*Lugina: You're late, !!
 	
*Lugina: To think that I'd get stuck with you again even though I'm being sent out on orders by my superiors...
*Lugina: Tsch, those incompetent fools from the Hall had to come bugging me with such a stupid request...
 	
*Lugina: Listen up. I'm gonna make this really clear...
*Lugina: ...so you can get it all through that thick skull of yours.
 	
*Lugina: Our mission this time...
*Lugina: ...is to hunt the demon Nebulous, which is in the Abandoned Metropolis.
*Lugina: Apparently, this thing has the ability to manifest itself into different forms according to its opponent's mental state.
 	
*Lugina: Though no matter what kind of abilities it has, it's still no match for someone as strong as me.
*Lugina: But for a weakling like you, I'm guessing you'll walk there with your tail knocking your knees together the whole time.
 	
*Lugina: There are two ways to get to the Abandoned Metropolis from here.
*Lugina: We can take a path that cuts straight through the area towards our target, or the side paths found on the coastline and mountainside.
*Lugina: Obviously, I'll go straight through the middle.
*Lugina: You should take the path by the coast, or by the mountains.
 	
*Lugina: For an idiot like yourself, those routes should serve as good practice for the real fight later on.
*Lugina: You should be happy that I'm such a considerate person.
 	
*Lugina: Now, if you got all that, hurry up and get moving!
 	
**Buzz* *Buzzzzzz* *Bzzzzzz*
*???: !
 	
*Lin: It seems the connection has stabilized.
*Lin: I'm Lin Merylham from Logistics Support...
*Lin: ...Grand Gaia Survey Office Bureau of Investigation, at your service.
 	
*Lin: Oh, you already arrived at the appointed location?
*Lin: I got to you too late, didn't I? I'm sorry...
 	
*Lin: But to tell you the truth, I only heard about this mission just a few seconds ago.
*Lin: There are so many emergency requests happening lately...
 	
*Lin: And to top it all off, you got paired up with Lugina again?
*Lin: That must be quite a challenge...
*Lin: Every Summoner that has ever been paired up with Lugina always says...
 	
*Lin: "I'm never working with that nutcase again!"
 	
*Lin: ...after their mission is over. They have nothing but complaints about him.
*Lin: So I have to wonder why you seem to be the only one to put up with him so much...
 	
*Lin: ...Ahh!!
*Lin: C-Could it be that Lugina's manipulating you somehow?!
 	
*Lin: If that's the case, please do tell me!
 	
*Lin: If it's for you, I'll make sure to give that Lugina a piece of my mind!
 	
*Lin: ...though he's beyond scary.
 	
*Lin: What? You say he's not doing anything like that?
 	
*Lin: I thought as much.
*Lin: I mean, there's no way he would ever have such power over you, right?
 	
*Lin: Anyway, that's enough talk for now.
*Lin: Lugina will get really angry if you take too long to meet him...
*Lin: ...so you should head towards the Abandoned Metropolis as soon as possible!

*Karl: *Phew* So this is where the demon Nebulous is.
 	
*Karl: But what an abrupt request from gramps all of the sudden.
*Karl: Even though I had just gotten back from a mission...
*Karl: ...he didn't even let me take a break before sending me off on another one.
 	
*Karl: Also, he said that other Summoners from the Hall were in the area too.
 	
*Karl: I wonder who they are?

*Lugina: Urgh, what is that light?
 	
*Lugina: ...it was nothing, I guess.
*Lugina: Tsch, that took me off guard.
