Oh, Bororinerk's Shugo tummy hurts. So much stress trying to sell things here. Do you know how many Minor Power Shards Bororinerk must sell to cover costs?!

If Bororinerk sold as many as Jamanok sells meat dumplings here, would be rich! Rich!

Between Daeva and this humble Shugo, is something "special" about dumplings here. People can't leave the inn because they love dumplings too much! Akakakak!

Player: "They must be scrumptious."

Scrumptious? Hmmm...didn't eat any--Bororinerk is vegetarian. But all who try dumplings marvel at taste.

Such a pity such wonderful dumpling sold in this remote, remote village, nyerk. If only Bororinerk could get recipe, would hire Kobold cooks and open big dumpling restaurant in city. Profit galore!

But no matter how Bororinerk peeks around the kitchen, no recipe.

Player: "Maybe I can help."

Ooooh, maybe you can. If you can get the recipe, Bororinerk will reward you.

Bororinerk will leave this place as soon as recipe is in my paws. Will borrow Kinah from Shugo Traders at reasonable interest, open dumpling restaurant, and become rich by selling them to people who can't get enough! Akakakak!

Player: Accept.

Be cautious. Don't want to make them suspicious, nyerk.

Daeva should ask butler Gastak, perhaps. Very politely.

If butler doesn't know, get some dumplings from Jabala and take them to Hestia in Sanctum. Cooking Master like Hestia can analyze for recipe! Akakakak!

Player: "A good plan."

Grrrr...Gastak dying for a dumpling.

Soft, tender dumpling...mouth full of meat juice...mmmmm...yummy!

Jabala's dumpling is best. Kraark.

Player: "What's in such a tasty dumpling?"

Only Jabala knows recipe, kraark.

Jamanok says secret is secret. No one should know it.

Dumplings should only be for Jamanok Inn. Kraark.

Player: "Um...of course."

What?

Something wrong? Kobold done nothing wrong.

This ax? Ax better than knife for cutting big meats.

Player: "Meat for dumplings?"

Why you ask?

Kobold just mince meat, add spices.... Don't try to know details. Just eat!

Kobold generous today. Kobold give you one dumpling to try.

Player: "Thank you!"

Did you know that almost any animal or plant in Atreia can be used as an ingredient for a dish?

There's a joke...every animal's edible except Daevas and Humans.

And every one has its own unique taste. The real trick is to combine them properly.

Player: "I need you to analyze this."

A dumpling?! Why would you ask me to analyze a dumpling? Any idiot can make a dumpling. All right, I'll have a taste.

Oooooh. Oh my. I can't believe a simple dumpling has such a fantastic flavor. The dumpling skin is ordinary dough and the stuffing is...Giant Parasol Mushrooms with salt and pepper...but the meat...maybe Bellepig meat? No, not that....

And it's not Crestlich meat. I can't figure out what kind of meat this is.

Player: "Hmm...mystery meat, eh?"

Did Daeva find out recipe for dumplings?

Was butler cooperative?

Did Daeva get dumpling analyzed by Hestia?

Player: "I did. It's mystery meat."

Hestia can figure out any recipe from just one taste! She couldn't identify the meat?

What kind of meat could it be if Hestia's never tasted it?

Very strange! Thank you for hard work anyway, Daeva.
