Narumi Yatadera

Narumi is an NPC and Rare Customer found in the Forest of Magic. This location and NPC are from DLC 1.

## Descriptions

### Bond Lv1

A stone Jizo statue originally placed in the Forest of Magic brought to life by the forest's magic itself. If the forest has magic strong enough to do that, no wonder there are so many magicians living there, it must be really convenient for practice!

### Bond Lv3

I thought a Jizo statue would be more calm and dignified... Turns out that she was just pretending when we first met. With just a few conversations, she completely opened up to me. What a straightforward girl~

### Bond Lv5

She was finally granted the gift of life, but she's a NEET!? What a shame! I have to do something to get her motivated to see the rest of the world!

## Tag Requests

* Mild: *“I'm still a Jizo, so I should probably have something mild once in a while.”*
* Mountain Delicacy: *“I don't need to save the beasts wandering in the mountain, you know?”*
* Cultural Heritage: *“The culture behind each dish may be as complex as Buddhist scriptures.”*
* Specialty: *“I want to try specialty dishes from everywhere, but I'm too lazy to go find them.”*

## Strategies

Narumi's preferred tags are all over the place and many of them are difficult to add. Mountain Delicacy and Mild are the reliable ones: Truffle or Iberico Pork for the former, Tofu or Dew for the latter.

For Japanese, Miso Tofu or Tofu Stew cover Japanese and Mild.

For Cultural Heritage, use Shirayuki if you have it, as it also covers Japanese; else, Scholar's Ginkgo.

Specialty is, by and large, the hardest tag of the five: your earliest option is Secret Savory Mushroom Hotpot, which has Specialty and Japanese. Late-game, Kaguya-hime works well for her, as it has Specialty, Japanese, and Cultural Heritage. DLC3 provides Pine Nut Cake, which cheaply covers two tags (Mild, Specialty) and can be modified to also have Mountain Delicacy.

Once you advance Narumi's bond somewhat, these problems are slightly alleviated by access to Nigiri Sushi, which is Cultural Heritage, Mild and Japanese. Specialty still requires other solutions, but Mountain Delicacy can easily be added to the recipe.

Narumi's beverage tags are covered by two beverages total: Cassia Wine for Low Alcohol and Vintage, Dassai for Mid Alcohol and Neat. Both have chillable.

Narumi is **a comparatively low priority character.** Her recipes are decent at best: Buddha Jumps Over The Wall, while high cost, is outpriced (and outmatched in ingredient availability) by Oedo Boat Feast, while the others are rarely worth the ingredient cost. Her Lv5 rewards, the Jizo Figure, gives four random ingredients at the start of this day: the value of this effect is highly unpredictable, ranging from borderline useless to decently helpful.

Narumi's spellcard is, however, shockingly powerful: a large chunk of your income comes from tips to begin with, and a 50% increase to this is huge.
