"Darx! Emergency!"

<name "Darx">
"Hm?
 What's up?"
#
<removesprite -1 11>
Maki comes barging in.

"Meryl could be executed!"
#
<name "Darx">
"Huh?"
#
<name "Maki" "!YA0036">
"Ask Rakia for the details.
 That's all she told me and then said to go get
 you.
 Aah! Whatever! Just hurry!"
#
<name "Darx">
"A-All right."
#
<removesprite -1 11>
I go to Rakia's shop, rushed by her.

"Meryl made a mistake."
#
<removesprite -1 11>
Rakia gets right to it.
#
<sprite "ta09a008.agf" 4 4 11>
<name "Rakia" "!EA0559">
"There are some jewels the Overlord treasures
 here in the Forzelotte Shrine."
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0560">
"She was attacked by an adventurer while she
 was cleaning one of them and it was stolen."
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0561">
"The Overlord is furious."
#
<name "Darx">
"And what about Meryl?"
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0562">
"She chased after the adventurer who took the
 jewel, but she's been hurt considerably."
#
<name "Darx">
"So she can't handle it. But come on, 
 it's treasure in a dungeon. Don't you expect
 them to take it? Why execute her for that?"
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0563">
"If she had obtained permission from the
 Overlord to clean them, there probably 
 wouldn't have been any issue, but..."
#
<name "Darx">
"She did it on her own?"
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0564">
"Yes. There are many devices protecting them,
 so normally they're extremely difficult to 
 take out, but all of them were disabled so
 she could clean them..."
#
<name "Darx">
"And so, off with her head, huh?"
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0565">
"Yes, however, don't you think this would be a
 good opportunity to put her in your debt?"
#
<name "Darx">
"Hmph. Banking favors with her doesn't do me 
 any good if the Overlord's out for her head."
#
You want people on their way up to owe you,
not people on their way into the grave.
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0566">
"Then let me put it another way."
#
<name "Darx">
"Hm?"
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0567">
"As things stand, the punishment might also
 extend to her subordinates, such as you."
#
That'd be a disaster!
#
<name "Darx">
"...So what should I do?"
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0568">
"For now, recovering the jewel is the top
 priority. If you can't get it back, then 
 I doubt anything you could say to the Overlord
 will matter."
#
<name "Darx">
"All right, but why are you trying to save her?"
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0569">
"She was careless, but she was cleaning them
 for the Overlord."
#
<name "Darx">
"All right.
 ...Is the adventurer who stole it even still
 in the dungeons?"
#
<name "Rakia" "!EA0570">
"Don't worry about that.
 Apparently they've gotten lost."
#
<removesprite -1 11>
Moron.
#
But who knows when they'll get away?
#
I should hurry.
