Dialogue[]
Quest DescriptionFollowing Paimon's whim, you return to Inazuma where you encounter an unknown youkai. Intrigued by this small creature, you are drawn into a moonlit encounter...
- (On accepting quest)
- Paimon: You know where we haven't been in a while? Inazuma.
- Paimon: Might be nice to get a change of scenery. Come on, let's go!
- (Approach the teleport waypoint)
-
- (The time turns to night)
- Paimon: Ahh, remember when we chased that tanuki down this way? Good times!
- Paimon: Huh? What's that?
A tanuki?- A piglet?
- Paimon: Paimon doesn't think they look anything like that... Oh, maybe there's a new kind of youkai in town?
- Paimon: Umm.... Is it trying to get us to follow it?
- (Approach the cliffside)
- Paimon: What's that girl doing over there?
- Paimon: She doesn't look well... Let's go check on her.
- Paimon: What just happened? All we did was lock eyes with her for a split-second, and then...
- Paimon: Wait, where did all these people come from? And what are they here for?
Looks like they're waiting in line for some reason.- Paimon: True... Oh, and there's that girl! She's still here. Hmm, maybe she knows what happened?
- Tejima: If I leave now, will I have enough time?
- Shigeru: How many times do I have to explain?
- Sanada: There's no going back if I report him. But still...
- ???: Hmm... anxiety over a lack of creative inspiration... Well, inspiration tends to give anxious minds a wide berth, so I hope our treatment will help you relax.
- Wakamurasaki: ...Thank you.
- ???: ...Remorse for the misdeeds of the past, and despair over the sorry state of the present... I can help you face your troubles with a more positive mindset, but you'll need to work through things in your own time, too.
- Nishiguchi: ...Many thanks.
- ???: Next please! *cough*...
- Paimon: What's wrong with her?
- Are you alright?
- ???: I'm fine. Next, please...
- Paimon: Um...
- ???: Mmm! Delicious!
- Paimon: Whoa, that was unexpected...
- ???: Huh? What do we have here... *burp*! Oh no, I'm so sorry...
- Paimon: Sorry for what? We have no idea what's going on here, let alone what you're sorry for. Would you mind bringing us up to speed?
- ???: It looks like you entered my dream by mistake. Let me wake you up, then I'll explain everything.
- Paimon: Dream? When did that—
- Paimon: Whoa...
- ???: Hi! Feeling more awake now? Heh, I never expected (TravelerTraveler) to literally come to me in a dream.
- How do you know who I am?
- ???: Oh, someone I know talks about you all the time. Plus... I'm pretty good at profiling people based on their reputation.
- Paimon: So who are you?
- ???: Right, of course. It's our first time meeting each other, so I should introduce myself properly.
- Yumemizuki Mizuki: My name is Yumemizuki Mizuki — or just "Mizuki" for short. I'm a yumekui-baku, which is a kind of youkai here in Inazuma.
- Paimon: Yumekui-baku?
- Little Baku: *hum*
- Paimon: Hey, it's that little critter from before...
- Yumemizuki Mizuki: That's what we look like in our original form. I'm guessing that's the one that led you into my dream earlier?
- Yumemizuki Mizuki: Baku feast on the bad dreams of human beings — but we need to be in a dream of our own to digest them. The place where you met me earlier was where I go to digest bad dreams.
- Yumemizuki Mizuki: I must have swallowed one too many bad dreams, because they were causing me some digestive trouble... It's actually a good thing you showed up when you did.
- Yumemizuki Mizuki: Call it a happy accident, I guess. Thanks to your help, I'm now able to digest all these dreams properly.
- Paimon: Yeah, we thought you looked a little uncomfortable. That's why we came over. We didn't know what it was, we just thought maybe you could use some help.
- Paimon: And Paimon really hates bad dreams, so Paimon's even more happy to help knowing that you can eat them!
- Yumemizuki Mizuki: Thank you... but I still owe you an apology...
- For what?
- Yumemizuki Mizuki: While you were inside my dream... I ate one of your dreams, but it wasn't a bad one. It was a nice one.
- Yumemizuki Mizuki: I've eaten so many bad dreams today that I just scarfed it down without noticing...
- Paimon: So yumekui-baku can eat good dreams too, huh... Still, is that really such a big deal?
- Yumemizuki Mizuki: Of course it is. Dreams are some of the most precious things a person can have, and I just went and gobbled it down...
- Yumemizuki Mizuki: It's the unwritten rule of my kind: Never eat someone else's good dreams without permission. I can't believe I was so careless.
- Don't beat yourself up.
- I feel fine.
- Yumemizuki Mizuki: But... Don't you feel horribly depressed? Isn't your mind suddenly flooded with distressing memories?
- Nope.
- Yumemizuki Mizuki: Remarkable... I've never heard of someone remaining so mentally stable after having a good dream of theirs devoured...
- Paimon: Umm... It's probably because (TravelerTraveler) has too many good dreams to count!
- Yumemizuki Mizuki: Maybe, but I still owe you something for your trouble... Ah! Here, take this.
- Paimon: It's a VIP pass for the Aisa Bathhouse...
- Aisa Bathhouse VIP Pass
- Aisa Bathhouse VIP Pass
- Paimon: "Staffed by clinical psychologists and offering spa and fine dining services, we invite you to bring us your troubles and leave refreshed and renewed"...
- Yumemizuki Mizuki: That's where I work. You'll find the address on there, too.
- Yumemizuki Mizuki: This invitation letter entitles you to enjoy our highest-tier service, free of charge... Oh, and speaking of work — I'd better get back before I'm missed.
- Yumemizuki Mizuki: Hope to see you as customers soon!
- Paimon: So she's a yumekui-baku that eats bad dreams and a clinical psychologist, too?
- It adds up.
- Yeah. Kinda cool...
- Paimon: Paimon's never considered therapy before. Then again, Paimon never really gets that stressed out. Except when she's trying to decide what to eat...
- Paimon: Speaking of eating — that bathhouse place does fine dining, and we have a VIP pass. That means we can eat as much as we want, right? This is the opportunity of a lifetime! We can't let it go to waste!
- (Obtain Aisa Bathhouse VIP Pass)
