The second quest in the events of 'Akitsu Kimodameshi' in Genshin Impact is 'Haunted Tales,' which will give players a chance to continue their adventures with Arataki Itto and find the next object in the Shinju Forest for the Test of Courage.
This quest is quite similar to the first and will require a bit of searching around the forest, mixed with a few cutscenes. In order to unlock the next quest, here is how you can complete 'Haunted Tales' with a few steps to guide you along the way.
How To Complete The 'Haunted Tales' Quest
To begin this quest, you will want to head back to the site of the Test of Courage. It will be in the same location as before, next to the Teleport Waypoint in Chinju Forest. You can use the above picture as a reference.
You will begin a cutscene with Arataki Itto here, where you will all discuss that you could not find the three children from before. The cutscene will end with Itto going off to attempt to scare the three children.
Next, head to the Shrine Maiden to discuss the second round of the Test of Courage. She will be directly behind you, shown above.
While talking to the Shrine Maiden, she will inform you that to proceed with the second round, you will have to pick a different partner from the first round. You will have three options in the surrounding area: Sayu, Yoimiya, and Thoma. You can talk to each one individually and choose which one you want to partner up with based on your preferences. It will have no effect on whether you win or not.
When you've decided which partner you want, go to them and let them know. You will then want to head back to the Shrine Maiden to discuss the second round. She will inform you that the item you are looking for in the Chinju Forest is a 'fan.' After the cutscene ends, you will begin your search with your partner.
The path of arrows will lead you down the dirt path straight ahead. When you reach the area where the path splits between going forward and going to the left, you will want to take the left-hand path.
As you make your way down here, there will be another split in the road, with one direction going left and the other going right. Take the left-hand path that will take you across the small stream.
Finally, there will be one more split in the road. There will be a path on the left and a path on the right. You will want to take the one on the right that will lead you up the hill.
When you reach the top, you should see a small fan on the ground with a yellow arrow hovering above it. This will be the fan that will complete the second round of the Test of Courage.
After you grab the fan, you'll have a cutscene with Sayu (or whichever character you choose), where she will take the fan with her, and you'll go looking for Itto to see if he found the three children. You'll find Itto just across the stream nearby, talking to the three children and confronting them. A long cutscene will then begin between you, Itto, and the three children, who turn out to be Youkai. They tell a few stories about their origin and why they are at the Test of Courage. You'll then agree to accompany them to help them prepare for a festival.
You'll want to head back to the location of the Akitsu Yuugei game on the beach. You can teleport there directly using the 'Lesiurely Pastime' location on the map shown above.
When you arrive, you'll run into the woman known as 'Chizuru' again, to which you will propose a game of Akitsu Yuugei. Approach the board in front of you to begin the match.
You can use the team and Modifiers above to finish the Akitsu Yuugei match. We recommend focusing on creating the Freezeball, Coagulating, and Pierce Reactions to complete the level. After you complete your round, though, Chizuru will finish the match and will automatically beat you. She will then leave after telling you her wish.
You'll then want to head back to the site of the Test of Courage using the map above. It will be just up the hill. You'll have another long cutscene with Itto and a few other characters, including some of the Youkai. Eventually, Heizou will join the conversation and ask you to follow him.
Lastly, head back to the location where you last saw the Shrine Maiden. Here, you'll find out the next item you will have to find for the third round, which will be a 'Hagoita.' When the cutscene ends, the quest will finally wrap up.

Upon completion of 'Haunted Tales', you'll receive a few rewards. Here is what you will get:
- 30x Primogems
- 2x Hero's Wit

Now that you have completed 'Haunted Tales,' you can now move on to the next quest, 'The Currents of Life,' or you can work on the next 'Leisurely Pastime' Challenges.
