Cremia heard from her little sister that Link helped her guard the farm. While I don't think Cremia still believes in the aliens, she knows there are other dangers around the ranch that warrant trust in Link's abilities to keep people safe. She asks Link to accompany her in the wagon so that she could have someone to talk to on the way into town.
While taking the wagon down the road from the ranch, Cremia tells Link that her father died and that she and her little sister have been put in charge of the ranch. The death of the father is not explained in any great detail, but I have two theories as to how that happened. The first theory is aliens, because as of the previous night, that is a thing. It could be safe to say that the sisters' father fought against the aliens each year and that Romani, being adventurous and extroverted as she is, found out about it. She probably helped him out once or twice, but then the father was killed in one such defense. While I think this father knew about the aliens, the likelihood of being killed by the aliens is pretty slim since Romani seems pretty upbeat about fighting the aliens. As young as she is, I think she'd be pretty distraught if the aliens killed her father in front of her. What happens on the second night is probably a more likely theory as to what happened to the father.
During the trip down the road, Cremia also notes that the moon is falling and she thinks out loud that perhaps her farm is far enough away and shielded by the cliffs that they'll be safe. Her train of thought is broken when she sees a road block ahead. She then takes charge and tells Link to get his bow ready.
As they take an alternate route, two fellows on horses wearing masks give chase, letting out war whoops and brandishing pitch forks while doing so. While the identities of the individuals are not disclosed at this part, traveling to the neighboring farm by day suggests these are the Gorman brothers, a remarkably antagonizing family that seeks to ruin Romani Ranch. In Hyrule, during the events of the previous game, Gorman seizes control of Lon Lon Ranch (Romani Ranch's Hyrule counterpart) after expelling Malon's (Cremia and Romani's Hyrule counterpart) father. Link set things straight then and continues to do so this time as well.
My guess is that Cremia and Romani's father really died while dealing with these bandits in the past. This would suggest why Cremia is much more solemn than her little sister is. It should also be noted that these bandits' masks have glowing eyes just like the aliens, so it is safe to say Cremia imagines Romani's belief in aliens to be a way of coping with these dangerous ruffians. It would also suggest why Cremia and Romani both needed Link's help in overcoming these obstacles. While Romani had her father to help fight the aliens, Cremia needed her father to travel safely through the dangerous territory.
After evading the bandits, Cremia gives Link a mask which she signifies that she recognizes him as an adult. In many ways, this suggests that Link proves to be the man that Romani and Cremia's father was as he aided the family in their father's absence. Link and Cremia go separate ways.
The conclusion of the Romani Ranch adventures will come in the next post.
