Making another trip through Green Hill Zone, you made your way to the coast, where the vast, tropical ocean encompassed your sight. On the beach, you were interrupted by a rather overconfident hawk, leading you to focus on your purpose.

You quickly leaped across the ocean, arriving in Marble Zone. You were immediately taken aback by its appearance, full of ruins, danger, and other things unlike Green Hill. Regardless, you had a job to do. In this zone, you had heard of a material found only here, which you sought.

So, moving forward, you ran until finding a small stone containing the material you sought. You were about to crack open the stone, claim the material, and return to Green Hills, but you were interrupted by someone clearing their throat behind you. You stood up to see who it was and were greeted by a sheep, looking at you curiously.

This sheep was Lanolin, the current leader of the second generation of Diamond Cutters. She stepped toward you, looked down at the stone, and spoke in a formal, somewhat stern tone.

"So... what are you doing here? This place isn't the best vacation spot..."

Lanolin asked, inquiring about your reason for being there. This gave you a choice: admit what you were doing honestly, or try to find a way out of this situation. It was up to you.
