Octopath Traveler 2 - Looting Montwise

Awhile ago we got an item from fighting a giant moth, but now we are able to put it to use, unlocking a spare cleric license when we get our initial one as well. We also pass a dungeon that has a somewhat valuable accessory inside, but we will be coming back for that later.

Upon reaching Montwise, we commence the usual looting, but this town has an annoying layout that makes traveling it a pain. We have to pass through the library to reach the wall of the city, and the library has multiple floors. Then on the other part of town, we have the coliseum, which will play a role in Hikari's chapter.

The most important thing here though is most likely the side quest inside the library. We are tasked with finding a trio of books, one of which is from the original game. This is one of the quests that must be done to fight the game's superboss, so it is something we must do, but not something we can do completely yet. We did come across one of the books so far, and it will be a little while before we come across the second one.
