Tosuka-Porika: Hrm.
Hrmmm...
Hrrrmmmmmm...hrm!
...Hrm!?
Sorry about that.
I was just thinking...
I'm facing my first crisis since taking over as Minister of the Optistery here...
.........Hrm?
By the way, who in my stars are you?
Wha-wha-what? You're the adventurer sent here to help from the gatehouse?
Well then, let me explain.
Hrmmm......
Where do I start?
Firstly, do you know the role of the Optistery's Library of Magic?
This is a repository for the storage and preservation of innumerable scrolls and books, from ages long past right up to the present.
The most important role of our librarians is to consign our entrusted writings to posterity, without ever losing a single one of them.
Why, even during that terrible war twenty years ago, we were able to protect almost all of the books.
But the restricted books section is another matter.
Restricted books are never allowed to be taken out of the Library of Magic, and are normally sealed away in a special room.
Manuscripts, life-threateningly dangerous to those weak in magical power...
Books of the dark arts, not to be viewed by mortal eyes... Ancient scrolls not even the Minister of the Optistery is allowed to open...
All of which are writings that, if taken outside, would cause great calamity. However, one very important book disappeared during the war twenty years ago, and has never been seen since.
But recently, I received word that said book had fallen into the dirty paws of that outrageous Mithran Cat Burglar who inhabits Windurst Woods.
Although the source of this information is dubious, the possibility that she has that book is a matter of great consequence.
That's where you come in...
I want you to go meet that so-called “Cat Burglar” and confirm whether or not she possesses any of our restricted books.
The Optistery must retrieve any restricted books back as soon as possible, and at any cost. We are counting on you!
Part nach dem "House of the Hero"
Tosuka-Porika: Hrmm!?
Oh, you're finally back!
How did it go?
Did that so-called Mithran “Cat Burglar” really have her paws on one of our restricted books?
...Wha-wha-wha-what!? Preposterous!
The Book of the Gods...!? No...!
The time for the Book of the Gods to lose its magic has come...!? Wha...!?
It's said that when the Book of the Gods loses its magic power and returns to blank pages, the shadows of destruction will set upon our world...
Hrm! Really, how could such a fearful thing ever happen!?
Ajido-Marujido! I bet you wanted the Book of the Gods so badly that you came up with this preposterous lie. Hrmmm...
Don't you worry about Ajido-Marujido! I'll report him to the Star Sibyl myself.
And as for you, adventurer.
I must warn you to forget this ever happened! You understand?
