Guest From Afar[]

You and Noelle met a strange guest near Mondstadt named Alois. Alois claims to be a merchant who has lost his cargo due to a monster attack. Noelle decides to bring Alois to Mondstadt to help him find his lost goods...
- (Approach the gate)
- Swan: Aha, Honorary Knight and Noelle. Were you two out on a mission?
- Swan: Wait, who is this person behind you?
- Alois: I... My name is Alois. I'm a humble merchant.
- Swan: Ah, Mondstadt welcomes you, strange yet respectable traveler.
- Swan: Please state your identity and purpose. The Knights of Favonius are here to ensure your safety.
- Alois: Uh... ahem... I came to Mondstadt to import wines back to Liyue...
- Swan: I see, but are you not carrying any luggage or goods?
- Swan: I also don't see your name among the wine merchants that Mondstadt regularly deals with...
- Alois: I... It's my first time visiting Mondstadt, but I expect to come back often...
- Ministry of Civil Affairs. I need to verify your identity. Swan: Hmm... In that case, please show me the relevant documents issued by Liyue's
- Alois: Huh? What on earth is the Min— ...Oh! Right, right, I... put them in my luggage!
- Swan: ...Luggage?
- Noelle: Oh, our apologies... This gentleman was just attacked by a monster and lost both his luggage and his goods.
- Noelle: Could you allow him to calm down a bit before we register him with the Knights?
- Knights of Favonius Handbook, caution should be exercised with regard to unfamiliar visitors. Swan: Hmm, according to Article 10 of the
- Noelle: But Article 2 of the Knights of Favonius Handbook also says that one must not offend our visitors, right?
- Swan: Mmm, well... In this situation... umm...
- Swan: ...I—It seems the Knights of Favonius Handbook has a bit of an overlap...
I'll keep an eye on him. Nothing bad will happen.
- Swan: Well... if you are keeping watch, there shouldn't be a problem...
- Stormterror. Noelle: After all, this is our Honorary Knight, the one who defended Mondstadt from the claws of the frenzied
- Alois: Storm... terror?
Many times your height, without jumping.
He's a little fellow, not worth worrying about.
- Alois: Haha... indeed... good one...
Leave it to Noelle. She can take care of the situation.
- Swan: Hmm... if Noelle is willing to vouch for him, then I can rest easy.
After all, she is the most reliable maid in all Mondstadt.
- Noelle: I'm... just doing my job...
- Noelle: "Most reliable"? I've got a way to go, but I will try to live up to that!
I'll be there too.
- Swan: Well then, I'm counting on you two to take care of this gentleman while he's in Mondstadt.

To display Mondstadt's hospitality to guests, Noelle is working hard and making preparations.
- (After the cutscene)
- Noelle: So you're a wine merchant? You must have excellent wine knowledge.
- Noelle: Would you like to rest awhile at Angel's Share? It's our signature tavern.
- Alois: Such a... warm welcome... how could I refuse?
- (Approach Angel's Share)
- Alois: Ah... Angel's Share. So this barrel must be full with Mondstadt's celebrated wine, right? If only it could be imitated...
"Imitated"?
- Alois: Oh, uh... imported! That's the word.
- Noelle: Sorry to keep you waiting. Drink up!
- Calla Lily because it has a calming effect. Noelle: This is a Dandelion Wine-based cocktail — I asked the bartender to add
- Noelle: I know you've been on the road for a long time and cold drinks would be bad for your stomach.
- Noelle: So I requested less ice. Hope it's to your liking.
- Alois: Calming?
- Alois: Is this what they give to all visitors in Mondstadt?
...Made especially for you.
- Alois: Hehe... because you know I'm interested in Mondstadt wines?
You're very interested, no?
- Alois: Y—Yes! Just interested, mind you.
...Noelle's way of showing hospitality.
- Alois: Aha... o—okay then...
- Alois: On another note, that drink's made me realize just how empty my stomach is...
- Noelle: Oh, so you're hungry too!
- pancakes for you. Noelle: ...How terrible of me. If I'd realized, I would've saved some
Not to worry. Let's go to the Good Hunter restaurant.
- Alois: Oh, good idea! That sounds like a good place!
- (Approach Good Hunter)
- Alois: Mmmm... smells incredible! So it's true... If you really want to sell Mondstadt wines, you can't do without Mondstadt dishes...
- Alois: Maybe recipes will be easier to obtain than the brewing process...
Brewing process?
Easier to obtain?
- Alois: Oh! Uhh, what I mean is... the Dandelion Wine brewing process is unique — difficult to imitate! That's why we merchants can buy with confidence!
- Alois: Haha, where was I... Let's see, what's on the menu... Hmm, so many dishes... hard to decide...
- Noelle: Can I help?
- Alois: Uh, sure... What do you suggest?
- Noelle: Hm... Well, do you prefer red meat or white?
- Alois: I like 'em both.
- Steaks here are cuts of freshly shipped Springvale Boar. I'd recommend having it served medium to really bring out the natural sweetness of the meat. Noelle: The
- Sweet Madame is another specialty. Crispy skin and tender meat — goes perfectly with wine! Noelle: Mm... oh!
- Noelle: However, those dishes alone aren't very healthy from a nutritional standpoint.
- Mushroom Pizza and a Satisfying Salad too on the side. Noelle: I recommend a
- Noelle: If that sounds okay, I'll place the order for you. This meal is on me, to make up for my inattentiveness.
- Alois: That's too generous of you...
- Noelle: Please, enjoy. After all, it's your first meal here as a new visitor, and your last. I wouldn't want to give you the cold shoulder.
- Alois: Huh? *coughing* M—My last!? *choking*
- Alois: ...You give this meal to... all new visitors, right?
This one was made especially for you.
- Alois: Wait... Is it really my last meal?
Your last meal as a new visitor, of course. So enjoy!
- Alois: Ah, haha... so that's what it means... Well, then I better make the most of it...
It's just Noelle's way of showing hospitality.
- Alois: Aha... o—okay then...
Where are we going after the meal?
Noelle, do we have anything else on the itinerary?
- Noelle: How about With Wind Comes Glory?
- Noelle: For our final stop, I want to leave Mr. Alois with something to commemorate his time here.
- Alois: So... that's the final stop, yes?
- Alois: Wait... what are we commemorating?
- (Approach Marjorie)
- Marjorie: Oh, here's your order, Noelle.
- Noelle: Thanks, Marjorie.
- Noelle: Mr. Alois, please accept this souvenir.
- Alois: Eh-he, thanks. I will treasure this wood carving forev— ...Eh?
- Alois: Wait, what's on the... Is that... the insignia of the Knights of Favonius?
- Noelle: I, maid Noelle, on behalf of Mondstadt and the Knights of Favonius, officially welcome you!
- Alois: Wait... Knights of Favonius? How can you be both a maid and a part of the Knights of Favonius?
She's a maid of the Knights of Favonius.
She's a future knight of Favonius.
- Alois: So, so this gift is also a...
This one was made especially for you.
- Alois: So it's... a warning!
It's just Noelle's way of showing hospitality.
- Alois: ...So, just a regular souvenir?
Branch 1[]
- Noelle: Oh, I'm afraid this is all I had time for...
- Noelle: However, I hope it leaves you with a lasting impression of your trip to Mondstadt.
- Noelle: Now then, if you wouldn't mind accompanying me to the Knights of Favonius, the registration process only requires—
- Alois: Ah—! N—no need! I uhh... suddenly I remember where I lost my luggage!
- Noelle: Oh? Well then we should at least go and file a report with the Knights—
- sic], I'll just head over and retrieve it! Alois: —Nope, not necessary! Now that the danger's past [
- Noelle: Huh? But... what about the savage monsters...?
- Noelle: For your protection, I feel strongly that one of our knights should escort you there.
- Noelle: Or... perhaps it's a little too soon but...
- Noelle: ...I'll escort you. Let's go!
- Alois: Ugh...
No need.
Allow me.
- TravelerTraveler)? Noelle: Oh? ...You want to escort him yourself, (
- Noelle: ...That would certainly put my mind at rest...
- Noelle: In that case, I'll report the situation to Swan. Let's meet back at the gates of the city a little later.
- Noelle: Please take care of Mr. Alois.
After Hospitality Comes...[]

Noelle's passionate reception is putting an immense amount of pressure on Alois, who just wants to leave...
- (Approach the end of the bridge)
- Alois: *whimpers*
Okay, no further.
- Alois: ...So this is the end?
I can't see anyone around.
- Alois: Meaning this is a good spot!?
If you understand, then nothing needs to be said.
If you don't understand, it's pointless to explain.
- Alois: Archons above! Oh, honorable knight, please have mercy! Forgive me! I'll confess! I'll confess to everything!
- Alois: I was planning to investigate Mondstadt's Dandelion Wine — to see if I could find a way to imitate it!
- Alois: I didn't expect you to see through it right from the start! Please! I—I never actually did anything!
- Alois: It's attempted fraud at worst, right? Tell me it isn't punishable by death!
- Alois: Or... or is it because you have no intention to try me at all...?
- Alois: W—Which explains why you didn't expose me in the city — you simply chose a location to finish me!
...Go.
- Alois: Spare me, noble kn— ...Wh—What...?
- Alois: Go...? I can go? Really?
No more scheming against Mondstadt.
- Alois: Of... Of course! With you and the maid around, who would dare?
...Change your ways, and you are welcome to visit Mondstadt again.
- Alois: Yes sir! I understand! Goodbye, most honorable Honorary Knight!
- (After the cutscene)
- Paimon: So... he really did have ulterior motives...
- sic] Let's head back and see how she's doing first. Paimon: Should we tell Noelle... ? [
- (Approach Noelle)
- TravelerTraveler), you're back. Noelle: Ah, (
- Noelle: Eh? How come... Mr. Alois isn't with you?
He left.
- Noelle: Left? Already? Left Mondstadt...?
- Noelle: ...And I didn't even get around to arranging his accommodations, or introducing the wine merchants to him...
- Noelle: ...I must have been... negligent in some way... Did I leave him with a bad impression of Mondstadt...?
- Noelle: Why else would he have left without a farewell...?
- Noelle: Oh, I... I couldn't even handle this smallest of tasks...
He had a sinister plot, so I drove him away.
- Noelle: A plot? ...So he was scheming the whole time?
- Noelle: As expected, I'm still too naive...
- Noelle: And that's why we have the Honorary Knight to rely on, in times of trouble...
He had to get back, it had nothing to do with you.
- Noelle: You're just... trying to make me feel better...
- Noelle: Thank you, but...
- Noelle: I must have done something wrong! Our visitor would never have left in such a hurry...
- Noelle: *sigh* How can I ever become a real knight of Favonius like this...?

Branch 2[]
- Noelle: I'm afraid this is all I had time for...
- Noelle: However, I hope it leaves you with a lasting impression of your trip to Mondstadt.
- Alois: I... really don't understand... why you went to all this trouble...
- Alois: I don't have any goods or relevant documents... plus I don't exactly look like your everyday honest merchant.
- Alois: Even if there were nothing to suggest otherwise... surely it would've been better to take me straight to the Knights for investigation...
- Alois: ...And yet you still went to all this effort... to prepare all this for me...
- Alois: Didn't you wonder whether the savage monsters — the missing cargo... What if it were all lies?
- Noelle: Why would I think that? I'm just doing what a maid of Favonius should do.
- Noelle: Knights of Favonius Handbook Article 2: "Do not exhibit suspicion or hostility towards visitors, no matter how suspicious they may seem."
- Noelle: You are a visitor from far away. You should be welcomed by me and by Mondstadt.
- Noelle: Even if there really is only a slight possibility that everything you say is true...
- Noelle: Being attacked by savage monsters, losing goods and documents... Isn't it times like these that people need help the most?
- Noelle: And if I failed to offer our hospitality on such an occasion, despite there being no evidence to back up your claims...
- Noelle: ...That's not the way a maid of Favonius should behave!
- Alois: I see... Well, thank you...
- Alois: It's... time for me to leave Mondstadt.
- Noelle: Huh? Why the hurry...?
- Noelle: We haven't recovered your lost property yet...
- Alois: No need. I've just remembered where I left them.
- Alois: Somewhere far, far away...
- Alois: I'll be sure to keep a better eye on them next time.
- Alois: Perhaps when I'm a visitor worthy of your hospitality, I can return to Mondstadt.
- Noelle: Umm... I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean...
- Noelle: But if you think you can retrieve your lost property, that's great.
You two clearly aren't talking about the same thing...
But at least the problem seems to be solved.
- Alois: What a short trip...
- Alois: But... thank you for your care and hospitality, I've learned a lot...
- Alois: Goodbye, Mondstadt. Goodbye, maid of the Knights of Favonius!
- Noelle: Ah, okay then... goodbye!
- Noelle: Mondstadt and I, maid Noelle of the Knights of Favonius, will always welcome you when you return!
