00:01I'm out and out of time
00:31Hey, it's you! I didn't expect to see you here in the Administrative District. How have you been lately?
00:38Great to hear. Since the Stellaron Crisis subsided, Belobog's been feeling a little-
00:43And yes, things are going well for me too. Thanks for asking.
00:47You spent so much time in Belobog on your last visit. You must have passed by here before, right?
00:52This is Belobog's History and Culture Museum. Built more than 600 years ago.
00:57Last time you visited, it was closed for its 10-year renovation.
01:01Now that the Stellaron Crisis is over, we've been able to allocate more manpower to the renovation works.
01:07The museum should be open to the public again soon.
01:10It's just...
01:13We encountered a problem during the renovation process. The Silvermane Guards are doing all they can to figure it out.
01:20I...
01:22Sorry. I shouldn't talk about it in the open like this.
01:26Hey, why don't I give you a tour of the museum? We can talk inside while I show you around.
01:31If you have time, that is.
01:34Great. What are we waiting for?
01:48Welcome to Belobog's History and Culture Museum. As you can see, after nearly 100 days of renovation, the interior looks
01:56brand new.
01:59However, there's a problem that needs to be resolved before it can open to the public.
02:05The museum was established nearly 600 years ago as a memorial to honor Alyssa Rand, the first Supreme Guardian, and
02:14the martyrs who gave their lives in the battle against the invaders from beyond the sky.
02:18As time went on, new exhibits were continually added to the memorial until it became the museum we see today.
02:28As the reception hall, you'll find the general hall, the museum's largest exhibition room.
02:36There are all sorts of exhibits on display. Paintings by famous artists. Samples of the planet's crust. Visitors can experience
02:45the essence of Belobog's culture in just a few minutes' time.
02:50I really hope the museum can open up soon. The children here need a culturally enriching environment. Especially those from
02:59the underworld.
03:01But like I mentioned earlier, we're in a bit of a bind. We could really use a helping hand.
03:10Here. This is the issue we're trying to deal with.
03:17It was stolen. It was one of the oldest and most precious items in the General Hall collection. The meteor
03:24fragment.
03:25It is said that 700 years ago, the invaders from beyond the sky descended upon the surface of Urillo-6
03:31with a meteor shower.
03:33The meteor fragment is solid evidence that those invaders once tainted our land.
03:38Ahem. Sorry, the tour guide in me gets a little carried away. I'm not here to give you a history
03:45lesson.
03:46Still, it's no exaggeration to say that if the meteor fragment isn't recovered, the museum will lose half of its
03:53significance.
03:57Not yet. That's why this case is such a conundrum for the Silvermane guards.
04:01Truth be told, the meteor fragment isn't the only item that was stolen. We want the museum to open as
04:07soon as possible. We can worry about the other missing items later.
04:12Of course! I wouldn't ask you to start a whole investigation from scratch.
04:16The guards stationed in the underworld reported that some suspicious characters have been meeting at a hideout in the Great
04:20Mine late at night.
04:21Since the Silvermane guards are still getting situated in the underworld and we don't have any direct evidence, we haven't
04:27been able to apprehend any suspects.
04:30But, if you were to go there yourself and ask around, I think we could gather a lot of useful
04:36intel.
04:37So, would you like to help solve this case?
04:42Sounds promising. I'll meet you in the underworld then.
04:45So, what would you expect?
04:50Now, I'm going to be at the door.
04:50I'm going to take a while now, so I'm gonna get youräss.
04:51So, here's one.
04:52Let's move on.
04:53Now, let's move on.
04:58Let's move on.
05:04Let's move on.
05:10Let's move on.
05:14Now, how about that?
05:14Cut them!
05:48the conditions here are so rudimentary i wonder how long those people have been living here
05:54back to the investigation we contacted an agent from wildfire apparently she has some first-hand
05:59intel i think her name was sueta yes that's right let's go pay her a visit
06:13what oh it's you i thought i'd been discovered let's try not to make a commotion you never know
06:19who's listening that bad huh how many exhibit thieves are there a lot i don't know if you're
06:25aware miss but any intel that makes money spreads like wildfire in the underworld travel between the
06:29overworld and the underworld has been open for some time but not everyone down here can take
06:33advantage of that opportunity the majority of underworlders have to stay here to feed their
06:38families from what i hear smuggling museum artifacts is a lucrative enterprise if i wasn't working for
06:43wildfire i'd be tempted to get in on the cash myself not for certain but i've heard some rumors that
06:50might be of interest to you i'm all ears firstly the group in question has a very public presence
06:56they post recruitment notices all over the street if you can find a notice you might be able to
07:02glean some clues from it secondly they're rash and careless in their work they've been seen carrying
07:07large crates of illicit goods around the mines and selling them out in the open without even trying
07:11to hide anything from the miners thirdly i heard there are children in the mines that might be
07:16involved i haven't had the chance to look into it they keep an eye out i see thanks for the
07:24intel i'm
07:25sure it'll help us crack the case well i'm going to head for the settlement and see if i can
07:30get
07:30more intel from the locals in the meantime do you think you can head out and look for more clues
07:34we can compare notes when you're done i'm counting on you
07:47my daddy made a lot of money this month he bought me lots of new clothes things you can't even
07:53find in
07:53the underworld my daddy bought me a super rare present he got me a model tram betcha haven't seen
08:03one of those before that costs way much more than boring clothes sounds like their parents bought them
08:09expensive gifts recently if people in the underworld want to get rich what options do they have this is noteworthy
08:36time for sword play
08:40they're not like the other way
08:41i think i'm going to have a lot of money
08:42that's half the work

08:52forward
09:00go
09:04strike the heart
09:07Swords descend!
09:13I weep for the departing.
09:23Reach the end of the story in your own way.
09:47Keep the end of the story close to the other side.
09:48To the previous story, grab the end of the story.
09:53The back-up of the story does not matter.
10:02Teach the end.
10:03They don't miss them as possible.
10:09What are these two doing sneaking around?
10:13Beep, beep, alert, alert, nosy person spotted.
10:17Beep, beep, protect the goods, protect the goods.
10:24How many can you block?
10:27Land and splash!
10:29Still large, let's...
10:38Lance, ready.
10:50That one.
10:55Reach the end of the story in your own way.
10:58Empty.
10:59These crates were probably used to store stolen items.
11:04Someone left robots to guard them.
11:06Looks like I'm too late.
11:08Let's look elsewhere.
11:09The three rumors to what I talked about, I'll check out.
11:17Time to meet back up with Pela.
11:23Oh, good, you're back.
11:24Did you find any critical intel?
11:27I see.
11:29Looks like someone is getting the miners involved in this dealing after all.
11:33I made some progress, too.
11:35The miners here said they've noticed some people acting strange recently.
11:38A few vagrants who almost never leave the great mine have suddenly started making trips to Boulder Town.
11:45I asked the Silvermane guard station there to go investigate some places of interest.
11:49I hope they find something.
11:51Hey!
11:52We've got some news!
12:19What a stroke of luck!
12:20I didn't expect to get a break in the investigative...
12:22Come on!
12:23Let's go to the Gerda Grand Hotel!
12:25I hope this isn't some sort of cover-up operation.
12:40It's still early.
12:4113 now.
13:06This must be the box.
13:07Let's open it.
13:10Let's see.
13:11The color.
13:12The texture.
13:14Yep.
13:15This is the stolen meteor fragment, all right?
13:21I've done a lot of research into artifact authentication techniques.
13:24You can trust my judgment.
13:25I understand why you're suspicious, though.
13:28This whole investigation was a little too easy.
13:31In any case, now that we have the meteor fragment,
13:33the museum can now open to the public.
13:35As for trekking down the thief,
13:37I'm afraid it'll be a long-term project.
13:40When the time comes,
13:42we may need your assistance again.
13:44Let's go.
13:44We need to take this item back to the museum where it belongs.
14:08It's still early.
14:09Where to now?
14:33Now the General Hall can return to its former glory.
14:36Thanks for your help.
14:37The meteor fragment.
14:39It's so majestic.
14:44The value of items housed here can't be measured in money alone.
14:47But this little piece of stone could fetch a mountain of cash.
14:51The General Hall is ready to open to the public again.
14:54Oh, by the way,
14:55the museum's previous manager resigned recently
14:58to pursue his dream of becoming a writer.
15:00So if you're interested,
15:02do you think you'd like to take out the post part-time?
15:05I promise you it won't be a boring job.
15:06I promise you it won't be a good job.
15:13What does that mean?
15:15Well, you didn't say no,
15:16so I'll count that as yes.
15:18Now that that's settled,
15:19let's go pay a visit to the museum lobby secretary, Aris.
15:22She's a talented worker
15:24can tell you everything there is to know about Museum Matters.
15:41So that's a wonderful mark.
15:41Which sets you all together cool,
15:42OK, this area is all I want.
