Fifth Game: Togakushi Souryuden (3/8)

Voyager, you might be my Servantor at least, you used to bebut you weren't my first friend.

Oh, right. I remember. When I met you...you had a really, really big friend.

I see. So Voyager wasn't your only friend then.

That's right. I really looked up to them. They were kind, dependable, and they had a lot of integrity...

And now, I have to save them.

All right, it's your turn now, Voyager. Let's hurry this up so we can finish the game.

Okay. I will!

We're almost to the halfway point. Stay sharp; we've still got a long road ahead of us.

Do you think the trail keeps going past that gate?

If you're worrying about hoofing it up the mountain...don't. Getting there's the easy part.

What I'm worried about is whoever's waiting for us at the goal.

I know who. Erice's friend.

？！

Ugh, do you dorks, like, ever shut up?

You know, this might not be my Mt. Suzuka, but for some reason my Spirit Origin is totes at home here.

So hey, since you dweebs, like, managed to make it up to the middle of Togakushi, how 'bout you kick back and...chillax with me for a while?

We did it! We defeated Suzuka Gozen!

You know, between Benkei, Kotarou, and Suzuka, there seems to be a distinct theme to our opponents...

？！

I heard her mention "Togakushi." Could that be the name of the mountain?

Yup, it is. Mt. Togakushi's home to both Shugendou practitioners and ninja, both of which are going to be a serious pain to deal with.

Damn, and Erice just pulled ahead by rolling a twelve!

Aww, sucks to suck. Don't let it, like, get you down though, yeah?

Erice just rolled her dice. We're still ahead of her for now, but...

Khh, I can't believe we're stuck here for the next round!

Heh... Not bad.

Erice just appeared six hundred meters ahead of us. I'm afraid we've lost our lead, Senpai.

And since she defeated the enemies trying to stop her, she won't have to sit the next round out, either.

Wait for me, Erice!

...It looks like she's ignoring our attempts to contact her.
