Hello!
I'm Pastel G. King.
I'm a poet and a topographer.
I have a really bad sense of direction, but that's another story.
We were in Dorma, the home town of our party members, Trapp and Clay.
But then Trapp got kidnapped!
Someone who calls himself the Hole in the Wall...
...was demanding the White Dragon Jewel Trapp's father bought back.
But Trapp left us a trail so we followed it and...
...it led us to Town Hall!
And the Kidnapper turned out to be Mayor Avis!
We managed to get into Town Hall, but we got caught!
Get in there!
Ouch.
Pastel, are you all right?
Hey, what are you going to do to us?
This sucks, I was on my way out of here and now look...
What are you talking about, you let this happen in the first place...
What do you mean?
Hey hey, you two calm down.
He's right, this is no time to fight.
So, what does Avis want?
You got kidnapped on purpose to find out what he wants, didn't you?
What?
What's that?
This is the unofficial account book.
What?
Wow, it's all red.
Serious debt...
That's right, this town is in serious debt.
I think that's one of the reasons I was kidnapped.
Why wouldn't they ask for money then?
Why does he want the Jewel?
Hello, hello...
This is a surprise.
Well well well, if it isn't Stare Boots.
What are you trying to do, Avis?
Kidnapping my grandson...
Kidnapping?
I don't know what you're talking about.
You wrote quite a ransom note and everything.
What was the name signed in the note?
Some kind of hole or something...
The Hole in the Mall!
The Hole in the Wall.
Yeah, that's the one.
You seem to know it very well.
Damn!
W-W-Well of course, they've been terrorizing the town lately.
Of course, they have.
Because they're in huge debt.
W-W-Where did you get that?
G-Give it back!
Nope.
Avis, I didn't know you had the guts to challenge the Boots Family.
I'm pretty impressed.
So, you figured it out.
That's right.
They say that a smart eagle hides its claws when it hunts.
If you're feeling that way, I have another plan.
Another plan?
First of all, I'd like to throw you out of the mayor's office.
Grandpa Boots is so confident...
It shows how much he was worried about Trap.
W-What are you doing?
Let go!
No, I will not let go!
Come on, hurry up and tie them up!
Let go!
Ouch, ouch!
Hey, you!
If you cooperated with us from the beginning...
...l wouldn't have to get harsh like this.
You don't think kidnapping me was harsh?
Shut your mouth.
Listen, you are my hostages...
...to get me the Dragon Jewel.
Well, about that...
Why do you want the Jewel so badly?
Listen carefully...
This is all for the town of Dorma.
The reason I decided to run for mayor in the first place was...
Here is the brief outline of the Mayor's story.
He wanted the town to flourish so he invested the town budget.
But he basically lost all money.
He even borrowed money on the donated fine art from the Boot's family
He spent that money too, and had no way to pay it back.
When he realized it, the debt was way over the town's annual budget.
But that served him right, don't you think?
Well, this is bringing me to tears, it wasn't easy for me either.
What investments?
More like a gambling spree, isn't it?
B-But if I meet the White Dragon, everything will be okay...
Why?
I've heard of this story.
If you summon the White Dragon, it will grant you one wish.
Is that story true?
I think that's just a story.
Even if it's true, are you going to ask the White Dragon to clear your debts?
What a shame...
A-Anyway, let me have the Dragon Jewel.
Oh, you are the third son of the Anderson Family.
Do you have the Jewel?
I-l don't have it with me.
Why would I have such a valuable thing?
So you want to play a game, then I'll have to...
Well...
Oh no, don't!
Here it is.
So this is the Dragon Jewel.
Thank you for your cooperation, everyone.
I hope you have a pleasant night.
Those are the Terrason Mountains.
Hey, why do you have to take us with you?
You're my very valuable hostages.
And you are adventurers, aren't you?
I thought you all might come in handy.
Pastel!
Yes?
If we reach the top of the mountain I may be able to meet...
...my mother and father!
Yes, I think so.
I'm getting a little excited!
We have to climb this mountain for Shiro too.
But I'm a little worried about how excited Shiro is...
What if the story of the White Dragon is just a myth and nothing happens?
Then Shiro will be so disappointed.
Speaking of stories...
Hey, Shiro.
The story about a White Dragon granting wishes...
Is it true?
Of course it's true.
Wow, then can it grant my wishes too?
Yup, in fact, I've already granted you a wish.
Remember that you asked me to come with you when we met the first time?
That's why I've been...
Is that why you've been with us the whole time?
That's right but...
...l totally forgot I've granted you that wish.
Because...
...l like staying with you.
Oh Shiro!
Hey Pastel, it's time to go.
Okay.
If only I knew about the wish thing sooner.
Oh well...
We're coming, White Dragon!
Wow, what a huge rock.
Oh, this is Twin Rock.
We should be close to the mountain shack now.
Pastel, I think we could get there without you marking the trail.
What does that mean?
Clay, what's wrong?
I thought I saw this rock already...
Yeah, you're right.
Excuse me.
Can I see the map?
You take this path to the shack and...
Uh-oh.
Did we just go in a circle?
I think I'm a little tired...
Yeah, it looks like the map just redrew itself.
I think I just saw a new road appearing...
T-There wasn't a road there before.
It's a dream, a hallucination, it has to be.
But didn't you just see it?
Something is trying to mess with us.
Maybe it's that Terrason Monster that Pop was talking about.
Pastel, I'm hungry.
Mayor, we're exhausted.
Please let us take a break.
O-Oh, all right.
Then we'll take a...
Oh no, our lunch!
Don't go, it could be a trap!
I will go and save them!
No, it's too dangerous.
But we have to do something!
I'll come with you.
I guess I'll tag along too then!
Hey you kids!
Don't go too far!
You guys better be careful!
Hey!
Where are you?
Hey!
Where are you?
Hey Pastel, don't run off.
You might get lost.
Hey, help us!
Don't go!
Hey, it's us!
Please get us down!
Hurry!
Help, help, help, help! Hurry!
I'm begging you!
Here we go.
Okay.
There.
So, what happened?
Are you guys okay?
Are you okay?
Tell us what happened?
Well...
I have no clue...
Hey, come back!
Our lunch!
W-What in the world?
That's what happened...
And your backpacks?
Yeah, our lunch!
Where are they?
Well, I'm glad you're all okay.
Y-Yeah...
Let's hurry and get back.
No problem.
I left a mark on the way in.
So we wouldn't get lost like a certain somebody.
You're talking about me, aren't you?
What in the world?
Oh Trapp, did you get us lost?
But that's impossible, isn't it?
No!
Look at this!
The mark I left!
There wasn't this giant rock here before.
Yeah, you're right, that rock wasn't there.
What's going on?
I have no idea.
Help!
Hey! Help!
Wait!
Clay!
What are you doing?
O-Ouch!
Trapp, get off me!
I heard you.
Here.
W-What is this?
H-Heavy!
Trapp, get off me!
I heard you, here.
O-Ouch, ouch!
Oh sorry, are you okay?
Well, let me go check out the situation.
What is going on?
What is this?
We won't fall if we stay still like this.
That's true, but we can't stay here forever.
Hey, are you all right?
Clay!
Pastel!
Trapp, your grandpa is here!
This is hugely embarrassing, but...
Hey Grandpa, we're over here!
Hurry up and help us!
Oh, Trapp.
Are you all right?
What is this, a set?
A set?
Yeah, he's right.
Grandpa Boots, stay back!
I'm glad that the three of you are okay!
What?
Is there something on my face?
What's the matter?
What's the ruckus?
We've really been tricked, haven't we?
But I never actually saw the monster.
I can't believe they ran off and didn't even retrieve the luggage.
No...
I think they're smart.
The mystery Monster is trying to prevent us from getting to the Altar.
If you want to go back...
No way!
I can't turn back, for the sake of the people, the world and the debt!
Hey, there's smoke.
It's coming from the shack.
I hear somebody talking...
Who could it be?
I-l bet it's my servants.
Shall we?
Huh?
What's this?
That's the luggage, that means...
Our lunch...
Yeah, it's lunch-time!
Me too!
Rumi, no, it could be a trap!
It's very delicious!
Aren't you going to eat?
Well then...
Are you hogging our lunch?
Wait!
An earthquake?
Oh no, it won't open!
Trapp, put out the fire.
I'm on it!
There.
R-Rumi!
The Stop Spell is in this memo...
Got it!
Yo medayachii gou moteshi taitai denrokogan...
...sama ruda shack!
I-lt stopped!
What the...
We're floating!
Pastel, watch out!
Is it over?
Oh no, I'm going to die!
Just as I thought!
Huh?
I will go ask the Monsters to stop.
Shiro!
It can fly?
What is it?
My god, did that dog just speak and fly?
I bit my tongue.
Clay, what's going on?
W-What are they?
Oh no!
What's going on?
Are we really going to get to the top of the mountain?
Don't these tracks belong to that big monster everyone is talking about?
What are we going to do?
Is that Terrason's Altar?
What's that light?
Next time on Fortune Quest...
The Altar of the White Dragon.
Shiro, are you really leaving us?
