On a bright, sunny afternoon, Guest notices that Gowther is missing from the Boar Hat. After heading outside and searching through the Liones Kingdom square and the surrounding village, not even a single strand of his red hair is to be found.

As the sun begins to set, Guest turns back to return to the tavern. Then, suddenly, there he is—Gowther is sitting on a distant bench, engrossed in a thick book. He definitely wasn't there before. With a slightly pouting expression, Guest approaches him.
