Hm...?

What's that

you have on you?

Ah, a Claw of Desert Wolf~!

You can only get one of those if you've been traveling for a long time in the desert. I guess someone like you also appreciates the beauty of my homeland.

Ahahaha~

If you've spent enough time in the Morocc desert, I'm sure you also appreciate the value of a high quality hat to beat the heat.

Tell you what. I've learned a lot studying about animals, so if you give me the right materials, I'll make you a truly great hat.

Just remember...

If you give me any equipment compounded with cards or with upgrades, any upgraded abilities and cards in those items will be lost after I make something out of them. So, please keep that in mind.

Ah...

You brought everything.

Excellent! Okay, give me some time to create the 'Drooping Cat.'

*Scratch scratch...*

*Tap tap...*

Hmm...

Those don't sound like hat-making noises...

Oh, don't worry. It's almost done.

*Swish swish...*

*Chomp chomp...*

*Chikachikachoom*

There you go. *Phew~*

Your own 'Drooping Cat' hat, powered by a scientific principle! Also, would you mind if I keep that Desert Wolf Claw? Heh heh, thanks~

Why don't I make you...

a 'Drooping Cat?'

Having a cat for a hat makes a certain sort of sense if you'll just hear me out...

At the Juno Library, I read in this issue of 'Funtime Kid Science' that all cats, whether they're wild or domesticated, are hunters that have mastered the art of saving their energy.

After investing many hours napping in the sun, they've developed the perfect position to nap in any place and in any condition: the lazy feline droop.

It's impossible for humans to even imitate this special feline skill without the inspiration from this hat!

And even if you don't manage to copy the napping cat droop, at least this'll keep the sun off the top of your head, if not out of your eyes.

The items I need are...

1 slotted Circlet,

1 Black Dyestuffs

and 300 Black Cat Doll.

I will make a Drooping Cat right away when you bring all of those items.

Excellent! Okay, give me some time to put this 'Smokie Leaf' together.

.........

*P-peeeeeeeeep*

Your own 'Smokie Leaf' hat, powered by a scientific principle! Also, would you mind if I keep that Desert Wolf Claw? Heh heh, thanks~

How about...

a 'Smokie Leaf?'

I know, I know, wearing a big ol' Leaf on top of your head sounds impractical. But, it makes a certain sort of sense if you'll just hear me out.

Do you ever notice how on a hot day, you feel a lot cooler when you wear white, but you're a lot warmer when you wear black?

After some intense thinking, and reading some 'Funtime Kid Science' magazines in Juno, I realized that the color black absorbs sunlight and heat, and that the color white reflects it.

So...

What happens if you're wearing no colors? If my *ahem* hypothesis is correct, you wouldn't feel any heat if you were invisible!

That's why I've created this Racoon Leaf, in an attempt to imitate Smokie's uncanny invisibility powers.

It...

I haven't gotten it to work the way I want to yet. But it's a big leaf! It'll offer some shade.

All I need to make this is...

600 Raccoon Leaf.

It's weird, but I need a whole lot of little leaves to make a big one.

Ah....

Excellent! Okay, give me some time to create the 'Lazy Smokie' hat.

....

*Glunk.*

Your own 'Lazy Smokie' hat, powered by a scientific principle! Also, would you mind if I keep that Desert Wolf Claw? Heh heh, thanks~

Why don't I make...

a 'Lazy Smokie?'

I know, I know, having a Racoon on your head sounds ridiculous, but it makes a certain sort of sense if you'll just hear me out.

So I learned from an issue of 'Funtime Kid Science' at Juno Library that different colors absorb or reflect sunlight.

Wearing one color makes you feel warmer, and another makes you feel cooler on a hot day.

So I was thinking...

What if I had no colors?

And, as we all know, you wear no colors if you're invisible, or when you're completely nude. I've already conducted my nudity experiment with sad and pitiable results...

So now I'm experimenting with invisibility. I've tried using a human sized Smokie Leaf to become invisible, but it didn't really work yet. So I got to thinking...

If I somehow connected a Smokie to me, would I become invisible when he becomes invisible?

I haven't been able to try it yet, because Smokies are pretty heavy and I've got to build up my neck muscles before I can strap a Smokie to my head.

So of course I need a practice Smokie to wear on my head before I'm ready for the real thing.

And that was how I invented the 'Lazy Smokie' hat.

1000 Acorn,

100 Sea-Otter Fur and

10 Raccoon Leaf.

Excellent! Okay, give me some time to create the 'Blue Fish' hat out of all this fish.

*Wataaaaa~!*

Your own 'Blue Fish' hat, powered by a scientific principle! Also, would you mind if I keep that Desert Wolf Claw? Heh heh, thanks~

Ah! I got it!

How about I make you...

a 'Blue Fish' hat?

I know putting a Fish on top of your head doesn't sound like the best idea, but it makes a certain sort of sense if you'll just hear me out.

So I was reading some issues of 'Funtime Kid Science' at the Juno Library, and read about animals that take naps under the sun when they feel really hot.

So then I thought...

Animals that don't take naps under the sun must never feel hot?

I decided to make a hat of that one perfect beast that was immune to the sun, never having to succumb its power.

I set to work immediately, listing all the animals I know that don't take naps in the sun. Then, I removed any animals from the list that I didn't like, especially the ones with really long names.

Finally, I had only three creatures on my list: the Emu, the Giraffe and the Fish.

First, I removed Emu, because everyone kept telling me I was spelling it wrong. And as everyone knows, a Giraffe hat would just look ridiculous. So, of course, I chose the Fish.

And that, my friend, was how I invented the 'Blue Fish' hat.

1 Rotten Fish,

300 Stinky Scale,

50 Sushi,

1 Fish Tail and

100 Sticky Mucus.

Oh... I see.

I'm a little disappointed, but you probably already have a nice hat to keep the sun out of your eyes. Well, if you change your mind, I'll be here.

Isn't it such

a beautiful day

today?

Beautiful...

But insanely hot.

I live here, I should know. Still, nothing can beat the Morocc sunset.

It's amazing how so many different animals can live in the desert. I've been spending some time researching the ways of animals, reading books in the Juno Library...

Trying to figure out the Animal Kingdom's secrets of dealing with the heat.

I hope you're having a good time here in Morocc. If you ever question the special abilities of animals, just think of the majestic Desert Wolf that's able to thrive in the harsh Morocc deserts.
