Alisa and the others tangled with the monsters. She and Myau ripped apart the Gold Lenses while Tyrone crushed the Skeleton with the swing of an ax.
“Phew, that was a good exercise,” quipped Alisa. (+1 CP, +50 MESETA)

“I hear you’re looking for Tyrone?” said a man who walked up to Alisa.
Alisa, who has been walking around hearing many things from people, met this man in the back of a tavern.
“Oh, are you… Mr. Tyrone?”
“No way. I’m no hero or anything like that. Tyrone isn’t here. He went out to go slay Medusa. It’s been about two days now.”
“Medusa…?”
“Ah, the terrifying monster that La Shiec brought back to life.” The man paused and looked at Alisa as if he were evaluating her.
“Hmm. Somehow, it seems like you and Tyrone had a common goal. You’re going after La Shiec, huh? If so, I can tell you something good.”
The man told her the location of a Tool Shop that secretly sells Road Passes.
“Alisa, is it an enemy!? We’re coming in!”
Tyrone and Myau burst into Alisa’s bedroom.
They saw the figure of the Nightmare and immediately lunged in to attack. However, the monster’s strength far surpassed their imagination.
Neither Tyrone’s ax nor Myau’s fangs could so much as leave a scratch on the Nightmare. The monster’s eyes had a sinister glow in them. At that moment, Tyrone cramped up and fell over. He was wrought with paralysis.
Without being able to put up much resistance, the Nightmare easily quelled them.
“Tyrone! Myau! – Ahh!”
A mysterious force grabbed Alisa and threw her to the floor. She thought to herself hazily, there’s no way to win against this monster…
Alisa talked to the residents in Parolit. “What, you’re going to Scion after this? You really shouldn’t. It’s extremely dangerous down at the coast, horrible monsters are said to appear,” said the chubby woman who Alisa walked up to chat with.
Yes, yes, everyone knows that. Alisa grumbled to herself. If she’s afraid of that, then what about La Shiec?
—At that instant, the sound of a scream could be heard. Alisa turned around and saw a man running by in a panic. He was being chased by the Robot Police! Is he a criminal, or…
“Ahh!” The moment Alisa stumbled, she fell down into the center of the Antlion’s nest.
“Alisa!” Tyrone reached out his hand. However, he didn’t make it in time! Suddenly, Alisa’s body was engulfed in the sand and she could no longer see. All that remained was for the Antlions to suck all the blood from her body…

“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 CP)
‘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 + BP (1-B)
Alisa & Party: CP + BP (2-E)
With a SCRAAAPE, the Scorpius came attacking! The monster moved in to attack Alisa while she wasn’t prepared!
The Scorpius and the girl became entangled in one another and tumbled to the ground. Eventually, the sound of a high-pitched shriek stopped their movement.
Alisa panted. “How DARE you come at me like that, you perv!”
She stood back up, trying to conceal her injuries. The decapitated remains of the Scorpius were strewn on the ground. (-1 HP, +1 CP, +10 MESETA)
Once again, Alisa began walking. On her way, she came up to the gates of the city of Parolit.
Rustle… Rustle… Alisa heard the sound of wings flapping overhead.
When she looked up, she saw a one-eyed creature glaring back at her. It was a creepy giant eyeball with two wings attached. A cave-dwelling monster, it was a Wing-Eye! Two of them!
2 Wing-Eyes: 3 + BP (1-C)
Alisa: CP + BP (2-I)
As Alisa and party were walking down the passage way, two giant spiders appeared! They feverishly wriggled their legs and blocked their path.
“Tarantulas!”
2 Tarantulas: 15 + BP (1-F)
Alisa & Party: CP + BP (2-D)
I need to get outta here now! Alisa ducked between the robot police’s legs.
However, soon there was another robo-cop blocking her path.
“Out of my way!” Alisa tried swinging her short sword at them, but it only grazed off the side of the robo-cop’s body, without injuring it. Conversely, the iron arm grabbed her and in one swing she was tossed into the road. Alisa lost her breath for a moment of intense pain.
“Ugh… stupid robot!”
“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, she 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.
