What Naniwa says

You: Chat

Yay! Miss Cassie just gave me the green light to set up a malaise trap somewhere in the Forest!

You: Chat

Insect catching is a quintessential part of summer. A childhood without it? Incomplete!

...Wait, what? I'm an adult? Well, then, an adulthood without insect catching is incomplete too!

You: Chat

Insects! They are the most magnificent expressions of delicate life! How could anyone not love them?

You: Chat

Insects are very sensitive. Being too loud will only scare them away.

You: Chat

Without wind, grass won't move. If you see grass moving, that means there's an insect hiding there.

You: Chat

During Utopia Opening Phase

Have you noticed? Lots of fireflies have appeared in the Forest recently! Who knows, there might even be some rare species among them.

So, go insect catching in the Forest as often as you can! And don't forget to invite your friends to join the fun!

You: Chat

During Utopia Opening Phase

The Beach Utopia is so interesting!

However, there are insects on the beach too. I simply hope everyone doesn't step on them while playing...

You: Chat

During Utopia Challenge Phase

Miss Cassie built a new jump puzzle on the big yellow duck on the sea.

It looks so exciting! I'll definitely go try it out later!

You: Chat

During the story

Have you spotted those little insects that look like specks of dust? They are treasures that Miss Annie's sister sent from beyond the island!

I think even that Miss Journalist won't hate these little cuties, right?

Maybe I should bring some to show her? Tee-hee.

You: Chat

In light snow weather

Wonder if it's the chill from the snowflakes that's keeping them away? All the insects seem to be in hiding now, boo-hoo.

What a pity! Why can't the joy of playing in the snow and the joy of catching insects coexist?

You: Chat

A toy bug that crackles like firecrackers! How interesting!

Wish the Spring Festival would just keep going forever.

Missing out on a beautiful yet rare insect bums me out, but catching one makes my day!

But because I'm an awesome insect-catching expert, the good days definitely outnumber the bad.

That's already pretty great!

During Winter Frost Season Week 1

One frostspore-infected butterfly flaps its wings, and suddenly there are lots of frostspore butterflies.

Could this be the legendary—frostspore butterfly effect? Wow, insects are amazing!

You: Chat

During Call of Whales Week 1

I asked Jiyoon from the Marine Archaeology Team if someone named Naniwa could just... hop on board the Explorer.

She gave me a long, awkward silence! And Vanya said that joke was a solid icebreaker!

Alright, fine. Even if I'm dying to check out the insects down there, I've still gotta master the ones on land first.

You: Insect Catching Supplies
