I am Pino.
You already know Leilah.
And these are Leafes, the spirits of the forest.
You'll have to forgive me if I seem a bit...brusque.
But we have been under quite a bit of duress here.
We have seen strange behavior out of several forest
creatures since those stones started falling.
I thank you for protecting Leilah, but I must enforce
our law that forbids hoomins in our village.
申し訳ないのですが‥‥。
It is a sacred oath made in the name of the Goddess
between the forest dwellers and the hoomin race...
Call it whatever you will.
We did not create our land. Yet we strive to respect
it so that we may live in it each and every day.
Or put another way, hoomins stay out of our village,
and we stay away from hoomins. Got it?
Of course not! Don't be ridiculous.
We forest dwellers reside with the spirits. We are but
half hoomin and half Other.
I have never heard our chief speak of any type of
Goddess Treasure.
*Famous last words...*
No. I'm sorry. I forbid it.
Leilah, these hoomins shouldn't even be here! What
kind of trouble do you think we'd get in if we took—
I understand that. But that doesn't change the
sacred oath made many generations ago.
*sigh* No matter how hard I try to look out for her
well-being...this is how I get repaid.
I apologize for any promises my sister may have
made to you, but as her guardian...
I cannot allow any of this. Again, I thank you, but
we shall have no more to do with unproven hoomins.
Nothing. It's just...a condition of the ancient
agreement. It's a figure of speech.
Ha ha ha! This butterfly speaks of hoomin concepts
in a most humorous manner.
Have you ever performed in front of an audience
where you're from?
I've just never seen markings such as the ones on
your wings. I'm a bit of a butterfly aficionado.
I see. Well, you have earned the courtesy of resting
here for a bit to gather your strength.
However, after that, I'm afraid I must escort you
from Elderwood Village.
Hoomins are strictly forbidden from being in
Elderwood Village. Period.
Duly noted. We shall discuss butterflies at the next
village council meeting.
Let me know when you're ready to leave, and I shall
lift the seal upon the entrance.
Ready to leave?
[Choice: Let's go / ,,Just a bit longer...]
Then I shall escort you to the exit.
I shall continue to wait on you.
There. You should be able to pass.
I truly am grateful to you for rescuing my little sister.
Please know that.
Safe travels.
A hoomin woman from Castele...?
Occasionally, we get a lost hoomin wandering
across our borders, but not as far as I know...
Wait a sec. Now that I think of it, I do remember
a hoomin lady who used to visit when I was little.
Back when there were many other children of the
forest. That was before they all went away...
Actually, you do kind of remind me a little of that
lady. Something about the cheeks...
A letter...from whom?
Queen Ophelia?
Hmm...
This letter is intended for The Great Spirit herself.
I shall deliver it to her personally.
Incidentally...I should tell you that the name of Lady
Ophelia is not unknown to me...
What's wrong?
Where is she?! Out of my way!
What happened?!
I can barely feel her pulse. She's not just... It's
almost as if she's under some sort of spell.
What do you mean?!
Being half Other, it is possible that we could be
affected by the Doomstone.
...Although hoomins are not.
What am I supposed to do? I don't know of a forest
medicine that will cure this! Help me save my sister!
You talk too much, just like hoomins, butterfly! What
is it?!
The shadows are spreading across her body!
Can you really save my sister?
Please...
I'll show you two where the Doomstone landed.
Let's go! Quickly now!
What are you hoomins doing sneaking around here?
Well then, what do we do?! We can't just give up!
They could only be...goddesses.
You're right. What was I thinking? They're obviously
totally normal and not of any supernatural origin.
Let's just do what she says, and do it quickly.
There it is!
Do you feel some sort of crackling of energy?
Almost as if the air is alive?
That's it! I'm going in!
I thought it'd be bigger.
Hold on, Leilah!
Please. Can you use them to save Leilah?
Thank you!
Leilah! Are you OK?
Sister Leilah, I was so worried...
[Player]! Yuelia! Laura!
The Great Spirit has spoken.
She wishes to meet with you.
Yes, well...I may have been a bit rash in my judgment.
The Great Spirit read your letter, though.
She has decided to deem you all worthy. And
proven, I suppose.
The forest dwellers have had a...special agreement
with certain members of the royal family of Castele.
According to The Great Spirit, you, Laura, are one
of their direct descendants.
The Great Spirit waits within. When you are ready,
please make your way to see her.
The Great Spirit waits within.
I have brought our guests, O Great Spirit.
Great Spirit...your hoomin voice, please.
Much better.
But there are others here. Like Leilah and myself.
I'll guide you up the Spirit Tree. It's easy to get lost.
You two might as well come too.
Nonsense. You two helped save my sister...even if
you didn't mean to. Please come.
There it is...
The entry is open. You may enter at your leisure.
...Joy.
Hughes headed off to the ship.
Please visit us again. I know Leilah would like to see
you again. And...I wouldn't mind so much either.

You've brought us a greater understanding of the
world we often take for granted, Yuelia.
I'd like to raise a motion that we file a complaint with
Yuelia's father, Reveria's creator.
We live here. This is our world. We'll be very...
inconvenienced if Reveria is destroyed, right?
I propose we go speak with this...y'know, this god,
and tell him how we feel about Reveria.
Perhaps if we show him we're making an effort, he
will be able to help us.
Sure. I do not know if that ship will work, however.
The spirits of the forest...third that.
Call us anytime. We're good with our hands.
Hrm... Well, I suppose not. The Great Spirit has
accepted you, so I shall as well.
I can ask the Leafes to help too. After all, hoomins,
spirits, half-monsters, and others...
all must work together toward this common goal.
I can't believe I'm saying this.
We must save Reveria!
Thank you for doing so much for Reveria! The Great
Spirit will certainly be grateful.

Best of luck to you all.
I hope they can still make it!
Take care. You are always welcome back here in the
Elderwood. Really!

Ah, good to see you two!
I was hoping I would get to speak with you before
the summit.
Yes. Unfortunately, The Great Spirit is unable to leave
the forest for...logistical reasons.
Well, through learning to trust you two and your
band of acquaintances...
I realized perhaps hoomins aren't all bad.
However, it may also be true that you two represent
the exception, rather than the rule.
Well, we creatures of the forest have long been
separated from hoomins, you see...
I just don't know. Perhaps it is time for us to become
united as one Reveria.
I don't know if the hoomins and our spirits are
really ready for this.
Many of the forest spirits are deeply afraid and
distrustful of hoomins.
And I'm sure such feelings would go the other way
as well...if hoomins knew we existed.
I have traveled quite a bit across this land. I have
spent a goodly amount of time in each kingdom.
And I cannot say that everything I saw was a
complete vision of peace and bliss.
I witnessed petty fights between pirates and the
young governor in Port Puerto.
In Al Maajik, I saw a royal family that seemed to
isolate their child in the name of enacting revenge.
There I also witnessed dim-witted, would-be heroes
blindly hoping for glory as they shook like cowards.
Can you truly say these hoomins would not destroy
the peace of the forest given the chance?
I should have suspected that beneath everything,
there was a good nature lying in wait.
I do not doubt your words, but I must confess...my
own questions come from my fear.
I trust that most hoomins mean well, and yet I am
still apprehensive about having contact with them.
But I must remind myself...it is only my own fear. And
this is the fear that separates and divides.
I must be strong for the sake of the forest...and for
the sake of Reveria.
Forgive me for expressing my unfair judgment. I
don't want that to be your impression of me.
[Player], I have something to request of you,
if you would be kind enough to hear it...
Would you consider allowing me to accompany you
on your travels sometime?
The world I saw when traveling alone did nothing
but fill me with concern.
However, I have a feeling that if I travel with you,
perhaps you could show me a different perspective.
I look forward to seeing the world as you do.

If you'd like, we can show you around the forest.
I'm sure all the Leafes here would like to meet you.
So there is a place like the Elderwood on Origin
Island too?
...Hot springs? Well, they're rather mild here, but
after a harsh winter, it feels kind of hot.
Grace, we would love to meet your grandfather. And
we would like to give you a memento of your visit.
Erm...sorry, Yuelia. It's just for Grace.

Hello! You're back! And who's your new friend?
Chat 11
Welcome. Please relax and enjoy yourselves.
I was once vehemently opposed to allowing hoomins
into our village. It seems so foolish now...
I shall warn the forest animals to stay away from the
Goddess Ship. We guarantee its safety.
It's hard to believe that such a large thing can really
fly through the sky...
Pierre and his friends have really taken a shine to our
village. I hope they enjoy themselves here...
I don't know if it's just my imagination. I feel like...
a dark cover over the forest has been lifted...
As if we are no longer hiding in the shadows, but
now living under the open sun...with the hoomins.
Fear and prejudice can be overcome just by getting
to know one another. A beautiful thing, is it not?
We shall continue our lives here in the deep forest,
watching over the spirits just as we always have.
Well met, [Player]. The Elderwood is peaceful
again today.
Truly, there is an unusual scent on the air. Unusual...
yet not unpleasant. It smells like a new beginning!
I took Leilah to Origin Island recently. I am truly glad
I did. She enjoyed herself quite a bit.
You know that hot spring on Origin Island? Gazing at
the night sky while in steaming hot water is amazing!
