Mr. President

- Wait a moment! -

- Currently you're carrying -

- too many items with you. -

- Please enlighten your weight -

- and try again. -

[Karl]

How did you get in here?

Please leave this place

immediately! Security...!

Ah, welcome~

I understand that you

must have had a lot of

trouble coming here.

It's a pleasure to

finally meet you.

As I'm sure Ghalstein

has told you, ''Secret Wing''

was formed to overthrow the

evil Rekenber Corporation.

Now, I'm sure that you must

have some questions for me...

Rekenber has been

unopposed for a very long

time. Our nation is unhappy

with their rule, but since our

country lacks solidarity, the

people can do nothing.

But one day, I was contacted

by some people who claimed to

share my sentiments against

the Rekenber Corporation.

Later, I learned that they were

from the Kafra Corporation.

Apparently, they were

facing some aggressive

competition from Cool

Event Corp, which is

actually backed by the

Rekenber Corporation.

We decided to pool our

resources to deal with what

we perceived as a common

enemy. Before long, we gathered

more devotees to our cause and

formed the ''Secret Wing.''

It may be helpful for

you to know that our

direct contact to the

Kafra Corporation is the

3rd Security Team. Oh, did

you have any other questions?

It's true that companies

exist to create money, but

the Rekenber Corporation

is much more nefarious.

They actually want to dominate the entire Midgard continent.

In fact, the chairman of

that company is shrouded

in mystery. Although I'm

the president, I go through

many difficulties just to

send a message to him.

It's disheartening,

but we really have no

idea what their true goals

and plans might be. Now, did

''Secret Wing's'' only

goal is to destroy the

Rekenber Corporation in

order to break the Schwarzwald Republic free from its oppression.

Of course, we realize

that it will take time and

a lot of sacrifice to make

this a reality. Now, do you

have anything else to ask?

Ah, your next mission.

I'm ready to give you

some of the details if

you no longer have any

questions to ask. Let me

know when you are ready.

Very well, then.

Your mission will not

be too difficult, but it does

have great urgency so you

must accomplish it as soon

as you can. Understood?

Hm? I thought you

didn't have any more

questions. However, I still

have the luxury to give you

any answers that I can provide.

I'm glad to hear that.

Alright, give me a second

to search for this file before

I explain the mission.

Now, you must first visit

the Kafra Headquarters in

Al De Baran and meet someone

named Benith. She will tell you

all about your next mission.

Be careful and do not

freely mention anything

about ''Secret Wing'' or

your cooperation with us as

it may jeopardize our goals.

Hurry, time is of the essence.

Ah, before I forget,

please bring this file

folder to Ms. Hes O'Neil

for me before you leave.

Thank you very much.

Hurry and complete

the mission given to

you by Benith, who is

in the Kafra Headquarters

in Al De Baran. It is a very

urgent, high priority task...

Hm? I was expecting

for you to bring me

back an important file.

Please hurry, our entire

organization is at stake!

Ah, you're here.

Good work, I hear that

the mission was a success.

An official success anyway.

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

Poor, dear sweet

Jargeah. Why him?

Must fate be so cruel

and harsh? I still can't

believe he's gone. Just

last week, we were...

I'm sorry. You didn't

know him that well, but

all those who did know

him, loved him. And I can

say that with pride. L-let

me check the files a minute...

Hm. After completely

reviewing this file, I've

found that it offers some

great leads, but it's still not

enough hard evidence to

really hurt Rekenber.

However, according to

this, there's a researcher

from Rekenber named

Shinokas who vanished all

of a sudden. Apparently, he

knew some kind of secret.

Luckily, my men have

reported sightings of

Shinokas somewhere in

Einbroch. He's certainly

out there. But what does

he have to hide?

We must learn his

secret if we hope to

do any lasting damage to

Your next mission is to

find Shinokas. Good luck.

And please hurry.

I don't want our enemies

to discover Shinokas before

we can get him to talk.

I'm sorry, but it's

taking me a long time

to analyze the information

in this file. A-and Jargeah

sacrificed himself to get

it for us. *Sigh* Jargeah...

Why don't you relax

while I peruse this

file? I should be done

with this soon, hopefully...

Ymir's Heart Pieces?

Is that what they're

trying to collect?

What are they going

to do with something

so incredibly dangerous?!

Huh. This new information

raises some new questions.

Fortunately, we have a new

lead from the spy who got

us the info on Shinokas.

We've recently learned that

Shinokas managed to access

the Regenschirm Secret Archive, a lab affiliated with Rekenber.

That's how Shinokas was able

to learn so much about them.

It will be difficult

and very dangerous to

access this archive, so

I want you to meet with

someone from the Kafra

Corporation near Lighthalzen.

And don't worry...

She'll know exactly

who you are and

how to help you.

We don't know how

helpful Shinokas's

information may be for

us, but we must learn

anything we can about

There is so much we

don't know about them.

Their motives, their methods,

almost all of the important

details are still in the dark.

By all means, you

must find Shinokas and

see what you can learn!

Your efforts will not go

unrecognized,

Hm? What's wrong?

Now that I think about

it, you reacted as if you

recognized his name back

when I mentioned Shinokas.

Then it must be

my imagination.

Okay then, go and

find Shinokas, he

may be in grave

danger as we speak!

Oh...

You've already met

Shinokas, did you?

You witnessed his

death?! This is a very

strange coincidence.

I see, there must be

no need to investigate

Shinokas now. And you

did learn the secret for

which he was hunted...

[Guard]

Mr. President,

Ms. Hes O' Neil has an

urgent message for you.

Hmm...

Then please,

let her in.

[Hes O'Neil]

Sir, I'm sorry

for interrupting

you, but there's

something I need to

show you immediately!

Alright, let's

have it. Let me

see those new files.

Oh, these are--! Thank

you, Ms. O' Neil, you

may leave now.

Thank you sir.

Once again, let me

apologize for disturbing

your private conference.

Alright. Please let me

review these documents

to see if there are any

new developments in the

investigation involving

Shinokas and his secret...

Alright, I just

completed reading

all of these new reports

from our field agents.

Thank you for waiting.

the Regenschirm Secret Archive,a lab affiliated with Rekenber.

If you keep looking around

the fields just outside of

Lighthalzen, you'll certainly

find her. I'm sorry that I can't

tell you more, but we've got

to protect our security...

I apologize, but it's

to go through all of the

reports in these files.

Please give me a little more

time to make sense of them.

I hope you continue

to keep up the good

work, not only for the

sake of the Schwarzwald

Republic, but for peace

on all of Midgard.

Did you find any

of that evidence in

the Secret Archive yet?

Hurry! The movements in

Rekenber Corporation are

making me feel really uneasy.

I've already received a

message from Esuna

about your success.

If you would, please

let me read the file...

Ah, now everything is

clearer. Shinokas and his

friends were killed over

that piece of Ymir's Heart.

That's what the Rekenber

Corporation ultimately wants.

But this raises some

new questions. What

are they planning to

do with Ymir's Heart?

It must be more powerful

than we had thought...

We'll need even more

information. For now,

please go back to Esuna.

It seems that she just

received some critically

important intel to give you.

Please hurry and meet

Esuna just outside of

Lighthalzen. Perhaps I am

getting paranoid, but I keep

getting the feeling that

Rekenber is on to us...

You don't have the

file? Retrieve it for

me as soon as you can.

It's imperative that I read

what Esuna has to report!

Ah, good to see you

again. I hear you have

some important news for

me, something of the utmost

urgency. But I fear the worst.

What...?

I can't believe this!

How can our security

be breached like this?!

Only someone from

really deep inside could...

Please...

Would you go and

speak to Esuna one

more time? I need to

know more about how

all of this happened...

No...

I can't...

Kurelle? We've

worked together,

trusted each other

for years. No, it's not....

If it's true, then

that means I've been

playing into the enemy's

hands this whole time.

I've... I've got to know

and ask Kurelle myself.

O'Neil!

Bring Kurelle in

here, right now!

...Yes, sir.

Right away.

Advisor Kurelle

is here now.

Let him in!

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

...............?

Yes, sir...

[Kurelle]

Hello, Mr. President.

What exactly did you

need from me today?

...........

.......

...

???

Did you...

Why did you betray us?!

After all this time, why now?

......

So you know.

Well, you're smarter

than I gave you credit for.

Ha ha ha~

Right, it was me.

Your right hand man.

I reported everything

you were doing to the

But why...?

I thought we were

working together for

the greater good, to

do the right thing?

Forget that! I'm sick

of being second place

to you. All our lives, you've

always been on top. School,

athletics, politics. Well, here's my chance to finally beat you!

I can't believe this. All

those years of friendship

were all a lie? We even

joined Secret Wing together.

This whole time, you were

harboring a silly grudge...

Shut up! It's not a

silly grudge! ...You there.

Adventurer. Can't you see

this man is finished?! But

it's not too late. Join us.

Rekenber could use you.

Now that I've helped

the Rekenber Corporation,

I'll get their support in the

next presidential election.

I'll beat you for sure, Karl!

Bwahahahahahaahahahhaah~!

.........

It's all over for

now. This isn't good

at all. You're finished

here too. Go and talk to

Ghalstein again. It's time

we let you loose, adventurer.

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

[

Ah, where did I put the record?

It's you.....!

It's really been a long time.

So, are you still having the idea to go against Rekenber?

I'm not sure.

The Secret Wing has been disbanded and I am just another puppet they have, just like the previous presidents.

Not long ago, the scientists of Regenschrim have stolen the research record and destroyed the machines that they used for research purposes.

...!

Did you do that?

I still fail to move on after the incident of my friends' betrayal and the disband of the Secret Wing...

You are really a great friend.

Didn't you speak about the research record just now?

Oh! Can you give me the record?

It will be a big trouble to them.

If you insist to go against them, I will give you the record.

I am the president of this country.

I have failed before but I won't stop trying when there is still an opportunity.

You remind me of the day I made up my mind to rebuild this country.

How could I forgot such important responsibilities of mine.

That's great.

Here's the record.

I hope you will make good use of it.

Let's see...

Oh! That's some interesting information.

I have another good news. The Secret Wing has not given up yet. They are still working on the project and I hope that you won't be giving up on it too.

.....I feel so sorry for what I did.

Thank you for bringing this great gift. I will stay strong and work hard to achieve my target.

I will recruit the new batch of members and use them to let the world know about what the corporation had really done.

Thank you so much.

You can count on me to right what was wrong.

I am trying to recruit capable people who can help me to bring down Rekenber Corporation.

Thanks to you, I have enough information as a good beginning to nail them now down.

I have had my men to gather some information and learned that Regenschrim had stopped operating now.

You have done well for the Schwarzwald Republic.
