Episode 3-4 - Ravenous Monster
Scalding Sands - Silk City
Stallholder	Thanks for waiting! Here are your six shawarmas!
Jamil Jamil	Thank you very much. Everyone, please take your respective shawarma.
Trey Trey	Thanks, Jamil. I’ll help you pass them out.
Cater Cater	Ooh, the contrasting flavours of the veggies and sauces taste so good ♪
Malleus Malleus	Walking while eating fast food… Quite the rare experience indeed.
Grim Grim	It looks so yummy! Feels like a dream to have everything added to it!
Choice 1: Thank you.		Choice 2: It smells really good!
Grim Grim	Thanks for the foooood! Chomp, chomp! Gobblegobble chomp!
Jamil Jamil	…Huh? This is strange. My shawarma is missing.
Malleus Malleus	Was it because the stallholder didn’t receive your order, Viper?
Jamil Jamil	No, I’m certain I purchased and received six of them.
Cater Cater	That must mean… A certain ravenous monster gobbled it up or something!
Trey Trey	True, that’s highly likely.
Grim Grim	Wh-Why’s everyone looking at me for…?! There’s obviously no way I’d do that! It’d be way easier for me to just attack the stalls and steal from them instead of Jamil! Plus, I can eat more that way!
Jamil Jamil	You better not.
Cater Cater	C’mon, I was just kidding. Sorry, Gri-gri. Um, then who here is holding a shawarma?
Trey Trey	Me, Cater, Malleus, Grim, Yuu, and…
??? ???	Omnomnom… Yeah, well that was passable at least. Guess I’ll pick these toppings the next time onwards~
Trey/Cater/Grim/Malleus	……
Grim Grim	A-An unknown person is eating it?! That’s the culprit!
Trey Trey	Where did you come from, little miss? I’m guessing you’re alone here, yeah? It’s not good to just take and eat a stranger’s food, you know?
??? ???	Hehehe~ If eating “a stranger’s food” is the problem, then I guess I’m not in the wrong, after all~?
Trey Trey	Huh?
Cater Cater	Oh? What’s wrong, Jamil? You look like a fish that’s gasping for air.
Jamil Jamil	Na, Na… NAJMA?!
Trey/Cater/Grim/Malleus	……?
Najma Najma	Welcome back, Jamil!
Cater Cater	…Umm, Jamil? You seem to know this girl, so like, who and where is she from?
Najma Najma	It’s a pleasure to meet you all. My name is Najma Viper.
Malleus Malleus	Viper?
Trey Trey	Don’t tell me…
Najma Najma	We don’t look alike at all in my humble opinion, but basically, I’m this guy’s younger sister.
Trey/Cater/Grim/Malleus	HUHH??!!?!
Jamil Jamil	Why are you referring to your older brother as “this guy” for?! No, wait… First of all, why are you here?
Najma Najma	I’m not here because I wanted to either, okay.
Cater Cater	Whoa! That look’s a splitting image of Jamil! Ahaha! Look, two identical faces side by side. How adorable~!
Trey Trey	Yeah, they’re definitely siblings…
Najma Najma	Dad asked to pass you a message, and I had to spend loads of time searching for you, okay. He said that the festival VIP seats for everyone here have swapped locations. I’d already told him so many times that I’d drop you a message so it’ll be fine, and yet…
Jamil Jamil	Yeah, I received it on my cell phone and read it already. My reply should've been sent, too.
Najma Najma	But he still went “Is it really okay? I still can’t help but worry if you don’t tell him directly!” and didn’t listen after all! I didn’t want to, but I’m here because I had no other choice.
Jamil Jamil	…Unfortunately, Dad isn’t very familiar with tech like computers and smartphones.
Najma Najma	And even not a single word of thanks for your kind little sister who came all this way for you! I don’t think god will strike you down just for saying “thanks”, you know?
Jamil Jamil	Is that so… Well that was my bad. That’s all. Okay. The end. Your task is done now, right? Then hurry home. I’m busy now.
Cater Cater	Ah, right! Wanna join us for some sightseeing, lil’ miss Najma?
Jamil Jamil	HUHH??!!?!
Cater Cater	Since Jamil’s gonna head home late from attending to us… Why don’t you tag along with us while we shop and catch up with your dearest big bro at the same time?
Trey Trey	That’s fair. It must’ve been a while since you last saw Jamil, after all.
Jamil Jamil	Th-That won’t do!!
Najma Najma	I’m okay with that. It sounds kinda fun anyway!
Jamil Jamil	I can’t afford even the time to look after you, okay!
Najma Najma	Hah? Mind you, I didn’t even say anything about wanting to be looked after by you, Jamil.
Jamil Jamil	At any rate, you can’t stay here!
Najma Najma	You’re heartless!! Even though I came all this way just to deliver a message! I’ll have you know that thanks to this, I had to kiss my outing with my friends at the festival goodbye! Sigh… It’s still midday, but it looks like I’ll have to wander around all by myself, wallowing in loneliness, until the festival starts at night… Ahhh!! How boring it is!! Even though it’s the one day of the year when the festival is held-!
Jamil Jamil	Urk! Grrr……
Malleus Malleus	Why is Viper so reluctant? They are siblings connected by blood, correct?
Trey Trey	He probably feels awkward about the idea of showing us what he’s like at home. I also have younger siblings, so I understand those feelings very well.
Malleus Malleus	Is that how it is…? The subject of siblings seems fairly complex.
Cater Cater	There’s also the opposite case~ For me, I wouldn’t want my big sisters to see me hanging out with my friends ‘cus it’d be embarrassing.
Trey Trey	And you extended that offer despite knowing how it feels? How evil of you. Although, an anxious Jamil is a rare sight to behold… so this is quite valuable.
Jamil Jamil	Aren’t you all just eagerly waiting for a chance to tease me!? Go home now, Najma!
Najma Najma	How cruel. I can’t believe you, being this coldhearted to your little sister. What does everyone else think?
Trey Trey	Isn’t it fine to let her tag along, Jamil?
Cater Cater	That’d mean we’ll have one more lovely guide with us who knows the ins and outs of the Scalding Sands!
Malleus Malleus	That is right. In addition, you should hold your family close to your heart.
Jamil Jamil	Guh… I-I understand. If everyone insists so…
Najma Najma	That’s the spirit! Now then… Hello again to everyone from Night Raven College. Oh? What an unusual accessory you have on your head, sir.
Jamil Jamil	Gah!!!
Malleus Malleus	Accessory? Ahh, these horns are real, actually.
Cater Cater	I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but… It seems like no one here’s aware of the fact that Malleus is the famous Malleus Draconia, right?
Trey Trey	Yeah. It’s probably also because the bandanna’s wrapped round his head… Plus, no one would ever believe that Malleus, one of the most excellent mages in the world, would be casually sightseeing somewhere.
Jamil Jamil	Najma! That was such a rude thing to say to my senior!
Najma Najma	I-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to come off rudely.
Malleus Malleus	I wasn’t bothered to the extent that there is a need to apologise like that…
Cater Cater	Ahahaha! Everyone back at Night Raven College’s gonna burst out laughing if we were to tell them about this when we return~
Trey Trey	No way, I think they’d turn pale and tremble in fear instead…
Cater Cater	Allllright! Now, let’s have yaboi Cay-Cay introduce everyone here for the lovely Najma’s sake!
