Episode 3-2: I Want to Know More About You

The Other Dimension - Yugen Canyon
Ghost A Ghost A	Oooh, let us run before we are vanished from this woooorld!
Silver Silver	What's wrong, Jamil?! Why did you suddenly attack the ghosts?
Jamil Jamil	I thought that the ghosts might know something about the vanished students, so I just kind of charged ahead without thinking.
Silver Silver	I see. I understand how you feel, but it is inadvisable to attack without first observing the situation. There surely must be friendly ghosts among them.
Jamil Jamil	…I can't say I'm as optimistic as you are on the matter. Did you not hear what those ghosts said just now? They completely ignored what our intentions may have been and immediately jumped to taking us to whoever "Their Greatness" is.
Silver Silver	Hm… You aren't wrong, but… Their Greatness… I believe we should assume that this is their commander.
Jamil Jamil	…Oh my, what's this?

Jamil Jamil	Looks like they just happened to drop every last mirror shard they had on them.
Silver Silver	What? They dropped them again? They must be disappointed to have lost something so precious to them… We may be able to come to an understanding if we meet them again somewhere. Let's take these with us for if that time comes.
Jamil Jamil	…Sure. Let's do that. Before that, can you tell me the rest of that story you were talking about?
Silver Silver	That story? You mean the one about the hero who saved their country?
Jamil Jamil	Yeah. You stopped in the middle of it, so of course I'm curious to hear the rest. Besides, we're going to be having each others' backs for a while now. I want to know more about you. Tell me more about this person who influenced you so much.
Silver Silver	I see. What you say certainly does make sense. I understand then. A long time ago, there was someone who fought for their country in place of their ill father. Their achievements were so great that they were even referred to as a hero. I was so impressed by their kindness that I decided to do the same training that they were said to have done.
Jamil Jamil	Wow… Is that so…?
Silver Silver	What's wrong? You've been looking around for a little bit now. Did something catch your attention?
Jamil Jamil	No, no, it's nothing. So what was this special training exactly?
Silver Silver	It was training to fire three arrows at once and have them all hit the target, just like that hero did.
Jamil Jamil	Wow, three arrows at once… Wait, three arrows at once?! That would require some crazy arm strength!
Silver Silver	Indeed. I am yet to reach such a level myself. Of course, the hero couldn't do it themselves at first. But with fighting spirit set alight, they went through countless strict training regimens. It is said that they reached such heights in their training that in a fight on the snowy mountains, they were able to even use an avalanche to their advantage, taking down a whole enemy army by themselves. Naturally, they did all that without using magic. According to the legend, they used nothing more than both their hands to cause that avalanche.
Jamil Jamil	Wait, no tools or anything?!
Silver Silver	Yes. They were nearly caught by the avalanche themselves, but they dashed away over the snow on their horse and managed to escape.
Jamil Jamil	That sure is some fanciful tale… Well, legends of heroes usually are exaggerated to some degree.
Silver Silver	I train with the Equestrian Club daily because I always admired those legends. There is much other training that I carry out day and night based on the hero's stories. If I wish to become a full-fledged bodyguard for Lord Malleus, I can never do more than enough training. All I have to do is refuse to give up, and surely, there will come a day when even I can shoot three arrows at once.
Jamil Jamil	Honestly, I think you're actually already plenty strong as you are right now… Maybe I should be the one training a little more…
Ghost A Ghost A	I found them!
Jamil Jamil	Ah!
Silver Silver	Hm, it's the ghosts from earlier.
Ghost B Ghost B	One, two, three… Alright! With this, we once more have enough mirror shards.
Ghost C Ghost C	We may have lost the shards that we gathered earlier, but Their Greatness will surely be satisfied with this.
Jamil Jamil	Heh heh heh… You've done well, ghosts!
Ghost A Ghost A	Ahhh! You're the living humans from earlier!
Silver Silver	You have nothing to fear. So long as you do not attack us, we will not attack you. If you will cooperate with us, we have no qualms about giving the mirror shards you dropped back—
Jamil Jamil	Ghosts. We'll have you give those shards you just gathered to us!
Ghosts	What?!
Ghost A Ghost A	We went to great lengths to find these shards and now you intend to steal them?! Utter demons is what you are!
Silver Silver	No, you're wrong! I…
Ghost A Ghost A	We cannot forgive such rudeness. Prepare yourselves!
