48th moon [Let's do the 4th wall agaaaiiiin!]

[There is alcohol. There are sandwiches. There are Clefairies. There is Cresselia. There is, of course, Cecil.

Has Mt. Moon ever been so inviting before?]

I knew buying those bottles was a good idea.

[Hell no it hasn't.]

I surely hope so, in those circumstances.

[Except that his tactic of "stand there and brood" apparently always backfires and just draws curious women toward him...]

[paladinlost]

After all, you cannot rely on your armor against such a peril.

[It's the hair, he should shave it.]

[dragoon_pride]

Those are truly the most maddening kinds of perils. I prefer something I can fight and conquer.

[Noooo not the pretty very manly hair!]

[paladinlost]

...Lamias? Amazons? Vampiresses?

[Is it the source of his beauty strength?]

[dragoon_pride]

At least those can be defeated in a proper battle.

[It is indeed, you are right!]

[paladinlost]

Yet they are naturally more dangerous than most women.

[So now we just need a honey trap that can cut it while he sleeps.]

[dragoon_pride]

Yet I understand how to handle them.

[Anyone who dared would regret it.]

[paladinlost]

...Perhaps a few of them are secretly nice.

[For a few seconds before their extremely painful death?]

[dragoon_pride]

Do you really think that? Truly?

[Basically... yes, this.]

[paladinlost]

Humans and animals both vary in temperament. Surely monsters are the same?

[...If Rosa was the one to do it...]

[dragoon_pride]

I've never considered that. Although some would call all dragons monsters, and I know that not all of those are...

[Rosa would be the one exception, of course.]

[paladinlost]

Therefore, it must apply to other species.

[Now there's a plan that might work.]

[dragoon_pride]

Perhaps, but I've yet to encounter any.

[Yes. Yes, it has a chance at that.]

[paladinlost]

...We do tend to attack them on sight.

[Awesome. Oh Roooosaaaa deaaaaaar~]

[dragoon_pride]

Usually because they attack us first.

[She wouldn't!]

[paladinlost]

...It became a vicious circle at some point, did it.

[Weeeell, if he offers to trade her favors...]

[dragoon_pride]

It seems that way... and one which would be difficult to break.

[He wouldn't! ...would he...?]

[paladinlost]

And who would bother trying in the first place?

[Not unless it becomes truly necessary.]

[dragoon_pride]

I wouldn't know. Certainly not us, we've a duty to protect ourselves and others from the threat that monsters pose.

[Ah, he's much relieved.]

[paladinlost]

And thus the situation will never change.

[dragoon_pride]

A pity, but that's how things are.

[paladinlost]

I could almost feel bad for them.

[dragoon_pride]

I wouldn't feel too bad.

[paladinlost]

...You are most certainly right in this case.

[dragoon_pride]

Only in this case?
