Lucky Teeth

Giant fish teeth seem to be popular happiness charms around here...

We could talk to a fisherman to find out more about these giant fish?

Good idea.

Right, let's go talk to him!

Do you have a minute? We're looking for the Lucky Teeth. Have you heard of it?

Happiness? Oh, you mean the coelus tooth?

Huh?! The giant fish is a coelus?! I mean, they are enormous, but...

It's only the tooth of the extra large coelus that's said to bring happiness. I hear they sometimes fall out, but I've never found one myself.

So they must normally be pretty hard to find...

Though, I saw someone in town with one, just the other day.

Really?! Who was it?!

Hmm... Well I was a bit jolly at the time... But I think... It was an old man... With a loud, incredibly boisterous voice...

Hmm... Well I was a bit jolly at the time... But I think... It was a quiet old man... So quiet it was like his lips were sealed shut...

Hmm... Well I was a bit jolly at the time... But I think... It was a shy old man... He mumbles and he'll run away if you approach too suddenly...

Well, he's gotta be somewhere in town. Why don't you ask around?

Thanks! I'll head off right now and try to talk to him!

We came back to look for the Lucky Teeth... Could you tell us again where we can find it?

Ah, you're back, are you? I'm sure someone in town has it. Why don't you ask around again?

I think it's an old man who has it... He has a loud, incredibly boisterous voice.

I think it's a quiet old man who has it... He's so quiet it's like his lips are sealed shut.

I think it's a shy old man who has it... He mumbles and he'll run away if you approach too suddenly.

Understood! Thanks! We'll try and talk to someone who fits that description!

Hey, mister. Can I ask you something?

What is it?! What do you want to ask me?!!

Whoa, his voice is so loud! This has got to be the right man.

Truth is, I heard you had Lucky Teeth...

Ah, that's right! I certainly did have one!

Did... You mean, you don't have it now?

I had it until recently! I was walking around Lake Tiilen when it was stolen by a dark red monster!!!

What?!

There's nothing in the world more vexing than this! So if you can get it back, I'll let you keep it!

Really?!

Of course! I'd rather you had it than some monster!

Okay then! I'll go get it back right away!

Hey, mister. Can I ask you about the Lucky Teeth?

What?! Shabbiness? What are you on about?!

No, not shabbiness. What I said was "happiness"...

The epitome of shabbiness? How could you say such a thing?!

It's no use. I can't get through at all...

Don't you get it, I'm busy! Off with you.

I think we got the wrong person. Let's try someone else.

Could that be the man the fisherman was talking about?

Let's go talk to him.

Hey, mister. Can I ask you something?

......

Um... hello?

......

That's strange. Didn't he hear me?

Maybe you should speak a little louder...

I can hear you.

Ah?!

Whoa! You startled me! So you could hear me...

I see. He really is quiet, just like the fisherman said.

We came here because we heard you have the Lucky Teeth.

Not anymore...

Huh?

It was taken...

Huh?! It was taken?! Who took it?!

At Lake Tiilen... By a fruit-like monster...

Oh no! I can get it back for you!

If you get it back... You can keep it...

Really?!

It's better than with the monster...

Okay then! I'll go get it back right away!

Hey, mister. Can I ask you about the Lucky Teeth?

......

Erm... We'd love to know about the Lucky Teeth, if you know anything...

Can't you see I'm busy...

I-I see...

Well then...

He sure was blunt...

I think we got the wrong person. Let's try someone else.

Could that be the man the fisherman was talking about?

Let's go talk to him.

Hey, mister. Can I ask you about the Lucky Teeth?

Eep?!

Did he just run off?

He really is shy, just like the fisherman said...

Wh-What do you want...?

Oh, right. The truth is...

Ulp! D-Don't! Don't come any closer... I-I'm shy...

O-Okay... Then I'll speak from here.

Truth is, I wanted to ask about the Lucky Teeth you have.

Th-That... I had it... B-But I don't have it anymore.

You don't? What do you mean?

Ah, about that... I-It's a little embarrassing...

I-I was walking around Lake Tiilen and it was t-taken by a monster that looked like it had tree roots growing over it...

Really? That's awful. I could get it back for you if you'd like?

W-W-Would you?!

Yeah, sure....

Y-You will? Really?! If you get the Lucky Teeth back, you can keep it!

Oh, thank you! More importantly, are you okay with me this close to you, mister?

D-Darn!

I got over excited... Well I'll leave you to it.

Got it! Then I'll go get it back right away!

Hey, mister. Can I ask you about the Lucky Teeth?

Aaack?!

Wh-What's wrong?

I-If you speak too suddenly... I get shy...!

S-Sorry. So if you know anything about the Lucky Teeth...

I... I don't know anything. Don't stare at me!

Whaat?! He ran away...?

I think we got the wrong person. Let's try someone else.

Could that be the man the fisherman was talking about?

Let's go talk to him.

This monster who stole the Lucky Teeth... Where could it be?

Aldo! Over there!

That monster! It's exactly as he described!

Return the tooth you stole!

Great! We got the tooth back! Let's have a look at it...

It's so cool, look how big it is! It really is an amazing tooth!

But it looks a little bit dirty...

Great! We got the tooth back! Let's have a look at it...

Huh? It's a bit dirty...

Phew... That wasn't easy. But we got it back... It's a bit dirty though...

Let's go back to report to the man for now.

Oh, I was waiting for you! So you got it back! As promised, I'll let you keep it!

Is this really okay? Surely this good luck charm must be valuable?

It's fine, it's fine! It's better that other people get to experience its good fortune! Huh? It's a bit dirty... Here, give it to me.

Oh, of course.

There we go! You want to rub it like this to get it nice and shiny!

Are you sure it's okay to do that?!

Here, take a look! All the dirt's come off and now it's sparkling clean!

It is...! That's amazing! Thank you!

It's no big deal! Make sure you come visit me if you want more Lucky Teeth! I'm so lucky, I keep finding them! I'm always glad to share!

Of course, I will!

Hey mister! We got it back, as promised!

But is it really okay for us to keep it? It must be a valuable good luck charm.

Fortune is fate... Handing it over to you... Is also fate...

Oh... I see. Thanks. It looks a bit dirty, but...

Give it here.

Huh? Oh...

Rub-a-dub-dub... Rub-a-dub-dub... Rub-a-dub-dub...

Y-You're polishing it?!

Restored...

Whoa! It's so clean now! Thanks, mister!

Mmm... I find a lot round here. Come back if you want another.

Of course, I will!

Oh! You really did get it back! As promised, I'll let you keep it.

Is this really okay? Surely this good luck charm must be valuable?

Good luck should be spread around! Even me handing it to you is fate.

I appreciate that. But it looks a bit dirty...

Oh, it's only a little bit of dirt. I can clean that up nicely.

Really?!

D-Don't approach me so suddenly...!

And don't stare. It's making me uncomfortable!

S-Sorry. But it would be great if you could clean it. Would you?

Mmm. Give it here.

Okay okay okay... I'll give this a good wipe. Let's see your beautiful skin...!

It's like he's looking after his grandchild...

H-How's this?

It's as clean as a mirror. Thank you.

No, no, it's nothing... You're embarrassing me, saying that. For some reason, I often find these teeth. Come and see me anytime if you want another.

Of course, I will!
