The first chapter of Castti and Ochette's joint venture takes place in Cropdale, Agnea's starting location in the Leaflands. To unlock it you'll need to complete the second chapter of Castti's story, as well as any one of the second chapters in Ochette's story. If you don't want to begin the chapter immediately upon arrival in town you can speak to the Tavern Keeper in the Tavern to get things rolling. The Tavern is right by the bridge into Cropdale, so you can't miss it.
Castti and Ochette will discuss food as they enter town, and Ochette promptly catches wind of something tasty nearby. Castti purchases a skewer of meat for the Hunter, though it proves... less-than-satisfying. Apparently the hunting is poor lately. The duo decide to go investigate the nearby Animal Trail. Head north, to the Forest Path, then take a right on the northern path to find a canoe dock that will take you to the trail.

Ochette will notice some tasty fruits upon entering the Forest Path, which raises some questions - questions that are cut off by the arrival of a Dire Duorduor. The Duorduor is basically the same enemy that you fought as Agnea, if you did her introductory chapter, and is a pretty basic melee foe. Not a big deal this time around, though if its giving you trouble you may want to debuff its physical attack.
Pursue the Duorduor east into the woods. You'll soon arrive at a small roundabout that branches off in two directions. Go south to start and you'll find a chest containing an Herb of Serenity. The northern route will bring you to a clearing with a cut scene, as well as a save point. Use the save point if it makes you feel better, but there's no danger ahead. Watch what happens to wrap up the story... at least for now. Chapter complete!
