==Dialogue==
;(Talk to Jiayi)
:Jiayi: Ah, it's been a long time since I was last at Qingce Village. Little Liu, Daddy misses you so much...
: Is everything alright?
:Jiayi: Oh, it's you, traveler. Thanks for your concern. Nothing's wrong. I just... miss my daughter.
:Jiayi: I told her that once this shift ended, I'd take leave to spend some time with her for a few days at Qingce Village.
:Jiayi: But who knew that such a huge thing would suddenly happen in Liyue Harbor. Not only was every soldier on leave recalled, but everyone at their post has also had their leave canceled.
:Jiayi: Now we have to man our stations all day. Forget taking leave, I need to find someone who can take over my post even if I want to get a sip of water.
:Jiayi: I'd prepared my gifts, too — a huge bag of toys... But what shall I do with it now?
:Jiayi: That's right! Traveler, could I ask you to bring these toys to my daughter, Little Liu? She stays at Qingce Village. If you ask Granny Ruoxin, you're sure to find her.
: Lay it on me.
::Jiayi: Oh, thank you, thank you so much!
:;(Obtain Jiayi's Gifts)
: I've got other matters to attend to.
::Jiayi: Alright. Qingce Village is such a long way off, anyway. I should think of another solution rather than trouble you...
:;(Does not accept the quest)
;(Talk to Jiayi again)
:Jiayi: *sigh* I was counting down the days before I'd be able to go back. Just two or three days more...
:Jiayi: With all the leave I'd saved up until this point, I could have spent over a week together with Little Liu.
:Jiayi: But with but one order, all our leaves were canceled. Even the people on leave were recalled.
:Jiayi: In my experience, this means at least another month without any hope of returning to Qingce Village. What terrible luck...

;(Talk to Granny Ruoxin)
:Granny Ruoxin: Oh, where has that child run off to...
: Can I ask about Little Liu?
:Granny Ruoxin: Are you looking for her? *sigh* What perfectly terrible timing. I don't know where's she's gone.
:Granny Ruoxin: She received a letter that her father asked someone to send over from Liyue Harbor that stated that he'd be back soon.
:Granny Ruoxin: Little Liu was so happy. She said she wanted to prepare a gift for her father, and roped some other children into picking fruits and flowers...
:Granny Ruoxin: But a few days afterward, he sent word, saying that he had a last-minute assignment and wouldn't be able-to return.
:Granny Ruoxin: She threw a tantrum, and nothing we could say could dissuade her from insisting that she would go to Liyue Harbor herself, since her father wasn't coming.
:Granny Ruoxin: *sigh* We've already sent people out to look for her, but if you're willing, you can join in as well.
: I'll give it a go.
::Granny Ruoxin: I apologize for the trouble. *sigh* This child...
: Where do you think she's headed?
::Granny Ruoxin: I doubt she could go far. She's probably still close by, but the wilds are a dangerous place... Please, find her quickly.
;(Talk to Granny Ruoxin again)
:Granny Ruoxin: That Jiayi, too. How could he just cancel on his daughter like that...
:Granny Ruoxin: She doesn't see him any more than a few times a year. Is this how a father should behave?
: He's doing this for Liyue Harbor...
::Granny Ruoxin: That's what he says every year. I've lost count of the number of times he's said that...
: He's just doing his job...
::Granny Ruoxin: Well, it's also his job to take care of his daughter. Little Liu is growing up day by day.
::Granny Ruoxin: If he's not careful, she'll be the one going out to work by the time he returns.
::Granny Ruoxin: This father and his daughter just can't get together, can they?

;(Investigate the first area)
:Paimon: If Paimon were to guess, Paimon would say that these berries were picked by Little Liu. Quick, we must find her!
;(Investigate the second area)
:Paimon: Ooh, so many footprints... This can't be good. We must hurry and find Little Liu!
;(Upon finding Little Liu)
:Paimon: Look over there, it's Little Liu!
:Paimon: She's surrounded by hilichurls! Quick, you know what to do!
----
;(Talk to Little Liu)
:Little Liu: Are you here to catch me and take me back to Qingce Village?
: Granny Ruoxin is worried sick about you.
::Little Liu: Hmph. So you are here to catch me. Well, I'm not going back.
: I have something for you...
::Little Liu: I don't need anything from you. You're just trying to bribe me.
:Little Liu: Go back and tell the villagers that I'm going to Liyue Harbor to look for Daddy.
:Little Liu: They don't have to worry. Once I find him, I'll just talk to him for a while, then I'll come back.
:;(Little Liu begins to run off)
:Paimon: Hey! Wait up!
:Paimon: Little Liu's run off. We need to catch up with her and make sure she's safe.
;(Talk to Little Liu after defeating the hilichurls)
:Little Liu: What are you following me for, anyway? I said, I'm going to Liyue Harbor!
:Little Liu: I'll get around these monsters myself. They won't find me.
:Little Liu: Don't treat me like a kid! I'm a grown-up now!
: This is from your father...
:Little Liu: From Daddy? Did he ask you to send it over...
:Little Liu: I'm sure it's more things for children to play with... if it's not kites, it's dolls.
: You don't like them?
:Little Liu: ...I do. It's something Daddy gave me. How could I not like it?
:Little Liu: But if I always like these things, doesn't that mean that I'll always be a kid?
:Little Liu: If I keep playing with them, when will I become an adventurer, or get my own Vision?
: What did you want a Vision for, again?
:Little Liu: If I had a Vision, I'd be able to do so many things, whether it be making money or something else...
:Little Liu: Then, Daddy wouldn't have to work in Liyue Harbor all the time. He could come back and spend time with me.
:Little Liu: Right now, I can't even go to Liyue Harbor myself without a Vision...
:Little Liu: But since Daddy has already sent you here with his presents, I might just be giving him more trouble by going to look for him.
:Little Liu: . I wanted to give him a surprise... But I can't take them to him now.
:Little Liu: ... It's alright. I'm going back. There's no need to follow me, I know the way home.
----
;(Talk to Granny Ruoxin after Little Liu returns)
:Granny Ruoxin: You've returned. Thank you for your help. Little Liu has already returned, and with quite the bag of things, too.
: Jiayi sent them to her.
:Granny Ruoxin: Did he, now... But still, what Little Liu really wants is for him to come back in person.
:Granny Ruoxin: That child really has grown up like the bamboo around the village. Blink, and you'll miss just how much she's grown.
:Granny Ruoxin: The days when your child is young will never return again once you miss them...
----
;(Talk to Little Liu before talking to Jiayi)
:Little Liu: Dolls... kites... pinwheels. Daddy sent these again, just like I thought.
:Little Liu: *sigh* It's just a shame that I wasn't able to send him my gifts too.
: I'll take them to your father.
:Little Liu: You'll help me? Well... Even though you don't have a Vision either, it looked like those monsters didn't give you a hard time at all.
:Little Liu: I guess we'll have to do it this way, then. Thank you.
:Little Liu: *sigh* If only I could be as strong as you...
:;(Obtain Little Liu's Gifts)
;(Talk to Little Liu again)
:Little Liu: If only I had a Vision! With it, I could do so many things, whether it's making money or whatever...
:Little Liu: At least, I would have no trouble making it to Liyue on my own.
:Little Liu: But, how do I get my hands on one...
----
;(Talk to Jiayi, without talking to Little Liu)
:Jiayi: Have you handed the presents to Little Liu yet?
: I have.
::Jiayi: That's good. Those toys are her favorite. Thank you — please take these as a token of my thanks.
: She'd prefer it if you were home.
::Jiayi: I want to go back too. But with Liyue Harbor in this state, I don't think that's possible for the time being.
::Jiayi: Still, thank you so much. I hope those presents will improve her mood a bit — they are her favorites, after all.
::Jiayi: Please, take this as thanks.
;(Talk to Jiayi, if you got Little Liu's presents)
:Jiayi: Have you handed the presents to Little Liu yet?
: Well, this is from Little Liu.
:Jiayi: This... is from Little Liu, for me? So many... How much work did she have to put in...
:Jiayi: I want nothing more than to drop everything and run back to Qingce Village right now. But the Ministry of Civil Affairs would...
:Jiayi: Thank you once again. Take these as thanks, please.
:Jiayi: *sigh* I have no idea when this whole affair will be over, or when the Ministry will approve my leave, either...
