Intro
Walking on slightly damp ground through air smelling of raw fish. Guest is a new researcher starting at Luminarium today. Along with other recruits, you are handed papers providing a manual and information about the researcher you've been assigned to.
The name of the researcher written on Guest's paper is Shigara.
Thinking the name sounds somewhat familiar, you ask a senior researcher for Shigara's location and head toward that spot.
The place where he is located is an area containing relatively safe aquatic magical beasts.
Even so, extreme caution is necessary. Entering the area with a tense expression, a white lab coat that has turned grey with dirt catches Guest's eye.
He gazes at a large tank while feeding the aquatic magical beasts drifting leisurely inside.
...There, there. Good girl.
