I see, so you ran away
to Halure after what
happened in Aspio.

Yes. It's just not possible
to live there anymore,
with things as they are.

Now then, if you'd be so kind,
I'd like to borrow your
Collector's Book now.

Now then, if you'd be so kind,
I'd like to borrow your
Collector's Book now.

Yes, go right ahead.

I don't mind... But you'll
have to give it back to
us by tomorrow morning.

Of course, of course...
Wait, what?!

That's how it has to be. We're
running on a very tight schedule.

We can't stay around here
indefinitely while we wait for
you to finish with our book.

Oh... I see. Yes, I don't want to
cause you any inconvenience.

We're sorry...

No, don't worry about it.

Then I'll borrow
it for the night.

Keep it safe!

Of course!

I've reserved the room next
door as well. You may feel
free to sleep there tonight.

Ah, how thoughtful of you.

No, it would be rude not to
offer. Well then, I'd better
get started right away!

Hey, what do you think he's going to
do with that book in a single night?

Oh, Giovanni's known among researchers
for his fast writing skills. He's probably
going to make a copy of the book.

Really...? There's no way
he could do that...

Th-that's impossible!
There's no way...

Here you go.
Thank you very much.

Y-you actually managed to
copy it in a single night...

I-impossible...

Hah! I told you so! But Giovanni,
I'm impressed. It looks like you're
still as persistent as ever.

Well, I'll admit, this time
was particularly tough.

Ah yes, before I forget.
Take this as a token
of my thanks.

O-oh! Really?

The data that you've given
me is far more valuable.
This is the least I can do.

I must show my respect
for elite item maniacs
like yourselves...

Item maniacs?
What do you mean...?

...I guess he just
means that we know
a lot about items.

Well then, we'll
be going...?

...*snore*

He fell asleep standing up...
