The two can't seem to settle after the depressing news.
Quest Completion Dialogue
Rose and Zero decided to push forward despite the unfortunate situation and headed to Bethma Village.
With Rose still feeling down even with the village in sight, Zero tried to console her.
Zero:Don't worry about it, Rose. This could be a temporary problem.
Zero:I'll tell you the moment the communication goes through and share you everything, including news on the Princess, so cheer up.
Rose:Sigh.... I understand. Nothing will come of being worried all the time. I will do my best.
Zero:Yeah, you can't stay down. It's only the beginning! Hey, that person over there seems to know something, come on!
Rose:Hello. Are you a resident of Bethma? If it's not too much, may I ask you about the missing lord of Elder?
Stella:An adventurer? I'm Stella, sheriff of Bethma.
Stella:Wally left a long time ago. He ran away after the El Search Party defeated him. In fact, I would love to know his location. He needs to pay the price for stealing from the mines.
Rose:The El Search Party? Could the leader be a boy named Elsword per chance?
Stella:I don't know who the leader is, but he's the one who likes to take charge.
Rose:Him again... I thought his goal was to find the El. Do you think he's on another mission?
Zero:Hm. He could be the center of everything we're investigating. Maybe even the origin of the great disaster.
Rose:Nothing's certain for now. Stella, are you close to the El Search Party? We're here to meet with them.
Stella:I'm not close to them or anything, but they helped us out when we were in a pinch. They resolved our conflict with the Lizardman.
Rose:It didn't have anything to do with the El? What happened?
Stella:When did it all begin... Things were tense around here since the Lizardman attacked us. There were concerns that our alliance was at stake, and that it might evolve into an all-out war.
Stella:But someone was behind the attack all along. A Lizardman shaman named Kayak was using necromancy to control the Lizardman tribe.
Rose:N, necromancy?! That's serious. Then did the El Search Party defeat that necromancer?
Stella:Yes. For now.
Zero:For now?
Stella:Yes. He ran away, thanks to his avid followers attacking.
Stella:I'm sure you noticed on your way here, but Bethma Gorge is basically a nature-made escape route. You can't find anyone who hides there. But at least we know he won't be able to do much. Everyone he encounters in Bethma will be his enemy.
Rose:It would have been nice if the source of the conflict was completely taken out of the picture, but at least the village is peaceful again. What happened to the El Search Party afterwards?
Stella:They got on an airship to chase Wally. It was quite a sight. If you want to know where they went, you should ask Toma.
Rose:I see. Thank you.
Stella:They also visited this village recently. Something happened in Feita and they requested reinforcement, but we were too busy because of Kayak's followers.
Rose:Recently? We might be able to see them if we hurry. What do you want to do, Rose?
Rose was about to answer to the easy question, but hesitated from Zero's words.
She came to this unfamiliar world to find the cause for the strange phenomena happening in Heaven. And she followed the people heavily related to the stealing of the El, that they suspect may be the star of the phenomena.
So this is a question if she'd rather take the long route, or find a shortcut. Of course we have to follow the shortcut. Right now, with connection to Heaven severed, the most important thing is to finish the mission quickly and go back.
Rose:Feita...
But the Princess ordered her to investigate the great disaster. The wish to complete the mission quickly and return is purely Rose's own desire.
Rose:... If the El Search Party is deeply involved in these incidents as we suspect, we cannot miss them.
Rose:But, conversely, if they truly are important, they won't be easy to miss.
Rose:We need to learn more about this world.
Rose finally made a decision after much thought.
Rose:One more question. Where can we meet this... Toma?
