[Commerci Republic] Berry, Mayor of Fish

You found yourself at a small seaside village after crossing Parbell's path. The weather there was gorgeous, so different from dreary Tynerum!
You decided to talk to the locals for more information and found a kind-looking old man in a shabby house. You asked him to tell you about the town, and he heartily agreed.

He introduced himself as Berry, the mayor of the village. He said his little town was north of the Commerci Republic. You decided not to mention you were from Maple World, since you weren't sure how the locals would react.

Apparently, numerous fishing villages were scattered near the Commerci Republic, due to it's location near the sea, but the center of trade was actually San Commerci, the republic capital known for its trade.
You decided to stay a while to gather more information.
