“We’re not delaying your mission outside the city, are we?”
Paimon hovered behind Amber, her small figure bobbing with concern.
“It’s no problem! My mission is just to clear out a nearby Hilichurl camp.”
Amber smiled confidently. “Recently, there’s been an increase in Hilichurl activity near Mondstadt. As an Outrider, it’s my duty to take care of their camps.”
“Hilichurls?”
Lumine, a traveler from another world, asked curiously.
“Hilichurls are wild creatures that roam the wilderness,” Amber explained briefly, but before she could continue, her sharp eyes spotted movement. “Found one!”
Amber immediately readied her bow, and Lumine, intrigued, stepped forward.
“Let me help you deal with them.”
Surprised but she quickly wondered about the traveler’s strength, Amber nodded. Together, they swiftly cleared out the small Hilichurl encampment.
“Wow! Amber, you’re so fast!”
Paimon’s admiration was clear in her voice.
“This is nothing,” Amber replied modestly. “There are others in Mondstadt who can clear camps even faster than me.” She then turned to Lumine.
“Thank you for your help earlier,” Amber said sincerely. “With the Stormterror situation, many orchards and trade routes have been disrupted. The Knights are stretched thin…”
Lumine reached out and lightly clasped Amber’s hand. “It’s no big deal—just a small favor.”
“Even so, I appreciate it.”
Amber gave a grateful smile. “Alright, let me take you to Mondstadt!”
After some time walking, Amber finally led Lumine and Paimon to the city gates of Mondstadt.
Paimon suddenly stopped, sniffing the air. “What’s that amazing smell?”
“Yeah, it smells great…” Lumine agreed, both of them drawn by the aroma wafting through the air.
Nearby, Lynn, a chef happily preparing her lunch, looked up in surprise at the two figures who had approached her so suddenly.
“Oh, it’s just people… I thought it was some kind of monster!” Lynn let out a relieved sigh before offering warmly, “Are you travelers? Would you like to share some food?”
“Lynn?” Amber had caught up by then and recognized her. “Oh, it’s you!”
“Really? We can eat?!” Paimon’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
But Lynn’s gaze shifted to Lumine, her expression growing curious. “Wait a moment… You…”
“Golden hair, foreign clothes… Ah! Could it be you’re the one he’s been looking for?!”
“Huh?” Lumine, who had been eyeing the pot of food with interest, snapped her attention to Lynn. “Someone in Mondstadt is looking for me?”
Paimon froze mid-air. “Wait, traveler! Could she be talking about your brother?!”
“Could it be?” Lumine looked stunned.
Amber, intrigued by the revelation, added, “So you have a brother? No wonder you’re so strong!”
“Are you sure they’re talking about my brother?” Lumine asked, still doubtful.
“Well, there’s only one way to find out,” Amber said cheerfully.
Reluctantly, Lumine nodded.
Once they entered Mondstadt, Amber gestured toward the city’s grandeur. “Allow me to formally welcome you. Behold the City of Freedom, the city of songs and dandelions, protected by the Knights of Favonius—welcome to Mondstadt!”
After a brief introduction to the city, Amber turned to Lumine again.
“Oh, right! To thank you for helping me earlier, I have a gift for you. I’ll take you to the Knights’ Headquarters later—and we’ll find your brother, too.”
“What about my gift?”
Paimon’s impatience was met with a grin from Amber, who handed her a plate of Sticky Honey Roast.
Later, from a high point in the city, Amber presented Lumine with a pair of Wind Gliders.
“These are Wind Gliders—one of Mondstadt’s specialties! With these, you can glide through the skies. They’re super handy!”
“A flying device, huh…” Lumine inspected the gliders, then glanced at Paimon. “But I already have Paimon. Can I trade these for more Sticky Honey Roast?”
“Hey! Paimon is not a flying device!”
Paimon puffed up in frustration, causing Amber to laugh.
“Alright, alright,” Amber said with a chuckle. “Let’s test them out! Follow me, and we’ll glide down to the lower district.”
She smiled reassuringly. “We can stop by the Adventurers’ Guild and ask Katheryne if she knows anything about your brother.”
“Alright,” Lumine agreed.

Meanwhile…
Jia Changjiang was elsewhere in the city.
“Salt, pepper, sugar…”
He muttered to himself, carrying some cooking ingredients he had picked up for Lynn. As he made his way toward the cathedral, he prepared to deliver an item he had been tasked with retrieving for the sisters.
However, as he walked, his gaze shifted to the sky, where clouds had begun to gather ominously.
“Is it going to rain?” he wondered, but brushed the thought aside and stepped into the cathedral.
“I’ve brought the mints and Sweet Flowers from the commission.”
After handing over the requested items to a nun and receiving his payment, Jia Changjiang opened his system interface and marked the task as complete.
“Looks like I’m close to gathering enough skill fragments again… Should I save up for a ten-pull, or just roll now?”
Lost in thought, he was interrupted by the nun. “Mr. Jia, is something on your mind?”
“Huh? Oh, no, I’m fine. Just thinking about something small.”
Before he could elaborate, an urgent cry rang out from outside.
“Take cover! Stormterror is coming!!!”
“What?!”
As everyone around him rushed to safety, Jia Changjiang moved quickly, stepping outside to see what was happening.
In the sky above, the colossal teal dragon roared ferociously, unleashing destruction upon Mondstadt.
“Stormterror…”
Jia Changjiang stared upward, his sharp eyes catching sight of something in the dragon’s storm-tossed winds.
A figure with golden hair and Wind Gliders was being swept higher into the skies.
“Lumine?”
Realizing who it was, Jia Changjiang’s expression hardened. “She’s already here? So it’s the sister…”
While the traveler’s arrival piqued his curiosity, it was the dragon’s presence that truly ignited his excitement.
“I missed the last time Stormterror attacked Mondstadt! Not this time!”
With determination, he grabbed a civilian-grade Wind Glider he’d purchased earlier and climbed to the top of the towering Anemo Archon statue.
“Let the storm carry me!”
With flushed cheeks and exhilaration in his heart, Jia Changjiang leapt into the dragon’s tempest, soaring upward into the sky.

At that moment, Lumine heard a voice in her ears.
“I’ve summoned the winds of a thousand years to protect you… Use them to break through…”
Then, startled, the voice paused.
“Wait, what?! How did he get up here?!”
Lumine blinked, confused. “???”
