Hmm you need to rescue the merchant's companion first in order to unlock the sub-locale menu. Your exploration experience needs to be above 2 and then you need to rescue the Merchant's companion.
How did you get that task? You shouldn't be able to get it that early

Thanks for that! I went and fixed it up for you, please download it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TylAhbYNes4DiSrt5iUZpAxVgNavP_f7/view?usp=shari...
Let me know when you have it downloaded and I'll remove the link
I think it's caused by a bug with you running out of time on the day where you have the conditions met to see the merchant. I'll have that fixed in the next patch

My current exploration experience is 4, but I have yet to meet a merchant's companion once...
