256: Renaud

Everyone sure is quick to change topics...

Well, I’m also way more invested in this information anyway.

✦ ✦ ✦

257: Rais

Do you mean the info about the pony Silver-Haired was riding?

You know, I’ve had my eye on that too.

✦ ✦ ✦

258: Lamorak

A Dark Knight riding a pony...

Can’t say I want to get too close to that.

✦ ✦ ✦

259: Rais

I bet I could cut through a crowd of people. How fun!

✦ ✦ ✦

260: Richard

He’s actually gonna do it!

So? What’s the info? If it’s about that horse, I already bought it.

✦ ✦ ✦

261: Roland

It actually is about Silver-Haired’s horse. The Cats have publicized part of its data.

They still haven’t published where to get it, but you can buy that information from them.

✦ ✦ ✦

262: Renaud

So if we can get information about where to obtain that pony if we fork over the cash?

✦ ✦ ✦

263: Richard

Seriously? They were still verifying things when I went to the Quick-Eared Cats, so it wasn’t for sale!

✦ ✦ ✦

264: Lamorak

That li’l pony, huh?

It’s not that I’m uninterested, but I think I’d rather have a regular-sized horse.

Before I get a griffin, I first want to get a proper horse.

✦ ✦ ✦

265: Rais

I wish they’d make a way to strengthen a Packhorse soon...

✦ ✦ ✦

266: Roland

I don’t know the details, but I’m pretty sure they were selling info about that too.

I didn’t have enough money to buy any of it, though.

✦ ✦ ✦

267: Renaud

Are you for real?! Was it expensive?

✦ ✦ ✦

268: Roland

Yeah, very...

I finally learned the meaning behind the phrase “having your eyes bug out of your head.”

✦ ✦ ✦

269: Rais

I guess that’s only to be expected. Everyone with a Packhorse will want that information.

All right, I’ve got some business to take care of, so I’m off. Take it easy.

✦ ✦ ✦

270: Richard

Ah! Trying to pull a fast one on us, are you?! Not on my watch!

✦ ✦ ✦

271: Lamorak

O-Or mine!

✦ ✦ ✦

272: Renaud

I’m going too!

Don’t think you can just leave me behind!

✦ ✦ ✦

273: Roland

They must have a lot of money... I’m jealous.

✦ ✦ ✦

274: Rais

Yeah, same.

✦ ✦ ✦

275: Roland

Huh? I thought you left to go to the Cats...?

✦ ✦ ✦

276: Rais

Like you, I’m short on funds.

I just want the Cats to post that info to their notice board ASAP.

✦ ✦ ✦

277: Roland

Y-You’re so sneaky! You really are a Dark Knight!

✦ ✦ ✦

278: Rais

Mwa ha ha ha! It’s their fault for being so easy to trick!

No but seriously, I’m surprised they actually did fall for it that easily.

I didn’t think they’d actually go buy the info... Their simplemindedness is actually kinda admirable.

✦ ✦ ✦

279: Roland

Can’t argue with you there.

✦ ✦ ✦

Are you a nonmainstream command-class player or a non-command-class player who wants to express their admiration of monsters? Do monsters make you lose your breath and mind? Then this is the thread for you!

We’re looking for any information on the usability of Tame or Summon skills by other classes.

Feel free to just talk about cute monsters.

This includes mascots too.

Please obtain permission before posting screenshots of other players’ monsters.

✦ ✦ ✦

118: Raspu

There have been more reports about players forming friendships with yokai.

✦ ✦ ✦

119: Longneck

Hamakaze’s info has really made its way around.

✦ ✦ ✦

120: Ruach

There aren’t really any benefits to befriending a yokai, but they do have their charm.

I want to complete the yokai encyclopedia, so I’m thinking of going out to befriend them too.

✦ ✦ ✦

121: LordApple

There are benefits. Kappa can grow cucumbers, and I think the other yokai have their own special abilities too.

✦ ✦ ✦

122: Raspu

Those are benefits for homeowners and farmers. It’s not really worth much to the regular player.

✦ ✦ ✦

123: Ruach

And the skills that get unlocked aren’t that impressive either.

✦ ✦ ✦

124: Longneck

Some people in the Verification Clan have been learning those very skills to investigate their usage.

One day they’ll find some great use for them and they’ll become super strong skills!

✦ ✦ ✦

125: Requiem

Hey, has anyone gotten a demon? I wanna ask Tamers especially!

✦ ✦ ✦

126: Raspu

What’s this all of a sudden?

✦ ✦ ✦

127: Requiem

No, I mean, there are those mysterious shadow creatures popping up all around, right? The things that supposedly have something to do with demons?

They don’t leave anything behind, and I haven’t heard of anyone making one their monster.

Since there’s precedent with Silver-Haired’s little demon, I thought maybe things would be different for Tamers.

✦ ✦ ✦

128: LordApple

I fought some on the playing field, but I couldn’t tame any.

✦ ✦ ✦

129: Requiem

What about other Tamers?

✦ ✦ ✦

130: LordApple

Yeah, I think they’ve probably all tried?

✦ ✦ ✦

131: Ruach

That little demon sure is cute.

✦ ✦ ✦

132: LordApple

Every time Silver-Haired does something, I realize I can never catch up to him!

✦ ✦ ✦

133: Requiem

I thought Necromancers might have a chance, but nope.

Maybe Tamers really are the only ones capable?

✦ ✦ ✦

134: Longneck

Don’t you think Onmyoji would be able to? Or what about Summoners?

✦ ✦ ✦

135: Raspu

I haven’t heard of any Summoners being able to.

But Demon Summoners are kind of like Summoners, right? If Tamers can tame demons, then Summoners should be able to as well.

✦ ✦ ✦

136: LordApple

Then maybe no one can command an event-only monster?

✦ ✦ ✦

137: Longneck

So the only thing we can do is wait until one hatches from an egg?

✦ ✦ ✦

138: Ruach

There’s probably a chance that it’ll be an event reward. Eggs for Tamers showed up as rewards in the past, after all.

✦ ✦ ✦

139: Longneck

That’s true! Which means we can anticipate yokai-related items this time around!

I want an old tea kettle or an enchanted sword, but I’d also be happy with any type of yokai!

✦ ✦ ✦

140: Requiem

Then Necromancers have a chance!

Maybe it’s still too early to throw in the towel.

✦ ✦ ✦

141: LordApple

Event rewards! Yeah!

But you might have to place high in the rankings to obtain them...

I need to figure out how to rack up the points!

✦ ✦ ✦

142: Ruach

Before all that, don’t we have to clear this long-term event first?

People seem to think we should be defeating the dark shadows that are crawling all over the place to progress the event...

✦ ✦ ✦

143: Longneck

I heard that few players are actively hunting them, since they don’t drop anything.

Sometimes I don’t bother with them either, for that same reason.

But I’ll pick back up again now!

✦ ✦ ✦

144: LordApple

Me too! I’ll hunt those dark shadows!

If we can progress the event, then maybe some tameable demons will appear!

✦ ✦ ✦

145: Ruach

I think that could be very possible.

✦ ✦ ✦

146: Raspu

I’ll go talk to my Summoner friends!

If the prospect of getting a demon is on the horizon, I’m sure everyone will be motivated to defeat the shadow creatures!

✦ ✦ ✦

147: Requiem

Necromancers will step up to bat too!

I want to get the event rewards! Even if I don’t end up getting a demon!

✦ ✦ ✦

148: Longneck

Onmyoji reporting for duty too!

✦ ✦ ✦

149: LordApple

Aren’t there only like ten Onmyoji players?

✦ ✦ ✦

150: Longneck

Try eight!

✦ ✦ ✦

151: LordApple

I-I see. Good luck, then.

✦ ✦ ✦

152: Raspu

You know, Tamers should tell Silver-Haired to participate!

Silver-Haired alone is more capable than a thousand ordinary players!

✦ ✦ ✦

153: LordApple

Grrr, there’s no denying that!

✦ ✦ ✦

154: Requiem

There really isn’t...

✦ ✦ ✦

155: Longneck

But you have a point.

I can just imagine it—while we’re just plugging away and trying our hardest to gather information, Silver-Haired might suddenly beat the boss!

✦ ✦ ✦

156: Requiem

You’re right!

✦ ✦ ✦

157: Raspu

Which means—we’re counting on you, Tamers!

✦ ✦ ✦

158: LordApple

No way! I can’t do it, nuh-uh! No! Way!

I don’t even know the guy. If I don’t go about talking to him the right way, the Defenders will have my head!

✦ ✦ ✦

159: Ruach

I think you’re exaggerating, but still, we shouldn’t bother Silver-Haired.

✦ ✦ ✦

160: Raspu

Ugh! Then what should we do?!

✦ ✦ ✦

161: Ruach

I mean, what’s wrong with just plugging away at taking down the shadow monsters?

✦ ✦ ✦

162: Requiem

All right! It’s Necromancers’ time to shine, baby!

This game will be filled with zombies and skeletons!

✦ ✦ ✦

163: Longneck

No! If there’ll be more of anyone, it’ll be Onmyoji!

The devs always release a highlight reel, so I’m sure they will this time too!

I’ll steal the show this time around and get featured on that highlight reel! Just watch!

✦ ✦ ✦

164: LordApple

The one stealing the show will be Silver-Haired, as always!

Which means it’s a win for Tamers!

✦ ✦ ✦

165: Raspu

You’re supposed to say you’ll steal the show!

✦ ✦ ✦

166: LordApple

I can’t imagine a reality where I’m the star and not Silver-Haired!

✦ ✦ ✦

167: Ruach

Anyway, for now, why don’t we go search for those shadows?

✦ ✦ ✦

168: Raspu

Right! I’ll use the event rewards to become a Demon Summoner!

✦ ✦ ✦

169: Requiem

Me too! I’ll get a demon with necromancy! Don’t let me down, devs!

✦ ✦ ✦

170: Longneck

Getting a demon as an Onmyoji... Hmm, I like the sound of that.

I’m on the case!

✦ ✦ ✦

171: Ruach

You all are forgetting something. First we need to pray to Silver-Haired!

Please let me find a shadow creature! Go Silver-Haired!

✦ ✦ ✦

172: LordApple

Hold on, how is that a prayer?
