A Golem's Duty
Before heading for the Oarlyegrande Skydom, (Captain) and crew drop by the Erste Kingdom to return Lloyd. Orchis suggests everyone take a few days off in Erste before departing, sparking Adam to begin preparations to receive their guests. However, Orchis tells Adam to take some time off as well. The golem only agrees after (Captain) and the others ask him to head into town with them the following day.
Before (Captain) and crew set out for the Oarlyegrande Skydom, they make a stop at the Erste Kingdom.
They arrive to return Lloyd, whom they successfully retrieved after battling Zwei and the Violet Knight.
Lloyd: ...
Adam: I detect no trace of Akasha. It appears that the primal beast has completely left him.
Orchis: (Captain), thank you so much for representing Erste...
At Orchis's grateful bow, (Captain) shyly says, "It was no problem."
Vyrn: Yeah, don't worry about it! It was something we had to do anyway.
Lyria: We couldn't let someone use Akasha for their own gain like that...
Adam: Your kindness certainly knows no bounds... Now that business has concluded, where are you headed to next?
Choose: To the Oarlyegrande Skydom.
Orchis: The Oarlyegrande Skydom! Where the master of the Seven Luminary Knights awaits...
Adam: So the time has finally come for you to face the True King.
Vyrn: Do you happen to know anything about the guy?
Adam: My apologies, but I'm not acquainted with the man. I only know of the rumors surrounding his imposing rule.
Adam: Based on those rumors, he is not a man to be trifled with.
Adam: But you will press on regardless, I'm sure. I'll be praying for your safety and good fortune on the journey ahead.
Orchis: Whatever happens, never lose faith!
Vyrn: Heheh, we can handle a big baddie or two after all we've been through!
(Captain) and Lyria nod alongside Vyrn's words.
Seeing their determined expressions, Orchis and Adam exchange small smiles.
Orchis: You won't be departing right away, will you?
Orchis: Your trip to Oarlyegrande will most likely take a while...
Orchis: It would be nice if we could find a way to thank you before you leave, especially after everything you've done for us.
Adam: Now that matters in Erste have stabilized, we are able to receive guests.
Adam: Should you find it agreeable, we can provide you with lodgings and anything else you need to rest and recuperate for a few days.
Lyria: Oh, thank you so much! (Captain), we can stay for a little bit, can't we?
Choose: It'd be rude to say no, right?
Lyria: Yay! I have so much I want to talk with you about, Orchis!
Orchis: And I, you. I want to hear all about your journey so far.
Lyria: Of course, I'd love to share! We just have to let Katalina and the others know we're staying first!
Adam: Well then, I shall see to the necessary arrangements for your stay. Please, enjoy yourselves.
At Adam's command, the soldiers standing by scatter to carry out his orders.
Vyrn: Thanks, Adam! Orchis! We'll be back real quick!
Adam: I cannot recall the last time we were able to receive guests in our home.
Adam: I shall make sure their rooms and meals are properly arranged.
Orchis: Why don't you leave those tasks to someone else? You should also take the occasional break.
Orchis: Besides, this is a rare opportunity to spend some time with (Captain) and the others.
Adam: I'm afraid not. As prime minister, it is my duty to personally take care of such esteemed guests.
Orchis: Not this again...
Adam: Hmm? What is it?
Orchis: You never spare an ounce of consideration for yourself.
Adam: Whatever do you mean? If you find I am lacking in some manner, please let me know.
Orchis: You're very insistent that our friends get some rest, but have you ever taken some time off for yourself?
Adam: I... am a golem. I don't feel exhaustion and therefore do not require rest.
Adam: As long as I undergo periodic maintenance, you have nothing to worry about.
Orchis: Really now? The other day, I actually heard one of the researchers grumbling about a certain prime minister not stopping by often enough for inspections.
Orchis: I understand you can handle minor external repairs, but what about internal ones?
Adam: Any outstanding issues that do not interfere with day-to-day activities can be delayed for another day. Other matters of attention take priority.
Orchis: I know more than anyone else that I still have a long way to go before I can handle more responsibilities, but still, you—
Adam: ...!
At Adam's surprised glance, three sheepish figures peek their heads in.
Lyria: S-sorry for eavesdropping...
Vyrn: After we finished chattin' with everyone, a buncha soldiers came up and said they'd take care of fixing up the ship...
Lyria: They told us we could choose any room to stay in, but we weren't sure which...
Adam: As they said, you are free to select any room to your liking.
Vyrn: S-seriously? But some of those rooms are way too big for one person...
Adam: You may use even a large room for just yourself, if that is what you wish.
Vyrn: Someone pinch me... Oh, but I'll still be turning in for the night with you, (Captain)!
Adam: Well, Your Majesty, I shall take my leave and handle our meal preparations.
Adam: I will also adjust your schedule accordingly, so you may enjoy your time with everyone free of worry—
Choose: But we want to talk with you too.
Adam: With... me?
Lyria: Yeah! We've never had a chance to sit down and talk with you, Adam!
Vyrn: Now that you mention it... All our time together was spent fighting against Akasha and the Holy Erste Empire and stuff...
Adam: While that is true, I still have business to attend to today—
Orchis: Will you be free tomorrow?
Adam: I'm afraid I already have—
Orchis: I can take over for you tomorrow. I might not be perfect at handling things yet, but I can always ask Freesia for help.
Orchis: Besides, it's the duty of the prime minister to entertain his esteemed guests, isn't it?
Orchis: As a golem too, your top priority is to put a smile on everyone's faces.
Adam: You speak the truth... However, are you certain I'm up to the task?
Adam: I'm not equipped with any functions for providing stimulating conversation...
(Captain) assures Adam that he is more than up for the task, then suggests that they spend tomorrow walking through town.
Adam: Ah, I see. If it is a guide you wish for, then I can introduce you to a more suitable candidate—
Orchis: Adam.
Adam: Very well... Let us head into town together, then.
Orchis: (Thank you.)
Adam nods his head, resigned to his fate. Behind him, Orchis subtly winks at the crew.
Returning the wink with a smile, (Captain) thinks that tomorrow can't come soon enough.
