Episode 3, Chapter 7: Fairy Queen Titania

Haha! Welcome, strangers!

Wait. I know that voice... It's Queen Titania!

I can't see anybody. Where is she?

She's hidden. Miss Titania doesn't reveal herself to us.

Ahem, how rude. I am the Fairy Queen!

Oh, the queen of having free time. Obviously here to play some tricks on us.

Ugh! A queen does not PLAY. I am here to test you.

What did I say?

Hmph. To get to Sylvarium, you must correctly answer my questions three.

If you answer incorrectly, I'll teleport you to the deepest, darkest dungeon! You've been warned!

First question! Is my name Titinia?

Wrong! My name is Titania! Don't forget it again!

Second question! Does the spirit of light like black flowers?

Wrong! Light is attracted to darkness!

Final question! Are there a total of five cats in this area?

Wrong! You should be more observant!

Wow! I can't believe you got that right! Pretty good!

That's all the questions for today! Thanks for taking the time to play!

In return, I'll give you a little gift.

Huh? I suddenly feel warm...

Really? I don't feel anything.

That's the entrance to Sylvarium. Whew, we're finally here.

I'll head off first, then. Thanks, guys!

We need to declare our reason for visiting over there.

Umm... Do you need to say what kind of errand you're running?

Of course.

Hmm... But it's a secret...

Is my shift over yet?

Hello. Are you friends of Daisy and Pansy?

Which one of them do you like more?

...Excuse me?

Just whisper it to me... Or, what do you think about me?

Hey! You're two hundred years old AND a parent! Have you no shame?!

Come on. I was just joking! Fine, what's the reason for your visit?

Oh wow! It's been a long time since I've heard such a grand purpose.

I'll give you visitor passes. Two people and one cat, right?

What? Two people?

Rin is gone!

Oh, did she run away?

Whatever. The old ladies here are always interested in strangers.

An outsider running around without a pass will be caught soon enough.

Pansy! Who are you calling old?!

You would all be considered ancient outside...

Gosh! Barely eighty years old and you've already got something to say about everything! Get inside!

Huh? What's that line...?

Yay! The traveling merchant must be here!

We should get in line too once we finish our business.

Can we go inside?

It's been a while since we've had visitors, but I'm not sure if the queen is in.

She was worried about Avardan before. If she's not here, she's at Spirit Spring.

Thank you!

Your Majesty? Hmm... She's not here...

She must be at Spirit Spring, then. This spring connects directly to there!

The Fairy Queen hooked it up. She's useful like that!

Nobody's told me not to use it, so... let's go to Spirit Spring!

Your Majesty!

Thanks to you, I was able to focus on treating Avardan. Daisy, Pansy? Who are these two...?

People from the guild. They want to know about the Wound of the World.

You must be investigating the power of the Void.

Apologies, but could you wait one moment?

If Avardan is corrupted, then there will no longer be a greater spirit to purify this land.

So then what can we do to help you?

Only the queen of the elves may commune with Avardan... But he'll make a fast recovery once I have had time to treat him.

In the meantime, please make yourselves comfortable at Sylvarium.

Daisy, Pansy, would you please escort our visitors back to the village?

Of course, Your Majesty!

You're just instantly obedient, huh... *Sigh...* Alright.

Thank you, Pansy... Please look after our visitors and Daisy.

Let's go stand in the line now!

You can't just get in a line without knowing what it's for!

I'll just ask the person in front of us!

I hope they don't sell out...

Hi, what's this line for?

This traveling merchant is selling Divine Purification Water!

You know how there's been some kind of contamination spreading in Arcana Forest?

Well, this water is supposed to wash it away. I'm planning on buying a case to be safe.

Really?! Then I should get one for my dad, too!

No, you shouldn't! Use that money to buy some good food! Let's go!

Aww...

Gather round! We're facing a dire threat!

The slightest contamination, and your skin will burst!

Ewww!

Ohhhh!

Aaaah!

You'll break out in zits!

Not zits!

Not zits!

Not zits!

Get a bottle of Divine Purification Water to protect your beauty for just...

One thousand gold!

Supplies are limited, so act now!

One thousand gold?! Is it really that special?

Oh, seriously Daisy?

Aggh! Get back here!

Aw...

Is that... Mom?

Mom?!

Mom?!

Oh my, Pansy! How long has it been?

Mom! How many times do I have to tell you not to buy garbage like this!

You haven't heard. The creatures living in Arcana Forest have turned absolutely vicious. Contamination.

See that? Elven financial responsibility disappeared to a faraway place along with their sense of time.

This is exactly why I... *Sigh,* forget it.

Fine. I won't buy this one. Don't be upset with me, okay?

This one?

You bought something else, didn't you?

Before you judge me... I've never seen a seed like this in my entire life!

...Seed?

Mmhmm. It's purple. I planted it outside the house. Wanna see?

Augh!!! You can't be serious!!!

Ohh... Where are you going? Mommy wants to come too! Hmm.

Oh gosh... no...

I knew it.

Mom, do you remember the merchant who sold this to you? What did they look like?

Of course, I remember. Um... He was a tall and good-looking fellow.

What's wrong?

There's no time to explain... These are very dangerous. We need to retrieve all these seeds.

Mom and I will track them all down. You guys go notify the queen.

Let's hurry. The village... no, the entire forest is in danger.

Huh? The color of the water looks weird...

Nothing to report!

The spring... isn't working!

It's been corrupted. Something must've gone wrong on the queen's side...

Then let's go on foot! Hurry!

I know the way!
