ストーリー中の会話
- (Upon arriving at the Master Control Zone)
- (Trailblazer): (Ruan Mei... a name that's both new... and familiar.)
- (Approach Herta)
- Herta: I thought member #4, Polka Kakamond, had gotten rid of most of the Society members. I didn't have a lot of hope for this... Oh? Look who's here.
- Asta: You're back, (Trailblazer)?
- → There's quite the crowd here today...
- Herta: Of course. This is a summit between three geniuses.
- Asta: It's a special time — all departments are preparing to welcome distinguished guests from the Genius Society. Madam Ruan Mei doesn't like fanfare and probably wouldn't appreciate a crowd to welcome her, so I asked the researchers to keep things simple.
- Herta: I took her to see the portraits of the Society members a few days ago. I wanted to have the researchers make one for her as well, but she declined the offer. I don't get it. Whatever. As long as she's happy.
- Asta: I heard Miss Ruan Mei likes snacks and pastries, so I asked the researchers to prepare some traditional desserts from the Blue. All of them seemed to tickle her fancy.
- → Would I be able to meet Ruan Mei?
- Herta: Of course, go find her yourself. She borrowed the Phase Flame to do some research as soon as she got here — haven't seen a trace of her since.
- → Is Ruan Mei a great person?
- Herta: That's like asking "Is Herta a great person?" The answer is obvious!
- Asta: Miss Ruan Mei is the very image of a scholar. I heard she once took a little vacation on a desert planet. By the time she left, she'd miraculously created a boom in the local ecology!
- Herta: She just wanted somewhere uninhabited to experiment with her "Life Spiral System." Ruan Mei is certainly very talented, but she hardly interacts with anyone. She lives like a hermit. Pity. Anyway. What more needs to be said for someone smart enough to become Herta's research partner, hmm? Hurry up and head out, (Trailblazer). See if you can find her.
- → Where is Ruan Mei right now?
- Asta: I'm not sure, but she doesn't seem to get around much. She spends most of her time between the master control zone and the railway platform. Maybe you can start your search there?
