*Spoilers for the game Brave Fencer Musashi*

Entry the Fourteenth:

“’Something troublesome?’ Better ask the shop people!”

Apparently Fillet has been visiting the shops in town and taking all of their money. I guess the castle needs their tax, but 100% is a lot of tax…

Kurt at the toy shop says that to get his revenge on the princess, he’s gonna sell action figures of her! Oh hell yeah, I’ll be your first one to purchase this!

Note to self: Buy Fillet figure once he starts selling them.

But for now, I guess my Bubbles and Gingerelle action figures will have to do…

“What are you looking at? They aren’t dolls or anything!” >.>

“STOP STARING AT ME! DON’T JUDGE ME!”

After I was done playing with my toys, it’s time to get serious. So I head over to Steward Ribson, intending on asking him about the Princess and her money-taking actions. But of course things don’t turn out as smoothly as I hoped. Fillet disappeared a while back… probably during the time I was at the ice palace.

Now that the gondola has been repaired, I can use it to get in and out of the castle. Musashi tells Ribson that he will be on the look out for the princess, then we high tail it out of there.

Uh oh… Steam… Steam… FFFFFFFFFFF- Not THAT again!!!

I head over to Steamwood just to make sure…

Aaaand there is definitely a problem here. At the entrance of Steamwood lies Fores the administrator… He gives Musashi a valve handle.

“I locked her in there.”

Who?

“The Princess…”

Oh… crap.

“Then the brat… She made Steamwood go berserk!”

DAMN! NOT THIS **** AGAIN!

Yep… There’s that familiar timer in the corner… 24 minutes till Steamwood explodes… Even Musashi is raging inside: “Steamwood… Grrrr… Not again!?”

Time to head inside and do this all over again, so I insert the valve handle I just got into the entrance…

Inside, the Princess mumbles something about being promoted. Musashi notices that she has a tail and pulls on it. Then the imposter reveals who she really is: Topo, one of the 3 thieves from Leader’s Force, working under Colonel Capriciolla. She disappears in a puff of smoke and leaves behind the profits she took from the town shops. Time to fix this steam leaks…

This time… it’s a bit more difficult. The valves for each sector of the area have been removed and placed all over the place. So I’ll have to gather them before I can do any valve-turning.

For some reason, this one doesn’t feel as difficult as the last. I didn’t mess up at all in the timing of the valve mini-game. That’s a relief… Hopefully, this is the last Steamwood related thing in the game.
