Go to the Spring Dragon Shrine (6 AM – 10 PM)

Iroha has plans to take her Teahouse from the town’s favorite to a famous eatery, enough to catch the eye of the Capital and tourists from miles around. She will enlist your help as well as Woolby’s to distribute flyers from the skies to drop them into each village in hopes of drawing more attention to her Teahouse. After the flyers are all given out, she will leave the player and Woolby for the day.

As Ulalaka predicted, the crowds have stopped, and Iroha is crestfallen at the lack of business. Instead, after encouragement from the player, she decides she needs to make a new updated dango and enlists the player to grab the needed ingredients. After turning the ingredients in, wait a day and return to the Teahouse the following day to taste the new dango. While the new dango is flavorful and larger than usual, Iroha still seems more stressed out than normal. You will find out why once you hit Bond Level 5.

While the critic finds the food good, it doesn’t live up to his standards, leaving Iroha crushed. While the player tries to offer some advice, Iroha locks herself away in her Teahouse to tirelessly work on the recipe, much to the disappointment of the villagers.

Eventually, it’s Suzu who brings Iroha to her senses by saying she prefers the dango she used to make when she still had fun with it. Iroha, the next day, presents the original recipe and impresses the critic at the same time, though she turns down the offer to expand her business to the Capital. At the end, she celebrates and thanks the player for their help, though she blushes, knowing another reason why she stayed after the player leaves.

Though the two try to stay on track, they take a detour and browse for a new flower pin for Iroha to wear later on before resuming the search for Suzu. Suzu later reveals she could hear them and expresses that she wanted to get them a present for being a new couple, only to fail.

After a wonderful tour, the player promises that one day, after everything is over, they’ll take her to the Capital and vow to fulfill it someday.

Marriage Proposal

After you max out your intimacy with Iroha and reach Bond Level 10, Woolby will gift you with a special Red Plum Sapling and Divine Spirit’s Recipe. Plant the Tree behind a Dragon Shrine of yours and wait for it to bloom, then craft the Divine Spirits like any other drink at a cooking station. Once you’re ready, invite Iroha to the Fateweaver Shrine to initiate the proposal.

Marriage Ceremony

A day after your proposal, you and your new spouse will receive congratulations on your wedding day throughout all the villages, and go through a traditional ceremony where Rin or Kaguya will oversee the ceremony at the shrine. Woolby will help you end your vows. Ultimately, you will be able to update your nicknames to reflect your new marital status. You have now reached the end of this guide and have successfully romanced and married Iroha. As a bonus, you will receive the achievement: My marriage to Iroha.
