Mikleo These are the ruins Rose mentioned? They're much larger than I'd expected.

Sorey This is so exciting! I bet they extend pretty far underground too!

Lailah My, look at that sparkle in Sorey and Mikleo's eyes!

Edna Little boys do love ruins... No matter how old they may appear.

Dezel Nobody loves 'em half as much as those two do.

Rose Okay, the team meeting is over! We came here to do a job, and it's time to get to it!

Sorey Oh, right. Sorry Rose.

？？ Oh, hey! It's Sorey and Rose!

？？？ And it appears all your seraphim are with you as well!

Sorey Oh, hey Sara! Hey Lippy! How's it going, (user)?

Lailah How funny running into you like this! I'm so pleased to see you all looking so well.

Dezel Running into someone way out here? That's more than just "funny."

Mikleo Indeed. I trust that you have business here as well?

Sara Yeah! The guild sent us to clear out the monsters from these ruins.

Edna An extermination job, huh...

Lippy Might I ask what purpose has brought all of you out here?

Sorey We're helping Rose with a job. She came to investigate the ruins.

Rose I can't disclose the details, but this location was referenced in an ancient text passed down through my client's family, and he asked me to investigate.

Sara An ancient text, huh? That's so cool!

Lippy Your client must be from a family with deep roots indeed! I wonder if they're aware of some undiscovered treasure within these ruins?

Rose You're speaking my language, Lippy! I don't know if there's treasure or not, but if we do good work, there might be more well-paying jobs to come!

Lippy It sounds like this is quite the business opportunity for you!

Sorey That's what Rose was saying on the way here... Personal connections—

Rose ...are a merchant's best friend! Speaking of which, (user)... Can we talk?

It looks like there's an awful lot of ground to cover here. What do you say we help you wipe out those monsters, and you help us explore the ruins?

Sorey Thanks a lot, (user)!

Dezel Well, a few more bodies wouldn't hurt, especially when there's a bunch of monsters to deal with.

Mikleo These ruins are so shrouded in mystery that even Lailah and Edna didn't know they existed! So we don't have a lot of information to—

Edna So now Meebo's saying we're useless, basically.

Lailah I am sooooo sorry Mikleo! *sniff* How could I have lived so long and yet learned so little? I am useless!

Mikleo N-No! That's not what I was trying to say! I wasn't implying that at all!

Rose Anyway, Sara, (user)— thanks.

Sara It's our pleasure! But were you able to find out anything about these ruins at all?

Sorey All we know is that these ruins were a mausoleum built at the orders of a royal family of antiquity.

Dezel We don't even know what the design is like on the inside. Just that it's big.

Sara Definitely sounds like we're missing some pieces of the puzzles. Maybe we'll find them inside?

So this is the door? It seems to be sealed up pretty tight...

Lailah It doesn't appear as if pushing it would be very effective.

Rose Not at all... It didn't budge an inch! And I don't see a handle anywhere.

Sorey Maybe there's some sort of mechanism that opens it? We should look around the area a bit.

Sara Good call!

Rose Find anything?

Mikleo I was just about to call for you, Rose. Take a look behind that fallen pillar there.

Lailah Hmm...

Edna Yeah, that statue looks pretty fishy.

Rose Sure looks like it could be hiding some sort of mechanism. I'm gonna take a closer look.

Dezel Hold it, Rose! Careful what you touch!

Rose Hmmmm? Did you guys just hear something click?

Sorey Uh-oh! The ground's rumbling!

Rose Did it cause a tremor or something?! That can't be goo—

Sara Bwah!

Dezel Damn it!

Rose *Cough* *cough* What the...

Sure felt like we fell a long ways there, but it didn't hurt at all...

Dezel Everyone! On your feet!

Rose Dezel? Oh! You used the wind to save us?

Sara Is that what happened? Wow, Dezel, thanks!

Lippy It appears that Lady Sara, Lady Rose, Master Dezel, Lady Edna and myself are the only ones here. We must have gotten separated from the others.

Rose Eh... heh heh... Sorry about that.

Dezel Enough with the chit-chat! Draw your damn weapons!

Edna Looks like we're surrounded. I knew this job would be a disaster.
