Dialogue

(Talk to Sluasi)

Paimon: Huh. What are you doing here all by yourself?

Sluasi: Gah! Don't suddenly talk to people while standing behind them! You almost made me scatter this powder...

Paimon: Powder? Err, what's this stuff?

Sluasi: Gems!

Paimon: Gems? But why would there be any here?

Sluasi: Wouldn't it be stranger to not find them here? I mean, this is my workshop, in which I process gems... Although I must admit that it doesn't have an official name yet.

Sluasi: I did consider calling it "Studio Sluasi" in the past, but I'm not sure if using my name so directly is such a good idea.

What do you mean by "processing gems"?

Sluasi: That means that I turn gems into various pretty ornaments... and stuff?

Sluasi: Unfortunately, I won't be able to take new commissions for a while. I need to concentrate on making paints... Well, I am still using gems for that, though.

Paimon: You're gonna make paints out of gems? Are you serious?

Sluasi: Yes. What's wrong?

Paimon: Um, well, it just feels like a waste... You could just give them to Paimon...

Paimon: But still, why do you need to make paints? Paimon's pretty sure there's no such step in using gems to make ornaments, right?

Sluasi: Well, a child who loves painting came to ask me if I could make paints as shiny as gems and as bright as the sun.

Sluasi: Moreover, she recently saved my younger sister when the village was shaking very violently.

Sluasi: That's why I've decided to try to fulfill her wish by creating a "paint as bright as the sun" and giving it to her as a thank-you gift.

Wait, you must be referring to...

Paimon: Is the girl who enjoys painting you spoke of named Mamere?

Sluasi: Hmm? Yes... Do you two know her?

You tell Sluasi about your previous experiences with Mamere...

Sluasi: So... So the two of you are the esteemed ones who saved Puca alongside Mamere?

Paimon: Esteemed ones...?

Yes, that was us.

I wouldn't call us the "esteemed" anything...

Sluasi: Thank you. Thank you both so much! If it weren't for you, Puca might have been...

Sluasi: Please, take these... If you don't mind, that is!

(Beautiful jewels...)

Paimon: Can we really take them, (‍‍)? They look really expensive...

Thank you.

Paimon: Still, Paimon didn't think Mamere would go commission people of her own accord...

Sluasi: Well, she didn't really commission me to do anything, did she? She just asked if I could do it. In fact, she ran off before I could even reply...

Paimon: That... Yeah. That sounds like something she would do.

Sluasi: Speaking of which, esteemed (‍‍) and Paimon...

Sluasi: What would you call "the closest thing to the sun in color"?

Sluasi: I have tried to observe the sun myself, but I am not sure what materials I should use to recreate its tones...

Paimon: Hmm... "closest to the sun in color," you say...

...Gold, perhaps?

Sluasi: Well, Canotila did tell me once that "gold is the tears of the sun," or something like that...

Paimon: But wouldn't that be way too luxurious? There has to be something more normal we could use...

...The sun?

Sluasi: ...That is true. The closest thing to the sun is indeed the sun itself.

Sluasi: But how do I grind the sun into powder, I wonder...

Paimon: What? Are you seriously discussing something this ridiculous?

In that case, you could probably use my hair...

Sluasi: ...Hmm?

Paimon: C'mon, you can't use hair to make paints!

Paimon: Just think. We have to have seen something that most "resembles in the sun in color" and that can be found just about anywhere...

(Obtain Varunada Lazurite Fragment ×1)

(Talk to Sluasi)

Sluasi: What do you consider "closest to the sun in color"?

(Submit Nilotpala Lotus, Cor Lapis or Berry ×1)

(If submitted Niloptala Lotus)

Sluasi: Ah, so this is the thing you call a "Nilotpala Lotus."

Sluasi: Hmm. How strange. Why is it named for the moon, when it should be the thing "closest in color to the sun"?

Paimon: Well, are the sun and moon really that different in color?

(If submitted Cor Lapis)

Sluasi: Ah, so this is what they call "Cor Lapis."

Sluasi: Ah, it is so warm... it smells so good and feels so soft — it truly is as gentle as the sun itself. Surely, humans must use these to make food? Anyway, thank you so much. I will remember this item.

Paimon: How... were you able to see all that?

(If submitted Berry)

Sluasi: Ah, I see, I see... This is the "Berry" you spoke of.

Sluasi: It is cold and hard, yet supple... and it stings the eyes like the sunlight of a winter afternoon. Surely this must be a metal that humans forge to make their weapons! Thank you very much. I shall remember this item.

Paimon: How... were you able to see all that?

Sluasi carefully checks the material before handing them back to you...

Sluasi: Whatever the case, thank you two for your help.

Sluasi: However, I cannot simply take what is yours, esteemed (‍‍). Thus, I shall simply learn the name of that material from you, and I shall later set out to find it myself.

Sluasi: Still, would you not say that this color is a bit too... intense?

Sluasi: The "color of the sun" should have a lighter touch, I think...

Paimon: Do you mean that it should lean further toward being "white"?

Paimon: Hmm, that's true. The "sun" is more "white" than it is "gold"...

Sluasi: "White," you say? However, I am not sure what materials we must use to achieve this lighter shade...

Couldn't we just add water?

Sluasi: I have tried that in the past... but it did not turn out so well. Colors produced that way turn out rather murky — they lack the striking brilliance the sun has...

Sluasi: So it would be best if we could use some other material...

Perhaps we could go with Paimon's hair...

Paimon: You can't make paints outta hair!

Paimon: And even if you could, you can't just pluck Paimon's!

Paimon: That said, we can find all sorts of bright, white things around, can't we?

(Talk to Sluasi)

Sluasi: "Something white"... What is that?

(Submit Sango Pearl, White Iron Chunk or Qingxin ×1)

(If submitted Sango Pearl)

Sluasi: Ah, it's a pearl! But it feels a little different from the ones I've seen before. I sense a... coldness from it, of a sort.

Paimon: Hehe. This is no ordinary pearl. It's a Sango Pearl, which means "coral pearl"!

Sluasi: Hmm. Can corals produce pearls too? The outside world is truly fascinating...

Paimon: Err... That's not exactly true. It's called that because they grow near corals.

(If submitted White Iron Chunk)

Paimon: Y'know, wouldn't "a metal painted white" simply be a "White Iron Chunk"?

Paimon: Huh. Come to think of it, considering the price difference between stone and metal, there might actually be some unscrupulous people who might paint stone to sell it as White Iron...

(If submitted Qingxin)

Sluasi: Wow! It's so beautiful! And it even has a light scent to it...

Paimon: Gathering them could be quite tough... But would that be a problem?

Sluasi carefully checks the material before handing them back to you...

Sluasi: Ah, I see, so this is the color that you call "white," yes?

Sluasi: I cannot help but feel that this is the exact opposite of what the "sun's color" is. Would its opposite, then, not be more suitable?

Paimon: Its "opposite"... You mean black?

Sluasi: "Black"... Yes, that must be it. "Black." A brilliant solution, esteemed Paimon. That must be the sun's color indeed!

This feels kinda wrong somehow...

Wonderful and befitting of you, esteemed Paimon.

Paimon: Hey, you cut that out!

Paimon: But why black, though?

Well, the sun is golden...

So if it was the sun at night...

Paimon: The sun doesn't become black at night! Never mind that, there isn't even a sun at night!

Sluasi: In that case, could I ask one more thing of you two?

Sluasi: Please, bring me something that is "black." That way, I shall know what material I must use to create "a color as radiant as the sun."

Paimon: Do we really have to look for that? Paimon thinks we're starting to veer further and further away from anything associated with the sun...

Paimon: But since she's asked us to... Let's go find her something that's "black," shall we?

(Talk to Sluasi)

Sluasi: If I see something black, I will be able to mix a color as radiant as the sun...

(Submit Sand Grease Pupa or Iron Chunk ×1)

(If submitted Sand Grease Pupa)

Sluasi: Is this a bone from some creature? I see, I see. You mean to show that the "blackness" of the sun is all that remains once something has become bereft of all life...

Paimon: Don't say that kind of weird stuff! Anyway, Sand Grease Pupae aren't bones, they're just the shells left behind by Quicksand Eels!

Sluasi: Ah, like taking off old clothes? I see. They are very beautiful clothes, though. Now, if only I could sew together something similar...

(If submitted Iron Chunk)

Sluasi: This is... an ordinary Iron Chunk. I see, so this is what you would term "black"...

Paimon: Well, its shade is a little off, but Paimon reckons it'll work just fine.

Sluasi carefully checks the material before handing them back to you...

Sluasi: Thank you very much. With this, I'm sure I shall be able to make pigments "as bright as the sun," which I may then give her as a gift.

Paimon: Will this really work...?

Paimon: Or rather, can you really make "bright colors" using such base materials?

I suspect not.

Paimon: But Sluasi sure does look happy, though...

It's not utterly impossible...

Paimon: That's true, the colors Mamere uses are pretty weird too...

Sluasi: Whatever the case, I thank you two for your help.

Sluasi: Please, take these as my thanks...

Paimon: Sh—Shiny gems — and components, too!

Sluasi: Hehe. I am glad you like them. If you desire any ornaments in the future, you know where to find me.
