===Levity in Liyue===
: Noelle: I can't believe I have really come all the way to Liyue...
: Noelle: Wow... The architecture here is so unique, and there are so many people around... But somehow, I feel like I'm constantly being watched...
: Well, you do look especially good today.
:;(+1 Heart)
:: Noelle: No~ Please don't make fun of me.
: Well, Knights of Favonius are a rare sight around here.
:;(−1 Heart)
:: Noelle: Oh, I am not a Knight of Favonius yet...
: Noelle: Tsk, you shouldn't make jokes like that in public, people may hear you and get the wrong idea.
: Noelle: Huh, how strange... Back in Mondstadt, I never feel shy around strangers, but over here I feel so tense...
: Noelle: I—It's probably because I'm in a completely different environment. I don't know how I should act to make sure I don't make a fool of myself...
: Noelle: And speaking of... I heard that it's customary to eat with chopsticks in Liyue...
: Noelle: Back in Mondstadt, I have previously provided chopsticks to visitors from Liyue, but I have never used them myself... Ohh, I hope I won't become a laughing stock...
: Some foods here can be eaten without chopsticks. Want to have a look?
: I can teach you how to use chopsticks. Want to try?
: Noelle: Huh? Oh, I... I was just thinking aloud. Don't worry about it.
: Noelle: My time here in Liyue is precious. I should make good use of it to study...
: You never know, the exam may test your ability to work with partners from Liyue.
:;(−1 Heart)
:: Noelle: Wh—What? Could that really come up in the exam? Wait, you're right... maybe it will!
: Understanding the local culture will help you connect with people and learn more.
:;(+1 Heart)
:: Noelle: Hmm, true... If I offended the locals by not knowing their customs, I wouldn't have the chance to learn from them...
: Noelle: Huh, then... okay... Let's start by learning about the local cuisine. , do you have any suggestions?
: You can trust me with this.
: Let's go to Wanmin Restaurant.
: Noelle: Okay! , if it comes recommended by you, I'm excited to find out what kind of food it is...
;(Go to Wanmin Restaurant)
: Chef Mao: If it isn't the Traveler! What would you like to order today? Wanmin Restuarant will cook it just how you like it!
: Chef Mao: Oh, is this a new customer you've brought with you? Based on Madam's attire... it would appear that...
: Chef Mao: ...Even a Knight of Favonius will travel all the way to Liyue just to try Wanmin Restaurant's cooking!
: Noelle: Knight of Favonius? Oh... I—I'm not...
: Chef Mao: Haha, I'm just joking, of course. You must be in Liyue on official business?
: Chef Mao: But anyway, while you're here in Liyue, I can confidently say that you won't regret stopping by Wanmin Restaurant to try our tasty dishes!
: Noelle: That... that's not what I meant...
: Chef Mao: Not what you meant... Oh, I see... I suppose you must be looking for Liuli Pavilion or Xinyue Kiosk?
: Chef Mao: *sigh* Most first-time visitors have only heard of these two places. I just didn't expect the Knights of Favonius to be the same way...
: Chef Mao... that's not what she meant...
: Noelle: Wh—What I meant was... I am not an official Knight of Favonius. I'm just a knight-in-training currently serving as a maid...
: Chef Mao: Goodness... They really distinguish between knights to that degree? Well, anyway, as long as you dine at Wanmin Restaurant, rest assured you will leave here a satisfied customer!
: Chef Mao: Since this is your first time in Liyue, perhaps you are not used to chopsticks yet? If so, might I recommend the Grilled Tiger Fish — fresh, fragrant, and easy to eat...
: Chef Mao: If I tone down the spice a little, it should be perfect for the Mondstadt palate. Want to try it?
: Noelle, what do you think?
: Noelle: Um... I want to learn about the Liyue diet. Adjusting the dish to accommodate what I'm used to seems to defeat the purpose of coming here...
: Chef Mao: Oh? You want to try something with more of a local flavor? Well, in that case, you've got to try our signature dish: Black-Back Perch Stew!
: Chef Mao: The only thing is, you can't really eat it without using chopsticks, and the level of spice is not for everyone.
: Chef Mao: I pour oil into a hot pan, throw in a big handful of Jueyun Chilis, and stir-fry them to release the flavor. Then, I sprinkle in some powdered Violetgrass to enhance the spiciness...
: Noelle: Phew! I can already feel the spiciness just by listening to your description! ...Will I be able to handle it?
: Come on, you can do it!
:;(+1 Heart)
:: Noelle: ...Right! I can't give up so soon!
: Don't force it if you're not going to enjoy it.
:;(−1 Heart)
:: Noelle: But if I give up so soon... how can I learn to overcome future obstacles?
: Noelle: Hmm... It's just a harmless bit of chili pepper... I—I can take it!
: Noelle: Chef Mao, I will go with your recommendation!
: Chef Mao: Haha, great! Please have a seat. One Black-Back Perch Stew, coming right up!
:
: Noelle: *cough* *cough* *cough* So spicy... I can't even hold... my chopsticks steadily... *cough* *cough*
: Are you okay...?
: Noelle: I'm fine... I'm fine... It's certainly very spicy, but once you get over that, it' quite delicious...
: Noelle: What surprised me is how the freshness of the fish still shines through, despite how heavily seasoned the dish is...
: Noelle: Hmm... the next time I entertain guests from Liyue... I wonder if I'll be able to prepare such delicious food for them...
: Your cooking is delicious, too.
:;(+1 Heart)
:: Noelle: R—Really? Then, let me bake some muffins for you when we get back...
: Liyue cuisine is in a league of its own.
:;(−1 Heart)
:: Noelle: So... So this is the kind of food you like? After I get back, I will have to study it properly...
: Chef Mao: Wow, you've already finished? How do you feel? Even locals rarely finish the dish so quickly...
: Noelle: Oh, it was very good! Thank you, Chef Mao.
: Chef Mao: Ah, you're very welcome! Seeing customers satisfied is my greatest pleasure.
: Chef Mao: But... I must say, I really didn't expect you to drink the soup! It's so spicy that most people here in Liyue can't even handle it.
: Noelle: Wha— The soup...? W—We weren't supposed to drink it!?
: Ahem... Time to move on.
: Noelle: Oh, um... Yes. Let's.
: Noelle: *sigh*... Next time I eat in Liyue, I'll be sure to check how each dish is meant to be consumed first...
: Noelle: Oh... That sounds like ironwork going on over there. Is it a blacksmith?
: Noelle: ...From the kind of weapons made here, I should be able to learn something about the local combat style. Will you come with me to the blacksmith, so I can take a look?
: You mean Hanfeng's Ironmongers? Sure, follow me.
: Noelle: Oh, great!
: Noelle: ...It's almost like you're the host and I'm your guest. As a maid... I can't help but feel a little guilty!
===Liyue Local Weaponry===
;(Go to Hanfeng's Ironmongers)
: Noelle: Wow, just from looking at these weapons, I can tell they have great power. This is the nation built by the Geo Archon, after all...
: Noelle: I wonder how Favonius Bladework could be applied to these weapons, and what kind of modifications would be needed...
: Seems like you are getting some inspiration?
: Noelle: Yes... And even though I am just thinking through problems as I always do, I don't feel as nervous as I did when I was in Mondstadt...
: Dugu Shuo: Hey! You over there! What are you doing?
: Noelle: Ah? What's wrong, little boy?
: Dugu Shuo: Wh—Who're you calling "little boy"? I'm a mighty warrior! I see you, with your strange attire, acting all mysterious, loitering around the Ironmongers... Yeah, you're up to no good!
: Noelle: *gasp* I'm not up to anything...
: Dugu Shuo: Hmph! You can't hide it from me! I see the way you look at those weapons... Same way I look at 'em too!
: Dugu Shuo: You must be planning to sneak over and steal a couple of blades when the man's not looking, huh? Well, I'm warning you. Quit while you're ahead! Stop before you do something you'll regret! 'Cause if you get caught, uh... that man is gonna yell at you!
: She's a Knight of Favonius. She wouldn't do such a thing.
:;(−1 Heart)
:: Noelle: Honorary Knight, please... I told you not to call me that...
:: Dugu Shuo: Knight of Favonius? Huh... Then she's no small fry after all...
: She has her own weapon already, she wouldn't need to.
:;(+1 Heart)
:: Noelle: Yes, that's right. In any case, my weapon of choice is the greatsword... And I don't see any of those here.
:: Dugu Shuo: Greatsword, huh... Well, you got one thing right: The man refuses to show anyone his greatsword in the store, no matter how many times you beg him. Trust me, I would know...
: Dugu Shuo: But let's not get ahead of ourselves here, I still don't think I can trust you! Unless... unless you show me your greatsword, and also your Vision!
: Oh, so that's what you're really after.
: Dugu Shuo: Th—That's not true! No greatsword can outshine the mighty Dugu Longsword! And one day... I'm gonna get my Geo Vision! So... I'm not jealous! Who said anything about being jealous? Hmph!
: Noelle: The cat is out of the bag... *sigh* Alright then, if you insist...
: Noelle: Um... Please be careful with them. Don't hurt yourself.
: Dugu Shuo: You... You're really gonna let me have a look? Wow, you're so nice!
:
: Dugu Shuo: Wow... That glow, it really is a Geo Vision... And this sword is so heavy... I can't hold it...
: Dugu Shuo: Ugh... It's not fair. If only I were a bit bigger...
: Noelle: Be patient. You'll get there.
: Noelle: Besides, I'm sure your dream will come true one day.
: Dugu Shuo: Uh... hmph. It's clear to me now. You bear a Geo Vision... You wield a greatsword... You're a nice person from Mondstadt...
: Dugu Shuo: ...You must be a fabled Knight of Favonius!
: Noelle: ...Huh?
: Dugu Shuo: Hmph! I must accept that the Knights of Favonius of Mondstadt live up to their name... But I shall not concede defeat!
: Dugu Shuo: As surely as the hills are green and the rivers flow into the sea... our paths will cross again!
: Noelle: Wait... I...
: Noelle: Ohh, he's gone... I do hope there are no further misunderstandings today.
: Noelle: Children in Liyue have these dreams too. I never would have thought...
: Noelle: When I was little, the other Mondstadt kids and I always used to imagine what kind of Visions we would have when we grew up... I hope that, someday, this boy's dreams will come true, too...
: Noelle: Anyway, what's next? Should we visit Liyue's harbor, or take a short break?
: The harbor. We may learn something from the Millelith.
: Noelle: Yes, there does seem to be a large number of Millelith stationed at the harbor. It would be great if I can learn something from them.
:;(Proceed to While the Millelith Stands Guard)
: Let's head to Third-Round Knockout, then keep exploring.
: Noelle: Yes, if we plan to explore further, let's take a short break first.
