Behind Sherlur, who seems to be overcome with emotion, other members of the Kagero Agency are buzzing around for some reason. Some of them are looking at the special food in my hand with a subtle expression on their faces, as if they had just eaten something sour.

"All of Harbor Fulton! Our companion Rust, and our priest Knight Taura, are now departing. We all know of Rust's exceptional abilities. Nevertheless, the task that awaits them will be a very difficult one. They will have to retake the royal city from the evil demon tribe that illegally occupies the city and manipulates its people. But we must all be of one mind. Let us pray together for their safety! To the brave men and women setting out on their journey, I salute you!"
