10TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SEQ_00Shigure wants answers now or he wants them eventually.
21TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SEQ_01Shortly after the Wolf Burglar was detained by the Sekiseigumi, Master Akebono stormed into the gaol and began demanding the return of stolen goods other than the Soboro Sukehiro. Though the merchant was less than forthcoming with details, the Lupin revealed to Shigure that it was a plain, unmarked satchel filled with a white powder─presumably a medicine of some sort. Unsure what it was at the time, the thief gave it to Koju for safekeeping, who presumably still has it, and will not relinquish it unless you recite the proper password: “As above, so below.”
32TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SEQ_02Upon hearing the requisite words, Koju gives over the mysterious powder, the purpose of which remains unknown. Without the aid of an alchemist versed in the Hannish traditions, you are unlikely to ascertain its nature. Fortunately, the Thavnairian Consulate is within walking distance.
43TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SEQ_03As Shigure foresaw, one does not simply go and bang on the gates of a foreign consulate and expect to be received with open arms. The kami are feeling particularly whimsical this day, though, for it is then that Godbert Manderville, devoted father of Inspector Hildibrand, calls out to his beloved son and comrades. During the brief exchange of pleasantries, Lord Godbert's comrade introduces himself as representative of the Sahjattra Concern, which trades in all manner of alchemical goods. The Han subsequently identifies the mysterious powder as an essential ingredient used to create dewprism, a thimbleful of which is enough to befuddle the senses and make one susceptible to commands. The mystery is solved: Akebono has been using this dewprism to manipulate wealthy and influential individuals like Master Kumode to build his mercantile empire. Satisfied, Shigure would bring an end to his dastardly schemes once and for all.
54TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SEQ_04As Shigure was unable to foresee, one does not simply go and bang on the doors of a conniving criminal's estate and expect him to be home, much less willing to give up without a fight. Before you can even begin to discuss your next course of action, the Wolf Burglar appears, revealing that he only surrendered himself earlier to secure Shigure's release and lull Akebono into a false sense of complacency, after which he would then secure your cooperation to bring Akebono to justice. Though he knows not where the merchant is now, he knows where he will be: the Isle of Bekko, where he is to meet a silent partner and plot more villainy, no doubt.
65TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SEQ_05As you spy upon the clandestine meeting, you are shocked to see Akebono in the company of the Sahjattra Concern representative you met before, as well as Lord Godbert, who is clearly under the influence of dewprism. Unable to restrain himself, Inspector Hildibrand reveals himself and implores his father to break free of the drug's thrall. Alas, this only serves to draw his attention to Shigure, Greg, and the Wolf Burglar, who are swiftly dispatched by the might of the Hammer. However, Godbert then turns on his supposed masters, apparently unable to distinguish friend from foe. And so it falls to Hildibrand Helidor Maximilian Manderville to meet the man from whose loins he sprung in mortal combat. You can but look on, mesmerized, as son launches into the air, arms wrapped around his father, as he mournfully sings the song of his house in a vain effort to wake the man he so desperately loves from his madness, only to discover to his delight and dread that performing one of the traditional Mandervillian martial techniques triggers an instinctive response─an irreversible reversal, leaving the inspector helpless before the impending onslaught... After the dust has settled, Godbert apologizes for his excess. But in spite of the minor cataclysm, all is well. Akebono and the Han have been exposed and will face justice, and the Soboro Sukehiro, which Akebono just so happened to be carrying, can be returned to its rightful owner, the Wolf Burglar. Having avenged his father, the Lupin is content to return to his cell in Kugane, but Shigure, to everyone's surprise, insists that he leave with the sword instead. And so the Wolf Burglar departs, Soboro Sukehiro in hand, to pay his respects to the samurai who loved him as family. For a fleeting moment, it seems as though it will be an almost unreasonably happy ending for all...which is perhaps why the Hannish co-conspirator, in a fit of petulance, uses a hidden supply of dewprism to enthrall Greg and command him to spirit him far away. And so the warrior somehow opens a massive portal and drags the Han, Inspector Hildibrand, and Nashu Mhakaracca to wondrous worlds unseen.
76TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SEQ_06Intending to deliver him to the Sekiseigumi in person, Lord Godbert takes Akebono and departs for Kugane, and Shigure suggests you do the same. And really, after the earlier spectacle, what else is there left to say?
87TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SEQ_07Much will change in the wake of Akebono's fall, Shigure explains. The medicines he once hoarded and sold for unreasonable profits will be sold to more merchants due to the intervention of Hannish officials, thereby ensuring lower prices and greater supply. All indebted to Akebono will be absolved of their debts, for they were secured through immoral means. This, in particular, Shigure considers to be the greater victory now, for his experiences with you and the others have helped him to understand that the world is anything but black and white. While he may not agree with the Wolf Burglar's methods, he understands that he is a noble soul─though should he ever forsake his principles, Shigure will not hesitate to bring him to justice. A necessary sentiment, perhaps, though if your experiences with the Lupin are any indication, he will keep to his chosen path. And Inspector Hildibrand? Well, as a former inquisitor once mused, he will no doubt turn up again like a bad gil─and when he does, trouble is sure to follow... ※The next Hildibrand quest will be available from the excitable youth in Radz–at–Han once you have met the following requirements: ※FINAL FANTASY XIV: Endwalker must be registered to your service account. ※You must have completed the main scenario quest “Endwalker.”

4948TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_HILDIBRAND_000_000What ho, Shigure! Over here!
5049TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_001My friends, I cannot thank you enough. Had you not arrived when you had, I would not be standing before you now.
5150TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_002You will forgive me for dispensing with further expressions of gratitude, for I have just returned from the gaol where I spoke with the Wolf Burglar, who shared with me some rather troubling information...
5251TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_HILDIBRAND_000_003Do not keep us in suspense, my good man. What is it?
5352TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_004Not long after we delivered the Wolf Burglar into the custody of the Sekiseigumi, Master Akebono stormed into the gaol and began berating the turnkey, demanding that they return the stolen contents of his safe.
5453TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_005You may recall that we spoke with Master Akebono concerning this theft shortly after we first met.
5554TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_006He was rather secretive regarding said contents at that time, but the Wolf Burglar said it was an unmarked satchel filled with a white powder. Given Master Akebono's reputation as a purveyor of medicines, our chivalrous thief resolved to steal it for the benefit of the poor and needy, as is his wont.
5655TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_007However, since there was nothing to identify what manner of medicine it was, the Wolf Burglar decided to hold on to it for safekeeping. Plainly, however, it was no ordinary medicine, for why else would Master Akebono clamor for it so?
5756TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_HILDIBRAND_000_008My keen inspector's sense is tingling... Where is this satchel now?
5857TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_009In the possession of the men and women of the waterways. They will not admit this, however, unless we give them the proper password: “As above, so below.”
5958TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_HILDIBRAND_000_010Understood! Let us hasten to their den of iniquity!

6362TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_014Hello there, Koju! Enjoying another fine evening in the waterways?
6463TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_015I'm no good with dark places. Too easy to trip and bump your noggin!
6564TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_016Somehow I doubt they'll ever consider me a friend...
6665TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_GILGAMESH_000_017A fine hideaway this is, away from the prying eyes of the local constabulary.
6766TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_KOJU_000_020Knew you lot'd turn up again sooner or later. Didn't expect you'd be bringin' along another unfamiliar face, though...
6867TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_KOJU_000_021No matter. I like the cut of his jib. So─what are you after this time?
6968TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_022A certain satchel containing a certain white powder which once belonged to a certain merchant. The Wolf Burglar told me you have it...
7069TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_KOJU_000_023If he did, then he'd've told you the magic words, too.
7170TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_024Ah, yes, of course. They are─

7978TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_KOJU_000_027Aye, that's it. Nothin' personal, but we've got to be careful...
8079TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_KOJU_000_028Eh? Pull the other one, it's got bells on!
8180TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_029What are you doing, Player? Don't antagonize the man! Or have you really forgotten what the password was!?
8281TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_KOJU_000_030Damned if I know what it is, but my gut tells me it's nothin' no honest man would keep in a locked safe.
8382TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_031That said, a suspicious powder is far from incontrovertible proof of criminal misdeeds. We need to first determine what it is. Any ideas how we might do so?
8483TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_032Seek the assistance of a Hannish alchemist or someone versed in their alchemical traditions? Hmm...perhaps someone at the Thavnairian Consulate?
8584TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_HILDIBRAND_000_033Brilliant minds think alike, for I too reached that conclusion but a moment ago!
8685TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_HILDIBRAND_000_034To the Thavnairian Consulate, my friends!
8786TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_035Here, you can't simply go and bang on the gates of a foreign consulate and expect to... <sigh> Oh, never mind...
8887TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_KOJU_000_036Rich folks don't keep run-of-the-mill medicines hidden in safes guarded by men with truncheons. Mark me─that powder's dangerous.
8988TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_050...It is all rather sudden, I realize, but to reiterate, it is of the utmost importance that we speak with your superiors.
9089TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_MULNITH_000_051To reiterate: have you lot an appointment or not?
9190TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_052Not as such, no...
9291TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_MULNITH_000_053Then my hands, they are tied. There are procedures, samurai, and much paperwork. No exceptions can be made.
9392TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_054Under normal circumstances I would agree, but this is a matter of...of public safety and welfare! Surely an exception can be made!?

9796TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_HILDIBRAND_000_058A complex series of events too exhausting to detail. Of greater importance is what brings us to the consulate. You see, we must needs enlist the assistance of a Hannish alchemist, or one with an encyclopedic knowledge of Hannish reagents─
9897TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_RADZATHANMERCHANT03168_000_059How fortunate, then, that we should chance to meet. I am a representative of the Sahjattra Concern─of Radz–at–Han, should you know not the name. We trade in all manner of alchemical goods.
9998TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_RADZATHANMERCHANT03168_000_060If your quandary requires the expertise of one versed in such wares, pray permit me to assist you. Indeed, to aid the son of Lord Godbert Manderville and his comrades would be an honor most great.
10099TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_061That is most generous of you! Far be it from us to refuse.
101100TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_062Perhaps a change of venue is in order? I say, let us not impose upon these hardworking keepers of the peace any longer.
102101TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_RADZATHANMERCHANT03168_000_063This powder, it is most fascinating. An ingredient of Hannish origin, this is true, but not one intended for medicinal purposes.
103102TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_RADZATHANMERCHANT03168_000_064Dangerous purposes, rather, and for this reason its sale is forbidden. In the hands of a master alchemist it could be used to create dewprism...
104103TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_065I'm sorry─dewprism?
105104TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_RADZATHANMERCHANT03168_000_066A most powerful drug. A mere thimbleful is enough to befuddle the senses, and render even the most strong-willed subject susceptible to any and all commands.
106105TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_RADZATHANMERCHANT03168_100_066You may be assured this is not an exaggeration. Resistance is, most regrettably, quite futile.
107106TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_RADZATHANMERCHANT03168_110_066Undetectable, it is, save for the occasional glimmer in the eyes─a changing of the color, fleeting and impossible.

112111TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_A2_000_002This is Akebono's doing! He must be using dewprism for evil ends!
113112TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_HILDIBRAND_000_067W-Well deduced, my faithful assistant and undying fan! I was just about to voice the same conclusion!
114113TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_RADZATHANMERCHANT03168_100_067Well! If what you say is true, then a most terrible crime has been committed. Evidence must be gathered, and those responsible must be punished...

144143TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_RADZATHANMERCHANT03168_000_099Their resources are considerable, and their influence extends far beyond the borders of Aldenard. But all their wealth pales in comparison to what I present to you now...
145144TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_RADZATHANMERCHANT03168_000_100As we discussed, Lord Godbert, you will serve Master Akebono faithfully and without question, will you not?

150149TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_RADZATHANMERCHANT03168_000_105The inspector arrives, as I knew he would. Doubtless your friends are cowering in hiding? Just as well. In one fell swoop, we shall bring an end to this farce!
151150TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_RADZATHANMERCHANT03168_000_106I call upon Eorzea's most fearsome of goldsmiths! I call upon the Hammer! Go forth and lay waste to these interlopers!

163162TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_GODBERT_100_115Well! This is all very embarrassing, very embarrassing indeed. A thousand pardons to you all for my rather excessive display of martial prowess!

165164TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_GODBERT_100_116Oh, and it should go without saying, but Manderville & Manderville will be severing all ties with the Sahjattra Concern.
166165TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_HILDIBRAND_100_116Rejoice, my friend, for we have reclaimed the Soboro Sukehiro once more! How fortunate that the dastardly Akebono would be so loath to set it aside that he would rather bring it with him to a secret rendezvous.
167166TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_KUGANEWOLFBURGLAR_000_117...A final favor, if you'll indulge me. Lay it at my father's grave.
168167TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_KUGANEWOLFBURGLAR_000_118Right, then. I suppose you'll be wanting to get me back to the gaol. Regardless of the reasons, a crime is a crime, and mine are many. And an upstanding Sekiseigumi like yourself must adhere to a code, no?
169168TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_119...Indeed I must, which is why it will be with much regret that I inform my superiors I have seen neither hide nor hair of the notorious Wolf Burglar.

191190TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_GODBERT_100_133Brief though our time was together, I cannot deny how much he has grown, both as an inspector extraordinaire and a Manderville man besides. I say, a father could not be more proud!
192191TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_140And off goes Lord Godbert, along with Akebono. I should thank him for that...
193192TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_141Nothing left for us but to follow them back to Kugane, I suppose. Are you ready?
194193TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_142Good. Then let us be off.
195194TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_150I cannot even begin to imagine where I would be had I never crossed paths with you and your comrades. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for everything.
196195TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_151The Sekiseigumi have concluded that even before the chief coincounter fell under Akebono's thrall, he willingly and enthusiastically conspired with the merchant to illicit ends, and so he will be held to account.
197196TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_152As for Akebono and his now-defunct enterprise─the Thavnairian Consulate has agreed to intercede on behalf of its countrymen to broker a more equitable arrangement between Hannish suppliers and Hingan merchants. All agree that another monopoly would serve no one's interests.
198197TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_153Regardless of their motivations, if their actions put more medicine in the hands of the sick and needy, then I think it safe to call it a change for the better, don't you?
199198TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_154The best part, if you ask me? In light of Akebono's crimes, all debts owed to him by those forced to pay his exorbitant prices are to be wiped clean.
200199TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_155There was a time when I might not have thought as much. Good and evil, the innocent and the criminal─it all seemed so simple in the abstract, but out here, in the real world, life is anything but.
201200TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_156You and the inspector helped me to understand how naive I was. You taught me to look beyond appearance and hearsay and not be too quick to judge a man for his misdeeds. If I am worthy of the Sekiseigumi, it is because of you and him.
202201TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_157Ah, speaking of which...what exactly did become of Inspector Hildibrand? Do you think we ought to do something? Conduct a search or...
203202TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_158...Oh, so this is a regular occurrence, is it? Fair enough. If you are certain that he will turn up eventually, none the worse for wear, then I shall take your word for it and strike all worry from my mind.
204203TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_159Should that fateful day ever come that you and he are reunited once more, I but ask that you give him my best regards.
205204TEXT_CHRHDB752_03168_SHIGURE_000_160I would say the same for the Wolf Burglar. I wonder what he's doing now...?
