest within my
     house. But you can't open it, because it's locked tight, loser ! Ohh,
     I wonder where the key could be ! Ha, ha, ha !

     Justin
     The key to his treasure chest... Hmm... I wonder where it is ?

     Gantz
     Hey Justin ! Since you're such a big-shot adventurer opening that
     treasure chest should be a piece of cake for you. Of course if you
     can't, you're certainly not worthy of the title, "adventurer", are you
     ?

     *** Head to Gantz's house. Once inside, click on the treasure chest.

     Justin
     Well, this must be the treasure chest. *Mmmmph* ! Ugh, I can't get it
     open... If only we had the key...

     Sue
     Why don't we ask Gantz's mom ?

     *** Talk to Gantz's mom.

     Gantz's Mom
     Ah, there, finished ! Now where could Gantz and Tentz be off to ? Why,
     it's already time for dinner ! Oh, what is it, Justin ? Can't seem to
     find the key to Gantz's treasure chest, eh ? Ah yes, I remember Gantz
     giving Tentz the key around lunchtime. Why don't go find Tentz and ask
     him about it ?

     *** Go talk to the kid outside of the tavern.

     Tentz
     What am I gonna do ? Oh what am I gonna do !? Sniffle, sniffle,
     *whimper*, *whimper*, WAAAAAAH !!

     Justin
     Hey Tentz, what's wrong ? Why are you crying ?

     Tentz
     Sniffle, sniffle, *hic*... I'll tell but... You wouldn't tell my big
     brother about it, right ?

     *** 2 Choices
     1) Well, I can't be sure until you tell me.
     2) Well... I guess I will probably tell your brother.

     *** Choose 1

     Tentz
     WAAAH ! No, no, that's no good !! If you ended up telling him, he'd
     hit meeeeeeeeeee !! WAAH! WAAH ! Someone's gotta help me... Sniffle,
     sniffle.

     *** Choose 2

     Tentz
     Noooo ! Nooo ! You can't !!! If you told him that I lost the key it
     would be hoooooorible !!!

     Sue
     Hmm.. I see.. Seems like the key to the treasure chest is lost.

     Tentz
     How... How did you know !? I can't believe it !! Sue, you can read my
     mind !?

     Sue
     Hee, hee... Tentz, you poor little kid, that's cute. Now, now, stop
     crying we'll help you find the key, right Justin ?

     Justin
     *smiles* Well, I guess we have no choice, right ? Now Tentz, do you
     have any idea where you might have dropped the key ?

     Tentz
     Sniffle, sniffle... Well I was just by the riverbank near the
     tavern... Then I tripped and fell...

     Sue
     It must be near the river ! Let's check !

     Walk toward the river and crawl all around near the edge of the river,
     until you find the key.

     Justin
     Hey, what's this ? He, he, he ! I've found it !

     Tentz
     Yeah, that's it ! Thanks Justin and Sue !

     Justin
     Well you sure perked up !

     Tentz
     I owe you one, Justin. I won't forget this favor you've done for me.
     Well... At least I'll remember it until the day after tomorrow !

     Sue
     He, he ! Well, looks like you're back to your old self, Tentz ! And to
     think, you were crying your eyes out a while ago.

     Tentz
     Gantz told me to not let you have the key but... Oh go ahead and keep
     it, Justin ! It's my way of repaying you for helping me out. Just make
     sure you tell Gantz that you took the key away from me by force,
     otherwise he'll beat me up ! The Sacred Soul Sword is in the treasure
     chest inside our house. Let's go !

     *** Go back to Gantz's house and try opening up the chest.

     Justin
     Alright ! Let's open the chest !

     Sue
     Boy you sure look excited, Justin ! Pooy thinks so too !

     Pooy
     Pu ! Pu !

     Justin
     Okay... There it is ! The Sacred Soul Sword !

     *** Received the wooden sword.

     *** Go back to see Gantz

     Greg
     Why do you kids do such bad things !? Are you listening to me, Gantz ?
     !

     Justin
     What's going with Gantz over there ? I wonder what he did to make old
     Greg so mad ?

     Sue
     See ? And I told him not to block the bridge ! He's so stupid !
     ....And that's why we're just going to walk across, we had nothing to
     do with it !

     *** Walk toward the bridge.

     Greg
     Hmm ? Wait, ustin ! Were you playing with Gantz ?

     Justin
     Hey, what're you talking about ? I wasn't playing with him !

     Sue
     Th-that's right, Mr. Greg ! We're just passing through... right, Pooy?

     Pooy
     Pu ! Pu, puu !

     Gantz
     You can't believe them ! Of course they were playing with me ! I
     challenged Justin to a treasure hunting contest !

     Greg
     Is that so... ? What's the meaning of this, Justin ! ?

     Justin
     Yikes ! This doesn't look too good ! At any rate, RUN Sue !

     *** THE SEAGULL CAFE

     Justin
     Huf, huf, huf... Aah.. That was close... Jeez, He didn't have to get
     so mad !

     Sue
     Justin, you musn't behave so poorly ! I can't depend on you at all !

     *** Walk up to the counter.

     Lily
     Hey, Justin ! (BONK !)

     Justin
     OWWW ! Mom, what did you do that for !?

     Lily
     Aren't I always telling you not to track mud in the kitchen ?!

     Justin
     Still... Why don't you give me a warning before you bash my head in !?

     Lily
     What are you talking about ? My number one rule of the Seagull Cafe is
     that everyone stays out of the kitchen so I can keep it clean. Got it
     ? Now get out, get out ! Boy, what a troublesome kid ! Always trying
     to enter the kitchen, but never giving me any help !

     Sue
     Hello, Aunt Lily. You know, if you keep bonking Justin's head like
     that, he might get really stupid.

     Lily
     Ha, ha, ha ! Oh don't worry, Sue, Justin's head can't get any worse
     this.

     Justin
     What a terrible thing to say ! How can you say that to your only child
     !?

     Lily
     Why don't you try being a good child, so I can't say such things,
     Justin ?

     Justin
     Hmmph... I'm getting nothing but anger today !

     *** Talk to Lily again.

     Lily
     Nothing but anger... !? JUSTIIIIN ! What have you been doing all day
     !? Ok... I'm calm now. Just tell me the truth, I won't get mad.

     Justin
     That's a lie ! You always get mad at me, even when I tell the truth !

     Lily
     What are you talking about ! You've never tried telling the truth
     before ! Now then, please be honest with me. What did you do today ?

     *** 3 Choices
     1) M-mom... getting angry like this... causes you to get more
     wrinkles.
     2) Actually I've been busy since morning.
     3) I didn't do anything today ! Ask Sue !

     *** Choose 1

     Lily
     That's none of your business ! (BONK !)

     *** Choose 2

     Justin
     Well, actually, I've been busy since dawn, and haven't had any time to
     cause trouble. In fact, there were *tons* of things I had to do.

     Lily
     Hmm... and just what exactly have you been busy doing ?

     Justin
     Eheh, heh, heh... I kinda' forgot that little detail.

     (BONK !)

     Lily
     I can't believe you'd say something so stupid !

     *** Choose 3

     Justin
     I didn't do anything ! Ask Sue ! Even I can't into trouble every
     single day, right ?

     Lily
     Is that right, Sue ?

     Sue
     I-it's true, Aunt Lily ! Justin didn't do anything naughty today.
     H-h-honest... !

     Lily
     Are you sure that's the complete truth, Sue ?

     Sue
     Well, yes... He didn't do anything bad. At least compared to what he
     did yesterday.

     (BONK !)

     Lily
     So you were up to something, after all ! I keep telling you to be
     honest with me. I swear, this kid... Well, I don't know exactly what
     you did, just that you made someone in town angry... Oh well, let's
     have dinner. I've fixed up something new today. You can have dinner
     with us today too, Sue.

     Sue
     Are you sure it's okay ? I've been eating here everyday.

     Lily
     How polite ! Well, your aunt says ok, so don't worry about it. Now
     then, you kids go wait upstairs, alright ?

     *** DINNER WITH LILY

     Lily
     The museum curator had lunch at the restaurant today. Strange, since
     he always simply brings a sack lunch to work. Ah.. oh yes, he also
     mentioned that he wants to see you at the museum tomorrow. Something
     about returning something important he's been safeguarding for you...
     You dont's suppose it's just more junk he had to get rid of ?

     **** Talk to Sue.

     Sue
     Whew, I worked up a big appetite after all that running. We had a
     little adventure, didn't we ?

     Justin
     Yep, but my descendents had truly magnificent adventures ! See those
     those photos on the wall ?

     Sue
     Yeah, your dad was just the greatest adventurer, wasn't he ?

     Justin
     That's right ! And one of these days, my picture will be on that wall
     too ! It'll be right next to my dad's !

     *** Talk to Sue again.

     Sue
     Still, your dad doesn't look like an adventurer from this picture. He
     wasn't too big, and he doesn't really seem that rough and tough.

     Justin
     Still, he was really smart, and always kept detailed writings of all
     his discoveries. He also was calm, no matter what the situation !

     Sue
     Yeah, and Justin is the exact opposite no matter what the situation.
     Hee, hee, hee...

     Justin
     He, he ! But I'll show you, I'm going to be a great adventurer, just
     like him !

     *** Talk to Lily.

     Lily
     I wonder what the Curator's been safeguarding for you ? It must be
     your father's old memento, that Spirit Stone. Now mind you, your
     father wasn't the type to lie, but to think that was the real Spirit
     Stone ! Still, now that I think about it, that little stone was your
     father's most prized possession.

     Sue
     Oh, oh ! I want to hear about the time you and Justin's dad met !

     *** Talk to Lily again.

     Lily
     We met each other onboard a ship the first time. It was a nice, quite,
     moonlit night, and the sea was completely silent.

     Sue
     Did you hear that Justin ? A nice, quite, moonlit night by the sea !
     How romantic~.

     Lily
     And then, all of a sudden, a band of pirates appeared, and in the
     blink of the eye they boarded your father's ship.

     Justin
     Hey ! Now this story's starting to sound interesting ! Hey, hey... so
     what happened after that ?

     *** Talk to Lily again.

     Lily
     Well, the pirate captain caught sight of your father's prized stone.
     Then he drew out his sword and said, "Hand over that stone !"

     Justin
     Really !? You go Dad !!! And then ? And then ?

     Lily
     Well, the pirate captain was very impressed with your dad's courage
     and decided not to take the stone.

     Justin
     Wow, I wonder what type of guys those pirates were ? They were
     probably burly sea men with long beards and big muscles.

     Lily
     A-ha-ha-ha ! Heavens no ! They were all girls who were about your age
     ! In fact, there was one called "Lily the Skull."

     Justin
     Now where have I heard that name before... ? Hmm... Lily... Lily... Oh
     yeah ! That's you, Mom !

     Lily
     A-ha-ha ! You finally noticed ! I was young back then and did all
     sorts of reckless things.

     Sue
     I didn't know Aunt Lily was a pirate ! In that case, I wanna' be a
     pirate too !

     Lily
     Well, I'm actually a little embarrassed by it, so don't tell anyone,
     okay ? Well, I guess everyone probably knows about it by now...

     *** Talk to Sue.

     Sue
     Wow ! So I guess Lily isn't just skilled at cooking and cleaning. When
     I grow up, I want to be just like her !

     *** Select yourself (Justin).

     Lily
     Already finished ? There's plenty left, so don't hesitate to have
     another helping.

     *** 2 Choices
     1) Well then, I guess I'll have another helping !
     2) Nope, I'm stuffed.

     *** Choose 1

     Lily
     Alright then, another helping coming up ! Bon appétit !

     *** Choose 2

     Justin
     Boy, that was delicious !

     Sue
     We have to go visit the museum Curator tommorow, right ? Don't forget
     !

     *** THE MUSEUM

     *** After you awaken...

     Sue
     Morning, Justin
     ! Let's get going !

     *** Go to the museum, it's in the southeast area of Parm.

     Receptionist
     Welcome to the Shogun Baal Memorial Museum ! This museum showcases our
     country's latest developments in the field of archaeology... Ah,
     Justin, you've come to talk to the Curator, right ?

     *** Talk to the receptionist.

     Receptionist
     Hey, Justin, I hope you're aware that adventuring is "out" right now.

     Justin
     Hmmph... as if I cared ! Enough of that already !

     Receptionist
     *snicker* I guess you already knew. The Curator is in the exhibition
     room. Just try not to get into any trouble, ok ? Oh, and we recently
     put up a new poster. It's right next to that sun relief. Why not have
     a look at it ? Try to read the poster.

     Sue
     Hey Justin, what's this say ? Read it to me.

     *** 3 Choices
     1) The Origins of the Baal Memorial Museum
     2) Meshina's Historical Treasures, The Ruins of Saruto
     3) The Archeaological Meaning of "Enjule"

     Justin
     While Shogun Baal was a soldier, he had a keen interest in
     archaeology. At that time, he urged the military to support
     archaeological projects, especially those requiring dangerous
     excavations. He's been quoted to have said, "A man must know history,
     for history contains the greatest lessons one can be imparted with."
     Our Shogun has made many contributions to the field of archaeology,
     among them is the establishment of this museum... Wow, if it wasn't
     for this guy, we'd probably never get to view all these cool relics !

     ***  Choose 2

     Justin
     At the time the Saruto Ruins were discovered, they were the biggest
     the world had seen. Its gigantic size exceeded all expectations. The
     ruins were discovered in the Saruto area northwest of Parm, and are
     thought to have been the stronghold of a powerful ruler in ancient
     times... Hey, my grandfather discovered Saruto Ruins ! And one day,
     I'll make my own great discoveries !

     ***  Choose 3

     Justin
     Enjule is the ancient name for our civilization. Enjulian is the
     ancient equivelent of Parmian, our ancient culture is known as the
     Enjule culture. This term is used to clearly distinguish between
     ancient and modern times in history and archaeology. In modern Parm,
     there is a well known story called the Legend of Enjule. Could this
     story have been passed on from ancient times ? Most experts believe
     that the legend was actually created by a very powerful and
     influential ruler of Enjule. However, the exact meaning of the legend
     remains a mystery to this day.

     *** Go to the exhibit hall and talk to the Curator.

     Justin
     Hey there, Mr. Curator !

     Sue
     Good day to you, Mr. Curator.

     Curator
     Ah, you're just in time, Justin, my boy ! Now why don't you have a
     look this ? (you look up) It's a new Koyokujin image ! We just
     finished restoring it today !

     Justin
     Wow, so this an image of a Koyokujin, huh ? I've never seen a type
     like this before.

     Curator
     Mmm.. Yes, it was excavated by the Garlysle army from the Domu Ruins
     in the new world, Elencia.

     Justin
     Wow, Domu Ruins... Those are the largest ruins in Elencia ! Man, I
     wouldn't mind exploring those someday.

     Curator
     Is that so... Is that so... Well they say that one with a hopeful
     spirit can do great things, Justin. According to the Enjule legend,
     the Koyokujin created a dreamlike world, a true paradise, with the
     power of the Spirit Stone. There are a number of interesting ideas in
     the legend... They are things about a city that floated in the sky, a
     ship that could travel to the stars...

     Justin
     A steam engine that could run forever !

     Curator
     The place where time is frozen, the Holy Land, the home of the Spirit
     Stone !

     Justin and Curator
     And the immortal high priest that lives there !

     Sue
     Uh, do we have to keep going on with this subject ?

     Justin
     That's not very polite, Sue ! Just try to wait a little longer.

     Sue
     I can do that ! I understand the dreams of men. That's why I'm a
     refined lady~.

     Curator
     Ha, ha, ha ! Anyhow, when I try to contemplate the nature of this
     legend, these utopian ideas seem to have almost certainly been
     fabricated by a very influential ruler of Enjule. This king invented
     such things as spirits and Spirit Stones to try to legitimize his
     existence.

     Justin
     Man... Looking at it like that makes it seem so boring. Archaeology
     doesn't seem like much fun.

     Curator
     Ha, ha, ha. I'm sorry ! I too prefer talking about more exciting
     things. Is this scientific talk boring you, Justin, my boy ?

     Justin
     Yeah, and to think that all those fantastic myths and legends may be
     just ordinary things. That seems so depressing.

     Curator
     True. The fantastic ideas of these myths are their true beauty, not
     their assumed origins.... Ah, oh yes ! Before I forget, your father
     left me an artifact called the Spirit Stone.

     Justin
     You've analyzed it, right ? Is it authentic ?

     Curator
     : Ha, ha, ha. I'm not sure really. To begin with, I tried analyzing
     its components, but it's harder than diamond, so I wasn't able to
     study it as much as I wanted to.

     Justin
     Wow, even harder than diamond... ?

     Curator
     Yes, well... I've been trying to think of another way to determine its
     authenticity, but right now I'm going to return it to its rightful
     owner.

     *** He hands you the Spirit Stone.

     Curator
     Here you go. Perhaps you can find out if it has some ancient power.
     Anyway, when you're through examining the image, come to my office.
     I'll give you something I'm sure you'll like. Ha, ha, ha !

     Justin
     The Curator expects me to solve the riddle of the ancient
     civilization, huh ? Well, I, Justin the Adventurer, will do it !

     *** Examine the image.

     Justin
     So this is the Koyokujin image they found at Domu... Hmmm.. Those
     ancient people sure made a lot of these.

     Sue
     So the Domu Ruins are the largest ruins in Elencia, huh ? Wow, Justin,
     you sure know a lot of stuff.

     Justin
     Well, if you want to be an adventurer you have to know these things.
     Still, I get so bored learning about other peoples' adventures. I seem
     like I can just hear the mountains and forests of Elencia just calling
     out to be explored ! And with these bare hands... I will uncover the
     lost civilization of Enjule !

     *** The image breaks.

     Sue
     W-w-w-wha-what did you do, Justin !?

     Pooy
     Pu, pu ! Pupupu !

     Justin
     Ah ! It broke ! W-well, I'll just fix it... Help me, Sue !!

     Sue
     No, i-it's impossible to fix it ! We should just apologize now.

     Justin
     No, I can't ! Did you see how proud the Curator was of this image ?
     Just don't say anything about it, okay ? I remember exactly how it was
     put together, so I can just...

     *** Later...

     Sue
     Is that what it's really supposed to look light ? Somehow it looks...
     different.

     Justin
     ... Well... yes... but, don't you think it looks at least 70% correct
     ? 70% is a passing grade !

     Sue
     In that case... I guess it is a logical substitute. Examine the image
     again.

     Sue
     Justin, it looks really weird.

     Justin
     No, it'll be ok ! Besides, everyone will probably forget all about
     this once I discover Enjule !

     *** Go talk to the curator.

     Curator
     Ah, here it is ! Seeing your warm, smiling faces always brightens my
     day, and I'm sure you'll be smiling up a storm when I give you this...
     Now, it was in my pocket, wasn't it ?

     Justin
     He, he, he. Sounds like you're getting a little forgetful, Mr.
     Curator.

     Curator
     Ha, ha, ha ! Well, old age hasn't gotten the best of me yet ! Oh, and
     I thought I heard a loud noise a while ago, did something happen ?

     CRASH !!

     Justin
     W-what should I do, Sue ? Should I just tell him what happened ?

     Sue
     Hey, don't look at me ! You're the leader !

     *** 2 Choices
     1) N... no it was... uh, nothing.
     2) Actually... I accidently broke that new image.

     *** Choose 1

     Curator
     Is that the truth ? Absolutely nothing happened ?

     *** Choose 2

     Justin
     Well, the truth is... I accidently broke the image.

     Curator
     Ha, ha, ha ! Nice joke, Justin ! Now if that image really were broken,
     it would probably wouldn't be too good for my weak heart. Well, now
     that the jokes are over, I have a present for you.

     Justin
     What is it ? !

     Curator
     A bit impatient, aren't we ? Here it is...

     *** You receive the curator's letter.

     Curator
     The Garlysle Army is currently re-investigating the Saruto ruins. With
     this letter, they'll let you look around the ruins while they work.

          Justin
     ...Really !? Thank you, Mr. Curator !

     Sue
     That's great, Justin ! You were just saying how much you wanted to see
     some ruins just a while ago !

     Pooy
     Puu, puu !

     Curator
     I'm glad I could help ! Now, all you need to do is show this letter to
     the soldiers guarding the ruins, and they should allow you to explore
     the area. Perhaps you can even find out whether that Spirit Stone is
     authentic or not.

     *** Talk to the receptionist on the way out.

     Receptionist
     I wonder what that loud crashing sound was a while ago ?

     Justin
     Ack ! He... he, he. I wonder if it was a mouse or something ?

     Sue
     I know that mouse.... He likes going on adventures....

     OUTSIDE THE RUINS

     *** Talk to the soldier near the fence.

     Soldier
     Hey! Hold it! Kids aren't allowed in here!

     Justin
     Wait a second! Have a look! It's a a letter from the musuem curator.

     Soldier
     Well, I'll be... But what the curator have been thinking, giving kids
     access to these ruins?

     Justin
     Oh, don't worry about those little details. Just let us in, ok?

     Soldier
     Hmm.. Well, I guess I have to now.. You can go in.

     Walk inside the fenced in area. The lieutenants will begin to speak to
     their troops.

     Nana
     Alright troops, fall in! Face your superior officer!

     Saki
     Do you understand the importance of this situation? We've come all the
     way from the new world for this, so we can't leave empty-handed! Make
     sure you don't embarrass us!

     Mio
     You will head to the plaza on the first underground level soon. Please
     standby until you are given the order to proceed.

     Nana
     Alright, now it's time! Get moving! Hurry up, people!

     *** Facing the other lieutenants.

     Nana
     Um, Saki, your troops were late again. I don't think you're
     disciplining them properly.

     Saki
     What are you talking, Nana? I just had them do 3000 squats each!

     Mio
     Saki, you're always trying to think with your muscles instead of your
     brain. The proper way to discipline them is to make them meditate for
     100 days. Don't give them any food or water during this period so they
     can learn the proper technique.

     Nana
     Oh-ho! That's nothing, Mio! I prefer to give them 5000 lashing with my
     whip, pour salt all over them, then stick them in a cell for 100 days!

     Saki
     You'll end up killing them if you do that!

     Mio
     Cmdr. Myuren is going to be upset when hears about that.

     Nana
     Nah, I'm not worried. I forbid my troops to tell anyone about it! Ha,
     ha, ha!

     Mio
     *sigh* We better get going, lest we be late.

     Saki
     Hey, if we're late, it's your troops' fault!

     *** Head toward the entrance of the ruins.

     Nana
     Why are there kids here?!

     Justin
     Alright! So the ruins are underground, right? I'm ready to see them...
     Well, lead the way!

     Nana
     This looks very suspicious... Who are you? Why are you here? Come on!
     Answer me!

     *** 3 Choices
     1) Run madly away from here.
     2) Talk to Sue.
     3) Show them the curator's letter.

     *** Choose 1

     Sue
     Hey, wait a minute, Justin! Don't do anything stupid. How are you
     going to get away from them? It's going to just make them more
     suspicious of us.

     *** Choose 2

     Sue
     Hmm... I despise them. They're so rude!

     *** Choose 3

     Justin
     We've come to check the ruins out. Look, the musuem curator of Parm
     gave us this letter.

     Nana
     Really...? Let's see here...

     Saki
     Hmmm...

     Mio
     What should we do? It looks like the genuine article.

     Justin
     Yeah, that's it! There's nothing suspicous about this at all! So, lead
     on! To the underground level!

     Nana
     You want to go the underground level, eh? Well, alright. Just let me
     see that letter for a second.

     *** She takes it and rips it up.

     Justin
     Wha!?

     Sue
     Aah!

     Nana
     Did you that? Looks like the letter is gone. Now you're considered an
     illegal trespasser.

     Saki
     That's right, that's right! Now we can arrest you, tortue you, and
     then put you to death!

     Mio
     No, they're just children. Let's make an exception for them, ok? Hurry
     and run on home, children.

     Nana
     Well then, Saki, Mio, let's get going. We've wasted enough time with
     these brats.

     *** They walk inside.

     Sue
     What hoooorible people! What did they do that for anyway?! Oh well,
     Justin, I there isn't much we can do now. We should go home now,
     right?

     Justin
     Come on, Sue! An adventurer wouldn't give up so easily!

     *** Try entering the ruins again.

     Sue
     Are you really going inside? I mean, you did hear what those three
     said just a while ago, right?

     Justin
     Certainly, but their behavior revealed to me that there must be
     something they're trying to keep secret down here. This might lead to
     a great adventure!

     Sue
     Honestly, Justin... But you are right about this! I agree, let's go!

     ***  Go inside the ruins and spy on the gathering up ahead.

     Alright, soldiers of the Garlysle Army. Stand at attention for Col.
     Miuren. The investigation of the Saruto Ruins is about to commence.

     Lieutenants
     Yes, ma'am!

     Myuren
     Beloved soldiers of the Garlysle Army. We will now be conducting the
     investigation of the Saruto Ruins. This is our final investigation so
     we need to make sure that we find the final piece that we need. I'll
     tell you right now that going through these ruins will be difficult.
     There might be some of you who won't even make it out of here alive.
     Nevertheless, this is our sworn duty. We have to ensure the success of
     this mission, not only for the glory of the Garlysle Army, but for the
     people as well! We will fulfill the great prophecy from God! Now go
     forth, soldiers of the Garlysle Army, to unlock the gateways of the
     ancient world! And Godspeed... to all of you.

     Lieutenants
     Yes sir~!

     Leen
     Bloody Rose Squad, your assignment is to search the Eastern section of
     the ruins. The Lightning star squad will investigate the western
     section. As for the Desert Moon Squad, your assignment will be the
     southern sector. Squad leaders, you're now in charge. Please do a good
     job!

     Myuren
     Ha, ha. At any rate, let's get going, Lyn.

     Leen
     Yes, sir!

     Sue
     Did you hear all that, Justin?

     Justin
     Yeah, it sounds like something big is going on.

     ***  Go down to the 2nd floor, and go up some stairways to a large stone
     face.

     Soldier 1
     This image looks interesting. Maybe we should report it to Cmdr.
     Myuren.

     Soldier 2
     Hmm... that sounds like a good idea! Let's go!

     Justin
     Whew... that was close. They nearly found us.

     *** Approach the image.

     Justin
     This is the image those soldiers were talking about a while ago, huh?
     It looks pretty mysterious.

     ***  Something begins to glow.

     Sue
     J-Justin! What's happening to you?! Your rear is glowing!

     Justin
     It looks like it's coming from my pocket! It's the Spirit Stone! I've
     never seen it do anything like this before!

     Sue
     Uh.. it looks like it must be pretty hot.

     Justin
     W-what the?! The image.... It was an entrance all along.... So what should
     we do? Should we go inside?

     Sue
     I wonder why it opened all of a sudden? Was it because the Spirit
     Stone was glowing?

     Justin
     That's it, Sue! There must be some connection between the Spirit Stone
     and the ancient civilization here. Hey.. That means this stone is
     authentic! Heh, heh, heh... Alright!! The soldiers in here don't even
     know this place exists! We've made it here first!

     Go inside. You'll make your way to an eye etched into a wall.

     Justin
     Wow.. I've never heard of anything like this being found in one of
     these ruins... It's seems like it's alive.. I think we're on the
     threshold of making a great discovery relating to the Enjule
     civilization! Don't you think so, Sue?

     Sue
     J-Justin! The stone's glowing again!

     Justin
     Sue, I'm being summoned inside by Enjule!

     ***  Go inside.

     Voice
     Welcome, bearer of the Spirit Stone...

     Justin
     Uh... Sue, did you say something just now?

     Sue
     Nope! Not a word.

     The light in the center of the room shines brightly.

     Justin
     Woah! Incredible!

    ***  Head toward the light^_^

     Justin and Sue
     Ahhh!!

     Justin
     W-what, what's happening!?

     Riethe
     Welcome, bearer of the Spirit Stone. Symbol of the ancient contract.

     Justin
     Who are you!?

     Riethe
     I am Riethe of Alent, entwined in the history of Enjule, I descend
     from ages past.

     Sue
     Ahhhhhh! We're gonna fall! We're gonna fall!

     Riethe
     Don't be frightened. This our world, among the stars... Please let me
     ask, why did you unlock the gateway to here?

     Justin
     Um, ah... well, I didn't really think about it. Oh yeah, how did you
     know I was carrying the Spirit Stone back there anyway?

     Riethe
     Without it, you could not open the Enjulian gateway outside.

     Justin
     Enjule... so it isn't just a legend?

     Riethe
     Correct, it is real. The Spirit Stone you carry is evidence of a
     contract made between humans and spirits.. Please watch this...

     ***  An FMV plays...

     Narration
     This is the world of Enjule. In this world, the winged Koyokujin
     brought forth light, and the spirits gave the land their eternal
     blessing. All of mankind was prosperous during this time, but
     eventually humans began to wrestle for power and rule over their
     brothers, corrupting the path of righteousness. The Koyokunin and
     spirits are the only ones remaining that have not strayed from the
     true path...

     That stone you carry used to belong to the Koyokujin.

     Sue
     Hey, Justin. This sounds awfully like the Legend of Enjule, don't you
     think?

     Justin
     I was thinking the exact same thing, but exactly how is Enjule
     connected to the myth? Um, it's Riethe, right? Tell me! Did all the
     events in the myth really happen?

     Riethe
     ........

     Justin
     Tell us, Riethe! Is it all true?

     Riethe
     .... Within this question there is but one answer... If you seek
     answers, you must head toward Alent. Do you seek answers?

     ***  2 Choices
     1) Yeah, there a lot of things I want to know about this!
     2) Ummmm... now how do I put this...

     ***  Choose 1

     Riethe
     If you want to know more, then you have to travel to a land far to the
     east. Let me warn you, however, that finding Alent will require a lot
     of time. It will definitely be a long and arduous journey. Follow the
     path of righteousness and you shall surely never be led astray. Let
     the Spirit Stone guide you, and make sure that you and the sacred soul
     stone are as one. Always keep it near you. To Alent. Seeker of
     answers, head toward Alent.

     Justin
     Eastern land...? Alento...? Does that mean that we'll have to cross the
     sea and go to the new world, Elencia? Riethe! About Alento.... If we go
     to the new continent, will we see you? I mean, will you and the
     Koyokujin contact us? Wait, Riethe!

     Riethe
     Never forget... the radiance of the Spirit Stone will guide you... You
     must go now. I, Riethe, will lie in eternal wait for your arrival...

     Sue
     Riethe... she's gone.

     Justin
     Ah...

     Sue
     Was it all just a dream? It seemed so real...

     Justin
     Oh... But we both saw it, right?

     Sue
     Justin! The stone's shining again! It's shining right now!

     Justin
     W-what? There it goes again!

     Sue
     Unbeeelievable! That's unbelievable, Justin!

     Justin
     Oh yeah, now I remember! The stone really is authentic! And things we
     saw, they weren't just a dream; they were real! Riethe is real!

     Justin
     That's it! I've made up my mind! I'm going to Alent, and I'll meet the
     Koyokujin! I'll find Enjule before you know it! And then... And
     then... oh well, I'm going to Alent for sure! Yes! Only I can pull
     this off! Justin the Adventurer! Alright! Let's do it!

     ***  Attempt to leave.

     Myuren
     ......! Who are you!?

     Justin
     Ahh! Great, they found us!

     Myuren
     Children, in here!? But how... Leen, secure the exit.

     Leen
     Yes, Cmdr. Myuren.

     Myuren
     There are quite a few things I'd like to ask you about. Don't even
     think of trying to escape.

     Sue
     Wh-wh-what should we do!? JUSTIIIIN!

     Justin
     I'll get us out of this somehow!

     Myuren
     Answer truthfully... or consider your life over.

     Leen
     Cmdr. Myuren, please don't do anything rash. They're only children.

     Myuren
     I am quite aware of that, but if they dare jest with me, it won't
     matter whether they're children or not..

     Sue
     Th-thi-this guy... He's not joking Justin... I can tell!

     Myuren
     Now then, your name?

     ***  3 Choices
     1) My name? My name's Alexander.
     2) My name's... Justin.
     3) I have no name!

     Myuren
     Alexander, hmm....what a brave sounding name. But, this girl seemed to
     be calling you by a different name, Justin perhaps?

     ***  Choose 2

     Myuren
     Hmm, hmm. I feel that you have answered obediently. A while ago I
     heard this girl calling that name a number of times.

     ***  Choose 3

     Myuren
     Hmm, seems you're trying to hide your name from me... Don't think you
     can fool me so easily... I heard this girl calling a name a while
     ago... Justin?

     ***  All choices

     Myuren
     Resolve yourself to the truth, for if your antics try my patience... I
     will not hesiate to kill this girl.

     Leen
     Cmdr. Myuren!

     Myuren
     This is my sworn duty. And I wouldn't hesitate to take the life of a
     young boy or girl if I have to. Now then, did you open that entrance?

     ***  3 Choices
     1) It was open when we got here.
     2) I don't know what gateway your talking about.
     3) Well, I suppose I was the one who opened it.

     ***  Choose 1 or 2.

     ***  Myuren swings his sword.

     Justin
     Ahh!!

     Myuren
     I thought I told you to reslove yourself to telling the truth... I've
     given you your last chance, youngster...

     Sue
     Justin!! You're bleeding!!

     Myuren
     If you don't want to die, answer this one with total obedience. What
     did you see within these ruins?

     ***  Choose 3

     Myuren
     Is that so. Up to this point, even the best of adventurers have failed
     in opening that entrance. Now, I will ask you one last question. What
     did you see inside these ruins?

     ***  3 Choices
     1) I saw a mysterious but beautiful girl!
     2) There was this strange looking room, but I didn't see anything in
     there.
     3) There was a strange light floating around and I saw an image of the
     ancient civilization.

     ***  Choose 1

     Myuren
     A mysterious girl...? It must Riethe of Alent? Riethe... so she's
     real...

     ***  Choose 2

     Myuren
     You didn't see anything? You lie! I can see it on your face. It
     doesn't seem like you're going to cooperate. Since I don't want to
     waste my time... I'll simply kill you and try asking this girl.

     Sue
     Stop!! We met a girl and a strange light flew around!!

     Myuren
     I see that the girl is the wiser one. Be grateful to her. If it wasn't
     for her, you would be dead now. Hmm... A light and a girl... the
     girl... Riethe of Alent! The light, a spirit!

     *** Choose 3

     Myuren
     A strange light...? A spirit, perhaps... The image...? Possibly an
     image of the early Enjule civilization. Hmm... Yes, I see... You have
     the soul of an adventurer within you, young lad.

     *** All choices

     Leen
     Cmdr. Myuren...what do you intend to do with these two? Certainly we
     can't just leave them here.

     Myuren
     Don't worry, Leen. Since knowledge of this operation needs to be
     guarded with the utmost secrecy, we'll draft these two into the
     military intelligence division so they won't reveal any information
     concerning this.

     Sue
     Whaaaat!? You're taking us with you? I thought you would let us go
     home...

     Myuren
     Little girl, I know it sounds unreasonable, but you've broken the law.
     You can't return now.

     Sue
     What!? You lie; we didn't do anything wrong! Then I'm going to be in
     the army for the rest of my life!? NO!!! No, No, No....

     Justin
     Don't worry, Sue! Somehow, we can get by them! As long as we're
     together, we can do anything!

     Myuren
     Ha... but even if you can escape from this room, you'll never leave
     Saruto! Ha, ha, ha! So what do you intend to do...? How are you going
     to get past me?

     Sue
     Ohhhhhhh!! Justin...uhh...over there, over there...

     Justin
     Heh, heh. I see... Well! Time to sink or swim!! Sue, let's go!

     Sue
     Yeah! Around and around we go!

     Myuren
     What the-!?

     Justin
     Yes! Let's go, Sue!!

     Myuren
     My minion will be ready for you...! You won't leave Saruto alive!

     *** Try to escape.

     Sue
     L-look! Justin!! What is that?!

     *** After battling the Rockbird.

     Justin
     What the heck was that doing here? It wasn't here when we entered the
     first time!

     Sue
     I bet that Myuren creep had something to do with it!

     Justin
     Oh well, it really doesn't matter now. Let's get out of here.

     Myuren
     Unbelieveable....they already defeated the Rockbird... Haaaaaa, ha,
     ha, ha, ha!

     Leen
     Com... Commander Myuren?!

     Myuren
     Those two!! To think! They outwitted ME?!

     Leen
     Cmdr. Myuren...? Uh.. should we pursue them?

     Myuren
     The small amount of information they possess about Alent will not
     affect our plan. We'll just overlook this incident... What was that
     youngster's name?

     Leen
     I think it was Justin...

     Myuren
     Justin...what a pleasent fellow. I haven't had such laughed like this
     in ages! Ha, ha, ha, ha!

     Justin
     Yess! We made it!! He, he, he... it really wasn't a dream. I'm finally
     going on a great adventure!

     Sue
     Wait a second! We still have to get away from here, right? C'mon,
     let's go back to Parm now.

      Boy, all that adventuring leaves me starved! Let's hurry home.

      *** Return to the Seagull Cafe (where Lily is).

      Sue
      Hey, hey, Justin. I think it's nice that you want to meet Liette and
      all but... do you know just exactly how you're going to get to the new
      continent?

      Justin
      Of course I do! We'll have to get onboard a ship.

      Sue
      And just exactly how are you going to get on a ship?

      Justin
      Eep... uh... that's uh.... I'll just ask Mom! I bet she'll know!

      Welcome home Justin. I already have dinner ready. Hurry up and wash
      your hands.

      *** Select Lily.

      Justin
      Hey, hey mom! Do you know the best way to get on one of those ships
      that go to the new world?

      Lily
      Hmm... let's see... Well, I used to have my own ship so I never had to
      deal with that.

      Sue
      Lilly the Skull had a pirate ship!

      Lily
      Oh well, if you want to get on one of those ships, I guess you'll
      have to ask around over at the harbor.

      Justin
      Hey, that's right! Alright, Sue. We're going to drop by the harbor
      tomorrow.

      Lily
      By the way Justin, it looks like you've got more mud on yourself
      than usual. Where have you been playing at?

      Justin
      I wasn't playing mom. The curator gave me a letter to get into the
      Saruto Ruins so I could conduct scientific research!

      Lily
      Gurgh... HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!!! You were doing scientific research, you
      say? HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!!! That's funny.

      Justin
      What's so funny? Mmm... does she comprehend the importance of
      scientific research?

      *** Select Lily again.

      Lily
      Oh yeah, the curator said a lot of nice things about you. He said
      you were a very enthusiastic young boy.

      Justin
      Oh really... heh, heh. I wonder if that means he's forgiven me for
      breaking that image...wah! Oops!

      Lily
      HEY, JUSTIN!!! You know that I don't want to hear about stuff like
      that! Now just exactly what did you do now? Oh well, I guess there's
      really nothing much we can do about you. I'll just talk to the
      curator tomorrow. Now do you understand why I always scold you when
      you enter the kitchen without my permission?

      *** Select Sue.

      Sue
      You know I'm really curious. The new continent is called Erenshia,
      right? When compared to the continent Palm is on, Meshina, which one
      is bigger?

      Lily
      Oh yeah, huh? That's a good question. Well, they say that there's
      nothing beyond the World's End...

      Justin
      Hey, hey, I know about that! Isn't the World's End supposedly where
      the physical world as we know it ends? I have a hard time believing
      that the world suddenly ends somewhere.

      *** Select Sue again.

      Sue
      Hey, Justin. What kind of place do you think the World's End is?

      Justin
      I'm sure we'll understand better once we see it. Anyway, let's make
      sure that we drop by the harbor tomorrow.

      *** Select Justin.

      Justin
      Mmm, that was delicious!

      Sue
      Well, if we're gonna go to the new continent, we'll have to do our
      best to find a way there tomorrow, Justin.

      THE NEXT DAY

      Sue
      Good morning, Justin!

      *** Go to the harbor and speak to the burly sailor..

      Sailor
      *gulp* The punishment for breaking the Law of the Ocean is being
      tossed into the sea... Well, I guess my friends who are trying to
      stowaway on a ship to the Elencia without a pass deserve it..

      Justin
      A ship pass...? What! You mean, you can't go to the new continent
      without some sort of passport?

      Sailor
      You didn't know that, kid? Unless, you're a soldier or something,
      the only way that you can board a ship is with a ship pass.

      Justin
      Hey, hey, so do you know how to get one? I'd really like to go see
      the new continent too.

      Sailor
      Is that so? Well, I guess the fastest way to get a pass is to get it
      from someone who already has one. Now that you mention it, I think I
      saw an old pass at the tavern. Some old man was showing it to
      someone while telling him about his adventures. I think his name was
      Jin.

      Justin
      Great, a fellow adventurer! I bet he'll help us out. He was at the
      tavern in North Parm, right?

      Go to the tavern. It's the place where you helped Tentz find Gantz's
      key.

      Lady
      Arg... I hate my life... Always working... Not a single vacation for
      me... *grumble* *grumble*

      Justin
      Hey, hey, we're looking for this adventurer. Can we go inside so we
      can talk to him?

      Lady
      What are you talking about? You're still kids! Anyway, I'm really
      busy right now. Honestly, that fellow... it looks like he was in such
      a hurry to leave that he accidently to took the keys with him!

      Justin
      Hmm... so some guy accidentally left with the tavern keys, huh? We'll
      find him for you!

      Lady
      You're offering to help me? Well then, bring me the keys and I'll
      make an exception for you guys. How about if I let you in tonight,
      does that sound good? Now I swear... that kid! He's probably at the
      Seagull Cafe or the harbor.

      *** Go to the harbor and look for a guy in a blue hat.

      Guy
      Aaah.... Man, I've got to wash dishes today. The pay's okay, but it's
      really tiring. Plus, it ruins the hands.

      Sue
      Ah, Justin! This is that guy that the tavern lady was talking about!

      Justin
      Yep, there's no mistake about it! Hey, are you that guy who has the
      keys to the tavern?

      Guy
      Huh? "Keys" you say? AAAH! I still have the keys in my pocket! Hey,
      can I ask you guys a favor? Can you please tell Mama that I'm just
      resting for a bit?

      *** Received tavern keys

      Justin
      "Mama?" Oh, you mean the tavern lady? Sure! Just leave it to us!

      *** Go back to the tavern....

      Justin
      Hey, lady, lady! We found it! This is it, right?

      *** Handed tavern keys over

      Lady
      You're right! This is it! Now I can open the tavern! Thanks for all
      your trouble! We're gonna have this really good jellyfish sake
      today. I'm sure that the guests will be very pleased.

      Justin
      That's just great, lady. Now about your promise....

      Lady
      I know, I know. Okay, I still have to set the tavern up. Come back
      later, okay?

      WITHIN AN AIRSHIP OF THE GARLYSLE ARMY

      Baal
      So Miuren, have you still not turned anything up so far? You really
      have kept me waiting.

      Myuren
      My deepest apologies father. It's just that I encountered an
      unexpected annoyance...

      Baal
      No need for explanations. What I do need to know is if you have
      found the item.

      Myuren
      Unfortunately, I wasn't able to meet your expectations, father. I am
      prepared to face any punishment for our failure.

      Baal
      .... Ha, ha, ha.... Punishment you say? If you couldn't do the task,
      then I don't think that anyone else could... Now you will prepare
      immediently for our next operation. Get ready to depart!

      *** Baal departs.

      Leen
      I wonder what Shogun Baal is in such a hurry for? Didn't he say
      that the plan was still going on as scheduled?

      Myuren
      My father has his own ideas about this plan... You should not
      question them.

      Leen
      I'm sorry.... My behavior was unacceptable.

      Myuren
      No... it's alright. Don't worry about it, Leen.

      Leen
      Ah... yes, sir.

      Myuren
      In the end, we weren't able to acquire anything from the Saruto
      Ruins.... Well, that's not totally true... now that I think about it....
      Ha, ha, ha, ha!

      Leen
      C-Commander Myuren!

      Myuren
      That boy was actually quite amusing.... Justin, was it?

      Leen
      Um... you know, Col. Miuren. It is quite unusual for you to be
      laughing like that.

      Myuren
      That little incident underground has put me in high spirits. It
      actually helped alleviate what normally would have been a tedious
      task. At any rate, it's time for us to depart, Leen. Our
      destination, the new world, Elencia!

      BACK IN PARM

      Sue
      Hey, Justin. I wonder what kind of adventurer Jin is? I can't wait
      to find out!

      *** Go to the tavern.

      Justin
      Here it is! Here it is! This is my first time in here so I'm really
      excited!

      Sue
      It's okay! It's okay! Nobody's gonna get mad so just go ahead and
      enter.

      Barkeep
      Oh, hey there! You're the ones who helped with the keys a while ago
      right? Thanks! I want to give you something to express my gratitude.

      Justin
      Aha, ha, ha... uh oh. But, well, I didn't think that you were going to
      be the one to thank us, Rulia.

      Rulia
      Quit it, Justin! You brought me the keys remember?

      Justin
      Eh?! You're that old lady from this afternoon?!

      Sue
      You mean you didn't know, Justin? Women can use magic to change
      their appearance.

      Rulia
      Me, use magic? Ha, ha, ha! That's funny Sue. Anyway, it looks like
      Jin isn't here today. You might just want to talk to some of the
      guests. See that man in the corner over there? He's always listening
      to Jin's stories. Go over and ask him about old Jin.

      *** Talk to the man in the corner.

      Man
      Jin, huh? That self proclaimed, "great adventurer" that waddles down
      here from the abandoned mines on Mt. Reck, right?

      Justin
      "Self proclaimed", huh? That doesn't sound too good... Anyway, I
      think that's the right guy. Tell me more about him.

      Man
      Hmm... Well, he said that when he was young he was the greatest
      adventurer in Mecina, but since there are so few job opporitunites
      for adventurers now, all does is sit in this bar all day talking
      about the "good ole' days" to all the drunkards in here, and when
      he's not in the bar he stays secluded in the old abandoned Reck
      Mines.

      Sue
      Hmm... I didn't think anyone lived in the Reck Mines.

      *** Try to leave.

      Sue
      Uh oh, Pooy accidently gobbled up some peanuts. Now we've got to
      apologize to Rulia.

      Pooy
      Puu, pu, puu...

      *** Talk to Rulia.

      Rulia
      So Pooy gobbled down some peanuts, did he?

      Justin
      I think he regrets it, so perhaps you could overlook this tiny
      thing?

      Rulia
      No... I can't overlook this, but perhaps if you did me a little
      favor... You see, when that Jin fellow came in here last time, he
      accidently left his wallet. I'd like someone to deliver it back to
      him...

      Justin
      No problem! We're heading up there anyway. We'll need take a train.
      Hmm... I know there's one that heads up to Mt. Reck from the train
      station in Parm. Leave it all to me!Rulia
      Oh yeah, Jin left his wallet in the tavern. Are you planning on
      going to Reck Mines?

      Pooy
      Puu! Puuu! Pu, pu, pu, puu!

      Sue
      Got it Pooey! Hey, Justin. Pooey's getting really hungry. Let's go
      home.

      *** Return to the Seagull Cafe.

      Lily
      Hey, Justin! BONK!

      Justin
      Oww! W-What was that for, Mom! I didn't track in any mud today!

      Lily
      And just what time do you think it is? You got me worried being out
      this late! Oh well, since you made it back safely, I guess it's
      okay. Get ready for dinner then.

      Justin and Sue
      Yeah!!

      AT DINNER

      Sue
      I hope that we get a pass after we visit Jin tomorrow, right Justin?

      Justin
      He must be a great adventurer. I can't wait to meet him.

      *** Select Sue.

      Sue
      You know, this Jin person must be pretty scatterbrained, since he
      forgot he about his wallet.

      Justin
      ... Yeah, even I wouldn't forget that.

      Sue
      How can you remember that and always forget to feed Pooy? Isn't that
      right, Pooy?

      Pooy
      Puu! Puu!

      *** Select Lily.

      Lily
      So you're going to Reck Mines to see Jin, huh? Well, I can tell you
      not to go because it's dangerous but that probably won't stop
      you--you being an adventurer and all. But since you won't be going
      alone, promise me that you'll protect Sue, okay? This is your
      responsibility!

      Justin
      Of course! Don't forget that I'm an adventurer!

      *** Select Justin.

      Sue
      We're going to the Reck Mines tommorow so that we can meet Jin.
      Don't forget, Justin!

      THE NEXT DAY

      Sue
      Good morning, Justin! Let's get going!

      *** Go to the train station in Parm and talk to the man inside.

      Man
      Oh hello, Justin! Do you want me to let you have another look inside
      the train?

      Justin
      No, today I want to go to the Reck Mines, so I can return this
      wallet to some guy named Jin.

      Man
      Is that so... So he lost that, huh...? Well, the tickets are on me.
      You can ride free today!

      Sue
      Really!? Thank you very much, mister!

        ARRIVAL AT RECK MT.

        Man
        Alright, you two, take care of yourselves out there!

        Justin
        Got it! Thanks!

        Sue
        Thank you, elderly man!

        Man
        So I'm an elderly man already? Ha, ha, ha... I just don't understand kids these
        days...

        *** Enter Jin's house.

        Justin
        Huh? There's nobody here. It looks like he just left the house without even
        bothering to lock it. Well I guess there's really nothing we can do about it now.
        I'll just put the wallet here.

        Jin
        Hey! Who the hell are you guys!!! What do you think you're doing just barging into
        my house without permission! Why you little thieves!!! Get your filthy hands offa'
        my wallet!!!

        Justin
        Huh!? No, no, you've got it all wrong! See, we're searching for a pass to...

        Sue
        Don't tell him about that, Jusitn! He won't understand! Tell him about the wallet!
        The wallet!

        Jin
        Fwa-ha-ha-ha! You youngins can't fool me! There's not a single chink in my armor;
        I'm ready for anything you've got! Ah! An idea! Maybe I can reform you! Yea, I'll
        lead you away from the dark side!

        Sue
        Justin, is this guy really Jin? He sure doesn't look like an adventurer to me.

        Jin
        Hey, you little runt! I WAS an adventurer-- the key word here being WAS! You
        fellas, on the other hand, are still actively adventuring I believe.

        Sue
        Wha, how did you know that?

        Justin
        Oh yeah, I nearly forgot! We've come here to ask for your help...

        *** After Justin tells his story...

        Justin
        So that's why we're here.

        Jin
        O-ho! Came here for a pass to the new world, have ya? Well let me ask you
        something, why do you want to go to Elencia?

        Justin
        I'm going to travel to eastern Elencia and discover Enjule!

        Jin
        What the- Enjule!? Hah, hah, hah! That's rich! Ee, hee, hee, hee!

        Justin
        What's your problem!? It's no laughing matter! I'm serious!

        Jin
        Oh? Ah, *HACK*! Sorry, sorry... It's just that, well... Enjule...

        Justin
        It DOES exist! I know!

        Jin
        Hmm... I think I can understand your story. I guess I should give you a pass...

        Justin
        Really!? Thanks!

        Jin
        Gyaah, I'm not through!! I can't just give it to you for nothing! Ahem, if thou
        surmount the test I have put before thee, I will bestow upon thee what ye desire!
        Now then, that's how adventurers are supposed to do things!!!

        Justin
        Ow! My ears! W-well... ok, I'm ready for this test!

        Sue
        That's the spirit, Justin!

        Jin
        Yeah, kid, you've got to keep your spunk! Ah, *HACK*! Now then, let's get started!
        Follow me to the mines, and remember, no wimpering will be tolerated!

        AT THE ENTRANCE

        Jin
        This is the entrance to the Reck Mines. A bunch of ancient monsters have taken up
        residence in here, and their groaning and growlings sounds are keeping me up at
        night. I want you to exterminate the leader of the monsters. If you do it, I'll
        give you a pass. And thusly, I have bestowed a great test upon thee!

        Sue
        Yikes, that place is dark and creepy looking.

        Jin
        Ah, *HACK*! Of course it is! Well then, are you going to just run home now?

        Justin
        Are you kidding!? We're headin' in! You wait here, Jin!

        Jin
        Hmm... I wonder if I should let them go in. I'm not sure if they can handle it...
        Ah yes, well, are you heading in right now or are you going to rest first?

        *** 3 Choices
        1) Let me at them!
        2) No, we'll go inside in a little while.
        3) %%Save%%

        *** Defeat the boss within the mines.

        Sue
        We did it, Justin! Jin is certain to give us a pass now... W-what's going on!?

        Justin
        Ah! If we stick around here, we'll be buried! Let's get outta' here!

        *** Leave the boss's chamber.

        Jin
        What are you doing!? Over here... Get over here!

        Sue
        Oh! It's Jin!

        Jin
        Don't just stand there like an idiot! Come on! The mine's collapsing!

        *** After the escape.

        Jin
        You alright? Remember a world-class adventurer never gives up! You panicked under
        pressure and failed in noticing the escape route. You're hopeless!

        Sue
        Huh? You mean we failed? But we tried our very hardest!

        Jin
        Let me teach you something important; a true adventurer doesn't lose hope no
        matter what the circumstances! You must remember this lesson in Elencia!
        Furthermore, you must always try to maintain your devotion and...

        Justin
        Huh!? Jin, does that mean...

        Jin
        You two show great potential. Ah, and even if this turns out to be a wild goose
        chase you can always lie, eh? Here you go, the pass to the new world, Elencia.
        Take it, Justin.

        Justin
        Alright! Now we can go to Elencia!

        Sue
        Yay...! Um, cool! Hee, hee... Huh!? Am I imagining things or does something
        smell... odd?

        Jin
        Oh that's me. I'm so excited and happy I'm just soaking in sweat, blood, tears,
        and various other things I don't quite understand! E-hee-hee!

        Justin
        Eeeh!

        Sue
        Eek!

        Jin
        Alright, Justin, remember, you have wings, but those wings are for you alone.

        Justin
        Wings... for me alone...

        Jin
        But don't forget, during the hardest of times, an adventurer can't just depend on
        a pass. You have to trust your heart. That's because an adventurer's heart is his
        greatest strength. Now go forth! And just promise me one thing, Justin! I want you
        to return and tell me of places that I've never seen. I'll be waiting here for
        you!

        Justin
        I promise you, Jin! Well then, let's get going.

        Sue
        Thanks Jin! Wow, this is really great, Justin! Now let's go home. We can't be
        late!

        Justin
        Uh, Jin.. there's something I'd like to ask you...

        Jin
        It's about the little one, isn't it? Well there's only one thing I can say, you
        must walk this path alone, Justin... Got it?

        Sue
        What's the matter, Justin? Hurry up! Come on, let's go home!

        Justin
        Alright, alright... Thanks for the pass, Jin! It really means a lot to me.

        Jin
        Bye, Jin! Take care of yourself, okay?

        BACK AT THE TRAIN STATION

        Sue
        What's wrong, Justin? You've been keeping to yourself ever since we left Reck
        Mines.

        Justin
        R-Really? Don't worry, it's nothing.

        Sue
        Hey, I wonder what kind of place the new continent is? I betcha' it's fun and
        interesting!

        *** They move outside.

        Sue
        Wow! I can't believe we're both really going on an adventure! I'm sure everybody's
        going to be surprised. If we both leave though, Aunt Lily's going to be really
        sad.

        Justin
        Sue, please don't tell my mom anything about this.

        Sue
        Huh? What do you mean? I don't understand....

        Justin
        Jin said that from this point on, it's not fun and games anymore. You'll have to
        stay here, Sue.

        Sue
        What are you saying, Justin? Didn't we both promise that no matter what happens,
        we'll always stick together?

        Justin
        I've already made up my mind. I can't take a kid along with me!

        Sue
        ... ... ...!

        Justin
        The ship will be leaving tomorrow. I'm planning on leaving early so it's okay if
        you don't see me off.

        Sue
        I'm not a kid.... I'm not a kid! What's going on, Justin! You wouldn't even have
        gotten that ship pass if I didn't help you out!

        Justin
        Sue....

        Sue
        I don't know you! You can go ahead and die for all I care!!!

        *** Sue runs away.

        Justin
        I promise, Sue. Once I've become an adventurer, I'll come back. Then we can both
        go on an adventure together. What the-? 

        ***  Sue comes back to give Justin a little bit of love...

        Sue
        Justin!!! You rotten traitor!!! BAM!!!!!!!!!!

        Justin
        OWWWW!!!

        *** Head toward the Seagull Cafe.

        Gantz
        Hey, Justin! Just what the heck did you do now? I just saw Sue run by crying!

        Justin
        Gantz.... It was nothing... really....

        Gantz
        O-ho! So you had an argument, huh? I guess I'm going to be Sue's wife after all!

        Justin
        Please take good care of Sue.

        Gantz
        H-hey now... what's wrong with you Justin? You're starting to creep me out! I'd
        normally expect you to give me a challenge after I say something like that. Hmmm...
        now I get it....

        *** Talk to Lily.

        Lily
        Welcome home, Justin. Dinner's ready. I prepared your favorate dish today!

        *** 3 Choices
        1) I'm... I'm going to look around town some more...
        2) I'm ready to eat...
        3) %%Save%%

        *** Choose 1.

        Lily
        What's wrong Justin? Your usual response is an ectstatic "My favorate!? ALRIGHT!!"
        Ah... it looks like Sue isn't with you. Did you make her upset again, Justin? Oh
        well, I don't know what you guys argued about, but I'm sure that you're old enough
        to realize your mistakes. Alright then, let's go eat.

        *** AT DINNER

        *** Select Lily.

        Lily
        You know, it's been awhile since we just ate by ourselves. I guess this isn't too
        bad. Still, I'm kind of sad that Sue's not here. Hopefully, she'll be back
        tomorrow.

        Justin
        Don't worry, mom. Starting tomorrow, Sue's gonna be here everyday.... I'm sure....

        *** Select Lily again.

        Justin
        Oh, oh, this is just delicious! I don't think I've ever tasted anything so good
        since the day I was born!

        Lily
        A-ha-ha-ha! What an exaggeration! I've been cooking this for you the same way for
        years. Although, my cooking is one of my b points.

        Justin
        Err, well... but today it's especially delicous! Yeah, it's special today!

        Lily
        Uh huh... Boy, you're a strange child... Just when I thought I had you figured
        out...

        *** Select Lily.

        Justin
        Oh yeah, I nearly forgot. Mom, where are you storing all our photographs?

        Lily
        Photographs...? Oh, I think I put them in the drawer over there.

        Justin
        You put the one you took on my birthday over there too, right? The really
        cool-looking one where I'm brandishing a sword!

        Lily
        I think so... but why ask all of the sudden?

        *** Select Lily

        Lily
        Oh, by the way, the ship's leaving tomorrow. Are you going to see it?

        Justin
        Wha-wha-wha... *Gulp!* Why did you bring that up so suddenly?

        Lily
        Right now, you're just a kid, but when you get older, you'll start going on your
        own adventures....

        Justin
        ... ... ....

        Lily
        Hey, Justin. Do you want to sleep next to mommy tonight? It'll be just like when
        you were a kid!

        Justin
        What are you talking about, mom? I'm not a kid anymore! And I certainly can't
        sleep there tonight!

        Lily
        Ha-ha-ha! Calm down, Justin! Don't you think you're being a little harsh? Ah... that
        was funny... you made me laugh so hard I started to cry...

        Justin
        M-mom... I... actually tomorrow I....

        Lily
        ... I'm going to bed now, Justin. I'll just listen to what you have to say
        tomorrow....

        Justin
        Oh.... alright... Good night, mom...

        Lily
        Hurry up and go to bed, okay?

        *** THE NEXT MORNING

        Justin
        Hmm... time for me to get ready. I guess I won't be seeing this room for a while.
        Okay, I'm off!

        *** Go downstairs.

        Justin
        I'm sorry father... sorry that I didn't tell mom that I was leaving. It's just that
        I want to go the new continent so I can be just like you and grandfather. I want
        to have all kinds of adventures and travel around the world. I'm finally going to
        be an adventurer... just like you... and it's all thanks to this stone you gave me!
        Thanks to it, I now know that the ancient civilization of Enjule is in Elencia. I
        wonder if you felt this way at the dawn of your adventures... I wonder if I can
        ever be like you... You were so strong and brave.. A true adventurer... Wow, this
        sure isn't like me, huh? Hey dad, I'm going to hang my picture right here so
        everyone can see it. I'll be back to tell everyone about my adventures. Goodbye,
        mom! (Nails picture). Well then, I'm off.

        *** Go near the museum and talk to the curator.

        Curator
        Morning, Justin! My, you're up early! Having another contest with Gantz?

        Justin
        There's something I need to apologize to you about, Mr. Curator... I broke that
        Koyokujin image... I'm very sorry!

        Curator
        So it was you, Justin? Well, since you were so honest about it, I forgive you!
        Now, why are up so early today?

        Justin
        He, he, well I'm boarding the early ship to New Parm today! I'm going alone...

        *** Talk to the curator again.

        Curator
        That's rather sudden... If I was the average person I'd probably try to stop you
        here, but, well, when I was young I disobeyed my parents a lot too. It was because
        of my burning desire to become a great scholar!

        Justin
        Wow! You really mean you made your parents angry too?

        Curator
        Ha, ha, ha! Doesn't everyone?

        *** Talk to the curator.

        Curator
        So it's New Parm you going to, eh? I'd like to give you 2 bits of advice... Do the
        things you enjoy doing, and write to your mom all the time.

        Justin
        The first one's easy. I'll be adventuring! But it might be difficult to send a
        letter from the places I'll be adventuring in...

        ***  Talk to the curator.

        Curator
        Take care, Justin! I believe in you!

        Justin
        Thank you, Mr. Curator!

        PARM HARBOR

        ***  Talk to the soldier outside the gate.

        Soldier
        You again?! How many times have I told you that only ship passengers and guests
        are allowed in here?

        Justin
        Hey, I have a ship pass right here, see? It's authentic too.

        Soldier
        Hmm... this one looks really old. It has a weird smell to it too. Well then, once
        you go through this gate, you can't go back out. Do you understand?

        ***  2 Choices
        1) W-wait just a second!
        2) Of course! Now open the gate.

        ***  Choose 2

        Soldier
        I see.... You take care now, okay kid? Remember kid, don't drink any unclean-looking
        water. It'll ruin your stomach.

        Justin
        He, he, he... thanks sir. Don't worry about me. I'm no ordinary kid, I'm an
        adventurer.

        *** After walking inside aways.

        Soldier
        Well, it looks like all the passengers for this voyage are already here. I guess
        I'll be going over to the Sea Gull Café to have breakfast.

        *** Try to go inside the ship.

        Sailor
        Hey there kid, hold on a second!

        Justin
        Oh great! It looks like Jin's pass is too old.

        Sailor
        What's that sticking out of your pocket? Leave your stuff sticking out like that
        and it's bound to get stolen!

        Justin
        Huh? Oh, thanks. I wonder if I should open it now. Eh? It's a letter.

        Sailor
        Hey, your slowing us down. Keep blocking the way like that and you're gonna be
        thrown overboard!

        Justin
        You've got to be kidding! Okay, okay, I'm moving out of the way! (Opens letter)
        It's a letter... from mom.

        To Adventurer's Guild President, Mr. Gauss.
        >From Skull Lily
        Do NOT read JUSTIN!!!

        There's this kid who has always been of no help to his parents whatsoever and does
        nothing else every single day but play around, pretending that he's an adventurer.
        He always comes home with cuts and bruises no matter how many times I hit him
        upside the head. This bad kid is my son.

        I still remember how much he cried, the day he realized that he'll never see his
        father again. Ever since that day, he's always wanted to be an adventurer. Anyway,
        this adventurer's name is Justin. He's a little bit too kind sometimes and is also
        very absent-minded. However, he has now finally started walking on his own two
        feet. He is really determined to work hard to follow his dream but he still can't
        do any manual labor. That's why I'm begging you to please take care of him. This
        kid is my son, Mr. Gauss. Please help him fulfill his dream.

        Justin
        Mom... she knew all along.

        Hey Justin! Knowing you, you're probably reading this letter without my
        permission! I've always expected you to eventually mature even just a little bit
        but it doesn't look like you've changed a bit. Make sure that you take care of
        your body. You're dad used to always say,"An adventurer's greatest asset is to
        have a healthy body." And one last thing... wherever you may go, always keep on
        thinking about your dream. Have a safe trip, Justin.

        Sailor
        Hey! What the heck are you doing?! You're the only one that we're waiting for! Get
        in! Get in!

        Justin
        Thank you, mother.... Well, I'll be on my way.

                             Towards Elencia...


      AFTER BOARDING

      Justin
      Now, let's have a look around this ship.

      *** Go inside room in center of nearby building, talk to the captain.

      Captain
      Ah, welcome aboard! Anything I can do for you?

      Justin
      He, he. No, I don't think so. Boy, this is a really cool ship!

      Captain
      Ha, ha, ha! Thanks.

      *** After exploring the ship for a while, attempt to return to the
      deck.

      Pooy
      Puu, puu...

      Justin
      W-what's Pooy doing here!? No, it can't be...

      ON DECK

      Sue
      Geez, guys! Just exactly how many times do you want me to keep
      repeating the same thing over and over!? I'm supposed to be here
      with Justin!

      Justin
      I knew it! It's Sue!

      *** Talk to Sue.

      Sue
      ...oh! There you are Justin!

      Justin
      Sue! What are you doing!?

      Sue
      With you gone, Parm's going to be so boring! That's why I decided
      to go with you on your journey. Besides, can you really do without
      me?

      *** Talk to the Captain.

      Captain
      You're Justin? You've perpetrated a truly heinous deed, and at such
      a young age no less... But since ancient times, we've dealt with
      stowaways by casting them overboard. Why, it's the Law of the
      Ocean!

      Justin
      Please forgive her! She's just a kid! I'll take care of her...

      Captain
      It's no good! If we don't abide by the Law of the Ocean, we'll all
      be cursed by the spirits! Okay men, up with this barrel! We're
      tossing it into the sea!

      Justin
      Aaah!!! Hey, wait a sec!!

      *** Talk to Sue.

      Sue
      They shouldn't be so stingy! I know they can afford to let one more
      person on board! Come on, tell them that Justin!

      Justin
      They just won't listen... Sue, you've really done it this time!

      *** Talk to the Captain.

      Justin
      Casting a little girl like her out to sea is just too much! You've
      gotta' figure out a way to save her from this fate!

      Captain
      Actually, there may be a way... I heard from the little one that
      you're going to become an adventurer. Is that right?

      Justin
      Ah yep, that's right! I'll be the greatest adventurer in the world!

      Sue
      Me too! Me too!

      Captain
      Hmm... Adventurers tend to be very similar to sailors, so the
      sprits might not curse us... Hmm... Oh, I've got it! You'll become
      part of the crew!

      Justin
      Huh?

      Captain
      Yes, if you're passengers, you're stowaways, but if you're
      shipmates, you certainly wouldn't be. Well then, how about it? Will
      you work for us until we reach the new world? That way, you can
      save this little girl

      *** 2 Choices
      1) Is that so? Well, I don't know if I can trust you.
      2) Ok. I guess we're shipmates then.

      *** Choose 2

      Captain
      That settles it then. From this point on, you're an apprentice
      sailor, alright?

      Justin
      Got it!

      Sue
      Well, as long as I'm with Justin, I don't mind being a crew member!

      Captain
      ... Alright then, you there! Take these fellows to the crewmen's
      quarters.

      Sailor
      Aye aye, Captain!

      Captain
      Get plenty of rest, you two. From tommorrow onward, you'll be
      working hard.

      2ND DAY

      Voice
      Justin, Justin!

      Sue
      Morning, Justin. Did you sleep well?

      Justin
      Yaaawn! No, I couldn't sleep at all. The snoring of the other
      sailors kept me awake...

      Sue
      Well, I'm also sleeeeepy... That bed was so hard and wet, and it
      felt simply horrible! And, what's more...

      Sailor
      Huh!? Attention, new recruits!! Quit sleeping the day away and get
      ready to work!!

      Justin
      Welp, shall we go?

      *** Talk to the sailor near your bed.

      Sailor
      Now listen up, new recruits! You used to be passengers, but now
      your apprentice sailors! And don't you forget it!

      Justin
      Got it!

      Sue
      Okayee!

      Sailor
      Alright, you two have been assigned to the deck. You'll get the
      details of your work up there. Oh yeah, and take this with you.

      *** You receive the key to the private cabins.

      Sailor
      Now then, if the passengers want anything you'd better serve them
      properly, got it? Alright, now get yourselves up to the deck!

      *** Talk to the man in the purple hat on the deck.

      Officer
      Ah, so you're the new apprentices, Justin and Sue. I see you came
      before I had to come get you. I like that. Ok, you may have already
      been told this, but all the newcomers on the ship are assigned to
      swabbing the deck. Now let's get right down to business, I want you
      to wax and polish this entire deck. Let me know when you're ready
      to begin.

      *** Talk to the officer again.

      Officer
      Ready? Before we begin, are sure you know how to do this type of
      work?

      *** 2 Choices
      1) No, tell me how it's done.
      2) Yeah, I know. I'm ready to start.

      *** Choose 1

      Officer
      Power and speed are important in swabbing the deck. To begin
      swabbing press the "c" button. While you're holding the "c" button,
      your power and speed will increase. But be careful not to hold down
      for too long, or your power meter will become too high, and you'll
      get exhausted. The trick to it is to properly pace yourself. Also
      remember that you might get award if you do well, so try not to do
      a shoddy job.

      *** Choose 2 and attempt the minigame, this is the officer's response
      if you take over 70 seconds.

      Man
      Hey, hey!! Just what do you think you're doing taking your time
      like that!? And to think, you're supposed to be some adventurer! If
      you do this poorly tomorrow, you're fired, and I'll personally toss
      both of you into the ocean! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?

      Justin
      Hey, it was our first try. We'll do much better from now on!

      *** Talk to the officer again.

      Officer
      Today's work is finished, you can go back to your rooms and get
      some sleep. Unless of course you want to get some more practice
      swabbing the deck?

      *** 2 Choices
      1) Uh, I think I'll have to take a rain check on that.
      2) I can take it!

      *** Choose 2

      Officer
      Ho ho! What dedication! Then have another go at it!

      *** Go back to your quarters and talk to the sailor again

      Sailor
      Looks like you're finished. Ha, ha! I can tell by the tired look on
      your face. Now you can relax and get some sleep.

      3RD DAY

      Sue
      ... Ow, ow, ow! Owww! I'm aching all over!

      Justin
      It's just some muscular pain, Sue! Don't worry, you'll get used to
      it! Since you're in pain, I'll try to handle most of the work
      today.

      Sue
      Thanks, Justin!

      *** Return to the deck and talk to the officer.

      Officer
      Ready? Let's get started. You do remember how to do this work, don'
      t you?

      *** 2 Choices
      1) Umm, I forgot.
      2) Let's go.

      *** Choose 2, this is his response if you finish the game around 55
      seconds.

      Man
      Alright, looks as though we're through for today. Try to do it a
      little faster tomorrow.

      Justin
      Ugh, we have to do this every single day until we reach New Parm?
      Erggh... and it's all your fault, Sue!

      Sue
      Hey! You know this never would have happened if you didn't try to
      leave me behind!

      *** Attempt to return to your quarters.

      Man
      Ok, let's see here... I polished the lens up, and the light has
      been delievered safely...

      Justin
      Hey, hey, what's that for!? What a huge light!

      Man
      You don't know? Well, it's used to signal adventurers on shore. We
      use something like this all the time! You know, another passenger
      will be boarding soon, and, well... We've got to let the fellow
      know we're coming.

      Sue
      ...Someone's boarding!? Out here in the middle of the ocean?!

      Man
      That's right! I bet you'll be surprised when you hear this. The
      passenger happens to be the greatest adventurer in New Parm.

      Justin
      Wow, an adventurer!?

      Man
      This fellow's boarding early tomorrow morning, so don't sleep in!

      Justin
      This is unbelievable! The greatest adventurer in New Parm...

      THAT NIGHT

      Justin
      Hey Sue! What do you think the greatest adventurer in New Parm will
      be like? Well he's a great adventurer, so I bet he's a huge man
      with a beard and rippling muscles!

      Sue
      Mmurmr, mmmum... Yes, yes, surely, and he'll have 5 armmms, mmurmr,
      murmm...

      Justin
      Hey! You're half asleep... Anyway, when I do meet this adventurer,
      I wonder what I'll ask him? Maybe I should find out how he gets by
      dangerous traps, or ask him what the weak points of ferocious
      monsters are... He, he, I don't think I'm gonna get any sleep
      tonight!

      THE 4TH DAY

      Voice
      ... Justin! Jusitn!! You'll be sorry if you don't get up soon! Hey,
      Justin, wake up!

      Justin
      Ooh, mmm, just... just 10 more seconds...

      Sue
      Whaaat are you talking about, Justin!? You're not supposed to sleep
      late because that adventurer is coming!

      Justin
      .......!

      *** Runs to the stairs.

      Justin
      Hey, what are you doing, Sue!? If you don't hurry up, I'll leave
      without you!

      Sue
      ... Huh? Well, at least he's awake now.

      *** Go upstairs.

      Sailor
      ... Ya, yaa! How's this? Oh yeah!

      Sue
      Hey, what do you think he's doing?

      Justin
      How weird! He looks like an idiot!

      Justin
      Hey you! What're you doing?

      Sailor
      Oh, this...? This a hip way for sailors and adventurers to greet
      each other. You'll do it when you're older.

      Justin
      Hey, is that so? Then I'd better master it now.

      *** They practice it.

      Sailor
      No, no, no! Like this!

      Justin
      L-like this? Yeah, this is cool!

      Sue
      Boy... They just look like idiots.

      Sailor
      Yeh! You've got good form, kid!

      *** Go to the very end of the deck. (note: speech segment translation
      pending)

      Feena
      Hey! Who are you two? I haven't seen you before.

      Justin
      Err, ahem, I, I'm Justi...

      Sue
      Wow! A girl!? The greatest adventurer in the new world is a girl!
      Coool! Hey, she's also beautiful. Don't you think so, Justin?!

      Feena
      He, he. Thank you. Captain, could you introduce these two to me?

      Captain
      Yes, yes, this is the first time you've met. These fellows are
      apprentice sailors. This one is Justin... and here's Sue.

      Feena
      Hmm... I'm Feena, pleased to meet you!

      Sue
      Hey, hey, Justin! Raise your hand and do that special greeting!

      Justin
      Ok! It's a good thing I was just practicting.

      *** Starts flailing his arm.

      Justin
      I'm... Justin!! Please to meet you!

      Feena
      ...!

      *** Shakes his hand.

      Feena
      Aha, ha, ha, don't you know? This real adventurers and sailors use
      to greet each other. Well, yes, for right now let's
      han-nnd-shay-kk! When you're promoted, we'll high five.

      Captain
      ...Well, shall we go, Feena? Justin, you know what they say about
      idle hands...

      Feena
      Good luck with your work, you two. Then... let's go, Captain.

      Justin
      Man! I wish people would treat me like I was just another person,
      instead of a little kid...

      Sue
      But wasn't that cool!? I want to be just like her.

      Justin
      The greatest adventurer in the new world, huh...? She certainly was
      cute...

      THE 5TH DAY

      Sue
      Ohhh, how boring! Yet another day of swabbing the deck!

      Justin
      Hey, what are you talking about, Sue!? It's better than being cast
      out into the ocean, isn't it!? That's all thanks to me, you know!?

      Sue
      ... Huh!? It's clean? Who did this for us?

      Voice
      Hey you! You're late! You're late!

      Feena
      You'll never be real sailors if you oversleep like that! Oh well,
      morning, Justin and Sue! Looks to be another hot day today.

      Justin
      Hey, you remember our names? I thought you weren't even paying
      attention to us...

      Feena
      Well, the memory of great adventurers is legendary! Anyway, I just
      thought we could talk and clean this deck together... but you never
      came. You know, you've got a long ways to go before you become a
      real sailor.

      Justin
      Hey, that's pretty harsh... Anyway, I'm an adventurer not a sailor!

      Feena
      Adventurer, huh? The captain said you were apprentice sailors.

      Justin
      Oh, well I'm hiding my identity right now! There is a very
      important reason behind it. You see, Sue...

      Sue
      What do you think you're doing!? Hey, you're gonna get me tossed
      overboard!

      Feena
      Tossed?

      Sue
      Yeah, yeah, listen, Feena! Justin was really mean to me and...

      *** Later

      Justin
      ... and that's what happened. See, wasn't that a spectacular
      adventure?

      Sue
      See!? Now do you understand why I said Justin was so mean?

      Feena
      Ah, ha, ha! Well, I can see that you're really good friends! Ha,
      ha, ha... that's funny! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time!

      Sue
      Ok, ok, Feena, tell us your story! I'm sure we're not the only ones
      with a clever story!

      Feena
      Hmm, right... So what should I talk about?

      *** 3 Choices
      1) What type of adventures do you go on?
      2) Boy, I'd like to have some adventures in the new world...
      3) Feena, do you live in New Parm?

      *** Choose 1

      Feena
      Hmm, I guess I can't tell you all about that in one sitting. Since,
      it's still several days before we reach New Parm, I'll tell you a
      little about my adventures everyday!

      Justin
      Ugh, that means we're going to be swabbing the decks for a long
      time... Shoot! Being an apprentice is such a pain!

      Feena
      Aha, ha, ha! Oh, it won't be so bad! I'll help you! It'll be fun!

      Sue
      Wow! Thanks, Feena!

      *** Choose 2

      Feena
      So, you want to be the greatest adventurer in the world, huh?

      Sue
      We're going to the adventurers' society in New Parm. Have you
      joined it, Feena?

      Feena
      Ye... yes... Of course I've joined.

      Feena
      .... That's right... We'll should go adventuring together, it would
      be lots of fun!

      *** Choose 3

      Feena
      Where I live? Yeah, it's right near New Parm. It's a nice place,
      and I live there by myself.

      Sue
      By yourself? That's great! Isn't that wonderful, Justin?

      Feena
      My parents died a long time ago. I used to live with my older
      sister, but... now we live seperately.

      *** After choosing all 3 choices...

      Feena
      .... The wind... all of the seagulls suddenly... I... I'm going to
      talk to the captain right now. You should go back to your sleeping
      quarters. Bye!

      Justin
      Hmm, she was laughing just a second ago, and then she suddenly
      became so grave and serious... I wonder what happened?

      Sue
      Hey, look! There's not a single seagull in the sky anymore!

      Justin
      That's right... Somehow I have a feeling that something exciting is
      about to happen! Let's go check it out!

      *** Go inside the captain's room...

      Feena
      ... Captain! The winds have changed, the ocean has become
      turbulent, and strange clouds are beginning to form.....

      Captain
      This is terrible. We must act quickly. We should begin gathering
      the crew together right away...

      Feena
      Somehow... I have a terrible feeling about all this.

      Justin
      Feena, what's going on!?

      Feena
      Nothing. Now don't worry about a thing, you two. Please, just go
      back to the crew quarters and relax, ok?

      Sue
      Justin, let's go back to our room. It looks like they're doing
      something important.

      Feena
      Captain, we must do all we can to change directions. Quickly,
      summon the crew together!

      Captain
      ... But, Feena... you don't suppose it's that ghost ship that's
      rumored to exist? Perhaps that's what your terrible feeling is
      about.

      Feena
      Now bring that up again! The ghost ship is nothing but a ridiculous
      superstition!

      Justin
      Hey, a ghost ship!? Tell me more!

      Feena
      Justin, did you hear me? I thought I told you to go to your
      quarters and rest.

      Justin
      Hey, do you think you can boss me around?

      Feena
      Justin, this isn't some childish game. Be a good boy and do as I
      say.

      Sailor
      Ms. Feena... It's... it's horrible! Come to the deck right away!!

      Justin and Feena
      !

      Feena
      Captain, I'm going to try to calmly inform the crew of this, and
      order them to mobilize. The passengers are probably getting
      nervous....

      Captain
      Nooo, this can't be happening!! If this is the real ghost ship,
      we're doomed, doomed I tell you!!

      Sue
      Justin, come on, let's go back to our room...

      Justin
      We can't go back! Seems like a great adventure is brewing. Let's
      head to the deck!

      *** Head to the deck.

      Sue
      Justin, wait up!!

      Justin
      Unbelievable! It is the real ghost ship! Simply unbelievable!

      Sue
      Wow...... Uh, I have a feeling we should leave now..

      Justin
      Yeah, we're heading in! My true adventures shall begin with the
      total extermination of the ghost ship!

      Voice
      How pitiful! Are there any real sailors on this ship?!

      Sue
      Oh, that's Feena's voice!

      Sue
      Over here, Justin!

      *** Go over there.

      Feena
      Now one thing is clear... If we don't do anything about this
      mysterious vessel, we'll never arrive in Elencia alive! Why, the
      lives of the passengers are at stake! Men, show me your true
      sailing spirit! Captain, their orders please?

      Captain
      ... It's no good, no good! We're already doomed! The ghost ship has
      appeared, and now we're all gonna die!!

      Feena
      It's nothing but a ruined ship! The ghost ship is merely a
      superstition. Now, rally your crew!

      Captain
      But, but... when that ship appeared... the engine stopped...

      Feena
      Snap out of it!! If you can't control yourself, you're nothing but
      a bushel of spineless seaweed!

      Crew
      Bu-but Feeenaaa.... what can we do? I mean, we're facing the ghost
      ship here.. and aren't we just sailors? And if our ship can't move,
      what can we really do...?

      Feena
      Don't say such pathetic things!! Are you not men of the sea....!?

      *** No response

      Feena
      Well, looks like I'll have to solve the riddle of this ship myself.
      Now then! Who will accompany me in the task of exploring this
      ship:? Are there no valorous men among you?

      *** Talk to Feena

      Justin
      Don't worry, Feena! We'll go with you!

      Feena
      Justin...

      *** Resumes speaking to the crew.

      Feena
      So everyone, these children are the only displaying any valor! Are
      there any heroes among you that will come with me?!

      Justin
      Hey! I said I'd go with you! I'm going to exterminate that ghost
      ship!

      Feena
      Exteriminate a ghost ship!? What a ridiculous idea! A real
      adventurer wouldn't believe in ghosts, and you certainly aren't a
      real adventurer.

      *** To the crew.

      Feena
      Justin is going to calmly and obediently wait aboard this ship.

      *** 3 Choices
      1) Well, if I don't go, who's going with you!?
      2) I'm worried about you, Feena.
      3. Rather clever of you to obtain such a monopoly on all the
      adventures on this ship.

      *** Choose 1

      Justin
      If I don't go, who's going with you!? Besides this an adventure,
      and I'm an adventurer!

      Feena
      But do you really understand this situation? I don't even if know
      if you'll be of any use to me! You'll proably just slow me down...
      I'm sure of it!

      *** Choose 2

      Justin
      I'm worried about you, Feena. I can't just let a little girl go off
      into that frightening ship...

      Feena
      .... A little girl!? How rude! Why, I'm a professional adventurer,
      and an amateur adventurer like yourself need not worry about me! I
      can take care of myself!

      *** Choose 3

      Justin
      So, we finally get the chance to do something exciting on this
      ship, and you try to keep the fun all to yourself!

      Feena
      Justin, stop thinking like such a simpleton! Adventuring is not a
      game. You could be killed. And furthermore, thinking of it in that
      way reveals your total lack of experience!

      Justin
      That's it! I'll just take care of this myself!

      Sue
      Huh!? B-but...

      Feena
      Well... this is troubling...

      Sailor
      Feena, as per your orders, I've prepared a way for you to cross
      over into the ghost ship.

      Feena
      In that case, there's no time to lose... Oh alright, Justin, you
      can come with me! But promise me you'll return to the ship if you
      find you can't handle this, alright?

      Justin
      Alright! I promise!

      Feena
      Then let's get going !

              The Investigation



     AFTER BOARDING THE GHOST SHIP

     Justin
     This is cool! I can't believe we're on a real ghost ship.

     Feena
     How many times do I have to say it!? Ghost ships aren't real!

     Justin
     Oh, come on! I know you've never seen anything like this!

     Sue
     Uh, Justin, how are we going to get down from here?

     Justin
     How? Why, like this!

     Justin leaps down.

     Feena
     Errg, that boy...

     Sue
     Justin, wait for us!

     *** Sue and Feena jump down.

     Justin
     Ooh... Heh, heh! Boy, I'm excited!

     Feena
     Calm down! You're not concentrating!

     Justin
     Sorry, sorry. But my adventuring blood stirs, and I can't help it.
     Heh, heh.

     *** Go near the circular hole in the ship.

     Feena
     Looks like we can jump down to the lower part of the ship from here...
     I'll go first, then you follow.

     *** They all jump down.

     Sue
     Hey, it's pitch black in here. I can't see a thing.

     Feena
     Ok, you both made it.. Stay alert, and watch your step.

     Justin
     No need to tell me. I'm a world-class adventurer, I'm always prepared!
     What's this...? Feels strange...

     Feena
     Ahh! Justin, you pervert! (slap!)

     Justin
     Ahhhhhhowwwww!!!

     Feena
     Ugh! Justin, stop goofing around!

     Justin
     Hey! So, I'm just following behind, minding my own business... and you
     then suddenly stop moving! How am I at fault!? Where was I goofing
     around!?

     Feena
     Justin, you weirdo, don't you know?! Oh, forget it. Let's move on

     Sue
     Justin, you naughty boy!

     *** Walk around the corner into a room, walk through that room until you
     reach a hole in the floor.

     Feena
     We can jump down to a lower area of the ship from here too.

     *** Jump down, walk to a rope, and climb up. Then, walk up steps to some
     meat.

     Feena
     Justin, look out!

     Feena
     Justin, are you alright? Were you injured?

     Sue
     Wow, Feena! That was cool! Boy, Justin seems so incompetent compared
     to you.

     Justin
     Hey! So I was a little unprepared for that, no big deal!

     *** Solve the lever puzzle, go through the next room, go upstairs, and,
     finally, go near the shut door closest to the stairs.

     Justin
     This door is locked... Hmm... I can't open it.

     Feena
     Hey, let me try... There! It's open.

     Sue
     Wow, Feena can do anything!

     *** Go to other shut door.

     Feena
     Stay alert! I've got another bad feeling... A feeling like an animal
     is stalking us.

     Justin
     But, Feena, this is a ghost ship! Why would animals be here?

     Feena
     Justin... I know there's one near here.

     Justin
     Huh? Right near here...? You're not talking about me are you!?

     Feena
     Justin... unless you start paying closer attention to what's going on,
     you're life will be in perpetual danger.

     *** Go inside and look at the book on the desk.

     Justin
     Uh, what's this?

     Feena
     .... it looks like the ship's log. Perhaps this could help understand
     what happened to this ship. I think I'll read through some of it. "Our
     ship was suddenly snatched by a giant tenticle, and then, before we
     knew it, we were drawn into a battle to the death. Unless we defeat
     this accursed monster, we will never see the sight of land again." ...
     Then it ends.

     Sue
     A "monster"? I wonder what it's like...

     Feena
     Shh! Quiet... I sense something! Get ready!

     *** A monster appears.

     Feena
     Watch out!! It's the monster!

     *** After killing the octopus beast...

     Justin
     So this ship was attacked by that monster...?

     Feena
     Yes, that must be it... That beast probably devoured all the people
     aboard this ship...

     Justin
     Woah, woah, woah! What's happening?!

     Feena
     Oh no! The ship is sinking! Justin, we've got to get out of here! If
     the ship capsizes, we're done for!

     *** Go to the upper deck.

     Sue
     Wha-what should we do!? The water is already up here..

     Feena
     We're alright! Just leave everything to me. World-class adventurers
     are always prepared with an escape plan.

     *** Feena brings down a rope.

     Feena
     Now hurry! Climb up this rope!

     BACK ON BOARD THE FERRY BOAT.

     Sailors
     ... Hurrah, hurrah! You're back! We were so worried about you!

     Justin
     No need to worry. Why, that ship was a lot easier than swabbing the
     deck!

     Sailor
     Wow, really!? Oh yeah, the ship should start moving again soon.
     Engineers are working to repair the engine as we speak.

     Justin
     Really? That's great! So I guess that squid stopped the ship, huh?
     What an awful beast.

     Feena
     Well, didn't I tell you? It wasn't ghosts at all, right, Captain?

     Captain
     Right again, Feena! Now we're back on course to Elencia, safe and
     sound. I'm greatly indebted to you...

     Feena
     Captain! I had help you know! You must thank Justin and Sue too! Only
     our combined strength could destroy that horrible ship.

     Captain
     Is that so? Well... I guess I didn't really think you two fellows had
     what it takes...

     Feena
     Well, to be honest with you... I didn't think so either... but you did
     great! For your first adventure, I give you a 100 out of 100, perfect
     score!

     Feena
     You're pretty cool, Justin.

     Justin
     Eh, hehe... well it wasn't... somehow, I feel so awkward...

     Sue
     Hey, Justin! Why's your face all red?

     Pooy
     Puu, puu!

     Justin
     Huh, what're you talking about, Sue!?

     Sue
     Aha, ha, ha!

     *** Back to the crew quarters. Talk to the sailor near your bed.

     Sailor
     You two did a great deed today! I have a totally different opinion of
     you guys now! Why, you weren't just boasting when you said you were an
     adventurer, were you? Anyway, you probably want to just get to bed
     now. The ship is safe now, thanks to you, so you can sleep without
     worry.

     *** 3 Choices
     1) I want to stay up and talk with the passengers a little more.
     2) I'm going to bed now.
     3) %%%Data Save%%%%

     *** Choose 1

     Sailor
     Really? Well don't overexert yourselves. Sleeping is one of the most
     enjoyable parts of this job, you know?

     *** Choose 2

     Sailor
     Well, have a nice night. You'll resume swabbing the deck tomorrow.

     Sue
     Whaaat? Back to swabbing the deck? I thought we were the saviors of
     this ship!

     Sailor
     Well, you are, but you're apprentice sailors too, and apprentice
     sailors have to swab the deck. Alright, now to bed with you!

     THE NEXT DAY

     Sue
     Justiiiin, good morning... *sigh* Let's goooo swab the deck...

     *** Head toward the deck.

     Officer
     ... Hmm? Justin, Sue, did you come to swab the deck? I'm very sorry
     about this, but... you've been fired! No more swabbing the deck for
     you two...

     Justin
     F-fired? Why?

     Sue
     No! How could you?! We've been so dilligent in doing our work!

     Officer
     Aha, ha, ha, ha! Don't be so upset! Now listen to me. We've arrived in
     the new world, Elencia! This voyage is finally over!

     Justin
     Really!?

     Officer
     Aha, ha, ha! Well go up and see for yourself!

     Don't just stand there! Go up!

     Sue
     Justin, what is it?

     Justin
     I can see it! Over there!!

     Sue
     Oh!? Wait up, Justin!

     *** They run to the end of the ship.

     Sue
     Wow! It's huge, just think of all the adventures we could have in a
     place that big!

     Pooy
     Puu, puuu!

     Sue
     Don't worry, Pooy, I'm sure this continent has food on it! Uh, Justin,
     are you awake?

     Justin
     The new world... We finally made it..

     Feena
     Morning, Justin, Sue!

     Sue
     Oh, hi Feena!

     Feena
     Hm... it's been a long time..

     *** Looks at Justin and Sue.

     Feena
     ... I see, this must be the first time you've seen the new world...
     Well, a big welcome to the both of you! Welcome to New Parm! Welcome
     to the land of your hopes and dreams, Elencia!

     Justin
     Land of... hopes and dreams...

     Feena
     ... That's right, your dreams will surely come true here, Justin..!

     Sue
     Hey, Justin! We've gotta get ready to get off the ship!

     Feena
     Tell me when you're ready to disembark! We'll go together!

     *** Talk to the captain.

     Captain
     Justin, Sue... you two gave it your best on this ship. You were hard
     working sailors, and were great adventurers as well. Now try to keep
     this up in the new world!

     Justin
     Aye, Captain! I'll try my best!

     Sue
     As long as we don't get cast into the sea, I think we're okay.

     *** Talk to the captain again.

     Captain
     And Sue, you do know that if you hadn't stowed away, Justin could have
     stayed a passenger for the entire voyage, don't you?

     Sue
     Yes, I understand!

     Justin
     Yeah, but it all turned out ok. I had a good experience.

     Sue
     I guess it was a good idea to sneak on board after all!

     *** Talk to Feena again.

     Feena
     So, are you two ready?

     *** 2 Choices
     1) Sorry! There are still people left I have to say goodbye to.
     2) Oh, of course!

     *** Choose 1

     Feena
     He, he... That's just like you to make so many friends in such a short
     span of time!

     *** Choose 2

     Feena
     Alright! We're finally going to set foot on New Parm!

       The Adventurers' Society



      NEW PARM HARBOR

      Justin
      Yeah! Yahoo!

      Sue
      Yay! We're the first ones off! Wow! So we really made it all the
      way to the new world by ourselves! 
      Justin
      Yeah! And now I can finally begin my great adventure!

      Pooy
      Pupuu! Puupuu!

      Feena
      Aha, ha, ha. You two certainly are excited about all this... So,
      Justin, what do you plan to do now that you're here?

      Justin
      Well, first of all, I'm going to the adventurers' society here. My
      mom gave me a letter so that I can get in.

      Feena
      Really? The adventurers' society, huh? Now how can I put this... I
      guess this where we part ways.

      Sue
      Huh!? Feena, you're not coming with us?

      Feena
      I'm sorry. I can't. I'm leaving New Parm for my house at the end of
      the Meril mountain trail. If you'd like, you could come visit me
      there!

      Justin
      Oh! We'll go as soon we check out New Parm!

      Sue
      Bye, Feena!

      Feena
      Ah, wait!!

      Justin
      W-what's wrong, Feena?

      Feena
      Eheh, heh, heh. I almost forgot something important. Now Justin,
      raise your hand.

      Justin
      Wha!? Why...?

      Feena
      Don't worry! Just raise it! Come on, hurry up!!

      *** Justin raises his hand.

      Feena
      Hmm... let's see here... Like this...? Yes, that's it!

      *** They do a high-five.

      Justin
      Feena...!

      Sue
      Hey, it's that special adventurer greeting! Great work, Justin!

      Feena
      He, he... I think you have what it takes to be an adventurer,
      Justin. I'd like to adventure with you again sometime! Then,
      farewell for now! May the spirits protect you during your great
      adventures!

      *** Go inside the building (adventurers' society information desk) in
      the harbor area. Talk to the man behind the desk.

      Clerk
      Yawn... mmm, I'm so sleepy today... I wonder if I'd get paid if I
      slept all day..? Huh? What's your business here?

      Justin
      What's my business? I just came here to become an adventurer.

      Clerk
      Oh boy... Well you have to follow the standard procedure. Go to the
      plaza in the center of town, our main office is there.. Yawn.

      CENTRAL NEW PARM

      *** Go to the adventurers' society in the center of town (it's heavily
      decorated) Talk to woman at desk.

      Receptionist
      Welcome, come on in! What kind of adventure do you wish to go on?
      We here at the adventurers' society are prepared to send you on an
      adventure that will satisfy your demanding standards!

      Justin
      Prepared an adventure? I don't quite understand what you mean...
      Oh, I see! We want to go to Alent! The center of the Enjule
      civilization!

      Receptionist
      Alent of the Enjule civilization? I'm afraid we don't have a tour
      to Alent prepared. There is a ruin of Enjule to the far south of
      here...

      Justin
      Really!? Well, maybe I'll find a way to Alent if I go there! So how
      do I get there?

      Receptionist
      I'm very sorry but, a tour to Domu would be dangerous, and we don't
      handle dangerous tours for our customer's sake.

      Justin
      You won't go if it's dangerous... An adventure isn't an adventure
      unless it's dangerous!

      *** Talk to her again.

      Receptionist
      Perhaps you'd like to become an adventurer...? Well, why didn't you
      say so? To become a member of the adventurers' society you have to
      get the chairman's permission. He's in the room behind me.

      Justin
      If I become a member, will someone help me get to Domu?

      Receptionist
      Why, nobody travels to Domu, but we will give you a map of the new
      world if you become an adventurer, so you can get there yourself.

      *** Try to go in the room behind her.

      Voice
      If you want to enter the chairman's room, tell me the password! You
      can't enter unless you get it righty-o, oh, oh!

      Justin
      The password!?

      *** Talk to the receptionist again.

      Receptionist
      Oh yes, oh yes... If someone asks you the password say, "I'm the
      servant of the great Pakon, oh!" Got it?

      Justin
      The great Pakon...? My mom's letter was addressed to someone named
      Gaus...

      Receptionist
      The chairman's room is over there, ok? The meaning of that password
      is a private matter.

      *** Try to go in the room again.

      Voice
      If you want to enter the chairman's room, tell me the password! You
      can't enter unless you get it righty-o, oh, oh!

      *** 3 Choices
      1) The great Pakon is the most handsome guy in town, oh!
      2) I'm the servant of the great Pakon, oh!
      3) We all yearn for the great Pakon, oh!

      *** Choose 1 or 3

      Voice
      Hoo, hoooo! That's true, that's true! But I'm afraid it's not the
      password, so you can't enter-o, oh, oh!

      *** Choose 2

      Voice
      Bingo! Feel free to enter-o, oh, ohhhhh!

      *** Talk to man behind desk.

      Pakon
      I'm the Pakon, the chairman of the adventurers' society-o, oh, oh!
      What's your business here?

      Justin
      Ehh!! You're the chairman!? Now way! I was certain the chairman was
      named Gaus!

      Pakon
      My father, Gaus, died a long, long time ago. I'm the chairman
      now-o, oh, oh, oh!

      Justin
      Hmm... So that explains it...

      Sue
      Justin, just tell him you want to join the society!

      Justin
      Hmm... Well, if Gaus is dead, I guess I have no choice. I have to
      ask this dweeb... Alright, we want to join the society. What do we
      have to do?

      Pakon
      We have the adventurers we can handle right now-o, oh, oh. You're
      out of luck unless you can convince one of the other adventurer's
      to hand over his adventuring pass-o, oh, oh.

      Justin
      Now wait just a second! Look at this, you! This is letter from my
      mom introducing me to Gaus! My father was an adventurer too. He
      knew your father...

      Pakon
      Hehh, hehh... So that's it... heh? You think you can get an
      adventuring pass that easily, heh? Well I'm the one who decides
      whether you get a pass or not-o, oh, oh! How 'bout if I just toss
      this little scrap of paper away...? What do ya think of that?

      *** Talk to him again.

      Pakon
      This little scrap of paper is a new pass I made after becoming
      chairman-o, oh, oh! Nice
