Suikoden II Part #11 - White Deer Inn

Part 11: White Deer Inn

Chapter 11 - White Deer Inn

If we can't get into Muse, at least we can spend the night at a nice inn.

"The beds are clean and breakfast is included."

"You picked a strange place to open an inn, didn't you?"

"Well, umm... maybe. But you'd be surprised how many people stay here. Well, shall I show you to your room?"

"Wha... what are you so excited about...?"

"I did it, Hilda! Be happy! I finally found the way to the treasure. It was just like I thought. I knew there was something funny about those ruins. What is it? You should be happier. WE can finally say goodbye to this failure of an inn!"

"W... wait a minute, Alex..."

"I've got to get some help. It's dangerous in there. Well, I bet I can find some city people to help out. I'll find you a jewel so big you won't even be able to carry it. We're gonna be rich, Hilda!"

"Alex... please. Don't do anything dangerous... The treasure is probably just a rumor. Please... I don't want you to."

"What are you talking about, Hilda? I'm doing this for you! Anyway, I'm going to find some people to help."

"That man... Oh, excuse me. "

"That's okay. Was that your husband?"

"Yes, he's obsessed with treasure hunting... I don't know what to do. Well, shall I show you to your room?"

"Zzzzz..."

"Jowy is oversleeping again. When is he gonna wake up? Riou, should we throw water on him again?"

I wouldn't ask about this if I were you.

"We had a wonderful time. Dinner was wonderful, too."

"We hope you'll come again soon."

"We'd love to. Okay, let's go, Riou."

"Alex. What's wrong?"

"Damn those city folk! Nobody believed me... They even called me a liar! Damn!"

"Alex... We don't need treasure, right?"

"What are you saying, Hilda? This time I've really found the way to the treasure. I want to give you a good life... Not in the backwoods like this. WE could open an inn in Muse."

"Excuse me, when you said 'those city folk,' did you mean the citizens of Muse?"

"Yeah? So what?

"So... does that mean you have an entry permit?"

"Yeah. These days you can't get in without an entry permit."

"So umm... do you think you could maybe lend it to us? We need to get into Muse and the guard won't let us in..."

"Hmm... Okay. I'll make you an offer. You guys help me look for treasure and I'll lend you my entry permit. How about that?"

"Forget about it. It sounds dangerous."

"Huh? Don't worry. It's not dangerous. I just need help carrying treasure."

"Forget about it. It sounds dangerous."

"What? C'mon, I don't think there's any other way."

"Sounds interesting, we'll help.

"Great! We're off to search for treasure!"

"........"

"Good. We'll go right away... while we can."

"..."

"We can't take this little girl. Hilda, will you watch this kid? Maybe she could play with Pete."

"Oh, that's no problem... But dear, I really wish you wouldn't do this..."

"Don't worry. It'll be fine."

"Please be careful."

"Pilika, be a good girl. We'll be back soon."

"Okay. Now we're ready. The ruins are towards the back of this inn. Let's go."

"Is this inscription in Sindarin?"

"Yes. These ruins were left by the lost race of the Sindar."

"Wow, Jowy, you're so smart! How did you know that?"

"No, it's no big deal... I just saw it in one of the books in my father's study."

"I've been researching this for years. I finally learned the secret of these ruins a few days ago."

"Listen, there might be monsters in there, so let's go forward cautiously."

"This is where the treasure is?"

"Yeah, that's right. There's Sindarin writing here. 'Traveler, all that you desire, all that you dream for, all that is the most dear to you is here if your heart is true'..."

"'All that is most dear,' huh? I wonder what that could be? I guess for me it's Grandpa Genkaku, but he's dead..."

"Yeah, I guess there aren't so many things that are most dear to me..."

"Everyone."

"Riou too? Yeah, I guess that's number one... maybe."

"Fame" or "Gold"

"...Is that so?"

"Hey, are you crazy? It said 'most dear.' It's gotta be treasure, right?"

"Riou! Nanami! Be careful! Something's there!"

Boss Battle #2 - Double Head

"Whew... what was that? The guardian of the treasure?"

"Let's just say it was part of the ruins left by the Sindar."

"But it's okay. We took care of it."

"Huh? What? What? C'mon, let me see too!"

"Now... now I can finally buy Hilda some nice clothes... We'll buy some good food for Pete too..."

"Hey! C'mon! C'mon! Hurry and open it!"

"Okay, here goes. ...What's this...?"

"What is it?! What? What?! I can't see!!"

"What is this?? Healing herbs? What's 'most dear' about this? I thought I'd finally found it... I can't believe it! Damn!"

"Alex... Forget about the treasure. Let's go back. Maybe... there never was a treasure."

"That's right. Cheer up. Hilda's waiting for you."

"You're right... at least this will make a good story."

"Let's go, Riou."

"I can't believe I failed like this... Hilda... she's going to be mad."

"Don't worry. Don't worry. I don't think that's true. C'mon, let's go back."

"Hilda, Hilda! What's wrong?!"

"Out of my way. ...!!! Get a bed ready! Alex, carry Hilda over there! Riou, go get some water! Jowy, go call a doctor!! Hurry!"

"I... I... I... eh? Okay! I got it!"

"Hurry and carry her to the bed!"

"She's burning up. I've never seen anyone this hot. We've got to do something."

"Like what...?"

"We've got to get her fever down. When's Jowy going to get back...? I hope he hurries..."

"There's no doctors around here... we usually go to Toto, but... Damn... why...?"

"What should we do?"

I went and picked up the item everyone seems to have forgotten about.

"Huh? What? 'Healing herbs'?" I SWEAR TO GOD SUIKODEN I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU KEEP DOING THIS QUOTE BULLSHIT!

GOD DAMNIT!!!

"I don't know... it might... It is the treasure of the Sindar, isn't it?"

"Hilda... It's medicine... eat it... You'll feel better... Please... Hilda..."

"Uuuhh..."

"Hilda! Hilda!"

"W... welcome back... Alex. I'm glad you're safe."

"Hilda... I'm sorry..."

"Wow! It really worked. She seems fine now. Her fever is totally gone."

"Hilda... I'm sorry... You were right. There was no treasure..."

"Well... you can still keep looking. I had a dream that you came home with your hands full of treasure. It's nice to just have you back safe and sound. Please... Please don't do anything dangerous again."

"Hilda..."

"Oh... Please don't cry. A grown man shouldn't cry."
