Quest Description

Iwata of Watatsumi Island appears to be having some troubles...

(Talk to Iwata)

Iwata: This doesn't seem right either...

Something the matter?

Iwata: Ah, hello there, Traveler. Well, I... Um... I'm trying to make some fertilizer.

Iwata: I heard from someone that someone from Sumeru has set up a fertilizer shop in Ritou.

Iwata: They say that these fertilizers have unusual properties. As long as you add a little when growing plants, they will grow exceedingly lushly.

Iwata: But I can't go to Ritou to purchase that fertilizer, so I tried making my own here...

You figured out how to make some yourself?

Iwata: Actually, no... I asked around everywhere before coming up with this method myself.

Iwata: To get into the specifics, you want to mix some crops and some, ah, animal excrement together into a pile.

Iwata: Afterward, you cover it with a layer of branches and leaves and such to maintain the temperature.

Iwata: After a while, they say that the ingredients will undergo some changes and even blend together, forming a sort of fertilizer.

Iwata: But no matter how much I experiment, these materials just won't come together. It's really strange...

Do you have the wrong ingredients by any chance?

Iwata: Crops, animal excrement, branches and leaves... Should be correct. That's what I've heard, at least.

Did something go wrong during the process?

Iwata: Pile the materials up, cover with branches to maintain their temperature. No, this should be correct...

Iwata: Where did I go wrong...

Iwata: Forget it. Let me just try again. Traveler, could I ask you for a favor?

Iwata: I'll make another batch of fertilizer. Once it's done, I'd like you to check on it together with me.

Iwata: Given how much you've seen and learned, you might know what went wrong during the process.

Sure.

Iwata: Alright, I'm counting on you, Traveler! I'll make some preparations over there first.

Iwata: Making this sort of fertilizer requires some time, so please come find me in a bit. Until then, please help me watch that fertilizer pile.

(Talk to Iwata again): Iwata: *sigh* I do hope I succeed this time...

(Return the next day and approach Iwata and the slimes): Iwata: H—Help me! Traveler! Please!; Paimon: Eh? These monsters seem really angry for some reason...; Paimon: And... Eugh, what's that smell?; Paimon: N—No, we've gotta take those monsters out first!

(Talk to Iwata after defeating the enemies): Iwata: Thank you, Traveler, thank you...; Iwata: I was halfway through making the fertilizer when those monsters came charging up out of nowhere...; Iwata: That's so strange... But it's good that you showed up when you did.; It might be because of that pile of fertilizer, you know...; Iwata: R—Really? I've heard that this smell is a sign that you might have succeeded.; Iwata: Well, in any case, come over here and have a look at the fertilizer. I'll explain as I open it up...; Gorou: Hold it!; Iwata: Eh? Mr. Gorou? I wasn't aware that you'd be passing this way today.; On patrol, Gorou?; Gorou: I... Uh, never mind that first.; Gorou: Is this pile of... stuff your doing?; Iwata: Hahaha, yes. This fertilizer was the work of our hands.; Iwata: Mr. Gorou, did you come here to check on the fertilizer as well?; Iwata: Hehe, in that case, let's...; Gorou: Wait! Hold on a moment. I'm not here for that. Wait, actually, I am... But...; Paimon: Gorou's face is twisting up something awful...; Let's... adjourn to someplace a little further away...; Gorou: Alright, let's do that.; Everyone leaves the fertilizer pile...; Iwata: So, Mr. Gorou, why are you here?; Gorou: Lately, a lot of residents have been complaining of a terrifying stench nearby...; Gorou: So for safety, I came to investigate, and wound up following the smell all the way here.; Gorou: That's how I found you.; Gorou: Iwata, I've heard that you've been researching fertilizer, but the way that you're going about it is...; ...A disturbance to the peace?; ...Far too intense?; Gorou: Basically. Either way, Iwata, could you please dispose of that fertilizer? We'll try to help you find some other way.; Ookubo Daisuke: Sir! General Gorou!; Gorou: I'm here. What's happened?; Ookubo Daisuke: General, we caught a suspicious person out in the outskirts.; Ookubo Daisuke: She was acting very furtively, calling herself a... fertilizer salesperson, or somesuch.; Ookubo Daisuke: I thought that was awful strange, so I had this person detained. I thought that you might wish to see to her questioning.; Gorou: Fertilizer this, fertilizer that... What is it with me and fertilizer today...; Gorou: I've got it. I'll be with you shortly. Head back first and help to maintain order.; Gorou: Iwata, please deal with the matter of the fertilizer. We'll discuss this further later.; Gorou: Traveler, why don't you come with me?; Doesn't seem like there's anything else to do.; A fertilizer... salesperson?; Paimon: Someone selling fertilizer? Paimon can't help feel like that's familiar somehow... Nothing's coming to mind, though...; Paimon: Ah well, whatever. Let's just go over there and see what's up!

(Talk to Iwata again): Iwata: *sigh* Fertilizers are much trickier than I thought...

(Approach Alrani and the Sangonomiya Samurai): Hiroyuki: Stay right there and don't move!; Alrani: I—I'm not moving! You asked me to explain, and I explained that I'm really a researcher from the Akademiya!; Hiroyuki: Didn't you say that you're advertising fertilizer?; Alrani: I... Can't a researcher from the Akademiya also advertise for fertilizers? Just... Just listen to me for a moment, will you...; Gorou: Is this the person?; Ookubo Daisuke: Yes, sir.; Ookubo Daisuke: When we caught her, she was sneaking around the place and wouldn't stop writing certain things down.; Ookubo Daisuke: General, I'm positive that she's a Shogunate spy!; Alrani: I'm not! And I wasn't! I already told you, I'm a researcher! I was just collecting material for my thesis!; Hiroyuki: Cut the crap! Do you seriously expect us to believe that you'd walk into a battlefield over a thesis? You're definitely playing at something else!; Alrani: ...What could I really dare to play at other than my thesis anyway...; Oh, it's you...; Alrani?; Alrani: Traveler! Oh, this is wonderful! Please tell them I'm not a bad person! I'm just here to write my thesis!; Gorou: You know her?; Well, you could say that...; You tell Gorou about Alrani...; Gorou: Does "graduating" really drive researchers from Sumeru this far up the wall...; Gorou: But given what you've said, you're only acquaintances at best.; Gorou: And as for her status as a "researcher from Sumeru," that's something you only heard from her, isn't it?; That's correct.; Gorou: Hmm... I'm afraid that none of the evidence here is conclusive.; Gorou: But if she's got your guarantee, I'd wager that she isn't a bad person...; Ookubo Daisuke: General, if I may make a suggestion?; Ookubo Daisuke: Do you remember Kaushik? That researcher who's been studying our island's culture and history?; Ookubo Daisuke: He's been here all this while, and his credentials are quite solid... Why don't we ask him to tell if this... fertilizer saleswoman is actually a researcher or not?; Gorou: That actually sounds like a decent plan. Traveler, could we trouble you to bring Kaushik here?; Gorou: Just in case of any incidents, I'll stay here and guard this... fertilizer saleswoman.; Alright.; Gorou: It's up to you then. Come back as quickly as possible.

(Talk to Alrani, optional): Alrani: I... I'm just here to write a thesis. How in the world did I end up locked up again...

(Talk to Gorou, optional): Gorou: Bring Kaushik back with you. The sooner the better...

(Talk to Ookubo Daisuke, optional): Ookubo Daisuke: I don't get how this person is supposed to look like a researcher.

(Talk to Hiroyuki, optional): Hiroyuki: What a suspicious character.

(Talk to Kaushik): Kaushik: The meaning of this totem... Hmm? Traveler? Did you have some business with me?; This is about Alrani...; Kaushik: Alrani's here? On Watatsumi Island? That's... odd. What's that girl doing here? Shouldn't she be in Liyue?; She was arrested by some soldiers...; Kaushik: What? *sigh* Of course. Coming to Watatsumi Island under the present circumstances... Of course they would suspect her.; Kaushik: Never mind that for now. Let's head over and help that reckless girl out...

(Talk to Gorou, Alrani, Hiroyuki, or Ookubo Daisuke): Kaushik: Alrani! It really is you! B—But why are you here in Inazuma? Weren't you supposed to be in Liyue?; Alrani: This... Oh, this is going to be long story, isn't it...; Gorou: Mr. Kaushik, you know Alrani?; Kaushik: Oh, you... you're General Gorou, aren't you?; Kaushik: You surmise correctly. Alrani and I are both researchers from the Akademiya.; Kaushik: After that, we left the Akademiya to conduct fieldwork for our own areas of research. I didn't think that I'd meet her here...; Gorou: But... Um, can you researchers just freely leave the Akademiya?; Kaushik: I wouldn't call it "leaving freely." Alrani and I are both Driyosh.; Kaushik: To us, wandering and learning are part of our research process, and as such, we are permitted to leave the Akademiya.; Kaushik: General Gorou, I can guarantee that Alrani is telling the truth...; Gorou: Alright, then there's no problem.; Alrani: Phew... I'm saved... Thank you so much...; Gorou: Hiroyuki, Ookubo, this matter is settled. Go attend to your own duties.; Hiroyuki: Yes, sir.; Ookubo Daisuke: Yes, sir.; Hiroyuki and Ookubo depart...; Gorou: I'm sorry, Miss Alrani. We mistook you for someone suspicious.; Gorou: That said, while we have cleared your name, your barging into Watatsumi Island like this has made no shortage of trouble for us.; Alrani: Eh? Are... Are you going to fine me? I—I don't have very much Mora on me...; Gorou: Well, since you did claim to be a fertilizer salesperson earlier, and you're a researcher to boot...; Gorou: Well, there is something you can do for us. We have a man named Iwata living here who's researching fertilizer. Miss Alrani, please lend him a hand.; Gorou: If you can help him produce some fertilizer that isn't also a public disturbance, then you're free to do search here, just like Mr. Kaushik.; Alrani: F—Fertilizer? Wait, I... I'm just...; She'll be fine!; You've got this, Alrani.; Kaushik: Alrani, this is a good opportunity to collect research material. Since you're here in Inazuma, that must mean that your thesis is still...; Alrani: Uh... Ugh...; Kaushik: You know what the standards for graduation are at the Akademiya. If you can't graduate several years in a row...; Alrani: I—I'll do it! I'll do it, alright?; Alrani: I—I've learned about the fertilizer at Mr. Vahid's... I'll get this done in one go, just you all watch!; Graduation begets character growth...; Graduation equals strong motivation...; Gorou: Well, then we'll call this a day for now. Miss Alrani, the fertilizer matter is in your hands. I've got some other matters to handle, so if you'll excuse me...; Gorou: Ah, yes. Please remind Iwata to, uh, move his fertilizer a bit further away.; Kaushik: Alright, I'll continue with my research now. If you have any questions, Alrani, just feel free to ask me.

(Talk to Iwata)

Iwata: Traveler, you're back. I've disposed of that pile of fertilizer.

Iwata: *sigh* I suppose I'll have to find another place to conduct my experiments...

Iwata: Hmm? This person is...

An assistant Gorou found you.

Alrani: Hello, I'm Alrani...

A fertilizer specialist from Sumeru.

Alrani: Hello there, I'm Alrani... Wait a moment. A fertilizer specialist?

Alrani: I... I just learned a little about them.

Alrani: Well, either way... The general they called Gorou requested that I assist you with your fertilizer research.

Alrani: It's a pleasure to be working with you from now on.

Iwata: Is that so... That's great! If we succeed, then we'll be able to plant more crops here on Watatsumi Island!

Do remember to pile the fertilizer further away.

Iwata: Eh? Oh! Oh, I get it.

Iwata: Yes, the pleasure is all mine, Miss Alrani!

Alrani: Yeah, I'll do my best.

Alrani: I'll do my best. This is for my thesis...
