Storyline
With Nona and Diospyros at their side, the party is teleported in a desolate version of Pinzton with no inhabitant in sight. The Mana Goddess Nona tells the group of her sister Dema's False Tree being born in their Hollow World to create a new Great Sanctuary. She is barely able to tied all their memories together as she felt his place was closest to their hearts. The team is sent back to the Mana Sanctuary, where the goddess entrust the harvester to search for their friends scattered in the echoes. Their first step is to find a scrap of their Hollow World's memories. Diospyros decides to part ways for now, as he is off to an echo where False Tree roots pose a looming threat. Baashear bemoans the fact that everyone seems to have a special mission except him. Mousseline teases him by telling he wasn't cut for it anyways, telling the fluffball she'll be assisting the protagonist in his place. Nona bids the duo farewell while she and Baashear watch as the harvester picks a fruit from the holy tree.
The protagonist and Mousseline are quickly wisked away into the echo, where they are reunited with Sumo and Fuji. The Mana Knight is glad to see his old friend is safe, tough he has trouble remembering the last time he met them. Sumo tells the group he's going to escort the maiden to Wendel. He adds that Duffle has been trying to become an apprentice knight under a grouchy old man living near the waterfall. The duo decides to lead the harvester and Mousseline to the man's lair.
The party stumbles on a giant yellow bird in the middle of the steppe. Mousseline claims she's neven seen anything like it, but Fuji identifes it as a chocobo. She adds that they are one the verge of extinction and are a rare sight these days. The large fowl dashes away from the team, right before Sumo gets to see it. He confides in wishing he would ride such a creature one day.
Finally arriving at the cabin, Sumo and Fuji must go their separate ways to Wendel, leaving the harvester and Mousseline alone. The faerie comments on them leaving in such a hurry, hinting at the old man's grouchy character. Upon entering, the party is faced with a rather cranky elder who adamantly refuses talking, but Duffle eagerly greet them with her usual enthusiasm. Mousseline introduces herself and tells the lively friend that Baashear has been taking it easy for a while. Duffle asks them if they heard the rumor about Sire Bogard's apprenticeship and wanted to becoe squire too, but Mousseline is puzzled as why she doesn't seem to want to go back in Pinzton. The young squire confused by that remark, telling she's yet to learn the legendary knight's secret technique. Bogard interrupts them, saying this is no place for children, urging the travellers to take Duffle with them. The young lady is having none of it, claiming she's not leaving until he shares his combat techniques with her. He replies she should rather learn the basics and train outside since he already disclosed he training task for today. She agrees and go in the back of the cabin before heading outside with her friends. The faerie notices Duffle's inability to remember her hometown, guessing the original echo's memories is fading away. They cannot go back there until she remembers, unfortunately.
The trio decides to train together in the Forbidden Abandoned Mine, where Duffle explains that the goal is to reach the deepest part of the cave. Mousseline remarks that this may be not a real training task as the old man seemed pretty eager to get rid of her back in his cabin. The young squire is undisturbed by it, saying this ordeal will surely unlock some kind of deep knowledge necessary for training. She still advise her comrades to be careful, as she never explored the mine before.

- The scene in At a Waterfall Cabin when the protagonist enters Bogard's Cabin and is met with a rude welcoming is quite similar to Bogard's introduction in Adventures of Mana.
