Kumrica: Muqaka himself has the Fafnite... Of course, things are never easy.
Nemon: We've fought worse than a Mau chieftain before. Any delays only increase the risk of the Balaur getting their hands on that Fafnite, and then we're in real trouble.
Kumrica: Confidence is good, but at a certain point it's sheer arrogance. We know Muqaka better than you.
Kumrica: Not only is he a skilled fighter, but a tactical genius. Infiltrating while being transformed into one of his guards while he's away is the only realistic chance you have.
Nemon: *sigh* Fine. Will a transformation spell from the Daybreak Society Shaman be enough?
Kumrica: It won't be enough to fool his guards. You should take some guard armor and an entry permit with you just in case.
Kumrica: You should be able to get them from the guards in front.
Nemon: Damn it. I know it's good to be prepared, but we don't have much time. You're always nitpicking over something.
Kumrica: This isn't only your problem. We have to keep fighting against Muqaka after you leave, so we must remain cautious.
Nemon: ...All right. ‹your name›, you get the items...I've got others things to do.

Kumrica: Daeva! Daeva! Have you seen your companion, Nemon?
Kumrica: You haven't? Oh no... She really must have gone in alone!
Kunpata: She said she was ready, and ran off towards Muqaka's quarters!
Kunpata: We tried to stop her, but it was no use! Her recklessness is going to put us all in danger!
When it is done
"Infiltrating while being transformed into one of his guards while he's away is the only realistic chance you have." Muqaka is said to be both powerful and cunning. You decided to infiltrate while he was away by transforming into one of his bodyguards. You secured a bodyguard's equipment and an entry permit to his quarters. You're now fully prepared to transform into one of Muqaka's guards.
