## Descriptions

### Bond Lv1

A type of cat youkai known as the kasha, she's the right-hand of the Palace of the Earth Spirit's mistress. Being able to communicate with corpses and spirits sounds convenient! But... kasha are known for stealing corpses. That's the reason she's despised right? Well, it's not nice to gossip about other people's interests...

### Bond Lv3

When you think about it, when a human has just passed away, wouldn't they be completely at a loss? If only they could meet the cheerful and talkative Orin during their journey to the other side, maybe it'd mitigate some of the fears brought by death.

### Bond Lv5

The "black cat of bad omens" who lived in prejudice, so she had to go through such hardships. Prejudice really is awful. Good thing Orin met Miss Satori. Having a good owner can really change a pet's life. I wish Orin can continue living a carefree life of stealing corpses~

## Tag Requests

* Fresh: *“Bacteria grows on rotten food, so fresh food is better.”*
* Sweet: *“Sweet food is the simplest way to get a gourmet experience~”*
* Aquatic: *“I'm so clever because I love eating fish.”*
* Sea Delicacy: *“The Underworld and the seabed are actually connected right? [sic]”*
* Peculiar: *“Sometimes cats find strange things even more exciting!”*
* Dreamy: *“How I wish to return to the garden of my dreams.”*

## Spell Card

### Cat Sign "Cat's Walk" (Reward)

For the next 30 seconds, serving beverages tagged with "Mid Alcohol" will result in the best rating.

*(This overrides every other rating system. Common Customers will give orange ratings even if the drink is not what they ordered, and Rare Customers always give pink ratings regardless of requested tags. Cuisines are ignored for rating entirely.)*

### "Rekindling of Dead Ashes" (Punishment)

When Orin leaves, a vengeful spirit will be left at her table which will continue to place orders based on Orin's preferences. Vengeful spirits cannot be kicked out, nor will they pay. They will only disappear once satisfied like a normal guest.

## Bond Rewards

* Lv2: Neko-manma recipe
* Lv3: Salmon Tempura recipe
* Lv4: Dragon Carp recipe
* Lv5: Rin's Letter of Recommendation and "About Gathering (will spend 30 minutes)" dialogue option. This dialogue option will yield all gatherable items from the Palace of the Earth Spirits at 18:00.

## Strategies

Although Dreamy and Sea Delicacy are a bit harder to add, all of Orin's requested tags can be thrown onto anything: Fresh with Seaweed, Aquatic with any sort of seafood, Sweet with Honey, Peculiar with Cicada Slough. Sea Delicacy can be added by Premium Tuna, Pufferfish, Octopus or Sea Urchin. Dreamy can be added with Udumbara or Bingdi Lotus.

The cheapest and simplest source of Dreamy that isn't an additional ingredient is Cubic Kedama Ice Cream, Scarlet Devil Cake or Unconscious Youkai Mousse: all of these have Dreamy and Sweet, but only one slot for further ingredients. That said, using Scarlet Devil Cake with Premium Tuna or Pufferfish covers all of her tags. If you have DLC 1, Sea Urchin or Octopus are alternatives, with Sea Urchin and Octopus having the exact same tags as Premium Tuna and Pufferfish respectively.

While very expensive, Dragon Carp is the simplest solution, with 5 different tags Orin likes, only missing Peculiar.

Fruity Highball or Fruity Sour are Low Alcohol + Fruity, Mio is Low Alcohol + Soda, Daiginjo is Fruity + Sake (though a bit costly).

Overall, Orin is **a very high priority character.** Her recipes are only average, but the ingredients she can gather are quite rare and very valuable, making it worth the time spent.

Orin's reward spell card is quite possibly one of the strongest in the entire game. By simply serving everyone Umeshu, Divine Wheat, Sangetsusei or any other Mid Alcohol beverage (which you can gain a solid amount of easily), you can give *literally any cuisine* without regard for their preferences or even what regular customers ask for, only having to pay attention to their budgets. This can massively increase your profits if managed well.
