Naoe:Shut up and give them to us. We'll see what we can do.
Naoe and Yasuke took possession of the riddle and the item.
Kinu:They'll figure it out. The door will open.
Kane:No thanks to you.
Before leaving, Naoe and Yasuke spoke to Kinu and Kane once more.
Kinu:If you wear the ornament, something happens in certain places! I don't know where, or why, but... it does!
Kane:When we were in the swamp east of here, that ornament thing really started acting up.
Naoe and Yasuke read the riddle, which was written as a hiaku.
Riddle of the Vault in Wakasa
Near Kaiji's courtyard Marshlands are full of treasure Vaulting their secrets
Following the clues, Naoe and Yasuke headed eastwards towards the swamp. As they do so, the ornament began glowing.
Naoe:Hmm. The ornament is... glowing? It must be guiding me somewhere. And I think I'm close.
As she got closer, the ornament glowing at a faster interval.
Naoe:The ornament feels alive!
As ornament continuing glowing and began producing a blinking sound, Naoe found a glowing glyph on a nearby rock.
Naoe:So something about the ornament and this spot lights up a glyph. It is a mystery. I guess we'll go tell those two dunces the good news.
Yasuke:Hmm. The ornament is... glowing? It must be guiding me somewhere. And I think I'm close.
As he got closer, the ornament glowing at a faster interval.
Naoe:I cannot be far now.
As ornament continuing glowing and began producing a blinking sound, Naoe found a glowing glyph on a nearby rock.
Naoe:So there is something about this ornament that illuminates these gylphs. How or why is a mystery. But Naoe's trainees will be pleased to hear it is working.
Naoe and Yasuke returned to where Kinu and Kane were, with the glowing gylph they saw in the swamp now showing up at the door as well.
Kinu:Hey. They lit up. Something's happening!
Kane:In your brain? No. To the door? Yes!
They spoke to the duo.
Kane:Did you do that? Make it glow?
Yasuke:We did.
Naoe:We're geniuses. Can we go now?
Kane:While you were gone, Kinu and I got to talking.
Kinu:We did?
Kane:We're done being treasure hunters. We want to work for you two.
Kinu:Oh. Yeah! We do!
Naoe:No way.
Naoe turned to a shrugging Yasuke and shook her head.
Kane:We've been on the run for months! Our sandals are thinner than dried kelp! You must have a camp. We can help you!
Kane:We'll find a suitable place and report to duty. Here. A scroll to show we're serious.
Kane hands over a scroll to Yasuke before he and Kinu left.
Naoe:When did you become such a sap?
Yasuke:There is no crime against stupidity.
Naoe:There should be.
Yasuke: (laughs) Come on. A mystery unfolds! You must be a little curious about what is behind the door.
Naoe:A little. Let's go "train" them.
