(Josnack is quietly crying).

"What's the matter?"

It's Galateia...my beautiful Galateia. She was perfect, flawless.

If she was alive, she would have been my wife. And now she's gone.

"If she was alive?"

Galateia, you see, was a statue I carved. I chiseled her every feature, every gesture to fit my ideal of beauty.

I fell in love as soon as she was finished. No living woman could compare.

I expected that we would be together forever, immortal Daeva and immortal stone. But now she has disappeared--could you help find her?

Accept. Decline.

It's quite likely that she was spirited away by those horrible Shugos. They're never to be trusted, only tolerated at best.

That [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Shugo_LF2a_9] is the shiftiest. There's something about his cast I don't like.

"I'll see what he has to say."

You discriminate against her because of her marble form. Were she alive, would you then consider her kidnapping a real case?

"Yes."

Akakak, you look angry, Daeva.

"Have you seen any statues?"

Daeva thinks Yogorunerk is thief, nyerk? Yogorunerk would never steal!

But maybe has seen what you look for. A man comes through yesterday, carrying a heavy package wrapped in white cloth.

Asks Yogorunerk about an inn. Yogorunerk answers Jamanok Inn is only one. Go to inn, ask [%dic:STR_DIC_N_LF2A_NPC_Gastak] if he saw the man.

"If you're lying to me..."

No vacancies today. Too many customers.

"You seen a man carrying a package?"

Man came through. Asked about Theobomos Stronghold.

Very nervous. Left yesterday. Maybe [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Pyrrha] saw him.

"Thank you for the help."

Well, if it isn't my favorite Daeva adventurer. What brings you out here this time?

"Have you seen a man with a package?"

Yes! He was carrying a heavy package wrapped in white cloth. I tried to warn him it was dangerous in there, but he just walked in.

Who knows what he was planning on doing in there?

Talk with [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Shugo_LF2a_9].

Talk with [%dic:STR_DIC_N_LF2A_NPC_Gastak].

Talk with [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Pyrrha].

Galateia is missing. Go track her down.

Josnack carved a statue so beautiful that he fell in love with it, but it was stolen.

You tracked it down and found out that a man took it into Theobomos Lab.
