Starshard Fortress

D-don't back down!

Even if you have to step over my dead body!

We must protect the tribe's clean and way of life!

Ch-chief! Sometimes taking one step back is the bravest step of all!

Everyone! Carry the chief! We're going back!

Whew...

Yeah, they weren't that tough.

It felt like they just kept swarming us after we got in, but I think that was the last wave.

Wide-range scan complete. Detected full retreat of Raiders.

Likely triggered by defeat of the chief.

Oh, right! That last one we took down was huge.

Must've been the chief.

Hey! You guys!

Oh, Come on! I just can't stand it anymore!

If you knock the enemy down, you finish the job!

You seriously gonna let them walk?!

Yeah, you are right.

We had a scammer in our grasp but couldn't finish the job... what a shame, right?

Th-that's not even the same thing!

Scammer. Shameless.

Raiders aren't that evil, you know.

Aside from their obsession with hot baths, they can be hired as workers or traded with.

Back home, our hunts were more about chasing them off than wiping them out.

No need to go overboard. Understood?

Ugh, what classic pampered rich girl logic.

Keep going soft like that and one day, you'll regret it.

Yeah! Of course you will!

Was that a prophecy?

Without a payment? Of course not!

That's just advice from my hard-earned experience. Take it to heart.

Hmm... Well, I bet you do have a lot of [experience]. I'll keep it in mind.

...Why do I feel insulted somehow?
