Researcher

[Kurdt]

Ah, you must be

the new assistant.

Pleased to meet you.

In all honesty, I was expecting someone with a bit more experience in the field of research, but it's understandable.

After all, we're not in the position to expect professional assistance. In any case, I believe you'll bring a new perspective to our work.

I've almost completed my project and don't need too much in the way of manpower. However, the last task I need finished is difficult.

I was thinking of using my own funds to hire an outside agency, but there's no need to do that now that you're here~

What I'd like to ask you to do is to gather materials so that I can create the 'Spirit of Fish.'

I'm not sure if I can actually produce it or not, but we can at least give this experiment a try.

Basically, you and collect things like 'Fish Scales' or Fish Tails,' basically anything you can obtain from marine life.

I don't need a

ridiculous amount of one

kind of material, I'd say about 10 of one kind of each item should work. Give or take 5...

I should mention that I also require a good variety of marine related materials. You can't conduct an experiment without different objects to test, right?

Anyway, I hope you don't run into too much trouble finding what I need for this experiment. Good luck~

Ah, you've returned.

Okay, let me check

what you brought to me. Hmm...

Ooh...

I could use these.

And these too. Oh!

You adventurers carry

a lot of things, don't you?

Ah....!

The materials you have should be enough for me to conduct my experiment. Thank you so much.

With these, I can continue my research without any problem. I'm pleasantly surprised with the job you've done.

You really were

such a great help.

Thank you so much!

Hahaha....!

Now, there may be

other researchers

who might need your help in completing their projects. Why don't you ask around to see if

they need anything?

Still, you don't seem to have enough materials for me to

complete my research

Remember, I need

a huge variety.

I'm sorry for the hassle, but do you think you could go out and collect things so that I can attempt to recreate the

'Spirit of Fish?'

Hmmm....

Funds and

manpower are

important for

research to progress.

But no amount of financing or staffing can replace the value of enthusiasm and passion in conducting research.

Some financiers are so ignorant that they think that if they throw more money and people into a project, the secrets of science will be unlocked that much faster.

But if the people doing your research are unmotivated and uninspired, you'll never get anywhere.
