==Dialogue==
;(Talk to Hongyu)
:Hongyu: How did I end up doing this...
: What's wrong?
:Hongyu: Xiao Lanterns don't just vanish into thin air after each Lantern Rite, you know? They have to be recovered manually.
:Hongyu: Sure, they are quite a view, floating majestically in the air, but at the same time, they can also be quite a nuisance.
:Hongyu: If its lampshade is poorly made, a lantern will break mid-air, leaving only a chunk of Plaustrite that flies all over the place.
:Hongyu: Some Xiao Lanterns also get blown away by the wind and end up stuck in random nooks...
:Hongyu: The former creates safety concerns, while the latter litters the city landscape. So the Ministry of Civil Affairs usually delegates the responsibility of recovering Xiao Lanterns to a specific person.
:Hongyu: As it happens, it's my turn this year...
:Hongyu: But the amount of Xiao Lanterns released during the festival is overwhelming... If I were to retrieve them all the day after the celebrations end, I'd be done for.
:Hongyu: So the only feasible way is to remove the broken and misplaced lanterns gradually, as people release them.
:Hongyu: Even so, I doubt I can collect them all on my own.
:Hongyu: Traveler, would you mind checking a few spots for Xiao Lanterns that need to be recovered?
: Leave it to me.
:Hongyu: I've marked the locations on the map for you. Thanks for your help!
;(Talk to Hongyu again)
:Hongyu: They release them, I take them back, and so on and so forth. Am I the only one who sees no point in this?
----
;(Upon reaching the first location)
:Paimon: Paimon sees the Xiao Lantern — but how did it get all the way up there in that tree?
:Paimon: It's just like Hongyu said. People's Xiao Lanterns end up in some weird places.
----
;(Upon reaching the second location)
:Paimon: What's going on? Are the hilichurls interested in that lantern, too? Let's chase them off, quick!
----
;(Upon reaching the third location)
:Paimon: Hey, over there! Looks like someone's been surrounded by hilichurls. Let's help them out!
;(Idle quote)
:Flash-Fist Ling: Master... I'm sorry...
----
;(Talk to Flash-Fist Ling after defeating the hilichurls)
:Flash-Fist Ling: That's not fair!
: What are you doing here?
:Flash-Fist Ling: I... Ugh, let me start from the beginning. My master recently developed a new kicking technique. An immensely powerful one at that!
:Flash-Fist Ling: But he claimed that I wasn't earnest enough, and that I still needed to work on the basics. He wouldn't teach me the new technique...
:Flash-Fist Ling: I planned to take advantage of the Lantern Rite and give him a nice Xiao Lantern to soften his attitude. Perhaps a change of mood would lead to a change of heart, and he'd agree to teach me those moves, or so I thought.
:Flash-Fist Ling: But I couldn't find any Plaustrite, so when I noticed that a Xiao Lantern got stuck over there, I wanted to retrieve the Plaustrite inside...
:Flash-Fist Ling: You saw what happened next... Eh, I don't deserve that Xiao Lantern. You can have it.
:Flash-Fist Ling: Encountering those monsters really made me realize that my martial arts foundations leave a lot to be desired...
;(Talk to Flash-Fist Ling again after retrieving the lantern)
:Flash-Fist Ling: It's all because I'm too weak. I have a long way to go to fully grasp my master's teachings.
----
;(Report back to Hongyu)
:Hongyu: Have you checked all the spots I marked for you yet? Any Xiao Lanterns recovered?
: Three Xiao Lanterns altogether.
:Hongyu: Thanks so much. It would have been a lot of work to retrieve the Xiao Lanterns in those places. The trip tires me right out each time...
:Hongyu: With your help, I can finally rest easy. So please, take this for your trouble. You've more than earned it.
