Hyperdimension Neptunia Rebirth Of A Slave

Part 33 - Advice from Falcom, Broccoli and Tekken.

Damian: I apologise for her behavior.

Broccoli: It's okay, nyu.

Damian: Oh and thank yo-

Broccoli: Jiiiiiiiiii.... *Staring at Damian*

Damian: Uhhh...

Broccoli: Oh! You're welcome, nyu.

Damian: ...

...

Neptune: So, about the fact that we can't find a thing... What's wrong with this game?! Not even Hard Mode would do this to you!

Damian: Heh, I bet Hardcore and Inferno Difficulty with Nuzlocke would be worse.

Tekken: Neptune? Master Damian? What are you two doing here?

Damian: Tekken, please stop with the master.

Neptune: Hey, Tekken. Howzit going?

Tekken: Yes, how...zit, been going to you, too...?

Neptune: Could be better.

Damian: It's "How is it", Tekken.

Tekken: Oh!

Damian: *sigh* Anyway, do you know anything about lore on the Quartet?

Tekken: Ouartet? I only came here recently, so not really. I'm sorry.

Damian: Great...

Tekken: !

Neptune: Aw, okay... It felt like you would know something about it...

Tekken: Why are you checking on the lore on this... "Quartet"?

Neptune: Well, We were looking for a dungeon they supposedly used for training...

Tekken: So that's why you're checking on the lore?

Damian: Yeah.

Neptune: Exactly!

Tekken: Well, if you still can't find it, maybe it's hiding?

Damian and Neptune: Hiding?

Tekken: Right. Like how games hide stuff behind walls and shelves and things.

Neptune: So maybe there's a hidden entrance or something somewhere?

Tekken: Well, that's just me.

Damian: That's actually a good advice. Thank you, Tekken.

Tekken: Really? I got praised and thanked by Master, Ehehe...

Damian: Uuhhh... Please stop with the master stuff.

Blanc: Neptune! Damian! Get your @sses here, pronto!

Lumine: D-Damian!

Neptune: Wha-?! Whoops. I kept Blanc waiting too long.

Damian: Thanks for the advice, really, Tekken...

Tekken: Ah... No problem, Master Damian.

Damian: Seriously, stop with the master thing... (ー_ー゛)

Tekken: Ehehe, Good luck.

...

IF: So, did you find anything?

Blanc: Me and Lumine checked the library, but nothing. Only fairy tales of it.

Vert: I posted a thread on the internet, but nothing of interest came from it.

Louis: I asked some friends in my travels which coincidentally are here for sightseeing and questioned them if they knew anything but none.

Noire: Me and Geno checked with some professors of lore, but nothing about the dungeon.

IF: How about you two, Nep and Dan? ...Though I doubt you got something useful.

Damian: ...

Neptune: Oy?! Now that's so rude, Iffy!

IF: Well then, do you have some information to share?

Damian: No.

Neptune: Nada.

IF: Figured as much...

Damian: But, We did get this...

IF: This is...a branch?

Neptune: Yup! I jus at drop it on the ground and follow it! It should take us somewhere!

Damian: It's Broccoli, and I somehow doubt it...

IF: Random and archaic. Great...

Blanc: Still, we have no leads at all, so we might as well use that just in case. Who knows? It may lead us to an amazing discovery.

Neptune: Now that's my Blanc! You do know your adventures, don'cha!?

Lumine: If Lady Blanc says to try it, let's do it.

Noire: Yeah... No use not trying it.

Louis: I suppose. Just blabbering won't get us anywhere.

Vert: I second Blanc.

Neptune: ...Huh? I thought I was the one who brought the branch?

Damian: One word, Neptune. Karma.

Blanc: Come on, Neptune. Hurry and drop it.

Neptune: I'll make this work and show 'em who should be getting the praise! *Toss*

Noire: It's pointing...

Geno: Towards the forest outside Planeptune.

IF: But the only thing that's there is the Natural Park and the Underground Cave.

Neptune: ...Iffy, let's just go for the sake of it. You'd be surprised how often these things are found close to home.

Damian: (She said it, huh...)

IF: ...

Neptune: Huh? What's the matter? Did I say something strange?

IF: It's the opposite. I'm surprised such a sane comment came out of you.

Neptune: Whoa! That's lightly rude, isn't it?

Damian: *silently giggles*

Noire: In your case, I say it's well-deserved after all the stuff you do.

Neptune: Iffyyyy. Damiaaaan. The lone wolf Noire is teasing me.

Damian: What is this, Red Riding Hood?

Noire: Like I keep saying, I'm no loner!

IF: And just when I was impressed, you follow up with a tease... Stop it right there, kids. Let's just get going.

Damian: ...
