| ──At a certain castle...── | |
| Saleh | Wind Edge! |
| Monster | Yeeaaargghhh!!! |
| Saleh | Such a hassle. At least I've managed to obtain what I've come for. So this is it, eh? I can sense the depths of its power... There seems to be no end to it! If the legends are true, then this will be a party rife with misery and despair! How I look forward to that! Heh heh heh... Bwa ha ha ha ha ha! |
| Child A | Hee hee! What do you think? Doesn't this tail look great on me? |
| Child B | This hat is so adorable! |
| Resident C | Hey, did you get that thing ready yet? |
| Resident D | Ah, dang it! I completely forget! I'll do it right now! |
| Sara | Wow, this place is really hopping! Looks like some kind of dress-up festival or something? |
| Lippy | Indeed! It is a local tradition that dates all the way back to the era of ancient magic! |
| Sara | Wow, really? This town's been around for that long? |
| Lippy | Apparently the town of Camilla was once within the domain of a vampire who possessed unusual powers. |
| Sara | Yeah? Like what? |
| Lippy | According to the legends, this vampire could summons monsters and apparitions at will. The vampire and his minions terrorized the people who lived here. But one day, a group of peculiarly dressed travelers appeared— seemingly out of nowhere. They slew the vampire and sealed the source of his power away. So that they never forget their debt, the people of this village dress up like the traveling heroes to honor them in an annual festival. |
| Sara | Huh! From what I've seen of the villagers' costumes, you weren't kidding when you said they were peculiarly dressed. |
| Lippy | Indeed! I'm seeing villagers dressed as witches, fairies, and... a dog? No, perhaps that's a wolf? It certainly is a joy to witness their revels, isn't it? However...! |
| Sara | Right! We've got to stay serious. We can't forget that we're here to accept an urgent mission. |
| ？？？ | Hey! (user)! Sara! Lippy! |
| Sara | Emil? |
| Emil | Ah, I'm so glad I found you! With so many people around, I was afraid I'd miss you in the crowd. |
| Lippy | Quite a reasonable fear! But Master Emil, where is Lady Marta? |
| Emil | We had such short notice on this job that she was still busy with another one. So... it's just me. She said she'd come with me anyway, but I convinced her I could handle it. It... wasn't easy. |
| Sara | Ha! That sounds like Marta, all right. So, have you managed to figure out what this mission is all about yet? |
| Emil | I was told it involved investigating monster activity in the region, but I don't know why it's such an emergency. |
| Sara | So no one told you either, huh? Well, this job came from Rowen, and he wouldn't have said it was urgent if it wasn't... What's that, (user)? Yeah, you're right. We'd better find Rowen and ask him directly. |
| Emil | I was told he'd meet us at the mayor's house. Lead the way, (user)! |

| Rowen | Thank you for coming. In spite of the circumstances, I am delighted to see you all again. |
| Elize | It's so nice to see you. |
| Teepo | I missed you all so much!!! |
| Sara | Elize! And Teepo too! |
| Emil | What are you doing here, Elize? |
| Rowen | Allow me to explain. We've seen a dramatic increase in reported monster sightings in this region. |
| Elize | Rowen and the mayor of this town are good friends, which is why he was invited to the festival. |
| Rowen | And since Elize seemed interested in attending, I asked her to join me. |
| Lippy | I see. So you arrived in town, and the mayor told you about the sightings... |
| Rowen | Ideally I would have liked to investigate the matter myself, but unfortunately, I need to go back to attend to yet another emergency. |
| Sara | So you asked the guild to send us. |
| Rowen | Precisely. I am terribly sorry for pulling you away from your tasks, but I could think of no other way to ensure the matter would be resolved. |
| Emil | That's nice of you to say, but... Investigating monster sightings? Any guild member could handle that. |
| Rowen | There is another factor that has me concerned. Are you all familiar with the legend of this town? |
| Sara | The story about the vampire? That's just local folklore, right? |
| Rowen | I had presumed the same, but... The monsters that have been sighted bear an unmistakable resemblance to the monsters that the vampire is said to have summoned in the story. |
| Emil | So you think... |
| Rowen | I lack the evidence to arrive at a definitive conclusion. It could be mere coincidence. But if it's not... |
| Lippy | That does indeed sound like a matter that warrants a thorough investigation. And one by a team that's experienced at battling monsters. |
| Elize | Okay, Rowen. You can count on us to handle this for you. |
| Teepo | Elize and I will be coming too! |
| Emil | I thought you might. Listen, though... doesn't this job require someone who knows a lot about monsters, and the town's history? |
| Rowen | Yes. That is why I an so pleased to have Lippy on the team, as well as two specialists who have yet to arrive. |
| Sara | Two specialists...? |
| ？？？ | H-Hey! Don't pull me so hard! Hurry, Rita! Rowen expecting us hours ago! Kwekee! |
| Rowen | Ah. It appears they're here. |
| Emil | Wait, that sounds like... |

| Meredy | Baiba! Sara team is here! |
| Rita | You guys? What the hell...?! |
| Sara | Meredy! Rita! |
| Emil | Rowen, the specialists you mentioned... |
| Rowen | Yes! I decided to turn to two of the foremost magical researchers I know. |
| Sara | Good call! |
| Lippy | Lady Meredy, Lady Rita... It is a pleasure and an honor to be working with you again. |
| Meredy | Yeah! This is be great! |
| Rita | Hey! No one's agreed to anything yet! What's this about? All you said was that it had something to do with the era of ancient magic? |
| Rowen | Correct. Allow me to explain. |
| Meredy | Baiba! The myth monsters is back?! |
| Elize | That's only a theory at this point... |
| Meredy | Oh no! Meredy help investigate! |
| Rowen | Thank you, Meredy. That is a great relief to me. How about you, Rita? |
| Rita | A vampire... that controls evil apparitions... |
| Rowen | Yes...? What is it, Rita? |
| Rita | It's nothing! It's just that... none of this sounds like it holds up to scientific scrutiny! This is almost certainly a case of witness error! I don't even see the value in pursuing it... |
| Emil | Yeah, but what if it's not? Even if you dismiss the legend part of it, we can't just ignore a sudden increase in monsters! |
| Rita | Well, that may be so, but— |
| Teepo | Oh, I get it! Rita's afraid of vampires! |
| Rita | Wh-What?! N-No! |
| Meredy | Baiba! Rita, you scary of monsters? |
| Rowen | Ah, forgive me. Had I known that before I summoned you, I never would have— |
| Rita | N-No! Everyone shut up! I'm not afraid of vampires! I just prefer to stay grounded in science! |
| Meredy | Then Rita help us too? Hweel! |
| Teepo | You sure you're okay with this, Rita? |
| Rita | Of course I'm okay! You think I can't investigate some minor phenomenon like this? Ha! I'll be done by nightfall! |
| Emil | Rita, if you're not comfortable, you really don't need to— |
| Rita | Shut up! I'm comfortable, all right? I've never been more comfortable in my damn life! |
| Sara | Uh... Okay, then... I guess that's the team...? What's that, (user)? Oh, good question. How exactly do you want us to investigate this, Rowen? |
| Rowen | The reports suggest that the monsters are nocturnal, becoming active only at night. So perhaps tonight you could patrol the region— |
| Rita | At night?! |
| Lippy | Lady Rita, is that a problem? |
| Rita | No, it's not a problem! I'm not frightened at all! |
| Elize | Are you sure you want to do this, Rita? |
| Teepo | It's okay to admit you're scared! |
| Rita | Shut up! We're doing this, all right? Everyone get ready! Now! |

| Rita | ... |
| Quickie | Kuweeek! Kuweekee! |
| Rita | Bwah! |
| Emil | G-Geez, Quickie! You scared the heck out of me! |
| Quickie | K-Kwek... Kwekee... |
| Meredy | Quickie seem scary of something... |
| Elize | We can handle monsters, Quickie. You don't need to be afraid. |
| Teepo | It must be a vampire! It's probably about to attack us with its army of monsters and ghosts! |
| Sara | Um, Rita... Are you okay? |
| Rita | Huh? What? Y-Yeah, of course! |
| Lippy | Dear me, Lady Rita. You look dreadful! |
| Sara | What's that, (user)? You feel it too, huh? There's definitely something weird going on here. Let's be ready for anything. |
| Emil | It looks like we finally found a clearing. |
| Elize | The moon sure is beautiful. |
| Lippy | The moon light really is quite enchanting, is it not? But what is that in the distance—some sort of castle? |
| Elize | That must be where the vampire in the legend hid his secret source of power! |
| Rita | Not a word of that sentence stands up to scientific scrutiny! |
| Quickie | K-Kuweekee! |
| Sara | What's that?! Everyone, look out! |
| Emil | I'm sensing something really strange here. Strange and... powerful. |
| Lippy | I'm performing a smartphon analysis as we spea— |
| What a delightful coincidence. You've saved me a trip to the Heavens. | |
| Sara | Huh?! L-Lippy? |
| Elize | Is... Is that... |
| Emil | A vampire?! |
| Meredy | That person is flying! Persons don't fly... |
| Rita | This isn't happening! None of this can be happening! |
| Sara | (user)! He's got Lippy! We've gotta catch him! |
| Emil | What's this?! |
| Rita | Some sort of barrier created to deter intruders? Let me see that... No good. This is astonishingly complex magic. Normal dispelling techniques aren't gonna cut it. |
| Sara | So now what? |
| Rita | I hate to say it, but we should return to town. We're gonna need to learn more before we can get through this. |
| Emil | I think Rita's right. Staying here won't accomplish anything. |
| Sara | Yeah, I guess not... All right, let's hurry back to town! |
| Mayor | I see... I never imagined that the vampire might actually return... If it really was the vampire that abducted your friend, then we haven't much time to spare. According to the legends, those abducted by the vampire never survived the night. |
| Sara | N-No! |
| Rita | But we can't save Lippy until we can figure out how to get past that barrier. Is there anything about that in the legends? |
| Mayor | There is one thing that comes to mind... |
| Elize | What is it? |
| Teepo | Hurry up and spill it! |
| Mayor | Some of the equipment that the previous heroes used when sealing away the demon survives to this day. Apparently they had artes cast upon them that made them resistant to the vampire's power. |
| Emil | Okay... So if the vampire was the one that created the barrier... |
| Rita | We might be able to break through it with the anti-vampire artes! None of this sounds very scientific, though... |
| Elize | But it might work! |
| Rita | We don't have any other ideas or time to spare, so let's give it a shot. Where's this equipment? |
| Mayor | Please, follow me. |
| Sara | We're coming for you, Lippy! I promise! |
