You finally arrived at Hinoeuma, harboring a small town called Ryu. As you walk around town, you find some guards trying to attack a defenseless man... Then, someone in red robes and black armor steps between them, protecting the defenseless man. You eventually step in too to protect the man.

After defeating the guards, the man in red robes and black armor speaks to you.

"Thank you for the help. You can call me Hikari."
