Quest Description

Mondstadt's crisis has passed, but Cyrus seems... unhappy?

(Talking to Cyrus)

Cyrus: Bah, Stormterror was defeated, just like that? We didn't even get the chance to take the stage...

What's the matter?

Cyrus: Oh, if it isn't the Honorary Knight. The storms have ceased, and Stormterror has been defeated.

Cyrus: This is a good thing, yes... But couldn't Stormterror have put up a bit more of a fight?

Cyrus: And here I was thinking that after clearing the monsters surrounding the city out, we could select some elite adventurers to form a team of dragon hunters to challenge Stormterror!

Cyrus: But just as we were having trouble finding a healer, Stormterror was defeated.

Cyrus: We also need to help the citizens find cats and dogs, send meals and clean house... At this rate, we'll have lost our opportunity for sure...

Cyrus: *sigh* Let's leave that aside for now. I've heard from our scouts that there are still monsters wandering the Whispering Woods.

Cyrus: But our forces are scattered throughout the wilds and cannot return, and I must handle some assorted matters.

Cyrus: Could I trouble you to go to the Whispering Woods and see to the situation there?

Sure.

Cyrus: Thank you. I will be handling commissions here...

Cyrus: A signboard blown away by the wind... Flowers blown away by the wind... A lost cat... *sigh* It is as I expected...

I have other matters to handle...

Cyrus: Ah. Go about your business, then. Now that Stormterror has been vanquished, these things aren't so urgent...

(Dialogue ends)

(Approaching the first location): Paimon: Look at all those barrels of Pyro Slime! Only those monsters would dare do something so dangerous. Let's help them clear these away, shall we?

(Approaching the second location): Paimon: Look at this tower... Are the monsters preparing to build a camp here?

(Approaching the third location): Paimon: Hmm... Paimon's got a bad feeling about this bonfire. Wonder what they could be using it for?
(After defeating all the monsters): Paimon: There's still so many monsters... Seems we've only seen the beginning of them...; Paimon: Let's go tell Cyrus what we've seen here.

(Talking to Cyrus): Cyrus: Back so soon? Well then, I suppose nothing serious is happening...; No, there's still a lot of monster activity.; Cyrus: What? There are still monsters wandering around, and in even greater numbers than before?; Cyrus: That's strange. Wasn't the large force that attacked Mondstadt defeated previously? Why are they still skulking about in the area?; Cyrus: Could they have some other plans? ...I must gather the adventurers and re-issue our commissions. We cannot take these monsters lightly.; Cyrus: Conducting careful investigations into the activities of monsters in the wild falls within the purview of the Adventurers' Guild. It's time to show everyone what we're made of!; Cyrus: Ah, yes. Please take these for your efforts.

↑ Spanish: Although pasado can mean "past" in relation to time, here it instead refers to "past" in relation to position, as the idiom uses a river's water for the metaphor, which roughly summarizes to "the water that has already passed, has passed and will not come back."
