Story The Wild Bunch
Video Summary: The beginning of a legendary hero's tale. A contest of honor and interests.
(A cinematic plays)
Caesar: I have to take some of the blame for this accident as well
Caesar: We, the Sons of Calydon, must honor our guests with the finest funeral!
Caesar: Lighter!
Caesar: You will be carrying the coffin!
Lighter: That's a heavy responsibility
Caesar: We'll need to keep the hearse driving steady... Piper
Piper: Got it
Piper: I'll make sure it's a smooth send-off
Caesar: Burnice!
Caesar: Of course, you'll be handling the cremation
Burnice: You got it!
Burnice: Just gotta burn everything to ashes and smithereens?
Caesar: Lucy!
Caesar: Lu... Lucy?!
Lucy: Can you all — Stop! Goofing! Around!
Caesar: Come on, don't be upset. It's not every day we get to have a bit of fun with a cremation ceremony!
Lucy: You don't have fun at our guests' expense!
Lucy: Burnice!
Lucy: Put away the flamethrower! NOW!
Lucy: Ahhh! You guys are driving me nuts!
(SiblingSibling): (‍Wise,Wise, / Belle,Belle,‍) how are you feeling? Are you hurt?
Caesar: Sorry, sorry
Caesar: We got a little carried away
Caesar: Welcome to the Outer Ring. May you rise from the ashes!

Story Biker Gang Requirements
Video Summary: The beginning of a legendary hero's tale. A contest of honor and interests.
Story Description: Caesar informed you about Perlman's current situation, and you've struck a deal with the Sons of Calydon. Next, you'll be acting as their Proxy to help them win the Tour de Inferno.
After a short while—
Caesar: Phaethon, who would've thought you'd both end up here all because of an accident.
Caesar: Must've scared you back then, huh? Haha, relax. You two and Billy are thick as thieves, so that makes us friends.
Icon Dialogue Talk Is that a compliment?
(SiblingSibling): Uh... is that supposed to be a compliment?
Icon Dialogue Talk Right, we've been in the same boat for a long time.
(SiblingSibling): Ah, yeah, right. We've been partners in crime for a while now, haha.
Caesar: Time for a formal introduction. We're the Sons of Calydon, a biker gang from the Outer Ring. I'm the current boss, Caesar.
Caesar: Billy should have already told you why we invited you. The Sons of Calydon need a favor from you.
Caesar: As for Perlman, his airship crashed here in the Outer Ring during landing. He's lucky to be alive, but he's badly injured and hasn't woken up yet.
Icon Dialogue Talk Perlman is in your hands?
(SiblingSibling): (‍Wait, you mean... you have Perlman?Wait, you mean... you have Perlman? / What?! You mean... you have Perlman?What?! You mean... you have Perlman?‍)
Caesar: Yeah. Wait, didn't Lucy tell you?
Caesar: Don't worry, we'll make sure he heals up. And once he's awake, we'll hand him over to you.
Lucy: Ah, w–wait...
Lucy: Caesar, are you stupid? Negotiations haven't even started and you already handed over such an important bargaining chip?!
Caesar: Negotiations? Bargaining chip?
Caesar: Lucy, again with the pettiness. This kind of manipulation and leveraging — nuh-uh! That's not very Overlord-y.
Lucy: Ugh! Easy for you to say! I worked my butt off to keep this info under wraps just for today! If we can't strike a deal with Phaethon, where do you expect me to find a reliable Proxy for the Tour de Inferno?
Caesar: The Tour de Inferno is our business. I never planned to count on anyone else!
Caesar: Don't worry, Proxy. You coming to the Outer Ring is a sign of respect. Even if you don't agree to help us, I won't go back on my word about Perlman.
(SiblingSibling): Caesar, we appreciate your kindness, but as they say, "No work, no reward."
Icon Dialogue Talk (‍BelleBelle / WiseWise‍) is right.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍BelleBelle / WiseWise‍) is right. Actually, we only came today hoping to get a bit of information on Perlman. We could never have expected what you're offering.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Since you've been so honest with us, we'll do everything we can to help you.
Caesar: Haha, straight to the point! I like it! Can you relax a little now, Lucy?
Lucy: ...Ahem, thanks, Phaethon. Your willingness to help will be huge for us.
Icon Dialogue Talk What is the Tour de Inferno?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): So you need a Proxy for this Tour de Inferno you mentioned, right? What is it?
Caesar: Oh, the Tour de Inferno is the biggest event in the Old Oil Field. Only the strongest squads of bikers can compete. It's a test in the Hollows to find out who's the best!
Icon Dialogue Talk Can you tell us more about the commission details?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Can you give us more details about the commission?
Caesar: The Tour de Inferno we mentioned just now, that's what we need your help with, Proxy!
Caesar: This is the biggest event in the Old Oil Field. Only the strongest squads of bikers can compete. It's a test in the Hollows to find out who's the best!
Lucy: Caesar, there's no way they'll get it when you put it like that.
Lucy: Let me explain. Simply put, the Tour de Inferno is an off-road motorbike race that crosses through a Hollow.
Lucy: Only two teams compete, and the rules are simple — The first team to cross the Hollow, reach the finish point at Cinderglow Lake, and throw a Sparkstone into the lake wins.
Icon Dialogue Talk Such a dangerous race...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): I never knew you held such dangerous races here in the Outer Ring...
Lucy: Proxy, holding the Tour de Inferno isn't just for the thrill of it. It's also a way to regularly ensure the safety of our oil resources in the form of a race. After all, oil is the lifeblood of the Old Oil Field.
Icon Dialogue Talk What's the point of such a dangerous challenge?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): What's the point of such a dangerous challenge?
Lucy: The purpose of the Tour de Inferno is to regularly ensure the safety of our oil resources. After all, oil is the lifeblood of the Old Oil Field.
Lucy: Naturally, for us biker gangs, the Tour de Inferno also serves another purpose—
Lucy: The winner of the race becomes Overlord of the Old Oil Field Motor League!
Caesar: That's right, Phaethon, the Overlord is recognized as the top dog of the Motor League.
Caesar: The current Overlord's faction is called "The Vanquishers," and their boss held the title for years. I've been itching to challenge him for a while now!
Icon Dialogue Talk That's quite passionate...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): I see. Lofty aspirations...
Lucy: Haha, Caesar, if all you think about is shallow stuff like that, it won't be long before the Sons of Calydon are mine.
Icon Dialogue Talk It's all about honor, eh...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): So, the Sons of Calydon are all about honor?
Lucy: Haha, Proxy, the only one who'd give you that kind of answer is this simpleton right here.
Lucy: People are gunning for the Overlord spot for more than just becoming "the top dog." We're not some school kids hooked on fighting manga!
Lucy: The future of the oil industry in the Old Oil Field relies on the support of the Motor League, in every sense of the word.
Lucy: And as the leader of the Motor League, the Overlord is in charge of assigning transport routes. That means they hold real, tangible power.
Lucy: For the past six months, the Vanquishers have only given us the worst routes. They're definitely messing with us behind our backs!
Lucy: But when I went to confront them, that smug second-in-command Lucius just said, "The Overlord isn't in the Old Oil Field right now, and the routes are decided at random."
Caesar: Hmm... speaking of the Overlord, he hasn't been seen for half a year. Who knows what he's been doing.
Caesar: But Lucy, what are you afraid of? Even if the routes aren't great, with our skills it's nothing we can't handle.
Caesar: Besides, you're just mad because there's nowhere to buy makeup and snacks on these routes...
Lucy: Sh—Shut up, Caesar! Didn't we agree you wouldn't criticize me in front of guests?!
Caesar: Huh? You call that criticism? It's the truth. And you're the one who's always calling me an idiot. You think I don't have any self-respect?
Lucy: Ha! You ruin one's plans each time you open your mouth and expect me to praise you?
Caesar: Yeah yeah, Lady Lucy Montefio, I ruined your plans... Are you forgetting who's the one who was so excited about meeting the legendary Proxies that she couldn't sleep all night?
Lucy: Ugh... enough, Caesar! I challenge you to a duel! Today's the day for the Sons of Calydon to change hands!
Caesar: Heh, bring it on, then we'll see who's scared. Lighter, come here and be the judge!
Icon Dialogue Talk Um... what was that all about?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Um... what was that all about?
Icon Dialogue Talk Are they going to be okay?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Are they going to be okay?
Piper: It's fine, Proxy. Don't worry. This is a two-or-three-times-a-day kinda thing.
Burnice: Yeah, it's no big deal! Just don't get roped into being the referee, or you might end up on the wrong side of both of them.
Piper: Anyway, Proxies, it's great to have your help with the Tour de Inferno. Let's give it our best shot.
Piper: It's getting late, Proxy. Why don't we camp out here tonight?
Piper: The gas station here is closed, but it's totally safe here as it's not far from the town.
Icon Dialogue Talk So, about Perlman...
Piper: Oh, you mean that fugitive, right? Just like Caesar said, his airship crashed in the Outer Ring, and we found him~
Piper: We were about to hand him over to Public Security for a reward, but before he passed out, he kept yelling something like "Someone else is behind all this!" and "I've got proof!" so we kept him.
Icon Dialogue Talk (As we suspected, Perlman knows something!)
Piper: Oh? Your expression tells me that what he said must be important to you. Good to know.
Piper: Relax, only we know that he's with us, and we've stashed him in a secure spot for treatment.
Icon Dialogue Talk What about Caesar and Lucy?
Piper: Well, they're gonna be fighting for a bit longer, I'm afraid.
Piper: But don't worry 'bout it~ They usually duke it out far away, so they won't disrupt your sleep!
Icon Dialogue Talk No, that's not what I'm saying at all...
Icon Dialogue Talk I hope they'll patch things up soon.
Piper: Yeah, they fight and make up in a flash, even quicker than Steeltusk's engine eats gas.
Piper: Alright, let's save the chitchat for tomorrow and catch some Zs today. You must be beat.
Piper: Young guns need to get enough sleep to grow up healthy~
After a long day, we took the Sons of Calydon's generous offer and stayed overnight in Blazewood...
The next morning...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍(I was worried about sleeping somewhere new, and now it's morning already. My eyes feel much better after a good night's sleep.)(I was worried about sleeping somewhere new, and now it's morning already.

Morning in Blazewood

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story Morning in Blazewood
Video Summary: The beginning of a legendary hero's tale. A contest of honor and interests.
Story Description: Since you'll be staying in the Outer Ring for a while, (‍BelleBelle / WiseWise‍) started setting up a temporary workshop in Blazewood early in the morning. Meanwhile, Caesar suggested taking you to meet the town's mayor.
Billy: Morning, did you sleep well? You were exhausted yesterday, right? As soon as your head hit the pillow, you were out like a light.
Icon Dialogue Talk Billy, where are you going?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Billy, you look like you're getting ready to go somewhere.
Billy: Haha, actually it's the opposite. I just took the other Manager back to your store.
Icon Dialogue Talk Billy, where's (‍Belle?Belle? / Wise?Wise?‍)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Billy, where's (‍Belle?Belle? / Wise?Wise?‍) I haven't seen (‍her.her. / him.him.‍)
Billy: Oh, I just took 'em back to your store.
Billy: The other Manager and Caesar decided that they're going to move some of the equipment into your car and set up a mobile Proxy workshop.
Icon Dialogue Talk Move the HDD here?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): You mean moving the HDD equipment out here?
Billy: Right. The other Manager said working in the city would make communication difficult. Plus smart devices are few and far between in the Outer Ring, and long-range data transmission could slow us down.
Caesar: Oh, morning Proxy, you're awake.
Caesar: Billy's right, you'll be more efficient working from here in the Outer Ring.
Caesar: Don't worry, we'll take care of the power and network connection. Even in the Outer Ring, you'll be... walking on thin ice, hahaha!
Icon Dialogue Talk Suddenly feeling nervous about the work environment...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Hearing that makes me a little nervous about our new working environment, haha...Hearing that makes me a little nervous about our new working environment, haha... / Hearing you say that makes me a little nervous about our new working environment, hahaha...Hearing you say that makes me a little nervous about our new working environment, hahaha...‍)

Caesar: By the way, before the equipment arrives, let me take you to Blazewood and introduce you to the townsfolk.
Caesar: Lucy said you might not be used to roughing it with us, so I got the mayor to prepare a place for you.
Icon Dialogue Talk Oh, you shouldn't have.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Oh, you shouldn't have.
Caesar: It's no problem. After we get back from town, go talk to Lucy and the others.
Caesar: I heard from your (‍sistersister / brotherbrother‍) that you need to collect some Hollow data before the race.
Caesar: Lucy and the gang are also preparing for the Tour de Inferno. You should be able to help each other out!
(Talk to (‍BelleBelle / WiseWise‍) at Random Play, optional)
(SiblingSibling): (‍Hey, you're back already, Wise? Are you going to take some things to the Outer Ring?Hey, you're back already, Wise? Are you going to take some things to the Outer Ring? / You're back, Belle. Getting ready for your brief stay in the Outer Ring?You're back, Belle. Getting ready for your brief stay in the Outer Ring?‍)
Icon Dialogue Talk Yeah, I came back to pack.
Icon Dialogue Talk I'll help you load up the gear into the car.
(SiblingSibling): (‍Don't worry! I can handle it on my own!Don't worry! I can handle it on my own! / It's okay, I'll be done soon.It's okay, I'll be done soon.‍) The HDD port we specifically installed on the car will come in handy this time.
(SiblingSibling): It looks like Caesar and the others need to talk to you. You should go take care of that first.
Fairy: Take care, Master! We shall rendezvous once more! In the resplendent embrace of the wilderness!
Icon Dialogue Talk Has Fairy got a virus?
Icon Dialogue Talk Fairy sounds kinda gross...
(SiblingSibling): (‍Haha, that's Fairy for youHaha, that's Fairy for you / That's Fairy for youThat's Fairy for you‍) — she's usually so sharp, but she's giddy with excitement about the hardware going to the Outer Ring.
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Greet the mayor with Caesar
The considerate Sons of Calydon have arranged our stay in Blazewood and intend to introduce us to the town mayor. Follow Caesar and greet the mayor.

The Legend Begins

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story The Legend Begins
Video Summary: The beginning of a legendary hero's tale. A contest of honor and interests.
Story Description: The mayor and Caesar shared with you the legend of the Tour de Inferno. Many years ago, the first Overlord leaped into Cinder Lake to save the oil but was miraculously saved by the gods. Caesar's words were filled with admiration for the hero.
Caesar: Kasa, I brought the Proxy to say hi!
Kasa: Oh Caesar, so this is the Proxy from the city? Guess folks from New Eridu start workin' young, just like us.
Icon Dialogue Talk Caesar, who is this young lady?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Caesar, who is this young lady?
Kasa: Young lady? Haha, you city folks talk funny.
Kasa: I'm Kasa, the mayor of Blazewood. The Sons of Calydon have taken good care of our town, so if you need anything, just let me know.
Kasa: You can stay in the house behind me tonight. Sorry, it's still got some stuff that hasn't been moved out, but I'll get someone to clean it up.
Caesar: Hey Kasa, I noticed a lot of people in town making these woven items.
Kasa: We don't have a choice. The pipeline to town still isn't fixed. Without a gas station, all we can do is make handicrafts to earn a living.
Kasa: Luckily, we got a big order recently, and with the Tour de Inferno coming up, the Sunflints are selling like hotcakes.
Icon Dialogue Talk Sunflint?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): What's a Sunflint?
Kasa: Oh, it's a kind of handicraft woven from straw. During the Tour de Inferno, almost every house in the Old Oil Field hangs them up.
(Sunflint added to the Workbench)
Sunflint
Intelligence Sunflint
A craft made from straw in Blazewood. For the residents of the Old Oil Field district, it's also an important decoration for the Tour de Inferno. The center of the ring bears a unique image. It likely holds some significance.
Icon Dialogue Talk The pattern looks like a face.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): The pattern looks like a face.
Caesar: Haha, the elders say this is the face of the God of Sun and Fire, who guides heroes to ignite Cinder Lake and return safely from the Hollow.
Caesar: But there's another saying, the upside-down person on the Sunflints is the first Overlord of the Motor League.
Icon Dialogue Talk The pattern looks like an upside-down person.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): This pattern looks like an upside-down person...
Caesar: Wow, Proxy! You're pretty smart! The upside-down figure is the first Overlord of the Motor League.
Caesar: Of course, the elders in the Outer Ring also say this design is the face of the God of Sun and Fire, guiding the hero to ignite Cinder Lake and return safely from the Hollow.
Icon Dialogue Talk There must be a story behind this special pattern.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Such a unique pattern must have a story behind it, right?
Caesar: Yup! Actually, this pattern represents the legend of the first Overlord's Tour de Inferno.
Caesar: Though the Old Oil Field can still produce oil, did you know the core oil field was swallowed up by a Hollow decades ago?
Icon Dialogue Talk Isn't oil susceptible to Ether Corruption?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Wait, isn't oil susceptible to Ether Corruption?
Kasa: Mhm. After the disaster, Etheric Matter seeped through the underground facilities and oil pumps, ruining the shallow oil reserves.
Kasa: But luckily, the collapse of the only deep drilling facility formed a unique natural gas vent. The burning gas kept the Etheric Matter from spreading further down.
Icon Dialogue Talk So the natural gas vent is Cinderglow Lake?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): So the natural gas vent is Cinderglow Lake?
Kasa: The appearance of Cinder Lake saved everyone's livelihoods in the Old Oil Field.
Kasa: But even with Cinder Lake, we can't rest easy... Natural gas and Etheric Matter burning together can easily turn into Ether crystals, building up around the lake.
Kasa: If left unchecked, more and more crystals will build up and eventually block the vent, putting out Cinder Lake. If that happens, the underground oil will be doomed.
Caesar: There was a time when Cinder Lake nearly went out.
Caesar: In order to save it, a young man and his friends risked their lives to enter the Hollow and blast open an Ether crystal using a special Sparkstone. Just like the one in my hand.
(Sparkstone added to the Workbench)
Sparkstone
Intelligence Sparkstone
The proof of entry for the Tour de Inferno, filled with a special catalytic fuel. After throwing it into the Cinder Lake, it can react with the natural gasses and Ether compounds to detonate an explosion, clearing the Ether crystals nearby.
Caesar: But the Hollow was treacherous, and they didn't even have a Carrot with them. By the time they reached Cinder Lake, it was almost completely covered with crystals.
Caesar: Out of desperation, the young man rode his bike into the only spot that was still burning in Cinder Lake, and managed to ignite it.
Icon Dialogue Talk So, in memory of his sacrifice...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): So, everyone makes Sunflints in memory of his sacrifice...
Caesar: Hahaha! Oh, Proxy, I never said the first Overlord died there!
Kasa: It's normal for the Proxy to think that way. After all, everyone who went to Cinder Lake with him thought he was dead. But a day later, he miraculously emerged from the Hollow alive.
Kasa: Folks say the god of the Sun and Fire was moved by his bravery, allowing him to be reborn from the flames.
Kasa: Since then, the residents have drawn his face and the image of him diving into Cinder Lake on their Sunflints. There's even a line from a folk song that goes "Diving into the fiery sea, the hero returns valiantly."
Icon Dialogue Talk That's a great story.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): That's a great story. No wonder it's widely told.
Caesar: Uh-huh, kids in the Old Oil Field grow up hearing that story. I used to play games pretending to be the first Overlord in the Tour de Inferno.
Icon Dialogue Talk Glad it has a happy ending.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Glad the story has a happy ending.
Caesar: Haha, right, if it ended tragically, the Tour de Inferno wouldn't be so epic!
Caesar: Of course, the first Overlord did more than that! After he returned, he gathered all the biker gangs in the Old Oil Field and formed the Motor League.
Caesar: He also made the rule that the Tour de Inferno would be held every few years to prevent a similar crisis at Cinder Lake.
Kasa: Yeah, that's why the Tour de Inferno continues to this day. It's still a feat only the strongest bikers can accomplish. But for us residents, it's become more of a festival.
Caesar: Looks like we lost track of time chatting about the Tour de Inferno.
Icon Dialogue Talk It's an interesting topic.
Icon Dialogue Talk It's useful to a Proxy's work.
Caesar: I'm glad you think so.
Caesar: I need to talk to Kasa about powering your equipment, Proxy. Why don't you head back to the gas station and meet Lucy and the others?
(Idle)
Caesar: I hear the equipment consumes a lot of power, so I don't think we can use batteries this time.
Kasa: Perhaps we can run a wire from the town.
(Talk to Caesar, optional)
Caesar: You should go back and find Lucy, Proxy. I'll catch up soon.
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Discuss the preparations with Lucy
It seems preparations are necessary before the Tour de Inferno. Ask Lucy for more Details.

Overlord's Purpose

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story Overlord's Purpose
Video Summary: The beginning of a legendary hero's tale. A contest of honor and interests.
Story Description: In contrast to Caesar, Lucy realistically noted that winning the Tour de Inferno is about securing the interests of the Sons of Calydon. To ensure everything goes smoothly, you need to focus on pre-race preparations.
Lucy: Proxy, you made it.
Burnice: Proxy, didn't Caesar say you were just going to meet the mayor? What took you so long?
Icon Dialogue Talk We talked about the Tour de Inferno.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): We saw the Sunflints in Blazewood and ended up hearing the legend of the Tour de Inferno.
Burnice: Haha, so that's why Caesar was so pumped up. After all, that's her favorite story.
Burnice: She even said her dream is to become a hero, just like the first Overlord.
Lucy: Hmph, if she really wants to be like the first Overlord, she'd better forget those childish fairy tales fast.
Icon Dialogue Talk The first Overlord really existed, right?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): But the first Overlord was a real person though, right?
Lucy: Exactly, and it's because he actually existed that we should look at him objectively, no?
Icon Dialogue Talk You're not a fan of this legend, Lucy?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): You're not a fan of this legend, Lucy?
Lucy: It's not that I dislike it, but come on, we're all grown-ups here. We should look at things realistically, don't you think?
Lucy: I mean, the Tour de Inferno only happened a few decades ago. How come it's turned into this huge legend?
Lucy: But using an act of god to spread his story far and wide? The first Overlord must've been pretty smart.
Burnice: Lucy, Caesar said this kind of old person talk will give you wrinkles.
Lucy: Nonsense! Don't listen to her lies. I use exfoliating face masks every day, no way I'll get wrinkles.
Lucy: Ahem, Proxy, you can see it too, right? The Tour de Inferno is less about heroics and more about the first Overlord securing control of the Old Oil Field.
Icon Dialogue Talk Your thinking is like a city entrepreneur.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): That's a very realistic take. It sounds like something a New Eridu entrepreneur would say.
Burnice: Wow, Proxy, you're so smart. Lucy is actually from New Eridu!
Icon Dialogue Talk Speaking of which, Caesar called you "Montefio"...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Speaking of which, yesterday Caesar called you "Montefio." Lucy, are you related to the prestigious New Eridu Montefio family?
Lucy: Ha, prestigious? You're being a bit too generous to new money, aren't you? But yeah, we're family.
Icon Dialogue Talk You gave up city life?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): So you're from the city? What made you give up that life?
Lucy: It's because I never wanted that kind of life where everything is already laid out for you. Plus my dad only cares about profits and business.
Burnice: Exactly, it's different in the Outer Ring! Especially in the Old Oil Field, the Motor League is all about freedom and justice.
Lucy: Ha, that's what they say, but to survive, you can't forget about profits and business.
Lucy: Take the Sons of Calydon, for example. Employees need paychecks, vehicles need maintenance, and we need supplies that the city won't sell us, which means we need connections and money.
Lucy: Proxy, I wasn't just making it up when I said the Overlord's faction is targeting us. The Sons of Calydon have had better rep than The Vanquishers these past few years. So, of course they're jealous.
Lucy: But the recent bad routes we've been getting have hurt our income and recruiting new members has been an issue.
Lucy: So, for the future survival of the Sons of Calydon, we have to take the Overlord's title.
Icon Dialogue Talk You've got things figured out.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): You've got it all figured out.
Icon Dialogue Talk It's good to have you around.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍It's good to have you helping with the preparations for the Tour de Inferno.It's good to have you helping with the preparations for the Tour de Inferno. / It's good to have someone like you helping with the preparations for the Tour de Inferno.It's good to have someone like you helping with the preparations for the Tour de Inferno.‍)
Lucy: Haha, I knew someone as sharp as Phaethon would get it. Brute strength and passion alone won't get you far.
Lucy: Just watch, it won't be long before I beat Caesar and take the Sons of Calydon from her, haha!
Burnice: Lucy, you wouldn't admit it earlier, but it turns out you lost last night.
Lucy: N—No, I didn't lose! It was just a momentary truce!
Lucy: After all, prepping for the Tour de Inferno is what's most important now. I can put becoming the boss on the backburner.
Lucy: Proxy, let's talk business. The other Phaethon mentioned this morning that the lack of Hollow data in the Outer Ring is affecting your ability to perform in the Hollows.
Lucy: So for now, we'll be going into the Hollows with you to gather data.
Burnice: Oh, I also need your help with something! The vehicles for the Tour de Inferno need some modifications. We need to get hold of the necessary parts.
At the same moment...
(SiblingSibling): (‍Wise, I'm back!Wise, I'm back! / Belle, I'm back!Belle, I'm back!‍)

(SiblingSibling): No need, I just tested the voltage and network speed here. The HDD is working fine.
(SiblingSibling): Fairy and Eous are pretty excited to be in the Outer Ring, but it's a new environment, so it'll take some getting used to.
Icon Dialogue Talk Let's warm up.
