;(Talk to Smiley Yanxiao)
:Smiley Yanxiao: I have to hurry...
: Is business that good?
:Smiley Yanxiao: No. But it's the Lantern Rite now. Lots of people have headed back to the city to spend the festive period there, so we're short-staffed. I'm basically doing everything myself.
:Smiley Yanxiao: We're not getting too many guests, though, so things aren't too bad. I can still handle it.
:Smiley Yanxiao: *cough* Also, I should thank you for helping me previously. If it hadn't been for your help, I don't think I'd ever have been able to return to work...
: Ah. So recently...
: So, has she...
:Smiley Yanxiao: N—No! Definitely not, believe me! I—If she were to show up again, I d—don't know if my heart could take it...
:Smiley Yanxiao: If you really want to ask about... her... you should just go ask the boss. I—I don't know anything, I swear...
;(Talk to Smiley Yanxiao again)

;(Talk to Verr Goldet)
:Verr Goldet: Traveler! How can I help?
: About Dusky Ming...
:Verr Goldet: Oh, her? She's been quite well-behaved since that incident.
:Verr Goldet: But I do feel bad for that child. Whenever a festive period rolled along in the past, she'd get lonelier as the inn grew livelier. As a result, she would wind up starting trouble and scaring the guests.
:Verr Goldet: But I'm sure that she just wants someone to play with her. She is only a child, after all.
: Can we send her a Xiao Lantern?
: I wonder if she'd like a Xiao Lantern...
:Verr Goldet: You want to send her a Xiao Lantern? That's not a bad idea. The only trouble is that she's quite hard to find...
:Verr Goldet: If you're looking for her, you should hang a Xiao Lantern atop one of the trees in the nearby forest at night.
:Verr Goldet: That way, she should be able to see it.

;(After talking to Verr Goldet)
:Paimon: D—Do we really have to go...
:Paimon: W—Well, if you insist... Let's just finish that Xiao Lantern and bring it over...
:Paimon: But we're coming straight back as soon as we're done, okay!?
----
;(Upon reaching the woods)
:Paimon: This should be the place. Wonder where she is...
----
;(Play hide-and-seek with Dusky Ming)
:Dusky Ming: Oh, you came to play with me.
:Dusky Ming: Hehe, did you remember what I said last time?
:Dusky Ming: Well, why don't we play... some hide-and-seek, then?
:Dusky Ming: Hey, is that a Xiao Lantern in your hand?
:Dusky Ming: It looks beautiful. I wonder what touching it would feel like...
:Dusky Ming: It's been so long since anyone gave me a Xiao Lantern...
:Dusky Ming: Hehe, over here.
:Dusky Ming: Hang the Xiao Lantern up on that tree, quick!
:Dusky Ming: Hang it up a little higher, it'll look better that way...
----
;(After hanging the Xiao Lantern)
:Paimon: This should do it...
:Paimon: Hey, are you still there...
:Paimon: Uh, she didn't reply. We should totally leave. Like, right now...
----
;(After leaving the woods)
:Paimon: L—Look! That lantern is gone! Y—You know, the one we hung up there ourselves...
:Paimon: L—Let's just get out of here now, shall we...
----
;(Talk to Verr Goldet again)
:Verr Goldet: Well, did you deliver the Xiao Lantern?
: I guess... we can consider it sent.
:Verr Goldet: I believe so, too. This should cheer her up a bit at least.
:Verr Goldet: I wonder, what sort of wish would that child make?
