Farewell, My Instructor

Baba: There's a big problem, nyerk! J-Just a second... I need to catch my breath...

Hallina: Baba, calm down and speak slowly. Otherwise ‹your name› can't understand what's going on.

Baba: S-Sorry! *deep breath* ...Okay, I already feel much better, nyerk.

Baba: Some guild members have gone missing, nyerk!

Baba: Here's what happened, nyerk. I told them you'd be leaving soon...

Baba: And they were all so shocked and sad, nyerk. They said they had to get you a farewell gift and ran off.

Baba: But I haven't heard a word since... What do we do, nyerk?!

Hallina: Did they say anything about where they were going?

Baba: Well... after all our combat training, they've gotten a little overconfident. They said they were going to hunt down some hidden treasure, nyerk.

Hallina: Treasure? Oh no... Don't tell me they went to that place everyone's been talking about lately?

Hallina: Ruins where the Destruction Archons supposedly stashed all their belongings before luring the Balaur to the Impetusium!

Baba: That's exactly it, nyerk!

Hallina: This isn't good... With all the rumors going around, it's probably already crawling with marauders...

Baba: Nyerk... What a pickle... ‹your name›, would you be willing to help? They used to be your students, after all.

Baba: No, no, no! What do I do, nyerk!?

Baba: You'll be happy to? I knew it, nyerk! Once a teacher, always a teacher!

Baba: I'll tell you where to find the ruins. And if anything happens, contact me right away, nyerk!

Mysterious Marauder: What the...? No treasure, just a bunch of Shugo?

Mysterious Marauder: How about we catch a couple to sell? Wouldn't want all our effort to go to waste, would we? Heh heh...

Shugo Student: H-Help me, nyerk!

I-I'll be over there...

Don't worry about me. Just get in touch with them.

Baba: ‹your name›! Did you find the merchant guild members, nyerk?

Baba: What?! I'm heading over right now, nyerk!

Baba: Let's meet in front of that house, nyerk!

Mysterious Marauder Chief: I-I nearly died out there... They were tougher than I expected...

Mysterious Marauder: Who the hell are you!?

Instructor...! Watch out, nyerk.

Intruder!

You won't get away with this!

Attack!

Shugo Student: Oh nyerk...

Shugo Student: Training instructor! *sob* I knew you'd come save us, nyerk!

Shugo Student: You wanna know what happened, nyerk?

Shugo Student: W-Well... We heard you were leaving soon, so we really wanted to get you a gift, nyerk.

Shugo Student: Then we heard rumors this place was full of treasure, so we thought we could find something super valuable for you, nyerk.

Shugo Student: But marauders already beat us here... They attacked us right away, and I passed out, nyerk.

Shugo Student: When I woke up, I was locked up here. *sob*

Shugo Student: I don't know where the others are either, nyerk. They might've been dragged even deeper in.

Shugo Student: Nyerk? You want me to head out first? Absolutely not! How could I just leave you behind?

Shugo Student: B-But I can't disobey your orders either, nyerk... Okay, I'll go and report back to Baba.

Shugo Student: Please save the others too, nyerk!

Be careful out there, Instructor!

Mysterious Marauder: What is this? You little rat!

Mysterious Marauder: Curses! Kill them!

There is no sign of the merchant guild members.

Go deeper inside.

Mysterious Marauder Chief: W-What?! You're already here? Damn it! Bring it on, then!

Let's see what you've got!

W-Wait! I surrender!

Mysterious Marauder Chief: Just hear me out! You're looking for those Quai Shugo, right?

Mysterious Marauder Chief: Our boss told us to hand this over to anyone asking about the Shugo.

Mysterious Marauder Chief: I surrender, I surrender! You win. So stop hitting me, yeah?

Mysterious Marauder Chief: Come on, just read this already.

Shugo Student: Surprise! Farewell party!

Shugo Student: Thank you for everything, nyerk! We'll be cheering for you no matter where you go!

It's a surprise party, nyerk!

Weren't expecting a farewell party, were you?

Urd: *chuckle* I heard there was a farewell party, so I dropped by.

Urd: I did say goodbye when you came with Nemon before, but I didn't have a chance to speak with you alone.

Urd: You've done a lot for us Nornir.

Urd: That's why I wanted to find time to talk to you, and this gathering seemed a perfect opportunity.

Urd: I hope I'm not intruding.

Hallina: Not at all, Lady Urd. I'm sorry I didn't mention it sooner. I thought you might be too busy.

Urd: No need to apologize. I know you were just being considerate.

Urd: ‹your name›, thank you for everything you've done for Altgard. I'm speaking on behalf of us all.

Urd: I brought a little something for you as well. You might've seen it before.

Urd: It's a Fate Card. May it one day light the path to your destiny.

Do you like it?

Hehe, I told you it was a good gift!

Urd: I'm glad you like the gift.

Urd: Actually, someone else outside was hoping to see you. Make sure to say goodbye before you leave.

Urd: You've done so much. May the blessings of the Empyrean Lords follow you wherever you go...

Shugo Student: Hehe, are you surprised?

Shugo Student: When we heard you were leaving, we started thinking about a gift. Then someone suggested throwing a surprise farewell party!

Shugo Student: Nyehehe! How was my acting? Hallina helped me out a ton, nyerk!

Hallina: Hehe, we meet again.

Shugo Student: You're the star of the evening! Go mingle and enjoy the party, nyerk.

Hallina: Surprised, weren't you? The Quai Merchants came to me for help.

Hallina: They wanted to throw a surprise party but didn't know how to go about it. I was the mastermind of the last Nornir Founding Festival, remember?

Hallina: So I decided to show what I was capable of again. Of course, the performers pitched in a lot too!

Hallina: You met them before, right?

Role: Marauder: Haha, we meet again! Thought I was a goner earlier.

Role: Marauder: You've really got skills! If we get the chance, I'd love a rematch sometime.

Hallina: Hehe, oh right! I cooked all the food myself.

Hallina: Would you like to try some?

How does it taste?

Oh! I'm so glad you like it!

Baba: ‹your name›! Say hello to the folks at this table, nyerk!

Baba: I'm so glad the party went off without a hitch!

Baba: How was it, nyerk? You totally bought my act, didn't you? I was so nervous I'd slip up, nyerk!

Baba: Come on, try this drink too, nyerk.

Baba: I made it myself at home and brought it just for this! It's going to knock your socks off, nyerk!

Baba: Nyerk? You're not drinking, just in case?

Baba: Fair enough, nyerk. But when you've got some time, let's share a drink together, nyerk!

Shugo Student: Could you come over here a moment, nyerk?

Baba, I feel dizzy...

I told you to slow down with the drinking, nyerk!

Shugo Student: Did you get to chat with everyone, nyerk?

Shugo Student: You must be busy, so we shouldn't keep you.

Shugo Student: But before you go, please say a few last words, nyerk! Head to the podium over there and give a farewell speech!

Shugo Student: Our dear combat instructor has some final words for us, nyerk. Everyone, eyes and ears front!

We'll be wishing you the best of luck on your journey ahead!

Take care of yourself, nyerk!

Urd: Ahem, I hope I'm not intruding?

Hallina: Oh my! Lady Urd!

Baba: ‹your name›! Over here, nyerk!

Baba: Who could've done something like this...?

Baba: I hope our members are okay. Let's head inside, nyerk!

Varron: Ah, there you are. I was hoping at least I'd get to see you one last time.

Varron: Why didn't I come inside? Oh... I'm just not a fan of big crowds.

Varron: After hearing that you'll be leaving Altgard, I wanted to say farewell.

Varron: It's thanks to you that I'm safe and sound here at the Assembly. You saved my life. I couldn't just let you leave without having a word.

Varron: Thanks again, really. I'll be cheering for you on whatever path you walk next.
