### Day 1

#### Talk to Gilbert

 **Mission Description**

Gilbert from the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone seems troubled. Go talk to him. Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone

(Talk to Gilbert)
**Gilbert:** Anything I can help with? Just say the word — I may not hold a high office but I've still got my connections around the restricted zone.
 Start a conversation with the anxious old guard...
**Gilbert:** Ore pack inspection, checked...Weekly armament routine maintenance and cleaning, checked...
**Gilbert:** Another day... \*sigh\*
 What's with the sighing?
**Gilbert:** Alas, it's just another day...
 Can you clean my shoes?
**Gilbert:** ... As the logistics officer of the Guard, I can't believe I am actually laughed at by a young (man/lady) like you, alas...
**Gilbert:** Wait a minute, stop — who are you? Are you an intruder?
 Show Gilbert the restricted zone pass.
**Gilbert:** Oh, so you have a pass... What a pity, I thought I could finally write something special in the letter...
 Letter?
**Gilbert:** No, nothing, just pretend you didn't hear it...
 What were you going to do if I didn't have a pass?
**Gilbert:** No, I... I didn't intend on doing anything... and I'm not lying to you now.
**Gilbert:** W—Wait! Hmm... You look young, but your face seems to suggest you are quite experienced. Can you do this old soldier a favor?
**Gilbert:** To tell you the truth, I am only a few months from the end of my service, then I'll be leaving this restricted zone soon. I want to write a letter to tell my wife and daughter the good news, but I really don't know what to write about...
**Gilbert:** I have served in the army for over 20 years, and I have been working in logistics this whole time. I have never been on the front line once. In the first few years, I still thought this job was easy and comfortable, but the longer I stay, the more useless I feel...
**Gilbert:** Well, if you don't mind, can you share some exciting adventures with me? I don't want my daughter to think that her dad is a useless old bum, but my imagination is really limited...
 Alright, let me think about it...
**Gilbert:** Really? Thank, thank you, young (man/lady)!
**Gilbert:** Where's my paper and pen... ah, here, found it — okay, we can start when you're ready...

#### Tell Gilbert about your adventures

 **Step Description**

Gilbert is interested in your adventure and wants to write your stories in his letter.
This sounds a little weird to you, but sometimes showing off your experience might be joyful. Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone

(Talk to Gilbert again)
 Let's talk about my adventure.
**Gilbert:** Have you made up your mind? Let's get started, you speak, I will write it down...
**Gilbert:** Let me think... let's start with a traveling experience? Tell me about any special places you've been to.
 Outlying Snow Plains...
**Gilbert:** ... Snow Plains? That place is forbidden, and it's a serious crime for ordinary people to leave the city without authorization...
 Rivet Town in the Underworld...
**Gilbert:** ... The Underworld? No way, no way, the passage between the surface and the underground has been blocked for more than ten years. No one will believe it if I say so...
 The Blue...
**Gilbert:** ...Where's that? I have never heard of that place. Are you just making it up?
**Gilbert:** \*sigh\* If I write it as you said, it would be hard even for my family to believe me, right? I'd rather be a little more convincing.
**Gilbert:** Then... Let's talk about something else, do you know how to fight? Although I have served for more than 20 years, I have never been on the front line once, and I am not very good at using weapons.
**Gilbert:** If you have any unforgettable combat experiences, tell me about them...
 I've fought against Gepard twice...
**Gilbert:** Ge—Gepard!? The young Captain...?
**Gilbert:** This... Who would believe this? Forget it, I'll just write something a little more realistic.
 I fought against a robot named Svarog...
**Gilbert:** Robot? Hmm... it doesn't sound special, I'm often in charge of repairing malfunctioning robots in the Restricted Zone...
**Gilbert:** \*sigh\* I will just embellish the story a bit.
 Bronya and I fought to a draw...
**Gilbert:** Bronya? ! Is it the Bronya I am thinking of?
**Gilbert:** This... Who would believe this? Forget it, I'll just write something a little more realistic.
**Gilbert:** I get it now — have you been playing with me? Do you think this is funny?
**Gilbert:** \*sigh\* Young people nowadays really have no respect for the elders at all... But then again, without the ideas you mentioned, I'm afraid I won't be able to write this letter until next year.
**Gilbert:** ...Anyway, thanks for stopping by. Here, for your trouble.
**Gilbert:** Lila... Please don't be ashamed of Daddy! \*sigh\*

### Day 2

#### Talk to Gilbert

 **Mission Description**

Gilbert from the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone seems troubled. Go talk to him. Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone

(Approach Gilbert)
**Dunn:** ...I certainly get your point, Gilbert. But this medal of merit is not something I can give to anyone I want.
**Dunn:** How long have you been in the army, twenty years? Thirty years? Don't you understand this...
**Gilbert:** Dunn, I took special care of you when you were a new recruit. Now that you've become a captain, how come you are putting on airs with me?
**Gilbert:** Can't you do me this tiny little favor? Do you want to see me getting laughed at by my wife and daughter...?
**Dunn:** I've told you many times. It's a matter of principle...
**Dunn:** ...Ah, right on time, here comes (Trailblazer)! What do you make of his request?
 Actually, I don't want to meddle...
**Dunn:** ...Come on now, you never shy away from giving people a little help.
 What happened?
**Dunn:** Do you know Gilbert? Yes, him, the oldest logistics officer in the restricted zone.
**Dunn:** He's about to retire. The way I see it, he should spend the last few months doing what he's been doing and return to the city to reunite with his wife and daughter when he finally retires...
**Dunn:** But he wants to ask an unreasonable favor from me at a time like this! The geezer wants to borrow a medal of merit, just to look good in front of his family. You tell me, is that reasonable?
 Can't you just lend him the medal?
**Dunn:** Of course not! What do you think the rules of the Silvermane Guards are for?
 True... It doesn't sound very appropriate.
**Dunn:** See, old man! Even (Trailblazer) said so.
**Dunn:** Besides, don't you have the Veteran Guard Medal from your twentieth anniversary? Isn't that enough honor for you to show off...
**Gilbert:** Youngster, why don't you understand... You can get one of these just by staying long enough. It is not considered an honor. And it won't bring me any respect...
**Dunn:** \*sigh\* You just don't get it, do you?
 Can I help with anything?
**Dunn:** Yeah, let me think about it...
 Why is no one giving me any medal?
**Dunn:** ...Remember that time you knocked me out? Consider yourself lucky that you're not sent to court-martial yet, let alone getting a medal...
**Dunn:** Wait, you reminded me...
**Dunn:** Yes, I have a good idea!
**Dunn:** I heard that another automaton "Grizzly" has lost control recently, and is still roaming and wreaking havoc in the restricted zone. Now that there is a shortage of personnel, my subordinates can only maintain control in the surrounding area temporarily and they dare not act rashly.
**Dunn:** (Trailblazer), can you take the old man to deal with this problem? When this is done, I can give the credit to Gilbert.
**Gilbert:** Wh—what a great opportunity! Young (man/lady), let's go and take a look!

#### Defeat the out-of-control Automaton Grizzly

 **Step Description**

Gilbert needs to achieve something on the battlefield to show his strength. Defeat the robot out of control in the restricted zone with him... Wait, did I say "with him"? Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone

(Approach Automaton Grizzly)
**Gilbert:** Wh—whoa! That's one big robot!
 You've never seen a model like this before...?
**Gilbert:** Uh... I spend all of my time on the logistics side of things. I don't really get any chances to see an advanced mechanical war machine like this.
 It's nothing I can't handle.
**Gilbert:** Y—You're that confident?
**Gilbert:** So... You're going to fight that thing? I...
**Gilbert:** Ahem... I'm ready! You guys go first. I—I'll support you from behind!
(Begins fight against 1 Automaton Grizzly)

(After defeating the out-of-control Automaton Grizzly)
**Gilbert:** Haha! V—Victory! This fella might look scary, but he's actually not so tough!
 You didn't do anything...
**Gilbert:** How could you say that? I—It's Combat Basics 101! Support off the battlefield is of equal importance...
 Well done, Gilbert!
**Gilbert:** What's with the sarcasm? Listen here, i—it's Combat Basics 101! Support off the battlefield is of equal importance...
**Gilbert:** Come on, let's hurry back and talk to Dunn. We shouldn't keep him waiting.

#### Go back and talk to Dunn

 **Step Description**

Thanks to, ahem, "your" hard effort, the Malfunctioning Robots have been defeated. Go back to see Dunn and take all the credit. Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone

(Talk to Dunn)
**Dunn:** The pressure on the front lines is increasing, and now the strategy of the Silvermane Guards must be adjusted...
**Dunn:** Outsider, let's talk. Are you free right now?
 Gilbert and I are back...
**Dunn:** (Trailblazer), Gilbert, you're back! I received a report from the Guards that your mission was a success.
**Gilbert:** Then... that means my medal of service...
**Dunn:** Of course, old man — I've already finished the paperwork for your medal's application. We should hear back from them next week or so.
**Gilbert:** R—Really? That's great...
**Gilbert:** I knew I didn't waste my time taking care of the new generation of soldiers! W—Well then, I'll return to the logistics unit and wait for the good news from you.
**Gilbert:** ...And thank you as well, youngster. If not for you, I would've been doomed to be a laughingstock...
(Gilbert leaves)

**Dunn:** \*sigh\* That old man...
 He's too hard on himself...
**Dunn:** That's what I was thinking. After so many years of being apart, his family would not be concerned with these military accolades.
 Is his family that judgmental?
**Dunn:** I haven't met his wife or child, but... I think they won't care about whether or not he has a medal.
**Dunn:** But it's not our place to burst his bubble, is it? This is between him and his family.
**Dunn:** Promise me something, (Trailblazer) — if Gilbert comes to you with another request in the future, do your best to help, okay? He's a good man. I don't want to see him suffer during his last few months of service.
**Dunn:** Oh right, take these. I know you did all the work in taking down that malfunctioning robot. I can't let you leave empty-handed, now can I?

### Day 3

#### Talk to Gilbert

 **Mission Description**

Gilbert from the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone seems troubled. Go talk to him. Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone

(Talk to Gilbert)
 I heard you're looking for me?
**Gilbert:** (Trailblazer)! I've been waiting for you, youngster. I was afraid that you might never come to the restricted zone...
 Nice seeing you again, old man.
 I have other things to do...
**Gilbert:** One minute, just one minute of your time! I'm begging you...
**Gilbert:** Uh, do you remember that letter I wanted to send to my wife and daughter? I finished writing it yesterday.
**Gilbert:** If you don't mind, could you help take it to my daughter for me? It's an arduous process mailing things from inside the restricted zone. You need one approval after another... The letter would probably not even be sent before my service was up.
**Gilbert:** Please, youngster! You're the only person I know who is able to freely move in and out of the restricted zone. If you don't help, then there is no hope for me to get this letter delivered!
**Gilbert:** My daughter's name is Lila. She and her mother live in the Administrative District. Thanks for doing this, youngster...

#### Give Lila the message from Gilbert

 **Step Description**

Gilbert finally finishes his letter to his family. Do him another favor and deliver this letter to his daughter Lila living in the Administrative District. Administrative District

(Talk to Lila)
 Are you Gilbert's daughter?
**Lila:** Eh? You guys know my father?
 This is a letter from your father.
**Lila:** You better not be trying to scam me. He's working in a top secret military area. How did you manage to...
**Lila:** Hold on... This is his handwriting, alright. I'm sure of it.
**Lila:** \*sigh\* My father... he hasn't changed. Always so hard on himself.
**Lila:** Uh, I'm sorry to make such a sudden request, but... if you have time, could you buy me a bunch of flowers?
**Lila:** I want to write him a letter and send it together with a bouquet.
 \*sigh\* I can't really stop halfway, can I?
 Piece of cake.
**Lila:** You will? Thank you so much!
**Lila:** There's a florist nearby. Please get me a bunch of rainbows. Naturally, I'll pay you for the flowers and running this errand for me.
**Lila:** Thanks again, I'll see you later!

#### Buy a bunch of "Rainbows" for Lila

 **Step Description**

After reading her father's letter, Lila immediately understands his thoughts.
She plans to write a letter back and asks you to buy a bunch of "Rainbows" at the Florist. Administrative District

(Talk to Vaska)
 I want to buy a bunch of Rainbows please.
**Vaska:** Rainbows, right? No problem, I'll pick some out for you now.
**Vaska:** May I ask who these flowers are for?
 Uh... a parent?
**Vaska:** Oh? Rainbows for a parent is... quite a unique choice.
**Vaska:** You know, in the language of flowers, rainbows mean "ordinary beauty." They're a popular choice among old friends and couples.
**Vaska:** Are you trying to tell your parent to enjoy themselves? To not be troubled by the pettiness of work and life...?
**Vaska:** That would be a great message actually.
**Vaska:** Here you are, a bunch of rainbows. Hope to see you again soon!

#### Bring the "Rainbows" to Lila

 **Step Description**

You have obtained the flowers. Go back to Lila to see if she has finished the letter. Administrative District

 Here we go, I have bought the Rainbow.
**Lila:** You sure are quick! Thank you, that should be perfect. I just finished writing my reply letter as well. Please give it to my father the next time you go see him.
**Lila:** He's always been quite stubborn and too hard on himself. I can tell that the things he wrote about in the letter aren't really what he has done.
**Lila:** Ever since I can remember, he always liked to act like a hero in front of me and exaggerate things... He probably thinks that if he doesn't achieve something big in the Silvermane Guards, he will be a shame to the family.
**Lila:** But I've never cared about that. He's always worked hard to give me a better life, better than most... That's already enough for me to be truly grateful for him.
**Lila:** Argh, sorry for going on about our family matters. Anyway... I just hope that my father can return home safely.

#### Deliver Lila's reply letter to Gilbert

 **Step Description**

Lila has finished the letter. Bring it back to Gilbert in the restricted zone, who is waiting eagerly. Family is the most beautiful thing in the world, right? Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone

 I found Lila.
**Gilbert:** (Trailblazer), you're back so soon! Young people these days really are quick on their feet.
**Gilbert:** Did you go see Lila? And did you give her my letter? What did she say?
 She wrote a letter for you in reply.
 Relax, here, take a look...
**Gilbert:** Sh—She wrote back to me? Quick, let me read it...
**Gilbert:** ...
**Gilbert:** Lila...
**Gilbert:** I've been so stubborn... avoiding my own family, making up such ridiculous lies...
**Gilbert:** I get it now... Even if I don't have any great achievements over these past twenty-plus years, my family will always be by my side. What I was worrying over... Tsk, it's funny to think about now, haha.
**Gilbert:** Thank you for all your help, stranger! Please take these... Now I need to go get my things together and get ready to return home.

### Day 4

#### Talk to Gilbert

 **Mission Description**

Gilbert, the old logistics officer in the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone, seems to want help.
Go see if there's anything he needs.

(Talk to Gilbert)
 Do you need help, old man?
**Gilbert:** (Trailblazer), young one, you arrive just in time! Come here, I have big news to share with you...
**Gilbert:** Though I'm not sure it can be considered as good news... Youngsters from the Logistics Department were trying to convince me to stay after they heard I was retiring... They said that they couldn't handle things correctly without me leading the way.
 Maybe they were just being polite...
**Gilbert:** You really think so? But they've even asked their superior about this...
 Young people need to learn and grow by themselves.
**Gilbert:** ...I thought the same at the beginning. But I wasn't expecting that they even asked their superior about this.
**Gilbert:** Then Dunn came to me and asked if I wanted to stay for another couple of months to train my successors.
**Gilbert:** ...Ah, you know me, too shy to turn down such a sincere request!
 So you've said yes?
 Then how about Lila?
**Gilbert:** I was a bit emotional at that point and agreed to his request.
**Gilbert:** But when I gave it a second thought later, I felt bad for my wife and child... They have to wait for another handful of months.
**Gilbert:** (Trailblazer), young one, are you willing to help me once again? I wrote a letter to my wife and child to explain my situation. If you could deliver my letter to Lila...
 Piece of cake.
**Gilbert:** Many thanks! Hope those youngsters in the Logistics Department can be as reliable as you are.
 Are you sure you won't regret it?
**Gilbert:** Nothing to be regretful for... It would only be worth it to shine in my field for a while longer...
**Gilbert:** While you are at it, can you go pick some flowers at the Florist for Lila? Last time, she gave me a bouquet. I want to give her something in return...
**Gilbert:** As for the best type of flowers... I'll let you decide. I'm not so sure about her favorites now...
**Gilbert:** Lila... Forgive dad. It'll just be several months. It won't be long...
(Obtain  Gilbert's Message ×1)

#### Go to the florist in the Overworld to buy flowers for Lila

 **Step Description**

Old Gilbert wants you to tell his daughter Lila that his retirement will be delayed.
Before that, he wants you to buy a bouquet for his daughter at the florist's — It's up to you to decide what kind of flower to buy.

(Talk to Vaska)
 I'd like to buy some flowers as a present.
**Vaska:** Then you came to the right place!
**Vaska:** If you could tell me about the person you're sending flowers to, I can give you some suggestions:
 The flowers are a gift to a daughter from her long-absent father.
**Vaska:** I see...
**Vaska:** Then I recommend the Ball Peonies — they only bloom once a year, and each bloom lasts for less than a month.
**Vaska:** In the language of flowers, Ball Peony means "patience." It takes a bit of patience, but the family will eventually be reunited.
 Then I'll take a bouquet of Ball Peonies.
**Vaska:** Sure! One moment, please.
**Vaska:** Here are your Ball Peonies. Thanks for the purchase, and have a lovely day!
(Obtain  A Bouquet of Ball Peonies ×1)
 The flowers will be given to a beautiful girl.
**Vaska:** I see...
**Vaska:** Then I recommend the Rainbows — these small flowers are a riot of color, perfect for gift giving between young people.
**Vaska:** In the language of flowers, Rainbow means "simple beauty." In times like this, what else is more precious than "simple beauty?"
 Then I'll take a bouquet of Rainbows.
**Vaska:** Sure! One moment, please.
**Vaska:** Here are your Rainbows. Thanks for the purchase, and have a lovely day!
(Obtain  A Bunch of Rainbows ×1)
 The flowers will be given to a kind animal lover.
**Vaska:** Speaking of animals, I haven’t seen any in Belobog in a long time... The person you are sending flowers to must be a very kind person.
**Vaska:** Then I recommend the First Snows — they stand for “pure and kind-hearted” in the language of flowers. I think they’ll suit the recipient of your present very well.
 I'll take a bouquet of First Snows.
**Vaska:** Sure! One moment, please.
**Vaska:** Here are your First Snows. Thanks for the purchase, and have a lovely day!
(Obtain  A Bouquet of First Snow ×1)
 I'll take a bouquet of the most precious flowers here.
**Vaska:** The most precious... I assume you’re sending flowers to a person of very high status?
**Vaska:** Then my recommendation would be the Marquises. They are the most exalted, beautiful, and delicate flowers in Belobog.
**Vaska:** No one in high society would turn down a bouquet of Marquises. It’s just that… Marquises are quite expensive. Are you sure you want to buy some?
 I'll take a bouquet of Marquises.
**Vaska:** Sure! One moment, please.
**Vaska:** Here are your Marquises. Thanks for the purchase, and have a lovely day!
(Obtain  A Stalk of Marquise ×1)

#### Give Gilbert's letter and the bouquet to Lila

 **Step Description**

Old Gilbert wants you to tell his daughter Lila that his retirement will be delayed.
You bought the flowers — Now, pass old Gilbert's letter and the bouquet to Lila.

(Talk to Lila)
 Your dad wrote you a letter. Here.
**Lila:** Another letter? He seems pretty homesick lately. Thanks for bringing it to me. Please, let me give you something for your trouble.

(if you submit the Gilbert’s Message and A Bouquet of Ball Peonies)

**Lila:** These are... Ball Peonies? Did my dad ask you to buy these for me?
**Lila:** Aww... I didn't expect him to be this sensitive. Mom would be very happy too when she sees these pretty flowers.
(if you submit the Gilbert’s Message and A Bouquet of Rainbows)

**Lila:** These are... Rainbows? Did my dad ask you to buy these for me?
**Lila:** This must be a return present. I didn't expect Dad to be this thoughtful... Mom would be very happy too when she sees these pretty flowers.
(if you submit the Gilbert’s Message and A Bouquet of First Snow)

**Lila:** These are... First Snows? Did my dad ask you to buy these for me?
**Lila:** Aww... I didn't expect him to be this sensitive. Mom would be very happy too when she sees these pretty flowers.
(if you submit the Gilbert’s Message and A Stalk of Marquises)

**Lila:** Whoa! These are... Marquises? Did my dad ask you to buy these for me?
**Lila:** They’re gorgeous… Now I understand why they say Marquises are the most precious flowers in Belobog. It’s a pity that Mom’s allergic to it…

**Lila:** Uh, I almost forgot about the letter. Lemme see...
**Lila finished the letter from Gilbert...**
**Lila:** ...
**Lila:** So Dad won't be home for a few months...
 He's just too nice to say no.
**Lila:** I know... He's always like that.
 Are you upset?
**Lila:** Of course not...
**Lila:** Actually, reading between the lines, I can see that Dad's still passionate about his job. He just didn't want to admit it.
**Lila:** He really doesn't need to apologize to Mom and me. We'd support his choice if the job makes him feel needed and fulfilled.
**Lila:** Though, at his age, it'd be very hard to change who he is. So, we'll just support him without unnecessary persuasion.
**Lila:** Be understanding and considerate to each other even when separated. This is the meaning of family.
**Lila:** Thank you for bringing my dad's letter, (Trailblazer). Please accept these for your trouble.
