Linde and Frisk ran into Undyne and Monster Kid on a street in the Royal Capital.
Perhaps Monster Kid's courage in stepping forward during Ye Yu's massacre had moved Undyne. In the end, she agreed to Monster Kid's request to learn how to fight from her.
From that day onward, Monster Kid would train with Undyne.
Watching Monster Kid diligently practice magic beside Undyne, Linde couldn't help remarking, "Looks like Undyne's become calmer after everything that happened."

So, although this was their first time meeting North Star, they greeted him quite naturally.

As the kingdom's central district, New Home had quite a thriving economy. Shops of every kind dotted the city, offering a dazzling array of goods.
Luckily, Frisk didn't like
