Dialogue
Sisterly Reunion
Thanks to Yae's "generous concession," you are able to head down the mountain to clean the flyers up...
- (Talk to Miyuki)
- Miyuki: *humming* ...
You look very happy...- Miyuki: Of course, Lady Yae personally assigned this task to me!
- (Condition 1 — If World Quest Tatara Tales in Series Tatara Tales has not been completed)
-
- Miyuki: I've been dealing with something down in Tatarasuna for a while, so I hadn't seen Lady Yae in a long time.
- Miyuki: Progress has been slow there lately, so I thought I'd come back and see what's been going on here... I have to say, I was not expecting to see all these flyers!
- (Condition 2 — If World Quest Sakura Arborism has not been completed)
-
- Miyuki: Oh, it's you, Traveler. Long time no see.
- Miyuki: Progress has round to a halt in Tatarasuna lately, so I thought I'd come back and see what's been going on here... I have to say, I was not expecting all these flyers!
- (Condition 3 — If Sakura Arborism has been completed)
-
- Miyuki: Oh, it's you, Traveler. Long time no see.
- Miyuki: Lady Yae has instructed me to clean up all the flyers on the mountain. As for why someone would put these up at a shrine in the first place...
- Miyuki: Unbelievable. Who was behind it, I wonder?
- Miyuki: Huh? Who's that standing behind you...?
- Kuki Shinobu: Ahem... Miyuki. It's been a while.
- Miyuki: Shinobu! You... you...
- Miyuki: ...You finally decided to come back!
- Kuki Shinobu: Sorry, no... I'm here for other reasons.
- Miyuki: Aw, really... The whole family's worried about you. They might not always say the right thing, but deep down—
- Kuki Shinobu: I'm doing fine, and there's no need to worry about me. There. Just tell them that.
- Miyuki: I'm gonna need more to go on than that! What's this I've been hearing from visitors that you've joined some sort of gang since returning from Liyue? That's not the worst of the rumors, either...
- Miyuki: As unlikely as it sounds, I have to ask... Shinobu, did you get tricked into this, or something?
- Kuki Shinobu: I was just about to fill you in on that side of things. As it happens, the "gang" I work for...
- Kuki Shinobu: It's actually a legitimate international organization.
- Miyuki: Really!?
Really!?- Kuki Shinobu: Shush! Ahem, our organization brings together the brightest talents from all over the world, including (Traveler), for instance...
- Kuki Shinobu: A prominent figure in both Mondstadt and Liyue who has recently joined us as our "chief advisor."
Greetings.
Nice to re-meet you.- Miyuki: Wait... Lady Yae did mention something about a world-renowned Traveler. So... that's you?
The pleasure is all mine.
Yes indeed.- Kuki Shinobu: That's right. A large part of the reason I traveled all the way to Liyue was for the opportunity to build contacts with these prominent individuals.
- Miyuki: I see... Well, that makes sense. So, what is the name of this organization?
- Kuki Shinobu: ..."The Arataki Gang."
- Miyuki: Huh? "The Arataki Gang"? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before...
- Miyuki: Wait... That's the name on these flyers!
- Kuki Shinobu: Ahem! I can explain, that was all due to a marketing campaign gone wrong. We came to the shrine today to clear up the misunderstanding.
- Kuki Shinobu: Heh... Our organization is relatively new to Inazuma, and one recurring issue we've had is people misinterpreting what we're about.
- Kuki Shinobu: So we engaged a local marketing agency to help us communicate our ethos and philosophy more effectively.
- Kuki Shinobu: Unfortunately... something must have gotten misunderstood along the way, because the results were quite a disaster.
- Kuki Shinobu: Although the fault lies overwhelmingly with our partner agency in this case, as a responsible organization, we think we should be the ones to apologize and deal with the fallout.
- Kuki Shinobu: So yeah, we can deal with this and you can go ahead and get back to the shrine...
- Miyuki: No way! This task was assigned to me by Lady Yae herself!
- Miyuki: Look... we can clean up together, can't we? Besides, I also want to hear all about this Arataki Gang...
- Kuki Shinobu: (Ugh... it's like she's predicted my every move.)
- Kuki Shinobu: *sigh* Alright, fine. The flyers aren't particularly sticky. If we soften them up with water or loosen them up with wind, they'll probably peel right off.
Hearsay
- (Examine the first flyer)
- Arataki Gang Flyer: "Stick It to the Man, Join the Arataki Gang!"...
- (Clean the first flyer)
- Miyuki: "Stick It to the Man, Join the Arataki Gang!"...
- Miyuki: Um, how do I put this... The artistic style of your marketing material is very...
- Kuki Shinobu: Ahem, it's largely inspired by the "abstract style" which is very popular in Mondstadt right now, and also incorporates elements from Liyue's ink wash paintings.
- Kuki Shinobu: We paid top Mora to hire a professional artist for this, and while the finished product is a little... um, avant-garde...
- Kuki Shinobu: ...that's exactly in line with the Arataki Gang's spirit of being fearlessly creative and radically disruptive.
- Miyuki: I, uh... I see.
- (Examine the second flyer)
- Arataki Gang Flyer: "Arataki Numero Uno Itto: Ousting His Foes Like a Sumo Supremo!"
- (Clean the second flyer)
- Miyuki: "Arataki Numero Uno Itto: Ousting His Foes Like a Sumo Supremo!"
- Miyuki: This Arataki Itto, is he your... leader in Inazuma? I've heard a few rumors...
- Kuki Shinobu: Ahem! Mr. Arataki is a pioneering genius and the face of our organization. Naturally, plenty of our competitors seek to smear him.
- Kuki Shinobu: Mr. Arataki is generous and easygoing by nature, and is reluctant to get bogged down with fighting spurious allegations. Plus, the fact that he is an oni can make certain topics a little tricky to navigate...
- Kuki Shinobu: Nevertheless, we still reserve the right to sue for defamation if it comes to it.
- Miyuki: Really? Wow, that sounds tough...
- (Examine the third flyer)
- Arataki Gang Flyer: "The Arataki Gang Is Filled With Folks Who Talk the Talk and Walk the Walk!"
- (Clean the third flyer)
- Miyuki: "The Arataki Gang Is Filled With Folks Who Talk the Talk and Walk the Walk!"
- Miyuki: It looks like there are some members mentioned on the back... Mamoru, Genta, Akira...
- Miyuki: Hold on, if your organization has so many members, how come you and the chief advisor had to come and apologize in person?
- Kuki Shinobu: Um... Well, first and foremost, we wanted to convey our most heartfelt apologies to the shrine and to Lady Guuji.
- Kuki Shinobu: Secondly, the other members are dealing with more pressing issues. Right now, they're in talks with our external marketing team about this incident.
- Kuki Shinobu: Mamoru and the others have... um, far greater legal expertise and negotiating skills than I do, so they had to be the ones attending the talks.
- Miyuki: Wow, the Arataki Gang managed to find staff even more qualified than you? Now that is impressive.
- (After cleaning all flyers)
- Miyuki: Alright, I think this area is looking good now. Let's head down the mountain.
Uninvited Guests
- (Approach the location)
- Kuki Shinobu: Mam— Ahem! What are you doing here?
- Mamoru: Shinobu! We're so sorry!
- Genta: We've come to our senses now. We can't let you face the shrine alone!
- Akira: Even though we're still a little scared... actually, I'm feeling a little weak in the knees...
- Genta: Hang in there, Akira! We gotta do this, we have to go and apologize to her in person!
- Miyuki: Huh... Akira?
- Kuki Shinobu: Don't worry about them, Miyuki. Let's get down the mountain and clear up those flyers...
- Mamoru: It's alright, Shinobu! We've already gotten rid of all the flyers down there!
- Miyuki: Huh? You cleaned up already? But I thought Shinobu and the Traveler were the only ones who came...
- Genta: We came here as quickly as we could after we'd finished apologizing in the city. After all, this was all our fault.
- Akira: Mamoru, Genta, and I were the ones who came up with the idea of the boss designing his own flyers, and we were the ones who put them up all over town and got arrested for it... So, it just seems wrong to make Shinobu face that woman at the shrine all by herself.
- Miyuki: Mamoru and Genta...? Arrested? The flyers were designed by the boss?
- Kuki Shinobu: Oh...
Busted.- Miyuki: What the heck is going on here, Shinobu? Does this mean that the rumors I heard are...
- Kuki Shinobu: True, yes. Most of them, anyway.
- Miyuki: So... What happened, did you get tricked into joining them? If the rest of the family hears about this, oh goodness gracious...
- Kuki Shinobu: No, I joined of my own free will.
- Kuki Shinobu: It's not as spectacular as I was making it out to be, but I'm happy with what I'm doing.
- Kuki Shinobu: Go ahead and tell the family if you want. Tell them everything. I don't think being a member of the Arataki Gang is anything to feel ashamed about.
- Kuki Shinobu: Even if you drag me back kicking and screaming, you know I'll only find a way to escape again.
- Mamoru: Uh-oh... I have a feeling we've messed up again...
- Genta: Is she... going to turn Shinobu in? Hey, we're the ones who messed up the shrine! Shinobu had nothing to do with it!
- Akira: Where's that other lady? B—Bring her out, go on! She'll... she'll confirm it was all our fault!
- Miyuki: *sigh* ...I'm at a loss for words, Shinobu. I really am.
- Miyuki: Alright, alright. I promise I won't tell anyone at home. Don't worry.
- Kuki Shinobu: ...What?
- Miyuki: You're not a little kid anymore, and you're more widely traveled and have met more people than any of us.
- Miyuki: At the end of the day, it's your choice what you decide to do.
- Miyuki: And I have to say, the rumors do unnerve me a little bit, but... look, they came here to support you, despite obviously being terrified of Lady Yae.
- Miyuki: Since you've chosen the Arataki Gang, just promise me you'll do your best to make all the things you used to talk about come true.
- Kuki Shinobu: Aw, sis...
- Mamoru: Wh—What's going on here?
- Genta: I don't know, but it looks like...
- Akira: Maybe... we don't need to get that terrifying lady to come and confirm our story after all?
- Miyuki: Besides, if even (Traveler) has decided to join...
- Miyuki: Then the future of the Arataki Gang looks very bright, doesn't it?
Heh, actually, I...
About that "Chief Advisor" thing...- Kuki Shinobu: Ahem! Chief Advisor, if you'd like to discuss the Arataki Gang's future development, let's step to the side, please!
