Dialogue
Quest DescriptionYou have not gone to see Ioroi of Chinju Forest for quite some time now. Perhaps it's time to pay the sealed king of bake-danuki a visit...
- (Upon logging in)
- Paimon: Come to think of it, how's Ioroi doing nowadays?
- Paimon: Why don't we go to Chinju Forest to look for him? For all we know, he might've popped out of his stone stature already!
- (Approach Ioroi)
- Ioroi: Eeek—! The scent of humans! Nay, I am but a statue! A handsome, mighty statue, yes, but still—!
- (Talk to Ioroi)
- Paimon: Hey there, Ioroi!
- Ioroi: Eeek! You saw through me? How did... Wait, no, this scent...
- Ioroi: Ah, so it's you. It has been so long, I could not recognize your scent!
- Paimon: And you haven't changed at all, Ioroi — still scared of humans and stuck in a stone!
- Ioroi: Mmm!? What do you mean by that?
Hope your seal can be lifted soon.- Paimon means that we hope that your seal will soon be lifted.
- Ioroi: Bah, it is but a human seal! If I were but to try harder...
- *cough*
- Ioroi: ...
- Ioroi: Well. Regardless, I see you have taken goof care of the little ones. My little tanuki often say that they enjoy playing with their nice-smelling yellow-furred (Uncle/
Aunt). - Yellow-furred (Uncle/
Aunt)... - Nice-smelling...
- Also, it's not (Uncle/
Aunt). It's Big (Bro/ Sis). - Ioroi: And here I had thought that humans were all the same as that fellow who had us sealed — wicked and scary. But it seems that there are still some good eggs amongst you.
- Most people are alright.
- Why, thank you.
- Paimon: That's right. Most of the people we've met are good people! You got sealed because you stole that comb...
- Ioroi: Hmph! And I've returned it! So if you ever meet that fellow who learned magic from Reizenbou, tell him to get me out of this stone!
- Ioroi: Mmph! When you get down to it, everything is that sneaky kitsune's fault...
- Paimon: (Ioroi really complains like some old geezer, huh?)
- (Well, he is quite old.)
- Ioroi: Well then, neither your hands nor legs are made of stone, so you've been to many places, surely?
- Paimon: Yup! We came right over the ocean, you know?
- You tell Ioroi about your adventures in Mondstadt and Liyue.
- Ioroi: ...So, there are so many lands abroad. Very impressive.
- Ioroi: I have been subsisting off reports from the little tanuki all this while, and so do not know what the outside world is like.
- Ioroi: Once upon a time, I stood at the summit of Mt. Yougou and saw a very, very high mountain on the other side of the ocean. It was possibly even taller than Mt. Yougou. I still wonder, even today, what that place was.
- Across the ocean, you say...
- Paimon: That's gotta be Dragonspine, right?
- From the direction you're referring to, that's probably Dragonspine.
- Ioroi: Mmmm, Dragonspine? Just thinking about that name makes my tummy feel cold. Goodness knows why that fellow wants to go there...
- Ioroi: ...
- Ioroi: As I said earlier, you are fine folks, yes? So...
- Paimon: Paimon can smell this request coming a mile away!
- Ioroi: Mmm! Even like this, I am still the Hidden Protector of the Grove, defender of Chinju Forest, and thusly appointed by Her Excellency herself! If I was not sealed in stone, I would certainly use an eight-tatami large...
- Alright then. What do you need help with?
- Well...
- Paimon: Ooh, Paimon knows what you mean, (Traveler)! Will there be treasure?
- Ioroi: Treasure? Why, of course! I am the chief of five hundred and five bake-danuki, after all! Not a single one of Inazuma's treasures has ever escaped my sight.
- In that case, what do you need help with?
- Paimon: That's right, we're super good at helping!
- Ioroi: Though I cannot move on my own power, the little children can do so. As such, I would like to ask you to take the little tanuki out to train.
- Ioroi: Take Kichiboushi with you. He has been quite eager to see you since the last time you played together — quite eager indeed!
- Well, we can do that...
- One question, if you would...
- Paimon: That's true. We can't understand what Kichiboushi says, so wouldn't traveling together be kinda tough?
- Ioroi: Impossible. We tanuki understand human speech by nature. It is you humans who do not speak ours.
- Paimon: What? Is that how it is?
- But as travel companions...
- We'd like to chat as we travel, you know?
- Paimon: Just like Paimon does with (Traveler)!
- Ioroi: Mmph. Very well then. Now that I consider it, didn't someone once use our magic to make you some food?
- Ioroi: Now, I may look like this, but making you a "meal" that can allow you to understand Kichiboushi's speech is hardly impossible nonetheless.
- Paimon: Woo-hoo! Food!
- Is it gonna taste good, though...
- Ioroi: Now, now, don't you underestimate my culinary prowess!
- Although you can't be sure where Ioroi got it from...
- You and Paimon have a feast that "looks very delicious" off Ioroi's stone tummy.
- Paimon: Ooh, this is great!
- Ioroi: Of course. I am Ioroi, you know — the very same who once made Sashimi Platters out of mud balls and tanuki fur to utterly deceive the Four Oni of Ogata!
- Paimon: That's awesome, Ioroi! But so, what did you make the meal we just had out of?
- Some questions are best left unasked, Paimon.
- Paimon: Huh?
- Paimon: Well, forget it. Let's go find Kichiboushi and have a chat!
- (Talk to Ioroi again)
- Ioroi: Through the power of the bake-danuki meal made by mine own hands, you, too, may speak to the little tanuki. Go, try having a chat with Kichiboushi.
- We'll do that.
- Ioroi: Go, then, go. I have all the time in the world to go nowhere, but it is not so with my little tanuki.
- (Talk to Kichiboushi)
- Paimon: Hey there, Kichiboushi! Long time no see!
- "Kichiboushi": Mm! White Fur, Yellow Fur.
- I guess "Yellow Fur" must be me?
- Paimon: Who're you calling White Fur?
- "Kichiboushi": Mm, very strong. Can understand.
- I'm (Traveler), and this is Paimon.
- Paimon: And you'd better remember that!
- "Kichiboushi": Squelch squelch Lavender Melon.
- Paimon: What? Lavender Melon? And what's "squelch squelch" supposed to mean?
- Paimon: Well, at least we can kinda-sorta communicate...
- "Kinda-sorta" is kinda-sorta right.
- Paimon: Whatever the case, (Traveler), let's go back and see Ioroi again. We are taking Kichiboushi out on a long journey, after all.
- "Kichiboushi": Ioroi! Yey!
- Paimon: Yey!
- (Talk to Ioroi)
- Ioroi: Mm! How goes it?
- "Kichiboushi": Mm! See White Fur, Yellow Fur, very happy. Lavender Melon Kapow!
- Lavender Melon Kapow...
- Ioroi: Hmm, quite the bright spark, aren't you?
- "Kichiboushi": Kapow!
- So, what does Lavender Melon Kapow mean again...?
- "Kichiboushi": Kapow is Kapow. Lavender Melon is Lavender Melon.
- Ioroi: Well, it seems that communications have been established without any problems. Ah, mine "culinary" skills are as fine as ever!
- ...I suppose so?
- Paimon: Nope, not at all! We can't understand a thing Kichiboushi's saying!
- ..."Without any problems," he says...
- Paimon: Well, Ioroi, here's the thing...
- You tell Ioroi how the attempted interactions are going...
- Ioroi: Mmm, so that's how it is. Not to worry. It is because you are not yet used to Kichiboushi's aura.
- Ioroi: Take it slow! The more used to his aura you are, the better you shall understand him!
- Paimon: How slow are we talking about here?
- Ioroi: Ah, hmm. Let me think about that...
- Ioroi: Eh! Whatever the case, do not be in a rush!
- "Kichiboushi": Rush no good.
- You don't know either, do you?
- Ioroi: Hmph! I will have you know that I am Ioroi, the long-lived king of bake-danuki! I simply do not put such premiums on time as you humans do.
- Paimon: (Even though he's spent most of his time sealed in that stone statue...)
- Then why can you speak to humans just fine, Ioroi?
- Ioroi: Mmph! Such impertinence! Rather, you should ask why you humans may speak to us.
- Ioroi: Having lived as long and become as powerful as I have, I have had at least some interactions with humanity.
- Ioroi: A long, long time ago, I often spoke with tengu, kitsune, oni, youkai, and humans alike. And while human stories often concern themselves, at least half of them involve bake-danuki who transformed into humans.
- Ioroi: Half of the remaining half are indeed about humans themselves, and the other half are about all the other youkai.
- Ioroi: But even in this half, a good half concern we tanuki, who clad ourselves in the guise of the other youkai. Then half again of the tanuki tales are those concerning me.
- Ioroi: Mmph, as such, you may see that I am the greatest of them all. Naturally, speaking to you young ones is no tall order at all.
- I get it. Five over sixteen to Ioroi, yes?
- Ioroi: Mm? What's "Five Over Sixteen"? Is it something that one may eat?
- "Kichiboushi": Sounds delicious. Want to eat.
- Paimon: (Traveler)'s referring to the percentage of stories that you're involved in, Ioroi.
- "Kichiboushi": Ioroi. Powerful!
- Ioroi: Hah, why of course! You have much to learn from my powers, you do.
- Paimon: Eh? Come to think of it, we're starting to get what Kichiboushi is saying, aren't we?
- "Kichiboushi": White Fur smart.
- Paimon: That might have been praise, but Paimon sure doesn't feel good about it.
- Ioroi: Good, good. Then I leave this child in your hands. Take him to go see the world and train!
- Ioroi: Why, when I was but a young tanuki, I too went on a pilgrimage to eighteen sites in Inazuma along the trail of the great bake-danuki Tsukumo, never once straying from the tanuki paths — only thus did I reach my present stature.
- Paimon: Eh? Is that why you were sealed in stone?
- "Kichiboushi": Mm-haha! Stone!
- Ioroi: Eh!? You too, Kichiboushi...?
- Paimon: Ahem! So, uh, back on topic! Where should we go first?
- There's that place Ioroi mentioned earlier...
- Paimon: Uh-huh! Dragonspine it is, then!
- How does Dragonspine sound?
- Paimon: "If there's a mountain, we shall climb it" — ah, Paimon's been waiting for a chance to say something cool like that!
- "Kichiboushi": Mountain, there!
- Ioroi: Oooh, that sounds cold... Don't let your tummy get cold now, Kichiboushi. You'll catch a cold otherwise, and if you do, you won't be able to perform using your belly drum.
- Ioroi: Also, remember to eat properly and follow (Uncle/
Aunt) Yellow Fur like a good boy. - "Kichiboushi": Understand! Following (Uncle/
Aunt) Yellow Fur! - We'll take good care of Kichiboushi, don't worry.
- Don't you worry.
- It's not (Uncle/
Aunt). It's Big (Bro/ Sis). - Paimon: Pleased to meet you, Kichiboushi!
- "Kichiboushi": Mm! No worry! Kichiboushi take care of you!
- Paimon: Hmm, looks like we're not completely getting through to him...
- (Quest completes)
- (Talk to Ioroi again)
- Ioroi: I leave Kichiboushi in your trusty hands. He is quite wise. Once he grows older, I plan to pass my titles of "Bake-Danuki King" and "Protector of the Grove" unto him.
- Ioroi: So, please take good care of him. Make sure he doesn't catch a cold!
