After completion of all Doman Reconstruction Quests

Minazuki: I believe that one day, the students will become upstanding citizens who will guide our people into an era of prosperity.
Minazuki: I pray that their old Master of Lessons, my husband, is watching over them.

Minazuki: I prayed that you would return safely. Words cannot express how worried we were after you and your families fled to seek refuge in Eorzea. But those dark days are behind us now.
Minazuki: Kozakura tells me you have formed the Doman Adventurers' Guild and performed all manner of good deeds during your time in Mor Dhona. In fact, I hear you have been helping people here in the enclave, too.
Minazuki: Well, if you can find time between guild assignments, perhaps we could resume your lessons?

Minazuki: You must be the hero whose name is on everyone's lips. It is an honor to finally meet you.
Minazuki: As you heard, the "Master of Lessons" to whom the children referred was indeed my husband. After his death during Lord Kaien's rebellion, the Garleans kept a close eye on me, fearing my teachings might spark an uprising.
Minazuki: Now, with the Empire gone, and our countrymen repatriated, I hope we can reclaim some semblance of normality.
Minazuki: An old woman I may be, but I am not blind to the events of the outside world. I have heard the tales of your bravery. Were it not for you and your friends, Doma would still be under imperial rule and this place in ruins.
Minazuki: Instead, it is now a thriving community. And I am sure the best is yet to come!

Minazuki: Oh, this is a welcome surprise! So, what do you think of our school? With a roof and sturdy walls, we can study without worrying about the weather.
Minazuki: On the other hand, the bookshelves are looking rather empty. I have my own copies of most of the texts, but listening to me reading them aloud does nothing for the children's literacy.
Minazuki: Luckily, for today's lesson on Rissai, we have all the books we need. Are you familiar with this pivotal figure?

Minazuki: Would you like to take a seat?
Minazuki: Rissai was a renowned samurai who once served Doma.
Minazuki: Not only was he a loyal and gifted swordsman, he was also a master tactician and well versed in the use of firearms. Above all else, however, he was a learned man, and spent much of his time reading.
Minazuki: When his days as his lord's vassal came to an end, he established a school that became known as "Rissai-juku."
Minazuki: Unlike most others at the time, it was not only for the children of samurai or those of high social standing, but for everyone. Rich or poor, all were accepted as students.
Minazuki: The school held a special place in our community and remained open after his death, with some of his former pupils becoming tutors themselves.

Minazuki: Yes, I was. I spent many happy years at the Rissai-juku, first as a pupil and later as a teacher. But all that came to an end when the Garleans invaded. They closed the school and sought to undo all the good it had done.
Minazuki: Even so, some of the older generation, such as myself, continued to teach Doman values in secret. The lessons we used to have together were one such example.
Minazuki: But now that the Empire is gone, we can teach as we please, without fear of reprisal. That is why I decided to reopen Rissai-juku.
Minazuki: The decades of oppression could not crush the Doman spirit. Much like the shazenso, we survive even under the harshest conditions. When they cut us down, we sprout anew, because our roots are strong.

Minazuki: My sentiments exactly. Now, who would like to read the next chapter to the class?

(Optional)
Minazuki: It brings me great joy to have such attentive pupils. Were it not for your donations, we would have nowhere to study. May the kami bless you.

Minazuki: Ah, the savior of Rissai-juku! I expect you have come to see what we have done with the school.
Minazuki: The building is a lot more grand, as you can plainly see, we have a lot more books to use in our lessons.
Minazuki: I was also delighted to find that the children had taken it upon themselves to gather everything they need to practice calligraphy.

Minazuki: They've always been energetic, but they've become so outgoing and independent during their time in Mor Dhona.
Minazuki: They have been through so much, at such a young age, which often forces children to grow up quickly. But it is more than that, I feel.
Minazuki: I think that all that hardship has taught them to appreciate the good times. Perhaps they have come to truly understand the joy that freedom can bring.
Minazuki: It is a delight to see the smiles on their faces. Many others around the enclave feel the same way. It fills us with hope for better days to come.
Minazuki: Actually, I thought this might be a good time to mention that the children have been planning something special for the school.
Minazuki: They have been trying to keep it a secret from me, so I shall have to remember to act surprised when it is finally unveiled. If my guess is correct, I have a feeling that you will want to see it too.

(Optional)
Minazuki: The students not only help around the school, but have been running various errands about the enclave, too. They are as determined as anyone to get Doma back on its feet.

Minazuki: Perhaps I should let the children explain...

Minazuki: Yes, anything that tells us about the world beyond our borders is welcome here.
Minazuki: And it brings me great relief to know that there are those in Eorzea who would go out of their way to aid Domans like us.
Minazuki: But surely such a large and meticulously crafted map is worth a substantial amount of gil? There must be some way we can repay your friend.

Minazuki: I must admit that this is the first time I have seen one of this sort. Until recently, we had few chances to lay our eyes on anything Eorzean.

Minazuki: It sounds like I could stand to learn a few things from you, my dears!
Minazuki: You and the other former refugees have much and more to share with the rest of Doma. Perhaps we should compile your experiences in a tome?

(Optional)
Minazuki: I hope that these children never have to live under oppression again. Therefore, I will do everything in my power to educate them, so that they will grow up to defend the freedom that so many died for.

Lighting the Way

Minazuki: Oh, [Forename]! How lovely to see you. Is there something you wish to discuss?
Minazuki: Tento-okuri? My, my, I never thought I would live to see another one of those. Of course, it would be our pleasure to attend. This is a valuable opportunity for the children to learn of our nation's rich traditions.

(Optional)
Minazuki: My students and I will join you in the One Garden presently. Thank you again for your kind invitation.
