Bellonde, while paying respects to his sister, had met the mysterious girl, who looked much less like a child. Her story is really strange as she claims to have been in Nisha Labyrinth, and that only now was she allowed to leave the forest. After a confrontation with a monster, Gaia decides to give the girl a name, Laby, based on the location.
Bellonde:Ah... Ahem, pardon me... It was rude of me to ask without properly introducing myself.
Bellonde:My name is Bellonde. I'm a traveler. I've come to visit as I had something to do here.
???:Blondie!! That sounds warm!!
Bellonde:It's Bellonde, not Blondie... More importantly, could you tell me who you are, and how you've come all the way here in this forest?
???:Me? I... I've never come out here before, but I always stayed in the forest!
Bellonde:You were always here? How could that be? This forest is full of demonic energy. It's impossible for any normal human being to even approach this place.
Bellonde:... You are lying to me. If you don't tell me why you're here...
???:Eh?! No!! Really!! I wouldn't lie!!
???:Anyways, what's the thing you said before? Demonic energy?
???:You see, I was here for a reeaaaally long time, but I've never met a human before! Is it because of that demonic energy?
Bellonde:Do you... really not know anything?
Some... body...
???:Eh? Did somebody call us?
???:Ooooh! There must be another human somewhere!!
Bellonde:That unnatural voice as if it's mimicking something... That has to be...
Help... me...
???:Hang on!! I'll help!!
Bellonde:Wait!
???:Why? We have to hurry!! What if they're in danger?!
Bellonde:No, it's likely a monster's trap. It's dangerous to rush without caution.
???:Mm, really? Then...
???:Let's go together, Blondie!
Bellonde:Excuse me?
???:I just came out, so I'm not sure what's going on... But they need help, so let's go help!
???:Cause... It's lonely when you're by yourself, right?
A meeting by the cemetery in Black Forest. The man's expression were something unfamiliar to the girl.
Quest Completion Dialogue
???:Awww... We're going into the forest again...!
???:And there's so many things getting in our way!
Bellonde:We did defeat some on our way, but there are still many monsters hiding around us. Even after so many years... this forest is still dangerous...
Bellonde:Hm...
Bellonde:Anyway, I'd like to hear the answer to my earlier question. Who are you? Where are you from?
???:Whoa! Weird! You want to know the answer?
???:Because I want to know too!!
Bellonde:...!
???:Ah! I know where I'm from! Can you see? Way over there! I come from the night you see over there!!
???:Mm... Maybe it's not there but over theeeeeere? Anyways! It's much darker than here!!
Bellonde:Somewhere... darker...? Do you mean the center of the forest?
???:Oooh... that 'center' word, that's really cool!
Bellonde:Hm...
???:You know, the center, where I'm from, was reeeaaally dark! And I was there in the dark for a very, very, very! long time!
???:But earlier, there was a blue light that went Flash!! And I was able to come out!!
???:It's so amazing!! Everything is so amazing!!
Bellonde:Hm? What do you mean you were able to come out...? Were you not able to before?
???:Yeah... I was told I can't...
???:So I couldn't...
Bellonde:I never heard there was someone imprisoned in the Black Forest... What is going on?
Bellonde:Who told you that you couldn't leave?
???:Well... the voice... um...
???:Mmm... I don't remember... I don't want to think about it...
Bellonde:Oh, if it's an unpleasant memory, you don't have to force yourself.
Bellonde:... I wasn't considerate. I apologize...
???:Mmm, it's ok! You just wanted to know!
Save... me...
???:Ahh!! The voice from earlier!!
Bellonde:It's very close. I sense more monsters ahead, so let's be careful.
They followed the voice and found a small monster hiding in the bushes.
Quest Acceptance Dialogue
???:I thought the voice came from somewhere around here... Where is it?
It has to be close...
???:Over here...
???:Oh, over there! By the bushes!
Bellonde:That's...
Small Monster:......
???:This is not a human!
Bellonde:It's a monster. Although it's small...
Small Monster:Help... me...
???:Yes! I'm here to help! Are you hurt?
Bellonde:...?
Bellonde:Something's wrong. There are no monsters nearby, even though we were attacked by a group just moments ago. It's eerily quiet...
Small Monster:Here... Inside...
???:Wait right there! I'll help!!
Bellonde:A small monster asking for help... A bush big enough to hid several people... wait, to hide...?
Bellonde:... could it be?
Bellonde:Stop! It's a trap!!
???:Huh?
Small Monster:You've come...
Grrrr....
Bellonde:Kugh, I knew it... It was a trap! Stand back, I'll...!
???:Wait... What happened to the little one that asked for help? Did you take him?
???:He asked for help!! Give him back!!
Bellonde:That power...!
Quest Completion Dialogue
???:We came here because we heard 'Help me...'
???:Why is the little one glued to this bug one's butt?!
Bellonde:As i suspected. The voice that called us here is this monster. This, is a a monster that lures its prey deep into the forest by imitating the voice of its prey.
Bellonde:I heard that people who wandered into the forest often never came back... Perhaps this is one of the reasons.
???:So this guy tricked us!
???:That means nobody actually needed help, right? That's good!
Bellonde:Good...? I don't understand... It tried to trick you, and harm you.
???:Hm... No one's harmed, and we scolded the one that tricked us, so it's all good!
???:Right?
Bellonde:Well... That is true...
Bellonde:Hm... Anyway where are you headed next? Do you have a destination?
???:Destination? Where? What's outside the forest?
Bellonde:What do you mean...? Are you by yourself? What about your family?
???:What's a family?
Bellonde:Ah...
Bellonde:Then... Do you have a name...?
???:Name? My name...
???:Blondie! I want to be Blondie!! I like it cause it sounds warm!
Bellonde:Hm? But that is my name... I mean my name is Bellonde, but...
Bellonde:There are people who share names... But each name holds its own meaning and wishes. Deciding something like that so flippantly...
???:Hm! You're greedy, aren't you! You don't want to share!
Bellonde:......
Bellonde:Ha, hahaha. Greedy! Nobody told me that before.
???:Eh? Mm... That was not a good thing!
Bellonde:......
Bellonde:Ha... You don't know your name, you don't know your family, and you claim you're from deep within the forest. It's hard to believe everything yo told me.
Bellonde:It's also hard to believe that you're not influenced by all this demonic energy but...
Bellonde:You're standing right in front of me, so I guess It'll have to accept that as truth.
???:Is demonic energy, this thing around the forest? What does 'influenced by' mean?
Bellonde:I was told... that demonic energy is a violent, heavy energy that demons use.
Bellonde:Not only does it make monsters more violent, but demonic energy sometimes influences humans as well... and that demonic energy is very thick here in the Black Forest.
???:Demonic energy! So this is demonic energy! In that case, demonic energy was here for a reeeaaaally long time!
Bellonde:Yes, we were exposed to it for a long time, ever since we were walking from the cemetery.
Bellonde:I'm fine, since I'm trained, but if I were an average person, I might have gone insane or have shown other negative side effects.
Bellonde:But you don't seem affected either. Earlier, you ever showed great power.
???:Other people are not like this? Am I a demon then?
Bellonde:Honestly... I'm not sure. But I heard demons harm and exploit others. Unlike you, who9 rushed to help someone you didn't even know.
Bellonde:And as I said earlier, demons use demonic energy. But you've never used anything similar to the energy surrounding this forest. Not even once.
Bellonde:So even though nothing is certain... I want to believe you're not a demon.
???:My power? Anyway, what it 'Believe'? You were saying this word over and over again.
Bellonde:Hm? It means... that I accept what you said.
Bellonde:I accept that you told me the truth, and will act as such.
???:Believe... must be a wonderful thing!! Thank you for believing me Blondie!!
Bellonde:Ah... It's not that I believe everything...
Bellonde:In any case, do you remember what I told you earlier? That people who wander into the forest often never make it back out?
???:Yah! You said it's because of the meanie earlier, right?
Bellonde:This forest, now called the Black Forest, used to be called by another name in the past.
Bellonde:The Maze of Night, 'Nisha Labyrinth'.
???:Nisha... Labring!
Bellonde:... Labyrinth...
Bellonde:It was a name given for its ever-lasting night, and it's tendency to lead people astray. Since you come from the Black Forest, how about we name you after it?
