[Wuhari]

Ah... Is there anyone with more experience with this...

I haven't seen your face before... You aren't from around here?

If you are a person who has enough courage and wisdom to go to a foreign land all alone, I'm sure you have a lot of experience as well.

I would like to learn the name of a great adventurer like you, so that I can talk about you elsewhere.

[

My name is

Wow! The name sure sounds like it has defeated many in the mountains, seas, and skies! It's amazing!

It's not much.

I am not really all that great.

Um...

Could I please ask you a favor?

Really? Oh well...

Sorry to bother you.

Really?

Thank you so much!

For me, I have a big brother.

My brother is... not an extremely well-known scholar.

Although his fame lost a bit of flare these recent years because he was stuck at home getting too fond of housework.

It's been long since the last time I saw his face because I was all over the place for a while.

I don't mean to brag, but I am also a distinguished intellectual myself, so I'm sought after by many, haha.

Anyways, we wrote letters to each other regularly, but with a sudden drop in contact, I hurriedly came to see him to find out that he was taken to jail.

They said something about his research but I don't know the details myself. I would like to find out more, but I am not in a situation to make my way there.

I would really lke to help you, but...

Yeah, I would like to help, but...

I can't really express my desire to help any other way...

But, I'm really sorry. I can't.

Oh, no, no. I am sure you are really busy. I'm sorry to have asked such a favor.

Sure. It's not a big deal.

Really? Thank you so much.

It seems that a person with so much experience like you has a wonderful heart as well.

I thought you were busy...

I was just wondering how things are coming along.

Nothing... Nothing really happened yet...

I can't do anything in my own strength... Nothing at all...

I just couldn't pass by without doing something about it.

Does that mean you would meet up with my brother?

Thank you so much!!!

The prison is inside the palace, but to find it, it might be a bit difficult.

By the way, my brother doesn't talk very well to strangers.

He's typically very shy and introverted.

So you might have to be a bit patient with him. Please give this letter to him.

Well, you must have a long way to go, so please be on your way.

Have you met my brother yet?

Sure, I'll write you another one

I know I'm the one asking a favor, but could you please hurry?

I am really concerned about him.

Oh,

Your brother seems to be doing well.

Compared to how he was when I first met him, he surprisingly had... lots to say...

Yeah... He's pretty talkative, isn't he?

What did he say?

- Wuhari is told about Wuhuru -

Why did he do such a thing...

Well, I guess he always had a negative self-image of his physical self.

He thought that he would be able to do anything if he was big and beautiful.

No, I don't have any complaints at all.

He always told me that since we are disadvantaged physically, we need to at least be smart and taught me very diligently.

For that, I am now able to support myself well, and my relationship with him is really strong.

And since my physique is so small, many people adore me even when I age.

Thanks to that, many gave us lots of good things to eat, heh heh.

......

Your brother asked me to figure out a way for him to recover his body.

Yes, that's not even a question. We need to not only recover his body but also rescue him from imprisonment.

With regards to that, I actually have another favor to ask.

Yes, of course, you would be very busy. I am grateful for even letting me know about my brother.

Oh man, even the people we found are so apathetic... What could I possibly do now...?

Oh dear~ Is there anyone who can help~~ This world is so ruthless~

Will you really?

Are you doing this because I look so sad?

Whatever it is, I thank you so much!

First, if we were to figure out how to recover his body, we have to know exactly what happened at that moment.

It would be helpful to know on what basis he carried out his research. But, I don't really know despite listening to his story.

It looks like we don't have ways to figure that out right now. To explore it on my own, it just seems too difficult...

It is probably best to ask the people who may be familiar with what happened then.

Please, I ask you. In the meantime, I'll carefully think about what my brother has said.

What happened?

I'm still looking into things.

I see... I ask you, please take care of it.

What happened? Did you find out anything?

Hmm...

This is... a research report. My brother, he must have seen this and...

But hmm... this is... Were there any other reports?

No, that was the only one I was given.

Oh... That's too bad...

Well, I'll have to analyze this in more depth. I would need some time.

Umm... What is it that you brought?

Huh! What the...!?

Where did it go?

I must have dropped it on the way here.

I'll bring it to you.

I'm still in the process of looking through the report. It's very complex, so I'll need more time.

Great, you got here at the right time.

I looked into this report, but I still don't really understand what it is telling.

The ingredients are written here but they were difficult to gather and the application methods are a bit hard to understand...

Why would they use a piece of a high-level Laphine's wings and hair from a Sapha?

It's not only difficult to obtain them, but the ways you would have to obtain them are brutal...

What do you mean exactly by that?

His body was bigger and glowing blue like a Sapha, and his wings were much bigger than that of a normal Laphine.

I wonder if it's a method to merge the unique characteristics of both races...

But even for his own experiments, my brother would have needed someone's wing and someone's hair... Would he really...

According to your brother, he received the ingredients from a high-level Laphine.

The more I look at it, the stranger it gets... To think of this in the first place...

Regardless, to figure out a way to recover my brother's body, I would have to study this.

I wish the instructions were more detailed.

Then should I go and ask your brother again?

That's probably no use. My brother also must have used these instructions to experiment, but he must have become that way because he failed.

To understand these instructions accurately, we have to find the Laphine who provided this report.

Yes. I know. That's why

But I guess it's still too much.

It must be too much...

That's exactly my request!

Wow, your veteran sensibilities are truly amazing.

In any case, thanks so much!

It looks like I'll have to depend on you again! Thank you!

First, please go find that Laphine and ask how to return his body back. And also please ask why the report was given to my brother in the first place.

It's probably best to ask the people in the village first.

Awesome! The world hasn't let me down just yet! I know it was too big of a favor..

Please go find that Laphine and ask how to return his body back. And also please ask why the report was given to my brother in the first place.

But I'm a little busy right now.

Did you find that high-level Laphine?

Well... That Laphine was already dead.

What? He was dead?

- It's probably better not to tell him Wuhuru's story -

You see, when I went to the field where he was last seen, he was already dead.

Could it be that the palace noticed how a risky research was being done and sent a person to take care of things?

Possibly...

But why of all people did they entrust my brother with that research?

It might be that they took advantage of his inferiority complex toward his physique and his superb intellect.

If he succeeded, they might have involved lower-level Laphines into the matter for less than desirable purposes.

Ahh, how terrible..

It could have been better off for your brother to have failed.

Even though it's unfortunate for him.

Could it mean that my brother is...

No, I'm sure there is some way.

I'll recover his body no matter what even if I were to do it by myself.

Is there anything I can do to help?

You already helped me so much... If so, I'll ask you for even another favor. It's probably going to be the last one.

All of the ingredients in this research report are very difficult for me to gather myself.

Ingredients I need are one of each of the following: Laphine's Wing Fragment, Hair of Sapha, Karvodailnirol, Purified Bradium, Rune of Darkness, Rune of Blood.

All I can trust is you

Did you bring all the ingredients?

Ingredients I need are one of each of the following: Laphine's Wing Fragment, Hair of Sapha, Karvodailnirol, Purified Bradium, Rune of Darkness, Rune of Blood .

Of course!

Um... Where did you say the items were

I couldn't work without them.

It must have been really difficult! Thank you so much!

I'll try to continue the research with these.

Thank you for helping me through all of this.

This is nothing, but it's just a token of my appreciation.

I wish you best of luck in the coming future

The research is still ongoing. If I had a thread of hope, I would hang on it, but I can't seem to find it just yet.
