==Dialogue==
;(Talk to Patton about recent conversation topics)
: Patton: *sigh* Shame I only get to listen in from the other side of the window and don't get to join in the debate. I'd love to give my two cents...
: Paimon: Say what? What's up, what's up? Paimon wants in!
: Patton: Recently, all the customers at the tavern have been debating the exact same topic: "Who is the strongest fighter in Mondstadt?"
: Paimon: The strongest fighter?
: Paimon: Must be someone who can floor a whole gang of hilichurls with just one punch!
: There must be far more to it than that.
:: Paimon: Wow... then it really must be tough to become the strongest of all.
: Pff! I do that for fun.
:: Paimon: Then Paimon nominates you!
: Paimon: But anyway... Is there, like, a general agreement in the city on who it is, or...?
: Patton: Hah. Expecting people to come to a swift and straightforward consensus in the City of Freedom is like expecting Fisherman's Toast to drop out of the sky.
: Patton: Everyone's got their own opinion, backed up by a unique set of cherry-picked information... But let's be honest, that's what makes the discussion so impassioned and entertaining.
: Patton: Mainstream opinion is polarized, with most people supporting one of two candidates.
: Patton: One is the Dandelion Knight, the other is the Darknight Hero.
: Paimon, who are you voting for?
: Anyone vote for me?
: Paimon: Paimon votes for you!
: Paimon: But let's go into the and talk to the patrons. Maybe we'll pick up some juicy gossip.
: Patton: Oh, I do envy your life of leisure...
: Patton: But don't mind me, of course. *sigh* I guess I'll just... get back to work.

;(Talk to Jack)
: Jack: Hey, I'm doing some adventurer's training... alcohol tolerance training, to be precise... Wanna join me?
: Who's the strongest fighter in Mondstadt?
: Jack: You want to know who I think the toughest fighter is?
: Jack: In my opinion, that would be the finest adventurer of them all — Stanley.
: Jack: Guild Master Cyrus is up there with the toughest, too, but only Stanley can take on the bloodthirsty beasts of the Mare Jivari!
: Paimon: Bloodthirsty beasts of the Mare Jivari? Sounds terrifying!
: Paimon: D'you reckon you'd be scared if you were faced with one of those?
: I'd beat it to a pulp.
:: Paimon: Yeah! Bam, wham, pow!
: I'd run for my life.
:: Paimon: Sensible choice. Safety first and all that.
;(Talk to Bruce)
: Bruce: Hi! Are you here to try Mondstadt's famous wine too?
: Who's the strongest fighter in Mondstadt?
: Bruce: Er... *hic* The strongest fighter of them all?
: Bruce: That would be Jean, obviously! *hic*
: Bruce: Why? Grand Master Jean is so strong... she can take out a Ruin Guard with just a few slashes of her sword. *hic*
: Bruce: And she could wipe out the three hilichurl tribes at Dadaupa Gorge all by her... *hic* self.
: Bruce: Otherwise, we wouldn't have such a carefree existence... with nothing to do...
: Paimon: It's true that Jean makes people feel they're in safe hands.
: Paimon: Meanwhile, this guy is drunk as a skunk!
;(Talk to Charles)
: Charles: What'll it be today?
: Who's the strongest fighter in Mondstadt?
: Charles: The strongest fighter? I don't pay much attention to that sort of thing...
: Paimon: Huh. Paimon thought bartenders had some kind of special information sources.
: Just like they have an exclusive supplier of wine?
: Paimon: Exactly! That's what Paimon was getting at.
: Charles: I have no involvement in any intelligence-gathering operation.
: Charles: But if you made me pick someone, it would be the Darknight Hero.
: Charles: I've heard some stories about him. Apparently, he once rescued a city dweller from the Abyss Order.
: Paimon: There it is — the barman's top-secret intelligence!
: Paimon: Speaking of the Abyss Order, their minions are really stirring up trouble all over the place, aren't they?
;(Talk to Six-Fingered José)
: Six-Fingered José: Hey, !
: Six-Fingered José: Do you want to hear my latest composition? I put my whole heart into it, and also my soul. How about it, ?
: Who's the strongest fighter in Mondstadt?
: Six-Fingered José: Eh? The most macho in Mondstadt?
: Six-Fingered José: ...She's a little girlie who wears red.
: A girl dressed in red?
: Six-Fingered José: That's right! I found this out one day about half a month ago, when I went to the Stormbearer Mountains looking for inspiration for my new song.
: Six-Fingered José: Guess what happened?
: Paimon: What happened?
: Six-Fingered José: I witnessed the most powerful destructive force I have ever seen in my life!
: Six-Fingered José: I'm telling you, it completely changed the whole landscape in that part of the mountains!
: Paimon: Holey moly!
: Six-Fingered José: I was hiding behind a bush and I saw this little girlie in red clothing running into the distance, leaving a trail of destruction in her wake.
: Six-Fingered José: *sigh* But I don't know if anyone will believe me.
: Paimon: Hmm... Now that you mention it, the idea of a tiny little girl wielding that much destructive power is a little far-fetched...
: Six-Fingered José: You want to know what I think? I think she has a treasure nobody else knows about.
: Six-Fingered José: Maybe even the most powerful treasure in all of Mondstadt!
: Paimon: Did you say treasure!?
: Paimon: , did Paimon imagine that or did you hear it too?
: Six-Fingered José: It's... just a guess. I mean... No, it's a bard's razor-sharp intuition!
: I don't buy it.
:: Six-Fingered José: How can you say such a thing...
: I'll take you at your word, for now.
:: Six-Fingered José: Thank you, ! Ah, I am so happy to meet a true . Who would have thought—
: Paimon: So, this girl. What's her name?
: Six-Fingered José: Ah... I do not know her name. I do not see her often in Mondstadt.
: Six-Fingered José: Hey, I am telling the truth! You gotta believe me!
: Paimon: Hmmm... Doesn't sound like much to go on...
: Paimon: But thanks for your intel!
----
;(Discuss your findings with Paimon)
: Paimon: Patton was right about one thing.
: Everyone has an opinion.
: Not just that, but some people's choice of candidate was just plain weird.
: Paimon: If everyone's got their own opinion and can't be persuaded...
: Paimon: ...How are we ever gonna find out who Mondstadt's strongest fighter is?
: Paimon: ...Eureka! Paimon's got it!
: Paimon: Let's go see what says.
: Paimon: Bet the Knights have got an official ranking table for this kind of thing!
: What makes you so sure?
:: Paimon: Come on, let's just go and ask already. We'll never find out if we don't!
: Ooh! Do you think I'll be on there?
:: Paimon: Guess it depends if they counted all your shenanigans or not.
: Paimon: Don't worry though, Paimon has full confidence in your abilities!
----
;(Ask Jean about the strongest fighter in Mondstadt)
: Paimon: Oh, Master Jean! Sorry to bother you, we're collecting intel on the strongest fighter in Mondstadt.
: Paimon: Do you have... uh, one of those... official Knights of ranking table... thingies?
: Jean: Strongest fighter in Mondstadt?
: Jean: I am sorry, but I cannot help. I do not have any relevant documentation on that topic...
: Paimon: Oh... Well, that sucks.
: Paimon: Paimon was hoping would at least make the top five.
: Jean: Hehe. Well, although I do not have the data to make such an assessment, I will say that my faith in our Honorary Knight's abilities has never wavered.
: Jean: Which reminds me...
: Jean: Recently, one of the Abyss Order's Mages has been active near the city, although he is keeping a low profile.
: Jean: If you are staying around Mondstadt, please be on the lookout for danger.
: Jean: Given your... well, high-ranking fighting strength, I trust you will be able to help keep the area safe.
: Paimon: Awesome! After defeats the Abyss Order, 'll climb up that ranking table faster than climbs up all those cliffs!
: Paimon. There is no ranking table.
: D'you think I'll get to first place?
: Paimon: Well, either way, smashing the Abyss Order to bits is the right thing to do.
: Jean: Hehe. I like your enthusiasm. It is infectious.
: Jean: But be careful out there.
;(Talk to Jean)
: Jean: We must investigate further to find out why the Abyss Order has been so active lately.
: Jean: , please be on your guard.

:;(A cutscene plays)
:: Paimon: Are you alright?
:;(Cutscene ends)
;(Ask about the girl)
: ???: I—I'm fine! I'm not hurt! Sorry for bumping into you.
: You dropped something.
: Paimon: Hey, look, there's some writing on here...
: Paimon: "Explosion inside city wall, grounded be thy woe," "Explosions can hurt people, Jean can be dreadful," "Mondstadt be bombed, Klee be doomed..."
: ???: Yikes...
: ???: Mr. Kaeya wrote these down for me, um... they're, um... survival rules.
: Paimon: Survival rules?
: ???: Y—Yeah... Rules that I must absolutely never break under any circumstances.
: ???: Otherwise, something terrible would happen.
: Kaeya writes like this?
: Something terrible?
: ???: Yep!
: ???: Ah, I forgot to introduce myself!
: Klee: My name is Klee.
: Hello, Klee.
: My name is .
:: Paimon: And Paimon's name is... well, Paimon.
: Klee: I've heard all about you guys! You're the Honorary Knight who helps Mondstadt!
: Paimon: Wow!
: Paimon: More recognition, yay! Paimon is so happy right now.
: Klee: I heard it from Amber... But wait, no— there's no time for this right now.
: Klee: I'm dealing with a big emergency. I grabbed my map and ran as fast as I could all the way here.
: What's wrong?
: Klee: Th—The treasure I buried in the , it's... gone.
: Paimon: Did you say... buried treasure!?
: I think she needs our help.
:: Paimon: Exactly what Paimon was thinking!
: A girl dressed in red, hmm...
:: Paimon: And she has treasure!
:: Paimon: (Seriously? Klee gets Six-Fingered José's vote for strongest fighter in Mondstadt? What is wrong with people...)
: Paimon: Lost treasure is a big deal. Let us help you find it!
: Klee: Yay! Thanks, you guys!
: Klee: Here! Here's where the map says the treasure should be. I put a circle round it.
: Klee: I also put a wooden sign in the ground at the place where I buried it. To make it easier to find!
: Paimon: (...Paimon is starting to understand how this treasure went missing so easily.)
: Klee: Come on Honorary Knight, let's go!

==Trivia==
* After Paimon says "Must be someone who can floor a whole gang of hilichurls with just one punch!", the player can answer "Pff! I do that for fun". This is a reference to , where the main character, Saitama, has enough strength to defeat every opponent in just one punch, but he explicitly states that he's a hero "for fun".
