### Nouvelle Trio de Harushiro

*[Early in the morning, Harushiro invites Paru and Nikkel to have a conversation.]*

**Paru:** Harushiro call Paru all morning. Paru wonder what wrong?

**Harushiro:** Ahem! I wanteds to assemble you all, you who haves looked after me...in this historical moment! That's why I calleds you.

**Nikkel:** "This historical moment"? Well I'm not really interested in it, whatever it is...

**Paru:** Can Paru eat "historical moments"?

*[Paru's cluelessness makes Harushiro stomp with anger.]*

**Harushiro:** It's not food! Just follows me, and stop your rambling. You won't regrets it!

**Nikkel:** We won't regret it, will we?

**Harushiro:** Nope!

**Paru:** Okay, Paru goes with Harushiro. Paru look forward to meeting historical moment person.

*[Nikkel begins to blush.]*

**Nikkel:** Maybe this historical moment involves a date? Or even a wedding?

**Harushiro:** ...Clearly I should haves chosen differently. Just follows me, you noisy bunch.

*[As the trio exits the town, Stix and Kotomio cross paths.]*

**Stix:** Kotomio! Good morning, there.

**Kotomio:** Good morning, Stix. Have you happened to see Harushiro?

**Stix:** As a matter of fact, I just passed him heading out with Paru and Nikkel.

**Kotomio:** Is that so? He hasn't eaten anything for breakfast. Where does he think he's going?

*[As they talk, Robin and Chabo walk by.]*

**Kotomio:** Ah, morning, Robin! You haven't seen Harushiro, have you?

**Robin:** I did. He said he was heading to the Sun Spire.

**Kotomio:** The Sun Spire? Why that place again...?

**Stix:** He's not still intent on opening up the sun, is he?

**Robin:** I didn't get that impression from him. Rather, I got the sense that he was gallivanting off to a picnic. He said something like, "I'm going to proce to everyone how much of an ogre-blooded boy I can be." ...Okay, maybe not a picnic...

**Stix:** Proving how much of an ogre-blooded boy he is? I mean, it's becoming obvious that he's jealous of Jezel, but to go to that extent?

**Kotomio:** Whatever it is, I hope he doesn't cause a scene, as foreboding as it does feel...

**Robin:** After everything you two went through, no doubt you're worried. Chabo, could you check on him for us?

**>**[Understood.]

**Kotomio:** Thank you, Chabo. Hopefully you can stop anything bad from happening before it starts.

*[Chabo nods.]*

**Stix:** Allow me to accompany you, Chabo. Let us proceed together.

**Robin:** Stay safe, you two!

*[Stix and Chabo leave. Once they do, Jezel approaches Kotomio and Robin.]*

**Jezel:** Good morning, Robin, Kotomio.

**Robin:** Good morning, Jezel.

**Jezel:** Kotomio, I want to ask you something...

**Kotomio:** What is it, Jezel?

**Jezel:** The bag that I leave on my pillow, have you perchance laid eyes upon it?

**Kotomio:** A bag? No I haven't, I'm afraid.

**Jezel:** I see...

**Robin:** Was there something important inside?

**Jezel:** Ahh... But it's okay. Even if someone else took hold of it, it wouldn't be a problem.

**Kotomio:** Okay, why don't we nonetheless look for it together?

**Jezel:** Thank you. ...Where's Harushiro, by the way?

**Kotomio:** Harushiro and some others left early this morning to the Sun Spire, apparently.

**Jezel:** The Sun Spire? Oh no...

### A Sun of Long Ago

*[Paru and Nikkel follow Harushiro through the Sun Spire. At this point, they have reached rather high altitudes.]*

**Nikkel:** Harushiro, what was the point of dragging us out all this way to this place of all places?

**Paru:** harushiro want to break sun again? Paru not allow!

**Harushiro:** It's not that, don't worrys! Today, I'm goings to show you something amazing!

**Nikkel:** Amazing? Yeah, I'm not really that interested.

**Paru:** Amazing thing is yummy?

**Harushiro:** That, I don't knows. Anyway, it's now or never.

**Nikkel:** I choose never.

**Harushiro:** And I chooses now! Steps right up! It's a once in a lifetime show, and you are the special guests!

**Paru:** Paru want to be special guest!

**Harushiro:** And for your seats, we must climbs higher. Let's goes!

*[The trio leaves, and Chabo and Stix follow shortly behind.]*

**Stix:** I still remember this place... The Sun Spire. And he just ran up to the top free of judgement and rational thought, as if it wasn't meltingly hot... Thankfully, the rains came down to dampen his fiery rage. Compared to that time, doesn't this place feel somewhat mediocre? But also peaceful... Happy... Hopefully that won't change, right, Chabo?

**>**[Right.]

**Stix:** It's up to us all to protect the peace.

*[He looks around.]*

**Stix:** I gather then that Harushiro is heading up this spire? let's see if it is so.

### Harushiro's All Grown Up

**Nikkel:** I never thought that I'd be climbing this tower a second time in my lifetime.

**Harushiro:** Me neither. But it's completely different to last time, how I feels too.

**Paru:** Harushiro at that time a selfish child.

**Harushiro:** Stop talkings about past things. I'm an adult now. I'll shows you I can be reliable.

**Nikkel:** An adult, huh? I didn't know you finished puberty so quickly! Did you?

**Harushiro:** N-n-no, not yet...!

**Paru:** Harushiro not finish puberty yet?

**Nikkel:** Well, then doesn't that make you a child still?

**Paru:** Harushiro still child.

**Harushiro:** Shut up! I'm an adult in my head! I'll shows you I can be an adult! And I don't needs to finish buperty!

### He After That

**Stix:** Don't you think Harushiro has changed a lot since coming up here?

**>**[You think so?]

**Stix:** Of course to some, perhaps you too, Chabo, he is still a mere child. Even to me, he is still a child. That we have managed to build a town where even those with ogre blood can reside in. Even the Niebel have made an appearance. I am still surprised. I don't want to lose such a town. Were dangerous times upon us, I pray that you will protect us, Chabo!

**>**[Of course!]

**Stix:** That's the Chabo I know. But I shall also do my part. Anyway, let's finish our conversation another time. We have a child to find, then we can return, yes?

*[Chabo nods.]*

### Aim High

*[Harushiro's team takes a break and look out to the land below.]*

**Nikkel:** Are we there yet?

**Harushiro:** Hmm...... Just a little bit further. We needs a good view for what's going to happen.

**Paru:** What Harushiro do from tall place?

**Harushiro:** It's a secret, hehehe.

**Nikkel:** No reason, and now secrets? Why did I agree to come on this trek?

**Harushiro:** Shut up, we haven't gots much more to go. I'm going to bes great, I promise.

**Nikkel:** Fine, fine, I'm coming. Ugh.

### Why Are You Climbing?

*[After lots of ascending, Stix and Chabo have finally climbed high enough to hear Harushiro and the others.]*

**Stix:** ......Hm?

**Harushiro:** Nearly there! Don't stop now!

**Paru:** Pa...... Pa...... Make to...... Top...... Really......?

**Nikkel:** Why...... Are...... We...... Climbing......????

**Harushiro:** When we get to the top, you'll bes totally surprised. So don't stop!

**Sitx:** ...I get the impression that Harushiro is ahead! The other two seem to be absolutely worn out. Ogre-blooded creatures are tough, that's for sure! Come on, Chabo! Stick to it! We have a goblin to chase!

### An Unleashed Disaster

*[The trio stands at the absolute peak of the Sun Spire, getting a perfect view of the world beneath them.]*

**Harushiro:** Right, I thinks we are here!

**Nikkel:** I think...I have reached...my limit...

**Paru:** Haaa...... Haaaaaa...... Wind feel good...on Paru......

**Harushiro:** Ahem! Thank you, both of you, for accompanying me to this high place.

**Nikkel:** Ahh, I see it! That's our town!

**Paru:** Ahhh, Nikkel not lie. Town small from here.

**Harushiro:** See! This place is great! Next time, listens when I'm tellings you so! \*cough\* Right then. Turns your eyes to the all-grown-up Harushiro...

**Nikkel:** Well, you've still not hit puberty yet. What do you planning on showing us, Harushiro?

**Harushiro:** Hehehe... Look here!

*[Harushiro summons a Niebel Egg before his two companions.]*

**Nikkel:** That's a Niebel Egg, no?

**Paru:** Harushiro get good eye for Niebel Egg. Should tell Chabo.

**Harushiro:** Woah woah woah. You thinks only Chabo can cracks these open?

**Paru:** ......? Yes.

**Harushiro:** Hehehehehe... And if I tolds you that I could too, what then?

**Paru:** Harushiro not hit puberty. Impossible.

**Harushiro:** Will you stops going on about be hitting puberty?!

**Nikkel:** You're saying...that you also have the strength to open Niebel Eggs?

**Harushiro:** That's right! I was just not aware that I could, that's all!

**Nikkel:** You're joking!? ...Well that kind of makes you a bit of an airhead then, no?

**Harushiro:** Shut up!! Anyway, this will bes the first Egg that I opens up...! This is my historical moment!

**Paru:** Harushiro, that okay? Harushiro really open Egg?

**Harushiro:** Not a problem! I mean, I can open it, so... Open your eyes and watch closely!

*[He holds the Niebel Egg up to the sky.]*

**Harushiro:** Big land in small egg. Using all my goblin power, I open up this Egg and let loose the land within!

*[The Egg emits a radiant aura, but it turns out to be for the absolute worse. Several colossal monsters emerge from the Egg's light, emerging in the dark sea surrounding Egglia.]*

**Nikkel:** O......O......OGRES! THERE WERE OGRES IN THAT EGG!

**Harushiro:** Wh......WHAT?!?!

**Paru:** Where Harushiro get Egg from?

**Harushiro:** I... I-I got it from...Jezel's bag......

**Nikkel:** You just casually decided it was okay to swipe something from Jezel?!

*[Chabo and Stix arrive.]*

**Stix:** Harushiro! Nikkel! Paru! Is that... That's a swarm of ogres! Where in the heavens did they appear from?!

**Paru:** Harushiro broke open Egg and ogres appear!

**Stix:** Say what?!

**Harushiro:** I... I... I heards that... I could open Eggs too... I just thoughts...I could trys with the Egg Jezel...hid in his bag... And then... And then... I didn't knows there would be ogres!!

*[He breaks down crying.]*

**Stix:** Harushiro, I understand. Let's all remain calm. I understand what you say. ...Mostly. Regardless, we should all return to town without delay!

*[Everyone agrees and begins their descent from the Sun Spire.]*

### Each Key

*[Back in town everybody watches as ogres thrash about the world. Robin, Sepia, Brown, and Marigold are there to watch it unfold.]*

**Sepia:** There are so many ogres... What can we do??!?

**Brown:** We don't have anyone but Chabo who can really fight them off!

**Harushiro:** I...... I......

**Robin:** What's done is done. Blame yourself later, Harushiro.

**Harushiro:** But... But...... Waaaaaaaaaah!

*[He runs off in tears.]*

**Marigold:** Harushiro!

**Sepia:** Harushiro, wait!

**Brown:** Hold on, Sepia! What are we going to do about the ogres?

**Robin:** Right. It's only a matter of time before the ogres make their approach...

**Stix:** Everyone, we must escape to safer ground!

**Marigold:** Would you care to elaborate on where this safer ground might actually be?!

**Stix:** W-well...

**Sepia:** Wait, why does Jezel's Egg contain ogres...? Added to that, where is Jezel!?

**Robin:** He's the one with the key to all of this. Let's split up and search for him.

**Brown:** Okay then. Apprehend Jezel and find out what on earth is going on.

**Sepia:** Right... Right! There as to be a reason for all this.

**Brown:** What is Jezel...

**Robin:** You are not to jump to conclusions, Brown. Do you understand me? Control your emotions.

**Brown:** ......Okay, no problem, Robin. I guess I have to be calm and considerate!

**Robin:** Stix! Could you tell everyone in the town to be on the lookout for Jezel?

**Stix:** Understood!

*[Stix leaves.]*

**Sepia:** Jezel... I believe in you, Jezel...
