Gran and the crew arrive on the Lumacie Archipelago in pursuit of the Black Knight. Lyria's powers offer a clue to the location of both the Black Knight and her mysterious companion.

In pursuit of the Black Knight, the crew arrives on the Lumacie Archipelago.

So? Is there supposed to be something here?

Lyria

Wow... These trees are huge! Maybe even bigger than an airship...

There's nothing but trees! We're in the middle of nowhere!

Katalina

Settle down, Io. A young lady maintains her composure!

I mean, what's the Black Knight's deal anyway? Talking in riddles all the time!

Rackam

Can't say I don't share the feeling, Io...

Rackam

Just what is she trying to trick us into doing over here?

Eugen

The best way to find out is to ask the woman herself.

Vyrn

So how do we find her? We haven't got a clue to go on.

Lyria

Oh! I think I might know, actually!

Lyria

My part of Leviathan's power is resonating with the part inside that young girl... She's deep within the forest.

Katalina

So if we find the girl, we'll find the Black Knight...

Vyrn

All right, we've got our bearings! Let's move, Gran!

Gran and the crew move through the overgrown forest. Katalina claims to know little of Lumacie, but mentions the legend of a scarlet demon who lives there.

Katalina

Ugh... This forest certainly seems to have a lot of insects...

Eugen

What'd you expect? This area is practically untamed.

Rackam

The whole archipelago is basically the great wild, and it's no travel destination for sure. I'd barely heard of this place before we came.

Rackam

How about you, Katalina? Hear anything about this place when you were with the empire?

Katalina

Eek! What was that? A bug?

Katalina

Get back here! You'll be a stain on my sword when I'm through!

Rackam

Calm down! It's just a little critter. Now what do you know about Lumacie?

Katalina

Oh! Well... nothing really. I've only heard the name here and there.

Katalina

But they say Lumacie has been forgotten by the world. And supposedly... a scarlet demon calls the islands home.

Rackam

Hold on a second! Have we been roped into a demon exorcism gig?

Humph... Not much different from what we've been doing!

Come on! There are monsters in this forest here we can practice on. Be sure to get them all!

A mysterious woman named Rosetta appears before Gran and the crew. Though her intent is unknown, they allow her to accompany them since they share the same destination.

A mysterious woman appears, catching Gran and the crew completely off guard.

???

Why hello! Do you have a moment?

Vyrn

Whoa! Who are you? And where did you come from?

???

No need to be frightened! I'm just a defenseless forest maiden, as you can plainly see.

Eugen

For being defenseless, you've done a good job staying alive in a forest full of flesh-eating monsters!

???

Oh, you are deliciously sharp! I think I like you already...

Eugen

Hate to break it to ya, but I'm a little too old for your sweet talk.

???

Ah, what a shame... But that makes you all the more appealing! Why, I could just gobble you right up...

Lyria

What should we do, Gran? Eugen's going to be eaten!

Rosetta

My name is Rosetta, and I'm here on a teensy-tiny errand of sorts.

Rosetta

But this forest is quite dangerous, you see. I was hoping it might be possible to place myself in your care...

Katalina

As much as we'd love to play bodyguard, we're in quite the hurry. I'm afraid we don't have time for detours.

Rosetta

No need to worry. We have the same destination after all.

Vyrn

Say what? How could that be?

Rosetta

My dear lizard, would you like to hear a secret?

Rosetta

Charming women like myself conceal a great many mysteries...

Rosetta

Now shall we depart? You don't have time to waste. Trust me... I know.

Rosetta's knowledge of Lyria's secret sets the crew on edge. Before they can press her for more answers, monsters begin to attack.

Rosetta

Hm... So you're Gran? Fascinating...

Lyria

What's with this lady? She keeps staring at you, Gran...

Rosetta

And you must be Lyria, yes? Cute as a button, just as I thought you'd be!

Lyria

Huh? Oh... Thanks! I guess...

Rosetta

Look at you... As fresh and innocent as the morning dew.

Rosetta

Hard to believe you're one of the empire's top secrets...

Vyrn

What! Are y-you with the empire then?

Rosetta

Hardly. But this skydom is under the influence of the empire, yes?

Rosetta

I wonder if there's anyone in Phantagrande truly out of Erste's reach.

Katalina

If that's the case, then everyone may be connected to them. Friend and foe alike...

Rosetta

Exactly! Why, if I didn't know any better, I'd say there's someone here with a particularly deep connection...

Rosetta

Isn't that right, Eugen?

Eugen

...!

Rackam

Now wait just a second! What are you getting at?

Rosetta

Ah, who can say? I'm sure you'll find out for yourselves sooner or later.

Monster

Grrr...

Rosetta

For now, however, it looks like you'll need to give these monsters your undivided attention!

Katalina's question about Rosetta's errand is met with a mischievous smile from the mysterious maiden. Without revealing her purpose, Rosetta continues deeper into the forest with the crew.

Rosetta

Gran! You're much more skilled than you appear, I see. I think I'll stick close to you!

Lyria

No! I stick close to Gran! You stay away!

Rosetta

Now, now, is somebody jealous? How utterly adorable.

Lyria

Humph...

Come on... If you don't quit it, you're both gonna get left behind!

Rosetta

You shouldn't be so hasty, my dear. You must affect a more... ladylike air.

Katalina

Rosetta, I hate to ask this out of nowhere...

Rosetta

Oh? Is it about my age? I know you're curious, but even between ladies that's a big no-no...

Katalina

No! It's not about that!
Although... I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious...

Katalina

Ahem... Back to my real question though.

Katalina

You said you're here on an errand, correct?

Katalina

Could you tell us what it is? I mean, as long as it's all right to share.

Rosetta

Oh, about my errand? It's an important question to ask. And it shows you're being cautious...

Katalina

Well then?

Rosetta

No, no! I cannot say. Do I need to repeat myself? A woman must have her mysteries!

Rackam

What's the hold up back here? Io and the others are about to leave you two behind!

Rosetta

Now then, shall we go? We wouldn't want to get lost in a place like this!

Katalina talks privately with Gran about Rosetta's mysterious behavior. Still unsure of her motive, they decide to proceed with caution.

Katalina motions for Gran to come near and begins to speak in a hushed voice.

Katalina

Gran, did you see what I saw? About Rosetta...

Katalina

When we first met, the monsters kept their distance from her. As if bowing at her feet...

Katalina

On top of that, she hid herself cleverly enough to surprise us. So what's your take on all this?

Dialogue Option

The monsters were crouching to attack her!

Katalina

I suppose that makes sense... I still get the feeling there's something not right about her though.

Katalina

But if that's true, then who is she? And what does she want?

Katalina

I guess you're as clueless as I am... Whatever the case, I think it's wise to keep an eye on her going forward.

Deep in the forest, Rackam sees a sign for the Knickknack Shack. Lyria's powers indicate that the Black Knight may be in the same direction, so Gran and the others set off down the path.

Rackam

Hm? What's that over there?

What's the matter? You see something?

Rackam

If my eyes aren't playing tricks on me... it's a sign for the Knickknack Shack.

In the middle of the forest?

You sure you don't need to get your eyes checked, gramps?

Rackam

Hey! I'm still as spry as a fox, thank you very much!

Rackam

You see it too, right, Vyrn?

Vyrn

Hm... There's definitely something over there! Couldn't tell you what it is though.

Lyria

Hey, Rackam! Can you point it out to me?

Rackam

Hm? It's over there. Beyond those trees.

Lyria

Over there? I can feel Leviathan resonating with something from that direction.

Lyria

The Black Knight and the girl she was travelling with might be over there...

Rackam

The Black Knight paying Siero a visit? That sounds like bad news. Hopefully it's nothing.

Eugen

This is the Black Knight we're talking about. It's not gonna be nothing.

Rackam

Tch... You're right. Let's go, Gran! Onward!

Gran and the others rush to the Knickknack Shack where a giant monster has suddenly appeared.

Monster

Groooar!

Rackam

What's a huge monster like that doing in front of the shop? Looks like this one's no joke!

Rosetta

Oh, how gallant! I must say, I'm quite the fan of this side of you, Rackam.

Eugen

It doesn't matter how gallant you are if you don't have the strength to pull through when it counts!

Rosetta

So true, so true. I'd love to see more though... More of that strength of yours!

Gran and the others arrive at the Knickknack Shack to find the mysterious girl from before quietly eating alone. However, the Black Knight is nowhere to be found.

After defeating the monster, Gran and the others hurry toward the Knickknack Shack.

Sierokarte

Welcome, welcome!

Sierokarte

Hm? Well, if it isn't Gran and the crew!

Rackam

Wait... Siero? What're you doing on Lumacie!

Sierokarte

Because wherever you go, the Knickknack Shack always has your back! You might wanna jot that down!

Weird jokes aside, are you okay? You didn't see any strange folks in black come by, did you?

Sierokarte

I wouldn't call her strange, but a customer's come by who's practically eaten me out of house and home!

Sierokarte

But she'll probably get her fill any minute now—

Rosetta

Here you go, Siero! You were waiting for this, right?

Sierokarte

Oh my! Rosetta! Did Gran's crew escort you here?

Katalina

W-wait just a minute! I mean, what's going on here?

Katalina

Sierokarte and Rosetta know each other, but how exactly?

Sierokarte

When you put it that way... that's a real toughie of a question!

Rosetta

We've known each other for quite a while. I don't think I can sum it up more easily than that.

Lyria

But, Siero! You really haven't seen a black knight come through here? With a young girl?

Sierokarte

A black knight, you say? Can't say I've seen one... But if it's a girl you're looking for, take a glance over there!

???

Yum, yum...

Lyria

Huh?

???

...

???

Seconds, please...

Sierokarte

Oh, certainly! I'll be back in two shakes of a lamb's tail!

Gran and the crew cross paths with the mysterious girl once more.

But with the Black Knight nowhere to be found, a sense of unease settles over them.
