Gameplay Notes

After step 1, Belle and Wise will automatically switch to their Agent Outfits Summer Skies and Peaceful Waves.
- While the player is at Fantasy Resort, and tracking this and all subsequent commissions, only the chosen protagonist can be controlled while roaming.
During step 13, Fantasy Resort will have unique rainy weather. However, the player can only explore the immediate area around Remielle, as the rest of the resort is blocked off by debris or Lucy and Sigrid.
During steps 13-15, the story can be paused outside of combat.
During steps 14-15, the squad will be limited to a trial Remielle Dan, Luciana de Montefio, and Sigrid de L'Azur.
- They will each be equipped with their Agent Outfits Seashade Pas Seul, Princess on Holiday, and Majestic Wavechaser, respectively.
- Any combat Bangboo can be selected in the Squad Configuration menu.
During step 15, the data pile's progress bar will increase as long as the player stays within the collection area; enemies do not have to be kept out of the area.
- The player does not have to defeat every enemy wave. Combat ends once the bar is full and all enemies in the current wave have been defeated.

Dialogue

Talk with (‍BelleBelleText for Wise / WiseWiseText for Belle‍) about recent developments

After everything that went down in Roscaelifer, head back to Sixth Street with (‍Belle / Wise‍) and talk about recent developments to (‍her / him‍).

Sixth Street

(Idle): (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Nothing beats being (‍home...home...Text for Wise / home!home!Text for Belle‍)

(Talk to (‍BelleBelleText for Wise / WiseWiseText for Belle‍))

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Finally got that whole Roscaelifer situation sorted out... Nothing beats being back (‍home! / home...‍)

The Amber Hall isn't bad either...

But nothing beats Random Play.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Yeah, (‍Wise / Belle‍)... After everything you've been through, shouldn't you take some time to rest and recharge?

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Leave any odd jobs around the shop to me, your Deputy Manager!

I'm still a little sleepy.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): After everything you've been through, feeling sleepy is totally normal. (‍Alright, alright, Wise, go back to bed and rest! / Alright, Belle, go back and get some more rest.‍)

But I feel wide awake right now...

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): After everything you've been through, (‍Wise / Belle‍), a little excitement is totally normal, but if you don't get proper rest, sleepiness will catch up with you sooner or (‍later~ / later.‍)

Pushed back into the room without a word of protest by (‍BelleBelleText for Wise / WiseWiseText for Belle‍), you lie down on the bed and pull the soft, comfortable blanket over yourself once more... The hazy sleepiness fades as memories of the past begin to replay one by one in your mind.

The journey to the skies came to an end not long ago. After a few days back home to recover and fully regain your strength, summer arrives once again.

Another Summer Beach Rendezvous

Special Event

"Another Summer Beach Rendezvous"

Story Description: Yuzuha and Alice show up outside the video store with some good news — Fantasy Resort is gearing up to host a bonfire party. After a bit of convincing, (‍Wise and Belle / Belle and Wise‍) decide to head out to the resort to help set things up and enjoy a little vacation while they're at it.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Yuzuha, Alice? What brings you here all of a sudden? (‍Need / Do you need‍) a hand with something?

Ukinami Yuzuha: Hmph, "all of a sudden"? We've stopped by plenty of times already, and FINALLY, we managed to catch you two busy bees!

Alice: Yuzuha! Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? We've only been here once...

Alice: And wasn't the reason we missed them last time... because you didn't call ahead of time?

Ukinami Yuzuha: ...Ahem. I mean... with how close the four of us are, who needs all that call ahead nonsense! See? We managed to meet up today just fine.

We were out of town.

We haven't been around the store lately.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Yeah!‍) You don't need to call (‍ahead before you drop by. / before dropping by.‍) We were just out of town... so we haven't been around the store (‍as much‍) lately.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍*Cough* Sorry about that! But hey, that's also part of Random Play's charm! The managers may be away often, but the Bangboo will always take good care of our friends and customers! / *sigh*... That's Random Play for you — The owners are never around, and the poor Bangboo are always left to hold down the fort...‍)

Ukinami Yuzuha: Right, the Bangboo did say "Belle and Wise are away on business"... but they also said, "They were kidnapped by a giant airship." What did they mean by that?

Ukinami Yuzuha: Hahaha! Don't look so serious~ Let me guess — you two were off saving New Eridu again? Anyway, now that you're back safe and sound, how about we go out and have some fun?

Yeah, we've been thinking about it.

Got any recommendations?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍We were considering the same thing, but hadn't quite picked a destination... Do you have a recommendation, Yuzuha? / We were actually thinking about the same thing! Just haven't decided where to go yet... Since you brought it up, Yuzuha, does that mean you've got a place in mind?‍)

Ukinami Yuzuha: Hmm~ Let me think. On a hot summer day like this... if you want the beach, sea breeze, and cold drinks...

Fantasy Resort?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): You mean... Fantasy Resort?

Alice: You got it! The resort's been running smoothly for a while now, and with the beach season in full swing, visitor numbers have skyrocketed. It even made it to this year's Ridu Summer Getaway Guide.

Alice: Therese messaged us not too long ago. She said they're planning to add some new attractions, and it sounds like they're even putting together a beach bonfire party!

Ukinami Yuzuha: Exactly! We've already checked it out for you, and I can confirm it's true — it's absolutely worth another visit!

You already checked it out... for us?

Aren't you coming with us?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Hold on. / Wait a minute...‍) What do you mean, "checked it out for us"? (‍Are you not coming with? / Don't tell me you two aren't coming?‍)

Ukinami Yuzuha: Well... Spook Shack's summer plan this year is a big road trip adventure!

Alice: You know, the kind of long trip where we're leaving any minute now and still haven't decided where we're going first.

Ukinami Yuzuha: Oh, don't sweat the little details~ The whole theme of this trip is "surprise," remember?

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍That's totally a Yuzuha-style theme... Wise and I wish you all an awesome trip! / That does sound very you, Yuzuha... Well then, Belle and I wish you all an amazing trip.‍)

Ukinami Yuzuha: Same to you! Oh, and that bonfire party Alice mentioned... looks like the preparations aren't finished yet. You'll have to sort out the details yourselves!

Alice: Therese said that with everyone so busy, they handed the event over to an outside contractor. But... I can't help feeling like something's off...

I'm sure it'll be fine.

Want us to help out?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Leave it to us. Fantasy Resort is "Alice's former asset," after all. We'll make sure everything's ok. / No worries! Leave Fantasy Resort to Wise and me. We won't just sit back and let anything happen to "Alice's former asset"!‍)

Ukinami Yuzuha: Hahaha, that's exactly what we wanted to hear! Now we can head out without a care in the world~ See you on the day of the bonfire party!

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): The day of the party? (‍Looks like you did have some kind of plan! / So you do have a plan.‍)

Alice: ...Alright, let me rephrase. This is the kind of long-distance trip where we're about to leave, still haven't decided on our first destination, and the only thing we know for sure is when we'll be back at Fantasy Resort.

Ukinami Yuzuha: Oh, come on, Alice! Have a little faith~ You know better than anyone I'm the type who "sounds kinda sketchy~ but is actually super reliable," right? Right?!

Ukinami Yuzuha: Anyway, you two can head over whenever you're ready! Therese already set aside the biggest, fanciest ocean-view suite for the two heroes who brought Fantasy Resort back to life~

Then let's head out right now.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍...*Cough* I have to admit, that does sound tempting. Belle, let's get changed and head out. / Really?! Then what are we waiting for? Wise, go get changed!‍)

After a quick goodbye to Yuzuha and Alice, the two of you head back to your rooms.

Special Event

(A cinematic plays)

Belle: Whoa, looks like business here is booming!

Belle: Is that...

Belle: Some sort of fountain?

Belle: ...Hm?

(As they reach the shore, the "fountain" in the distance draws closer)
(It turns out to be Sigrid sprinting across the water, smoothie in hand and dressed in swimwear)
(She reaches the beach with such force that she creates a wave and startles the other beachgoers)

Sigrid: Oh, it is you guys...

Belle & Wise: Sigrid?!

Belle: How did you run across the water like that?

Sigrid: I was just taking a stroll...

(Remielle — also in a swimsuit — flutters down and observes the group from afar)

Remielle: Aww...

Remielle: What a lively scene~

(Cinematic ends)

Find out why Sigrid's here

Just as you step onto the beach in your swimsuit, you run into Sigrid, the one who caused quite the scene. Ask her what brings her to the resort.

Fantasy Resort

(Idle): Sigrid: You're here too? Small world.

(Talk to Sigrid)

One Who Descends from the Sky

Special Event

"One Who Descends from the Sky"

Story Description: Sigrid claims she came to the resort because of a bet with Norma. After calling Velina and learning that Sigrid is the party's liaison officer, the siblings promise Velina to help Sigrid fulfill her end of the bet.

Sigrid: Belle, Wise? What a coincidence. Last I heard, your home in New Eridu wasn't exactly near the ocean. What are you doing here?

We're on vacation.

Sigrid, what are you doing here?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Belle and I wanted a beach vacation after all the work we've been doing... But, wait... Why are you here? And with such a dramatic entrance, no less... / After all that hard work, it's finally beach vacation time for us! Wait... shouldn't we be asking you that? And what's with the dramatic entrance?!‍)

Sigrid: Dramatic? Had the beach not obstructed my route, I could have arrived much sooner.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍...*Sigh* I knew it, it's all the beach's fault! But still, there are lots of ordinary Ridu citizens here. If you start creating "artificial rain" all of a sudden, you're going to scare them away... / You're right, the beach owes you an apology for not being familiar with your game... Still, there are a lot of ordinary Ridu citizens around. You might startle them, riding in on a wave like that.‍)

Sigrid: I hadn't realized it would disturb them... When I visit Flint Workshop on official business, I sometimes travel across the sea like this. I've grown used to it over time.

Sigrid: My apologies. I didn't mean to trouble any tourists. That said... it seems I've already fallen behind in my bet with Norma.

People in Roscaelifer probably already knew about it.

A bet with Norma?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍I imagine you're so well known in Roscaelifer that no one bats an eye anymore... Wait, what do you mean, your "bet with Norma"? / I figured everyone in Roscaelifer probably already knew about you, so they're used to it... Wait, a bet with Norma?‍)

Sigrid: Yes. Norma thinks I can hardly survive outside Roscaelifer. Sorry... I'm getting a call.

Sigrid takes out her phone, fumbles for a moment before answering.
You happen to catch the name on the screen... It's Velina.

Velina: Sigrid? Norma asked me to check in. Have you made it to the Resort yet?

Norma: Oh, come on, Veli! You're the one who kept imagining all those wild scenarios where Sigrid wreaks havoc on public order and terrifies the Ridu citizens... You were so worried you just had to call and check in on her!

(Say hello to them.)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Morning, Velina, Norma. We just ran into Sigrid by the beach. / Hi, Velina! Hi, Norma! We just ran into Sigrid~‍)

Velina: Ah, you two are there too? That's a relief. *Cough* I'll skip the formalities — could you tell me how you met Sigrid, and what you know about why she's there?

Together, you and (‍BelleBelleText for Wise / WiseWiseText for Belle‍) explained how you met Sigrid, why you'd come to the resort, and what little you'd learned about the bet.

Norma: Dashing across the sea?! As expected of you, Sigrid! I can't wait for the day you become a Ridu urban legend~

Sigrid: *Cough*... That's a slight exaggeration, Norma. What I did was pretty ordinary, not nearly enough to make me a "legend"...

Everyone...

What exactly is the bet?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Sorry, before we go off on another tangent, I have to know — what exactly is this bet between Sigrid and Norma? / Sorry, everyone! This question's been interrupted too many times already. So, what exactly is the bet between Sigrid and Norma?‍)

Velina: Let me explain.

Velina: With the deepening exchanges between Roscaelifer and New Eridu, our work now involves more cross-regional affairs. However, Norma claimed that Sigrid isn't suited for such matters...

Sigrid: Norma's exact words in her critique were: "Outside Roscaelifer, you wouldn't even be able to tie that ponytail of yours." Naturally, I disagreed...

Sigrid: ...In any case. Please continue, Velina.

Velina: In short, what started as a rather childish disagreement turned into a bet: Sigrid would prove herself by helping organize a major event in Ridu and overseeing its security.

Norma: Luckily her little stunt didn't make fish rain down on the beachgoers, or the mission would've failed spectacularly before it even began~

Velina: *Cough* The bonfire party is being organized by a company affiliated with Marcel Group, but the project itself falls under the ESD. So Sigrid has been assigned as the event's liaison officer.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍...Wow. Marcel Group really spans a lot of industries! / ...Marcel Group, huh. I guess they really are one of New Eridu's pillars.‍)

Norma: Oh, right! Even if Veli's been trying to rope you two into this, don't go helping her cheat too much, okay?

Sigrid: ...I do not cheat.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍So... Wise and I are just gonna head back to the VIP suite and enjoy the ocean view now I guess? / Ah... Well, with that cleared up, Belle and I have a nice ocean view and a VIP suite waiting for us.‍)

Sigrid: ...My apologies. Judging by what just happened, I believe I may require a certain amount of assistance... within the limits permitted by the bet, of course.

Velina: Considering the bet, this is more than just throwing a party. Sigrid must first run a shop at the resort, then use all the profits from it to fund the party.

Norma: Exactly! Where's the fun in a boring bet? Surely a challenge like this is easy for Sigrid — Miss "I can tie my own ponytail," right?

Sigrid: ...To be honest, I only half understand what's going on. But right now, with the two of you helping me, I see no reason I should fail.

Velina: So... Belle, Wise, interested in joining? With Sigrid involved, I doubt things will be boring... At the very least, it should make your vacation more memorable.

"Doubt things will be boring," huh?

I was just thinking the same thing.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍From what we've seen of this little bet already, "boring" was never on the table. Belle and I will do our best to help. / ...If stuff like that keeps happening, this little bet could turn out way more than "not boring." Anyway, Wise and I don't mind lending a hand!‍)

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Besides, (‍Sigrid is a rare visitor at / Sigrid's a one-of-a-kind visitor to‍) the resort. As the "ex-interim resort manager" and her friend, it's only (‍right that / natural‍) we give her a (‍warm welcome. / proper welcome!‍)

Norma: Then Sigrid's in your hands! Hehe, if anything interesting happens... you have to tell me all about it!

Norma: After all, I already told her I'd only discuss the stakes once her odds of winning climbed above five percent~

After a few final words with Velina and Norma, you wrapped up the details and ended the call.
Just as you were about to plan your next move, Therese came rushing over, flustered and jogging...

Therese: Miss Sigrid, (‍Wise and Belle / Belle and Wise‍)—are you here to check the situation as well? That sea geyser just now was spectacular, but something about it still feels... off.

Sigrid: My deepest apologies for causing such a disturbance and making you worry, Lady Therese. (‍Wise / Belle‍) has already explained the potential consequences of such actions. I'll exercise better judgment in the future.

Therese: Huh? No need to apologize, Ms. Sigrid! Judging by the tourists' reactions, it didn't cause any negative impact. In fact, everyone really enjoyed this "surprise performance"~

Therese: It happened so suddenly that I thought it might be a natural disaster or someone deliberately causing trouble, which is why I got a bit flustered... Now that I know what really happened, I can finally relax!

That's great.

We're relieved as well.

Therese: Mm! By the way... when we first discussed the collaboration with Miss Velina, she mentioned that there would be two other partners involved besides Miss Sigrid. Could it be...?

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): That must be referring to (‍Wise / Belle‍) and me. (‍But wow... I never expected that / But... I really didn't expect‍) Velina's "plan" had already taken us into account so early on!

Sigrid: Velina has always been like that. She's able to plan everything she handles so perfectly. It's truly admirable.

As expected of Velina.

Therese: Yes... Whenever we communicate with Miss Velina, she always offers just the right advice at the right time. She's really incredible!

Therese: Ah! I got a bit off track there... Anyway... I'm really happy that (‍Wise and Belle / Belle and Wise‍) could join the collaboration! During such a busy period, I'm truly grateful to be preparing the bonfire party with you both!

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Therese, you pulled everything together flawlessly and even arranged the resort's best ocean-view suite for us. If anything, we should be the ones thanking (‍you! / you.‍)

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Besides, (‍instead of just breezing through the holidays like regular tourists, we'd rather / why spend the vacation as ordinary tourists when we can‍) hang out with our friends and do something that actually (‍matters. / matters!‍)

(‍You said it perfectly, Belle! / You're absolutely right, Wise!‍)

And just like that, it's settled!

Therese: Here's to a great partnership! Anyway... you three should head over to that soon-to-open shop and check it out! The resort liaison is already there, waiting to meet up with you all.

Therese: This is a two-way partnership, after all. I can't let you handle everything for the party just because I've been busy... She's incredibly reliable. I'm sure she'll be a real asset to this little "Bonfire Night Crew"!

Sigrid: I've now experienced Lady Therese's "thoughtfulness" firsthand... (‍Wise / Belle‍), let's get going!

Alright, let's go.

Therese: The shop is right near the Sailboat Drinks Stand, so (‍Wise / Belle‍) should know where it is. If you encounter any problems, you're always welcome to come find me at the reception.

Therese waves goodbye and heads off, full of energy...
Time to make your way to the shop you'll soon be running.

Go to the store about to open

Now that we've gotten an idea of what to prepare for the bonfire party, let's head to the store and check things out.

Fantasy Resort

(Idle): (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Let's check out somewhere (‍else!else!Text for Wise / else.else.Text for Belle‍)

(Talk to (‍BelleBelleText for Wise / WiseWiseText for Belle‍), optional): (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Anything else on your mind, (‍Wise?Wise?Text for Wise / Belle?Belle?Text for Belle‍) If we're all set, why don't we head over to the new spot where Ridu's "Best Manager" is about to (‍show off his skills!show off his skills!Text for Wise / make her mark?make her mark?Text for Belle‍); Hope you get some good rest, (‍BelleBelleText for Wise / WiseWiseText for Belle‍); I'll take care of the holiday business.; (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): ...Hm? (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍), you're suddenly saying that... Don't tell me you're worried about me, your trusty Deputy Manager who's been working hard to keep the video store running all this time?; (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Ahem... but thinking about it more carefully: with us, Sigrid, Therese, and the resort liaison we mentioned... for running a small beach shop, isn't that lineup a bit too... "star-studded"?; (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): How about this... (‍Wise,Wise,Text for Wise / Belle,Belle,Text for Belle‍) while you're running the shop, Fairy and I can serve as the "rapid response unit." That way, we'll be following your orders to "get some rest" without missing any chances to help (‍out!out!Text for Wise / out.out.Text for Belle‍); Sounds pretty good.; Then I'll be counting on you, (‍BelleBelleText for Wise / WiseWiseText for Belle‍)!; (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Oh, and as for running the shop, I'll leave that to our Manager (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍)! I heard the shopping street just got a bunch of new specialty foods. I'll make sure to taste-test them all for you!

(Idle): Sigrid: Running the store... Planning the party...; Sigrid: There's a lot to do. Let's get moving!

(Approach the store)

(Lucy stands in front of Seaside Souvenirs, dressed in her new beachwear)

Lucy: Hm? Finally decided to show up, did you?

Talk to Lucy

Following Therese's guidance, you arrive at the soon-to-open souvenir shop. Talk to Lucy, who you meet outside the store.

Fantasy Resort

(Idle): Lucy: Morning, everyone.; Sigrid: Greetings.

(Talk to Lucy)

Beach Souvenir Shop

Special Event

"Beach Souvenir Shop"

Story Description: Sigrid meets Lucy outside the souvenir shop, gets the full rundown on running the shop and organizing the party, then tries her hand at making souvenirs, only to come up short. The group decides to split up the work, dividing tasks between crafting and selling the souvenirs.

Lucy: Prox... Hey, Manager! So this is the client's liaison officer Therese and Alice mentioned?

Sigrid: Good day. I am Sigrid, and I extend my greetings.

Lucy: What is she... a knight from some bygone era...?

That's just how Sigrid talks. Don't worry about it.

Lucy, you're the Resort's liaison?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): That's just how she talks... don't worry about (‍it. / it!‍) But Lucy, if you're here... does that mean you're the Resort's liaison...?

Lucy: *Cough* After spending so much time around Caesar, it's kinda shocking to meet someone in New Eridu who talks like that.

Lucy: And as for the "liaison" role... Alice wanted to go on her little road trip, but couldn't stop worrying about the resort's new business partner. So naturally, because I'm too nice for my own good, I got roped into this stupid part-time gig!

Lucy: ...I mean, it's summertime! If Therese hadn't promised me the biggest, fanciest, ocean-view suite with the best view in the whole resort, there's no way I'd be running around doing all this extra work...

How many ocean-view suites are there, anyway?

But you actually seem kinda into it.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): ...I'm starting to wonder how many "biggest, fanciest ocean-view suites with the best view" this place actually (‍has. / has!‍) But judging by the new swimsuit, Lucy, you don't seem very (‍reluctant. / reluctant~‍)

Lucy: (Mutters) I told Alice not to let Yuzuha pick out my swimsuit... that girl...

Lucy: ...*Cough* Anyway, a promise is a promise. Let's talk about the bonfire party!

Sigrid: I concur. Then... what should be our next step?

Lucy: Since we're funding the party through the shop... the hottest item on any beach has got to be seashell souvenirs! And to make them, we'll need to go beachcombing first...

Lucy: ...Tsk. This is going to take a while. Hey, you, Miss Museum Piece, how are your DIY skills?

Sigrid: D... I... I am indeed adept at felling my enemies, but I fail to understand how this will help.

...That's not...

...Sigrid's arts-and-crafts skills...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): ...That's not what (‍she / Lucy‍) meant. (‍From what I know / But if I had to guess‍), Sigrid's arts-and-crafts skills are (‍probably...better [sic] / probably... better‍) than nothing?

Lucy: Good enough. Then I'll make the first one and show you how it's done!

Lucy quickly puts together a beautiful shell ornament.
Sigrid steps forward and picks up a shell, imitating Lucy... only to crush it immediately.

Sigrid: ...I believe the raw materials need to be inspected first.

Lucy: ...Maybe you should just leave the materials alone...

Lucy: Actually, forget the crafting, you're on sales duty! Just keep your hands off the finished products, or we'll have to start selling crushed shell powder instead.

Lucy: Tch. Alice said this partner had quite the reputation and is supposed to be competent... So why'd they send you? You look like you're completely clueless...

Sigrid: ...Hm...

Sigrid falls silent, and even her bright hair suddenly seems to lose its luster.
You explain to Lucy what Sigrid is doing here, emphasising her ability and authority when it comes to maintaining safety and security.

Lucy: Anyway, let's just give it a try! Oh, right, you should probably have an official title, too... Based on what the Proxy's said about you, how about "Bonfire Party Security Director"?

I guess that's our only option.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Yeah. You do the crafting, Lucy, and Sigrid and I will handle sales (‍and security‍). Seems like our only choice.^{[Note 1]}

Sigrid: I thank you both for your trust! Time waits for no one. Let us proceed at once! I shall faithfully perform my duties as Se... Security Director!

Lucy: All thumbs but full of spirit... Not sure if that's good or bad. I'm half tempted to introduce you to Caesar, but I doubt she'd understand a word out of your mouth...

Lucy: Oh right, I forgot to introduce you earlier. This is Lolo, our shop assistant.

Lolo: Hello, Manager and Miss Sigrid! Sorry, I was so focused on your conversation earlier that I didn't get a chance to introduce myself...

Lolo: I... I may be new around here at the resort, but I'll give it everything I've got to help you run this place right!

Pleasure working with you.

Lolo: Yeah, yeah! The shop still has prepped ingredients left over from the resort's soft opening, so feel free to use whatever you need!

Lolo: If there's anything you're still unclear about regarding the soft opening or the party, Manager, I'd be happy to go over it again!

About beachcombing and running the shop...

Lolo: According to the contract, you'll need to earn the funds for the bonfire party by running the beach souvenir shop. The shop's revenue comes from selling custom-made crafts!

Lolo: The materials needed to craft souvenirs are gathered through beachcombing during regular business. I'll go over that in more detail after the trial run!

I've got it all down.

Lolo: As expected of the Manager! Alright, let's get ready for the soft opening!

Sigrid: Alright, let's get started! If we want this to go smoothly, taking action is what matters most!

Lucy: Manager, is she really... okay?

I think...so...?

Have faith in Sigrid.

Lucy: If the Manager says so, who am I to argue? *sigh*... I just hope Sigrid can eventually step up and truly hold her own as a co-organizer.

Sigrid: I got this. Lady Lucy's assistance is just a temporary measure, and once I've mastered all the processes, you can leave everything to me without a second thought.

Start the soft opening.

(Open event interface)
(Continue to bubble text below)

I still need a moment to prepare.

Hold a soft opening and reach over 10,000 in sales.

After learning the basics of how the shop is run, start the soft opening together with your companions.

Fantasy Resort

(Idle): Sigrid: I'm sure I can handle everything properly.; Sigrid: No time to waste. Let's get this started!

(Talk to Lolo, if exited)

Lolo: Hello, Manager! Everything's ready to go. Shall we start the soft opening?

Let's start the soft opening!

(Open event interface)

I've got other things to do.

(Bubble, upon opening the event interface): Sigrid: This is our shop's revenue — well, at zero right now.; Sigrid: Let's hustle hard to make this bonfire party happen!

(Select Treasure Trading): Sigrid: There are some Sea Materials in the shop's Storage that can be used to craft souvenirs; Sigrid: Once the Sea Materials are ready, you still need to lock down who's running the shop; Sigrid: This time, leave the managing to me; Sigrid: All set and ready to roll; Sigrid: Let's get this business running

(Start managing): Sigrid: I'll handle the selling! Choosing materials and crafting... I'll count on you for that.

(Bubble, while managing the store): Sigrid: During operations, you can check the order conditions here; Sigrid: Complete orders to earn rewards and buffs that make future orders easier to pull off; Sigrid: Got an order that does not work for you? Refresh it here — you can refresh up to 3 times per turn.; Sigrid: Let's roll with this order for now; Sigrid: Tap Confirm Order to start crafting!; Sigrid: Each order has 3 different score requirements; Sigrid: Sea Materials can provide 3 types of scores matching order requirements; Sigrid: Score's good enough. Submit the order!

(After submitting the order): Sigrid: This order is a bit special — you'll need to meet some extra conditions to score the buff; Sigrid: Let's give it a shot!; Sigrid: Special conditions for the order will be shown here; Sigrid: Only when this condition is met can we earn the order bonus; Sigrid: Submit this [sic] Sea Materials to the order!; Sigrid: That satisfies the special condition and unlocks the buff!
(Open "Treasure Trading" tutorial)

(After running out of materials): Sigrid: The materials we've got... don't look like enough to fill this order; Sigrid: Let's call it a day for now

Lolo: The soft opening went really well! We didn't have a huge supply of materials in the storage, but everyone who came to shop for handicrafts left satisfied!

Great!

I'm sure she'll be fine after that.

Sigrid: I've fully mastered the sales process. I also learned quite a few tricks while observing Lady Lucy at work. From here on out, leave everything to me!

Lucy: Tall one... I really need to school you on something. Being responsible doesn't mean taking everything onto your own shoulders! Do your part and trust your companions. That's what true responsibility looks like.

Sigrid: I see... but don't you have to do as much as you possibly can when you're in charge?

Lucy: You're not the only one in charge around here! Besides, we've got plenty of other things to take care of! Whether it's running a shop or organizing a party, teamwork is really important.

Lucy's got a point.

Let's all do our best!

Sigrid: Got it. If that's what everyone thinks, then I'll see it through with you all... Now fill me in on whatever else is left on the list!

Lucy: Now we're talking!

Lucy: It's also clear from the soft opening that making handicrafts requires a lot of materials, and we'll have to gather them ourselves. As for how to obtain the materials and where to find them, I'll leave that to Lolo to explain.

Lolo: ...Oh, oh! Got it! Basically, everyone needs to go to specific beaches on their own and beachcomb for crafting materials.

Lolo: This is an attraction Miss Therese has wanted to open for a long time, but since the project isn't fully commercialized yet, only a few areas will be open to everyone for now. I've been there once, and it was actually pretty fun!

The beach is for beachcombing!

So we're actually the "Beachcombing Crew."

Sigrid: Beachcombing... Chasing things is my specialty, and the sea is no exception. So this time... Lady Lucy, you can count on me.

Lucy: ...Sure, your understanding might be a bit off, but this could actually be right up your alley. Grab your tools, head to the beach, and collect some materials from the sea. Sounds easy enough, right?

Sigrid: Hmm... Fair point. In that case, let me go with Lady Lucy!

Lucy: I've got a proposal. How about we both grab our beachcombing gear, head to different stretches of shore, and see who comes back with the bigger haul? What do you say?

Sigrid: Heh, I like it. Lady Lucy, just like (‍Wise / Belle‍), is a companion I truly respect. Getting to compete with you? Couldn't ask for anything better.

Lucy: Ahem... Thanks for the kind words. A—Anyway, Lolo will give you a quick rundown of the basics of beachcombing. After that, just head out and collect whatever you can!

If that's the case...

Which team should I join?

Sigrid: I'd like you, (‍Wise / Belle‍), to accompany Lady Lucy—not that I lack confidence in handling both of you at once, but our main goal right now is still gathering materials to support the business. Keeping you two together is simply the most efficient option.

Lucy: Heh... Since when did you become so thoughtful, Sigrid? Are you really the Sigrid I know? But you've got a point. We can't let a little joking around get in the way of business. Let's go with that.

Sigrid: Ahem... I'm also grateful for your kind words, Lady Lucy.

Lolo: Since everyone's on the same page, we can head out whenever! The beachcombing gear's all ready to go, so feel free to use whatever you need!

Alright!

Let's get ready and head out.

Head out for beachcombing

After learning that souvenir materials are obtained through beachcombing, get ready and begin your first run.

Fantasy Resort

(Idles): Sigrid: So these are the beachcombing tools?; Sigrid: Another thing I've never seen before...

Lucy: Manager, ready to get started?

(Talk to Lolo)

Lolo: If you're ready to head out, Manager, let me give you a quick introduction to beachcombing!

I'm ready.

(Open event interface)

I've got other things to do.

(Bubble, upon opening the event interface): Lucy: There are preparations to make before heading out to the shore.

(Select Seaside Beachcombing): Lucy: Select your beachcombing character and gear to begin beachcombing.; Lucy: Select your beachcombing character here.; Lucy: Every character has beachcombing skills that make beachcombing more fun and efficient.; Lucy: Looks like I'm the one going beachcombing this time!; Lucy: Next, choose your beachcombing gear.; Lucy: Select Basic Beachcombing Gear.; Lucy: No time to waste. Let's get going!

Complete the "Seaside Beachcombing" stage

After learning the basics of beachcombing, set off on your first expedition.

(Idles): Lucy: Let me show you how it's done!

Sigrid: Well, this is something I might be good at...

Sigrid: It has to be perfect!

(Talk to Lolo again, if exited): Lolo: Manager! Ready to grab your tools and head out for some fun beachcombing with everyone?; Let's go!; I've got other things to do.

(Start beachcombing)

(Open Harvest Sea Materials tutorial)

(After completing the stage): Lolo: You're back! How was your beachcombing experience?; Not bad.; What a haul!; Lucy: Yes, the Manager and I have already gone through our haul. We should have enough materials to keep the shop running today.; Lolo: Awesome! And once we add in whatever Ms. Sigrid brings back, we'll have more than enough materials to open the shop today! Speaking of which... where's Ms. Sigrid?; Lucy: Her? Oh, there she is. She's back already.; Sigrid comes jogging over from the beachcombing area and joins the others.; Sigrid: Sorry, I'm late. Hmm... That's quite a haul, Lady Lucy and (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍)...; Lucy: Of course! But Sigrid... why did you come back empty-handed?; Sigrid: That's true... Lady Lucy, you won the match.; Sigrid: After we split up, I headed farther down the coast and searched for quite a while, but there wasn't a single exposed stretch of beach. There was no sign of any appropriate materials either, and the waves were incredibly rough...; Sigrid: After I finished searching the area, it was almost time to meet up, so I headed back.; Lucy: No other beachcombing areas available? So what you're saying is... we're stuck working this one stretch of beach every time we need to gather materials?; Lucy: It won't really affect operations, but the variety and quantity of materials might still be a bit limited... Anyway, let's just stick to the plan and get things done! It's almost opening time, so we should focus on finishing the job properly.; I think so too.; Let's ask later if there are any other areas.; Sigrid: Sorry... Lady Lucy and (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍), you trusted me so much, but I came back empty-handed. If I get another chance, I won't let it end like this again!; Lucy: ...Alright, alright. Let's just blame Mother Nature for this one. No need to beat yourself up over it, Sigrid.; Sigrid: Alright, I'll put in double the effort in both operations and sales. Lady Lucy, please watch my performance closely!; Lucy: Mm-hmm, let the results speak for themselves!

Reach over 10,000 in sales through Treasure Trading.

Work together with Sigrid to complete today's business operations.

Fantasy Resort

(Idles): Lucy: With the Proxy here, there's probably no need to worry too much...; Lucy: Then let's see what Sigrid's got!

Sigrid: Lolo, shall we get started?

Lolo: Miss Sigrid is so full of enthusiasm!

(Talk to Lolo)

Lolo: Manager, all the materials you brought back have been stocked. Shall we open for business?

Let's open for business!

(Open Treasure Trading)

Oh, wait! I've got other things to do.

(Bubble, upon opening Treasure Trading): Sigrid: Leave the shop to me this time; Sigrid: My technique is all about boosting the efficiency and profits of Basic Techniques; Sigrid: Alright, let's get this operation off the ground!

(Start managing): Sigrid: Check it out — looks like the order requirements just got easier.; Sigrid: This is the effect of Basic Techniques; Sigrid: Unleashing your Active Skill also triggers all Basic Technique effects one extra time — use it as much as you can!; Sigrid: In the pause menu, you can check the skill effects of your current Character; Sigrid: Use Character skills at just the right moment to keep your business running smoother than ever!; Sigrid: Let's keep this operation running!; Sigrid: Let's roll with this order for now; Sigrid: Order confirmed, let's get it started!; Sigrid: Tap here to instantly select and submit Sea Materials for the order; Sigrid: You can check the submitted Sea Materials here; Sigrid: Adjust your submitted Sea Materials here

(After submitting the order): Sigrid: Picking orders randomly won't get you the highest revenue; Sigrid: Let's check what buffs we scored from that last order; Sigrid: So it's an effect that boosts Three-Color Order earnings; Sigrid: Here you can see the color category of the order; Sigrid: This order provides the Three-Color Order buff; Sigrid: Keep picking orders related to Three-Color Orders to rack up higher revenue.; Sigrid: Let's pick this order first

(After submitting the order): Sigrid: A VIP Customer has arrived; Sigrid: Orders from VIP customers come with extra requirements; Sigrid: But it also comes with even more powerful special rewards; Sigrid: This VIP customer will turn subsequent orders into Three-Color Orders; Sigrid: Complete her order, and a Three-Color Order will appear in the subsequent turns.; Sigrid: Pick this order; Sigrid: Hit 50,000 in revenue — that's the target for this run.
(Open Sigrid Character Intro tutorial)

(After submitting Vivian's order): Vivian: If possible... I want it to be more than just a souvenir — but something truly worth appreciating.

(After reaching 50,000 revenue and settling): Lolo: That's a wrap on today's business! Great work, everyone!; Lucy: I did a quick check on the revenue. We've successfully reached our initial target. Not bad at all. But...; But...?; Lucy, you're not happy with the results?; Lucy: Not exactly... It's just that today's opening hours were longer than I expected... Looking at the sales data, it's probably because the price per craft item was on the low side due to lower-grade materials.; Sigrid: Meaning... we could've done this faster and better. Hmm... if I'd found a better beachcombing area earlier, maybe things would've turned out differently today.; Sigrid: So it seems... it was still my fault...; It's not your fault, Sigrid...; The environment is just something we can't control...; Sigrid: But...; Lucy: No buts! Tall one, you're way too hung up on this. I already said it: this was a team effort, so if anything didn't go as planned, it's on all of us equally!; Lolo: That's right, that's right! And sure, there were a few minor hiccups, but we still hit our sales target, so Ms. Sigrid, you don't need to beat yourself up over it!; Sigrid: If you all say so... I'll try to accept it. Thank you, everyone.; Lucy: Now we're talking! Manager, let's go find Therese and ask her if there are any beachcombing areas with higher-value materials? I don't want to spend the next few days scrounging around on this tiny little beach for materials.; I agree.; Let's head to the reception and find her.; Lucy: Alright, let's head out. As for minding the shop... Lolo, we're going to need you to hold things down while we're gone.; Lolo: I got this!

Head to the reception desk and ask Therese what's going on

Although today's business goals have been met, the fact that not all beachcombing areas have been unlocked may affect the preparations for the upcoming party. Go to the reception desk and ask Therese what's going on and how to resolve it.

Fantasy Resort

(Idle): Lucy: The person chatting with Therese...; Lucy: Judging by the outfit... that doesn't seem to be a tourist.

(Talk to Lucy, optional): Lucy: The person talking to Therese in there... dressed in a suit, certainly doesn't look like a tourist.; Sigrid: I agree with Lady Lucy. From the way he's dressed, he looks a lot like the office workers I've seen before.; Lucy: Could he be someone from another division working with us?; Lucy: Forget it. There's no point speculating about someone else. I'd better go ask Therese what happened first!

(Idle): Favco: Isn't urgency exactly when they need us most?; Favco: Don't worry, this is all within expectations!

(Approach the reception desk)

Anomaly in the Hollow

Special Event

"Anomaly in the Hollow"

Story Description: Favco, the security company manager, claims the trouble in the beachcombing area stemmed from a Hollow and that the situation is urgent. Skeptical of his account, (‍Wise / Belle‍) and the others decide to find another place to talk things over so as not to disrupt the resort's operations.

Therese: In any case, our guests' safety and overall experience are at stake. I'd appreciate it if you could resolve this as quickly as possible.

Favco: Oh! Don't worry, you can put your mind at ease! Our team has undergone the finest professional training available. No matter what we're dealing with, we'll have it sorted out in no time!

Ask about the situation.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Therese, we wanted to ask you something. But I just heard you mention "safety"... did something happen?

Ask who the man is.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Therese, (‍who is / who's‍) this? We overheard part of your conversation on the way over. (‍Is there a problem? / Is something going on?‍)

Therese: Huh? Why are you all here...? No need to worry. Everything's under control. We discovered some abnormal issues earlier, but I've already hired professionals to take care of them.

Therese: I'll leave it to you, Mr. Favco.

Lucy: Abnormal issues? Therese, that doesn't exactly sound like everything's under control...

Favco: Tsk... friends of the manager? No need to worry. I'm Favco, GM of Typhos Security, hired by the resort to fix the abnormal tidal conditions!

Sigrid: Typhos Security... an impressive-sounding name. However, you sound arrogant, and your overbearing attitude does not inspire trust. As Security Director, I will be watching you closely.

Favco: You...! You think you can just waltz in here with some made-up title and question my professionalism?!

(Analyze the problem)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): ((‍Interesting that he's questioning Sigrid's security expertise... Also, / ...Wow. He's actually questioning Sigrid's credentials in security? But...‍) abnormal tidal conditions? (‍Could that be / Is that‍) why the area Sigrid visited was closed off?)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): ((‍We don't have hard evidence yet, but if a long-stable body of water is suddenly behaving strangely... the nearby Hollow is the most likely explanation. / We don't have proof yet, but if these waters were stable for so long and suddenly started acting up... the nearby Hollow has to be involved somehow.‍))

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Mr. Favco, you don't (‍appear to specialize in Hollow operations. / exactly strike me as a Hollow specialist.‍) Are you (‍certain this anomaly won't pose a problem? / sure you've got this under control?‍)

Favco: (‍Hey kid, what's that supposed to mean? / Hey, what's that supposed to mean, young lady?‍) Wait... how do you know the Hollow's involved?
Ugh... I get it now. You're all trying to make me look bad, aren't you?

Favco: Do you even know what "professional" means? Take a look: business license, audit records, commission success rates... I've got the paperwork to prove it. Any more questions?

Sigrid: I understand your eagerness to demonstrate your qualifications. However, from a professional standpoint, none of the documents you have presented have any relevance to responding to or resolving Hollow-related incidents.

Lucy: You know, Manager? The way she speaks is growing on me.

Favco: ...

Therese: W-Wait, Manager. To be fair, Mr. Favco's team had already resolved part of the issue. The beach where we can gather crafting materials only reopened because of their work.

Therese: Before that, the beach near the Hollow was so unstable that people couldn't safely set foot there...

Lucy: ...Hmph. But if this is the only place we can gather materials, there's no way the shop will make enough to fund the bonfire party, right?

Favco: What's with the rush? You seem to know a thing or two about the Hollows yourself, so you should know these situations aren't solved overnight.
It takes time. What, you think I'd let your little party fall through on my watch?

Favco: Anyway, go do whatever it is you're supposed to be doing! If you know it's urgent, stop standing around arguing with me!

Lucy: (Whispers) If that was supposed to put me at ease, it didn't. Something about this still doesn't sit right with me...

I feel the same...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Whispers) (‍Yeah, I'm feeling the same way.Yeah, I'm feeling the same way.Text for Wise / Yeah... I'm getting that feeling too...Yeah... I'm getting that feeling too...Text for Belle‍)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Lucy, Sigrid, let's head back to the (‍shop. / shop for now!‍) More visitors are starting to come in, and if we (‍stay here any longer, we'll just be / keep hanging around here, we're just gonna get‍) in the way.

Sigrid: Hm? We're heading back already?

Lucy: (Whispers) It's called making an excuse to leave, you idiot!

Favco: Take care, everyone! I know you're still not sold on me, but if you've got any private commissions, my door's always open — no hard feelings!

Head somewhere quiet to talk things over

Favco's story has more than a few suspicious points, but causing a scene at the reception desk would disrupt the resort's normal operations. Find a quiet place with your companions and discuss it.

Fantasy Resort

(Idles): Favco: Don't let them pull one over on you.; Favco: Rumors can't shake our partnership!; Therese: ...

Sigrid: With all this noise and bustle... how am I supposed to find a quiet spot around here?

Lucy: Let's go, Manager.

Lucy: Let's find somewhere quiet.

(Approach the marked location)

(The trio chances upon a familiar face)

Lucy: So it's you...

Remielle: Well, look who we have here~

Talk to Remielle

Unexpectedly, you run into Remielle in a swimsuit. She also seems to know something important... Talk to Remie.

(Talk to Remielle)

Consensus

Special Event

"Consensus"

Story Description: Remielle, encountered by chance, comes clean to Lucy about stealing the W-Engine during the Hollow Champion competition. After (‍Wise / Belle‍) clears up the misunderstanding, a sudden downpour hits the resort, and the group reaches a consensus to venture into the Hollow together and see what is going on.

Remielle: Our dear model citizen just can't seem to stay idle, no matter where (‍he / she‍) goes...

Lucy: This girl... Why does she feel so annoyingly familiar...?

Remielle: Familiar, you say? Hmm. Surely someone isn't still upset about the prize I took at the Hollow Champion Competition~?

Lucy: You...! Ha... I knew there was a reason every alarm bell in my head started ringing the moment I saw your face! You pink-haired menace!

Remielle: Oh my. Am I really being barked at by a short-legged little golden retriever? Please, don't be so hostile toward an ordinary tourist, missy~ You wouldn't want the resort getting a nasty review from a seasoned guest, would you?

Lucy: ...What?! How dare you...

(Briefly explain for Remielle.)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Er, that was... mostly a misunderstanding. Remie had her reasons for taking that W-Engine. And she helped us out quite a bit while Belle and I were away on business. / Um... Remie had her reasons for taking that W-Engine back then. It was all a misunderstanding... While Wise and I were away handling some business, she actually helped us out quite a bit!‍)

Remielle: Thank you for clearing that up~

Remielle: Though I must say, "helped us out quite a bit" feels like an abbreviated version of events. But now doesn't seem like the right time to get into the details... Why don't we just leave it at that for now?

Sigrid: Indeed. As the current Security Director of the resort and the bonfire party, I am willing to vouch for Remielle. The two of you seem to share quite a bit of history... Perhaps meeting again today was fate.

Lucy: That's a fate I'd rather avoid! Whose side are you on, anyway, you human skyscraper?!

They probably count as...

...Friends through a shared hobby?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Sigrid and Remie are... two peas in an old-fashioned pod...^{[Note 2]}

Sigrid: That is correct.

Lucy: Well, if the Proxy says you're all right, I'm not gonna argue.

Lucy: But you'd better start acting like a proper "ordinary tourist"!

Remielle: *Sob*... This poor, helpless ordinary tourist is being threatened once again...

(Speak for Remielle.)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Remie clearly doesn't mean any harm, Lucy, there's no need to be so on guard. So, let's leave the past in the past, and give a polite welcome to our resort guest Miss Remielle, shall we? / Hm... Remie isn't trying to cause trouble, Lucy. Maybe ease up a little? Whatever happened before, right now she's resort guest Miss Remielle, and we should treat her like one!‍)

Lucy: ...Hmph! Considering what she just said, and with our newly appointed Security Director backing her... I guess I'll have to play the polite, welcoming member of the staff!

(Speak for Lucy.)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Sigh... Poor Lucy, encountering the mysterious Miss Remielle twice now. But since she claims to be an "ordinary tourist," I suppose / Aww... Poor Lucy, running into the mysterious pink-haired lady twice now. And since she's calling herself an ordinary tourist, I guess‍) we'll just have to let bygones be bygones...

Remielle: Is it just me, or does our dear (‍Mr. / Miss‍) Arbiter of Justice sound a little biased?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍...*Cough* Anyway, / ...Anyway!‍) Remie, Lucy... now's (‍probably / definitely‍) not the time (‍for bickering / to bicker‍).

The sky, clear just moments ago, suddenly darkens. A light drizzle begins to fall...
In just a few breaths, it turns into a heavy downpour.

Remielle: The rain has arrived... just as I expected.

Remielle: The source of this unusual weather... I'm sure our Hollow expert and Sigrid are both quite familiar with it.

Sigrid: ...Indeed. I believe I have observed a similar phenomenon before.

Inside the Hollow...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Remie, are you suggesting that this rain and the abnormal tides stem from the same source — namely, environmental changes within the Hollow? / Remie, so you're saying...^{[Note 3]} this rain and the abnormal tides share the same cause? They're both the result of changes inside the Hollow?‍)

Remielle: Merely a passing thought~ After all, the Hollow sits out at sea. Any Ether fluctuations it produces are naturally reflected more clearly in the surrounding waters.

Sigrid: I see. So there should not be any real dangerous anomalies in the Hollow yet. That security manager is most likely blowing things out of proportion.

Lucy: I just can't picture her helping someone out of the kindness of her heart... And where did she even learn all this stuff?

Lucy: Well, either way, we're not holding a bonfire party in this weather. Let's stabilize the Hollow ASAP — and while we're at it, figure out what that security company is cooking!

Sigrid: Cooking...?

Remielle: In that case... I'll come along as well. Consider it compensation for "ruining Miss Lucy's Hollow Champion Competition experience," and for "leaving Miss Lucy speechless with rage" earlier~

Remielle: After all, the Proxy has spoken. I'd better be on my best behavior~

Enter the Port Elpis Hollow to investigate

After pinpointing the Hollow as the source of the issue, join your companions and head into the Port Elpis Hollow to investigate.

Fantasy Resort

(Idles): Lucy: I don't need any compensation...; Sigrid: Lady Lucy, are you angry...?; Lucy: ...Let's focus on solving the problem first!; Sigrid: Sure!

Remielle: Rather than picking things up and selling them...

Remielle: (‍Mr. / Miss‍) Proxy is probably better at this kind of thing, right?

(Talk to Remielle): Remielle: Ready to head out? We're counting on you to locate the source of the problem, (‍Mr.Mr.Text for Wise / MissMissText for Belle‍) Proxy! The Hollow is more your turf than ours, after all~; Let's go. Enter the Hollow.; I still need to prepare.

Head to the data pile work area

The weather inside the Hollow has become abnormal. Following Fairy's guidance, head to the data pile work area and use it to gather more information.

Port Elpis Hollow

(Upon entering Port Elpis Hollow)

(Open [Character Intro] Remielle tutorial)

Fairy: Nearby data pile operation area detected.

Fairy: Master, you may now proceed to collect detailed Ether data.

Collect information from the data pile

Defeat incoming monsters and protect the data pile while it operates.

Port Elpis Hollow

(Approach the data pile): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Here we are!Here we are!Text for Wise / We're here!We're here!Text for Belle‍); (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I'll start up the data pile. (‍Stay sharp, everyone!Stay sharp, everyone!Text for Wise / Everyone, stay sharp!Everyone, stay sharp!Text for Belle‍); Lucy: Relax, Proxy. No Ethereal's getting anywhere near this place.

(Enter combat): Fairy: Data pile operation initiated. Please remain vigilant.; Lucy: More Ethereals!; Sigrid: Everyone, let us make this quick!; Remielle: Well now... Miss Lucy's even more impressive than I thought~; Lucy: I'll take the compliment. Now keep that data pile secure.; Remielle: I've got this~; Fairy: Data collection is nearly complete.; Lucy: We've pretty much cleared out all the Ethereals around here.; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Huh, that was easier than I expected...Huh, that was easier than I expected...Text for Wise / That went more smoothly than I expected...That went more smoothly than I expected...Text for Belle‍)

(After completing data collection and defeating all enemies): Fairy: Analysis complete. Conclusion: routine cyclical Ether fluctuations.; Fairy: All relevant indicators have now returned to normal ranges.

Lucy: Based on both our observations and the available data, there doesn't appear to be any serious anomaly... Otherwise, simply clearing out a certain number of Ethereals wouldn't have been enough to bring the fluctuation level back to its normal range.

Remielle: That's true~ So does that mean... we can head back home now?

Wait a sec.

That thing over there...

Lucy: You noticed it too, Proxy? There's a motionless tactical mech up ahead. It looks a lot like... a security unit. Let's go take a look! We might find some clues that point us in the right direction.

Sigrid: Let's head there now!

You head over with everyone to the disabled tactical mech.

Lucy: That's definitely the Typhos Security corporate logo! And there's no sign of any combat nearby. Looks like it just entered the Hollow and broke down before even encountering any enemies. Really?

Sigrid: The craftsmanship on this mech... is really rough.

Remielle: Looks like the person you were suspicious of did make a move... but that mech was a total pushover. Even sending it into the Hollow didn't really lead to anything.

The evidence is conclusive.

Favco shouldn't have anything left to say.

Lucy: Ugh... I really don't know what to say about that guy. Is it that hard to just admit you messed up?

Remielle: Looks like there's only one thing left~ Before we get to it... Miss Lucy, could you give me your honest opinion of how I did? It's important to me to ease any doubts you may still have about me.

Lucy: ...Huh? You... look, you didn't exactly save the day, but... you did help out, so... that's that!

Remielle: You're not a very straightforward young lady, are you? Looks like I'll have to try even harder and "put on a better show" if I want to earn your praise~

Lucy: Good. As long as you know... Ahem. Anyway, Proxy, I'll leave the technical side of things to you.

After removing the combat mech's storage unit, you leave the Hollow with your companions...
Once you're back at the hotel, have (‍BelleBelleText for Wise / WiseWiseText for Belle‍) analyze it.

(Night falls as the group returns to the resort): Lucy: Sea materials too...? Looks like they're popping up everywhere.; Sigrid: Can you now pick up sea materials that were previously only available through beachcombing?; Looks like the problem in the Hollow...; It has been resolved.; Remielle: I bet plenty of sea materials have turned up around the resort too. You might find some interesting things if you look around~; Lucy: I suppose it adds a little extra fun for the visitors... Anyway, Proxy, if you spot any sea materials on the beach, just pick them up. You never know when it might come in handy for running the resort!; Lucy: Still, picking things up on the beach is just a nice little bonus. There's no way it'll cover the materials needed to make souvenirs!; Beach Treasure Hunting is now available!; Hopefully, we'll find something nice.; Remielle: That's right, but now isn't really the best time for treasure hunting... Let's wait until daytime!; After spending some more time exploring the beach with your companions, you suddenly spot what looks like two figures in the distance, near the still-closed beachcombing area... Could they be Therese and Ege?

Talk to Therese and the other one

After returning to the resort, you see Therese and Ege busy on the beach. Ask what they're doing.

Fantasy Resort

(Idles): Remielle: Looks like it's cleared up outside~; Sigrid: Hmm... What a shame. The fading light makes it hard to appreciate the clear sky.; Lucy: Then let's come back tomorrow morning and enjoy the view!

Therese: Huh... Manager?

Therese: It's this late... and you guys are...

(Talk to Therese)

Situation Briefing

Special Event

"Situation Briefing"

Story Description: Back at the resort, you run into Therese, who has come to check on things after the sea calmed down. After a quick rundown of the situation, Therese makes the call on the spot — come dawn, she will terminate the contract with Typhos Security.

Therese: Manager? What are you doing here so late...? Did you come because the tides suddenly calmed down too?

To be honest...

We just got back from the Hollow.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I'll be honest... we actually just got back from Port Elpis Hollow. (‍As expected / Sure enough‍), once the Ether fluctuations died down, all the resort's problems cleared up too.

Therese: Huh?! You mean... you already solved that whole crisis in such a short amount of time?!

Lucy: There was no crisis! You all just got fooled by that Favco guy.

Together with Lucy, you explain everything that happened to Therese and the other resort employee.

Therese: So... Mr. Favco lied to us?

Lucy: I don't know if he lied... Sure, the guy's got a bad temper, a sharp tongue, and an ego the size of a Hollow, but he did get some work done before we showed up.

Sigrid: His abilities were simply inadequate, which complicated matters further.

Therese: I see... So we misjudged him. I'm sorry... Even after all these years, I still make mistakes like this.

It's okay.

You just choose to trust others.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): It's okay, Therese! In a peaceful world, being willing to trust others is a much more valuable quality than suspecting people for no reason.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): And when it comes to uncovering suspicious schemes, leave that to your more (‍"calculating" / "cunning"‍) friends — like (‍us. / us!‍)

Lucy: Look on the bright side. At least that ragtag crew didn't make things worse. When Hollows are involved, simply staying out of the way is already a huge help.

Therese: Thank you, everyone...

Ege: Uh... Miss Therese, shouldn't we suggest canceling the partnership? No matter how you look at it, they didn't fulfill their part of the contract...

Therese: Hm, at the very least we can't trouble the manager and the others any further! Once we get back, we'll prepare the negotiation materials and go to Mr. Favco first thing tomorrow morning to propose ending the contract.

Ege: Aye aye, captain!

Lucy: Not so fast. The manager still has a memory card pulled from that security unit. There's a good chance it contains some useful information. Once we figure out what's on it, they won't have much left to say for themselves.

That's right.

This is crucial evidence.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Exactly! This is crucial evidence!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Once (‍Belle / Wise‍) and our AI assistant finish going through the memory card's data, whatever that security company is hiding won't stay hidden for long.

Therese: I understand... You've really thought of everything, Manager. I—I'll hurry to clear a new beachcombing area too! At least I can help get the shop ready!

Sigrid: You have my sincere thanks. It is truly an honor to receive such wholehearted support from everyone at the resort.

Therese: You... you really don't need to be so formal! This is just what we're supposed to do.

Sigrid: Those are two separate matters.

Lucy: Stop it! If you two keep complimenting each other like this, we'll be here all night.

Therese: ...All right. Everyone, let's all get some rest!

Therese: (Whispers) By the way, Manager... I've been wondering since earlier. That pink-haired lady over there — do you know her?

Just a helpful tourist who happened to be passing by.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Oh, her? She's / Ah, well... she's‍) just a kind tourist who happened to (‍pass / stop‍) by and lend (‍us a hand. / a hand!‍)

Therese: I see... Then perhaps I should go thank her...?

A friend who came to help.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍She's a friend of mine. As soon as she heard we were having trouble, she came over to help. / She's a friend of mine! When she heard we were in trouble, she came all the way over to help!‍)

Therese: I see! If she's a friend of yours... Then she must be very reliable too!

Therese: Uh... sorry, Manager! Didn't mean to ask something unnecessary!

Therese: It's already pretty late, Manager. You should head home and get some rest!

Therese: We'll try to clear out the new beachcombing area tonight—then tomorrow's sales will definitely hit a new record!

Good job, Therese.

Therese, make sure you get some rest too.

Therese: No worries, it's all part of the job.

Therese: Alright, we'll head out now. We'll try to wrap things up early... See you tomorrow, Manager!

You say your goodbyes to Therese and watch her head off down the beach with another staff member...

Talk to Remielle

Remie didn't leave the beach with everyone else. Go talk to her.

Fantasy Resort

(Ongoing): Remielle: (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍), got a sec? Come over here.

(Idle, by the stage): Favco: The rain's finally stopped!; Favco: We'll go see Therese tomorrow to collect the final payment!

(Idle): Remielle: (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍), could you wait a moment?

(Talk to Remielle)

Promised Souvenir

Special Event

"Promised Souvenir"

Story Description: Before leaving, Remie asks for a special souvenir, and (‍Wise / Belle‍) promises she will have it.

Remielle: So, (‍Mr. / Miss‍) Sharp-and-Savvy, with your talent for reading people, can you guess why I wanted to talk to you alone?

To tell me why you came to the resort.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Do you want to tell me the real reason you came to the (‍resort / Resort‍)?

Remielle: Oh my... still suspecting I have some secret agenda? How disappointing. An ordinary tourist comes to a resort for exactly one reason: a vacation, of course~

You need my help with something.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Let me guess... you want me (‍to do / to help with‍) something? Before we entered the Hollow, you said you were helping out of kindness... are you asking for something in return (‍already‍)?

Remielle: "Something in return" sounds rather cold, don't you think...

Are you looking for a late-night snack?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Hm... (‍Maybe you / do you‍) want a late-night snack? (‍It is / It's‍) the perfect time for some barbecue!

Remielle: Wow... what a tempting suggestion... but not right now~

Remielle: All right, enough with the guessing game. Those things you and Sigrid were selling... they looked quite interesting.

Remielle: So... would our talented manager be willing to make a special souvenir for me? I don't need anything extravagant. It just has to be... different from everyone else's.

So you just wanted a souvenir?

Now that sounds like something an ordinary tourist would say.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): What, so all you wanted was a resort souvenir? That actually sounds like a pretty ordinary tourist thing to ask for. Let me check today's stock...

Remielle: Huh? What I want isn't something the average tourist could buy—

You can't help but smile watching Remielle get slightly flustered.

Remielle: ...Huh? Manager, did you say that just to tease me?! You... you're starting to feel like a completely different person!

I can't let you have all the fun teasing me forever, Remie.

You gotta let me step up my game too.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Lately it feels like we've faced one mess after another, and somehow, you always seem to know exactly what's going on. You also always end up teasing me. Can't blame me for stepping up my game, right? / Lately, it feels like one complicated mess after another keeps popping up. And somehow, you always seem to know exactly what's going on, Remie. Meanwhile, I always end up getting teased by you. But hey... you gotta let me step up my game too, right?‍)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Even now, you seem to know the resort's problems inside and out / Besides, you knew all about the Resort's issues‍) — the beach (‍closure / closures‍), the Ether fluctuations in the Hollow... Did you get here (‍long before we arrived? / way before us?‍)

Remielle: Only a little earlier than you did... I merely made some careful observations out of personal curiosity...

Remielle: It seems like you're finally starting to push back against our usual dynamic... Hmph, let's leave that discussion for another time. If you don't go get some sleep soon, the sun will be up before you know it~

(If Summer Waves Roll In (II) is unavailable)^{[Note 4]}

Walking back alongside Remie, you part ways at the souvenir shop and return to the hotel for a comfortable rest... The pleasant dream fades away, giving way to another leisurely day.
(The player appears in front of the souvenir shop)

Walking back alongside Remie, you part ways at the souvenir shop and return to the hotel for a comfortable rest... By the time you open your eyes again, it's already time to take on the next task.
