===Go to Boulder Town and chat with Natasha===
;(Approach Natasha)
:Natasha: (Trailblazer), long time no see!
:Natasha: How have you been lately? I hope you haven't run into too much trouble on you path.
;(If has been completed)
: I almost met my end in a dream.
::Natasha: Does that have to do with... that place called Penacony? I've heard about it from IPC workers stationed in the Underworld. I hear you all contributed a lot to liberating that "prison planet," much as you did for Belobog.
::Natasha: It is important for you all to take care of your own health as you carry out your mission of helping others as passengers of the Astral Express... This is the only suggestion I can give you as a doctor.
;(If has been completed without being abandoned)
: I was almost... stricken... with mara.
::Natasha: Mara-struck... That sounds like a hard sickness to handle. Fortunately, you stand before me today in perfect health. That must mean that you overcame these struggles, correct?
::Natasha: If you feel tired, you must rest properly. If you fall ill, you must take the medicines your doctor recommends. Though I may not have been to many worlds, I imagine these simple truths are applicable anywhere. Take care of yourself, (Trailblazer).
: The Astral Express blasts away all troubles!
:Natasha: Haha... I never imagined that the Astral Express had such a function. This Aeon of Trailblaze that you follow truly has every possibility covered.
:Natasha: Allow me to get back to my original point. The Astral Express is always on the move and any time you and I can meet is precious. Something strange has been happening in Belobog these past few days...
:Natasha: Many residents have said that they were being pursued by a dark shadow. Some were even scratched and clawed by it. Yesterday alone I treated about a dozen victims with scratches all over their arms.
:Natasha: Not a single one of them has any idea about what this thing is - Until today when a "new friend" came to see me. He said he could solve all of this, but we must find "you" first...
:???: Hah, transform!!!
:???: Phew... Hoo... Phew... I spent so long practicing that debut pose and I finally got to use it! Look, a 720-degree spin jump! Do you know how much core strength that takes? Look how ripped my abs are!
:Natasha: This is the "new friend" I mentioned: Mr. Litter Pony. He's really something, right? He asked me to find a "young gray-haired who loves trashcans." My instincts told me that must mean you.
: You know me?
::Litter Pony: Are you really going to pretend that you don't know me after what you did to me? So cruel~
: What are you doing here?
::Litter Pony: Are you shocked? I'm only here in this world because I have no choice.
: Litter... Pony?
::Litter Pony: What? My secret got exposed already? Indeed, that is not my real name. It is a pseudonym that I created based on my favorite anime. It's the story of six trashcans that save the world using the powers of love and magic. Are you... also a fan?
::Litter Pony: My real name is Pony Faust Swift Baudelaire Collodi. You can use my real name if you prefer... it just takes up a lot of time.
:Natasha: According to Mr. Litter Pony, these shadowy creatures hail from the same world as he does... I have a question. Belobog has never experienced an invasion like this before. Why would they be here causing trouble now?
:Litter Pony: Ah! These folks are a species famous for... wanting to make friends!
: Really? There's no catch?
: Out of my way. I have social anxiety.
:Litter Pony: But there's something missing in their brains. They don't know how to make friends normally. All they know is using their brute strength to coerce others and mistaking others' fearful subservience for "friendship." We have been attacked and harassed by them and are scared to the core of our little garbage hearts.
:Litter Pony: They have a terrible reputation in my world, so they decided to come to the real universe and grab some human friends. As far as I know, the first step of their plan was to learn some human games... These attacks have actually been them learning how to play your game of hide-and-seek!
: How can we stop them?
: I'll play hide-and-seek with them.
:Litter Pony: You mustn't indulge them! If they really do make friends using these violent methods, they will only get more brutal. If that happens, it will be a bloodbath!
:Litter Pony: If you ask me, there's only one thing we can do... We have to teach them what true friendship is! So... Use the Magic of Friendship with me to purify them!
: This is my specialty.
::Litter Pony: Hm, just what I expect from my chosen one! We need to hurry up about it.
: I refuse.
::Litter Pony: But... If you refuse, do you know what will happen to your friends...?
: Can't we do something a bit less childish?
::Litter Pony: You're calling me childish...? Children are the ones who like the grimdark, brutal, and horrible stories! It's adults who like love and magic! If you say no, do you know what might happen to your friends?
:Litter Pony: They're currently learning how to celebrate a friend's birthday. When that time comes, your friends will be tied to a chair, surrounded, and have the Happy Birthday song sung to them 33,333 times! Is there any crueler fate in this world!?
: So, how are we supposed to use this... Magic of Friendship?
:Litter Pony: Let me explain... I will need to borrow the power of your strong friendship with your Belobog friends. After all... I have no friends in this world, hahaha!
:Litter Pony: I shall react to the place with the strongest Magic of Friendship in the city, and send my avatar to that location.
:Litter Pony: After that, you will need to obtain a Proof of Friendship that represents your friendship... Once you are successful, I will be able to use your Magic of Friendship and defeat the dark shadow creatures alongside you! You just need to follow the signal sent by my clone and find me.
:Natasha: I'm counting on you this time as well, great hero.
