Poor, poor Mimikinkinerk! Always faithful, always hardworking. The best wife a Shugo, like me, could ask for. Nee-urk.

They should have captured me, not her! Nee-urk.


Mimikinkinerk and I were peddling, selling, trading. Decided to go to Jeiaparan Village, but...

Were ambushed by Krall. I escaped, but Mimikinkinerk...was captured. Nee-urk nee-urk.

What if she is still alive? You must rescue her, kind and trusting Daeva! You must help me, a Shugo. Nee-urk. Nee-urk.






Thank you, thank you. Roikinerk will never forget the kind and exceptionally trusting Daeva. Nee-urk.

Wait, before you go...






Roikinerk should not ask favours for free. Daeva should get something in exchange, something to help you find poor Mimikinkinerk.

I have many useful things in this sack! The kind of sack that a Shugo would carry. You should take one, Daeva. Stick your head right inside to see better. Nee-urk.

Stick it in further. Further...now breathe deep...


Oh, another victim, akakak. So, who was it this time? Uikinerk? Or Roikinerk?

Doesn't matter now, nyerk. We're captured, Daeva. Prisoners.




After this job...it was going to be the easy life for me, touring Elysea. But it seems...cough...retirement is too much to ask for.

But...cough...Daeva can escape! Yes! They searched my sack, took my gear. But they left the sack!

They don't know of hidden pocket! Inside is teleport...cough...scroll. Go to Garkbinerk in Reshanta...tell him Haorunerk is captured by Steel Rake!






What do you need, Daeva? Weapons? You have fine weapon already. You want better?




What did Daeva say? Haorunerk is being held prisoner on the Steel Rake?

But the Shulacks have been quiet for some time, akakak.

That must mean the Steel Beard Pirates have the item that the old Shugo was to take care of. *sigh* Shugo’s customers are already making Shugo’s life difficult, akakak.

Could Shugo ask Daeva to report this to Kuruminerk in Sanctum?

Old Haorunerk belongs to our branch in Sanctum. The delegate should really hear about this first, ak.
Captured! Kuruminerk never think crafty old Haorunerk would be captured by Shulacks, nyerk.

Never underestimate Shulacks! Important lesson.

Thank you for your help, Daeva. Black Cloud Merchants will deal with situation.
