Chapter Summery: What could have happened with Donpa when Shu, Jiro and Kluke visited the Sheep Tribe Camp-Wilderness next.
"Oh! You guys are the people from before!" Donpa said when they approached him.
Shu looked up at him, "You're acting pretty high and mighty, but the one who defeated the monster was…"
Donpa interrupted, "Shhh! I'd like to you to keep quiet about that for a little while. Thing are going really well with people giving me credit for that. I'll give you this, too."
Donpa handed Shu a Mega Medicine. "So, help me out with that stuff, okay. It's our little secret."
"How dare you." Kluke hissed. "You think you can bribe us into silence, into going along with your story?!"
They had started to draw the attention of the whole Sheep Tribe Camp.
"That we would let you use our actions to lie your way into power? We killed the monster, while you hide and watched. And I don't blame you for that. I have no idea what you could have done against it except die. Even I wouldn't have tried to face it alone. But these lies…"
Kluke was glaring up at Donpa and it must have looked comical. This young woman, barely more than a girl, with no weapon, staring down a Sheep Tribesman who she had to tilt her head back to even look in the eyes. And he was shrinking back from her. But then wasn't that at the heart of the matter; that none of the rest of the Sheep Tribe had seen Kluke fight and Donpa had, had seen her kill a massive monster with nothing but a bird-shaped Shadow breathing Fire and her two friends supporting her, while he'd hide from the same monster, only daring to venture forth once she'd won the battle.
"I think that unless you want to prove you were the one that slayed it, then you should tell your tribe the truth."
The venom in Kluke's voice, the look on her face, told Donpa very clearly that it would be very unwise to choose that option. He suspected that 'proving himself', meant either fighting her or a similar monster.
"Now!"
Set: Blue Dragon Game, First Disc, after the first proper boss fight, Sheep Tribe Camp Wilderness.
The italicized text at the beginning is taken directly from the game.
It always annoyed me you couldn't refuse to be complicate in Donpa's lies when they are directly responsible for him becoming the leader of the Sheep Tribe Camp Wilderness.
