Ferry wants to free the village from Celeste's power, knowing that it may cause her and the villagers to disappear. This saddens Lyria, but Ferry tells her that the natural order must be restored. Before informing the villagers, Ferry wants to try to contact Celeste.

Ready to turn over a new leaf, Ferry tells Gran and the others of her decision to free the village from Celeste.

Katalina

So in other words, you want to draw Celeste away from the island?

Ferry

I don't know how it would work, but I was able to draw it here. That means I should be able to drive it away again.

But if that happens, that means that you and the villagers...

Ferry

Will probably disappear. But we can't keep staying in this world...

Lyria

I can't believe it... After we just became friends...

Ferry

The current situation is against nature. I'll just be returning the island to its natural state.

Ferry

Besides, you're going to absorb Celeste's power, aren't you, Lyria?

Ferry

I'll be happy as long as I can help Gran and you guys in your journey somehow.

Rosetta

It's a nice thought, but isn't it a little harsh to do this so suddenly?

Rosetta

Since you've got a new name and all, how about we go and tell the villagers?

Lyria

Yeah! The villagers were worried about you after all!

Ferry

W-well, all right... But we'll go later.

Ferry

First I'd like to try to contact Celeste the same way I did when I first summoned it.

Ferry

If I talk about freeing the village and find out later that I can't, it'll make me look worse.

Vyrn

Sounds like a plan! Let's get to it!

Vyrn

Wait, where did Sturm and Drang go? I don't see them anywhere...

Katalina

They seemed to be on their own mission anyway. So there's no need to worry about them.

Katalina

Now then, we've got Ferry on our side, but there are still monsters out there that might attack.

Katalina

So keep your guard up. Let's go, Gran!

Ferry takes Gran and the crew to where Celeste first appeared. She makes the same wish as when she first summoned Celeste, but a monster appears instead.

Is this the place where you summoned Celeste?

Ferry

Yes... While I was murmuring my wish, Celeste suddenly appeared out of the mist.

Vyrn

So if you make another wish here, Celeste might appear again!

Ferry

Right! It might take a little while though. So I hope you'll give me some time.

With that, Ferry gazes up at the misty sky and sends up a silent wish.

Katalina

No sign of it yet...

Ferry

Huh?

Rosetta

Oh dear! But something's coming closer!

Monster

Groooar!

It's just a regular old monster! There's no way that's Celeste!

Ferry

But why? This is definitely the same place as before...

Katalina

Either way, this thing answered our call. So let's fight it back! Here we go, Gran!

Thinking that something else may be needed to summon Celeste, everyone decides to go talk to the villagers in hopes of getting some clues.

Ferry

What am I doing wrong? The place and everything should be the same as back then...

Rosetta

There's a lot we don't know about primal beasts. Perhaps there's something else we need that you don't know about.

Katalina

Sounds like we need some clues first. Like whether something else on the island was odd when Celeste arrived.

Lyria

Let's go ask the villagers! There might be someone who remembers something!

Vyrn

We were planning on going to see them anyway! So let's head on over!

The villagers welcome Ferry with open arms. They explain that before Celeste appeared, an illness began to spread right when a traveling doctor came to the village. But the doctor has disappeared.

When they arrive at the village, Gran and the crew tell the villagers about Ferry's decision.

Villager 1

I see, I see... How wonderful! You've made the right decision, Ferry!

Villager 2

So our existence here is coming to an end, eh? Looking back, it's been a mighty long time. But it still feels like yesterday...

Villager 3

Ferry, weren't you lonely all this time in that mansion by yourself?

Ferry

Well, I mean... I had monsters to keep me company...

Villager 3

Is that so? Well, from now on, if you're ever in trouble, you'd better come and tell us, all right?

Ferry

Yes! I will.

Villager 3

Mm-hmm! That's a good girl!

Lyria

You look sort of nervous, Ferry, but really happy too!

Katalina

Indeed. I guess this clears up any rumors or misunderstandings.

Gran and the crew ask whether the villagers know of anything odd around the time Celeste first appeared.

Villager 1

Something odd? I can't think of anything...

Villager 3

Let's see... Now that you mention it, an illness began to spread through the island around the time Celeste appeared, I think.

Villager 2

Not exactly. The illness was already running rampant before the primal beast came.

Villager 2

A traveling doctor showed up right around the same time, but the doctor couldn't do anything in the end...

Hm... An illness and a doctor, huh? Neither of those seem helpful here...

Rosetta

Would you happen to know where that doctor is now?

Villager 1

Hm? That's a good question... Hasn't been around the village at any rate.

Villager 3

Perhaps the doctor left the island on an airship. The doctor never stayed in one place, after all...

Villager 2

Zombie or ghost, we haven't seen any sign of the doctor on the island since.

Rosetta

Disappeared without a trace, I see...

Vyrn

Whoa! There's a monster! Come on, Gran!

Vyrn

Ferry's just warming up to the villagers! No way we're gonna let these stinkers drop in on the party!

The villagers say that when Celeste appeared, there'd been a spreading illness and a traveling doctor on the island. But the connection to the primal beast is still unclear. Thinking that the doctor could be the key, everyone decides to visit the house where the doctor lived.

Vyrn

So let's sum up what we heard from the villagers, okay?

Vyrn

When Celeste appeared, the only unusual things on the island were a spreading illness and a traveling doctor!

Katalina

But I just don't see a connection between those things and primal beasts...

Lyria

Hm... I don't see it either.

Ferry

Too bad the doctor couldn't stop the illness from spreading...

Rosetta

Doctors aren't perfect, you know! But perhaps that doctor left clues behind about a cure.

According to the villagers, the doctor lived near the cemetery.

There might be something there, so let's go take a look, Gran!

Gran and the others find a summoning circle near the doctor's old house. Sturm and Drang appear and Drang suggests that they're thinking about this all wrong.

On the way to the doctor's house, Gran and the others stop by the cemetery, where they're greeted with an unexpected sight.

Katalina

Is that a summoning circle?

What does this mean? Could it be that the doctor was fake and was really a mage all along?

Drang

Hmmm... You're close! But it sounds more like the person was both a doctor and a mage...

Vyrn

Hey! When did you get here? And why did you come?

Drang

Well, you see... There's something about this hub-bub that's been naggin' me in the back of my mind.

Drang

And I think it's buggin' you too, Gran... Am I right?

Dialogue Option

You mean about the primal beast?

Drang

Bingo! I knew you were thinking it! And that's what I'm thinking too!

Dialogue Option

You mean about Ferry?

Drang

Wrong answer, but you're not far off. I'll give you that!

Drang

But at least we're both thinking that something seems off about all this...

Drang

Say, Ferry, didn't you say you made a wish and it reached the primal beast Celeste?

Ferry

Right! Because of my wish, Celeste came to this island.

Drang

Yep, yep! But if you ask me, I think you've got it all wrong...

Ferry

What?

Vyrn

What're you trying to say? Stop beatin' around the bush already!

Sturm

Wait. We've got company first. There are monsters coming this way.

Sturm

Get ready, Gran. And keep your eyes peeled, or I'll peel 'em for you!

Drang thinks someone else summoned Celeste. As if confirming his suspicion, a ghost suddenly appears. Lyria senses that the ghost is similar to a primal beast.

Drang

Isn't it a little naïve to think that a primal beast would answer a random wish?

Drang

If you wanted to control a primal without being an Astral, you'd need to be pretty smart or pretty special. Am I right?

Rosetta

Indeed. That's exactly why the empire's been so fascinated with Lyria and her powers.

Katalina

In other words, you're saying that it wasn't Ferry, but a different culprit who summoned Celeste?

Drang

Bingo! What do you think? Did I get it right?

Drang

Did I, Mister Culprit?

???

...

Ferry

What's that! Where did it come from?

Lyria

Gran, I know that's a ghost, but I'm sensing something similar to a primal beast...

???

...!

Vyrn

Whoa! Loads of monsters are gathering around!

This is getting sticky... So let's deal with these monsters first!

It's discovered that the doctor's reason for coming to the island was for primal beast experiments. As a result the doctor became a ghost and merged with a primal. The ghost doctor attacks Gran and the others.

Rosetta

From what I can tell of his research journal, it looks like the doctor came here to carry out experiments.

Ferry

Experiments? So he never intended to treat the illness...

Rosetta

We can't say for sure. It looks like he certainly had some skills as a doctor...

Rosetta

The only thing we can say is that whatever his research was, he's the result.

???

...

Lyria

I sense that somewhere deep within him, he's merged with a primal beast. At this rate, his mind must already be gone...

Katalina

Is this really the answer he was reaching for?

Drang

Who knows? I sure don't. And there's no way to tell anymore.

Sturm

But we do know one thing... He has it in for us.

???

...!

???

...

Drang

My, oh my! Look who finally decided to show up!

Katalina

We've got no choice but to fight! Gran, our opponent is a primal beast! Don't let your guard down!

Gran and the others defeat Celeste, who'd merged with the ghost doctor. But the primal beast returns, seemingly unaffected by the battle.

Katalina

Pant... Pant... That was tough, but it looks like it's over.

Ferry

Now the village... The whole island will finally be free—

Lyria

Wait! Something about it feels off... Something's not right!

Sturm

Look! Behind you!

Celeste

...!

What's going on! Didn't we just defeat it?

Rosetta

It's back without a single scratch... as if nothing happened.

Vyrn

What in the skies is going on here?

Celeste

...

Celeste suddenly appears in front of Gran and the others, further deepening the mystery behind the primal beast.

The fog spreads eerily, as if inviting more malicious mayhem to the island.
