The Park of the Bluebird

Omega almost spent it all on bread... That was close...

How is it? Is it enough? Can Omega get in?

Is Omega allowed inside?

So this is the museum...!

How is it, Cube? Does it smell familiar?

There must be lots of new friends here!

Long, long ago, even further back than the so-called Age of Darkness, there was civilization in this world.

Who were these people? With what thoughts did they walk this earth?

We may never truly know.

But each gift they left behind serves as a tiny lantern, shining through the veil of time.

And with the cooperation of the Monolith Order, we've gathered those lanterns for a brief moment here at the Welsh Museum of All Things.

Step beyond time and into the world of ancient civilization!

B-but...! How could a lowly 117th Saintess dare speak the spirit's name so casually...!

Hey, miss! What's your name?

Oh, w-where are my manners! I-I'm Elisa, the 117th Saintess of the Monolith Order!

So you can call Omega just Omega, okay?

What an honor, to be addressed by name by the Star Piercer's spirit, apostle of Lord Gaph...

If only Saintess Muriel were here... she'd be so happy...

Anyway, Omega's gonna go look at that thing!

Would you like a guided tour?!

I-I've been assigned to act as a guide for visitors!

And if I must give one... then surely the first should be reserved for the Star Piercer's spirit...

See the two rectangular slots carved into it?

According to research, the interior of these slots was likely designed to heat up.

Which means, when you think about it logically, this relic was used to...

But... It doesn't really seem like a friend who can talk.

...Mm.

Omega wants to see the others!

One side is made of glass, and there's a disc inside.

Long ago, when this relic was still functional, that disc inside would spin round and round.

Maybe you put food in it, it goes "vrrm", and it gets warm?

And then it gets even tastier!

Ancient civilizations may seem mysterious, but they were built by people just like us.

Such sorcery that defies the laws of nature would have been beyond them.

Namely... a figurine display stand.

Then maybe this one can't talk? Maybe it can't think either...?

Hmm, anything else...?

That's actually all the relics that are on display...

Hmm...

Hey, isn't there anything else?

You and Cube Palace are tr-truly special cases!

Smuggling out a sacred relic, down 35 ranks. Losing Cube Palace, down 55 ranks. Conflicts with the Journey Captain, down 15 ranks. Damaging church property: down 5 ranks...

And for awakening the Star Piercer's spirit, up 110 ranks!

Which means you're so precious you single-handedly covered for all of Saintess Muriel's wicked schemes!

Omega's precious! Amazing!

...

So... does that mean there aren't more like Omega anywhere?

So it's just Omega and Cube Palace, then...

...

Omega's gonna go. Goodbye...

Maybe it's just the two of us in the whole world.

But it's okay. At least you're here with me.

Oh, Cube! Let's go to the Monolith Order too!

Elisa said the old men there might know more!

Expanding the operational radius further crosses the line from impulsive behavior into malfunction.

Proposal. Effective immediately, cease scouting and return.

It's not a malfunction, Cube! We went out to play together!

Question. What tactical benefit can be gained from such action?

That I made lots of friends?

Omega met Trish... and Elisa!

To safeguard the current civilization against the world's destruction.

Yet Omega Control wastes energy on meaningless wandering and friend-making, rather than on training or function recovery.

Self-diagnostic prompt: Does this action contribute to Omega Control's designed objective?

Such behavior is a malfunction. A side effect of high-level processing.

It-it is too! It does help!

Friends... friends make things fun, and, and...

Omega's gonna ask her friends and come back!

Don't move! Omega will be right back!

The opportunity has come sooner than expected.
