Nitori Kawashiro

Nitori is an NPC and Rare Customer found on Youkai Mountain. This location and NPC are from DLC 1.

## Descriptions

### Bond Lv1

If the kappa are all entrepreneurs, then as a midboss, she is the best among them! Although it's fine for businessmen to seek profit, it would be nice if she could place friendship above business once in a while...

### Bond Lv3

Miss Nitori is really smart, especially when it comes to business and technology! I always thought that kappa were profit-oriented, but but they seem to be willing to spend all their money on risky tech investments... I really don't understand them...

### Bond Lv5

Her ability to turn any incident into a business opportunity never ceases to amaze me. Is it possible to learn this power?

## Tag Requests

* Peculiar: *“Humans definitely can't understand the tastes of us kappa. . . well, maybe a few can.”*
* Aquatic: *“Kappas are the masters of water amongst the youkai, so it's natural we get our food from the water.”*
* Premium: *“Come on! Entertain us kappa! Show me your most premium dishes!”*
* Good with Alcohol: *“Drinking alcohol without something to go with it is just—”*
* Salty: *“Kappa need more salty food to regain our strength.”*
* Signature: *“Only the most famous dishes can be called a "Signature Dish"!”*

## Spell Card

### Kappa "Exteeeending Aaaaarm" (Reward)

For the next 120 seconds, partners can serve food and drinks remotely using kappa tech "Extending Arm."

* Waitresses and Drink Servers now throw food and drink respectively. This effect works similarly to Mystia's own throwing buff.

### Water Sign "Kappa's Flash Flood" (Punishment)

Summons a flood, washing away 3-5 random guests dining at the izakaya.

## Bond Rewards

* Lv2: Pickles recipe
* Lv3: Creamy Crab recipe
* Lv4: Imitation Shirikodama recipe
* Lv5: Kappa Heavy Duty Telephone item

## Strategies

Fulfilling Nitori's cuisine tags is somewhat of a struggle until Lv3 bond: at that point, Creamy Crab covers Good with Alcohol, Signature and Premium, with the remaining three tags easy to add (fish for Aquatic, Black Salt for Salty, Cicada Slough for Peculiar).

Until then, Fried Lampreys is your best option, with Aquatic and Signature: Salty and Peculiar can be added as stated above, Radish can add Good with Alcohol and Premium can be added with any ingredient that has it. Note that you will need to add the Meat tag as well if you apply Radish: Nitori dislikes Vegetarian food, so you'll cancel out the point gain otherwise.

Nitori's beverage demands are simple: Tengu Tango if High Alcohol, Dassai if Mid Alcohol, either if Neat or Sake.

Nitori is **quite possibly the highest priority character in the game.** Her Lv2 and Lv3 recipes are simply solid, while Imitation Shirikodama is frighteningly cost-effective (and is a good use for Venison, which you've likely stockpiled by this point due to pretty much zero need for it elsewhere).

All this, however, pales in comparison to the sheer power of her Lv5 Izakaya Item, the Kappa Heavy-Duty Telephone. This item allows the player to talk to (and buy from) any shopkeepers they have met, and to talk (and fulfill interactions) with any Rare Customers at Lv4 or above. This completely eliminates travel time spent navigating to those customers and shopkeepers, allowing the player to simply request gathering, invite, chat and buy ingredients from the comfort of their own home before dedicating the rest of their time to gathering ingredients.

This is, simply put, a game-changer. There is nothing else to be said about it: the item speaks for itself.

Nitori's spellcard is quite useful, reducing the time spent by your partners on delivering food and drink. Do note that it serves no benefit if your drink servers / waitresses are Sakuya and/or Yumeko, as the former can teleport instead of throwing dishes, while the latter already possesses the ability to do so.
