Hahaha! Wow! You’re such a dummy, Daeva! How did you just eat that?

My tummy hurts from laughing! I don’t remember the last time I laughed so hard.

But that was a real act of loyalty. You’re really cool, Daeva!

You had to do at least that to earn my respect!

My father is a Daeva too! Daevas are so cool! My dad never left the house without his giant sword.

Everyone says he was incredibly strong! Whenever he swung his sword, there wasn’t a single Balaur who would dare attack him.

I’m not a Daeva yet, but one day I’ll be just as strong as him!
(He gets a small shard of a sword out of his pocket.)

I want to show you something, Player. This is the sword I received after my father went missing in the Abyss.

My father hasn’t come back from the Abyss. He went missing while fighting against the Balaur there.

Player, you can enter the Abyss ‘cause you’re a Daeva, right?

I want to ask you for help, as my friend and as a Daeva, Player.

Would you take this and try to find out more about my father in the Abyss...?
I heard that during his many battles my father fought a Daeva called Jebal.

Now he’s a Brigade General at Primum Landing in the Abyss!

Maybe he could tell me something about my father if he saw this sword.

I can’t leave here. I’m not a Daeva and I’m still not old enough...! It’s not that I’m scared or anything!

Now that you’re my friend, I can trust you, so I want to ask for your help!
Thank you! Daevas really are cool.

I’ll wait for you.

Take good care of yourself! I’ll make us something yummy to eat! We’re friends after all!
What is it?

So, you think you can just talk to me unprompted, do you?

Think you’re something special, is that it? Everyone treats you like you’re royalty, do they? I hope whatever you have to say isn’t a waste of my valuable time.

That’s...?

(He looks closely at the sword.)

Yes... I remember it exactly. The battle and the day.

This sword was delivered here on the same day that a fierce battle against the Balaur broke out in the Abyss.

At the time, we didn’t have enough supplies because we had been withstanding the Balaur’s violent attacks, so we had sourced more supplies via the Black Cloud Merchants.

Back then, we were fighting in the Abyss day and night, all for the good of Atreia.
At the time, it was often the case that we fought huge battles in the Abyss.

Oh! I just thought of a way you might be able to find out who the owner is.

They kept a ledger of all the deliveries, including who received which piece of equipment. You should be able to find out who the owner is by looking at the serial number on the item.

Kohrunerk of the Black Cloud Merchants owns the ledger.

I’m sure you’ll be able to find out who the owner is by checking the serial number with Kohrunerk.

It’s a long story. I hope you can find the owner, and that everything goes smoothly for you.
What’s Daeva doing here, ak?
Ah... Shugo remembers.

This sword was part of the delivery the Black Cloud Merchants made on the same day that fighting broke out everywhere.

Daeva is at the right place.
