==Dialogue==
:Guinaifen: There is a post that's on my mind. Can you help me parse it out?
:Sushang: ...Nothing's worth worrying so much about. Let me take a look.

:Guinaifen: Hey fam, even though my intuitions tell me this is fake, I'm still a little worried about it. Wanna go check it out?
:Huohuo: Yeah, let's go. I wanna know, too.
: Let's go!
:Guinaifen: Thanks loads, fam.
===Head to Cloudford and investigate===
;(Approach marked location)
:Guinaifen: This is the right place, based on the location mentioned in the post.
: Looks pretty normal around here.
::Sushang: Where's this "creaky old empty warehouse" then? There's not a soul around.
: You guys find anything yet?
::Huohuo: Nothing special around here. It all seems pretty normal. It's just that everywhere around here just seems kinda... empty?
----
:Guinaifen: The address is correct, and it's packed full of similar "warehouses" as mentioned in the post, so we've got the right place.
:Guinaifen: But there're always problems with what's true and what's fake online. Maybe they're trying to scam us. Maybe a gust blew open the warehouse door, making it creaked as though haunted — and they DON'T actually want to scam us. Who knows?
:Guinaifen: In any case, it's well worth considering that this could even be a waste of a trip. We shouldn't lose heart, because it's still early — and there's still time to go back and take a rest.
----
:Sushang: Umm...
:Sushang: Little Gui, that's reasonable enough, but... I've only just noticed, there's a girl just over there who keeps looking this way...
:Huohuo: That girl... I've noticed her too, but it doesn't feel like a heliobus inside. She should just be a normal person.
:Guinaifen: Just go and ask, you'll soon find out. The Cloudford is usually pretty quiet on weekdays, and we're out here ransacking the place. It's natural to attract a little attention.
===Speak with the suspicious person===
;(Approach marked location)
:Curious Passerby: Um, what do you want?
: Were you just staring at us?
:Curious Passerby: One of you girls looks like someone I know... You, you there. Are you that famous vlogger who went viral recently? Little Gui, right?
:Guinaifen: I am indeed. The name's Guinaifen and if you're keen, then don't forget to visit our page, Like — and subscribe!
:Sushang: Little Gui, that's not what she meant.
:Guinaifen: Ahem, sorry. Call me a workaholic or something. We're just strolling around here. How about you?
:Curious Passerby: Oh, I—I... I just... I'm just hanging around here... I've got notification about a courier delivery and the pick-up spot is nearby.
:Guinaifen: Is that right? In that case, we won't bother you any further.
:Sushang: There's nobody else around besides us. Please take care with your personal safety when you're out on your own.
:Everything seemed normal enough, so the squad decided to stay and watch a while longer.
----
:Guinaifen: There's another new post. And the username... and the style...
:Guinaifen: This post seems really similar to the previous warehouse one. Come have a look!
:Sushang: ...I missed it last time. Do I still have to look?
;(Opens A Foxian Tale of the Haunted: Ghostly Grove)
:Guinaifen: My internal radar is tingling and giving me a special feeling.
:Sushang: Well, we trust your instincts. Let's go.
: Let's go!
:Huohuo: Let's go.
===Head to Aurum Alley and investigate===
;(Talk to Guinaifen)
:Guinaifen: ...This is different from that post...
: Sushang and Huohuo are still on their way?
::Guinaifen: I sent them ahead to go find some other people and ask around about it.
: I don't think I've seen any billboards around.
::Guinaifen: That's normal.
:Guinaifen: In all my time of hanging around the Aurum Alley, I've never seen any "pawnshop" here.
:Guinaifen: No wonder why I've been walking around all day but still haven't found anything weird. That so-called "scandal" from the post has got to be made up.
: Bad luck. I missed out this time, too...
::Guinaifen: No, it's not "bad luck". In my estimation, this is someone causing trouble behind the scenes.
: They must be bored. You know what? You should write novels.
::Guinaifen: It's just tilting at windmills, nothing more.
:Guinaifen: We missed out last time at Cloudford, and this time we were hustled again at the Aurum Alley.
:Guinaifen: I find this really weird. The user who posted up last time was GuiguiSpicySourJuice, and this post is by SweetBoba_4_SweetGui.
: I guess they like juice?
::Guinaifen: Hardly any fans call me that, plus... the usernames are all weird juicy names.
: Do you think it's the same person?
----
:Guinaifen: I suspect they're from the same person. We've confirmed now that both posts are totally fake news. That means: this person is deliberately spreading disinformation.
:Guinaifen: As for their goal? Hmm... I don't know who they are, so the motives for doing this are all going to be strange. But I'm thinking, the kind of person who'd do this has to be one of my haters...
----
: You listen carefully to Guinaifen's analysis when you feel sight lines locking on to you from not too far away. Instantly, you realize something is wrong.
: Little Gui, someone's watching us.
:Guinaifen: Huh? That sus. Don't show our hand. You lead the way. Let's just rush over and ask what's going on.
===Speak with the suspicious person===
;(Approach marked location)
:Guinaifen: ...Hang on. You seem really familiar. Have we met?
: The girl in the Cloudford last time — it's her!
:Guinaifen: Why are you stalking us? Go on, tell us — otherwise I'll have to report you to the Realm-Keeping Commission.
:Manman: Guigui, please don't be mad. I'm Manman and I'm sorry for scaring you just now. I didn't mean to hurt you or to do anything bad to you. I just...
:Guinaifen: Guigui?! I knew it. You're the one who made those posts! What are you doing making posts like that?
:Manman: I... actually I... am one of your fans. I saw you were soliciting contributions and that you were making real life trips around, so I wondered if I might get a chance to try and meet you.
:Manman: And so I tried, but... I have to say, you're so cute in-person even when you're angry~ Your face is much smaller than on the screen. Just too cute.
:Manman: I just wanted to see you with my own eyes and really didn't mean anything else by it... During the hundred thousand fans event, I even submitted a question about whether you'd be doing any fan meet-and-greets — but sadly my question never got picked.
:Guinaifen: I've no words. This is the first time I've ever met a "fan" like this. Back in my hometown, even little kids know there's a proper set of rules to follow when conducting oneself — hang on, based on the Xianzhou standards... are you a minor?
:Manman: Oh, yeah... I'm still in school. But in terms of age, I'm far older than you are.
: Minors shouldn't be following streamers!
::Guinaifen: Right? You're not yet an adult. Why are you watching streams when you should be studying?
: Looks like I'll have to pay your teacher a visit...
::Guinaifen: Mmm-hmm, good idea (Trailblazer).
:Guinaifen: Ahem, minors watching my stream is what scares me the most. Every few days, I'll get their parents requesting a refund and I'll get stung with the processing fee, meaning all my hard work streaming amount to nothing.
:Manman: My family, they've never cared about me spending money... They won't ask for any refund. You can count on that.
:Guinaifen: Ahem, i-is it all about a refund?
:Guinaifen: Do you know how much effort we put into proving whether these supernatural stories of yours were true or not?
: We were so busy that we couldn't even accept any ads!
: Yeah, our squad trip was all messed up by you!
:Manman: I didn't expect to put you out like this... I—I just wanted to see you, that's all. I shouldn't have tricked you. All I can do is use this money of mine to make up for all your wasted efforts. I'm really sorry...
:Guinaifen: I told you, this isn't about money! Also — as a minor, where DOES that income of yours even come from...?
:Guinaifen: You don't really take me as such a ditzy idiot, do you? Puh-lease, that's just a persona I put on for the stream. The real Little Gui is nowhere near that kindhearted in real life!
:Guinaifen: Alright, if there's nothing else, you can get outta here. And you'd better, otherwise I'll have to call someone. At your age, you should be studying hard instead of messing around!
:Manman: ...*sniff* *sob*
:Manman wipes her face before vanishing like a puff of smoke.
===Speak to Guinaifen===
;(Talk to Guinaifen)
: Is it really wise to be so tough to your fans?
: Do you really want to provoke your fanbase?
:Guinaifen: If I just placate her, I'm afraid she won't understand that "Little Gui" is actually just a job for me. She'll think that I'm actually this amazing ghost-hunter and donate all of her parents' hard-earned money to me without a care.
:Guinaifen: Thank you, (Trailblazer). We're lucky to have you helping out the whole way, otherwise...
:Guinaifen: Today's incident is a warning, anyway. It reminds me to knock down my fan as a peg, otherwise... I'm going to have to keep a distance from my fans in the future.

:: Some Words for Fans New and Old
===Head to Fyxestroll Garden===
:Guinaifen: Alright, another waste of trip today. Let's call it a day already and get some rest!
;(Approach marked location)
:Guinaifen: What's this... Huh? Is this... a gift from a fan?
:Guinaifen: Let's rip it open and see what's inside... Ahh... it's from her!
:Guinaifen: (Trailblazer)! Do you remember that girl who tricked us into coming out last time? That fan of mine who was still a minor?
: Yeah, I remember. The one who made up those stories to trick you — what about her?
::Guinaifen: Yup yup yup.
: ...No impression whatsoever.
::Guinaifen: You've already forgotten so soon!?
:Guinaifen: I put out this special announcement before to act as a warning — both overt and covert — to her.
:Guinaifen: And what happens? Today I got a package delivery from a cycrane... She wasn't mad at all. She even got me a small gift.
: I never expected things to wrap up so nice and neat...
: If it were me, I'd turn into a hater.
:Guinaifen: There's nothing valuable inside, just some snacks and this letter. In it, she said that I seemed to really care about my work when we met last time, and that I was pretty intense.
:Guinaifen: She thought that when I was like this, it didn't ruin my reputation but actually made me seem even cooler — that I looked more "professional".
:Guinaifen: I really don't understand her... Anyway, she mailed over some snacks. Grab some, why dontcha.
:Guinaifen: I've been thinking, I really should send her something back. I'm gonna do that. See you later.
===Speak with the cycrane and sign the package===
;(Talk to the Courier Cycrane)
:Courier Cycrane: Ms. LilGuiGuinevere, could you please sign for this?
: Thank you.
: ...Actually, I'm not Little Gui.
::Courier Cycrane: The recipient asked for you to sign it on behalf of her.
:Courier Cycrane: There you go. Thank you for using Heron Express services. Heron Express — We Ship Whatever You Want.
:(Trailblazer): (Looks like this is mine.)
