Opening Dialogue

Speaker	Dialogue
Player Character	Mouflon, let's go hiking together!
Mouflon	H-Hon, hiking? I'm feeling not so...
Player Character	What's wrong? Aren't you a hiking enthusiast?
Mouflon	During my last hike, I heard some strange noise.
Mouflon	So I'm a bit scared that going hiking now might prove to be dangerous...
Player Character	Whatever caused the strange noise must have been long gone now, right?
Mouflon	I know that might be the case, but still...
Player Character	So, Mouflon, that message was from you, right?
Mouflon	H-Hon, th-that's right.
Player Character	So what did the noise actually sound like?
Mouflon	It was a kind of sharp, piercing, indescribable noise.
Player Character	Indescribable...
Mouflon	That sounds a bit scary, but I'm still quite curious...
Player Character	Let's go investigate together then!
Mouflon	PC]... Are you sure it's going to be okay?
Player Character	No worries. Friends should fully trust one another.
Player Character's Note	The strange noise from the mountaintop... Though it sounds scary, it's surprisingly... intriguing! Let's investigate!

Mouflon	Sheepish Cafe got some very tasty black tea...
Player Character	That's not why we're here, Mouflon!

Ending Dialogues

Ending 1: Exceptional Singing

Mouflon and I head to Sheepish Cafe first. After learning about the situation, we run across the frequent guest Crested Ibis. After a short while, Crested Ibis starts to practice singing... Yes! That's what we've been looking for!

Speaker	Dialogue
-	(Arrives at Sheepish Cafe)
Suri Alpaca	Oh, we have guests, baa!
Player Character	Alpaca, we're here to-
Mouflon	Have an enjoyable life!
Mouflon	Uhh, no-no-no... As soon as I saw the beautiful view from the mountaintop, I forgot what we were here for.
Player Character	Anyway, please give us two cups of black tea. Thanks!
Suri Alpaca	No problem. Please wait a moment, my dear guests! Baa!
-	(Sounds of making tea)
Mouflon	So, are you going to ask Alpaca directly or wait and see?
Player Character	Ask directly.
Player Character	Wait and see.3
Player Character	Alpaca, could you tell me if you have heard any strange sounds recently?
Mouflon	Then we'll wait.
Suri Alpaca	Hmm... I haven't heard any, baa.
Mouflon	Idly sitting here with a cup of black tea is just SO relaxing!
Player Character	Well, thank you, Alpaca.
Player Character	Don't get too comfortable, Mouflon.
Mouflon	Hey, look, Crested Ibis just came in.
Player Character	Golden Snub-nosed Monkey told us about Crested Ibis. Let's go ask her.
Mouflon	Crested Ibis went toward the back. Should we follow her quietly?
Player Character	Let's go, Mouflon.
Mouflon	H-Hon! W-Wait, there it is-that sound... (whispers)
Player Character	If you listen closely, it is indeed somewhat sharp and piercing...
Mouflon	Yes, that's why I'm worried.
Player Character	But... this sound... Could it be...?
Player Character	Let's go check it out in the back.
-	(Crested Ibis is singing}
Player Character	Just as expected...
Crested Ibis	Hmm? Did you two come here to listen to my singing?
Player Character	W-We were just passing by!
Mouflon	So it's the singing of Crested Ibis... It's, um, quite unique...
Crested Ibis	Really? Th-thank you.
End
Mouflon	Aha, so it was Crested Ibis singing...
Reward	Mouflon Trust Up +90

Ending 2: Echoes Left Unclear

Mouflon and I go directly to Crested Ibis for information, but Crested Ibis apologetically tells us that she knows nothing about it. After that, we head to Sheepish Cafe where we manage to learn nothing, sitting there for a whole day. Mouflon is still quite worried. Looks like the investigation must go on...

Speaker	Dialogue
Player Character	Crested Ibis!
Crested Ibis	[PC]! Do you want to hear me sing today?
Player Character	I would have loved to, but we came here for something else today.
Crested Ibis	What's the matter? Tell me about it.
Mouflon	I heard a scary sound from the mountaintop where you often go!
Crested Ibis	Scary sound...
Mouflon	That's right! Crested Ibis, please stay vigilant!
Crested Ibis	Thank you for your concern, but I'm afraid I don't know what that sound is either.
Mouflon	I see......
Crested Ibis	Sorry.
Mouflon	N-No need to apologize!
Crested Ibis	No, really, I'm sorry...
Mouflon	There's really no need. We'll be going now. Thank you, Crested Ibis!
Player Character	So, let's just go to Sheepish Cafe and look around!
-	(Arrives at Sheepish Cafe)
Player Character	Alpaca, could you tell me if you have heard any strange sounds recently?
Suri Alpaca	Hmm... I haven't heard any, baa.
Player Character	In that case, could we have two cups of black tea, please?
Suri Alpaca	Sure, baa!
-	(Spent whole afternoon drinking tea)
Mouflon	At the end of the day, we've found nothing-there's no strange sound at all.
Player Character	Whatever made that sound must have been scared.
Player Character	What's the truth?
Mouflon	Ugh... seeing the view from the mountaintop and drinking tasty tea today made me very happy!
Mouflon	But still not finding the answer to that sound still leaves me a bit concerned. What if our Friends get affected...
Player Character	You're right... Let's think of other ways.
End
Mouflon	The black tea is enjoyable! No, wait... We must focus on getting to the bottom of this (text is cut off).
Reward	Mouflon Trust Up +45
