The traveler receives a call from the Crux Fleet Captain.

Beidou?
Yep, it's me!

Heh, heh. I'm not surprised Ningguang mentioned me. And I'm glad she gave you my number.

Straight to business, huh? You sure you don't wanna talk about the weather first?
Well, the weather sure is lovely today!
Clear skies… nice moderate temperature…
Perfect day to set sail, am I right?

Which is a segue into what I want to discuss with you:
I want to go to Inazuma.

. . .

Wait, really?
Just like that?
No questions, no nothing? You'll just… take me there?
What's the catch?

. . .

A fighting tournament? Well, I don't have a vision, so I'm in luck. Otherwise, I might've needed Paimon to go compete in my stead, haha!

Well, it should be fun.
What are we working with?
Two stocks; omega stages; no items, Miis, or Smash meter; and OG fighters only?

Wha?!
But I thought you said it was a Smash Tourney!
Oh wait, all fighters except Pokemon and Fire Emblem? I can work with that.
Though, Roy was my main back in the 3ds version, so I'll be at a disadvantage. Time to brush up on my Falco, I guess. Or Joker.

Dang, I never knew Liyue had a Smash community.
This tournament is gonna be sick!

Anyhoo, I don't really need a vision. I'm not exactly interested in one either.
I just need to get to Inazuma for the next part of my journey. And also because the game says so.

Extra passengers?
Nope! Just myself, Paimon, and… er… yeah, just the two of us.
Unless you're planning on taking anyone else.

Er… no, I'm not inviting anyone to come with me…
I mean, if someone wanted to come, I wouldn't object.
But you know, everyone has their lives over here and my journey will continue over there!

. . .

You're right, I don't want to leave yet.
Heh. Lot on my mind, I suppose.

You sure you're okay with me sharing? I mean, we only just met.
Heh. Thanks, Beidou.

Well, you see…
I don't think I'm ready to leave my friends behind.
Once I go to Inazuma, I'll be stuck there, right?
Well, okay, I can just use teleport waypoints to escape.
But the point is, once I leave, my focus will be on my quest.

I built up a lot of great relationships here in Liyue and back in Mondstadt too!
I don't want to just… disappear! I care about all my friends…
Of course, they can still visit my Serenitea Pot, now that I think about it….

But it's just not the same.
I'll miss the locations too. I'll miss spending way too much Mora on shoes for Keqing during her shopping sprees, and I'll miss taking a stroll around Liyue Harbor with Ganyu. I'll miss investigating ruins with Mr Zhongli, and I'll miss falling off the top of cliffs to prank Xiao into catching me.

I should… stay for a little while?
I mean… I suppose there's no rush to go to Inazuma. The game lets me put the quest on hold until I'm ready….
That's a good idea, honestly. I'll just stay here for a little while longer.
I've spent all my time dealing with quests, so I just need some time to hang out and enjoy the place.

Thanks, Beidou. You're a really good listener, haha!
This is supposed to be my job! Hehe.
How about I drop on by to submit my registration and I'll bring some food?
Just as a thank you for listening to me and helping me.

Aight, sounds good. Thanks again!
See ya!
