Let’s explore the town first…
First we check the mysterious building…
In the middle of the main street stands a large, mysterious building. It's been bugging me for a while now.
Sill didn't say anything about it....What the heck is this building?
Well, whatever. I'll figure it out if I go inside.
Alright, let's go.
I headed to the mysterious building.
(Slam)
I opened the door gallantly.
Inside, a few warriors were lounging around. They all looked young and weak.
Hmph, nothing but trash.
The tallest among them approached me.
WTF is that thing?
"That's right."
"I'm Kiseda Espira, the Chief of the Youth League."
"You're the first visitor to our town in 30 years, Rance-san. Welcome."
The man started speaking courteously.
"Fine, I'll accept your warm welcome."
"By the way, you said I was the first visitor in 30 years, but.. even though this is the country, is it really so dead that no one's come through in 30 years?"
"So are we really the first in 30 years?"
"I mean exactly what I said. Rance-san, you're the first foreigner to come to town in 30 years. Though to me, you're the first person I've ever seen who isn't from this town."
"It's a filthy town, so I understand why no one would wanna visit."
"No, that's not it."
"Then it really is that hag at the diner's..."
"It isn't that either. It's not that no one comes to the town.. Rather, it's that no one is able to come.. No one can get here."
"Hm??"
"What the hell are you saying? I don't understand what the fuck you're talking about."
"Please tell me how you came here. A magic passageway? A flying ship?"
"Wait a second.. what do you mean? You mean you can't come to or leave this town?"
I dont like where this is going...
A fat guy went up to Kiseda and whispered in his ear, eyeing me suspiciously.
"...There's no way..."
"Will you tell me what the fuck you're goin' on about already?"
"...Rance-san, could it be that you don't know where this is?"
"I dunno, some kinda frontier country town. I got sent here by the God of Light, so I dunno where it is."
"You were sent here... So you didn't intend to come here..?"
"Of course not. I'm gettin' out of this backwater hell hole as soon as I can."
"..........."
"............."
"Ahahahaha.. Hahahaha.. Hahahaha."
"Chief..."
"Ah.. how disappointing. We can't leave this town after all."
"Ah... So he was just a boring foreigner.. ya know."
"Rance-san, you came here by chance. But you won't be able to leave, I'm afraid. You'll have to live here with us."
"Why?"
"......... Hey, Kaone, explain."
Great.
"You're unlucky. You won't be able to return to the surface ever again, ya know."
"What, but that's..!"
"That's why no one ever comes.. and why no one can leave."
"........."
"And that's why you're our first visitor in 30 years."
"......."
"I had hoped for a brief moment that we'd be able to return to the surface the same way you came, but.... I guess we can't."
Seems like Sill and I got sent to a floating continent by the God of Light's prank.
.............
"The surface??"
"Yes. We were born and raised in this town, so.. we want to know about the surface."
"Hm, is this like country folk admiring life in the big city? Well, I guess I'll tell you about surface cities, being a Surface Researcher myself."
"Please."
"Wow.. that's amazing!"
"Hm, isn't it? Also, there's amazing cuisine all over the place that just melts on your tongue. The food in this town's like Hanny feed in comparison."
"...That's amazing, ya know."
"Also, you can always have a fun time with busty beauties. They do all sorts of things to service you."
"Ohh.. that sounds awesome!"
"Gahahahahahaha, I bet you're jealous!"
.
...Well, there were a few(?) lies mixed in, but I'll let these idiots dream a little.
.............
We try to get some info from these losers.
"This town is called Cassado."
"I know that much. Why the hell are you guys living in a place like this anyway.. were you sent here after doing something bad?"
"We're the descendants of an exploration team from the country of Dallas."
"Exploration team??"
"Yes, they came to explore this Toushin Toshi. Recklessly, I suppose."
"An elite team of 87 traveled to the Toushin Toshi using the transport device at the ruins of Saioma. They were only traveling to their death though."
"The explorers came to this floating city.. later, they found out it was a Toushin Toshi, and investigated as best as they could."
"And everyone was overjoyed that they'd managed to find these ruins of a highly advanced ancient civilization. But..."
"A large number of unexpectedly powerful monsters were living on this Toushin Toshi. The monsters attacked the exploration team."
"The exploration team was composed of the finest warriors, but after however many battles with the monsters, they started sustaining casualties."
"The survivors waited for help to come.. and decided to live here.. And that's Cassado."
"Hmm, so you're descendants of those losers, eh?"
"...I'm not too happy about your wording, but that's correct."
………………
"This Youth League manages all goings-on in the town."
"Rance-san, if you're going to be living in this town, you're going to have to obey the Youth League."
"No way."
"Please don't say that.. those are the rules."
……………
"There are also a total of five towers on this continent, ya know."
"Every few years, some fool will play hero and try to explore the inside of the tower, but no one's ever accomplished anything... ya know."
"If you value your life, you shouldn't do anything stupid like that, ya know. If you just give up and live here, you'll find that life in this town isn't all that terrible, ya know."
.................
Next I enter the Yocchan shop...
"What a weirdo. Putting -chan on her own name."
Yocchan "That's not it. If you put a -chan after my name, it'd be Yocchan-chan, and a -san would be Yocchan-san."
Yocchan "Next is him."
Yocchan indicated the strange creature. It's a creepy-looking pudding-colored thing clinging to the table.
Yocchan "This is Mr. Reagan, the owner of the shop."
Reagan "Pabuu.. pabuu..."
"Th.. this weird thing!!? No way."
Yocchan "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Mr. Reagan's the richest man in town. He's also my employer."
Reagan "Pabuu.. pabuu."
"Hmmmm?"
"Why."
"...How arbitrary..."
Yocchan "If you don't like it, you don't have to buy anything. Of course, this is the only shop in this town."
"Ooh..."
Yocchan "If you're a good kid, I'll sell you stuff cheap. You can be good, can't you?"
…………
"What's the favor? It'll depend on what it is."
Yocchan "Well.. I'd like you to deliver something that was mail ordered."
"You can deliver it yourself, can't you? Don't slack off, do your damn job."
Yocchan "The person who ordered it is named Happy Fukuda, but I don't know where he lives."
"...Ask him his stupid address next time."
If I remember correctly.. if her affection goes up, everything'll be cheaper. Alright, let's do it.
"Fine, I'll deliver it."
Yocchan "Thank you, Rance-san. These are the goods, a
'Pintel 486'."
"What's this little round rock thing??"
Yocchan "I don't really know, but I think it's computer parts."
"Hmmm, this is?"
I spun it around.
Yocchan "You shouldn't be rough with it. It's worth 2,000 gold."
"What, this rock is??"
Yocchan "Anyway, please deliver it to Mr. Happy Fukuda."
………
We can also ask her about her affection level towards Rance…
Yocchan "Let's see, Rance-san ranks at...."
"Whaat!"
We have the option to "Assault" what should we do? Assault her now and hope for the best, or try to make her happy?
C&C
.............
Next we visit the temple...
We see a weird statue.
(POTATO GOD?)
So I'm gonna destroy it.
I drew my sword and swung at the weird statue.
"Deaaaah!!"
... "Kya!!"
"???"
"Eh.. a girl..??"
... "This is a holy chuch. Please put your sword away."
"...Sure."
... "You must be the foreigner I've been hearing about. What were you planning to do with that sword?"
"...Pray."
... "Pray?"
"Yeah, I dunno how it is in this town, but where I come from, we pray with our swords in the air."
... "I see. I apologize. It seems.. I misunderstood."
"No, it's fine. Everyone makes mistakes. More importantly, wanna go on a date?"
... "I absolutely cannot! Ahh... Younashi-sama..! I doubted an innocent person!"
That's a potato for sure.
Younashi-sama "It's okay, it's okay. Cynthia-chan, this man is to blame for your sins."
Cynthia "Thank you very much."
Younashi-sama "Well then, fareweeeeeell..!"
"..What was that??"
"....You sure about that..?"
Cynthia "And I'm Cynthia, Younashi-sama's priestess. I'm terribly sorry about earlier."
"Well, uhh.. it's fine, I guess..."
Cynthia "Hmmmm."
Cynthia's staring at me.
"Heh, I see you've fallen for me, Cynthia-chan."
Cynthia "That's not it. You're the famous Rance-san from the surface, right?"
"Oh, you've heard of me.. no, I guess it's natural that the town would be full of rumors about me."
Cynthia "Yes, that the person who came from the surface is a useless, hopeless burden who gets easily carried away.. *gasp*!"
"What, a burden?!"
Cynthia "Aahn, Younashi-samaaa..!"
Younashi-sama "What's wrong, Cynthia-chan?"
Cynthia "Even though I'm supposed to be a servant of God, I accidentally told Rance-san all of the rumors about him!"
Cynthia "You're supposed to keep quiet about bad rumors though.."
Cynthia "Aaaaah.. I've wounded Rance-san's poor heart. Even if the rumors are true, still..."
Younashi-sama "It's okay, it's okay. All of your sins are forgiven, Cynthia-chan."
Cynthia "Thank you very much."
Younashi-sama "Farewell."
"........."
Cynthia "Younashi-sama has forgiven me, so please forget what I just said about those rumors."
We look at her for a description:
"She looks pure, so I'm sure she's a virgin. But I guess this girl will fall prey to some violent man in the future and have her petals scattered...Before that, I should, hehe.. "
"Assault" is not a valid actions since her chastity is protected by the potato god, for now...
.....
She has a request for us...
Cynthia "You're an adventurer, right, Rance-san?"
"Right."
Cynthia "Can I ask you for a favor? It's just a simple request."
"Well, it'll depend on what it is."
"....."
Cynthia "The day before yesterday, a group with an armored warrior I'd never seen before appeared and kidnapped my sister. So you know, I'm worried about her, I guess..."
"You guess..? Isn't that a big deal? She's your sister, isn't she?"
Cynthia "I suppose. Well.. she's my sister, so... If possible, I'd like you to save her."
"Is this Alicia a beauty?"
Cynthia "Relatively, I suppose, though not as much as me."
"........."
"Well, whatever. I'll save Alicia, but I'll need a reward..."
"Heh?"
Cynthia "Well then, I'll leave it to you."
....Hmmm, this just doesn't seem real.
.........................
She also sells stuff...
Yeah sure....
But enough religious experience for now...
We visit the tower in town...
Let's see what Sill is up too...
I'm raiding the evil diner that's holding Sill captive. Just watch, hag.
"Welcome to.. Oh, Rance-sama!"
"Hmph."
"...Are you angry, Rance-sama?"
"Of course."
She looks really cute... Can't hold.
(Steam steam)
Man, from up close, waitress clothes are pretty sexy too!
Of course she's sexy, she's my woman!I wanna do it, I wanna do it soon, I wanna do it now!
"Dah.....!"
"Kya.. Rance-samaa.. please stop! You can't!"
"Shut up, you're mine! I'm free to do with you what I please, when I please!"
Sill resisted with all her might, but I used both hands to yank her legs open.
"It's no use! Now, let's have some fun!"
"Rance-sama.. you can't! Not here..!"
"Shut up!"
(Slap)
She was resisting too much, so I gave Sill a good slap.
"....."
When I reached out to Sill's panties...
Ok, I get it. Time to grind...
I order some food (for free) and replenish HP.
Apparently the Western Tower is open. We will head there.
While we are leaving town...
"Hey, hey, where's Rance.. hey."
"Please wait a bit longer, Princess..."
"...Ooooh."
"I see it."
"Yay, yay!"
The crystal ball showed the hazy figure of a single man. It was the man with the green clothes.. him.
"Kya.. Darling's so cool!"
"Kya.. kya.. kya.. Darling! I love youuu!"
"Quiet please, Princess.. so.. the location is..."
The crystal ball glowed again, and this time.. showed a continent floating in the sky.
"Hm.. what is this thing?"
"Ylapu...."
(Ylapu. Aka
LAPUTA. Aka The Whore.)
"??"
"So Darling's there, right? Let's go, let's go, let's go get him right now!"
"Just wait, Darling! Lia's coming for you..."
Well, having a crazy stalker girl behind you has it's perks.
In the courtyard of the same Leazas Castle, development of a mysterious vehicle (the Tulip #4) was being carried out with Maria Custard at its center.
"Hmmm, this thing.. it'll fly??"
"Aww, you don't believe me? It's perfect, you know. Science will overtake magic power one day..."
"Yeah, yeah, I got it."
"Look forward to next week."
"We can't take it that slow."
"Why?"
"They found Rance..."
"They.. where is he?"
"I kinda.. wish he could have wandered a bit more before being found."
Shizuka pointed to the giant continent floating above Leazas.
"*Achoo*."
"A sneeze, eh? Somebody's talking about me."
"I'm so popular.... Then let's get going."
......
Man, what a stupidly huge field...Umm, I wonder if there's something interesting around.
.......Looking for interesting things.....
Tch, there's nothing interesting at all.
So this is the meadow on top of the floating continent called Toushin Toshi...
If there's anything weird about it, it's probably thehuge tower with the other four towers in the east, west, south, and north surrounding it.
The one tower in the middle of the others is right in themiddle of town.
Anyway, seems like there's nothing I can do except checkout the towers.
........
We visit the western tower.
The tower is huge. And the door is huge too, and really solid. But it's unlocked...
The door opened easily despite being so big. It's 'cause I'm so strong.
Well, let's explore.
I entered the West Tower.
...
..Haniho.. Roar.. Squeal...
......Monsters, eh..?
Looks like there are monsters in this tower. Well, time to put my skills to use.
A Hanny hides quicky from Rance.
"Well, why don't I get to work."
"Get to work." <-Echo
"To work." <-Echo
"Work." <-Echo
Man, I feel so empty when I'm all alone with no one totalk to. Even that idiot Sill's better than nothing, but that stupid old hag.. I'll never forgive her!
This is the main dungeon interface, we navigate with the mouse.
With the right button you can acess several options...
We can acess a general map of Toushin Toshi...
When camping we recover HP and Stamina.
Search is used in interesting places.
And Look is used to find monsters...
We encounter a KyanKyan a mostly harmless GalMonster.
After a few attacks she falls to 1HP.
ASSAULT
"Gahahahahahaha, loving, flexible sex with me is the funnest thing in the world for girls!"
I restrained the struggling KyanKyan and shot her up with love.
..............
Defeated all enemies. Everyone received 0 points of experience. (No XP when assaulting).
I move north. There are stairways there...
"Shit, this is Sill's fault. I can't get past this stupid sand 'cause she's not here... guh!"
.........
I check the lateral rooms...
A couple of Pig Bambara, this world's Orcs.
I attack the first one: "Ham Bambara took 7 points of damage. Ham Bambara's remaining HP (20)"
Ham Bambara brandished a sword.
Rance "Gwaaah!" Rance took 9 damage. (Remaining: 16)
Fuck. We get the hell out before the other one joins for the party...
Seing how the difficult encounters are easy to get this won't be easy...
Are we doomed to grind KyanKyans until our level gets high enough?
We will see in the next update.
