Ophelia

Natura Monastery... That's the one that was abandoned long ago and is currently in ruins, correct?

Hm? I think that stone creates a barrier that stops monsters from approaching, right?

Verna

Yeah... Why is it... broken?

Francis

We should investigate.

Hmm... It certainly doesn't look like this was natural causes.

I wonder who or what could've done that?

Cloud

Claw marks of this size...

There shouldn't be any monsters that big around these parts...

Ophelia

I see. So this area isn't as safe as we thought.

Cloud

The heck?!

Francis

Ahh! The monastery...!

Cloud

We should be able to see it from over there!

Huh? What is that...?!

Ophelia

A dreadful sight...

Cloud

Custos should be fine... right?

Francis

I would certainly hope so...

But we should hurry before the monastery is completely destroyed.

Cloud

Woah. It's really steep here! Be careful, Verna.

Verna

Hurry up! There's no time to waste!

Francis

If you're feeling scared or anxious, I have a shot for that. ♡

Cloud

No thank you! Now that I look at it again, it's not that steep after all!

Phew... That was dangerous.

Verna

We don't know how dangerous the rest of the monastery will be.

Ophelia

By the way, why is your cat shaking like that?

Cloud

Oh. Give me a second.

Mm. Mm-hmm.

It says the monastery has a strange energy.

It thinks we should investigate.

Verna

Yeah, okay. You and the cat lead the way.

Cloud

Hmm... This place looks a lot worse on the inside.

Verna

Let's hurry up and find what we're looking for before we're buried underneath the building.

Ophelia

This must be the prayer hall.

$CAT_NAME$

Mew... Meow.

Verna

And?

Cloud

It seems even stronger now. It's coming from this room.

Verna

Well, we can't go any further inside.

It doesn't look like anything's hidden here. Are you sure?

$CAT_NAME$

Mew.

Cloud

$CAT_NAME$ says it wouldn't lie.

Verna

*Sigh* Okay. Let's go.

It's not here...

Francis

Nothing here, either.

Ophelia

There's light coming from behind this wall.

Verna

Okay. Stand back, everyone. I'll try pushing it.

Ophelia

A secret passage.

Francis

This space must have something to do with the Warden of Nature.

Cloud

Looks like a dead end! Not much of a secret passage.

Verna

What's the mirror for?

Francis

Smells like an old artifact.

There's some kind of ancient writing on it, but because of the dust... I can't really make out what it says.

Where are we?

Ophelia

It's like we were transported to another space.

Cloud

Of course! There's no way that was the end!

A giant... treasure chest?

Ophelia

I have a bad feeling about this...

Verna

The key!

Cloud

Whoa! I-it's not friendly!

Ophelia

It seems to be the opposite of friendly.

Get ready for battle!

Cloud

It's been completely shattered...

Francis

Custos was probably corrupted long before we arrived.

We lost our one hope... of cleansing the forest...

Ophelia

Yes. But that was just one hope.

There are still many more.

Verna

Ophelia is right. C'mon. Let's go.

Uncle Miller might know some other things we can try.

Cloud

Can't we take a piece or two back with us, though?

Verna

It's rock! Don't be stupid, leave it be!

Oh gosh... Did we do something extremely awful?

Cloud

Extremely awful?

Verna

Well, even if Custos was corrupted... We kinda sorta destroyed an ancient guardian deity, didn't we?

Cloud

Oh... You... mean the part where we killed Custos. Well, when you put it that way... that does sound pretty bad...

Francis

Well, Custos was corrupted and attacked us first. It would've been worse if we just set it loose.

Ophelia

This was a skill issue.

Maybe if it had trained instead of sleeping for thousands of years, it would have emerged victorious.

Verna

That's... not the point!

Miller

Oh! You're back! Did you manage to find Custos?

Verna

Erm... Well... We did find it...

But it suddenly went berserk and started attacking us.

Miller

Berserk...? Attacking you...?

Verna

So, um... We had no choice but to fight back... And we kind of... destroyed it.

Francis

Complete and utter destruction. ♡

Miller

D-destroyed...?!

Verna

I'm sorry! But we didn't have a choice... It was us or him!

Miller

I knew you guys were no ordinary rookies... But an ancient guardian deity... for you to go up against one of those... You actually destroyed it?

I guess you really do take after those two, don't you Verna?

Ophelia

Guardian deity or not, it did not build upon its skills. It was rusty.

Miller

That's... not the point, but, sure... Anyway. Cloud!

Cloud

Yes, Branch Master Miller! What's next?

Miller

I've got the gist of the situation... As for what I want you to do next...

Not a clue!

Let me think about it a little more. I'll call you over when I've got a plan.
