;(Get quest from Events Overview)
:Paimon: Paimon thinks we should go to Stormterror's Lair!
;(Approach the marked area)
:"Kichiboushi": This city is very big, but... feels grim.
:Paimon: We came here before with a lot of companions, and we fought a battle against Stormterror.
:"Kichiboushi": Is Stormterror a large, sharp-tooth, scary dragon with flip-flap wings?
: Well, he wasn't that scary.
: He was quite lovely, actually.
:Paimon: Do you still remember that Anemo Archon statue we saw in Mondstadt?
:"Kichiboushi": Anemo Archon Statue...?
:Paimon: That big, tall stone statue.
:"Kichiboushi": Mm! Yes! Anemo Archon had big hands!
:Paimon: Stormterror is the archon's good friend! Long ago, the Anemo Archon was from this city, too...
:"Kichiboushi": Ooh!
:"Kichiboushi": But if Storm-Storm is so big, how does he get in here?
: You know, this question feels familiar...
: It's "Stormterror."
:Paimon: Paimon knows this one! That's because he doesn't walk in...
:"Kichiboushi": Ooh, Kichiboushi knows. Storm-Storm can fly. Does not need walking.
:Paimon: A—Argh! How...
:"Kichiboushi": Mm? Paimon, you seem a little unhappiness.
:Paimon: Eh... We can talk about that later. First off, let's take a photo! Alright, stand still now!
:"Kichiboushi": Kichiboushi stand straight!
;(After taking the photo)
:"Kichiboushi": Mm... Very nice...
:Paimon: What's wrong, Kichiboushi?
:"Kichiboushi": This is a grim city. Very sad, don't know why. Strange.
: I feel the same way.
: That's rather odd, Kichiboushi.
:Paimon: Next up, let's head into the center of this "city"...
;(Approach the front gate of Stormterror's Lair)
:"Kichiboushi": Mmmph! The wind... strong...
:Paimon: We can't pass through these storm-walls. We've got to go around!
:Paimon: Easy now, Kichiboushi, just follow us around.
:Paimon: A long, long time ago, this city had a king. This king used the winds to create walls, not allowing anyone to enter or leave, just like the storm-walls we saw earlier.
:"Kichiboushi": But if they couldn't enter or leave, wouldn't they be sad? Like being sealed in stone.
:Paimon: Finally, the cityfolk left the walls of wind, just like how you escaped your seal, Kichiboushi.
:"Kichiboushi": Yey! Great! What happening next?
:Paimon: Hey, hey, careful! The roads aren't very good here.
;(Approach the marked spot)
:Paimon: A long, long time later, the Anemo Archon and his friend Stormterror fought a big battle against an evil dragon to protect Mondstadt!
:"Kichiboushi": Mm? Bad dragon! Did the Anemo Archon use big hands to fight?
:Paimon: Well... You could say so! Ugh, this is really hard to explain...
:"Kichiboushi": Later? Did the Anemo Archon and Storm-Storm win?
:Paimon: Yup, they did! But although Stormterror won, he was injured. And that's why he came here to rest and heal.
:"Kichiboushi": Yey! Storm-Storm protects Mondstadt like Mon-Mon protects Liyue. So, Storm-Storm is like Mondstadt's adeptus!
:Paimon: Whoa, too fast, too fast! Also, it's "Stormterror"!
:Paimon: So Stormterror came to this tower to sleep. He slept for a long, long time, and when he woke up, no one remembered him anymore. His friend, the Anemo Archon, was also gone.
:"Kichiboushi": *whimper* Poor Storm-Storm.
;(Approach the marked spot near the Statue of The Seven)
:"Kichiboushi": But Paimon and fought Storm-Storm. So, is he a bad dragon too?
:Paimon: No he isn't! But let's head upward first. Watch your footing!
;(Approach the marked spot in the tower)
:Paimon: We'll be there soon.
;(Approach the marked spot on the next floor)
:Paimon: We're finally here!
:Paimon: The view's much better up here. Look over there — that's the spot where we came from!
:"Kichiboushi": Paimon likes high spots, mm?
: You can see everything from these vantage points, and they are good for gliding, too.
: You know what they say about "idiots and smoke..."
::Paimon: That's not what this is about! You can see everything from up here, and the air is great, too.
:"Kichiboushi": Does Storm-Storm sleep here?
:Paimon: Yup — for a really long time, too.
:Paimon: Even though fought Stormterror, he's not a bad dragon.
:Paimon: He just experienced something terrible, got hurt, and was tricked by bad people, so he thought that his friend, the Anemo Archon, no longer needed him.
:"Kichiboushi": Mm... Then what happened?
:Paimon: After that, huh? Do you remember, ?
: I purified his poisoned blood during our battle.
:Paimon: But the platform we were battling on collapsed. At first, it looked like we and the Anemo Archon were going to fall into a deep, dark place...
:"Kichiboushi": Eek! That's horrible... What did you do? Did you fly away?
: Dvalin saved us, and he bore us away.
::"Kichiboushi": Dva...?
::Paimon: That's Stormterror's name.
: Stormterror saved us and bore us away from the battle.
:Paimon: Stormterror actually had a name of his own, just like Kichiboushi, Paimon, and — and his name is Dvalin.
:Paimon: At first, Dvalin was injured and tricked by some bad people, so he was very angry. That's why he attacked Mondstadt, and because everyone thought he was a bad dragon, they called him "Stormterror."
:Paimon: Later, we beat those bad people and helped the Anemo Archon purify the blood that was tainting him. That was when he realized that the archon hadn't abandoned him.
:"Kichiboushi": Ooh! So Storm-Storm became good again!
:Paimon: Exactly! And that's why Paimon brought you here for training today — it was to tell you the story of Dvalin.
:Paimon: When you grow older, you will also be misunderstood, get hurt, and experience sad things.
:Paimon: But you mustn't become a bad person. Because "winds change their course"...
: And someday, they will blow towards a brighter future...
:"Kichiboushi": Mm?
: Was that a bit tough to understand, Kichiboushi?
:"Kichiboushi": Understand, but also not really...
:"Kichiboushi": But Kichiboushi knows that it is something important. Will not forgetting what Paimon and say.
:Paimon: Hehe! Then at least our long storytelling session didn't go to waste!
:Paimon: But whatever the case, make sure you don't become too playful or cheeky — that might get you sealed sometime in the future!
: Looks like this round of your training has drawn to a close.
: Seems like we've completed Ioroi's commission.
:"Kichiboushi": Mmmm...
:Paimon: There's no need to be so sad! Smile as we go back, or you'll make Ioroi sad, too!
:Paimon: Alright then. Guess we've gotta do our jobs as guides one last time, eh?
:Paimon: Now then — time to bring Kichiboushi back to Ioroi!
: Let's move out.
: Let's go, Kichiboushi.
:"Kichiboushi": Mm.
----
;(Talk to Ioroi)
:Paimon: We're back, Ioroi!
:Ioroi: Ooh, you've finally returned! How has Kichiboushi's training gone?
:"Kichiboushi": Squelch squelch, kapow!
:Ioroi: Mmhahaha! Good, good!
:Paimon: Oh brother, we can't understand Kichiboushi anymore...
:Paimon: We even took a lot of photos. Have a look, Ioroi...
:
:Paimon: ...And that's how we completed your request to "take Kichiboushi to eight places to train," Ioroi.
:Ioroi: Mm! Good, very good, as might be expected of humans I had mine eye on. If you were also tanuki, you would be great and renowned indeed. Perhaps half as great as I when put together!
:Paimon: (That's not super impressive...)
:Paimon: But since we've completed the task, we should probably leave now.
:"Kichiboushi": Mmmph...
:Paimon: Oh, don't be like that. Come on, Kichiboushi, Paimon's gonna teach you one more thing!
:Paimon: When you say goodbye to friends, you should see them off with a smile! That way, you'll be even happier when you meet again.
:Ioroi: ...Mm? Alright. Sure. Leave it to me.
:Ioroi: Kichiboushi says, "Got it, White Fur."
:Paimon: Eh? Does this mean...
: Kichiboushi's lost his ability to speak?
: We've lost the ability to understand Kichiboushi's speech?
:Ioroi: It has been some time. The effects of the tanuki meal must have worn off.
:Ioroi: Hmph! If I were free from this stone seal, it would be a thing of ease to have you understand tanuki speech all the time...
:Ioroi: ...Hmm? Of course, I will pass it on.
:Ioroi: "Kichiboushi train hard."
:Ioroi: "Become strong bake-danuki, like Ioroi!"
:Ioroi: Mm? Hahaha! That's quite the boast, you little rascal. Reminds me of myself when I was your age!
:Ioroi: "Then White Fur and Yellow Fur no eat bake-danuki food, understand Kichiboushi."
:Paimon: We'll be waiting, Kichiboushi! We'll come train with you next time, too.
: Good luck, Kichiboushi.
:: Don't get sealed by humans, now.
:Ioroi: Mm!?
:"Kichiboushi": Mm!
:Ioroi: Eh, forget it. I shall not pursue the matter, considering that you did take Kichiboushi out to train.
:Ioroi: *sigh* If only you, too, were tanuki...
: Wouldn't we have been turned into stone already, then?
:Ioroi: Mmph, true. Well then, off you go now. I have a little magic to teach Kichiboushi.
