why: Satisfies the 10R component of Catania's Cai-route gate, since quests are the largest single renown source and Kindness Quests are Cai's route-specific renown quest type.
Creek joins in Part II War Chapter 2 by being defeated in battle, but only if the Part I subquest "My Late Sister's Accessory" was cleared first, and missing that subquest forfeits the recruit.
Defeat Creek in the Part II War Chapter 2 battle to recruit him, having already cleared "My Late Sister's Accessory" in Part I.
why: Satisfies the gate component that Creek joins in Part II Ch. 2 only after being defeated in battle.
