Opening 9
.
Three weeks have passed since the end of the Irodori Festival as Lucius and Paimon are now back in Liyue Harbor.
Paimon: Say Lucius, Sumeru is West of Liyue right?
Lucius: Yeah, that's what I've been told. We've never been given the world map of Teyvat despite our travels.
Paimon: Kinda weird though.
Lucius: Yeah but it's whatever. We somehow never get lost despite never actively having a map.
Paimon: That's cause you have an amazing guide with you!
Lucius: Yeah, it's called my brain.
Paimon: It's called Paimon! The guide is Paimon!
Lucius: Sure, sure.
Lucius brushes her response and continues walking.
Paimon: Hey! At least acknowledge it!
???: Ah, you're the Young Master's friends. How do you do?
The two stop and see Xu, a loyal servant of the Feiyun Commerce Guild waving at them.
Lucius: Oh, hey Xu.
Xu: Please accept my apologies, but I have something to ask of you. Is this a good time?
Lucius: Sure, speak your mind.
Xu: Well, here's the situation: there's this friend of mine named Muning who often helps us in business matters. It's just that he wound up owing a small sum of Mora to the Yanshang Teahouse in recent days, leading to him asking our young master for help...
Xu: And the young master agreed without a second thought! Interest-free, if I might add. A most generous spirit... But best not one used while doing business, I fear.
Paimon: Oh, come on, he was just doing a guy some justice. Isn't that a good thing?
Xu: Yes, of course... But as you can see, Young Master Xingqiu has gone out to "right wrongs and enact justice," while I'm a little tied up with work back here. As such, the only person we can trust with the matter of delivering the Mora is you. He should be working at The Chasm. He basically lives there, so I doubt you'll miss him.
Lucius: Isn't The Chasm closed, though?
Xu: Well... You are the great hero of Liyue. Perhaps it might still be a bit of a tall order to ask for huge favors, but I'm sure some people might be willing to make small exceptions for you, yes?
Lucius: Hm, I guess so...
Xu: I believe that you'll be able to accomplish this task. If you do get stopped at the gates, though, come back here and we'll use some other methods instead.
Lucius: Well, I'll help for Xingqiu's sake.
Xu: Thank you so much!

After a bit of a trek, Lucius and Paimon find Muning in the Glaze Peak area of the Chasm.
Muning: Ten crates of meat, ten crates of vegetables, various amounts of firewood and camping equipment to be given to the Millelith outpost... Three crates of various ores to be sent to the Huishan Hall warehouse in exchange for spare parts for tools... in various amounts...
