♪Hm hm hm hmmm...♪ Oh, I love days like today when there's hardly anyone around!
link Monica volume_up
Hello, Bernadetta. Do you have a minute?
link Bernadetta volume_up
Ack! What? I wasn't doing anything, I swear!
link Monica volume_up
I'll take that as a yes.
link Monica volume_up
Listen, there's a small matter that needs a bit of handling, so I'm gathering up anyone who's available.
link Monica volume_up
Which, as of right now, is just the three of us.
link Bernadetta volume_up
OK, well, I'm not much good at dealing with things, and certainly not with...you know. Matters.
link Shez volume_up
Yeah, we're going after bandits that are holed up in a cave, which means ranged combat'll be useless.
link Shez volume_up
Yeah, we're going after bandits that are holed up in a cave, which means ranged combat'll be useless.
link Shez volume_up
Bernadetta's just gonna slow us down.
link Shez volume_up
Bernadetta's just gonna slow us down.
link Bernadetta volume_up
B-bandits? Hey, and wait! I'm not going to slow anyone down! Don't be rude!
link Bernadetta volume_up
B-bandits? Hey, and wait! I'm not going to slow anyone down! Don't be rude!
link Bernadetta volume_up
I can fight when I want to, so maybe I want to today.
link Bernadetta volume_up
I can fight when I want to, so maybe I want to today.
link Shez volume_up
Just trying to give you an out. But hey, if you wanna come bandit caving with us, fine by me.
link Shez volume_up
Just trying to give you an out. But hey, if you wanna come bandit caving with us, fine by me.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Well, um... Yeah, you know what? Maybe I should just sit this one out.
link Shez volume_up
Knock it off. You can more than hold your own in a fight, and you know it.
link Shez volume_up
Knock it off. You can more than hold your own in a fight, and you know it.
link Shez volume_up
I mean, sure, we'll be fighting bandits in a cave, but how hard can it be?
link Shez volume_up
I mean, sure, we'll be fighting bandits in a cave, but how hard can it be?
link Bernadetta volume_up
Ugh, see? I should definitely sit this one out.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Isn't there someone else you can ask? This is my day off! It's Bernie Day!
link Bernadetta volume_up
Isn't there someone else you can ask? This is my day off! It's Bernie Day!
link Monica volume_up
Actually, nearly everyone else is off seeing to one task or another at the moment.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Oh... I guess that's why it's so nice and quiet around here today.
link Duke Gerth volume_up
Enough! If we don't make haste, the enemy will realize we are coming and flee their location.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Bwah! Wh-who are you?!
link Monica volume_up
That's Duke Gerth, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. I assume this is your first time meeting?
link Duke Gerth volume_up
This may very well be, but I have quite often worked alongside your mother.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Really? I guess I should be thanking you for keeping her safe then...
link Duke Gerth volume_up
Ah, not so. In fact, it is very much I who am indebted to her and her considerable talents.
link Shez volume_up
All right, I think that's enough introductions for now. We need to get this show on the road, remember?
link Shez volume_up
All right, I think that's enough introductions for now. We need to get this show on the road, remember?
link Duke Gerth volume_up
Quite right. Bernadetta, let me get you up to speed.
link Duke Gerth volume_up
Two years ago, I was attempting to recover the lost Fetters of Dromi.
link Duke Gerth volume_up
But a suspicious personage, seemingly having learned of my efforts, managed to infiltrate my inner circle.
link Duke Gerth volume_up
They were likely working for Lord Arundel.
link Monica volume_up
In a related note, someone attached themselves to my father, Baron Ochs, during the time I went missing.
link Monica volume_up
My investigation into that person led me to Duke Gerth's inner circle.
link Duke Gerth volume_up
Point being, these suspicious actors all appear to lead back to a single group.
link Bernadetta volume_up
And those are the cave people?
link Monica volume_up
Indeed. After many fruitless attempts, we finally managed to track them down.
link Monica volume_up
We must strike before they have a chance to relocate.
link Bernadetta volume_up
And...Edelgard and Hubert and the rest of them really aren't around? It's just...me?
link Bernadetta volume_up
Looks like Bernie Day will have to wait.
link Shez volume_up
It's bad luck we ended up getting the report today. Sorry, Bernadetta.
link Shez volume_up
It's bad luck we ended up getting the report today. Sorry, Bernadetta.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Well, I'll just have to take it out on the enemy!
link Bernadetta volume_up
Well, I'll just have to take it out on the enemy!
link Shez volume_up
Hey, you're not the only one who wants a day off. But come on, we're all helping out.
link Shez volume_up
Hey, you're not the only one who wants a day off. But come on, we're all helping out.
link Monica volume_up
Let's go. And remember, time is of the essence.
link Monica volume_up
We will strike a mighty blow against any who would threaten our Empire and Her Majesty!
link Duke Gerth volume_up
And as I fear I'm not much of a fighter, I will be depending greatly on you all. Good luck!
