Talk to Scott and ask about the whereabouts of the armor

📍 Jarilo-VI Boulder Town

How is Monster Armor now?

Scott

He's alright, he's off the peak now but that's nothing to worry about.

Scott

I'll get him to fight a robot a few times next, just to heat things up again.

Options

I'm worried about contamination by the armor...

Scott

Contamination? Don't be ridiculous, what kind of contamination can the armor have? I think that guy is ridiculously strong. He can smash the robot with his bare hands.

Options

I'll go and check on him.

Oh yeah? I don't believe you.

Scott

I sign boxers to make money, not to treat them like babies! He's not that delicate!

Scott

Instead of pitying that guy, you should feel sorry for me, who wasted all that money!

Scott

Believe it or not, these boxer scums know nothing about being grateful. He's not worth your time.

Scott

You know what, he's actually got a match today, and he's in there. Go and talk to him, just leave me alone.

Talk to Kluzer and ask about his health status

Kluzer

...Can I help you?

Options

How are you feeling?

I came here to see you.

I just came to see the armor.

Kluzer

Same old, nothing much.

Kluzer

Thank you for your kindness, but I... *cough*... I'm fine... *cough*... It's no biggie.

Kluzer

...I'm fine, no need to worry.

Kluzer

Thank you for your kindness, but I... *cough*... I'm fine... *cough*... It's no biggie.

Kluzer

This monster armor scared a lot of people and made a lot of money.

Kluzer

*cough*... Forget I said anything if I misunderstood you... I'm alright... *cough*... Nothing wrong.

Options

You are very weak. You should see a doctor.

The armor may have adverse effects on people...

Kluzer

No, I'm fine, thanks.

Kluzer

There are no adverse effects. As I said, I'm in good health, and good shape... *cough* I can continue to fight.

Kluzer

Ahem... I have a few matches with robots in a bit, I need to prepare...

Kluzer

Cough! Cough cough—

Onlooking Boxer

Hey, Monster Armor! Wake up, wake up!

Onlooking Boxer

Why did he fall? Is something wrong?

{NICKNAME}

(I have to take him to the clinic for a checkup...)

Talk to Natasha and arrange a health examination for Kluzer

📍 Jarilo-VI Natasha's Clinic

System

You bring Kluzer to Natasha's clinic. His frail appearance really bothers you.

Natasha

Oh? {NICKNAME}, what happened to this friend of yours?

Options

(You tell Natasha what happened)

Natasha

Armor from Fragmentum monsters? He's really got some guts to walk around wearing such a dangerous thing...

Kluzer

Mr. Scott told me that if I wear this armor to matches, I will get a raise... *cough*

Natasha

Is the money worth your life?

Kluzer

...There's a lot of holes I need to fill... *cough* with money...

Kluzer

*cough* *cough* Are we done now, doc? Can I go back now?

Options

Wait, let's read the diagnosis first.

You can't go back yet.

Natasha

Well, the report is out, but the situation... is really not good.

Natasha

The doc hasn't spoken yet... and you really can't go back like this.

Natasha

Look here, these are all old wounds which should have healed long ago, but not only did the wounds not heal, there are crystal-like things on the surface.

Natasha

I have checked, and these crystals are very similar in composition to the detritus in the Fragmentum. I've seen some patients affected by Fragmentum corrosion and your current symptoms are similar to theirs.

Natasha

Corrosion is like a kind of chronic toxin. It constantly interferes with the normal healing process of wounds, which in turn increases the burden on the organs, and can lead to organ failure in severe cases.

Natasha

In short, you can no longer touch this armor, and you must cease all fighting activities for the time being. Get some good rest, recover from your injuries, and come back to me for follow up.

Kluzer

...So I can't fight anymore?

Natasha

I'm not being alarmist. If you go on like this, sooner or later you'll fall in the ring — the kind of fall you'll never recover from. Do you understand?

Kluzer

...Yes doc.

Kluzer

I'll leave now then... Thank you, stranger.

System

Kluzer left the clinic dragging his injured body...

Natasha

You know, I've seen too many patients like this, and most of them won't follow the doctor's orders...

Natasha

{NICKNAME}, don't go yet. I need to ask you a favor.

Options

What is it?

Wow, how convenient... for you.

Natasha

A while ago, someone began sending a package full of supplies to the clinic every few days.

Natasha

The contents are always roughly the same: Food, toys, and simple clothes for children.

Natasha

Strangely, it's never the same guy who delivers the package, and none of them would tell me who the generous donor is...

Natasha

Thanks to this anonymous kind-hearted donor, the children here have more than enough things for the time being.

Natasha

...which is why now we have some extra stuff. Let me see... a few tins of milk powder, a few sets of clothes for toddlers, and two sets of storybooks.

Natasha

I'd hate to see these go to waste. Could you help me give them to someone who needs them more?

Options

Leave it to me.

You're treating me like a delivery man.

Natasha

Alright, let's go.

Natasha

Well, it's my lucky day. Now listen to me.

Wandering Little Girl

Why hasn't mummy finished work yet... *sniff* *sniff*

Options

Why are you here alone?

Why isn't she off work yet?

Wandering Little Girl

I—I'm not alone... I'm waiting for mummy to finish work.

Wandering Little Girl

...Stranger danger! Mummy said, "Never talk to strangers!"

Options

It's dangerous for you to be here alone.

Does your dad take care of you?

Wandering Little Girl

Ugh... bu—but daddy is sleeping in the mines... and mummy said he'll need to sleep a few more years before he comes back...

Wandering Little Girl

Mummy's gotta work, she works hard... So I wait here. Everyone here knows me.

Wandering Little Girl

Wandering Little Girl

Mummy said, she's saving money to buy me my favorite story books for my birthday. Not sure if she forgot...

Your mom asked me to give you this gift.

Wandering Little Girl

Wow! For real!? Now I finally have a fairy tale book of my own too!

Check Kluzer's condition

📍 Jarilo-VI Fight Club

Ask the audience members about Kluzer's whereabouts

Boxing Match Fan

Hey, I don't understand, how could Monster Armor be beaten so easily...

Excited Spectator

Haha, I told you so. Fighting against a five-time champ is no joke. You hear me?

Options

Is Monster Armor still in the boxing gym?

Excited Spectator

He just finished a match, and he was utterly destroyed! As soon as the match was over, he ran away, hahaha!

Boxing Match Fan

Uh... I saw him being scolded by the owner just then. Not sure where he went after.

Excited Spectator

Monster Armor got beaten up so badly. You are not thinking about getting an autograph from him, are you? I mean, all eyes are on the five-time champ now, and no one cares about that Monster Armor clown anymore!

Boxing Match Fan

But Monster Armor wasn't bad at all before. It's a shame he lost his edge...

Ask Scott about Kluzer's whereabouts

📍 Jarilo-VI Boulder Town

Is Kluzer still here?

Scott

Of course he is. He's still under contract. Where else can he go?

Scott

He's just another has-been who can't adapt to the audience's tastes... Hmph. He's now just in it for the base wage that I charitably trickle down to him!

Options

What do you mean by "has-been"?

So boxing is all about winning?

Scott

Ha! You obviously don't pay much attention to our boxing matches, do you? He was beaten so badly by the five-time champ. It was such a one-sided fiasco.

Scott

Ha, winning won't be enough! Making money for me is more important than winning games.

Scott

Besides, he can't even win anymore. He was beaten so badly by the five-time champ. It was such a one-sided fiasco.

Scott

I know the audience too well. They quickly tire of the old and are constantly chasing after the new. Whoever beats the latest crowd favorite gets to be the next super star.

Options

Then why is he still fighting?

He should just take a break.

Scott

What else can he do to put food on the table? It's not like you are gonna pay for his living.

Scott

A break!? He should first try to take a break from being such a loser!

Scott

If I had known you were coming, I wouldn't have sent him to the Fragmentum to find a new set of armor. Should always leave things like this to pros like you.

Options

New armor?

Scott

Yeah, didn't I just say, he was badly injured not long ago and even got his armor broken.

Scott

He should've tried to be a gracious loser and recognized the massive gap in strength between himself and his opponent.

Scott

But that guy doesn't seem to know when to quit. Ever since he woke up from his concussion, he has been pestering me nonstop, begging me to give him another chance in the ring.

Scott

Luckily for him, I was in a particularly merciful mood today. So I told him that the audience has been long sick of his old shtick. If he wants to win back the audience, he simply needs to find himself a much more powerful monster for a different set of armor.

Options

Is he still fit to fight in his condition?

There're no different kinds of monster armor!

Scott

Who knows? All I saw was the guy limping away with a broken leg. He probably went looking for new armor, as he should.

Scott

But who cares! Monster Armor has already made me quite some money. He can go wherever he wants. After all, it's a free town here.

Scott

You think I know nothing about Fragmentum monsters, huh? I've seen some bigger and scarier ones, and if he can get his hands on one of those, then I'm willing to pay more to rehire him.

Scott

I saw the guy limping away with a broken leg. He probably went looking for new armor, as he should. And he'd better find one, or else he shouldn't even bother coming back.

Options

It's too dangerous. I'll go find him!

You are so cruel.

Scott

He probably headed to Rivet Town. That's where the monsters are, after all. If you leave now, you may still catch him.

Scott

Hmph. If you don't like this, you can just bring him back. He went looking for monsters, so he must have gone to Rivet Town.

(Tell Natasha about Kluzer)

Natasha

So the anonymous donor was Kluzer...

Natasha

Oh, I remember helping him with the diagnosis when he was so weakened by that suit of armor.

Natasha

I never approved of how he risked his life like that. I can't imagine how strong-willed he must be to manage to do all this in his condition.

Natasha

But why would he risk his life this much and be this generous? All this for what, exactly?

Options

To provide a better life for his wife and children?

I don't know...

Natasha

His financials didn't seem that good, and yet he donated so much to us at the clinic, which just doesn't make sense...

Natasha

Hmm... let me think about this...

Natasha

Did he leave any other clues?
