Oedo Christmas Episode 3 Part 2 (Abridged)

Once upon a time, many moons ago, Gouryou actually got with a woman.
Flashback!
Gouryou: (beats up nameless mobs) How come so many weaklings can't tell they're outmatched? I mean I hide my power levels all the time but still. Okay babe, run along now before they bug you again. Wait, you have me to guard you? Ooh, am I being hit on by a girl~?
This is the part where Gouryou gets slapped. But not this time!
Gouryou: ...wait, really? You know I'm dirt poor, right?
Gouryou (narrating): She smiled at me and my heart went doki-doki! And that's how I met my wife Mao Er Jie.

Later
Gouryou: Wow you cook good. Why pick me anyway? I got strong yin, but there's plenty of strong yao guai out there.
Gouryou (narrating): Er Jie would tell me I'm too hard on myself and points out my good side. Like how nice I am.
Gouryou: ...that's cuz you don't know what I was like before. I fell pretty hard from being an elite and now I'm some pig.
Gouryou (narrating): Er Jie called me irreplaceable. My life's been a mess since my fall, but things are different this time.
Gouryou: Fiiiine you win. No one in heaven's like you.
Gouryou (narrating): And then we got married. She never asked about my past. It was a happy married life! ...but then the world turned out to be a huge dick about it!
Gouryou: Noooo!
Gouryou (narrating): Er Jie got super sick!
Gouryou: You wouldn't leave me for real, right?
Gouryou (narrating): Er Jie said she was happy we were together in one of the few times she was awake.
Gouryou: nO
Present
Gouryou: (bolts upright) DON'T LEAVE ME
MC: Whoa what!?

Gouryou: (hugs MC) ...you're okay. Good.
MC: OOF / You got stabbed! / Thanks
---
(A) Gouryou: Tee hee, did you nurse me? Nice.
(BC) Gouryou: Ow. Oh well, I did the manly thing by saving a babe.
---
Gouryou: Sooo where are we?
Tadatomo: I wish I got nursed by my l--I MEAN you're better now, so get out so the shogun can look after me!
Gyoubu: (grabs Tadatomo) The withdrawal symptoms are real with this one.
Tadatomo: DON'T YOU STOP ME GYOUBU
MC: I'll pay attention to you later mkay / welp / quiet!
Gouryou: Who ARE you guys?
Gyoubu: Oops. I'm Inugami Gyoubu. This is Shogun MC's head oniwabanshu Inuyama Dousetsu Tadatomo.
MC: welp

Gyoubu: Shogun, it's time for your lessons.
Tadatomo: And then we have pet dojo training!
Gyoubu: And so much paperwork you let sit.
MC: HELP
Gouryou: Uh, is this MC's room? What do I do?
Gyoubu: ...eh, you can be MC's servant.
Tadatomo: But they have ME!
Gyoubu: You're already their head ninja guard.
Tadatomo: ...fine. You better work your ass off for milord, new guy!
Gyoubu: Don't be late, MC.
Gyoubu and Tadatomo leave.
Gouryou: ...welp, it's not all bad if we can't get back to Tokyo.
MC: ...we're going back. / You ARE going to listen to me, right?
---
(A) Gouryou: Yeah. Just in case, I mean.
(BC) Gouryou: Ooh you gonna give me the sexy kinda orders?
---
Gouryou: Good luck with the paperwork.

Later
Gyoubu: ...huh, I thought you were skipping out of work before. Did you actually go outside to learn more?
MC: Sorta? / I'm a genius / (thank your school teachers)
Gyoubu: You'll be caught up in no time then. I'm glad you're safe, since it was a shock when you put out that law about love for fluffy fur.
MC: wait what / I want a prize for working hard!
---
(C) Gyoubu: Haha, whatever you want later.
---
Gyoubu: Okay time to call it a day here. Tadatomo will be waiting for you.

Later
Tadatomo: When did you get so good at the sword? It's like you're someone else now.
MC: (Because I am) / (He fights just like the Tadatomo I know) / You have time to talk in a fight?
Tadatomo: I'm so glad we can spar like this! It was so hard having to hold ba--I mean, nothing.
MC: (huh) / (Maybe I should have gone easier) / Give me something for doing good!
---
(AB) Tadatomo: No holding back!
(C) Tadatomo: Y-yes of course! But please let us continue this sparring for now!
---
Later again
MC: Oof, being shogun is hard.
Bath time! Also Gouryou is here with pre-dinner drinks.
Gouryou: Heyo. Want me to wash your back?
MC: Nah, you stay outside the water. / (threaten him) / Get in
---
(A) Gouryou: Oh okay.
(B) Gouryou: Kidding. Call me if you need anything.
(C) Gouryou: Oh yeah I will. Being a shogun's servant ain't all that bad!
---
Gouryou: Night's still young!

After dinner
Gouryou: Hey MC, time for bed huh? I'm gonna be guarding you. As your servant I'll do whatever you tell me to~.
MC: Stay in the next room over / counting on you if anything happens / come here
---
(AB) Gouryou: 'kay. Go to bed, there are actually people coming after you you know.
(C) Gouryou: Ooh, here I come~!
Gouryou almost pushes MC over but stops.
Gouryou: You could stand to be a little more on guard
MC: You were never gonna do it though.
Gouryou: Heh, you talk like you know me. But this reminds me of old times so thanks. Go to bed already.
---
And so nothing happens. Except of course not. Here's the rest of the party!
Turing: Good evening love, we're here to help. Good job not dying back there.
Horus: Ruling suits you, Uncle! Okay, let's get out of here!
Gouryou: Hey guys, time to go eh?
Turing: Wow you got used to this life quick. Had a high life you never told us about?
Otter: Hurry up and get ready to go!

Later
Gouryou: You guys got here fast.
Ulaanbaatar: Horus kept bitching to us to hurry up.
Otter: I'm glad you two are okay! Also wow, MC is a shogun?
Gouryou: I was stabbed!
Horus casts Heal on Gouryou!
Gouryou: Thank you for looking after Uncle.
Horus's left eye and cane were originally believed to have healing magic.
Gouryou: I did it for me, but thanks anyways.
Horus: Please keep tanking for Uncle. If you die, I'll take you on as a servant.
Otter: Me too then! I don't mind being a mummy!
Gouryou: Hell no! I'm not working for forever!

Turing: On another note, I truly am glad you two are okay. The town's in a right tizzy, what with all the racial blood feuds popping up. The youkai are after you, MC.
In this world, there are two kinds of youkai. Those who chose to keep themselves secret and those who want to live out and proud. The former want to live among humanity without revealing their youkainess. The latter want to bump MC off to make a new world order.
MC: Why can't we just all get along? Can't I just make an order for that?
Turing: Reminder love, we're trying to avoid using our artifacts as much as possible.
Otter: But people are fighting on the streets!
Turing: We're outsiders. Are you planning on staying here? Saving someone could make someone else die. You okay with being responsible for that?
Otter: B-but...
BOOM
Ulaanbaatar: Well shit.

Edo is on fire!
Turing: ...is this the Great Fire of Meireki?
Gouryou: Uh, is that bad?
Turing: This might be that one fire that killed a lot of people in Edo.
Giant quake!
Horus: What now!? Uncle, get behind me!
Some metal ball is flying towards the castle!
Horus: Otter!
Otter: Got it!
Otter uses his artifact to cast Shrink on the cannonball!

Otter: Okay we're good! ...ish. What now tho?
Ulaanbaatar: Yeah, do we just let that fire burn?
Turing: The Trolley Problem, eh? Well... we're from present day Tokyo so everyone here is dead to us anyways and trying to interfere could make it worse. Then again, we could still help keep casualties down if we risk dying ourselves. What do you think, MC?
MC: uhhhh / I have to help them / I want to go back to Tokyo
(A) Turing: This may be harsh, but not doing anything can be the same as abandoning the people. But I'll respect your decision since we're still people.
(B) Horus: ...how naive, but then again you ceded your victor's seat to me. Okay, I'll help you Uncle.
Otter: Wait, really!? Even if we can't go back?
(C) Turing: It's not like we'll die if we can't go back, but everyone back in Tokyo might as well think we're dead. Kind of sad...

Gouryou: ...hey, you guys mind if I start talking about my backstory now?
Flashback!
Gouryou: What do you MEAN Er Jie dying was her own fault!?
A bodhisattva or someone high up from Heaven came to tell Gouryou that Er Jie died of past life karma when he asked why she went out like she did.
Gouryou: My wife got fridged for something that wasn't something she even did!? Why!?
Bodhisattva says such is fate. Speaking of, Gouryou is fated to go with the priest Sanzou, otherwise known as Xuanzang, no matter how many reincarnations it took.
Gouryou: What? ...you can't come back to life since you aren't a buddha, right?
Gouryou attacks Bodhisattva! It never even got through...and that's how Gouryou came to Tokyo.
End of Episode

Oedo Christmas Episode 3 Part 1 (Abridged)

No one can figure out how to get back to Tokyo, so the party is starting to adapt to living in Edo.
Otter: Take that!
Otter scales fish!
Otter: Otter special edomae sushi, order up!
Otter gives MC some sushi that's 3x bigger than Tokyo sushi.
MC: omg / nice! / I see you stopped the fishmonger schtick
Otter: Selling sushi makes better money! Have some, it's good!
MC: You gave up, huh / one order of petting, Boss!
(AB) Otter: No, but I can't think of anything else...
(C) Otter: Okay, while no one else is here! ...aww, I miss Tokyo. Think Nobumichi is worried about us?

Otter: Why'd I have to fall down the well!? I wanna have a Christmas party but that's anachronistic here, waah! ...oh yeah, Ulaanbaatar and Ringring came by yesterday. Ulaan's actually cool when he does real work.
MC: Yeah / he's gonna steal your customers / he came to watch one of our kabuki shows the other day
---
(A) Otter: Heheh, I like how he is slacking off too.
(B) Otter: OH NO MY POPULARITY
---
Otter: Horus came by too. He bragged about getting a big arrest. Always meant to be a policeman, huh? Kinda glad, kinda sad about how he's doing.
MC: Wow! / what do you mean, kinda? / he keeps coming to watch me every day
(B) Otter: He has Gouryou instead of me here. I wish that were me...don't tell them that.
(C) Otter: You know how he is around you~

Otter: How is everyone in the party so awesome at being time travel isekai'd!? HAX! I only have my kyute fur...
MC: it's kinda cute how you believe in that / wait what about me
---
(C) Otter: Well SOMEBODY has to be on my side!
---
Otter: I'm glad you're here while we wait for whatever. Come again, I'll be even better!
MC: Okay! / Boss, fluff! / I'll come petting again!
(AC) Otter: Cool! See ya!
(B) Otter: Okay!

Later
Otter: I'm back, Boss!
Hmm, something happening in Gorozaemon's manor tonight.
Red: Boss I can't stands no more!
Purple: Yeah! They killed blood who was going out with that totally a human Koun!
The failed escape is turning into a powder keg!
Otter: Oh no, what do we do Boss!?
Gorozaemon: Welp, this ain't gonna just blow over. A direct approach would be stupid, so...Sandayu!
Sandayu: Ayo, what crazy shit are you puttin' me up to now?
Gorozaemon: Give the underlings the blood they want by killing that one human so they won't start a bloodbath themselves.
Sandayu disappears.

Blue: Boss, let us go too!
Gorozaemon: No blockhead, humans outnumber us and you aren't THAT strong.
Green: But we big and strong! Also we have new strong friend!
Gorozaemon: What? Who?
Green: Look!
Gouryou: ...uh, hi?
Otter: (WHAT)
Green: He, youkai Inosasaou, taught us Military Tactics! He help us win!
Gorozaemon: Well if he did, then I guess??? Hey wait, where'd he go?

Later
Otter chibified Gouryou and ran out with him.
Otter: Since when were you a youkai!?
Gouryou: I dunno! They just called me that and I played along because that seemed safer! I mean, story goes that Inosasaou's a youkai that was a monk cursed by a pig and hey that sounds familiar. It was kinda nice how they looked up to me.
Otter starts shaking Gouryou.
Gouryou: STOP NO SHAKE BABY
Otter: I coulda given you that attention then! Why'd you make a race war more likely!?
Gouryou: I always was the type to trip when people compliment me, sorry. My guildmaster says that a lot.
Otter: ...I guess this all was gonna happen anyways.
Gouryou: Welp, spilt milk and all that. How about we go back and have a meeting with everyone?
Otter: Shut up, pot!

Later
Who ordered a random kabuki play~?
Oniwaka: Lord Yoshitsune, we got ghosts with beef against you and your family!
MC: Follow my lead!
Oniwaka: I was trying to tell you to stay back, but I guess that's just how you roll.
Fight fight fight!
Oniwaka: Life's a mess, but it's cool if it's with you!
Curtain time!
Goemon: Cliffhanger time! Come back next show!

Later
Goemon: Whoa, we made bank today! It's cool how you two synch up so well so fast!
Oniwaka: W-whatever. Weird how good we work together.
MC: Keep it coming / Am I a genius? / I'm used to working with you
Goemon: Well whatever works! My treat tonight!
Suddenly onis show up!
Goemon: What?
Oni A: Go away, we're here for them.
MC: Me!? / wrong person / what'd I do?
Goemon: No can do. That's my star.
Oniwaka: MC, run on our signal and don't look back.
MC: No!
Oniwaka: You have to go before more hitmen show up. Go, for our sakes and yours.
Oni B: Race traitors!
Oniwaka: NOW
MC: (runs)
Goemon and Oniwaka smile wryly.
Goemon: I always knew this was coming.
Oniwaka: Our fault for not saying anything after figuring out MC's deal. Anyways, we gotta live. We're supposed to be the best kabuki troupe ever, right?
Goemon: Yep. Behold, for I am Shukaku!

Meanwhile
The shogunate is under attack! And Horus since he's working for them.
Horus: Snow? Cold night.
Oni A: Hold still so I can kill you quick!
Horus: Is this it? You think you have enough people to win against me?
Oni A: We have Inosasaou's tricks to use!
Horus: What? No, it's probably a mistake on my end. (Hmm. I can immediately win if I use my artifact, but should I in this time?)
Dramatic arrival!
Otter: Hi guys, that's my boss there.
Ninja B: Move aside or die with him!
Otter: Bold of you to think you can win.
Horus/Otter AR!
Otter: Boss Horus I am here to help! Miss me?
Horus: I'm fine, but good of you to come running so fast.
Otter: Come at me bros!
Ninja B: Get them!
Horus: Otter, you can handle this so I don't have to pull my artifact, right?
Otter: I got this!
BATTLE START (more happens after)

Ninja B: GET THEM
Youkai used Shuriken Toss! The shuriken poof into smoke! It wasn't very effective...
Ninja B: Otter sorcery!?!?!?
Otter: My sword shrinks anything it touches! Your throwing star is lego sized now.
Horus and Otter KO a bunch of youkai!
Otter: Easy peasy!
Horus: Stop getting ahead of yourself and hurry on.
Otter: Uh, where to?
Horus: To Uncle! Bad feelings!

Elsewhere
MC: THEY'RE STILL CHASING ME
MC is running through Edo!
Green: DIE
MC: Why's everyone after me!? Is my role--
???: MC, over here!
Someone pulls MC into some house!
Gouryou: Stay here for now. Horus and whoever should be coming to help soon.
MC: I was so scared! / You know something? / Thanks, love you!
---
(AC) Gouryou: Ooh, side benefits...wait
---
Gouryou: So the youkai are rebelling now and going after shogunate VIPs. The ones after you are--
Some Oni: Smell human? Smell good!
Gouryou: GET DOWN
Some Oni bashes the house down! Gouryou covers for MC!
Some Oni: Traitor! You die too, Inosasaou!
MC: What!?

Somewhere Else
Goemon: Damn, you're actually in this stupid thing?
Goemon is pretty beat up...
Sandayu: Yeah I side with stupid people more than people think I do. Anyways, where's that shogun MC?
Goemon: I'll never tell~
Sandayu: Youkai come from human fears, so humans and youkai don't mix well. Having to split sucks.
Broken House
Gouryou: Damn, you got a big part here in Edo. Like, shogun big. Went missing, had a body double take their place. A super youkai spy said so, so it must be true.
MC: The youkai are trying to do a political assassination!?
Some Oni: Yep. Now die!
Gouryou: I got him! Go run for Horus!
Some Oni: Too late!

Ninjas rush MC!
Gouryou: Body Block! OOF! Blood...
MC: OH NO
Gouryou: Still okay. Don't look like that, you'll waste your good looks.
The ninjas keep attacking! Gouryou can't really swing his artifact well...
Ninja: You die too then!
MC: NOOOO (swings sword)
Someone knocks the ninjas out first!
Tadatomo: Stop.
Gyoubu: You ever think about living a slower life, Milord?
Tadatomo: I apologize for being late, my lord!
Gyoubu: Let's go. You're the only one who can stop this, Milord.
End of Episode part

Live A Hero Aqua Vacation Thermae Panic Episode 2 (Abridged)

Alphecca: Wow, this place is gorgeous!
Pretty waters, beautiful trees. Alphecca enjoys the vibes.
Alphecca: So different from my kingdom. Isn't this exciting!?
MC: Pretty!
Alphecca: Yes! I see a tourist-based planet must have lots of nature. How would I go about setting up my lands for tourism...?
Obsidius: Aren't we here so you could stop thinking about your kingdom?
Alphecca: Oh, right! Taking time off is hard.
MC: I know that feel... / Let's look around!
(AB) Obsidius: Same! Lots of academics I know do what they love for a living.

Obsidius: Let's enjoy Aques, okay?
Alphecca: Indeed. I'll do my best in my own way.
Obsidius: You'll get used to it. Have you left your planet before?
Alphecca: Yes, lots of times for work...
Alphecca seems to be remembering something.
Alphecca: Most of it was courtesy calling. I've even been to Japan, but for work things all scheduled beforehand. I couldn't take my time to look around, sadly.
MC: Oh...
Obsidius: Yeah...welp, let's enjoy the hell out of this trip then! Check out all the things! (throws arm around Alphecca's shoulders) I already looked into this place for personal reasons, so I can just kinda sorta guide you around a little.
Alphecca: Wonderful! I'm so excited!

Alphecca: Where does the town's water come from anyway?
Obsidius: Exposition time! It's all fresh water! The ocean's like 100 km downstream the nearest river and the nearby water is affected by the landscape. Know how water collects underground?
MC: Uh, something something underground layer / Nope!
---
(C) Obsidius: Ha! I like your honesty!
---
Obsidius: Underground aquifers just like on Earth and Suseft! Hard layers underground that rain water collects on top of. And the land around here is really tough.
MC: Ooh, so that's why there's so much water / what
(BC) Obsidius: Oops, getting into shop talk there. Hang on, I'm almost done.

Alphecca: How is that relevant?
Obsidius: Remember how I said water collects underground over hard rock layers? Around here, those layers aren't that deep so it stays near the surface. Low risk of flooding around here, by the way.
Alphecca: Ohh. (nods)
Obsidius: I went on a bit there, sorry about that. Think it helps with sightseeing?
Alphecca: Yes, thank you! How fascinating! (looks around) Look at how different everything is compared to my homeland! How fun it is to experience it firsthand! Let us see everything, you two!
Obsidius: Awesome! You could be an awesome academic yourself!
Alphecca: Not a bad idea! Aside from the fact that I can't change jobs out of royalty, haha!
MC: I'm glad he's enjoying himself.

Obsidius: Hey Alphecca, don't wander too far away from us!
Alphecca: Oh yes, right! By the way, do you two smell something that way?
Flowery.
Obsidius: The markets are that way. I think I smell something delish! Wanna check it out?
MC: I think I'm getting hungry.
The party heads over.
Alphecca: You, stall owner. What is that delicious smell?
Stall Owner: Welcome! It's our local specialty, unseasoned grilled serpent! Delicious AND nutritious!
Alphecca: I must try it then! Order for three!
Stall Owner: Coming right up! Sightseeing? How is it so far?
Alphecca: I love it!
Stall Owner: Aww, thank you! You can sit at that table, I'll bring it when it's done.
And so the party sits down.

Stall Owner: Order up! And fruit juice on the house! Our fruit's famous because of the water. That guy sells some if you want any!
Obsidius: Cool! We'll check it out later.
The party talks over food.
MC: Ooh, nice. Haven't I had something like this before?
Alphecca: Delicious and aromatic! We don't have fish this oily back home.
Obsidius: It's good, but now I want booze.
Alphecca: Same! Maybe tonight.
Obsidius: Awesome. Say, haven't I had fish like this before?
Alphecca: You have? Huh. Stall Owner?
Stall Owner: Yes?
Alphecca: Can you show us a live serpent or whatever this is?
Stall Owner: Oh, one second.

Stall Owner brings a bucket.
Stall Owner: Here. You can touch it if you want. Slippery!
Obsidius: Oh, I get it now.
MC: A space eel? Huh.
Stall Owner: Oh. Are you from Earth?
Obsidius: Yeah. You guys know about eels?
Stall Owner: Yeah. We could never cook them right until Earth folks came to show us.
Alphecca: Cultural exchange! How interesting... (reaches for space eel)
Stall Owner: Wait!
Alphecca: Oh!
The space eel slips out of Alphecca's hand and goes into his clothes!
Alphecca: Oh no! H-help!
MC: Hang on!
Obsidius: Wait, hold still!
Alphecca: H-how!? Hahaha!
Stall Owner: That's hilarious! One sec, I'll get it.

Later
Alphecca: Still slimy.
Stall Owner: Wow, they usually aren't that lively.
Alphecca: Sorry about that. Maybe I can start paying you back by buying the bucket of space eels...?
Stall Owner: It's cool! Buy more food tomorrow then. Also check out the Space Roman baths.
Alphecca: Thank you. I promise to come again.
Obsidius: Thanks! Let's check those baths!
MC: Thank you! We'll come again!

Later
Alphecca: Sorry about that...
Obsidius: Eh, all part of the trip!
MC: It's a nice memory / so that's what face you make with a space eel in your clothes...
---
(BC) Alphecca: Could you forget that, MC...?
---
Obsidius: Okay, baths time!
Alphecca: Oh yes, there is quite a lot of water here.
Obsidius: The water's special too.
Alphecca: How so?
Obsidius: Space magic healing powers.
MC: What?

Someone walks up from behind.
???: Professor Obsidius?
Rakta: Oh, it IS you!
Obsidius: Dr. Rakta!? Why are y--uh, hi. Long time no see, I guess...
MC: Rakta!? / You know him, Obsidius?
---
(A) Rakta: MC!? Wow, what a coincidence!
(B) Obsidius: Sorta...? This is Rakta, doctor from the moon city Copernicus.
Rakta: Hello. I'm Rakta Shahryar or something. Salya? I'm also the hero Doktor R from MAHA.
---
Obsidius: I know Rakta through my university. He looks after me every year, I guess... (looks away and sweats)
Rakta: (scans Obsidius) Prof. Obsidius from Orient City University, yes? My hospital is contracted to provide medical checkups there, but every year some people skip out on it.
MC: ...did you bail, Obsidius?

Obsidius: N-noooo? Just some conveniently timed field work to do around then. Nothing wrong at all.
Alphecca: Ha! You should probably just go for your own sake, Obsidius.
Rakta: I'm glad you care about health so much! Oh excuse me, I'm a hero and doctor with MAHA.
Alphecca: I am Alphecca, tourist traveling with these fellows.
Rakta: Pleased to meet you! ...wait, that name sounds familiar. AH! Why is a royal VIP--oh wait, you must have your reasons...
MC: Yeaaaahhh...
Obsidius: Welp. What now?
Alphecca: We can fill him in if he knows who I am. Some parts are still confidential though.
Rakta: what?

One explanation later
Rakta: Oh I see!
Rakta grabs Alphecca's hands. He seems happy.
Rakta: May I assist in your relaxation vacation?
MC: wait what
Alphecca: Thank you, but aren't you busy...?
Rakta: Oh! About that. So Aques is both a famous summer vacation spot and health resort. The water has medical benefits.
Alphecca: Obsidius said as much, yes. What kind of benefits?
Rakta: Maybe I should call it a hot spring. It improves self-healing.
Alphecca: It does!?
Obsidius: Right, I didn't get that far.
Rakta: They say it's because the water has high ether concentrations, but that's still being researched. But it works and keeps the people healthy, and that's good but...there are way too few medical facilities here! Nothing for more serious illnesses and injuries!
MC: what / calm down / welp

Rakta: Oh! Excuse me. But yes, I was hired to be a doctor for the tourist season. My hospital does it all the time, I just happen to be it this year. My shift for it ended yesterday, but I'm still personally interested in the magic space water. Now I'm doing personal research at the baths.
MC: oh, that's why you're in a swimsuit / Nice swimsuit! Shiny, healthy body!
---
(A) Rakta: Indeed.
(BC) Rakta: Thank you! I work out so people can see what healthy looks like! Want to join my workout routine?
Obsidius: Aren't we here for the space baths?
Rakta: O-oh, I'm sorry for getting carried away.
---
Alphecca: Oh okay! Join us, Rakta! I've already sent a bodyguard job request to these two, but I'll send one to your agency as well.
Rakta: Thank you, Your Maj--I mean, Alpecca.
Rakta joins the party! Time to share map data.

Rakta: If you haven't visited the baths yet, then how about--
???: HELP
Party: !!
MC: Yelling!? Uh, that way?
Alphecca: Not a lot of people screaming. Charge!
Obsidius: W-wait! ...welp, there he goes.
Rakta: Let's follow him!
Later
Florist: My flowers!
The party finds some slime Monster melting the florist's flowers.
Monster: (blubs in meh) (turns towards party)
Alphecca: What!? MC!
MC: Let's go! / Rakta, the contract!
---
(B) Rakta: Right, here! (runs over to Space AirDrop the contract)
---
The party transforms!
Alphecca: Charge!
BATTLE START (more happens after)

Obsidius: Miner Charge!
Monster: (melts into the ground)
Rakta: Operation complete. Good work, everyone.
MC: Nice job guys! / whew, we made it...
---
(A) Alphecca: You too, MC. Has your command of sorcery gotten better?
---
The party checks the area and powers down.
Alphecca: The fiends are banished, florist. Are you alright?
Florist: O-oh, yes! Wow, thank you for saving me! Those Monsters destroyed my flowers!
Obsidius: Yeah, that sucks...
Rakta: At least you're okay. You are okay, right?
Florist: Mostly. They took my apron and here they...
Rakta: Hmm, a burn. Maybe I can prescribe some--
???: wait I have burn medicine that definitely works on people!

Look, it's Theoreol!
Theoreol: here you go, no payment necessary
MC: SUS
Rakta: ...thank you, but are you licensed? I have medical ethics to uphold
Theoreol: uhh...oh, a medical license from this planet? no...but I swear the medicine works. behold. (sends medical notes to Rakta's phone)
Rakta: MAHA's analytical certificate!? Let's see!
Theoreol: I'm glad I still had some I made for some other planet's crisis aid.
Rakta: Looks legit. One last test.
All good! Rakta gives Space Burn Heal to Florist.

Rakta: And done. If there's still any problems, please go to a hospital.
Florist: Thank you! I'll swing by the baths later.
Rakta: But I said the hos--actually, just take care. Anyways, thank you for the medicine. I am hero and doctor Rakta. Are you a pharmacist, strange man in yellow?
Theoreol: not quite, medicine is a side product of my research. I am Theoreol, an alchemist I guess.
MC: Alchemist? The gold makers?
Alphecca: Alchemists still exist!? We used to have alchemist researchers ourselves. Theoreol, is your planet still researching alchemy?
Theoreol: I study it, yes, but my home planet is gone now.
Alphecca: Oh... my apologies.
Theoreol: it's okay! it happened...wait how long ago was it again?
MC: that long ago? / are you that forgetful? / wouldn't you write something like that down?

Theoreol: uhh, in conveniently earth terms that was... 800 years ago?
Party: WHAT
Theoreol: predictable yet amusing! I am quite different from what you define as a person. I am a homunculus, an artificial being.
Obsidius: O-oh. Welp, it's a big universe I guess.
Theoreol: most people won't believe me. anyways, space burn heal delivered so excuse me
Rakta: Wait!
Rakta and Alphecca run forward. They look really curious.
Alphecca: This may be rude but Theoreol, please!
Rakta: Please tell us more about yourself!?
Theoreol: wait what
