Skinny Boy: Hi Ari.
So you’re kind of ok
after all.
It must’ve been you, that Julia
was talking about, when she
said she liked someone else.
You guys’ll be good together!
You and Julia…(sniff, sniff)

Annie: Good going, Ari!
Nobody knew you existed before.
You’re almost cool now!
The whole village is noticing
you now!
He he he.
So now you know for sure!!
About Julia!
Julia’s all yours!
I know it, I know it!
Nice going you!

Pudgy Boy: Hey Ari!
I heard that you’re the one
who got us back the water!
You’re quite a guy, Ari!
No wonder you’re Annie’s
big brother!
Shop Other One:

Wise Old Lady: Oh Ari, thanks for coming.
Since you came here all the way
to see me,
I’ll tell you something useful.
The Church is this village still has
many mysteries yet to be solved.
But none can be solved overnight.
Only after solving many mysteries
can you come back and solve
the bigger mystery!

Villager in Trouble: Hi Ari, thank you.
I’m really glad the water’s running now.
The trouble’s over, now.
Eh? I look troubled?
I was born this way.
Sad, huh?

Tinker:

Cousin of the Blacksmith: The job’s sharpening
knives and sickles.
Boss has the skill,
but it’s wasted here.
I think what the boss
really wants to do it to make
swords for the best warriors.
Your grandpa used to make swords
before he hurt his back.
You didn’t know?
Your grandpa used to be a famous
swordsman when he was young.

Blacksmith Shop Owner: Hey Ari,
you’ve done it!
You’re really something!
Here at the blacksmith,
we make and sell
weapons and protective gear.
Well, this might not be the
place to find items for every
occasion. Hmm, let’s see.
Ah, this “Fruit Knife” should do.
Take this!
Great for eating fruit!

*Ari has acquired the “Fruit Knife”!*

Blacksmith Shop Owner: Sorry it’s not something cooler…
Oops, I’ve got to get going now.
Back to work!
I haven’t trained with
weapons for years now.
It’s a shame, being a blacksmith
and all. But nothing ever happens in
a village like this.

Bakery:

Bakery Woman: Oh Ari, I hear that
you’re the one
who saved the village.
Come on, act like a hero!
A hero should act with dignity!
Especially after
doing a good thing!

Bakery Man: Ha ha! She’s so happy for you.
Remember she cares about you.
She’s so very proud of what you did!

Loitering Villager: Hey, Ari.
Your standup comedy routine
was great!
According to my original survey on
”Tenel: Fun Boy Ranking”,
you are…
You’re one notch up from being
the lowest in rank!
That’s so cool, Ari!
Oh, by the way,
the Elder wants to see you.
Why don’t you go drop by?

Inn:

Landlord of the Inn: Phew, am I glad!
Water’s running again!
We’re back in business!
But this village’s so remote, we only
have guests once every 2-3 years.
I can’t live on just running an inn.
I earn my living serving food here.
Anyways, Ari, why don’t
I tell you what to do at an inn.
Ari: Responses: -No thanks.
-Yes, please.
-Don’t stay.
Landlord of the Inn: Okay, listen up.
”Rest” is what is says.
You stay for the night
to get some rest.
”Change Party Member” is for
when you want to change who’s
traveling with you, Ari.
Once you have enough companions,
you chose the team you want
to go out in the field with you.
Only 3, including you, Ari,
can take part in the fighting,
so think hard before you choose.
”Save” is for recording
the details of your travel
into this diary.
When you resume your travel,
you start from where you
left off in this diary.
These diaries aren’t everywhere.
If I were you, I’d make an entry
every time I see one.
That’s all.
So, what do you want to do?
