>>20095854Starting it that way is the most fun, tbdesu. You run into Iji on the road there most likely and he just says "Hey, don't go to that creepy manor". Then you just head into the manor and start poking around because someone told you not to. Then you fight like, several packs of wolves, a platoon of ghost knights, 8 dozen monster hands, a mageknight on horseback and an illusory dragon and you just show up at Ranni's doorstep, and you may not even know who Ranni is by that point. She asks what some random-ass tarnished is doing in her spooky witch tower and your only response is "I dunno" after which point she concludes your meeting must be fated by the stars or something. She sees you as this random weirdly strong murder hobo and thinks "I can work with this" and then you end up marrying her.
