361 # 344 Information and Relief Request from Jin.txt (2/2)

Please...I'll stick with it.

I'm going to leave Mr. Karo and I'm going to find someone else. If he has information, he's the only one who has it.

And I found him... the Demon Jin of the lamp is standing where I first met him. It's as if he's waiting for me.

''What is it... that guy?''

Setia dons it. Lily and the others are also alarmed. I knew you'd detect that dangerous feeling, right?

'It's okay... let me talk to you both.

I approach Jin alone.

”...you're here.

I knew you were waiting for me.

'Yeah... because they took that Aladdin guy. We'll have to do this.

I thought they took Aladdin, too.

You don't blame me?

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to waste my time doing that.

Waste of time...sure.

'I know where Aladdin is, but right now I don't. He must be in some nasty wards.

You don't know where his hideout is?

'I don't know, I hate to say it. What I do know is that Aladdin is alive and my lamp is in the hands of the enemy.

The magic lamp? Why would he go after the lamp when the djinn, the lamp's demon god, is here? But now you know why Aladdin was kidnapped.

You don't think that's what the lamp was for when it went after Aladdin?

'I even went out of my way to take it away. It's an abomination.

You don't think he's kidnapping kids because he's looking for Aladdin? No, that's still weird. That's not a good reason to use a slave collar.

Now what to do...

”...what happens to Aladdin, the kidnapped children and the subhumans...is up to you.

So... it's up to me? That's not pressure... can I handle this? But I'm not looking for... oh.

Oh!

That's right! I have an item that can help you find someone. The item that led me to the hidden Fenist... the Weathertop.

”Hm. Have you seen... the enemy's strength?

”Oh...I'm gonna ask you no, but will you join the fight?

'I can't do that... the only time I fight is when Aladdin is involved. I'm still a demon.

Impossible....but no matter how much it's for Aladdin's sake, I don't know of any demon god who would give me a hint.

'...What. You're trying to tell me something.

I'm fine.

”Don't make that Aladdinian grin!

I'm pissed... but it makes me feel better... now I can sleep better.

Okay?　Aladdin and the others should be safe by tomorrow. You have until then to decide.

A time limit has been added to the quests. Excellent.

”Oh. I'll decide what you want.

Hmm.

I come back and Lily and the others look at me.

'Tact... you seem different from before.

'...Do you prefer someone like that guy?

No, you don't, do you?　Takuto Onion.

...suspicious.

What are you talking about...these kids. Then Sins smacks me on the head.

'I think it's possible,'

No!

'We're leaving, don't be stupid.

Are you sure?　Tact.

Yeah. Yeah. We have an idea of where the enemy camp is. We'll take the shot tonight.

Lily and the others, all nodded at that. Then they sent an email to the guild members and logged out.

'To anyone who can get into the Sandwall Desert this evening. I need help with a tricky quest.

If you don't bother to put a player limit on the guild's quest requirements, feel free to rely on us all. The difficulty of the quest is probably too much for us to handle on our own.
