Meanwhile, at the Noble Bell College...

India says to himself, "'Fieldwork' is just a fancy term for unstructured wandering time. Absolutely terrible for loners. Still, it's better than when teachers go, 'Okay, time to make your own groups!' ...but not by much,' He then says out loud, "Anyway, the Team Star members are..."

And Rook suddenly appears, "Oui!"

"EEP!" Idia yelps in fright.

"Greetings, Roi de sa Chambre! Team Star consists of yourself, Silver, Ruggie, and moi," Rook says.

Idia groans, "Augh, such a bright smile... That sheer extrovert aura is no joke... If only Azul were here to balance it out with some shadiness..."

"Oh, you think it's too bright out? I guess the brim of your hat isn't all that wide," Silver says.

"That won't do at all. Would you like to borrow my hat?" Rook replies.

Ruggie replies, "Wow, Rook. You're just as oblivious as Kalim. Reminds me of our good ol' Facepalm Brigade..."

"Oh, hey..." Idia replies, "Ruggie's got some shade going on underneath his athletic exterior... But is it just me, or are we all talking on different wavelengths? What are we, an adventuring party from an isekai transmigration light novel?"

"I can't make heads or tails of what you say either, y'know. I've gotten a feelin' this group's a trainwreck in progress," Ruggie says.

"Well, what would everyone like to see in the city?" Rook questions.

"I wanna check out some local handicrafts and specialty goods! After all, we're having a feast (read: free meal) tonight," Ruggie says.

Silver then asks, "Are you looking for souvenirs? I was hoping to buy one for Lilia, myself."

"Hm, perusing popular products could provide an insight to Fleur City itself. I like that idea," Rook says.

"Yeah, uh... I'd like to pick up something for Ortho while we're exploring too..." Idia says, "I wanna get to the main quest outta the way fast. That way our job here will basically be done."

"Uh, our 'job' is attending the social,' Ruggie replies, a bit confused.

And Idia says, "The social's already begun for me... Sounds like we've got a consensus, so let's get questing. Time to hit the road!"
