Despite saying otherwise, Hikari's group ended up in front of the Ocean Explorers Guild. As they entered, the elf noticed all of the model ships decorating the walls. Many of the people inside were dressed like sailors who were ready to go on a voyage. As she graced the counter with her presence, Hikari got the usual stares and reaction from the receptionist.
"An elf? What are you doing so far away from the forest? Are you a princess?" The young woman asked.
An elderly woman tapped on the girl's shoulder from behind. "Hey, don't be rude. Remember your training."
"R-right," the girl said, looking back towards Hikari and her group. "I'm sorry. I'm Mellana. I can help you with anything related to our guild."
Hikari smiled and waved the girl off. "Don't mention it. I get it all the time. A young woman such as yourself should be curious. It's a healthy curiosity that keeps exploration alive, wouldn't you say so?"
"Hmm? Oh, yes! Is there anything I can help you with?"
