;(On obtaining quest)
:Paimon: Hmm, Paimon's wondering... How's Fujin coming along in her recovery?
:Paimon: Paimon recalls when she left Chiwang Terrace before, she made use of some sort of jade stone, and then, "woosh," she was gone, fins, tail, and all...
:Paimon: If we've got some time to spare, why not go back and have a look? Paimon's a bit worried about how she's doing...
;(While approaching Lingyuan)
:Paimon: Eh? Then that's...
;(Talk to Lingyuan)
:Lingyuan: and Paimon. You're here.
:Paimon: Huh? Lingyuan? Why are you over here?
:Lingyuan: Because I can't get in.
:Paimon: Can't get in? Uh, where can't you get into?
:Lingyuan: Carp's Rest. Where Fujin is resting.
:Paimon: Carp's Rest... Oh! You mean the place Fujin dragged us off to way back when?
:Lingyuan: It is an abode sealed by her adeptal energy. I don't have her adeptal energy. Thus, I cannot go to her.
:Paimon: Huh? But you didn't mention anything before she went back to rest...
:Lingyuan: It escaped my mind.
: Do you need help?
::Lingyuan: The adeptal energy you possess is sufficient to open the gate of Carp's Rest. So yes, I need your help.
: Bit late now, Bluey.
::Paimon: Yeah, how could you forget something as important as that!? Really, now.
::Lingyuan: It is because I am a slow-witted beast. Seeing her, I think of many things, and forget many things. It is my fault.
::Lingyuan: The adeptal energy you possess is sufficient to open the gate of Carp's Rest. So yes, I need your help.
:Paimon: Huh? Wait a sec, so you've been waiting here for us this whole time?
:Lingyuan: I was not waiting for you. I was looking for a way into Carp's Rest.
:Paimon: That seems like pretty much the same thing to... Uh, anyway, we're a bit worried about Fujin's condition too, so why don't we go see her together?
:Lingyuan: Fine. Thank you both.
:Lingyuan: Follow me.
;(After opening the barrier)
:Lingyuan: This is the place. The door is open. Just go on forward.
:Paimon: Hmm, now that you mention it, when she brought us here before, we could never open this seal...
:Lingyuan: Power requires familiarity. Her power is no exception.
;(Approach the Votive Rainjade)
:Fujin's Voice: Huh? , Paimon, and Lingyuan... Why did you all come here?
:Paimon: Whoa, that's Fujin's voice! And it's... coming from down below?
: I'm a little worried about you.
::Paimon: Yeah! We're all worried about your health, so we just came here without giving you a heads up — you did the same thing to us first, so Paimon thinks we're square now!
: Lingyuan is a little worried about you.
::Lingyuan: I am not. I just...
::Lingyuan: ...
::Paimon: Yeah! Lingyuan's been so worried about your health that she can barely speak, so we just came here without giving you a heads up — but you did the same thing to us first, so Paimon thinks we're square now!
:Fujin's Voice: Huh? Ah! Sorry! When I returned here to rest, I think I forgot to unlock the entrance...! I am so sorry. You came here to see me, but I made things harder for you instead...
:Paimon: Oh, it wasn't much of a hassle! But why are you... uh, hiding in a puddle?
:Fujin's Voice: Hmm, how should I put it...? Because I can't return to the form I prefer yet, and with you guys always seeing me in my Carp form, I can't help but feel a bit... embarrassed...
: You are aware that we've already seen it many, many times, right?
: So there's no need to hide yourself, is there?
:Fujin's Voice: Ahaha... But before, I could turn back into human form whenever I wanted, so I thought moving around as a Carp was just a matter of convenience. But now, all I have is this slick and slippery self, so I find it a bit...
:Paimon: Whoa, that's a bit of a strange thing to be so insistent about... But anyway, all that matters is that you're okay!
:Paimon: But Lingyuan said that your adeptal energy wasn't consumed, it was just dispersed around the mountains, forests, and rivers of Chenyu Vale, and that's why you've been weakened so much...
:Paimon: So if we were to collect the scattered adeptal energy, just like when we were finding the Golden Carp in Yaodie Valley, then you'd get better, right?
:Fujin's Voice: Yes... At least, in theory, that's correct, but...
:Paimon: Right, right? So if we see similar Carp, we should just bring them back here! That way, you'll recover much faster!
:Fujin's Voice: Th—That would be far too much trouble for you! My power is not yet that feeble. if I simply rest here for some time, it will be enough...
: It's not that much of a hassle...
:: ...We'll just keep our eyes peeled if we run into any.
:Fujin's Voice: Thank you, then. However, I really don't want to trouble you anymore on my behalf. You've already done so much for me.
:Fujin's Voice: If the two of you should happen to find any more adeptal energy during your travels, please simply transfer it into the jade here.
:Fujin's Voice: Though balance has been restored to the water and soil, if we can add more power to the Rainjade, we can ensure favorable weather and prosperous years to come.
:Lingyuan: ...And what about you?
:Fujin's Voice: Really now! I already told you, all I need to do is rest here for a bit!
:Fujin's Voice: , Paimon, I really am quite grateful, and quite happy, that you came to visit me. This is the first time anyone has come here since Herblord left.
:Fujin's Voice: And thank you as well, Lingyuan.
:Lingyuan: I have done nothing worthy of your thanks.
:Fujin's Voice: Alright, enough of that! Then just think of it as me thanking you for bringing and Paimon here! Really, now...
:Fujin's Voice: And lastly... Let me say thank you once more, and Paimon. For all you have done.
==Post-Quest Dialogue==
;(Talk to Lingyuan again after quest ends, optional)
:Paimon: Speaking of which, this should be your abode, right, Fujin? It feels a bit different from the other adeptal abodes we've been in... How should Paimon put it... it feels more... pragmatic?
:Paimon: There are no weird mechanisms or transparent floating bridges...
:Fujin's Voice: I am very sorry... I was just too embarrassed before, and so never explained clearly.
:Fujin's Voice: I cannot create new adeptal realms like the adepti of the south. "Carp's Rest" is no "abode." At best, it's just a "cave"...
:Paimon: Cave, realm, whatever! They're all "abodes" where adepti live, aren't they? Still, we don't even know when you can turn back into your human form...
:Lingyuan: All the power she accumulated has dispersed across this land. She will be unable to revert to human form for some time.
:Lingyuan: I am the same way when I've exhausted my power. After Master died, the snow fell, melted, and then it fell once more after melting, and did so countless times before I could regain human form.
:Paimon: Oh, so that's it... huh? Wait a sec, Lingyuan, you can turn into a person too!?
:Fujin's Voice: Why, of course! There is much you two know not! Why, back then, on Mt. Yaojun, Lingyuan's looks were—
:Lingyuan: Fujin. No need to speak of such things. It has nothing to do with the present topic.
:Fujin's Voice: Eh? So, the whole thing about eating too many teacakes at the temple fair in human form, and crying to Herblord about brewing weight-loss tea...
:Fujin's Voice: Or the incident where you accidentally drank the celebratory libations and hauled forest boars in to ask them "Who's prettier, me or Herblord?"... Ah! But I needn't speak of such things after all, do I?
:Lingyuan: ...Fujin!
:Paimon: Wow! After all that, Paimon's getting curious. What does your human form look like, Lingyuan? Would you be as blue as you are now? Or would you be... Uh, a slightly lighter shade?
: Now I'm curious too!
::Lingyuan: I do not understand your curiosity. You are people too. If you are interested in human forms, just look at yourselves.
: Lingyuan, could you turn human, just for a second?
::Lingyuan: I refuse. Human bodies are weak. They lack fangs to rend and rip prey, and claws to hound and hunt enemies. I would not do such a thing unless commanded to by Fujin.
:: A shame...
:: We'll leave this to you, Fujin!
:::Fujin's Voice: ...Eh? R—Really? I—In that case, I think maybe we should just respect Lingyuan's wishes...?
:::Lingyuan: I do not have any wishes. If you have some, tell me so directly.
:Fujin's Voice: Hehe... Anyway, thank you, and Paimon. I never imagined the day would come when I would be able to talk to others like this...
:Fujin's Voice: *cough*— As one has found oneself in such a joyous state of mind, one is willing to bestow protection upon you two for your journey, guaranteeing success and great fortune...
:Paimon: ?
:Fujin's Voice: ...Sorry, I got a bit carried away. I wanted to try being like those adepti, so I thought I'd try out a phrase or two...
:Fujin's Voice: Anyway! I'll be staying here and praying for your journey to go smoothly.
