### Dialogue

***??***: ... Who are you? ... Hm... a human? What is a human doing in such a dangerous place?

***??***: ... Oh? Reimu? you're here as well? Who is this man?

***Reimu***: This is [Outsider], he's here to...

***??***: I already know who he is. The tengu already informed us.

***Reimu***: Ah, she already went to the mansion, uh? What are you doing here, Patchouli?

***Patchouli***: I came to find a special mineral and I finally found it.

***Patchouli***: Tell me, [Outsider], is it true that you're the emissary from the outside world?

[***Outsider***]: Yes, I am although I admit Yukari is the one who told me.

***Patchouli***: I see... I see... interesting... Why did you two come in this cave?

***Reimu***: We wanted to see if we could find anything worthwhile in this cave.

***Patchouli***: Hmm... I can already see in your eyes that you want this mineral as well.

***Reimu***: Of course! We could fetch a lot of money if we sold it!

***Patchouli***: Very well then, we shall fight and the victor shall be allowed to take the mineral piece.

[***Outsider***]: Whoa! Wait! I never said I wanted that thing! You were here first so it's fair that you take it!

***Reimu***: Aw, come on [Outsider]! Did you see how big it is? Besides, we could also find some other use for it.

[***Outsider***]: Yes but she found the mineral before we did.

***Patchouli***: I don't really care if you want the mineral. I want to test if you truly are the emissary.

***Patchouli***: Yes, I Patchouli Knowledge shall test whether you truly are the emissary of the outside world or not.

[***Outsider***]: Ugh... do we really have to fight?

***Patchouli***: If you say the truth, then you shouldn't worry about this little experiment. Enough talk... prove me that I'm wrong!

***Patchouli***: Mukyu ~ ...

***Patchouli***: Puff... Puff... I... I see...

perhaps Yukari wasn't lying about you.

[***Outsider***]: Damn it... look at you! You're breathing so fast and hard that I think you're about to explode!

***Patchouli***: I... I'll be fine... I just need to rest a little. Well... you've won the fight. The mineral is yours.

***Reimu***: Yay! It's ours!... Well, I'll let you decide what to do with it.

[***Outsider***]: (Should I take it or let her have it?)

> *Taking mineral...*

***Patchouli***: I hope you'll be able to put it to good use. I would be very displeased if you wasted it.

***Reimu***: Well, it's ours now so it's up to us to decide what to do with it.

[***Outsider***]: In the worst case scenario, we'll give it to you, Patchouli.

***Patchouli***: Very well then [Outsider]. If you seek me, you will find me at the Scarlet Mansion.

***Patchouli***: Still... to think that I've gone through all the trouble to get this mineral.

***Patchouli***: Ah, forget what I've just said. Good luck in your journey [Outsider] and

Reimu. Try to stay out of trouble.

[***Outsider***]: (I can't believe that she lost this fight... she was so powerful. Yet... she seemed to be in really bad shape after that.)

[***Outsider***]: (I don't know what I'll do with this mineral. Perhaps I'll find some use for it or perhaps I could sell it but...)

[***Outsider***]: (... I told her that I wouldn't waste it. I'm sure I can sell it for a lot but if she figures out that I've sold it, she'll hate me.)

***Reimu***: Well, this mineral looks pretty unusual. I think we should keep it for now. If it ends up being completely useless, we'll be able

***Reimu***: To sale it and get a nice amount of money!

[***Outsider***]: Yeah, this is the best course of action for the time being. I just hope Patchouli isn't too sad about this.

***Reimu***: Giving it to her later is another option we have. Eitherway... I'll let you decide what you want to do with it.

***Reimu***: We should also get out of here. I don't think we have anything else to do in here.

[***Outsider***]: Yeah, let's get out of here.

#### If mineral is taken, Patchouli will give a sidequest when encountering her in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, delaying recruitment and entry into the SDM West Hall.

[***Outsider***]: I don't think I'll need that mineral. Please, take it Patchouli.

***Reimu***: Uh?... Ah... no... you're right. You should take it Patchouli.

***Patchouli***: ... I can have it? Hm, thank you. I shall take it immediately then.

***Patchouli***: Thank you [Outsider], you seem to have the kindness emissaries are claimed to have.

***Patchouli***: If you ever go to the Scarlet Mansion, you are welcome to visit me.

[***Outsider***]: Very well Patchouli, I shall do so when I pass by that mansion.

***Patchouli***: ... I guess the invitation extends to you as well Reimu. I'll ask Sakuya to prepare a cup of tea and a piece of cake if you wish to come.

***Reimu***: Ah! Thanks Patchouli! You better keep your word because I'll be asking for them when we visit the mansion!

***Patchouli***: Haha...

***Patchouli***: Now, if you'll excuse me, I shall return to the mansion. I wish to examine this mineral as soon as possible.

***Patchouli***: Good luck in your journey

[***Outsider***] and Reimu.

[***Outsider***]: Goodbye Patchouli, I hope this mineral will be of good use to you.

***Reimu***: Yes! You better not waste that mineral!

[***Outsider***]: Sorry Reimu, you wanted that mineral so badly.

***Reimu***: No, you don't need to apologize. You were generous with me so it's fine that you let her take it.

***Reimu***: She wanted it badly so I guess she needed it for something important.

***Reimu***: Besides, I can look forward to a good cup of tea and a delicious slice of cake. ~

[***Outsider***]: Haha! I'm glad to see that you're still happy in the end.

***Reimu***: Well, I think we're done here, right? Let's leave this cave.

[***Outsider***]: Yes, let's get out of here.
