[Herico] The weather is beautiful today. *Sigh* But my body aches too badly to go out...

[ Hello!

[Herico] Shede?

[ Oh, hello. Ms. Shede asked me to drop you by. Nice to meet you, I am ^3131FF

[Herico] Ah, hello. I heard that recently an airport was built in this town. So, are you from a different city? I like to see new things...although I don't like this chilly wind. How do you like Hugel?

[ It is a peaceful and beautiful village, although I can tell that it is experiencing a change. Everyone looks happy, and they feel very different than people in the other areas. So I feel like that I am in a different land.

[Herico] Everyone has worries and happyness at the same time. You must have travelled many cities of this country, and have figured out many things on your own. Am I right?

1

Yes, you are right.

[Herico] I think that my senses are still working fine. People's eyes tell many things to me.

[Herico] I think that my senses are still working fine. People's eyes tell many things to me.
[Herico] Your eyes are telling me your admiration and astonishment toward what you have seen in Hugel, which is a totally different experience for you.
[Herico] People of Hugel don't question anyone. It is an unwritten law of this village. That is why I could have been resting in this village without worries.
[Herico] However, as I see you, I suddenly have an urge to ruminate on my past that I have never spoken to anyone. May I have a moment of your time, if you don't mind?
[Herico] Perhaps we will learn something from each other's story.

[Herico] Hmm...can you tell me your name once again?

[ Yes, my name is ^3131FF

[Herico] ^3131FF However, before I tell you my stories, I would like to ask you something. Do you mind?

[Herico] As you see, ever since an airport was built in this Hugel, many strangers are coming in and going out this village. It may be a good change for Hugel, so that more people will know about its existence. However, I have this bad feeling about the airport and airships. I do not think that this country is not extending their airlines only for the transportation purposes.

[Herico] Did you know that more and more people are using the ferry after the airport was built? Can't you see the reason of my doubt?

[Herico] Please find out the secret about the airship and the island. Then I will tell you my stories. I hope that you will do your best to find out the secret.

Dialogue ends here

[Herico] Welcome back. I have been waiting for you with eager anticipation to hear about the secret. Now, please tell me what you have found out.

Script requirement

- You told him what you have seen and heard from the Odin Shirine, - - such as Giantes, Ymir's Heart and Rekenber. -

Script requirement

[Herico] Rekenber...So, they have expanded their power even to this small village, Hugel.

Script requirement

[ Do you know about them?

Script requirement

[Herico] Of course, I know them too well.

[Herico] ............

[Herico] Thank you so much for your effort. I am afraid that your dangerous journey has not been ended.

Dialogue ends here

[Herico] Hmm...I don't know where to start.

[Herico] As you know, we have bionic machines called ^FF0000Guardians^000000. We are using Guardians to protect important facilities or to avoid meaningless murders.

[Herico] Have you ever thought about how the people in old times would protect their important facilities without guardians?

[ Perhaps, they hired many men to do that?

[Herico] Yes, you are right. For the longest time, Schwarzwald Republic had had ^3131FFMercenary Soldiers^000000 who exchanged their lives with the good money, and they used to take care of all the dirty jobs in the past.

[Herico] They lost their jobs when Rekenber successfully invented and publicized guardians. Guardians were made for humans, but sadly it was the worst thing that could happen to them.

[Herico] As they lost their jobs to guardians, they rose in rebellion called ^FF0000Mercenary Rebellion^000000.

[Herico] This Mercenary Rebellion was greatly responded to by the public. However, they lost people's trust by choosing ^3131FFa violent method^000000 to fight, instead of appealing to the public in a convincible way. In other words, they lost their game by making a critical mistake.

[Herico] Ever since their rebellion was failed, survivors of the rebellion have disappeared beyond history.

[Herico] Not only that, they held a fight with guardians in ^FF0000the Sage Varmunt's birthplace^000000 which was our proud national treasure! So the house was completely destroyed by the battle, and since then, no one knows where Sage Varmunt is.

[ Sage Varmunt.....!

[Herico] Oh...I must have been really upset about it.

[Herico] To be honest with you, Sage Varmunt is partially responsible on guardians. You know that he was the one who created their motive power.

[Herico] It is riduculous that the mercenary soldiers were trying to make their revenge on Sage Varmunt for inventing guardians, you know. But, it is understandable because they lost their jobs to guardians.

[Herico] I heard about the Mercenary Rebellion after everything was ended, so there was nothing that I could do about Sage Varmunt. He disappeared, and I couldn't figure out more than what I found from his birth place...so... I came to Hugel and settled down here.

[Herico] I tried to find at least a little bit of his documents from his laboratory... but everything was gone...huh? Hold on, I just remember something very important!

[Herico] Where are all of his research documents? No...did mercenary soldiers took them or...possibly dispose them?

[Herico] Damn it! I am so stupid! Grrr... How couldn't I think about this earlier?

[Herico] I have to take a long time to remember everything about the incident, but you must understand that this is an extremely important matter.

[Herico] Mercenary Rebellion was a huge issue back then. Hopefully, there will be at least one news reporter who remembers about the rebellion.

[Herico] Please go to Lighthalzen and find a news reporter who still remembers about the rebellion. If you find him, please ask him if he knows whereabouts of the rebellion survivors, so that you can find out what happened to Sage Varmunt and his research documents.

[Herico] Did you find Sage Varmunt's research documents?

I ate them.

I ate them.
[Herico] Hahaha! That's funny!
[ No, it is not funny.
[Herico] .................
[Herico] Then...SPIT THEM OUT!
[Herico] SPIT THEM OUT!
[Herico] I SAID, SPIT THEM OUUUUUT!
[ Err...I was just kidding...
[Herico] Haha, the first part was funny, but the second part was kind of scary, you know?
[Herico] So, tell me, where are all of his research documents?
[ Rekenber has taken them into their possession.

Rekenber has taken them into their possession.

Rekenber has taken them into their possession.

[Herico] ...........................

[Herico] It was expected.

[ What do you have in mind?

[Herico] First, I think that I should inform you about my true identity. I may now be an old man whose days are numbered, but I used to work at ^3131FFthe Ymir's Heart imitation research department in Regenschirm laboratory^000000 under Sage Varmunt's supervision.

[Herico] You look very surprised.

[ Does it mean that you are the one who created the Ymir's Heart imitation?

[Herico] Well, I was a mere assistant of Sage Varmunt, so I can't say that I created it.

[Herico] Rekenber has been secretly gathering ^FF0000Ymir's Heart Pieces^000000. They are very obsessed with Ymir's Heart Pieces, and I guess that it is because of the enormous power that the heart pieces possess within..

[Herico] However, the power of the original heart pieces are too strong for humans to control. Thus, it is not fiseable to manipulate the power as energy sources. That is why ^3131FFthe imitations of Ymir's Heart Pieces^000000 have been created.

[Herico] We, researchers including Sage Varmunt, endeavoured our effort in studying and analyzing the revolutionary energy source for a long time. And our effort has gained a fruitful result; the Imitations of Ymir's Heart Piece.

[Herico] With the invention, we could create guardians. We were so happy for the fact that we finally made our dream come true.

[ But, Sage Varmunt was against the idea of using guardians for militant purposes, and I heard that he also participated in the Mercenary Rebellion.

- You told him what you knew about the Mercenary Rebellion. -

[Herico] Hmm...now I see.

[Herico] After we succeeded in creating the imitations of Ymir's Heart Piece, Sage Varmunt looked pretty depressed for some reason. After all, he left the laboratory and said that ^3131FFby him staying with Regenschirm laboratory will make everyone miserable^000000. I still don't figure out why he said that.

[Herico] He was a really great scholar. He always tried to use his knowledge in science for humankind.

[Herico] As expected, after Sage Varmunt left Regenschirm, almost every research process started stagnating. Even many projects were canceled or postponed.

[Herico] The upper management were threatened by the phenomenon, so they yelled at people to ^FF0000continue with their research by all means^000000. They even allowed people to experiment on anything that is alive.

[Herico] ...................... That gave me a reason to leave Regenschirm.

[Herico] Rekenber will do anything to achieve their goals. They have become too powerful to just be considered a big corporation.

[ That was why they founded the "Bio Lab" in order to continue with their research without Sage Varmunt.

[Herico] What? "Bio Lab"? I didn't image that they could even think of that! I can't express enough of my resentment toward them!

[Herico] Science is to benefit humankinds, not to harm them. I think that something must be done. Can you bring me a glass of water?

Dialogue ends here

[Herico] Can you guess what I am thinking right now?

[Herico] I am thinking about ^3131FFdestroying Regenschirm^000000.

[Herico] Rekenber has become as powerful as this Schwarzwald Republic. I don't think that I could destroy the entire corporation. But even if I could, it could also lead to the fall of my country, because that's who big Rekenber means to this country.

[Herico] So, instead, I am thinking to destroy "Regenschirm". Because the laboratory may not be as big as the corporation, but at the same time, it has a great meaning to them. I want to stop their inhumane and dangerous practice in research.

[Herico] ...*Sigh*...Unfortunately, I do not possess any power to proceed with my plan. Thus, I need your help, desperately.

[Herico] Let me hear your opinion. Will you join me in destroying Regenschirm?

[Herico] I knew that you are too righteous to neglect lies and injustice. I have seen that through your eyes. I don't know how much we can achieve with this mission, but it is very meaningful for us to at least try.
[Herico] Let's discuss further what we should do.
Dialogue ends here
Dialogue ends here

[Herico] We must find out how we can stop them from doing more evil things, at least for a while. Regenschirm is a historic laboratory, and thus an enormous amount of accumulated research data has been saved within the laboratory. Without the research data, all the researching activity within Regenschirm will not be progressed.

[Herico] Regenschirm is located at the underground level of Rekenber's Lighthalzen headquarters. It is where their filthy ambitions are reflected on. Please sneak into the laboratory and bring ^FF0000their research data^000000 to me.

[Herico] Regenschirm is located at the underground level of Rekenber's Laighthalzen headquarters. Can you sneak into the place and bring me their research data?

Dialogue ends here

[Herico] Ah, you are back.

[ I had a little bit of trouble because I was caught by a guard. But I took care of it.

[Herico] Thank you so much for your trouble. Haha, since they lost their research data, they wouldn't be able to continue with their research at least for a while, I hope.

[Herico] Now, let's get into the next step, shall we? I know that you have gone through many difficulties so far, but this might be the most difficult thing that you've ever done.

[Herico] In my opinion, the bio lab is the most important facility in Regenschirm. We must not let that kind of inhumane place exist in this world any longer. I am so horrified by the thought that they have been doing all sorts of evil things under an excuse of scientific research.

[Herico] As I analyzed the research data which you have brought to me, the bio lab is consisted of 3 levels, and I suspect that the 2nd level is used to perform experimental research on living bodies.

[Herico] I am pretty sure that we can find a miner who knows how to make Marine Sphere Bottles in ^3131FFEinbech^000000, since the Marine Sphere Bottles are needed to blast tunnels inside mines.

[Herico] Haha...you know what I am going to ask you now, don't you?

[Herico] Please go meet with ^3131FFthe Marine Sphere Bottle manufacturer^000000, and purchase some Marine Sphere Bottles. And explode ^3131FFthe bio experiment equipment^000000 in the 2nd level of bio lab!

[Herico] I know that this is a difficult task. But, please understand that you are the only hope that I have. Please stop them from performing experimental research on living bodies!

[Herico] If you know anyone who can create Marine Sphere Bottles for you, you may use his instead.

Dialogue ends here

[ The machine was blown up.

[Herico] Excellent! Excellent!

[Herico] Now, I am relieved that they won't be able to proceed with their bio research at least for a while. You did a great job, and I am so proud of you.

[Herico] I assume that there are some failed experimental objects remaining within the laboratory. According to the research document, those experimental objects are identified with ^3131FFHandcuffs^000000.

[Herico] From now on, I will reward you every time when you bring me a certain amount of the Handcuffs.

[Herico] And...even though we succeeded in stopping them for now, it will not last that long. We need someone who has a power to stop them permanently. Sadly, I am not the one.

[Herico] By any chance, do you know a man who can aid his power in stopping them?

[ I think that I know one...

Script requirement

[Herico] Okay, tell me who he is.

Script requirement

[ Mr. President.....! Mr. President must be the one who can help us.

Script requirement

[Herico] You mean Karl...something something? I may well say that Rekenber owns this country. I don't think that he has not been influenced by them.

Script requirement

[ No, Mr. President, who I know, has been trying to free this country from Rekenber. Even if he was frustrated by a ridiculous reason at the last time, I believe that he has not given up in his hope.

Script requirement

[Herico] Hmm...I see. Then I must count on your word. I am giving the research data back to you, so please bring it to Mr. President. Let's see how well he can handle it. I appreciate you for doing everything for me so far, I really appreciate it.

[Herico] Why are you still here? That research data will aid a great help to Mr. President. Please deliver it to him as soon as you can.

Regarding Sage Varmunt's documents

Available immediately

[Herico] I don't think that you have brought me 100 Handcuffs.

Dialogue ends here

[Herico] When I checked the research data that you have brought to me, it seemed that Sage Varmunt wrote his documents in cipher, so they could not decode them. That explains why they have been obsessed with bionic researches to figure out on their own.
