All alone in the Cathedral

On the way to St. Heim. Got a bit lost in the mountains. I hope I haven't missed the waterfall.
Ahaha... perhaps it's the first time I realised that Mareg and Roan didn't really get lost. They took so long to let Ryudo and Elena talk by themselves.
Ah, here's the waterfall. You won't miss it, it's right on the way.
Wow, that's a huge loaf over there (at the bakery in St. Heim). Why would they need to make one so large? :D
Weird people here, a girl who keeps forgetting what she wanted to ask Elena about... and I just love what this mad guy says: "Oh boy! Let me tell you, would I like to be investigated by Selene, late at night, all alone in the Cathedral ♥" - "Ha! She'd purify you before you could think another thought."
Ridiculous library rules :P
"This concludes my explanation of the library usage rules. Are there any questions?" - "Yeah, I've got one. How can you take this job seriously?!"
Mareg and Skye are advising Ryudo to be at least familiar with things that are boring to read.
"You guys have been hanging out with Roan too much."
(mimicking the style of the book) "Does not Ryudo tire of this? Does not he want to put his fist through this book? May his sufferings end quickly" xD
(Elena has left, Ryudo and the others are asked to go to the Cathedral) "Look, I realize word of my amazing singing voice has spread everywhere, but I'm not interested."
And some more: "Hey, I'm not so cheerful, OK...? OK. I am. So what..."
(to a woman talking about a stubborn squeak-baa) "I know just how you feel! I've had to take care of a one particularly stubborn anima-- er, Songstress..."
Almost all Ryudo's talking about is Elena xD
"Huh?! Ryudo, are you feeling ill? You spoke with such sincerity! It is such a departure from your usual cynical self." - "Shut your beak you mangy flying rat! There, same old cynical self. You feel better now?"
"Hey! Granas! This guy's praying his heart out!" - "Hey?" Is that how you address a divine being?"
Finally, we're about to leave St. Heim and head for Cyrum Kingdom, which means... I'll see Melfice soon! :D
(Skye) "... Oh my, bread crumbs... How delectable. Ryudo, stop laughing. It is not humorous. This happens everywhere we go..." - "What's this? A talking bird?" - the first and only person in the entire game to be surprised by a talking bird xD
That masochist guy again: "I don't expect her to stare straight at me, or hit me, or step on me with her high heels..." Yeah, sure.
"You see, I just hung out my laundry to dry. What would I do if the Day of Darkness suddenly came?" - "... I am not quite sure how to respond to this... I would think laundry would be the least of your concerns..."

Mirumu Village

Before leaving this part of Silesia, I've decided to go around all towns for one last time.
Ahaha, Elena and Kuko Berries xD "Oh... perfect. This is the last time you get looped around me, understand? And lose the puppy-dog eyes."
Yeah, I too am intrigued how they managed to put the ropes up for the Skyway :/
Ryudo still can't forget how Skye let him fall:
"Hell, he couldn't even keep me aloft when he tried to, according to him, "rescue" me" - "I should have let those lizards feast on you."
After a while, our party ended up stuck in Mirumu. Selene is going to "purify" the village from darkness.
"What is it with you and this "purify" thing? For some reason, I doubt your knights are packing soap and bubble bath in that armor."
"She means to kill them. I remember one village somewhere that was burned to the ground by Cathedral Knights..."
"That's some strong bubble bath."
I agree with Ryudo on this: "Prayer is just a tool to calm your mind. It doesn't matter who you pray to".
(Talking to Aira) "Yeah, she's a real nice lady. Not like that other church lady" - "Really?! Have you ever seen Elena right after she wakes up...? That's pretty scary..." xD
I love this scene, after the dinner. The music, the view from the window which rather looks like a picture, Zera's porcelain throne x) And Elena seriously believing for a moment that Ryudo would kill her.
I love how Ryudo cares about what happens to Aira. It's so not like him.
So that's how they imagine the soul? Interesting... my party is now in some place that resembles hell, and I'm about to fight the Eye of Valmar. I remember when I first played (I wasn't very good at RPGs, actually it was my first one) I had to try again and again for about 7 times. Now I'll see if the hard mode is really that hard. My strategy is this: those flying eyes are very annoying (and loud, by the way) and it's better to start with them, all the more so because they can be put to sleep easily. Of course, they're eyes x)
I didn't even have to use 'Snooze'. It somehow went so well... I guess I didn't give the Eye a chance to show its power, cancelling its attacks all the time xD Otherwise it might not have been so easy. Only by the end there was a moment when I started to worry, just a bit. I guess I've become too good at RPGs for this mode.
(Ryudo to Selene) "Shouldn't you be diving back into your crypt and gnawing at bones by now?"

Agear and Liligue

It's weird how quickly bad guys change their decisions in this game: get distracted by trifles and decide to deal with Ryudo some other time. Anyway, it will always stay a mystery to me what Millenia was going to do to him x)
Millenia and Paella arguing :D
P: "Yeah? What would a harlot like you know? You go prancing around the countryside in an outfit like THAT? Now THAT'S not too bright".
"M: EXCUSE ME? Listen here, you aging excuse for a woman. I got MUCH more to offer than your haggard self EVER could!"
And so on and so forth.
Now something happened to the sound...
(Ryudo to Roan) "For now. But if you slow us down or just piss me off, your butt will be skipping down Lollipop Lane on its own."
Sometimes it's good when Millenia goes mad with fury, but usually, it's a waste of SP :/
Carros are not much of use (especially when you're already going out when you've collected 3 Poff Nuts), but they're cute :)
(Elena) "That woman is evil incarnate! She brings nothing but sorrow and misfortune!" - (Gonzola) "That so? Then I reckon she ain't too much different from any other woman." (Paella is furious)
Enemies don't seem to notice me at all here, on Baked Plains... oh, now they notice.
I've tried casting "Zap" and nothing happened... but I'm still afraid to risk when I've done a lot since last saving.
"And still... after all these years.. No one has come up with a better name than "The Battle of Good and Evil."
How many things... I wonder how they manage to carry all of it, including the tent x)
There's no way Mareg could defeat Melfice by himself at this rate, when my party easily dealt with him... he was lucky to run into Ryudo first :D
"... if I listened to every piece of good advice I heard, I'd have killed all of you already and run off with your gold."
As I remember, talking to people in Liligue isn't very exciting, it's mostly about how they can't leave their jobs even though the situation is bad. But I just can't go past.
For some weird reason I want to try that arum root, even though it's like eating sand and has no flavour xD
It crashed again... I don't like this. I hope this won't happen while I'm exploring a dungeon or fighting a boss -_-
It happened at the same circumstances, I see, I just shouldn't talk to that girl.
Gadan keeps saying that Elena looks delicious. Ahah, well, she does resemble a cake in those clothes a bit :D
(Skye) "Why don't we just waste him?" (Ryudo) "That's why I like you, Skye. Always thinking." If I understand it right, they were talking of killing Gadan. Even though he's not the nicest person and is in our way... Ryudo, just in which way are you better than your brother?
"Pretty unreliable for a deity. If you want to keep your job as a supreme overlord, you should keep your naughty/nice list straight."
I wonder what Gadan used to be like...
"Whoa there, gumshoe! I don't recall "hunting down reawakening God of Evil" as being a part of my job description." And that's almost exactly what they ended up doing.
"... no passengers on the Skyway! There's profit in freighting cargo, not tourists".
"Well, Roan should have no problem boarding. He's baggage" xD
"I flew by bird once, and it wasn't exactly "incredible"... In fact, it hurt like hell" - "If someone didn't weigh so much..."
I'm about to fight the Tongue of Valmar and I've just thought... why not come all the way back to Liligue with Millenia? :D This doesn't make any sense, but hey, she has something to say.
"Say, Ryudo? You think this blockhead would fill his shorts with holy water if we told him about me?" This I did not expect to hear xD I knew it was a bad idea to go to the church with the Wings of Valmar.
Only that now I have to open the door again... well, that Millenia's line was worth it. And I've found a Sword of Light. Now, time to kick some ass!
"That voice is familiar... ahh... Gadan, Gadan. Let me guess... new haircut?"
