I agree with your choice to make an offering out of the elixr.

I'm sorry to say, however, that it's too much even for me to handle.

So, please, refrain from casting it into this mountain.

I... can't do that.

I was ordered to burn this elixir in the place that's closest to the moon.

No matter what may happen, I cannot go against the emperor's decree.

Even if that means you have to go against a god?

Indeed.

If that's the case....

To the northwest of this mountain lies a rather unsightly peak called Yatsugatake.

Heading there should serve your purpose well.

...Yatsugatake? It's far shorter than this mountain, isn't it? Going there sounds.... This sounds like Iwakasa speaking, so Shuga likely miscolored the speech bubble.
