The world of Mondstadt suddenly felt so small.
Mainly, Alex was driving his car, and he had almost circled Mondstadt completely.
Naturally, near the wilds of Springvale, he saw the Traveler Lumine and Paimon.
He watched Lumine, holding her skyward ak, frantically kiting and battling an army of Hilichurls.
You're saying no one was tanking the monsters in the front row? Please, three Starfell Swords were enough.
Lumine even displayed superb marksmanship, directly shooting into the Starfell Swords.
Bullets continuously pierced through the gaps of the Starfell Swords, hitting the Hilichurls on the other side of the Starfell Swords.
Alex was utterly speechless.
This Traveler, didn't she particularly like to directly confront enemies with her dull blade?
How could it be that just because he casually gave her a gun, her fighting style completely changed!
However, Lumine fighting with a gun was indeed very cool.
It would be even more perfect if he could get her grenades, smoke bombs, flashbangs, and the like later.
A cloud of smoke dissipated, revealing a scene filled with dismembered Hilichurl limbs and their riddled bodies.
Alex came to Lumine's side, marveling at the surrounding scene.
Before long, the gruesome remains of the Hilichurls all turned into black ash and vanished, leaving only traces of the battle.
"Good morning, Alex," Lumine greeted, with Paimon following suit.
"Morning, Lumine and Paimon," Alex politely replied.
"Good morning~" Paimon flew up to Alex's eye level and waved.
"This is…" Alex looked around again.
"Nothing, just a small roadside commission," Lumine said, shrugging her hands, indicating it was insignificant.
"Oh, oh, speaking of which, this is quite close to Springvale. How about we go today… huh???" Alex was thinking of going to Springvale with Lumine, but he stopped halfway through his sentence.
Suddenly, he saw a crow flying from a distance.
This crow was purple!!
"It's Oz!" Alex whispered, his voice filled with surprise.
"?" Lumine and Paimon were both curious; what did this person mean by suddenly saying Oz?
Having only been in Mondstadt for a few days, Alex hadn't seen many familiar characters yet.
But today, he had the chance to see one of them!
It was Little Amy!
"Prinzessin der Verurteilung! Fischl!" Alex directly shouted towards Oz in the distance.
The purple crow named Oz paused in mid-air.
Its gaze lingered in Alex's direction for a moment, then it turned back with even greater speed.
Soon, a golden-haired Damselette with twin pigtails, surrounded by electro energy, rapidly approached with the speed of lightning.
The Damselette appeared before the three, instantly placing her right hand over her left, striking a cool pose: "Ahahaha. Who is it? Who devoutly calls upon My true name in this place!"
"Uh." Lumine looked at the Damselette who had appeared before them, a little speechless. Why did she feel a bit… hmm, what was that word, she had forgotten it for a moment.
"She means, hello. Do you need any assistance?" Oz, beside her, spoke up.
"Ah! This crow can talk?!" Paimon clasped her hands to her chest, looking scared, then her eyes widened as she stared at Oz.
"Haha, why be surprised by such a trifle, my friend." Oz merely chuckled casually.
Fischl saw the traces of battle around them and seemed to understand something, a slight smile on her face: "My loyal subjects, seeing your worried expressions, surely those sinful evildoers have once again attempted to encroach upon Mondstadt's tranquility."
Alright, he understood Fischl, but this was Lumine's first time meeting her.
Seeing Lumine looking at him with a bewildered expression, Alex spread his hands and introduced: "Alright, this is our Traveler, and also an Honorary Knight of our Knights of Favonius, and the one floating beside her is Paimon. And these two are Fischl and Oz."
Fischl put her hands on her hips, a look of appreciation on her face as she looked at Lumine: "Oh, so it is she? Hmph… good eyes."
Fischl then looked at Alex: "And who might you be?"
"My name is Alex, you can call me Alex." Alex introduced himself.
"The two Honorary Knights of the Knights of Favonius and their companion Paimon. I've heard much about you, it's a pleasure to meet the three of you." Oz flew beside her, his voice deep.
Oh right! If Oz hadn't mentioned two Honorary Knights, Alex would have almost forgotten that he was also an Honorary Knight.
Although Alex had briefly introduced them earlier, he should formally introduce himself to the three, so Fischl placed her hand on her chest and said: "I am the Prinzessin der Verurteilung, my true name is Fischl. I have descended here by the call of destiny."
Oz beside her also introduced: "This is my mistress, Prinzessin Fischl, who hails from the otherworld, Immernachtreich. I am her familiar, the night raven, Oz."
Paimon pointed to the two beside her: "Hey, I didn't expect Fischl to be from another world, what a coincidence. These two are also from other worlds beyond Teyvat."
"Cough, ugh, uh." Fischl suddenly choked on her saliva at this moment because she was startled. Who would have thought she would actually meet people from another world one day, and two at once?
Lumine and Alex's otherworld, truly real! Fischl's otherworld, truly… fake!
Of course, only Alex knew this. Whether Lumine and Paimon believed Fischl was from another world was their business, but with a little more interaction, Fischl would be exposed!
Fischl quickly adjusted her demeanor and said: "Oh… are you also Travelers from another world? Very well then, this Prinzessin grants you permission to accompany me."
"She means: Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Oz continued to translate beside her.
"Fischl, why are you here too?" Alex asked, puzzled.
Lumine and Paimon beside him also looked at Fischl.
Fischl spread her hands, saying with a resounding tone: "The Bell of Triumph shall ring! The Hour of Judgment has arrived! Praise be! Those who call for salvation, for the 'Prinzessin der Verurteilung' has descended upon this place!"
Oz said: "My mistress means that she also heard cries for help earlier. But when we arrived here, we found that the Traveler had already solved the problem."
Paimon didn't understand, she just felt that her words were full of vigor: "This Prinzessin is so energetic!"
Fischl placed one hand on her hip, her head tilted back, looking down at Lumine with a condescending air: "Mortal, this Prinzessin grants you exemption from formalities, tell me what transpired here."
Lumine helplessly held her head, she remembered! That word was "chuunibyou." She hadn't seen such a person in many, many years… and surprisingly, she missed it.
Afterwards, Fischl and Lumine exchanged many dialogues explaining what had happened, and Alex found it quite amusing to watch and listen.
It was just that listening to it too much was quite brain-draining!
It was a good thing Fischl had a translator beside her, otherwise, who would understand her?
Listening to Fischl, who was still spouting chuunibyou remarks, from the side.
Alex raised his hand, stopping Fischl, and simultaneously said: "Teacher Ma, don't be like this, Teacher Ma!"
This sentence made everyone present look utterly bewildered.
