Hyperdimension Neptunia Rebirth Of A Slave

Part 18 - Conversation is Arfoire?! and Lady Green Heart.

- Leanbox Basilicom -

Compa: It feels a bit weird to head into the Basilicom after all that.

IF: I'm sure Lady Vert has this all figured out. Let's go inside.

Damian: IF, I'll go front.

IF: But-

Damian: Just in case.

IF: Okay, you're overthinking stuff, Dan.

- Leanbox Basilicom -

Yvoire: SORRY MA'AM!

Compa: Yikes!

Damian: ...

Yvoire: SORRY FER THE PROBLEMS THE LAST TIME!

Neptune: Wow, who would've thought you can be terrified from an apology?

Damian: I...agree...

IF: ...Um, what's this all about...?

Vert: Iffy, Damian, I've been waiting for you.

IF: Well, ah, I suppose this means we're all in the clear?

Vert: Yes, no need to worry anymore. I've "asked" Yvoire kindly to not do this again. Isn't that right, Yvoire?

Yvoire: *shudder* Y-Yes! I-I will never do it again, so please forgive me!

Neptune: Whoa. He's really freaked out.

IF: I'm not even going to ask what "asked" means...

Vert: Oh my, that is a special secret, isn't it, Yvoire?

Yvoire: *shudder* Aaaaaaah!

Damian: (I feel bad for him...)

Vert: Now, there is something of urgency I need to speak of. Follow me to my room.

- Vert's room -

Vert: To be frank, I need for you to recover my lost power as goddess.

IF: That was like a straight ball down the middle. Um, what happened?

Vert: ...It was on a day I was returning from an event I attended in secret. I was tired after a while day of walking with goods I brought at the event. Then someone attacked me and the next thing I knew, my power was gone.

Damian: (Wait... It's not who I think it is, is it? Yeah, It's not Arfoire...right?)

Neptune: Oh, I can relate. All that walking at an event can really tired you out.

Compa: So what happens when you don't have your power as goddess?

Vert: Well, I start aging like normal, and I cannot use Hard Drive Divinity.

IF: I see. So that's why Lady Vert didn't use HDD at all.

Compa: So, you're just like me? A normal person?

Vert: Exactly. Hence, I need the power back to prevent my aging process. Losing beauty and the ability to play in future titles is fear itself. I must stop this aging at any cost!

IF: Compa. Tell me what to do here. Should I point out some things?

Compa: I don't know, but I think it's best to leave it alone...

Vert: So, for me to play games for eternity, I need you to capture the culprit.

Damian: Understood. We'll help. After all, we need to repay you for helping Neptune.

Vert: I could not discuss this with the Basilicom, so thank you.

Compa: So, no one in the Basilicom knows about this?
