Open Sesame

Ho, I've been waiting for you here.

What, the seal is disabled?

I got this device from Dr. Kim, and it's named 'Open Sesame'. Brilliant! People in the city sure have good taste in names!

Actually, I received this yesterday morning, and have been waiting for you ever since. I can't open this by myself; I need my committee member with me. Without you, I wouldn't be able to open this in the first place.

Alright, now let's open this!

...Huh? What's going on...something's not right! Huh??

What the... it's not opening!

What's this piece of paper stuck on the box? n...A Manual? Well, let's see what it say...

This is a next-gen box created by Dr. Kim the Great Scientist, complete with the next-gen security device attached. This box cannot be opened until you pay 1,000,000 mesos. The money spent on this will be funded directly to Dr. Kim, the Great Scientist. Checks not accepted.'

What kind of nonsense is this? What kind of box has a fee to open it? So basically, we must pay. What a load of hogwash!

After all that we went through to gather up the items, now this?

What should I do? He's the kind of guy that just matter-of-factly does this, as if it's nothing. It's not something that'll work out through pressure and violence. I do believe, however, that the BIG 3 worth more than 1 million mesos. If I had that money, I would have bought it fairly quickly, but alas, I do not have that kind of money. I also feel bad about the possibility of asking you to pay for this...

The fate of the Big 3, as well as this box, rides on your answer. Will you spend 1,000,000 mesos to open this box? Once you open it, that's it. You are not getting your 1,000,000 mesos back.

Will 1 million mesos do the trick?

Click!

Ah, it's open...

and it's here!

So the seal is completely off? And if I touch this, the herbs will pop up?

I'm going.

Pop!

Oh my... this... never-ending flow of overwhelming source of power... so this is indeed 3rd Herb! I'm confident for sure!

B...brilliant!

I feel something weird, and the glow and the grasses all look gorgeous!

What!

Wait, what???

WHy is the grass dying!

Noonononono!

Oh no, this has turned into nothing more than a dying powder. Yikes...

I, I see... so that's how it is. The archive mentioned never to see the light, and never to be touched, ever again...

That's alright! I understand the message from the archive. It stinks that I lost the herb in the end, but for that split second I held it, I felt the best in years. The 3rd Herb actually has been growing within our hearts all along...

Why are you looking so dumbfounded? Thanks to you, I was able to acquire all the ancient herbs that are around. I'm really sorry I made you use 1,000,000 mesos, and I don't know if there's a word that sufficiently describes my gratitude towards you.

I suggest you leave this place with my Magical Collection in your hand. As for the pay, I'll up it even more to match that of a Vice President.

Wow, that was cool!

As the leader of the Sabitrama Archive Study Committee, I feel veeerrrry happy and fortunate to have someone like you under me.

I know I know!

I also want to find out the truth behond the 'Big 3', the never-ending thirst for the herbs...I used to be like that.

Ah, I'm sorry.

I feel like I've been wacked on my head for no reason.

don't sweat it, though.

Please reconsider, and think carefully. Let me know when you have made up your mind.

Yes, that's right...

I'll gather up 1,000,000 mesos one of these days, and open this box. Watch this, committee member.

Committee member, I'm sorry but you do not have enough mesos. It's a huge amount of money, so if you feel hesitant towards this, I suggest you quit this before it's too late.
