1. Prelude

Ki Ruburan, Mercenary District

Kluri

Urgh, fighting monsters is tough... As if the danger wasn't bad enough, sometimes it's hard just to eat and sleep.

I work this hard, but barely have any money saved up, and I even have to worry about the financial status of my group because I might not get paid my salary...

This isn't like me, I never used to be so complacent.

I'm so busy with all these requests, and it's not like most of them pay particularly well, either.

Isn't there an easier way to live? Some way for me to be more relaxed, both heart and mind.

Serila

What are you mumbling about?

Kluri

Ah, Serila.

Serila

Have you seen Armin around here? I need to talk to her about something, but I can't find her.

Kluri

I don't know... Probably just looking for more stupid difficult jobs that hardly pay anything.

Serila

Oh my, someone's a little cranky today. What's up? Is everything all right?

Chatty

You've been a little cranky these last few days too, master. Stop playing dumb.

Serila

Quiet, Chatty! If you had just tried a little harder, we could've caught all the bandits and completed the request!

Chatty

I was doing my best... Maybe Master is the one that needs to try a little hard...

Serila

Oh, so it's my fault now? If I tell you to do something, then just do it!

Kluri

You two never change.

Serila

I'll be leaving, then. If you find Armin, tell her that I'm looking for her.

Kluri

Okay. I'll see you later, Serila.

...Huh? Wait.

Why didn't I think of that?

Serila

Oh, so it's my fault now? If I tell you to do something, then just do it!

Kluri

I should get an assistant to fight for me, just like Serila! Then I can just comfortably watch from the side while I make money!

But how... I can't use magic, so I can't make a weapon like Chatty...

Oh! What about that weird bird always flying around the headquarters?

It had a weird cry, but with enough training, it'll be a perfect assistant.

Fluri

Flululululu

Kluri

We're a team now! I even gave you a name!

Fluri! Do you like it? It's just like your cry.

Fluri

Flululululu

Kluri

Fluri! We'll start your special training today!

If you follow my orders well, I'll give you lots of treats.

You won't talk back to me like Chatty always does to Serila, and follow all my orders perfectly, okay?

Fluri

Flulululu!

2. Trial Battle

46 lines

Wetheric Moor, Black Duck Forest

Kluri

Is it okay to come all the way out here? I thought the Wild Dog Company was supposed to take care of requests in this area...

Armin

It's fine, we just have to make sure not to get caught.

Kluri

Oh no...

Armin

What's with that face? How are you expecting to make money if you worry about every little thing?

Kluri

You'd have a lot more money yourself if you didn't spend it all on earrings, Commander.

Armin

Uh, well... You've got to earn as much as you spend.

Kluri

Commander...

Armin

What now?

Kluri

...We got caught.

Cidd

It's been too long, Armin. Actually, I guess it really hasn't been that long, huh?

That's right, just a week ago we agreed not to interfere in each other's work.

But it seems like you've already forgotten...

Armin

Wow, this is awkward.

Dingo

I guess you need to fight her again.

Kluri

Great! This is a perfect chance to try out Fluri in battle!

The opponents are a bit strong for a first battle, but after all of that tough training I put them through...

Go Fluri! Attack!

Fluri

Flululululu

Armin

What are you doing? Help me, Kluri!

Kluri

Don't worry, Commander! I've just sent out my secret weapon.

Fluri

Flulululu!

Armin

Are you really not going to help?

That stupid bird of yours isn't even fighting properly!

Fluri

Flulululu?

Kluri

You're right... What's wrong with it?

Armin

It's just like its master!

Kluri

You might be right... *sighing*... Of all the things to learn from me...

Cidd

If you think you can get us to go easy on you by acting like this, you're wrong, Armin!

Fluri

Flulululululu

Dingo

Wow...! Such a feisty and fresh ingredient! You can expect a hearty dinner tonight, Cidd.

It just needs some light roasting...

Kluri

What!? No! You can't eat my Fluri for dinner!

You can't! Not Fluri!

Leave Fluri alone!

Fluri will always be by my side!

Dingo

She's so fast!

Kluri

Fluri! Are you okay, Fluri?

Fluri

Flululu!

Kluri

You did good, Fluri!

I don't think you gave it your best, but... You still fought hard enough!

Armin

That was amazing, Kluri... Your fighting was incredible!

You really tried your best for Fluri's sake.

Cidd

We still lost in the end, but you were amazing, Kluri.

Dingo

You have inspired me with your resolve! I'll use that resolve to create a dish! Look forward to dinner tonight, Cidd!

Cidd

I understand our enthusiasm, but you have to tell me the ingredients first. Else I'm not going to eat it.

3. Hero's Transformation

18 lines

Ki Ruburan, Mercenary District

Falconer Kluri

After that day, I became known as Falconer Kluri.

Fluri and I were a perfect team.

Time for more training. Attack that wooden doll!

Fluri

Flulululu...

Falconer Kluri

Attack... Att...

Fluri

Flululu?

Falconer Kluri

Please... You've had enough of a break...

Fluri

Flululu? Flulu?

Falconer Kluri

Just like me, it became complacent.

You don't have to...

Armin

Kluri's training again? She's really working hard these days, it's not like her.

Falconer Kluri

You should try harder to look for better requests, too, Commander. The less work, more pay kind.

Armin

I'm always looking for those kinds of requests.

Fluri

Flululu! Flululu!

Armin

What's it saying?

Falconer Kluri

I think it's saying... less work, more pay. We all think alike.

Armin

Wow...
