Rii and Kii, Kii and Rii. It's always been the two of us. And now it's been a year since it wasn't anymore.
It's not fair. Why did I get to live? Kii should be the one alive!
...Nonono, both of us should be alive. Rii and Kii, Kii and Rii...
...Well, Jenare's little crystal thing sure came in handy. I mean, geez, whew! I thought I was a goner there for sure!
See, it started out well enough. We went to Qufim Island to get the Night Flowers and all. There were mobs of leeches, but we took care of them like that~! And one of them had a shiny shiny red stone in its stomach that Jenare let me keep. Heehee, I wonder what is is. It's really pretty!
Anyway, anyway! We found the flowers, and... actually, we found jerkface there, too. Eh, I guess he was a bit less of a jerk now, anyway.
We couldn't really get the flowers, though. We needed to dig down pretty deep for them, and we didn't even have anything to do it with. But then his chocobo showed up. The one he mistreated and ditched before! It helped, and sorta turned him nicer, too.
Everything was great, except a huge, scary monster showed up before we even left, and, uh, it was all sorts of not good. I can't believe how weak we were. We couldn't do anything at all...! Even after that dragon... I guess it was just a warning after all.
Anyway, we... we managed to activate that warp connected to the crystal and leave before we died. I'm definitely gonna go remember my crystal ritual.
The guy wasn't there when we visited to see how his son was doing, but the kid was there, so I guess he's fine now. He gave us a reward his father left, too, some money and an old beast whistle.
When we talked to Brutus, the stable manager, he taught us to be beastmasters.
Should be interesting~!
People seem to be asking us to do more and more things these days. Actually, even since we fought that scary dragon, wasn't it? Maybe we got a little better-known from it.
Well, it's probably a good thing. And it's not like they're not generous about rewarding us, either.
First, there was that... that jerk from before, the one who was really mean to his chocobo. He said his son was sick and needed some special flower that grows on Qufim Island. Night Flowers...?
Anyway, I don't really wanna help a stupid bum like him, but like the kids in the stable said, it's really not his son's fault... Can't blame the kid for the way his father acts. Otherwise, mother's really gonna get me killed one of these days.
Mm, I guess the second thing isn't exactly a "request"? It's pretty weird. We were in Jeuno again, and walked past the airship ports, and, well, there's one for Kazham. I mean, I knew it was there, but I never really thought about it because there's no way we'd be able to afford an airship pass, but they seem to have some kind of adventurer special right now. Instead of paying waaaaay-too-much, they want us to get them keys for treasure chests from Giddeus, Fort Ghelsba, and the Palborough Mines. Dunno what they want those for, but I bet it's a whole lot cheaper than buying the pass! Maybe they just really want treasure.
Right, so, Qufim Island... Jenare and I are going there first. I mean, it's a bit more pressing than just wanting to visit Kazham. But first, there was that weird crystal thing...
See, Jenare found out that those big, pretty crystals we've seen around aren't just for decoration. You can do some ritual to bind your life force to a crystal, and then... warp there when your life's in danger? Something like that. I wasn't really paying attention.
Jenare's so boring. He just kinda waved his hands a bit or something. My crystal ritual was much cooler.
...Except we have to repeat the same thing every time? I mean, geez, I'd be lucky if I even remembered half of what I did! He could have said so earlier! Okay, so he probably did say so earlier and I just didn't hear. So what!
Guess I'll just have to remember. I told him I knew that already, after all.
That elvaan girl, Ellanore.
I met her again.
I was gonna go visit San d'Oria, but I ran into her in La Theine Plateau and figured I should go help. I mean, I guess I sorta know her, and it's not like I was in a hurry anyway.
She's kinda different from Jenare. Not that I expected all elvaan to be the same. I mean, I know they're not all the same! She's even quieter than Jenare. But she's nice. Not as stuffy, either.
It's funny how I keep meeting people because of him. Elvaan people. And Ellanore doesn't even actually have anything to do with him! Sheesh, at this rate, all my friends will be double my size or half my size.
I... also ended up telling her about what happened. Kii and Jenare and everything. I dunno, I guess it felt kinda nice to let someone know.
She said to tell Jenare...
I know that. I know, but... But...!
