===With Wind Comes Glory Order===
;(Talk to Bennett after following him to With Wind Comes Glory)
: Bennett: Marjorie!
: Marjorie: Oh, hello, Bennett! I haven't seen you for a long time. I thought you were off adventuring in some faraway place that I've never heard of.
: Bennett: Hehe, no, no, it's just I got myself into a tight spot out there. Ended up getting held up for quite a while...
: Marjorie: Ahaha... what else is new? So, what are you looking to buy this time?
: Bennett: Oh, I was just checking in to see if the stuff I ordered last time was ready. Thought I'd bring my friend along.
: Marjorie: You mean "Herman's Custom Adventure Map"...
: Bennett: That's right! An adventure map drawn personally by Herman, the great adventurer. It shows loads of recommended places for adventuring, and with his comments, too!
: Marjorie: Well, it did arrive, but unfortunately, the cart tipped over in a puddle on the way here...
: Marjorie: Most of the goods were fine, but since the adventure map was an ink drawing, it's completely ruined...
: Bennett: What... oh, shoot! That's such a shame!
: You really are unlucky, Bennett...
:: Bennett: Aw, I'd been looking forward to that for so long... I was this close to getting my hands on it...
: Poor Marjorie...
:: Marjorie: Yes, I am the one who has to bear the loss, after all...
:: Marjorie: (*sigh* Maybe I should reconsider whether I'm happy to accept orders from Bennett in the future...)
: Bennett: Okay, well, do you have any Alchemist's Goggles?
: Bennett: I've been thinking about replacing the old goggles on my head for a long time. I heard that there's a new type of goggles made specially for alchemists!
: Bennett: When you wear them, you can see all the elements, even the slightest traces of elemental energy!
: That's quite useful.
: I feel like I can do all of that already...
: Marjorie: Oh... I'm afraid these "Alchemist's Goggles" you refer to are just a rumor...
: Marjorie: I talked to that alchemist, Timaeus... He told me there's no such thing.
: Bennett: Ugh, are you kidding me? My hopes dashed, yet again...
: Bennett: Well... how about some Slime Gel Gloves? They exist, right? I saw an adventurer using them once.
: Bennett: No matter what the weather, they can grip onto rock when climbing. I call them... non-slip gloves.
: Marjorie: Those do exist...
: Marjorie: Unfortunately, we sold out of them just yesterday. They are quite a popular product.
: I don't think we are going to get anything here...
: Let's head somewhere else...
: Bennett: Haha... It's okay, no big deal! I'm pretty much used to coming home empty-handed when I go shopping.
: Bennett: Don't let it bother you. Oh — hey, how about I treat you to a meal at Good Hunter?
: Bennett: We've been hanging out for a while now, you must be getting hungry, right? Let's go!
===Good Hunter's Opening Hours===
;(Talk to Bennett after following him to Good Hunter)
: Bennett: Hi, Sara! Table for two, please!
: Sara: Ah... I'm so sorry, I don't think we'll be able to serve you two today.
: Bennett: Huh? How come? It doesn't seem really busy here.
: Sara: Ahh... well... how can I put this, just before you two arrived, we received an order...
: Sara: An entire delegation from Snezhnaya has come to stay at the Goth Grand Hotel, and they asked us to provide a meal service.
: Sara: So, although you might not see many people here, the kitchen is in fact busier than it's ever been.
: Sara: *sigh* They really know how to rope people into doing things for them. If only they hadn't offered to pay so much...
: Looks like we'll have to give up...
:: Bennett: Yeah, who'd have thought we'd have so much trouble just trying to get some food...
: I'll bet it's those pesky Fatui again!
:: Bennett: Oh. I've actually never had any dealings with them...
:: Bennett: But I have heard that they're arrogant and aggressive.
: Bennett: In which case, there probably isn't much we can do about it...
: Bennett: Well... how 'bout we just head to Mondstadt General Goods? We can at least get some basic adventure supplies!
: Bennett: What do you think? You're in, right? Hehe, let's go.
===General Goods' Special Offer===
;(Approach Mondstadt General Goods with Bennett)
: Bennett: Huh, that's strange... the owner, Blanche, isn't here. Hmm... That's really rare.
: Bennett: Let's go over there and see what that sign says.
;(Read the sign)
:Mondstadt General Goods Order Board: Mondstadt General Goods Special Offer — 50% Off All Items!
;(Talk to Bennett)
: Bennett: Wow! Is this for real? A discount!?
: This store's generally not considered tight-fisted, is it?
: Don't most places have a sale every now and then?
: Bennett: I mean, sure, but... not when I'm around!
: Bennett: I've never had such good luck before!
: Bennett: Heh, it must be because I'm with you! Wow, lucky folk really have it different.
: That's a bit of an exaggeration...
: I'm glad I brought you luck.
: Bennett: Hehe, you're so nice.
: Bennett: Then again, any discount's a bit meaningless without Blanche being here.
: Bennett: Shall we wait here for a while?
: Bennett: When Blanche comes back, I'm gonna buy a bunch!
: Bennett: After all, this is a rare opportunity, especially for someone like me...
:
: Bennett: *sigh* Blanche is taking quite a while...
: Bennett: It must be an emergency. I feel like she hardly ever leaves the counter.
: Let's wait a little longer...
: I have a bad feeling about this...
:: Bennett: Really? Don't worry. If we managed to catch a sale, today's gotta be a good day!
: Bennett: Patience is a virtue for adventurers, too! There's no rush...
:
: Bennett: Do you think that... Blanche is in some kind of trouble?
: Bennett: I'm getting a bit worried... The 50% discount is a big deal, but... compared to Blanche's safety, I mean...
: You are overthinking things...
: Yeah, it's been too long...
: Bennett: Hmm... It's probably just all this waiting around making my imagination run wild, I guess...
: Bennett: Ugh... C'mon, snap out of it...
:
: Bennett: ...
: ...
: ... ...
: Bennett: I don't usually say this...
: Bennett: But... do you think it's time we gave up...?
: Bennett: Blanche probably won't be back today, right?
: Bennett: I guess I overestimated my luck, haha...
: It's just a coincidence...
:: Bennett: That's right, I shouldn't let myself get down about it...
: I have to say, I ran out of patience long ago... (−1 Heart)
:: Bennett: I'm sorry, I got so obsessed with the idea of that discount that I didn't stop to consider your feelings...
: Blanche: Oh... are you... waiting for me?
: Bennett: Blanche! We've been waiting for you for ages. You're finally back!
: Bennett: I was getting worried about you... What happened? Did you run into some kind of trouble?
: Blanche: Oh... Nothing like that. I was just sorting some things out at home. Thanks for your concern, though.
: Blanche: But, why are you two waiting anyway? I posted a notice saying that we'd be closed today...
: Bennett: Closed!?
: Bennett: We didn't see a sign like that... And anyway, isn't it 50% off the whole store today? That's the whole reason we waited all this time.
: Blanche: Uh, let me check...
: Blanche: Hmm... that's weird. It looks like someone removed the closed sign. Or... maybe the wind blew it away?
: Blanche: The half price notice you saw was for yesterday... Sorry about that.
: Bennett: Oh...
: Cheer up, Bennett...
:: Bennett: Thanks... I'm fine. I should have seen this coming...
: This is so you, Bennett...
:: Bennett: I'm sorry... I should have seen this coming...
: Bennett: So, so, sorry! I feel like I've done nothing but waste your time all day...
: Bennett: No matter what I do, I really can't shake my bad luck...
: Bennett: *sigh* It's getting a bit late. I don't think you can accomplish anything if you keep on hanging out with me...
: Bennett: So... let's part ways for now, and maybe next time it'll be different...
: Bennett: ...That is, if you still want to hang out with me next time... heh...
