We left Stachion, taking the short route back through the woods, and used the rapidly dwindling stock of Droplets of Villi on our soles to cross Lake Talpha. While crossing the wasteland of the second area north, we found another fruiting cactus and took a short break to pick it clean. Myia took off her mask for the first time in hours to eat and exclaimed that she had never tasted such delicious fruit before. Kizmel proudly explained to her that a cactus fruited for only thirty minutes throughout an entire year.

The giant scorpions of the canyon area were as tough as always, but we made quick work of them with the addition of not one, but two high-powered NPCs. The gamer in me wanted to just hang out and farm for half a day, but my conscience got the better of me, and I knew it wasn’t right to use a ten-year-old girl as a power-leveling tool. Still, with what we earned in the south-area dungeon yesterday and the reward bonus for the “Agate Key” quest, I got to level 21, and Asuna reached level 20. Kizmel and Myia gave us both a round of applause when it happened.

A few minutes after one o’clock, we reached the canyon just before Castle Galey.

“Ooooh…!” Myia marveled at the massive castle in the distance. She hadn’t been out of Stachion in ten years, so the wonder of seeing the stately dark elf building had to be far beyond when I first saw Kawagoe Castle in the real world. For that matter, Kawagoe Castle didn’t even have any towers, so its profile was much less impressive.

A little while ago, I would have agonized over the question of “What does a sense of wonder really mean to an NPC?” but my view of NPCs (of AIs in general) had been updated many times in recent days. I couldn’t just assume that only Kizmel and Viscount Yofilis were special NPCs above the rest.

As we approached the castle over the stone bridge that was apparently once an aqueduct, the bells began ringing, and the heavy gates started to open. Only then did it occur to me that Myia was a human and had not accepted any dark elf quests, but the guards did not seem interested in accosting her, perhaps because of Kizmel’s presence. I made a mental note to ask about getting the girl another one of the sigil rings as we trotted through the half-open gates.

Myia exclaimed again as she looked up at the vast branches of the spirit tree and the looming castle behind it. Castle Galey ran in an arc along the curved cliff, which had to be a delightful change from Stachion and all its relentless straight angles. Once this was all done, we could take her to see Karluin on the fifth floor, Yofel Castle on the fourth, and Zumfut on the third. Meanwhile, Kizmel lowered the hood of the Greenleaf Cape and said, “Shall we speak in your room, Asuna? Or in the dining hall?”

The fencer lowered her own hood and said, “The bath.
