Buddy: "There is the entrance. Exactly as I left it still."
Buddy: "I suddenly do not mind sealed locations because if you are going to leave, and you do not know if you are ever coming back in a thousand years, you just turn everything off and lock the door. Common sense."

"These as well?"
"No, Archmagus, we only use them as Ghost bait, and we look at them out of nostalgia."
"Fair enough, since that is exactly the impression I got when I arrived here."
"Mmmhm. While that remark was not funny by any means, the already quite small Inquisition Office here has its hands full as is. Those scrolls thus fell on us, and everything is Magic related."
"Brilliant! All this time everyone has been waiting for that ONE Magician you can rope into this!"
"Mmmhm. A job like any other, naturally, and simply outside our sphere. Having some work done properly, for once, will not kill that Magician. Certainly that is obvious."
"...Certainly. Indeed. Of course. I can see some of these Magic laws are quite old. When was the last time you guys aligned with Crystana?"
"I believe that was about one hundred fifty years ago. Why?"
"That is not too bad. I have seen worse."
"Mmmhm. Regardless, a signature is a signature. I am sure you can understand that much, Archmagus."
"Arch. Magus."
"I beg your pardon? I am sure I know what I say."
"Eyey... It is just that you need to train putting a pause there. It brings out contempt more. I do not feel properly addressed otherwise. ...Anyways, I technically am authorized to penalize the city for all of these documents, and I definitely do not need to, should not, sign any of them in this state. Ah well!"
"Very bold remarks, Archmagus. Your kind tends to simply... mysteriously... disappear. We do not want that, do we?"
"Eh, attempts at my life are basically my personalized version of: How do you do?"
"..."
"Do not worry about it. One of my perks is having an immunity to like-minded people. But you can always try harder!"
"Mmmhm."
"Is this a cellar, by the way? You do not need to pretend you have to be here. I saw other rooms! I know they exist!"
"...I fail to see what you are talking about. This place suits you."
"Done and done with these. Magic is nice. I can sign four at once!"
"Very nice. You can also talk four times less."
"...Is there anything to eat around here? I am hungry. Very hungry."
"No, there is not."
"Haaa... Then I will go grab something."
"Absolutely not. I will look bad."
"...Ahahahaa! Aaah... In that case, I will get something from the stalls around the plaza. When I saw all that food, I just wanted to raid the whole place!"
"Archmagus, you will not because otherwise it will seem like we did not give you anything to eat."
"And you did?"
"No, and as such you shall sit here without food."
"Mmmhm."
"Mmmhm."
"Tsk. I should not have announced myself. Tsk. What a dimwit. Tsk-tss-shhh..."
"We are grateful for your presence, and that we could agree with you about helping us with this, Archmagus."
"Goddess bless! ...Do you mind me asking for your name?"
"I do not see a problem, Archmagus. My name is Fya."
"But that is a brilliant name!"
"Th-thank you..?"
"Truly! Hahaha! It suits you really well! I would have almost guessed it! That is how much it fits you!"
"...Ghh... I-I appreciate it. Yes, I do."
"All right then! Since my mission is ticking, I need to find some system here too! That is lacking."
"!!!"
"What? Did you really think I am here on a vacation? That I passed by? Felt like it?"
"...That would mean... Ghh..."
"Yes, that means there is only a handful of people who can assign me a mission, and that means the mission is somewhat a tiny bit important."
"B-But that also means we are interfering with a high ranked mission!"
"That would be the case. I am sure relevant people do not wish to hear about this city in more detail than from a tourism brochure."
"...Ha ha ha ha... Archmagus, is there a-anything we can help you with on your task? A-Are you still hungry?"
"Mmmmmhmm!"

"Your Excellency, well, speaking honestly, since that is your preference, and I am mentioning this to make it clear that we are going by your rules, that said, I would not have it any other way, naturally, and, removing any human factor from this, something that we can agree is simple for me, most of the time, for better or worse, frankly speaking, and for simplicity's sake putting it in Merchant Guild terms: They would write it very near the top of a list of the most embarrassing trades ever performed. No one would trade with you ever again. However, there is a degree of qualitative perception. Between shouting and screaming and yelling, and a silent deeply resentful gaze. Quantitively, conflicts remain stable."

"Um..."
"Zyuu..?"
"H-Here are the Red Jellies. G-Good luck. Um... Please go and... um... I do not know what I should be doing!"
"Zuuyu?"
"O-Oh! Mr. Ethercat, go and bite them. Ehehehe... Just not too a-aggressively, okay? I mean... uuu... Please defeat them in combat by... biting them. Ahaaaa... Th-They are JUST Jellies, is that right, Mr. Ethercat..?"
"...Zyaauu. Zyaaaauu!"
"...Eeeek!! Th-th-there is a Blue Jelly among them as well! M-Maybe we should really just- ...No. We cannot now. Mr. Ethercat, i-innocent lives depend on the f-ferocity of your next bite!"
"Zyauau?"
"D-Do not think about me... too much. If I die here, then I-I am sure it will be worth the sacrifice for people to be able to pass undisturbed again!"
"...Zyauau..."
"I know that Jellies look cute. They do! They are um... squishy and soooo soft! Ehehehe! ...I used to own one, you know? When I was but a little girl, I caught one outside by a river. I brought it back, and... Goddess! I was such a dimwit!"
"Zaauyau..?"
"I-I liked the Red Jelly so much! I named it Goodian. It loved to slither inside my pillow, and stay there. I thought it would double as a good hiding spot too! Warm squishy pillow! I was... scared the family would simply k-k-kill it. Ehehehe..."
"Zuuya..."
"You know what? Goodian tried to suffocate me three times! Ehehe... I thought it was just unused to humans... being a monster. And... um... that I could train it. ...That was not meant to be. One day Goodian jumped out of the pillow while my father was repairing my chair... and started choking him. B-Bless the Goddess that my brother was at home, and... um... have a lot more brains than I have e-ever had! Stabbed the Red Jelly to death with a pen my mother gifted me for my Birthday."
"...Zyuu..."
"I-Imagine it would have been a Blue Jelly or worse! In the end, they are monsters. Their sole purpose is to um... kill us. Perhaps one day we can, somehow, learn more about their thoughts than just studying their ways of combat. Like we can with animals and Magic Pets!"
"Zyaa-yaa!"
"Mr. Ethercat! S-Sir! Please..? Uuuu... I am already in so much hot water that not even a High Shaman would turn it cold just because I bought you! It is going to rain soon as well! I-I also need to deliver this letter to Sir Krython! He is not going to wait forever. Th-that means... ehehee... I need f-five minutes more to prepare a greeting! A-And and and... I need additional five minutes to take a deep breath before going through the lobby! One minute to knock on the door! It adds up! ...Then I still have to return this book to the library for Miss Liandra!"
"Zyaaaauuuu!!"
"Nuuu... I really cannot return empty ha- oh! M-Mr. Ethercat! Um... Good! Good job! You can proceed l-less viciously-"
"ZYAAAUUU-ZUUUUYAAAAA!!"
"...Well done, Mr. Ethercat! Now... um... I think... Go with bites, and use any Red Jelly residue to power yourself up. Then you can face the Blue Jelly afterwards. Scratch any other Jellies to keep them off your... tail. Ehehehe!"
"Zya-zya-zyauauaaa!"
"Tail whip to distract them? Clever thinking! Mr. Ethercat! Pounce the Red Jelly to your left! ...Uuuu... Well done! Well done! Ehehehe! Dodge from... the right!"
