It was a bright and sunny afternoon with Rune, Fleur, and Runa taking a stroll through the Venronis market district. They were on a mission to buy some new pots for their base back in Karlet.
The ones they had met an unfortunate end at the hands of Shelly and one of her experiments. However--for some reason, instead of chewing her out, the maids chastised him, and sent him out to buy new pots. That was why, despite the cheerfulness of the two girls at his side, Rune walked in a slump while grumbling his frustrations.
"Mmfgghh... make me do it... frrhtgh it wasn't my fault..."
His incoherent grumbling and sour expression caused Runa and Fleur to giggle, and the latter patted him and the shoulder while calling out to him.
"Cheer up. Rune," Fleur said. "Its a nice day and we are having fun at least."
It turned out there was a festival going on today in Venronis. Nothing major. It was just a trade festival, and many more shops were set up than usual.
