1. The Void Beckons, before the fight
36 linesYou follow Sanga to a house and see a familiar figure. Clearly, you come across an old friend again.
Welcome... look who has come to see me.
Daffodil smiles elegantly, looking at you.
What's wrong? Something wrong with the new body, Keeper?
Keeper? I've never heard that title before...
I'm becoming more and more curious. "Rich" materials like you are rare.
...
Daffodil, there's nothing wrong with my body. I just want to know, where is Aurita now?
Hmm... that's a lot simpler than your last strange request.
But, Keeper, you know the rules. I've already given you a free "gift" once.
Of course. "Fair price, honest dealings."
Yes. So the "price" this time is simple. I only need...
In the haze of the Spirit, you see the terror surging behind Daffodil.
...Didn't you say the "price" would be simple?
The "price" is simple, just the heads of a few sea monsters.
But can you afford the "cost" behind the deal?
Cost?
You think of the broken ivory statue that Sanga showed, which clearly involves evil rituals...
An organization has sacrificed Celephais for evil purposes, and you do not know who they are, nor even how many of them there are, you know nothing.
Daffodil, can you tell me about them...?
Daffodil interrupts you, narrowing her eyes, seemingly dangerous.
No, I cannot.
But... out of concern for a friend, I can offer some advice: stay away from this place.
...
Sorry. I won't leave until I find Aurita.
I knew it. The Keeper of Mythag can't be so easily turned away.
Daffodil sighs, her figure gradually fading out.
Then let's complete this transaction.
Once you've completed the head hunt, you'll know everything.
When you regain your senses, the figure of Daffodil has already vanished.
Did crossing dimensions just vanish? Hmph.
Pale Messenger, what must we do now to uncover the truth and purify this place?
...
Looking at everyone's gaze, you also feel somewhat confused, but still speak out Daffodil's conditions.
I need... the head of a sea monster. She said once the hunt is complete, I'll know everything.
A typical riddle. But finally, I can gather enough materials.
