Episode 1, Chapter 1: Scouting the Area

If only we'd met sooner...

Maybe things might have...

Maybe... It wouldn't have ended like this.

(Wait... It was me...?)

Cloud...

Thank you...

The Threads of Fate must be deployed to stitch together the Wound of the World...

And I am the one and only irreplaceable needle.

No...

Don't go!

Goodbye.

No... No... NOO!!!

Was it that dream again?

You've had a lot of nightmares lately.

This is why you shouldn't nap without a roof over your head...

Verna...

Did you eat without me?

What?

I smell something delicious... What was it?

...Dried cappy! I roasted some dried cappy!

Because we'd be home by now if you weren't slacking off earlier!

Slimelet this, Slimelet that... Did you forget why we're out here?!

But you touched it too, Verna... You know how unique its texture was!

No way that was an ordinary Slimelet!

Ahh... YOU!!!

I'm so hungry...

Time to look for something to eat!

Hmm... I can feel it... It's over there!

Aha! I can always trust my gut.

Oh no... These are poisonous.

Ugh... I'm so hungry... I should've listened to Verna...

Wait, is that a cappy field?!

If there are cappies around here, that means there must be mushrooms nearby!

Careful... Careful...

Doesn't seem like there's anything over there.

This should be enough.

I wish I had something to drink too...

Wait, what's that smell?

It smells savory, fatty, and delicious... Something's cooking!

Now, where's it coming from... Over there?

Huh? Where'd Cloud go?

Oh no... He's probably chasing after some monster again!

Ugh... He's always such a handful...

Do I need a babysitter to watch him...? Ugh!

Oh! These are his footprints!

That's crazy...

I've never seen cappies charge at someone like that before...

Verna!

Cloud? What are you doing over there?!

Verna, look!

A new monster!

Save it, quick!

Should I just leave you there?

Save me, too!

*Sigh*

Looks like you were on the menu, huh?

Quick! I'm being roasted!

How did this even happen?

Phew... I'm saved!

*Snort?*

Ooh, a second course has arrived!

Fresher than the blue one, too!

What? I'm a year younger than her!

Run, you idiot!

Ack!

If my food runs away, I get hungry. When I get hungry, I get angry! *Snort*

Ahh! We forgot! Where'd Nyanners go?!

Nyan?

Huh? Did we save it already? How'd you get free?

Nyan!

It probably wasn't tied up to begin with.

It wasn't?

Well... I guess that means we're done with our request? Let's head back.

Then what about Nyanners...?

Nyanners...?

Well, earlier it was going "nyan, nyan," so it's Nyanners...

You already named it...?

Whatever. Leave it. If these monsters live around here, we're bound to see tons more.

Ugh... I guess so...

Nyan!

Nyan?

Sorry, but this is goodbye, Nyanners.

Meow?!

I'll be sure to come see you again. I promise!

Meow...! Meow!!!

Let's hurry back to Hananis.

We should report that our request is complete.
