Hello.

[Chief Peperoncino]

You're from the new world? What does a person from the new world want with me?

You're from our adventurers' club

You remember me.

I remember everyone that I've crossed paths with.

Besides seeking for new adventures, listening to other people's stories is an adventurer's duty. From what I gather, you've been in Lasagna longer than most people.

Everyone recommended that I should ask you for stories on Lasagna and Farfalle Vigilantes.

Listening to other people's adventure stories is one of the virtues of an adventurer. If you can listen carefully and learn something from other people, they'll be valuable lessons on life.

So what are you curious about?

I'm curious about your story.

[Peperoncino]

My story... Why are you curious? But since you asked, I'll tell you. I was born outside of Lasagna called Fusilli. Back then, you mention the name Peperoncino and everyone in Fusilli knew.

[Vigilante]

Sir, That's not what you said the last time we talked over a drink. You said you left because you hated being looked down upon due to poverty.

What are you talking about? You must've been very drunk that day. What more can an adventurer ask for when you get to experience so many things in a vast ocean?

But unfortunately, I became unable to be on a ship. I can't tell you why. It's classified information.

Vigilante Chef

Seasickness.

Then I saw the unlimited potential of fishing industry, or anchovy manufacturing to be more exact. So I jumped into the anchovy manufacturing business. And I met Gamberry around that time.

Gamberry was a hoodlum who reminded me of a ruffian. He soon was moved by my words and joined me in the business.

I heard you guys fought.

Of course there were small disputes, but Gamberry was moved by my leadership and became influenced. After we gained enough experience and know-hows from anchovy manufacturing, we decided to draw a bigger picture.

It was selling specialty products. Gamberry's friend Thomas joined the venture and we decided to start the business in Lasagna. But the problem was lousy dorams.

They would pick on every single thing so I decided to catch them and make them work.

That story doesn't add up.

At any rate, Captain Gamberry is a good man. He was influenced by me since his ragtag days and now he's become a doram.

How was Lasagna in the past?

Lasagna was just awful when I first came here. You breathe and someone picks a fight. You walk and fights break out. Captain Gamberry went around putting the brakes on those crowds, but my first impression of him was no different from them.

If violence subdues violence, then what will subdue that violence? Anyway, Lasagna was like a rotten trash can. In comparison, Fusilli is a town with totally innocent people!

I ask the newcomers about Fusilli and none of them knows. It must be in the backwoods or something.

Anyhow, the biggest obstacle when we started the business was Lasagna's lousy dorams. They pounced on me for a fight. Is everyone who live by sea so belligerent like that?

No, don't insult them. It's this place That's unusual.

At first, I tried to persuade those lousy dorams through conversation. I tried to be a gentleman but they wouldn't listen. That's when Gamberry took the matters into his own hands.

didn't I tell you just before? He took care of it completely. I gathered those lousy dorams and spoke to them. They were so touched by my speech that they volunteered to join the vigilance corps.

Hmph! Anyway, with the efforts of vigilance corps and merchants, Lasagna was reborn to its current state.

How are the vigilance corps and merchants?

The vigilance corps and merchants are... um... Among several organizations that run Lasagna, you can say that the two created today's Lasagna. And Gamberry, Thomas, and I were at the heart of it.

When we jumped into the specialty product business, many dorams who were moved by us wanted to help.

See what I mean? Different version from the last.

We gathered those lousy dorams and sent them to the vigilance corps and merchants. Lasagna's maintenance of order was handled by the vigilantes, and everything related to the products was handled by the merchants.

To expand our flourishing business, we began sea trade. But during this time, Thomas's ship Butterfly went missing in a typhoon.

I persistently persuaded the captain and crewmen of Con-Chliina to find Butterfly. My efforts finally paid off and we found them on a remote island in the new world.

Well, that was Stello of Con-Chliina...

Anything else you're curious about?

That was... what an amazing adventure. Thank you for sharing your story. I can clearly see where your dignified manner comes from.

Thank you for your time.

I hope I can listen to your story one day.
