[Hijikata really expected this quest to be a lot more taxing. Ayato truly is a menace, all the more against these enemies that are so weak against his elements! His tactic saved them a lot of time: By sinking the monsters into the drenched ground first thing he cooled them out far more effectively than he'd been able to with repeated overground attacks.

With his continued support the second monster has its core broken within moments, and Hijikata returns to his side, satisfied.]

This was the easiest 8000 Moon Coins I ever made. There are no other lava monsters out here as far as I can see, so should we go back to the airship station, or set up camp and wait for more?

[Entering the Lava-Ridden Lands would be a bad idea, after all.]
