Lollo Campaign I

A real-time exchange rate, plus a 0.02% variable fee, plus 10% GST, and a courier fee… What the actual... Oh! If it isn't my old friend, Rover! Unbelievable, we meet again!

So, do you still remember the trial "Lollo Navigator"? I navigated my way to Ragunna with it, and it turned out to be incredibly useful. It even sparked a new idea! Care to hear about it?

Alright, picture this: You see something you want, but it's unavailable where you live. Or maybe you find it, but the price is inflated beyond reason. Or maybe the price is acceptable, but you don't have the luxury of time to get it yourself…

Where there's a need, there's a market! That's why I came up with a new campaign called "Lollo Errand"!

Haha, exactly! The time I've spent on it has already paid off. I've already completed several orders!

Right now, I'm handling an order for some flour from Ragunna. An astute client discovered the price here is half of what they pay in Jinzhou, so they've been buying flour from Ragunna for quite a while!

Amazing, right! They used to get the flour from a mysterious man wearing sunglasses, but he told them his ship was lent to someone else, so no errands for now…

But later, they found out about Lollo Logistics's new service and reached out to me for help. That's how this all came together! Interested in joining me this time, Rover? Buy 10 bags of flour, and you'll earn a nice errand fee in return!

Wonderful! The customer has already made their payment, and I'll transfer it to you right away.

By the way, you might want to check out the Gondola Market. I hear they've got a special fortified flour. I'll be waiting for you here!

Here you are, Rover!

Right on time. I just received a new order from… well, a mysterious madame.

She needs an ingredient for her skincare and happens to know that Heliobane Fungia is quite moisturizing, so she asked us to help.

Hmm… she may have her own method for handling it. Maybe you can just see what she does when you deliver the order.

I'm counting on you, my friend!

Well, well, I didn't expect the esteemed Laureate to deliver my order in person.

Surprised, are we? I wear masks, so there must be... something they rest upon, yes? Though not everyone is fortunate enough to lay eyes on it...

Ah, that expression again... how delightful. Hehe, perhaps there's more to me than you realize.

Have a pleasant day, Rover.

Rover! Oh dear, you won't believe this!

The freight insurance of the item we're delivering today is worth a billion! I can't even imagine how much the actual item must cost... probably a number I could never earn in my lifetime!

No idea. Based on the tiny package, it could be a precious gem? We need to be extremely careful with this one...

Safe delivery!

Oh, my package has finally arrived!

Let me check. Hmm, looks perfect, no damage at all...

Very well! This will be my dinner tonight!

Ha, indeed it is! I found it so lovely when I first saw it. Too bad I couldn't get it myself since I was busy with my business. You've been a great help!

Just look at its gleaming shell and perfect size. It must taste divine... Couldn't have asked for better.

Thank you so much! This package really made my day!

Phew... Thanks for your timely aid.

Hmph, I didn't expect a robbery to happen right after launching the campaign... I'm counting on you today, as always.

The items on the list are... jewelry and perfume. But why is this package so heavy? Don't tell me the jewelry is weighed by the kilo, not the carat?

Anyway, we need to be extra careful when delivering them, Rover!

Thank you for your... Oh, it's you, {Male=sir;Female=miss}. I remember seeing you with Lady Carlotta before.

Thank you for the prompt delivery. It's exactly what Lady Carlotta needed.

Good day to you, {Male=sir;Female=miss}.

Rover! Rover! Something's off here... PLEASE SAVE ME!

Sounds like Maji is in trouble... I'd better go lend a hand.

HELP! Leave my package alone!

Oh, what should I do... Oh, Rover! Thank goodness you're here!

I'm not sure. It was already here when I arrived, with this note...

Seems like this is the situation now... Any ideas?

Maybe... but are there any rules for this Averardo Vault when it comes to accepting Echoes? They can't just take in any Echoes off the street, right?

Perhaps we should ask around. Do you know anyone who works at the Vault, Rover?

Excellent! Now we've got a chance to help Bakethoven! We'll wait here while you check with your friend!

Understood. I'll have two plans ready for you to review today.… Yes, everything on the list will be completed by the deadline.

And... Hm, Rover? When did you get here?

Sorry... I have a deadline tomorrow and things are tight. Do you need something?

Go ahead. I'm waiting for things to move forward anyway. Ask me whatever you need.

So, you met an oven Echo that wants to visit the Vault's Echo Depository, right? Got it.

Every Echo or piece of artwork needs to be appraised to see if it's valuable enough for the Vault. Is there anything particularly notable about this Echo?

Especially large… Well, I don't think the Vault has a shortage of large Echoes.

Or maybe it's particularly talented? You see, talent is something the Vault looks for too.

Sure. I'll be available tomorrow after I wrap up my current job. You can find me here if you need anything.

Rover! How's it going? Any news on Bakethoven's chance to enter the Vault?

I see… So, what should we do now?

Let's head to the Vault tomorrow. You said you'd prefer to live a short but meaningful life, right? From where I stand, making food for others seems like a pretty meaningful thing to me.

(Bakethoven lets out some grateful noises.)

Alright then! Let's meet at the Vault tomorrow! Thanks as always, Rover!

Rover, I've got some great news! Bakethoven has decided to demonstrate its best skill—baking pizza!

I know, right! It's a bit nervous, but with all its years of experience, I'm sure it'll be just fine.

Before we get started, could you get some flour and milk? Can't bake pizza without the right ingredients, after all.

I always trust you to get things done! Once you've got the flour and milk, let's meet up in front of the bank.

Rover, you're here! We're all set.

Hope you don't mind if I watch too. I just finished up with work when you arrived, and I'm genuinely curious to see how this Echo performs.

Haha, of course, you're more than welcome to watch Bakethoven in action!

The appraiser is here as well. Shall we get started?

Wow, this smells incredible! Is this today's special treat?

Such a tempting pizza made by such a talented Echo! I'd love to try it…

Can I have a slice? I missed lunch because of a meeting!

Emm... is that okay?

I think so. The appraiser has probably finished their notes… Mmm, this smells so good.

We should know the result by tomorrow. Thanks to you, we had a special and delicious meal today.

The Vault's standards for accepting Echoes are tough, but... I'm hopeful we'll hear some good news tomorrow.

Thank you all again. You're always welcome to visit the Vault next time. I'll give you a tour if I'm free.

Welcome! Ah, it's you, Rover!

I've heard the buzz! You're helping out Bakethoven with some big project, huh?

Good luck! I'm rooting for you!

Here are some fresh flour and milk that I prepared for you! Go on, take these!

Greetings, my dear friend! How wonderful to see you again.

Haha, you flatter me. Unfortunately, today is my last day in Ragunna. But as people say: "There's always more to the journey!" There will be a next time. Life is long, and there's always something to look forward to.

Well, about Bakethoven, while it is a pity that the Averardo Vault declined its application...

...It still wanted me to thank you and Zani! The Vault staff seemed to really enjoy its pizza, saying it was a hundred times better than the canteen food. Bakethoven felt that it had found its value.

Right? Who says an Echo's worth is determined only by "its place in the Vault?" It's the same with life, really.

Haha, thank you! Just a sudden insight. But there's another good piece of news!

Thanks to Bakethoven's case, Lollo Logistics' reputation for helping Echoes has spread far and wide. That's why our order today comes from another Echo, one who's looking for a little girl named Dora.

I've heard she's been spotted in the city. You might want to start there. I'm sure there's no one better to handle this final order than you, Rover!

Welcome back, my dear friend!

I've already heard the news! You reunited the Tubpup with its owner! A feat worthy of praise. Feels like we've done something good again.

Well, it's almost time for me to head back. Before I leave Ragunna, I want to know what you think of our Lollo Errand campaign.

Ha, at one point it didn't even feel like an errand service anymore. But since everything worked out, all is well! This trip has really given me an appreciation for this Land of Echoes. Quite the fascinating place, wouldn't you say?

Your efforts never go unnoticed. It's always a pleasure working with you. I look forward to whatever adventure awaits us next!

So tired… but I haven't found it. No, can't give up, can't go home...

W-who are you!

Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I was asked by an Echo to find you.

An Echo? C-could it be…?

…Dumdum! Where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere… Where did you go…

So it was trying to find its way back to its owner… and so secretly followed me the whole way?

Thank you, thank you so much! Sorry I was unfriendly earlier, {Male=sir;Female=miss}. Thank you for helping me find Dumdum… Dumdum, you should thank this {Male=gentleman;Female=lady}…

Woof!

I'll take Dumdum home now. Mother has been so worried… I hope you have a wonderful day, {Male=sir;Female=miss}!

You're back already? That was fast!

So you really can get 10 bags of flour for just 5,000 Shell Credits! The client wasn't exaggerating after all!

Well… I wouldn't go that far, but it's definitely the perfect place for my errand business...

Anyway, thank you for your help today! Keep the rewards, and I'll see you tomorrow!
