The smell of Hard Cider, nyerk! Like summer days when Tassinerk was a young Shugo.

Tassinerk would hide from the heat in old shed near father's shop, and what does Daeva suppose was in that shed?

Barrels and barrels of hard cider, and I drank them all that summer, nyerk.

Yes, yes! And now Tassinerk can never get enough. Not much Kinah from excavation though, nyerk.

But sometimes information is just as valuable as Kinah, akakakak!

What do you say, Daeva? Valuable information for Hard Cider?

How much Hard Cider do you have, nyerk nyerk?

Tassinerk will take all you've got--you just have one cup? I'll drink it. If Daeva has 10 cups, or 100 cups, then give me what you have, nyerk nyerk.

Hard Cider costs 517 Kinah per cup, right? Tassinerk will make sure that you earn enough Kinah. Akakakakak!

You don't trust Tassinerk, nyerk?

It is so hot and I am so tired....

You won't even give a cup of Hard Cider to a poor Shugo?

Pooh, you are so stingy...

There's Kinah to be made, Daeva--just take time to look around.

A little information--a few opportunities. Daeva needs Kinah and Tassinerk needs Hard Cider.

Tassinerk will give Daeva information worth as much as the cider.

Think hard and give me all you've got, Nyerk.

Just one cup? That's all?

Daeva wants to offer Tassinerk one cup and then profit from my words, nyerk?

Oh, well, it doesn't matter. I'm so thirsty. Just give it to me now.

10 cups? 10 cups, nyerk? Tassinerk had valuable information for 100 cups. That's sad, nyerk.

Give me 10 cups anyway. I'm about to die of thirst, nyerk nyerk.

Daeva's sure there isn't any more?

Really? Daeva has 100 cups of Hard Cider, nyerk nyerk?

Tassinerk has good information. Just give me the cider, nyerk.

So, 100 cups of Hard Cider are worth about 51,700 Kinah.

Tassinerk's information is worth much more than 51,700 Kinah. Trust me and give me the cider.

Well, time for Tassinerk to drink his cider....Oh, what is this? This isn't as much as you told me!

Check the cube again, nyerk.

Daeva make promises not to keep them, nyerk nyerk!

Oh, Tassinerk loves this sweet Hard Cider!

Nyerk...feel so much better.

Very well. Information now.

Listen carefully, Daeva. We should not let Jiufarinerk overhear us, nyerk.

Here...take this earring.

Jiufarinerk dropped it.

She built a fire, even when she saw Tassinerk breaking out in sweat. When she dropped the earring, Tassinerk snatched it and kept it because she was so mean, nyerk.

It's Aquamarine--quite valuable. If Daeva gives it back to her, she'll give a reward.

Jiufarinerk is so cold here, nyerk nyerk!

I can't even build a fire because...someone...is whining about hot weather.

Maybe...someone...ate some ginseng to keep himself healthy, but weak Shugo like Jiufarinerk can't stand the cold, nyerk!

Where did Daeva get this? I've been looking all over for this, nyerk! Dear my beautiful earring, where have you been?

So so strange. Jiufarinerk looked everywhere, but couldn't find it.

Thanks so much, Daeva! Akakakak!

Hard cider! I live for this, nyerk!

Do you know about Emerald Stone Plate? Tassinerk heard it is a rare relic of ancient Atreia. Very valuable!

This relic might be in an auction in Sanctum.

Daeva is so dense, nyerk!

Someone dug up relic...someone wants to sell it. Quietly.

Meniherk Union dug it up. The mastermind is Guorinerk! He'll try to bribe you, of course.

Diggers still digging, not finding much. Guorinerk under big big pressure, nyerk.

Not many relics in Alisary Coast.

We'll have to find a better place, nyerk nyerk.

Shush, Daeva! Somebody hears this, somebody might think it's true. Who told you this, nyerk nyerk?

If relic was excavated, Guorinerk would report it to the union.

Not legal to keep. Union law, Daeva.

Bah, all right. Keep your voice down--porters will hear, nyerk.

Yes, yes, we found Emerald Stone Plate, but Guorinerk was going to report it to the union. Honestly, nyerk!

Jiufarinerk bribed Guorinerk to keep mouth shut. Guorinerk would get more selling Emerald Stone Plate, yes.

Don't tell Jiufarinerk I told you. Never mention me, nyerk nyerk.

Aren't Jiufarinerk's earrings beautiful? Quite, quite expensive, too.

I show these earrings to Shugos, they whine, "No Kinah!" Akakakak!

Jiufarinerk can't pay for everything on union salary--prices are so high, nyerk.

Shhhhh! Let's settle this quietly, nyerk.

Jiufarinerk was going to report to the union, but Yadamonerk said take this money and keep mouth shut.

He'll send it to Sanctum, so talk to Yadamonerk.

Union Leader Meniherk had high high hopes for Theobomos.

Now he's mad--so few relics--so little Kinah, nyerk.

Yadamonerk is in awkward situation. It's not like Shugo can make relics....

Daeva, imagine this--few relics of value excavated and the captain pressing me hard, hard.

Then Yadamonerk finds the Emerald Stone Plate...what can Yadamonerk do, nyerk?

Take this and please, please, keep it secret. Otherwise, Yadamonerk gets expelled from the union, nyerk!

Oh, it's really 100 cups of Hard Cider. Akakak!

Now Tassinerk can drink and drink...for a while.

Tassinerk promised Daeva information worth lots of Kinah. Now listen closely....

Do you know Grynos, Daeva? Tassinerk's sharp eyes noticed right away that Grynos is polymorphed.

He dropped a prison inmate tag for a convict, nyerk! A Glowing Hornskull ate it, nyerk!

Question Prison Inmate Tag and find out more. Is that's worth 100 cups of Hard Cider?

So? What do you want?

If you have something to say, go ahead your class.

Gimme that!

I don't know what you think you know about me, but if I were you I'd keep my mouth shut.

How 'bout you take this and call it our secret?

What?

Don't you know that threatening a person with no evidence is illegal?

Why don't you just get lost!

1. Hand over Hard Cider to Tassinerk and obtain information.

2. Bring the Aquamarine earrings to Jiufarinerk.

3. Talk with Guorinerk.

4. Talk with Jiufarinerk.

5. Talk with Yadamonerk.

6. Find the prison inmate tag that Glowing Hornskull swallowed, and take it to Grynos.

   Prison Inmate Tag

Tassinerk likes Hard Cider, but doesn't have enough Kinah to buy it. Give him Hard Cider, obtain information from him, and turn it into Kinah.

Tassinerk said he likes Hard Cider but doesn't have Kinah to buy the cider.

He said if you give him Hard Cider, he would give you the information of equal value. You decided to trust him and gave him the cider.

You made a solid profit off of Tassinerk's information.
