[Monster Scholar] Oh, I'm sorry. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to...

[Monster Scholar] Please go ahead and do what you have to do. Oh, me? Don't worry. I'm fine by myself.

Who are you?

Script requirement

Dialogue ends here

Script requirement

[Monster Scholar] I'm Rumis Block, and I'm working here on behalf of the monsternomics academy from the Schwarzwald Republic. Botanist Terris Block is my older twin brother.

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] This place is freezing. Not only that, it's deserted and too quiet... Everything around us is watching and threatening us. You know, I didn't want to come here...

Script requirement

How did you get here?

Script requirement

Dialogue ends here

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] In fact, none of us wanted to come here. I mean, no one knows what kind of danger lurks in this unknown world.

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] It was my brother Terris who wanted me to come along. He was selected first as the botanist of the continental expedition. He had to drag me here 'cuz I didn't want to come.

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] I guess he didn't want to be alone in this world far away from civilization. Instead, he decided to drag me here and force me to join the expedition so he doesn't feel lonely!

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] What's with that dirty look? Why, do I sound like someone blaming someone else for the misery in his life?

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] I'm telling you, it's the truth. There are people that want to escape the expedition by getting themselves sick on purpose.

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] I know it's too late to complain now, but...

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] Every day I pray to God to let me go back home safely. That's the only thing that keeps me going. Everything around here is watching me. It's suffocating, you know?

Script requirement

1

When do you go back?

Script requirement

Dialogue ends here

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] That's the problem. We Specialists are required to submit our study reports to the expedition's leaders. We are here to explore and study this world.

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] I'm sure the management will tell me when to go back, but I don't expect it to be any time soon. It'll be at least after I submit my report.

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] I must tell you, I hate this place! It gives me the creeps!

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] Yes, I'm a monster scholar But I've been afraid of creatures even when I was on the Midgard Continent...

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] No, but can't you see? This place is totally new to me, and everything is so unknown...

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] I may be a monster scholar, but I'm afraid... Of many things...

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] The president of United Midgard Corporation has asked me to find some monsters that are edible.

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] But look outside. Look! Do you see Mandragoras hiding in the icy bushes? Those are called ^3131FFNepentheses^000000.

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] Aren't they quite savage- looking and intimidating? They look as if they want to sting me with those sharp thorns! Argh...

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] I'd rather starve to death than study those dangerous and grotesque monsters! I'm not going to go outside of my tent.

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] Not ever. No one can dare venture through such a threatening environment!

Script requirement

[Rumis Block] I'm not going to go outside of my tent. Not ever.

Dialogue ends here

[Rumis Block] I'm scared of this place. But I'm not going to ask my brother for help He hates me.

[Rumis Block] If a Nepenthes approaches me with a smile and speaks to me kindly...

[Rumis Block] *Sigh* I sound crazy, don't I? ...This is why I didn't want to leave my lab...

Show loot from Nepentheses.

[ Hey, take a look here... These Nepentheses aren't any more brutal or grotesque than the ones back home.

[ Hey, take a look here... These Nepentheses aren't any more brutal or grotesque than the ones back home.
[Rumis Block] ...What's this? Isn't this from the Nepentheses?
[ That's right! I took care of them. It was easy, haha!
[Rumis Block] I can't believe you really took care of them! Tell me, who are you really? Are you a soldier? Captain? Or agent?
[ No, I'm just a wandering adventurer. I've come here to challenge this new place and to help people out~
[Rumis Block] I... I see. I've heard about adventurers that have made positive impacts on Midgard. You're one of them, huh?
[Rumis Block] ...That's great! I think I've finally found a silver lining. God has sent me a savior. And I think that's you!
[Rumis Block] Please, don't say you don't want to help me. Can't you see that. I'm shivering in fear? Please help me. Will you?
[Rumis Block] As I told you earlier, I have an elder twin brother, Terris Block...
[Rumis Block] He's a botanist. He's extremely strong and extroverted, unlike me. I think he hates me because I represent weakness, and he is the complete opposite.
[Rumis Block] ...Oh, that's not what I wanted to say. I wanted to show my discovery regarding the Nepentheses to my brother.
[Rumis Block] I need a Nepenthes specimen, but I don't have the tools to make one, my luggage is still on transfer. And it's not like I've packed enough tools, so...
[Rumis Block] To make my specimen tools, I need ^3131FF1 Empty Bottle, 5 Holy Waters, and 30 Sticky Mucus^000000.
[Rumis Block] You know what I'm. asking here, don't you? Help me, help me, please.

Scold him.

[ You call yourself a monster scholar, and yet you're afraid of practicing your expertise. You're nothing but a coward.

[ You call yourself a monster scholar, and yet you're afraid of practicing your expertise. You're nothing but a coward.
[Rumis Block] I can take your criticism, but I can't hide my true feelings.

Comfort him.

[ Come on, you're a respected monster scholar. You'll find that the monsters in this world aren't that different from the ones in Midgard. W...

[ Come on, you're a respected monster scholar. You'll find that the monsters in this world aren't that different from the ones in Midgard. Why don't you see for yourself?
- Rumis didn't seem - - to be convinced. - - He shook his head in refusal. -

[Rumis Block] I'm not going to go outside of my tent. Not ever.

Dialogue ends here

[Rumis Block] Thank you. you've brought the materials.

[Rumis Block] While you were collecting the materials, I've sent out soldiers to catch a few Nepentheses.

[Rumis Block] Nepenthes looks extremely similar to Mandragora on the Midgard Continent.

[Rumis Block] Both of them must share the same ancestor, but apparently Nepenthes has evolved to become stronger and more aggressive due to this barren environment.

[Rumis Block] I wonder how the ancestors were scattered over two different worlds...

[Rumis Block] Maybe they went through the World Tree Yggdrasil? Maybe it came along with other creatures such as Satan Morocc and traversed through time and space.

[Rumis Block] The characteristics of this species are...

[Rumis Block] Oh, where are my manners? I'm sorry if I bored you by talking academic nonsense... Let's talk about something else, shall we?

[Rumis Block] Do you think... My brother will be happy to see this Nepenthes specimen? You know, Nepenthes is a plant monster, and that's my brother's specialty.

[Rumis Block] Please deliver this specimen to Terris Block He's near the expedition camp. No, you won't have to sit through my brother's reaction... If it's bad.

[Rumis Block] - You have received a- - Nepenthes Specimen - - from Rumis Block. -

Dialogue ends here

[Rumis Block] To make my specimen tools, I need ^3131FF1 Empty Bottle, 5 Holy Waters, and 30 Sticky Mucus^000000.

[Rumis Block] You know what I'm asking here, don't you? Thank you in advance.

Dialogue ends here

[Rumis Block] Did you deliver the Nepenthes Specimen to my brother Terris? He's at the east of the camp.

Dialogue ends here

[Rumis Block] ...Welcome back. Oh, you don't have to tell me what my brother said, because someone from his side already came by. His report really impressed management, huh?

[Rumis Block] Yes, that's my brother......

[Rumis Block] ...Anyways, one of the soldiers that captured Nepentheses for me has given me some interesting information.

[Rumis Block] Over the eastern bridge, he found a new type of monster.

[Rumis Block] According to his description, the monster is suspected to be a member of the long-haired Cat family. I'd like to see it with my own eyes, but...

[Rumis Block] As you know, I'm not yet ready to face any types of monsters in this world...

[Rumis Block] Can you escort me while I'm studying that species? Please, I'm begging you!

1

Okay.

[Rumis Block] Wow, thanks! Then I'd better pack my stuff right away...

Available immediately

[Rumis Block] Wow, thanks! Then I'd better pack my stuff right away...
[Rumis Block] It won't take long. Can you please go wait for me over the eastern bridge? Don't... Don't go too far from the bridge!
Dialogue ends here

2

No.

[Rumis Block] Oh.........

Available immediately

[Rumis Block] Oh.........
Dialogue ends here

[Rumis Block] I'll pack my stuff and follow you. Can you please go wait for me over the rightward bridge? Don't... Don't go too far from the bridge!

Dialogue ends here

- Rumis is hurriedly packing his stuff. -

Dialogue ends here

[Rumis Block] ......

[Rumis Block] Apparently, an extremely intelligent creature inhabits Ash Vaccum.

[Rumis Block] An explorer went over the rightward bridge to find some wood. In the darkness, something really big rushed at him from far away.

[Rumis Block] When he came back to his senses, there was nothing but a tricorn hat left on the ground.

[Rumis Block] The tricorn is woven in a way that was never introduced to Midgard, and its materials are also unidentifiable.

[Rumis Block] Does it mean another race of human resides here? Would they be fairies or something else?

[Rumis Block] What if they've detected us and tried to drive us away... Wah!

[Rumis Block] Even thinking of them send chills down on my spine! Can you please go check what kind of races reside at the end of the land over the rightward bridge? I want to know if they're friendly or hostile to us.

Dialogue ends here

[Rumis Block] Welcome back. Did you find out about them?

[ Well, let's see...

^FF0000Tatacho^000000

[ The owner of the tricorn hat is a monster called...

[

[ The size of Tatacho is about... ^3131FF

[ Tatachos are usually sitting on the ground, but they roll around if their body temperature goes down too low because of the cold weather.

[ About that tricorn hat, I've concluded, based on my opinion about their appearance and their movement patterns, that it is not active or productive at all:

[ They are not intelligent enough to produce a sophisticated hat like that.

[Rumis Block] ...... You now sound like me... I guess I've stained you with my academic manner of speech. Oh, I'm not saying it is bad, but...

[Rumis Block] Anyways, according to your conclusion, the hat must have been given to them by someone else, or they could have picked it up after another creature dropped it. Thank you for such valuable information. It's enough to write a report.

[Rumis Block] I should make a brief report and then submit it to management. Hopefully, a new monster scholar after me will do a better job in actually studying them.

[Rumis Block] There are many cold places in my country, the Schwarzwald Republic, but none are as cold as this place. This weather is freezing my senses, dulling my passion toward my studies. I shall go back home faster than anyone else in this camp. I'm tired of this world...

[Rumis Block] ... I really appreciate it

[Rumis Block] I'll repay your favor as soon as I go back home. I hope you'll make yourself known in Ash Vacuum with your great accomplishments.

[Rumis Block] Can you please go check what kind of races reside at the end of the land over the rightward bridge? I want to know if they're friendly or hostile to us.

Dialogue ends here

[ Mr. Rumis! Take a look at this!

[Rumis Block] ...Oh, hello. I'm extremely frustrated. I feel helpless because I wasn't able to go back home last time...

[ I've found this horn from a monster in the Splendide Area. That monster was very mysterious, and its body was covered with grass.

[Rumis Block] Ho... Covered with grass? ...I know you're excited, but that doesn't sound interesting to me. Sorry.

[Rumis Block] Let me take a look at the horn.

[Rumis Block] Hmm.

[Rumis Block] Uhmm...

[Rumis Block] Huh...?

[Rumis Block] ...This is remarkable. ...This horn looks very similar to that of the Hillsrions that inhabit the Manuk area.

[Rumis Block] I wonder if they're related, or if this is an evolved Hillsrion.

[ Ah, and there's the possibility of mutation caused by the environment.

[Rumis Block] ...What do you mean? Are you saying the monster has been mutated by environmental causes?

[ Well, that's possible, isn't it? Haha!

- You told Rumis what you've heard from Botanist Terris: some plants are already showing signs of mutation. -

[Rumis Block] Oh, that's interesting. If such a device really exists, it's possible to cause abnormal growth to monsters by injecting them with special energy.

[Rumis Block] By the way, who came up with the idea of that device?

[ I have no idea. Haha!

[Rumis Block] I see... Mutants caused by a man-made device... Then there might be more mutated creatures in addition to Tendrillion.

[Rumis Block] ...Now I'm very curious. But... I want to go back home... It's no use studying them if the management will order me to return.

[Rumis Block] I guess my brother really likes this place. I mean, he's working so hard to figure things out...

[Rumis Block] Well, not everyone can live the same life. I just hope he'll have a better understanding about me...

[Rumis Block] I don't know if people in Midgard will welcome me back. Thanks to you, I at least have a few interesting stories to tell them.

[Rumis Block] If you're going to stick around here longer, please help my brother with his study. I might want to come back later once this area is fully explored and developed...

- With a shy smile on the face, Rumis Block asked you to shake hands, and then turned around hurriedly. -

- You really hope that Rumis will be able to go back home. -

Dialogue ends here

[Rumis Block] ...I submitted the report to the management, but they have not yet ordered me to go back home... ...*Sigh* I guess nothing's as easy as I'd hoped.

Dialogue ends here

- Rumis seems anxious and scatterbrained. -

Dialogue ends here

[Rumis Block] When can I go back to Midgard...? *Sigh*
