SOMEONE is missing... catastrophically missingeth

Summary:

When Chapter 4 lacked Rouxls - we endured.
BUT WHEN HE GOT THROWN OUT OF THE STORY FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A ROW...

Notes:

...patience has run out.

I hope you share my point of view : P
The editor (aka. translator) and I, of course, haven’t fully gone through chapter 5 yet. But it’s already clear that apart from the Castle Town (at the beginning and end), Rouxls won’t be there.
AND WE FIXED THIS SITUATION!!!

The work is written in the format of a game "script." Lines from the canon are written, cutscenes are rewritten, and... most importantly... ROUXLS HAVE BEEN ADDED!! :DDD
I tried my best to match the game's style. You have to see it, so enjoy reading!

— – — – — – — – — – — – — – — – — –

I want the reader to picture fragments from this fanfic as cutscenes and any other moments in a game-like style. So the style here isn’t "classic-prose" as usual!
A few conventional signs:
{} - notes about what’s happening visually. And also author’s and co-author's notes.
[] - the speaker’s note (imagine a sprite in a dialogue box), the name is written in all caps. In battles, it can also indicate the name of an action. And maybe it means something else too.
There are also separators between the fragments. I made them different sizes:
The shortest one - the fragment happens in the same room.
Medium - the next room.
The largest - one or more gameplay moments (puzzles, rooms) are skipped.
If Rouxls' initials < RK > are in the middle of the separator, it means the fragment under the separator will include him.

Chapter 1: From the begining to watering can

[  RALSEI  ]    * ... let's just go.

    {Cutscene ends}

Notes:

Eh-eh-eh. That's all for now :^
I hope I arranged it conveniently, there were quite a few problems with this.
Now I'll check the active stuff, if you like it - I'll keep integrating Rouxls for the masses further.
