*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' ''-''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''The Land of Steel...?''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Your... Majesty?''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Ah, my apologies. I was so startled that you wished to go to the Land of Steel that I reacted adversely...''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Haha, you seem fairly unaware of current events. It will serve you well to be more informed.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Haha... Is that so...?''
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''(Strange. She was so cooperative up until now.)''
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''(I don’t think we asked anything particularly rude...)''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''Do you know what's more important to adventurers than knowledge?''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Hm... Why don't you enlighten me?''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''It's instinct. When you're wandering around, there's nothing more important than instinctively knowing where you need to go to get what you want.''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''A competent hunter knows where to find useful information, similar to finding the target by observing a rabbit's den.''
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''... You may think we're asking something too obvious. It's true, there's not much that we know.''
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''But we can show you the results as long as we have enough information. ... If you're worried about your request.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''(Wow! I didn't know we had such an amazing skill! It's truly eye-opening!)''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''(As if. You can't be more inefficient than we are even if you tried.)''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''(She became more closed off once the Land of Steel was mentioned. Is it related to the request?)''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''(It may be hasty, but we better get to the point.)''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''I find it curious though. Why do you want to head to the Land of Steel? You don't even know what it's like there.''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Do you have a reason you must go? If I may ask.''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''I'm sorry, you seem bothered that the Land of Steel is our goal. Is the reason related to the task you wished to entrust us with?''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''If our goals align, it might be better to discuss truthfully and look for a solution instead of wasting time beating around the bush.''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''... You're right, my apologies. You are my guests and I have treated you unfairly.''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''But I must ask this. Are you headed to the Land of Steel to seek treasure?''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Treasure? Ah... No. This is the first time we're hearing about it.''
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''We can reveal all the details, but our goal is to return the Land of Steel back to how it was.''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Return it? The Land of Steel?!''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Ha... Hahaha... That's preposterous. However, you have managed to do the unthinkable already... I see.''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Pardon my manners. However, I needed to know if you were the kind to seek gold from the Land of Steel.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''Why does it matter?''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Because I too, wish for peace to return to the Land of Steel. But what good is peace for money-hungry scavengers?''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''The rumors will make the Land of Steel become the center of chaos and dispute... Which is of no use for me.''
*{{StoryIcon|Min}} '''Rose:''' ''Your Majesty. You referred to the Land of Steel as the Land of Demise.  And what do you mean by gold?''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Huhuhu... Gold and death are two sides of a same coin.''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''As one might risk being pricked by thorns to pick a beautiful flower, the mere presence of danger seems to stir up imagination of potential for some people.''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''But I am certain. That place is the Land of Demise. If it's not immediately resolved, it will be disastrous for us all.''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''It's lamentable. The gold is blinding everyone... It will be too late for them to realize the severity of the situation once they arrive at the chilling northern land of wraiths.''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Did you want us to get rid of the cause of the Contamination?''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Yes. I will be grateful if you accept my request.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''... Then tell me about this Contamination that you sensed.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''As the lord of the land, I demand every single detail you have on this situation.''
----
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Lord? Did you say lord?''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Yes.''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Then, you are the Steel Queen...?''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Aha... I see! Oh my, Lord of Steel, how did you end up this way?''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''I would rather not disclose how, at this moment.''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''Of course. I shall not probe any further. But my, what coincidence...''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''But why wouldn't you reveal your identity from the start? If I had known you're accompanied by Lord of Steel, I would not have bothered with the trifling assignment. Were you trying to make me out to be a fool?''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''My apologies, we did not intend to deceive. There are things we wish to gain as well, so let's consider your request a part of a trade.''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''A trade? Ha, ha... Oh...''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''At long last, for an opportunity like this to come knock at my door... I suppose the gods did not completely forsaken me.''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''I have changed my mind. I will tell you everything I know.''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''(It seems the conversation will go on longer than expected, and yet still, there's no tea. There's even a teapot on the table.)''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''(It's probably because she has no servants that she cannot serve tea. Then maybe I should do something.)''
*''(CLANK CLANK)''
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''(What are you doing?)''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''(Ah, I was going to brew some tea. We're in the presence of three queens. It will be a shame if there's no tea.)''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''Ugh!?''
*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''... Are you sure that the Contamination has spread to the Red Demon Territory?''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Wait, what contamination are you talking about? We've never heard about anything like that.''
*{{StoryIcon|Chv}} '''Ciel:''' ''... They're probably talking about this.''
*''(DRIP... DRIP, DRIP.)''
*{{StoryIcon|Lib}} '''Noah:''' ''Ugh... What is that?''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''It's waste filtered from the water.''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''Why would you filter something like this? I mean what kind of water did you filter? The water flowing over there looks clean.''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''It's filtered from that exact water. Contamination exists in every corner...''
*{{StoryIcon|Medovine}} '''Medovine:''' ''If you want to know about the Contamination, I'll show you. Let me present to you my disfigured form...''
