==Dialogue==
;(First interaction)
:Gertie: Ah, you're back. How did it go? Are you tired? How did Oleg treat you?
: He was nice to us.
::Gertie: Haha, that's true! Although Oleg usually looks quite serious, he takes good care of everyone.
: My legs are so sore after running around for the whole day...
::Gertie: Haha... With great power comes great responsibility!
:Gertie: Well, you must be exhausted after running around the whole day. Take a rest in your room. I'll bring the food over when it's ready!
: You are very nice.
: Thank you.
:Gertie: Hahaha, you're welcome! We are all friends now that you're staying at the Goethe Grand Hotel!
:Gertie: Oh! I almost forgot... How do you find the bed and pillow? And what about the room temperature? Is the Geomarrow Furnace working fine? 
:Gertie: If you need anything, please let me know!

;(Subsequent interactions)
: Can we talk...?
::Gertie: Sure. I'm not too busy right now.
:: What dishes would you recommend?
:::Gertie: Dishes? Check the food review book on the wardrobe and see what interests you. They are all my masterpieces!
:::Gertie: ...Well, basically everything.
::: Wild Herb Soup?
::::Gertie: Yes, moss in the cave is the main ingredient. It is refreshing, sour and sweet, and especially good to open your appetite. Although it doesn't look too appealing, the taste is just fine according to our customers' feedback.
::::Gertie: However, the moss is really not easy to dig. The dish is not always available...
::: Iron Pot Braised Olm?
::::Gertie: Ah, not this one... look at the one below — this is the modified version! We specifically use an iron pot to braise olm meat. That way the meat becomes really tender... I learned it from a book, hahaha.
::::Gertie: People love this dish. It should be available very soon. I can cook some for you if you are hungry.
::: Candied mushrooms with pepper?
::::Gertie: Oh, it's a cold dish, as an appetizer.
::::Gertie: Can you eat spicy food? I use hammer pepper powder to enhance the flavor. Don't try this if you can't take spicy.
::: Rat Jelly?
::::Gertie: Well... I've renamed this Flavorful Jelly! This is a specialty of Boulder Town. Highly recommend!
::::Gertie: Don't get scared away by its original name... Hahaha.
::: Any other dishes...
::::Gertie: That's all for now... The rest of the dishes don't come out very nice. I'm still working on them. I'm so sorry.
:: Do you usually have a lot of guests?
:::Gertie: Many people come here for our food. But not many people stay in our hotel...
:::Gertie: After all, most of our guests are from Boulder Town. People would gather here after work to chill and chat with each other. It's pretty lively.
:::Gertie: I'm the owner and also the chef of the hotel! Many people come here because of my cooking.
:::Gertie: You outsiders are certainly very well-traveled. Let me know if you have any preferences for food, maybe I can also learn something from you!
:: Is this hotel under the administration of Wildfire?
:::Gertie: Hahaha! What do you think Wildfire is?
:::Gertie: Wildfire is just a peacekeeping organization started by people in the Underworld after the withdrawal of the Silvermane Guards. If there is a relationship between us... I would probably say they are our guests.
:::Gertie: The people who join Wildfire are all kindhearted, good folk. Oleg wouldn't let any lazy good-for-nothings join. I have a nephew who works for Wildfire, he says they are really busy every day.
:::Gertie: Speaking of which, Oleg is also our regular customer. "Iron Pot Braised Olm," our signature dish, is his favorite. You should try it!
:: Can you tell me about the Goethe Hotel in Overworld?
:::Gertie: Sure! Let me think where I should begin with...
:::Gertie: I'll start with the Goethe family! After all, both hotels are our family business. It is said that our family was already here before the Eternal Freeze. We had a good relationship with Alisa Rand, the Supreme Guardian.
:::Gertie: Our family used to be very influential. Have you heard of the Landau family? I guess we were similar to what they are today!
::: Wow, a prestigious family!
::::Gertie: Hahaha, that's all in the past. It's not worth mentioning.
::: I do know the Landau family.
::::Gertie: Really? Now you know the Goethe family too. Congratulations! Hahaha.
:::Gertie: After that, several scoundrels in the family lost all of our wealth. Fortunately, later on, someone revived our family business and they opened a hotel in the Underworld.
::: I didn't know it had such a long history...
::::Gertie: True. Hundreds of years. My parents never told me the details. They just said this hotel was a legacy from my ancestors.
::: Then why is there another one in the Overworld?
::::Gertie: Be patient! I was about to talk about that.
:::Gertie: As our hotel's business grew, some people wanted to expand the business to the Overworld.
:::Gertie: That Goethe must be very talented to be able to buy a shop in the busiest area of the Administrative District! That's how the Goethe Hotel in the Overworld was started.
:::Gertie: However, our family was divided ever since then, and now there are two separate branches in the Overworld and Underworld.
::: Do you know Old Goethe from the Overworld?
:::Gertie: Of course! Although our family was divided, we do keep in touch. We hold family gatherings during festivals such as the Solwarm Festival.
:::Gertie: As for the Old Goethe you mentioned... According to seniority, we are actually the same generation, hahaha!
:::Gertie: But we haven't been able to get together since the Overworld and the Underworld were blocked. It's been many years...
:: That's all.
: Thank you. I shouldn't keep you.
::Gertie: No worries. You are now my guest since you are in the Underworld. If you need anything, just let me know!

;(Included in subsequent interactions, upon completing )
: How have things been?
::Gertie: You've got great timing! Why, I just got a letter from a relative up in the Overworld. It's been years since I heard from them. Time really flies...
:: Could you not get letters before?
:::Gertie: Yeah, ever since the Supreme Guardian blockaded the Underworlds, nobody was allowed to go back and forth between them — not even the mail.
:::Gertie: It's been almost ten years, and I've finally received my first letter... Looks like Belobog is back, bay-bee! Check it out, my relative even said in their letter, "The Supreme Guardian is lifting the blockade soon"...
:: What does the letter say?
:::Gertie: Ah, there's lots to go over in this letter. But besides all the family gossip, there's some big news! Check it out, they said here, "The Supreme Guardian is lifting the blockade soon"...
::Gertie: If that's the case, I'm gonna take a few days off, pack up my things, and go up to the Overworld to see some family! Hahaha.
::Gertie: Ah, after all these years, I can finally go up... all these years...

;(After completing feedback form found in Goethe Grand Hotel's Cheap Room)
:Gertie: Yo, have you finished your work today? I just made a pot of mushroom soup... Take a break first and come try it later!
: I filled out a service rating card.
::Gertie: Really? That's great! I didn't expect a busy bee like you to have the time. Thanks a lot, really.
::Gertie: I'll take that, then — thanks loads, (Trailblazer)! Your opinion is highly regarded, and your feedback will definitely help improve the quality of our service in this boutique hotel.
::Gertie: Oh yeah, go ahead and have these! And I won't take no for an answer... They're just a few small things that have been building up around here, and I haven't been able to give them away. Hope to see you next time.
