Chapter 4 - “The Calm Before the Hymn”

"Then let's make a deal, Ms. Lisa. Let's meet at the Goth Hotel's Restaurant tomorrow morning. I think we'll have a pleasant day.——"

Kennath faced the two of them, and gently pressed his middle finger with the thumb of his right hand. Then the middle finger gently bounced up, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

""Cya~"

After saying that, he walked out the door without looking back, and Lynette followed him closely. After looking back at the leader Jean, who was also a anemo-type one-handed swordsman, she left while also closing the door of the room.

The door was closed, and now only Jean and Lisa were left in the acting leader's office.

"...It's a troubled time."

Jean couldn't help but sigh and put her hand on her forehead. Things have been going wrong in Mondstadt one after an another within small periods of time. She felt that she was a little mentally weak.

"Well, Jean, at least on the surface, this [Sage] has no hostility towards Mondstadt, which is a good thing... right?"

Lisa, Holding the guardrail, looked at Jean

"Even so, I still don't think his words are credible."

Jean shook her head.

"An Executive of the Fatui coming to Mondstadt, a place far away from the Snezhnaya , just to travel?"

"Jean, when I was in the Academy , I heard that the closer the seat of the Fatui executive is to the front, the higher the power and status in the Fatui will be."

A strange color flashed in Lisa's eyes.

"In people's opinion, the most powerful among the Fatui Harbingers should be [Jester] Pierro. To some extent, he should be on par with the Cyro Archon. And this, the Zeroth Seat, has a higher status than Pierro... I am very curious, how did the Tsaritsa convince him to join the Fatui?"

"I don't know, but according to what you said, he may really not have any mission and is really here to Mondstadt for tourism?"

"Maybe, after all, we have hardly seen the [Jester] do any work outside Snezhnaya, let alone The [Sage] whose status was higher than his. But Jean, there is one more thing."

Lisa narrowed her eyes.

"The seats of the Fatui are also linked to strength. It is said that the strength of the top three seats is comparable to that of gods.

"Are you saying that his strength is comparable to that of gods, or even above the Seven Gods?"

"This is just my personal guess, and there is no actual evidence to prove it. However, if it is true, then if he wants to do something to Mondstadt, Mondstadt will have no way to resist him, unless..."

"Unless Lord Barbatos takes action or the Hexenzirkel helps us as in agreement they have with Grandmaster Varka

"Yeah."

Jean looked at the cup of black tea on the table that had only been touched a little bit.

"..."

"Anyway, let's take it one step at a time, after all, we don't have a better way at the moment."

"Good"

"Lynette, try this dress."

Walking on the streets of Mond, I saw a clothing store on the side of the road. After taking a look at Lynette who was always wearing the same clothes, Kennath chose to go to the store to buy some clothes for Lynette.

Pure style, pure desire style, cute style, mature style... All kinds of clothes were being tried on Lynette. She was like a clothes rack in a dressing game, constantly dressing and undressing.

"..."

Lynette had no objection to this.

It was just buying clothes. Besides, shopping is a girl's nature. What do you think of buying a few clothes, especially clothes bought for you by your boss? You don't have to pay for it.

"Hmm... Not bad, not bad. Let's pack these things up. This trip to Mondstadt is considered a small gain."

After packing about five or six pieces, Kennath walked out of the clothing store with Lynette, who had a lot of gains, and returned to the street with satisfaction.

Well, the bill will be sent to the Goth Hotel and paid by the Fatui.

"..."

After buying so many new clothes, Lynette had a smile on her face, but then, as if she suddenly felt something, the smile disappeared.

"Sir, someone is following us."

Silently putting all the shopping bags in her hand into the Her Vision, Lynette took out the Yanrui Sword Wolf Smoke given by Kennath and kept alert.

"I know, we don't need to care so much, as long as the other party doesn't attack us, then ignore her."

Kennath looked at a mirror not far away, in which a small alley behind him was reflected.

The corners of his mouth curled up.

"But, sir..."

Lynette was a little confused.

They hadn't done anything, just traveled normally and bought some clothes, but they were followed by a mysterious person. If it were anyone else, even an Harbinger, anyone with a temper would have found the person behind them and vent their anger.

"Lynette, you know that our Fatui don't have a very good reputation in Mondstadt.

Kennath shrugged indifferently.

"After all, in the eyes of the Mondstadt people, we are definitely outsiders who have oppressed Mondstadt in its times of difficulty. It is good enough that they did not directly attack us and drive us out."

"..."

"Therefore, let the lady behind me follow me if she wants to. After all, I am an Harbinger. If the Knights of Favonius really let me run rampant in Mondstadt, I would question how they manage Mondstadt."

"...Yes, your will."

Lynette opened her mouth, but finally put away the sword, but still maintained a vigilant attitude.

"All right, let's go back. We've already said hello to the Knights of Favonius, bought some clothes, and gone shopping. As long as we wait until tomorrow, the story will begin. By then, we just need to witness it."

"Yes"

——

"Come on, traveler! At this rate, we can reach Mondstadt tomorrow!"

The blonde girl and the white floating food beside her continued to move forward in the suburbs of Mondstadt.

The girl was wearing a white dress with blue lace, holding a dull sword in her hand, and sat down on the side of the road with a tired look.

"Traveler, are you tired?"

Paimon looked at Lumine who looked tired and asked with some concern.

"Well... after all, we just walked for such a long distance, why don't we take a rest first?"

"Well..."

Lumine sat down by the road to rest, her words revealing a maturity that did not match her appearance.

Paimon looked left and right, then flew to the tree, picked a few sunsettia fruits, and gave half of them to Lumine.

"Let's eat some sunsettia fruits first, um... it's almost evening, let's take a rest, and then we'll make dinner!"

"good."
