Assignment Event: Celtic's Number One Eccentric

Welcome. I'm the Yari-no-Mataza known as... Um... Oh, right. Maeda Setanta.

Dammit, they used my childhood name again... Then again, I guess I prefer that.

？！

Hey, Mataza! Long time no spear!

Oh wait, it's just the blue Lancer with the scarlet spear. They're really putting you through the wringer again, huh?

Whoa, that outfit's pretty rocking! Where'd you get it? Sakai? Otsu?

Huh? Do I know you?

Hahahahaha, you don't know who I am? You've got guts, I'll give you that! All right, I'mma kill you now!

Not sure why you're so eager to die, but I guess you at least get down to business as fast as my mentor.

Fine, I'll take you on if you want. We can have a little contest to see who reaches the River Styx first!

Dammit Katsuzou, why'd you even come along!? You barely said a word and you're already ruining our negotiations!

Look, we're just here to try and get you to join our side. We're not here to pick a fight!

Buddy, if you can take a hit from this cursed lance without dying on the spot, I'll join anything you want!

So you managed to beat me, huh? Not bad. In fact, that was impressive spearwork out there. I think you and I could get along just fine.

Focusing on the opponent's injuries and not my own, huh? Hahaha, now that I look closer, you're practically high as a kite with the euphoria of battle, aren't you?

Hahahahaha! Damn, your spearwork wasn't half bad either! I couldn't even dodge it!

Guess this is one of those "You should see the other guy" situations...only the other guy's on our side this time.

So you're running low on generals, huh? Fine, I'm in! This spear of Maeda Setanta aka the Hound of Culann, is now yours to use as you see fit!

I expect you two will soon be fast friends, since you both fight with spears.

Hey pal, don't think this is over! Soon as these injuries heal up, I'm gonna pay you back for this ten times over!

I knew I had you pegged right! Don't worry, buddy, I'll take you on again anytime you like!

Um...is it possible to be TOO fast friends?

Heya! I'm Maeda Setanta, aka Yari-no-Mataza! I thought I'd tag along and share some of my cursed scarlet spear's goodness while I was in town!

Maeda Setanta pledged his loyalty to you. (You can now choose him as an NPC.)
