Home sweet home! ...How many days has it been?
I've lost track. How many times do I have to tell you not to chase after monsters...
I know, but chasing them is how we found the Forkmugger, wasn't it?
Sure, and if I'd found you any later, you definitely would've been Forkmugger food.
Meow! Meow!
Yeah, you should thank her too, Nyanners, if you keep thanking her, she'll, Huh?
Huh?
Nyan?
Nyan!
Nyanners! Have you been following us the whole time?
Nyan!
From the very beginning?!
...Can you really understand what it's saying, or are you just making things up?
Nyan.
Ugh... Verna, I can't help this feeling... We have to take it home!
No stopping you now, I guess...
We'll find out once we get there. We've gotta go to the gathering hub anyways.
Let's turn in our request first.
Are we really just going to ignore it?
Hello, adventurers. What can I help you with?
We've finished our request.
Please identify this seed for us!
Breezeville is being attacked by goblins!
I want to check my Adventure Level.
Please tell us what request Penny is working on.
We posted the request to the board.
We're here to turn in Penny's request.
Do you happen to know someone named Colimbus...?
(Leave.)
I want to talk about something.
I've finished a request.
I'm here to report on an anomaly.
We took down a Forkmugger.
Wow! That's very impressive. It must have been hard to track it down.
Well, we had some high-quality bait on our hands.
We had bait...? You don't mean me, do you?
Ahahaha... Um, I'll mark this one down as "complete."
Geez... You're impossible. Let's go get Nyanners registered.
Zzz...
Hi! We want to check the Monster Codex.
(Leave.)
[Event] Monsterling Research Deep Dive!
Zzz...
Hello? Wakey wakey eggs and bakey! Hello?
Zzz... Go away... I don't wanna...
Do we come back later? She's not gonna wake up.
Oh no, what ever shall we do? We found a new monster that we've never seen before! Should we eat it?
New... monster...?
Am I still dreaming?
Meow!
Not here. Truly unknown.
Leave it here. Now.
Huh? No way! No! It's my Nyanners!
Danger test. It won't take long.
Be a good kitty. Stay here, okay?
Meow...
Why are you being so dramatic...?
*Sob* I'll come back for you! I promise!
Some time later...
Ah, you're here. I'm done. With the assessment, I mean.
It's not a dangerous monster. Probably.
I knew it! There's no way Nyanners would hurt anyone!
$CAT_NAME$...
...What an interesting name.
Okay. We'll be going.
Hold on. Don't go yet.
You need to see something.
What's going on? Why's everyone here?
I'm not sure. I heard there's some new type of monster.
Grr... Graah! Rawr!
This cappy. No one's managed to tame it.
All of the professors back at HQ gave up.
It bites. A lot.
Ugh...
Okay. Good luck.
Alright it's time for the fun part.
$CAT_NAME$, I choose you!
It didn't eat it.
Check it out. It's a Monsterling. Quality? Top Tier!
A Monsterling means that this monster... was completely and thoroughly tamed!
Normally, that would take at least a decade.
Add hot water? Ta da!
Monsters aren't ramen.
Whoa...
Cap?
Cappy...?
Huh? Whoa!
Cappy! Cappy!
Haha, that's great and all... But you just came out of someone's rear end...
This special ability is unique to $CAT_NAME$.
What ability?
Its digestive tract must be connected to another dimension. Unlimited belly space!
Its saliva has an extremely strong sedative effect that can subdue even the most aggressive of monsters.
As long the target has been thoroughly worn out first.
But if those conditions are met, the possibilities...
...Less talk.
Bad stuff in. Good stuff out. The end.
Anyway, that's all I had time to learn.
If something else happens, come report it to me first. And, um, don't die out there, I guess. Alright, I'm going back to sleep...
Ah! Verna, Cloud! Are you looking to take on more requests?
You haven't decided on your next request, right?
Actually, I wanted your help dealing with cappies; we've received reports that they've been attacking travelers recently.
Ahahaha... Um, this is actually a public request from the Guild itself, so the point reward is actually quite high. But, you know...
Know what?
The monetary reward is... quite low.
How low are we talking...?
100 Gold...
100 Gold?! That's way too low!
I mean, the point reward is high, right? We'll do it!
Hey...! We'd practically be working for free...! And, Gah, forget it. I'm not getting through to you at all today, am I?
Good luck out there.
Right! Let me introduce you to a reliable adventure companion who'll be a big help!
Look over there! Cappies!
Why are they stumbling around like that? Did they climb out of someone's pot?
Hah!
Verna, what's...
It's some kind of... seed?
I guess this is what made them sick. Check it out. It even looks evil.
Let's take it with us.
Verna, no! Who knows what touching it'll do to you?!
Nyan!
(*Gulp*)
I-it ate it?!
No-no-no-no-no! Hey! Spit it out!
Nyan!
...How the heck do you understand it?
Verna, who's over there?
A person...?
What's he doing with that Cappy?
Huh? Drat. Spotted.
Tch!
That guy... Did he lead us over here on purpose?!
Cappy...!
This one isn't looking too good either! It has those crazy eyes...!
Hah!
Cappy...
Cap...
(Take a closer look.)
(Leave it there.)
Verna, there's something in its throat.
Cloud, hold it down for a second.
What? Wait, what are you gonna...
Hah! Hyah!
Cappy... *Cough!*
Nice! It coughed up the seed!
Cap-py...
Oh... It passed out...
You're lucky that you didn't kill it...
Darn... That suspicious guy got away...
Well... Nothing we can do about that. We should go report this to the gathering hub.
