Traveler Fome

[Fome]

Mm? You're a traveler, too?

You mean, you're going to travel through Eclage with that little skill you have?

The fact that you made it here actually seems just short of a miracle...

Oh my, did I talk too much?

But you're really lucky.

If you tell them that you're here to congratulate on the birth of new Mayor Jun, you'll surely meet the great Kardui.

Ah...how beautiful.

I heard some bad rumors but I don't believe in them at all~

Ha, I almost went too far again.

Did you talk to Litrip and York?

When it comes to Bifrost Tower, which is the most popular tourist attraction, Litrip knows the best!

Come here and have a talk with us.

My name is Fome and I'm from the central region of Alpheim.

You are...

Wait, let me guess!

You're a member of the famous Midgard expedition, right?!

Well, it's simple.

There's no one who looks like you or dresses like you around Eclage.

I heard the ways to Bifrost are blocked by a strange rift and soon, travelers who came here through the Hazy Forest started to appear.

They are humans who came from Midgard passing through Jotunheim!

Seriously...I'm glad I came to Eclage.

I didn't expect to meet a person from Midgard!

Eclage is crowded with travelers, and until recently, most of them were from Alpheim.

It's nice to see you. I was about to talk to you just now.

Why does this place have so many travelers...?

First of all, I think it's due to the fact that you're able to communicate freely here since Eclage is with Bifrost.

Thanks to Bifrost's will, everyone is able to communicate with no problem here just like you and I right now.

Second, it's because Eclage is the end and the gateway of Alpheim.

It's the only way to get to Jotunheim.

A great number of travelers who admire the unknown world come to Eclage.

Also, they want to see Bifrost, which connects Jotunheim and Alpheim, with their own eyes.

Moreover, the biggest reason why Eclage is so crowded recently is...!!!

A new Mayor Jun was born!

No, no, Mayor Jun. It's a Laphine name.

It's a...right, it means a 'king.'

The King is born!

Although he is pretty old, he became a king.

As the king of Laphines, he is so beautiful.

Mm? Maybe 10 years ago?

5 years ago? Or 15? Anyway, it's less than 100 years.

This traveler named Fome is going on forever about the king of Laphines.

It seems as if she doesn't care about others and is sinking into her own world, so it's hard to understand what she's talking about.

Let's talk to other travelers.

The main attraction of Eclage?

It's Bifrost Tower, of course!

Although It's not inside Eclage, technically! Ahhahahahaha

I've come here just recently, so I didn't have a chance to go outside Eclage.

Whew, it's kind of scary.

Bifrost Tower is...oh, right.

Litrip has been there, right? Ask Litrip about it!

A traveler named Litrip seems to know about Bifrost Tower.

Let's go talk to him.

An Eclage Guard was looking for you just a minute ago, right?

I think he said he'll be waiting for you at the east gate. Don't you have to go?

Since he was very polite and all, I'm sure it's something good.

Sure. The Laphines in Eclage are very generous to travelers.

You seem very busy.

I heard so much about you from here and there.

I see that you're friends with Laphines already.

You've been working for the king of Laphines all along?!

How could you not say a word about it to me?

I want to be able to meet the king often, too.

I've seen him only once when I was congratulating him, and I only said few words...

Seriously~ I remember how beautiful he was.

But it seems like Laphines aren't all that delighted to see their king.

Why is that? Do you know anything about it?

I couldn't ask them straightforward questions related to that since I was afraid that it might hurt their pride.

As far as you know, the perception of Kardui among Laphines is somewhat favorable on the outside.

But in reality, the majority of Laphines feel uneasy, distrustful, and doubtful about him.

Let's stop worrying and ask Kardui instead!

What Fome said is interesting.

A distrusted king...should I listen to what other Laphines say about it?

I'm sure there is something.

It seemed from my observation that they were anxious while celebrating the birth of the king.

I should start planning on moving to the next region.

I'm debating whether I should just go back or go to Mora Village...

A group of travelers of Alpheim are having a conversation.

They don't seem to care that much.

When you approach, they stop talking for a second and make a seat for you.

Start a conversation.
