Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Tsuzura: You must be terribly bored if you have nothing better to do than stand there and watch us. How about I give you some work?
Tsuzura: My sister left to clean the cotton kerchiefs we use to polish our shells but she is slow to return.
Tsuzura: Might you go and check the shores around the eastern cove to make sure nothing has happened to her?
(Optional)
Tsuzura: My sister went to wash our cotton kerchiefs but she does not return. Please check the area around the eastern cove to make sure no ill has befallen her.

Searching for Tsuzura's sister

Tsuzura's Sister: Madam/Sir, please. I do not mean to be rude, but I have not the time to entertain anyone right now. The kerchiefs I was sent to wash were swept away by a strong gust of wind, and I must retrieve them before they are lost forever!
Tsuzura's Sister: Tsuzura sent you to look for me? <sigh> My sister has always been impatient. I must hurry. I do not want to be scolded again. Please, might you assist me in my search?
Tsuzura's Sister: I will inspect the deep seas, so can you scour the coast? Let us meet back here once we are finished.

Delivering the cotton kerchiefs to Tsuzura's sister

Tsuzura's Sister: How did your search go?
<Hand Over 3 Cotton Kerchief>
Tsuzura's Sister: One... Two... Three... That should be everything! Thank the kami! Thank you! Your keen eyes have spared my ears another long-winded lecture.
Tsuzura's Sister: I always come here to launder our kerchiefs because they become much softer when they are dried under the sun.
Tsuzura's Sister: Unfortunately, they have gotten damp, so I will have to hang them out again. If you are returning to Tamamizu, please tell my sister I will be just a bit longer.

Speaking with Tsuzura

Tsuzura: My sister lost the kerchiefs again? <sigh> Thank you for helping her gather them.
Tsuzura: Ah, you are staring again. You want to know whose shell we are polishing, I take it? This one once belonged to a venerated ancestor of ours, who was reckoned a sage among our people.
Tsuzura: Upon his death, his soul took up residence in his shell. We hang it on the gate to our village that he might continue to keep us safe.
Tsuzura: After watching over Tamamizu for a few centuries, his soul will eventually depart from this place, and he will be reborn as a kami.
Tsuzura: To thank him for his years of dedicated service, we regularly take down and polish his shell.
Tsuzura: For your help, we will ask that he also protect you. Thank you, madam/sir!
