Crusader

[Jack O]

*Yawn...*

It's quiet and boring, as per usual. Let's see if there's any Swordmen I can recruit today.

Eh...?

Ah! Yeah, our old leader back in the 1st Squad. Heh. I haven't seen him since we were disbanded.

Me? Yeah, I'm always busy recruiting future Crusaders.

We always welcome Swordmen

of great ability!

How does it sound? Why don't you volunteer to become a Crusader?

Last mission?

Eh, I don't really remember it.

Ah right. Our old leader.

Now I remember: He was

a pretty self righteous jerk

now that I think about it!

Can you believe he used to say that no one is more religious than him in this world?! That's egoism right there. And maybe insanity.

Anyway, everyone in the squad

took pride in their faith. When

you're having a rough time in the

real world, you depend on religion, you know?

Anyways, in the records about

our squad, it says that one of us was punished for insubordination, rebelling or something. That's

a complete lie.

During our final mission,

our old leader had a huge argument with one us over something we found. I remember it being some kind of godly artifact, but I can't clearly remember what it was.

Although there was an obvious dispute, I think it was our squad leader who was out of line.

I... I can't really say...

I can't for the life of me

remember how the guy who

argued with the squad leader

looked like. The higher-ups

musta did something to me...

Anyway, I know for sure that whatever that guy did, it wasn't insubordination. In fact, I think he might've been right!

That's all I can remember.

I better take some Green Herbs now. My head throbs like crazy whenever I think about that time.

Me? Yeah, I'm not doing so bad. Keeping busy recruiting future Crusaders. We welcome all

Swordmen if they show potential~

Huh...?

Why would

you want to know?

You tell him what you've read in the records for the 1st Squad. Afterwards, Jack O looks a little confused.

I might not be able to remember

a whole lot from back then, but the part about insubordination can't be right. I'm sure of that.

Our old leader was

so arrogant to the point

of being a little off his rocker.

I mean, normal people

don't say things like 'I am the most religious man in the universe! Kneel before me!' Yeah. Not a normal thing to say.

Anyway, if the squad

leader punished anyone for insubordination, I'm sure that it was unwarranted. I don't remember too much, but I'm sure of that.

Excuse me, I need to take some Green Herbs. Taking these seems

to be the only thing that works for my headache.

Jack O busily chewed

on some Green Herbs.

It seemed to greatly relieve him from the pain of his headaches.

Hey kid!

Ever think about

bein' a Crusader?

Basically, you'd be volunteering to be part of our military, as well as train for the Holy War.

If you have some faith and know how to wield a sword, you'll be more than welcome here.

Just think about my suggestion

and come back if you're interested. Alright then, see you later~

Are you interested in knowing more about Crusaders? Hahaha, I guess that must be the case.

By the way, bring a doll to

the kid in front of me. If you're lucky, she'll give you something neat in return. What it is, I don't know. I've got no dolls.

In accordance with the Crusader code, I'm not supposed to lie. So yeah, you can trust me!
