#### Combat Dialogue

* Oooh, you’re so scary, I almost dropped my weapon!
* Can you even stand still? You aren’t quakin’ to your bones, are ya?
* Just take one hit, it’ll feel so nice. For me, of course!
* Now how will I smack that guy…

**Victory Cry*** C’mon~ We’ve yet to face the real enemies, right? This can’t be it~
* Books aren’t really fun to stomp or anything…
* Don’t be ridiculous. I wasn’t even getting started, and you’re done already?
* Maybe I’ll tear these bookcases apart to vent my feelings?
* I wouldn’t have come here if I knew this is all you’d offer.

**Death*** I can’t… lose in a place like this…!
* Haha! Ha… That got me good.
* I hate… getting hurt. Damn it…
* They were… strong.
* It’s my fault for being careless. But, but…

**On Ally Death*** Hm? Did someone just die? Too bad!
* I knew you’d die like that one day~
* Oh really. That’s all it took for you to go down…? Real impressive, buddy.
* They didn’t have anything to do with me, so why bother?
* Nice. That’s one less obstacle to get in my way!

**On Kill*** Haha! You guys should’ve seen how shaky this one got just now.
* Maybe I could’ve let you land a hit or two as consolation?
* Shoulda dodged that, buddy~ Welp, no point regretting when you’re dead.
* What’re you, a water balloon… I only slightly poked you, palio?
* Lame~ This is boring. Got anyone better?

## Stats

#### Combat Dialogue

* I could easily dodge all your attacks with my hands in pockets man.
* Why don’t you just hand over the goods before we mess you up real bad?

**Victory Cry*** Huh, so it was this easy to make a fortune and straighten out my life?
* Don’t you ever tell anyone that you’re guardians of cool treasures or anything. I’m honestly embarrassed for you.

**Death*** Can’t believe I’ve lost against these suckers… Dammit…
* They were predicting my moves…

**On Ally Death*** That’s what you get for standing around and taking all those hits to the face.
* Idiot. You stood still and took it all.
* Well, shoot… Guess you never really know how things will go, huh.

**On Kill*** I’d have crushed your head to bits if we weren’t in this weird place.
* Tsk, and I got a brand new weapon, too… You’re too weak to test it on.
* C’mon, try to hold out for longer so I can actually enjoy this!!!

#### Combat Dialogue

* Careful there. This is gonna hurt bad if it hits you in the wrong spot.
* We’re fully prepared for this.

**Victory Cry*** Well, money is one thing, but it’s just a bit too anticlimatic to turn into books right after death.
* I was expecting to have some small fun with your bodies, like tearing them apart and hanging ‘em on a hook. …That’s a bit unfortunate.

**Death*** It’s… not over yet… I can’t fall to the likes of you, I’m better than that…!
* They got me good… This can’t be happening…!

**On Ally Death*** A fitting end for a rash idiot like you.
* I’ll avenge your death.
* Should have been a bit more careful.

**On Kill*** Why’d you bother holding out if you were gonna get wrecked anyway.
* What? Come on, you can’t die so soon, I didn’t even get started with the real fun.
* Weaklings, weaklings everywhere.

#### Combat Dialogue

* I’m gonna crush you all, so get ready!
* Get ready. I am gonna win this for sure.

**Victory Cry*** Haha, this is way too easy! We barely did anything.
* This is our chance to earn the favor of our boss. Time to earn some riches~

**Death*** What the heck… I was too careless. Lame, lame, lame lame!
* These fucks… are strong… Dammit, I thought I could make it through this…!

**On Ally Death*** It’s not all too pleasing to see my colleague die.
* And you boasted so much about how you’re the strongest. …That’s what ya get.
* You know how lame it is to be a burden till the end, yeah?

**On Kill*** I wanna slash you some more, but… You’re already a mess, so I’ll hafta move on.
* Whoever stands in my way is getting wrecked, that’s all.
* How does it feel to be on the receiving end of my thrilling blade?
