So how's Ishtar doing? Is she in one of the sleep pods to recover from the shock of losing all those gems?

＠Altera
Very impressive, bounty hunter. I quite enjoyed sitting back with a leg of mutton to eat and watching the show you all put on.
[k]

＠Altera
Zerco even recorded the whole thing. He says he would like to make a sci-fi movie from the footage.
[k]

＠Altera
Apparently, he plans on calling it “Worthless Goddess VS. Grand Duchess of Ice: Showdown on the Frosty Sea.”
[k]

[charaFace E 3]

＠Space Ishtar
That sounds like the title of a monster movie,[sr]not a sci-fi flick!
[k]

[charaFace E 11]

＠Space Ishtar
...Oh, whatever. If you want to make a movie, go ahead. Just make sure you send me residuals if it sells well.
[k]

[charaFace E 28]

＠Space Ishtar
Anyway, what are you going to do about that elevator shaft now that the mining operations have ceased?
[k]

[charaFace D 0]

＠Altera
We will leave it as it is. We trust the goddess will take care of it when the time is right.
[k]

＠Altera
Thanks for all your help.
[k]

[charaFace E 0]

＠Space Ishtar
Aw, it was nothing. We were in the area anyway.[wt 0.7][bgmStop BGM_EVENT_2 1.0][sr]So hey, you wouldn't happen to know a shortcut to any forbidden zones, would you?
[k]

[bgm BGM_EVENT_70 0.1]

＠Space Ishtar
Like, say, one right around[sr]here on the interstellar map?
[k]

＠Altera
...So you seek the Floor of Space.
[k]

[charaFace E 7]

＠Space Ishtar
Then you know about this place?[sr]Have you ever been there?
[k]

[charaFace D 5]

＠Altera
I have not, for we have no business there. But if that is where you wish to go, and time is of the essence, then you should take the Path of Stones.
[k]

[charaFace E 23]

＠Space Ishtar
The Path of Stones?[sr]Do you mean the asteroid belt not far from here?
[k]

＠Space Ishtar
It says here there are black holes and space debris blocking off various routes through it, and it looks impossible to navigate with a standard space map...
[k]

[charaFace E 28]

＠Space Ishtar
But if we can get through, it does look like it could be a shortcut.
[k]

＠Space Ishtar
And while [%1] hasn't said anything[sr]about it, I'm sure [&he's:she's] dying to get home[sr]as soon as [&he:she] can...
[k]

[charaFace E 0]

＠Space Ishtar
So this'll be a good chance to prove [&he:she][sr]made the right choice coming with me!
[k]

[charaFace D 0]

＠Altera
That said, I must warn you that it is a dangerous route, and autopilot will be of no help to you.
[k]

＠Altera
Still, after seeing what you are all capable of, I expect you could make it through there in about the average ninety-minute runtime of a film without even needing the extra time for trailers.
[k]

＠Space Ishtar
Well, I'm sure I'll figure something out.[sr]Thanks for all your help, Altera!
[k]

＠Altera
By the way, are you...
[k]

[charaFace E 23]

＠Space Ishtar
Hm? Am I what?
[k]

[bgmStop BGM_EVENT_70 0.7]

＠Altera
...No, never mind.
[k]

[charaFace D 1]

＠Altera
May the goddess watch over you on your journey.

Once Ishtarin gets back, we can finally do the slingshot maneuver around Big Blue! I can't wait!
[k]

？1：Well, in the meantime, I'd actually like to talk to you.
？2：Then could I ask you something while we're waiting, Jane?

？！

[charaFace C 7]

＠Jane
Oh? What's up? Is it something you[sr]don't want Ishtarin overhearing?
[k]

？1：Why is Space Ishtar an Avenger?

？！

[charaFace C 8]

＠Jane
...
[k]

[charaFace C 7]

＠Jane
Good question! I don't have a clue, either![sr]She doesn't seem like one to me!
[k]

＠Jane
How about you, [%1]? Does she seem like a demon driven solely by her resentment and need for vengeance?
[k]

？1：Not in the slightest.

[charaFace C 8]

＠Jane
Right? Then there's no problem!
[k]

＠Jane
Ishtarin's still Ishtarin,[sr]no matter what class she is!
[k]

？2：I guess you could call her a demon in one sense...

[charaFace C 3]

＠Jane
Oh... You mean how greedy she can be?[sr]Well, there's a reason for that...
[k]

＠Jane
Ever since a little incident years ago...
[k]

＠Jane
...Ishtarin kind of had no choice but to become more,[sr]um...predatory? About money stuff.
[k]

[charaFace C 8]

＠Jane
But don't worry! Deep down, I promise she's a hard worker who's really, reeeaaally earnest!

Oh, by the way, Ishtar, I was wondering what was up with the way you and the Grand Duchess were trading barbs even as you kept the tone polite.

No, it's not that. Ishtarin just used to attend a school for proper young ladies, so she already knows how to handle princesses.

[charaFace E 0]

＠Space Ishtar
But honestly, while I did hate to pass on those gems,[sr]I don't mind letting the Altrium go.
[k]

＠Space Ishtar
I mean, if I took over that operation and started selling it all myself, I'd be no better than Space Shinkageryu, right?
[k]

＠Space Ishtar
A goddess of justice always helps people out, and is compensated for her time with money and gratitude!
[k]

＠Space Ishtar
If I just focused on the money and didn't care who I hurt to get it, I'd be the only one enjoying myself!
[k]

？1：So you admit that you'd enjoy it!

Ishtarin's pretty tough with contracts and payments,[sr]but she's way more relaxed about profit and loss.
