Overview

Nerida is the hot-springs and wellness attendant found across the Present, Medieval and Future eras. Her route includes healing baths and daily wisdom, six personal story encounters, three heart-to-hearts, one Stargazing Date, an expanded branching private bath, a separate hot-springs animation, two shared encounters, Kupie, Aether Stone bonding, and an optional family continuation.
This guide covers the playable requirements and reward choices while leaving her deeper history and the scenes' revelations to the game.

Quick Stats

Attribute Value
Registered age / era / alignment Timeless / Present / Good
Locations Tranquil Spa; Royal Hot Springs; Virtual Wellness Immersion Center
Ordinary portrait schedule All hours, every day, at all three locations
Favorite stats Strength, Intelligence, Charm, Stamina, Ability, Creativity, Perception and Mystic: 60 each
Special relationship skill Inner Peace, doubles her relationship multiplier when learned
Ordinary gift action None
Listen to Wisdom 20 minutes; 1 base affection; eight daily, shared across locations

Kupie gate Friend and Potion Brewing level 7, paid access
The favorite-stat contributions scale toward the listed values through the shared relationship calculation. Inner Peace is her multiplier skill; her own action list does not include an Inner Peace lesson. Unless marked direct or final, affection below is base affection. Ordinary affection, Kupie affection, NPC intimacy XP and player Erotic XP are separate values.
  1. Meet Nerida at any of her three wellness locations. Use Listen to Wisdom for affection and Take Bath when you need recovery. Both daily counters are shared across the eras.
  2. Enter Present Downtown's Tranquil Spa for The Tranquil Spa introduction. Caring gives its best reward, 9 base total.
  3. At Known, revisit the Spa 9 AM–6 PM for Still Water. At Acquaintance, complete Quiet Waters, from the Spa 7–11 PM.
  4. At Friend, visit Medieval Royal Hot Springs for The Same Water, after Still Water and Quiet Waters. At Close Friend, return there for The Third Answer, then complete The Unasked Question at the same springs.
  5. At Crush, visit Future Prime Sector's Virtual Wellness Immersion Center for A Room for Rivers, after The Third Answer and The Unasked Question. Return to the Present Spa, 7–11 PM, for No Single Shore, then complete One Breath there.
  6. At Friend, her paid Stargazing Date can be started from the Present Spa, 5–7 PM. It does not require a personal H2H or the completed cross-era story chain.
  7. At Romantic, use Private Bath with Nerida, Present Spa, 7–10 PM, in the paid version. Its ordinary routes can be explored independently of finishing her personal story chain.
  8. At 2,000 ordinary affection, try the separate Intimate with Nerida animation at Royal Hot Springs, 8 PM–midnight, in the paid version.
  9. For Kupie, reach Friend in the ordinary game and Potion Brewing level 7 inside Kupie. For family content, finish No Single Shore and One Breath, then satisfy the separate requirements below.
The personal story deliberately moves between eras. Raising affection without changing to the next scene's required location will not trigger that scene.

Three Locations and Shared Daily Services

Era Location Ordinary Nerida portrait
Present / Downtown Tranquil Spa All hours, every day
Medieval / King's Demesne Royal Hot Springs All hours, every day
Future / Prime Sector Virtual Wellness Immersion Center All hours, every day
These schedules have no even/odd-day or completed-story gate. The locations themselves must be accessible through your era/world progression.

Listen to Wisdom

From Stranger, spend 20 minutes for 1 actual base affection, up to eight successful uses per day. All eight cost 160 minutes for 8 base affection before modifiers. Changing location or era does not reset the allowance. The action changes dialogue as affection grows; it does not teach a player skill.

Take Bath

From Stranger, spend 45 minutes and $100 for 3 base affection and Health +50, Energy +50, Calm +50, Satiation +20. Recovery respects the player's normal limits. The bath has ten successful uses daily, shared across all three locations, separately from wisdom listening.
All ten baths cost 450 minutes and $1,000, for 30 base affection plus their recovery. Using both full allowances totals 610 minutes, $1,000 and 38 base affection, before travel and modifiers. You can use fewer baths according to your recovery needs.
Beyond either allowance, the handler submits a negative affection reward, and an exhausted bath attempt does not provide its recovery. Stop at the successful daily limits. There is no ordinary Flowers, Book, Wine or other gift action for Nerida.

Six Personal Automatic Encounters

Each triggers once at the registered location. These are the personal story prerequisites for her H2Hs; the ordinary private bath and Stargazing Date have their own separate gates.
Scene Location / hours Requirements Fixed base Best bonus / total
The Tranquil Spa Present Tranquil Spa, all hours First introduction 5 Caring +4, making 9
Still Water Present Spa, 9 AM–6 PM Introduction complete; Known 20 Caring or Flirty +5, making 25
The Same Water Medieval Royal Hot Springs, all hours Still Water and Quiet Waters H2H complete; Friend 25 Caring or Flirty +5, making 30
The Third Answer Royal Hot Springs, all hours The Same Water complete; Close Friend 25 Caring or Flirty +5, making 30
A Room for Rivers Future Virtual Wellness Immersion Center, all hours The Third Answer and The Unasked Question H2H complete; Crush 25 Caring or Flirty +5, making 30
No Single Shore Present Spa, 7–11 PM A Room for Rivers complete; Crush 25 Caring or Flirty +5, making 30
The introduction's other bonuses are Funny 3 or Flirty 2. Each of the following five scenes gives Funny 4 instead of the five-point Caring/Flirty bonus. These six scenes have no configured player Erotic or NPC intimacy experience award.

Three Heart-to-Hearts

Each completes once, with no additional stat, skill or gift requirement on its answers. Choice points accumulate as base affection. Romantic adds 25 final affection at completion.
H2H Location / start hours Requirements Cost Highest base total
Quiet Waters Present Tranquil Spa, 7–11 PM Acquaintance; Still Water complete 45 minutes 64
The Unasked Question Medieval Royal Hot Springs, all hours Close Friend; Quiet Waters and The Third Answer complete 45 minutes 76
One Breath Present Spa, 7–11 PM Crush; The Unasked Question and No Single Shore complete 45 minutes 97
They have no configured money, Energy or Calm charge beyond time. One Breath records 5 NPC intimacy XP for kissing at round 5. The other two have no NPC intimacy XP reward. None grants configured player Erotic XP.

Best Ordinary Answers

Quiet Waters

Round Highest base-point choice Base points
1 I could get used to sitting this close to you. 10
2 That sounds like something you learned the hard way. 11
3 I came for you, not for a lesson. 14
4 I would. You can put the cup down with me. 14
5 I'm glad, too. 15


The Unasked Question

Round Highest base-point choice Base points
1 I don't want to make you feel examined. 13
2 Her voice can be real even if the place is uncertain. 15
3 If you were waiting, I would call either one home. 15
4 Then you don't have to be the keeper for a moment. 16
5 Then come closer and prove it. 17


One Breath

Round Highest base-point choice Base points
1 I crossed because you were on this side. 17
2 Would you like me closer? 18
3 I was hoping you would say yes. 19
4 I've wanted to kiss you for longer than I can explain. 21
5 May I kiss you again? 22


Heart-to-heart choice points accumulate and use the shared relationship calculation at completion. The listed points are base values, not guaranteed final affection gains.

Stargazing Date

At Friend, start Stargazing Date from the Present Tranquil Spa, 5–7 PM, in the paid version. It costs 120 minutes, $50 and 40 Energy and plays once. It does not require Quiet Waters, One Breath, a private bath or a completed family prerequisite.
Each of its three choices gives Caring 4, Funny 3 or Flirty 4. Choose Caring or Flirty throughout, plus 5 fixed completion base, for 17 base total. The date has no configured player Erotic or NPC intimacy experience reward.

Private Bath with Nerida — Expanded Branching Visit

At Romantic, select Private Bath with Nerida from the Present Spa, 7–10 PM, in the paid version. Entry costs 60 minutes and 20 Energy, with no configured money or gift cost.
Its action declares a one-use daily allowance, but the current spa handler does not record or check a daily use. The implemented conversation is repeatable within its start window and available resources. Its separate 25-point action field is also not an extra award: the current handler starts the conversation, whose choices supply the points below. An old unused completion callback is removed when loading.
The current conversation contains 35 possible rounds across its ordinary and family branches. You do not see all 35 in one visit. Normal completed routes each award 100 base affection, 40 player Erotic XP and 25 Nerida NPC intimacy XP, plus 25 final affection if Romantic is learned. The standard introduction kiss records kissing with zero extra XP, so do not add another five intimacy points.

Ordinary Route Choices

Choose the ordinary opening “Let the springs help you unwind”, then continue through the robe, close conversation and kiss to the round-18 position hub. “Move closer to her” in the early conversation gives 10 base. The next hub choice selects one route:
Hub option Route / later choice Base affection Player Erotic XP Nerida NPC intimacy XP
Oral by the stone edge Original bathhouse oral sequence 100 40 25, oral
Oral in the spring Choose face or mouth at its next choice 100 40 25, oral, with the selected outcome
Lie back together Missionary 100 40 25, missionary
Let Nerida take the lead Cowgirl 100 40 25, cowgirl
Move behind her Doggie 100 40 25, doggie
Follow her bolder invitation Special masturbation / anal sequence 100 40 25 total, special / anal
The original oral path earns 10 + 15 + 20 + 25 + 30 = 100 base over its choices. The new ordinary paths earn the same opening 10 plus 90 at their reward choice, making 100. The two oral-in-spring outcomes select different endings without changing the total rewards.
There are no additional stat, skill or inventory gates on these ordinary hub options. These are alternative routes, rather than rewards stacked together during one visit. The end-of-conversation metadata records the encounter with zero extra XP.
The separate family opening has different prerequisites and rewards, listed below. It does not substitute for one of the ordinary 100-point routes.

Intimate with Nerida — Separate Springs Animation

At 2,000 ordinary affection, request Intimate with Nerida at the Medieval Royal Hot Springs, 8 PM–midnight, in the paid version. It costs 60 minutes and 30 Energy, has its own once-per-day video allowance, and uses an existing game movie.
The action grants 50 base affection and 25 Nerida NPC intimacy XP for oral. It has no configured player Erotic XP award. Her private-bath CYOA is the separate activity that grants the 40 player Erotic XP listed above.
No personal H2H or story completion is an additional requirement for this ordinary animation; its own gate is 2,000 ordinary affection, paid access and the springs' evening action window.

Two Shared Medieval Encounters

These are separate from her six personal scenes and can trigger once when their companion requirements are satisfied. They have no fixed completion affection; the chosen reply supplies the rewards.
Shared scene Location / hours Required participants Best reply for Nerida Base rewards with that reply
The Herbalist's Apprentice General Goods Store, 10 AM–4 PM Nerida, Hailey and Willow Acknowledged; Willow not vacationing Practical Nerida 8; Willow 6; Hailey 6
The Gentle Teacher Crafts / Jewelry Stall, 9 AM–5 PM Nerida and Rose Arthur Acknowledged Patient Nerida 10; Rose Arthur 8
For the Herbalist scene, Supportive gives Nerida 6, Willow 8, Hailey 7; Philosophical gives Nerida 5, Willow 10, Hailey 8. For the teacher scene, Encouraging gives Nerida 8, Rose Arthur 10, and Supportive gives 9 each.
Neither requires the other shared scene or Nerida's later personal H2Hs. They have no configured player Erotic or NPC intimacy XP award.

Kupie — Potion Brewing Unlock and Album

Nerida's Kupie entry requires Friend or higher in the ordinary game, Potion Brewing level 7 in Kupie's Charms jobs, and paid access for locked Kupie NPCs. Ordinary Nerida affection does not replace the Potion Brewing level; her normal bath services do not increase that minigame job.
Kupie tracks its own affection and levels. To advance each level, meet the affection target, commit the required Hearts and Charms, and give the listed gift. The following are the configured base costs before global minigame modifiers:
Transition Kupie affection Hearts Charms Gift consumed
1 → 2 24,000 2,400 3,200 1 Teddy
2 → 3 72,000 4,800 6,400 2 Flowers
3 → 4 288,000 14,400 19,200 1 Book
4 → 5 1,440,000 57,600 76,800 1 Time
5 → 6 8,640,000 288,000 384,000 2 Wine
6 → 7 60,480,000 1,728,000 2,304,000 2 Lingerie
7 → 8 483,840,000 12,096,000 16,128,000 1 Perfume
8 → 9 4,354,560,000 96,768,000 129,024,000 1 Power
9 → 10 43,545,600,000 870,912,000 1,161,216,000 2 Jewelry


Viewing rewards unlock at levels 3, 6, 9 and 10, including her level-ten movie. These album rewards do not grant configured ordinary Nerida affection, player Erotic XP or Nerida NPC intimacy XP.
Claim Nerida Lvl 5 for one Sylph and Nerida Maxed, level 10, for one Crystal. These are claimable achievements separate from viewing a scene. Gifts given in Kupie are part of that system, rather than an ordinary Nerida gift menu.

Optional Family Continuation

This continuation requires pregnancy content unlocked and enabled, Akira's Pregnancy Protocol complete, 2,000 ordinary Nerida affection, 500 Nerida NPC intimacy XP, and both No Single Shore and One Breath complete. It also requires that she is not already pregnant or recovering and that you do not already have a child together.
Use the Private Bath, Present Spa, 7–10 PM, and select its optional family opening when eligible. Complete the authored conversation and commitment path. It uses the normal 60-minute / 20-Energy entry cost and awards 50 base affection, 50 player Erotic XP and 40 Nerida NPC intimacy XP. Conception is recorded at the designated late choice; the ordinary hub's intimacy choices do not replace this family path.
The three automatic milestones occur at Medieval Royal Hot Springs while Nerida is present, with no hour restriction. They grant 5, 7 and 10 base affection, respectively, without additional configured intimacy/player Erotic XP.
  1. The first milestone becomes ready from pregnancy age 11 days. Conception is age zero, with the hidden stage through age ten.
  2. The final-stage milestone becomes ready 20 days after entering the early stage, after the first milestone is complete. Completing it starts the final stage.
  3. Delivery becomes ready 30 days after the final stage starts, and at least one day after the final-stage milestone. With prompt visits, the earliest age is 61 days; delayed visits move it later.
Check In / Family Check In costs 30 minutes, once per game day, and grants 5 direct affection. It can be used at an available portrait; a ready milestone launches through the check-in only at its registered Royal Hot Springs location. No numerical prenatal-visit count is required for delivery by the current configuration. Postpartum recovery lasts eight days, followed by the family stage.
Listen to Wisdom, Take Bath, personal story encounters and Aether Stone bonding remain pregnancy-safe. Her ordinary H2Hs, Stargazing Date, private bath and ordinary springs animation are blocked while she is showing in early/final stages and during postpartum recovery. Nerida has no separately configured pregnancy-intimacy movie action.

Aether Stone Bonding

If you already own the Aether Stone and Nerida is In Love, use Intimate Bonding from her portrait at any of the three wellness locations, all hours.
It costs 60 minutes, raises the Aether Stone level by 1, gives zero ordinary affection, and is once daily shared across the three locations. It has no configured money, Energy, Calm or consumable cost. The stone is retained as a key item.
While owned, each stone level contributes +1 maximum Energy and +1 maximum Calm. This bonding action upgrades the stone; its acquisition belongs to the wider story and is not granted by an ordinary bath.

Completion and Troubleshooting

  • Next story scene missing: use the required era and location, complete the listed earlier scene/H2H, and meet its stage and hours.
  • Private bath missing: reach Romantic, use the Present Spa, 7–10 PM, and check paid access and pregnancy-stage restrictions.
  • Springs animation missing: check 2,000 ordinary affection, Royal Hot Springs, 8 PM–midnight, paid access and its separate daily video use.
  • New private-bath options missing in an older save: the current version refreshes Nerida's saved spa conversation when loading. Use the current game build and reload the save; the older six-round ordinary route is not the complete current bath content.
  • Kupie locked: check Friend, paid access and Potion Brewing level 7.
  • Family opening missing: check No Single Shore, One Breath, Akira's protocol, feature access, 2,000 ordinary affection and 500 Nerida NPC XP.
  • A family milestone is ready elsewhere: visit Royal Hot Springs; ordinary availability in another era does not move the lifecycle plot.
Nerida's configured content does not include a venue invite minigame, personal Christmas scene, numbered brothel-worker training, maid progression or resort vacation. Her ordinary baths, private CYOA, springs movie, Kupie and family continuation use the distinct rules above.
