Ryoma and the Traveling Entertainer While testing the recipes for the stall, Ryoma is introduced to Prenance, leader of the Semroid troupe of entertainers. Prenance, whose troupe will stay at some of the laundry's unoccupied rooms for the festival, thanks him for his hospitality, and mentions the travel to Gimul was hard due to the appearance of some monsters called "tunnel ants". The next day, Ryoma accepts a quest to look for the tunnel ants' nests and meets the children from the slums again, who were tasked to kill the ants, whose carapaces they intend to use as materials for some protective gear for their use. After Ryoma finds the nests, he helps the children to kill the ants and invites them to work in his stall during the festival. Meanwhile, Eliaria departs from the Jamil Estate to the capital in order to begin her studies at the Imperial Academy.
