The Secret Merchant: Before Battle

What to do? What to do... Not really sure I should be trusting him...

Byleth enters the scene

But if I can make a decent profit...
link
Anna
volume_up

Hi, Professor! Overheard me mumbling about profits? See, I got a lead on a pretty big job, but I've got some concerns.
link
Anna
volume_up

Professor! You need some money? Of course you do! I've got the perfect job for you.
link
Anna
volume_up

Although it's not without its issues.
link
A job?
link
Anna
volume_up

Yup. Apparently, there's some priceless treasure that's been unearthed. If you can believe it, it predates the Adrestian Empire!
link
Anna
volume_up

I've been asked to secure troops for the job, but I've got to cover the cost for them.
link
Anna
volume_up

The upside is, whatever we find, we get halfsies on! But there's a downside too.
link
The potential to find...nothing?
link
Anna
volume_up

Bingo. If we find nothing, I'll be eating those up-front costs. But just imagine the gold if we do find something. It's a risk I'm willing to take.
link
Anna
volume_up

This job is coming from a merchant named Pallardó. Ever heard of him?
link
Anna
volume_up

He frequents the monastery, so he must be somewhat trustworthy... Right?
link
Anna
volume_up

You know what? Yeah. I'm gonna do it! You in?
link
Anna
volume_up

What do you mean? Money will be raining down from the heavens! Isn't that enticing enough? I need you!
link
Anna
volume_up

Whoa, hold your horses there—lemme get through my pitch! I really need your help with excavation.
link
Anna
volume_up

Jeez, it's not a challenge. I just need your help with excavation.
link
Anna
volume_up

Your job's gonna be to find someone who can help out, and then I'll need you on board at the excavation site.
link
Anna
volume_up

Naturally, the more treasure we dig up, the more money you get. Sound good?
link
Anna
volume_up

Your services are appreciated, as always! Let's head out!
link
Anna
volume_up

Haha, come on! We'll be rolling in gold!

Jeritza

Wait.
link
Anna
volume_up

Uh... You? Starting a conversation? I'm confused.
link
Jeritza
volume_up

I'll go.
link
Jeritza
volume_up

I smell blood... Anna, I sense a death about you.
link
Jeritza
volume_up

Not particularly. But I smell blood... Anna, I sense death about you.
link
Anna
volume_up

Whoa, whoa, whoa! What's with the gloomy death talk? You're scaring me!
link
Anna
volume_up

I... Uh. Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt for you to join in, then. Shall we?
link
Anna, Byleth enter the scene

Jeritza enters the scene
link
Anna
volume_up

We really hit the jackpot! Just look at all those shinies! Ah yes, we'll be filthy rich.

Pallardó
volume_up

As you say, Miss Anna. Thanks to you, we've achieved our goals.
link
Anna
volume_up

Uh, hey, Pallardó? What's with the cavalry?
link
Pallardó
volume_up

Ah, they're here to transport the treasures. It's quite a load, after all.
link
Anna
volume_up

You trying to pull something? We agreed on a fifty-fifty split!
link
Pallardó
volume_up

Yes, you have it right. Stop fretting about it.
link
Pallardó
volume_up

You'll be receiving your cut just as soon as I determine the exact value.
link
Anna
volume_up

Nuh-uh. No way, no how. I can't agree to that. As a merchant yourself, you know I can't.
link
Anna
volume_up

No way am I watching my share of the treasure gallop off into the sunset.
link
Anna
volume_up

We're splitting this up right here and now. I'm not agreeing to it any other way.
link
Pallardó
volume_up

Whether or not you agree, I'll be on my way now. Come on then, men! Let's go.

And now it's a hunt rather than a battle. How very boring.
link
Anna
volume_up

I can hang around for a bit. Let me know if you change your mind, OK?
