Magali Cat Branches

I've heard talk of Magali Cat Branches around here. Know anything about that?

No, and in fact, I've never even heard of a plant by that name before...

Unfortunately, the name of Magali Cat Branches is nowhere to be found in my database!

Oh? Are you looking for Magali Cat Branches, too?

Hmm? Who are you?

From your clothes and belongings, one would be led to assume that your profession is that of a logger!

Ho-ho-ho. Right, you are. Though not as sprightly as I used to be.

So... If I give you the information you're after, would you mind getting Magali Cat Branches in my stead?

So you're basically saying you know where they can be found?

Wherever that tree grows, Lizzies usually makes their nests. After all, Magali Cat Branches are horribly supple and don't break easy. It's the best material for bedding.

I see... Then our best bet is to look for Lizzy nests!

Hmph. If I were a bit younger, I'd be taking on those lousy Lizzies head-on myself... All I was able to manage was to sprinkle paint on their tails to mark them...

No need to do overdo it, old man.

But if we follow the ones marked with paint, we'll be sure to end up at their nests.

That's right! He mentioned marking them!

They're very wary creatures, they are. They tend to avoid roads and try to escape the second they detect any enemy presence. Be very discreet in your pursuit.

Precautions noted! Input complete!

Then let's get going! We'll find them for sure, so just wait up for us!

Okay. I'm counting on you!

Oh, so you're here for Magali Cat Branches. I'll get things ready, so hold on a second.

*huff, huff* I did it! I managed to get paint onto to the tail of that Lizzy!

Well, like we asked you before, don't overdo it...

You're not the only one who wants branches, you know. I can't just let you do all of the heavy lifting.

You've been a huge help. We'll definitely share some of what we're able to get.

Marking complete. Confirming precautions. Our target Lizzy are very wary creatures. They tend to avoid roads. They try to escape the second they detect an enemy. We must be very discreet in our pursuit!

This is red paint. Oh wait, it might be a flower petal.

Well, Riica? Any Lizzies around here?

Negative. A compositional analysis of the area discovered no evidence of Lizzies passing through here. Unfortunately, there appears to be nothing here.

Oh, well... Let's look somewhere else.

This red paint... It looks exactly like the stuff the old man painted onto the Lizzy.

But there's no sign of any Lizzies. So that means our next step would be...

Leave this to me! I can perform compositional analyses that can track the target!

Verified: a 1.0008% shift in the local atmospheric composition compared to the expected value.

It can be surmised that a Lizzy is heading into the depths of the Karek Swampland!

All right. Let's look for further traces of it!

There's red paint here, too...

But still no sign of any Lizzies around here...?

The old man did say that they were extremely wary and don't stay in the same place for long...

I see... Then we have no choice but to keep looking. Can you check again, Riica?

Of course! Leave it to me!

Verified: a 0.013% shift in the local atmospheric composition...

The Lizzy is being cautious and heading even deeper into the swamps.

However, we appear to be a bit closer to it than we were previously!

All right. Let's move quietly and look for further traces of it!

Look! More red paint!

Which means that the Lizzy came this way, too.

Yes. But... I'm already detecting a Lizzy-like monster response in the vicinity.

It might have noticed us and started its escape. It'll probably be hard to track once it gets back to its nest.

Before it can get back... Riica!

Okay! I've already commenced measurement!

Verified: a 1.39% shift in the local atmospheric composition...!

No mistaking it! The Lizzy was just up ahead from here!

Which way is it headed?!

This way!

We have to hurry!

It's very close!

We found it! The Lizzy's nest!

All right! Apologies but we're gonna need some of the branches from that nest of yours!

Looks like a job well done, huh.

Yes! We have acquired the strongest and most pliable of Magali Cat Branches!

Looks like a job well done, huh.

Yes! We have acquired Magali Cat Branches!

That was harder than I thought it'd be...

A more formidable adversary than anticipated...

However, we at least managed to get Magali Cat Branches!

Oh, it looks like you managed to find the branches okay.

Yeah, but we couldn't have done it without your paint.

Take this. We already got all we need.

Thank you kindly.

Treasure acquisition confirmed. Mission accomplished!
