Friend Event - A Visit to Tsuyukusa

As you walk into the village you find Ludus, Iluka, and Siluka together. They have received Magical Mission #2, which instructs them to go to Tsuyukusa and complete the following tasks: visit the spa, eat a snack at the tea house, and make a funny senryu poem. The mission also instructs you to participate too. It seems to be the same type of mission from Westown. Iluka is confused a bit about the poem, but maybe Kasumi has an idea. The four of you head over to Tsuyukusa.

Komari, Kasumi, Yuzuki, and Hinata are equally puzzled about the mission. Maybe it is some mischief by their deity, Inari? The Tsuyukusa folks offer to help by showing the way to the hot spring. Inside, you all agree to meet back after soaking for an hour.

You won't see your friends soaking in the water, but you will see their conversations. For the boys, Ludus scolds Hinata for not acting his age when bathing, while Hinata complements Ludus on how nice his body is. It must be because of his work as a carpenter. Yuzuki has a nice body too! Yes, Yuzuki replies that because of his prior weakness, he takes his physical strength seriously. For the girls, Kasumi says she is in heaven soaking in the hot water. Komari thinks maybe Kasumi should use her indoor voice. Kasumi was shy about being in the hot spring, but now she comes to the hot spring regularly. The hot spring is really good for one's health. Iluka starts falling asleep though!

Everyone gathers again outside of the soaking tubs, all fresh and relaxed. The next mission is to go to the tea house.

At Tea-ful Reunion, a lot of snacks are laid out for the Lulukoko group. Everything is delicious! Komari says her dad makes the best tasting snacks. After enjoying their tea and tasty treats, the next mission is to make a senyu poem. Kasumi volunteers to teach them how.

On the benches outside of the tea house, Kasumi instructs everyone on the 5-7-5 rules of senryu poetry. Hinata says an example about him going to work at the warehouse and how he wants more work hours. Well, that was strange. Iluka tries to make rhyming sentences but her senryu is about a time that Komari laughed at her. Ludus makes a rhyme about how Siluka and Iluka don't pay him for his carpentry services. Siluka makes one about this village making everyone happy. Now that one has some truth to it!

Now that the three missions are complete, a magical spell reveals a pile of random items on the ground between the benches. The items are for all of you. You can select from 30 Black Branch, 30 Black Rock, 10 Mugwort, 10 Hydrangea, or 10 Giant Butterbur.

After claiming your reward, everyone comments on how much they enjoyed this adventure.
