I wonder when Miriam will arrive~

Hello.

I believe it's our first meeting. Is this your first time in Rachel?

May the blessings of Freyja be with you, traveler.

Ah!

If it's a task entrusted by my mother, then I must do my best to help!!!

[Elly]

But we don't know much about the situation here. How can we mediate between people?

From my perspective...

Before mediating between people, I hope you understand the situation faced by the natives and our Gray Children.

Rachel...

It's a city with a beautiful temple now, but it used to be a Barren Wasteland where the natives lived.

But one day, Freyja's Disciples suddenly came and pushed the natives aside, building the temple.

Some people who followed the temple to settle down here tried to live together with the newcomers, but many couldn't bear it and left or... some suffered.

It would have been good if those were just things of the past... but they've continued until now.

As a result, there are children who have lost their place to go, and I am one of them.

My adoptive mother, who felt sorry for us, adopted me. And since she became a high-ranking priestess, she has been leading the way in adopting us into the homes of wealthy immigrants.

Some people found this unacceptable and discriminated against us, calling us the Gray Children. But my mother hoped that we would become bridges between immigrants and natives.

We couldn't fit in anywhere properly, just remained as an outsiders.

It would be better to hear such stories directly from people, but...

I have an important appointment with a friend right now, so could you please allow me to meet my friend and explain the situation later?

The time we agreed to meet...

[???]

It's already been 5 minutes, hasn't it?

Miriam!

Since when have you been here?

[Miriam]

But more importantly...

Oh!

This is my Friend Miriam.

Miriam, these are

They've come to see me at my mother's request.

I'm sorry,

It'll be quick if I just place the order.

Buying the item isn't as easy as I thought.

We've gathered the necessary personnel, although we're a bit short.

When Miriam returns... Oh!

[Tamarin]

It's Lord Niren's son!

Ah, you're the ones who came looking for my mother last time.

Tamarin, Mark, and Maggi, right?

Maram.

Miriam, you're back?

Did you find the clothes?

I brought some, but...

Is this enough?

Hahaha!

That outfit, could it be...

It's perfect!

Now that we've gathered all the necessary personnel and prepared the clothes, let me explain the plan.

We'll wear the clothes brought by Miriam and head to the top of this exotic town to move the goods.

I can't disclose the destination yet, so just follow me.

The others will change into the clothes with me and head to the entrance of the village first.

Now that all the necessary personnel are gathered and the clothes are ready, let me explain the plan.

We'll put on the clothes Miriam brought and pretend to be a foreign merchant, then move the goods.

Hello, how are you?

Nice to meet you.

I'm Miriam, a friend of Maram.

So, Miriam, here's the thing.

My mother asked you to help

Can you go alone?

If it's something Niren asked for, then there's no helping it.

But we can't even leave because we don't have the items.

What?

Didn't you buy them?

Here, a check.

Ugh...

You didn't make a mistake while buying the items or something, did you?

Me...?

You're good most of the time, but sometimes you get annoyed...

No, right?

Sigh...

This is really a big problem...

Can't you buy from those merchants last time?

Hmm...

If I want to deal with them, I have to go myself...

It'll be quick because I just need to place the order.
