Dialogue
Quest DescriptionThe secret weapon and last resort of the resistance is, in fact, Delusions. Teppei's death ignites an unquenchable flame of rage within you...
- (Talk to Sangonomiya Kokomi)
- Sangonomiya Kokomi: How is Teppei's condition, (Traveler)?
How could none of us have noticed?- He's taken a sudden turn for the worse.
- Sangonomiya Kokomi: ...I have put out the order to seize all Delusions.
- Sangonomiya Kokomi: The vast majority are showing some loss of vitality, but nothing serious.
- Sangonomiya Kokomi: Sadly, a few have been... less fortunate...
- Gorou: Your Excellency, I'm planning to establish a dedicated field hospital to monitor their condition.
- Gorou: The soldiers are up in arms about the ban though. They know full well what a Delusion is, but they still intend to keep using them.
- Sangonomiya Kokomi: Okay. I'll leave you to deal with this situation. I have to get to the front line.
- Sangonomiya Kokomi: This whole fiasco is certain to be a blow to morale. If the Shogun's Army attacks now, while we're scrambling to recover, it could well undo everything we have achieved so far.
- Sangonomiya Kokomi: (Traveler), what are your thoughts?
- I'll go confront the Fatui directly.
- Sangonomiya Kokomi: No, it's too dangerous!
- Sangonomiya Kokomi: The Sakoku Decree is still in force, so their Delusions must be produced within Inazuma's borders.
- Sangonomiya Kokomi: To organize an operation of this scale, they will have had to mobilize a huge amount of manpower and resources. They can't have done it without local support.
- Sangonomiya Kokomi: If we want to stop them, we have to destroy the factory where the Delusions are made. But it's sure to be heavily guarded...
- Sangonomiya Kokomi: It's dangerous to go alone. At least take some troops with you...
- There's no time for that.
- Gorou: Your Excellency, given the urgency of the situation, we were hardly discreet when confiscating the Delusions. The Fatui are sure to take notice.
- Gorou: If we spend any longer amassing our forces, they will get wind of our plans and make their escape.
- Sangonomiya Kokomi: Very true. Mm... let me think...
- Sangonomiya Kokomi: I gave this some thought while you were confiscating the Delusions. The site of the factory must be big and secluded, but close enough to a transport route to ensure the supply of raw materials...
- Sangonomiya Kokomi: Not many places meet these criteria, and if we take the locations where our soldiers received their Delusions into account as well, I suspect the site is likely to be the cliffs near the ocean at the southwest of Yashiori Island.
- Sangonomiya Kokomi: I'm not going to stop you, but please be careful.
- Sangonomiya Kokomi: We have lost too many courageous fighters already. I don't want to lose you too.
- (The Traveler looks down with their eyes closed)
- Okay, let's go.
- (The Traveler makes an angry expression)
- Paimon: Huh? You mean, to the Delusion factory?
- ...
- Paimon: Really? You aren't going to think it over first? Ugh, fine...
- (The Traveler and Paimon leave by the path on the left)
- (Search for the place where the Delusions are being made)
- (Enter the Delusion Factory)
- (Upon arriving at the bottom floor)
- Paimon: So is this where Delusions are made from? So much Crystal Marrow... Now, where have we seen that before...
- Paimon: Wait a second, are they getting this from Ritou?
- Paimon: So the Kanjou Commission are... Ugh.
- (Read the Hall Notice inside the Delusion Factory)
- Hall Notice: The situation of the Inazuman civil war is presently uncertain. The longer this conflict drags on, the more advantageous our position will be...
- Hall Notice: To deepen the resistance's reliance on Delusions, to fan the flames of war, and steel the resolve of the leadership on both sides to continue fighting...
- Hall Notice: I call upon all available comrades to assist the work of 2nd Naval Lieutenant Nathan in dashing Sangonomiya's hopes for a quick victory...
- Hall Notice: If there are any accidents, assist in 2nd Lieutenant Nathan's escape, and silence all who might reveal our infiltration into their ranks!
- Hall Notice: This mission is of vital importance to securing our supply of Delusions — not a single detail may be overlooked!
- (Enter the hallway with the Electro arrows)
- Paimon: Yikes! It looks dangerous...
- Paimon: We'd better watch our step, or we might get hit...
- (Upon unlocking the door and entering the room)
- Fatui: Intruders spotted...
- Fatui: Do not let them impede the work of the Harbingers.
- Fatui: You'll never get out of here alive!
- (Upon defeating the first wave)
- Fatui: This idiot must have a death wish!
- Fatui: Don't be intimidated. Lord Harbinger will be here soon.
- (Upon defeating the second wave)
- (If the player met The Balladeer during Unreconciled Stars)
-
- The Balladeer: You actually managed to find this place. Congratulations.
- The Balladeer: Hah. Barely two words in and you already look like you want me dead.
- You're manufacturing Delusions...
- You're giving Delusions to the resistance...
- The Balladeer: Oh, so that's what this is about.
- The Balladeer: I think you've got the wrong idea. I know how this looks, but I'm just here to follow orders.
- The Balladeer: I'm obviously not the mastermind behind this. Aren't you supposed to be pretty tough? What are you waiting for, go get them.
- (The Traveler scowls)
- The Balladeer: You're getting all worked up over nothing. Pff, you've changed... You're getting weak.
- (If the player has not met Scaramouche yet)
-
- The Balladeer: You actually managed to find this place. Congratulations.
- Paimon: So you're another Fatui Harbinger... like Signora and Childe?
- The Balladeer: Signora and Childe? Huh... I didn't know you and my two least reliable colleagues were acquainted.
- The Balladeer: I'm The Balladeer, No. 6 of the Fatui Harbingers. Delighted to meet you, O Mighty Traveler.
- Scaramouche, Balladeer — The Sixth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers
- The Balladeer: So many visitors today. To what do I owe the honor?
- You're manufacturing Delusions...
- You're giving Delusions to the resistance...
- The Balladeer: Oh, so that's what this is about.
- The Balladeer: I think you've got the wrong idea. I know how this looks, but I'm just here to follow orders.
- The Balladeer: I'm obviously not the mastermind behind this. Aren't you supposed to be pretty tough? What are you waiting for, go get them.
- The Balladeer: You're getting all worked up over nothing. Huh... didn't have you down as being so weak.
- Paimon: How can you say this is nothing?
- The Balladeer: How can you call it anything more? It's the way of the world. Human life is worthless.
- The Balladeer: They were always going to die, with or without a Delusion. At least having one gives them a chance to fulfill their ambitions.
- The Balladeer: Do you have any idea how useful the Vision Hunt Decree is to us? It took a lot of work to make it happen. Obviously it was in our best interests.
- The Balladeer: Good news is, our hard work is finally paying off. Generating conflict creates a big market for Delusions. Now we just let the promise of power draw in the weak...
- The Balladeer: For just a small price, they get the feeling of controlling the world. Trading their life for supreme power... pretty good deal, don't you think?
- Paimon: So the Fatui started the Vision Hunt Decree? You've been behind it all along?
- The Balladeer: From the outside, Inazuma looks pretty impenetrable, but on the inside... it's a land of opportunity. With a little effort, we were able to break them down from within.
- The Balladeer: Eternity stretches things out over a long time. But each moment within it becomes all the more fragile.
- The Balladeer: Take your friend in the resistance, for example. There's nothing you can do now. He's a lost cause.
- The Balladeer: Just like a bubble on the water. Beautiful for a moment, then total destruction.
- The Balladeer: The more it takes from them, the more tightly they hold onto it. And the more incompetent they are, the more determined they are to fight it! Hahaha, it's such a farce, you have to see the funny side.
- Don't you dare mock Teppei...
- He's not incompetent!
- Paimon: Hey! (Traveler), calm down...
- Cutscene's Travel Log summary:
- (Cutscene starts)
-
- Paimon: Uh... No!
- (A purple haze starts enveloping the Traveler)
- The Balladeer: Hahaha...
- The Balladeer: That's it, just like that! Embrace the anger... Embrace it!
- The Balladeer: The wrath of the gods fills this factory, and it feeds on your anger...
- (The Traveler collapses)
- Paimon: Ah, what's happening...
- Paimon: Get up...!
- (Yae Miko appears as the Traveler loses consciousness)
- (Cutscene ends)
