"This town is more ordinary than I expected"

Rina:

"It's quite impressive to see a town has all its outside world interaction cut off like this. the east and west side were surrounded by mountains, the entrance is on the south, just before the cave's entrance. Seems like there are pastures and factories up north where all of its product is made"

Chelsea:

"That place seems to be important, they did not let me in too."

Natsume:

"Most of the inhabitants seems to have lived here for years"

Chelsea:

"I did visitted the school, the students seems to be children of adventurers who came here."

Etta:

"There's many people in the counseling office too!"

Rina:

"Adventurers who arrived and settled here are also those who follow the rumors about Shamballa"

Chelsea:

"Though I can't imagine there's something that can actually satisfy everyone's desire in here"

Rina:

"There seems to be some sort of secret going around. There were several suspicious places. Have you noticed anything else?"

Natsume:

"If I must say, isn't there only women here, in this town?"

Rina:

"There were a few men, though. There were also stories about all-male parties that never reached this town."

Chelsea:

"It must be some sort of mechanism placed in the cave which prevents advancement of parties without women that we might have missed."

Etta:

"...excuse me, I've heard there's also a mechanism that prevent people here from passing through. Does that means we won't be able to leave this town as well?"

Etta:

" Does that mean that in the legend of Shamballa, it's not the people who arrived in the city they don't want to leave, but it's the city itself doesn't want them to? "

Natsume:

"Interesting opinion. But wasn't Mariel out of town before."

Rina:

"Friend of the example?"

Etta:

"That's true, but it's still somewhat uneasy. It seems like we have come to a place we should not be able to... And now it seems like it's impossible to be separated from it...."

Natsume:

"Etta..."

Etta:

"I, myself, like to travel with everyone. To a person who did not know anything beyond my monastery, you all have taught me various things"

Etta:

"But, when I'm in this town, I feel like I can no longer travel with you guys anymore..."

Rina:

"It's rare to see Etta talks with such anxiety huh."

Chelsea:

"That's why you could see this girl's premonition is right, right?"

Rina:

"What now, Leader?"

Natsume:
"..."

Etta:

"Natsume-san..."

Natsume:

"ugh enough already. If you talk to me like that I can't do anything but give up. Today when I went around the town, it looked like an ordinary town instead of legendary Shamballa."

Natsume:

"Kay, I got it. As we are already tired after the long trip, we'll stay here for the night and leave tomorrow."

*concerned thought*

Etta:

"Natsume-san, I'm so sorry..."

Natsume:

"Why is Etta apologizing? You're just worried about us, weren't you?"

Etta:

"Natsume-san~~~! Thank you!"

Duplicate

Rina:

"So it turns out like this afterall"

Chelsea

"There are places to worry about this town, but there were more unusual places than this, so I wonder if it is just right."

Rina:

"As we'll leave tomorrow, I now get a vibe to explore for a little bit more. Why don't we go and look around a bit?"

Chelsea:

"Yeah"

Land Lady:

"Everyone, before taking your day off, please also use our famed outdoor hotspring. It can heal your tireness after the your journey."

Rina:

"Outdoor bath?, Sounds good!"

Natsume:

"we haven't had a proper bath for 2 days in the cave already, right?"

Chelsea:

"Now you said it..."

Etta

"Let's us all go in! Before we off for the break!"

Rina:

"That's right"

"The gang then finish their meal and off to their room to rest."

Natsume:

"Interesting opinion. But wasn't Mariel out of town before?."
