"Queensway, what is it? Did you find some tasty looking mushrooms?" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"No, quite the opposite. They look very nasty..." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Indeed, they look nasty!" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"What strange colour and shape!" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"But I'm sure these mushrooms didn't look this gross just now..." |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"So just as poisonous mushrooms mimicked edible mushrooms, edible mushrooms have also mimicked poisonous mushrooms?" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"What is really going on in these mountains?" |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"It's the work of the devil, hunting people who come here to pick mushrooms..." |
![Story Ohana.png](/images/e/e7/Story_Ohana.png) Ohana |
"Hmmm... I see I see..." |
![Story Ohana.png](/images/e/e7/Story_Ohana.png) Ohana |
"Ah, isn't this is a very nice mushroom? Let's poke it." |
![Story Ohana.png](/images/e/e7/Story_Ohana.png) Ohana |
"It doesn't seem to grow bigger or harder. It just looks and smells different..." |
![Story Ohana.png](/images/e/e7/Story_Ohana.png) Ohana |
"So, let's take a bite♪" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"WOAAAHH, MISS OHANA! WHAT ARE YOU EATING!?" |
![Story Ohana.png](/images/e/e7/Story_Ohana.png) Ohana |
"What? Mushrooms?" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Aren't these mushrooms poisonous? The ones that gave Finchley a hard time earlier!" |
![Story Ohana.png](/images/e/e7/Story_Ohana.png) Ohana |
"I have to check if they are poisonous mushrooms or not. Check if edible mushrooms also mimic poisonous mushrooms, or have the mimicry of the poisonous mushrooms broken down and reverted to their original form?" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"But..." |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Queensway, I'm sure Ohana will be fine - there is a story that Ohana once hid herself under poisonous plant canopies and battled the Mist for weeks on end. So her eating poisonous mushrooms should be no problem." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"What a talltale!? You can't eat poisonous mushrooms and not feel anything! On what grounds are these credible?" |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"No, it's just my guess. She should be all fine, I think." |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Back when I was a dorm student in the SSS, we even had an assignment to think of a way to defeat Ohana, so I just..." |
![Story Ohana.png](/images/e/e7/Story_Ohana.png) Ohana |
"It depends on the species of poisonous mushrooms and how much you eat! Well, the poisonous mushrooms that grow in this forest don't seem to have a very strong toxicity♪" |
![Story Ohana.png](/images/e/e7/Story_Ohana.png) Ohana |
"And..." |
![Story Ohana.png](/images/e/e7/Story_Ohana.png) Ohana |
"I'm the one who's on the hunt. I can't be a matron if I'm being hunted by mushrooms." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"......" |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"......" |
![Story Ohana.png](/images/e/e7/Story_Ohana.png) Ohana |
"Right, Finchley-chan?" |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"Yes, yes! I'll be diligent!" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"How are we going to be diligent..." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"Perhaps by mixing a little bit of poison into your food every day, something like that?" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Bah, we should stop with the drivel, Miss Ohana, are those mushrooms safe to eat?" |
![Story Ohana.png](/images/e/e7/Story_Ohana.png) Ohana |
"No, they tasted as just as good as they looked. So the edible mushrooms were not mimicking them." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"That means..." |
![Story Ohana.png](/images/e/e7/Story_Ohana.png) Ohana |
"Yes, this mushroom is a genuine, real poisonous mushroom♪" |
![Story Ohana.png](/images/e/e7/Story_Ohana.png) Ohana |
"Now we know that the mimicry poisonous mushrooms have simply reverted to its original form. In addition, we now know why this poisonous mushroom turns into other edible mushrooms." |
![Story Ohana.png](/images/e/e7/Story_Ohana.png) Ohana |
"This poisonous mushroom is reacting to a Phantom Mist. That is why it returns to its original form when the Mist clears." |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"But these poisonous mushrooms have long since a native St. Iris species. If it reacts to Phantom Mist and mimics it, shouldn't there be similar reports to this one?" |
![Story Ohana.png](/images/e/e7/Story_Ohana.png) Ohana |
"As expected of Finchley-chan. You're so brainy~" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Brainy, Instructor Finchley?" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"......" |
![Story Ohana.png](/images/e/e7/Story_Ohana.png) Ohana |
"This Phantom Mist is mixed with a magic powder. It's like a seasoning that adds flavour to your food. Well, it's not really seasoning because it doesn't change the taste." |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"I see! That's what you mean!" |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Which means what?" |
![Story Finchley.png](/images/1/15/Story_Finchley.png) Finchley |
"The source of the Phantom Mist in these mountains is something that disperses something that alters the appearance of poisonous mushrooms. Poisonous mushrooms that come into contact with the Phantom Mist it produces will change their appearance into edible mushrooms." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"So this something is the 'magic powder' that Ohana mentioned." |
![Story Paddington.png](/images/2/28/Story_Paddington.png) Paddington |
"It's more like powder from mushrooms, meaning spores!" |
![Story Ohana.png](/images/e/e7/Story_Ohana.png) Ohana |
"Yes, that's the word♪ Perhaps the source of this Phantom Mist is the poisonous mushrooms that sprinkle the spores. Magic spores that react only to poisonous mushrooms. They're very nasty mushrooms, aren't they?" |
![Story Ohana.png](/images/e/e7/Story_Ohana.png) Ohana |
"But it's better if they're bad, because they're easier to deal with. It makes mushroom hunting worthwhile... Heheh." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Let's see..." |
![Story Queensway.png](/images/b/bc/Story_Queensway.png) Queensway |
"Now then, let's find some of these malignant mushrooms!" |
