Dialogue[]

Quest Description

Nermin seems to be making something...

(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Nermin): Nermin: (Hope Raef likes it...I mean, he has to like it! Hmph!)

(Talk to Nermin)

Nermin: This is definitely gonna be a surprise for Raef... Hehe...

What surprise?

Nermin: Whoa! Don't scare me like that, Traveler!

It's not like I sneaked up on you...

Nermin: I was thinking about something, so I didn't notice you.

Nermin: Traveler, have you heard of something called "perfume"?

Nermin: Granny Jawahir told me that she used to make perfume when she was young...

Nermin: Not only can they cover up the smell of sweat on people's bodies, certain types of perfume have invigorating properties...

Nermin: Raef has to guard the village all the time. He's always really sweaty from the heat and often complains about the sunlight making him dizzy...

Nermin: So I wanna make a bottle of Mint perfume for him.

Nermin: Granny Jawahir wrote down the recipe for making perfume and helped me buy the ingredients...

Nermin: But making perfume is so much trickier than I expected... Just getting the ingredients ready took me a really long time. I made lots of mistakes along the way, too...

Nermin: If things go on like this, Raef's gonna find out I'm making perfume for him!

Nermin: Traveler, could you help me prepare some ingredients? Be careful not to let Raef discover anything, okay?

Why not?

Nermin: I've been preparing this surprise for a long time. I'm not gonna let him know and ruin it all now!

...Leave it to me then.

Nermin: Thanks once again. Don't worry, I'll be sure to make it worth your while!

Nermin: It's not a lot of work. Go find Mr. Azalai and pick up the goods I ordered, then fetch a small bucket of water. That's all!

Nermin: Remember to keep it on the down low. Don't let Raef know!

(Talk to Nermin again, optional): Nermin: How should I go about this step again? My notes... Where are my notes...

(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Raef, optional): Raef: (I hope Nermin will cheer up a bit...)

(Talk to Raef, optional)

Raef: Traveler, what are you busy with this time? Running around like that...

Raef: Oh yeah, have you been helping Nermin with anything lately? Or... perhaps heard any rumors about her?

Raef: It feels like she's been really busy, but I have no idea what's going on...

She... Um... She's busy taking care of her flowers.

Raef: Is that so? But I didn't see any new flower pots in her house...

She... Um... She's busy cooking.

Raef: Huh? Is Hilmi and the others asking her for Minty Bean Soup again?

Raef: These kids... I need to talk to them when I have the time.

(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Azalai): Azalai: (Just think about all the trouble I have to go through for every batch of goods... *sigh*)

(Talk to Azalai)

Azalai: Welcome! What do you need today?

About Nermin's order...

Azalai: Oh, Nermin's order... I have it prepared right here. These are all high-quality ingredients, and they're inexpensive, too.

Azalai: I'm guessing Nermin wants to make some perfume with these ingredients, right?

Azalai: *sigh* It's a good thing to be enthusiastic, but Nermin needs to take better care of herself...

(Obtain Nermin's Perfume Ingredients)

(Fetch a bucket of water): Paimon: This should be enough water. Let's get back to Nermin!

(Report back to Nermin): Nermin: *cough*... The smell... This doesn't seem right...; Are you alright?; Nermin: I'm fine! I accidentally messed up a step in the procedure. Another failed attempt...; Nermin: But let's not talk about that for now. Did you get the ingredients?; Yes, got them right here.

(Submit Nermin's Perfume Ingredients)

Nermin: Great, I still have some remaining ingredients from last time. With the new stuff you brought, I'll get to try a few more times before making the final product.

Nermin: Whew... Let me look over my notes again. I'm sure I'll make it work this time!

Nermin: Oh, I need a few flower petals as well...

Nermin nervously starts making the perfume...

Nermin: It's done! It smells pretty nice... And it didn't turn out all sticky either...

Nermin: That means I've succeeded this time, right...?

Feels like it.

At least it's not a failure.

Nermin: Yeah! Look, I even bought a bottle to put the perfume in!

Nermin: Traveler, let's go give the perfume to Raef together. I hope he'll like it...

(Give Raef the perfume): Raef: Nermin, and... the Traveler. What brings you here? Did you run into trouble?; Raef: Don't tell me something's wrong with the flowers... I'm still on duty right now... When I'm done, I'll...; Nermin has something for you.; Nermin: Here, this bottle of perfume is for you! It's Mint-scented.; Nermin: I wanted to make it smell like Zaytun Peaches at first... But for some reason, once I added them into the mixture, the perfume became all sticky...; Raef: Th—Thank you. But what is this... "perfume" supposed to be for?; Nermin: Helping you stay alert! It also helps cover up the smell of your sweat. Don't you feel dizzy from getting drenched in sweat all day?; Raef: Uh, I guess I'm used to it. It might feel a little awkward if the smell's suddenly gone...; Nermin: Then don't use it. I'm taking it back.; Raef: Hey, wait! I was just joking!; Raef: Give me that perfume, quick! I'm starting to feel dizzy...; Nermin: Here you go. You just have to apply it onto your arms — that's what Granny Jawahir said.; Raef: The smell's not bad, and it's indeed quite refreshing. It feels nice and cool on my arms...; Nermin: Hmph! It's Granny Jawahir's secret recipe after all.; Nermin: I got to make such wonderful perfume thanks to the Traveler's help.; I just helped a little.; Raef: Please forgive me for asking so many favors of you...; Raef: These are for you. Just think of them as your compensation... Thank you so much.; Raef: This perfume is indeed pretty handy...; Raef: But... uh... Nermin, why are there red spots forming where I've applied it...?
