Botanist

[Botanist]

This new land!

Undiscovered life!

Everything about this world excites me.

Oh, okay... Ah-hah!

This is how it goes...

[

Your excitement agitates me.

Err? Ahahahaha!

Oh, come on! I'm just being happy.

By the way, is there anything I can help you with?

I agree. There's so much to see around here!

Ahahaha!

Nice to meet you, my friend.

So, is there anything I can help you with?

Your brother wanted me to send this to you. Maybe it'll help with your study.

- You have given the Nepenthes Specimen to the botanist. -

Oh...? Isn't this?!

...Well, I've got a ton of samples of this specimen. Sorry.

- He points at a pile of specimens in the tent. -

Still, I'm impressed. I always thought my brother could never do anything on his own. But look, he was able to collect a Nepenthes specimen.

Then again, I had this strong feeling that someone has helped him.

That someone was probably you, right?~

Either way, I don't care.

I'm just happy that he cares about me...

Why do you think that?

Can't you just thank him for trying to help you?

Well, you must forget that he and I are twins.

We are spiritually connected to each other.

Usually twins share the same feelings and ideas, I can see what he does or thinks if I try hard.

Let me see what Rumis is doing right now... Oh, he's picking his nose with his left hand and eating a slice of bread with his right.

God, how disgusting!

Hahaha!

Muhahaha!

Let me guess, you want to go check Rumis to see if I'm telling the truth. Am I wrong?

Hahahaha! Sorry, but I lied. I mean, remote vision? Because we're twins?

God, you're so funny. Hahaha~

You please me, just like the new creatures blooming on the World Tree.~

Oh,

won't you cut me some slack? I was just joking to melt the ice.

This world is too barren and tough to live without good humor and jokes, you know?

Anyways, as I said, I've got a lot of Nepenthes specimens.

But I'll gratefully take this pretentious gift of his.

This may be an unexpected question, but... Are you interested in meeting dangerous girls playing on a field?

Yes, femme fatales!

I've seen girls that are so beautiful.

They're too dangerous to get close, but that's what make them so irresistibly attractive. Do you understand what I'm saying?

Have you explored the area over the bridge at the right side of the united expedition camp?

Then you know the area is so cold that it'll instantly freeze your heart.

You should go across the leftward bridge, you'll be surprised to see what's ahead of you.

It's yet to be known how such a thing can happen.

Well...

I suppose I don't have the words to really describe such an amazing scene.

I'll send a message to the garrison for you. Why don't you go see it with your own eyes? You won't be disappointed!

Of course, I'm offering such an extraordinary service because there's something I want in return. Ahahaha!

...Truth be told, I'm having some trouble. And I need someone to help me.

For now, you should go across the leftward bridge. Speak to a guard over there, and then just go ahead.

A group of beautiful girls will welcome you. I hope you'll enjoy having a conversation with them. Maybe you'll get to understand the mystery of nature.

Yes, I only need... 30 of them.

Welcome back! How was it?

It was amazing, wasn't it?

On the right side of this united expedition camp,

we have a land surrounded by roaring blizzards.

And on the other side,

we have a peaceful green land

where we can enjoy Mother Nature's warm embrace.

Two completely different worlds coexist

within a short distance of each other.

Where else can you see such amazing contrasts at a glance?

I'm curious to know all secrets about this world.

I'm so excited that I can't hide it!

*Pant Pant*

Yes, it is...

Oh, right!

Actually I'm here to study this strange phenomenon.

To understand the environmental conditions,

including temperature and humidity,

5.....and check the families and growth of plants,

I've installed several special environmental meters

in this area.

Unfortunately, some evil monsters

keep destroying the precious meters

with their Heinous Hoops!

The culprits are called Cornus.

I'd like to ask you to teach them not to destroy my devices again.

How'd you like to hunt 10 of them to set an example? Good luck!

Hopefully the Cornuses have learned their lesson, and won't touch my special environmental meters anymore.

Oh Karyl, while you were away, I received an interesting report from one of my research machines that remained intact.

According to the report, The original weather condition of Ash Vacuum is cold and dry, just like the land on the right side.

That means, somebody has artificially cultivated the leftward land.

Do you remember seeing strange mushroom shaped buildings everywhere in the fields?

I suspect it to be an environmental purifier that converts barren land into lush, green fields.

Let me show you.

Please take this rotting plant stem,

I'll meet you at the environmental purifier standing right next to the leftward bridge on the other side.

Cornuses are breaking my special environmental meters!

Please show them the power of Midgardians!

I submitted a report to upper management.

I haven't received any response, but I'm sure they'll be as excited as I am once they read the report. Woohoo!
