tonakeGuess who's back. Gonna dump my Hearts translationblogging here now, will also backlog them a bit later. Anyway, Henzera/Hanselar adventures.
(We finally arrive to Henzera, and Shing immediately starts running around, excited about the Big City again.)
(She moves on, leaving Shing confused.)
Kohaku: So many... people...
Hisui: There's no helping Kohaku being scared. Let's find an inn and rest first. 
The cutscene ends there. God damn this is big for an update.
(We finally arrive to Henzera, and Shing immediately starts running around, excited about the Big City again.)
Shing: Wow... What's this place? There are so many huge buildings! And too many people and shops!
Hisui: Shut it, country bumpkin! T-This is, y'know... they're holding a festival, probably.
Shing: I see. A festival...
(As they speak, someone wearing a big hat comes up to them)
Hisui: Shut it, country bumpkin! T-This is, y'know... they're holding a festival, probably.
Shing: I see. A festival...
(As they speak, someone wearing a big hat comes up to them)
???: ... That's right, they're holding a festival today, too. A festival of hungry wolves, preying on innocent lambs.
(She moves on, leaving Shing confused.)
Kohaku: So many... people...
Hisui: There's no helping Kohaku being scared. Let's find an inn and rest first.
Shing: Um, can we have a room for three?
(The innkeeper ignores him, and Shing comes closer)
Shing: We would like to stay here!
Innkeeper (turning): Hmph... Are you really customers? For first-time customers, we ask for additional trust payment. People who aren't our usual merchant customers with no known lineage might not pay the bill, you know.
Hisui: You're taking advantage of us! ... But we've got no choice.
Innkeeper: Together with the usual price and trust payment, it comes to 300 Gald. ... Payment in advance, please.
Shing: City inns are so expensive...
Hisui: Wait a second, if you want us to pay in advance, what's the point of the trust payment?!
Innkeeper: ... Tch, if you've got complaints, you can stay outside.
(But SUDDENLY!! The owner's wife appears)
Mistress: Dear, what are you saying to our customers?! And you call yourself a merchant?
Innkeeper: ... Hmph, it's because I'm a merchant I'm doubting them.
Mistress: Sorry. My husband has been strangely suspicious lately... Even though before he's always been almost disgustingly softhearted.
Shing: An innkeeper who suddenly changed... Kohaku, did you feel anything from him?
(Kohaku keeps silent, but then her stomach gurgles)
Kohaku: W-What?!
Mistress: Hahaha! That's proof you're living your life to the full, young lady!
Mistress: As an apology for before, I'll make you dinner for free, so be sure to eat up!
(The innkeeper ignores him, and Shing comes closer)

Mistress: As an apology for before, I'll make you dinner for free, so be sure to eat up!
Innkeeper: The Healing Stones shop is not open yet. ... Trying to steal the Stones is pointless.
(Sneaking behind the stand and talking with the innkeeper)
Innkeeper: W-What's up with you, sneaking in here?! You trying to steal our profits?!
Innkeeper: You really are an untrustworthy bunch...
Innkeeper: W-What's up with you, sneaking in here?! You trying to steal our profits?!
Innkeeper: You really are an untrustworthy bunch...
(Talking to the inn mistress)
Mistress: Take care! I'll make lots of breakfast for you for free, too, so come again!
Mistress: Take care! I'll make lots of breakfast for you for free, too, so come again!
(Checking the bookshelf in the room)
Message: It looks like a picture book.
Message: It looks like a picture book.
Old Lady: Henzera is the city called "the kitchen of the Pendelock continent". ... But lately, this kitchen's been overrun by cockroaches that do shady business, so be careful.
Elixir Old Man: I am the Elixir old man. Looks like you don't have enough elixir ingredients. Collect all the ingredients, and you'll get an Elixir in return. The Elixir ingredients are Rot Liquid, Blau Liquid, Grun Liquid, Gelb Liquid and Violent Liquid, one of each. If you collect five Elixirs, you can get an Omega Elixir, too.
Warehouse worker: We're in the middle of receiving a shipment of materials, so this entering this area is forbidden right now.
(Heading to the main plaza for an event. The group stops to look at the girl in a hat from before)
Shing: Oh, there's a girl painting a picture!
(Everybody comes closer to look, but the girl notices it and turns to them, covering the painting)
???: Don't look! ... You want to plagiarize my picture and participate in the Imperial Arts Academy contest, don't you?
Shing: Plagiarizing? Arts Academy contest? What are you talking about?
???: Hmph! Even if you try to pray dumb, I can see right through you!
Shing: ... Isn't it supposed to be play dumb?
???: Y-You won't trick me! You art thieves are impernitent! Go away!
Shing: W-What? City people are so weird...
(Talking to her again after the event)
???: Hmph, you thieving lambs... Go get eaten by the wolves...
Shing: Oh, there's a girl painting a picture!
(Everybody comes closer to look, but the girl notices it and turns to them, covering the painting)
???: Don't look! ... You want to plagiarize my picture and participate in the Imperial Arts Academy contest, don't you?

(Talking to her again after the event)

(Approaching another stall, another event is triggered)
Merchant: Oh, young man with the nice shield! Where are you from?
Shing: Huh, me? I'm from the village Seable.
Merchant: Seable! What a coincidence! I was born there too, you know.
Shing: Whoah, seriously?! That's so incredible!
Merchant: Man, I’m so nostalgic now! I wouldn’t even have guessed you were from Seable, too! Tell you what, I’ll be happy to give you a 50% discount, so do you want to buy some armour? You’ve got to have armour to go with that shield!
Shing: Wow! Did you hear that, Hisui?! We can buy some armor for half-price!
Hisui: You dumbass! Don’t get tricked so easily.
(Another merchant approaches the scene.)
Weapons merchant: Yes, don’t listen to him. His wares are just cheap junk, not even worth the half-price.
Merchant: You bastard! Trying to badmouth me, huh?!
Weapons merchant: Let’s test your merchandise, then. You wear the armor from your shop, and we’ll see how resilient it is to my blades...
Merchant: S-Shit... I’ll remember this!
Weapons merchant: With more monsters around lately, there have been more crooks like that, selling junk. Allow me to offer my apologies as a fellow merchant.
Shing: I’d never think that Seable villagers could deceive people...
Hisui: Oh, come on. That whole “wow, I was born there too!” thing was obviously part of the trick.
Weapons merchant: Haha! You might be still young, sir, but you really understand the way of the world.
Hisui: Eh. I’ve travelled a lot, unlike that guy. Listen, you look like you know your way around the place. There’s something I wanna ask you.
Weapons merchant: Huh... Then, would you be so kind as to come to my store with me?
Merchant: Oh, young man with the nice shield! Where are you from?
Shing: Huh, me? I'm from the village Seable.
Merchant: Seable! What a coincidence! I was born there too, you know.

Weapons merchant: Huh... Then, would you be so kind as to come to my store with me?
(We’re at the other merchant’s shop now, with the mystery painter girl providing some commentary. HMMM I WONDER WHO THIS COULD BE)
???: Heheh... How many wolves are there? They’re all hunters, swarming their prey. And the foolish lambs walk right into their jaws...
(Kohaku takes notice of her and hides behind Hisui, frightened)
Weapons merchant: Oh, that’s right. I’ve got some light armor that would be perfect for the young lady. Please take a look, if you’d like.
Hisui: What?! It’s all expensive as hell!
Weapons merchant: You trust your weapons and your armour with your life. Things like that are defined by their quality rather than their price, are they not?
Hisui: W-Well, your stuff’s definitely much better than the previous guy’s... Yeah.
Shing: Actually, we don’t need armour. But we’d like to know if there have been cases of Despir around here lately.
Weapons merchant: Hmm... Well, I do know something. But we traders see information as an expensive resource as well...
Hisui: ... Alright, I got it. We’ll buy some armour for Kohaku. In return, give us some info as a bonus.
Weapons merchant: Thank you very much! As expected of an experienced traveller like yourself, you’re very good at making deals!
???: ... Well then, let me make a deal too. I’ll give you some information for free. This guy is actually a partner of that previous crook. They’re working together.
(The party is confused about this revelation, and while they’re busy with that, another person approaches)
???: Heheh... How many wolves are there? They’re all hunters, swarming their prey. And the foolish lambs walk right into their jaws...

(The party is confused about this revelation, and while they’re busy with that, another person approaches)
Weapons merchant: Y-You’re... Miss Écaille from the Chen Trading Company!
Écaille: The first one tries to cheat you, the other insults him and wins your trust, but they’re both working in tandem, selling the same overpriced junk... The oldest trick in the books.
Écaille: But you were both too obvious and too greedy. The Guild’s been getting many complaints. I bring a message from Chen Daren: choose your “customers” better.
Weapons merchant: E-eugh, I get it... No merchant can go against Chen Daren and expect to stay alive, after all...

Weapons merchant: E-eugh, I get it... No merchant can go against Chen Daren and expect to stay alive, after all...
(The merchant presumably leaves, and the party is left with the newcomer from Chen.)
Shing: ... This guy’s armour is fake, too...
Hisui (blushing and punching Shing): S-Shut the hell up! At least I didn’t believe the first guy!
Écaille: These men used to be honest merchants, too... But the business in this city has been going worse and worse lately, so they started getting desperate.
Shing: Miss, do you know much about this city?
Écaille: The one who knows a lot about it is my employer, Chen Daren. He knows everything that happens in this city. For example... He even knows what some certain Soma users are looking for.
Shing and Hisui: ?
Écaille: Please visit the Chen Trading Company. Soma users like yourselves should be able to make a good deal with us.
(She leaves).
Shing: Was... that another oldest trick in the book? She insults the second guy and tries to win our trust?
Hisui: Aaargh, what the hell is this city! You can't trust a single person!
Shing: We've got no other leads on the Spirune, though... Let's go see that Chen person.
(The party leaves, and shortly afterwards the mystery useless lesbian from before enters the scene again).
???: Damn you, Chen... Are you trying to hire these guys, too?
Shing: ... This guy’s armour is fake, too...
Hisui (blushing and punching Shing): S-Shut the hell up! At least I didn’t believe the first guy!

The cutscene ends there. God damn this is big for an update.
