Stall-Hopping in Namvia
Hearing that Namvia is famous for its culture of stall-hopping, (Captain) and the others invite Robertina to accompany them on a visit. Robertina introduces the crew to various local specialties, and everyone is thoroughly satisfied. When the conversation shifts to Robertina's home village, she agrees to take the crew there for a visit.
(Captain) and the others have arrived in the town of Namvia to hunt monsters and to check out its comedy scene.
The uproar from the King of Manzai Awards comedy competition has died down, and the crew has begun making plans for the next leg of their journey.
However, they've found a certain something that they want to do in town before they leave.
Robertina (Promo) is a crew member
Robertina: I'll say though, I'm glad you've all taken a liking to Namvia.
Robertina: And from the invitation to go stall-hopping... You must've figured out this town is more than just its comedy.
Robertina (Promo) not in crew
???: I'm glad you've all taken a liking to Namvia.
???: And from the invitation to go stall-hopping... You must've figured out this town is more than just its comedy.
Robertina is a tubist in the Sky Philharmonic Orchestra, the oldest orchestra in the sky.
(Captain) and the others met her when they were providing security for the orchestra, and they helped her on her journey to meet the tuba god.
Since that time, she has been traveling with the crew when not performing.
Lyria: Lauphit told us that Namvia is known not only for its comedy but also for its culture of walking around and sampling different food...
Lyria: So we wanted to try it out for ourselves before we left!
Vyrn: We tried lookin' around a bunch, but asking a local what's tastiest is probably our best bet.
Vyrn: So we thought maybe you could help us find something nice, Robertina.
Robertina: Heh-heh... You know me too well. I take my comedy seriously, but I'm even more serious about snacks.
Robertina: Just be warned that once we start, I won't let you be leaving on anything less than a full stomach!
Robertina: And when I say full, I mean bulging! Hope you're ready!
Lyria: Okay! I'm looking forward to it, Miss Tina!
With a high-spirited Robertina leading the way, the group heads into the heart of town.
Robertina: First off, let me introduce you to my personal favorite: briny crackers!
Vyrn: Huh? These just look like briny-bites stuck between rice crackers...
Robertina: That little change makes all the difference! These are briny-bites optimized for eating and walking.
Robertina: Just by adding these super-thin crackers, the briny-bites are tender and tasty, yet crispy and convenient!
Lyria: Right... This way you don't need a plate, and it's easy to eat them with one hand!
Robertina: You're gonna have a bad time if you try to eat these in a hurry, though! I can't tell you the amount of times Mom got mad at me for spilling these on my yukata at festivals...
Robertina: Make sure you don't spill it on your dress either, Lyria.
Lyria: Okay! I'll take my time!
Robertina: All right, then. Next up, let's each use our free hand to eat some nice and warm meat buns!
Lyria: Wow! These meat buns are so soft and delicious!
Lyria: The meat's so tender, I can't stop eating it...
Robertina: Pretty good, right? I get super pumped up whenever I get to snack on these.
Robertina: It's a real bummer when I can't find any, though.
Robertina: Whenever you come to Namvia, you've gotta make sure to stock up on these so you can bring 'em home for your friends and family...
Robertina: It was my dream as a kid to make a bed out of these buns and then sleep on it...
Robertina: Well, it's not like I've given up on that dream, either. Shoot, now that I'm all grown up, maybe I could actually pull it off...
Vyrn: Do you realize how many buns you'd have to buy for that...
Robertina: It doesn't matter! If they're from Namvia, there's no limit to the amount I could scarf down!
Vyrn: I'm not worried about whether you can eat 'em or not!
Robertina: Up next on our tour! It's a shop with freshly-baked cheesecake.
Robertina: It's not technically stall food, but it's really good all the same. Let's go in!
Lyria: Wow, look at this, (Captain)! This cheesecake looks all soft and wobbly!
Robertina: The texture's the same on the inside, too.
Robertina: You think you're only going to eat a slice at first, but before you know it, you've already gobbled down the whole cake. Don't underestimate its power...
Vyrn: Gobble this whole giant thing down? It's startin' to sound like some cursed item...
Vyrn: But what the heck's up with this? They've got some middle-aged guy's face stamped onto the cake.
Robertina: I think it's the face of the guy who made the cake.
Robertina: They'll cover the cake in stamps all over if you ask them, so let's do that!
A few hours pass, and the group is resting on a bench in the plaza, their bellies filled to the brim.
Vyrn: I j-just can't eat anything else...
Robertina: Really? That's sad, Vyrn. Lyria looks like she's just getting started.
Lyria: Yes! All these different shops are filled with delicious treats, so I can't help myself...
Robertina: Yeah, Namvia's a pretty bustling city, so you're not short on options here.
Robertina: I got to come out here every so often as a kid on vacation with my family, and I was always bouncing off the walls about it.
Vyrn: Heh, I figured you would have been here all the time since you grew up on this island, but I guess not.
Lyria: West Varia's a big island, after all.
Lyria: Now that you mention it, the sacred mountain you brought us to before was a long way from Namvia, wasn't it?
Robertina: Yeah, the village that I'm from is basically the sticks compared to Namvia.
Robertina: I was busy working around home, so I didn't get too many opportunities to come here as a kid.
Robertina: But whenever I did, Mom and Dad would let me buy as many snacks as I could carry.
Robertina: And after I got back home, I'd stuff all of the candy into a chest and just bask in the sight of it.
Lyria: Wow, what a wonderful memory!
Choose: I want to hear more of your memories.
Robertina: You wanna hear more? I'd be happy to talk about my village as much as you'd like, but...
Robertina: Hmm, maybe just going there would be better than talking about it?
Vyrn: Now that you mention it, we never stopped at your village when we visited that mountain.
Vyrn: Since we're in the neighborhood, maybe you could show us around!
Robertina: (Captain) looks interested too. Maybe I'll visit a little earlier than I had planned.
Robertina: All right, let's head out to where I grew up!
Choose: I want to visit your village.
Robertina: Well now, how assertive. Already want to meet my folks, do ya?
Robertina: Sure, I like a person who knows what they want.
Robertina: I'll introduce you to them and drop the news.
Robertina: Ma, Pa, this is (Captain), the skyfarer captain I told you about. We're getting hitched!
Lyria: H-hitched!
Robertina: I'm just kidding! You always have the most adorable reactions, Lyria.
Lyria: M-Miss Tina!
Robertina: All right, let's head out to where I grew up!
