Dialogue

Quest Description

The researcher from Sumeru, Alrani, seems to have come up with a new idea for her thesis...

(Talk to Alrani)

Alrani: Hey! Traveler, why are you here?

Are you... Alrani?

Have you finished your paper?

Alrani: Ugh, don't even mention my paper...

Alrani: After you helped me gather some materials previously, I was preparing to write a thesis on Visions and elemental powers.

Alrani: The outline was drawn up, the materials were found, and you were a special example of someone who does not have a Vision but could still use the power of the elements.

Alrani: So I wrote up the first draft and sent it to the Akademiya for my tutor to review, but...

Alrani: "The topic is shallow, the logic is unclear, the content is rambling and incomprehensible."

Alrani: My paper was summarily rejected. Again.

So it's a rewrite for you, then?

Alrani: Yeah. Hahaha... Well, I've rewritten it twice already. What's another time?

Alrani: The first time, I wanted to go to Mondstadt to collect data and write a paper about life in Mondstadt and The Four Winds.

Alrani: But as soon as I passed the Stone Gate I heard that The Dragon of the East, Dvalin, who should be one of The Four Winds of Mondstadt, had suddenly started attacking the city of Mondstadt.

Alrani: I specifically went to Mondstadt to consult with Mr. Sayid, but he didn't know the reason either, and couldn't help me with my paper.

Alrani: Since I didn't have a core argument or any evidence, I had to change the topic.

So you went to Liyue?

Alrani: Yes! I thought that since the Geo Archon in Liyue is so diligent, and personally guards Liyue Harbor, and also helps to guide its overall development...

Alrani: If I wrote a paper on the relationship between the Geo Archon and Liyue Harbor, there should be enough material.

Alrani: And then— and then, Morax suddenly... Ohh...

No one wanted that kind of accident to happen.

Well, at least that didn't happen while you were writing your paper.

Alrani: Hahaha... Yeah, I think I might have lost it if that had happened...

Alrani: After failing twice, I had no other choice. If I couldn't put a good paper together, I wouldn't be able to show my face back at the Akademiya again.

Alrani: So I wanted to go out into Liyue's countryside to investigate and find a paper topic. But you already know what happened next...

Alrani: To tell you the truth, even when I was captured by the Treasure Hoarders and pressed for the whereabouts of the treasure, I still felt less stressed than when I was writing my paper.

Alrani: After all, I had a clear idea of what those guys wanted from me, whereas I have no idea what my tutor wants from my paper even now ... [sic]

Is writing a paper that scary?

Alrani: The writing's not the scary part, it's my tutor. My tutor is actually a very patient and knowledgeable person.

Is your tutor that terrible?

Alrani: Absolutely terrifying! Now, I'll have you know that my tutor is actually a very patient and knowledgeable person.

Alrani: But when it comes to "Essay-Writing Guidance", no matter what the tutor was like before, they all suddenly become super scary.

Alrani: So I still haven't been able to hand in my paper, and the deadline is getting closer and closer. My tutor must be losing patience.

Alrani: If I dare to go back to the Akademiya empty-handed, I've no doubt that he will banish me to sweep the library forever...

Alrani: As such I came to Inazuma to find less popular topics, such as the Inazuman people's living conditions under the Vision Hunt Decree...

(If the player has not completed Omnipresence Over Mortals)

Don't get caught again...

Alrani: I won't. I mean, I don't have a Vision. In Inazuma, this might actually be considered an advantage.

Alrani: I've worked out how to conduct the investigation, starting with recording the daily life of the people on this island.

Alrani: If you're interested, Traveler, you could come and help me with the recording.

Sure.

Do you want me to help you again?

Alrani: No. It's just that... I came to Inazuma alone, and I don't know anyone except for you.

Alrani: It would be comforting to work with the people I know.

(If the player has completed Omnipresence Over Mortals)

Well, just don't get caught again...

Alrani: I won't. I mean, I don't have a Vision... Which might've actually been considered an advantage, if the Vision Hunt Decree were still in force.

Alrani: I've worked out how to conduct the investigation, starting with recording the daily life of the Inazumans on this island.

Alrani: If you're interested, Traveler, you could come and do some recordings together with me.

Sure.

Need my help with something again?

Alrani: No. It's just that... I came to Inazuma alone, and I don't know anyone except for you.

Alrani: It would be comforting to work with people I know.

Alrani: Let's go. There are still a great many shops on this island for us to explore.

Alrani: Let's start with this one called Eipekkusu.

(Follow Alrani): Alrani: Traveler, I think pictures might be a good way to record the Inazuman lifestyle. That way, we can review them at a later date.; Alrani: Let's take a picture of Eipekkusu with the kamera [sic] first.

(After taking a photo of Eipekkusu and its owner, Kaede)

(Kaede comes out of her shop and walks up to the Traveler and Alrani)

Alrani: So that's what Inazuman specialties are like... Hmm...

Kaede: Hey, what are you doing?

Alrani: Hello! I'm Alrani, a scholar from Sumeru. I'm doing research on Inazuma for an academic paper.

Kaede: Investigating us at a time like this? So suspicious...

Kaede: I don't care what your purpose is. You're disturbing me, so just leave.

(Kaede returns to the shop and Alrani starts walking to the next location)

Alrani: The owner of this shop doesn't seem very friendly. Perhaps it might be better to go to a shop opened by an outlander? Let's look for one.

(After taking a photo of Syavushi Bakshesh Shoppe and its owner, Vahid)

(Vahid comes out of his shop and walks up to the Traveler and Alrani)

Vahid: Hey, what are you doing?

Alrani: Hello! I'm from...

Vahid: A researcher from the Akademiya, right? I didn't expect to see someone like you here...

Alrani: How did you...

Vahid: I just had to take one look at you to know you're a researcher. There's plenty of them back in Sumeru after all.

Vahid: Did you come all the way here from Sumeru to Inazuma for this... so-called "sociological study"?

Alrani: Yes. I'm just making some preparations. Are you also from the Akademiya...?

Vahid: No, I haven't the talent to be an academic. I'm just an ordinary businessman.

Vahid: Since you're writing a paper, you can record whatever you like here if you want, but first, let me give you some advice.

Vahid: The Outlander Affairs Agency is wary of outlanders like us, so remember to be a bit more restrained while you're doing your research.

Vahid: If you get into any trouble, it would be hard for an outlander like you, who's only just come to Inazuma, to extricate themselves.

Alrani: I... I understand, thank you!

Vahid: Well, off you go then. Start writing stuff down.

(Vahid returns to the shop and Alrani runs off to the wharf)

Alrani: Are businesspeople in Inazuma all so unwelcoming to strangers? Hmm... let's try someone else.

Alrani: There's the wharf up ahead. Maybe we can find try [sic] talking to a fisherman. Fishermen should be more relaxed.

(After taking a photo of the fisherman)

Obata: Hello! You two, what are you doing?

Alrani: Hello! I'm Alrani, a scholar from Sumeru. I'm doing some academic research here.

Obata: Research? I'm a fisherman. What's there to research?

Obata: And do you have permission from the Outlander Affairs Agency to do... suspicious things like that?

Obata: I heard from Gonshirou that this kind of behavior should be reported to the Agency first, right?

Never heard of it...

Why do you need a permit for such mundane things?

Alrani: Eh? Why? Is there such a thing? I've never heard that one before!

Obata: You're getting more and more suspicious by the minute... You'd better come and see Miss Kageyama with me.

Obata: She is an inspector with the Agency. She'd know how to handle your affairs.

Alrani: Wait, hold on. I'm really just an academic researcher... I'll go report to the agency later...

(Vahid arrives and interrupts the conversation)

Vahid: Mr. Obata, what's going on here? I could hear the row from all the way over there.

Obata: Oh, it's Mr. Vahid. Well, these two have been loitering around, claiming to be doing some kind of academic research.

Obata: But when I asked, they don't seem to have permission from the Outlander Affairs Agency. I was going to take them to see Miss Kageyama.

Vahid: Alrani, what are you running around for? Shouldn't you be helping at the store?

(What's going on?)

See, told you not to run around.

Alrani: Hey... Huh?

Vahid: You've been writing that paper for so long already. What's the point of rushing it now? Can't you see you're disturbing Mr. Obata?

Obata: Why? Mr. Vahid, this is...

Vahid: She's a scholar whom I invited from the Akademiya to work as a consultant for my shop.

Vahid: Because she is writing a paper about Inazuma, she's looking for inspiration around these parts.

Vahid: She just came over from the Akademiya, so she doesn't understand the rules around here.

Vahid: I'm still going through the procedures with the Outlander Affairs Agency, but she can't help running around sometimes... I'm sorry for disturbing you, Mr. Obata.

Alrani: Huh... Oh! I'm so sorry that I disturbed you, Mr. Obata...

Obata: Oh, it's fine. It was a misunderstanding on my part to begin with. I guess you really are a scholar.

Vahid: Alright, Alrani, come over here. We need to have a talk.

Vahid: Mr. Obata, please excuse me.

(Vahid and Alrani go up to his shop)

(Talk to Vahid or Alrani)

Vahid: *sigh* Didn't I just tell you? Don't do anything suspicious.

Vahid: The current situation in Inazuma is such that, if the Outlander Affairs Agency got involved, there would be no way to resolve things peacefully. Fortunately, I was paying attention to what you were doing.

Are things that serious?

Vahid: Yes, they are that serious. See the checkpoint in Ritou? If you want to enter Inazuma, you need to get a permit.

(If the player has not completed Omnipresence Over Mortals)

Is the situation so tense?

(If the player has completed Omnipresence Over Mortals)

Is the situation still so tense?

Vahid: I can't be too sure from where I'm at. But judging by how tense the Kanjou Commissioners are, the situation can't be good.

Vahid: See the checkpoint in Ritou? If you want to enter Inazuma, you need to get a permit.

Alrani: Oh no, does this mean I can't go to the other islands to collect data?

Vahid: Don't worry. I've asked around at the Outlander Affairs Agency before. As it turns out, it might be easier to get a permit if you apply under me, since I'm a businessman here in Inazuma.

Alrani: Th—Thank you... but why do you want to help me?

You're a kind soul.

Vahid: Well, I'm not going to turn down the praise...

Is this what they call "fellowship between countrymen"?

Vahid: Sympathy... well, a little. It's not often that I can meet someone from Sumeru in Inazuma.

Vahid: But really, I too wish to ask a favor of you.

Alrani: Oh? But I'm not a good salesperson...

Vahid: It's not about that. Well, this is somewhat embarassing, but...

Vahid: Although I'm in the fertilizer business, I don't know much about these fertilizers.

Vahid: When people ask me about the special characteristics of these fertilizers, I can only refer to the instructions that came with the packaging. I don't know enough to say anything more persuasive.

Vahid: If you're willing, I'd like you to help me think about... how to market them.

Vahid: At least, help me introduce them in a more persuasive manner, such that I'll be able to attract more customers.

Vahid: In return, I promise that I'll get a permit for you from the Outlander Affairs Agency so that you can enter other places in Inazuma

Vahid: What do you think? Do you agree?

Huh. So Sumeru does have people who aren't researchers of some kind...

Vahid: Of course. Not everyone can, or is willing to go to Akademiya to study and become a researcher.

Seems reasonable.

Alrani: Marketing... I did learn something similar to that at the Akademiya.

You've learned that, too?

Alrani: I've just read some relevant books. It's all theory — I've never put them into practice.

Alrani: After all, the Akademiya was no place to practice marketing in any way.

Alrani: But if I study the applications of these fertilizers, perhaps I can come up with some selling points that can be used in marketing.

Vahid: That would be great!

Vahid: Ah... Let's not just stand here and talk. You're probably hungry after all of that.

Vahid: Let me make you something to eat.

Vahid: Traveler, can you please help me find some food? I'll need a portion of Fish, a portion of Seagrass and a portion of Rice.

Leave it to me.

What are you going to make?

Vahid: Hahaha, it's nothing fancy, just an old recipe...

(Talk to Alrani again, optional): Alrani: What can you make with a portion of Fish, a portion of Seagrass and a portion of Rice, anyway?

(Talk to Vahid again)

Vahid: Have you found the ingredients?

(Item submission menu opens)

Vahid: Don't worry, it's more than sufficient. Just a moment. It'll be ready soon.

(Vahid prepares the food)

Alrani: Wow... It looks delicious. You're a great cook.

Vahid: Haha, if you live alone for a long time, you will naturally learn this kind of thing. Go on, dig in.

Vahid: I'm also doing this for the business. In the beginning, I was thinking about many different ways to market our fertilizer.

Vahid: One thing I thought of was to use the vegetables grown with my fertilizer as ingredients to make delicious food, which would help prove their efficacy.

Vahid: But later, I realized that the idea of cooking in a fertilizer shop was a little... inappropriate, so I gave up.

It is a bit out of place...

Vahid: Of course, now that I have Miss Alrani's help, I won't have to come up with these terrible ideas by myself.

Alrani: I'll do my best! But about the issue with the travel permit...

Vahid: Leave it to me. If there are no problems, it should be done in just a few days.

Vahid: Still, a researcher coming to Inazuma is a rare sight. What sort of paper are you writing?

Alrani: Ah, I, um, don't know. I don't know yet...

Alrani: I hope to finish the paper while I'm in Inazuma. If I can't get it done, I'll have to go back to the Akademiya to face the music.
