The Captain seems preoccupied today. I hope everything's okay?
That's Nebu!
In Nebu every second person you meet is a member of Rasparta! Of course she's worried.
Aren't you exaggerating?
Of course, there aren't that many OFFICIAL members.
But there are many others who serve Rasparta in an unofficial capacity.

They can't all be attending the Gift of Waters, can they?
Perhaps they are under cover.
Reviving festivals that date from before the Calamity are one aspect of rebuilding civilization.
Nebu is testing the waters. No doubt Eastrise and the Empire will send people to observe.
Aren't Nebu, Eastrise and the Empire rivals?
That's why I said, under cover.

Finally, they're bringing the Gift of Waters back.
Yeah, the old folks back home used to talk about it sometimes. Gift of Waters is a time to give gifts and stuff.
Give gifts? Oh yeah. I'd almost forgotten.
M-Majesty!
Am I so intimidating?
No, I mean Yes, ah... I...
Don't be so nervous. What were you talking about just now?
Your Majesty, we were discussing the giving of presents during Gift of Waters!
Oh, that.
...Majesty, did you really revive Gift of Waters so you could give Bastet... ouch!
What are you saying? That's none of your business!
You're the one who started talking about giving presents!
Enough already.
Farewell, Your Majesty!

7 linesThe first thing we need to do is contact our informant.
Huh? Aren't we choosing presents?
Choosing presents? Why do you say that?
Didn't you guys do your homework? If we want to fit in, we need to follow through as the locals do.
I went through and memorized all the records on Gift of Waters.
Eriri's right. We should follow all customs relating to the Gift of Waters.
Let's keep moving and look for an opportunity to contact the informant.
