Agent: Banyue
Appearances: Billy Kid

(Idle): Banyue: You...; Billy: You...

(Talk to Banyue): Billy: Where did you get these mods done! They're so cool! You're like an upgraded version of the Starlight Knight villain the Black Hole!; Banyue: I'm sorry, but you are...?; Billy: I'm the justice-seeking Starlight Knight in training — Billy! The gleam of these twin guns is my calling card!; Banyue: Starlight Knight... what's that?; Billy: What! You don't know about the Starlight Knights? What are you, some ancient relic that just got dug up?; Banyue: Sorry... I've been living in Waifei Peninsula for so long, I honestly don't know much about the outside world. Please enlighten me.; Billy: Hey! No need to be so formal!; Billy: The Starlight Knights are the heroes who saved New Eridu!; Billy: When Black Hole strikes, when danger runs rampant, when everything falls into chaos—; Billy: The Starlight Knights make a dazzling entrance from the sky, with their victory theme playing!; Billy: Despite the danger to themselves, they pressed forward fearlessly, defeated the Black Hole, and saved everyone!; Banyue: I never knew New Eridu had such a history...; Don't listen to Billy's nonsense...; No such thing happened!; Billy: Manager! How can you say I'm just making things up?!; Banyue: You two... know each other?; Billy: Of course! The Manager's our ace at the Cunning Hares — we'd be lost in the Hollows without them!; Billy: Eh, wait a sec, you two know each other too?; Banyue: Mm, we met at Yunkui Summit. This is the hero of Yunkui Summit...; Banyue: Following your own analogy, that would make them the Starlight Knight from Yunkui Summit.; Billy: Holy cow, Manager! What kind of crazy stuff have you been up to lately?!; Uh... that's a bit of an exaggeration.; It was nothing, really.; Billy: Oh right Manager, I came to borrow the latest Starlight Knight videotape from you!; Billy: Since we're all friends, why don't we watch it together?; Banyue: Alright, I'd like to learn more about these Starlight Knights too.; You watched the latest Starlight Knight with Banyue and Billy...
The good news is, despite their polar opposite personalities, they hit it off surprisingly well; the bad news is, Banyue seems to think Starlight Knight is an actual documentary...; Trust increase with Banyue

(Idle): Banyue: So this is the Starlight Knight...

(Talk to Banyue again, optional): Billy: The Starlight Knights have done way more than that! We can check out the other videotapes some other time!; Banyue: I had no idea New Eridu had such heroes... Today was truly eye-opening.

Day of the Week: Monday, Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday

Agent: Banyue
Appearances: Officer Mewmew

(Idle): Officer Mewmew: You're working so hard...; Banyue: ?

(Talk to Banyue): Officer Mewmew: You've got it pretty rough...; Banyue: What makes you say that?; Officer Mewmew: Your precinct's limited edition costume looks really heavy.; Officer Mewmew: But that's understandable, having local features is part of the promotion.; Officer Mewmew: So, are you an ace Public Security Officer too?; Banyue: An ace Public Security Officer...?; Officer Mewmew: Don't you guys have that saying over there?; Officer Mewmew: Only an officer who can do their job, moonlight as Mewmew, all while keeping it secret from their coworkers, can stay as Officer Mewmew!; Officer Mewmew: I'm the finest in the district. No one has discovered my true identity under this costume yet, hehe~; Banyue: Sorry, uh... bipedal, humanoid cat officer...?; Banyue: You mentioned a costume just now... What costume?; Officer Mewmew: I mean the one you're wearing.; That's just how Banyue is.; Banyue isn't wearing a costume.; Trust increase with Banyue; Officer Mewmew: No way... really?!?; Banyue: Have I caused you trouble?; Banyue: Sorry, I rarely come to this area. Are there any rules here that require wearing some special... costume to pass through?; Officer Mewmew: No no, I thought you were an officer from another area.; Officer Mewmew: I mean, my keen intuition tells me you've got some serious moves!; Officer Mewmew: And your appearance... *ahem*... definitely matches Public Security's taste...; Banyue: I see... Thank you for the compliment, officer.; You really are a straight shooter, Banyue...; Compliment? That doesn't feel right...; Banyue: This officer doesn't seem like the kind of cat to tell lies — so what they're saying must be straight from the heart.; Banyue: It's a pleasure to have met someone with such fine taste today.

(Idle): Officer Mewmew: Don't forget to look me up next time you're around, hehe~

(Talk to Banyue again, optional): Banyue: Public Security has excellent taste.

Location: Lumina Square
Sub-Location: Outside Simmer Hotpot
Time of Day: 6AM - 6PM
Day of the Week: Thursday, Friday, Saturday

Agent: Banyue
Mentions: Dialyn

(Idle): Banyue: Hot pot...

(Talk to Banyue)

Banyue: Is this the place?

Hey Banyue, here to get some hot pot?

Banyue: What a coincidence running into you here.

Banyue: Dialyn recommended this hotpot place, and insisted I had to try it out.

Banyue: It's just...

You don't eat spicy food?

Something on your mind?

Banyue: Though I don't need to consume human food, living among humans for so long has made me curious enough to try a bite or two.

Banyue: As for spicy hotpot... I tried it once, a long time ago.

Banyue: The taste is fine, but the chili oil congeals on my surface and it's a pain to clean off.

Banyue: Last time I got a bit on me, I had to use heavy-duty cleaner and a stiff brush to scrub it off.

Banyue: If it penetrates too deep, I have to sand it down just to remove it all.

Banyue: That would be far too unbecoming...

That's quite the visual.

I see...

Banyue: But Dialyn was so enthusiastic, I couldn't bring myself to turn her down directly, so I had to promise I'd come give it a taste.

Banyue: That's why I'm out here hesitating.

How about we get a half-and-half hotpot?

Banyue: I hope it's not a bother. If you don't mind, that'd be perfect.

You have a half-and-half hot pot with Banyue. He spends the entire meal making sure the spicy oil doesn't get on his body, but it is obvious he's very pleased with the meal.

How about some clear soup?

Banyue: Clear soup is certainly an option.

Banyue thanks you and enters the hot pot restaurant to order a clear soup base.

Agent: Banyue

(Idle): Kid Who Can't Catch Fish: You must be great at catching fish!; Banyue: I'm not very good at this...

(Talk to Banyue): Kid Who Can't Catch Fish: You're so tall! And you've got a cat face! You must have eaten lots of fish!; Kid Who Can't Catch Fish: Help me out, please... I haven't caught a single one today.; Banyue: Such a delicate thing would be difficult for me to use.; Kid Who Can't Catch Fish: Then you must be great at getting in the water and catching fish too! You look super skilled.; Banyue: Hmm... That would be difficult.; What are you two talking about?; Are you fishing?; Banyue: This little one wants me to catch a fish for them.; Banyue: But I tend to break fishing rods easily, and as for getting in the water...; Are you afraid of water?; You're not waterproof?; Banyue: No, that's not it. My mechanical body's been modified multiple times, so water isn't an issue.; Kid Who Can't Catch Fish: Help me out, pleeeease...; Banyue: I'll sink...; Huh?; Banyue: Mm... I'll sink to the bottom.; Banyue: And you'd need a heavy-duty salvage ship to fish me out.; Banyue: I don't want to make such a big fuss and bother everyone again.; Again...?; Banyue: That's a memory from a long time ago.; Kid Who Can't Catch Fish: Uh... I won't bother you then, I'll just keep fishing for a bit longer.; Banyue: I've got another way.; Kid Who Can't Catch Fish: What's that?!; Banyue: Here's 2000 Dennies. From my experience, there's bound to be some fish vendors near the fishing spot.; Banyue: Simply buy one, and your current problem will be solved.; Trust increase with Banyue

(Idle): Banyue: It's rare for me to think back on that experience...

(Talk to Banyue again, optional): Banyue: I used to go fishing with my neighbors from Waifei Peninsula.; Banyue: After I couldn't catch anything despite fishing for ages, I jumped in to catch the fish myself.; Banyue: I'm sure you can guess what happened next.

Agent: Banyue

(Idle): Health-Conscious Old Man: Every martial artist must master this!; Banyue: Please guide me.

(Talk to Banyue): Health-Conscious Old Man: I've got some ancestral secret techniques. Wanna give 'em a shot?; Banyue: I'd very much appreciate your guidance, Sir.; Health-Conscious Old Man: You know how to quickly tighten your core?; Banyue: This is a basic martial arts principle — just focus your mind and channel your strength...; Health-Conscious Old Man: No, no, no! That's too much work.; Banyue: So... what's your suggestion?; Health-Conscious Old Man: Foul language... you know how to throw a few words around?; Banyue: Uhhh...; Health-Conscious Old Man: Try shouting "Fudge" a few times.; Banyue: Tsk...; Health-Conscious Old Man: Alright alright, no need to say it out loud, just chant it quickly and firmly in your head.; Banyue: ...; Health-Conscious Old Man: So, did you get what makes it so special?; Banyue: You can tighten your core in an instant! Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!; Banyue: Do you have any other methods? I'm willing to learn.; Health-Conscious Old Man: Hmm... I see your arms are quite muscular, which can lead to rounded shoulders and a hunched back. Let me teach you another move to help with that.; Health-Conscious Old Man: Just imagine having two points on your chest that can shoot out intense beams of light.; Banyue: No need to imagine it. That's something I can actually do.; Health-Conscious Old Man: ?; Banyue shows the old man the glowing light on his chest... The man's face takes on an indescribable expression.; Banyue: Hm?; Health-Conscious Old Man: *cough cough*... You're quite the gifted one, aren't you...; Trust increase with Banyue

(Idle): Banyue: Sir, do you have any other secret techniques?

(Talk to Banyue again, optional): Health-Conscious Old Man: As for other secret arts... let's save that for next time.; Banyue: Thank you for your tutelage today.

Time of Day: 6AM - 6PM
Day of the Week: Wednesday, Friday

Agent: Banyue
Appearances: Grace Howard

(Idle): Banyue: I—I'm going to call PubSec...; Grace: Just a moment, it'll be quick...

(Talk to Banyue)

Grace: Incredible! This antique-style mechanical design! Mr. Banyue, may I take a look at your internal drive system?

Banyue: That... I'm afraid that won't do.

Grace: I just have to pop off this little panel! Don't worry, I promise I'll put it back exactly how it was!

Banyue: In public like this? That'd be far too indecent.

Grace: At least let me do a full body scan... Good thing I brought my equipment with me, wow so that's what you look like inside...

Banyue: Y—You can't just say something like that! Cease the scan immediately!

Grace: How does your stone shell mesh so perfectly with your internal mechanics? What kind of adhesive did you use?

Banyue: P—Please, no more questions... they're way too personal.

Grace: Ah! I get it! You're embarrassed because you're not wearing your internal armor, right?

Grace: Hold up! I've got the latest titanium alloy armor plating right here! I just have to take this casing off first...

Banyue: Please stop!

Grace?

Banyue?

Grace: What luck! Quick, help me hold him down!

Banyue: Please help me stop this lady!

Hold Banyue

Grace: You... You too?!

Hold Grace back

Banyue: Phew...

Grace: I really mean no harm, I just heard some weird noises coming from Mr. Banyue's mechanical parts.

Grace: There's probably some wear and tear at the component joints, so I want to check it out for him.

Didn't look much like you were checking just now...

Looked like you were about to tear Banyue apart

Grace: I just got a little excited for a moment.

Banyue: Do you... really know this woman?

Grace is a very skilled mechanic...

Grace isn't really a creep.

After explaining things to Banyue, you stay by his side during Grace's inspection under his wary, suspicious gaze.

Grace: Mhm, just minor issues, but I don't have the replacement parts with me.

Grace: I'll come back to Waifei Peninsula another day and help you replace them then.

Grace: Catch you later!

Grace leaves in high spirits, while Banyue looks somewhat conflicted...

(Idle): Banyue: ...

(Talk to Banyue again, optional): Banyue: could [sic] you accompany me again when she next comes?; Sure.; Banyue: Thanks... I know she means well, but... well, that was rather intense.

Hollow Zero: Withered Domain

Help from White Star Institute

The squad has arrived at a safe spot that can be used as a temporary camp. A group of members from the White Star Institute are preparing to leave Hollow Zero.

"Are you an Independent Investigation Team? Good work! We're heading back to the outpost. There are some leftover supplies in the camp, so you can have them," said a member of the Institute.

They left a lot of supplies behind! Seems like they are going to come in handy!

Accept the offer

After bidding farewell to the Institute staff, the squad took a short rest at the camp. Among the leftover supplies, you found something that could be of help to the Agent Banyue.: Receive: (Affinity) Greater Heights ×1
You have regrouped and rested. All wounded squad members get healed, and all squad members have restored 20% of their Max HP.

Hollow Zero: Lost Void

Friendly Talk

Banyue: Please get some rest. The Hollow may be rife with danger, but I'll keep a sharp eye out.

Banyue: You say I look angry...? That's... just my combat stance...

(If Banyue has defeated the previous Boss using a heavy attack and is not a trial Agent)

Banyue: I was born to suppress the filth in the Hollow, yet in doing so, I committed unforgivable acts of slaughter...

Banyue: Now I've finally learned to break free from the shackles and doubts of my past, and seek my own path.

Banyue: The path of seeking may still be a confusing and easy-to-stray-from one, but fortunately, I have a true friend like Proxy to guide me forward.
