Chapter 7: Blitz Wedding

Upon returning from Shell, the three girls are invited to sit in on the Student Council. When the chapter begins, however, Senia receives a letter from her home village--from someone named Azu. Quite pleased, Senia says she'll pass on the Student Council meeting for now and goes off to read the letter; Lena supposes it may be from her boyfriend.

You'll begin then in the top floor of the office building. Speak with Brown (the man to the left) and he'll thank the girls for their help. He offers Ellie some tea, suggests that perhaps milk tea will complement her complexion--Lena giggles at this, which is when Brown notices that Lena's come too. Lena suspects it's because of her short height, and gets upset until Eleonora comes by to calm her down. When she goes to get the tea, there's a flash and a strange man with two demons appears in the room. He introduces himself as Memphis, the master of the Demon Castle D--and one of the Vile Tribe, notices Ellie. He's gathering people to be his servants, so that he can rule the world--so he pulls Brown in with magic. Eleonora rushes in to push him out of the way, and gets captured herself. This is when the girls come in to defeat his henchmen.

Defeat these two goblins (if you have Ellie's Flaze spell then it should be easy). Afterwards, Steel runs in, saying that he felt some strong magic in this direction. Brown explains that Eleonora was taken by the Vile Tribe. Steel tells brown that the two of them will go to find the Vile Tribe's hideout around here, while Ellie and Lena should head back to the dorms to protect Ien, should the Vile Tribe return. Back in the dorm, Senia says she felt the strong magic presence, too, and Lena explains what happened. Not wanting to worry too much over it, they shift over to Senia. Senia asks if they can go to the dock to the south, because Azu just wrote that he's going to be arriving today and she wants to go meet him there. Azu is her childhood friend from her village, and she's a bit embarassed to go alone. So they decide to set off.

Yet again, don't go to the docks yet. Make your rounds and speak with all the professors who can give you spells. At this point, you may be able to learn magic from Iason (in his dojo), Terena (in her school), Ralph (in the library), and definitely from Steel (still at the top floor of the office building). Also, now may be a good time to pick up some Power Robes for Ellie and Lena if you have 900S to spare and didn't already do so in the previous chapter.

Now, exit town and head due south to the docks. When you enter, Senia runs ahead and greets Azu. After introductions, Azu explains that the real reason he's here is to take Senia back home with him, under orders from her tribe's leader--her father--who thinks it's time for Senia to get married. Before she can do anything, there's another flash and Memphis appears--this time he takes Azu and disappears. They go back to Steel and Brown to tell them what happened. Senia and them wish to go along. Steel explains that they've detected that Memphis is somewhere underground in Ien, gathering its magic for some reason. Lena asks if the passage to where Memphis is is close to the cave at the beach to the southeast (you went there in Chapter 2). Steel nods and says that they've already sent an advance party there, and wishes the girls to go there as well. Steel gives you a staff that can detect magic, and wishes you well.

Leave town and go southeast to the beach and enter the cave there (again, the same one you visited in Chapter 2). You'll be going much deeper in there this time. On the first floor, go up and right to pick up a Wind Spirit. From here, go directly north and you'll find a chest with a Calm Herb to the side. From there, go further west and north. Follow this path until you'll run into Ant and his friends... again. Talk with Ant (next to the door up there), and he says the door won't open. Lena says they can open it with more magic; Ant thinks she's calling them weak and runs out upset. Go up, hit 1, and the door will open. You have some more chests on this floor if you're interested, so instead of going up, go directly east from here. continue and take the first path south; keep going south along the wall on the left until you find a Calm Herb inside another chest. From here, go back north all the way, then continue all the way to the east until you find the last path south; take this path down to find a Resurrect Potion. Now, back track (back up, then all the way west) to the door, go up and take the staircase there.

You'll enter the Vile Tribe's own dungeon. This dungeon is fairly tough, so after every few battles be sure to heal using Lena's magic, and if you run low on MP then stand in place for a while to regain it (the robes help recover faster). If you're rather weak, you might want to skip treasure hunting and go straight for the exits on each floor. Anyway, throughout this dungeon, Lena continues to ask Senia about her relationship with Azu. Senia explains: the first time they met, Azu was wounded and lying down in a forest; she took him to her father who healed him, and they've been friends ever since. On the first floor, go west out of the entrance room, a little south, then take the first path west a little bit; take the second-to-last path south and pick up a Cure Potion in the chest there. Go back north, then continue west, go south-west-south all the way, then go east and take the first path you see south. Take the first path east, go south, and pick up the Lively Potion in the chest. Go back north and west, take the path back north, then continue to the east. Keep following this path east then north, then take the first path east. Go down the third path south that you see, and keep following this hallway all the way until you hit a T-intersection--go west and pick up a Rest Potion. Now, backtrack back this hallway, and take the last path to the south. Continue down this hallway, take the first path west that you see, then the first path south, and exit the floor. On the second floor, go south from the entrance and then go east; follow this path east and north to pick up a Lively Potion. Go back south then all the way to the west, then go north, around the bend, and take the path to the north to pick up a Chalk. Go back to where the entrance was (from here, go back south all the way, then east and take the second-to-last path north). From the entrance, go west then north, and continue along this path until it forks in two; go east and continue on this path to pick up a Resurrect Potion at the end. Go back west and continue in this direction along the hallway to finally reach the entrance to the next floor. On the third floor, Senia first continues with her story about her and Azu. Azu continued to live in the village thereafter, and they used to play together every day; but her father, who was the tribe's chief, didn't approve. Anyway, on this floor, go all the way west, then go south at the end, take the path east at the end, then go south and continue down this hallway to pick up a Sun Light. Go back south, then west, then a little north and take the path to the west; go a couple steps north then continue west. Go south from here and take the first path off to the east; continue along this hallway all the way to pick up a Sun Sparkle. Then, backtrack to the beginning of that hallway, and continue south from there. Keep following the path, ignore the first passage south, then take the last passage south and go straight all the way to find the passage to the next floor. On the fourth floor, go west and north from the entrance, and continue on this path. Ignore the first passage north, but continue west and take the second path north to pick up a Chalk. Go back down and go all the way west, then go north all the way until the path goes west. Ignore the first path north, but continue west from here and follow the path to pick up a Life Potion at the end. Now backtrack and take that path north. From here, take the first path west, continue all the way to the end of the path, go north a little bit, then west, and take the last path south. Continue along this hallway until you hit the exit of this floor.

On the fifth floor, Senia continues with her story: it was then that her father chose her fiancee for her, and told Azu not to see her any more. While Azu told her that, they were attacked by a monster, whom Azu defeated. He said that Senia was an hindrance on him, so Senia decided to train by herself in the forest to become strong. But it wasn't long before she ran from the village to get away from the fiancee her father arranged for her. So, she came to Ien to become stronger. She thought Azu came to take her back out of concern for her (but instead, he was ordered to by her father). Anyway, here you'll find several people trapped in cells. Open the cells and speak with the people there; Eleonora will tell you that they were all captured by Memphis, and Azu was taken to the back room by Memphis himself. (You actually don't have to free them, but you really should...)

From the cells, go north and speak with Memphis. He'll tell you that his experiments are already finished, but he doesn't have time to deal with you himself. So, he sends his "creation" after you: the Mynos and Minotaurus. You should probably concentrate on the enemies one-at-a-time; if you have high enough spells, then it shouldn't be terribly difficult.

After defeating the two monsters, Senia unties Azu. She says the real reason she came here wasn't entirely to run from her father's arranged fiancee, but so that she could learn stronger magic and not be a burden on Azu. Azu says that his original purpose in coming here was to take Senia back home, under orders from her father, but now it's different: he wants to return so that he and Senia can live together. They can ask her father together--he's sure he'll understand. Senia happily agrees, and on this happy note the curtain drops.
