Story
For your first job, go to Lastation Outskirts
Neptune enters Ratchet Volcano and complains about how hot it is. Neptune wonders why she is in a volcano. She hopes that she is not about to fight a boss. That being said, if she deals with it now, she won't be killed instantly by a crimson dragon later. Neptune pumps herself and begins her exploration of this dungeon.
Greet Ester at Ratchet Volcano
As Neptune ventures further into Ratchet Volcano, she finds Bombyx Mori officers who talk:
- how great Filyn is
- blowing into cartridges before playing is folk remedy for bad luck
- Paix St. Gliss' 16 shots destroying buildings instantly.
- 3 Muskeeteers should be called Gold Third
Ester Zira finds the group and reports that the target got away again. Neptune guesses that Ester Zira wasn't lucky this time. Ester remembers seeing Neptune with the target. Neptune confirms that it is her and introduces herself. Ester Zira is glad to meet her and asks if she can call her Neps and for something. Neptune wonders what it is.
She wonders how her target knew about Neptune. Neptune says that she doesn't know her. Neptune thinks that while she doesn't know the lady, the lady definitely knew about her. Ester still points out that the lady still thinks Neptune is important regardless. Neptune is flattered by Ester's assessment noting that she is pretty cute.
Ester agrees that Neptune is cute and has an idea. She will use Neptune to lure out her target. They will leave her out in the wild until she shows up. She assures Neptune that it is only a little bit dangerous. Neptune does not like that at all. Ester says this is for Bombyx Mori and she can make them proud. Neptune is against this, stating that she is too new and would like to be reassigned to the snack cart.
Ester wonders if they have a snack cart. Regardless she can be a snack for monsters so this is great. Neptune can't believe what Ester is saying. She orders the officers to grap Neptune to set her up as bait. The officers begin to follow Ester's orders and Neptune complains about how unfair this is.
Neptune fights off Bombyx Mori and Ester for a while. Ester congratulates her for lasting this long but they have now arrived at The End of Neptune the Hero. Neptune can't believe this as this is so early in the game. The lady arrives and attacks Ester. She scolds Neptune asking what she is doing? Neptune is surprised to see the lady again.
Ester is glad because the bait strategy worked. She praises herself for being amazing. The lady tells Neptune to focus on the enemy. Neptune follows the lady's orders. The pair hold off Ester and Bombyx Mori well annoying Ester. She asks the lady to just be captured already. The lady is annoyed at the persistence of Ester.
Ester begins to attack but the lady is about to create a smoke screen as a counter. Bombyx Mori officers get worried for Ester. The lady tells Neptune this is their chance to escape. She tells Neptune to stay close to her. Neptune follows the lady's instructions and the two flee.
As the smoke clears, Ester admits she thought she was going to die. She orders Bombyx Mori not to let them get away and they attempt to chase the pair. After some running Neptune tells the lady to wait a second. The lady tells Neptune there is no time for that and they need to keep moving. Neptune complains that she can't walk anymore and begs for a break.
The lady seeing Neptune struggle agrees for a short break, as they'll be fine for a little while. Neptune complains that she is beat no thanks to Bombyx Mori. She thought they were the good guys. Neptune guesses this must be the fate of a Hero. The lady reminds Neptune that she told her not to get involved with them. Neptune says she couldn't resist their snacks.
Neptune says that she is fine with no money, nor memories but how does the lady expect her to live without the munchies. The lady tries to respond to Neptune. Neptune cuts her off noting how unfair it is that she doesn't the lady's name but the lady knows her name. The lady introduces herself as Chrome and tells Neptune that she understands what she is going through but...
Neptune realizes that Chrome is the mysterious one who knows more about her than she knows herself. She is excited to meet this sort of character and asks her if she is friend or foe. Chrome tries to calm Neptune so that she can listen to her. Neptune complains that she is hungry and maybe she should just go back to Bombyx Mori as they have snacks.
Chrome relents and agrees that she will feed Neptune. She tells Neptune to come with her to the tavern. Neptune is excited and hopes that this isn't too much trouble for her. Chrome remarks that Neptune hasn't changed a bit.
Defeat the Hunt Quest's monster at Ratchet Volcano
Neptune ventures to Ratchet Volcano to hunt a monster for the Lastation Guild so that she can earn money for food. Deep inside, she sees the target and two girls engaging it. Neptune decides to join them. A girl with black pigtails wonders how the newcomer is. The girl in a white hat has no idea. The girls are victorious and Neptune cheers. Neptune thanks the two girls for helping her out and introduces herself.
The girl with black pigtails tells her not to thank them. She was only helping herself and while Neptune did get in the way, she introduces herself as Noire. The girl with the white hat introduces herself as Blanc. Neptune repeats their names to help herself remember them. She asks where they live and if they use Chat. Noire tells them that they don't know. They both don't remember anything but their names.
Neptune can't believe they have the same problem as her. She wonders if there was a 3-for-1 deal on characters with amnesia or something. Noire struggles to understand Neptune but asks her if she can't remember anything as well. Neptune confirms that she can't remember anything. She wonders if they would have found a new shtick by now. Blanc wonders if she is allowed to say that.
Noire remarks that Neptune is flippant. She explains that the two of them are looking for anyone who might know who they are. Blanc agrees that they want their memories back but she is also looking for new books. Neptune thinks that is interesting then asks if Blanc can read. Suddenly, Neptune sees that her book, Histoire is glowing. Blanc wonders why the book is glowing, she has never seen a book glow before.
Neptune explains that it is a Histoire. Blanc ponders on Histoire. Neptune is glad that Blanc is curious and asks if she likes it. The book is pretty awesome. Histoire then shows some characters on its cover. Its a bunch of emoticons causing all the girls to wonder what was just said. Neptune remembers that Chrome told her that Histoire would glow if she ran into allies.
Neptune tells them that the glow means that the two of them are friends. They need to join her on her Hero's quest. Blanc does not want to as she wants to find books to read. Neptune tells Blanc that she has the perfect book and it glows. Blanc guesses it is and agrees to join her for a little while. Noire has no idea what Neptune is saying and she has to look for her memories so she says her farewells to Neptune.
Neptune repeats that this book glows when she is near allies, friends. This can't be a coincidence. They all lost their memories, so perhaps they can look for memories together. Noire is shaken but Noire resolves that she does not know Neptune and she seems suspicious and for that reason she is leaving. Blanc calls out to Noire. Neptune notes that she was so lonely and here she thought that maybe she found a friend.
Noire is shaken again. Neptune notes that she really wanted to be Noire's friend. She repeats that for a bit. Noire really wants friends and guesses she can keep them company for a bit. Neptune is glad that she just gained 2 new party members. She thinks she is doing great on her Hero quest. Blanc cannot believe how easy it was to sway her. Noire does not want to hear a word.
Neptune tells her new team that they should head back to the Guild and report to the lady.
