Suspicious Barrel

[Strange Man]

So... hun...gry...

F-food... Give me...

F-food... Must... replenish...

h-health... with... Steamed...

Crab... Nippers... Please...

It sounds like

this barrel wants

Steamed Crab Nippers.

Please... cook me...

Steamed... Crab Nippers...!

You... n-need.... 10 Green

Herbs... 1 Yellow Potions...

and 10... N-Nippers... to

c-cook th-them. Ugh...

[

Hold on,

I have to cook

them for you?!

Y-yes...

It's... It's the

o-only... possible...

Way... P-please help...

D-don't... leave...

me... Here... Th-the...

hunger...! It... It can't...

It c-can't be... d-denied!

Weirdo! Why don't you

get out of that barrel,

and get your Steamed

Crab Nippers yourself?!

Th-that... tantalizing...

scent... It's S-Steamed...

Crab... Nippers... Oh God...

It's b-been so... l-long...

G-Give me! G-Give me now!

You dumped the

Steamed Crab Nippers

into the barrel where

it was quickly devoured.

Ha ha ha!

Back in the game, baby!

Man, it's been, about what,

3 days since I last ate?

It's good to be alive!

For now, you should

tell Torpy and his mom

where Torpy's father is

hiding so they won't

worry about him so much.

Torpy's mom might want to know about

this extraordinary barrel.

How long does Torpy's father plan to stay within the barrel?

That barrel will become a symbolic object

that pays tribute to the firm will of Torpy's father

who is trying hard to avoid keeping the promise with his son to find his wife.

You hear something bustling from the hole in the barrel.

However, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
