 * Apururu: You have my thanks. I'm sure you've heard from the guards how terrible-werribly important this mission is to me. As you know, my brother, Minister Ajido-Marujido, has now spent a considerable amountaru of time in the Dark Dungeon. My brother is a very resilient person. However, the Dark Dungeon is a chamber that drains magical power. To spend this much time in there... I beg of you! Please help him! I know this goes against all the rules, but I have to help my brother!


 * Help out?
 * Leave it to me!
 * It's too risky. <- Chose this option

Apururu: ..... That's true... But I know you can do it.

Mission ends


 * Help out?
 * Leave it to me! <- Chose this option
 * It's too risky.

Apururu: ...Thank you. ... I've been researching a way to save my brother.

Flash back, Dark Dungeon.

Apururu: The chambers that lie beneath the central tower are sealed with the power of the stars and the moon. This means that the doors to those chambers can only be opened with an item imbued with that same power. The rings carry-warried by the ministers are such items. Every time a minister is appointed, a ring is made and presented to the new minister by Heavens Tower. After learning this, I took the Manustery Ring and set off for the Dark Dungeon...''

''Apururu runs up to the door into the Dark Dungeon. Her ring flashes off a lime green light, but it quickly fades away.''

Shantotto: Give it up, Apururu. That seal is beyond you.

Shantotto walks down the tunnel up to the door where the minister is at.

Apururu: Professor Shantotto...

Shantotto: I heard you were sneaking around, asking people about the Dark Dungeon. Why don't you just stand at the top of Heavens Tower and yell, "I'm going to break my brother out of jail. Arrest me, someone!"

Shantotto claps her hands, mockingly.

Shantotto: How imprudent. And you were always such a bright student.

Apururu: I won'taru just stand by and let my brother waste away in there! But I can't... the door won't...

Shantotto: I understand how you feel. I don't want to lose him either. Especially after all the trouble I've gone through to raise a tough-as-nails, wicked-and-weiling, savage-spell-slinging wizard to take over as Orastery minister... Listen up and I'll explain about the door deep below the tower. This door, as you've discovered, can be opened by the powers of the stars and the moon. Everything in Horutoto Ruins is governed by this power. However, the magic sealing these doors was weakened when several of the towers were severly damaged during the Great War. And so up until now, these doors could have been opened with a single minister's ring - no need for a charm created by Heavens Tower, like before.

Apururu: ...!

Shantotto: Haven't you figured it out? What does that head of yours contain? You would have realized it by now if you were using that melon you call a brain. If you recall, Ajido-Marujido restored the power of the ruins, my dear dumpling. Now, you are no longer able to open the doors by using just a single ring.

Shantotto throws her head back in laughter.

Shantotto: Ohoho, such stupidity!

Apururu sighs and looks at her feet.

Apururu: .....

Shantotto: ...Ah, forgive my amusement. I didn't come just to laugh at you. I have a brilliant idea to help your brother through.

Apururu: Really, Professor Shantotto? Please tell me what I have to do.

''Shantotto shakes with laughter again.

Shantotto: Ohoho! You must gather the rings of the five ministers. Yes, yes. It is a chore. But, using their combinded power, you should be able to dispel the seal on the door. Bring the five rings to my house in Windurst Walls. We can only get started when we have them all. Ohoho!

Apururu: Thank you so much, Professor. I will never forget this.

Shantotto: You'd better not. Ah, and there's one more thing you'd better not forget. Don't think of going after the rings yourself. It would be something you'd regret. Leave it to an adventurer who's capable. Do you know ? S/he's very useful and usable. It almost boggles the mind how eager s/he is to stick her nose into some dangerous squeeze. There's no reason not to take advantage of  natural tendencies.

End of flashback.

Apururu: This is why I need your help. Here... This is my Manustery Ring. I know it's a lot to ask, but... please save my brother. I beg of you.

 * Tosuka-Porika: Hrmm! What!? There's no reason for me to feel guilty! I have absolutaruly no intention of defying the will of the Star Sibyl.

You ask him for his ring.

Tosuka-Porika: ...? What was that? You want me to lend you my Optistery Ring again? Hrmm, I know what you're up to! You want to go back to the Animastery, don't you? There's no reason for you to go there. In factaru, you really shouldn't. How would you talk yourself out of trouble-wouble if you happened to run into the Star Sibyl again?

You tell him why you need the ring.

Tosuka-Porika: ...Hrmm? What's that!? That's not the reason? You mean to break Ajido-Marujido out of the Dark Dungeon using my Optisery Ring!? ...Hmmm... The Dark Dungeon, huh? They say that the Dark Dungeon drain's a person's magical power, eventually killing them... I doubtaru the Star Sibyl really intends to rob-wob Ajido-Marujido of his life. But she may be angry enought to rob him of his life as a mage.

Tosuka-Porika pauses to think.

Tosuka-Porika: Hrmm!? There was once a similar tragedy...I seem to recall... Now...who was that...?

Tosuka-Porika shrugs off the thought.

Tosuka-Porika: ...In any case, I have not the slightest-wightest interest in doing anything that would benifitaru Ajido-Marujido. If you're looking for help from me, you've come to the wrong place. Now, get out of here!

You start to walk towards the door, but Tosuka-Porika stops you.

Tosuka-Porika: ...!? Hrm? Just a momentaru...? It can't be... Hrmm... That power I feel coming from you...

''The minister looks at you, puzzled. His face changes to surprise as he realizes what he senses.''

Tosuka-Porika: The magic has returned to the blank tome! It's a miracle...! This will mean the salvation of Windurst!

You tell the tarutaru what you plan to do with the book.

Tosuka-Porika: ...What!? You intend to have Ajido-Marujido read the book!? Don'taru be a fool! If you want someone to read it, then give it to me. I can...!

He reaches out for the book, but it gives him a strong electric shock.

Tosuka-Porika: Great Goddess! I cannot... This is beyond my stregth... I may be able to open it if I had Diza Star of the Star Sibyl...

Tosuka-Porika pauses to think.

Tosuka-Porika: ... Hrmm... A wily wizard of Ajido-Marujido's power should be able to withstand this magic...

The minister bows his head in shame.

Tosuka-Porika: ...I admit defeataru! But if I help you get this book to Ajido-Marujido, you mustaru tell me what knowledge its pages contain. I mustaru know the dangerous truth learned by Minister Karaha-Baruha. Here, take my Optistery Ring. Return it to me as soon as your task is complete!

 * Sedal-Godjal: ...Ah, justaru the person I wanted to see. There's something I wanted to ask you...How did you use that malevolent magic doll to track me down?

You tell Sedal-Godjal how you tracked him.

Sedal-Godjal: The Aurastery ring!? So this ring is what broughtaru about my discovery. Well, I can't just throw it away...Hmmm, what to do?

Sedal-Godjal ponders for a moment.

Sedal-Godjal: Here, I'll give it to you for safekeeping. Please hold on to it until I return to the Aurastery.

 * Rukususu: I never expected to see you here again...You adventurers certainly get around. ...And now what of zee Book of zee Gods? What has become of it since zee ancient restored its magic?

You tell Rukususu of the events surrounding the book thus far.

Rukususu: ...I see. Zee Star Sybil has yet to forgive Ajido-Marujido...If she is really zat furious......It's possible zee Star Sybil intends to quash all traces of Ajido-Marujido's natural-born magical ability. Zee Dark Dungeon has zat kind of power. In my student days, I saw with my own eyes one who had met with such a fate. .....And how is poor Apururu holding up? She mustaru be worrying herself sick.

You tell the minister Apururu's plan.

Rukususu: And zat is zee course of action she has decided on? ...Such a brave girl.

Rukususu hands you the Rhinostery ring.

Rukususu: Well zen. You must take my Rhinostery ring and return to Windurst. Please help our dear Apururu.

 * Kupipi: What is it, what is it? You seem a~ll worked up about something. I don't respond to veiled threats. If you have something you want to ask me, just come out and say it.

You tell her you want the Optistery ring.

Kupipi: ...A~bsolutely not. The Orastery ring is extre~mely valuable and can't just be handed over to any old adventurer on demand. Tell me exa~ctly what you want to use it for.


 * Why do you want the ring?
 * For a jai~lbreak! <- Chose this option
 * As a favor for Minister Apu~ruru.
 * As a favor for the O~rastery.

Kupipi: !!! A~bsolutely out of the question!!!


 * Why do you want the ring?
 * For a jai~lbreak!
 * As a favor for Minister Apu~ruru. <- Chose this option
 * As a favor for the O~rastery.

Kupipi: For Minister Apururu...? There's something deci~dedly suspicious going on here.

Kupipi: You can tell the members of the Orastery that one of them can bring proof of his identity and come to Heavens Tower himself.

Kupipi: ...But maybe I've been a li~ttle hasty. You and I have known each other for a while now, and I assume you have a goo~d reason for wanting the ring. So I'll give you a li~ttle hint. The Orastery ring is being carried by Semih Lafihna. At the moment, she's off at the northwest tower of the Horutoto Ruins, dealing with the roguey-wougey Cardians.

She bobs her head up and down with a worried look on her face.

Kupipi: ...She's been gone such a lo~ng time, though, and I'm starting to worry.
