Chapter 1 ❆ Chapter 2 ❆ Chapter 3 ❆ Card Episode
Akira: Amazing! Most of those rounds end up being bullseyes!
Arthur: Thank you, Master Sage. Everything’s going well.
Arthur: A showdown?
May I ask more about the rules for this showdown, Bradley?
Bradley: The rules are simple. Imma summon a tree filled with fruits in a sec. The one who shoots everything down within 30 seconds wins.
Arthur: …
Akira: (Both of them are holding onto the grips of their rifles so tensely...It’s gonna be hard to judge properly.)
Now then…get yourselves ready now. Ready, set, and go!
(BANG-! BANG-! BANG-!)
(The showdown has already begun, but Bradley isn’t moving at all...I wonder what's going on?)
10 seconds left!
(BANG-! BANG-! BANG-!)
Arthur: !!
Akira: (The fruits fell down at rapid speed! Tons of them went down with just a single shot...)
3, 2, 1...Time’s up!
Arthur: Thank you, Master Sage.
Snow - White: Yoohoo! There you are, Bradley, Arthur, and Sage!
Arthur: Ah…
Bradley: Ah…
White: 'Tis ought to be a long talk for sure.
(Akira: Oh...we'll tell you all what happened when we get back…)

Card Episode: A Pricey Fee for Info
Location: Bradley's Room
Akira: Hey Bradley, could you share me about what's good about living in the North?
Bradley: The good thing about living in the North, eh? I would say that the best part is that only the toughest survive.
Akira: Huh? You believe that's the best part about the North?
Bradley: Hell yeah. Loads of peeps have tons of reasons on why they wanna visit there.
It's hard for pursuers to reach the North.
If ya steal all kinds of stuff from other countries, don't ya think it's a great place to settle down?
Akira: Uhhh. I think it's impossible to settle down there, unless they have a motive why they want to.
Bradley: Anyone livin' at the North aren't softies at all.
Doesn't matter how bloodthristy they are, no one's stoppin' them. Doesn't matter if anything happened to them either. Those who seek to test their strength will prevail.
That's how it works at the North. Any shallow good-for-nothings end up dead before they set foot there.
Anyways, don't ya think it's a good intensive course to show off the capacities of yer strength? There's no guarantee you'd be able to make it alive though.
Akira: Oh man...I see. Must be a great place to test out your skills.
Bradley: Ya must've been tempted, huh? Lemme know if ya also wanna test out your capabilities. I'll bring ya to the North any time.
Akira: You mentioning that...Is it just because you wanted to keep yourself out of the twins' sight?
Bradley: Is there anything more than that? I spilled ya some info, ya know. Shoulda owe me a thank you or smth'.
Bonus! Homescreen Line:
Bradley: I hate beatin' around the bush. All you need to know is that I'm straight to the point. If someone pisses me off, I'll beat up their ass. But if they're a fellow comrade, I'll protect 'em with all I have.
Chapter 1
Location: North Country Field
Arthur: As expected from Master Oz. However, this place is still dangerous to go off alone. Make sure to stay safe, alright Master Sage?
Akira: Alright!
(BANG-!)
Akira: Whoa…! That sound we heard just now...Was that a gunshot?
Bradley: What’s up? Ya guys got some time in yer hands right now?
Arthur: What were you doing?
Bradley: Since I wasn’t allowed to use my rifle back at the manor, I’m blasting this bad boy away to loosen up while I’m still here.
Snow: Hey! Stop that, Bradley!
Bradley: They aren't as brutal with y’all around, huh?
Arthur: This is unnecessary, Bradley. They didn’t do anything wrong at all. If only you can explain to them what was going on, the two would be able to list––
Bradley: Quit yer blabberin’! If ya don’t want to get thrown off, then hold on tight!
Akira: Ahhhhh!
Arthur: H-Hey. We’re gonna fall––
Snow - White: However, is he certain he can run and hide from us?
Location: Frozen Forest (Day)
Arthur: If we vanish all of a sudden, everyone will end up worried sick. We should go back to the last time we saw Snow and White and tell them what happened, Bradley.
Since no one’s around here, I can shoot as many rounds as much as I wanna!
✾ ✾ ✾
Chapter 2
Location: Frozen Forest (Day)
Bradley: If ya really wanna go back home, then just go home by yerselves, will ya?
Arthur: That’s clearly not what I wanted to say. If Lords Snow and White aren’t around, there’s no way we’ll be able to get back home.
Bradley: Tsk, we brought along someone who's being a pain in the ass...If ya wanna kill some time, how ‘bout blasting some rounds off, Central Princey?
Arthur: Huh? With a rifle?
Bradley: How boring to just stand there. Yer a scaredy cat over this, ain't ya?
Arthur: …
Bradley: Hmph. Those who only ever knew how to wield a sword or two will always hold themselves back.
Arthur: I'll try it out then.
Akira: Eh!? You’ll do it?
Arthur: Certainly, it’s such a big deal.
Bradley: You know how to use a rifle, don't ya?
Arthur: Oh no, I’m not familiar with rifles at all. May I ask for your help?
Bradley: Huuuh. How amusing of you to ask me for some coaching. Alrighty then, lemme go look for some targets first.
Arthur: Hold on. I’d feel ashamed if I end up shooting an animal. I’ll provide a substitute instead.
≪ Pernoctant Nix Zo ≫
Akira: Oh! He used the snow as a target!
Bradley: How disappointing...but I’ll let you go ahead for now. It's the beginner’s course anyways.
Try to blast ‘em off from what ya can see right now…all at once.
(BANG-!)
Bradley: Hahaha! You misseddd!
Arthur: This is off to not a good start...Looks like I need to continue practicing to get accustomed to this.
Say, Bradley. Is it okay if you can spare me some tips?
Bradley: Ya held the bottom way too low. Make sure yer holding onto the topmost part of the rifle grip.
Arthur: Hmm...so like this, right?
Bradley: Oh, and make sure to check if yer fingers are aligned within the area of frame, so that ya aren't leaving any gaps at all.
Arthur: I see! This will help become more stable to shoot. Is it alright to shoot another round?
Bradley: That’s what I’ve been talkin about'! Don’t ya dare miss one shot this time.
Bradley: Well, ya went from a egg that hatched into a chick now. However, I can’t say yer've become the master of the rifle yet unless ya got yerself a bullseye.
Arthur: Oh, I’ll make sure to get a bullseye for sure!
Akira: (Looks like the both of them are vibing very well...But is it really okay we don’t come back?)
✾ ✾ ✾Location: Frozen Forest (Sunset)
Location: North Country Field
Akira: When we first arrived here, there was a raging blizzard, but it cooled down all thanks to Oz’s magic.
Arthur: As expected from Master Oz. However, this place is still dangerous to go off alone. Make sure to stay safe, alright Master Sage?
Akira: Alright!
(BANG-!)
Akira: Whoa…! That sound we heard just now...Was that a gunshot?
Arthur: Maybe the noise came from the other side…?
There isn’t supposed to be anyone here aside just the two of us.
Akira: That might be…
Akira: Wait, it was Bradley the whole time?
Bradley: What’s up? Ya guys got some time in yer hands right now?
Arthur: What were you doing?
Bradley: Since I wasn’t allowed to use my rifle back at the manor, I’m blasting this bad boy away to loosen up while I’m still here.
Snow: Hey! Stop that, Bradley!
White: Halt at onceee!
Bradley: Dang it! Those old farts! I didn’t come all over here just to be babysit on! Hey guys, let’s get outta here!
Akira: Wait, what are you talking about…We're tagging along too?
Bradley: They aren't as brutal with y’all around, huh?
Arthur: This is unnecessary, Bradley. They didn’t do anything wrong at all. If only you can explain to them what was going on, the two would be able to list––
Bradley: Quit yer blabberin’! If ya don’t want to get thrown off, then hold on tight!
Akira: Ahhhhh!
Arthur: H-Hey. We’re gonna fall––
Bradley: ≪ Adnopotensum ≫
Snow - White: Aaaaaaaaaah!!
…
Snow: ...Good heavens, he’s on the loose.
White: Escaped in just in the nick of time.
Snow - White: However, is he certain he can run and hide from us?

Location: Frozen Forest (Day)
Akira: Is this...
Arthur: This place...we’re here at the Frozen Forest.
Akira: The Frozen Forest...Does this mean we’re still in the North?
Bradley: (Sighs) Looks like I used too much magic, eh? Welp, I’m sure those ancient ass farts won't be able to catch up to us any time soon.
Arthur: If we vanish all of a sudden, everyone will end up worried sick. We should go back to the last time we saw Snow and White and tell them what happened, Bradley.
Bradley: Who the hell are we comin' back for? I got to taste freedom at last, even if it's just a lil' bit. I’m free to do whatever I want!
Since no one’s around here, I can shoot as many rounds as much as I wanna!

(BANG-!)

Arthur: It hit...I was able to hit the target, Bradley!
Akira: You actually did it, Arthur!
Arthur: Yes, I did!
Bradley: Ya really did hit right on target. Wasn’t I the one who taught ya how?
Arthur: Ahahaha! You’re right. Thank you Bradley. It feels amazing to be able to finally hit the mark.
Bradley: Well, ya went from a egg that hatched into a chick now. However, I can’t say yer've become the master of the rifle yet unless ya got yerself a bullseye.
Arthur: Oh, I’ll make sure to get a bullseye for sure!
Akira: (Looks like the both of them are vibing very well...But is it really okay we don’t come back?)
✾ ✾ ✾
Akira: Amazing! Most of those rounds end up being bullseyes!
Arthur: Thank you, Master Sage. Everything’s going well.
Bradley: Don’t swallow yer tongue too fast. How about I challenge ya to a showdown against me?
Arthur: A showdown?
Bradley: A game that will settle for our dinner later. The loser will have to hand over to the winner their main dish.
Akira: Arthur’s just starting out on how to use the rifle properly and now, a showdown's about to happen…
Arthur: That’s absolutely fine, Master Sage.
May I ask more about the rules for this showdown, Bradley?
Bradley: The rules are simple. Imma summon a tree filled with fruits in a sec. The one who shoots everything down within 30 seconds wins.
Arthur: …
Akira: (Both of them are holding onto the grips of their rifles so tensely...It’s gonna be hard to judge properly.)
Now then…get yourselves ready now. Ready, set, and go!
(BANG-! BANG-! BANG-!)
Bradley: …
Akira: 29, 28, 27…
(The showdown has already begun, but Bradley isn’t moving at all...I wonder what's going on?)
10 seconds left!
Bradley: …
(BANG-! BANG-! BANG-!)
Arthur: !!
Akira: (The fruits fell down at rapid speed! Tons of them went down with just a single shot...)
3, 2, 1...Time’s up!
Arthur: Whew...Time sure flies fast.
Akira: (I still in awe he only learned it in a short time, Arthur did an amazing job though...)
The winner is Bradley!
Akira: (I still in awe he only learned it in a short time, Arthur did an amazing job though...)
The winner is Bradley!
Bradley: Well, I suppose that's valid all thanks to that 10 second handicap.
Arthur: I knew I was no match for him...But I still find it frustrating to taste defeat.
Akira: But you did well, Arthur. You were able to learn how to handle and use a rifle within such a short period of time.
Arthur: Thank you, Master Sage.
Bradley: Welll, I should give ya credit for not backing out and taking on the challenge, huh?
Akira: I'm still surprised Arthur took on your challenge until now.
Arthur: To be honest...I always think it's cool to see Bradley handling rifles and guns. But when I actually learned how to handle one, it made me realize how difficult it was.
Bradley: ...Huh, ya really get me, do ya? Ya were much better than I expected!
Arthur: I-I’m glad you felt that way, but there's no need to pat my head.
Snow - White: Yoohoo! There you are, Bradley, Arthur, and Sage!
Arthur: Ah…
Bradley: Ah…
Snow: Hmph, we came all the way to search for everyone because we were worried sick. Looks like you all were having fun.
White: 'Tis ought to be a long talk for sure.
