=== Paralogue Budding Talent === (Tea-Field Village) Can the Divine's Dragon army save the residents of a peaceful village when the Corrupted attack? --- OP --- [Jean's Father] These pills ought to clear up the problem. Let me know if the pain persists, OK? [Jean's Father] And you're looking chipper today! I told you that cold would be gone before you know it. [Jean] Father, isn't it time you took a break? Look, I made you some tea. [Jean's Father] Thank you, Jean. You didn't burn yourself or anything preparing it, I hope. [Jean] You worry too much. I'm old enough to manage a simple pot of tea, I assure you. [Jean's Father] Hm-hm, it makes me happy to see you growing up so fine. [Jean's Father] Hm? What's going on out there? [Villager young man] 3 [Villager young man] Doctor! You have to help us! Monsters are on the attack and people are getting hurt! [Corrupted] [Corrupted] [Boss] Raaargh! RAAARGH! [Jean] What the devil are those beasts?! [Jean's Father] This will get ugly. Jean, go and hide! I'll take care of bringing people to the clinic. [Jean's Father] This way, everyone! If you're unhurt, then assist someone who's injured! We must pull together! [Jean] I know Father told me to hide, but how can I? I have to do my part too! [Alear] Oh no... [Corrupted] [Corrupted] [Boss] Rrraaaagh! [Alear] " [Villager young man] Get moving! There's shelter at the clinic! [Corrupted] [Boss] $ [Jean's Father] Keep your wits about you, everyone! I'll patch you up once the crisis has passed. [Jean's Father] [Villager young man] [Alear] We can't stand idle with the Corrupted on the loose. Let's save those villagers! [Alear] Are you all right?! Get to safety and leave the Corrupted to us! [Villager young woman] You don't have to tell me twice! But there's still a few left who didn't make it out in time. [Alear] We'll do everything in our power to save as many of them as we can. [Villager young woman] They'll love you for it if you do. You're their last hope at this point! --- ED --- * [Villager young woman] Unbelievable! All the monsters are gone! $ [Villager young man] Smile [Villager young man] We're saved! And it's thanks to the lot of you. [Villager young woman] [Alear] I'm glad no one got hurt. I was a little worried there. [Villager young man] $ [Villager young woman] Smile [Villager young woman] You can't know what this means to us. We decided to give you this to show our thanks. * [Villager young woman] Are all the monsters really gone? $ [Villager young man] Smile [Villager young man] There were a few casualties, but at least we're safe now. We owe you for that. [Villager young woman] [Alear] I don't know if you should be thanking me. If I'd acted faster, I could have saved more lives. [Villager young man] $ [Villager young woman] Smile [Villager young woman] We're grateful for your help! This isn't much, but we hope you'll accept it. " [Villager young woman] Aah... My husband! Where is my husband?! [Villager girl] Aww, Daddy! [Villager young woman] [Alear] I let this village down today. I wasn't fast enough, and now so many are gone... [Villager girl] [Jean's Father] You still tried, even though you're a stranger here. That's...something, I suppose. [Jean's Father] 3 [Jean's Mother] 4 [Jean] Hmm... [Jean's Father] Come now, Jean. Give the nice people a proper thank-you. [Jean] Oh, right. Thank you for saving our village. [Alear] We saved it together. You did well today, Jean. [Jean] Oh! I introduced myself to you, but I never asked your name, did I? [Alear] Well, there was a lot going on. I'm the Divine Dragon . [Jean] The Divine Dragon?! From the land of Lythos?! Oh, please forgive my rudeness! [Alear] Don't mention it. Like I said, there was a lot going on at the time. [Jean's Father] What brings such a splendid personage to our humble village? [Alear] I've been on a journey to defeat the Fell Dragon and bring peace to the world. [Jean] The whole world? Wow. If it's all right with you, Divine One, can I come along and help?! [Jean's Father] Jean! What's gotten into you?! [Jean] My dream has always been to become a doctor so I can save people. And that hasn't changed. [Jean] But with monsters running rampant, I might die before I can do that. Look what just happened! [Jean] At the Divine Dragon's side, I think I can learn to fight and to heal people at the same time. [Jean's Father] That's all very well for you, but what about the Divine Dragon? You'd just be a burden. [Alear] Oh, I wouldn't say that. Not if what he did during that battle is anything to go by. [Alear] If Jean wants to come, I don't mind. Though I understand why you'd be worried. [Jean's Mother] Well, if he has your permission, then... I can only ask that you take good care of my boy. [Jean's Father] What? You're actually allowing him to go? [Jean] Father, I told you, you don't need to worry about me. It's not like I'm never coming home. In fact, when I do return, I'll be a first-rate doctor. You'll see! [Jean's Father] How quickly they grow up... [Jean's Father] Of course, Jean. Be a good boy, a hard worker, and an attentive student. And come home safe. [Jean] I will! Thank you, both of you. I can't wait to start working alongside the Divine Dragon! [Alear] The feeling is mutual, Jean. I have a hunch that I'll be leaning on you a lot in the days to come. --- EV --- " [Jean's Father] There are so many wounded we couldn't get to the clinic... Is it up to me to treat them all?! [Jean] Father, I'm here to help! If we split up, we can treat everyone! * [Jean's Father] Jean?! I thought I told you to run and hide! [Jean] I can't stay hidden away when there are so many who need my help! [Jean] After all, Father, am I not your son? You taught me that a doctor does whatever is needed! $ [Jean's Father] Relax [Jean's Father] My lessons have sunk in, I see. Very well, then! Come and give me a hand! [Villager visitor] Don't know how much use you'll get out of this, but every little bit helps, right? [Jean's Mother] Thank you for checking in on me. Do you think you could use this? [Jean's Mother] There's not much I can do with it, at any rate. Better it should go to a soldier like yourself. * [Jean's Mother] Jean, get inside this instant! It's too dangerous to─ What? You're helping out the village? [Jean's Mother] Well, if I can't change your mind, then you should have this. And Jean...come home safe. [Alear] It's not safe here! You should be running! [Jean] I can't. I'm the local doctor's son. I won't leave until I've helped the injured! [Alear] Huh... You've got a lot of heart for a kid your age. [Alear] All right. Let's join forces and save those villagers! [Jean] I really appreciate the help. My name's Jean. Now come on─there's work to do! --- MOVIE --- --- BT --- [Jean] You're going to have to do more than that to scare me off! $ [Jean's Father] You monster! I'll show you that the people of this village won't be pushed around! [Corrupted] [Corrupted] [Boss] Raaargh... [Corrupted] [Corrupted] [Boss] AAAGH! " [Jean's Father] I know when I'm too injured to fight anymore. Time to go and treat my own wounds... --- DIE --- [Jean] This is a deep wound... I'd better retreat while I still can. [Jean] Father... I'm sorry... I couldn't live up to your example...
