Hey, if it isn't Yuri and Flynn!
Wait there, would ya?

I've been waiting for
you two to show up.

How come?

I wanted to give this to you.

Hmmm...that's quite the item. You can't find
anythin' like that in a store. How'd somethin'
like that end up in the lower quarter?

This sword belonged to a famous mercenary who
visited us in the lower quarter a long time ago.

He only came through here by chance,
but he ended up liking it so much
that he stayed for a long time.

Actually, it would be better
to say he lived here. We came
to think of him as one of us.

That's the first time I've heard
anything about someone like that.

It makes sense that you wouldn't know about
him. He left the capital and went on his way
a long time before you two were even born.

Where did the mercenary go after he left?

I don't know...a bunch of knights and guild
members came to ask if he'd left his sword
behind, but we were never able to find it.

What do you mean? How could a
mercenary go off without his sword?

But then, just a while back, when we were
cleaning up the city after things in the
capital got crazy, the sword turned up.

...How could that be?

Maybe it was a gift to the people in the
lower quarter in return for your hospitality.

Then why didn't he just
give it to them himself?

He probably planned on
comin' back an' getting'
it someday.

Then if that's the case,
we shouldn't be taking
it with us, right?

The mercenary always said
that swords should be
used to protect people.

I don't think he'd mind if I left the
sword with our lower quarter boys,
who are working to protect the world.

A weapon chooses its owner,
not the other way around...

It might not just be random chance that the
sword turned up now, after all those years.

I want you two to make
use of it. You'd be doing
us all a favor.

All right. I'll hold
onto it for you.

Thank you.

Don't forget to share it with Flynn!

Yeah, that's right. Should
we take turns using it
like we used to?

I'll let you use it for a
while first, Yuri.

All right.

That sword holds everyone's
hopes and dreams, doesn't it?

Yeah. It's heavier
than it looks.
