The more I think about it, the more I am stuck about the reason why the Orange Mushrooms have changed. I suspect that it might be a war within the monsters for supremacy. It's a well-known fact that Orange Mushrooms and Pigs have had skirmishes over their territories.

But it's been years since the Orange Mushrooms and Pigs signed a peace treaty, so I don't see that as a viable reason. If we're to really look into the reason why they're acting that way, then we'll also have to look into the Pigs as well. You may have to go do more work.

I want you to eliminate Pigs and gather up 50 s for me. s are usually twirled up, but during a crisis, pigs get so stressed their tails turn straight. If we study s, we'll find out whether the Pigs are also preparing for war.

Studying even the slightest of possibilites! Is that not the way of the scholar? Of course, you're not a scholar, but...you get what I mean.

Did you find 50 s? Then let's take a look at them. Hand me the tails.

Seeing that the s are still rolled up mean the Pigs are not preparing for war. Then why are the Orange Mushrooms getting ready for battle? Hmmm. We're back to square one.

For now, I'll keep looking into the reason behind this chaos. It may take some time, so I suggest you keep hunting. I'll see you when you reach Level 15.

Have you not been able to gather 50 Pig Tails? I will need at least that many to come to a definitive conclusion...
