I think you would have to somehow expand of one byte or rewrite that data :
By what you are saying, you might already know that the start of the string is the third byte(91) and ends by 00. I don't know what the first two bytes are however.
As you can see, all the data is squeezed so there is no extra room:
Here are some pointer I found that are related to that data:
For "Relic", you could always rewrite the data contained in C3/37E3 somewhere else in the C3 bank (there is some empty space at the end of the bank) and change the pointer at C3/372D. Those pointer is used here (C3/31F7) and then you jump to the writing subroutine($69BA):
I think it would work by I never tried it and I'm not very good at assembly but from what I checked it seem logic. If some menu words take less space than what they are originally, you could also squeeze the data but change the pointers as well.
Edit: You should back up your hack before attempting it in cases I'm not right.
