Summary
Rentt and Lorraine are tasked with picking up the grand guildmaster of Yaaran and escorting them to Maalt. The duo travels to Yaaran's capital, Vistelya, only to find the grand guildmaster is out and won't be back for a few days.
Now that they have some unexpected free time, Rentt and Lorraine decide to take care of other business around the city. They deliver a letter to Abess Elza, meet up with their colorful acquaintance, Augurey, and even seek an audience with a princess, where they learn not everything in the kingdom is as it seems.
As they wait for the grand guildmaster's return, the three adventurers join together to take on various jobs around the city. But will everything go smoothly, or do more surprises lurk in the shadows?
