You... are the one that was asking around for information on Dr. De Lang. How can I help you? ...That... that book? That's...?! ...I see... so you have uncovered the mystery behind Dr. De Lang's research... and the secret behind the origin of [map 261000000] that may have had to be revealed anyway...

Sigh... Do not give me that look of anger. I admit it. I admit that Dr. De Lang did nothing wrong. I knew that his experiments were a tad risky to say the least, but... the fact that Dr. De Lang took all the blame for the war... It's only right that isn't guilty in any sense...

But, if you think about it, the alchemists at [map 261000000] shouldn't be guilty of anything. They were just guilty of being too diligent with their studies. If they find out the truth about the history of town... if they find out that all the spells and methods have been derived from Black Magic? and if they get looked down upon for that very fact... then how do you think they would feel?

Alchemists are dark, closed, and insulated by heart, but they are also very proud of their work. They won't be able to handle the truth that they are derived from Black Magician. So many of the brilliant alchemists will cease work. [map 261000000] will also be torn apart, never to recover... Do you honestly feel that Dr. De Lang's experiment is enough to bring the whole town in flames?

Impossible. I can't just let that happen. That's the reason why I had withheld the information on the alchemists... and if I was put in that position again right after the explosion, I'd do the same thing. Please understand this as a Zenumist alchemist.

I am glad you understand... now I want you to hand me that of yours. We will end this saga once and for all by destroying that note beyond recognition.

If we let this slide without a hitch, then I will personally recognize you as a Senior Alchemist of Zenumist. This is for all the work you did on this issue, so please accept it. Now hand me and .

Very well...I hope that you change your mind...

Okay, now please hand over the ... With this, we will forget all about what happened. What happened to Dr. De Lang, and what happened to [map 261000000]... Everything...

That cape is awarded to you, not only for what you have done, but also for what you will be doing down the road. I don't need to explain to you... what should be done, right? Never, ever say a word about De Lang's Notes to others.

Where did you leave ? Did you lose it?
