  1. BabaUgh... My head hurts. How am I supposed to deal with all this...?
  2. BabaDaeva, you came at the right time. Help me out, nyerk!
  3. My customers are complaining about the quality of the goods these days, nyerk! It's giving me a migraine...
  4. But something's wrong. I always check the goods myself before sending them off. They were fine, nyerk!
  5. It looks like they're getting swapped with inferior products during delivery!
  6. I'd be able to catch the culprit if only I had proof, nyerk... But there are so many complaints these days that I can't go investigate myself...

  1. Can you look for any proof nearby for me, nyerk?
  2. You will? I knew it! You're a kind Daeva, nyerk!
  3. It is full of expensive-looking accessories and Shugo fur.
  4. There are Shugo pawprints. Who could they belong to?
  5. BabaThere you are, nyerk! Did you find anything? Anything at all?
  6. Fur...? It looks familiar, nyerk.
  7. And pawprints too? About that big? It's starting to remind me of someone, nyerk.
  8. Isn't that a ledger, nyerk? Looks like crucial evidence. Let me read it right away.
  9. ...
  10. That Mero! I practically raised that girl! How could she do this to me?
  11. This won't do. This is scandalous. I will torment her into confessing.
  12. Daeva, can you get me some Red Shell Mole fur, nyerk? Tickling Shugo liars with it makes them sneeze.
  13. That fur will perfect my plan, nyerk!
  14. Thank you for agreeing to help, nyerk! I'll call Mero over while you're getting it!
  15. BabaDaeva, you're here! Mero just arrived too. Great timing.
  16. MeroWhy did you summon me here, Baba?
  17. BabaBefore I tell you why, I'll be nice and give you one last chance, nyerk. Mero, are you hiding something from me?
  18. MeroI have no idea what you're talking about. I have always worked honestly and sincerely for the Quai merchants.
  19. BabaDid you, now? How about now, nyerk!?
  20. MeroAchoo! I don't know why I'm sneezing all of a sudden, nyerk! Achoo! Help, nyerk! Achoo!
  21. BabaThis is Red Shell Mole fur! Are you going to keep lying, nyerk? Are you going to keep sneezing?
  22. How about this, nyerk? Are you going to play innocent when I have this ledger?
  23. MeroHow do you have that ledger? Nyerk! Achoo!
  24. I'll tell you, nyerk! Achoo! I swapped the goods while delivering them! Achoo! I was blinded by greed! Please, don't kill me, nyerk! Achoo!
  25. BabaThis is outrageous! I'll talk to the other merchants about how to deal with you, nyerk. Stay put until then!
  26. Daeva, thanks to you, we caught the traitor. Give me a shout whenever you need help from the Quai Merchants and we won't hesitate!
