The Moon-Bathed Deep

"...They say that Omikami's envoy had three eyes: one for the 'soul,' one a 'mirror,' and the last the 'truth'..."

"...From the depths it arose, from the south, o'er the north, and all about the western mound..."

"...The three eyes shone mercilessly to ward off the dragon's heir..."

Paimon... knows all these words... but none of them mean anything when strung together.

It doesn't look like there are any clues around here either, so why don't we try using Elemental Sight?

"...The three eyes shone mercilessly to ward off the dragon's heir..."

"...To provoke battle, to defend, and end them quickly, and thus take unto oneself the spoils — 'tis the way of Watatsumi, marked in tooth and claw..."

Ugh... There's barely anything legible here. Paimon guesses we'll need to fight and protect something... so we can get the Spirit Pearls... or something.

"...To provoke battle, to defend, and end them quickly, and thus take unto oneself the spoils — 'tis the way of Watatsumi, marked in tooth and claw..."

"For the retainers of other lands shall come from abroad..."

"...The two greet each other like scale and fin, like thigh and bone, ever connected, aiding in our great Omikami's rule..."

Uh, "the two greet each other," huh... Maybe this means that we need to pair off those fish statues we saw before so they face the center of those big discs?

Ooh, now Paimon's hungry for fish...

"For the retainers of other lands shall come from abroad..."

"...The two greet each other like scale and fin, like thigh and bone, ever connected, aiding in our great Omikami's rule..."

"This holy hall contains a divine blessing. Tread lightly and walk slowly, following the lights. Run not, rush never, make no hue or cry, and approach with piety in one's heart for our great Omikami's grace."

Uh, so this means we need to take it easy... and respectfully?

How are they gonna measure our respect, though?

(Miss Tsuyuko seems to be thinking about something, so perhaps this is not the time to disturb her.)

Welcome back, Traveler. Is there something I can do for you?

So, about your commission...

We got the four Spirit Pearls!

Is that so? I knew I could count on you, thank you very much! Then, we are only one step away from unlocking the final seal of the "heart."

Sorry, I have to ask you both to come along with me — I hope you don't mind.

Since we're already here, a little more's no biggie! Right, Traveler?

There's no time to lose. Let's head off!

Hmm...

Miss Tsuyuko...?

Oh— Sorry, I was quite lost in thought just then.

Thanks to your help, we have the Key of the Moon-bathed Deep in hand.

The Key of the Moon-shaved what now? ...And what is that, anyway?

Haha, just call it the "Key of the Deep." We're not going to insist that outlanders use all the proper names for every last thing.

This is something we will need to open the entrance to Enkanomiya. It was forged from the very spilled blood of our Omikami...

...Or at least, that's what the legends say.

Oh...

Curiouser and curiouser...

Haha! It isn't mysterious at all! In fact, it's just the opposite.

Well, now we just need to report to the Divine Priestess, await her approval, and then wait for the spirit vein flow to be correct...

And then, we can head down to Enkanomiya.

Wait, then what did we do all this for?

Well, it's not as if you gained nothing during this journey, right?

I mean... You've secured the lasting friendship of the Sangonomiya Shrine! Watatsumi Island will welcome you back any time!

How about something a bit more concrete than that?

...

The records do say that the Spirit Pearls will answer the summons of someone pure, and that the Key will only come together for one whose heart is as clear as the waters themselves.

I don't generally believe what those texts say, but I do believe that you can turn Watatsumi Island's situation around.

Well then, when the time comes to go down to Enkanomiya...

Well then, see you.
