The Merchant's Daughter

Hold it right there. I need to talk to you, buster.

Who are you?

Name's Akai. I'm Hamadaya's daughter. And I'll ask the questions, thank you very much. How do you know my father?

Oh, um... I cleared some violent crows out of his path, then took care of some kappa he said were bothering the townsfolk.

You're as dumb as you look, aren't you? Do you always do everything everyone asks of you? What else did my father tell you to do?

He had me collect 100 Kappa's Poison Pouches for him as proof that I completed the task... He said he'd get rid of them, make sure they didn't harm any kids.

And you believed him. Idiot. The kappa don't HARM the townsfolk, they PROTECT us. My father just wanted their poison so the Daimyo can sell it. But now you've gone and angered the kappa, so they really WILL start making trouble. I hope you're ready to make things right.

Look, buddy, you don't have much of a choice here. This is your fault, so go through my dialogue again and this time make the RIGHT choice.

All right, now listen close. My father's a good man. Used to be, at least. Until one night, he and the Daimyo went fishing. When they came back, they both started acting weird. Something fishy's going on, and pun NOT intended.

There's a rumor that-- Well, I don't have time to get into all that right now. But we need Suzume's help. She's the youngest princess, and she's locked up in the Imperial Villa.

Find Nobuo, Princess Suzume's confidante, in the castle. You might be able to get in contact with Suzume that way.
