Elder

Oh, Yio, long time no see!

Yio

Yeah, I've just come back from my training.

Elder

Oho! You look like you've done a bit of growing while you've been gone. You came at a good time. There's this monster that's shown up lately. They've been eating all the dried meat, causing all sorts of trouble. I know you've only just arrived, but could you help us get rid of 'em?

Yio

A monster, huh?

No problem! I'll take care of it for you in no time.

Elder

You will?! That dinosaur's real quick though. We've been at a complete loss.

Yio

What?! D-Dinosaur?!

Aldo

Yio, is everything okay?

Yio

Well, uh...

Aldo

Hmm? Surely this is right up your alley. I thought you were known as the "Dinosaur Slayer."

Elder

Oho, your friend will be joining you? In that case, a kid in the village said they saw the dinosaur, you should go talk to them to find out more.

Determined Child

What do you want?

Aldo

I heard someone had seen the dinosaur. Is that you?

Determined Child

Maybe, who wants to know? You look pretty weak, what are you going to do about them?

Aldo

Is the dinosaur really that dangerous?

Determined Child

It's really quick, and super smart. It's not gonna go down easy. Wait. Aren't you Miss Yio?!

You came back! Hey, if you're free, could you teach me some more?

Yio

Just hold your horses. I never wanted any students.

Determined Child

Heheh! Well it doesn't matter what you say, I'm your student whether you like it or not. Oh, right! Actually that dinosaur should be no problem for you, teacher! After all, you're "Yio the Dinosaur Slayer"!

Yio

O-Oh, right...the Dinosaur Slayer...that's me...

Determined Child

I knew you'd come help us! I saw it on Vasu Mountain. Its nest should be somewhere up there!

Yio

Oh...well...erm... O-Okay! I will... I'll take care of evewything.

Aldo

Evewything?

Yio

Just leave it with me!

It's okay...everything'll be okay... I'll do my best!

Aldo

What now?

Aldo

It should be around here.

Oh, right, Yio!

Yio

Aaargh!

Aldo

Aaargh?

Yio

I...I was just clearing my throat. Is everything okay?

Aldo

That kid called you "Yio the Dinosaur Slayer." You must be pretty famous.

Yio

I guess. Everyone in Ratle knows me. There was a giant dinosaur that attacked the village a long time ago.

Aldo

And you took it down?

Yio

Well, to tell the truth... I twied my bwest to face off against it...

Aldo

Urr... "Twied my bwest"?

Yio

I tried to face off against it!

Aldo

I see, so that's why you're called the "Dinosaur Slayer." You must be pretty tough then!

Yio

No, that's not true. All I have is fighting spirit. I can't just sit by and watch when something like this happens! Anyway, we should start looking for the monster that the elder asked us to hunt. Aldo!

Aldo

Over there! It was fast, maybe it's the one we're looking for? Okay!

Yio

Wait!

Please, wait! I-I-I'm not ready yet!

Aldo

What do you mean, you're not ready?

Yio

No, I mean... It's not like I...

Okay! I have a strategy. Instead of attacking head-on, we should use a decoy.

Aldo

I see. You want to attack them while they're distracted with the bait? This dinosaur must be trouble, if you're putting this much thought into it.

Yio

It's really dangewous!

Aldo

In that case, are you suggesting that you'll use yourself as bait, since the dinosaurs know your scent?

Yio

What?!

Ugh...I should have just kept quiet. I wasn't thinking of bait like that...

Dinosaur

Graaargh!

Yio

Agh?! Erm... Erm! What do I do?! I'm not weady for the fight yet! Oh, yeah, a distraction!

O-Oh, you're cute. Come here! You wanna play? I can teach you all sorts of twicks♪

Dinosaur

Grrrargh!

Yio

Aghhh! No! I can't! Stay away! I hate dinosaurs!

Aldo

Well done! Yio! We have it cornered. Now's the time to attack!

Yio

Ah... Right, I know that!

Yio

Phew, we did it. I never thought we'd be able to...

Aldo

What happened?

Yio

Oh...well... I-It wasn't such a hard foe. I took care of it easily enough.

Aldo

Just what I'd expect from the Dinosaur Slayer. That was a convincing act you put on. I really thought you were scared back there.

Yio

M-Maybe I should think about becoming an actor!

Aldo

All right, let's report back to the elder.

Yio

R-Right, let's go back to Ratle. Phew...

Elder

So, you took care of our problem? I knew you could do it. Ratle's very own hero!

Yio

Y-Yes. B-But I'm still unskilled, so I still need to travel more, learn more.

Elder

Oh? Really? Well if that's how you feel. I'll let you know if anything else comes up. After all, you're our protector.

Yio

Sure.
