Dialogue

UI Quest Quest Description

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...
Icon Dialogue Talk White Your toy isn't finished yet, huh?
Icon Dialogue Talk White 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!
Icon Dialogue Talk White That does sound quite novel.
Icon Dialogue Talk White 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!
Icon Dialogue Talk White Can it even be mass-produced within a year?
Icon Dialogue Talk White 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!
