After news of the Dunkinson Trading Company's destruction spread, it stirred waves across Islands 6, 9, and 12, Dunkinson's primary business territories.
Law enforcement officers from the Bass Archipelago immediately mobilized, rushing to one Dunkinson shop after another.

This was because they later discovered more information at the residences of Dunkinson's management personnel.
"Keep investigating slowly. It'd be a miracle if you actually found me."
Carlotta grumbled secretly.
She'd only briefly checked the latest developments before withdrawing her attention and returning with Amelia to their inn.
Time to sleep.
...
In the blink of an eye, an entire day passed.
The moon and stars emerge; twilight settled over the archipelago.
