(Get quest from Events Overview)Paimon: Come to think of it, adepti are animals and bake-danuki are animals too. The adepti have their adeptal arts, and the bake-danuki can transform... Maybe the two of them can get along!Paimon: Let's go to Mt. Hulao and check it out!(Approach Mountain Shaper's abode)Paimon: Hello—
理水畳山真君—!"Kichiboushi": Hello— Mon-Mon—Paimon: ...Paimon: Argh, seems like the adeptus isn't at home...Icon_Dialogue_Talk.svg Let's not be impolite to the adepti, now."Kichiboushi": Paimon, what are adepti?Paimon: Hmm... They're very special people... Or very special animals?"Kichiboushi": Like Kichiboushi?Paimon: Uh, not exactly! They have mystical powers..."Kichiboushi": They can "kapow"? Then, Kichiboushi also adeptus.Paimon: Um, adepti are much more ancient, and they have a certain... Prestige? Dignity?"Kichiboushi": Oh. Then Kichiboushi, not adeptus. Ioroi is adeptus!Paimon: Ugh, this is pretty hard to explain. The adepti are ancient powers who defend Liyue."Kichiboushi": Kichiboushi understands. Ioroi protects Chinju Forest, so not adeptus.Paimon: Paimon's pretty sure that's not how it works, but if it clears up any misunderstandings...Paimon: But since we've got this adeptus' abode in front of us, let's take a picture of Kichiboushi right here!"Kichiboushi": Mm! Kichiboushi, pose for picture!Paimon: Good Kichiboushi!(After taking the photo)Paimon: That was a great shot!"Kichiboushi": Mmhaha! Kichiboushi, handsome!Paimon: This kid's got zero humility..."Kichiboushi": Ooh. Paimon, adepti use what magic?Paimon: The adepti are super powerful. For example...Icon_Dialogue_Talk.svg Let's start with the amber around here."Kichiboushi": What is amber?Paimon: Oh, Paimon remembers this one. Mountain Shaper has flowers that can create amber to trap bad things that invade his land inside them."Kichiboushi": Mon-Mon, very powerful. Defends Liyue by trapping bad things."Kichiboushi": Long ago, the very, very bad Four Oni of Ogata came into the forest and bullied many bake-danuki. Ioroi transformed into an official, gave them bake-danuki food to eat."Kichiboushi": Later, Ioroi and Otogi King threw them into paper and sealed them.Paimon: Huh, so there's that sort of story too. No wonder Ioroi panicked when he saw that picture of Kichiboushi."Kichiboushi": Ioroi is not adeptus, not defending Liyue. But Ioroi protects the forest. He protects tanuki. Different people have different things they need to defend."Kichiboushi": Mm?Icon_Dialogue_Talk.svg You'll figure it out once you're older, Kichiboushi.Paimon: That's why you've gotta train hard and become a super strong bake-danuki!"Kichiboushi": Mm! Of course! The world-famous bake-danuki, Kichiboushi!Paimon: Paimon's really curious to know what Ioroi used to look like before he was sealed. He was probably a ball of fun!Paimon: Huh, Paimon's suddenly reminded of those Treasure Hoarders who were trapped in amber... They even took us for adepti messengers...Paimon: That feels like it was so long ago now. But at the same time, it wasn't, right?"Kichiboushi": Mm?Paimon: Ahem. Well, when we came to Liyue...Paimon: "The Rite of Descension only happens once a year! Ahaha, I, (Traveler), am gonna have all that delicious food! Come on, Paimon, let's go!"Icon_Dialogue_Talk.svg "And all the offerings, too! Paimon's flying over there right now!""Kichiboushi": ?? Best we stop misrepresenting events...Paimon: Okay, okay...You explain what happened in Liyue in simpler terms.
You stop at the point where you went to seek the adepti out in Minlin.Paimon: ...As for what happened next, (Traveler) and Paimon went to that Liuli Pavilion place we were at earlier."Kichiboushi": Mon-Mon and Clow-Clow, very powerful! They built a moving house!Paimon: Clow-Cl—
留雲借風真君 really loves gourmet food as well! We had to make lots of delicious stuff before we could meet with her."Kichiboushi": Greedy, like Paimon.Icon_Dialogue_Talk.svg Like Paimon indeed. She can fly, too.Paimon: Hey!"Kichiboushi": Is Paimon adeptus? Paimon is very powerful.Paimon: Uhh, this is kinda complicated. That was praise, sure, but Paimon doesn't feel so good about it...Paimon: But either way, Paimon isn't an adeptus!"Kichiboushi": Want to play with adepti!Paimon: The adepti don't generally appear before people. But we can have a look around. It's pretty nice here."Kichiboushi": Kichiboushi, go!(After the dialogue)Paimon: Whoa, this little guy is fast!"Kichiboushi": Adeptus— Adeptus—!(While chasing Kichiboushi)"Kichiboushi": Amber! Mon-Mon's amber!Paimon: That's Mountain Shaper to you, kiddo!Paimon: Hey! Be careful, Kichiboushi! If you step on something weird, you might get trapped in amber!"Kichiboushi": Got it, got it!Paimon: Paimon's been thinking... How do you bake-danuki just pop outta nowhere?"Kichiboushi": Paimon also pop out from nowhere! Paimon also bake-danuki?Paimon: That's not it at all!"Kichiboushi": Whaaaa—!Paimon: Kichiboushi? What's wrong?(Upon reaching the investigation area)Paimon: Hello? Kichiboushi—!Paimon: No response. He... didn't get stuck in amber, did he...(If Kichiboushi is not found within a certain amount of time)Paimon: Strange. Where'd he go off to?(Break the amber next to the pavilion and talk to Kichiboushi)Paimon: Thank goodness we found you! Are you alright, Kichiboushi?"Kichiboushi": *whimpers*Paimon: Don't worry, it's okay. But don't run off by yourself next time, alright?Icon_Dialogue_Talk.svg You're like his big sister, Paimon.Paimon: Paimon's older than Kichiboushi. Of course Paimon's the big sister! Though I could hardly tell...Paimon: Hey!Icon_Dialogue_Talk.svg You're like his mom, Paimon.Paimon: What!? Paimon's like his granny.Paimon: "Ooh, (Traveler), you've got to eat more. You're still growing! How will you grow unless you eat more?""Kichiboushi": Mm-mm! Thank you, (Traveler). Thank you, Paimon."Kichiboushi": Kichiboushi, almost sealed! Very scary. But Paimon calling Kichiboushi, so not so scary.Paimon: Ah, right, Ioroi did say that some smaller tanuki were also sealed..."Kichiboushi": Inside amber, very scary. Dark, cannot see. Cannot talk. Cannot move. Cannot "kapow"! Like becoming stone."Kichiboushi": Ioroi is stone, but still very powerful. Can talk, can see. But cannot move.Icon_Dialogue_Talk.svg Would you like to help Ioroi, Kichiboushi?"Kichiboushi": Mm. Then, help other stone tanuki too!Paimon: But we're here with you right now, Kichiboushi. We won't let you be sealed! Aye, we'll protect you.Paimon: That's right! With us around, there's no way you'll be sealed, Kichiboushi!"Kichiboushi": Yey!Paimon: But you mustn't be too naughty, either!"Kichiboushi": Mm. Yes.Paimon: That's a good boy! Shall we stop here for now? You must need some rest too, Kichiboushi."Kichiboushi": Not tired!Paimon: Ooh, isn't this a pickle. If Kichiboushi won't be good, then Paimon doesn't know where we should go next..."Kichiboushi": Mm...Kichiboushi begrudgingly admits to being tired...Paimon: Phew! Kichiboushi really is like a child.Icon_Dialogue_Talk.svg And you're getting better at dealing with then, eh, Paimon?Paimon: Really? Maybe that's because Paimon's been traveling with you for so long! Hehe. Oh, treating me like a kid now, are we?Paimon: No, no! Haven't we been accompanying kids a lot? You know, like Dusky Ming and Changchang...Icon_Dialogue_Talk.svg Hmm, come to think of it, we have had to take care of many children...Paimon: Exactly! Like 冥ちゃん and チャンチャン...Paimon: Paimon's definitely learned a lot from traveling with you.Paimon: And this time, the lesson is... Bake-danuki and adepti might not get along.Paimon: We've got to give our next destination some thought...(Quest completes)
