Chapter 113

……

The continent of Teyvat.

Mondstadt.

After the initial resolution of the Stormterror crisis yesterday, the place had fallen into a brief peace.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jean began to take action.

First, she had to deal with the three abandoned temples of the Four Winds.

The reason Stormterror was able to whip up a storm of that magnitude was by borrowing the power within those temples.

This was something they already knew in advance through the game's plot.

But because they had to defend against Stormterror's attacks previously, they hadn't been able to go and resolve it.

Now was the time!

Thus, Jean took Kaeya, Lisa, and other Knights of Favonius and began heading toward the abandoned temples.

As for finding the Anemo Archon and purifying the dragon tears, Jean entrusted that to the Traveler, Lumine.

Because only she had that ability.

At this moment, Lumine, Paimon, and Amber had arrived beneath the statue of the Anemo Archon.

"The tone-deaf bard is really here!"

Paimon was surprised to see Venti among the crowd ahead.

The nickname "tone-deaf bard" was something she had learned from the game.

She thought it was pretty good.

So she started using it.

"Let's wait until the Anemo Archon... until Venti finishes his performance before we go over."

"It shouldn't take long."

Amber suggested.

Lumine and Paimon had no objections.

After waiting for a short while, seeing that Venti's performance had ended and the crowd was leaving,

the three of them hurried over.

"Yo, it's you guys!"

Seeing Lumine and the others, Venti greeted them with a smile.

He knew all three of them.

One was an Outrider of the Knights of Favonius.

One was the otherworldly Traveler who had peeked at his "date" with Dvalin yesterday.

"Hello there, Tone-deaf... Venti!"

Paimon quickly corrected herself halfway through.

Because she suddenly felt it wasn't good to call someone by a nickname the first time they met.

Thinking of this, she recalled the scene where Amber had suddenly changed her words yesterday.

What she must have wanted to say back then was "emergency food," right?

Damn it!

Paimon is not that!

Paimon gave Amber a resentful look.

???

Amber felt a bit baffled.

"You know me?"

Venti was a bit surprised.

"Of course, you're the three-time consecutive champion of Mondstadt's Most Beloved Bard!"

Little Paimon wiggled her finger to show she knew.

Before Venti could react, a mischievous smirk appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"And you're also the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, right?"

Venti: "???"

There's a mole, stop the trade... ah, no, wait,

I've been exposed just like that?

"Alright Paimon, let's get straight to the point."

Lumine walked up and took out a shining dragon tear.

"I have the ability to purify tear crystals. Let's go find Stormterror, that is, Dvalin, to collect some first, and then go get the Holy Lyre der Himmel."

Although she was anxious to know news about her brother,

the most important thing right now was still resolving the dragon disaster.

As for the rest, she would ask Venti later.

"???"

Venti was even more confused now.

Good grief!

I haven't said anything yet!

And you've already stripped my thoughts bare?

Having been completely exposed, Venti didn't bother playing dumb anymore.

"You few, who exactly are you?"

"And how do you know all this?"

"Hehe..."

Paimon crossed her arms behind her back with a smile on her face.

Venti: "???"

Seeing this scene, Amber couldn't help but hold back her laughter.

The Anemo Archon, who had been fooling the Traveler in the game, was now actually being held in check by a floating creature!

It really was unexpected.

But remembering that the person opposite was the Anemo Archon, she coughed twice and forcibly held back her smile.

"Ahem, Lord Barbatos, we came this time..."

Before Amber could finish her sentence, a stone door suddenly appeared nearby.

Whoosh~

The stone door opened slowly, and then a powerful suction force struck the four of them.

"Oh no, dodge quickly!"

Venti was the first to react and quickly issued a warning.

Then he prepared to take action to stop it.

But it was already too late.

Lumine and Paimon, who were closest to the stone door, were sucked straight in.

Then, along with the stone door, they disappeared without a trace.

……

PS: Big bosses, the book will be officially released in the next two days.

This little rookie needs to save up some drafts.

Because my typing speed is slow, I can only do four updates for the next two days.

Once it's released, this little rookie will burst out with all of them.

I beg you all to please forgive me...
