"Hmm, there is definitely Phantom Mist where the ice cracks are, Tayshet is right, maybe there is some connection between them." |
Fayette |
"It seems like there's really a lot of of small cracks. I don't see many Monsters near the big crevasses and potholes that have existed there for ages. Something smells fishy." |
Tayshet |
"Hey, found something weird. There's something in the ice." |
Fayette |
"Hold it, I'll check it out. Don't touch it yet." |
Tayshet |
"It's okay. It's still untouched." |
Fayette |
"Right... there doesn't seem to be any dangerous magical reactions. Let's scrape the ice around it and remove it carefully." |
Volgo |
"Brilliant stuff. You're not only good with guns and blades, but also with magic." |
Fayette |
"That's because I'm an Out-Sider. I have to be able to do everything on my own or I'd be dead long ago. Especially the knowledge to handle hazardous materials. The worst thing you can do on the front line is to drop the ball on these mysterious things." |
Volgo |
"I envy your ability to deal with a wide range of situations, I think I have a lot to learn from you, Fayette." |
Fayette |
"Hark who's talking? Didn't you single-handedly defended the entire northern wall of Loren Citadel when you were a recruit? I'd rather you teach me instead. How did you manage to annihilate a whole swarm of buggers on the north wall with just your sniping skills?" |
Tayshet |
"'The Death God of Loren Citadel'. There's no one in the Eisengrad Northern Army who doesn't knows the name." |
Volgo |
"I'm only a mere clerk called the Death God. I wish they'd given me a cuter nickname." |
Fayette |
"Cuter, like what?" |
Volgo |
"Hmm, like..." |
Volgo |
"'The Snow Fairy', for example?" |
Fayette |
"Fairy..." |
Tayshet |
"Tayshet likes this. Thinks it's cute." |
Fayette |
"I'd hate to say it, but you're surprisingly girlie." |
Volgo |
"I don't deny it. But please don't tell my men in the sniper squad, just in case." |
Fayette |
"I like the fact that you're saying that with a straight face. That's really cool." |
Fayette |
"...Anyway, I think it's time to get them cool loot out of here, heave-ho!" |
Paddington |
"Is this... a doll?" |
Conductor |
What Fayette retrieved from the ice appeared to be a glasswork doll. It is small enough to fit in the palm of her hand, but very elaborately made. |
Volgo |
"This is more of a sculpture than a doll. It looks like it's modelled after a knight from long ago, but the fact that it's on the lake means that someone must have dropped it recently?" |
Fayette |
"The lake surface between Sector Ten to Sector Seven melts into water at certain times of the year. If someone drops a statue made of glass on the water, it will sink, and if's dropped it on the ice, it's gonna crack or chip." |
Fayette |
"Yet... this thing here is totally intact. It's as shiny as it is polished, see?" |
Tayshet |
"This is not glass." |
Volgo |
"If it's not glass, what is it?" |
Tayshet |
"Likely this is ice." |
Volgo |
"Ice? You're saying there was an ice sculpture buried in the ice?" |
Fayette |
"But on second glance, it is indeed ice. The texture is exactly like ice itself. And it's very cold..." |
Tayshet |
"Ice should melt. But this ice doesn't seem to melt even if it's heated up." |
Volgo |
"How strange. It might have something to do with said prowlers." |
Fayette |
"This cool ice sculpture is likely a treasure from a long time ago, would it be worth a lot of money when we sell it?" |
Volgo |
"Hmm, maybe the bandits in the centre have extended their activities to the outside to unearth these ice statues. It also makes sense that the prowlers only appear at night." |
Tayshet |
"There may be more down there. Let's keep an eye on our feet as we move." |
