Quest Description

---

You meet an odd bunch of people out in Inazuma's wilds...

Xudong: Uh, Parvaneh, are there really branches like that around here?

Parvaneh: I think so. That's what it says here in this book...

Julie: Urgh... I'm starving...

Xudong: Hey, Parvaneh, why don't you look up some other method in your dictionary?

Parvaneh: What do you think I am, omnipotent!? Besides, this isn't a dictionary. It's just a travelogue from the Akademiya.

Xudong: Fine. Just think of a way, please. Otherwise, we'll have to eat grilled fish again.

Parvaneh: Gr—Grilled fish... Ugh, let's just go back to the town and get an adventurer to help, or we put up a commission, shall we?

Parvaneh: Isn't that what you used to do back in Liyue when you had a problem?

Xudong: That was Liyue... We're in Inazuma now. We're strangers to this land...

What are you all doing?

Xudong: Are you... an adventurer? A traveler? Or both...

Xudong: Well, forget it. Who cares? I guess this is fate.

Xudong: We're the Gourmet Supremos. We're currently traveling around the world in a quest to improve our culinary skills.

Parvaneh: Ugh, I'm begging you, can you please not say that name out loud...

Xudong: Hahaha, come on, it's fine! Anyway, Traveler, are you also going in to collect Sakura Blooms?

Xudong: If so, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. This place has been blocked by some kind of weird contraption. There's no way in.

I'm just passing through.

Xudong: Oh, is that so? Alright then. But if it strikes your fancy, it would be nice if you could help us give this barrier a bit of thought.

Xudong: Parvaneh found a method in her book.

Xudong: It says you need to touch a Thunder Sakura Bough before you can get through this barrier.

Xudong: But as for those Thunder Sakura Boughs... To be honest, we have no idea what they really look like.

Xudong: Well, that's the run-down of our situation. We're still trying to find a way in.

Why do you want to get in?

Xudong: We'd like to get some of the Sakura Blooms inside ourselves, of course.

Xudong: I've heard that the Sakura Blooms here have the best mouthfeel, and are perfect for cooking.

The method you mentioned earlier...

Xudong: Oh? You're really going in?

Xudong: Well, that method was recorded inside Parvaneh's dictionary—

Parvaneh: I told you! It's not a dictionary. It's a travelogue from the Akademiya!

Xudong: Well, whatever the case, she found a way.

Xudong: It says you need to touch a Thunder Sakura Bough before you can get through this barrier.

Xudong: But as for those Thunder Sakura Boughs... To be honest, we have no idea what they really look like.

Parvaneh: There aren't any photos in this book either.

Xudong: I'm officially sick of eating grilled fish. If I can get my hands on some of those Sakura Blooms. I'm sure I can whip something nice up.

Xudong: I've heard that the ones here have the best mouthfeel, and make for perfect cooking ingredients. But why, oh why does there have to be a barrier here...

Xudong: Well, we'll keep trying our luck around here. Let us know if you find some leads, Traveler.

Parvaneh: ...Mr. Xudong. Is that really how you ask someone for a favor?

Xudong: Eh? *cough* Oh right. Traveler, if you could help us bring some Sakura Blooms out from inside...

Julie: If you could do that, never mind the payment, Xudong here will also make you some really awesome food!

Xudong: You're really good at making these deals, huh, Julie...

Xudong: Well, that's how it is, Traveler. Please help us, if you don't mind.

(Talk to Xudong or Parvaneh or Julie again)

Xudong: Parvaneh, is there really no other way to do this?

Parvaneh: My book only mentions this one way.

Julie: Heh, if only it was just a bunch of monsters barring our path...

Could you repeat that method of yours to me again?

Parvaneh: Eh, allow me. Basically, you need to search for something nearby known as a Thunder Sakura Bough and touch it.

Parvaneh: After that, something known as an Electrogranum will attach itself to you, and that will allow you to pass through the barrier.

Step Description

---

After finding and touching the Thunder Sakura bough, you successfully passed through the barrier and obtained the Sakura Bloom coveted by the group.

(Talk to Xudong after obtaining the Special Sakura Bloom)

Xudong: Parvaneh, is there really no other way to do this?

Parvaneh: My book only mentions this one way.

Julie: Heh, if only it was just a bunch of monsters barring our path.

Are these the Sakura Blooms you've been looking for?

Xudong: Ah! Yes, that they are! And this color...

Julie: Woohoo! Guess we can finally eat now!

Parvaneh: Wait, you've already passed through that barrier? Did you use the method I told you about?

That I did.

Parvaneh: Could you tell me where you found that Thunder Sakura Bough?

Parvaneh: When you touched that Bough, how did the Electrogranum come to rest upon you?

Parvaneh: ...Wait, I'm sorry, let me pull out my notebook. So, did you feel anything after the Electrogranum attached itself to you? And...

Xudong: Parvaneh, please, give this Traveler a moment. They just helped us out... I think your research can wait a bit, right?

Xudong: Thank you very much, Traveler. As we agreed, you will be paid.

Xudong: But before that, just wait here with us for a while. I believe I'll be able to make a dish with the Sakura Blooms you brought.

Xudong: I've heard of an Inazuman specialty known as Sakura Tempura. I suppose now's the time to try it out.

Xudong: Give me a while to prepare. It shouldn't take too long, so come find me in a moment.

Xudong starts cooking...

Xudong: It goes like this... and this...

Have you finished it yet?

Xudong: Just hold on a moment... wrap it up in flour, put it in to dry...

Xudong: And there we go! Sakura Tempura — try it while it's hot!

Julie: I—It's delicious! ... If a bit too hot...

Parvaneh: Xudong, I believe that this "tempura" also needs to be served with a special dipping sauce...

Xudong: A dipping sauce? Well, I must say that I haven't prepared one of those yet. I'll look into it next time should we get the chance.

Xudong: This serving of Sakura Tempura is yours, Traveler. Please take it as thanks for your help.

Xudong: Ah yes, I'll give you a copy of the recipe too. Just give me a moment to write it down...

Xudong: Try it yourself if you get the chance! Cooking is really fun, you know?

Thank you.

Xudong: Don't mention it!

Where will you all be going next?

Xudong: We'll be in Inazuma for a while, so I suspect that we might head to Kannazuka later.

Xudong: Julie says that she also wants to see that Sacred Sakura Tree at the Grand Narukami Shrine.

Xudong: They say that all the Sakura Blooms on this island fell from that huge tree.

Xudong: I wonder, how large must that tree have been to have so many leaves fall from it...

Xudong: You should pay it a visit if it takes your fancy, too.

Xudong: Thank you for your help once again, Traveler. Well, I'm going to have a bite too. I'm starving...

After enjoying a sumptuous meal with the Traveler, the Gourmet Supremos leave...
