The two spike-haired dudes from the rival workshop are taking the girl away. Ritch is on the ground, weakened from being tag-teamed and beat up.
Ritch: Dammit! I can’t let it end like this!
-I have to help her! I have to… I must…!
(White light)
Protect her…!
Ritch: What on earth? That voice… did it come from the stone just now…?
//If you tried to “summon up” using the stone before, you get:
Ritch: But nothing happened when I tried to use it before!
//
-You need to call out my name…
-My name…!
Ritch: You name…? Tell me, what is it!
-My name is…!
Ritch: RUN-DOR!!
(A ball of white light appears)
Goon: What’s that?!
???: Stop it! The Summonite is too close its raw form! You won’t be able to handle it!
-Stop!
Ritch: Aaaauuugh!!!!
(RUN-DOR apppears)
????: You really… no way…
Ritch: That’s… the same Summon Creature from before!
RUN-DOR: System error. Mode change.
(RUN-DOR downgrades)
Ritch: He—he changed? Why?
RUN-DOR: …
Goon: Since when do you know how to summon…!
Ritch: Heh… Heheh… truth be told, I only figured out how to do it just now.
Goon: Don’t screw with me… Hey! You!
RUN-DOR: …
???: What happened, RUN-DOR? Are you okay?
RUN-DOR: …
-There was a system error. I could not execute the transformation command.
???: Maybe… he didn’t have enough skill to do the summoning after all? Have you broken down?
Ritch: He can break down?!
Goon: Ha! Broken down, huh! As to be expected of your Summon Creature!
RUN-DOR: Present mode is fully functional. There is no existing problem.
Goon: What was that?
RUN-DOR: Present mode is fully functional. There is no existing problem.
Goon: … Hey.
Ritch: What are you looking at?
Goon: What did that mean?
Ritch: Eh?
-I don’t know.
Goon: How can you not know? You’re the idiot who summoned it!
Ritch: Shut up! This is the only time I’ve ever done something this big! I just…
-Did it on instinct!
Goon: What’s that mean, on instinct?
RUN-DOR: … Internal retrieval in progress.
-…
Goon: … Hello?
RUN-DOR: …
Ritch: Heeyy!
RUN-DOR: …
Goon: What’s with this thing?! It really is broken!
RUN-DOR: Present mode is fully functional. There is no existing problem.
Ritch: Enough of that, already!
Goon: I wonder what we should do with the Summon Creature. Maybe I oughta smash it once and for all!
???: Stop it!
-(blocks their path)
Goon: Get outta the way!
-(punches Murno)
RUN-DOR: (annoyed) Lady Murno!!
Ritch: Murno?!
RUN-DOR: Code Red! System switching to Battle Mode!
Goon: Huhh?!
RUN-DOR: Danger to Lady Murno. Initiating removal of perpetrator!
(RUN-DOR attacks Goon; defeats him)
Goon: Damn…! This guy…!
RUN-DOR: …
Goon: Uh…
RUN-DOR: …
Goon: D-dammit! (runs off)
RUN-DOR: Situation terminated.
Ritch: You’re so strong! That was so cool!
RUN-DOR: …
Ritch: Heeyy…
Murno: I’m really glad, RUN-DOR.
Ritch: Eh? What’s that about?
RUN-DOR: …
Ritch: I don’t really get it… but, it’s good that they’re finally gone.
Murno: Yeah… Um…
Ritch: Hm?
Murno: I—I’m really sorry…
Ritch: What are you apologizing for? Hey… it’s Murno, right?
-Ah! I’m Ritchburn. I’m a Craftknight! … Apprentice.
Murno: Craftknight?
Ritch: An expert of weapon craft and a master of the sword!
Murno: Oh.
Ritch: Anyway, I wanted you to tell me a few things… ah, that’s right!
-Does that mean that Summon Creature was yours the whole time?
Murno: … That’s right.
Rif: He attacked my master, and because of that now she’s hurt!
Murno: Is that true…?
RUN-DOR: Yes.
Murno: …
And guess who happens to pop in?
V.E: Ooh, Ritch. Who’re those kids with you?
Ritch: Master, I found the Summon Creature who attacked you.
V.E: Seriously? Where is he?
Ritch: Right here.
V.E: Huh?
RUN-DOR: …
V.E: HUH?
