===Dialogue Set #1===
;(Before completing Garcia's Paean: A Gift of Compatibility)
;(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Garcia, optional)
:Garcia: (I need to speed up my research...)
;(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Lutong, optional)
:Lutong: (Why does Mr. Garcia look like he's in a hurry...?)
;(Talk to Garcia or Lutong)
;(If the commission has not been completed before)
::Garcia: Lutong, my dear Lutong, are you sure... this is the place?
::Lutong: Yes, Mr. Garcia, this is where Slimes are most often found.
::Garcia: I am most certain of that. However...
::Garcia: Would you agree that the Slimes are mildly overwhelming in quantity?
::Lutong: Mr. Garcia, this is how we end up when we are caught short financially.
:: You are... Garcia?
:: What brings you here?
::Garcia: Traveler! What a coincidence!
:: What are you doing here?
::Garcia: Haha. Why, I'm here for...
::Lutong: Trouble.
::Garcia: Valiant adventure! Please, Lutong, could you not...
::Lutong: As you wish, sir.
::Garcia: In truth, I'm here to look for Slime Condensate to use as the lubricant for my Numbering Machine.
::Garcia: Unfortunately, most of the Slime Condensate on sale is of low quality as it's kept for too long. Besides...
::Lutong: Mr. Garcia purchased too many books...
::Garcia: Oh come now, those were... necessary expenditures — that left us short of Mora, yes, but still!
::Garcia: That's why we came here, to collect some fresh Slime Condensate ourselves.
::Garcia: But as you can see, though our good Lutong is from Liyue, he knows neither martial arts nor culinary skills.
::Lutong: Fortunately, I have a gift for accounting... all thanks to the complex tax rules of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
::Garcia: ...As for me, I can't possibly hit anyone with the components of my Numbering Machine.
:: Do you need my help?
::Garcia: Well, in a sense...
::Lutong: Yes.
::Garcia: Lutong, do we... um... do we have any Mora left?
::Lutong: Well, I believe we'll find a way to get by after we pay the Traveler.
::Garcia: Splendid. Traveler, I'd appreciate it if you could kindly retrieve some Slime Condensate for me.
;(If the commission has been completed before)
::Lutong: Once again, Mr. Garcia, I sincerely suggest that we sell a few books to raise some Mora.
::Garcia: No! Not for the world! Lutong, my dear, you are asking me to put my soul up for sale!
::Lutong: But sir, no one bids for souls.
:: Why are you still here?
:: Do you need some more Slime Condensate?
::Garcia: Oh, Traveler? What brings you here?
::Garcia: Um... My last experiment failed. There was something wrong with my dilution of the Slime Condensate...
::Garcia: Instead of lubricating the bearings of the Numbering Machine, the lubricant actually made them more likely to get stuck.
::Garcia: As such, I need more Slime Condensate for further experiments. Could you...
:: Leave it to me.
:: Don't you have a way to earn Mora?
:::Garcia: It's not that we don't...
:::Lutong: It's a question of ability.
:::Garcia: Thank you very much for this timely explanation, my dear Lutong.
:::Garcia: Well, it's most certainly a shame... Although I have finished building the Numbering Machine, its functions are incalculably underwhelming.
:::Garcia: It cannot even fully function as an automatic calculator, requiring manual aid to facilitate its operation.
:::Garcia: But... I will enhance it! I firmly believe that my Numbering Machine will be a great invention!
:::Garcia: An... An invention that heralds a new era! And after that, I'm sure I'll find a way to earn Mora...
:::Garcia: H—However, before that...
::Lutong: Traveler, please help us collect the Slime Condensate. I'll have your payment ready.
;(Talk to Garcia or Lutong again)
:Garcia: Lutong, our Mora...
:Lutong: We'll get by, Mr. Garcia.
:Lutong: There is an old saying in Liyue, "When your path is blocked by a mountain, there will be a way through." I think this describes precisely where we are right now.
:Lutong: It means that when a mountain stand in our way, we will always find a way to get over it.
:Garcia: Aha! That's a clever metaphor. Then I suppose our situation is not quite so dire.
:Lutong: Still, Mr. Gracia, do you think the person who originally penned those words found a way across the mountain?
:Garcia: Eh? Come on now, Lutong, don't jinx it...
:
;(After defeating the slimes)
:Paimon: That should be enough. Let's get back to Mr. Garcia now.
:;(Obtain )
;(Talk to Garcia)
:Garcia: Traveler, have you obtained the Slime Condensate?
: Got it right here.
:Garcia: Wonderful! This should suffice. I'll continue my experiments once I return. With this as the lubricant, my Numbering Machine will definitely...
:Garcia: I must attend to my research now. Lutong, please take care of the remaining affairs.
:Lutong: Yes, sir.
:Lutong: Here's your payment, Traveler. Thank you ever so much for your help.
:Lutong: And um... in my humble opinion, we might be in need of your help in the future.
:Lutong: Rest assured. As long as the accounts are in my hands, you will be paid fairly.
:Lutong: *sigh* ...Actually, I came to travel with Mr. Garcia because I didn't want to spend my whole life doing accounts in a department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs like my parents do.
:Lutong: But now... in addition to working with Mr. Garcia on his calculations, I also need to help him sort out his accounts...
:Lutong: I guess this is what they call destiny...
===Dialogue Set #2===
;(After completing Garcia's Paean: A Gift of Compatibility)
;(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Garcia, optional)
:Garcia: (Kaia... No no, what am I thinking...)
;(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Lutong, optional)
:Lutong: (Mr. Garcia's thoughts are written all over his face...)
;(Talk to Garcia or Lutong)
:Lutong: Sir, this might be the place we're looking for. Now we just have to return with some hires...
:Lutong: Sir? Mr. Garcia, are you listening to me?
:Garcia: Yeah? Oh... Of course, I'm listening. Let's go back and hire someone. It won't take long.
: Is... is everything alright?
:Garcia: Traveler, ha... It's all right. I'm fine. Do I look I have a problem?
:Garcia: Now I am 100% committed to the research on the Numbering Machine, and I feel that I am only one step away from success.
:Garcia: If you're willing to help, would you please get some Slime Condensate for me?
:Garcia: Since you are here, I don't have to go back to the city to hire people. Now that I have made a little money now, I can offer you a better payment.
: Sure.
: That sounds good to be...
:Garcia: I will leave this part to you, traveler. As for me, I have to think about how to change the structure of the mechanism...
;(Talk to Lutong, optional)
:Lutong: Traveler, thanks for coming.
: About Garcia...
: He is still...
:Lutong: You're right, it's Ms. Kaia. Though Mr. Garcia doesn't talk about it, he gets distracted more and more often at work.
:Lutong: And he never went to that café again. Now he just asks me to buy it for him.
:Lutong: Even Mr. Ahangar came to tell me that he could talk to Mr. Garcia if it's necessary.
:Lutong: I don't know how to straighten Mr. Garcia out, as I have no experience dealing with this kind of situation.
:Lutong: *sigh* Looks like there is another hurdle in front of me and Mr. Garcia...
;(After defeating the slimes)
:Paimon: That should be enough. Let's get back to Mr. Garcia now.
:;(Obtain )
;(Talk to Garcia)
:Garcia: Traveler, have you obtained the Slime Condensate?
: Got it right here.
:Garcia: Well, that's enough. Lutong, can you pay the Traveler first?
:Garcia: I need to check the quality of these Slime Condensate first...
:Lutong: Here's your payment, Traveler. Thank you for your help.
:Lutong: You are welcomed to swing by anytime.
:Lutong: If Mr. Garcia's mental state is too... unwell, maybe I'll need your help.
