Berdly: "Um..."
null
null
Susie: "Kris?"
null
null
Berdly: "J... Just give me a moment!!"
null
null
Berdly: "It's not like Kris could even solve it anyway!!"
null
null
*Berdly tries to solve the puzzle but fails. Susie mocks him, which triggers a flashback for Berdly.*
null
null
Berdly: "..."
null
null
Berdly: "I..."
null
null
Berdly: "In..."
null
null
Berdly: "There..."
null
null
Berdly: "I... I... I just..."
null
null
*The screen goes dark. Berdly's story about his past begins.*
null
null
Berdly: "I used to be a forgettable little bluebird."
null
null
Berdly: "No one even remembered my name."
null
null
Berdly: "Then... one day, came the spelling bee Noelle and I studied for."
null
null
Berdly: "When it came down to the two of us..."
null
null
Berdly: "She got nervous and couldn't speak."
null
null
Berdly: "She lost."
null
null
Berdly: "And I won."
null
null
Berdly: "That was when I tasted it."
null
null
Berdly: "The praise. The glory! The... SUPERIORITY!!"
null
null
Berdly: "The addictive POWER of being... SMART!!"
null
null
Berdly: "Since then, year after year, I've been number 1 in the class."
null
null
Berdly: "... but it's only because Noelle helps me study."
null
null
Berdly: "She's... smart."
null
null
Berdly: "But everyone's expectations for ME are so high now."
null
null
Berdly: "What am I going to do once I go somewhere without her...?"
null
null
Berdly: "That's... why I wanted to make a new world."
null
null
Berdly: "A world where we'll ALWAYS be number 1 and number 2!!!"
null
null
Berdly: "But... I was so wrapped up in that, I got tricked by Queen."
null
null
Berdly: "And now... Noelle is going to suffer because of it."
null
null
Berdly: "Maybe I did just like being superior."
null
null
Berdly: "Maybe I am... just... an idiot."
null
null
*The flashback ends. Berdly stands with his head bowed.*
null
null
Lancer: "Don't cry, chicken-nugget-man."
null
null
Lancer: "All of us are idiots, too."
null
null
Berdly: "Huh...?"
null
null
Susie: "... I mean, like, I dunno about everyone else, but..."
null
null
Susie: "Whether you're the smart kid or not."
null
null
Susie: "We couldn't care less."
null
null
Susie: "Screw up as much as you want, honestly."
null
null
Susie: "It's not like our opinion of you could get any worse."
null
null
Berdly: "..."
null
null
Berdly: "Susie... you... you'd... accept me...? Even if I'm... dumb?"
null
null
Susie: "Uh... y... yeah?"
null
null
Susie: "It's like when your sister gets cursed in Dragon Blazers 2."
null
null
Susie: "Even if her stats suck, she's still your party member."
null
null
Berdly: "S... Susie!? A REAL Dragon Blazers 2 reference...?"
null
null
Berdly: "... Susie..."
null
null
Berdly: "You're not only kind, but a true gamer as well."
null
null
Berdly: "Perhaps I... underestimated you."
null
null
Berdly: "But worry not!! I have decided!!!"
null
null
Berdly: "I will turn over a new leaf from now on..."
null
null
Berdly: "And FIGHT! For the side..."
null
null
Berdly: "OF IGNORANCE!!!"
null
null
Susie: "WE'RE NOT TELLING YOU TO BE AN IDIOT!!!"
null
null
Lancer: "Just, sometimes it's OK to make mistakes!!"
null
null
Berdly: "Hahaha -- and make mistakes, I will!!!"
null
null
Berdly: "Onward!!"
null
null
Susie: "Ugh, why couldn't Ralsei be here to teach the moral lesson!?"
null
null
*Kris solves the second puzzle.*
null
null
Susie: "Whoops, looks like Kris did it again."
null
null
Berdly: "H-huh!? W... wait!! Wait just a second!!"
null
null
Berdly: "You can't have --"
null
null
Berdly: "You just got lucky! It's just trial and error!"
null
null
Berdly: "The brute force method! Ha! A caveman could do it!"
null
null
Berdly: "Except cavemen died OUT, because they're STUPID!"
null
null
Berdly: "I'M solving the next one, so --"
null
null
Berdly: "Just STAY HERE until I'm done!!"
null
null
Susie: "..."
null
null
Susie: "Yeah, like we're gonna wait that long."
null
null
*The team moves to the next room.*
null
null
*The team enters the dining hall. Swatchlings are sitting at long tables.*
null
null
Swatchling: "This downstairs table will be for our special guests."
null
null
Swatchling: "There's a dinner party on the 2nd floor for everyone else."
null
null
Swatchling: "Everything is proceeding as planned."
null
null
*The team moves on, into the kitchen.*
null
null
Susie: "Th... that screaming... Ralsei...!?"
null
null
*In the kitchen, Ralsei in a butler outfit is fending off a crowd of Swatchlings.*
null
null
Ralsei: "U-umm, you don't have to do this...!"
null
null
Ralsei: "... Just because you like my outfit!"
null
null
*The Swatchlings carry Ralsei away.*
null
null
Ralsei: "O-oh!! Kris, Susie!! Umm, how may I serve you...?"
null
null
Susie: "The hell are you wearing!?"
null
null
Ralsei: "Umm, Queen didn't have a room for me, so... err..."
null
null
Ralsei: "She made me into one of her butlers, instead..."
null
null
Susie: "Whatever!! Ralsei! Can you heal Lancer!?"
null
null
Ralsei: "O-oh! Of course!"
null
null
*Ralsei tries to heal Lancer, but his magic doesn't work.*
null
null
Lancer: "Haha... it's... cold..."
null
null
Ralsei: "..."
null
null
Ralsei: "I'm afraid... This is something I can't heal."
null
null
Susie: "Wh-what!?"
null
null
Ralsei: "Lancer... doesn't belong in this world..."
null
null
*Lancer turns to stone.*
null
null
Susie: "Lancer!? Lancer, hey...!!"
null
null
Ralsei: "You see, each Dark Fountain creates a different "world.""
null
null
Ralsei: "A "world" whose Darkners reflect the will of its fountain."
null
null
Ralsei: "But, though those Darkners can exist in their own worlds..."
null
null
Ralsei: "They might not "belong" if they go to another one."
null
null
Susie: "... so can we help him!?"
