• [ Are you sure that you don't know anything about ^3131FFHikeman^000000?

• [Shinokas] No...! I've never met Buender Hikeman in my entire li--

• [Shinokas] ... .......

• [ I was right. You're Shinokas!

• [Shinokas] Curses! I've blown my cover! W-wait! How much do you know?!

• [Shinokas] Did ^3131FFthey^000000 send you? ^333333*Sigh*^000000 I think that this is it. I'll never be able to solve the secret before I die.

• [Shinokas] Okay. Get on with it. I'm ready now...

• [ Tell me everything you know related to that incident where the mine tunnel collapsed around you and Hikeman.

• [Shinokas] ...? Errr.... You're not here to kill me?

• [ No...! I'm here to find out the truth!

• [Shinokas] That means... I still have some time. This must be destiny! Alright, I'll tell you what happened. But it's a long story...

• Dialogue ends here

• [Shinokas] How much do you know about the accident? No, wait. Don't answer that. I don't want to hear it.

• [Shinokas] I admit it. Yes. I stabbed my friends in the back. It was an unforgivable sin that will haunt me until the day I die.

• [Shinokas] I sold out my friends for money. I destroyed that tunnel and killed them. But I suppose I was tricked as well. ^3131FFThey^000000 never intended to keep their end of our agreement.

• [Shinokas] After I destroyed the tunnel, they targeted me and I ended spending the rest of my life being pursued and running from place to place. What the hell was that ^3131FFore^000000 and why was it so important?

• [Shinokas] I need to know more about that ore if it's worth killing for. That's why I've risked sneaking into Einbroch. Supposedly, an ore similar to the one we found has been transported here recently.

  Did you find it?

  Available immediately

  • Dialogue ends here

• [Shinokas] No, not yet. I've been searching for that ore every night. During the day, this kind blacksmith has managed to hide me from those men.

• [Shinokas] But I won't be safe for very long. Look, I'm no saint, but before I die, I wanna do this one last thing and see what's so great about this ore...

• 1

  Wait, who's trying to get you?

  Available immediately

  • Dialogue ends here

• [Shinokas] Who's trying to kill me? The people who hired me and my friends to dig up that ore in the first place. We thought they were ordinary businessmen, but... They're dangerous.

• [Shinokas] So I told you everything and now you know that my days might be numbered. Please do an old man a favor and search Einbroch for that strange, mysterious ore.

• [Shinokas] Now, the first thing I learned in this town is that the richest family is the Kapellthaines. Only the rich and powerful can possibly be involved in something so big.

• [Shinokas] Would you search Kappellthaine Manor for that ore? It's on the way to the Airport and it shouldn't be hard to miss. They're the richest people in Einbroch, after all.

• [Shinokas] I'm too old and weak to leave this house, and there's the chance that those men will find me. If you can sympathize with my situation, please find out if the Kapellthaine family has any unique ores...

• Dialogue ends here

• [Shinokas] Please... Find out if the Kapellthaines are keeping some kind of unique ore. Their manor is on the road that leads to the Airport.

• Dialogue ends here

• [Shinokas] So, did you find anything from the Kapellthaines?

• [ Well, Mr. Kapellthaine is kind of violent, but I didn't find anything really suspicious.

• [Shinokas] Huh... I must have been wrong, then... Where else could it be?

• [Shinokas] Oh, right! The huge factory in Einbroch! What could be more suspicious? There's a ton of workers, but no one really knows what they do there...

• [Shinokas] If they're so secretive, it's possible that they're keeping the ore over there. Please go and search the Factory for that ore as soon as you can.

• Dialogue ends here

• [Shinokas] So...? Did you learn anything new in the Factory?

  Script requirement

• [ Well... There's a lot of suspicious business in the factory, but I don't think any of it is related to that ore you mentioned.

  Script requirement

• [Shinokas] Damn it... Then where did they hide it? Where do you think that ore might be?

  Script requirement

  Airport

  [Shinokas] No... The Airport is always crowded with people. It'd be a bad idea to hide something so important in that kind of place.

  Laboratory

  [Shinokas] ...! Yes. Yes...! That could be it! Why didn't I think about the Laboratory? It makes so much sense!

  Script requirement

  • [Shinokas] ...! Yes. Yes...! That could be it! Why didn't I think about the Laboratory? It makes so much sense!

    Script requirement

  • [Shinokas] I have a good feeling about this. Please sneak into that Laboratory and see if you can find the ore!

    Script requirement

  • [Shinokas] Remember... Not just anybody can enter that kind of place. But I'm sure you'll figure something out.

    Script requirement

• [Shinokas] I'm really in no position to ask and I'm not trying to give you a hard time on purpose, but would you please check for any traces of the ore in the Factory once again?

• Dialogue ends here

• [ Shinokas, I found something!

• [Shinokas] You... Came... back... Even... if... it's already... Too late. ^333333*Cough Cough*^000000

• ^3355FFYou help Shinokas sit up, but find that your hands have been stained with his blood.^000000

• [ Blood...?! Shinokas! Who did this to you? W-we need to call for help!

• [Shinokas] No... It's already too late for me. I should have died a long time ago...

• [Shinokas] ^333333*Cough*^000000 I only regret that I've never been able to apologize to my friends... ^333333*Cough!*^000000

• [Shinokas] But did you find out? D-did you find out what's so special about that ore? W-what is it... Really?

• [ It was...

• [ It was ^3131FF

• [Shinokas] Y-Ymir...? The h-heart of Ymir? The power to control the world... We really did find something great, didn't we?

  Script requirement

• [Shinokas] I remember... The first time we saw it. We... We were so excited. So amazed and proud...

  Script requirement

• [Shinokas] But digging up... Something so great... Was only possible with-- ^333333*Cough*^000000 -- M-my buddies...

  Script requirement

• [Shinokas] ^333333*Cough*^000000 It's getting... Darker... I... Don't have to run anymore.
