Riki's Crazy Crystal Plan

Reyn look! Reyn look! Big ether crystal!

Whoa! That IS big!

Riki want crystal. Take home to village!

What you gonna do with it?

Riki sell it in village and pay off big debt to villagers.

Oh yeah, forgot about your debt. You’ll probably make a fortune.

Riki will be rich, rich, RICH!

Except... you can’t sell it like that. It’s not worth anything raw.

Why not?

You’ve gotta refine it!

The thing about crystals is, you’ve gotta put them in an ether furnace. Turn them into gems. That’s how you make yourself some money.

But village not have ether furryness. Only regular Nopon furryness.

Oh yeah, that’s right. No furnace.

If village get ether furryness, good things happen to village?

Good things’ll happen all right! The whole place’ll be rich. You can make a new Pollen Works and all the villagers’ll be happy.

A new pollen factory?! Riki want to eat pollen cakes! Pollen cakes for littlepon and Oka!

Now that I think... Ain’t ether furnaces really expensive? Better not tell him, just in case.

You really are clueless.

You’ve gotta put it in an ether furnace!

Riki’s furryness not enough?

Not furryness, furnace! It’s where you craft gems.

Riki want ether furryness for village!

They ain’t cheap.

How much money?

Umm... let me think here... If you take that crystal and make enough gems, you could buy one.

...

Don’t get yourself down, Riki! If you get the other villagers to chip in, you’ll buy one in no time. I might even help you out!

How d’ya plan on doing that?

Reyn big and strong! Reyn use thick head to move it!

Oi! Enough of this 'thick head' business!

Hurry up, Reyn! Riki want it now!

I told you, no! It’s impossible.

Boooooring! Riki take crystal! Have good plan!

Go on then... What’s the plan?

Riki glad Reyn ask! Riki sell ether crystal and pay back money owe to villagers!

You must’ve built up a fair bit of debt to need this thing.

Riki not proud of self... Riki check amount yesterday. Same as 20,000 fish eggs.

You’ve lost me. How much?

Lots! So Riki take crystal! Sell whole crystal and become rich, rich, RICH!

... Good luck, man.

I bet it's a stupid plan.

Riki show mean Reyn! Riki sell crystal for lots of money. Then Riki pay off debt!

Knew it. Money’s all you ever think about. Well you can count me out!

Please, Reyn! Please please! Riki needs crystal! Now!

Try asking Dunban instead. He’ll pull this thing free for ya. He’s good at that stuff.

Really? Dundun help? He not look strong like big, dumb Reyn.

Just ask him already! You’re givin' me a headache!

OK! Riki ask Dundun. Thank you, Reyn!

I really, REALLY hope Dunban doesn’t kill me for this.
