All right, "Come at me, fishes!" is a fantastic line for Fie. That ends up being the deciding factor in choosing Fie to accompany New Class VII to Lamare. Once we go through the teleportation stone, we find ourselves in Avon Hills, which is new to the crew (except for Ash, naturally). Ash lampshades how absurd and yet convenient it is to be able to teleport not only themselves but the Panzer Soldats. Then he recommends that they head to Milsante first, thinking they can pick up some intel on Leeves and Grenville since a lot of visitors pass through the area.
There's a road blocked off by a gate. Ash thinks there was a cave-in nearby a few years ago, and so they sealed it off, but I imagine we'll go that way eventually! Some of the enemies around here are kind of annoying because they keep charging and causing Faint. We find a Trial Chest for Kurt/Altina, and it powers up Kurt's Brave Order.
Milsante has a cool town theme and a vibe that reminds me a bit of Legram, probably because of the lake. We're told by a lady named Diana that Grenville has a big conscription office and heightened security at the moment, so that seems like a stay away for now. Plus, it's not inside Lamare, so it wouldn't have the singularity we're looking for anyway. However, she says there's a student helping out at the inn, so we should check it out. We find Sidney there, and he tells us that Maya, Gustaf, Sandy, and Leonora are all in the area, too. They headed off to Raquel to gather intel shortly before we arrived, naturally. Fie gets a call from Sara and Elliot, but there's interference, so she tries to find a better signal.
Then suddenly there's a creepy woman standing right behind us. She calls herself a traveling fortune teller (Beryl?), and she predicts we'll reunite with an old friend here, but we won't be driving any stakes. Everyone is shocked by the accuracy of her fortune telling as Fie comes back, but then they look around for the fortune teller, she's GONE, whoa, scary.
