In this expansive Wonderland, only you and Elder/ Phetia are there as tourists. She seems wary, always/ maintaining her distance from you. | |||
Phetia: I have to stay with Player... bit it's also an Elder's/ responsibility... | |||
Player: Where do you want to start, Elder Phetia? | |||
Phetia: Don't stay so close to me! I won't give you an/ opportunity to act! | |||
Phetia strides briskly, and you have to keep close behind her. | |||
After a while, you reach a colossal pirate ship. | |||
Phetia: Such a mammoth ship suspended in mid-air? These/ so-called "amusement attractions" are too perilous... hold on... this wooden ship... | |||
Phetia suddenly spins around, gazing at you with a terrified expression. | |||
Phetia: This... Isn't this the place revealed in the crystal ball.../ Could it be that Player is going to attack me here... | |||
Phetia: Is there any staff here?! I'm about to be attacked! | |||
Just as you are trying to calm the anxious Phetia/ down, a familiar figure approaches | |||
Reir: Oh, how come you're arriving just now? Welcome aboard the pirate ship! Let me brieg you on a few things to keep in mind here... | |||
Reir: Wow, isn't this Player and Elder Phetia? I didn't expect some internal staff here. So, it shouldn't concern me anymore, right? | |||
Reir: Elder Raphael sent you here? So, this is also an assignment from the Elder... Are you here to monitor if I'm working properly? | |||
Reir: Ahh! Ahem! I'm the friendly guide of the Wonderland ♪ | |||
Reir: The pirate ship will swing vigorously in the storm♪ Please mind your personal belongings♪ Come, board the ship from this side♪ | |||
Phetia: Huh? Wait, wait a minute! I didn't say I wanted to ride— | |||
Under Reir's "enthusiasm," you and Phetia hastily board the pirate ship | |||
Reir: Oh, by the way, to ensure our guests truly enjoy the thrill, the ship swings very violently, so please fasten your seat belts! | |||
With a "beep" sound, the pirate ship slowly starts. | |||
Just as Reir mentioned, the Elf pirate ship doesn't begin with a gentle swing. It swiftly ascends to the highest point. | |||
Phetia: Stay away from me! Don't try to approach me... What's happening?! Why is this ship rocking... | |||
Phetia: This, this is too high... Player! Don't... stay too far away from me... within my reach! Aaaahhh!! | |||
Without warning, the pirate ship plummets from a height, then immediately ascends again in a different direction. | |||
Like a pendulum, it swings back and forth with the greatest amplitude. Amidst the chaos, Elder Phetia tightly clutches onto you... | |||
Phetia: Help! It's too high aaaaaaahhhhh! | |||
Player, Option A: Elder Phetia... | |||
Player, Option B: You're holding too tight! My arm! | |||
Phetia, Option A: Player! Crab onto me quickly! Hold on... tighter! Yaaaaahhhh! | |||
Phetia, Option B: Don't let go! Hold on tighter! I'm about to fall ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! | |||
Amidst screams and wild swings, the pirate ship finally comes to a gradual stop. | |||
Reir: Come, disembark from this side. How was your adventure? | |||
Phetia: The sky and earth... spinning within the crystal ball... everything is nothingness... | |||
Phetia appears utterly terrified, stumbling and falling into your arms, unable to stand steadily. | |||
Reir: Elder Phetia... Are you alright? | |||
Reir: Oh my, it seems the intensity was a bit too much. I'll have to tone it down next time. | |||
Reir: There are benches over there to rest. I'll leave Elder Phetia in your care, Player! | |||
You carry the unconscious Elder Phetia and head towards the benches... The crystal's prophecy is spot on! | |||

Seated on the bench, Phetia shuts her eyes and leans against your lap. | |||
Phetia: That ride... It was too much. The terror lingers even now... | |||
Phetia: Thank goodness... Thank you for holding on... | |||
Phetia blushes and gradually opens her eyes, her gaze flitting toward you. | |||
Phetia: Um... I misread the signs in the crystal ball. I misunderstood you... You're not a terrorist... / Sorry, I still need to rely on you in the end... | |||
Player, Option A: It's alright, now the misunderstanding has been sorted out. | |||
Player, Option B: (Gently patting Phetia's head) | |||
Phetia A: Well... I'm fine now. Thanks for looking after me. | |||
Phetia B: D-Don't... don't do that...! I'm fine already! It's too embarrassing if someone sees! | |||
Phetia: Raphael, that fellow, creating such a hazardous thing... this spells trouble. / My heart is still racing... If the Wonderland opens, I dread how many people might endure this suffering! / As an elder, I'll delve into the issues at this Wonderland! I'll try out all the attractions! | |||
Player, Option A: Are you sure you're okay? Don't push yourself, alright? | |||
Player, Option B: Does that mean... Elder Phetia is actually enjoying it? | |||
Phetia A: It's about averting danger for the people... It's what I, as a prophet, should do, and it's an Elder's duty. | |||
Phetia B: O-Of course not! I'm the Elder of the Dark Elf, duty-bound to investigate perils... I can't simply enjoy myself! | |||
Holding the crystal ball, Phetia approaches the centerpiece of the Wonderland, the "roller coaster," swaying slightly. / The ascending track soars to an unimaginable height, shrouded by a couple of familiar pink clouds at its peak. | |||
Phetia: It's so tall! Even surpasses the pirate ship... If I sprint down from there... I-I have to try it myself! | |||
Though visibly apprehensive, Phetia walks resolutely toward the roller coaster's entrance. At that moment, the crystal ball reveals a vision... | |||
The train, meant to travel steadily on its tracks, has veered off course. | |||
Phetia: Huh? This scene... The train derailed?! It's an accident... I must inform the staff immediately... / But... the vision shown by the crystal ball seems "unavoidable"... No matter what we do, we can't stop it from derailing... | |||
Yet, for some reason, the pink clouds above your head feel eerily familiar. It's as if you've experienced this derailing roller coaster somewhere before. | |||
Player: Rest assured, nothing bad will happen. | |||
Phetia: Player, are you suggesting... even a derailment is part of the thrill here?! / That slope is daunting... If I don't take the plunge, I'll never know if it's safe... | |||
Player, Option A: I'll sit beside you. | |||
Player, Option B: If you're nervous, you can hold onto me tightly, like before. | |||
Phetia A: I-I'm not afraid! As an Elder, I should muster the courage for something like this... | |||
Phetia B: I-I just wanted something to hold onto at that moment... Don't misinterpret... | |||
Phetia: Even if there might be danger, are you willing to... be with me? | |||
Phetia takes a deep breath and delicately places her hand in yours. | |||
Phetia: You'll protect me, right? | |||

You and Phetia settle into the roller coaster together. After a "beep" sound, the train begins its slow journey along the track. | |||
Phetia: Aaaah, this is nerve-wracking! Where exactly will the derailment occur... I hope it's not too high! So it won't be too frightening... | |||
However, as the train ascends to the towering peak, everything goes smoothly, dashing Phetia's expectations. | |||
Phetia: It's... it's so high...! If something goes wrong up here... I can't... I'm terrified... Player! | |||
Player A: I'm right here for you. | |||
Player B: If you feel scared, let it out with a scream! | |||
Phetia A: Please don't let go! Hold on tighter... we're about to speed up! | |||
Phetia B: Yeeeee! We're about to dive downhill! We're going to drop! | |||
Gradually and resolutely, the train climbs toward the peak, and before you know it, pink clouds surround you and Phetia. / Just as the train prepares to descend, a profound drowsiness overcomes you, and reality begins to blur... / When you reopen your eyes, a familiar scene greets you. | |||
Phetia: Wow! The train took off... huh? Why are we... floating in mid-air? | |||
Lilith: Ah, I didn't expect my first visitor to be you, darling! And you brought a lady along! | |||
Player A: Lilith, so it was you! I had a feeling this roller coaster was familiar. | |||
Player B: How... did you become so large?! | |||
Lilith A: So, my darling has sensed my presence already? How delightful! You've always kept me in your heart! | |||
Lilith B: Oh darling, come on. I altered it just for you... Because, after all, it's a "dream". | |||
Phetia: Is this... a dream? In other words, everything's fabricated... even if it derails... it's just a "dream"... | |||
Lilith: Haha, to let my darling relish the Wonderland's delight in reality, I collaborated with Mr. Raphael, who's keen on this project. / The setup of this Wonderland mirrors your dream completely, Player! / Especially this roller coaster, I designed a dream at its peak to replicate the exhilarating sensation of "derailing" from back then. / That way, guests experiencing it can relish the thrill that's unachievable in reality, without any danger. How about it? Isn't it an incredible experience? | |||
Lilith is overjoyed, but Phetia's demeanor suddenly shifts, as if she's on the verge of crying in distress. | |||
Player: Phetia... did the roller coaster frighten you? | |||
Phetia: No... it's not that... I've realized now, the Wonderland's attractions are all quite intriguing... what I assumed earlier was just my bias... / I never expected to be misled by the crystal ball multiple times today... and cause trouble for you, Player... What was I doing all day! | |||
Lilith: Haha, that's not the expression one should have in Wonderland! / It's natural for everyone to take some time to adjust to the Wonderland, as it's new to them. Mr. Raphael has considered this too. | |||
Phetia: My stubbornness ruined the guests' mood... Especially you, Player. You came here happily, but... | |||
Player A: But I had a lot of fun. | |||
Player B: It was a delightful surprise to play with you, Phetia. | |||
Phetia A: Huh? Don't you think... I dampened your mood? | |||
Phetia B: Would you... want to play with me? Do you find me bothersome... | |||
Lilith: Experiencing thrilling attractions together is a blast. When the speed peaks, having someone by your side to rely on... / Ahh... I wish I could be sitting next to my darling. I envy you, Miss. / Don't be downhearted. While the dream's not over yet, make the most of the time and enjoy a bit longer here. | |||
Phetia: Um... If you don't mind, Player, could you join me for another ride? | |||
Player: (Holding Phetia's hand) | |||
Lilith waves her finger, resetting the derailed train back to the starting point. You and Phetia board again. / Once more, you hear Phetia's scream, but this time it carries excitement and joy. | |||

You're not sure how long it's been, but you awaken from the dream. The roller coaster has smoothly come to a halt at the end. | |||
Raphael: Hey, did you have fun? | |||
Player A: Yeah, if you hadn't suddenly appeared and startled me... | |||
Player B: Am I... actually awake? | |||
Raphael A: Hahaha! You catch on quick! Seems this "Dream Roller Coaster" is absolutely safe. | |||
Raphael B: That's it, a truly immersive reality. Here, you can't find such exhilarating roller coasters. | |||
Raphael: After teaming up with Miss Lilith to create this Wonderland, I've had some concerns, fearing it might not captivate everyone enough. / But, judging by your reactions, it seems rather successful... particularly with Elder Phetia! | |||
You realize that Phetia is sound asleep,m still holding your hand tightly. A faint smile lingers on her lips. | |||
Pheria: Haha... this is thrilling... Let's have another go... | |||
You lightly pat Phetia's shoulder, prompting her to wake from her reverie. | |||
Phetia: No... I still want to... have another go... Ah! Wait, this... Elder Raphael?! | |||
Raphael: Looks like you had quite a dream, Elder Phetia! Must have enjoyed your time here, huh? | |||
Phetia: Hmm, this Wonderland is nothing like what I envisioned. It's a marvelous place. / I'm certain the guests will have a fantastic time here. | |||
Raphael: Ah, what a shame though, such an incredible place but our guests have to wait outside... because we lack the operating permit yet. / The Wonderland can't open for business unless all six Elders agree. | |||
Phetia: This is your true objective, isn't it? Hmph... I see. I'll grant the permit too. / Once I'm back in the Shadow Kingdom, I'll advocate for it locally. That way, more guests will visit. | |||
Raphael: Haha, thank you for your support, Elder Phetia. | |||
Phetia: But before that... / Elder Raphael, I've been investigating the safety measures for so long... Can we continue playing a bit longer? Is that alright? | |||
Raphael: Oh my, that's exactly what you've been doing all this time, no? | |||
Phetia: That's different... This time, I want to properly enjoy with Player. | |||
Phetia suddenly grasps onto your sleeve. | |||
Phetia: Player... Would you be up for spending more time with me? | |||
Player A: I'm far from finished playing? | |||
Player B: Let's make the most of it while there's no need to wait in line. | |||
Phetia: Then, let's begin from here! Let's ride the roller coaster once more! | |||
