[musicboxsoldier]

The population has greatly increased again.

[...] At least there are three cities to hold everyone this time. [Although, Spero will need more patrol hours now.]

[guuruguuru]

Do you mean there aren't normally this many people?

[musicboxsoldier]

No, the population is usually around one hundred people.

[guuruguuru]

T-That small? That's not a lot of people...

[musicboxsoldier]

Yes, and there are two other cities here as well.

[...] I'm Commander Kresnik Ahtreide.

[guuruguuru]

So is this place... is, um, really out of the way, huh?

I'm Rorolina Frixell, one of the... I'm one of the only three alchemists in Arland!

[While it makes her sound important... Rorona is far from great.]

[musicboxsoldier]

Generally, yes.

[...] An alchemist? I've known one before.

[guuruguuru]

E-Ehhhh!? Really? Was it Master!? You should have told her to come home and bring Hom back!

[musicboxsoldier]

Her name was Anna. [He doesn't recall Anna telling him about having an apprentice.]

[guuruguuru]

I don't know anyone by that name. Master must be hiding somewhere else, then.

[musicboxsoldier]

Hm.

What type of alchemy do you specialize in?

1/2

[guuruguuru]

I can make all sorts of things!

[guuruguuru]

But I really like to make pies!

[musicboxsoldier]

...Pies?

[guuruguuru]

Yeah! I can make pies from almost anything, ehehe...

[musicboxsoldier]

[He wonders the usefulness of that, but well, people won't go hungry at least.]

Ah... you don't have to worry about going hungry.
