Search for the Lost Map
Sophia dons a new outfit to enter a market that might hold her lost map. She buys a map, but it seems somewhat different from her old one. The merchant tells her that if she goes to the location on the map, she would do well not to reveal she's a priestess.
Sophia not in crew
On their travels, the crew meet a Zeyen priestess named Sophia.
She was on a pilgrimage, a trial bestowed upon her by the high priest of her faith.
Along the way, however, she unwittingly lost her map.
As a result, she decided that the best course of action would be to travel with (Captain) and company to reach her destination.
One day (Captain) and company receive some vital information from Sierokarte.
They learn an antique market in a certain town holds a collection of precious maps.
Suspecting there's a chance they might find Sophia's lost map, they make their way to the location. However, all does not go as hoped.
Sophia: Aww... They kicked me out...
A downcast Sophia walks out from the marketplace to meet (Captain) waiting outside.
Sophia: The moment I stepped in there, everyone looked at me like they'd seen a ghost.
Sophia: They shouted at me and told me to get out. I've never experienced anything like that in my life...
Vyrn: Well, that's weird. We got in just fine.
Sierokarte: Ahh, it must be because you're a priestess, Sophia.
Lyria: Siero! When did you get here?
Sierokarte: Hehe. I have a store in this market; I've been here all day!
Sophia: Um, you were saying this is because I'm a priestess?
Sierokarte: Well, I won't get into the details, but this market's a tad touchy when it comes to the army or religion.
Vyrn: Hmm, okay. Vague, but I guess it isn't the first time I've heard of this kinda thing. All it takes is one bad run-in.
Sophia: Nnn... What do we do? My map could be in there...
Choose: Just change your clothes!
Sophia: Change my clothes?
Sierokarte: Excellent idea, (Captain)! I have a strong feeling that might work!
Choose: Want me to get it for you instead?
Sophia: I wouldn't want to impose... But I guess there's no other—
Sierokarte: Hmm. There might be a better way: all you have to do is change your outfit.

Sophia: Ah. I see...
Sophia: They won't know I'm a priestess if I'm not dressed like one, will they!
Sophia nods in excitement and returns to the Grandcypher to put the plan into action.
Lyria: Ah, she's back! Sophia! Wow...
Sophia: Sorry for the wait, everyone. What do you think?
Sophia: Huh? Wh-what's wrong? Why're you looking at me like that?
Lyria: You sure do! Wow, I hope I can dress like that when I grow up!
Sophia: H-heh heh. Oh, stop... You're making me blush. Hehe.
Choose: You look like a whole different person.
Vyrn: Yeah! No problems getting into that place now!
Sierokarte: Very chic, Sophia!
Sophia: H-haha. Thank you. Oh, I hope I'm not blushing.

Together they head to the antique market.
Their plan works, and Sophia is able to enter the marketplace without incident. After that, however, something peculiar happens.
Merchant 1: Oh! Young lady! You there! Might I interest you in some paintings? They say paintings make your life all the richer!
Sophia: A painting? Well, I've never been too interested, but these look amazing. Maybe just one...
Merchant 2: Lass! What you need be this 'ere premium ceramic artisan pot! It'll bring you happiness!
Sophia: Happiness? Just by having a pot? That sounds really good.
Merchant 3: And might I recommend these fine miniature sculptures! They go well with paintings and pots!
Sophia: I-I guess I might as well...
Merchant 4: Hahaha! That's what I like to see! Here, get some of my wares too!
Sophia: Oh, ohh...
Wincing, (Captain) grabs Sophia by the hand and drags her out of the marketplace.
Sophia: I'm sorry, (Captain)... Thank you for getting me out of there.
Vyrn: Sigh. You know you can just ignore 'em, right?
Sophia: Haha... I tried to, but... I don't know; I felt bad...
Sophia: Besides, they were going out of their way to recommend all that stuff to me.
Sophia: I mean, making my life richer, bringing myself some happiness... Doesn't that sound great?
Vyrn: Oh, come on. They're just saying that! None of that's real!
Sophia: What! R-really?
Lyria: Ahaha... Sophia. You sure are trusting...
Vyrn: Well, anywho, let's not forget why we're here, okay?
Sophia: You're right. We'd better buy that map.
Cartographer: Well, well. Looking for maps are ya? Fancy a look at my shop then?
Vyrn: Hm? You're not trying to pull a fast one on us, are you?
Cartographer: No, no, heaven forbid! I've collected maps from far and wide, new and old, all with my own two feet. They're as authentic as they get.
Cartographer: From treasure maps to charts of every island, I've got what you need.
Sophia: Then do you have a map to the Zeyen holy grounds?
Cartographer: Oh? Interesting tastes you have. But it just so happens I have one of those on hand.
Sophia: R-really? I'll take it!
Cartographer: Here you go! Pleasure doing business!
Lyria: Hehe. Congratulations, Sophia!
Sophia: I can finally get to the holy grounds.
Sophia: Hm? This doesn't look like the map I lost...
Sophia: And there's only one holy ground marked on this.
Vyrn: What!
Vyrn: Hey, what's the meaning of this!
Cartographer: Wha? How am I supposed to know? But that there map is a Zeyen map! I guarantee it!
Sophia: I see... I have heard rumors of there being more than one map...
Sophia: And I don't think my brother was lying to me...
Sophia: So this map must be the real thing!
Vyrn: Sigh. I really hope you're not being too trusting again...
Vyrn: And the next time you go throwin' cash around, make sure you look before you leap.
Sophia: Ahaha... Sorry.
Cartographer: Little lady, I don't want to pry, but could I ask? Are you a Zeyen priestess?
Sophia: Ah... Well...
Sophia: Um... Uhh... You see...
Cartographer: Hahaha! You're not too good at hiding it. Well, it's no surprise. Who else would want a Zeyen map?
Cartographer: Then let me tell you something, as thanks for trusting me.
Cartographer: If you do end up going to the location on that map, you'd best not go there dressed in your priestess garbs.
Sophia: Really? Why not?
Cartographer: Ahh, just trust me. If you don't want to cause a ruckus, remember what I told you.
Cartographer: That's all I can tell ya! Safe travels to you then! I've still got a business to run here!
Sophia: Thank you!
I wonder what all that was about...
I wonder what all that was about...
Sophia's finally gotten her hands on a map, but things seem to be turning out a little different than imagined.
She begins the journey to the location indicated on the map but can't help wonder what the shopkeeper's strange words meant.
