Lyse 	Of course! Soroban said he was a Kojin of the Blue, didn't he?
 	
Alisaie 	Perhaps Soroban can help us convince his brethren to aid us somehow. We may as well ask him, don't you think?
 	
Soroban 	So tell me, my friends─what strange tides bear you to our home?
Soroban 	That is indeed a most dire predicament...but perhaps an opportunity for us to craft yet another profitable arrangement!
Soroban 	Very well. I shall introduce you to our leader, Bunchin. It will be up to you, however, to present your case.
 	
Lyse 	Um, should we bow when we meet the elder? I know that's the sort of thing they usually do in the Far East, but does that extend to turtle people living under the sea? Oh, why must diplomacy be so complicated...
 	
Alisaie 	The center of the village lies further below. I still have so many questions, but they will have to wait. The elder awaits.
 	
Soroban 	I present to you the honored elder Bunchin.
(...You should probably refrain from addressing him by name. He does not much care for it.)
 	
Lyse 	Whatever it is we've got to do, we'll do it, right? I mean, what other choice do we have?
 	
Alisaie 	A thousand thousand gods, found within the great and the small... Rather different from Eorzea and her Twelve, but I have heard of stranger things. In some lands, for instance, men refuse to acknowledge the existence of all but a single god!
 	
Bunchin 	May this bargain be the first of many between our peoples.
 	
Soroban 	Listen well, my friends. We require your assistance with the search for a priceless treasure: the Yasakani–no–Magatama.
Soroban 	This jewel, this most sacred of Kojin relics, was in the possession of Hingashi─until they decided to present it to the Garleans in a gesture of conciliation.
Soroban 	The Red would not abide this, and so they plotted to seize the vessel bearing it to their imperial masters. Alas, though they succeeded, in the ensuing chaos the Magatama was lost to the sea.
Soroban 	We wish to recover the sacred jewel before our brothers. However, were we to come into conflict with them, it would be...problematic. Therefore, we turn to you.
Lyse 	So you want us to search the ocean floor for this treasure of yours? I'm not sure how we're supposed to do that without, you know...
Soroban 	Drowning? Fear not. There is a ritual I can perform to imbue your bodies with a powerful blessing. But first, you must prepare offerings for the sea.
Soroban 	I require twisted ruby coral, several fist-sized sea snail shells, and a freshly harvested unkiu carapace.
Alisaie 	That's quite the shopping list. I will see to the shells, and Lyse can look for the coral. [Player Name], would you go and find an unkiu and relieve it of its carapace?
 	
Lyse 	I think I see some ruby coral over there. It's a bit far, but I can swim for it.
 	
Alisaie 	How quick my dearest brother was to boast of his firewood gathering techniques. If only he were here to gather these shells in my stead...
 	
Soroban 	Do take care when killing the unkiu not to damage its carapace too much!
 	
Soroban 	Well? Have you the unkiu carapace?
Soroban 	How splendid they are! The kami shall be most pleased, I am sure.
Lyse 	I got it! I got the ruby coral you wanted!
Alisaie 	And I the sea snail shells. They're about the size of my fist, though I realize now you may have meant yours...
Soroban 	These shall more than suffice for our purpose. Next, we must make ready to present them to the sea and perform the ritual.
Soroban 	Once it has been completed, you will be able to move freely through the depths and find the Yasakani–no–Magatama!
Alisaie 	...Out of curiosity, how large is this sacred jewel of yours? Unless it's far too large to be carried by the three of us, how are we supposed to even find it? The Ruby Sea is not exactly small.
Soroban 	Hah hah hah! Surely you realize we have been searching this whole time? The area we wish you to explore is but a small fraction of the Ruby Sea.
Soroban 	Already have we scoured most of the seabed near and within our territory, to no avail. All that remains is a region to the west.
Soroban 	The shell-less of Sui–no–Sato can provide you with better guidance than we. You would do well to visit them first.
Lyse 	Shell-less? You mean the Kojin aren't the only ones living under the sea?
Soroban 	Of course not! The Raen have been here as long as I can remember. Shiosai, the...overseer, I believe, can tell you more when you arrive.
Soroban 	But we are getting ahead of ourselves. We have yet to carry out the ritual!
