The Arti: The Adventure Begins

Back then my father used his mechanical skills with The Origin

and created a wooden robot

My father called him “Arti”

However, Arti wasn't accepted by the world

Instead, he brought fear and death upon us

But I won't give up.

Ah! Goal again!

Come on! This is ridiculous!

Who celebrates like it's Christmas everyday?

You could at least leave me a bite to eat!

Go on a diet if you don't have enough food!

I'll only stop when I get the White Lotus Swordsman

Don't let him get away...

Stop it. I'll give it to you

And a duckling for free

Leave some for others to play

No, it feels better to win it all by myself!

Now. It's really game time!

Get him! Stop running!

Oops

my hand just slipped and got it!

Let's see where you can run to!

ARTI-C?

Bro?

What's going on?

Take down Mo and that wooden man!

White Lotus Swordsman...

We didn't even have time to connect,

and yet you're gone.

Humph! You dare offend me!?

You're doomed!

Let's see where you can run to...

Hurry UP!

Now you know you're finished, eh?

Still running?!... Let's see how well you can run...

Think you're running in the Olympic games?

Get out of the way!

Mo!

I don't care what you did...

to the Wooden Man

Hand over the winnings and I won't hold a grudge

I didn't do anything. A bet is a bet

Humph, how could I possibly lose?!

Could that rotten wood have some special powers?

How could it beat our Chicoda,

the war God of Kuerle?

It's him!

Something smells fishy here

Yeah, you cheated

You have two options

Either let me tear apart the wood and inspect it,

or give me the money to calm my boys

Show everyone a good time

Yeah

Or else...

Boss, or else what?

Shut your mouth!

ARTI-C has overused The Origin

He might not be able to hold out for long

Hey? Playing dumb?

I'll only count to three

One

Two

Boss is a fly...

You're the fly!

Kill that fly...

Stop sneezing!

Smash them like flies!

Get him, go!

Go!

ARTI-C, go!

You darn fly...

Be a real thug if you want to be one!

Darnfly...

You idiots!

I lost face because of you!

Why are you still standing here?

Beat! Beat him to death!

Let me kick!

Heck!

Victory! Victory! I've won!

Broken down already?

You piece ofjunk, I thought you were better than this...

Give me my White Lotus Swordsman back!

What's going on?

Roar of the lion...

It sounds so scary!

Boss, this one is pretty tough

Tough my ass!

I've insured myself against occupational injury!

Nothing to be afraid of. Beat her up!

Give me...

My...

White...

Lotus...

Swordsman back!

Such back luck!

I didn't insure myself against occupational injury

lt's true. Things can't be forced

Really shouldn't have pushed you!

Done!

As long as I'm around,

everything will be OK!

You're such a bratty thug... What would I tell Dad?

Dad used to say...

Daddaddaddaddad!

You're like a broken record!

Whatever!

You caused all these problems!

Bro, you have to give me a White Lotus Swordsman!

The stall is smashed

Where could I get it for you?

It's like this every time...

Stop making a mountain out of a molehill...

What the heck!

Never seen a tigress so rude!

You...

You can talk?

You're not the only one who can talk!

What?

Hey, bro! Come look at this

There's a talking duck here

Never seen a bird like this before

I wonder if it's unique to Westland

Why is there a ring on its body?

This ring is a burden of fate

lt's proof of my sacred contract with the humans

You...

can never abandon me!

What?

Interesting ...

Since there is no White Lotus Swordsman,

take this instead!

What! This ugly duck can't compare!

I want the White Lotus Swordsman!

Do you have to be like this?

Here, the White Lotus Swordsman

lt's a really big difference!

Here...

Drink a toast to myself! I brought the bad guys to justice!

Cheers!

The milk wine is so rich and tastes so delicious!

What the heck!

You noisy ugly duckling

All you are is a cheeky monkey

I'll call you Cheeky Ducky!

I'm a sacred beast, and you're calling me Cheeky Ducky?

Stop babbling

Shouldn't ducks quack?

Quack yourself! I'm no ordinary duck!

I'll teach you if you don't know how to quack!

If I reduce the wheel on the elbow by an inch,

I can make the actions more delicate

But at the same time, I sacrifice strength and speed...

Dad... What would you do?

But the most important thing

is to find The Origin as soon as possible

Hey, I save it for my bro

Bro, you've been doing nothing but fixing ARTl-C!

Eat first and work later!

I'm not hungry. You eat

I have to check all the records on ARTI-C and The Origin

Going on and on about ARTI-C, ARTI-C

You never care about me

Well, Tong, you must remember

ARTI-C is the only thing Dad left behind...

The only way we...

could remember Dad is through ARTI-C...

Back then Dad was misunderstood by the world for making ARTI-C

Evil people used the chance to frame him, ending his life

So we must protect Dad's legacy

ARTI-C is the keepsake that will clear our name

I know it all by heart

from hearing you say it since we were kids

Don't talk back like this

Recently I found that ARTI-C can't move well

And he's getting worse

Maybe it's because The Origin has aged

I need to find a new replacement

But in Great Granddad's notes,

I can't find where The Origin came from

Hope our trip to Lou-Ian Kingdom...

will help us find out the secrets of The Origin

Come on, I'm also what Dad left behind

Bro, if I fell into the river with ARTI-C,

who would you rescue first?

Would you rescue ARTI-C first?

I bet you would

You would never rescue me first

Tell me!

Tong, it hurts!

You... who would you save?

Who would you save... if ARTI-C and I fell into the river?

You're being childish. I'm not even going to answer

Stink bomb!

You'd definitely save ARTl-C and not me...

I'm going to drown!

Heartless bro!

You're such a drama queen!

Tong?
