Lady

- You are carrying too many items!

[Emma Searth]

*Sigh...* I haven't gotten any response from them. I don't know

if I can wait much longer to join the Kafra Corporation.

Oh, an adventurer! I actually used to work in the same field that you do. More specifically, I used to be a Crusader.

My name is Emma Searth. Right now, I'm following my dream and applying to be a Kafra Lady. So my days of wielding a sword are over.

Sadly, I haven't succeeded yet because I was diagnosed with

some weird amnesia.

Of course, I understand that

Kafra Corporation is a large, professional company, but

if I can work for them even if it's just part-time...

Is it that big of a problem?

I suppose they're worried

that I'd forget important customer information once I'm hired.

It's strange. When I was

a Crusader, I remembered

everything lucidly, and I never had any problems recalling the past.

But now I get these migraines whenever I try to focus on my memories from those times

when I used to fight in the Prontera Military.

*Sigh...*

The scent of your

Memory Bookmark

seems to bring clarity

to her thoughts.

I was born in a wealthy family where I was raised to learn etiquette, fencing, Peco riding, and music lessons since I was

born. I suppose you can say I'm pretty well educated.

However, my parents weren't

pleased when they learned that I wanted to become a Kafra Lady.

My parents insisted that

I become a Sage or a Scholar.

In the end, I ended up running

away from them by joining the Crusaders.

Luckily, the Crusaders were advertising their recruitment at the time, so I took that chance. Plus, having military experience might even help me join Kafra!

Since I did so well in Boot Camp,

I got the chance to join an elite squad. My squad was often assigned difficult missions, and we never failed to complete those.

Eventually, my reputation as a female Crusader, and being in a respectable military position, was enough to satisfy my family.

But after that day,

everything went wrong.

I only remember that it

was very sad and depressing.

Somehow, I feel like we were

even betrayed...

I think I can

try to remember

my comrades...

Ah, let's not talk about it. It's too depressing. Maybe if you had some sort of memory aid, I might be able to recall my forgotten past. Anything, like a reminder, a scheduler, a bookmark, a string...

One day, I happened to see Ms. Leilah at work here in Al De Baran. She was shining with confidence and commanded respect, even from her customers!

She carried herself like a professional, no matter what the situation. Even though I knew she was tired from working in the summer heat, she made everything look effortless!

When the male customers try to flirt with her, she never loses her poise. She just adjusts her glasses and does what she needs to do.

To me, she's like a lone, guardian angel. At that moment, it seemed the world existed just to be mocked by Ms. Leila.

I've also heard that Kafra Ladies are always traveling around the world, which is something I've always dreamed of doing.

Ms. Leilah is my idol,

and she's the reason why

I want to become a Kafra Lady.

Emma Searth clutches her head and winces as she suffers from another migraine.

Remembering that a Green Herb was able to relieve Jack O, you gave a Green Herb to Emma. She takes it, and looks a little more relaxed.

I'm not even sure

how much I can remember

and how much I've actually

forgotten.

Let me...

Try to remember every one in our squad. Let's see, there was Jack O, The Nineball. Z-Zan. Zan.H-Huadoku. C-Cuaque Donon. Myself. Um, E... Eni... Egni... Um...

Egni...

Egnigem?

Who was that?

Oh no. I'm sure he might

have, no, was there someone

named that with us?

Jack O, The Nineball, Zan.Huadoku, Cuaque Donon, Egnigem. Oh, I really miss those guys...

Egnigem...

That name makes

me so sad. I'm not

quite sure why, but...

Emma turns away before you can see her cry. Still, her shoulders heave with each sob as you imagine the hardship she's had to endure.

I wish I knew what that name really means. I'm sure it's linked to an important memory from my past.

I really appreciate you coming here to talk to me about the old days. I, I want you to have this.

I hear the Kafra Ladies always travel around the world, something I've always dreamed of doing! Hopefully, one of these days, I'll be able to work for the Kafra Corporation too.

Still, it's discouraging. I haven't heard anything from them...
