# Why did you pin this on me? **Quest Group**: 116085 **Steps**: 20 ## Summary Accused? Who? And by whom? Me? The one who's merely trying to take care of all these soldiers on this small farm? That's nonsense. You think I'd do such a thing!? ## Walkthrough ### Step 1 - **Objective**: Why did you pin this on me? - **Summary**: Accused? Who? And by whom? Me? The one who's merely trying to take care of all these soldiers on this small farm? That's nonsense. You think I'd do such a thing!? ### Step 2 - **Objective**: Who do you think the criminal is? - **Summary**: The one who's the most suspected in this town asks me, the guy who's the most trusted... Do you want to rid yourself of suspicion that badly? Stop talking nonsense, and pay for your crime. ### Step 3 - **Objective**: You still think I'm the culprit? - **Summary**: Of course! If not you, then who'd harm him? You're lucky that the soldiers here are not authorized to conduct arrests. ### Step 4 - **Objective**: Nobody saw you at the time of the incident! - **Summary**: Wh-what are you talking about? You ... you think I have that m-much free time? Do you h-have any idea how many people I have to take care of here? It ... it was just a coincidence I was absent when you weren't in town! ### Step 5 - **Objective**: You have pretty hands for a guy. - **Summary**: What? Are you making jokes in a time like this? ### Step 6 - **Objective**: What's that scar on your left thumb? - **Summary**: (Monta Ahto clenched his fists hard and his arms flinched, as if he was trying to hide the cut on his thumb.) (The thumb may have been injured when the right-handed Monta Ahto clumsily used his left hand to attack with a weapon.) I ... I got cut while preparing a meal. Wh-what does it have to do with you? ### Step 7 - **Objective**: Did you clip your nails? - **Summary**: I always clip my nails. It's a basic necessity for a cook. Make sure your nails are clean when you cook, too. Even in prison. Hahahaha. ### Step 8 - **Objective**: Are you left-handed, too? - **Summary**: Left-handed? Why? Can't you see the hand I'm holding my cane with? Come to think of it, the Shroud Knights... They all hold their swords with their left hands. ### Step 9 - **Objective**: Have you ever fought in a war? - **Summary**: Yes. I was quite a mercenary myself. But I had to retire after a major injury during the war. I'm content with living on a quiet farm for now. At least, I was before you came here. ### Step 10 - **Objective**: Do you hate the soldiers? - **Summary**: Why would you even think that? Do you want to pin this on me like that? ### Step 11 - **Objective**: Aren't the Shroud soldiers nice? - **Summary**: Good-natured? You don't know a thing about war. That's just because they have nothing at the moment. How cruel soldiers can be in war... Only those who have experienced war would know. Have you seen women and children being violated during war? The biggest victims of any war are the weak civilians like us. Anyway, it looks like you suspect me. Show me some evidence, then. Otherwise, your accusations are baseless. ### Step 12 - **Objective**: Is it just your family living in this farm? - **Summary**: For now, yes. As the war carried on, the original residents fled. The only people maintaining this farm right now are my two daughters and I. ### Step 13 - **Objective**: Whereabouts at the time of the incident - **Summary**: How many times do I have to say this? I'm a busy man! I'm not usually here! (To be fair, he is a busy man. If he claims it was a coincidence that he was absent at the time...) ### Step 14 - **Objective**: Scar on the left thumb - **Summary**: What's the problem with a cook having a cut on his hand? Isn't it weird not to have any scars? (It seems clear the cut came from a sword, trying to use it with his left hand, but proof is wanting.) ### Step 15 - **Objective**: No signs of resistance on the corpse - **Summary**: Everybody here had a history with him, not only me. You've got this all wrong! (The victim had a rough character and is said to have made a lot of enemies... I don't think the victim would have been particularly friendly with him just because he owns the farm.) ### Step 16 - **Objective**: Letter found on the corpse - **Summary**: (You took out the letter found on Ermenezildo's corpse. It's written very clearly without smudging, by a right-handed person.) (Members of the farm owner's family are the only right-handed people in this town. Analysis of the handwriting will reveal the truth.) Oh... H-how did you...? I was looking for it everywhere...!! ### Step 17 - **Dialogue**: If you need a job, just tell me. But if I take you on, I need to be sure you won't work for any other farms. ### Step 18 - **Objective**: Diversity of Experience - **Summary**: Do you believe in Aal? I pray to Aal everyday. I'm reading the Scripture of Aal too, little-by-little. It emphasizes the importance of diversity when it comes to experience. Experience becomes knowledge, and knowledge becomes enlightenment. ### Step 19 - **Objective**: Discover Ahto Farm - **Summary**: Discover Ahto Farm ### Step 20 - **Objective**: Ahto Farm - **Summary**: You have learned about Ahto Farm.
