Quest DescriptionTo help Gorou exorcise his fears, you play the roles of people he is not good at dealinig with. However...
- (Go to Ritou)
- Gorou: So this is Ritou.
- Gorou: Although it looks slightly gloomy, it feels very peaceful here. I don't see any Tenryou Commission soldiers roaming the streets... What a nice place.
- Gorou: Okay, let's get started! I'll be me, and you be a shrewd and savvy businesswoman.
Oh, it's you. You came all this way to see me?- Welcome to Tsukumomono Groceries, we've got everything you need...
- Gorou: Hi, so... a lot of the soldiers have been complaining about a shortage of blankets recently.
- Gorou: So, uh... ten blankets, please.
- 20,000 Mora.
- Gorou: Okay, I'll settle the check right away...
- That's it? Just like that?
- Gorou: The price seems pretty cheap to me. In which case, no need to haggle, right?
- 200,000 Mora, then.
- Gorou: I think that's still not too bad... Is that supposed to be really expensive?
- Gorou: I'm sorry, in the past, Her Excellency has always handled procurement of military supplies.
- Gorou: I don't know the specific prices of these items, so I never really know how to respond...
- Gorou: This won't get us anywhere. I have to haggle to give you the chance to use your wily tricks on me. What do we do now?
- Let's switch to something that you're more interested in.
- Gorou: Something I'm more interested in? Hmm...
- Gorou: Maybe, um... cake?
- 100,000 Mora for a slice of cake.
- Gorou: That's so expensive! I know what a fair price is when it comes to cake!
- If you want to bargain, you'll have to do as I say.
- If you can do one little thing for me...
- Gorou: Wait a sec, if you think about this from another angle...
- Gorou: A cake that costs 100,000 Mora per slice must be so much better than a regular cake!
- Gorou: Lemme see, I've been saving up recently — I think I should have enough...
- ???
- Hold on.
- Gorou: So... there isn't really a kind of cake that costs 100,000 Mora per slice?
- I really don't think so...
- I... don't know...
- Gorou: What a shame.
- Gorou: I feel like role-playing as a vendor is a little outside our area of expertise. Hmm, what kind of person do we both see regularly enough to impersonate convincingly?
- I think I've met Fatui with the right kind of personality...
- Gorou: Fatui? Then it looks like a trip into the wild is in order.
- Gorou: Let's go give it a try!
Oh, it's you. You came all this way to see me?- (Go to the wilds of Narukami Island where the Fatui are)
- Gorou: I've dealt with Fatui before, but I always end up against those big stocky guys who are much taller than me.
- Gorou: I'm sure I must train just as hard as they do every day, but somehow, I still don't have the muscles to show for it. Maybe I'll start to see the results in a few more years.
- I can't wait to see that.
- Gorou: Right? Haha... I mean, at the very least, I need to look more muscular than my subordinates.
- I like you just the way you are.
- Gorou: Really? That's very kind. But still, I think that I should aim to look more muscular than my subordinates at the very least.
- Gorou: I know that people's trust in me has nothing to do with my size, but if I were taller and bulkier, they'd be able to identify me from behind more easily when charging into battle.
- Gorou: That way, our forces wouldn't scatter so easily. As long as I was on the field, they'd be able to follow me.
- Gorou: Ah, enough of that. Let's get back to it! Who are you going to role-play as this time?
- The more, the merrier!
- Are you... here to play with me?
- Let me amuse myself a little...
- Gorou: What!
- Gorou: I smell danger!
- Hehe, it's just me.
- Looks like I was pretty convincing.
- Gorou: Really? Huh, for a moment there, I could have sworn the actual Fatui were right here...
- Gorou: No, wait (TravelerTraveler)... behind you!
- Gorou: It wasn't my imagination, they really are here. Prepare to engage!
- (Defeat the attacking Fatui)
- (After the battle)
- Gorou: It's all fun and games until the real Fatui show up, huh...
- Gorou: That little interruption has really ruined the mood for me. Let's not do any more Fatui impressions for today.
- Gorou: It seems in poor taste after the trouble they caused in Watatsumi Island, anyway... Do we have any other options?
- There's only one thing for it.
- Time for plan Z.
- Gorou: Hmm. What do you mean...?
- Let's cut to the chase!
- I'll imitate the person you fear the most.
- Gorou: !!!
- Gorou: I—Isn't this moving a little too fast?
- Gorou: Her Excellency advocates slow and steady progress in all things, and cautions against trying to advance too quickly.
- Gorou: To clarify, it's not that I'm scared, it's just that I don't know if the time is right...
- Be brave and give it a try.
- It's time to take this step.
- Gorou: ...
- Gorou: I guess you're right. Thanks for your encouragement, it's not like me to shy away from a challenge like this.
- Gorou: Let's do it — time for a make-or-break training exercise!
That Didn't Work?[]
- (Hit the Inazuma City streets)
- Gorou: And we're back.
- Ready?
- Gorou: Don't worry. My head's in the game this time.
- Gorou: I am a high-ranking military officer of Watatsumi Island and the general of the resistance. Whatever tricks you've got up your sleeve, you're not going to get to me.
- Gorou: So bring it on!
- It sounds like you won't mind if I don't go easy on you?
- How adorable.
- Gorou: This feels like...
- Let's see that gorgeous tail!
- Go on, let me rub your ears!
- Gorou: Yes, it definitely feels like...
- Like Yae Miko?
- Gorou: No, not even slightly.
- ???
- Gorou: It's not that you do a bad impression of her. More like... something is missing.
- Gorou: I finally realized it when you were talking to me just now. I think that maybe what I'm really afraid of is her knowing smile and her piercing gaze.
- Gorou: It just makes me feel like all my secrets have nowhere to hide, like she can just peer in and see them. But it's different with you. I trust you, so I don't feel I need to hide my secrets in the first place.
- Gorou: Even when you're imitating the way she speaks, I don't feel afraid. Because we've fought side by side in the past, and I know I don't have to have my guard up around you.
- That makes sense...
- Gorou: *sigh*... But it also means that this training won't work.
- Gorou: I just have to accept that this is a weakness of mine, as much as it pains me to do so.
- Gorou: The thought of having to live with this weakness forever is frustrating...
- Why don't we go buy some cake?
- Surely some cake will cheer you up.
- Gorou: Are you serious? I'd love that!
- Gorou: I haven't eaten anything sweet in a long time...
- Gorou: Off we go! Let's go buy some cake!
- You go to buy some cake together with Gorou
- Gorou: Alright! The next step is to find somewhere nice and quiet...
Step DescriptionThe training hasn't been all that successful, but having some cake with Gorou is pretty alright too!
- (Go to the spot)
- Gorou: Mmm... mmm... this is so good!
- You don't get to eat cake very often?
- Gorou: It's certainly a rarity in the camp.
- Gorou: It's seen as a luxury item in the ranks of the resistance... we have special meals on occasion, but even then, it usually means meat and wine — not dessert.
- Gorou: So, thank you for treating me to some cake.
- Gorou: The only downside with Narukami Island's pastries is that they're such exquisite things, you can't just chow down on them.
- Gorou: But as Her Excellency says, a general needs to show patience and restraint...
- Want to try my cake?
- I don't mind sharing it if you want some.
- Gorou: Wow, uh... d—don't mind if I do!
- Gorou: It's so sweet...
