Tartufi

[Tartufi]

Annoying flies. Annoying mosquitoes. Just annoying. I miss mom and dad.

[

Tartufi?

You've been troublesome enough. What's up with you all today? Tiger strike wasn't enough? You all tiger moths or something?

Look, I'm not a basilisk.

Who are you? Your clothes are weird and you look weird. Where did Magchi go?

Magchi was injured during a patrol and went back. And I'm from the new world.

I see. You're from the new world. But what about Magchi?

Basilisks went on a rampage and he injured his leg. Another vigilante took him, so I'm sure he returned safely.

Yeah? Then That's a relief. But I don't know what's gotten into these creatures. They were quiet just until now.

Well, I was after the basilisks just before.

What? You went after the basilisks? You?

Uh... yes. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

No, no. I'm not saying what you did was wrong. But can you tell me more about that?

I was asked to find some basils. I heard that I can find them from the basilisks, so I came all the way here to catch them. I guess that must've excited them.

I see. Then are you strong? You said you caught some basilisks.

Well, I guess you can say that...

Magchi just drove off the basilisks that came this way every day. That was enough, but without Magchi, they are bothering me again. So annoying.

So That's why you're breathing out fire.

Because it keeps them away for now.

The port is smothered in fog because of that smoke. So I came to investigate since the boats can't set sail.

Set sail? Ah, right. You said you were from the new world. Then can I ask for a favor? Please tell their chief to keep them quiet.

His name is Imoogi. I don't know where he lives, but there's something up there that can communicate with Imoogi. Basilisks go there every morning and hear something...

I see. Sorry about the basilisks. I'll take care of it.

Okay. See you later.

Did you get to talk with Imoogi? What did he say? Not yet? Hurry up. The basilisks are so annoying.

You here. So how did it go?

[You tell Tartufi about the story of Lord Imuk and Yeouiju.]

Yeouiju? What's that?

I'm not exactly sure, but It's a must-have to become a dragon and ascend to the heaven.

Whatever it is, I'll look for it. It should take some time to look for it here somewhere. But in the meanwhile, can you take care of them?

I will. How long would it take?

I don't know. Perhaps 200 years or so?

200 years?

Think about it. It takes about that much time to search through everything here. On top of that, I don't even know what Yeouiju is.

Anyway, I'll look for it, so you take care of them. Just today. Tomorrow, perhaps Magchi will come and get rid of them. But today, you do it. I heard It's because of you.

Fine. If you by any chance find that Yeouiju, please tell Lord Imuk.

I'll think about it. I don't even know what that is. I can't promise you without knowing what it is.

I guess you're right. I can't wait forever so I should get rid of those basilisks. How many should I take care of?

Get rid of 20 or so and they won't come near from fear.

No, not yet. They keep coming. I said not yet.

Did you forget? You must get rid of at least 20 basilisks before they get quiet.

Whew. All taken care of.

Good job. That should keep them quiet now. I'm going to look through my treasure but I need to sleep first. I'm sleepy cuz I've been up for so long today.

Yes. I'm sure Lord Imuk will wait as well.

Fine. You're boarding on a ship, right? I hope you get to your destination safely.

Thanks. I think I can sail off in a nice weather.

No prob. Farewell, then.

I heard you're boarding on a ship. Shouldn't you hurry?

Zzz... zzz...
