Rance III:Story

Intro
Leazas is a peaceful and prosperous nation, under Queen Lia's rule. However, one day Helman's Third Army crossed the Barao Mountains and invaded. Their overwhelming force soon marched over to the Leazas Castle.

Inside the castle, Lia estimated that Royal Guard lead by Reira should be able to hold on until morning, by when the Leazas armies stationed at the borders would have rushed back to help. However, soon Kanami reported that Royal Guard has been beaten back. Kanami reported of a man of incredible powers, a Demon in fact. Hearing there is a Demon involved, Maris commented that the demons must have come for "Chaos".

Lia ordered Kanami, with her ninja abilities, to escape Leazas with the Leazas Holy Shield, and seek help from "that person", while Lia and Maris stay and defend against the intruders.

Regaining the Armor and Sword
Rance has ran out of the money he made from the job at Custom, and has been selling off his furnitures instead of working. After a morning H with Sill, he got a visit from Kanami, who informed him of the situation at Leazas, and wish Rance would go rescue Lia. Rance agrees on the condition that Kanami gives him her viginity, which she reluctantly agreed in order to help Lia.

Kanami gave Rance the Leazas Holy Shield, which is part of a set with the Holy Sword and Holy Armor that was given to Rance in the past. Upon leaving the house, Kanami asked Rance where the sword and the armor was, and found out Rance has sold them for 2000 G.

Kanami explained that the invading force wasn't just the Helman army, but also included Demons. The Demons are after "Chaos", which is hidden under the Leazas Castle. Chaos is protected by a seal, and the Holy Sword, Shield, Armor are the keys to the seal. And therefore they need to get the Sword and Armor back. In order to defeat the Demons, they need Chaos (although Kanami didn't know what Chaos is, preciously).

After going to the weapon house and try talking to the owner there, he requires 2500 G before he would sell the set back to Rance (it's already a discount, since in most RPGs the buy price is double the sell price). With no alternatives, Rance went to the Keth Guild to look for work so he can have money.

Unfortunately, the only job available has been taken by the famous pair of heroes Lark and Noa. Rance insisted that Keth tell him the details of that job, intending to complete it first.

The job involves in rescuing the daughter of Lora Indas, daughter of Jingle Takashi Indas, which has an award of 2300 G. She is held in the Lis Cave (リスの洞窟).

Lis Cave
On the third level of the Lis Cave, Rance's party found Lark and Noa having been defeated by the Demon Satera. Apparently, Satera mistaken Lark as the person who has the Holy Sword and Armor, and ordered her golem Ishis to H Noa in order to force Lark to reveal the whereabouts of the sword and armor.

Then Rance came out, but by now Satera just got convinced that Lark actually had nothing to do with the Sword and Armor. Thinking Rance as just a punky moron, she and her golems left the scene looking for the next suspect who might have the sword and armor. Rance's party helped Lark and Noa to the nearby hospital and took a break.

The next day they found out Lark has gone on a training trip, while Noa rests in the hospital. As gratitude of Rance's help, Lark left behind 1000 G, but Rance decided to leave it for Noa's hospitalization fees. At the hospital, Noa gave Rance a key for a door in the cave that she no longer has use for.

After passing through the locked door, we find out that the Lis and Lora actually are in love with each other. After defeating Lis, Rance told the Lis if he really love Lora he'll try hard to become human instead of attempting a love across species.

In the mean time, Patton is sitting in the Leazas Castle, thanking Demon Nos's help with conquering Leazas. Nos checked with his fellow demon, Aizeru, that their lady Hornet doesn't know about what they are doing. Nos revealed that once they obtained Chaos, the world will be theirs, then he instructed Aizeru to continue gather information with Satera. In the Leazas dungeon, a Helman officer Saya tortures Lia to find out who she gave the Holy Sword and Armor to, but Lia refuses to answer.

The next day, Rance went to Keth for the reward money, then went to the weapon shop to buy back the Sword and Armor, but found out that last night a thief stole them. Returning home, there was a letter for Rance. It turns out the letter was from Lora, who claimed to be the one who stole the Sword and Armor. The post mark of the mail was from the town of Kanra, and thus Rance set on a journey to hunt down Lora.

In Kanra, from talking to the blue Honey bartender 加藤清森, Rance found out that Lora was here, but has went towards the town of Ra Zile, which is currently occupied by Helman troops. When asked about how the war is going, the bartender revealed that Helmen has taken over all of Leazas, and is moving into the Free Cities. In fact, the town of Custom has been surounded. Just then, Priestess Roze appeared and told Rance of how she excaped from Custom via the Devil Cave under the Hansen Mountain. Thus Rance decided to try get into Custom via that route.

At the gates of Devil Cave, Rance's party encountered the devil he met back from his job in Custom. The devil refuses to let them enter the cave. Rance went back to Kanra, and found Roze having H with her underling devil, Da Geiru. Roze told Rance he could make the devil guard become his underling if he learns her true name. Then Roze lent Rance her own devil to command the devil guard to give out her true name.
