...Hans!

It looks like you've made your way safely inside the cave.

Just getting in there was difficult enough, wasn't it?

But it only gets tougher from this point on!

Well, let me explain the details of this particular request.

I'm Lin Merylham from Logistics Support...

...Grand Gaia Survey Office Bureau of Investigation, at your service.

The destruction of the power that controlled Bariura has influenced changes in the environment there.

I'm sure you have already heard this, but...

...they say that an amazing Summoner has defeated all of the Four Fallen Gods.

However, the consequence of this chain of events has led to many magical seals being lifted...

...awakening very dangerous demons and gods in the process.

The request we have for you now is one of these cases--a dormant beast in Bariura has been awakened.

And even though the Four Fallen Gods have been defeated, many perils still exist in this world.

Grand Gaia is indeed a dangerous place.

So we are very grateful to you for battling your way through it, Hans!

By the way, the intel we have for this mission happens to be more concrete than usual.

In the last years of the Bariura Empire, there lived a dark sorcerer who was inconceivably inhumane.

Apparently, he would experiment on people who had lost their way.

And one of his laboratories happens to be where you are currently located, Hans.

Last time you took part in a similar mission which was also in a research facility, right?

There may be many more of these places still around.

Oh! Hans! Monsters are approaching!

I shall end communications for the time being.

Once everything has calmed down on your end, I will give you the rest of our intel!

Maybe we can take our time talking next time.
