A Sweltering Eternal Getaway - Chapter 2: A Tour of the Hot Spring District - Episode 3
(Captain), Seofon, Feower, Seox, and the others participate in a workshop where they make their own thunder domes. They hear about a fireworks festival happening the following night from an artisan. After finishing up at the workshop, the crew is walking down the street when Lyria bumps into a young man who vaguely reminds her of someone.
While Fif and company are relaxing at the tea house, (Captain) and the others are at a workshop in town, lining up tiny figures on a pedestal.
Lyria: Look! I tried recreating the deck of the Grandcypher!
Seofon: Is that (Captain) and Lyria standing in the middle? It's very well made!
Vyrn: Take a look at mine! I made an apple orchard!
Seofon: Very nice! Wait a second, is that a little red lizard I see under the tree?
Vyrn: Red lizard? Well, to be fair, there wasn't a dragon mold so I just made a cat and colored it red...
Feower: I've finished lining up my creations as well. What do we do after this?
Workshop Staff: Once you've placed them on the pedestal, us artisans will apply Crystalized Lightning and fix it in place with a glass sphere.
Workshop Staff: And then voila, you'll have your very own thunder dome!
Lyria: Creating your own little world within a glass ball is a fantastic idea!
Vyrn: So this "Crystalized Lightning" rock thing can produce lightning within the glass?
Workshop Staff: That's right! When we hold up the pedestal and gently pour our magic into it, sparks of static electricity start flying.
Feower: Just by putting your magic into the rock? Intriguing.
Workshop Staff: Crystalized Lightning has been used for crafting our staffs in Levin since long ago.
Workshop Staff: What we're using for these thunder domes are leftover fragments from crafting weapons. The pieces may be small, but their power is the real thing!
Lyria: When I saw the thunder dome at the shop earlier, I was really surprised by how much power I felt coming from it!
Workshop Staff: Yes! We'll also be coating your figures before putting them in, so there's no worry of them breaking from the static electricity.
Seofon: Wow, the process is quite thorough, I see.
Seofon: And what do you know, mine's done too! Looks pretty good, if I say so myself. I present to you, Tien and Feower of Stardust Town!
Feower: That's what you were making? I made a model of Stardust Town as well.
Seofon: But you're making Mugen and your other siblings, right? I bet you're forgetting one of the most important parts: yourselves.
Seofon: Everyone's going to be so upset. That's why I went ahead and made models for the two of you.
Feower: Don't tell me you made those just so you could give them to us?
Seofon: Yep. Should be perfect as souvenirs to bring back home, no?
Feower: Well... I guess so. I'm sure Tien will be happy... too...
Seofon: Ooh, let's have a look! What did you make, (Captain)?
Choose: The plaza back in Zinkenstill.
Seofon: Ooh, it looks like such a peaceful place. So this is where you grew up, huh?
Choose: My room on the Grandcypher.
Seofon: Wow, you really filled in the details! The desk and the bed look very realistic!
Seofon: Ah, that would make a perfect souvenir for this trip. If we have time later, I'd like to see the castle town for myself!
Seofon: Wha... You're not telling? But why! I saw you show Lyria earlier!
Seofon: Oh, are you saving it for when it's in the dome? Gotcha. Then I look forward to seeing it when we come to pick it up tomorrow!

Feower: Everyone's made excellent progress, I see. Well, all except one person.
Feower looks past Seofon to where Seox is sitting quietly by himself.
Seox: ...
Feower: Seox, your hands haven't been moving for a while. Are you planning to make anything at all?
Seox: I don't know what to make.
Vyrn: Anything's okay! It could be a place you've visited before, or a place you wanna go to someday!
Seox: I don't have any place I especially want to craft into a physical form. And I don't know what Estalucia looks like.
Lyria: Hm, let's see...
Lyria: Then how about something from this trip?
Seox: This trip?
Workshop Staff: Ah yes, many people do that. Will you be going to see the fireworks festival tomorrow?
Lyria: Oh! There's going to be fireworks?
Workshop Staff: Yes, it's the first time they're putting it on. They're holding it at the river that runs along the hot spring district.
Vyrn: A fireworks festival, huh! Can't miss it now, can we, (Captain)?
Lyria: Hehe. Maybe that'll give you an idea for what to make, Seox!
Seox: Yeah.
Workshop Staff: In that case, feel free to use this firework-patterned sheet. It's something we made as a sample, but if that's all right with you, you can have it!
Seox: Ah. Then I'll try making something with this.
After finishing up at the workshop, (Captain) and company take a stroll down the district's main street.
Lyria: I was so focused that I didn't realize I was this hungry! Should we get something to eat?
Seofon: Great idea! I hear dinner's going to be a grand event though, so be sure not to eat too much before then.
Lyria: Okay! Since we had the hot springs manju earlier, maybe next we can try the grape—
Lyria: Eep!
While Lyria is immersed in her thoughts of food, she bumps into a young man passing by. (Captain) hurries to reach out and catch her.
Passerby: ...
Lyria: I-I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking...
Vyrn: That surprised me... Are you okay, Lyria?
Lyria: Yes, I'm fine. (Captain) caught me just before I fell.
Lyria: Did you see the person I bumped into just now? Didn't he remind you of someone?
Vyrn: Really? I didn't notice.
They turn to look back at the stranger, but the crowds of people obscure their view.
Despite their curiosity, (Captain) and company decide to head on to the shops in search of something to fill Lyria's empty stomach.
