January 12, 1867.
Namanga, a small place at the border of Kenya and Tanzania.
An expedition team is progressing northward within Namanga, led by a self-taught explorer from the German region, Henriette.
Henriette had always loved hearing adventurous tales from the elders in her hometown, longing to explore like those story protagonists, so she dreamed of adventures around the world as she grew up, seeking excitement and novelty.
The first destination Henriette chose was Africa, as Africa was the most mysterious place in contemporary Europe. Unfortunately, Henriette didn't have any money to buy a ticket to Africa.
Fortunately, at that time Ernst was recruiting in the German region for people to explore the East African colony, and Henriette signed up.
Henriette, like Captain Arman, was among the earliest members of the East African colony mercenary team.
