Jest 'cuz I gotta a li'l too drunk las' night... Jill Wh... What ? You should be ashamed to wear that helmet! Jill's Mother That's enough, dear; she's safely back now. Jill's Father I guess... Flippin' eejit! We were jest reminiscin' about kickin' arse in battle! Jest chewin' the hay with a couple o' comrades in arms! -pg133- Fatty Yo! Jill. Good to see you safe. Sorry 'bout the other day. Jill's Mother You heard what he said. Let's go buy some sake. Jill So he can get drunk again ? Jill's Mother Oh, please don't, Jill... Jill I've had enough! Day after day we're drowned in stories of some old battle you lost! You don't even CARE what happens to ME! -pg134- Jill's Mother Jill!! Jill's Father Some old battle, hunh ? Lost it, did we ? Brats like you should be seen but not heard!! We fought as best we could, so that our wives and kids could live in safety! I fought for our country till I had nothing left, and was dragged along by one foot as bombs fell from above... Why do you... Look at me like that ? Jill's Mother Jill, apologize to your father! Jill's Father Outta the way! Jill Mother! -pg135- Jill's Father How can you look at your father like that, after I fought for my family's life ? How can you glare at me !? How dare you!!!

Pakk Sheesh...Hang on, hang on...I hope we can let bygones be bygones. Why such a strong reaction to me ? Jill's Father Eeek... Don't come any close! Pakk Er... That really shouldn'ta hurt... Jill's Mother Jill! Hurry, get in the house! Jill It's okay, Mom! That elf saved me! He's not from Misty Valley! -pg138- Gatts Think you've got enough people ? -ph139- Kurt You... Hand over that elf quietly. Gatts Since you asked so nicely... Pakk (Not good! Not good!) Gatts Mind telling me what this is all about ? Jill's Father Shut up! Just hand it over! Or we'll have to kill you! Man Yeah! Jill No! That's not an Elf from Misty Valley! Jill's Mother Jill! Just come in the house! Gatts Deary, deary me. Whatever happened to diplomacy ?

Pakk Unforgivable... Such ignorant people... This calls for arson! Gatts Oi... Pakk Normal people wouldn't dream of killing a cuddly little elf! Psychos! It's a den of abnormal sexual criminals! Usually people refer to elves politely! Even if we steal one or two cows, it just makes 'em laugh: "Ooh, those naughty little elves, whatever will they do next ? :)" It's an old country tradition! (Ah! They have misjudged me!) Elves deserve special treatment! Argh! I demand recompensation! Castrate them all! (I'll knock their jaw so hard their teeth fall out!) -pg144- Gatts Yeah, right. How long have you been nesting in my bag ? Pakk Don't worry 'bout it! It brings good luck and protects you...I think. (Lucky spirits...) Gatts What's lucky about this ? Our luck just hit rock bottom! Pakk (Yikes! A curse!) Jill Swordsman-san ? Elf-chan ? I'm sorry... If I'd warned you in advance... This this might... Gatts Forget it. You gave us a lot of other useful information. Pakk I'm Pakk, by the way; you gonna be okay, Jill-chan ? Jill .... Mm. I'm good. -pg145- Jill You can hide in that windmill... They don't use it anymore; it's broken. I'll bring you some food after nightfall. We'll talk more than; just keep quiet. Gatts Oi, Jill...don't do that. Morning will come soon enough. Don't you come anywhere near me till the sun is well up. Jill Eh ? Gatts I don't want you meetin' anything else like that one last night. -pg146- Jill's Father Faster! We ain't got all the time in the world, here! Jill's Mother I-I'm sorry... Comrade Now, now; she's doing fine. Jill's Father This is why Jill's the way she is! Comrade2 Damn straight! You need to be firm! Jill's Father Ow! Be careful...! Comrade Gotta take a piss. -pg147- Comrade Hunh. -pg148- Jill Swordsman-san... -pg149- Jill Uh... Um... Pakk Stay quiet a little longer. -pg150- Pakk He's sound asleep at last... Jill A black swordsman... Travelling with an elf... Where to ? They must have come from a strange world... I don't know of anything like them here... Retribution: Lost Children -- Jill -- The End.
