Merikiki: Oh, Daeva! Good thing you're here. Have you noticed that the atmosphere within the merchants seem off, kru?
Merikiki: You haven't? Looks like you haven't seen this flyer yet, kru.
Merikiki: Give it a read. Things are serious...
Talk · 1 line
Merikiki: This is a disaster, kru...
Step 2 · 4 lines
Merikiki: Have you finished reading it? Things are worse than you think. Honestly, even I think Crobakhi is giving us too much work, kru.
Merikiki: But don't we need to talk and discuss first, kru? Things are so heated right now, I'm worried a fight will break out.
Merikiki: Could you mediate for us, kru?
Merikiki: Otherwise, this won't end pretty. Please help, kru!

Oppokiki: I'm saying that this is nonsense, kru!
Devkhi: I'll check, I'll check, kru. I'm sorry.
Step 4 · 12 lines
Oppokiki: How can you give us work like this? Things must be easy for you, since all you do is talk, kru. We're all going to die at this rate. I'm not bluffing!
Oppokiki: Two Shulak have fainted today alone, kru! Don't you understand what this means?
Devkhi: I apologize... I have no excuses, kru.
Beokhi: You say you're sorry, but you won't process the documents for the workers addicted to Fafnite. And you send them off to work before they're healed!
Beokhi: And that's not all! How can we catch one hundred Ore Insectoids in a single day, kru? It's absurd! It's not even funny, kru.
Devkhi: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll check in with Crobakhi, kru. I am so sorry.
Rudakiki: There's no need to do that, kru! Do you know how many Shulak have collapsed from fatigue?
Rudakiki: I don't want to speak to you. Tell Crobakhi to come out himself, kru! Let's see what he has to say about it!
Devkhi: Crobakhi isn't well. I'm sorry, but I'll tell him what you said when he's better, kru.
Oppokiki: Ha! I'm sure he just doesn't want to listen to us. *sigh* If Crobakhi doesn't make a statement, we're all going to quit, kru!
Oppokiki: So for your sake, I hope you decide on the right thing. Let's go!
Devkhi: Ugh... What a disaster, kru.

Devkhi: Oh? Aren't you the Daeva who took care of the dust issue, kru?
Devkhi: I'm sure you saw everything, kru. The workers are both right and wrong.
Devkhi: There's a misunderstanding between the workers, kru...
Devkhi: They were asked to mine 100 Fafnite and catch 100 Ore Insectoids. But that was a mistake on the order form.
Devkhi: But the order has already left my hands, and I can't do anything about it, kru. And Crobakhi was busy trying to solve it, but he collapsed from fatigue...
Devkhi: That's why I can't process the workers' documents. I'm done for, kru! What do I do? *sniffle*...
Devkhi: What? You'll help? Do you mean that, kru? I knew it! You're a good Daeva, kru!
Devkhi: Please help me meet the quota on the remaining orders, kru.
Devkhi: I just need you to gather a hundred Fafnite Gemstones and a hundred Ore Insectoids... Ah! Don't make that face, kru! All right, all right.
Devkhi: Help me fill a portion of the incomplete order. I'm sure it won't be too difficult for you, kru.
Devkhi: That would be so helpful, kru! Thank you so much!

Turning in · 10 lines
Crobakhi: *cough* My secretary, Devkhi, told me everything... ‹your name›, thank you so much for helping us.
Crobakhi: *cough* And the manager is responsible for making a mistake with the order, kru. I'll deal with it. The workers on hazardous jobs have nothing to worry about. *cough*
Rudakiki: You'll deal with it yourself, kru? Crobakhi, you're a fool!
Rudakiki: You should have told us early on, kru. The last thing we need is you getting sick!
Crobakhi: I'm... weak by nature. Still! We'll be alright since you helped us, kru.
Crobakhi: I'll process the documents for the injured Shulak, and adjust their work. Let's talk about the details inside the tent, kru.
Crobakhi: Oh, wait! I have something to tell you, kru.
Crobakhi: ‹your name›, you saved me. We wouldn't have completed the order if it weren't for your help, kru.
Crobakhi: Make sure to tell us if you ever need the Steel Hammer Merchants' help, kru! We'd be glad to help!
Crobakhi: Goodbye now!
When it is done
"Can you mediate for us, kru?" Tensions were at a height among the Steel Hammer Merchants, with widespread complaints that Crobakhi has been overworking everyone lately. The Shulak asked you to step in and mediate. After hearing both sides, it turned out the everything had started from a misunderstanding, and you agreed to help fill the quotas on remaining orders. Once the goods were delivered, the misunderstanding between Crobakhi and the other Shulak was cleared up, and everything wrapped up smoothly.
