This quest begins in Osaka, within Izumi Settsu. You'll encounter a woman discussing a game involving origami butterflies. You might also stumble upon these butterflies while exploring the city. Collecting several of these large paper butterflies, typically pinned to trees near real butterflies, will uncover clues.
