*Sightings of large, mysterious creatures are being reported all over Crossbell. As simply calling them 'monsters' underestimates their magnitudes, they will instead be referred to as 'cryptids.'
*A monster similar to the one we fought in the old, deserted mine appeared as well, except this time, out in the open.
*Due to the recent independence proposal, the Guardian Force can't actively deal with the situation. The Special Support Section and Bracer Guild were asked to handle the cryptids in their stead.
*Specifically, we'ree to investigate their origins and exterminate them. The bracers will handle three of the five cryptids.
*That leaves us with the remaining two. One is in the general vicinity of Ursula Road, and the other is on East Crossbell Highway. We can learn more details on them in the Cryptid Investigation Report.
*Defeated the St. Ursula Road cryptid!
*Defeated the boathouse cryptid!
*Defeated both cryptids. According to Tio, however, the spatial distortion is still the same as before. She theorized that there must something else causing it. Let's comb through the area and see if we can figure anything out.
*Beautiful blue flowering grass was blooming near where the cryptid appeared. We may be able to learn something if we pick one.
*After we picked the flowering grass, another distortion occurred, and the presence of the three higher elements vanished.
*Learned of a legend within the Testaments of the Septian Church regarding 'an azure flora' with inexplicable powers. Let's visit the cathedral and ask the clergy about it.
*Arrived at the cathedral. Let's check the Sunday School classroom to start.
*Sister Marble was in the middle of a lesson. Archbishop Eralda may be able to answer our questions instead. He's waiting in his office.
*Explained how we found the flowering grass and showed it to the Archbishop, but he refused to talk. Perhaps there's some kind of taboo against it...
*Sister Ries asjed to speak with us as we were leaving. Let's follow her to the parsonage.
*Sister Ries told us the legend of the azure flora was recorded in the church's Apocrypha. It's called Pleroma Grass, and its flower is used as a raw ingredient in the manufacture of Gnosis.
*After our talk, we returned to the SSS, wrote our report, and sent it to the CGF and Bracer Guild. That should cover all of our duties regarding the cryptids for now.
