“Cheese cake? Very well, come this way.”
With the robot leading the way, Alisa and her comrades were allowed to have an audience with the Governor.
“Ah, so you must be Alisa. I’ve heard you’re trying to take on La Shiec,” said the Governor, appearing from a back door.
The Machine Guarder began firing a beam gun at them.
“Damn, another robot?” Tyrone asked.
“This guy’s a battle-type, a Machine Guarder! But —” Alisa defiantly dodged one of the robot’s beams.
“His weak spot is the same as the other robots!” She drove her sword into the camera on its head. Tyrone then severed its head with his ax for good measure.
“Look out, duck!”
After shooting out blue sparks, the Machine Guarder exploded. (+1 COMBAT P, +1 MAGIC P)
“Phew — thanks to that, there’s a hole in the wall. We can escape from there,” said Tyrone.
Victory goes to one who makes the first move! Setting aim on their opponent, everyone attacked the enemy at once in an all-out onslaught. The robot began to emit a white plume of smoke and then exploded!
The scattered debris fell and hit Alisa and the others. (-1 COMBAT P)
“Ow, ow,” said Alisa, “but, it’s a good thing that he’s been cleanly disposed of. – Oh, what’s this, another fork in the road already?”
“Ah, short cake? Very well, very well. – Huh! Th-this is…!”
“Is there something wrong with the strawberry on top?”
“This is no strawberry! It’s the forbidden laerma berry! Who are you people!”
“Oww, jeez! A pit-fall trap!? That’s unfair!” (-1 HP, -2 COMBAT P)
‘What’s going on? He said something about a forbidden berry….” (Action Chart – Check “C”)
Alisa and the group dusted themselves off and stood up. The only one uninjured was Myau, who’s good at landing on his feet. In Myau’s eyes, there was the reflection of an enemy lurking in the shadows.
It was a robot with a red body. A Machine Guarder.
Machine Guarder: 12 + BATTLE P (1-B)
Alisa & Party: COMBAT P + BATTLE P (2-E)
Triada Prison.
On a whim, Alisa and her companions infiltrated the prison through the front gate.
“Hey! Who are you people?”
The gate closed behind them. A robot suddenly appeared before them.
“Oh no, we’ve been spotted already!? Remind me again who’s brilliant idea this was — who was the genius who thought that coming in from the front would ‘throw off the enemy’ and ‘catch them by surprise’!?
I need to get outta here now! Alisa ducked between the robot police’s legs.
“Click-vrrr… There is no escaping.”
Turning around, the robo-cop swiftly grabbed Alisa by the collar and lifted her up. For the mechanical arm, picking her up was as easy as lifting up a tiny kitten.
“Put me down, robo freak!” Alisa slashed wildly with her short sword.
“Resistance is futile. Such a small blade cannot damage my body.”
“In that case, take this!” Alisa thrust her sword into the robot’s eye, severing the camera in there. Fzz! Sparks came flying, as the robo-cop’s brain short circuit. (+1 COMBAT P)
Alisa was only just barely able to protect herself from the flying debris thanks to her leather shield.
“This way, Alisa!” said a voice.
Alisa was bounding between the buildings, from alley to alley.
“Aunt Suelo!”
“Shh!” The concealed woman put a finger across her mouth.
When the remaining robot police weren’t looking, they crossed the street.
“It’s all right now.”
This woman was Alisa’s only remaining family, her Aunt Suelo.
“You really should lay off this revenge business, it’s too dangerous! But who am I kidding, I know you’re not the type to listen to advice. Just remember to always come to me whenever you’re tired from battle, and I’ll cast healing magic on you. And please, my dear, don’t push yourself too hard, okay?”
“Thank you, Aunt Suelo. Don’t worry, I will stay alive. I have to, so that I can avenge my brother!”
Alisa gently squeezed her aunt’s hands before leaving.
Alisa used the polymeteral on the scrap heap. It has quite a strong effect; the scrap heap starts to melt into a pile of ooze and mud. Only things made out of Laconia remained.
“I found him! Do you think this robot is Hapsby?” Alisa asked.
“It’s not moving. Should I try kicking it?”
“S–stop that, please,” the robot suddenly stood up. “My name is Hapsby. I was constructed by Dr. Luveno.”
Thus, having recovered Hapsby, Alisa and the others returned to the village of Gothic.
(You can visit the village hospital. Pay 20 MESETA to increase HP by 5.)
When visiting the Doctor’s house, they received an introduction to the spaceship Luveno. Hapsby, the pilot-robot, joined the party. Now they can travel anywhere in the Algol Star System!
After the battle, Alisa and party decided to quickly head towards the spaceport.
(Hospital treatment is available within the spaceport to get your wounds healed. For 10 meseta, you can increase your HP by 2.)
Somehow the group manages to get on the last flight, and they arrive in Paseo on the planet Motavia. Upon arrival, they immediately attempt to visit the Governor’s Mansion.
“Who are you people?”
A guard robot standing at the gate obstructed the path.
“What, you came to see the Governor? Did you bring a gift? It better be something sweet.”
