<Christmas Sprite> Chrestos

"Sprite Messenger! Did you come to me because of the Christmas gift list?"

You tell Chrestos that you really want to receive a gift.

"Well, you've been very helpful all the time, so it's your age that stops you from receiving one."

"Bingo! I know how to get you a Christmas gift!"

"First, you have to transform into a child, and you need the rejuvenation potion!"

"This potion is easy to make and can be dangerous, so you can't buy it directly. However, you can get its ingredients from <Science Association Researcher> Ethen (125, 283), <General Store Owner's Daughter> Ledisia (160,184), and <Resident> Cathy (229, 212)!"

"I'll tell you what to do next once you bring back the ingredients!"

"Did you bring back the ingredients for making the potion?" Chrestos looks at you, puzzled.

You hand over the ingredients to Chrestos.

"That's right! These are the three ingredients we need! Next step is the most important one for making potion!"

"You need a Sprite to add special Sprite magic into making t!"

"I happen to be a Sprite and know how to make potions! Just leave it to me! I'll finish it soon, just a second!"

"The potion is done! Go to the test location (247, 203), and you'll transform into a child."

"There you'll take Santa Claus's quiz, and he'll ask questions that can determine if you're still young at heart."

"Let me explain the rules! Once the question is asked, you need to choose one magic circle to enter within the time limit. All are true/false questions: enter the Blue Magic Circle if your answer is "true" or enter the Red Magic Circle if your answer is "false". The answer for each question will be settled when the time is up, and the next question will follow immediately!"

"Please note that the quiz takes place in a public location, so you may be affected by other participants. Just believe in yourself! Good luck!"

*The status "Quiz" lasts for 30 minutes. If this status expires, abort the quest and try again.

"Have you passed the test?"

Chrestos looks at you, puzzled.

"Congratulations on passing the test!"

Chrestos looks at you with a big smile. You wonder why his smile gives you shivers.

"I have some good news and some bad news for you! I like to tell people the bad news first! So you can't stop me from spilling it out!"

"The bad news is that Santa Claus already knew that you are no child! And I'm the one who told him! Haha!"

Hearing this, your body suddenly turns stiff, you feel ashamed and guilty for pretending in front of Santa Claus.

"Don't be so depressed! I haven't told you the good news yet!"

"The good news is that Santa Claus isn't angry! Your childlike innocence and goodness have moved him, and he decided to give you a Christmas gift for being young at heart! Congratulations! Haha!"

Feeling happy, you look at Chrestos' smiling face. You wonder why you'd like to punch him in the face.

"Well? Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"You want to know what I can use the Innocent Hearts for? Both for decoration and a sense of safety as they shine brilliantly!"

"The soft light they exude can illuminate the darkness. The more Innocent Hearts I have, the less dark places there'll be! In other words, there'll be far fewer strange people coming out of the darkness every day!" As if remembering something hidden in the darkness, Chrestos shudders with fear.

"Darkness exists all over the world. The Innocent Hearts I've collected are far from enough!" An idea suddenly strikes Chrestos as he looks at you, eyes beaming with excitement.

"Sprite Messenger, here is a proposal: if you can give me 20 Innocent Hearts at one go, I'll give you a reward in return! What do you think?"

"Have you collected enough Innocent Hearts?"

"Great! This way, I can light up more places at once! I'm impressed, Sprite Messenger!"

"Here you go! Please accept this gift as a token of appreciation!"
