Dialogue[]
Quest DescriptionDuring the Fontinalia Festival, children carry baskets and head up and down the streets asking for candies. As you roam the vibrant festive streets, you might just meet some familiar faces...
- (Upon obtaining quest)
- Paimon: Hey, have you seen The Steambird? It seems Fontaine has been celebrating some kind of festival recently. Things are looking pretty lively in the square, they even changed the banners!
- Paimon: Huh, there are a lot of people holding Kameras... Oh, and they've got candy and snacks, too! Looks like everyone's having a good time!
- Paimon: Let's go have a look for ourselves!
- (Approach the plaza)
- Xavier: ...Seriously!? But Mr. Morris, I don't understand, sir! How can you only be telling me this now!?
- Morris: *sigh* I'm afraid that there's really nothing I can do. I'm really facing a crisis, my hands are tied!
- Xavier: But what about my film!?
- Morris: Well... I'm afraid you'll have to come up with something on your own. Take it from me, sometimes you just have to let things go. The same goes for this film festival...
- (Morris leaves as Xavier, and the Traveler and Paimon in the distance, look on. Xavier then despondently hangs his head.)
- Xavier: ...
- Paimon: Hey, isn't that Xavier? So he's back in Fontaine now.
- (The two approach Xavier)
- Paimon: Xavier!
- Xavier: Ooh! Why, if it isn't the dear (TravelerTraveler) and Paimon! I really didn't expect to bump into you here at this time...
It's been a while.- How have you been?
- Xavier: Well, I was doing just fine... until I received some terrible news just now. The investor I was working with for my upcoming film has fallen upon some hard times, and is no longer able to provide the promised amount of funds...
- Paimon: Can't you just find a different investor?
- Xavier: Unfortunately, that's not how it works... We had signed an agreement specific to the Fontinalia Film Festival, stipulating that I cannot work with any other investors until the festival has finished.
- Paimon: The Fontinalia Film Festival? What's that?
- Xavier: Oh, is this your first time participating in Fontaine's Fontinalia Film Festival? Then allow me to fill you in.
- Xavier: The Fontinalia Festival was established to commemorate the legendary Lochknights who went on a quest to search for the Oceanids, and eventually welcomed the Hydro Archon Egeria.
- Xavier: The holiday is deeply connected to the founding of Fontaine as well as its unique laws and trials. It's one of the most important festivals for this nation.
- Paimon: But what's with that weird expression on your face? It's like you're trying really hard to remember something...
- Xavier: Ah, I was just trying to recall the exact description from the books. In order to avoid any... uh, unnecessary arguments over semantics, I usually try to recite things straight from the source.
- Paimon: Well, either way, Paimon thinks she gets it now! It's just like the Windblume Festival in Mondstadt and the Lantern Rite in Liyue!
- Xavier: Yes, those are festivals of a similar variety! Who doesn't like a good festival? And just like those of other nations, Fontaine will hold a plethora of events around this time each year.
- Xavier: To commemorate the Lochknights, people will imitate them by putting on special costumes, raising golden cups, and going door to door asking for pure water.
- Xavier: But a few years ago, Lady Furina started to find the whole idea a little drab, and so decided to change the part about pure water to sweets.
- Paimon: That really doesn't surprise Paimon at all...
- Xavier: The whole thing seems more akin to a carnival now, and it's quite popular among the kids. Every year, you can hear a bunch of them saying, "Trial or treat!"
- Paimon: Oh, that sounds pretty fun! But how does that connect back to the Film Festival you mentioned?
- Xavier: Ah yes, it appears I've strayed off-topic... I just got too excited after seeing you. Let me get back to the point.
- Xavier: The Fontinalia Film Festival is an event proposed by the Fontaine Film Association this year. Now that film technology has matured as a medium, it's the perfect time to introduce more people to the art form.
- Xavier: During this time, people may submit films to be evaluated, and the entry with the highest score will be given the "Furina Award" by the association.
- Paimon: The what award?
- Xavier: The Furina Award. You know, after the Hydro Archon? They coined it while Lady Furina was still in power, but uh... Even though things have changed, no one has made any motion to update the name.
- Xavier: Perhaps everyone still thinks of it as a pretty appropriate name. Even though she isn't the Hydro Archon any longer, Lady Furina is still Fontaine's superstar. Anyone with eyes can see the way she shines on the stage.
- Paimon: Huh, alright... Guess the name does work pretty well when you put it that way...
- Xavier: *sigh* But who would've guessed there would be an issue with the funding... How will I ever explain this to Miss Chiori, not to say all the other actors who traveled all the way here from Inazuma?
- Paimon: Chiori? Sounds familiar... Where have we heard that name before?
She runs the clothing store in the Court of Fontaine...- Chioriya Boutique...
- Xavier: Yes, that's her! I asked her to oversee the event's art direction, including the design of the actors' costumes and appearances.
- Paimon: Oh, Paimon remembers now! Navia said that her clothes were designed by Chiori! And Kirara's outfit, too!
- Xavier: How to describe her... Uh, well, she tends to be pretty direct, and can be very forceful when it comes to dealing with people. The fashion world in Fontaine has dubbed her "The Thundering Seamstress."
- Xavier: Her remarkable designs have led many Fontainians to become very interested in Inazuma.
- Xavier: Anyway, Chiori is acquainted with all the actors I've invited from Inazuma. Without her help, I don't think I would have been able to get such an international cast for the film. She really is a kind soul.
- Paimon: Who are the actors from Inazuma? Do we know them?
- Xavier: Why don't the two of you accompany me to the aquabus station to welcome them?
- Xavier: Judging from the time, the aquabus should be arriving shortly. Chiori will be waiting to meet me there as well.
- (Approach Chiori at the Clementine Line in the Court Region Waterway Hub)
- Xavier: Uh, Miss Chiori...
- Chiori: Your talk with the investor sure went fast. The aquabus hasn't even arrived yet.
- Chiori: Oh? And who are they?
- Xavier: Ah, allow me to introduce you. This is (TravelerTraveler) and Paimon.
- Chiori: Pleased to meet you.
- Paimon: Likewise! We've heard the owner of Chioriya Boutique is a skilled seamstress, so it's a real pleasure to finally meet you in person!
- The way Navia's wardrobe comes together is really exceptional.
- Chiori: Why, thank you. I strove to create an outfit that matched her high social station as the Demoiselle.
- The concept behind Kirara's outfit is really original.
- Chiori: Thank you. I just wanted to make sure she wouldn't always look like a cat that had been unceremoniously dropped in a bucket of paint.
- Chiori: So tell me, what happened? I can tell the conversation didn't go quite as expected.
- Xavier: Ah... Well, it's like this...
- (Xavier explains the situation)
- Chiori: ...
- Xavier: I know! I know, Chiori, you don't have to say it. You did remind me that this investor was a little bit sketchy.
- Chiori: Yes, there's no doubt about that.
- Xavier: But how could I pass it up... He offered me twice as much as the others.
- Chiori: And therein lies the problem.
- Xavier: Yes, but just put yourself in my shoes. After obtaining such an excellent script, it's only natural that I would want to make the most of the film.
- Xavier: The budgets that the others had proposed were nowhere near enough. It's difficult to find someone willing to front such a large amount of Mora, so...
- Paimon: Don't be sad, Xavier. We might be able to help scrounge some Mora together for you!
- Xavier: Thank you, Paimon. That means a lot to me. But the cost of the film is staggering... I'm afraid that any Mora we can "scrounge" together in a short amount of time won't even be able to cover the actors' fees...
- Chiori: We need to move on. What's happened has already happened, and there's no changing it, but now's not the time to give up.
- Xavier: What? You're saying that... you have a plan?
- Chiori: No, that's not what I mean. I'm simply saying I wouldn't give up just yet.
- Chiori: The actors I recommended aren't just after Mora, after all.
- (Meanwhile, on the aquabus)
- Yoimiya: ...Really!? Then where do you live?
- Aeval: We Melusines live in Merusea Village. The only way to enter is from underwater!
- Yoimiya: Whoa, then you must be pretty tired after work every day, right? I mean, you have to swim all that way just to go home.
- (If the player has not met Yoimiya yet, an introductory note appears on screen)
- Yoimiya — Frolicking Flames
The present owner of Naganohara Fireworks. Hero to the children, Queen of the Summer Festival — also known as Yoimiya.
Inazuma has yearly festivals that all feature fireworks painstaking made by her. Her creativity itself burns hot and brightly, and brings people endless, incomparable joy.
Yoimiya's heart has yet to lose its childlike innocence, and she often plays simple but evergreen games with the children, or goes with them to find some shiny objects. The purity of these children brings her great happiness.
Though fireworks are fleeting things, their radiance remains in peoples' hearts. This miracle is momentary yet also eternal, and this is how she "protects" those around her.
- Aeval: You're so thoughtful! But some Melusines choose to live in the Court of Fontaine because it's so much more convenient.
- (The aquabus arrives at its destination)
- Kamisato Ayato: This is our stop.
- (If the player has not met Kamisato Ayato yet, an introductory note appears on screen)
- Kamisato Ayato — Pillar of Fortitude
The young but accomplished clan head of the Yashiro Commission's Kamisato Clan, Kamisato Ayato, is gentle and polite in his manners, and is a highly capable operator.
On the surface, he seems like a down-to-earth, elegant, and proper fellow who does not enjoy public appearances or showing off.
But those who know him well know never to underestimate him — for it was he who steadied the Kamisato Clan ship when the previous Commissioner had fallen gravely ill.
His present position is not one that could have been secured without extraordinary skills or brilliance. So, beware his immaculate smile all the same.
- Yoimiya: Oh? We've arrived? But I haven't even finished chatting with Aeval yet!
- Kamisato Ayaka: I also enjoyed Aeval's introductions to Fontaine along the way. Everything you described was so clear and detailed that we can't help but want to hear more.
- (If the player has not met Kamisato Ayaka yet, an introductory note appears on screen)
- Kamisato Ayaka — Frostflake Heron
The lady of the Yashiro Commission's Kamisato Clan, Kamisato Ayaka. Dignified and elegant, intelligent and tenacious.
All know that her character is unimpeachable, and that she is a gentle and approachable soul deeply loved by the people.
This is because she often represents the Yashiro Commission as it conducts affairs among the common folk.
But while she is often viewed as a restrained, collected individual, few understand that beneath the fame and the name, the young girl's heart is still filled with an unknown tenderness and loveliness.
- Aeval: Thank you so much! I'm usually working here on this aquabus, so I hope I'll have the chance to see you again. There are still many more places I'd like to introduce to you.
- (The three disembark the aquabus)
- Chiori: Welcome to the Court of Fontaine.
- Kamisato Ayaka: Ah, Chiori! You sure have changed a lot. This is the first time we've seen you since you left Inazuma.
- Chiori: I haven't realized it's been so long. I was in such a rush when I left that I didn't even get to say goodbye.
- Kamisato Ayato: Thank you for extending the invitation, Mr. Xavier. I'm looking forward to a fruitful trip here in Fontaine.
- Xavier: It's an honor to have the head of the Kamisato Clan visit us.
- Paimon: So they are who you meant when you said you had actors coming from Inazuma?
- Kamisato Ayaka: Oh? It's (TravelerTraveler) and Paimon!
- Yoimiya: Wow, what a coincidence! Ayaka and I were just talking about you on the way here. Are you also here for the film?
- Paimon: We just ran into Xavier earlier, and came over with him.
- Yoimiya: Hehe, but I'm not an actress. Sir Kamisato and Lady Ayaka are the real actors here! I'm just tagging along with Ayaka to have a good time together.
- I thought I would always get the lead role.
- Xavier: Er, about that... I mean, how was I supposed to contact you when I was making preparations for the film? I figured you were probably busy, and I didn't want to disturb you...
- Xavier: So I could only keep you in the back of my mind while I sought other actors to play the lead roles in this film.
- Kamisato Ayaka: I had been thinking about a surprise reunion with you during our trip here... But you still managed to surprise me first.
- Xavier: Oh, so you all know each other already? My, what a coincidence! What are the chances everyone could be brought together here like this?
- Xavier: Why don't we go to Hotel Debord and catch up over a meal? I've already made a reservation.
- Paimon: Huh, did you reserve two spots for us, too?
- Xavier: Yes, of course, of course! I'll be sure to tell the boss to serve a few more delicious dishes, just to make sure there'll be enough food.
- Kamisato Ayato: Very well. Then please kindly lead the way, Mr. Xavier.
- (The group relocates to the fountain at Court of Fontaine: Vasari Passage)
- Yoimiya: Wow! The buildings in Fontaine are so tall... just look at how big they are!
- Kamisato Ayaka: And there's the fountain that Aeval mentioned earlier. It really is a magnificent sight.
- Yoimiya: And look at that huge spinning sphere... where does it get its power? Wait a sec, could it be one of those clockwork meka we've heard so much about?
- (Enter Hotel Debord)
-
- (The group is seated around a round table, having just finished eating)
- Yoimiya: Mmm, so this is what food from Fontaine is like! It sure is different from what we have in Inazuma. How should I describe it? It seems like you have to go through a lot more... steps to make them. And the flavor has many layers, too!
- Xavier: Ah yes, when I first went to Inazuma, I actually thought the food there tasted a little too bland. It took some time for me to get used to it.
- Kamisato Ayato: Let's get back to the purpose of this trip for a moment, shall we? How have preparations for the film been coming along, Mr. Xavier?
- Xavier: Well, I've already assembled most of the film crew... A lighting specialist, a prop manager, and a costume designer... I've also bought the copyrights from the novel's author.
- Yoimiya: Oh, it's called "The Two Musketeers," right? I read the script you sent me on the way here, the story is pretty good!
- Xavier: Originally, I was planning to start filming as soon as Sir Kamisato and Lady Ayaka arrived in Fontaine. But, uh... I'm afraid I've run into a bit of a problem.
- Kamisato Ayato: Oh? What is it?
- Xavier: It has to do with the film's investor, Mr. Morris. He suddenly informed me this morning that he's encountered some financial trouble, and will be unable to release to me the amount of funding agreed upon...
- Kamisato Ayato: It's said that Fontaine's legal system is well-developed. If he has violated the contract, then can't you simply take him to court over the matter?
- (Xavier stands and walks over to the railing)
- Xavier: Ah, well... I'm still more concerned about filming... Even if I were to take him to court, I'm afraid it would take months before the case could even be heard.
- Kamisato Ayato: Then, is there a way we could raise funds ourselves to solve the problem?
- Xavier: I've considered that option, too. But, unfortunately, it's difficult to gather such a large amount of Mora on such short notice. Besides, we have to consider the Film Festival's submission deadline...
- (Ayato and Ayaka look at each other)
- Kamisato Ayato: ...
- (The two approach Xavier)
- Kamisato Ayato: Mr. Xavier, if Ayaka and I were willing to perform for free, would that resolve the problem you are currently facing?
- Xavier: What? N—No, out of the question. To have you come all this way just to act for free? ...No, no, no, that won't do.
- Kamisato Ayaka: There's no need to worry, Mr. Xavier. My brother and I had actually intended to work for free after receiving your invitation.
- Kamisato Ayaka: Inazuma has only recently reopened its borders, and needs to strengthen its relations and cultural ties with other nations. We didn't have many collaboration projects with Fontaine in the past, so we hoped this trip would serve as a good start for the future.
- (As Ayaka speaks, the rest of the group rises from their seats to approach Xavier)
- Kamisato Ayato: Indeed, you could say that's the real reason why the Yashiro Commission agreed to come to Fontaine.
- Xavier: I understand, but... having you two act for free just doesn't seem right.
- Kamisato Ayato: Not at all. While we're officially here to conduct a "cultural survey" of sorts, we must express our sincerity if we want to establish formal cultural ties with your nation.
- Kamisato Ayato: This film will serve as proof of friendly cooperation and cultural exchange between Inazuma and Fontaine. It's my hope that the film can be finished and released as smoothly as possible.
- Kamisato Ayato: If you still don't feel comfortable with this arrangement, I would also be more than happy to be introduced to some other renowned individuals in Fontaine's literary and artistic circles.
- Xavier: ...
- Xavier: Alright, I'll do as you say. Thank you... Thank you so much. I'll make sure to cobble together enough Mora now, even if it means selling my house, my Kamera, and every single family heirloom!
- Chiori: C'mon now, no need to go that far. I'll also help you out as a brand sponsor.
- We can help, too...
- Just say that you got our contribution from some personal friends.
- Yoimiya: Me too! Even though I didn't bring much Mora to spend on this trip... It's still better than nothing!
- Xavier: You are too kind, all of you! *sniff* I... I really don't know how to...
- Chiori: Alright, enough about that. Now that we have Xavier's savings, my support, and two leads who are willing to act for free... I think we will be able to make this happen.
- Chiori: So instead of Mora, you'll help with filming and production.
- Paimon: Oh, but how can we help with that? We don't know much about making a film...
- Chiori: Alright, pull yourself together, Xavier. Tell us if there are still any open positions left among the crew.
- Xavier: ...Oh, al—alright. Let me think... we still need a Kamera operator, a clapper loader, and someone to manage logistics.
- Xavier: I originally wanted to personally serve as director, but I've been too busy working as the producer... So, the positions of director and director's assistant will also need to be filled...
- Paimon: Paimon knows what the director and the logistics support person do, but what's a clapper loader?
- Xavier: The clapper loader is responsible for using the clapperboard to record and organize the information of each shot when the Kamera operator begins shooting. The work requires both patience and careful attention to detail.
- Paimon: A clapperboard? Oh, you mean the thing they hold that goes CLAP whenever they start filming?
- Chiori: Yes, that's right. Are you interested in that job?
- Paimon: For sure! Paimon's always wanted to try that!
- Chiori: Alright, then you'll be our clapper loader. I can find someone from the store to help with logistics. What do you think, Xavier?
- Xavier: Fine by me. As for our Kamera operator, I was thinking of letting (TravelerTraveler) take the role.
- Paimon: Oh, (hehe/
sheshe)'s great when it comes to using a Kamera! Paimon can't even count how many things we've taken photos of during our journey. - Xavier: Yes, that's also what I was thinking. I noticed (TravelerTraveler) had an eye for photography and composition when we worked together previously.
- Kamisato Ayaka: I'm sure that's due to (TravelerTraveler)'s journey across Teyvat and all the places they've seen. After so many adventures, using a Kamera must be second nature by now.
- Xavier: What do you say, Traveler? Are you interested in the job?
- As long as I'll be able to help.
- Lights, Kamera, action!
- Xavier: Thank you, it really means a lot to me! C'mon, friend, let me give you a big, warm hug!
- Uh, I think we'd better get to work.
- Paimon: So all that's left for us to find is a director and an assistant.
- Yoimiya: Oh! Me, me, me! I want to be the director's assistant! All I need to do is help the director, right? I can handle that!
- Xavier: Alright, then all we need is a director... *sigh* All the well-known directors in Fontaine are probably also busy working on their own films these days... I'm not sure who will have time to help.
- Paimon: Oh! Furina helped out a theater troupe recently by serving as an artistic consultant. She could be a good director, right? Besides, it's not like she has anything else to do right now...
- Xavier: F—Furina?
- Xavier: Uh, do you really think Lady Furina would be willing to help us with our humble project?
- Kamisato Ayaka: Isn't that the name of Fontaine's Hydro Archon? My brother has already informed me about what happened here in Fontaine.
- Paimon: Yep, that's her! She helped out a theater troupe not too long ago, and now she's taking up work as a director.
- Xavier: Well, uh...
- Chiori: Ah, I saw that musical. Her performance was perfect, and the storyboards were also excellent.
- Chiori: Don't let her former identity intimidate you. She's the best candidate we can think of right now. You'll never know until you give her a shot.
- Xavier: Fine... You're right, Chiori. I'll do anything for the sake of my film... anything!
- Xavier: Whew... Then I'll have to ask (TravelerTraveler) and Paimon to show me the way to Lady Furina's residence. I just hope she'll agree to help.
- Kamisato Ayato: Do you need us to also come along?
- Xavier: No, there's no need to trouble you with this. Besides, you've just arrived in Fontaine, and I'm sure there are many places you would like to visit.
- Xavier: Just leave this task to me... It's part of my duties as the producer.
- Kamisato Ayato: Very well, then we'll be waiting to hear the good news.
- Chiori: I'll go with you. By the way, you might want to consider bringing a gift.
- Paimon: And don't worry, we won't simply drop you off at Furina's place! We know Furina pretty well by now, so having some familiar faces there should help your chances... Besides, the whole thing was our idea in the first place!
- Xavier: Alright, then I'll start making preparations. As for the gift...
- Kamisato Ayaka: Hmm, a gift for someone who was once seen as the Hydro Archon. I wonder what she would like...
- Xavier: I recall that Lady Furina once fancied a clockwork ring, so perhaps I should get another exquisite clockwork contraption for her?
- Yoimiya: Huh? Can't we just bring some desserts? Like the Fontinalia Mousse?
- Paimon: Hmm, but wouldn't that be a little too cheap? She does like desserts though...
- Yoimiya: Isn't the Fontinalia Festival happening right now? I heard Aeval tell us on the aquabus that Furina introduced the tradition of going door-to-door and asking for sweets.
- Yoimiya: To do something like that... she must have a real sweet tooth.
- Chiori: I agree with Yoimiya. If the gift is too fancy, it might actually make her feel more uncomfortable.
- Paimon: Alright then! Let's go buy some Fontinalia Mousse!
- (As the Traveler and Paimon buy Fontinalia Mousse from Leone, Chiori and Xavier wait a short distance away)
- Xavier: But will that really be enough? We'll be asking her to do a lot of work, you know.
- Chiori: Hmm, you're right. We need to further sweeten the deal.
- Paimon: Huh? You want something even sweeter than Fontinalia Mousse?
- Chiori: Yes, we'll need a gift that's sweeter than any dessert in the world.
- Paimon: But what could that be?
- Chiori: Your words of praise.
- (Talk to Kamisato Ayaka or Yoimiya, optional)
- Kamisato Ayaka: You go ahead, no need to worry about us.
- Yoimiya: I hope Furina will like the gifts we prepared. Oh, and if you still think we should get something else for her, just let me know! I should be able to make some fireworks.
- (Talk to Kamisato Ayato, optional)
- Kamisato Ayato: Looking forward to the good news.
- (Approach Furina's apartment)
- Paimon: We're here, this is where Furina lives.
- Xavier: Okay, I'll go knock on the door.
- Xavier: ...
- Furina: *yawn* Coming, coming... Seriously, who's knocking before afternoon tea...
- Furina: Huh? Who are you?
- (If the player has not met Furina yet, an introductory note appears on screen)
- Furina — Endless Solo of Solitude
She who once stood above the grandest opera house as the Hydro Archon, looking down upon all below her, Furina, has now left the stage and entered the mortal, mundane world.
Though she no longer acts as the Archon, there are many in the Court of Fontaine who still revere her and consider her an idol, and her passionate personality that draws her to the spotlight cannot be changed overnight.
Compelling stories overflowing with emotion are still being told and performed, just as before. Only from now on, Furina finally needs not stand on high looking on from afar.
Though the curtain has fallen on her life as a "god," her life as a human has only just begun.
- Xavier: Lady Furina, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Xavier, a film director.
- Furina: Hello. Oh? Is that (TravelerTraveler) and Paimon I see behind you? And who's this...?
- Chiori: I'm Chiori.
- Furina: Ah, the one from Chioriya Boutique! Hello, hello.
- Furina: So what are you all doing here? Do you need something?
- Paimon: Did you just get up, Furina? It's already past noon, you know...
- Ahem... Paimon...
- Try to be nice, remember?
- Paimon: Huh? Oh, uh... Paimon means the weather is so nice in the afternoon, and the sun so warm, just like how you make us feel! Sleeping in late is a really smart idea!
- (As Paimon dramatically voices her support of Furina's lifestyle, Xavier and the Traveler provide additional gestures of approval in the background)
- Furina: Ah, no... I was just up late last night reading some novels... What does sleeping in have to do with the weather?
- Xavier: Ahem, this is a small gift we prepared for you, Lady Furina. We hope you'll like it.
- Furina: No need to be so formal, I'm just a regular person like everyone else now. Oh! Is this Fontinalia Mousse? It's one of my favorites!
- Xavier: That's great! So, actually, there's something we need your help with...
- Xavier: Given your renowned passion and understanding of drama, I would like to ask you to serve as the director of our film crew.
- Furina: Huh? But didn't you just say that you're a director?
- Xavier: Yes, but for this particular project, I'm mainly working as a producer. Besides, I'm sure that your understanding of the performing arts far surpasses my own, Lady Furina.
- Furina: Are (TravelerTraveler) and Paimon also part of the film crew?
- Paimon: Yep, we sure are! Paimon's the clapper loader and (hehe/
sheshe)'s the Kamera operator. - Furina: Kamera operator? That can be a pretty technical job, and it directly affects the final quality of the film. Are you really up to it?
- I have experience.
- I can show you if you like.
- Furina: No, I'm not questioning your abilities. It's just that, I've never really seen you use a Kamera before.
- Paimon: Maybe you can come up with a test for (TravelerTraveler) and see for yourself!
- Paimon: If (hehe/
sheshe) can satisfy you with (hishis/ herher) Kamera skills, then you'd have nothing to worry about and can join the team. Whaddya say? - Furina: Uh, you sure are getting better at rolling with the situation, Paimon. Hmm, I do wish to see how skilled (TravelerTraveler) really is with a Kamera.
- Furina: Alright, how about this... We'll work with what we have. I'll give you some scenarios, and see if your work is up to my standards.
- Sure, no problem.
- Whatever you say, Director Furina.
- Furina: Very good. It's essential for the Kamera operator to understand the director's vision. I'll make my decision after seeing your work.
- Furina: Are you ready? I have high standards, you know.
- Yep, I'm ready.
- Furina: Okay. Grab the Kamera, and I'll give you a scenario.
- (Opens Filming Theme Directed by Furina)
- Furina: Okay. Grab the Kamera, and I'll give you a scenario.
- Please wait a moment.
- Furina: Sure. You can come back once you've reviewed the basics of film composition and feel ready.
- (Talk to Furina again, if "Please wait a moment." was chosen)
- Furina: Are you ready? I have high standards, you know.
- Yep, I'm ready.
- Furina: Okay. Grab the Kamera, and I'll give you a scenario.
- (Opens Filming Theme Directed by Furina)
- Furina: Okay. Grab the Kamera, and I'll give you a scenario.
- Please wait a moment.
- Furina: Sure. You can come back once you've reviewed the basics of film composition and feel ready.
- (After filming)
-
- (If one or more scenes were chosen incorrectly)
-
- Furina: Let me be honest... Do you really think you have what it takes to shoot a film?
- Furina: You put no thought into finding a good Kamera angle, and the characters weren't even in the shots. As for the original intent of the characters' lines... did you leave them somewhere in the vicinity of Elton Trench?
- Furina: I mean, I guess you could be trying to pursue your definition of the avant-garde... if that's what you're doing, I suppose you do have to find yourselves a capable director...
- (If all scenes were chosen correctly)
-
- Furina: Oh? It appears that you have more skill than I thought.
- Furina: All the shots had great composition, and I could really feel a connection to the characters and their lines...
- So, what's the verdict?
- Paimon: Yeah, does that mean you agree to be our director, Furina?
- Furina: Hah, did you think I would agree just like that? After our performance of "The Little Oceanid", I've begun to make a name for myself again, you know.
- Furina: In fact, I've already had several troupes approach me for the Fontinalia Film Festival. Unfortunately, the scripts were all pretty boring, and didn't pique my interest.
- Furina: If others were to find out I agreed to work with you so easily, then, well...
- Paimon: Hey, but didn't we have a deal? What else do we need to do to convince you, Furina?
- Furina: Uh... Well, what about the pay?
- Paimon: Huh?
- Furina: You know... how much you're willing to pay me to be the director? The pay is also an important factor for me to consider, you know!
- Xavier: Well, uh... I can offer you... this much...
- Furina: ...What? That's all!? If Neuvillette were to hear of this, he could charge you with underpaying your labor!
- Xavier: I'm sorry, but our crew is in a tight financial spot at the moment...
- Furina: I see. Well, even though it's highly unlikely now that I'll join your crew, there's still something I'd like to ask... Exactly what film are you planning to make?
- Xavier: Oh, uh... Our script is an adaption of "The Two Musketeers."
- Furina: Huh? Wait, you mean the suspense thriller novel that was a number-one bestseller?
- Paimon: Oh, so Furina's read it, too!
- Furina: Of course I've read it! I've always had a keen interest in artistic works that strike a chord with the populace.
- Furina: I see... It all makes sense now. You must've used most of the budget to pay for the copyright.
- Xavier: Uh, not really... The novel's author transferred the copyright to me practically for free once he heard that I wanted to make a film adaption of the story. The lack of budget is due to another issue...
- Chiori: He probably just wants to get his name out there, so Mora isn't the most important thing to him right now.
- Chiori: It reminds me of a delivery courier who wears one of my designs while traveling all across Teyvat. I didn't charge her much for the outfit, either. The exposure she provides for my brand is well worth it.
- Furina: ...
- Paimon: So, are you a big fan of this story, Furina?
- Furina: Well, uh... it's alright! The pacing of the story is good, but the character relationships could use some work. When I was reading it before, I always felt like some things were left on a rather unsatisfactory note. I have high standards, you know!
- Furina: Ahem... Mr. Xavier, if, hypothetically speaking, I agree to be the director... how much freedom would I have in terms of script revisions and creative interpretation?
- Xavier: Oh, as much freedom as you would need! I wouldn't dare doubt the tastes of Fontaine's greatest star.
- Furina: Good. Then I'm free to alter the script as I see fit?
- Xavier: Absolutely, no problem!
- We're counting on you, Director Furina.
- Now's your chance to make a film that you love.
- Furina: Hmm, alright. It seems that your crew really can't go on without my care and direction.
- Xavier: So... you agree?
- Furina: Yes, I agree. Although the pay is well below what someone of my caliber deserves, a great script calls for a great director.
- Furina: I mustn't let a perfectly good story be ruined due to lack of funds. If you have fine cheese and bread, you wouldn't let it just sit on the counter and get moldy just because you lack an oven, right?
- Thank you, Furina.
- Xavier: Oh, Hydro Archon above... I'm not dreaming, am I? Somebody pinch me.
- Furina: There's no more Hydro Archon, you know... And it's still a little early to celebrate.
- Furina: There's a lot that goes into shooting a film. Although the trickiest tasks of finalizing the script and casting the actors have already been taken care of, we'll still need to reserve filming locations, not to say set up lighting and props...
- Furina: And by the way, since we'll be filming "The Two Musketeers", we'll need to find an action choreographer... Ideally, a professional who has actual experience with muskets.
- Xavier: Yes, I've thought about this as well. I was hoping that you might know someone who could handle the job.
- Furina: Me? Hmm... if this was before, I could have simply asked Clorinde. But it's already been some time since I last talked to her.
- Furina: Navia can also use firearms, but unfortunately, her style is quite different from that of the characters in the story.
- Chiori: Could we ask the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol?
- Furina: Oh, you mean the Special Patrol's Musketeers?
- Chiori: Yes, that's right. They work with muskets every day. I can't think of anyone more qualified than them.
- Furina: They would be under Neuvillette's jurisdiction. Unfortunately, I uh... Don't have any connection with them at all.
- Furina: Hmm, so... in the end, we still have to start by talking to Neuvillette...
- Chiori: No need to go to all that trouble. I know their captain, Chevreuse.
- Paimon: Oh, you do? Wait, Chiori, how do you know the captain of the Special Patrol's Musketeers?
- Chiori: No particular reason. Running a business means dealing with some trouble from time to time, and she's helped me out on a few occasions.
- Chiori: In return, I've helped her handle a few situations in which the Special Patrol couldn't get involved directly. So, we've gotten to know each other over time.
- Paimon: Uh, so you're saying there's been times when the Special Patrol needed a fashion designer to handle a situation? Your work is becoming more and more mysterious...
- Chiori: It'd be best to keep it that way. Anyway, enough about that. What do you all think about asking the captain to be our musket action choreographer?
- Furina: She sounds professional enough. She is a captain, after all. I have no objections.
- Xavier: But I imagine the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol must be busy with their duties. Do think she'd really have time to help with shooting a film? And then there's the issue of pay...
- Chiori: Well, it just so happens that she's also not the kind of person that's just after Mora. As for whether she has time, I'll have to go and ask her first.
- Furina: Then I'll leave that to you. Macaroni's on sale today, so I've got to go. You can just tell me how things went when we discuss tomorrow's plan later.
- Xavier: No problem.
- Paimon: Yeee! Having Furina join feels like a big boost to our team.
- Furina: Of course, just wait until the day of our premiere. You'll witness the true power of my name in these lands! You'll be so glad I agreed to help. I can guarantee that even the standing tickets will be sold out.
- Furina: I'll be sure to ask some people I know to see if they'd be willing to act as extras.
- Paimon: Ha, seems like you're finally getting more comfortable with your own reputation now!
- Furina: I didn't ask for the clapper loader's commentary, Paimon.
- I can't wait to see our film's premiere.
- Chiori: Then let's get going. I happen to know where Chevreuse is today.
- Furina: By the way, I'm curious. If my pay is so low, then what about our two lead actors? Didn't they travel here all the way from Inazuma?
- Xavier: Actually, they told us that they see the trip as a part of cultural exchange... So they didn't ask for any pay.
- Furina: What? So is every person in Teyvat who doesn't want money gathered here to shoot this film? Don't tell me Chiori isn't being paid either...
- Chiori: I already knew Xavier from before, and he's also agreed to give my brand some good exposure.
- Furina: It seems the gods have really smiled upon you, Xavier... And that certainly doesn't include me, mind you.
- (Talk to Furina, optional)
- Furina: Besides the macaroni, I should also pick up some tomato sauce...
- (Approach the marked location)
- Chiori: Alright, this is the place.
- Paimon: Hmm? But where's the captain? There's hardly anyone around here.
- Chiori: She's over there... The one with an eye patch reading in front of the newsstand.
- Paimon: Oh, her! Paimon could tell there was something different about her. She seems kinda intimidating!
- Chiori: Please wait here for a moment, I'll go fetch her. She's working now, so you might not want to get in her way.
- Paimon: Working? But isn't she just standing there and reading a novel?
- Chiori: Just trust me.
- (Chiori walks towards Chevreuse)
- Paimon: Oh... alright. Let's see what happens then...
- Paimon: Chiori sure is a mysterious person... She claims just to be a fashion designer, but she knows all these powerful people.
- Xavier: The Court of Fontaine isn't particularly tolerant of visitors from overseas, so it isn't easy for a foreigner to promote their brand here... Even more so in the competitive world of fashion.
- Xavier: Even a local like me just trying to make a film has to face all kinds of challenges, so I can only imagine what Chiori has been through to get to where she is today. I'm sure that having more connections has definitely worked in her favor.
- (Chiori walks up between Chevreuse and the book stall owner)
- Chiori: Reading on the job?
- Chevreuse: Detective novel.
- Chiori: One main character?
- Chevreuse: No, multiple. Branching storylines.
- Chiori: I see. How's the plot coming along?
- Chevreuse: One of the main characters is about to make a choice that will affect the rest of his life. I'd wager he's going to make the wrong choice.
- Chiori: Any way to speed things up? There's something I need your help with.
- Chevreuse: You know that doesn't depend on me. It all comes down to what the character chooses.
- Chiori: Which is exactly why I'm here to help.
- Chevreuse: ...
- (The nearby book stall owner and customer turn to look at each other)
- (The stall owner grabs something and hands it over to the customer, who then turns to leave)
- Chevreuse: Alright. It appears he made the wrong choice in the end.
- Chevreuse: Halt!
- Book Stall Owner: Huh!? Wh—What's going on?
- Chevreuse: Hand over whatever you're holding.
- Book Stall Customer: Oh, it's just a book. I didn't buy anything else.
- Chevreuse: Then I'm sure you wouldn't mind letting me have a look.
- Book Stall Owner: Excuse me, officer. I don't mind you standing around here and not purchasing anything, but I'd prefer if you didn't disturb my customers. It's bad for business, you know.
- Chevreuse: Don't give me that act. You won't be able to get off so easily, either.
- Chevreuse: I am Chevreuse, Captain of Fontaine's Special Security and Surveillance Patrol. I will say this one last time — hand over whatever you're holding at once.
- Chevreuse: And before you do anything unwise, let me remind you that I'll have you on the ground before you can even think about making a run for it.
- Book Stall Customer: Ah! Alright, alright, I'll give it to you!
- Book Stall Customer: B—But, please let me say something first! If there's any contraband in that book, then the shopkeeper here is the one who slipped it in. I don't have anything to do with this!
- Book Stall Owner: Why, you! Trying to leave me on the hook, huh? You were the one who said you wanted it...
- Chevreuse: Save it for the interrogation room.
- Chevreuse: Take them away, Letellier.
- Paimon: What's going on here? One second you're reading a book, the next you're escorting people away!
- Chevreuse: And who are... Oh? Aren't you the Traveler who's been all over the papers recently? Chiori, I'm assuming what you wanted to ask me about has to do with them, right?
- Chevreuse: Eh, maybe I can let you in on what's happening then.
- Chevreuse: Now that Vacher has been brought to justice, no new shipments of Sinthe will be made and distributed to sellers. The Fontaine Gardes have been busy collecting the remaining Sinthe still circulating on the market.
- Chevreuse: Thanks to a tip from our reliable source here, this should be the very last batch.
- Paimon: Oh, so you were pretending to read a book in order to catch the bad guys...
- Paimon: Oh, Paimon almost forgot to introduce ourselves! Paimon is Paimon, and this is (TravelerTraveler) and Xavier.
- Chevreuse: Hey, I'm Chevreuse. You probably already heard me introduce myself, so I won't bother repeating it.
- Why didn't you just arrest them immediately?
- Chiori: Yeah, why didn't you make a move as soon as you had the chance? Were you worried that my intel wasn't accurate?
- Chevreuse: No, I wanted to see if the shopkeeper would turn himself in first.
- Chevreuse: All he had to do was come up to me and say that he didn't know where the Sinthe had come from. If he did that, then I wouldn't have had to press charges on him.
- Chiori: He had the whole day to turn the Sinthe over to Chevreuse. But instead, the moment I came up and blocked Chevreuse's line of sight, he took the opportunity to sell it off.
- Chevreuse: Yes, he made the wrong choice, even though the right choice was right there in front of him.
- Chiori: But you knew they wouldn't make the right choice.
- Chevreuse: Yeah, I knew. I was just hoping I'd be wrong for once.
- Paimon: ...
- Chevreuse: Enough about that, though. What did you want to ask me about?
- Paimon: Oh, you see, it's like this...
- (Paimon explains the situation to Chevreuse)
- Chevreuse: "The Two Musketeers"... You certainly have a good eye for a story.
- Chevreuse: So what do you need me to do? Just be the action choreographer for the actors?
- Xavier: Yes, that's right. I want to make sure we get all the details right... I want the actors' posture and understanding of firearms to be as realistic as possible.
- Xavier: However, I'm afraid this work will require quite a bit of your time, since you'll have to be present whenever we are filming... Also, as for the pay...
- Chevreuse: No need to say any more. I'll join.
- Paimon: Huh? Just like that!?[Note 1]
- Xavier: R—Really? You're willing to help us with our humble film project?
- Chevreuse: Sure, it's no big deal. As I said, we've wrapped up our investigation here, so I don't have any other tasks on my plate for the moment.
- Chevreuse: Besides, I personally really like this novel. I even have the collector's edition at home. Stories where justice prevails over evil never get old for me.
- Chiori: Then we've got a deal?
- Chevreuse: See you on-set tomorrow.
- Xavier: Oh my... I can hardly believe it! I should tell Lady Furina immediately. Oh, and I must tell the prop manager and lighting technician to get everything ready. We start filming tomorrow!
- (Xavier runs off)
- Chiori: Calm down, Xavier. The film is going to take more than just a day to finish.
- Chiori: Still, I should also head back now and start preparing the actors' costumes and make-up.
- Paimon: Alright, guess that's it for today then.
- Chevreuse: (TravelerTraveler), Paimon, please stay for a moment. I have something to tell you.
- Chiori: Then I'll take Xavier back. Poor thing, he's so excited that he can't even walk straight anymore. I don't want to spend our first day fishing our producer out of the fountain.
- See you tomorrow!
- Chiori: Yep, see you tomorrow.
- I think Xavier would probably be able to hold himself together.
- Chiori: He'd better.
- (Approach Chevreuse)
- Paimon: So, what did you want to tell us, Chevreuse?
- Chevreuse: Have you read "The Two Musketeers"?
- I've heard a bit about it.
- I haven't read it yet.
- Chevreuse: The story is about a pair of children born into the household of a baron, and their struggle to survive together and take revenge for their mother.
- Chevreuse: They were raised at the baron's estate, where their mother worked as a maid. The two were illegitimate children that the baron had with the maid, so they were never treated well by anyone.
- Chevreuse: One day, upon returning home, they found their mother had been murdered and left dead on the floor. It was quite evident that the culprits were the other members of the baron's household, who never had any kind words to say to them.
- Chevreuse: However, the baron was able to exert his influence and keep the whole thing under wraps. The mother's death was eventually deemed as a suicide, and there was no chance of bringing her murderers to justice. The two siblings decided to flee and someday avenge their mother.
- Chevreuse: Many years later, members of the baron's family suddenly started turning up dead one after the other... all killed by gunshot. A Rainbow Rose was found on each of the victim's bodies, being the flower that the kids' mother liked best.
- Chevreuse: The baron believed that the mother's soul had come to take vengeance on him, so he lived in fear each day.
- Chevreuse: But it was actually those two siblings who had fled all those years ago. They relied on each other to survive and trained day and night, eventually becoming adept musketeers.
- Chevreuse: They used all of their abilities to collect evidence and clues, before executing their plan and exacting revenge on the baron. Their actions let the truth behind their mother's death be known to all.
- Paimon: That's quite an exhilarating story!
- Chevreuse: Yep, the baron got what he deserved for his evil deeds, and justice was able to prevail. It was just the kind of story I enjoy.
- Paimon: Oh, so is that why you were so willing to join our crew, Chevreuse?
- Chevreuse: You could say it was one of the reasons.
- Paimon: Oh? You mean there were other reasons, too?
- Chevreuse: I've read the reports about you. Whether it was at the trials, or when you lent your hand to resolve our nation's crisis...
- Chevreuse: You've shown that you've got a strong sense of justice, as well as a great mind for deductions.
- Wait, so what you're implying is...
- There's a case that you need our help with?
- Chevreuse: Yes, you're as sharp as I expected. It seems you've experienced many similar situations before.
- Chevreuse: There's been a recent murder case involving muskets. The perpetrator's methods appear to be very similar to what is described in the novel.
- Paimon: Huh? Really!? But Paimon didn't see anything about that in today's papers.
- Chevreuse: The Marechaussee Phantom hasn't yet released any information to the public, because the investigation is currently at a standstill. The murderer is extremely cautious.
- Paimon: A murder involving firearms... But not that many people use those in Fontaine, right?
- Could it be someone from your platoon?
- Chevreuse: Impossible. We perform a routine inspection of our firearms and ammo reserves every day. If one of the weapons had been fired, it would stick out like a sore thumb. Besides, I trust the members of my platoon.
- Chevreuse: However... Well, that's all I can disclose about the case today.
- Paimon: Huh? Whaddya mean?
- Chevreuse: I hope you all can go back and get some shut-eye. You can decide tomorrow whether or not you'd like to join the investigation with me.
- Chevreuse: I'm aware this might not be the ideal time to add more to your plate, but the more capable people we have, the better the chances that justice will prevail.
- Can't someone from the Special Patrol help you investigate?
- Chevreuse: Carrying out investigations isn't actually supposed to be our responsibility. Our job is to apprehend the perpetrators... finding them is really up to the Marechaussee Phantom. You could say I'm taking part in the investigation out of personal interest.
- Chevreuse: I don't want people to see muskets in a negative way, and also... I'm concerned about the similarity between the crimes and the story.
- Paimon: You mean... they might be connected somehow?
- Chevreuse: I suspect so.
- Chevreuse: Just to make myself clear, this is not an order, nor is it a deal of any kind. It's a request, nothing more.
- Chevreuse: If you two have any interest in the case after we finish filming tomorrow, and are willing to assist me, then I would be most grateful.
- Paimon: Hmm, what do you think, (TravelerTraveler)?
- It's already been quite a day...
- Let's give it some thought tomorrow.
- Paimon: Yeah, you're right. Paimon's getting a little tired, too. We've really been hustling all day.
- Chevreuse: You'd better head back and get some rest. It's good to keep a calm mind, especially when you're about to make an important decision.
- Chevreuse: Otherwise, when the moment comes, you might end up like that shopkeeper, and not even realize that the right choice is right there in front of you.
Post-Quest Dialogue[]
After completing this quest, Kamisato Ayaka, Yoimiya, Neuvillette, Kamisato Ayato, Chiori, and Xavier can be found in the open world for a short period of time. They will disappear the following morning (08:00 – 10:00) when it is time to go to Hotel Debord.
Kamisato Ayaka and Yoimiya[]
- (Talk to Kamisato Ayaka or Yoimiya at Café Lutece)
- Kamisato Ayaka: Here, Yoimiya, try some Conch Madeleine.
- Yoimiya: No, you ordered it, Ayaka, so you should be the first to try.
- Kamisato Ayaka: To be honest, I ordered it for you. You're fond of desserts, aren't you?
- Yoimiya: Hehe... Well, in that case, I guess I shouldn't refuse! Let's try some together!
- Kamisato Ayaka: Hehe, alright.
- Yoimiya: ...
- Kamisato Ayaka: ...
- Yoimiya: This is amazing!
- Yoimiya: The texture is so soft! You can feel the super rich aroma of butter as soon as you take a bite, and the aftertaste is pure bliss...
- Kamisato Ayaka: Great, I'm glad you like it.
- Kamisato Ayaka: I enjoyed it too. And I really like the swirly design.
- Yoimiya: I've heard that it's supposed to look like a Beryl Conch! I've never actually seen one myself, but now, I'm really curious about what it looks like!
- Yoimiya: Hey, Ayaka, when you can find the time, would you like to go search for one underwater with me?
- Kamisato Ayaka: Alright, why don't we go right after this?
- Yoimiya: Great, then that's a plan! There are so many places I'd like to visit with you!

Neuvillette and Kamisato Ayato[]
- (Talk to Neuvillette or Kamisato Ayato to the northeast of the Palais Mermonia)
- Kamisato Ayato: ...Indeed, Monsieur Neuvillette, I'd very much appreciate hearing your thoughts on everything we just discussed, including my initial proposal, and the general direction of our potential cooperation.
- Neuvillette: Your proposals are reasonable, and quite well-thought out. Your sincerity and wish for our mutual success was evident in your words, so there's no need to be so modest.
- Kamisato Ayato: Thank you. So, what's your decision?
- Neuvillette: ...
- Neuvillette: If you're asking for my personal opinion... I'm willing to cooperate in full based on my own opinions and my impression of Inazuma's culture.
- Neuvillette: However, Fontaine doesn't run simply based on the feelings of one individual. I'm sure Inazuma must be the same. Everything must be done in accordance with the regulations that are in place.
- Kamisato Ayato: Yes, of course.
- Kamisato Ayato: I will submit a written proposal outlining the details of our potential cooperation to the Palais Mermonia within a week.
- Neuvillette: Then I look forward to hearing from you.

- Xavier: Ah, I see it now! What lies before me... is a whole world of hope!
- Chiori: ...No, what lies before you is the fountain. I hope you can start seeing clearly, or you'll end up taking a dip in it!

Trivia[]
- There is no alternate dialogue for players who have never spoken to Xavier.
- The following line from Paimon appears to reference off-screen interactions: "Oh, Paimon remembers now! Navia said that her clothes were designed by Chiori! And Kirara's outfit, too!" Prior to Roses and Muskets, Chiori's role in designing the outfits of Kirara and Navia was only revealed through:
- Kirara's Character Story 4, her "About Chiori" voice-over, and the description of her outfit, Whirling Bloom, in Kirara's case; and
- the Version 4.3 Special Program in dialogue between the voice actors, in Navia's case.
Notes[]
- ↑ The voice-over for this line was mistakenly melded with a voice-over that is for the Event World Quest Arataki Blazing Armor Beetle Battle Boot Camp! in Arataki Blazing Armor Beetle Battle Boot Camp. Around 12 seconds after Paimon finishes saying this line, if the dialogue has not yet been advanced, Paimon will then say, "What Bull-Chucker is really saying is... 'If you wanna fight the Oni King, you have to go through Skycleaving White-Iron Lavender Melon first!'"
