"Well, here we are, everyone," Sachio said. "Greenehorne Castle. But where are Yardi and Saff?"

"We'll probably find them inside," Vinny remarked, walking into the castle's gate.

Susumu took a look around once she got inside the castle. "Gosh..." She breathed. "I've never even SEEN a castle before, let alone go inside one. But... It's going to be hard to find Yardi, isn't it?"

However, it wasn't long before they heard a particularly loud voice coming from one of the rooms. "I think that answers our question," Vinny commented.

"ANDTHERE'STHISGUYNAMEDSAFFANDHE'SPROBABLYGONNASTEALYOURDAUGHTERAND-"

"Yardi!" Yardi stopped his rant when he heard Susumu calling out to him. "Are you in there? We've been looking for- SWEET GARADEN ABOVE WHO IS THAT?!"

"Hey, Susumu! I heard you screaming and- AAUUUGHH!"

When Vinny entered the room, however, he wasn't as shocked as the others. "Well... Looks like we've found the king."

Wait, THIS is the king? Susumu was a bit shocked at that. He was... Well, HUGE, to say the least, and yet... His face was... Tiny?! "A-are you... King Keith?"

"Why yes, I am," the king responded. "And you... Must be friends of this strange boy here? He came in talking about someone coming to steal my daughter... But... I don't even HAVE a daughter, is the thing."

"Wait, you don't?" Sachio was confused. "But... We heard there was a princess here, and..."

"Oh! You must mean Louie," Keith explained. "Honestly, I don't know what his deal is. He just sort of... Showed up one day and told everyone to call him a princess. I... Actually don't have the heart to tell him off, so he just kind of stayed here."

"Well... We'll just have to go tell him to be careful!" Yardi stated. "There's this guy named Saff who's coming here to get him, and what's more, he's gonna brag about how HE saved Susumu! HIM, of all people! Who does that-"

"Yardi's point is, Saff is lying," Vinny continued. "Susumu didn't need saving. She was with us the whole time. Watch out for that Saff guy, okay? He doesn't seem like a very good person at all."

"Is that so?" Keith remarked. "If what you say is really true, then... You'd better go tell Louie, right? He's staying in the next room. This Saff... He sounds like some kind of lowlife."

"Yeah, that's what I said!" Yardi exclaimed. "Come on, let's go warn the princess!"

"Yardi, wait!" Sachio tried to stop him. "We shouldn't just-"

Too late. "PRINCESS LOUIE!" Yardi charged into Louie's room, without even bothering to knock.

"WHAT IN GARADEN'S-!"

There was a loud commotion for a few seconds, and once the group got into Louie's room, he had... Already beaten up Yardi. "Urf... This... Louie guy's stronger than he looks..."

At that moment, Louie turned around to face the group. "What in Garaden's name is- Oh." He suddenly calmed down at the sight of the group. "Who the heck are you?"

"Princess Louie, my name is Susumu," Susumu explained. "And these are my friends. That's also my friend that you're, uh, stepping on there. He was... Trying to warn you about something."

"Oh. Uh... Sorry 'bout that then." Louie reached down to help Yardi up. "Anyway, uh... This Sus'mu girl... She says ya came to warn me 'bout somethin'?"

"Her name is 'Susumu', not 'Sus'mu'," Yardi groaned. "And yes, we did. There's this guy named Saff, and he's on his way here for you right now! We don't know what he wants, but... He was calling you sweet and all that!"

"Isn't that what I said? Sus'mu?" Louie shrugged. "Anyway... What's this Saff guy goin' on 'bout? There's only one guy I care 'bout that much. Name's Todd. ...Come to think of it, I haven't seen him in a while. Knowin' him, he's probably gotten himself into some kinda trouble. Say, ya know, you look like a buncha strong travelers. Ya think ya could, ya know, go after Todd for me?"

"Well, we could, but..." Sachio remarked. "You're... Really strong. Like, seriously. Can't you just go out and find him yourself?"

"Oh, uh... No, I can't, actually," Louie admitted. "I would if I could but... It's not in the script."

"The... What now?" Susumu was confused.

"Nevermind. Anyway, uh... If ya find Todd, could ya bring him back here for me?" Louie asked. "He's probably somewhere around the village, so he shouldn't be too hard to find."

"Well, everyone... I guess we don't have a choice," Susumu sighed. With that, the group set out to go find... Louie's friend, as it were.
