Quest Description

Concerned about the progress of the Watatsumi Goryou Matsuri, you decide to visit Sangonomiya Shrine...

(Upon logging into the game): Paimon: Huh. Paimon wonders how the Watatsumi Goryou Matsuri preparations have been going.; Paimon: Let's go see Tsuyuko, shall we?

(Talk to Tsuyuko): Tsuyuko: A breeze from the south blew across Watatsumi Island today — a sure sign that friends would come visit.; Paimon: Every time you say something like this, that means things are about to get busy... for us.; Tsuyuko: Oh, don't say that. Haven't we had a fruitful partnership? The most fruitful sort, in fact.; Tsuyuko: That said, I do have something to ask of the two of you today.; Tsuyuko: It is told in my family that apart from the Watatsumi Goryou Matsuri, we also added a different set of trials. One unrelated to Watatsumi Island's survival, but instead, related to the truth.; Paimon: Another... set of trials?; Tsuyuko: Now that the island is no longer under existential threat, I would just like to tell you this. Consider it our clan's duty.; Tsuyuko: You can go to the place they call the Serpent's Heart. The clues to this second set of trials is hidden there.; Tsuyuko: ...Well, that's a relief! Guess I can safely hand this crushing responsibility on to my future daughter now.; Paimon: ...Is that how you pay respect to your ancestral mission?; Paimon: Paimon still doesn't get you even after all this time, Tsuyuko...

(Talk to Eboshi): ???: That I have appeared before you must mean that the Bloodbranch Coral is in Watatsumi's hands. And a most comforting thought that is.; ???: My name is Erebos. In the Inazuman tongue, that would be Eboshi. I am an auxiliary of Sangonomiya, one of the shrine maidens of Enkanomiya.; Eboshi: You must be the hero who obtained the coral, I suppose?; That would be me.; Eboshi: My apologies, but that which I shall shortly speak of is a most complicated matter. In truth, I do not know where to begin.; Paimon: Just start from the start! We'll listen!; Eboshi: You have my gratitude. In that case, allow me to introduce such matters as I may to you. We must begin with Watatsumi Omikami opening the gate to the depths.; Eboshi: The depths of Enkanomiya play host to a natural cave system that leads to Watatsumi Island. This is the paradise that was promised to us by Watatsumi Omikami.; Eboshi: At Omikami's instruction, we learned the culture of Narukami, and we established foreign relations with many different nations.; Eboshi: Narukami Island even knew us as the "beauties of Watatsumi," renowned for our soft skin, which would conceal seven types of skin blemish...; Eboshi: ...This, of course, being mostly a consequence of our ancestors' lack of sunlight in the depths of Enkanomiya...; Uh, could we get to the point?; This feels like old news. Could we get to the point?; Eboshi: Ah, sorry. During the process of establishing foreign relations, I would give guided tours to visitors in my role as a Sangonomiya auxiliary, so I just...; Eboshi: Right. Back to the point. Lady Sangonomiya and I had a disagreement, which resulted in the current arrangement, following Watatsumi Omikami's mediation.; Eboshi: Due to the phenomenon known as Sinshades, the "past," "history," and "truth" of Enkanomiya would endure even if left to their own devices.; Eboshi: As such, great effort was expended, not that we might remember, but that we might "forget." Lady Sangonomiya was of this view.; Paimon: (The Sangonomiya she's talking about must've been from a real long time ago...); Eboshi: The trial to obtain the branch was intended to limit the number of people coming after us who could know the whole truth of the matter.; Eboshi: As for me, I supported leaving records of the truth. As such, Watatsumi Omikami permitted me to add another trial path that, if passed, would lead to knowledge of our secrets.; Eboshi: Please accept this challenge.; I accept your challenge.; Oh, secrets. I like secrets.; Eboshi: That is well. In that case, allow me to open that path for you.

(A cutscene plays and three new subareas are revealed)

Eboshi: The three trial areas have been prepared.; Eboshi: Now, allow me to give you the clues to clearing them.; Eboshi: Now, in this Evernight, gaze upon the borders of Byakuyakoku.; Eboshi: "In the faintness of everlasting night, beyond the rushing of the river Styx, within the sinless flow of heavenly light."; Eboshi: Release the seal on The Emanant Skylight. Then, you may ascend to the Gate of Heaven and access the site of the trial.; The Emanant Skylight?; Eboshi: At night, you can see three pillars of light that descend from the dome above. These pillars point unto The Emanant Skylight.; Paimon: You're speaking in riddles!; Eboshi: Sorry, this is how the script written by Watatsumi Omikami reads. And I mean, aren't unclear instructions also part of the tradition of such trials?; Eboshi: Whatever the case may be. All the Jibashiri at the trial area are weirdos. If you don't pass through the teleporter to get there, they won't speak gently to you.; Eboshi: Either way, I can only stay here and hope that you will conquer all the obstacles set before you, and that you will return crowned in recognition.
(Quest ends, proceed to Step 2 of The Three Great Martial Trials)
