Has anyone seen Euphemia li Britannia? Her... name disappeared off the contact list and I'm trying to figure out where the hell she went.

...D-don't get me wrong, assholes, I don't care! I just... don't want my vassals leaving without permission!

Euphie... Report... Report, dammit...

... You know, whoever that is, I think she's gone.

But... you know.

[demonichymn]

...Yeah, she's gone. It... it doesn't matter anymore, anyway. If she's gone, she's gone.

[kyudousha]

...

... Don't sound so fatalistic. She might come back.

[demonichymn]

It's not fatalistic, dammit! It's just the truth!

...When people come back, their memories don't come with them.

[kyudousha]

I think that there are better ways of thinking about the 'truth', really.

... But yeah, they don't, do they. I was here before too, but... I can't say I remember anything from that time, really.

But... that doesn't mean you can't treat them the same way if they come back, right? I mean, they're still the same person. Just the situation's changed a little.

[demonichymn]

...I hadn't thought of that.

[kyudousha]

I didn't think you had.

I think Somarium's proof enough that people still are who they are, even if they're being taken in from different periods of their lives, really.

... But enough about that. All this sentimental stuff is just getting so... ugh.

[demonichymn]

Yyyeah, I'm not too happy with it either.

So did you ever end up making pudding?

[kyudousha]

Yeah, been there, done that. I even made cake.

Didn't see any pretzels, though. But there's a bakery somewhere that I heard had stuff like that. You might want to check it out.

[demonichymn]

Good work. I'll consider that a successful first mission, I think.

[kyudousha]

Yeah, great.

So when do I get paid?

[demonichymn]

Haaaaahahahaha! Now I remember why I hired you, you're pretty much a demon yourself!

Anyway, I guess whenever you have some free time you could come by the place I'm staying and dig through my magical shit if you wanted. I stay in an abandoned warehouse in the Industrial District, it shouldn't be too hard to find- it's the only one with my flag on it, after all.

[kyudousha]

... Yeah, I seriously hope that's a compliment, you.

But that sounds pretty good, actually. I'll drop by then, if you don't mind. I don't exactly like working for free, you know? And besides, I can take a look at your allergy while I'm at it. Saves me the extra trip.

[demonichymn]

Most humans don't have that kind of attitude towards life. It's refreshing.

Sure thing. ...Just make sure not to get too close to the windows, I've set up some... booby traps there.

[kyudousha]

Well, maybe you just haven't met enough of them. I can think of a lot of examples of money-obsessed idiots off the top of my head.

... And if I get caught in those, I'm getting damage pay.
