Barth was surrounded by a series of tall walls, structures that the water train had passed through to reach the station at the city’s center. With Krone by his side, Ein proceeded further into the station to meet with the Graciers.

“There was an earthquake, but I’m glad we’ve all arrived safely,” Dill said, letting out puffs of white into the air with each breath he took. “Now then, er...”

He glanced at his father, who was standing beside him.The young officer had tried to say something, but stopped himself. Lloyd easily caught on.

“Ah, you can call me ‘Sir Lloyd,’ though ‘Marshal’ would’ve been appropriate not too long ago,” Lloyd said.

“It’s only us around,” Ein said. “ So why don’t we drop the formalities for a little while?”

“You heard him,” Lloyd said. “Because you acted so timidly, His Highness has offered his kind consideration. You should be grateful.”

As the group left the station, Ein quickly noticed that Barth looked nothing like any of Ishtarica’s other cities. Barth was blanketed in snow and constantly falling flakes often glittered in the town’s ambient light. Ein’s eye darted about, leaving him surprised by the stout walls and sturdy iron gates around him. But when his focus narrowed onto the town itself, the boy found himself enthralled with Barth’s unique architecture.

“Barth is a magnificent town,” Ein commented.

A billboard seemingly crafted out of monster bones adorned on the many storefronts that lined the streets. Blacksmiths energetically hammered away at their work with doors wide open, appearing as if they were impervious to the cold. Orange light spilled out from restaurants that boomed with sounds of boisterous adventurers as they indulged in a pint or two while sharing hearty laughs. Though some adventurers tended to be much more tense, discussing strategies as they headed to the town gates for a nighttime hunt.

“It really is a town for adventurers,” Ein said.

“Indeed it is. I’d imagine that your young mind must be rather stimulated by its present surroundings!” Lloyd replied. “Sir Ein, why don’t I let you in on a small nugget of knowledge? Please look over there.”

He pointed to a large restaurant that was decorated with bones.

“Those are monster bones,” Lloyd elucidated. “However, it also shows the restaurant’s standing.”

“Standing?” Ein asked.

“To be blunt, those simple bones are rather expensive. The larger the bones, the stronger the beast. Only the most adept adventurer can best such a monster. In short, such materials are not for those with small pocketbooks.”

“I see. That sounds about right for a town like this. Though why did they go with bones, I wonder?”

“Ha ha ha! There’s a good reason for that! You’ll see it for yourself shortly!”

See? Lloyd’s enigmatic words piqued the prince’s curiosity, but the former marshal’s loud laughter led the boy to let his concerns slide on by. As the prince sighed, Krone posed a question.

“Sir Lloyd, Is Ein not exactly welcome in these parts?”

“Hm? Why would you think that?” Lloyd inquired.

“Not a single person has reacted to Ein’s presence.”

“To be frank, it’s not like Sir Ein isn’t welcome.
