Sacred Stone Memories Chapter 3/Quest 7 - Storyline

Dodgy Clinic
Kanon	I'm so relieved that there was a clinic near the ruins. Thanks for telling us about it, Almira. The injury was bad enough that our emergency first aid equipment wouldn't have been enough.
Almira	It's nothing. I'm glad I could help! At least I was able to play the role of a guide a little!
Seida	That being said, don't you think it's inefficient from a management perspective to build a clinic in an area like this with so few people?
Almira	Who knows? All I know is that it's a standard clinic for the hunters and nomads passing through this area.
Alexis	The fewer the better. The fewer patients I have the more I can concentrate on my research.
Kagura	...
Kanon	Kagura! Can you stand already?
Kagura	Somehow I seem to be able to. Dr. Alexis really knows what he's doing.
Kanon	Thank you, Dr. Alexis! I am really, really grateful!
Alexis	It's nothing. An injury like this is no different than a scratch when using my medicine. Cough! Cough!
Almira	Are you okay?!
Alexis	Excuse me. Recently, my health hasn't been very good. It often happens that a doctor will neglect his or her own body. I'm going to take some medicine, so please excuse me for a moment. It will still take some time for her to completely heal, so how about you hang out here for a bit.
Kanon	He's gone...
Seida	More importantly, what happened inside the ruins?
Kagura	Ri-right! We don't have time for this! We need to hurry back into the ruins!
Kanon	Huh?
Kagura	That man was chasing Kudan. He's extremely dangerous!
Seida	Vice-Captain Monzein should be heading deeper into the ruins. Are you talking about Waginau? The man dressed in black...
Kagura	No...that's not him. I think he's someone even stronger who wields a deadly power. He was leading a large herd of monsters that attacked us. They took us by surprise and it was all we could do to defend ourselves.
Kanon	A large herd of monsters? Wait, could he have been behind the monsters that attacked us on the hill?
Seida	Who exactly are you talking about? Was it someone you know?
Kagura	No, but Kudan seemed to know who he was. He went chasing after him into the ruins with a just small band of knights.
Kanon	No way. That's the same thing that happened last time...
Kagura	Yes. He might discard his own justice and become possessed with the desire for power. The stronger the opponent's power is the more danger there is of this happening.
Kanon	Oh dear! We need to stop Captain Kudan before it's too late!
Seida	Wait, what do you mean? Are you gonna stop Captain Kudan?
Kagura	I'll explain the details to you while we run! We need to rendezvous with Vice-Captain Monzein and head inside the ruins!
Alexis	...
Kanon	Dr. Alexis...?!
Alexis	Don't jump out suddenly like that! You scared me.
Monsters	...
Kanon	Monsters...?! What are they doing here?!
Alexis	Oh? You're right.
Kanon	What is going on?! Wait...are you working with them?
Alexis	What?
Seida	Here they come! Get ready!
Later...
Seida	We've taken care of the monsters. Do you mind explaining to us what's going on, Dr. Alexis?
Alexis	Explain what?
Kanon	Don't play dumb! You tried to make the monsters lauch a surprise attack on us!
Alexis	A surprise attack? What do you mean?
Seida	It's inefficient to feign innoncence any longer. On whose orders are you acting on? Tell us and we'll let you live.
Kagura	Hold on! There's been a misunderstanding! Dr. Alexis isn't our enemy!
Kanon	Huh?
Alexis	Don't be so over-dramatic. I just did what any doctor would do...cough...cough!
Kanon	Dr. Alexis! That wound... You're bleeding so much!
Alexis	Please, lower your voice. My medicine will be able to heal this right away...cough...cough!
Kanon	Bu-but... I'm so sorry. I totally thought you were the enemy.
Seida	I thought you were pretending to go drink your medicine while actually eavesdropping, waiting for us to lower our guard.
Alexis	You completely misunderstood my intentions. Well, I was eavesdropping.
Almira	What?!
Alexis	Hey now, didn't get worked up. I was just curious to know what was going on in those ruins. I had no doubt that something had happened. After all, there were many wounded as a result.
Seida	Wounded?
Alexis	Oh, now that I look at you carefully, aren't you from the same tribe as them? You've got very similar eyes.
Kanon	Hold on...when you say many were wounded, are you referring to the Alize people?
Alexis	Yes. I remember them calling themselves something like that. When I went to find the necessary herbs and mushrooms for my research, I happened upon them by chance. To be truthful, I would have preferred not to get involved, but they all seemed on the brink of death...so my instinct as a doctor kicked in.
Almira	Did you help them?
Seida	And...where are the wounded now?
Alexis	I renovated the underground cemetery into an inpatient facility. They're resting there now. They're getting in the way of my reseach, so I'd like them to leave soon, but... It'll be troublesome if I rush them out and they end up back here.
Seida	Are you...serious?
Kanon	I heard that Waginau had killed everyone from the Alize people. Are you telling me that they're still alive? Seida!
Seida	Yes! Oh...I'm so relieved!
Almira	I'm so happy for you, teacher! Do you want to go and check on them real quick?
Seida	No...we had out immediately. It's enough to know that they're all right. We must prioritize the mission.
Kanon	You're right. Thank you, Dr. Alexis.
Almira	Your movements were really suspicious, but you're actually a super nice person! Thank you so much!
Alexis	No need to thank me. After all, I just did my duty as a doctor. More importantly... It seems like you are all caught up in some kind conflict. Do be careful while you travel. Cough...
Kanon	We will be! You be careful as well, Alexis!
