Go to Black Market, pick Herb of Serenity.

If you get a Cait/Puff on the first screen, kill with Fire M.
West Tropu'hopu Traverse
Kill battle with Ice M.
Tag Tropu'hopu. TP Cropdale.
You can do this in either order. Cropdale has the advantage of letting you see if you got a Cait/Puff. I like the WM warp movement more with New Delsta more.

Kill Montwise battle with Fire M
If you need to kill Montwise battle with Thunder M, either do Night + Ruinous Kick x2 + Thunder M, or day ASA break into Thunder M
Caits and Puffs
With 1000 or less extra experience, it's optimal to still go for BG. Getting enough JP for Extra Experience before Assassins nets you 720 more EXP. To get this efficiently it takes a Queen Puff + a Cait, and possibly a bit more JP on top.
+1250 EXP (Cultured)
Take 2 Merry Hills battles, both day. Decent chance you will need Sai battles.
+1500 EXP (Cait + Puff)
Take 1 Merry Hills day, might need Sai battles.
King Puff & Chubby Cait
King Puff teaches Osvald Extra Experience.
Both skip the money in the house. Chubby Cait sells Poetry of the Soul in Chapter 5.

Addendum
Faster Duorduor (not recommended)
You need Gus before Duorduor T2, both characters to be healthy, and for Duorduor to hit Gus T1.
The fight saves ~2 seconds. It's also risky if Agnea isn't the one healed on T8, her dying to Writhe is a range.

Older Cait + Puff notes
1 Cait or 2 Puff
Will need to kill 2 Merry Hills battles (preferably day) and up to 2 Sai battles. Might still be short afterwards, depending on what Merry Hills battles you got. Worst battles leave you short about 100.
1 Cultured Cait
Take 1 day 1 night battle. Might need Sai battles.
1 Queen Puff
Post Merry Hills battle, want Osvald to have >= 1522JP (Assuming T1 kill bonus). If short, go tag Sai early and kill stuff on the way. Then teach Osvald Extra Experience. Will want to take day Merry Hills battles. Will likely need both Sai battes for EXP as well, depends on Merry Hills groups. With day Merry Hills and night Sai should have enough.
Cait + Puff
Can take night Merry Hills, but if worst battle will need 2 Sai battles.
1 Queen Puff + 1 Puff
Extra Experience Assassins, and possibly 1 Sai battle covers it. Can opt for night Merry Hills, but if worst battle will need 2 Sai battles.
King Puff
Extra Experience, and 1/2 Sai battle should be enough.
Anything not mentioned doesn't need anything extra.
No Caits/Puffs does BG
