Buddy: "I think it is a mirage village."
Buddy: "A little further and you will see it below."
Me: "Maybe it is no longer there."
Buddy: "A little further and you will see it below."
Buddy: "This time the Quest will be to actually start one. That is it!"
Buddy: "A little further and you will see it below."
Buddy: "I recall I ended the conversation."

"Are you sure about this, Mayor?"
"Of course not, but what would you do? The Dragon started to demand sacrifices. People expected me to lead by example. You know that my wife volunteered... and then my daughter the next turn... Damn this. ...And this time everyone goes silent."
"..."
"They want to vote, except that no result is acceptable. Pains me to say this, but this was the next option. Next time though..."
"S-She helped a lot with monsters and overall..."
"I KNOW! But... She has been here for a good while. Arrived as a stranger. No family so far. Would you pick YOUR girl?"
"...I... No... I-"
"Enough. There will be no more sacrifices."
"H-Hero!?"
"Indeed. This is the Hero Crest."
"It is you, Hero! Thank you!! THANK YOU!!"
"...Your gratitude lies elsewhere. The neighboring village mentioned that this town has a Dragon problem. I apologize. We can only be in so many places."
"No, Hero, that is understandable. Please."
"Ishmaiyel, please untie the Lady."
"The BEST part! Sure thing, friend! ...Alrighty, Miss! No stress, okay? You are safe now!"
"...Pfff-ahahahaaaaHAHAAAA!! No no no no no!! TIGHTER!! MAKE THEM TIGHTER!!"
"Wha..."
"NnnnhaaAAA! I think I just.. krr-chrr-chrrr... Actually actually actuallyyyy..! Can you just UNDRESS me first!? Oh oh oh! Also tie a rope through my crotch REAL tight! Until the skin is blue..!"
"Ghh... What are you- We are gonna faaaall..! DAMN!"
"Can you... Can you draw markings on me first too? PLEASE!? Pfffaaa-hahahaaaa-AHAHAHAAAAA!! I should be USED before the Dragon rails me!!"
"What is going on here?"
"Nothing, Hero! I swear! She... is just like that. But... She has been extremely helpful. We just... Dammit. Incredible magical powers. Non-elemental stuff and-"
"Correction. She said Pure Astral Energy, Hero."
"...Astara?"
"Dear, if she is willing and not lying, then this is an immediate yes from me. Intriguing! I need to see that Magic. Her eyes say it too... She saw The End. Just like us. She stood there when life turned to black blood."
"Ishmaiyel?"
"Whoa-oh-oh... Suuu-uure!!"
"Ishmaiyel, he asked you for your opinion with your head. Not with your penis."
"Nhhhhiiiii! Asta-raaaaaa... Fifty fake Lady points. More than you normally earn in a month!"
"...Pfffaaa-ahahahaa-HAAHAHAHAAAA!! PENIS!! You guys are such BADASSES! Pfff-ahahahaha-ahahahaaaa!"
""...""
"Change of plans."
"Aha! I LOVE when you say that, my friend!"
"I concur. Ahahaa!"
"Ishmaiyel, you will take care of the Dragon."
"Leave it to me! Nice!"
"Good. Take the young Lady with you. You can handle it, but I also want you to see what she is capable of and if my instincts are correct. Meanwhile, Astara and I will deal with the marshland's Ashbeast."
"A-Ashbeast!? Mayor!?"
"I had no idea, frankly speaking."
"Yes, that makes sense. The monster is kept in check by the Dragon. Soon, it will have no reason to hide."
"...Thank you, Hero. I know myself that certain decisions are hard to make. We are grateful, but you cannot be everywhere. We must not ever start to rely on you."
"It is settled then. Any objections?"
"None, Dear."
"DAAAAATE!! DRAGON SLAYING date!! Pffff-ahahahaaaa!! YES!!"
"...Can I take my vote back?"
"ISH-maiyel, that is not how this works."
"I asked him, not you."
"I am his spokesperson."
"ASTA-ra, that is not how this works."
"Both of you. Enough. You cannot go back on your word, and no speaking for others."
""Yes, Dear.""
"Pfff-ahahahaaa!! THIS IS AWESOME!! Krr-chrr-chrr..! I want to JOIN the party too!! DAAATE! Let's go! Go go go go! Ishie Smishie! ...Pfff-ahahahaaaaa! My body is ready, my pussy is wet, we are going steady, and the Dragon is DEAD! Krr-chrr-chrr... Ahahaaa!"
"Nice knowing you, folks. I think we are doing the Dragon a favor."
"Speaking of Dragons... Dear, the Dragonlord."
"Yes. We shall let him know as soon as possible that this one went completely rogue."
"Okay! Okaaay..! SAA, KAKATTE KINA! ...Oh! Can I go in my village clothes? PLEASE? Ish? I will upgrade once we are done! That will be so cooool!!"
"...Right... Goodbye, everyone."
"YES!! Pfaaa-ahahahaaaaa! KYAAAA-"
"Dear..."
"-AHAHAHAHAAAAA-"
"A change of conversation partner will do him good. Mm-hm-hm-hm."
"-HAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!"
"...What?"

"Bro, you really do need to get inside every hole in Nemora, huh... Gheh. If I ever do anything grand like this again, I am skipping EVERY cave there is to compensate!"
"LAVA! Grrhr... As long as there is NO LAVA... NO LAVA... I am okay with it myself!"
"Gahahaa! Sister, we should just publish a guide to Nemoran caves! It is not like anyone explored them thoroughly before! I do not know! ...Do you sense it here too, Bro?"
"Yes, same reason as before. I apologize. If I knew exactly what cave, I would aim there directly, but... so far sensing ex-Dragons is my only clue. It became complicated when I could not find anything in the destroyed mansion."
"What did you do to them anyway? Did you like bang all of their Princesses or something? Gheheh."
"...The Dragonlord decided to call on all the Dragon clans, and they decided to attack. Maybe he was really insane as Ishmaiyel and Astara said, but when I fought him alone... that did not seem to be the case. Scared. Paranoid."
""...""
"Astara and Ishmaiyel argued over how we should proceed. What we should protect. For the first time, it was the kind of argument when I could not decide. Both were right. And both meant the best for everyone. In the end, I went alone to face the Dragonlord. Yet again, another crisis ended. Yet again, not without costs. I wonder... If I did the right thing."
"Um... It is said that His Holy Excellency saved and restructured our civilization before an impending doom. He exposed the First Heretic... before he could use our weakened state. He gave everything its form. He founded us. ...But... there is obviously history before him as well. S-Sure... we just do not know anything about it... ...GRAAAAH!! WHY ME!?"
"Mmm-hm-hm-hm. I see. Do not worry about it. I happened to know those people."
"NnnhAAAAAA!! EQUIPPED TO FIGHT DRAGONS!! ...GAAAAAH!!"
"Gahahahaa! The last person you ever expected to eventually make sense, right? ...Ey ey..."
"She DID fight there too, did she not!? DAMMIT! ...I KNOW EXACTLY what I would tell her now. Haaa... SUCKS! SUCKS!!"
"...Yes, indeed, she did fight Dragons, but worry not. We both can tell that some things... never change. Mm-hm-hm-hm. ...I do not know how she can still be alive, but... she would understand you. Both Astara and Ishmaiyel valued her greatly."
"...Why meeee... Aaahaha..."
"The Dragons were given a chance. Many did not listen... so many survivors were sealed."
"I heard a few times that monsters referred to as ex-Dragons are exactly that. ...Bro, you did mention it with the Lava Shark, so there is another one in this cave then."
"DIMWIT! DO NOT SUMMON ANY LAVA!!"
"Gheh. If you ask me, it is gonna get a LOT more annoying than that! Eventually..! Lylylyyyyy!! ...Nuuuu..."
"S-STOP IT, DIMWIT! Nhhgh... SHUT UP!"
"I sense one. We shall see."
""Ghh...""
"Guys, we dealt with similar ones. That reaction time is better spent training properly. There are unfortunate gaps."
""SIR!!""
"Uh-huh..."
"...I get ya, Bro. You were told to deal with it. If you ask me, we cannot deal with Demons. Eventually, everyone is going to get a weapon, some Magic, and stand in front of a Demon who pats you on the back first. Gahahaa! BUT! I will be sitting in a sewer somewhere, playing cards with a Ratman and munching on apples. Gheh! ...People do not even KNOW what is under their cities! One time a group of Ratmen showed me an entire Necropolis full of the Undead! Gahahaa..! Imagine the treasure still buried there! ...Sister, there has GOT TO BE something under the tower as well!"
"...Uuuuh... Yeah. Kinda? There is a massive empty room deep underground."
"...Really? That is it? ...GAHAHAHAAHAAAA! Sounds like you guys! Mm!"
"DIMWIT! WE DO NOT KNOW!! ...And it negates all Magic."
"..."
"I expected better!"
"SHUSH!! Th-There is also a Portal someplace underground, but I-I was not allowed to go there!!"
"..."
"GrrrrrrHRRRRR..! DAAAAAMMIITTT!! ...Quint! Archmagus Quiiiiint!! Nnh..!"
"...Ah. Stuck in a wall again? ...Very impressive timing, Your Excellency! I was about to go out anyway! I have to refund this pen. They sold it saying it is for Rockturtle ink, but in reality it is for Rocktortoise ink. I needed something I could use comfortably in plus twenty four degrees, not minus twenty four degrees. Alas. Mistakes happen."
"...Nhrh... Yes, Quint, but we should REFUND the damn door! What happened to my door!? ...HrrrhnnnnNNN..!"
"Your Excellency, your door has always been just past the corner by the stairwell. In addition, we truly should not make more doors. Their load-bearing might already be an issue in the entire tower. Same with windows."
"ARCHMAGUS QUINT!!"
"All I am saying is that you are not a Lizardfolk living in a cave, Your Excellency. Shamanism in a cave would have helped, but even the Lizardfolk suffered major structural collapse at one point. See Seggesmund and the Ruins of Seggs. Man-made structures--"
"KONONO MAHA HASHAHA KASHARA DER KASSAM!! Archmagus!!"
"Rules of Displacement in the first... place, Your Excellency. However, I do agree that they should all just be called guidelines. It is useful Magic at times!"
"Dammit! Why do we either know USELESS Magic, or CONVENIENT Magic we cannot use!? ...Nnnhaaa... This is a kindergarten!"
"I can only agree."
"Yes, well, now... GO! I cannot do anything like this!! Goddess!!"
"Your Excellency, the store I found may just start to depend on your mishaps! Ahahhaa..! Shamans would say that we found the good in a bad situation!"
"Archmagus..! GO!!"
"Certainly. Should I bring you anything? Anything else, I mean?"
"DAMMIT! MOVE or I am TELEPORTING you!"
"I will be right back then, Your Excellency. Just keep maintaining it. Etcetera."
"...Quint... Are there any of Mya's pets that negate Magic?"
"Mmm... I am aware of a few, but the range and effect are particularly low."
"...We had an escaped pet here and there... correct?"
"Mmm... It does happen from time to time, yes."
""...""
"At once, Your Excellency. Hopefully even faster than that!"
"...DAMN DAMMIT! DAMMIT DAAAMMIT! ...DAMMITY DAMN DAMN DAAAAMN..! KOSSERA NASSAJIB TOKO!!"
