Shugo has received a new assignment to deliver goods, ak.
It was a great idea to come to Reshanta, akakak!
What Shugo would otherwise get in Elysea and Asmodae... erm, in Asmodae in a year, Shugo earns in a month here, ak.
The news has probably already reached Pandaemonium because the Quairerk Traders are trying to challenge the Black Cloud Merchants' trade, ak.
Black Cloud Merchants opened up this place and now the Quairerk Traders want a piece of Shugo's profit, ak!
Shugos cannot just stand by and do nothing, ak!
Jakunerk has spoken to Jakunerk's superiors. The superiors want to establish a trade contract with the responsible parties in each fortress, ak.
(Waves a scroll in front of you) This is the contract.
It's really easy. The Daevas in the fortresses must promise to the Black Cloud Merchants that they will only trade with the Black Cloud Merchants. In return, the Black Cloud Merchants will offer their goods at lower prices, ak.
The price would be significantly lower than it is now, so Daevas wouldn't suffer from this, ak.
The problem is that Shugo doesn't know how Shugo is meant to get a signature...
Can Daeva guess what it's about? Exactly, Shugo would like Daeva to collect the signatures, ak.
Shugo has to go to all the fortresses in Reshanta, but the way is too dangerous for Shugo, ak.
Daeva just has to collect the signatures of the Staff Officers in each fortress, ak. It may also be the case that not all fortresses want to cooperate, ak.
If there's anybody that's against it, Shugo will need proof that Daeva at least showed them the contract, ak.
So whoever agrees to the contract will sign, ak. Whoever doesn't has to sign for Daeva that they at least read the contract, ak.
Could Daeva reconsider, ak?
Jakunerk would go himself if Jakunerk could, ak.
But there are so many fortresses in Reshanta and it's just too dangerous for Jakunerk, ak.
What do you want with me?
You seem to have hurried here at great speed. Did you receive a secret order from Pandaemonium perhaps?
If you want something from me, you'd better say it quick.
(Reads the contract carefully.)
I've read through everything,
The document is very excessive, but that's probably because we're supposed to recognise the Black Cloud Merchants as official traders.
Now, we won't survive in the Abyss without their goods...
Good. Then we'll enter a trade agreement with the Black Cloud Merchants.
But I'd like to read the contract again before I sign. Just in case I missed something.
(Signs the contract and holds it out to you.) Here you go. Tell Jakunerk he should come and visit me in the fortress some time.
What brings you here, [%username]?
You look like you have something important to tell me.
Does it have something to do with what you're holding in your hand?
So they want to establish a monopoly.
The Black Cloud Merchants...
It's a strange organisation and I don't want to get myself invested with them... but I can't do anything about it because they have the vending rights for this place.
Can I really trust that they'll lower the prices?
You have to take the responsibility if anything goes wrong.
Hoho, just kidding. Here, I've signed it.
I've had to deal with those Elyos all day. I'm really exhausted.
Everything is chaotic and now the Dredgions have appeared too.
But why did you come to see me?
I've scanned the contract briefly... To tell the truth, I didn't read it all that closely.
Anyway, it's clear what the Shugos want.
Now, the conditions can't be so bad if you're the one bringing it to me. Do I just sign here?
(Quickly signs the contract.)
Please! If that's everything, I'd like to rest now.
Did Daeva really receive all the signatures? Jakunerk thought that if all went well, maybe half would sign...
Jakunerk is almost in tears when Jakunerk thinks of how much effort Daeva has given, ak.
This contract will be a valuable treasure for the Black Cloud Merchants, ak.
Now that Jakunerk has the signatures, Jakunerk's work can begin.
Can Jakunerk assign Daeva the first shipment, ak?
Daeva just has to bring the Supply Boxes to the fortresses that signed.
It'll go easier this time because Daeva knows the way, ak.
Shugo is asking Daeva to do this, ak.
Are you here to help me?
I could really use a helping hand, you've come at just the right time.
Does that mean you're visiting each of the fortresses and taking them a Supply Box?
That's all totally incredible.
You're doing it for that Shugo?
I don't care whether I work with the Black Cloud Merchants or the Quairerk Merchants. I only need the goods that I ordered.
What brings you to me?
Have you uncovered dark machinations?
That would be really bad... Go on, tell me.
The Black Cloud Merchants? I've never heard of them before...
I've been receiving goods from the Quairerk Merchants up to now.
When I look at the quality of their goods, everything seems to be in order.
I was already angry anyway because the Quairerk Merchants never stick to their delivery deadlines. I look forward to working with the Black Cloud Merchants in the future.
If everything stays as it is then I've got no other requests.
Especially because I now have time to talk to you, [%username].
What you got there?
Those Shugos probably think they're so very clever. They give us something small so that they can achieve something big.
It seems the real winners in this battle aren't the Elyos or the Asmodians, but the Shugos.
They don't spill a drop of blood and yet still they reach their goal.
Now, the Supply Box will help is for the moment, so I'll accept on those grounds.
Ah, Daeva survived, ak!
No, no, of course Shugo was totally sure that Daeva would definitely return, ak.
Did Daeva deliver the Supply Boxes, ak?
Has Daeva done everything, ak?
It's unbelievable, ak. Brilliant, simply brilliant, ak.
Here, for Daeva. For a Daeva who completed such a task, a gift this big is only fitting, ak.

Go to the responsible party in each fortress and get their signatures so that the Black Cloud Merchants can triumph over the Quairerk Traders.
Jakunerk told you that the Quairerk Merchants were challenging the Black Cloud Merchants' trade in the Abyss. To prevent a monopoly by the Quairerk Merchants, a contract would be drawn up with the responsible parties in each of the fortresses.
Jakunerk entrusted you with a document which stated that the fortresses would only trade with the Black Cloud Merchants, but would receive goods at cheaper prices in return. You received a mission to obtain the signatures of all the Staff Officers.
You travelled to the fortresses and collected the signatures. When you brought it to Jakunerk, he asked you to delivery the first Supply Boxes.
After you delivered the boxes and returned, Jakunerk thanked you and gave you a large reward.
