I'm Pastel G. King.
I'm a poet and a topographer.
I do have a really bad sense of direction...
But I'm a true adventurer at heart!
We're on a little break from adventure right now.
We're in the home town of our party members Clay and Trapp.
Trapp's father brought back the White Dragon's Jewel from Mount Terrason.
Shiro, one of our members, is a White Dragon too.
And that White Dragon may be Shiro's mother or father.
We have to find out about this right away.
B-But now we have a problem!
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.
What is this?
Kidnapping?
Is this kidnapping?
But...
Why Trapp?
Like I said...
They're after the Boot's family treasures and kidnapping is the best way.
Boss!
We've got to go save your son!
There's something strange about this Hole in the Wall.
Hey, have any of you ever heard about the Hole in the Wall?
No, we haven't...
None of the Boots' household has heard of this kidnapper...
...he must be something special.
But that's why we have to...
Wait a minute.
There's an old saying that a thief in a hurry makes less profit.
But Trapp's life is in danger!
I hope he's eating a hearty breakfast.
Well, it's not really the time to worry about breakfast...
Why is the Boots' household in an uproar so early in the day?
Oh Godfather!
Godfather!
Father.
Father...
Trapp has been...
I know.
I heard the story but there's no need to rescue him.
What?
How can the heir to a bugler's family be kidnapped?
We are thieves.
We steal, we are not supposed to be stolen.
This has disgraced Stare Boots' reputation.
He should have never been named after me.
If he's going to embarrass us like this...
Stop! lf he's going to embarrass us like this...
Stop!
Is this how you treat your own grandson?
You're a grandpa, you should be worried sick about your precious grandson!
Trapp was right.
You are absolutely horrible and abominable.
You're stubborn as a rock!
That brat! You're stubborn as a rock!
That brat!
Pastel, I think you're just making him angrier...
Oh well...
I was an idiot thinking you were such a nice grandpa the other day.
That's an Elect Tel Pigeon.
No, that's the new Hyper Plus Elect Tel Pigeon...
...with an 88% destination accuracy function.
For a limited time, you can purchase one for only 10000 gold!
Elect Elect Super Pigeon!
Don't be late, call now to order!
Elect Shopping!
Father, please don't sing...
Like father like son, they're both suckers for infomercials.
What's that?
Bring the Jewel to the Gupuray Hills this afternoon.
Have anybody but a thief to do the job.
If you try to do anything smart your son will be dead.
The Hole in the Wall.
Anybody but a thief...
I'll go!
Clay and I will.
Because Trap is our best friend...
We can't just stay here and wait.
Please let us go.
Mr. and Mrs. Boots.
I come from a family of Knights.
I know I can bring Trap home safely.
But it might be really dangerous.
All right.
I'll give you the Jewel.
But just be careful out there.
Yes!
Damn, how could I let this happen?
So that's the plan, okay?
Yes, Sir.
Well, I'm going out for a while.
You guys better not screw up.
Yes, Sir.
We'll definitely bring back the White Dragon's Jewel.
Well, I'll have to trust you guys...
Take care!
Oh man, this is bad!
Oh well!
What's wrong with these kidnappers!
They're half an hour late!
Clay!
Pastel!
Rumi!
Shiro too?
We finally caught up.
Finally!
You guys...
I told you two to wait at home.
Go back to home.
But I'm so very worried.
Very worried.
You know, we're about to meet some really scary kidnappers.
So...
Okay?
But I'm part of your party too!
Yes, we're buddies.
Yes, you're right, a party works together.
Yeah!
Yeah, yeah!
We're together!
They seem kind of jolly.
Be jolly while you can...
We have to get close now and get the Jewel.
Huh?
Hey, you.
Are you making fun of the plan I got from my book, "You Can Be a Spy"?
I stayed up all night planning this, so don't mess it up.
Yeah...
Look!
This perfect disguise...
We look like vineyard workers no matter how you look at us.
We can sneak up on them without looking suspicious.
And after we take the Jewel?
Huh?
I don't think that was in the manual.
Oh, shut up!
Then we just run away as fast as we can!
I'm against violence!
I'm a member of the Democratic party...
Wow!
Grapes!
Trapp...
W-What is that?
Help!
R-Run!
What the heck is that?
It's a Grape Monster.
It's low-level but it can be a real pain when in groups.
It's still following!
Is this a part of your plan?
Of course, it's called dashing forward!
Oh no!
A dead end!
That was horrible.
Elect Tel Pigeon?
Well...
Wait in the schoolyard?
What's taking them so long?
Hurry up and save me...
Idiot!
Saying sorry won't save you!
Well, we weren't expecting that to happen so...
No excuses!
Just hurry up and get the Jewel.
Yes Sir, we are definitely going to get it as soon as possible this time...
Okay, okay...
Just go and get the Jewel already.
We've got a hostage here.
If things go bad, we could just...
Hey hey, this is no joke.
What if I get killed?
All right, I think that'll do it.
Yes, Sir.
Oh my.
I haven't sweated like this in a while.
Hey, there's no time for a chit-chat.
We have to cover up this hole now.
I'm the man!
Well...
I'm the one who dug this hole.
But it was my plan.
Just hurry up and hide.
They're going to get here soon.
Yes, Sir.
Clay, are you sure this is the way?
This is the school Trapp and I went to.
I'm pretty sure.
Oh that's right, you two were classmates.
Yeah, I guess we were two peas in a pod.
And we're still traveling together.
This is the short cut.
Hey Dummy!
Wrong way!
Wait!
Are you okay?
Shut up!
How's it now?
You won't pick the wrong way now, will you?
You're such a pain.
Are you ready?
Everything is ready!
Okay, this time for sure...
Thanks a lot!
The shortcut was full of spider webs and snakes.
You are an adventurer...
Aren't you?
You shouldn't be afraid of anything.
Of course, I should!
Well, I'm a girl, you know?
Hey, hey you guys...
Why?
Why don't they follow the signs?
People like you cause car accidents!
Y-You should watch your step...
Unbelievable!
They don't even know the traffic rules...
I don't think its really our place to say that.
Let's not talk about it...
Oh no...
Did you really cross this bridge everyday?
Yeah.
It's kind of shabby but...
It's totally shabby!
I'm going!
Me too!
Wait!
Here they come.
They're going to get crushed!
But won't it be a problem if we crush the Jewel?
Shut up!
Damn it, they ignored every single trap I set up.
People like them don't deserve to live!
I don't know...
There'll be no point if we destroy the Jewel...
And if I hurt that small child, I'll have nightmares...
Die!
W-What are you doing?
Fireworks!
Hey, this isn't the time to be a saint.
Let go!
Fireworks?
Well...
I don't think so.
Pastel!
Hurry!
I'm coming!
We finally found a normal road.
I'll never take your shortcuts again.
Hey, Clay!
Clay, that's you...
...isn't it?
Long time no see.
Professor Bruno.
Professor?
He was our teacher when Trapp and I were kids.
Oh my...
You've gotten so big.
A-And you look well too, Professor.
It seems like yesterday when I think of you and Trapp causing...
...all that trouble.
He talks really slow.
He hasn't changed a bit.
When was the first time...
...l caught you two causing trouble?
So, how is your grandfather?
W-Well, he's doing well.
Clay, we've got to hurry.
Trapp is...
O-Okay.
P-Professor, we're kind of in a hurry.
Oh, you are?
Sorry to keep you.
Rumi...
I don't blame her.
So, this is the school you and Trapp went to...
Yeah.
Looks so comfortable.
She must be tired, it's been a long day.
What were you guys like when you were little?
Well...
I remember we were just rascals.
Isn't it cool?
Wow, where did you get it?
I stole it from Phil.
You mean Phil in the senior class?
Yeah.
He cornered me during lunch break.
Then why didn't you tell me?
Hey, you started it, didn't you?
Yeah, I've been eyeing his sling shot for a while...
What's wrong?
Let's go back!
I think he let himself get kidnapped on purpose.
What?
Yeah, he must have...
Ever since he was a kid, he would trick others that way...
Let's go!
Hey!
Wait!
Hey, what's going on?
I told them to wait here.
Why, why?
Hey...
Clay, did he really leave us a clue?
Yes.
I'm sure he left us some kind of message.
But it's such a mess...
Pastel!
Will you read this to me?
Oh...
Later, okay?
I'm a little busy right now.
But, I'm bored.
Hey Pastel.
Pastel!
That's it!
This is the clue!
A fragment of a star?
Yes!
The fragment of a star!
That's right, it's the fragment of a star!
Hey, take a look.
That's the fragment of a star.
What's this?
We played with these when we were kids.
They glow at night.
So this leads to Trap?
Pastel, hurry, let's save him!
Let's save him!
This is...
The town hall.
G-Grandfather!
But why?
You were being cruel before.
If I act openly, the enemy will find out what I'm up to.
And one mistake can put his life in jeopardy.
He's a bad seed.
But he is also a Stare Boots, so I have to get to the bottom of this.
Well, let's finish the job.
I guess...
...he really does care a lot about Trapp.
Yeah.
But he's still stubborn as a rock.
Trapp is really loved.
What's going on?
You guys are all talk but no action.
Not only the Dragon Jewel...
...but also my position will be in jeopardy.
You worthless idiots, what do you guys have to say about this?
Idiots!
I can't believe it.
It's Avis.
Avis?
It's the mayor.
I can't believe he's the kidnapper.
Damn!
Who's it?
Oh no!
Intruder!
Go get them!
Get them!
Don't loose them!
This way!
There they are, over here!
Damn!
Come on, this way.
Okay!
What is this?
A garbage dump?
I can't believe this!
Stop complaining.
You could have been killed.
Trapp!
You guys were taking forever so I had to escape on my own.
Shut up, you caused all this trouble!
Ouch, what are you doing, you old geezer!
You little snot, bring it on!
I don't think this is the time for family quarrel...
Well what do we have here?
Everyone is here.
Avis, you son of a...
So, how shall I entertain you all?
Oh my gosh, I can't believe it!
The kidnapper turned out to be the Mayor, Avis!
What a jerk!
What?
He wants us to go to the Altar of Mount Terrason?
But we might find out about Shiro's family...
I guess we'll just have to do what the Mayor says for now...
Next time on Fortune Quest...
The Mystery of Mount Terrason.
What the...
N-No!
