Inspector

[Inspector]

Judge!

How goes it? I don't think it is easy to meet seven candidates and appraise them.

Ha. Are you done?

You are a fast worker, getting the job done!

Let me have the scoop on the candidates~

-I talked about my impression

of the candidates for prince,

to the Inspector, right away.

I'm sure, I only give clear

and concise facts to him.-

Hmm... is that so? What you've said has helped me a lot. Thank you for your hard work.

By the way, I happened

to hear a rumor about

Prince Eigen Ahrum of the Walter family. Could you appraise all the candidates, one more time? I need this done urgently.

Now the whole picture may change... Others must probably be the same. But I worry about Eigen Ahrum because I can't neglect any rumors about any candidate.

Okay, so... please go in there one more time.

What's wrong with you?

This is not an open area!

If you know it, why are you here? Get out of here!

I don't think

that he is an experienced appraiser...

......

The Messenger checked only for your physical aptitude, and simply sent a warrior to Court. That's what his duty is all about.

Checking your qualification is a matter that concerns me.

Hmm...

You are an experienced traveler. You have enough strength, but... The Court doesn't choose a person based only on his or her great strength and battle experience.

To check someone's quality

you have to have enough

personality about you.

In that sense, I want to do a simple experiment.

Let's test you.

This won't be complicated. You are just needed to give a quick answer, frankly please, after each given situation.

kay, let's start. Get ready. Listen carefully and answer.

What do you think is the

most important thing to consider

as a leader of a hunt party?

What if we lose a party member

during battle?

What you get as a result of the hunt...

What type of job class member

has to be cured while the enemy still lives?

Whom do you want to befriend the most?

What was your ability that helped

you the most during your training?

How do you give encouragement to others, usually?

What is an ultimate virtue

in your life?

What would you want to keep

the most if you were on a

deserted island?

What type of story do you like the most?

You've come to engage the

new monster in a new area.

What do you do?

What has to be done first when

ruling the Rune-Midgarts kingdom?

Your humanity test is done.

You have been living...

with strong conviction,

and reasonable judgement,

so far.

with strong bravery,

but also you've had a

temperate life.

with a decisive mind.

You could overcome hardships with it.

with firmness,

with reasonable judgement

and a harmonic sensibility,

with a calm and prudent decision.

I think you could also have had many good experiences.

and peaceful sensibility,

...Erm, actually...

You didn't distort to either way...

and stability and harmony were

an important virtue in your life.

I think you are

qualified enough to evaluate others. I apologize for my rude behavior to you in the beginning.

So, I ask you to do us a favor. You have become a regular adventurer appraiser.

Ah, you've spent a long time with me. You must be very tired. Before starting work, if you need some preparation, take off now and come back to me later. I will be waiting here for you.

I don't think you are

an experienced adventurer...

And this is an important issue for the nation. I can't give this job to anyone like you.

But, if you prove yourself a strong adventurer, then I will let you pass the first qualification test.

Have you heard of Glastheim? In that area, there are monsters named Knights of Abyss.

After beating the knights of abyss

bring 2 Reins.

If you can do this mission,

I will respect your strength.

Let's continue our talk

after getting the 2 Reins.

Ciao...

Ahh, you came to meet me before huh? I guess you've already been to Glastheim.

Do you have the 2 reins I mentioned?

Ooh!

Frankly, I didn't expect you to bring them. You are great.

Alright, good. You proved your strength for yourself. Now you passed one exam. All but one.

The judge to appraise princes should build up his character too. Strength cannot cover everything. Personality should come along with it

In a sense, the next examination is to test your character. It is just a series of simple questions, but relax first, and be prepared mentally... then come and talk to me again.

You've never even taken such a dangerous mission before! How dare you think you could come to this place? I don't think you can take the job of evaluating princes.

Now, you can come back later.

Now are you ready?

This test is not that hard though...

This is done to know your attitude and behavior in certain situations. Listen carefully to my questions, and answer frankly in regards to the episodes of your trip.

Now, let me begin.

Welcome...

I will give you some

instructions on what to do,

and what one has to be careful with, when dealing with princes. Pay attention to me.

I will answer your questions first.

We have seven candidates from seven families. One per each family. The candidates are all in the same place, where I will introduce them to you.

You have to meet the candidates one by one, and ask some questions about their quality; or observe their actions, then come back to me and explain all that you observed in detail.

The original rule is that the quality of princes has to be appraised by royal families for a long time, and one has to be elected by internal ordinance.

Because of the resurrection of the devil Satan Morocc, people are too uneasy to follow regular announcements, and the atmosphere of the kingdom is not stable.

Each kingdom is busy preventing the interference of Satan Morocc too.

So this time, the Court decided to change its ways, giving the opportunity to appraise the candidates to famous and devoted adventurers like yourself. That's why you are here.

How absurd that you ask that!! I already told you clearly that King Tristan died of illness, didn't I?

Don't you have anything else to be curious about?

Sure...

It's natural to announce the death of the King. But the atmosphere of the nation is not ripe for it. This is our only alternative for now.

Princes cannot go outside on their own will. People cannot go to the place where the princes are.

I think this is enough

instruction for this.

Now I will let you know

where you can meet the princes.

When you get to the medic officer's room, a soldier will be standing on a strange spot. You can find that there isn't a door there.

Behind the soldier, you can find a secret door. If you talk to the soldier, the soldier will allow you to get in.

As I have expressed, this is a very important issue for the Rune-Midgarts kingdom. Although I've stressed this point repeateadly, I cannot stress it enough.

Please behave accordingly.

Thanks for your effort.

You got instructions as to what you should do, didn't you? This issue is not that worthless that you can take it with ease! Pay attention to this!

If you are not motivated to do it, I will find another adventurer. You can go back to your business, if you want to.

How is it going?

Grading someone is not a piece of cake. It's real hard work indeed. You do the hard work for our country.

-I tell him about the Ahrum and Ernst accident.-

What!? I can't believe it!

Wha-, that's so...

By Ernst's hand...?

Yes...?

You've fulfilled the job as

adventurer appraiser fully.

I really appreciate your assistance thus far. Due to your help, the future of the kingdom is indebted to you.

[

(He doesn't seem to be suprised too much.. Could there be a reason? Now I am suspicious...)

Hey, the things you experienced here cannot be disclosed to others. You understand that this situation is fully confidential.

So, keep up the good work.

For the Kingdom of Rune-Midgarts!

Then, let me hit the road..

All for the glory

of Rune-Midgarts!

Hello, appraiser.

I hope you are able to finish your mission perfectly. Have you met with all the princes, like I told you to?

Very well.

I like hearing about the princes.

Are you sure?

Please check on all the princes.

Don't be coy. I'm sure you have done it already.

My investigations on all the princes are done.
