[ Once Okami finishes delivering all the tasty fishes, he's going to head for the village So mentioned ]

[bluerosestyle]

[If he follows the river downstream, it will be very simple to find! He'll find no one guarding the entrance to the village. Lucky?!



It’s late, but there are several people on the streets, and all of them are heading towards the direction of the main square, talking between themselves and laughing. The main road seems to lead the main square, and also to what seems to be a church.

You can also go right, or follow the smell of bread.]

[furrytailprince]

[ Going to follow the smell of bread obviously ]

[bluerosestyle]

[OBVIOUSLY

You can tell this is the bakery because it smells like bread-- but not because of anything they have on display behind the window. After all, there’s nothing there. Just empty trays.

The baker’s wife notices you, and comes out of the store.]

Good evening. Did you want to buy something?

[furrytailprince]

... I thought you were baking something.

[bluerosestyle]

Me? Oh, no, not this late. But we have freshly baked bread every morning.

[furrytailprince]

Ah, I suppose I will have to come back.

Anyway, I was trying to understand where I might find the source of this cold.

[bluerosestyle]

The source of this cold? Are you talking about the weather?

[furrytailprince]

Ah, is there any place where it gets colder than the rest?

[bluerosestyle]

I wouldn't know... Maybe in the mountains? But no one ever goes there, and crossing them is Taboo.

[furrytailprince]

Why is that?

[bluerosestyle]

[She looks scandalized...]

Why...? It's in the Taboo Index. "Thou shalt not cross the End Mountains that encircle the Human Empire." Did you forget?

[furrytailprince]

Ah, I apologize. It is late and my head is feeling somewhat foggy.

[bluerosestyle]

Oh, that's too bad. You will miss the celebration.

[furrytailprince]

Celebration?

[bluerosestyle]

The Tree of Life festivities. Tomorrow is a rest day, after all... Are you not from here?

[furrytailprince]

Ah, I have been so busy that it must have slipped my mind...

[bluerosestyle]

Oh, it's bad when that happens. My husband feels that way sometimes. What is your Calling?

[furrytailprince]

I am a researcher. I study things to learn more about them.

[bluerosestyle]

I have never heard of that Calling. The Taboo Index covers everything people need to know. The only people whose Calling is to study are...

Ah! Could it be that... you are a student of the Sacred Arts?

[suddenly, she seems reverent]

[furrytailprince]

Ah, I am not sure I am at liberty to discuss that.

[bluerosestyle]

I see...! Well, it will be a shame not to see you at the celebration. I hope you enjoy Rulid town.

[furrytailprince]

Thank you for your kind words.

[ He is going to be smart and leave the village before he makes any more mistakes ]

[bluerosestyle]

[To be fair, the village is a great place to smile and nod.

On his way out, Okami will see even more people going to the main square, and-- wait, was that group wearing Imeeji clothing?

Maybe it was his imagination...]

[furrytailprince]

[ Okay, he might go after the people in Imeeji clothing ]
