Nyerk, Shugo has another order.

Shugo glad to be in Reshanta. It takes only about a month to earn what Shugo made in a year in Asmodae.

Anyway, that rumor must've spread to Pandaemonium because even the Quairerk Traders now attempt to get a cut out here! Nyerk! Black Cloud Traders pour heart and soul into this business and those sneaks now try to take Shugo's share for free! Nyeeeerk!

Player: "That's unfortunate."

Shugo can't just sit here and watch! This is Shugo turf!

Jakurerk discussed matter with Black Cloud leader and decided to cut a trade deal with officers of the respective fortresses, nyerk.

Here is contract! Nyerk, nyerk.

Player: "What are the details?"

Put simply, it is about Black Cloud offering discounts if officers agree to deal only with Black Cloud Traders, nyerk.

Daevas will receive goods at prices much cheaper than what they are now. Daevas will benefit from this deal, nyerk.

Shugo just needs to get officers to sign contract... This mission requires taking a whole tour around Reshanta... it is too dangerous for Jakurerk. Nyerk... Perhaps Daeva would like to do it?

Player: Accept

Here, Daeva needs to get signatures from the staff operation officer of each fortress on bottom here. Of course, not all fortresses will agree to contract, nyerk.

Even when some are against this, you should still bring a proof that they have checked out contract, so Shugo knows who not cooperating with Black Cloud.

So get signature of agreement or just signature of confirmation if deal is refused, nyerk.

Player: "Simple enough."

What brings you here?

You look like you're in a hurry. Do you have some kind of secret order from Pandaemonium?

Player: "I just need you to look over this contract..."

I've read the contract thoroughly.

They do beat around the bush a lot, but ultimately what they want is official recognition as the sole traders we deal with... We'd have a tough time in the Abyss without the Black Cloud Traders' supplies, I know that.

Very well. We'll do it. Here. Tell Jakurerk that he should come visit the fortress himself sometime.

Player: "Thanks. I'll let him know."

What do you need, Player?

What are you carrying in your hand?

Player: "It's a contract..."

In a word, this is a monopoly contract.

The Black Cloud Traders, right... Frankly, I don't want to be associated with that shady group, but they're the only traders around this district.

Anyway, can you assure me that they'll give us a markdown on the items? If not, I'll definitely hold you accountable for this. Haha, I'm just kidding. Here, I signed it.

Player: "Thanks."

Oh, what a day... I'm exhausted.

Interruptions nonstop. Ugh.

Now, what brings you here?

Player: "Just some paperwork..."

I flipped through the contract... it's obvious what the Shugo are up to.

Still, I don't think the terms of this contract seem that bad. I just need to sign it here, right?

There you go. Honestly, I haven't read it in detail. I'm going to take a nap now.

Player: "Sounds good..."

Did Daeva really receive signatures from all officers, nyerk?

Unbelievable! Amazing, simply amazing, nyerk! The Black Cloud Traders will keep this contract treasure... nyerk!

Now, Black Cloud Traders can start operating without worry. May Shugo ask Daeva to help with first trade, nyerk?

Player: "Perhaps..."

Daeva needs to deliver a Black Cloud Supply Box to each fortress that signed from, nyerk.

Daeva has already been to those places, so it won't take long to get back and forth, nyerk!

Shugo can rely on Daeva, nyerk?

Player: "Probably."

Are you here with supplies?

You've come at the right time!

Player: "Here is a Supply Box from the Black Cloud Traders."

Are you delivering these supply boxes to each fortress?

That's surprising. In many respects.

The Shugo being reliable... huh. I don't care if it's the Black Cloud Traders or Quairerk. As long as we get the supplies we need on time, I have no complaints.

Player: "Glad to hear it."

How can I help you?

Have you detected something suspicious?

Were having security issues... Please tell me what you know.

Player: "Just delivering a supply box..."

From the Black Cloud Traders? I am not familiar with that name...

I've been trading with the Quairerk Traders so far. Their items are in good shape, in my opinion.

Actually, now that I think about it... the Quairerk Traders have often violated the delivery date agreement. I might have to switch to the Black Cloud Traders for good.

Player: "You should."

What a pleasant surprise.

What's this?

Player: "A supply box for you..."

How smart they are. It might be accurate to say that the Shugos, not the Asmodian nor the Elyos, are the real winners in this battle.

They didn't shed a droplet of blood, yet they got what they wanted.

I'll take this supply box for now. It's going to come in handy for us. But, those Shugo are sneaky... watch out.

Player: "I will."

All of them already?

Amazing, simply amazing, nyerk!

Here, take this. For a Daeva who performed such a great task so well, nyerk!
