Provence.
Provence, you're absolutely, positively sure I can't burn this place down to the ground?
All these useless branches and weeds are really getting on my nerves.
This is the tenth time I've heard you complaining this hour, princess.
Besides, I originally planned on just checking out some stuff alone while collecting some samples for Eyjafjalla along the way.
You offered to join me in this investigation yourself, so nobody's forcing you to stay if you can't handle it.
Right now, the others are having fun at the beach. You should join them instead of going through this mess here with me.
I can't leave you alone, not with your tendencies.
Even though you're a Catastrophe Messenger, only my knowledge can keep you safe in this kind of fire hazard area.
All the more reason we can't set this entire mountain on fire.
Even though I know this is your specialty... we're on vacation this time. It'd be best to keep a low profile.
Otherwise, Amiya and the Doctor will end up having to clean up the mess again.
Fine, for their sake, I'll try to put up with this a bit longer.
Hey, do you see that black-colored outcropping over there?
Looks like it might be obsidian. Let's go check it out.
Careful now, don't just go running around. And especially, don't set stuff on fire.
Phew... Keeping her in check is more tiring than the investigation itself.
But something's off... Even if it's summer, this kind of heat... doesn't seem natural.
Big tail.
...
Hey, Big tail!
Hmm? Wait, you mean me?
Did you notice a weird smell earlier?
Now that you mention it...
Hmm. Very faint, but it's definitely there.
The volcano is expelling more gas than I expected, and the test rune Eyjafjalla gave me is reacting.
By the looks of things, this place is going to go up in flames even without my help.
Something doesn't seem right about this volcano...
But the most we can do is turn to Eyjafjalla for confirmation.
Over here, we can get some samples from this outcropping.
Ha!
There, that should be enough!
We can do some preliminary tests on this sample with our equipment before sending it back to Rhodes Island.
Eyjafjalla should be able to turn the test results around right away.
Just based upon how this obsidian feels to the touch... I can't say for sure, but there's something different about it.
Also taking the smell and the temperature around here into consideration...
I can't say for certain, but...
What are you trying to say? Spit it out already!
Come at me! What are a few slugs going to do?! I'll take you all out right here!
Curses, the hem of my skirt got stuck...
C-can anyone hear me?! Why are there so many Originium slugs here?!
N-no! Stay away from me! Someone help me!
Someone's calling for help! It's coming from the beach!
Let's hurry over there!
Hey, wait for me!
