Steps
- Talk to the strange merchant
Dialogue
While taking a stroll through Veluriyam Mirage, you and Paimon notice a weary merchant. Perhaps giving her a hand may earn you a rare reward...
- (Approach the marked location)
- Paimon: Oh no! (Traveler)! There's someone lying on the ground over there, this looks bad! Let's go help her out!
- (Talk to Madiha)
- Madiha: I should have hired someone to do this for me...
- Madiha: It's only the first test, but I have to cross mountains... This is torture!
- Paimon: Are you alright? You sound so weak...
- Paimon: (Traveler), she looks absolutely exhausted. Let's make her some food!
- You cook up some piping-hot Fried Radish Balls and Steak at the nearby stove to help the stranger regain her strength...
- Madiha: Hahahaha! I feel so ALIVE!
- Madiha: You've got skills. However, the low-quality ingredients and spices resulted in a rather dry texture.
- Paimon: How can you be so picky at a time like this!? A full stomach is all that matters!
- Madiha: On the contrary! The harder times get, the more you must crave the luxuries of life! It's how you stay motivated!
- Madiha: The more your cash flow dries up, the bigger the loan you take out! It's the only way you can go all out and reverse your fortune!
- Madiha: That is the trade secret of turning the tides that I, the Phantom Toy Master Madiha, am bestowing upon you in return for your aid.
- Paimon: Ph-Phantom Toy Master? That sounds pretty cool! But looking like that, it doesn't seem right...
Your toy isn't finished yet, huh?
Maybe you're broke?- Madiha: Hey! H-How did you know!?
- Paimon: Let's see... you nearly died of hunger, you were so confused that you were talking to yourself, something about a test and hiring someone...
- Paimon: So obviously, you haven't finished your signature toy, right? It must be going really bad if you can't even remember to eat!
- Madiha: H-How could you say that! I won't be spoken of like that! My Barking Fox is in the final stage before production!
- Madiha: Once I figure out the flight envelope of the Barking Fox, I'll be able to write a manual that even Fungi can understand! Then with another loan for mass-production, I'll be able to turn a huge profit!
- Paimon: Flight envelope? What manual? Explain without the technical jargon so Paimon can understand!
- Madiha: It's easier to just show you!
- Madiha pulls out a blue package from her bag and quickly inflates it.
A moment later, a strange-looking toy appears and floats steadily in midair. - Paimon: Is that your signature toy? It doesn't even look like a fox! You should just call it something like... Limited Edition Big-Eared Sunsettia Bomb: Blue Star!
- Paimon: And why is it called "Barking"? It doesn't even look like it's barking with laughter!
- Madiha: No, no, no! It's because its jet sounds like someone barking with laughter! Have a listen if you don't believe me!
- Barking Fox: (It emits an indescribably low howling sound. It would be stretching the bounds of the truth to even consider comparing it to "barking.")
- Paimon: Where did she even hear that laughter from...? (Traveler), Paimon thinks she may be barking mad...
- Madiha: Anyway, a small hot air balloon provides lift for the Barking Fox while the hidden jet provides propulsion, so it has excellent maneuverability.
- Madiha: Just imagine a toy that can fly nimbly! Forget kids, even adults wouldn't be able to resist its charms!
That does sound quite novel.
It may sell well.- Paimon: Paimon smells something familiar...
- Paimon: Let Paimon guess! Madiha is going to say: Please help me complete the final tests, and I'll reward you.
- Paimon: But Paimon and (Traveler) will have to think about it. We're busy, and you'll have to make it worth our while...
- Madiha: No! Of course a small reward won't be enough! Let me do the math...
- Madiha: 60%... No! 70% of the total Barking Fox profits for the next year! What do you think?
- Paimon: 70%! Isn't that a bit too much...?
- Paimon: Ahem... Paimon means to say that you're speaking Paimon's language, Phantom Toy Master!
Can it even be mass-produced within a year?
And even mass-production may not turn a profit...- Madiha: Now you've grasped the crux of the matter! The faster you complete testing, the sooner the Barking Fox can enter production and begin sales, and the more you'll make!
- Madiha: We must work together to perfect it quickly! It's a win-win situation!
- Paimon: Oh, this is starting to make sense now...
- Paimon: Hehe, (Traveler), if we do this, we'll be involved in the toy industry and can be called merchants, right?
- Madiha: Time is money! Let's get to it. I sought help from a few adventurers in the past and set up a few flight envelope test challenges based on their experiences. Let me show you where they are...
- Madiha: The Barking Fox's future and the Phantom Toy Master's brand are in your hands!
