Lumine: "Speaking of which, you don't seem very curious about our appearances. It feels like, well... you already knew."
"Huh?! D-did I?"
"Yes, it feels like you have many secrets I don't know..."
"Haha... ha... maybe it's just your imagination..." (Is this what girls call intuition? It's too accurate! (✘д✘๑))
"Are you sure it's not because the host is being too obvious?"
(Shut up!)
Jean: "Acting Grand Master Jean! Ah, you're finally awake."
Diluc: "Hmph... many mysteries will be solved now."
Lumine: "Eh? Diluc, why did you get here so quickly?"
"Don't underestimate my network of informants, and besides... seeing that little one fly towards the Knights so quickly, the only possibility is that she's awake."
(So what does that have to do with your informant network...)
"Hello, I am Jean, Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius. I have a few questions for you, and I would appreciate your cooperation."
"Oh, oh! I understand!" (I feel a very strong sense of authority washing over me! (ŐдŐ๑))
"Hmm, first, may I ask for your real name?"
"Um... my name is Ying... Ying, as in 'crystal clear' Ying."
Paimon: "It's really the same as yours, isn't it?"
"The pronunciation is the same, but the meaning is different. I'm Ying, as in 'fluorescent' Ying."
"And your age?"
"Eh? Um... I haven't reached 17 yet... I think?"
Diluc: "Oh? To be able to single-handedly lure away and defeat six Hillichurl Brutes at just 16 years old, you're quite capable."
"Ha... haha..." (Being beaten into this state, it's hard to accept the compliment. x﹏x)
"Hmm... do you know why you resemble this Honorary Knight so much?"
"Uh... I don't know. Honestly, I was quite surprised myself, I just didn't show it." (How could I tell the truth!)
Paimon: "Oh? Seeing how you wear everything on your face, you don't seem like the type who can hide their true thoughts very well."
"Emm... that's none of your business!" (Why is this emergency food so sharp, just like the system! (＞д＜))
"I see... next question, were you the one who attacked that Abyss Mage at Starsnatch Cliff?"
"Ah, yes, that was me~"
Diluc: "Then why did you attack them? And why did you not want us to find out after the attack?"
"As for why, hmm... I just found him displeasing. He didn't seem like a good person. I happened to have some bombs borrowed from Klee, so I just went ahead with it~ As for why I didn't want you to see me... hmm... because I'm a bit shy?"
"Hmph... Interesting. Congratulations, you've convinced me."
"Phew~ I'm glad you believe me."
"I feel like they're just giving the host a way out."
(Huh?! Is that so...)
Jean: "Hmm, I have a general understanding of the situation. For now, please focus on recovering from your injuries. If you wish, you can also settle down in Mondstadt City, after all, you made a promise with Klee to play together."
"However... while your recent actions have helped Mondstadt quite a bit, due to our limited understanding of you, I cannot fully trust you yet. Please understand that I will need to assign someone to accompany you when you go out."
"Ah~ It's okay, I understand. I will prove I'm not a bad person with my actions later. Besides, I should be staying in Mondstadt until the Liyue Qixing's Rite of Descension begins~"
(She's going to Liyue too?!) [Lumine]
"Yes, thank you very much for your cooperation. I will find a suitable person for you very soon."
"Let me go with her."
"Eh? The Honorary Knight wants to take charge herself?"
"Mhm, I have many questions for her, and I'd like to spend more time together."
"Hmm... alright. If it's you, I can rest assured. Thank you for your trouble."
"It's nothing (^～^)"
(I got a bodyguard before I even said anything... But that's good. This might be the legendary opportunity for a protagonist~ )
"Then I will return to my official duties. Please take good care of your injuries. Once you've recovered, the Honorary Knight can show you around Mondstadt City. I hope you will enjoy the atmosphere of Mondstadt."
"Mhm, mhm, thank you for your kindness, Acting Grand Master Jean. I will definitely enjoy it (^～^)"
Diluc: "Hmm... I should get back to the tavern as well. If you wish to drink... never mind. Since you're only 16, it's best to avoid places like taverns."
"Thank you for your kind concern, Master Diluc. But if I have the chance, I'd still like to try~ A little bit shouldn't hurt, and who knows, I might even buy drinks for others~" (Hehe~ I'm thinking of bribing that guy Venti with alcohol~ )
"Hmm... generally, taverns do not serve those who are not of drinking age. However... given your various actions have piqued my interest, if you truly wish to try, I can make an exception for you... of course, provided you have someone accompanying you. It wouldn't be good if you got too drunk after just a little bit."
"Hehe~ Thank you, Master Diluc! Goodbye, Master Diluc~"
Paimon: "Lumine, let's go out for a meal. I'm starving!"
"I know, Ying. How are you feeling? Can you get out of bed?"
"Mhm, although I'm still a bit weak, I can walk."
"That's good. Let's go eat together (^～^)"
"Okay, okay! My stomach is completely empty right now~"
"Here, be careful."
Paimon: "It feels like an older sister taking care of her younger sister~"
"Eh? Why am I the younger sister?"
"Because at first glance, you don't seem as... smart? Or mature? as Lumine. And now that I think about it, you're a bit shorter too~ (˘︶˘)"
"Eh?! Now that you mention it, I really am a little... shorter?" Ying measured with her hand and said reluctantly.
(System, come out here and explain what's going on!)
"Ah, well, the host's age is definitely not as old as hers, so I made you a bit younger. Your height is also reduced by about 1 cm. You wouldn't notice unless you looked closely~"
(Why do I want to beat you to death? Height is a person's dignity, okay!)
"The host was also quite short before crossing over."
(Pfft—?! Y-you! You better not materialize, or I'll make sure you're well taken care of!!)
"Heh heh~"
"Sigh... forget it, forget it. Being a younger sister isn't so bad anyway. (ー△ー）)"
Lumine: "Why do you suddenly seem so resigned?"
"Eh? Um... perhaps I've been won over by Paimon's incredibly sharp insight."
"Heh heh, you'll make me blush if you praise me like that~"
The group walked along and soon arrived at the "Good Hunter"...
