[Young Man]

Hm? Oh, an adventurer.

There's more and more

of you coming to visit this

Odin Shrine nowadays.

[Thierry]

...?!

H-how do you

know my name?

Do I know you

from somewhere?

Oh, Euslan sent you to me?

I'm so sorry that you had to

go through so much trouble.

Still, I'm glad to hear from her. Please let her know that I'm

coming home soon, would you?

Well, um, I'm sorry.

I can't really go into the

details, but I'm doing this

work to find a cure for

Euslan's disease. It's not

curable by modern medicine...

I can't tell you more

than that. Please just

trust me on this. In the

meantime, would you tell

Euslan that I should be

coming home very soon?

Oh, I thought you

already left Odin Shrine.

You don't have anything

else to tell me, do you?

What?! It's just what

I thought! They were just

using me this whole time...!

Still, I can't leave this

place just yet... I can't...

I guess it all started when

Euslan contracted that weird

disease. None of the doctors

knew what it was, none of them

could do anything about it.

It was totally devastating...

Finally, I took her to see

Mawong, who told us that he

actually met someone that had

that disease, and that there

was a way for me to cure it.

I had to take my chances...

Mawong told me that the cure

was somewhere near the Odin

Shrine in Hugel. As you already

know, this place is incredibly

dangerous. But I don't care.

I'll do anything for Euslan.

Of course, I only told Euslan

that I'd be looking around the

Schwarzwald Republic... If she

knew I was at the Odin Shrine,

she'd worry too much about me.

Once I got here, I didn't

know what to do, or what I was

even looking for. Then, I ran

into these strange men, and

told them my story out of my

frustration over my situation.

It seemed like a miracle

when they said that they knew

how to cure Euslan. They told

me that they were a research

team working on a project

related to my dilemna.

I didn't even think twice

about it: I immediately

accepted their offer to

join them. I did whatever

research they asked while

I searched for Euslan's cure...

Later, I overheard them

talking, and I learned that

they were really Rekenber

Corporation agents. Their

project had nothing to do

with medicine or my Euslan...

Their true goal is to improve

their guardian technology by

finding the remains of some

giant beneath the Odin Shrine.

Still, working with them gave

me access to so many resources.

I've actually been able to

find a cure for Euslan's

illness through my research

with those men, so I can't

quit now. I still need to make

that medicine for Euslan!

So, behind their backs, I've

been using their guardians to

gather the ingredients needed

for my fiancee's medicine. But

if they're planning to get rid of me, I've just run out of time.

It doesn't matter what

happens to me, but I must

save Euslan. I only need

5 Runes of the Darkness to

finish that medicine. Please

help me get them, adventurer...

You're the only one I can

trust to save Euslan. In the

meantime, I'll be hiding from

those men right over here.

If they get me, I'll never be

able to make the medicine!

I understand that gathering

materials here in the Odin

Shrine is difficult, but try to

get me 5 Runes of the Darkness

as soon as you can. My Euslan

really needs that medicine...

Oh! You really brought me

the Runes of the Darkness!

I can finally make the medicine

that will save my dear Euslan.

I... I can't thank you enough

for this. I'm so happy...

Please give me a moment:

I want to make this right

away. Let's see, ah, here

are my research notes...

......

.........

............

It's finally done. This

medicine will cure Euslan.

If you'd do one last thing

for me, please bring this to

her. I've got to sneak away

later after things calm down.

Please understand that

I want to see her as soon

as I can, but I have to wait

until those Rekenber agents

stop searching for me. And let

Eslan know I'll come home soon.

You received the

medicine that Thierry

has made to give to Euslan.

Please give that

medicine to Euslan as

soon as you can: her life

depends on it. Please let

her know that I'm coming

home as soon as I can.

[Researcher]

I'm sorry, Euslan...

Please just wait for

me a little while longer.

I swear I'll come home to you!
