Episode 3-1: You Can Rely On Me

The Other Dimension - Forbidden Laboratory
Silver Silver	All we did was open the door from the lab…

The Other Dimension - Yugen Canyon
Silver Silver	I wasn't expecting us to suddenly end up in the mountains! The lab disappeared alongside the door when we shut it.
Jamil Jamil	Anything can happen in the Land of Ghosts, huh? I'm starting to feel like an idiot getting surprised at every little thing. It's nothing to be ashamed of. You can never be too careful in a situation like this. Let's examine this area as we did with the lab.

Jamil Jamil	I don't know if it's a castle wall or a corridor, but there's some long structure continuing well into the fog. What a strange building. Being from the Scalding Sands, such architecture is alien to me…
Silver Silver	I see a waterfall back there. Is this perhaps a canyon? It appears we won't have to worry about water, at least. We should be fine even if we end up stuck here for over a month.
Jamil Jamil	Hey… Quit it with the distasteful jokes. I have no intention of living here for a full month!
Silver Silver	Jokes? Did I say something funny? I went on this mission for the End This Halloween Party under the assumption that it was very possible this could turn into an extended operation.
Jamil Jamil	So the first thing you worry about is our water supply? I was already starting to think it with the whole aquarium thing in the lab, but your ideas sometimes end up a little too attuned to the great outdoors.
Silver Silver	Of course. I'm confident I have more knowledge than the average person on surviving in the wild. You can rely on me for anything.
Jamil Jamil	Well, it's not like I wasn't already relying on you, anyway, but…ugh, it can be hard for me to keep up when I'm talking with you, I swear.
Silver Silver	I can see the water's surface down below. We should go down and check if it's drinkable.

Jamil Jamil	There's flowers blooming on top of the water. I believe these are…
Silver Silver	Lotuses, yes. I've seen them on a postcard Father once sent me. It's a sight you can witness in the Far East where water is abundant, he told me.
Jamil Jamil	It was your father you said had seen the Land of Ghosts before, right? So he's been to the Far East, as well?
Silver Silver	He has. My father loves to travel. Thanks to that, he's incredibly knowledgeable, and he frequently tells me all about his travels abroad.
Jamil Jamil	Wow… That's interesting. I'm kind of jealous, honestly. I've been thinking for a while I want to go visit the Far East one day.
Silver Silver	Really? Then I have the perfect story that I heard from my father once! Look. There are many lotus leaves floating on the water, right?
Jamil Jamil	Yeah, I see them. They're really beautiful when they're bathed in the moonlight like this…
Silver Silver	In the East, it is said that if you can run across the water by stepping on those leaves, you can be considered a true warrior.
Jamil Jamil	You seriously believe that?! There's no way anyone could run on top of what is literally just leaves floating on the water. Your father is tricking you!
Silver Silver	Tricking me? But my father can even run on top of regular leaves floating on the water.
Jamil Jamil	What otherworldly being are you, Silver's Dad…?
Silver Silver	I have yet to master it, but that is simply a show that I still have a ways to go until I can truly be considered a warrior. …Oh right, the paper lanterns above us are similar to another story my dad told me. I have heard that a hero of the East used a rope of lanterns to protect the king's life.
Jamil Jamil	A hero?
Silver Silver	Mmhm. They weren't a mage, but they were an amazing person who had a huge influence on me when I was younger. A long time ago… Hm? I can hear something.
???	Eee-hee-hee-hee!
Jamil Jamil	This voice… Hide!
Ghost A Ghost A	We found so many mirror shards!
Ghost B Ghost B	Having a huge group of us split up to search all over was a smart idea after all.
Ghost C Ghost C	If we bring plenty of mirror shards to Their Greatness, they'll definitely be pleased!
Silver Silver	They're ghosts. They're holding those mirror shards so carefully.
Jamil Jamil	They were searching all over? Does that mean these guys didn't have the mirror shards on them to begin with?
Silver Silver	It seems like they went through quite the trouble to find them. It must really be important for the Halloween party. It might be best that we try to search for the mirror shards in this canyon ourselves.
Jamil Jamil	No… There's something else we can do.
Silver Silver	What?! Jamil, what are you…?!
Jamil Jamil	Hey, you ghosts!
Ghost A Ghost A	A-A living human?! We must bring them to Their Greatness!
Ghost B Ghost B	We'll teach you to fear us ghosts!
Jamil Jamil	Heh… Come at me!
