THE CITY OF BESIS IS AT THE TOP OF THIS MOUNTAIN
Sounds good! I wonder what the nightlife is--
--like.
Bob: "What do you think? It's perfect, right?"
> "Yes, sir, leave it to me. I'll make up for any mistakes in Katol."
Bob: "This aim of this operation is exactly the same as in Katol.
We're going to let that monster terrorize the city.
The whole city will get to see the Kools, helpless to do a single thing.
And when we, the Bobbies, end the chaos, the whole city will turn to us.
They'll know that we are stronger than the Kools!
Ha ha ha! It's perfect! Yes! Here we go!"
> "Yes, sir!"
The Bobbies, huh.
You know, if you wanted a better name than "Kools," it really wasn't a very high bar. Almost anything could have worked.
Good job.
Man:
"I've been hearing lots of bad rumors about the Kools lately.
Pull yourselves together! We're counting on you!"
Old Woman:
"The trees without leaves on this mountain are poisonous. If you touch one, you'll get hurt."
At least, I think she's specifying trees without leaves.
These thunderclouds stop and charge up with lightning. I think they throw it at me, but the mountain tiles seem to get in their way. I also can't shoot them, for the same reason.
I kind of like these mountain tiles. Or at least, I don't like them any less than GBC Zelda's take on mountains.
The gift is Duck Seeds.
Just some random tent monster, chilling out.
So it's gonna be like that.
Up the ladder is nothing.
I believe the snorkle attack from Submariner is still my only magic attack. I am not sure. I use it to keep going right.
Sign:
SHOP & MIX AHEAD
So they are.
There are two bows for sale here. One of them is more money than I have and raises my ATK by about 2. The other one is about as much money as I have, gives me the exact same ATK as my current bow, and cuts my defense. I am very confused about this game's idea of balance.
Some of the armor seems nice, but it's armor types I've never heard of, so whatever.
The giftbox contains Ape Seeds.
These clouds move back and forth, left and right only. They'll change their course when they ricochet off something, or when they're close to you and want to stay in your path. When do change direction, they move slower for a bit before accelerating back to their full speed.
Urggghh.
I go south, which takes me to the upper half of the Tabitha screen.
Man:
"I went to Besis to see the Best Dresser Contest, but they wouldn't let me in. But, you know, I heard they'll let you in if you're willing to participate."
The gift is an Aloha Shirt.
By avoiding the tents, I find two more buildings. (Also I made C rank in Woodcutter, so I switch to another class for now in case that's enough for Bear. Besides, I might as well get more magic attacks.
Later I learn that Witch magic kind of sucks and it probably wasn't worth it.)
Girl:
"If the map marks a place as a Monster's Den, but there's no monster there, that means you've already defeated it.
...Or it's still asleep."
Woman:
"The Kools' movements have been kind of suspicious lately..."
Girl:
"If you touch a tree with no leaves, you'll get damaged, right? But if you have Painkiller equipped, you'll be fine."
Old Woman:
"The town of Besis is on a mountain, full of falling snow and muddy grass. If you don't take Double Agent form and learn Anti-Slip, you won't even be able to walk straight."
Sure, fair enough. I switch to Double Agent and equip Painkiller, both fine ideas. Surfacing was doing exactly as much for me as it always does, anyway. I already have 30 skill points from Double Agent, so Anti-Slip won't be too long.
Anyway, passing either tent lets you continue into the next chunk of the map, just through slightly different routes. This place is pretty nonlinear, but I wanted to highlight this screen because there's carvings in the mountain.
Man:
"You see those things on the ledges? Those are paintings! The ones here are paintings of people, and the ones below are animals. Amazing, right?"
They are pretty cool!
Continuing through this route gets me here. I feel like I might have missed something by not taking other paths first, but I guess we'll find out?
The birds just fly around, they seem to go down easily enough with arrows. I've seen them get extremely aggressive toward LPers in melee range, so don't get close.
Yeah, I think the wall paintings/carvings are supposed to be a signal.
Huh.
Two whirlwinds go past like this, and then everything goes back to normal. I guess this did something somewhere else.
This kid was actually just to the left of the screen of the man talking about the wall paintings, and I could have talked to him much earlier. My route just didn't go that way.
Boy:
"If you go straight to the other side, you can talk to the wind gods."
Is that what I did when I hit that switch?
Ah, and here we are at the poisoned trees. I still have Painkiller.
I think the right side was actually the earlier path to get to. I should still check it at some point.

SUMMIT OF SANQUE MOUNTAINS
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK
You're welcome, I think!
I still want to see the rest, though...
Man:
"Oh? You're still young, but you're a Kools member?
So which one of you is it gonna be?
Yang or Bob?
What? You don't know?
Those two are fighting for control of the Kools, aren't they? My Kools friend said that."
Boy:
"Psst. Hey, you.
Can you turn into a White Kenshi?
I heard it's the coolest form you can take with Metamode, I wanna see it."
Hmm. I don't have it.
The woman offers me rest, which I take.
This route just takes me to a giftbox, but it's a pretty screen.
The gift is Syrup. Seems to raise my MP a little.
Over on the right side of the mountain...
Girl:
"Huh? Are you a Kools?
I've been seeing a lot of Kools lately. Did something happen with you?"
The giftbox, gated by a tent, contains Magic Armor.
I guess it's another boss arena where the boss slept in.
There's one screen left, and I have one image to go before hitting the 30 image per post limit. Easy, right? But, well...
..........
Tune in next time!

So...some of this monologue is confusing to me. It's really lucky for me that Japanese LPers exist, because I would not have figured out what this puzzle was trying to convey if I was doing this completely blind. I...think I got the correct translations in the end?
Yeah, you got it right. And... Wow. That is some really amazing writing.
I have no idea if it's actually a Clasp. Could be millet cakes. Whatever it is, it's gonna wake up a big angry bear.
Even better. It's from 起こす - it's a bear waker.

I might be making some assumptions in translation, both about the class and about its signature. Dance being the signature is an educated guess. And the actual class name the girl mentions is ナデシコ. The dictionary lists this as Dianthus, a flower genus, or as a "(archaic) lovable, caressable girl." Without having seen this class, I'm...erring on the side of the former.
I'm gonna guess that's yamato nadeshiko, which would kind of be both. If she's wearing a kimono and looks demure, that'll be it.

"As you go down this mountain, there's a mysterious face.
You can press the upper button to go down, and the lower button to go up.
It's quite interesting."
...
"BecoBear" is from Scamp. One of those passives where I have no idea what it means or what it does. アベコベのゆかも ヘッチャラになる, as a recap.
ベコベア = Sdrawkcab. Nullifies control-reversing floors. The guy's saying you press down to walk up and vice-versa.
