So you thought you could run off while on
the job? You know the penalty for that.
A hundred lashes and a night in the water!

Eep! P-please forgive me!

You actually think you
deserve forgiveness
for what you did?!

B-but I can't move
my arms anymore...

Just leave it at that.

Who do you think you are?!
You dare defy the Cumore Brigade?
You've forced my hand!

Heh. Just how I like it.

You saved me...

It was nothing.
What kind of work were
you doing here, anyway?

They're building a military base in
preparation for the Dahngrest invasion.

I thought this town was supposed
to be some noble-only town, not
a military base.

Well, that's what they say, at least...

But that's just the official story.
In reality, this place was made
to be some big facility.

So, what you're saying is...
everyone here was just tricked
and then forced into hard labor?

Meanwhile, as far as the
public knows, you're all
building a town for nobles.

And the man behind
all this is Cumore.

Correct.

This is what happens when
idiots go unchecked.

Cumore...
I will not allow
this to go on.

Why don't you head
home for now?

A-are you sure?

You're welcome to stay here, if
you want. No skin off my nose.

It's okay. We'll do something
about Cumore.

Thank you very much!

All right, let's find Cumore.
