Dialogue
Daytime
- Shams: No one needs a vacation more than someone who's just had a vacation.
Are you on vacation?
- Shams: Bingo — warm sunlight, tasty food, and an endless supply of time!
- Shams: Haha, don't misunderstand me, I'm no hedonist. It's just that I finished up a big job, and now I happen to be enjoying my holiday.
- Shams: It wasn't easy going to Inazuma to do business during the Sakoku Decree... *sigh* But that's all in the past now. No point in dwelling on it.
- Shams: Anyway, after wrapping up that big one, I can finally take it easy for a while.
It was pretty tough.- Shams: Yeah, if you've tried to get through the thunderstorm around Inazuma, you must know what I mean.
- Shams: In the end, I had to ask for help from the Crux Fleet to take the herbs and stuff to Watatsumi Island.
- Shams: I learned quite a lot from them on that trip... But, uh, I'm gonna save it for the next time we work together.
- (Obtain
Guide to Gold)
- Enjoy your vacation.
- Shams: Enjoy, enjoy! All together now!
Nighttime
- Shams: Kamal, hear me out, next time, I want to do an even bigger job...
- Who's Kamal?
- Shams: Kamal is my old pal!
- Shams: But Kamal's already packed it in and doesn't do this business with me anymore... *burp* He insisted on joining some doggone Adventurers' Guild.
- Shams: The way I see it, those small-fry jobs the Adventurers' Guild is slinging aren't nearly as — *burp* Aren't nearly as exciting as my work...
- Shams: Maybe he just got tired of it. If you have the spare time — *burp* — don't forget to bring my old pal Kamal some good food and drinks.
- As long as I get paid.
- Shams: Okay, okay, payment's not an issue.
- Shams: *burp*... I don't think he's around here, so I'm gonna save you the trouble today.
- Shams: Here, this is... *burp* for you.

Biryani ×3)
- "An even bigger job"...?
- (Before finishing Where the Boat of Consciousness Lies)
-
- Shams: What's hottest in Sumeru right now is definitely... uh, that canned stuff, pretty rare... Right?
- (After finishing Where the Boat of Consciousness Lies)
-
- Shams: What's hottest in Sumeru right now is definitely... uh, that canned stuff that's pretty rare at the moment... Right?
- Shams: Akasha might have been shut down, but some people are still using the terminals on the down low for their own unscrupulous ends.
- Shams: *burp* ...Someone like me doesn't have the cushy reserves of the Homayanis. If I want to make money, I have to take risks and do high-end business.
- Shams: People of superior learning may not give a hoot about anything else, but that's not the case when it comes to knowledge.
- Shams: Let me tell ya, I got them all figured out... *burp*
- (Time to make a discreet exit...)
- Shams: I will... make a profit!
