==Dialogue==
;(Bringing the Archaic Stone for first time)
:Muning: Have you found the Archaic Stones?
: Here they are.
:;(Three Archaic Stone)
:Muning: Three more.
:Muning: I shall gratefully take the Archaic Stones submitted by our two "civic-minded citizens."
:Muning: I didn't expect you to find three of them so quickly. And they are much better in quality than the ones I've previously seen.
:Muning: *sigh*... They remind me of the one that I used to have.
:Paimon: You have an Archaic Stone?
: Then why send us to look for it?
: C'mon, hand in yours first.
:Muning: I mean I USED to have one.
:Muning: My old man once handled a batch of ores at Shenglu Hall. That stone was just a leftover remnant and its quality was poor, so he gave it to me as a toy.
:Muning: We had been arguing all the time back then. I never had a job. And to make it worse, I spent most of my time at Yanshang Teahouse. As such, I ended up in heavy debt — and in distress too...
:Paimon: Huh...
: That feels a bit wrong...
:Muning: Well, who hasn't done a stupid thing or two when they were young? Anyway, when I was helpless...
:Muning: Someone recognized my Archaic Stone and offered a good price. To me, it was no big deal — a stone in exchange for some Mora to get me out of my immediate predicament. A fair trade I'd say.
:Muning: Yet my father brought this up the other day and asked, "Muning, where did you put the stone that I gave you?"
:Muning: All I could tell him was, "It's just a stone. I've long lost it."
:Muning: Though I said so, I couldn't help wondering what if I hadn't sold the stone — then I could show it to Father when he mentioned it...
:Muning: ...Forget it. It's no use wondering about the what-if now.
:Paimon: At least the prodigal son has returned.
:Muning: You are right... It's just that I still have a long way to go before I can clear my debt.
:Muning: I've digressed. Do bring me the stones if you find more.
: Aren't these enough?
: Just how many do you need?
:Muning: Hmm... Bring me three more. Three more would be enough.
:Muning: Archaic Stone is a rare ore. If Huishan Hall wants more, I seriously doubt if I can find any here in The Chasm.

;(Bringing the Archaic Stone for the second time)
:Muning: Have you found the Archaic Stones?
: Here they are.
:;(Three Archaic Stone)
:Muning: With these three included, it's nine in total. They should be enough.
:Muning: You managed to gather what Huishan Hall needs so quickly. No wonder they speak so highly of you!
:Paimon: Eh, it was easy! Easy-peasy, lemon-breezy!
: I'm sure it's "lemon-squeezy," Paimon...
:Paimon: Eh? Uh, well, lemons can be breezy too!
: Oh, look at you, forcing your logic through. Most impressive.
:Muning: Haha... We've all witnessed your heroic deeds of fighting the sea monster. I believe it was no challenge for you to accomplish such a feat.
: No challenge at all indeed.
: It's actually a bit of a challenge...
:Muning: Well, so much for being a Ministry staff member. They still ask you to do things like "look for Archaic Stone in The Chasm"...
:Paimon: Speaking of which, you said you often argued with your father back then and didn't have a job.
:Paimon: Then how did you make it into the Ministry later?
:Muning: You know how I owed a big sum at the time? I could turn to no one, nor was I willing to go home.
:Muning: In the end, the debt collectors came looking for my old man at the Shenglu Hall... I thought he'd come find me to break my legs upon hearing the news.
:Paimon: But your legs look fine.
:Muning: Yes... It's embarrassing to say, but he cleared my debt and came looking for me. By the time he found me, I was almost like a beaten-up dog on the street. He said, "I have all your IOUs, so now you're indebted to me."
:Muning: With that, he forced me to work — to pay my debt.
:Paimon: So your father is your creditor now.
:Muning: You can say that...
:Muning: Back then, with the debt collectors after me, I couldn't even fall asleep at night. So, I swore that I'd mend my ways if I was given a second chance.
:Muning: But I didn't expect the chance to come from my father, who always disapproved of my behaviors...
:Muning: He didn't lash out at me as usual. Instead, we had a talk — an honest and sincere one. How I wish we could've talked this way earlier.
:Muning: But even if he'd been open for a talk, I wouldn't have been willing to listen.
:Paimon: Looks like your father treats you well.
:Muning: Yeah.
:Muning: So I have to get my job done well under whatever circumstances.
:Muning: Whether it's the incident in The Chasm or looking for Archaic Stones for Huishan Hall.
: I believe I'm the one who did the job for you this time...
:Muning: Having people get the job done also counts.
:Muning: But still, it's all thanks to you that we moved swimmingly — I'd say it was way more quickly than I expected.
:Paimon: Huh, Paimon finally senses a touch of gratitude there.
