==Dialogue==
===Start===
Vermilion
: "Careful... it looks like it's going to... Watch out! The deer!" The golden deer suddenly attacks Rama. Vermilion calls out to Rama just in time, and he leaps clear of the deer's deadly assault.
Infernal Deer
: The golden deer stomps its hooves several times against the earth and lets out a snort, seemingly preparing itself to charge again.
Vermilion
: "No - wait! The deer is speaking to me... you won't believe this, but it's asking us for help!" Vermilion gives the irritable-looking deer a long and hard stare, apparently reading its mind.
Rama
: "Hold on. Vermilion, are you telling me that you can speak deer?" Rama asks in surprise, and not without skepticism.
Vermilion
: Vermilion slowly shakes her head. "No, it's not like that... I can feel its plea in my heart, somehow... Right now, I can feel its pain and suffering. After falling into the hands of the Demon King, it's been living in utter misery... The poor soul is begging us to remove the Demon King's spell..."
Rama
: "So, what do you propose we do? I am certainly all for helping, but an antler to the face is no laughing matter..." Rama asks Vermilion what she suggests they do, glancing warily at his former assailant.
Vermilion
: "All we have to do... is defeat it. Then, everything will go back to normal. That's what the deer says, anyway..."
Southern Star
: "Well, then. What are we waiting for? Shall we go ahead and take it down now, before something even worse happens to us?"
===Against <Blazing Falcon> Gadeo===
===Finish===
Vermilion
: "I think it's working... the spell is breaking!" As a twinkling light begins to grow brighter and brighter behind the deer's eyes, Vermilion halts her attack.
Infernal Deer
: "I owe all of you a great debt, for you have rescued my soul. If you hadn't broken the spell, I would have been under the Demon King's influence for all of eternity." The deer bows its glimmering, golden head, graciously thanking them.
: "I suppose you chased after me because you were seeking the Demon King. Is that so? I can tell you this much—halfway along his journey, he picked up a young woman and wrestled her into his chariot. He's on his way now to the Snowy Peak!"
: "I was under his orders to allow you to see and chase me, leading into you his trap."
: "Unfortunately, the Demon King has put far too much distance between us for us to have any hope of catching up with him now, but at the very least, I can lead you safely to the crossing in this forest in return for your great kindness to me."
Rama
: "Why, thank you kindly, golden friend of ours! That would be very helpful, indeed." Rama gratefully accepts the deer's offer, his former fear forgotten.
