[Chef]

You finished the job safe and sound. Thank you.

But you're still skilled to be stuck here working. How about you look for something else?

Going on an adventure to the new world would be nice, too. If it weren't for my job, I would've left long ago.

Anyway, thanks for your help. It helped a lot.

I see that you were taking care of the favor I had asked.

I am not shameless enough to tie down a young person with such potential.

I'm busy! So busy!

Adventurer, can you do me a small favor? There are things I must do right now but as you can see, I am shorthanded. What'd you say?

Think of it as a continuation of your training and please help me. I'll give you a hefty wage, so what'd you say?

[

I'm busy right now. I'll do it later.

Oh, thanks a bunch. What a relief, really!

Then Let's cut to the chase.

All people from Lasagna love kaluna milk, but do you know what It's made of? Kaluna made from well-fermented kalunyak and fresh milk.

As the recipe is simple, it takes good ingredients to come up with the best taste. So we get milk from our own cow that we raised.

I'm sure you've been to Raviol Plains. You must come from there.

Where you must go is not the guard post. If you go south straight down, you'll see crossroads. Then go straight down underneath.

That's where our cows are grazing. Grass there is fresh and clean, so the milk tastes superb.

But the Grass Fabres and Leaf Lunatics are devouring the grasses.

So please go and get rid of them. Five from each group should be enough.

You may come to me after catching all of them, or you can talk to the [shepherd] there.

Pay is same anywhere. You ready?

Do you know what the important things are when making kaluna milk? They're well-fermented kaluna and fresh milk.

Kaluna is made by a kaluna master near the south bridge. I can't tell you what exactly goes in there because It's a trade secret, but I can tell you one thing.

It's honey. Lasagna fields are covered with sweet flowers, so we can collect a lot of quality honey.

But do you know what the greatest enemy is when collecting that honey? It's the wild hornet.

They're honey-crazy creatures who are masters when it comes to collecting honey... We can't get rid of them entirely since the flowers need to be pollenated, but there's a need to control their number.

So when the time comes, we hire adventurers to hunt the wild hornets.

You should give it a try. Ten hornets Aren't too much of a burden.

You may come to me when you're done, or you may report to [Florin] who is collecting honey there.

I beg you. Please catch Roda Frogs and bring me five sticky webfeet! Without them, I can't make any pudding!

I beg you, please.

Please catch ten Roda Frogs. I always hated their slippery skin.

You may bring sticky webfeet to me if you get them, or you may take them to [Prok]. He agreed to bring them here anyway.

My strings still Aren't here. It must be those Desert Wolves again.

Hey adventurer, so what'd you say? won't you take care of those wolves and save our strings?

What are the strings?

Dried fish. They are tied one after the other on a string, so we call them strings for short. But those Desert Wolves are a headache because they constantly finish them off.

Please take care of those Desert Wolves and save our strings. They're my favorite snack. Catch ten wolves and they won't come near anymore.

You may come to me when you're done, or you may report to [Fisher] who is drying fish there.

Do you know what Pub-Oven's signature menu is?

Kaluna milk?

No, no. That's the most popular menu. What I mean is... right! Chef's specialty menu is what I meant.

It's the fish cake, there Aren't too many who ask for it. So we don't even have the ingredients in store.

So we get the ingredients immediately when there's an order.

Pub-Oven has its own special network where it receives ingredients within ten minutes. So customers don't need to wait infinitely.

But as you know, there's no such thing as ����never���� in life. Yet, we always make the effort to achieve ����never.����

And right now, that effort is being challenged.

What is going on?

You must've heard about the cave in Raviol Forest. There are unspeakable things as well as creatures that are delicious food ingredients.

You know the Trans Spores? Their ����mushroom spores���� are an essential ingredient for our fish cake.

But for some reason, they live with the basilisks, but so this is a serious problem for us.

We sent someone in a hurry to find some mushroom spores, but nothing. No news at all.

It's been 15 minutes since we sent a message but still no news. This must mean that he's probably sleeping nearby again.

I didn't want to ask that sleepyhead for help, but he was the only person who was available.

So you want me to get some mushroom spores, right?

My friend, you're quick and sensible. Yes, please get some mushroom spores.

On your way, perhaps you can beat down Trans Spore for training purposes. Catch about ten Trans Spores as well.

And why is that?

You must get used to the job so that I can make you work again!

How can you force me to say such a thing?! You're so dense! Go, get going!

You may bring them to me when you're done, or you may give them to [Sleepy meow]. Also, don't forget to kick his behinds!

Our cow...should eat lots of tasty stuff... Please take care of five Leaf Lunatics and five Grass Fabres.

You must hurry. We're almost done with the honey we have. Ten wild hornets!

Please help me make some pudding today. Catch ten Sweet Roda Frogs and bring me five sticky webfeet!

Please guard my strings. Catch ten Hunter Desert Wolves. That should be enough to keep them away from my strings.

Can we make some fish cake today? I beg you. Please don't make me send my customers home empty handed. They came after a long time for fish cakes.

Please catch ten Trans Spores and bring me five mushroom spores. Hurry!

Now our cows can have lots of tasty grasses. Thank you.

Our cows liked you very much. That's surprising because they're usually very shy.

So can you do me another favor tomorrow? Oh, no need to answer right away. Get some good rest tonight and come back tomorrow.

You took care of those wild hornets safely. Just amazing.

So amazing that I want to ask for another favor tomorrow. Florin's been having a lot of difficulties lately.

Then see you again tomorrow!

Five sticky webfeet. Perfect.

Oh, thank you! You saved me! I wish you can get a taste of the pudding made with this, but I'm so busy at the moment.

By the way, we're going to see each other again tomorrow, right?

Adventurer, I heard about your feats. Thanks to you, my strings are safe.

I must repay you for saving my strings. Thank you so much.

And can you help me again tomorrow? I want to entrust my strings with someone reliable.

Five mushroom spores. Perfect. It was wise to ask an adventurer for help.

We almost lost all our customers who wanted fish cake. Thanks a lot!

What, you're here already to help?

It's too early right now. Pushing won't solve anything.

Have a nice rest and come back again tomorrow.

You here? Right when I needed some help.

Will you help today as well?

Please guard the grasses from Grass Fabre and Leaf Lunatic. They are food for our cows.

Grass Fabre and Leaf Lunatic, five each. That should scare the rest nearby and keep them at bay.

Once you cross the south bridge, you'll see crossroads. Take the road right underneath and go straight to the Raviol Plains where the shepherd is.

You may come to me after catching all of them, or you can talk to the [shepherd].

A new day has just begun, and so will the wild hornets with their activities.

Our honey is in danger!

Please go to Raviol Forest and catch ten wild hornets.

You should go to Ravioli Forest. Please bring five sticky webfeet.

While you're there, catch ten Sweet Roda Frogs. Their population has increased too much recently.

Listen carefully, because this is the most important request.

Please keep the Hunter Desert Wolves away from my strings. Catch ten wolves and they won't go after my strings anymore.

You may come to me when you're done, or you may report to [Fisher] who is drying fish in Raviol Forest.

Good. An order for fish cake just came in.

We didn't get orders for this menu that often, so It's strange that there's so many requests. Did the word spread finally that It's good?

Anyhow, we're in a hurry down to the minute and seconds but that sleepyhead is probably sleeping again. So I hope that you, adventurer, can help us again.

Please bring five mushroom spores and catch ten Trans Spores.

You may come to me when you're done, or you may report to [Sleepy meow] who is dozing off in the forest.
