L69. Missing Treasure Chest

Item : Book: Big Treasure

Covered in blood, I staggered in a daze to the Takietsu Shrine. I then heard a different sound amidst the monsters' roars.

Hmm? A dog bark? It sounded like Snowy. What is Snowy doing here in the middle of the night?

I suddenly remembered Yoshiko crying about Snowy going missing.

Could it be... No... I don't want Snowy to end up like me...

I've forgotten how long ago it was when I drifted to this island. I had sought death after losing my homeland and my family, but Yoshiko and Keiko looked after me like they were my own sisters. I finally found friends here, and this is how I repaid them?

* Once quest is complete, read this book to report back

"Snowy..." This might be the last thing I can do for Yoshiko and Keiko.

I destroyed everything so I don't deserve to the see the light of dawn again.

So, Snowy, let me do one last thing for Yoshiko and Keiko. If I can't save you, then please be my salvation.

In life, we always forget what we should truly treasure and throw it all away. Instead, we search for lost treasure that couldn't possibly exist. Beware, for that is the path to evil!

I suddenly realized how stupid the idea of the Bowl of Plenty was. Why did I believe that something like that could actually been a good thing?

The demon dogs started gathering in front of me. There were too many to count but Snowy was right in the middle, burning with black demonic fire.

(You defeat the ruthless Nocturnal Aerial Demon Dog. It's hard to believe that this was once a very smart dog. No wonder the author felt so guilty.)

I suddenly thought about Whitefire. He was the cause of everything... but where is he now?

"Clang!" There was a metallic clash in the distance. Something stirred within my heart.

I saw Whitefire playing happily with water in a metal bowl. His soft skin sparkled with the reflections from the water.

"Oh? Oh, master, how come you are covered in blood? I bet a strong fighter like you must be totally unscathed! Come and play in the water with me!"

What is this? Looking at Whitefire rolling around inside the "Bowl of Plenty" that has been haunting my dreams, I wondered if I had gotten something wrong.

"Whitefire, how come the bowl is with you?"I rushed over and asked him with a tense voice.

"Oh, I thought Master wanted to play catch with me so I went and caught the bowl!"

I felt angry, happy and sad at the same time. I was still in time to save everything that I treasure and love...
