   Summary

   Adventurer Ben is a completionist, and there's only one thing left standing in the way of that 100%: Romancing an NPC. Oh, and picking up 10 Common tier flowers, but he could probably finish that on the way.

   Unfortunately, the perfect candidate for this quest turns out to be the most stubborn NPC in the game. Why must the blacksmith be the romance path that had the one cosmetic he lacked? Couldn't it have been literally anyone else?
