Scene 60

Hannah

Oh, you're going together today, I see! You've both been a great help to us, and I hope we can continue working with each other!

Hannah

Now, about today's task... You'll be cleaning up one of our transportation routes.

Lisbeth

What does that mean, exactly?

Hannah

When we move goods around or travel between guild branches, we don't always have the luxury of taking the safer, more established roads.

Hannah

As such, we'd like you to check some of the smaller roads and forest paths for monster lairs. Should you find any, please get rid of them for us.

Lisbeth

So it is a monster-slaying quest after all! Well, I guess it's better than another fetch quest...

Hannah

These are the ten locations we'd like you to check out.

Lisbeth

T-T-Ten?!

Lisbeth

And we have to defeat monsters at all of them?

Hannah

Indeed... I realize the guildmaster's request might be a tall order, but your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hannah

I might not be able to help you in combat, but I'm a fairly decent smith. I can help you repair and upgrade your weapons, free of charge!

Lisbeth

Really?

Hannah

Just keep it a secret from the guildmaster, okay? He'd be upset if he knew I was doing this for free.

Lisbeth

That'd be really helpful, but ten locations is still a lot... Then again, complaining doesn't get the job done...

Lisbeth

Ah, fine, I'll do it. I've got help, after all.

Lisbeth

You will come with me, right? Surely you wouldn't run out on me now?
