Mr. Ibanoff

[Mr. Ibanoff]

You are also an adventurer from another province. I also was a great adventurer.

Uf...I just want to be 20 years younger, so I can travel here and there with invigorating youth such as you... Time is an enemy. Hahahahaha!

[

Hello. Are you Mr. Ibanoff?

Yes. I am Mr. Ibanoff.

What's up?

You are an adventurer, right?

You come from a strange land?

Well, well, well...

You are welcome here.

When I adventured around

Rune-Midgarts, maybe it was

well before you were born.

Ah... I miss those days...

Now, I'm so tired;

my body and my heart.

I get reminded of fond

memories just by looking at the sea...

Um... Stories...

What to talk about first?

Right, I'll talk about that time I

fought against a huge flock of Porings...

Hahaha...

You'll be happy that you

listened to the adventure story.

When I was 24 years old...

My colleagues and I were passing by

a forest near Payon...

when...

and....

then.....

Finally......

I did a very good

job in the fight, so

my colleagues and I were

able to get back safely.

What did you think?

Next... Let's talk about

the haunting of a Goblin mob...!

If not...Ooo, I can just

keep going and going...

No? Too bad... Hehe...

Let's talk next time.

Yeah? Ohohoh... my friend,

we are in sync with each other...!

Ok, this time I'll talk

about the bloody fight at the

haunting of a Goblin mob...

You see...

also.....

Lastly......

So, the day's great bloody

fight was over like that...

Ohwee...

Hah! You are the first

to listen carefully to

my stories, for a long time.

Feels so good...

You absolutely have talent,

as a great adventurer.

You can become a good friend to me.

Next time, we talk about your

adventure story... eh? ~

If you ever need anything,

come talk to me whenever, hahaha!

Ah! The good listener!

What will you do if you

borrow my ship? I wonder...

I'm going to adventure out

to sea, to find a moving

island which has brought

many a legend to this neighboring village.

The Moving Island?

I have never seen that really...

You are young! Hawhawhaw!

I hope that you find

the island without fail,

and that you bring back

surprising news to us!

Let it be so!

First, I should check

the state of the ship...

You have some work to do,

if you want to help me.

She has not floated

for a long time,

so we should check

and repair the parts

that power her up.

Preparing the tools for repairs, in

this place, takes several days...

if you can possibly prepare them.

The materials needed are:

Strange Steel Piece 10, Rusty Screw 10, Flexible Tube 5, Jubilee 10.

When you've prepared all the

materials, bring them to me. I'll

repair the ship.

You want to borrow

my ship so spontaneously??

I don't even know you!!

You are more rude than you look.

I don't know, how you know

that I have a ship...

Anyway, I can't lend my ship

willingly to strangers.

Did you bring all the materials?

If we have all the materials,

we can prepare for departure!

Oh! You got the all materials.

It's enough.

Okay, we are at the ready.

When would you like to depart?

I'll say one thing...

It's difficult to keep this

ship afloat after the sun has set.

In these neighboring waters,

there are many raging waves.

After the sun sets, the tide does

not get any easier... even for an

expert seaman.

Remember, the poor condition of

this ship also factors when

attempting to plow through the

raging waves.

If you are ready to depart, tell

me, and we can check the tides.

These materials are insufficient.

Perhaps you forgot some of them?

Oh. Are you ready to depart?

Good, let's see...

Hmm. It's not a bad time.

We should hurry up

while the tides are low.

The ship is prepared already

at a dock nearby, so we can depart

right away.

That last sailing was tough...

But, all adventures

are like that...

Hahaha!

If you keep a mind to

depart again... tell me

and we can check the tides.

Will you depart?

When you are ready to depart, tell me.

Hey you... You are alive!

When you were swept away by the

waves, I thought that was the last

I would ever see of you!

Anyway, where were you all this time?

Oh... that's really marvelous.

Well I never...

The island truly exists...?

What's more...

The island is not an island?!?

It's a gigantic whale???

And trees grow... and water

streams... along the whale's

back!!?

That's unbelievable!

The most marvelous incident I have

ever heard in my lifetime!

Also, I am surprised at the

presence of an aged person on Whale

Island!

He must be a man strong in

spirit... with experience and high

discipline.

The story of the island has

advanced enough until this part.

Why don't you announce your

findings to our dearest Csar

and receive aid to find Whale

Island?

Our dear Csar likes it very

much to hear stories about

valuable things, so if he

listens to your story, he may give

you a prize...

And if you have any plans to go

back to the island, I want to go

together with you! Eh? Hahaha!

If our dear Csar listens to this

kind of story, he would find it a

pleasure.

He might even give you a prize...

Hm. Our dear Csar requested

evidence of the whale island?...

That may prove a little

difficult...

Do you have a guarantee that you

can find Whale Island again?

I think you won't give up.

How about if we depart

once more, and I will gladly help

you find Whale Island!

That does it! I expected it.

I knew you weren't the type to give up an adventure!

Again, let's get the ship ready and sail before the sun sets!

I see...

Even though you like adventure,

it might be impossible to find

Whale Island again...

If you change your mind,

anytime, come tell me.

Frankly, I would love to see you

prove the existence of Whale Island

to our dear Csar.

Oh! Are you ready to depart?

What a surprise!!

Where have you been??

I was worried that you had

disappeared forever!

I don't care... Wherever you have

been, it's very good to see you

again.

I can guess you'd like to go to

Whale Island once again...

Oh. You came back!

So, how did you do?

You say...

If you bring the materials, the old

man makes the instrument...

And he promised that he won't move

the island until you go back

again...

I see. I remember the exact

directions. Let's leave

immediately, as soon as you are

ready.

Oh. Did you get all the

materials you needed?

If so, do you want to go now?

I see. I will wait.

Ok, let's go!

Finally, everything has ended

successfully. With this, I add 1

more page to my... no, OUR adventure story!

Someday, I want to have another

chance to have another fantastic

adventure with a person like you!

I heard that you played a great

performance, with the instrument

from Whale Island, at the Imperial

Palace. Eh? You must have quite the talent!

What's going on?

You should ride a ship now? Let's ready to leave hurry up.

Gee. The tide is too high.

It's too dangerous to depart

right now because of the waves

getting too rugged.

When the sea calmes down a bit,

you can come back. We can't depart

right now.
