ACT 3 Caretaker of the People

Are you ready?

Yes!

Ronnie laughed and nodded his head. Ark and Ronnie were headed towards Ciel.After crossing the shopping centre, Agathe was pacing in front of the Seirun workshops door.

Well, have you finally come?

I was a bit late.

Whats this? Is that an explanation?

Agathe shouted with a displeased expression.

I told you it was urgent! If we dont have the ingredients for one day then do you know how much damage the Seirun workshop will receive? A common person like you couldnt possible imagine it! Damn, I knew I shouldnt have trusted a foreigner. Anyway, thats how it is. Did you find the items?

I found them.

Then it is lucky. Give it to me quickly.

What if I dont want to?

Ark scratched the back of his neck and murmured.Then Agathes face twisted up and he made a ridiculous expression.

What? You dont want to? What did you say?

You heard me. I dont want to.

What are you doing? Did you break your promise to come back within the time limit because of some unreasonable dislike? Ah, I see. Damn, as expected of a foreigner. I was too busy and just employed anyone but I made a big mistake.

Is it like that?

Ark snorted and murmured, causing Agathe to wrinkle his nose like an orangutan and said.

Now give me the box with the Seirun trademark stamped on it. Even if you are a foreigner in Bristania, you cant just run around wildly! If you dont take it out immediately then Ill call the guards to grab you!

Guards.. Thats not a bad idea. Please do it.

What, what the?

Agathe flinched at Arks retort and closed his mouth. Then Ark grinned and muttered.

Whats wrong? I thought you were calling the guards.

Yes. What are you thinking?

Why? Do what you want and call them! Why arent you calling them? Is it a problem if the guards are called? It would be difficult if the guard checks the contents of the box..

T-thats impossible!

Ah, did I get a bullseye?

Ark smirked and murmured. Then Agathe made a puzzled expression and his countenance changed.

You, did you open the box?

Then?

That is an obvious violation of the contract!

Yes, I admit it. Alas, I have committed a serious sin. I broke a promise so I should be punished Therefore call the guards. Lets call them in order to distinguish between right and wrong.

Dont make me laugh. You think that you discovered a weakness just because you saw the contents of the box. The contents are 100% safe and have no faults. We produce potions for the entire southern area of Bristania and even the royal family recognizes our goods..

Shut up, you bastard.

Ark used his specialty of changing completely by 180 degrees.Arks face seemed to turn demonic as curses emerged from his mouth.After experiencing a level 366 Intimidation, Agathes face turned as pale as a sheet. Ark stepped closer and growled.

Okay, I admit it. I examined the contents. The potions that Seirun makes is 100% safe. While it is safe for people who use it, it isnt safe for the people who make the potion!

Agathe was silenced Arks words. Yes, Ark had figured out the secret of Seirun workshop.

-Karadaras Claw

The Karadaras claw is a deadly poisonous herb found at the Karadaras ravine which resembles a claw. The herb is so poisonous that a troll will die one day after inhaling it too much.

Advanced Additional Information: When the Karadaras Claw is refined through the appropriate process, it can be very useful when combined with various herbs. But if you inhale the aroma or touch the deadly poison, it may cause fatal symptoms inside the body.
