[Audio + Action on Isla Empieza]

Excuse me? Hello? Can anyone understand what I'm saying through this book? I've seen people speaking into these strange books and other people seem to speak back. I'm...really rather confused by this entire place.

Tarouza? Kurokagi? Anyone? What happened after the battle? Did we win? Is that why I can understand all of these people?

[There's a bit of shuffling as he moves through underbrush, emerging near the market area. Screaming immediately starts from everyone who catches sight of him.]

...Well, that was a bit rude. They all ran away. Anyway, back to business. I've been wondering about some other things that seem to be important, here. Perhaps one of the people listening can tell me.

First of all, what is "currency" and how does it work? I've been given little shiny bits of this "currency", but I'm not sure what to do with it.

Second, how does "writing" and "reading" work? It's something you humans do for these book things, correct? I'm...really a bit new to all of this.

Why are you all so large? The humans I know are much smaller. Or have I somehow gotten smaller?

Are you a spirit? Where are you at right now?

Sorry, I'm not familiar with those names, but aye, usually we read and write in books.

As for currency, it's pieces of metal or sometimes paper used as a numerical marker for trade. Since all objects have different values to different people, it makes it a bit easier to haggle. Hold onto it for now, and if you get passage on a ship, you can give it to whoever takes charge of such things so that they can help get supplies, like food or clothes.

As for size, that depends, how tall are you? By my understanding, most people of this world are smaller than I'm used to, but there's bound to be a world where everyone is even smaller than this, eh?

Not everyone here is a human.
