Episode 4-3: Just What Kind of Circumstances…?

The Other Dimension - Bizarre Staircase

The Other Dimension - Forest of Screams
Silver Silver	So the place we've travelled to this time is a forest…!
Jack Jack	We ended up thrown to a completely different place after passing through that door that was in the stairway… I know you'd already explained it to me, but it's a little rattling to suddenly have it happen like this. The Land of Ghosts is something else.
Jamil Jamil	You'll get taken back over again if you show your surprise, you know. If you don't want to make the mistake of exposing your crying face to us again, better watch yourself.
Jack Jack	Wh… I-I won't ever let a ghost get the better of me again! And anyway, I'm used to the forest! Just leave it all to me.
Silver Silver	You're used to forests?
Jack Jack	Yes. I'm from the northern area of Shaftlands, so I was raised surrounded by a forest. I'm more aware than most of the places enemies could hide themselves, what kind of areas are dangerous to wander into, and what places make it easy to get targeted.
Silver Silver	I see. So you're the same as me, then.
Jack Jack	Huh? Were you raised in a forest, as well, Silver?
Silver Silver	Yeah. Long ago…
Jamil Jamil	Wait.
Silver Silver	Hm?
Jamil Jamil	Don't tell me you're about to whip out another story about that hero again? Or some story about your dad?
Silver Silver	No, neither. This one is about my own experiences.
Jamil Jamil	Oh, well, okay then. I thought you were about to whip out another ridiculous story, but if it's your own experience, that should be fine. Continue. It'll keep you awake, as well.
Silver Silver	I appreciate your consideration. I had actually started to get a little sleepy. …I was raised in a small house in Briar Valley. It lay in the middle of a mountain fairly far away from the castle town. My dad loves to travel, so he'd sometimes be away from the house for long periods of time. It was because of that that I was rather frequently left to look after the house by myself. There were no other houses around mine, but as I lived in a vibrant forest, I was never particularly lonely.
Jamil Jamil	You were left all by yourself? It must have been some peaceful place to willingly leave your kid alone like that.
Jack Jack	I'm sure it was a great, safe environment to grow up in.
Silver Silver	It was. Every day spent there was meaningful. My mornings would be spent doing nothing but training, then I would spend the afternoons cleaning the house and doing the laundry. Then I would go to the river to catch fish or plough the fields and care for the crops… Sometimes I would collect strawberries from the forest, other times I would play around with the animals I was friends with. I even battled with a bear once.
Jamil Jamil	Hang on!
Jack Jack	A bear?!
Silver Silver	Yes.
Jack Jack	That doesn't sound peaceful or safe whatsoever!
Jamil Jamil	That part at the end completely invalidated everything that came before. Just what kind of circumstances…?
Silver Silver	Hey! Be quiet!
Ghost A Ghost A	La-la-la~♪ Oh, mirror shards~ Mirror shards~ Just where oh where could you be? ♪
Jack Jack	That's…a ghost! Hey! You sure have some nerve for doing what you did!
Ghost A Ghost A	What? Did I do something wrong? I believe you have the wrong ghost.
Jack Jack	If you're looking for the mirror shards, that means you're also one of that "Greatness" person's underlings, right? Don't think I'm gonna hold back!
Silver Silver	This is bad. Jack's picking a fight with them. We should move in!
Jamil Jamil	Man, I'm so curious about the rest of that story, though… Damn you, Jack. This is why you don't just charge on in. Alright, let's get this over and done with!
