Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Affable Kojin: Oh, would you look at that! We have a visitor, and not just any visitor but one from the above!
Affable Kojin: Might I ask you help with something? You see, I would like to go treasure hunting but need someone to accompany me. If I go with one of the other villagers, they will try to take more than their fair share of our find.
Affable Kojin: You from the surface, however, have no interest in treasure, only koban. For your help you shall receive a handsome sum, so what do you say? If you are willing to join me, meet me outside the Tamamizu gates in a quarter bell.

Speaking with the affable Kojin

Affable Kojin: Thank you for coming, my good lady/sir! Before we begin hunting for treasure in earnest, let us go over the basics. Do you see those great columns of seaweed below us?
Affable Kojin: Treasures are often carried into the areas surrounding our village by the ocean currents and become entangled in the roots and stalks of larger clumps of plants like those.
Affable Kojin: If you do a bit of tugging on the stalks and rummage about the roots, treasure should appear! Go ahead, and give it a try!
(Optional)
Affable Kojin: Try digging about the roots and looking at the stalks of those large columns of weeds over there.

Searching for seabed treasure

Affable Kojin: Excellent work, for a beginner! Now let us move on to doing some actual treasure hunting! Oh, and remember not to waste your time searching the smaller clumps of grass. Treasures rarely─if ever─get stuck in them.
Affable Kojin: Please go and search the waters near Sui–no–Sato and to the rear of our village. I shall poke about the other areas.
Affable Kojin: Once you have collected all the treasure to be found there, I ask that you return to Tamamizu and deliver them to me there.

Delivering the seabed treasures to the affable Kojin

Affable Kojin: So how did the hunting go?
<Hand Over Seabed Treasures>
Affable Kojin: You have brought back a bounty of porcelain plates, bottles and look─this is a torn zabuton cushion! This is one of the rarer treasures I have possessed to date!
Affable Kojin: Ah, but you bore of this talk. After all, your kind only has an eye for koban. That you would not desire to own such exquisite objects─you are a very strange people, indeed.
Affable Kojin: I suppose, however, I must be thankful for it because that means all the more treasure for us! Haha! Thank you for your help in gathering these for me, sir. I cannot wait to take them home!
