“Uhm, how do we dig?” Amelia points out that there’s a flaw with this expedition.
“Here’s a shovel!” Conti takes one out of seemingly nowhere. “I always have one of these babies with me in case I have to profane a grave.” He said that too casually and not in a joking way.
“No, I think it’s time for the old farts to do something.” You furrow your brows.
“You wanted a chance to be part of history, it’s now or never, mister something!” Tonu won’t grab that damn shovel either.
“I-I’m too old for this!” Mr. Conti won’t do it!
“If only you thought like that 20 years ago…” You raise an eyebrow.
“…You win, Mr. Ando. I’m the only one man enough here to see this through.” Mr. Conti starts his excavation…

At long last, they find a wooden hatch. There’s a message on top in old Prancijanian. Ms. Redbroon, who specializes in linguistics, reads it:
<span class="mu-i">“Prancijan’s Greatest Treasure for Prosperity.”</span>

“Get away from it…!” Conti pushes Ms. Gainsbourg away! The evil looking woman breaks the fall with her face, but she’s fine aside from some ankle problems. “I told you, father, I told you I would get my hands on it…! IT’S MINE!”
“Little swine! Why did you do that to her?!” Ms. Redbroon starts choking Conti! Apparently, Ms. Gainsbourg is her friend…?
“H-Hey, leave the risky content for later!” Mr. Zhi attempts to separate them!
“You idiotic muppets...” Ms. McKenzie tries to help, but… “<span class="mu-i">KAH!!!</span>” She trips with the shovel and all four principals roll down the foothill…
