VOICE #1: So like I was sayin, the thief made off with a priceless treasure from that noble's mansion.
VOICE #2: I know, I know. Then he was caught, and the loot was returned, right?
VOICE #1: No. See, that's just nobility trying ta keep things quiet. The treasure in the mansion right now's a fake.
GUARD: You're pulling my leg.
PRISONER: Hey, ya didn't hear it from me, bub. The Dark wings are goin' nuts lookin for the hideout.
GUARD: You mean the thieves guild?
Ahem! That's enough out of you. Almost meal time.
PRISONER: Hey neighbor! You're awake right? You gotta be gettin tired from keepin so quiet.
YURI: You think that little story up all by yourself, old man? You must have plenty of time on your hands.
PRISONER: Old man? Now you've gone and hurt this old man's feelings.
Besides, I didn't make up nothin. I've got eyes and ears the world over diggin up information for me.
YURI: Heh, sure you do, old man.
PRISONER: Hey, I am what I am. Go ahead and ask me something. I'll tell ya whatever ya want to know.
Wanna know about the pirate guilds sunken treasure? How bout the sorcerer who makes his home at the ends of the earth? Or wait, Ive got it
YURI: I just want to know how to get out of here.
PRISONER: Well Im not sure what yer in for, but theyll let ya out if ya keep yer trap shut for ten days.
YURI: The lower quarterll be underwater by then.
PRISONER: The lower quarter Ah yeah, I heard about that.
YURI: I wonder how theyre all doing right now.
PRISONER: Sorry, neighbor. Thats one piece of dirt I dont have.
YURI: And what am I gonna do about that damned Mordio.
PRISONER: THE Mordio? You mean to say youve got connections ta the famed mage from Aspio, the City of Scholars?
YURI: Do you know about him?
PRISONER: Oho! Want ta know, huh? Im afraid that information wont come cheap
YURI: The famed mage from Aspio, the City of scholars right? I think I got it.
PRISONER: W-wait, thats not it. Hes the uh, the head of the gourmet guild! No wait, its the un, I mean
OFFICER: Out.
PRISONER: Ah well, just when things were getting good.
OFFICER: Hurry up.
YURI: What is commandant Alexei doing here?
PRISONER: Whoa!
YURI: Just who are you anyway? What does the head of the Knights want with you?
PRISONER: Beneath the statue of the goddess
ALEXEI: What are you doing? I said hurry up.
PRISONER: All right, easy. Im coming.
YURI: I did say I was looking for a way out of here.
Yuri: Back again. Man, I was just in here last month for fighting some Knights
collecting taxes.
I guess I get free meals out of it, if you can call it food.
Damn. Cumore's made this way more complicated than it needed to be.
YURI: Would you look at that--it opened.
YURI: Ever-vigilant as usual With the way hes sleeping, itll be a while before anyone notices Im gone.
If I come back before morning theyll never be the wiser to my little jailbreak.
I think I can check on the Lower Quarter and make it back by morning.
Itd probably be good to try that statue of the goddess, too.
GUARD: Whos there!
YURI: Argh, they spotted me!
YURI: Take a load off for a while!
My rap sheet is long enough as it is. But guess I dont have much choice but to fight if they discover me.
YURI: I need to be wary of these guys on patrol.
KNIGHT: #1 Why dont we just go back?
YOUNG LADY: I cant go back now!
KNIGHT #1: This is for your own good, Miss, you know that.
KNIGHT #2: As for the incident, we assume full responsibility and will inform the lieutenant ourselves.
YOUNG LADY: How can you say that when you havent done anything to help me?
YOUNG LADY: Please, dont come any closer.
KNIGHT #1: Now, now, why dont you put that down? Youll only end up hurting yourself
YOUNG LADY: I know how to use a sword!
KNIGHT #1 :Im afraid you leave us no choice. I was hoping it wouldnt come to this
VOICE: Hey! There she is! This way!
YOUNG LADY: Please, youve got to let me go!
I have to warn Flynn!
YURI: Did she say Flynn?
KNIGHT #3: Hey!
KNIGHT #4: Aaah!
YURI: Yah!
YOUNG LADY: Flynn?! You came to help me?
W-who are you?
KNIGHT #2: Identify yourself!
YURI: Man, just when I thought I was being sneaky, things have to go to hell.
KNIGHT #1: Careful, I think hes got a blastia.
KNIGHT #2: It shouldnt be a problem if we take him together.
YURI: Man is this what knights do now?
YURI: Dont they teach these guys manners in knight school anymore?
YOUNG LADY: Hyah!
YURI: Hey! What, are you trying to kill me?
YOUNG LADY: Well you dont belong in the castle, right?
YURI: No, and Ill take it as a compliment that you can tell that by looking at me.
VOICE: Yuri Lowell! Where are yooou?
ADECOR: You foul fugitive! I say, we know youre trying to make your escape.
YURI: Oh please, not them again. Guess theres no point in going back to the prison cell now.
VOICE: Louder, fools! Say it like you mean it!
BOCCOS: Lieutenant Leblanc, your voice is TOO loud. My ears
YOUNG LADY: Yuri Lowell? Youre one of Flynns friends, arent you?
YURI: Yeah. Why?
YOUNG LADY: And you used to belong to the Imperial Knights?
YURI: Just for three short months.
You hear that from Flynn?
YOUNG LADY: Yes.
YURI: Huh. Guess he managed to find someone at the castle he could talk to after all.
YOUNG LADY: Yuri! I need to talk to Flynn!
YURI: Hold on just a second. Who are you supposed to be, anyway?
I can tell you know Flynn, but why are you being chased by the Knights?
LEBLANCS VOICE: Over here!
YURI: Listen, I want to hear the whole story, but we cant really afford to stand around and chat.
First things first, lets get to Flynns place. Want me to lead the way?
YOUNG LADY: Ah, yes!
YURI: Lets go.
YURI: Mmm? Something smells tasty.
YOUNG LADY: Oh, youre right. What could it be?
YURI: Oh yeah, isnt the knights dining hall around here?
YOUNG LADY: Yeah, it was around here
YURI: This is Flynns room.
YURI: Hes really keeping this place cleaned up
Flynn must be off gallivanting around somewhere.
YOUNG LADY: Then That means Im too late.
YURI: So, what sort of wickedness did you do anyway?
YOUNG LADY: Me? I havent done anything wrong.
YURI: And yet a bunch of knights were chasing you around the castle. Yeah, that makes sense.
YOUNG LADY: Um, you see Yuri!
YURI: Whoa What is it?
YOUNG LADY: I cant be specific, but Flynn is in terrible danger!
Ive got to go and warn him.
YURI: So go if you want to go. Whats wrong with that?
YOUNG LADY: I wish I knew
YURI: Listen, Ive got something Ive gotta take care of right away, too.
As soon as things quiet down outside, I want to get back to the lower quarter.
YOUNG LADY: In that case, would you take me with you? Please?
Other than Flynn, theres no one I can depend on.
Will you at least help me get out of the castle?
Please, Im begging you.
YURI: Okay I can see youre serious, but why dont you tell me your name first.
YOUNG LADY: Aaah!
MERCENARY: Prepare to fall victim to my blade
YURI: Havent you ever heard of knocking?
ZAGI: I am Zagi The man who will end your life. Now die, Flynn Scifo!
ZAGI: Ahh, now I feel it.
YURI: You feel what? Im not feeling anything over here.
ZAGI: Yes, so full of confidence.
Ah hah hah!
Thats it! Thats it! Now I feel truly alive!
YURI: Whats with him all of a sudden?
ZAGI: Mwa hah hah hah!!
YOUNG LADY: Yuri, let me help you!
YURI: Stay away!
YOUNG LADY: But--!
ZAGI: Bring it! The more the merrier!
YURI: If things get out of hand, run for it.
YOUNG LADY: I will.
ZAGI: Oh, dont give up so soon. I havent had a fight like this in years!
YURI: Do I look like Flynn to you?
YOUNG LADY: Not in the least.
YURI: Youve got the wrong guy. Arent you supposed to know this stuff?
YOUNG LADY: Hes not Flynn!
ZAGI: Details, details. Bring it!
YURI: This guys nuts. Flynn sure has made some interesting enemies.
RED-EYED MAN: Zagi, were leaving. The Knights are onto us.
RED-EYED MAN: How dare you!
ZAGI: Hah hah hah! Mind your own business! Im just getting to the best part!
RED-EYED MAN: Hurry, before the Knights get here. Or would you rather have your fun end today?
YURI: We should be getting a move on, too.
YURI: Well just go pay a visit to the goddess and be on our way.
YOUNG LADY: Yuri, um.
YURI: Yeah, I know. Well stick together until were out of the castle.
YOUNG LADY: Oh. Right. But I was going to say, my name is Estellise.
YURI: Well then, Estellise, Lets get moving.
ESTELLISE: Wait, we cant just leave the door like that
YURI: I really dont think this is the time to worry about something like that.
ESTELLISE: But!
YURI: All right, all right. Just. Just give me a minute.
YURI: There, good as new. Now lets get going.
ESTELLISE: O-okay!
YURI: I wonder if this is because of those guys earlier.
It better not try to pin this on one too.
ESTELLISE: I hope no one was hurt.
YURI: Dont worry about the Knights. Theyll make sure to protect themselves.
ESTELLISE: Yes I guess so
LEBLANCS VOICE: Yuri Lowell! Where are you hiding?
YURI: That must be Leblanc. Id recognize those dulcet tones anywhere.
ESTELLISE: Do the two of you know each other?
YURI: We have a bit of a history. Come on, lets hurry.
YURI: We should do something about your clothes. Youll stick out like a sore thumb.
ESTELLISE: My room is just up ahead. I have a change of clothes there
YURI: Okay, thatll work.
ESTELLISE: This is my room. Ill go get changed, just give me a minute.
YURI: Got it. Try to be quick about it.
ESTELLISE: Just in case.
YURI: Its not like I was going to peek.
ESTELLISE: Flynn did tell me to be careful if I ever met you.
YURI: Thanks, Flynn.
ESTELLISE: There, all finished.
ESTELLISE: What? Dodo I look strange?
YURI: Its nothing, I was just thinking this doesnt suit you either.
ESTELLISE: Really?
YURI: Whats this?
ESTELLISE: A handshake. It means, nice to meet you.
YURI: All right. Lets get going.
ESTELLISE: Thanks!
Estelle: Yuri, you were a knight once, right?
Yuri: Didnt you already say you heard about me from Flynn?
Estelle: ...Well, its just...you dont seem to know your way around the castle
well...*Gas*... Are you an imposter?!
Yuri: Thats some imagination youve got. Why would I want to impersonate a
regular guy from the lower quarter?
Estelle: I-I guess youre right...
Yuri: Come on, lets go before were caught by the castle guards.
Yuri: I just wanted to check on the lower quarter and come back. I didn't expect
the extra baggage.
Estelle: Baggage? I can take it to the castle's lost and found for you.
Yuri: You're the one person I couldn't really ask to take care of it.
Estelle: Huh?
Yuri: ...Nevermind. I'm good.
Estelle: Okay. Let me know if you change your mind.
Yuri: Guess she's the textbook "little, naive noble." But why were those Knights
chasing her...?
Estelle: Are there many people outside the castle like that man Zagi we met
earlier?
Yuri: Nah, he's one of a kind. It's pretty hard to find anyone that nuts.
Estelle: I see. Well, that's a relief. I don't know what I'd do if everyone
behaved like that...
Yuri: Yeah, life would be pretty rough if the world were full of guys like him.
YURI: This must be it.
ESTELLISE: Is there something special about this statue?
YURI: Its supposed to have some sort of secret.
ESTELLISE: It doesnt look like theres anything particularly secretive about it.
YURI: Maybe if we moved it, thered be a hidden passage or something.
ESTELLISE: You dont think
YURI: Well, we wont know unless we give it a try.
ESTELLISE: ! It really worked!
YURI: What do we have here? Looks like the old man was right
ESTELLISE: Do you think this will lead outside?
YURI: I cant guarantee it.
Well, Im going down. How about you?
ESTELLISE: Im coming too.
YURI: Thats pretty brave of you.
Who was that guy, anyway? There was something shady about him.
YURI: What is it? Did you change your mind?
ESTELLISE: No, your hand--its injured. Let me take a look at it.
YURI: Hmm?
ESTELLISE: Aaah!
YURI: Hey, Im sorry Id never seen a blastia like that. I-I wasnt thinking.
ESTELLISE: Thats really all it was?
YURI: Thats really all it was. My hand feels better Thanks.
ESTELLISE: No, its the least I could do.
