When reach there, Luther ask if Envoy want to have some business trade with him but Envoy reply by introduce themself and mention about Starlight Treasure Chest while also tell what Sheila had said before. Luther state that he doesn't possess it, instead the Mayor of Helonia possess the chest. He understand Envoy feel but right now Madeline, Mayor of Helonia's hands are full with Pirates demand for protection tribute and if the request are not comply, Helonia will suffer. As the deadline come close, only half of requirement goods are settled while Mayor are scrambling to solve the crisis.
Even so, he urge Envoy to talk to her despite he know that Madeline will simply say no.

Since nothing else can do, Envoy leave her and return to Luther where he know Envoy's feeling right now. Despite that, he kept his word and he will help Envoy out to get the trust of the Coast before going for the chest. Since protection money issue is pressuring the Mayor, helping her will also make her able to help Envoy later.
===Deadline for Catseye tribute approaches===
Luther mention about Selena where he seems nervous everytime he talk about her. Eidolon assume that Selena was a monster but Luther's answer said otherwise that he has a crush on Selena and he want Envoy to collect Fruit which was Selena's favorite taste. Envoy seek information from Madeline and the problem seems insurmountable not only they have severe shortage but they also had problems with Tanuki with their incessant fighting. After collecting the fruit, Madeline seems surprised to see Envoy able to collect pile of fruit in short time but Beebis snatch one of it and gulps it down and Eidolon takes the fruit away before Beebis can snatch more. Madeline still feel puzzled and ask Envoy where the fruit came from and Envoy replied that they got the fruit under Luther's reccomendation. She praise Luther but not so much on Selena despite she's still half mature so Madeline won't worry about her so much.
Envoy ask her if they can help her and she talk about Selena that they had arguments and since she left Madeline never get news from her. What bothers her now is about Tanuki that keep squawk and squeak constantly, giving her headache and migraine much. She will consider Envoy's demand but right now she have to deal with pirates first and she reccomend Envoy to ask Luther if they need something. After defeating Tanuki, Envoy went to Luther and explain what Mayor has just said which impressed him much. He said that once the supplies is settled, he will look for Selena but now at least Madeline will have quiet time to think. Envoy ask why the townsfolk didn't want to fight and Luther state that they want to live peace and if they can solve the problem with money, they will do it but only few resist such as Brendan, a young fisherman. Envoy need to meet Isaac in order to convince Brendan.
Isaac as the older brother worries about Brendan since his refusal could provoke pirates. He doesn't want to listen to his own brother and there will be always more fish to catch, some trout are not worth his life, he just doesn't understand the situation right now. When Envoy gets there, Braeden still doesn't want to give a single dime to the pirates as he refused to be threatened by the likes of them. After Envoy convince him, he change his mind but he still want to find a way to defeat them.
===Plan to defeat Catseye Pirates===
Braeden want Envoy to collect some materials and hard fruit while also clearing the shores out from inhabitants to smoothen the operation. After the materials are gathered and the inhabitants are defeated, he start to dry the fruit in order to fill it with gunpowder. He already considered the place where he can defeat them and the beach was the most suitable place for it. Next, Braeden assign Envoy to gather some waterproof paint that gain specifically from Forest Beetle by collecting their goo. Since the mist and the fog are thick around the coast, the plan will be failed if the bombs was not waterproof. While collecting goo, Envoy also need secretions from beetle to keep gunpowder dry.
After collecting it, Envoy also lend Braeden hand through applying the waterproof paint to the bomb shell while also giving the flyers to the townsfolk. The reactions seems good enough on the townsfolk as some are willing to take up arms to fight the pirates but some also doesn't want to fight the pirates. Envoy report to Isaac and it seems Isaac manage to fish a secret stone when going fishing earlier. After handling the errands, Envoy was tasked to capture the parrot and collect Thin Vines. After all of them are collected Envoy give the Thin Vines to Isaac while Parrots to Braeden as he realize that he is forgetting something. After everything is set, he gave a cart of supplies to Madeline and she was relieved that everything was there.
When the pirates come and check the belongings but he said that it doesn't met their requirements as Bluto suddenly increase the tribute by 20%. Envoy decide to interfere and manage to disarm Pirate's weapon but when it happened he state that everyone on Helonia Coast will be dead if they don't have it all when the deadline reached.

Envoy then travel to Bella's Orchard and upon reaching there, Envoy quickly explain why they are deployed here by Madeline but Bella herself have a tough time since the harvest season is very poor while Vance doesn't want to tell the alchemist whereabout since villains may use him to gain advantage. Feeling lost, Envoy was called by Donny who turns out he is the son of Bella and Vance.
Donny told that the Fruit Bettles ransacking the trees and Vance try to drive them away but nothing worked so well. He works on orchard for days on end and doesn't have time for Bella and Donny. He want to help but his father doesn't want him to involve in it and he let Envoy do the job for him. After driving the beetles, Envoy return to Bella and she was surprised that how did Envoy know and it turns out Donny was the one who requested Envoy to do so much to her disbelief that he ask total stranger to do something dangerous. She feel grateful however and Envoy lend a hand to assist Vance driving Tanuki away from her crops, After driving them out, Bella was impressed again and she finally relieved that they are be able to harvest again for now. She will discuss the matter with her husband Vance while she ask Envoy to check the perimeter around the Orchards.

While eating, he was convinced that Bella and Vance trusts Envoy and Perry decide to aid Envoy but only limited to producing gold.
