To Ensnare a Prey/Story

Millelith: Excuse me, the Qixing sent me to Yanshang Teahouse to find an intelligence expert, someone who has a unique temperament that is recognizable at first glance. I assume you are the very expert that I'm looking for.

Yelan: Is that so? Looks like my assistance is required.

Millelith: Yes. There have been leaks of information in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The Qixing believe that you must have some clue.

Millelith: We hope that you can help us find the suspect and the Millelith will take care of apprehending this culprit.

Millelith: These are what we know and found so far.

Yelan: A prime suspect in a case of leaking confidential information from the Ministry of Civil Affairs...

Yelan: No wonder you came to find me. Very well. Return to Yanshang Teahouse three days later at noon with your men and I will deliver the culprit to you.

Millelith: Yes, ma'am.

(Three Days Later)

Yelan: How is everything going? Any news from the mines lately?

Jittery Former Cashier of the Mines: The mine has a strange atmosphere these days.

Jittery Former Cashier of the Mines: We often hear noises and quaking tremors at the place with huge pillars next to the area we are mining.

Jittery Former Cashier of the Mines: And then we also hear footsteps of people running! Boss, is it...

Yelan: Perhaps it's a spirit. I've seen some of those before, there's nothing to be scared of.

Jittery Former Cashier of the Mines: Boss, you are so skilled in martial arts, of course you're not afraid.

Jittery Former Cashier of the Mines: I am but an ordinary person without a Vision. I can't stand up against those horrifying things.

Yelan: How was your treasure-hunting harvest at the secret spot I told you last time?

Greedy Treasure Hoarder: Oh yes, thanks to your intel, we found a fortune and all the boys got a generous share!

Greedy Treasure Hoarder: However, chests around The Chasm's mines are harder to find recently.

Greedy Treasure Hoarder: Hehe, do you know where we can still find chests?

Yelan: You know the rules - you gotta trade intel with intel.

Greedy Treasure Hoarder: Uh... Intel is really scarce in places like the mines. Nothing that is worth your attention happened recently.

Greedy Treasure Hoarder: How about I contact you as soon as I get any news?

Yelan: How's work lately? Here's a letter your father asked me to bring.

Honest Street Cleaner: Thank you so much!

Honest Street Cleaner: I've been too busy with work to go home and take care of my father. You really helped me out by delivering my letter to him.

Honest Street Cleaner: I don't know how I can thank you enough, I can't even give you a decent gift in return...

Yelan: Don't worry about it. You actually gave me what I needed back then. I helped you deliver the letter to return the favor.

Yelan: So, let's set this aside for now. Have you seen anyone who stands out?

Honest Street Cleaner: I gave you what you needed? I don't remember… but as for people who stand out, I did see a couple of them.

Honest Street Cleaner: I saw a young woman wearing a mask at the pier some days back and she was accompanied by a very noisy big guy.

Honest Street Cleaner: Judging by their attire, they were probably from Inazuma.

Gluttonous Spicy Food Lover: Hello, what do you need me for? I have to say that the two receptionists at the door are as fierce as usual.

Gluttonous Spicy Food Lover: They stopped me from entering, saying things like "No entry without invitation." But guess what, they turned pale when I showed them the invitation!

Gluttonous Spicy Food Lover: Haha, I didn't expect you to be the new boss of the place.

Yelan: It's a long story, haha.

Yelan: I invited you here today because I wonder if you have seen a blond-haired Traveler recently.

Yelan: I heard this Traveler invented a new spicy dish. I'm very curious.

Gluttonous Spicy Food Lover: Oh! That person is a popular figure in Liyue now, everybody knows that Traveler.

Gluttonous Spicy Food Lover: I heard the Traveler has gone to Inazuma and hardly ever appears in Liyue's restaurants anymore.

Gluttonous Spicy Food Lover: Hmm, but I've never heard of the invention of this new spicy dish. Right, how about dining at Wanmin Restaurant sometime? My treat!

Gluttonous Spicy Food Lover: Their Dried Yuejun Chili really is something! I knew your recommended secret menu would be just amazing!

(Select Greedy Treasure Hoarder)

Yelan: Case closed. He's all yours. I bet he still doesn't have a clue on how he gave himself away.

Yelan: Where to next? Let's roll the dice to decide.
