| Dezel | Rose! Now! |
| Rose | On it! Wind Blade! Whirlwind Slash! Dark Star! |
| Monster | Gyeaaarggghhh!!! |
| Rose | Is that all you got? Sara! How's things with you? |
| Sara | Ka! Hee-yah! |
| Monster | Urrgghhh... |
| Sara | I'm okay! I got that one... somehow. Ack! There's more of them! |
| Lippy | These monsters may not be individually very strong, but they seem to be nearly infinite in number! |
| Monster | Gwaaarrr! |
| Edna | I've had enough of this. Why don't I just bury the whole lot of them alive... |
| Dezel | Don't. You'd bury us too! |
| Edna | I was only kidding, obviously. I'd have thought a seraphim of wind would have appreciated a little whimsy. |
| Dezel | Yeah, your little "jokes" have a bad habit of coming true. Maybe you oughta keep your whimsy to yourself. |
| Edna | Arggh, I can't take it anymore. I'm gonna do it! Buried alive! Everyone gets buried alive! |
| Dezel | You little... |
| Rose | Okay, enough screwing around! Let's get back to it, Edna! |
| Sara | We'd better pull our weight, Lippy! |
| Lippy | Absolutely, Lady Sara! |
| Edna | What a hassle... I wonder what Sorey's doing while I'm stuck in this nightmare? |
| Sorey | Vermillion Crescent! Molten Wall! Burning Cross! |
| Monster | Gyeaaarggghhh!!! |
| Sorey | Phew... You holding up okay, (user)? All right! Glad to hear it! |
| Mikleo | Let's finish this! Crystal Rod! Well, we've broken their first wave, at least. Is anyone hurt? Sorey? (user)? |
| Sorey | I'm okay! And I don't think we need to worry about (user), either. |
| Lailah | Everyone, look out! Another wave's coming! |
| Monster | Grrraaawwwrrr! |
| Mikleo | Looks like the reinforcements are here. And there's more of them than there was the first time... |
| Sorey | If the waves get bigger than this, we're gonna be in trouble. Lailah! |
| Lailah | I'm right here! |

| Sorey | Primordial light! Ancient Nova! |
| Monster | Gyaaarrrgh! |
| Mikleo | Is it finally over? With this many foes here... I wonder if these same monsters are attacking Rose and Sara's group? |
| Sorey | With all the support they've got, I'm not worried. But all the same, guys... Let's hurry ahead! |
| Rose | Lay destruction! Deep Squall! |
| Monster | Gyaaarrrgh! |
| Rose | That'll do it! |
| Dezel | Door's open. Looks like we broke that seal. |
| Edna | We poke around in ancient ruins and run into an army of evil. Gosh, who knew? How much longer must we stick our hands in fire and hope we don't get burned? |
| Sara | Eh heh... Heh... Are you getting a little tired, Edna? |
| Edna | Physically tired? No. Tired of this idiocy? Quite. I understand we can't ignore monsters and such, but that doesn't make it any less tedious. |
| Lippy | I'm quite certain that we're near the very heart of the ruins, Lady Edna. This unpleasantness should be over soon. |
| Rose | All we can do is go forward. How about I treat you to something when we get outta here? After all, this did turn out to be bigger job than I'd thought. |
| Edna | Now we're talking. I'll expect a strawberry tart and a chocolate pudding. |
| Rose | Hey! Those aren't cheap, you know! |
| Edna | Then have Dezel make them. |
| Dezel | Heh? Why the hell do I gotta... |
| Rose | Now that's an idea! Then I could have some too! Anyway, Lippy, can you get your smartphon working on figuring out what's ahead? |
| Lippy | Right away, Lady Rose! Dear me... I don't like the looks of this. The farther in we proceed, the more monsters we'll face. |
| Edna | That's hardly a surprise at this point. What now, Rose? |
| Rose | Well, the job's not done and we still haven't met up with Sorey, so... Onward and inward. I know we can handle whatever they throw at us! |
| Lippy | Indeed, it's not as if we have any options other than proceeding forward. |
| Sara | Besides, (user)'s group is probably still out there looking for us! |
| Dezel | Sheesh... Have some sympathy for the folk you're dragging along behind you... |
| Edna | Ha! You know you're the one who can never resist tagging along to help. |
| Dezel | Oh, shut up. |
| Edna | Well, not that I'm one to talk... |
| Rose | You two! Hurry it up or we're leaving you behind! |
| Edna | Fine. |
| Dezel | Hmph. |

| Lailah | Sorey! It looks like (user) found some sort of monument over there! |
| Sorey | Whoa! I'm on my way! |
| Mikleo | Can you make out what's written on it? |
| Sorey | It's so badly cracked that it's hard to tell for sure. But it seems to explain the purpose of these ruins... To enshrine... the roundness...? |
| Lailah | Oh! Is that what it says? Perhaps this was built by an ancient civilization that worshipped round things! That's... so beautiful! |
| Mikleo | Lailah, that... *sigh* Sorey, let me read that. |
| Sorey | Sure. But it's pretty badly damaged, so I could only make out this part here. What do you think, Mikleo? |
| Mikleo | You're right. "Enshrine the roundness." That doesn't make a lot of sense, and it certainly doesn't explain why there are so many monsters here. |
| Sorey | Yeah, the monsters here seem a lot more vicious than the ones we've encountered in other ruins. There's got to be some reason for that... |
| Mikleo | I don't think we have enough information to come up with any sort of definitive theory yet. |
| Lailah | Round things really are wonderful, aren't they? To think that people recognized that, even eons ago... Hmmm? What is it, (user)? |
| Mikleo | What are you two talking about? |
| Lailah | (user) seems to have comeup with a better way of dealing with the monsters here. |
| Sorey | Ah! So you caught that too, (user)? |
| Mikleo | That must be the same idea we had. |
| Sorey | Yeah, there was no doubt about it. Lailah's flames were fairly effective, but what was better was── Mikleo, above you! Look out! |
| Mikleo | Oh! |
| Monster | Grrrraaawwwrrr!!! |
| Sorey | Take this! Heavenly Torrent! You okay, Mikleo? |
| Mikleo | Of course! But... it looks like we've got another wave of monsters incoming. |
| Lailah | Once again, they do not appear to be particularly strong individually. |
| Sorey | All right, this time it's you and me, Mikleo. |
| Mikleo | We'll make short work of them together, Sorey. Invoke my true name! |
| Sorey | Luzrov Rulay! |

| Mikleo | This is infuriating! We slay them and slay them and they just keep coming back... But what if... |
| Sorey | Only one of them matters? While the rest are fighting, there's one that's just constantly running away... You! |
| Monster | ?! |
| Mikleo | I've got it in my sights, Sorey! |
| Sorey | Good! I'll handle the timing! Azure Assault! |
| Monster | Grrrraaaargghh... |
| Mikleo | All right! Let's move on... We can't afford to waste time. |
| Sorey | Hold on, Mikleo! You see that over there? It looks like another monument! |
| Mikleo | Wow, good eye. |
| Sorey | I got the feeling there used to be a bunch of these, lined up in a row, so I figured that'd be the direction to look. |
| Mikleo | Ah, it does look like that might be the case... Now let's go see what's on it. |
| Lailah | Yeah! I want to hear more about the roundness! |
| Sorey | Hmmm... Let's see... Huh! So that's what this is about? |
| Lailah | What is it, Sorey? What does it say? |
| Sorey | Well... Apparently these ruins were created to serve as a mausoleum for that ancient royal family's... pet. |
| Mikleo | A pet? They made all of this for a pet? |
| Lailah | But what if that pet was... Oh my! Could it really be...?! Could it be Arm──! |
| Sorey | Uh, Lailah? I didn't mean to get you all excited there. The pet in question is... a hamster. |
| Lailah | Oh! |
| Mikleo | A hamster? Wow... That really sucked the excitement out of this whole thing. |
| Lailah | Are you not familiar with hamsters? Their roundness is utterly exquisite! |
| Sorey | Heh heh... Wow, Lailah. You really do appreciate roundness, don't you? |
| Lailah | I most certainly do! How best to convey this... It's such a soft and gentle shape. When seen from behind— |
| Mikleo | Well done, Sorey. Now she's going to deliver a whole speech about the merits of roundness. |
| Sorey | *Sigh* But why are there so many monsters in a mausoleum for a hamster? This doesn't really explain anything. |
| Mikleo | Is it so hard to imagine that the restless soul of a hamster has somehow called these monsters here? |
| Sorey | All right, let's say that's what's going on. Then what? |
| Mikleo | Well, we'd probably need to find the spot where the hamster is buried. Odds are it's at the center or the ruins. |
| Sorey | What do you think, (user)? You sure? All right, let's check it out! |
| Mikleo | Are you ready to come back to us, Lailah? |
| Lailah | Hmm? |
| ──Meanwhile, Rose's team...── | |
| Lippy | My friends, I believe that this room is the burial chamber at the very heart of this structure! |
| Sara | Finally! |
| Edna | Then let's do what we gotta do and get out of here already! |
| Rose | Sounds like we're almost done here! Come on, Edna, let's look around. |
| Sara | In that case, Dezel and I will search around on the other side of the room. |
| Lippy | Allow me to assist you, Lady Sara! |
| Edna | Still ordering me around, huh? |
| Dezel | Sorey's group is bound to get here eventually. Just think of this as killing time till they do. |
| Monster | Grrraaawwwrrr!!! |
| Rose | Seriously, more of these things? Is there no end to this? Edna! |
| Edna | Poor Rose. It must be so exhausting having to boss around Seraphim all day. |
| Rose | Hephsin Yulind! |
| Monster | Grrraaawwwrrr!!! |
| Sara | Rose! Edna! Are you guys okay?! |
| Dezel | Rose! |
| Rose | We're fine! Just looks like a few stragglers! You find anything over there? |
| Lippy | Nothing that particularly stands out as seeming significant. |
| Sara | Yeah. We've combed through every nook and cranny, but... |
| Dezel | Hey! Take a look behind that rock. I can feel some air moving through it. |
| Rose | Nice work, Dezel! Is this... a statue? A sculpture of a hollow wheel...? |
| Dezel | The shape of that wheel... It makes me think of the way little animals—nah, never mind. No way. |
| Rose | All right, let's just keep searching! Let's give all these statues a close look. Do you sense anything Edna? |
| Edna | I do. This statue is made of a very rare material. The item of considerable value that Lippy mentioned... it could be this. |
| Rose | That's hard to imagine. And it's too big to take with us anyway. There's gotta be something— |
| Sorey | Rose, stop! Don't touch that wheel! |
| [A distant rumbling fills the chamber.] | |
| Rose | What the...?! |

|---|---|
| Dezel | On guard, Rose! Something's coming! |
| Rose | Oh! |
| [The rumbling continues...] | |
| ？？？？？？？？ | ... |
| Mikleo | We're too late... |
| Sorey | Wow, Lailah, you totally called it! This is it! |
| Lailah | Yes! This is the restless ghost of Mr. Hamster! |
| Rose | Mr. Hamster?! What the hell are you talking about? |
| Sorey | There's no mistake! We read the inscriptions throughout the ruins. |
| Edna | That noise is from a hamster who was buried here? *Sigh* Every day I spend with you is more absurd than the last. |
| Dezel | It's sure looking that way. |
| Lippy | My friends! It appears that the monsters nesting in these ruins have been called here by this apparition! |
| Phantom Hamster | ...!!! |
| Sara | Ah! Do you feel that? What is that?! |
| Dezel | Damn it... It's completely out of control. |
| Lailah | The powerful emotions that Mr.Hamster can't express are leaking out into these ruins... First sadness, now... rage? |
| Edna | Those powerful emotions must be the reason it couldn't remain at rest... |
| Lailah | Awww... Poor little guy! |
| Sorey | Yeah... And with his beloved hamster in such distress, his former owner can't find peace either! |
| Lailah | We have to do something, Sorey! |
| Sorey | We will. Are you ready, (user)? All right! Rose? |
| Rose | We gotta do something about "that," right? I'm on it. You guys with me? |
| Dezel | Well, I certainly don't wanna get done in by a damned hamster. |
| Edna | Lailah, (user)—work with Sara and Lippy to back our play! |
| Sara | You got it! |
| Lippy | Absolutely, Lady Edna! |
| Sorey | Thanks guys, I'm counting on you! Mikleo! |
| Mikleo | Right! Let's put this specter to rest! |
| Sorey | Luzrov Rulay! |

| Sorey | There! |
| Mikleo | That should do it! |
| Phantom Hamster | ...!!! |
| Rose | Phew. Looks like we pulled it off... |
| Sara | Yeah... That goosebumpy feeling is finally gone... |
| Lailah | Look at its little face! It's so peaceful. And adorable. |
| Edna | I think it's trying to tell us something... |
| Phantom Hamster | ...! |
| Dezel | Eh? So that... That's how you died? |
| Sorey | Wait, Dezel? You can communicate with it? |
| Dezel | Yeah. It says it died in some tragic accident. In their grief, the royal family built it this mausoleum and mourned it deeply. But the depth of their grief kept it tied to this world. They couldn't bear to part with it. |
| Edna | And after years and years of being bound here, it transformed into a specter of vengeance. |
| Sara | That's such a sad story! |
| Phantom Hamster | ...!!! |
| Dezel | All right, I'll tell 'em. |
| Mikleo | What is it, Dezel? |
| Dezel | It says to thank you for freeing it. From the bottom if its little furry heart. |
| Phantom Hamster | ── |
| Dezel | Its former owners are waiting for it in the beyond. It's eager to see'em. |
| Lailah | Be at peace, Mr. Hamster. |
| Phantom Hamster | ... |
| Sorey | Is it over? |
| Dezel | Sure looks that way. |
| Mikleo | Well... mission accomplished, then? |
| Sorey | I wonder if there's some way we could seal this place up so that no more monsters can get in here? |
| Lailah | That's a good idea. We mustn't allow them to desecrate this place more than they already have! |
| Rose | So what do you propose? |
| Lippy | I could use the power of the Heavens to create a barrier around the entire structure... |
| Sorey | Thanks, Lippy! That would be perfect! |
| Sara | Sure, I don't see why not! |
| Lippy | Very well then! Haaaaaaah! |
| Edna | Well, we investigated the ruins and wiped out all the monsters. That's both jobs done! |
| Mikleo | That's quite a relief. After we got hit by that trap right off the bat, I was more than a little worried. |
| Sorey | I'm just glad we all found each other before it was too late! |
| Rose | All that's left is to report back to my client! Sara, Lippy, (user)— thanks for all your help today! |
| Sara | It was our pleasure! I'm so glad we were able to find the root problem and solve it like that. |
| Rose | Well, I definitely owe you something for that. Here, I got this cloak on a previous job. I'm told it's a real hot item right now! |
| Sara | Whoa, that's a sweet cloak! Are you sure we can have it? |
| Rose | Absolutely! All I ask is that you turn to our guild the next time you need help! |
| Sara | Of course! Thanks so much, Rose. |
| Edna | Ahem. I trust you haven't forgotten my compensation, Rose? One strawberry tart, and one chocolate pudding. |
| Rose | I remember! Dezel's on the job, all right? |
| Lailah | What? Dezel's making dessert and only Edna gets to eat it? That's not fair! |
| Dezel | Ah, here we go... |
| Mikleo | Forgive the interruption, but wasn't it Rose who triggered that trap at the entrance? |
| Sorey | It sure was. At the very least, I think she owes it to Dezel to help. |
| Rose | Seriously, guys...? All right, fine. I'll help. Dessert for everyone. |
| Dezel | You want to help? Stay back and keep your mouth shut. I've got this. |
| Rose | Are you trying to tell me something, Dezel? |
| Sorey | Ha ha ha! |
| Mikleo | As much as I'd like to see Rose make amends, when I think about actually eating it, that's probably for the best. |
| Rose | What do you mean? I'm a great cook! Just you wait—I'm gonna make something too! |
| Dezel | How could this day get any worse... |
