I remember you from before.
What can I do for you today?

I'd like you to teach me the
magic known as Astion.

You've heard of Astion? I'm
impressed. But unfortunately,
I cannot teach it to you.

Isn't there some way...?
We want to do what we can
to stop the Adephagos!

But you see...

Oh, that Bush Baby
doll you have...

Oh, this...we got it from
the elder of Myorzo.

Hmmm...all right, then let's have a trade.
I'll teach you Astion if you'll give me that.

Huh? Really truly?

Huh? But we can't...!

That doll is an extremely valuable
item to the Kritya.

It was originally used in the
ceremony to honor Krones.

Krones...?

Krones is the name of the one who carries Myorzo.

To the Kritya of Myorzo, Krones is a being
held sacred above all others. That's why
that doll you have is so important.

...The Elder sure handed it over
without much of a fuss, didn't he?

We might as well, right? If all we have
to do is give him that little trinket.

“That little trinket”...?

That is blatant disrespect
towards the Bush Baby
doll! Take that back!

Oh, geez...I'm sorry.

Hey, it's no skin off our backs.
Come on Estelle, hand it over.

B-but...
It's so cute!

What are you talking about? This thing's
our ticket to learning that magic!

I'd rather have this cute little doll
than some stupid magic spell...

Stop being such a baby
and give me the doll!

You know, they say that sometimes dolls
have powerful curses on them that
affect anyone who touches them.

Eek...!

Simply amazing. I never thought the day would
come when I would lay hands on this doll.

...Now then, this is for you.

All of the details about Astion
are written in this book.

Ohhh, how could you trick me like that?!

Come on, grow up a little.

Hmmm, this seems like it's
Estelle's kind of magic.

What...? My kind of...?

Read through that by tomorrow
and see if you can learn it.

...Why do you say it's Estelle's kind of magic?

The formula's interesting because it's
so old, but it's really too bad...

Huh?

I dunno, it's just a very simple kind
of magic. Frumpy, if you will.

So you gave it to Estelle
because it's boring?

Th-that's not a very nice way to put it! Some people are just
more naturally inclined towards certain types of things!

...You're terrible.
