Thanks so much for your help!

Speaking of which — that mechanic who saved us just in the nick of time. Betty, was it? Do you remember her?

Speaking of which — the mechanic who came to our aid in that crucial moment, I think her name was Betty... Do you remember her?

Oh yeah, I was just digging around and saw the name Betty Brenda on the roster at Roose Institute of Technology. She's in the same year as me

So you guys were students together. A school that size, it's only natural you don't remember her

School mates, huh. It's normal at a school that size not to remember everyone

I found a group photo of our research team, and realized she was actually my classmate.

Oh? You're in the same class? If you weren't close, I can understand why you wouldn't remember

Classmates? Then you mustn't have been close? Otherwise, you'd remember

I looked up the research log for my grad project and found out she was actually on my research team

Uhh... The same team?

Then I checked the Institute's dormitory records, and discovered we lived in the same dorm the whole time

...

REPLY

You really messed up, Grace.

Repent...

Yep, it's all your fault, Grace. It's okay to forget students at the same school as you, but forgetting classmates and even those in the same dorm as you...

If I were Betty, I'd be just as angry. No, I'd be even angrier than her!

Mmm, this is your fault, Grace. Putting aside the fact you were schoolmates, you were classmates and even dorm mates. You shouldn't forget them...

Put yourself in her shoes. It's completely understandable for Betty to be upset, even angry

Sigh, so you think it's my fault too? Sweat pea said the same

It couldn't be helped, Roose Institute of Technology is the holy land of mechanical engineering with thousands of fascinating mechanical prototypes in there. I didn't even have enough time to get to know all the kids there

How could I have any energy left over for socializing?

Anyway, I'll apologize to Betty next time I see her

Witch's Trial

Grace, are you there?

Grace, are you in?

I'm not here

If you're not there, then who's replying? Quit fiddling around with those children of yours. We've got big news!

How are you replying to me then... Quit fiddling around with those children of yours. We've got some key intel for you.

REPLY

Betty wants to challenge you!

Betty said she's achieved a technical milestone.

She also said she's gonna win the bid and has invited the Three Gates reps to a meet-and-greet!

She asked Wise to pass on the message for you to attend too!

She bragged about how she's gonna win the bid, and she's put together a meet-and-greet with the Three Gates reps.

She asked Belle to get you to attend, too

REPLY

The address is in the Knock Knock Business channel

Check out the news about the tech cooperation!

Hang on, let me see

It's somewhat strange...

Huh?

What's that?

The address for this meet-and-greet... It's inside a Hollow.

Huh? Inside a Hollow?

Yeah, a companion Hollow off the Lemnian Hollow. It's an old construction site.

I'm guessing... Betty's technical milestone has to do with that modded Guardian mech of hers. Maybe she's meeting those reps inside the Hollow to give a demonstration of its firepower?

One of the three departments from Three Gates Corp is military. If their tech cooperation is based around military tech... that makes sense.

How about it, Grace? Do you want to go?

Wanna go to the meet-and-greet, Grace? It's up to you

Yeah, let's go take a look. It'll be a big loss for Belobog to miss out on this bid.

Knowing your enemy isn't always the worst thing. Besides, we can check out this new tech in action.

Could I count on you two for navigation? Let me know when you're ready

I'm ready whenever

Greetings

All invitation messages sent by the player to Grace will begin in one of the following ways:

En-nah-ehn?

Ahhhhhhhhhh Eous—

Is it you?

REPLY

Sorry I'm not...

Sorry, it's a human.

Oh, it's Proxy.

Hmm? Anything I can help you with?

REPLY

I just wanted to see you.

I was going to ask you out.

If you had told me that earlier, I'd still be over the moon. Where to?

Grace...

Grace...

It's me. Didn't you set a nickname for me?

REPLY

No, no, just wanted to hang out.

No, I just wanted to ask you to hang out.

Okay.

Sure. I'm running some experiment data right now. I can check out the results when I get back.

Where are we going?

Heard you were feeling down

Heard you were feeling down.

?

Did Sweet Pea say that?

I'm fine. It's just that my experiment has hit a bottleneck.

I probably made them worry again... sigh.

REPLY

Let's go out and relax.

Let's meet up.

Sounds good to me.

Is there anywhere you wanna go?

I'm bored

I'm bored

I'm bored too.

I just can't stand meetings. Why do I have to sit here when they could just email me the minutes?

Although I wouldn't read them either.

REPLY

Skip the meeting. Let's hang out.

Finish the meeting and let's hang out.

Whatever...

Where to?

Invitations

Bardic Needle

How about meeting at Bardic Needle?

I remember.

The staff there is a beautiful android.

How do they create that distinctive lazy voice?

REPLY

What are you trying to do...?

Are you thinking of taking her apart?

I won't do anything.

Disassembling your neighbor without permission...

Would be kind of rude, wouldn't it?

...Unless she agrees...

Let's meet at Bardic Needle. When are you free?

Have you heard?

Some mechanical research also needs a human control group.

I think you'd make a good test subject.

Forgetting our appointment from yesterday?

Even mu [sic] children wouldn't make such a basic mistake.

REPLY

I—I'm sorry!

Apologies won't always solve everything for you.

I didn't forget.

You didn't forget... Then you must've skipped on purpose?

This time I'll let it slide.

But if you forget again...

I'll consider studying your brain. Thoroughly.

Brant Street Construction Site: Labor

How about I come to Brant Street Construction Site to find you?

Really?

This is a huge help!

REPLY

Can I help?

Of course!

Why are you so cheerful...?

Yeah, why?

Anyway, no backing out. See you at the site.

I'll let you pick a time.

We had an appointment to help at the construction site yesterday.

Did you forget?

REPLY

Got a lot going on.

We have a lot going on too.

Sorry...

Because you didn't come, I did double the workload.

It's taking up a lot of my experiment time...

If I don't get results because of this, I'll hold you accountable

...Just kidding. I'm a researcher with pride.

Brant Street Construction Site: Truck

Requires Trust Rank: Friendly

Meet by the truck at Brant Street Construction Site.

No problem

Don't worry. This time I won't make you do hard labor!

REPLY

I'll trust you this once.

I'll believe you one last time.

Really. Let's just do something relaxing.

So, meet by the Belobog truck? Pick a time.

Grace's Day of Relaxation?

(If the player failed to show up)

You didn't come to the site yesterday.

Did something happen?

REPLY

I got lost.

So you got lost?

I made it in my dream.

Oh, so you fell asleep?

That's no good. Looks like you need a tune-up.

If it happens again, I'll help and give you some tweaks.

Random Play

Come find me at the video store?

The video store... Sure.

You're not going to hide Eous away, are you?

REPLY

I'll try my best.

Oh, cry cry. jk.

Why would I?

Don't worry. I'm here to see you, and I won't look at any other Bangboo.

When do you want me to come find you?

A Little Spoils of War

(If the player failed to show up)

Yesterday... You never came.

I waited for ages outside the video store.

If my children made such a mistake...

I'd dismantle them piece by piece and replace the faulty parts.

REPLY

My bad... I'm sorry.

Good attitude. I'll forgive you this time.

Please don't dismantle me.

I'm not interested in dismantling humans.

This time I'll let it slide. Next time, keep your promise.

My time is very precious.

Video Store Promoter Event

Requires Trust Rank: Friendly

(After accepting Commission: The Video Store at the End of the Hollow)

There's something I'd like to ask you, it's about a videotape.

There's a movie called "Rookie's Guide to the Hollow," have you heard of it?

It's about a researcher from the old civilization who gets thrown into the era of the Hollow disaster due to a sudden research accident.

Back in the old days, it's called a movie about "time travel!"

REPLY

'Course I've heard of it.

Didn't know you were into time travel movies, Grace.

Hmm? Do you think I only care about mechanical stuff?

Well, if you think that way then you're right — I only know this because Koleda told me.

So, can you help me find the "Rookie's Guide to the Hollow" tape? I'm itching to watch it.

REPLY

Of course!

I got this!

Thank you in advance, then.

(Upon owning the videotape)

Did you find the movie I mentioned earlier?

REPLY

Yep!

It's ready for pick-up.

Thanks, your video store is really top-notch.

But I've been swamped at the site. Can I come pick it up later?

REPLY

Of course.

I'll be waiting for you.

Okay, I try to come as soon as I can.
