==Dialogue==
;(Talk to Puca)
:Paimon: Puca, why are you here again?
:Paimon: There shouldn't be any more monsters nearby, but who knows what other dangers there might be...
:Paimon: Anyway, you shouldn't go running off on your own!
:Puca: I didn't run off, Paimon and ... I'm just looking for my token...
:Paimon: Huh? You lost your token?
:Puca: Yup... It should be somewhere around that place I usually pick rocks from...
:Paimon: Hmm... You might've dropped it when you got trapped there before.
:Puca: *sniff* Yeah, you might be right... I was too scared to care about anything else at that time...
:Puca: It's still a little scary to think about, but my token's very important... I have to find it, I just have to...
:Paimon: Hmm... Paimon thinks it'll be too dangerous if Puca goes there on her own. In that case...
:Paimon: , why don't we take a trip back there and help Puca find her token? Puca, just go home and wait for us!
: Leave it to us.
: I've been wanting to explore that place anyway.
:Puca: Thank you, and Paimon! I'll be good and wait for you at home.
;(Talk to Puca at her home)
:Puca: My token is really important... I have to find it...

;(Investigate the marked spot)
:;(Obtain and )
:Paimon: This should be Puca's token!
:Paimon: It's stuck to a really strange hunk of ore! Paimon's never seen a rock like this before...
:Paimon: It looks so pretty! Maybe it's a kind of valuable gem!
:Paimon: Let's bring it back with us, then! Puca said she often picks up rocks here, she'll definitely know what this is.
----
;(Talk to Puca)
:Paimon: Puca, we're back! We found your token.
:
:Puca: Ohh, yes, this is the one! Thank you so much!
:Paimon: We also found something else while we were looking for your token...
:
:Paimon: It's an ore we've never seen before. We thought it might be valuable, so we brought it back!
:Paimon: If Paimon remembers correctly, you often pick up pretty stones around this area, right? Have you seen any stones like this before?
:Puca: Let me see... It really is pretty! But it's not precious at all... it's just an ordinary stone...
:Puca: It's true that you won't find anything like this in other places, but they're everywhere in nearby ore veins!
:Paimon: Aw, so it's just an ordinary rock! Paimon thought it looked super valuable...
:Paimon: Seems like we can't use it for anything else. Let's just find a place to dump it...
: But if you can't find the ore elsewhere...
: But if it's unique to this region...
:Paimon: Oh, you mean we could make a fortune if we took it elsewhere and sold it?
:Paimon: You do have a point! People don't normally go mining in a Melusine village, which means they've probably never seen anything like this... Great thinking, !
:Paimon: C'mon, let's take this stone to the Court of Fontaine and show the merchants!
:Puca: If there's anything else you'd like to know about ores, come find me anytime...
:Puca: Though I don't run a gemstone workshop like my sister and don't know much about appraisals or processing...
:Puca: Compared to precious gems, I prefer collecting all kinds of unique rocks...
:Puca: I guess you can say I know the local ore veins pretty well!
:Paimon: Hehe, gotcha!
;(Talk to Puca again, optional)
:Puca: Hey there, it's you again!
:Puca: Is there anything you'd like to know about ore? You can ask me anything!
:Puca: Even though I might not have an answer...
: About precious gems...
::Puca: There's lots of beautiful and sparkly stones in the ore veins nearby, but they're nowhere as good as real gemstones...
::Puca: If I were better at finding real gemstones, maybe I could open my own gemstone workshop, just like Sluasi!
: About the uses of ore...
::Puca: Huh? I've never thought about that before... I only collect stones because they're pretty...
: I don't have any more questions.
::Puca: Hehe, thanks for coming to play with me!

;(Talk to Chesil)
:Chesil: Welcome, welcome. Our store offers the most extensive selection of precious gems in the entire Court of Fontaine. We also have a wide range of craft goods on sale.
:Chesil: Anything catch your eye? If not, I would be delighted to meet any other demands!
: We've got some mysterious ore here...
:Paimon: Yup! Since you have such an extensive inventory, you should know its value, right?
:Chesil: Oh? So you're here to trade ore?
:Chesil: Then you've come to the right person! We offer some of the best and fairest prices in Fontaine.
:Chesil: Let's see what you have here...
:
:Chesil: Whoa... Even I've never seen anything like this before...
:Chesil: The unique sheen and smooth texture... Ooh, this is no doubt a rare variety!
:Chesil: Pardon me for asking, but what exactly is this?
: No idea.
::Chesil: Is that why you're here for an appraisal?
: Uh, it's a "Paimonial Rock"!
::Paimon: Hey, don't give it weird names!
: It's Dazzling Crystalline Gold.
::Paimon: Whoa! Did you just come up with that on the spot?
::Chesil: What an impressive name! No wonder it looks so unique.
:Chesil: It's such a shame you only brought one chunk of ore...
:Chesil: If only we had a steady supply... We could forge accessories that would take Fontaine by storm.
:Paimon: (Puca mentioned these stones were everywhere near the ore veins. Maybe we should ask her...)
: We actually have a lot more of this ore.
::Chesil: Really? That's wonderful!
: The source is a trade secret.
::Chesil: Oh, naturally, of course...
::Chesil: Though as long as you have a reliable way of getting them, it's fine.
: You can find them around Elynas.
::Paimon: Hey! Why did you just tell him?
::Chesil: You got it from Elynas, huh? Yeah, people wouldn't normally go prospecting there...
:Chesil: Anyway, in addition to the ore you brought, I'm willing to purchase more ore from you to make a batch of new products.
:Chesil: I'm willing to put down an advance payment to show my sincerity — as long as you bring more ore the next time you visit.
:Chesil: What do you think? I'd say it's a pretty fair deal.
:Paimon: Hehe, Paimon thinks so too! It's a deal!
:Chesil: Perfect! Here's your payment...
:Chesil: I wonder how the accessories made from this ore will turn out... Haha, can't say I'm not looking forward to it!
:Chesil: I'll be here, waiting for your good news.
;(After the cutscene)
:Paimon: Whoa, so there really are buyers! Looking at that merchant, is it possible that they're actually really useful gems, and it's just that Puca didn't know?
:Paimon: Let's hurry up and go back! We need to ask Puca where we can find more rocks like these!
:Paimon: And maybe we can even use this opportunity to make a fortune!
