‥‥ちょ ちょっとモリスンさん！
自分のリサイタルと かんちがいしてません？
木こりの体験について
きちんと説明してあげてください！
さっき 他のライフを体験してきましたけど
みなさん 丁寧に説明してましたよ。
それと ついでだから言わせてもらいますけど
脱いだら脱ぎっぱなし食べたら食べっぱなし‥‥
もう用意してありますよーだ。
お客さま こちらをどうぞ！
よくお似合いです！
木こりジャーナルの表紙かと思うくらい
似合ってます！
わたしがお供します！
このあたりで
手ごろな木を探せばいいでしょう？
わかりますけど
でも‥‥
コニファーの木って
初心者にはむずかしくないですか？
‥‥そうですか わかりました。
では パーテル大平原をめざして
出発しましょう！
それでは よろしくお願いします！
目的地に着いたわ。
伐採のやり方を教えますね。
でも コニファーの木って
ベテランでも手こずる木なんです。
モリスンさんがどうして この木を選んだのか
じつは よくわからないんですが‥‥。
とりあえず伐ってみましょうか。
コニファー原木を３つ採ったら帰りましょう。
初めての体験で コニファーの木を３本も！
もうなんていうか すごいです！
モリスンさんは へんな歌をうたいながらも
あなたの素質を見抜いてたんですね。
早くモリスンさんのところに戻って
よろこばせてあげましょうよ！
あ そうそう
またたく間に帰ることも可能ですよ？
では 急ぎましょう。
目をつむってください。
わかりました。
寄り道は ほどほどでお願いしますね。
モリスンさん どうしたんですか？
素直にほめてあげればいいじゃないですか。
新人さんの素質を見抜いていたから
コニファーの木を選んだんじゃないんですか？
ど どうしてですか！？
でも だからって
せっかくの「たいけんばん」のお客さまを‥‥。
だけど まさかのできごとが起こった。
新人さん コニファーの木を伐り倒しちゃった！
弟子にするってこと？
モリスンさんの へんてこりんな歌はともかく
わたしも 待ってますよ！
いっしょに木を伐りに出かけたこと
忘れないでくださいね！
森と心を通わせられるのが
木こりだって教わりました。
だから 斧が重くて持てないわたしも
木こりのひとりです。
よい木を探したり 苗を植えたり
森の声を聞くのが わたしの仕事ですから。
The Fledgling Woodcutter 83
Oh, hey! Are you the aspiring Woodcutter we heard
about?
Great! All right, take it away, Forrest!
Forrest! I...I don't think that's going to cut it...so
to speak.
You have to actually TEACH people how to cut
the wood, remember? Not just sing about it?
Sometimes I wish I'd chosen another discipline. The
other Masters actually instruct their pupils.
How is it you have so much energy to cut trees and
so little to devote to anything else?
Oh! I didn't mean that...
And look, we've been ignoring this poor Novice.
Sorry!
My dad sent you here to speak with Forrest, right?
Good! Well, it's nice to meet you, [Name 1].
As you might have gathered, this is Forrest, one of
the most talented Woodcutters in Reveria.
And I'm Monika, a Novice Woodcutter.
I help Forrest out with various tasks, and he's
teaching me the trade. Kind of.
Come on, Forrest! Now's not the time.
I think [Name 1] would really like to learn how
to swing an axe today.
Well! Look who can teach up a storm when he
wants to.
Good luck, [Name 1]. I've got some errands,
so I'll catch up with you later.
Hey, check it out, [Player]. Oak Trees!
I mean...sorry. It might have been more fun for you
to discover them on your own.
I'm just trying to be helpful. I know I try a little too
hard sometimes.
So I'll just stand back and let you do your thing.
Good luck!
Oh, one more thing: be sure to have your axe
equipped before you start!
And one last tiny, TINY thing. If you're low on SP,
just drink some Apple Juice!
You did it, [Player]! Nice work!
Sorry. Did I sound too much like your instructor?
Maybe I should go into teaching...
Well, anyway, you did a great job. Let's go check
in with Forrest and tell him about it.
Yeah...so Forrest sometimes talks about "forest
spirits." We're not sure what he means.
I mean, nobody I know has ever seen one.
What?! Are you saying I'm not a friend of the forest?
Oh yes, well, of course the Forest Lady is real. But
only the Forest Protector can summon her, right?
OK, [Player], let's go!
There's a timber merchant in the Artisan District.
Let's see what kinds of prices he's offering.
Aw, it was nothing. Don't mention it.
Anyway, I've come to introduce you to our newest
Novice Woodcutter. Say hello to [Name 1]!
Well, technically...but it's Forrest who's really
doing the teaching.
Yep, you're right, as always. These fell to
[Name 1]. Not bad for a first assignment!
We've got three of them for you today, straight
from the woods.
Great. Thanks!
Well, how does it feel to make your first sale as an
official Woodcutter, [Name 1]?
Hey, let's go tell him how the sale went. He'll
probably sing you a song...
We're off! Thanks again, and see you later.
C'mon. I'll show you where the carpentry
workshop is.
He's talking to someone from the castle. Maybe we
shouldn't interrupt.
Maybe we should go rescue Forrest from this
conversation...
Perfectly well. We got a good price for the logs.
But what's all this about you getting an Elder Log?
That's a crazy request!
Right! Isn't finding a log like that simply a matter
of luck?
My dad told me that some Woodcutters go their
whole careers without finding a single one.
The odds of finding one randomly are like...one in
a million!
It's my dad, isn't it?
But now Dad is...well...
He's certainly not cutting much wood, that's for
sure.
Wow, [Player]!
I was just out looking for Heyho...
when I heard the whoosh and crack of a mighty
axe stroke!
And it turned out to be YOU...felling one of the
biggest trees I've ever seen!
Uh...hello?
Is there someone else here, [Player]? Who
were you talking to?
Sorry, [Player]. I didn't mean to be rude. I'm just
getting a weird feeling we're not alone.
Well, no matter. Let's get that beautiful log over to
the Carpenters' workshop right away!
The Minister is going to freak out!
Well, now that you mention it... Voilà!
Oh, but it is. An authentic Elder Log.
No, sir. The Woodcutter who felled this log is
standing before you right now.
[Player]!
Hey, we're happy to help. We're Woodcutters!
Right, [Player]?
All right, I suppose we should report back to
Forrest. Off we go!
Good-bye, and take care, sir!
That's right! And the Minister was overjoyed. Now
they can make a special wardrobe for the queen.
Absolutely not!
[Name 2] really is a prodigy. And I think
it's time for a promotion!
But Dad is...
Right here?! What...what are you doing here?
Dad...
You could start by recognizing [Name 2]
as an official Woodcutter.
Congratulations, [Name 2]!
You're not a Novice anymore!
Isn't that great?
If your arms are getting tired, you might be low on
SP. Try drinking some Apple Juice!
Oh, it looks like you already have some.
Well, give me a shout if you need more. I'm always
happy to share.
You should probably talk to Forrest first.
Have you equipped your axe? If not, just open up
the Gear menu and tap the axe icon.
*sigh* I wish Dad took woodcutting more seriously...
Reserve2 38
You must be the Novice Woodcutter
I've heard so
much about! Hello!
I'm Monika.
Your name is [Name 1], right?
You know my dad already, right?
I hope he hasn't
been too much of a pain.
So, anyway, how can I help you?
You want to sell Oak Logs at the market? Really?
Let me guess...my Dad told you to do that?
He didn't even tell you who to speak with, or which
shop to go to, did he?
This is where Forrest could've helped you, but OK...
I guess you'll have to make do with me!
There's a merchant we always go to over in the
eastern market. You should check it out.
Hello!
Oh, who knows. My friend here wanted to see if you
were interested in any of his stuff, though.
No, [Name 2] here did. ￩0
Thanks! We'll be heading back, then.
No, why do you ask?
Maybe he got a special request or something.
[Name 2], let's go check it out.
He's talking to someone from the castle...maybe weshouldn't interrupt.
Maybe we should go rescue Forrest from thisconversation...
Hey, Forrest! What's all this about you getting an
Elder Log? That's a crazy request!
Isn't finding a log like that simply a matter
of luck?
You can search for years and never
find one, however much you want to.
[Player]!?
Have you come to the spring looking for a Forest
Spirit, too?
Have you see a Great Oak Tree, by any chance?
If you remember where it's at, take me there! I really
want to see it!
This has to be the Great Oak Tree!
Wow...cutting it down won't be easy.
Let's tell Forrest! I think he'll be pleasantly surprised.
Mr. Minister! Forrest!
Here you are, sir! That's an Elder Oak Log for you!
[Name 4] found it!
I'll go and speak with my father! See you later!
Oh, Dad...
Congratulations, [Name 1]!
Forrest is in the eastern woods. Good luck!
Dad used to be famous for finding Elder Logs. He
said the Forest Lady told him where to find them.
It's your turn to talk.
Heyho's House 2
I heard that in some worlds the flowers are linked to
the seasons. So spring flowers bloom in spring.
Summer ones bloom in summer, and autumn ones in
autumn. Oh, and winter ones in winter. Amazing!
I never even thought of changing to a different Life...
Does that make me weird?
Chat 22
Oh, hello there! I'm Monika. Nice to meet you.
Have you met Forrest yet?
He's the big guy with the axe...usually belting out a
tune while he works. Not exactly hard to find.
In case you're wondering, I am technically a
Woodcutter.
It's just...I'm not strong enough to actually swing an
axe and cut down a tree. But I'm working on that.
I'm so excited to have a new Woodcutter friend!
This is gonna be great!
And I really can't believe you were able to track
down those Elder Logs like that. I'm inspired!
Anyway, I brought you a little lunch today. It's just
one way I can help out...since I can't cut trees yet.
My dad's had a hard time dealing with the mistakes
he made in the past...but things are looking up.
I think having a prodigy like you as a pupil will be
terrific for him.
I still can't get over the fact that you were able to
find Elder Logs on your first time out.
Forrest can't either. He's been mumbling about it
all week long.
You know you've done something amazing when it
causes that man to stop singing for five minutes.
I've been reading through my dad's old notes, trying
to learn more about Elder Logs.
He wrote, "Heavy. Sturdy. Smell of rich peat and
moss. The finest timber I've ever seen."
Ooh...it makes me wish I could harvest an Elder Tree
for myself. Can't you just smell it?
Congratulations on making Apprentice! I'm really
happy for you.
Anyway, I was just talking to my dad, and he said
there's someone in Port Puerto you should meet.
Apparently he's quite the young Woodcutter. His
name is Orlando.
I think my dad's trying to instigate some kind of
rivalry between you two!
So I was talking to Forrest, and he said he's met
this Orlando character from Port Puerto.
Forrest said he's quiet, but his axe speaks volumes.
Or at least that's what I gathered from the song.
You already made Adept? Well, that's it—you're
officially more experienced than I am!
So...any chance I could tag along sometime when
you go off on an adventure?
I could really use the experience. And I'll help out
in any way I can.
Of course, I'm not much of a fighter...or a
Woodcutter...but I'll do my best!
If you think you're ready for a challenge, I have
some information for you.
Have you ever heard of the Sacred Water Tree? It
grows somewhere on the Tortuga Archipelago.
Legend has it that water from all over Reveria flows
through the archipelago and is purified by the tree.
Only a Woodcutter who earns the tree's permission
will be able to harvest its logs.
It would be AMAZING if you were able to track it
down and bring back some Elder Logs.
Have you found the Sacred Water Tree on the
Tortuga Archipelago yet?
I can't wait to see what those logs look like!
It seems like yesterday you were just a Novice
learning how to hold an axe.
And now look at you! A full-fledged Master!
Here. I have a little gift to celebrate.
Hey, I know you're doing pretty well for yourself as
a Woodcutter...but have you tried another Life yet?
It won't hurt your woodcutting skills to become, say,
a Cook or a Hunter for a while.
Ooh, or a Carpenter! Your skills would probably
match up nicely with that Life.
Anyway, give it a shot is all I'm saying. If anything,
it might make you an even BETTER Woodcutter.
♪ I swing my mighty axe an' grin...
Now power up that charge...and spin!
OH! You caught me singing one of Forrest's songs.
How embarrassing.
At least it's about woodcutting. And not, like, about
eating Mutton. Although...that song IS pretty catchy.
If there were a Singer Life in Reveria, do you think
Forrest would choose it over woodcutting?
You're right—he wouldn't have to choose. He'd just
do both! Wait. He already does that.
Hey, I've been wanting to get something off my
chest. Got a minute?
First of all...I'm so happy for your success. It's
been really inspiring to watch you.
But I have to admit there have been times when I
was jealous.
I mean...it took me forever just to learn how to
swing an axe. And you got it right away!
But I can honestly say I've gotten past all that, and
I wish you nothing but the best.
Congratulations!
What do you mean on what? My dad made you the
new Forest Protector, right?
I know it's only an honorary title at this point, but
the position has a rich history.
And if anyone deserves it, it's you.
Hey, [Player]! That's funny—I was
just thinking of you.
Actually, I was thinking about how I haven't seen
you for a while.
I know you made Demi-Creator recently...right? And
that obviously takes a ton of work.
So you've been busy. I get it. But do stop by from
time to time, OK? We all miss you!
Oh, I almost forgot. I heard from the Leafes that
you're going for Creator rank.
I hadn't even heard of that before! But knowing
you, you'll get there in no time.
They'll probably have to invent a new level BEYOND
Creator just for you!
You did it! Yay! Congratulations on making Creator!
I heard all about it from the Leafes.
I made a very special present for you by hand.
Hope you like it!
Thanks again for all you've done. For me, for my
dad, for Forrest...for Reveria!
It's funny. Usually the Leafes just gossip about
Forrest's latest songs...and other silly things.
But lately, all they can talk about is YOU! That's how
you know you've got it made.
