Seek my Master

A hunter's lost on Ragol. What happened?

Client: Shino, android
Quest: My master, 'Great Sword Zoke' disappeared. Help me find him.
Reward: 6000 Meseta

Pioneer 2 city

Shino: Greetings. My name is Shino. [NAME] please help me find my master, Zoke Miyama. I have not received any communication from him since he went to Ragol. What? Oh, I understand. It is true that androids these days are independent. But not I. My exterior has been replaced, but I am an old type model. I have served Mr. Miyama for over three generations. I have always been with my master, but he went to Ragol by himself. He would not allow me to accompany him. So I stayed on Pioneer 2. I have been waiting, because Zoke ordered it. But he has not returned. He has not relayed any messages either. This is very unusual. I am afraid Zoke in trouble now... The signal from Zoke's swords are registered to my sensor. I can detect them if they are in close proximity to me. I want to find Zoke with my sensor. Please help me.

Shino joins you.

Hopkins: Great Sword Zoke? Of course I've heard of him. All Hunters have. I just know him by name. He's a legendary hunter who uses three weapons. I heard the government keeps an eye on him because of his power. He's not that young now.; They say that Zoke is always with his faithful android. Just like you.

Tekker: You... [press A] Want to hear about the legend of the 4 swords?

Yes

Tekker: Long ago, the families of 3 famous blacksmiths were executed by a king. The 3 blacksmiths wanted vengeance against the king and the nation. The three blacksmiths and one of their pupils each created a sword. And their nation collapsed soon after. It was said that the four swords led the nation to ruin. These 4 swords were said to have the power to destroy a planet. And Zoke, the Great Sword, had 3 of these 4 legendary swords. The legend was so famous that many created "the 4th legendary sword." There are so many fakes. It's difficult to tell which is the real one.

Tekker: You aren't interested in the old story?

Tekker (after having told the story): And Zoke, the Great Sword, had 3 of these 4 legendary swords.

Ruins 1

Approach the doorway to the big waterfall room.

Shino walks forward some distance, then stops.

Shino: ... ... ...

The screen fades for a moment. It brightens in shades of grey.

Zoke: Shino...! You fool...!
Shino: Ah, yeah... I'm all right...
Zoke: No, you're not all right! You're an older model, so you can't handle intense combat. Now go back to Pioneer 2!
Shino: But...
Zoke: No buts! [takes a few steps forward] I am ordering you as your owner.
Shino: ... ... ... [Bernie walks away a distance] OK, I understand.

Shino takes a couple steps away from them. Bernie approaches Zoke.

Bernie: ... ... ... Are you sure about this?
Zoke: ... ... ... It doesn't matter. She'll be a burden to us if she came along. ... ... ...

Shino takes a few steps toward the other two. Zoke watches back for a moment, then walks away with Bernie. The screen fades again for a while. When it brightens again, the colours are back to normal.

Shino: Zoke...

Kill all the enemies in the big waterfall room.

Shino: ...... No signal on this floor. Let us move on to the next floor.

Ruins 2

When you start moving, an earthquake occurs.

Shino: ...... It's not an earthquake.

Approach the door with 2 switches in front of it.

Shino: ...... Signal detected. Near here... He must be around here somewhere. Where is he?

Kill all the enemies in next room. Shino picks up an item, shown as a sparkle.

Narrator: Got sword, KAMUI!
Shino: Confirmed. This is his right sword. I cannot believe that he left it behind... Look at the walls. These marks were made with swords...

Approach the door in the next room.

Shino: ...... Signal detected again. It is on this floor. This time...it is him...

Bernie (lying on the floor): ...... Shino...? Ha, ha, ha... It's a shame... I made a mistake. I wanted to help Zoke, but I was just too weak...; ...Shino ...Zo...ke... ......

Kill all the enemies in the next room. Shino picks up an item, shown as a sparkle.

Narrator: Got sword, YASHA!
Shino: This is his left sword. It is broken, too... Residual Photon on the sword...is very unusual. What is this? It is not in my database... Zoke, are you...?

When you walk through the next hallway, another earthquake occurs.

Shino: ...Again, I felt a tremor... ...... Perhaps I can say that I have a bad premonition about this. If I were a human. ...... ! Signal detected... Zoke always brings three different swords. One of them must be here. Zoke...!

Kill all the enemies in the next room, and you can talk to Zoke.

Zoke (lying on the ground): ... ... Shi...no...? Shino, why are you here? I told you not to come. This planet is... critical to you. That's why I told you to stay on Pioneer 2. You idiot... ...... Shino, I'm about to die. Give the people on Pioneer 2 my message. Leave here immediately. Right now. Listen, Shino. I appreciate the service you've provided for me over all the long years. You are free now. You can choose to find a new master or to live your own life now. Please do as you wish...

Shino leaves you.

Zoke: ......

Shino: ...... ...[NAME] thank you very much. I will stay here. "Leave here immediately, Pioneer 2!" I don't know the basis for which he said his last words... But it must be important to Pioneer 2. But for me, it is much more important to be with my master, Zoke. Can you tell the Guild Zoke's message for me? Take this. It is Zoke's sword and it proves you completed this quest.
Narrator: Got sword, SANGE!

Shino: Zoke, I shall always be at your side. ......
Zoke: ......

Shino seems to shortcut.

Shino: ......

Pioneer 2 city

Tekker: Perhaps Zoke's mind was occupied by the mystery of the swords...

Hopkins: Zoke is dead...? I've never met him, but he's highly respected by all the hunters here. I'm so sorry.

Claim your reward.

Narrator: You've been awarded 6000 Meseta.
