[Ryosen]

How come you've got so much to carry?

Are you perhaps on training or something?

Please, keep your hands off my stuff!

Ugh! My, my... What am I gonna do with this!? Files, files, files!!!

Ahhhhhkk!

What time is it now? Ugh... This is such a mess!!

What are they thinking!!? I don't get it. How come I have to work, while those guys from other countries are just praying for a breakthrough, every single day!

This is so unfair!! My stress is growing geometrically every hour!

What a waste of time! Why do they have to pray! Why?! Why?! Why don't they work instead of pray!!

Ugh...!

Nothing's appreciated! Nothing!

They're just so useless!

- He took a deep breath -

- trying to calm down. -

Anyway, who are you? This place is restricted.

Ah! You must be the one who came to help us track down that Satan Morocc, the bastard who made the giant hole and then was gone like the wind.

Ugh. I should watch my mouth.

Sorry. You're on our side. I should just be polite, but it's just... I'm so stressed out.

How about having some tea here?

It's Rafflesia tea from Schwarzwald. Don't even expect taste, it's awful... But what can I do? It's the only thing I've got...

You must have heard about this, but this is the place where Satan Morocc landed through the crack of dimension.

As you see, this seems like a totally different world. It's nothing like the continent of Midgard, though we haven't found any concrete evidence. We decided to call this place Ash-Vacuum.

We're doing everything we can, to track down Satan Morocc, but all those researchers from different countries couldn't help but wonder what this place really is.

Well, so we're all interested in one thing. However, the real problem lies on our structure of the group.

Three different countries united to take down the comon enemy, Satan Morocc, byt they eventually started to gather and keep the information to themselves.

So... frankly speaking...

Tracking Satan Morocc is not or major concern anymore. Our expedition was formed in such hase that so may things can cause problems in this group.

People don't believe other members of the group except for the ones from their own countries. They're all so sensitive that every little thing hits a nerve.

But what can we do? After all, we were gathered to achieve the same goal, and we researchers don't want to cause any trouble among countries. It's really hard for us to live with our complaints.

I mean... the situation here is... just like the taste of this tea.

Just awful!

Oh, I spent too much time talking.

I should be working now!

Look at this pile of document files... We're supposed to share all the information within these documents...

Oh, well... Maybe the same thing's happening at other offices. People from other countries might have hidden some important information behind my back.

Whatever... Could you deliver this document to the Schwarzwald and Arunafeltz researchers?

... Eh? Didn't you come to help us?

Whew~ Very good.

No one in our research group wants to visit the offices of the other countries!

Ok, now, please deliver the file to Hue and Hansenne. Hue's in charge of Schwarzwald's documents and Hansenne's in chare of Arunafeltz's.

The file contains the brief introduction and the schedule of the meesting.

For your information, you should go see Hue at the Schwarzwald's office first. Otherwise, he'll be whining about it.

You must check if they read and understand correctly after delivering it. Don't forget to get them to sign at the bottom of the page, just in case.

Go on now.

Just so you know, today's Desert Day. Midgard is sending some desserts through the crack of dimension, regularly.

Midgard's desserts are definitely the world's best.

The only thing we enjoy here is that dessert we receive, once a week.

Schwarzwald's Pineapple Jubilee is just awful. It tastes something like rusty steel.

Arunafeltz's Desert Sandwich is nothing better than that. I think that sandwich's made of some old meat, otherwise, we wouldn't have been food poisoned so often!

But, Rune-Midgarts' Strawberry Cake! It's the best.

Nice and soft spongecake covered with sweet-tasting whipped cream, lots of fresh strawberries on top!

Rune-Midgarts' top chef, Charles Orleans makes it himself!!!

Hurry, you must hurry up, or you won't be able to taste this wonderful cake!

- You got the Meeting -

- Invitation from Ryosen, -

- which briefly explains -

- the agenda and schedule -

- of the whole meeting! -

Hurry up and deliver the document to Hue and Hansenne!

Don't forget! Schwarzwald's Hue must get it first, otherwise, he'll nag us like crazy.

And you must get the document signed at the bottom before you bring it back.

Hurry, you must hurry up or you won't be able to taste this wonderfull cake!

Ah, welcome back!

Must've been hard to get them all signed. Well done!

Hue's so egotistic and stubborn. He thinks he's some kind of royale... and Hansenne... Whew~nobody ever gets what he's just talking about.

He's just ridiculous.

Thank you for dealing with those guys. I've got to go through the file now. Please give me the Invitation.

Please get Hue and Hansenne to sign the Inviation, then come back.

Huhuhuhu, what a sight...!

This autograph here looks like Hue's. See, the letters are all so strongly pressed down with his anger. This one here should be Hansenne's, scrawled without thinking.

How was it? Did you have a chance t find out what the problem is among us researchers?

This isn't all because of the different personalities. Lots of other members have similar problems. Howerver, the problem among us three: Hue, Hansenne and I... is just more visible than others.

So, here we are. We are finally ordered to have a meeting and supposed to find the way to solve our problem.

But, do you know what really would be the best solution for us? It's to avoid meeting face to face.

It wasn't our will to have this meeting, and I never imagined they'd sign this thing... Well, I just feel like I've been punched in the head or something.

Well, it's already spilled milk. I need to go to that meeting whether I like it or not. Could you please send this to the Official of the United Research?

In the meantime, I should prepare myself for the meeting.

Hi! Did you give that Invitation to the Official?

Oh, goo to hear that it's delivered safely.

Anyway, what brings you here again?

Would you like some tea? We haven't got any dessert yet. I only have some tea to offer.

Help?

Well, there are tons of things waiting for help!

Nice Timing.

I've requested something from the Arunafeltz office but haven't gotten anything yet. Could you get it from Hansenne?

I need that for the meeting, but he never sends it to me. He must've forgotten about it, again! You'll help me with this, right!?

Huh? Are you serious???? Dropped it on a bridge while playing treasure hunting???

Hansenne! What and itiot! I knew it! His brain must've been melted with hot air!

Aarrrrr!!!!! Can't believe this!!

What the heck should I do??? The meesting's soon!!!

Oh my! I really, prefer to work alone. Oh, I hate those guys!

I hate foreigners.

.....Whew... completely soaked, so loosely binded...torn here and there... I can't even read this thing!

What is he expecting from me with this!!!!

Aarrrrr!!!!! This is a nightmare!

Hansenne! What and idiot! I knew it! His brain must've been melted with hot air!

...Oh, this is...

This is the document I requested.

I thought the document was lost at some bridge and ruined completely, but then...

Wow... this document is amazingly neat. Looks like Hue's the one who made this... He's really picky, if you know what I mean... Anyway, it's pretty impressive...

I'm so relieved I got this before the meeting. I've got to go now.

I'm running late.

But first, I have to find another document for the meeting. Could you please ask the Official to wait for me a bit?

Please, the meeting's gonna begin soon.

How could I go to the meeting without the research report??!

Could you please ask the Official to wait for me a bit?

I have to find another document for the meeting. Please, hurry.

Ah..... That... in that meeting room... Is.. everything alright now?

Oh, I need to be left alone for a while.

Krrrrrrrr! Ugh...!

[

Uhhhh...

I know, I know! I went too far!

I was just so shocked and disappointed at the same time.

After all, it was just a cake...

I wasn't very mature.

Oh, what have I done?

I should go an apologize.

Wait! Hue wanted me to bring this to you.

A report... ?

Ahhh... the one I left in the meeting room...

- Ryosen takes the report -

- and gives a glance -

- at the memo stuck on it. -

... ?

Oh. What are you talking about?

Ah. I'm so embarrassed.

Oh, I didn't expect to get an apology. This is such a shame.

Now that I think of it. I didn't even say 'thank you' to him for restoring my documents...

Ok. I should setup another meeting ASAP. That way, we'd have a chance to get to know each other.

So... Could you do me another favor?

Could you go see the Official in my stead and set up a meeting?

Oh! And... Here's Rune-Midgarts' fresh strawberry cake. This is for you. I'm so sorry I haven't even offered you a piece. I was so distracted with stress, I think.

Thank you so much for everything you've done. And... pleade don't forget to do me this last favor, going to the Official and setting up a meeting.

I... think I should prepare for the meeting again.

Again, thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

Ah, hello adventurer!

I don't know how to thank you.

You can't imagine how greatful I feel!

Oh, but then... Have you ever seen a Mystic Horn? I'd love to get one.

I heard you can get this thing from a monster named, 'Cornus' found in the fields.

Or... do you have any Mystic Horns with you? Of course, I'm not saying that I want it for free. If you'd give me 2 Mystic Horns, I'd give you my Rune-Midgarts' Strawberry Cake.

Mmmmmmm~

If by any chance you find one, please come back to me.

Huh?

You have Rune-Midgarts' Strawberry Cake?

How come you haven't had it yet?

You should quickly finish that cake or else, somebody would steal it from you.

I don't need it!

... Haha, I'm joking...

Are you really, honestly, positively sure you want to exchange them for my cake?

Ahhh...

Come back any time if you change your mind.

I heard you could extract some magical energy form Mystic Horns and use it. Anyway, thank you!

You lie! You don't even have any!!

Please, if you find any Mystic Horns, come back to me!

Please, don't touch anything!

You know somethig... Something comes out from this thing...

If anyone tried to talk to you in the middle of the night, you should just walk away... Don't ever look back!!

And don't stare at the crack of dimension... or you'd be dragged to somewhere mysterious and never be able to come back...huhuhuhu...
