Old Fisherman

[Fisherman]

These days, it's much

harder to catch and fish.

Ever since they built

this factory, the fish

have started to change,

and they look different too...

Eh? You want something?

Heh, youngsters! I know

how much you love handouts,

but you're not getting any.

Now, if you bring me some

Raw Fish, I'd be more friendly~

Oh, is all this fish

for me? Heh, how very

generous of you. If you're

going to be so kind, then

I suppose I have to repay

the favor. Ask me anything~

Oh? Ohh. Oh yeah.

I remember that. Yeah.

it was August 20th, my

wife's birthday. That day,

instead of catching fish,

I caught a dead woman.

Of course, I reported it

to the Juno Police! They told

me she killed herself since

she was betrayed by her lover,

who also happened to be her

employer. Really tragic stuff.

Anyway, when they were

moving her body out of the

river, her hand dropped

some ring. I picked it up,

hoping to sell it later for

some zeny. I know, I know...

I was pretty lucky the

police didn't see me take

it. Later that day, some guy

came up to me and offered

me a lot of money for it.

I guess it was my lucky day!

I found out later that he was

some mechanical repairman--

something. He sold everything

to buy that ring, so I guess

he wanted it desperately.

Then he just dissapeared.

His name...?

It was something like...

Heil? Hyre? Anyway, it

was a long time ago. Oh,

his old house is still around.

If you're going to be

that curious, you might

as well check it out.

Let's see, he lived in

a hut near the northeast

forest guard camp.

Don't you remember

what I told you? That

guy lived in a hut near

the northeast forest

guard camp! Why don't

you check that place out?
