Dialogue[]

Quest Description

Commission Officer Hiromi seems to be vexed about something. Perhaps he could use some help...

(Talk to Hiromi)

Hiromi: Yo, outlander! What are you doing sneaking around?

I'm just passing through.

You know, maybe you're the sneaky one here.

Hiromi: Don't bother me with anything unimportant, outlander. Otherwise, I'll kindly have you accompany me to the Outlander Affairs Agency.

Hiromi: I have no idea how you got here, but it's a criminal offense to interfere with a samurai's job.

Hiromi: The Kanjou Commissioner will punish you severely should he find out.

Hiromi: So I'd advise you to stay back — for your own safety.

Kanjou Commission?

Hiromi: Are you serious? Do you outlanders not fear the Commissioner anymore nowadays?

I don't see this place being under Kanjou jurisdiction.

You're not on the job right now, are you?

Hiromi: You...!

Hiromi: You're not wrong... But even a samurai has a right to some free time. You outlanders wouldn't understand!

What are you doing?

Hiromi: None of your business.

Hiromi: Alright, I'll... let you go this time. Just please, leave me alone.

Are you waiting for someone?

Hiromi: ... So what if I am?

Don't worry, just asking.

Hiromi: Please don't ask me pointless questions while I'm on duty.

Hiromi: Come on, please stop bothering me. Please leave.

(Talk to Hiromi again): Hiromi: Why'd you come again? If you've got something to say, hurry up!; Hiromi: Don't interrupt a man while he's waiting for someone!; Waiting for someone far outside his realm of jurisdiction?; Hiromi: What are you trying to say?; Not some proper folk you're meeting, eh?; Hiromi: O—Of course I wouldn't... Are you questioning a public servant?; Hiromi: I'm on duty and waiting for my informant... a contact...; Speak up, I can barely hear you anymore.; Hiromi: Ugh, enough! Leave, or you'll be coming with me to the Outlander Affairs Agency on charges of obstructing a personnel on official duty!; Sure.; Why, yes! Let's go, shall we?; Hiromi: !?; Hiromi: Are you not afraid of being deported by the Commissioner?; I feel like yours is the more evident misdemeanor.; Oh, I have my ways.; Hiromi: ...; Hiromi: Please don't report this matter to the Commissioner.; Hiromi: But... I still don't get it. What is it that you want to know?; Hiromi: I'm just a low-ranking officer. I don't know much beyond my duties. I don't think I'll be of much help to you.; Well, I can help you.; I just can't stand the way you're going on like this.; Hiromi: I... can't believe an outlander would understand the honor of a samurai. You have my respect.; Ah, a public servant and a honeyed tongue.; Hiromi: Alright, please don't mock me anymore. I sincerely apologize for my rudeness. Please accept my apology.; Hiromi: By the way, I don't believe that you've given me your name...; Call me (TravelerTraveler).; Hiromi: Well, (TravelerTraveler), since you're willing to help, I do have something to ask of you.; Hiromi: Here's how it is. I have a childhood friend — an outlander — whom I haven't been able to meet since the Sakoku Decree came into effect.; Hiromi: I was worried about her safety, so I started putting letters into drifting bottles in hopes that she'd receive them.; Hiromi: However, she still hasn't responded.; Drifting bottles, you say?; You said "drifting bottles," right?; Hiromi: Yes, I did. What of it?; Are you referring to this?

(Talk to Hiromi again if no bottle submitted): Hiromi: Yes, I did. What of it?; Are you referring to this?
(Opens item submission screen)

(Upon submitting Someone's Drifting Bottle): Hiromi: This is it! Her badge is inside, too.; Hiromi: I don't know how to thank you enough...; You wouldn't mind me reading it, would you?; Hiromi: Eh? What? Please don't...; "Do you still remember the Uyuu Restaurant?"; Hiromi: Uh...; "We shall meet there..."; Hiromi: Wait—; "You will find money for wine attached herein."; Hiromi: Okay—; "But if you are not the one I was expecting to receive this letter..."; Hiromi: Please stop reading it! (TravelerTraveler), that was very, incredibly rude of you!; Look at you, being all serious.; Were you like that when you were writing these letters, too?; Hiromi: Stop messing around! If you want to help me, just say so!; Sorry.; Please continue.; Hiromi: So recently, one of her... old friends told me that she is doing well. They're both adventurers exploring the world, so I trust his intel.; Hiromi: Unfortunately, between all the duties I shoulder, it's impossible for me to venture that far out...; Hiromi: I was going to ask him to deliver my letter for me, and we agreed to meet here.; Hiromi: But all he thinks about is treasure. He hurriedly left for the ancient ruins on the northern part of Narukami Island... and I haven't heard from him since.; Hiromi: I've been here several times already, finding time every day to wait for him here. But I can't keep making excuses to sneak off.; Hiromi: That's why I was hoping that you could accompany me to find him, (TravelerTraveler).; Hiromi: I suspect that it would take me a lot of time just to find those ruins, were I to go by myself.; Hiromi: But with your help, we may yet save a lot of time.; Hiromi: By the way, since you already have the bottle... you can hand it over to her as well.; Hiromi: (TravelerTraveler), can I count on you for this?; Alright.; Let's find him.; Hiromi: Aye aye, let's head out at once!

(Upon arriving at the area): Hiromi: He should be around here. Let's split up and search.

(Upon finding Shun)

Shun: Huh? Why are you here? And who's that you've brought along?

Shun: Didn't we agree to meet alone?

Shun: Eh, I understand. But if it's about "that case," then tell your colleagues that it's not time yet.

Hiromi: This isn't about that... it's the matter from last week. The one you promised me about.

Shun: Oh? Not that case? Then which one are you talking about? I'm a law-abiding citizen these days, you know! I'm squeaky clean!

Shun: This isn't the time we agree on, either way. I mean, I just got out of jail two weeks ago.

Shun: Oh yeah, I've got it now... are you trying to preemptively arrest me to gain some credit?

Hiromi: No, that's not it at all... And what gain would there be in catching someone like you?

Shun: Ouch! Not in the feelings, man! I'm a least a Treasure Hoarder Cadre. I'll have you know that I'm pretty well-known on the streets, too!

Shun: No, wait, I get it now! You must be—

You're a Treasure Hoarder?

An explanation would be nice, Hiromi.

Hiromi: *sigh*

Shun: Man, not even knowing who the Treasure Hoarders are... Is your colleague over here new or something?

Hiromi: Shut up.

Hiromi: Listen, (Traveler). Shun is my informant. Please, don't make an unnecessary fuss out of this.

Hiromi: Look, Kazu [sic], I came here with this outl— I mean, friend of mine, to ask you about where "Big Sis" is. I... I want to get in touch with her again.

Shun: Oh... Hahahahhaha!

Hiromi: What on earth are you laughing at, huh? What's your issue?

Yeah, what he said.

Shun: Hahaha, you're hilarious!

Shun: So here's the skinny, Traveler. The three of us have known each other since we were wetting beds.

Shun: This was back before the Sakoku Decree. Way before Hiromi became some stick-in-the-mud, too.

Shun: *sigh* I mean, just look at what the Commission headquarters did to a good boy like him.

Hiromi: With me, they turned a good boy into a public servant who protects the people. With him, they turned a bad boy into a Treasure Hoarder.

Shun: Alright, alright, I'll be straight with you. See, you knew who we were before the Sakoku Decree was implemented, right?

Shun: There you have it: that's why she left Inazuma.

Shun: Bet you wrote about Uyuu Restaurant in your last letter, eh? Don't worry, I miss it too.

Shun: We even had a drink there the day before the Sakoku Decree took effect.

Shun: Everyone could tell what you were thinking, trust me.

Shun: But well, isn't it a crying shame that your Shogun hates outlander drifters, eh?

Hiromi: ...Let's just get back to business.

Shun: Is any of this business?

Shun: Alright, I'm done messing with you. And I'd love to help you too, but... I don't think I can.

Hiromi: What do you mean?

Shun: ...It's a long story.

Oh look, my hand is itching! I think it wants to beat someone up!

Hiromi: Wow, a coincidence. Mine does too!

Get to the point, please.

Shun: So, "Big Sis" and I were in Jueyun Karst not long ago. You know about Jueyun Karst, right?

Shun: Home of the adepti, shiny golden Cor Lapis, light blue Noctilucous Jade, the works...

Shun: That's where all the rare and exotic treasures gifted by heaven are buried, you know? They say that the adepti...

Get to the point!

I've been there.

Shun: Oh, okay, okay. So "Big Sis" and I were casing Jueyun Karst... Everything was going well at first, and we were even able to conceal ourselves from the adepti...

Shun: We planned on treating ourselves to something nice after casing that joint, and we were just about to head back...

Shun: And then there was a whistling cry between the rocks and the sea, and two swords were drawn!

Shun: Two people leapt in front of us — one man and one woman — yelling "Bandits! There's nowhere to run!"

Shun: It was a pair of warriors from the Guhua Clan! That was it, we thought — we were done for! Oh yeah, and y'know, I've heard that man is named...

Get. To. The. Point!

Shun: So the man's called Sun Yu and the woman's called Little Que'er.

Shun: "Big Sis" and I had to split right there. I've got no clue where she is now.

Hiromi: Thank you, (Traveler)! You saved me a lot of time there...

Hiromi: The scope of our search has been narrowed down a lot. All you need to do now is... check with those two members of the Guhua Clan, and there shoudl be hope of finding her yet.

Hiromi: This bottle and her badge... I can only rest easy after I've returned both of these to her.

Hiromi: (Traveler), I'm embarrassed to ask, but can you please help me out?

You're not going yourself?

Hiromi: I... I have other duties. It will be hard for me to leave.

Shun: Ooh, "I have other duties." Aah, "It will be hard for me to leave~"

Shun: Hmph. You're useless!

Shun: How can you take yourself seriously, what with your pathetic salary and having to flatter your superiors constantly?

...

Do you believe him?

Hiromi: Shun's a pain and he's by no means a good man, but I can trust him.

Shun: Hmph. Well, at least you've got a conscience.

Shun: It's getting late, anyway. You should go back to your post.

Shun: Ah, I don't know what to say... You want to be a good public servant and a lackey of the Commissioner...

Shun: Yet you can't let go of our friendship or forget the throbbing of your heart...

Shun: Even though your paths have diverged so much.

Shun: You don't have the guts to make your own choices. You're just a wuss who throws your duties to others.

Shun: ...But don't you worry, those choices will come back to you in the end.

Shun: When that time comes, you won't be able to hide anymore.

Hiromi: ...

Hiromi: ...Don't you lecture me.

Shun: That's right, that's right! How could I forget! I'm an outlander thief, and you're a public servant. You should be the one lecturing me!

Shun: Well, Traveler, looks like it's your time to save the day again.

Shun: I'm not gonna play house with this petty public servant a second longer. I've got my own job to do.

You alright over there?

Need some help?

Hiromi: No, I'm fine, I'm fine.

Hiromi: Well, he wasn't speaking complete nonsense.

Hiromi: But I'm afraid that I still need you to do this for me, (Traveler).

You're as stubborn as a mule.

Just this once.

Hiromi: Thanks... I will seize the next opportunity when it comes along with my own hands.

Hiromi: Well, I'd best be back soon, or my superior will get mad. Thanks again for your help, (Traveler).

Hiromi: Take care of yourself! If anything urgent should crop up, you know where to find me in Ritou.

(Talk to Shun again): Shun: If you've got something to say, say it fast. Us Treasure Hoarders, our time's not yours for the wastin'.; So, about Hiromi...; Shun: Ah, he's a good lad... But he's a big baby, too. He needs a bit more time to grow.; Shun: So I say, but in the end, being immature is better than being evil.; Shun: He has his livelihood and his responsibilities...; Shun: It's not all his fault that he's scared to make choices.; Shun: At least he's still got some choices to make.

(Speak to Little Que'er): Little Que'er: If you have anything to say, please talk to my senior disciple. I know you don't like listening to me anyway.; Little Que'er: Hmph... No one likes to listen to me...

(Speak to Sun Yu): Sun Yu: Ah, it's you, Traveler. Your great name is known through Liyue Harbor. Might I inquire as to why you have elected to grace us with your...; You're talking all funny.; Sun Yu: Ah. I am presently trying to teach Que'er how to treat people with the proper etiquette. As the saying goes, "Those without credibility have no leg to stand on, and those without etiquette..."; Fair, but there's no need to be so formal.; You were giving me goosebumps..; Sun Yu: Alright. Then, may I help you?; I'm looking for a certain female thief.; Sun Yu: Oh, so you have come to perform the chivalrous act of hunting down criminals. The Guhua Clan will definitely support that! What aid may we lend you?; The two of you went after her once.; Do you still have any impression of her?; Sun Yu: Now that you mention it, I do have an impression of just such an incident.; Sun Yu: It happened about a week ago. Que'er and I were wandering these mountains and training when we were interrupted by two thieves.; Sun Yu: We rose up and made to help the adepti keep their paradise clean of such unwanted intruders...; Sun Yu: We pursued the two thieves deep into Mt. Hulao, only to see their shadows suddenly rise and fall, rise and fall...; Then what happened...?; Sun Yu: Suddenly, one of the shadows disappeared. I said, "Que'er, this must be a trap! Don't fall for it!" Then we began to chase the female thief...; Sun Yu: We climbed Mt. Hulao through rock, stone, cave, and cloud...; Sun Yu: In short, we chased them up and down, up and down, and up and down...; Uh huh. And then?; Sun Yu: We heard a *puff*!; Sun Yu: And then the female thief was gone.; Sun Yu: Little Que'er and I searched for her for a long time, but we couldn't find any trace. We thought that she must fallen off the cliffs.; Sun Yu: Or perhaps she was so agile that she gave us the slip. That's possible as well.; Sun Yu: That's all I know. I cannot be sure if it'll be of use to you, but...; Thanks for your help!; No, it wasn't completely useless...; Sun Yu: Ah, I am glad that we were able to help! By the way, I also saw a few Qingxin on the mountain's summit that seemed quite lovely — beyond the pale, even. I wonder if...; Taking my leave now!

(Speak to Sun Yu again): Sun Yu: Please go after those bandits. Don't let me slow you down.; Sun Yu: Oh! I see! Then you must be here to help me—; By your leave!

(Break the Amber Rock and speak with Yan'er): Yan'er: *cough* *cough* *panting* Phew, thought I'd never get out!; Yan'er: Thanks for saving my life, stranger...?; Yan'er: Eh!? It's you!; You're...; Yan'er: Aren't you that... that...!; Oh, so it's "that"...; Yan'er: Yes! And that time in Qingce, too... that...!; Yeah. Definitely "that."; Yan'er: Yes! That's right! So... did you get any mileage out of those Chi remains?; Hardly.; Everything they said I would.; Yan'er: Ah-hahahaha!; Yan'er: Ah, you're something, alright. So it really was you who turned my brothers inside-out back in Qingce Village.; Yan'er: Well, regardless, you have my thanks for saving my life.; Yan'er: Otherwise, I don't know how long I would have been trapped in this accursed amber. It was awful in there...; Yan'er: The vaunted adepti of Jueyun Karst — a pack of petty jerks, I tell you!; The adeptus saved your life, you know.; Just saying, you're still in their territory.; Yan'er: Hehe, you're right.; Yan'er: I accidentally fell into this pit back when I was trying to avoid that crazy couple.; Yan'er: But thanks to Mountain Spitter wrapping me up in amber from way over in his abode, I wasn't injured.; Yan'er: Well, he's not an avid finisher of what he starts, seeing as how he didn't let me out afterwards.; The adeptus was probably trying to punish you, too.; Yan'er: Makes sense, hahaha!; Yan'er: Alright, alright. I'm done laughing now. Come on, let's get out of this place.

(Upon riding the upwards wind current): Yan'er: Must be nice having a wind glider. It's just a shame that mine broke a good while ago, or I wouldn't have needed you to rescue me.

(Arrive at the highlighted location at the top of the hole): Yan'er: So, I suppose that you've got something you need my help with, then!; Oh, I was just passing through.; Wait, how did you know?; Yan'er: Hah! You can't fool me.; Yan'er: You outlanders have faces that can hide no secrets.; Yan'er: Well then, what's the matter? Did you finally remember that you might have to arrest me, O Hero of Liyue?; Please take this.

(Talk to Yan'er again if no bottle submitted): Yan'er: Well then, what's the matter? Did you finally remember that you might have to arrest me, O Hero of Liyue?; Please take this.
(Opens item submission screen)

(Upon submitting Someone's Drifting Bottle): Yan'er: Oh, is this a gift? Thanks!; It's from Hiromi.; Yan'er: Hiromi... who's that?; Don't you know each other?; He said he misses you.; Yan'er: Sorry. I don't know any officer who catches thieves.; Yan'er: Especially idiots. I don't know any of them.; Yan'er: However... please thank him for returning the badge.; Yan'er: Also, the Uyuu Restaurant seems like a fine place. I will go there for drinks when I am free.; Yan'er: Go for a few drinks and get to know that idiot along the way.

(Go back and find Hiromi): Hiromi: So, did you manage to get any news of "Big Sis"?; We've spoken, aye.; Hiromi: What did she say? Don't tell me she's already forgotten about me?; She doesn't know a Hiromi.; Hiromi: But...!; Well, that's because she can't get to know any public servants.; Hiromi: ...; Idiotic ones least of all.; Hiromi: Uhh...; Still, she thinks that...; Hiromi: She thinks that?; That she can give it a try.; Hiromi: Uh...?; Sounds like a date, doesn't it?; Hiromi: Eh! Eh!? Is that how you see it?; Is that so strange...?; Hiromi: N—No... it's just... I wasn't expecting this response.; I'll go if you won't.; Hiromi: Wha—! No! There's no need for that! I can take care of this myself!; Hiromi: But... she didn't mention when she'll "try to get to know me," did she?; I'm afraid she couldn't spill the beans then.; She is a Treasure Hoarder, after all...; Hiromi: Yes, you're right... Anyway, you have my thanks, (TravelerTraveler).; Hiromi: Perhaps I still need time to digest everything that she said. Well, I can't claim to be disappointed with this answer either way.; Hiromi: Sorry for the trouble. Here's your payment.; Don't forget, now: "Uyuu Restaurant."; Hiromi: I got it. Thank you!; Hiromi: By the way, (TravelerTraveler), I wish you all the best here in Inazuma.
