Let's Play Atelier Rorona! Update 13, A Day in the Strife
Continued from Part 3...
The workshop was saved... but what does the future hold?
*sigh* This is so boring...
Hmmm... Ungh...
Master, please focus.
I can't stand just sitting here waiting!
Alchemy requires focus and patience.
You should know that.
I do, but...
Hmhmhm, I thought you'd be getting restless by now.
Cory! Good timing!
I was getting bored to tears here!
Master, you have more work to do.
Oh, you do? Then I guess I'll just go by myself...
Ahhh! Wait!
Homhom, please!
...Fine.
I will finish the rest, but...
I know, I know! I'll gather up the best ingredients! See ya!
Rorona and Cory leave hastily.
A partner who gathers ingredients and a partner who makes them into stuff is an arrangment that's worked for Atelier game casts before...
*sigh* How can I describe this feeling? Sad? Or shocked...?
But Hom doesn't seem to like it at all.
Rorona and Hom decided to run the workshop together, even after Astrid left town.
...At least, that was the plan. Unfortunately, Rorona's interests and talents seem to lie elsewhere...
The screen goes completely blank. The combat music starts up, and there's sounds of gunfire and someone running.
(This is another scene where I don't have appropriate icons for some things...)
I got it!
Uraaaaaagh!
Rorona's roar here sounds completely ridiculous. But the boom that follows is a different matter.
Huh? What? That's it?
The combat music fades out.
Are you kidding me!? Look at you with your huge body! Don't I get to smack you down, too!?
Aww, stop. It passed out.
You're the one who knocked it down...
Th-that's different! That was a serious battle.
Yeah, yeah...
Oh well, this monster isn't worth my time, anyway.
...There haven't been any strong monsters lately. It's so boring.
I think we've just gotten too strong.
I don't think so.
I'm still pretty weak.
...How can you say that when you're holding such a dangerous weapon in your hands?
Well, this design *is* more practical for hitting things with.
...Cory? Don't you wanna see what's at the other kingdoms?
Huh? What about your jobs at the workshop?
Oh, don't worry. It's not like I'm doing much, anyway.
Alright... If you say so, I have no reason to argue.
We should conquer the land...no, make that the whole world, and beat up all the monsters out there!
Yup! Alright, let's go home and get ready!
There's some additional text in the game's files that didn't appear here. I'm not sure what to make of that.
Rorona and Cordelia left Arland in search of stronger monsters.
They ended up leaving legends in every kingdom they visited...
But that's still a long time from now...
I believe I've mentioned before (or at least alluded to) that I was somewhat spoiled on the ending requirements. I knew pretty much immediately that my tendency to explore everywhere, fight everything, and use a team full of cute girls whenever I can get away with it would eventually lead me here.
That doesn't mean I knew (or remembered) everything though - I didn't remember the Demon at all, and thought that requirement was for a boss in a different zone instead. It totally took me by surprise the first time.
And what I really didn't know was what the results would be.
This unbalanced life, with Rorona abandoning the art of alchemy that got her this far...
I don't want an ending like that!!
Next time on Atelier Rorona: I refuse to accept this!
