Bas (NSI)

"*A professional swimmer, Bas is rude towards other people and dislikes socializing. He spends most of the time around Seafoam Town.*"
– In-game description

**Bas** (バス, *Basu*) is a bachelor in *Story of World: New Sunbeam Island*.

Despite being initially cold and somewhat hostile, Bas is actually an honest boy who spends most of his time wandering the island. As a result, he is a little lonely. Bas tends to get frustrated when someone wants what he should do, thinking it is not graceful to allow them do their work for him. He dislikes socialising and is only looking for ways to stay away from the player. As Claire, the rival for Bas is Serena, who shares his personality.

Bas left Sunbeam Island to continue his research after an argument with his sister. He will return back once these following requirements have been completed:

1. 100,000 Cash worth of items have been sold at Ji-han's Pawn Shop.
2. Ship at least 150 any kind of item (fish, farm products, cooking recipes, etc.)
3. When Serena is in town, the player must be told a fortune by her for 20 times. Afterwards, she will give the player a Magical Stone Tablet, which the latter can cast a spell at own house. The next day, Bas will arrive.

Both are shocked by this and refuse, but Jennifer explains that she has a method for this, explaining that she will help Serena by having her focus on her when speaking.
