Walkthrough

• After the Archery Contest in Mori Village is finished, wait by Saya for a couple minutes until this event starts, then escort them north.
• At each stop, there will be a witness and several objects that can be inspected. Determine if each object is evidence that supports what the witness states happened to Tateo. Choosing evidence that supports the idea that they were attacked by a large animal, and discarding other evidence, will advance the progress bar. Choosing evidence that implies something else will cause you to be immediately attacked, and you will gain no progress.

Dialogue

Event start

Mori Scout: Saya! I just spotted one of your students in the forest. They slipped away when I called out.

Meisa: The forest? Alone? No. Tateo? TATEO! ...This is my fault.

Saya: Yes, it is. But that's not important right now. I'll go after them.

Saya: Tateo...? If you're out there, come talk to me!

Saya: We need to find that fledgling before anything happens.

Saya: But maybe we're too late... Need to sweep the area for clues.

Arriving at the search site

(one of the following witness, the NPCs order is random)

(If Ena)

Saya: Ena, I'm trying to find Tateo. They ran away from home, and I think something's happened to them.

Ena: I've been tracking something big moving through the underbush. Like it was trying to stay out of sight.

Ena: Maybe it has them?

(If the Xunlai Jade Scientist)

Saya: Have you seen any of the village fledglings around out here?

Xunlai Jade Scientist: Yes, just a few minutes ago. Fighting something off.

Xunlai Jade Scientist: It didn't look like the kid was winning... I'm sorry. They ran off before I could intervene.

(If Zephyria)

Saya: Hello, did you see one of our fledglings run this way?

Zephyria: Yes, a few minutes ago⁠—an animal dragged them off. I tried to chase, but they disappeared.

Zephyria: I wish I could tell you what sort of animal it was, but I'm not familiar with the local fauna...

After completing the search at the first search site

Saya: Something has them. We need to hurry.

Arriving at the second search site

Saya: No sign of them. Well, maybe we can find some more clues as to what happened.

(Saya talking to one the witness, same as above)

After completing the search at the second search site

Saya: Still alive when they left this area...

Arriving at the third search site

Saya: Tateo! If you can hear me, make some noise!

(Saya talking to one the witness, same as above)

Event completion

(If Champion Kirin)

Saya: So it was a kirin...

(If Champion White Tiger)

Saya: So it was a tiger...

(If Champion Wallow)

Saya: So it was a wallow...

Saya: What would cause them to try to prey on one of us? No time to think about that now⁠—it seems they went...

Saya: That way! Let's go!

Notes

Bug:

The event can stall after the 'Clues investigated at the First Search Site.' step. Saya becomes unresponsive and does not progress the event, preventing the entire event chain from being completed.
