[That's it. That's all you're getting.]

Hmmmmm~ I personally encourage you to ask anyone and everyone! But maybe that's just because I'm a detective. I'm used to searching high and low for evidence~

And yet, I am not one. You'll need to give me some clues or alas, I'm afraid I might falter behind!

Oh? I know you're sharper than you let on, Miss Hu Tao! If I give you too many clues, the game wouldn't be as fun~

You do have a point but it still would be beneficial regardless. Oh, won't you please help me out?

[He taps one finger to his chin, lips pursed on a smirk.]

Oh, I suppose I could give you one little hint. But only if you reeeeeeeally want it.

Then what is it? Plleeaassee, can't you tell me?

[She said leaning closer and placing both hands together.]

What's that saying go? With lots and lots of sugar on top?

[He chuckles.] I think you're looking for "pretty please with sugar on top"~

[And since he's relenting, he just raises that one finger up like he's making a point with it.]

Here's your hint: it has to do with my job!

[...Heizou that's hardly a hint-]

That's not much of a hint at all. Is there anyone else who I can talk to? Perhaps someone who you are familiar or a friend of yours?

[:<]

Unfortunately everyone I know here doesn't know me from home. So I'm afraid they wouldn't be of much help to you!

[In return, all she could do was give a sigh.]

Now you're just making it hard for me on purpose.

I'd admit to that if that's all I was doing. But that one's just true! I'd be pretty surprised if any of them knew what my reputation back home is.

It seems that I have no choice but to make a few assumptions based on how you are like.

[She said before crossing her arms and giving a small sigh.]

Then it would be safe to assume you might know mine.

[He snaps his fingers with a grin.]

Spoken like a true detective! Don't be shy now, let's hear them~

That I have a reputation of being mischievous around the area. Especially as I am a rather unique individual around Liyue Harbor.

[His grin starts to teeter on the edge of a smirk, and he wags his finger in the air a little.]

"Eccentric" is the word I was going to use! Not a terrible reputation to have, especially if you have some good friends in... decently high places.

[Which makes her all the more suspicious as she gave a small hum.]

And tell me, what kind of friends do you have in those decently high places...?

[He chuckles a little at that.]

Well, I am a detective for the commission. I suppose that gives me some connections.

You on the other hand... Your connections seem more colorful and fun than mine~

Then how about this? If you look for someone named Zhongli or Venti, I'm pretty sure they can tell you about my reputation back in Liyue. I'm pretty sure they have lots of stories to tell!

[Take that however you will.]

I'll be sure to ask them the next time I see them~

[He grins, though.]

Venti might know about my own reputation in Inazuma, but I can't say for certain. I've certainly never had to tell him outright.

Oh? You'll have to explain a little bit more. What do you mean might?

[Because you can't leave her hanging!!]

[Oh but he can!]

I mean maybe Venti's been able to figure it out without much help from me! That bard is a clever one, you know~

And yet, you are going to make me have to work to figure it out. I suppose I'll just have the ask the next time around!

[She said with a giggle.]

You certainly are a person, Mr. Heizou.
