(Side Conversation)
Rif: We have to find the people who took Murno’s special demon stone… But where would they be?
Killfith: We don’t have the leisure of hesitating right now. The first thing we need to do is investigate their hideout.
Rif: Their hideout… Bostaph’s Workshop…
(End)
(Bostaph’s Workshop)
Man: What does a Stray’s apprentice want here?!
Rif: Um… I’m just looking for someone…
Man: Go home!
Killfith: …
Man: What is it? You wanna fight?
Rif: N—no, of course not!
(Rif notices that further back in the workshop is Lemmy)
Rif: Ah, hold on! You! Lemmy!
Lemmy: …
-(walks away)
Rif: (annoyed) What the heck was that?! He completely ignored me!
Man: If that’s all, then get out of here!
(Outside, Zakk walks up to them)
Zakk: Hey, Rif, what’s wrong?
Rif: Zakk! We’re saved~! Do you know where that guy is?
Zakk: Wait, what guy are you talking about?!
Rif: That guy! Umm… he’s always messing with me, and you can tell by looking at him he’s bad, and his hair is all wound up in a headband…
Zakk: Ahh, you mean Sarge? You need something from him?
Rif: Him and his friend took something really important… so…
Zakk: They took something? I knew they’d bugged you before, but that’s kinda going too far…
-But because of what you did before, I heard that they got really hurt…
Rif: …
Killfith: Never mind that. Where is that trash hiding?
Zakk: I know they set up a hideout way deep inside of Deikel Mine where they go sometimes, but…
-To get there you have to go past a door, and I don’t know where it is beyond that.
Rif: Then we’ll try going through the door that leads to the heart of Deikel Mine.
Zakk: Ah! There’ve been a lot of Strays coming out of there lately, so you’ve gotta be careful…
Rif: I see. Thank you! We’ll be careful.
Zakk: Good luck…
-I mean, not that! I meant, um…
-Well, um, it’s okay.
-(leaves)
(Side Conversation)
Rif: Let’s go to the heart of Deikel Mine! I’m sure they’ll be there!
Killfith: (evilly) Heheh… The heart of the underground, huh… I couldn’t have asked for a more suitable location to deal with those fools…
Rif: O-okay, even I’m a little disturbed.
(End)
(While passing in front of the shop, Killfith stops suddenly and looks around)
Killfith: …
Rif: What happened, Killfith?
Killfith: It felt like something was watching us… Tch! Makes my insides squirm.
Rif: Watching… I hope there isn’t such a person…
-Anyway, for now let’s just pick up the pace.
(Side Conversation)
Rif: Let’s go to the heart of Deikel Mine! I’m sure they’ll be there!
Killfith: It was probably one of those guys’ associates just then. It must be that trash’s way of keeping tabs on us…
Rif: That might be true, but right now we can’t let that weigh on our minds. We just have to keep going.
Killfith: Fine with me. It doesn’t really matter what that garbage is scheming, we’ll still crush them.
(End)
(Shortly after they get through the door in Deikel Mine, Killfith stops)
Killfith: Who’s there!
Jade: Cripes, you don’t have to get so mad.
Rif: Aniki, why are you here?
Jade: It—it’s got nothing to do with you guys! It’s just, look, recently I heard there were some Strays popping up around here, so I—
Rif: …
Jade: Fine… you got me.
-I didn’t tell V.E about the cave, but it got me thinking.
-If they’d resort to blackmail, you never know what kind of tricks they could have up their sleeves.
-And since I’m a pretty reliable guy in a tight spot, I figured if I just tagged along…
Rif: Thank you, Aniki.
Jade: Rif…
Rif: But, I want to settle this problem with them by myself.
-That’s why…
Jade: All right. I won’t come out at the last moment.
Rif: Thank you, Aniki.
Jade: You don’t have to thank me. And didn’t I tell you to stop calling me Aniki?
Rif: Heehee.
(Jade leaves)
(Side Conversation)
Rif: To the heart of Deikel Mine! That’s where they’ll be!
Killfith: Tch… that man makes no sense…
Rif: You mean about Aniki following us? You don’t have to talk about him like that, though. He was just worried about us.
Killfith: ‘Us?’ Don’t be an idiot! You’re the only one he was worried about.
Rif: Ah, I see. Since I’m with Killfith, he wondered if I would be safe.
Killfith: Wait… why do you say that?
(End)
