In a time that is not now...
In a place that is not here...
In a world parallel to ours...
...adventurers are trying to live out their dreams.
There is a party of adventures...
...and this is the story of their journey.
Their goal is...
...not yet set.
No...
Father...
Mother...
No...
Father!
Mother!
It was...
...a dream.
I'm Pastel G. King.
I am an adventurer.
My roles in our party are poet and topographer.
We're a real low-level party and we're always broke.
I write about our little adventures and get my stories published.
And, all that money goes to our party's fund.
Well, I'm not a very good topographer...
Actually, I have a really bad sense of direction.
I'm always getting us lost.
Oh, well.
Anyway, this is a town called Dorma.
Our party members Clay and Trapp were born and raised here.
It was really late when we got home last night.
But Trapp's mom stayed up for us.
Pastel, are you still in bed?
Huh?
Trapp, don't you ever knock?
What are you talking about?
We've been through so much together.
What's the point of being polite now?
You really don't have any manners.
Manners?
How about you, sleeping at my house until the mid-afternoon.
No way, it's afternoon?
Why you didn't wake me up sooner?
Don't look!
Y-You're the one...
Well, this is Trapp's place.
Trapp's father led a party of thieves.
So, his house is filled with lots of memorabilia.
Oh Pastel, why are you always so bossy?
B-Because you were peeping at me changing.
What are you talking about?
You're the one who started taking your clothes off.
Besides, who wants to see you naked?
W-What?
This really rude guy is Trapp.
He's the heir to this household.
Of course, he's also a thief, a very classic one.
He has a foul mouth and bad personality.
But, he's really good at picking locks and spotting traps.
So I actually owe him a lot...
...unfortunately.
Pastel, the soup Trapp's mom made for you is getting cold.
Yup, listen to the boss.
But, Clay...
That's Clay.
He's the leader of our party.
He's a soldier and a real fighter.
He came from knighted family, a pretty good one.
Somehow, he ended up as Trapp's best friend.
He's trustworthy and has good character.
But he has really bad luck.
Excuse me.
The table is where you eat, not a place to put your feet.
Ouch!
Sorry, he's probably causing a lot of trouble with his foul mouth, isn't he?
No, not at all...
Maybe a little.
I inherited my foul mouth from my mom!
I'm sure you're tired from your long trip but, you should eat well.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Yes, ma'am.
Her only son comes home from a long trip...
...and she still doesn't give me a break.
You think?
Last night she looked really happy when she saw your face.
That's all in your mind.
By the way...
Where are your father and his friends?
I haven't seen any of them.
Well, he's probably working or something.
And his only son is here visiting!
Trapp, your family are all thieves, right?
Which means...
They've probably got their eyes on a huge treasure or something.
Pastel, are you still eating breakfast?
You're late!
Oh, I'm sorry!
Where have you guys been?
We were searching this house.
This house is so big and there are so many cool things around.
Yes, there are!
That's Rumi.
She's an elf kid and knows magic.
She was separated from her parents in a forest fire and I found her crying...
...but she's like a little sister to me now.
And that's Shiro.
He is more like a puppy to me.
Investigating?
Are you sure you didn't break anything?
Of course, not!
Everything's okay.
Don't worry about it.
There's nothing worth anything in the rooms they were in.
Well then...
Why don't you show them the stuff in the back?
The real treasure!
The real treasure?
Wow, this is like a museum!
Like a museum!
Oh, don't run around!
Those two...
It's all right.
This glass is special.
You could hit it with a hammer and it wouldn't break.
Wow Trapp, your house is awesome.
Although we did steal these...
...we stole from some rich idiots who don't know the value of anything...
...or from some ruins that people have forgotten about.
Trapp's family donates whatever's a cultural treasure to the town.
Wow...
Father...
Mother...
My home town Gaina was destroyed by monsters.
And I became all alone...
But now...
I'm not alone anymore!
Huh?
Where did everybody go?
Clay, Trapp?
Rumi, Shiro?
Hey, where did you all go?
Rumi, Shiro?
Clay?
Trapp?
I don't like where this is going...
This is really creepy.
Oh no, what do I do?
Pastel, where'd you go?
I don't know.
We know she has no sense of direction, but...
How could she get lost in my house?
It's Pastel.
Oh no!
I knew this was going to happen...
Looks like Pastel has just wandered into my least favorite place.
Your least favorite place?
Least favorite place?
You mean...
Oh Lord, please don't let him show up!
Hey guys, you came to look for me?
Came to look for you?
Do you know whose room you're in?
I-l don't...
This is the room of the most horrible...
Knock it off.
...and abominable guy I can't stand in the world.
It's Stare Boot's room.
Hey chum, long time no see.
G-Grandpa...
Trapp, weren't you calling me something different just a minute ago?
Something like how great and fabulous I am.
People start forgetting things as they get older.
Right?
That was a close one.
If Clay didn't ask us over his house...
...l could've gotten a nice butt-kicking.
Trapp, wait up!
Trapp!
Hey, Trapp.
I know you're fast...
...but you don't have to go flying out...
...full speed.
Yeah!
Trapp, your grandpa looks healthy as usual.
Well, he's always checking to see if I've been practicing or what my level is.
It drives me nuts.
Really?
He seemed so nice.
He seemed nice.
Yeah!
He's nice in front of women and children.
So, he thought I was a woman!
I'm flattered.
I'm flattered!
Hey Trapp, I only know your nickname, but what's your real name?
Your last name is Boots, so...
Stare Boots. Your last name is Boots, so...
Stare Boots.
Don't say that!
Stare Boots?
Isn't that your grandpa's name too?
Is that why you don't use your real name?
Well, kind of...
But I almost got kidnapped long time ago.
K-Kidnapped?
Everyone in this town knows the Boots family.
They knew they could get a good ransom...
So, since then, I stopped using the name Stare Boots.
Even the heir of a great con family has problems.
Pastel, I'm hungry.
What, already?
Come to my house, my mom's probably baking a cake.
It's her hobby.
Cake!
It's been months since I've had a cake.
Yeah, cake, cake!
Yeah, cake!
This is Clay's house.
Let's go inside.
The Blue Holy Knight, Clay Judah Anderson.
That's Clay's famous great grandfather.
Well...
Clay's father and brother are in the Knighthood.
So, Clay is eventually going to be a knight too.
Well, I'm not really made to be a knight.
That's a lot of pressure, his grandpa being such a hero and all.
On top of that, his brothers are quite spectacular too.
My brothers are my brothers.
I feel like there is something else I have to do...
Oh, isn't that pretty snobby?
Pastel, there's something I want to show you.
Wow!
Are all these books yours?
Pastel, you're always writing books and earning the money for the party...
...but not for yourself...
But my writing doesn't make that much money anyway.
Well, it's helped us a lot.
That makes me really happy.
"The History of the Battle of the Empire."
"Milda's Diary."
"Durian Sack, the Witch of the Enchanted Forest."
We're going to stay in this town for a while.
You can borrow any book you want.
Really?
Great!
Clay, is that you?
Mother!
Welcome home!
What's the matter with you?
Did you have something more important than seeing your mom?
Well, no...
Clay, where's the cake?
Rumi is hungry!
Oh my!
I'm so happy to see that you have such lovely friends.
Oh, well...
Mrs. Anderson...
Pastel isn't as lovely as you think.
She has no sense of direction and cries all the time..
Trapp, you have a foul mouth as usual, but it seems like you've grown a little.
Well, you kids have been on the road for a while.
I bet you had a rough time.
Yes, but we all helped each other out, so...
Have you gotten to a higher level?
Oh Father, I was just about to bring you tea.
This is...
...Clay's grandfather...
Clay, you're the heir of Clay Judah Anderson, the Holy Blue Knight.
Aren't you embarrassed to be at such a low level?
But I'm doing my best...
What are girls and children doing in your party?
Clay.
Excuse me ladies, but I will find you a decent crew, all right?
B-But...
Don't worry, I won't let him control me.
If things get worse, we could always go to Silverleaf.
Welcome back, Young Master.
Hey, everyone!
How's it going?
It looks like Trapp's father is back in town.
Great!
Mom's homemade Hopple wine is the best.
Hey Pop, where did you go this time?
What kind of treasure did you get?
Don't be so hasty.
Spill it already!
Actually, I went to Mount Terrason's Altar.
Terrason's Altar?
Awesome!
But that's where Devil's ravine is.
What's that all about, an altar and Devil's ravine?
An altar and Devil's ravine!
East of this town, Dorma, lies the Mountain Terrason.
Long time ago, there was a story that the White Dragon flew down there.
White Dragon?
Terrason's Altar is where you summon the White Dragon.
Hey, that White Dragon isn't the...
But, there was also a rumor that this giant monster lived around there...
...then, the Devil's ravine...
...which was filled with poison gas, made it more difficult to go on.
However...
This is the Antidote Grass I got from an infomercial.
I threw a ton of those seeds into the valley half a year ago...
...then believe it or not, Antidote Grass neutralized the poison gas.
A-And how about the monster?
It didn't show up.
Whether it was my luck or it was just a rumor...
Anyway, I was able to get to the altar.
And how about the Dragon?
Alas, I couldn't meet the Dragon.
I think you have to do something special to summon the Dragon.
But guess what I found there?
There was a Dragon relief carved on the altar...
...and I found this in one of its eyes.
What?
What's the matter?
N-Nothing.
Nothing!
It is the same one.
How come we didn't realize until now...
...the story of the White Dragon?
I've heard that story since I was a kid.
If that White Dragon has something to do with Shiro's family...
Shiro, you may be able to meet your mom and dad.
Really?
Am I going to see my mom and dad?
Hey, don't get his hopes up.
We don't know anything yet.
Well, I said maybe, didn't l?
Maybe you'll meet your parents, maybe not.
I may be not...
Well, we have to find out.
Yeah, we have to find out!
Yes.
We should go to Terrason's Altar then!
When?
Tomorrow morning.
This is going to be fun!
Boss, we're in trouble!
What...
What happened?
We have your son.
If you want him back, return the Dragon's Jewel.
We'll give you directions later.
The Hole in the Wall?
Pastel!
What's this?
Kidnapping?
You've got to be kidding me, Trapp has been kidnapped?
This isn't the work of an ordinary kidnapper!
Our party is in deep trouble now.
We just have to stick together at a time like this!
B-But, who is behind of this kidnapping?
Next time on Fortune Quest...
Rescue Trapp.
Boy, am I exhausted!
