UI Quest Quest Description

Back in Inazuma, Yoimiya is preparing for a romantic journey...
(Approach Naganohara Fireworks)
Media:vo xglq201 1 naganohararyuunosuke 01.ogg Naganohara Ryuunosuke: Have you packed all your things? Make sure you've brought the onigiri and rice cakes your mother prepared.
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 01.ogg Yoimiya: Don't worry, I have them all! They're going to last me days!
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 02.ogg Yoimiya: Take care of yourselves while I'm out, and make sure you remind Mom to take her medicine on time.
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 03.ogg Yoimiya: If running the store gets a bit too much, take some time off and wait for me to return.
Media:vo xglq201 1 naganohararyuunosuke 02.ogg Naganohara Ryuunosuke: Oh, Yoimiya, your mother and I got so worried when we heard that you were going so far abroad.
Media:vo xglq201 1 naganohararyuunosuke 03.ogg Naganohara Ryuunosuke: We've never left the country, so we don't know how outlanders might view us Inazumans, or if they'd even be willing to speak to us...
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 04.ogg Yoimiya: Oh, relax! Outlanders are friendly and warm!
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 05.ogg Yoimiya: Look at Thoma from the Yashiro Commission. He's originally from Mondstadt, but everyone thinks he's a top-tier guy!
Media:vo xglq201 1 naganohararyuunosuke 04.ogg Naganohara Ryuunosuke: A mop-tier? What mop? Oh, do you mean the broken one at home? I just fixed it today, actually.
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 06.ogg Yoimiya: No, I said "top," not "mop"! You know, Thoma even sent us some wine from his homeland not too long ago.
Media:vo xglq201 1 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: We haven't heard this kind of friendly banter in a while, huh?
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 07.ogg Yoimiya: Oh, hey you two! It's been a long time, hasn't it?
Icon Dialogue Talk White You're as peppy as ever.
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 08.ogg Yoimiya: Hehe, I'm excited because I'm going on a trip soon!
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 09.ogg Yoimiya: Many things have changed. Lots of outlanders have come to Inazuma, and lots of Inazumans have gone out as well.
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 10.ogg Yoimiya: You two have been adventuring all over Teyvat, so you might not be able to understand, but for us, this is a long-awaited chance to go out and fulfill our dreams!
Media:vo xglq201 1 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: That's right, the Sakoku Decree is gone.
Media:vo xglq201 1 naganohararyuunosuke 05.ogg Naganohara Ryuunosuke: Ah, I remember you two. You're Yoimiya's friends, yes?
Media:vo xglq201 1 naganohararyuunosuke 06.ogg Naganohara Ryuunosuke: Word of your incredible accomplishments has spread throughout Inazuma. My daughter's a big fan of yours — she said she'd love to be like you two.
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 11.ogg Yoimiya: Hehe, c'mon, Dad... Who's never dreamed of becoming a hero?
Icon Dialogue Talk White You've done some heroic feats yourself.
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 12.ogg Yoimiya: Aw, thanks, but I'm just your average artisan. The quiet life suits me better.
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 13.ogg Yoimiya: But if an opportunity presents itself, why not try to show your stuff, right?
Media:vo xglq201 1 naganohararyuunosuke 07.ogg Naganohara Ryuunosuke: Alright, did you two come over today to order some fireworks?
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 14.ogg Yoimiya: Oh! Sorry, sorry, I got carried away.
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 15.ogg Yoimiya: While I'm gone, Dad's in charge of making fireworks. You've seen how skilled he is, so there's nothing to worry about.
Media:vo xglq201 1 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Oh, no, we aren't here to do business or anything. We just happened to be passing by!
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 16.ogg Yoimiya: Oh, so we're all here with time to spare. What a treat!
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 17.ogg Yoimiya: In that case, let's chat some more! I'm not in a rush, anyway.
Media:vo xglq201 1 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Sure! So, where are you planning to go?
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 18.ogg Yoimiya: No clue!
Media:vo xglq201 1 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Huh?
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 19.ogg Yoimiya: Hahaha! I say that, but I do have a travel goal: to see Teyvat's grandest meteor shower.
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 20.ogg Yoimiya: But I don't know when or where it'll happen, so I figured I can search while I travel.
Media:vo xglq201 1 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: ...That's it? No details? Nothing?
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 21.ogg Yoimiya: Not right now, since this meteor shower was originally something like a family legend.
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 22.ogg Yoimiya: A long time ago, the Naganoharas were inspired to create new fireworks after watching such a meteor shower.
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 23.ogg Yoimiya: Dad says that inspiration is a combination of what you see and what you know. Different people can see the same thing but have different thoughts.
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 24.ogg Yoimiya: Inazuma today is completely different from how it was in the past. If I can see this meteor shower, I'm sure I'll be able to come up with a new kind of firework.
Icon Dialogue Talk White Meteors and fireworks...
Icon Dialogue Talk White They do have some similarities.
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 25.ogg Yoimiya: I know, right? Of course, my main reason is that I want to go and look outside Inazuma, hehe.
Media:vo xglq201 1 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: No need to be shy about it! You gotta play hard when you get the chance!
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 26.ogg Yoimiya: You know, you're right, Paimon! Is it just me, or have you gotten wiser since we first met?
Media:vo xglq201 1 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: Hehe, Paimon loves being friends with you since you say such nice things!
Icon Dialogue Talk White Since you're going out to play regardless...
Icon Dialogue Talk White Why not make Sumeru your first stop?
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 27.ogg Yoimiya: Sumeru... I've heard of it. It has a ton of trees, a super impressive school, and a massive desert!
Icon Dialogue Talk White There's also a division of the school that specializes in studying the stars.
Media:vo xglq201 1 paimon 09.ogg Paimon: Yep, and everyone there is really smart, so Paimon's sure you'll get some answers from them about the meteor shower!
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 28.ogg Yoimiya: Really? But, won't research people make fun of me or something if I ask them about a legend?
Media:vo xglq201 1 paimon 10.ogg Paimon: We won't know if something's real or not unless we ask! Don't worry, we've got solid connections in there!
Media:vo xglq201 1 paimon 11a.ogg Media:vo xglq201 1 paimon 11b.ogg Paimon: Well, (‍he‍/she‍) does, anyway...
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 29.ogg Yoimiya: Wouldn't I be taking up your time, though? I doubt this was in your schedule...
Icon Dialogue Talk White It's fine. This way, your parents can be at ease.
Icon Dialogue Talk White I'll be your guide.
Media:vo xglq201 1 paimon 12.ogg Paimon: Exactly! Relax, Yoimiya. You've helped us plenty of times before.
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 30.ogg Yoimiya: Haha, alright! Then I accept your offer! Let's have some fun in Sumeru!
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 31a.ogg Yoimiya: Dad, you can have more peace of mind now that I'm traveling with them, right?
Media:vo xglq201 1 naganohararyuunosuke 08.ogg Naganohara Ryuunosuke: Hm? Ah, yes, your mother and I will be much more at ease.
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 32.ogg Yoimiya: Remember, you two also need to take care of yourselves! I'll be back soon.
Media:vo xglq201 1 yoimiya 33.ogg Yoimiya: Okay, let's head to Ritou and catch a boat there.
(Speak to Naganohara Ryuunosuke again, optional)
Media:vo dialog xglq201 naganohararyuunosuke 01.ogg Naganohara Ryuunosuke: Stay safe and have fun!
Icon Quest Step Step Description

Yoimiya wants to see a meteor shower with her own eyes, but doesn't know where she may be able to find one. In order to gain more relevant knowledge, you plan to take Yoimiya on a trip to Sumeru...
(Approach the Ritou dock)
During the Journey at Sea: You board a passenger ship bound for Port Ormos, enjoying the lovely ocean views along the way.
During the Journey at Sea: Yoimiya listens with rapt attention as you tell her of the events following the Vision Hunt Decree and of your various adventures in Sumeru.
During the Journey at Sea: The long voyage ends before you know it...
(The group arrives at Port Ormos)
Media:vo xglq201 2 yoimiya 01.ogg Yoimiya: Wow, so this is Sumeru?
Media:vo xglq201 2 yoimiya 02.ogg Yoimiya: That tree's huge... Is the port built on top of it?
Media:vo xglq201 2 yoimiya 03.ogg Yoimiya: And this place is amazing! It's way bigger than Ritou's port! There are also a lot more stores here.
Media:vo xglq201 2 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Oh, there's more cool stuff for you to see, don't you worry!
Icon Dialogue Talk White Port Ormos also took my breath away when I first arrived.
Icon Dialogue Talk White Welcome to Sumeru.
Media:vo xglq201 2 yoimiya 04.ogg Yoimiya: This place is awesome! I had heard people describe it, but nothing beats seeing a place for yourself...
Media:vo xglq201 2 yoimiya 05.ogg Yoimiya: If I hadn't seen the port with my own eyes, I could never have imagined such a place.
Media:vo xglq201 2 yoimiya 06.ogg Yoimiya: So, the school you were talking about... the Akademiya? Is it here?
Media:vo xglq201 2 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Nope. We have to head north from here and follow the river to reach Sumeru City.
Media:vo xglq201 2 yoimiya 07.ogg Yoimiya: Sumeru City, huh... I guess it's even more impressive than here?
Icon Dialogue Talk White They each have their own highlights.
Media:vo xglq201 2 yoimiya 08a 1.ogg Yoimiya: Looking forward to it! Heehee, I'm so excited!
Icon Dialogue Talk White The city has an even bigger tree.
Media:vo xglq201 2 yoimiya 08b 1.ogg Yoimiya: Even bigger!? Oh, I wonder if it's as grand as Sangonomiya Shrine...
Icon Dialogue Talk White It's a land of neverending theses.
Media:vo xglq201 2 yoimiya 08c 1.ogg Yoimiya: The...ses? Um, I don't know much about them, but they sound like something that's a cause for serious anxiety.
Media:vo xglq201 2 yoimiya 09.ogg Yoimiya: Whatever the case, why don't we go to Sumeru City?
Media:vo xglq201 2 yoimiya 10.ogg Yoimiya: Oh, I'm so excited that I don't even know what I should be doing anymore!
Media:vo xglq201 2 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: The important thing about going on a trip is to enjoy yourself! You don't have to think so hard.
Icon Dialogue Talk White How about we walk around here with you?
Media:vo xglq201 2 yoimiya 11.ogg Yoimiya: I'm just worried that if we don't get down to business soon, I'll take up too much of your time.
Media:vo xglq201 2 yoimiya 12.ogg Yoimiya: Hehe, but if you insist... then let's look around!

(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Fayez, optional)
Media:vo xglq201 2 fayez 01.ogg Fayez: (Business today is pretty good. I'll check the books later...)
(Approach Fayez's stall)
Media:vo xglq201 3 fayez 01.ogg Fayez: Welcome to Acara Crafts! Feel free to have a look around.
Media:vo xglq201 3 yoimiya 01.ogg Yoimiya: Wow, what are these? They're so cute!
Media:vo xglq201 3 fayez 02.ogg Fayez: This is our current best-seller, the Aranara Carving.
Media:vo xglq201 3 fayez 03.ogg Fayez: Their designs are based on the fairy tales that circulate amongst children, so they're very popular with them.
Media:vo xglq201 3 fayez 04.ogg Fayez: Miss, are you from Inazuma? This would be a great gift for you to bring back home.
Media:vo xglq201 3 yoimiya 02.ogg Yoimiya: Ooh, I know about Aranara! You two told me about them on the ship. I didn't think they'd be so cute! No wonder the kids like 'em.
Media:vo xglq201 3 yoimiya 03.ogg Yoimiya: Ooh, they're all so pretty. Lemme take a better look...
Media:vo xglq201 3 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Paimon knew Yoimiya would like this kind of thing.
Media:vo xglq201 3 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: But even she might have a hard time seeing a real Aranara...
Icon Dialogue Talk White They don't like being disturbed.
Icon Dialogue Talk White That's why we told her they're from fairy tales.
Media:vo xglq201 3 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Yeah... Sorry Yoimiya, but we need to keep our promise to the Aranara.
Media:vo xglq201 3 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: That said, Paimon doesn't think Yoimiya would mind too much.
Media:vo xglq201 3 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Her world's already chock-full of imaginary creatures.
Media:vo xglq201 3 yoimiya 04.ogg Yoimiya: I think I'll get this one... ooh! That one, and the other two that you showed me earlier.
Media:vo xglq201 3 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Eh? You're buying that many?
Media:vo xglq201 3 yoimiya 05.ogg Yoimiya: Yep! I'm going to give them out to Saika and the others. They're going to love them! Oh, and these carvings can also be used as prizes in matches against the Arataki Gang.
Media:vo xglq201 3 yoimiya 06.ogg Yoimiya: They'd also look great lined up by the window. Think about it — you wake up, and the first thing you see are these adorable critters.
Media:vo xglq201 3 yoimiya 07.ogg Yoimiya: Wouldn't they brighten up your entire day?
Icon Dialogue Talk White Let me cover some of the cost.
Icon Dialogue Talk White They start your day on the right foot.
Media:vo xglq201 3 yoimiya 08.ogg Yoimiya: Hehe, okay, thanks! In that case, you take your pick, too.
Icon Dialogue Talk White I'll go with this one.
Media:vo xglq201 3 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: ...For some reason, Paimon thinks it kinda looks like you, Yoimiya.
Media:vo xglq201 3 yoimiya 09.ogg Yoimiya: Now that you mention it, it kinda does!
Media:vo xglq201 3 yoimiya 10.ogg Yoimiya: "Hello, Nara Paimon. My name is Aramiya!" Plip-plod, plip-plod.
Media:vo xglq201 3 yoimiya 11.ogg Yoimiya: Is that how they talk? Hope I remembered correctly, hehe.
Media:vo xglq201 3 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: That was really good! Wow, great memory. We only talked about Aranara that one time on the boat.
Media:vo xglq201 3 yoimiya 12.ogg Yoimiya: That's because they're so interesting! I'm pretty good at remembering those kinds of things.
Icon Dialogue Talk White Could you please package these up for Aramiya?
Media:vo xglq201 3 fayez 05.ogg Fayez: Of course. Thank you for your patronage!
Media:vo xglq201 3 fayez 06.ogg Fayez: You all are an entertaining bunch. I hope you enjoy your time here in Sumeru!
(After the cutscene)
Media:vo xglq201 3 paimon 09.ogg Paimon: That's about it for Port Ormos. Next up is Sumeru City.
Media:vo xglq201 3 yoimiya 13.ogg Yoimiya: Alright. Let's get to it!
(Talk to Fayez again, optional)
Media:vo dialog xglq201 fayez 01.ogg Fayez: Thanks for your patronage. Hope you enjoy them!
(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Fayez, optional)
Media:vo xglq201 3 fayez 07.ogg Fayez: (I wonder what other Inazumans would think of the Aranara Carvings...)

(Approach the marked area in front of Menakeri's Treasure Shop)
Media:vo xglq201 4 yoimiya 01.ogg Yoimiya: Wow, this market is even busier than the one in Port Ormos.
Media:vo xglq201 4 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: This is Treasures Street. Up from here is the Akademiya... Oh! And in that tree trunk is the Grand Bazaar. They're both pretty special places.
Media:vo xglq201 4 yoimiya 02.ogg Yoimiya: I just saw a group of people come down, and they were all wearing the same outfit. Is that the Akademiya's uniform?
Media:vo xglq201 4 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: That's right. They also wear hats with different designs, depending on which Darshan they're in.
Media:vo xglq201 4 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: For example, we'll be looking for someone from Rtawahist. They know a lot about stars and stuff.
Media:vo xglq201 4 yoimiya 03.ogg Yoimiya: Does this mean that you need uniforms like those to get in and out of the Akademiya?
Media:vo xglq201 4 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Uh, Paimon doesn't think so...
Icon Dialogue Talk White Is something worrying you, Yoimiya?
(Yoimiya looks downward at her outfit.)
Media:vo xglq201 4 yoimiya 04.ogg Yoimiya: Um, won't we stick out if we go in like this?
Media:vo xglq201 4 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: So even you get shy, huh?
Media:vo xglq201 4 yoimiya 05.ogg Yoimiya: No, no, that's not what I meant. Let's pretend you're an Akademiya student, hard at work.
Media:vo xglq201 4 yoimiya 06.ogg Yoimiya: Then in comes a bunch of outlanders in strange clothes who gawk and run around everywhere...
Media:vo xglq201 4 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Oh, Paimon kinda gets what you mean.
Icon Dialogue Talk White We'll be a bit distracting, won't we?
Icon Dialogue Talk White We might even attract the matra's attention.
Media:vo xglq201 4 yoimiya 07.ogg Yoimiya: I don't think we have to be too self-conscious, but it's still something to keep in mind.
Media:vo xglq201 4 yoimiya 08.ogg Yoimiya: Why don't we look around here first? I've been wanting to see the "Zubayr Theater," anyway.
Media:vo xglq201 4 yoimiya 09.ogg Yoimiya: As for the Akademiya... let's go once I get myself a set of Sumeru-style clothes.
Media:vo xglq201 4 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Alright, but Paimon thinks you're overthinking it.
Icon Dialogue Talk White We'll find you a good tailor later.
Media:vo xglq201 4 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: Nilou might have some good recommendations!
Media:vo xglq201 4 yoimiya 10.ogg Yoimiya: Hehe, sounds good. If we can watch a performance of hers while we're at it, that'd be even better!
Media:vo xglq201 4 yoimiya 11.ogg Yoimiya: Alright, I'll be looking around here. I'm leaving the meteor shower inquiry to you two. Thanks a lot.
Media:vo xglq201 4 paimon 09.ogg Paimon: No problem! We'll be right back.
(Talk to Yoimiya again, optional)
Media:vo dialog xglq201 yoimiya 01.ogg Yoimiya: I won't go too far, and don't worry about me getting bored. I'm an expert at finding ways to pass time!
(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Yoimiya, optional)
Media:vo xglq201 4 yoimiya 12.ogg Yoimiya: (What to do first... Hmm, maybe I'll see what they're selling around here.)

(Walk past the doors in the Akademiya towards the House of Daena)
Media:vo xglq201 5 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: We said we were gonna find someone from Rtawahist, but now that Paimon thinks about it, no one really fits the bill...
Icon Dialogue Talk White Well, the previous Rtawahist sage was Azar.
Icon Dialogue Talk White Layla's probably having a tough time right now...
Media:vo xglq201 5 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Paimon thinks Alhaitham might know something, but... Paimon doesn't want to talk to him.
Media:vo xglq201 5 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Why don't we just ask around? Maybe we'll run into someone from Rtawahist.
(Nahida walks up from behind.)
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 01.ogg Nahida: Looks like you two are in a pickle. Why not consult someone who always tells you everything she knows?
Media:vo xglq201 5 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Nahida!? Why are you here?
Icon Dialogue Talk White Thanks for the scare.
Icon Dialogue Talk White Right on cue.
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 02.ogg Nahida: I'm here to meet with some researchers, but when I saw you two looking so troubled, I decided to follow.
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 03.ogg Nahida: Looks like I showed up just in time.
Media:vo xglq201 5 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Okay, we might as well tell you. We have a friend who's come to Sumeru...
You tell Nahida about Yoimiya and the meteor shower.
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 04.ogg Nahida: Hm, I see...
Media:vo xglq201 5 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Uh, your face says that it's gonna be a long time before the next meteor shower...
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 05.ogg Nahida: Um... My answer is going to be even more of a disappointment.
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 06.ogg Nahida: You may have heard that the stars are related to people's fates.
Media:vo xglq201 5 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Yeah, lots of times.
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 07.ogg Nahida: If the stars dictate destiny, then do you think that destiny is something that is unchanging and always follows predicted outcomes?
Media:vo xglq201 5 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: You have a point...
Icon Dialogue Talk White If that were so...
Icon Dialogue Talk White Rtawahist would have achieved one of their ultimate goals.
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 08.ogg Nahida: According to current Rtawahist research, a meteor shower is a celestial phenomenon that occurs due to the interference between many intricate fates.
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 09.ogg Nahida: Their appearance is highly random. Some have tried coming up with ways to predict their occurrence, but the results are less than reliable.
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 10.ogg Nahida: This is a far cry from folktales that claim meteor showers "come at certain times" and "bless all who witness them."
Media:vo xglq201 5 paimon 09.ogg Paimon: So you mean we won't be able to see one?
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 11.ogg Nahida: I'm sorry to disappoint you two.
Media:vo xglq201 5 paimon 10.ogg Paimon: If we tell this to Yoimiya, she'll be so disappointed...
Icon Dialogue Talk White She's been so excited this entire time...
Icon Dialogue Talk White This was a rare trip abroad for her.
Media:vo xglq201 5 paimon 11.ogg Paimon: What now? There has to be something we can do...
(‍Traveler‍): (Yoimiya's always genuine with everyone, and she does her best to protect the dreams of children.)
(‍Traveler‍): (Just like the time she hung out with the kids on the beach and talked with them about the Great Mujina Youkai.)
(‍Traveler‍): (And now, when she's the one who wants to see something, her fire has to be extinguished like this...)
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 12.ogg Nahida: Are you two okay? It seems the news hit harder than I expected.
Media:vo xglq201 5 paimon 12.ogg Paimon: Paimon just thinks this isn't fair to Yoimiya.
Icon Dialogue Talk White Good people should be repaid for their good deeds.
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 13.ogg Nahida: I get it. From how you described her, I can see that she is a kind and caring soul...
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 14.ogg Nahida: So why don't we take a page out of her book and protect her dreams with a well-intentioned "lie"?
Media:vo xglq201 5 paimon 13.ogg Paimon: Oh? How do we do that?
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 15.ogg Nahida: It'll be a story about a meteor shower. You'll accompany her on a brief journey, do a bit of work here and there, and then receive the meteor shower as a reward.
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 16.ogg Nahida: Well, I can't summon a real meteor shower, but if it's in a dream, I can help out.
Media:vo xglq201 5 paimon 14.ogg Paimon: Oh! That would be great, Nahida!
Icon Dialogue Talk White Thank you so much.
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 17.ogg Nahida: Compared to what you've done for me, this is nothing.
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 18.ogg Nahida: Use the meteor shower as a pretext to take Yoimiya all around Sumeru. Then, when you're ready, blow this.
Item Emberglow Leaf
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 19.ogg Nahida: I'll tell the Aranara in advance. Once they hear the whole story, I'm sure they'll be willing to help.
Media:vo xglq201 5 paimon 15.ogg Paimon: Hm, then the dream will probably be like the one we had in the Avidya Forest, when we first met Haypasia.[Note 1]
Media:vo xglq201 5 paimon 16.ogg Paimon: That was a real shocker! It was hard to tell that we were even in a dream.
Icon Dialogue Talk White Yeah, only later did we realize that.
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 20.ogg Nahida: Once the meteor shower ends and you all awaken from the dream, she'll probably realize what had happened.
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 21.ogg Nahida: If you tell her the truth at that point, she should be a lot less disappointed.
Media:vo xglq201 5 paimon 17.ogg Paimon: Mm-hmm, Paimon thinks this is the best way to simulate the meteor shower. Thanks, Nahida!
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 22.ogg Nahida: Hehe, you're welcome. I'm glad I could help.
Media:vo xglq201 5 nahida 23.ogg Nahida: Still, you two should get the story straight before you join up with your friend. If not, she's gonna see right through everything.
Media:vo xglq201 5 paimon 18.ogg Paimon: True. Let's discuss it on the way!
(The Traveler and Paimon walk outside the Akademiya.)
Media:vo xglq201 6 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: So, what we need to do is to make Yoimiya believe that the meteor shower is really happening, and be super convincing at how we sell it.
Icon Dialogue Talk White Complete some challenges, and then reap the rewards.
Media:vo xglq201 6 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Hmm... If Paimon wanted to go see a meteor shower, the things Paimon would focus on the most would be...
Icon Dialogue Talk White The start time...
Icon Dialogue Talk White ...And the perfect vantage point.
Media:vo xglq201 6 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Yes, exactly! We'll say we're trying to figure these two things out, but we'll actually be bringing Yoimiya around to see the sights and enjoy local food!
Media:vo xglq201 6 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: ...Well, easier said than done. We can't be too strict with our pretext, but we can't be sloppy with it either, or she'll see through it.
Media:vo xglq201 6 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: It'd be best if we could take a unique approach to making it fantastical, just like a real fairy tale. Hmm, this is gonna be hard...
Icon Dialogue Talk White This reminds me of the Plane of Euthymia...
Icon Dialogue Talk White When stars symbolizing wishes appeared in the sky.
Media:vo xglq201 6 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Ooh, that's right. Um, don't people also talk about wishing on a shooting star?
Media:vo xglq201 6 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: If we used wishes as the center of our story...
Icon Dialogue Talk White A meteor shower is something summoned by people's wishes.
Media:vo xglq201 6 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: Woah, that sounds great! Alright then, we need a specific wishing spot, or else the sky would be full of meteor showers.
Icon Dialogue Talk White We need a certain device to find this location.
Icon Dialogue Talk White Just like how Rtawahist requires their observational instruments.
Media:vo xglq201 6 paimon 09.ogg Paimon: And then while we're supposedly finding or making this device, we'll go around and have fun and eat good food!
Media:vo xglq201 6 paimon 10.ogg Paimon: Heehee, this is shaping up to be the perfect plot!
Media:vo xglq201 6 paimon 11.ogg Paimon: After all, the device can be anything and the location can be wherever. As long as we get Yoimiya to enter the dream at night, things will be fine.
Icon Dialogue Talk White You're getting ever smarter.
Media:vo xglq201 6 paimon 12a 1.ogg Paimon: This isn't about being smart, it's about being a good duo! The idea was yours, anyway. Paimon just knows what you wanna say!
Icon Dialogue Talk White Your brain always works so well when food comes up.
Media:vo xglq201 6 paimon 12b 1.ogg Paimon: There's nothing wrong with that! You should know Paimon pretty well by now.
Media:vo xglq201 6 paimon 13.ogg Paimon: Alright, alright, let's go. Yoimiya's probably sick of waiting for us.

Icon Quest Step Step Description

At the Akademiya, you and Paimon learn that meteor showers only exist in myths and legends. After giving the situation some thought, you decide to take a page from Yoimiya's book and fabricate an interesting story.
(Approach the marked area)
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 01.ogg Yoimiya: Thanks so much! If it weren't for your help, I would've gotten lost already.
Media:vo xglq201 7 avin 01.ogg Avin: It's no problem. I'll be heading home, then.
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 02.ogg Yoimiya: Just a minute, wait! This is for you.
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 03.ogg Yoimiya: This is an Aranara Carving I bought in Port Ormos. I heard it's very popular with kids, so here, have one.
Media:vo xglq201 7 avin 02.ogg Avin: It's alright, I didn't do much, really...
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 04.ogg Yoimiya: It's fine, take it! C'mon, just look at its big, happy smile!
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 05.ogg Yoimiya: You can display it at home or hang it on your wheelchair. It'll cheer you up.
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 06.ogg Yoimiya: That might sound silly to you... Like, why do you have to be happy just because it is?
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 07.ogg Yoimiya: But that's the magic of a smile. If you don't believe me, try it. Look at it a few times every day, and you'll understand.
Media:vo xglq201 7 avin 03.ogg Avin: ...Actually, I feel like I already do. You love talking, and you love smiling, too.
Media:vo xglq201 7 avin 04.ogg Avin: I just don't understand why you're so... positive. I've never met anyone like you before.
Media:vo xglq201 7 avin 05.ogg Avin: Sorry, I'm not very good with words. But since you say so, I'll accept your gift.
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 08.ogg Yoimiya: Want me to take you home?
Media:vo xglq201 7 avin 06.ogg Avin: It's okay, I can head back myself.
The child in the wheelchair leaves.
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 09.ogg Yoimiya: Oh, great timing, you two!
Media:vo xglq201 7 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Who was that kid?
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 10.ogg Yoimiya: Oh, her? Her name is Avin. I saw that she was looking quite forlorn, so I wanted to make sure she wasn't feeling left out or alone.
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 11.ogg Yoimiya: She was pretty shy at first, but I explained that I just arrived in Sumeru and had gotten lost, so I needed someone to help guide me...
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 12.ogg Yoimiya: She agreed and we made our way back here.
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 13.ogg Yoimiya: There were so many paths here, and they're all twisty-turny and up and down... It's hard navigating through them all.
Icon Dialogue Talk White Did she tell you what's on her mind?
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 14.ogg Yoimiya: No, she didn't want to talk about that, and I didn't ask. I get the feeling that it'll bring up some unhappy memories.
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 15.ogg Yoimiya: But if I had to guess, it's probably because she hasn't been able to explore the city for quite some time...
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 16.ogg Yoimiya: All she said was that she's sick and doesn't know when she'll get better.
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 17.ogg Yoimiya: Whenever we passed by busy crowds, she kept turning her head and taking in all the things around her. At first, I thought she was afraid that someone might bump into us...
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 18.ogg Yoimiya: But when I caught a glimpse in her eyes, I only saw yearning, and a deep sense of loss.
Media:vo xglq201 7 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: It's hard to not be down when something like that happens to you.
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 19.ogg Yoimiya: At first, she didn't really want to say anything to me at all — she just gave me yes and no answers.
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 20.ogg Yoimiya: But what I really saw was just another child, and asked all the same things everyone else did, about rugs, spices, cooking, and the differences between here and home.
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 21.ogg Yoimiya: Eventually, I think I earned her trust. Hehe, there were many things that she liked in the city after all.
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 22.ogg Yoimiya: I say that, but honestly, you two probably caught the majority of what she said.
Icon Dialogue Talk White She had already relaxed her guard around you.
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 23.ogg Yoimiya: Gotta start somewhere. Oh, by the way, did you guys learn anything about the meteor shower?
Media:vo xglq201 7 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: You bet we did, big time! You're in luck, Yoimiya — you'll be able to see the meteor shower from Sumeru!
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 24.ogg Yoimiya: Really!? Haha, that's great! If I had gone looking for it myself, I'm sure I would've missed it.
Icon Dialogue Talk White Well, not necessarily.
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 25.ogg Yoimiya: Huh? What do you mean?
Icon Dialogue Talk White Meteor showers appear in response to people's wishes.
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 26.ogg Yoimiya: They respond to wishes? Huh. I've never heard that one before...
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 27.ogg Yoimiya: So it's not that you wish upon shooting stars, but that wishes summon them?
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 28.ogg Yoimiya: Hehe, in that case, I was born ready! Don't you worry!
Media:vo xglq201 7 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Are you talking about how you want to use the meteor shower as inspiration for fireworks?
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 29.ogg Yoimiya: That's why I'm here, but I wouldn't call that my wish. I don't think that alone will call the stars down for us, right?
Media:vo xglq201 7 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Uh, yeah, that makes sense.
Media:vo xglq201 7 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: (Wow, she's adding her own spin onto this...)
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 30.ogg Yoimiya: If that's the case, then we'll have to "practice" wishing a little.
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 31.ogg Yoimiya: Can you two come with me? Let me put my thoughts together, and tell me if you understand.
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 32.ogg Yoimiya: As for what my wish is... Hehe, it's a secret for now.
Icon Dialogue Talk White How about a change of scenery?
Icon Dialogue Talk White Let's go someplace that better fits the mood.
Media:vo xglq201 7 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Yeah, and we'll take the opportunity to show you some views you've definitely never seen before!
Media:vo xglq201 7 yoimiya 33.ogg Yoimiya: More places to see? Alright, let's go!

Trivia

Paimon: 做梦的话,应该和我们在道成林遇到海芭夏那时候一样吧。 "If it's a dream, then it should be like that time when we were in Avidya Forest with Haypasia."
Paimon: 作为惊喜,确实不容易被察觉到。 "So for a surprise, it really will not be noticed easily."
Icon Dialogue Talk White 嗯,后来才意识到进入了梦中。 "Mm, only later did [I] realize [I] was in a dream."

Notes

  1. This line and the two lines that follow are erroneous, as Paimon in reality was not with the Traveler during their Aranara-induced dream. See Trivia for further information.
