Yuria:That's a really old weapon, isn't it? I noticed it right away. Nobody uses something like that anymore.
Noah:... I did pick it up earlier. But it's nothing suspicious... and it's not cursed.
Yuria:Oh? You seem confident about that. Do you mind if I take a look, just in case?
Yuria:Hmm... Ah... Ah ha! You're right. I don't think it's cursed. But it's strange. It feels like...
Noah:(... The priestess said, the altar should calm my uncontrollable power and allow the power to seep out of my body.)
Noah:(Since that weapon was right next to the altar, it might have been affected by my power. Perhaps that's what she's sensing?)
Yuria:... a seal!
Noah:Huh?
Yuria:I wasn't too sure, because this pattern is not widely used, but it's definitely a seal! Likely invented by the caster. Wow, you don't see this kind of enchantment every day!
Noah:(I didn't notice any of that...)
Noah:(Not that I'm gifted in magic... I suppose it makes sense that I wouldn't.)
Yuria:Usually this kind of spell can only be removed by the caster, but these days, most ancient spells have been translated.
Yuria:I think I can remove it. How about it?
Noah:Is it alright? We don't even know what kind of seal it is.
Yuria:Oh... I guess it could be a teensy bit dangerous?
Yuria:Buuut! You gotta know what you gotta know, right?
Noah:.......
Yuria:Aren't you curious? There must be something worth hiding in this weapon, if the caster went through this much trouble to seal it!
Noah:Something worth hiding...
Misty:(This was the only way to hid you away safely.)
Noah:... I suppose this weapon may have some story behind it.
Yuria:Right? Doesn't it make you excited? Let me know if you want to remove the seal! I may not look like it, but I'm the Landar family's SECOND! Youngest genius magician! Huhu.
Noah:Isn't it no longer impressive if you're only the second...?
Yuria:Hm?
Noah:Ah, it... it's nothing. Landar you said? Is that... a magician family?
Yuria:LANDARRR... Never heard of it? Really? Um...
Yuria:Hehe, I guess if you're not interested in magic, there's no reason you should! I just thought you might be, since we're at an ancient temple. Anyway...
Yuria:So how about it? Would you like me to remove the seal? I don't offer this kind of service every day, you know!
Yuria:I'll do it as a favor, since you saved my life earlier!
Noah:It seems to me, you just want to satiate your curiosity...
When the magician, Yuria, removed the seal on the weapon, it begins to speak. Noah closed his mouth, pretending not to hear anything.
Quest Acceptance Dialogue
Weapon:.......
Yuria:Eh?
Noah:Are you done?
Yuria:Ehhh? I thought I did it... But... it doesn't feel any different!
Noah:It looks exactly the same as before...
Yuria:No, I definitely removed the seal. Is there another layer to it? Gahhh...! This is giving me a headache.
Yuria:Too bad. To be sealed so securely... there must be something great about this weapon!
Yuria:But... if there are multiple layers of seals, the inner layer must be even more delicate and complicated...
Yuria:So... Um... This might actually be over my head. It's a shame... but here.
Noah:Thank you.
???:(... There was a miscalculation in the plans. My mistake. Although......)
Noah:(...! What was that? Something strange happened...)
Weapon:.......
Noah:(This weapon, Yuria said nothing changed... But something IS different. What is it? A curse? Or...)
Weapon:!
Weapon:... Huh? What's going on? Am I in a cage?
Noah:!!!
(CLANG!)
Weapon:Ouch!
Weapon:Ou... ch...? It doesn't hurt? I could've sworn I was falling.
Weapon:Wait! Why is my body like this? I can't move!
Noah:(Is that weapon really talking?!)
Yuria:Hey, are you alright? Is something wrong with the weapon?
Noah:Oh, no. It's nothing.
Yuria:If you say so... Um, do you mind accompanying me outside? I do have my staff, but...
Noah:You weren't feeling well... Sure. I was planning on leaving anyway.
Noah:(Does Yuria not hear this voice?)
Weapon:Weapon? Are they talking about me?
Weapon:Wha, what's going on? I don't understand... I know I was... Ah, they must have used me as an experiment.
Weapon:Do they not hear me? Can anyone tell me what's going on?!
Noah:(... Let's pretend I can't hear it for now.)
Quest Completion Dialogue
Yuria:So! That's how I, the greatest mage of Landar after Aisha, became the leader of this camp! Amazing, aren't I?
Weapon:Oh, she's the one that removed the seal. A Landar, huh? No wonder she has purple hair.
Yuria:Hehe... But I'm still learning myself, so Titania usually helps me out with managing the camp and getting the supplies we need.
Weapon:Managing the camp? Did the Landar family finally leave Seven Tower? How much time has passed since I've become like this?
Yuria:I feel bad making her deal with my responsibilities... But we were really busy since the Large El restored. It's probably because of the El...
Yuria:But many ancient ruins that were lost in time, began to resurface after the restoration.
Weapon:What is she talking about? The restoration of the El...? When was the El destroyed?
Yuria:This temple is one of the sites that resurfaced! I'm surprised you don't know any of this. I thought you were a seasoned explorer when I saw you.
Noah:... I just happened to find myself here.
Noah:(The conversation is getting mixed up... I might answer the ghost by mistake at this rate.)
Yuria:That's brave of you. You do know that some ruins are like a maze? This temple could have been really dangerous and you could have gotten yourself hurt! Oh well... I guess I'm being a hypocrite.
Noah:You seemed to be pushing yourself too hard as well. Was there something specific you were looking for?
Yuria:Umm... Kind of... There's something I've been investigating for a very long time, and I was positive this temple was somehow related.
Yuria:I was able to sneak in because Titania let me, but now I have nothing to show. It's not like me to be out of my element like this...
Weapon:Ah... I have so many questions, but no way to ask! Anyone? I don't care who, I just need someone to notice me!
Weapon:I can't do anything too complicated with my body like this, but... Aha!
(CRACK!)
Yuria:Kyaa!!!
Weapon:Oh, oops. I didn't mean to scare her...!
Yuria:What the...? The brick shattered. What a relief! I thought it was another monster. I'm sorry, did I startle you with my scream?
Weapon:Ahh... I didn't manage anything except to scare her. You can't hear me, but I'm sorry.
Noah:(A weapon with conscience... An ego weapon? I heard ego weapons made with bad intention, lure people and control them... sometimes even taking over their bodies.)
Noah:(But... it doesn't seem that evil from what I've seen so far.)
Weapon:What do I do now? There might be a way if I can get to Seven Tower...
Noah:(In fact, it's like me. Not knowing what to do, stuck in a confusing situation...)
Noah:(It's a bit suspicious, but I'll keep observing for now. This is a new variable. I wonder...)
Noah:(Would it be different this time?)
Yuria:So? How about it?
Noah:... Ah, sorry. Did you say something?
Yuria:Our camp is at the entrance of the temple. I'd like to invite you over, as a thanks for saving my life.
Noah:(The camp... But that's where...)
Noah:(No. I have to pass by to leave this place anyway.)
