Dialogue

(First conversation): Liben: Hello there, friend! Long time no see!; Hey, Liben!; Liben: You're in good spirits, I see, hehe!; Liben: How've you been these days? Tell you what, I recently got a license to do business in Inazuma.; Liben: Have you been there?; I have.; Not yet.; Liben: Haha, no worries, no worries! I mean, I am here to brag, after all.; Liben: ...Not that there's much to brag about, though. I'm flat broke at the moment.; Huh!?; Liben: Basically, I took a commission from a researcher from Sumeru to bring a prototype card game named "Sacred Call of Seven" to Yae Publishing House in Inazuma.; Liben: Afterward, I chanced upon a business opportunity, and to that end, I purchased a lot of Ms. Hina publications, along with commemorative Taroumaru coins from the Komore Teahouse.; Liben: I don't really know why, but Inazumans really love this stuff. So there I was, thinking that I'd be able to make a quick buck...; Let me guess...; Liben: In the end, the deposit for the Taroumaru coins was stolen!; Liben: I mean, come on. Those things had commemorative value, so how could the price plummet so low from such a high value?; Maybe you shouldn't have bought high...; Liben: Either way, it's all over now — we're back to square one.; Liben: I trust that our deal's still on, all things in spite?

(Talk to Liben)

Liben: Ah, hello there. Need something?

I'm here to do some business.

(If you haven't submitted the items yet): Liben: The items needed today are as such.
(If you have already submitted the items): Liben: I thought you'd already taken a Box o' Marvels for today? That said, feel free to inspect the others. You'll see that I don't cheat any of my customers.

Can you run me through what happened to you again?

Liben: I'm Liben, and once upon a time I sold curios.

Liben: Recently, I lost all the money I made plying the trade route to Sumeru on my Inazuma venture. So it's back to the old business with me.

What kind of business is that?

Liben: Simple. You find me a few basic everyday items, cooking ingredients and the like, and then you trade them with me for a Box o' Marvels, full of all kinds of nice little treasures.

Liben: Keep in mind that I've filled these Boxes o' Marvels with the fortune I made in my time as a seller of curios. There's no booby prizes to be found here, and I treat all my customers the same.

Liben: Why box them up and turn it into a lucky draw, you ask?

Liben: What can I say, people like a gift box. It just makes everyone a little more inclined to get involved.

How are you going to earn any Mora like this?

Liben: I'll probably continue plying the Sumeru trade route.

Liben: Still, there's something fishy going on in Sumeru. Once I finish this job, I'm going to relax for a while.

Goodbye.

Liben: See you around.
