Hinageshi 	I do wonder what culture we shall be examining next. Knowing even the moon is inhabitable, the possibilities seem endless.
 	
Tankin 	I bear good tidings─permission has been granted for our voyage.
Tankin 	I decided it was about time we went and experienced other cultures firsthand rather than recreate them here in our workshop.
Hinageshi 	A fabulous idea, indeed! Wherever are we going, Professor?
Tankin 	Hingashi. Kugane, to be specific.
Hinageshi 	Oh, how wonderful!
Tankin 	Though our journey has been approved, we cannot afford to tarry. We have been granted but a short amount of time to stay there, you see.
Tankin 	Are you, perchance, knowledgeable of the Far East?
Tankin 	In that case, could we ask you to act as our guide?
Tankin 	You have my thanks.
Tankin 	We should arrive at Pier #2 when we reach Kugane. Pray meet us there when you are ready.
 	
Tankin 	Would that we could travel via aetherytes. Mayhap then we would have more time for research. Alas...
Hinageshi 	I can scarcely believe it. Our first holid─I mean, our first research trip together!
 	
Tankin 	We braved the experimental aetheryte, and came via Radz–at–Han. Much to our delight and surprise both, they were renting local attire, and I was not about to pass up the opportunity to dress in authentic Hingan garb.
Hinageshi 	I still cannot quite believe I am here in this foreign land with the professor!
Tankin 	Now, where is Kugane Castle...?
Tankin 	Wherever it is, it does not seem to be visible from here. Would you happen to know a better place to take in its splendor?
Tankin 	Wait just a moment. Are mere tourists such as ourselves allowed on the roof of said establishment? I enjoy fine views as much as anyone, but I would rather avoid becoming a criminal...
Tankin 	Perhaps Tasogare Bridge would be the better option. If I am not mistaken, it should be close by. Shall we have a look from there?
Tankin 	Tasogare. I rather like the sound of that. Very well, show us the way.
Tankin 	A fortress most formidable. This may be an island like Sharlayan, but it is quite clear our cultures are as night and day.
Tankin 	However, one must keep in mind that Kugane is unlikely to be a true representation of life in Hingashi.
Tankin 	After all, this port town is but a tiny part of a larger region, and sadly the only section of it open to the wider world.
Tankin 	If we are to get a truly accurate picture, we must speak with the locals.
Tankin 	Speaking of which, this place is surprisingly peaceful considering recent events.
Tankin 	The ruling class doubtless controls what information is allowed into the area. Which begs the question: how much is known by those here regarding affairs in the rest of the world? Perhaps they are convinced they are strong enough to weather any storm alone...
Tankin 	At any rate, our work here is certain to prove a most enlightening experience. Already am I glad for this trip.
Hinageshi 	Ahem, Professor. If possible, I would very much like to visit the Umineko Teahouse and sample their dango. I have heard very good things!
Tankin 	Hinageshi... Do not forget why we are here. We are researchers, not tourists. You would do well to remember that.
Hinageshi 	My apologies, Professor...
Tankin 	Forgive me, I did not mean to upset you. I fear the long journey has left me on edge. Kugane does indeed thrive on tourism, and you are not wrong to deem that aspect of their culture worthy of investigation.
Hinageshi 	You are too kind, Professor.
Tankin 	Now, let us pay a visit to Pier #1 and take in the storehouses, then make our way to Kokajiya.
 	
Tankin 	Ah, such heat. Greater, perhaps, even than the Garlean heaters. It is an honor to witness the forging of Kugane's world-famous katana blades.
Tankin 	Ah, but we mustn't forget why we are come here. I suppose now it is Hinageshi's turn to rebuke me.
Tankin 	...Hinageshi? Where could she have gone?
Tankin 	I was so entranced by the sights and sounds of the city, I cannot rightly say when last I saw her.
Tankin 	Let us split up and search for her. If you would check the Ijin District, I will search on Kogane Dori.
 	
Sekiseigumi blade	A woman lost on the streets, you say?
Sekiseigumi blade	A tourist would have no cause to come this way. You would be better served searching near the gates of Kugane Castle. Much of the city can be seen from there.
Sekiseigumi blade	Now, if you will excuse me.
 	
Tankin 	Hinageshi! <pant> <pant> We've found you at last!
Hinageshi 	Professor! Oh, thank goodness.
Hinageshi 	I thought if I waited here long enough, you would come eventually.
Tankin 	Yes, we did plan on visiting the castle, didn't we? I should have expected you would memorize our itinerary.
Tankin 	But what happened? I could have sworn you were right behind me.
Hinageshi 	Well, I was approached by a merchant on Kogane Dori whilst we were making for Pier #1. I stopped to say I was not interested, and when I turned around you were nowhere to be seen...
Hinageshi 	I should not have been so careless. You did warn me not to behave as a tourist, after all...
Tankin 	No, I should have been more attentive. When engrossed in my work, my surroundings all but fade away.
Tankin 	The thought of you lost, wandering aimlessly through the streets of Kugane... My heart was fit to burst.
Tankin 	But to see you here, safe and sound... Words fail to express my relief. I can only imagine the distress I've caused you.
Hinageshi 	Oh, Professor. I...
Tankin 	What can I do to comfort her?
Tankin 	That's it!
Tankin 	Terribly sorry to ask this of you, but I wish to fashion a hairpin for Hinageshi to lift her spirits. Might I trouble you to procure the necessary materials?
Tankin 	The Ruby Sea is said to be a treasure trove of resources. Perhaps you can find something there along the shore or beneath the waves.
Tankin 	Thank you. I would be fool to leave her alone, so I will wait with her here until you return.
 	
Hinageshi 	I am terribly sorry for all this. Our stay was meant to be a short one, and yet I have wasted so much of your time...
 	
Tankin 	They say the Ruby Sea is a treasure trove of natural resources. I am certain you can find what I need there.
 	
Tankin 	Absolutely stunning!
Tankin 	I shall waste no time in taking this to a craftsman. Pray keep Hinageshi company here while I am gone.
Hinageshi 	Where do you suppose the professor has run off to? <sigh> I suppose it doesn't matter. I would only prove a hindrance were I to accompany him further.
Tankin 	My apologies for disappearing like that. I went on a little errand to have this made for you, Hinageshi.
Hinageshi 	Wait. The flower on this hairpin is...
Tankin 	Nothing gets past you! Indeed, it is the flower the locals here know as a “hinageshi.” I thought it would be a shame were we to return home from our travels empty-handed.
Tankin 	I...hope it is to your liking.
Hinageshi 	It's perfect...
Hinageshi 	Thank you, Professor! I shall treasure it for all my days!
Tankin 	Strange... These excursions to other lands are always a rather stressful ordeal. With Hinageshi here, though, things are...different.
Tankin 	Ahem. But this is no time for self-reflection! We must needs survey the rest of the town posthaste. Let us make for the Rakuza District, followed by the Bokairo Inn.
Tankin 	Ah, but wait. Before all that, we must pay a visit to the Umineko Teahouse to sample their finest dango and tea.
Hinageshi 	Thank you, Professor. I can hardly wait!
 	
Hinageshi 	I just had the most wonderful time chatting with the patrons of the hot springs.
 	
Tankin 	The springs were exquisite, though it was the view that took my breath away.
Tankin 	I yet struggle to believe that on the other side of this ocean lies Doma, and the Azim Steppe, my ancestral home.
Tankin 	How I would love to travel there just once, to see how the nomads live firsthand.
Hinageshi 	You will, Professor. Someday. And I shall be by your side when we do!
Tankin 	I should like that very much.
Tankin 	...Alas, the time has come for us to return to Sharlayan.
Tankin 	Pray stop by Searchers' Meet once you've returned. I would see you compensated for your work here.
 	
Tankin 	A most fruitful trip indeed. However, I am yet mystified by the feelings of warmth and comfort I found there in Kugane. If I could somehow get to the bottom of that, I am certain it would benefit our research greatly.
 	
Hinageshi 	Ah, it is good to be home. Traveling is lovely, of course, but best enjoyed in moderation like all good things.
Hinageshi 	I should hope you have some place to call home as well?
Hinageshi 	Then I would bid you return there, and take a well-deserved rest. I will be in touch again once we are ready to resume our work.
Quest complete. 	Quest complete.
