Synopsis :

A "trap" was wandering around Viron and beating up Taikbin who wanted him to play with his elephant. His stage name was Friede, who was the lead vocalist of a band in Vespanola. He thought he wouldn't be recognized in the New Continent, so he wanted to explore without being bothered by fans.

Friede annoyed a griffon with his out-of-tune lute, then tried to write a song in a corridor full of killer robots. You got Andre to make a mask for Friede, who then visited Auch after being inspired about freedom by Leonardo Rio.

Friede got mobbed by his fans, then Rio asked him to sing his song Freedom in a concert at the central square of Auch. After some preparations, the concert was a failure, losing Rio 100 million Feso. Friede decided to share the financial burden by taking part-time jobs.

You collected some manuscripts for him, but his manager ran away with the money. Rio guilt-tripped him into joining your family in exchange for Furuhollen family's sponsorship of his band. He refused to join weaklings, so you pounded his ass into submission. Rio later revealed the whole thing was a setup by Ortega.
