Free Honey

Sprite Village

Sprites

Come on, Jubee! Show us!

Jubee

My cutie face, bee? That's easy, bee!

Sprites

Awwww! So cute!

Look at how her eyes sparkle!

You

Jubee? What are you doing?

Jubee

Ah, Master, bee! Nice to see you, bee!

I was playing with the sprites, bee!

You

Yeah, I can see that.

Sprites

Jubee, can you do a sad face, too?

Jubee

Of course, bee! Hngh!

Sprites

You look like you're really crying! Amazing!

Jubee

Ahem! This is a piece of cake, bee!

You

She seems to be more of a pet... Not a friend they're playing with...

She definitely does remind you of a puppy fetching a frisbee...

Sprites

Hey Jubee, can you do a really scary face, too?

Jubee

A scary face, bee? Hmm... I'm cute so that's a little hard, but I can try, bee!

What about this... Rawwr!!

You

Oh... Hey, Jubee, look out...!

Ashur

Kyaah!!

You

Ashur?! Are you alright?

Ashur

Oww... Yes, I'm fine. She didn't hit me.

Jubee

I'm sorry, bee! I didn't know you were there, bee!

You

Where were you off to in such a hurry?

Ashur

Oh, you wouldn't believe it! I was praying and suddenly received a revelation from Yggdrasil!

Yggdrasil told me to bake an extra sweet baked good as an offering right away!

You

Riiiight... I think I know what happened there...

So, you're headed to the bakery?

Ashur

It's not a bakery, it's a magic school!

Anyway, I ran out of sugar and was rushing to get some.

Jubee

In that case, I'll give you some honey instead, bee!

You

You sure?

Jubee

It's a token of apology since I almost bumped into you, bee...

And it's good to share delicious honey with others, bee!

Ashur

Really? Thanks, Jubee! I'm sure Yggdrasil will be happy, too!

You

You're so kind, Jubee!

Jubee

Naw, that was nothing, bee. Delicious honey is meant to be shared, bee!

A few moments later...

Erpin

*Sniff... Sniff, sniff...*

Found it! The source of this sweet smell!

Jubee

The source of a sweet smell? You mean me, bee?

Erpin

Yes!! I saw Ashur carrying some honey just now!!

Hand over your honey!

Jubee

So demanding, bee...

Erpin

Hand over the rest of your honey, and no one will get hurt!

If you don't, I'll be forced to use "the great communicator"...

Jubee

Sigh... Fine, bee. If you want honey, I'll give you some, bee.

You

You sure? You worked so hard to gather it.

Jubee

Yeah, but it can't be helped, bee. It's okay, bee. Here you go, bee.

Erpin

Mmmm... So sweet! This is all for me, and I'm not sharing!

Jubee

Hehe, That's fine, bee. Hehe...

You

Jubee... Jubee? You're okay, right?

You're all smiles, but your eyes are smoldering, you know...? Jubee...?

Jubee

That crowned sprite... I won't forget this, bee...

Jubee never forgets, bee. Hehe, hehehe...

The Honey I Made

Sprite Forest

You

I went for a rare, long walk... only to get lost in the forest. You can't make this stuff up.

Hahaha... I can't believe this. I'm lost. Where am I?

...Huh? Singing...?

Jubee

Hmhmhmm... For honey, worker bees go bzzt, bzzt... I go buzz, buzz...

You

What a strange song...

Jubee

The flowers have bloomed beautifully here, bee! Ah, so happy, bee!

Let's take this bloom and fold it like this, bee... *Nom, nom...*

...Ptooey!!

You

Ptooey?! What the heck?!

Jubee

Ah, Master! What are you doing in a place like this, bee?

You

I'd like to ask you the same thing!!

You just chewed up a flower and spat it out! What was that?

Jubee

What do you mean, bee? Can't you see that I'm gathering honey, bee?

You

You gather honey by chewing flowers like gum and spitting them out?

Jubee

How do YOU think honey is made, bee?

You

What? Honey... is gathered by honey bees...

They gather the nectar they suck from flowers, and... Hmm...

Jubee

That's right, bee. You gotta spit out what you suck in, bee!

You

Y-You lie! No way the honey I eat is made by a chew-and-spit process!

Jubee

Honey may taste sweet, but it hides a bitter secret, bee.

You

But still, spitting it out like that is just gross...

Jubee

You complain too much about the ways of nature, bee.

For tasty honey, spitting is necessary, so just grin and bear it, bee.

You

The ways of nature can be quite disgusting, it seems...

Does this chew-and-spit method make all types of honey tastier?

Jubee

Well, the taste of honey depends on the type of flower we eat, bee.

Some flowers are refreshing, some are more fragrant. That's how it works, bee.

The world of honey is a profound one, bee!

You

Oh, I see. Then what about the one from earlier? What flower was that?

Jubee

That was the flower from the Gut-Wrenching Herb, bee.

You

Gut-Wrenching? Why would an herb be named something like that?

Jubee

It gives you gut-wrenching pain when you eat it. That's why, bee.

You

Whoa, that's pretty dangerous, isn't it?

You're incredible, Jubee. You can even make safe-to-eat honey from poisonous herbs.

Jubee

.........

You

...Jubee? That honey is safe to eat, right?

You only made it for kicks, right? You'll throw it away without using it, right?

Jubee

Whoa, you don't throw honey away, bee! That's disrespectful, bee!

You

Then what are you going to do with it...?

Jubee

Since I already made it, if there is a denizen who asks for it, I'll give it to them, bee.

For example, a greedy, crowned sprite who can't get enough of sweet things, bee...

You

You sure can hold a grudge.

Jubee

Be quiet, bee. She asked for it, so I'm going to give it to her, bee!

I will now deliver this honey to the Sprite Palace, bee!

It'd be a good idea to avoid any snacks at the palace for a while, bee.

I'm letting you know because you don't have anything to do with this, bee. Got it, bee?

You

What if I tell someone what I saw here?

Jubee

Then the next batch of honey I make will be delivered to your house, bee. And it will be very, very sweet, bee.

You

Erm... I saw nothing. Yeah, it was nice running into you here... let's not see each other for a while.

Jubee

I like the way you think, bee. Take care, bee!

3. Honey Bee Here, Honey Bee There

Honey Bee Here, Honey Bee There

Sprite Village

Jubee

Oh, hi, Master, bee! Out for a morning stroll, bee?

You

Yeah, I didn't wanna work, so I snuck out.

Ah, this lighting... the temperature... this humidity... It's like the place is calling to me.

Jubee

No wonder Ner was looking for you earlier, bee.

She said that you needed to confirm something, bee.

You

A runaway Master does not get involved in the affairs of the Order.

Jubee

You're gonna get a scolding again, bee.

You

Oh, c'mon! Whose side are you on?

Jubee

Jubee sides with the cute and adorable Jubee, bee!

Rohne

Ah, Jubee, there you are. Thank you for earlier!

Jubee

Oh, hello, spy elf, bee! Has everything been taken care of, bee?

Rohne

Yes, it has, thanks to you.

You

Oh, did you and Jubee do something today, Rohne?

Rohne

Miss Elena suddenly asked me for some tongue-numbingly sweet coffee today.

I didn't know what to do, but then Jubee here gave me some honey concentrate!

Jubee

There's nothing like coffee with honey, bee! Let me know if you need more, bee.

Rohne

Thank you, I definitely owe you one! Ah, I've gotta get going now...

You

Wow, you did well, Jubee.

Jubee

Hehe, all I did was just share some good honey, bee.

Beni

Hey, Jubee! Jubee!

Jubee

Hi, Beni, bee! Did you enjoy the honey I gave you?

Beni

Yup, it had just the right amount of tingle. Your honey is the best, Jubee.

You

Tingle? Honey?

Beni

Yep! Jubee also makes some unusual honey, too.

Tingle flowers are too venomous to eat in their base form, but they're safe when made into honey.

You

The name alone makes it sound like you shouldn't have it at all...

Jubee

I'm glad you like it, bee! Those flowers had just bloomed today, bee.

Beni

No wonder! It was so fresh! Thank you, Jubee! I'll be counting on you next time, too!

Jubee

Just say the word, bee!

You

Whoa, Jubee, you sure are popular.

...Hold on, Jubee. So you delivered honey to both Rohne and Beni today?

Jubee

Yes, right, bee.

You

You went to Monatium, stopped by Werebeast Village, and then came to Sprite Kingdom? All in one morning?

How is that possible? That's quite a lot of ground to cover.

Jubee

You can do anything if you put your mind to it, bee. You just don't know because you're too lazy, bee.

You

It's not something that'll change no matter how much I try.

Jubee

Sounds like a you problem, bee.

Well then, this cute and diligent Jubee is off to gather honey again, bee! Bye-bye, bee!

You

Uh, yeah, sure, bye.

.........

Alrighty... let's follow her...

Sprite Forest

You

Something doesn't add up. There's no way you can cover so much ground in one morning.

There must be some kind of... secret passage or something that only Jubee knows about.

But... where did she go? She was just here!

Jubee

*Teleports behind you* Nothing personal, Master.

You

Ju-Jubee?! How did you get behind me?!

Jubee

Hehe, you're 100 years too early to tail me, bee.

4. What's Going on Here, Jubee?

55 lines

What's Going on Here, Jubee?

Sprite Forest

Jubee

So, why are you following me, bee? If you've got time on your hands, go find some work to do, bee.

You

I mean, it's strange, isn't it?!

How could you appear in Monatium, Werebeast Village, and Sprite Kingdom all in the blink of an eye?

Jubee

That's why you're trailing me, bee?

You

Sorry... I just thought you were hiding something...

Jubee

Hmm... I guess it does look suspicious.

Even I didn't expect to run into the spy elf and the bear werebeast at the same time, bee.

You

Right? Anyone would have been curious.

Jubee

Hmmm... Still interested in my secret, bee?

You

As long as it doesn't put me in danger...

Jubee

I like your honesty, bee.

Okay. I think I can trust you with my secret, bee.

But you'll have to wear a blindfold until we get there, bee. Is that okay, bee?

You

Not a problem. Will it take long?

Jubee

No, it's close by, bee. Alright, let's go, bee!

You

Let's go!

Somewhere within the forest

Jubee

We're here, bee. You can take off the blindfold now, bee.

You

Let's see... Where are we...?

Whoa...?! Wh-What the...?! A bunch of Jubees?!

Here a Jubee, there a Jubee... Everywhere a Jubee, Jubee!

Jubee

Surprised, bee?

You

Can you blame me?!

Who are they? Is this some kind of ninja duplication technique? Or maybe... clones or something?

Jubee

No, bee. We are all part of the same colony, bee.

This is our hideout, where we all live together and help each other out, bee.

It's like a... family business, bee.

You

A family business...? Like in the mafia...?

Jubee

Nothing that outlandish, bee. We just gather sweet, sweet honey, bee.

Your choice

Be honest, you're not even the same Jubee I was with earlier, are you?

You

Since you all look alike, you thought I wouldn't notice, and just had whichever one of you greet me, didn't you?

Oh, wait... if you're all different from each other, how do you know what we talked about...?

Jubee

Aw, you worry way too much about useless things, bee.

Jubee is Jubee, bee. No need to think too hard about it, bee.

You

How can I not...?

Your choice

What are their names?

You

They all look the same, so what should I call them?

Jubee

Jubee is Jubee, bee. Just call them Jubee, bee.

Oh, but be careful when everyone is all together, bee.

It can be overwhelming when we all look at you at the same time, bee.

You

I think I'm starting to see why you all don't travel together.

Anyway, I get it. It turns out that there has always been more than one Jubee.

So that's how you were able to appear in multiple places at once.

Jubee

Exactly, bee. We're usually all busy gathering honey. bee.

You

You don't just resemble them, but you genuinely work like a team of worker bees.

You don't have a queen bee or soldier bees, too, do you?

Jubee

Haha, we do work hard like worker bees, but we don't have a queen bee or anything like that, bee.

You

Haha, that's what I thought... So, no soldier bees either, right?

Jubee

.........

You

Uhh... riiight?

Jubee

Uh... I have no idea what you're talking about, bee!

This concludes your tour, bee! I am busy, bee!

You

Wait... answer me! No soldier bees, right?! Hey!

Within Dream

You

What's going on...? I'm pretty sure I fell asleep after having a snack...

Am I... dreaming right now?

Elves

What's that?

Sprites

The sky's gone dark!

Werebeasts

What's going on?

You

There's a commotion outside... I wonder what happened...

Huh? Look up in the sky! What's that? Is it abird?

No, it's... a giant... Jubee?

Giant Jubee

Hahaha! At last, the day has come, creatures of Elias!

From now on, this land belongs to me!

Go forth, Jubees!

Jubee Army

Jubee-Jubee!

Jubee-Jubee-Juuuuuu!

Sprites

Ugh! There are too many of them!

Elves

RUN!

You

Is this giant Jubee leading a Jubee army and invading Elias...?

What the...?! What kind of dream is this?! A Jubeegeddon?!

Elves

The anti-air guns are completely gummed up with honey and won't work!

Werebeasts

Hahaha, don't tickle my ears! Stop it! Hahaha!

You

Great job, Jubee! Successfully invading Elias... That was one in a million!

Giant Jubee

Go forth, Jubees! Cover the entire world in honey!

Jubee Army

Jubee-Jubee!

Giant Jubee

Bury these foolish creatures up to their necks in pits of honey!

And then feed them honey until their bellies are as round as honey pots!

Sprites

Wait... that actually doesn't sound so bad!

You

Hey! Who said that?! Pull yourself together!

Giant Jubee

Aha, there you are, Master!

You

Oops! I unknowingly raised my voice...!

Giant Jubee

Fly, Jubees! Pickle that one in honey!

I am the true ruler of this land! I am the Honey Bee Queen!

Jubee Army

There you are, bee!

Prepare yourself, bee!

You

What? You guys can talk?! I thought "Jubee-Jubee" was all you could say!

Jubee Army

Shut up, bee! Don't get so hung up on every little thing, bee!

Yeah, bee! Take this, bee! Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!

You

Why the heck do you guys talk like that—Mmph! Mmmph!

N-No more honey... Mmph! Please... stop—mmmph!

(It's getting hazy...!)

Holy Chamber

You

Arrrgh! Aaaarrrgh!

Where am I...? No, wait...

Was that all a dream...?

A Jubeegeddon... what a ridiculous dream... a "bee-astly" nightmare...

What the heck? What's this under my head? It doesn't look familiar...

Sniff, sniff... Royal jelly?

What in the world...?

Jubee

Bare Honey Beetessa

Sprite Village

Jubee

Hey, Master, bee!

You

Ahhh! It's the Honey Bee Queen!

Jubee

What's wrong with you, bee? Feeling under the weather, bee?

You

Oh... It's nothing. I'm just a bit out of sorts lately...

Jubee

Oh, that's perfect, bee! I've got a job for you that'll lift your spirits right up, bee!

It's about developing a new type of honey, bee. "Sweet," right, bee?

You

Ooh, that actually sounds fun. I'm down!

Jubee

Great, follow me, bee!

Elemental Forest

You

So, what do you need me to do?

Jubee

Simple, bee! Just taste these honey samples and tell me what you think, bee.

You

Sounds like it'll go as smooth as honey, won't it? Alright, ready when you are!

Jubee

Alright, here's the first sample, bee!

You

Hmm... this one has a nice, rich flavor. Apple? I get a hint of apples... delicious!

Jubee

Correct, bee. That's honey made from apple blossoms, bee.

Your palate is surprisingly refined, bee! I'm excited to see how you do with the rest, bee! Here comes the second one, bee.

You

This one's unusual... What's this? There is a musky and earthy taste... mushroom, maybe?

Jubee

Correct again, bee! It's honey made from mushrooms!

You

How in the world do you make honey from mushrooms? Do mushrooms even have flowers?

Jubee

I've got my ways, bee. Even if I explained all the technical mumbo-jumbo, it'd be over your head, bee.

You

Hmm, fair enough... let's move on to the next one.

Jubee

Wise choice, bee. I went bold on the next one, bee!

You

Oh... wait, I know this taste... The way it spreads through my mouth... a sports drink?!

On closer inspection, it's even blue!

Where'd you get something like this? Is there actually a flower that tastes like a sports drink?

Jubee

It's not a flower, bee. I found something sweet near Dragon's Cave and made it into honey, bee.

You

Dragon's Cave...? I bet Rudd bought loads of sports drinks from Monatium.

Your choice

So, you can just take anything sweet and turn it into honey?

Jubee

As long as it's delicious, that's all that matters, bee.

Sometimes you really need to go out on a limb to create some delicious honey, bee.

You

A daring honey bee invader...

Jubee

What was that, bee?

You

N-Nothing! It's not important!

Your choice

This is really out there, though.

You

I mean, blue food?! It really kills the appetite.

Jubee

Oh, no need to worry about that, bee.

It's only throwing you off because you've only seen the blue honey, bee.

Just wait until you see rainbow-colored honey, bee!

You

Just how grand of a scheme are you even plotting...?

Anyway, was that the last sample?

Jubee

Not quite. Jubee saved the best for last.

This one's very special, too, bee. I want your full, honest opinion. No sugarcoating, bee!

You

You're making me nervous... Alright, here goes... hmm... huh?!

What?! Sour and spicy honey?! What did you put in here?!

Jubee

I made it from things I found in the backyard of that potion-brewing witch, bee.

You

What?! From Posher's potion shop?! Why are you telling me that now?!

Ugh, ptooey, ptooey! No way I'm eating that, who knows what's in there!

Jubee

Awww, you spat it out, bee... What a waste, bee...

You

It's totally not a waste! And what were you hoping for?!

Do you always make such dangerous honey?

Jubee

You're wrong, bee! I don't always do this, bee!

Of course, I do sometimes make some specialty ones for custom orders, bee.

Right now, I've got a batch for that monotonous sprite, bee. Wanna have a taste, bee?

You

Monotonous...? You mean Mayo? You've got a special order from her?

Nope! Not happening. Nice seeing you! I'm out of here!

Jubee

Hey! Why are you running away, Master, bee?! You haven't finished the job yet, bee!

You

No way! Forget it! No more honey gigs for me! Not a chance!
