"Hey Wriggle," Grimnír says. "What do you know about the Trident Lunatic?"

"E-eh?" stammers Wriggle. She seems to be spacing out.

"You mentioned that you've seen him a few times before," he says. "Did you encounter him before we met?"

"Ah! Y-yeah, I did!" Wriggle says suddenly. "I don't remember exactly when, but he arrived at the Forest of Magic some time ago. I heard that he was a hermit of some sort, and he preferred to stay away from everyone. He kept wandering around, but he never bothered us, so we just ignored him."

"Hmm," mutters Grimnír.

"That's why I was surprised when Keine came into the forest asking about him," Wriggle continues. "She said that he was attacking travellers passing through the Forest of Magic. We didn't mind her much at first, since it wasn't our problem. Maybe some stupid human just got him angry. They fight over the strangest things."

"Sad, but true," he comments. "Humans can be very foolish."

"That's why I was surprised when he just jumped out and attacked me yesterday," Wriggle says.

"But he didn't hurt you that much, did he?" he asks.

"N-no! It was weird. After beating me, he just left suddenly," says Wriggle. "Then you arrived."

"I see," Grimnír says. "Do you have any suggestions on how to defeat him?"

Wriggle shakes her head.

"Now that I think about it, that guy is ridiculously powerful. He defeated Marisa so quickly, and he didn't even look tired after the battle. I'm not sure what we can do against that kind of strength."

A few minutes pass in silence. Seems like Marisa's attacker will be difficult to subdue. They need to form a good plan. Maybe Dr. Yagokoro and the others can give them more ideas.

Unexpectedly, Wriggle turns to him and smiles.

"Hey Grim," she whispers, "Thanks for stopping me earlier."

"D-don't mention it," replies Grimnír, quickly turning away. Wriggle's smile is breathtaking. He can't stand to look at such a cute sight for much longer. For some reason, the firefly girl looks extraordinarily attractive, and it takes all of his self-control to stop himself from just grabbing her in mid-air and holding the firefly girl against him in a tight embrace. She even smells nice.

Focus. This isn't time for such things.

They are going to arrive at Eientei pretty soon.
[ ] Head straight to Dr. Yagokoro's clinic. You should check on Marisa's condition.
[ ] Go to the dining room. You noticed it this morning.
[ ] Find an empty room somewhere. You can have a private chat with Wriggle.
[ ] Wander around aimlessly. You didn't have time to explore earlier.
