Kurt	...What do you want? ...You're asking me what I'm doing?
Kurt	Do you know about how this place is going to be gone soon?
Kurt	...Oh, right. You've come here to sort some things out.
Kurt	I was just hoping that...maybe I could find butterflies here. Specifically, the Azure Swallowtail... it's an endangered species.
Kurt	If they're discovered here, then this area might be protected as a wildlife preserve or something...
Kurt	The Boss said he saw one around here a long time ago. He said they come to where there's a blue flower...But that's all I know about them.
Goddess	I see! That's it♪
Nic	Have you come up with a good idea?
Nic, Nak, and Flak	Tell us, tell us, Goddess!
Goddess	All we have to do is prove that the butterflies that are attracted to blue flowers exist here♪
Nic	But we haven't seen a blue flower bloom in years!
Nak	Yeah, so the butterflies aren't going to come.
Goddess	Hmm... Well, it's always best to ask the florist when it comes to flowers.
Goddess	So, what are you waiting for? Get to work♪

P1 Hints and Comments

• Speak to Woody, Harvest Goddess, Nic, Flak

NPC	Line
Woody	A blue butterfly? I think I've seen it, but then again maybe not...
Woody	I used to wander all over the place, so it might not have been here.
Goddess	Hello. Did you ask the florist about the blue flower? Ask her when she's in her shop next time.
Nic	We've seen a blue flower before. It's really pretty.
Flak	If you can get the blue flower to bloom, the butterfly will probably come.

Parsley	Since I am a Plant Hunter, I can usually assure you that I can find and bring back any kind of plant you want, but....
Parsley	The blue flower is a bit tricky.
Parsley	There's a flower called Blue Mist that grows high up in the mountains, but... I don't know if it would grow here in this town.
Parsley	But it'll be worth trying! This is where I get to put my skills as a Plant Hunter to the test!

Lyla	I have to thank you, Toy.
