Chapter 104

Mondstadt City!

The free city-state located in the northeast of the Teyvat continent, between mountains and vast plains, the wind of freedom carrying the scent of dandelions blew across Cider Lake, sending the blessings and grace of the Anemo Archon Barbatos to Mondstadt City located on the island in the center of the lake.

The scars brought by the disaster five hundred years ago had long since faded, and the city-state yearning for freedom was moving toward prosperity under the leadership of the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius.

Although it had experienced setbacks, it had stumbled through, and made this ancient city-state exude an inspiring vitality.

Early morning had just arrived.

The city, which was quiet a moment ago, became lively in just a short while.

Opening the city gates, lowering the drawbridge, merchant caravans from various countries and adventurers going out to explore began to enter and exit one after another.

Among the crowd of adventurers, one petite figure was particularly eye-catching.

That was a girl with brilliant golden long hair, the blonde hair tied into a kind of twin-tails on both sides of her head with black ribbons,

the purple bow at the collar added a bit of playfulness and cuteness, and under the gorgeous dress lingering on the edge of health was semi-transparent purple asymmetrical stockings, which perfectly outlined the girl's still green figure.

The girl held her head high and chest out, and on her exquisite little face, her left eye with beautiful emerald green pupils was covered by a black eye patch.

"Oz, my familiar! Spread your wings that block the sun and the moon, and go watch over the person who has forged a three-life bond with this Prinzessin!"

Accompanied by the riddles that made people confused coming out of the girl's mouth, the pitch-black night raven flying beside her shoulder suddenly spoke in a human voice, which was shocking.

"As you wish, Mein Fräulein."

Subsequently, it rushed straight into the sky, overlooking the entire Mondstadt City with the help of the high-altitude view.

In the eyes of outsiders, this was absolutely an extremely rare thing, but the people around seemed to have long been accustomed to it.

From time to time, people would greet the girl who called herself a Prinzessin, only to receive answers that claimed to be noble but were full of unclear meanings.

This posture of pretending to be high and mighty not only wouldn't make people unhappy, but would make people feel the girl's cuteness and innocence.

Not long after, the night raven named Oz returned to her side, responding to the question of the master he served.

"Mein Fräulein, that lord should still be at home; it's just right to go over now."

"Well done, Oz; remember to recount the heroic posture of our duel with the nameless monsters last night to the sage who teaches this Prinzessin later!"

"Understood, Mein Fräulein."

The steady voice mixed with the girl's unique jumpy tone was laughable.

Striding through the crowd, the merchants who knew her along the way all joked with friendliness.

"Little Fischl, did you have any harvest yesterday?"

"I heard you were investigating a ruin, and later had a conflict with the people from the Reconnaissance Company?"

"Little Fischl, it's better not to go out at night, especially in Wolvendom, where there are the most wolf monsters at night."

"..."

To those well-intentioned reminders, Fischl responded politely and appropriately, although others might not understand much.

Facing the teasing words, she glared fiercely and retorted without hesitation, indicating that she didn't need to worry about safety issues at all.

She was a powerful adventurer well-known in the Adventurers' Guild, and her reconnaissance ability was the best in Mondstadt; most of the time when the guild couldn't figure out a situation, they would request her to go and collect information.

And the reason why she could have today, I remember, had to be pushed back several years.

At that time, she was still a little girl who was overly addicted to "Flowers for Princess Fischl," bringing herself into the protagonist; when she was young, others just thought it was a little girl's fantasy and laughed it off.

But as she grew up day by day, she still firmly believed in the Prinzessin's story.

Until her fourteenth birthday, that growing chuunibyou fantasy was personally shattered by her parents.

Fischl, whose mood sank to the bottom, ran away from home, and while walking on the street, was occasionally taken home by a young man who was willing to listen to her story and comforted her well.

The other party not only agreed with her fantasy and identity, but was also willing to take on the responsibility of personally teaching the Prinzessin to grow.

Gaining encouragement and a spiritual pillar, Fischl quickly cheered up again.

And after that day, a Vision and Oz appeared by her side.

From then on, the girl whose spiritual sustenance had shifted would go to the home of the so-called "sage" from time to time.

After all, who else could be called a sage who could teach the Prinzessin?

Passing through the fountain, arriving at the Anemo Archon Plaza.

Fischl, who had detached from her memories, walked lightly to the residential area next to the Favonius Cathedral, where the residence of the "sage" who had a three-life bond with her was.

It was a detached house with only two floors, with a small yard planted with various flowers.

Fischl was extremely familiar with pushing open the yard fence and coming to the door to knock gently.
