Guy & Matthew
Level C:
MATTHEW: | Greetings, Guy. |
GUY: | M-Matthew! |
MATTHEW: | You seem well. Gotten used to the troop? |
GUY: | As much as could be hoped... |
MATTHEW: | That is good, then. Now, what shall I have you do next? |
GUY: | What!? I joined your army, I've paid back what I ate! |
MATTHEW: | Now, Guy, have you forgotten? One favor for one piece of meat, right?
You still owe me three Favors. |
GUY: | H-Hey, that's no fair! |
MATTHEW: | Don't try to play dumb with me. Look, you wrote it here on this
oathpaper yourself. |
GUY: | Grr... Demon! What grudge drives you to be so cruel to me! |
MATTHEW: | You're not one to mince words, are you? We had a deal. |
GUY: | Grr... I'll never give in! I challenge you--the stakes: that
oathpaper! |
MATTHEW: | Now why would I have to do something like that? |
GUY: | Ah--ah hah! You're just scared I'd beat you! |
MATTHEW: | Guy, no one's dumb enough to fall for that old ruse. |
GUY: | Ahh--quiet! If you're a man, you'll fight me! |
MATTHEW: | Fine, fine, have it your way. I'll take you on, just this once.
If you win, your debts are canceled. |
GUY: | R-Really? |
MATTHEW: | Yes. And...I get to choose the timing of the fight. |
GUY: | Then choose! My sword will never lose to yours! I'll show you just
how much I've learned! |
Level B:
MATTHEW: | Ah, Guy. Too bad about the fight, eh? |
GUY: | Y--You--! |
MATTHEW: | What? Got a problem? |
GUY: | Y-You're a coward, attacking me in my sleep like that! Your sword is
without honor! You hear me!? |
MATTHEW: | What do I care? I'm no knight. Speaking of knights... How do you
expect to succeed getting taken in by a simple night attack? |
GUY: | Yes, b-but...! |
MATTHEW: | Listen, Guy. There's a story of a famous knight you should know.
One day, this knight received a challenge. His opponent named a time
and a place, and he agreed. Then, when his opponent turned to walk
off, he cut him down right then and there. |
GUY: | T-That's cowardice! |
MATTHEW: | No, his opponent was weak to turn his back on an enemy. That is the
true nature of combat. Would you stand on the battlefield, calling
your enemy a coward? |
GUY: | Y-Yes, but... F-Fine, I get it! I lost! Fine! |
MATTHEW: | Good. Now you owe me four favors. |
GUY: | Grr... I won't lose next time. |
Level A:
MATTHEW: | Hello, Guy. That bump on your head getting any better? |
GUY: | Grr... |
MATTHEW: | You should know better than to try to sneak in when I'm sleeping.
You're really east to read, you know that? |
GUY: | I-I won't lose next time! |
MATTHEW: | Hey...Guy. Back in Sacae you were saying you wanted to become the
strongest knight of all. Is that your dream... or your goal? |
GUY: | Huh? |
MATTHEW: | If it's a dream, then be done with it. There are plenty of dreamers
with swords. Plenty stronger than you, plenty with more talent...
To be the strongest, you have to beat them all. |
GUY: | I-I know that! |
MATTHEW: | What will you do when you hit your wall? that one opponent you'll
never be able to beat? |
GUY: | ... |
MATTHEW: | When you hit that wall that you just can't get over... That's when
you'll realize. You're not special. You're a bit player, one of
the masses. |
GUY: | ... |
MATTHEW: | Most people give up then. They realize they're not young anymore,
they don't have talent. They think up some excuse why they don't
have to try. That's how they go on with their lives. |
GUY: | B-But I'm different! I won't end up like them! As long as I live,
I'll keep fighting! |
MATTHEW: | I see... Then, best of luck, Guy. I'm rooting for you. |
GUY: | Eh...? |
MATTHEW: | You're to become the best knight in Sacae, right? Then you'd best
beat me one of these days. And you'll have to get stronger to do
that. |
GUY: | Of course! I will! |
