Hieda no Akyuu

Akyuu is an NPC and Rare Customer found in the Human Village.

## Descriptions

### Bond Lv1

The head of the noble Hieda family in the Human Village. She's also the author of Gensokyo Chronicle!

### Bond Lv3

She's very talented but unfortunately, she's always weak due to poor health. In spite of it, she surprisingly still visits my izakaya occasionally. It's always a pleasant surprise when I see her, but I'm always worried that she might pass out here...

### Bond Lv5

She's always elegant but maybe a little rebellious at times? Reincarnation... I mean, she's just a girl, right?

## Tag Requests

* Soup: *"\*cough\* \*cough\* I'm not feeling too well today. Do you have any easily digestible soups?"*
* Premium: *"As the head of the Hieda family, I have to constantly monitor my behavior and maintain my status. The food I eat has to match my noble status."*
* Cultural Heritage: *"There are cultures buried in cuisines too. It's actually not that different from what I do."*
* Japanese: *"The Hieda family is a traditional Japanese family."*
* Mild: *“The key to a long and healthy life is to eat mild food…”*
* Sweet: *“Eating too many sweets is not good for your health \*cough\* but it shouldn't be too bad if have* [sic] *them once in a while...”*

## Spell Card

### Writing "Is This All The Work Of Youkai Too?" (Reward)

Obtain a signed washi by the famous novelist. You can exchange it for something special!

*(Washi are used to complete Looking for Miss Akyuu's Signed Washi tasks, and serve no purpose outside of them.)*

### Symposium "Unscrupulous Restaurant's Dark History" (Punishment)

Akyuu will expose one of izakaya's disheartening history, forcing the izakaya's atmosphere to drop to zero. Every guest in the izakaya will be depressed upon hearing this as well.

## Bond Rewards

* Lv2: Miso Tofu recipe
* Lv3: Vegetable Salad recipe
* Lv4: Falling Blossoms recipe
* Lv5: Unlocks "About Gathering (will spend 30 minutes)" dialogue option. This will yield all gatherable items from the Human Village at 18:00.

## Strategies

Miso Tofu checks Japanese, Mild, and Soup. You may add Honey for Sweet and any ingredient with Premium for Premium if they are requested.

If Akyuu requests Cultural Heritage, things become somewhat more difficult. Lategame, you can simply add Lunar Herb to solve this issue, but before then, you must use a recipe that inherently has the tag. Scholar's Ginkgo is the best option for this, checking Cultural Heritage and Sweet. You may, again, add Premium ingredients if needed, or Tofu for Mild.

Multiple beverages check all of Akyuu's tags: Sangetsusei, Sparrow Sake, and Dassai are all available at this point, and Tengu Tango is also good. Do not use Full Moon's Eve without spellcards to support the budget: while it does work with the tags, you have a high chance of going over Akyuu's budget 500-800 with the 440 cost drink and any food you may have served prior, possibly leading to a punishment spell card.

It is **highly recommended** you work on Akyuu's bond levels as fast as possible: she unlocks the Human Village's gathering activity, which nets you many frequently used ingredients. Inviting her frequently to increase her bond also allows you to farm her reward spell card frequently: this nets you Signed Washi, which you can give to a girl near Rinnosuke's store for various rare and valuable ingredients.
