[He's here, he's here, that man has finally returned!]
[Don't say more; just for the welfare Mu Yang gives, I wish he appeared every version]
[Starts with ten pulls at minimum, who wouldn't love that?]
[Usually it's one weapon, but this time the preview said a whole set, series weapons]
[Damn, I feel like new players next version will cry; losing five limited-edition weapons at once]
"Mu Yang?" Sucrose had heard this name.
But at that time, the two weren't on the same battlefield.
Mu Yang was at the main gate, she was at the side gate.
By the time the battle ended, Mu Yang had disappeared somewhere.
So Sucrose only knew the name but hadn't seen the person.
"Isn't that person from Liyue?"
Lumine asked, "Could it be that Sucrose's plan only includes Mondstadt people?"
Sucrose quickly waved her hands, "No, that's not it; if someone is willing to help, that's naturally good. But has Mr. Mu Yang also come to Mondstadt?"
With Sucrose pointing it out like that, Lumine also felt a bit puzzled.
Although Mu Yang didn't have the title of Honorary Knight, he was well-known in Mondstadt.
He even had close cooperation with Diluc's winery.
It was impossible for him to come to Mondstadt without Sucrose knowing.
She turned and asked Miss Katheryne.
Katheryne shook her head; indeed, there was no news of Mr. Mu Yang entering the city.
Lumine pondered for a moment and finally figured it out.
She had teleported directly here after learning Mu Yang was in Mondstadt.
She had no idea how many days ago Mu Yang had left.
Moreover, Mu Yang and the others were on vacation; traveling leisurely with stops along the way was normal.
"Then there's no way; we can only think if there's anyone else who needs help."
Paimon shrugged, "Actually, even if Mu Yang were here, Sucrose's commission probably couldn't be completed, right?"
Lumine thought about it, "Yeah, it seems like we've never heard of Mu Yang needing help from others..."
[Mu Yang helps you all, though]
[What? Isn't Mu Yang the type to go wherever he's needed?]
[Hard to imagine Mu Yang needing help from others]
[Even if something happens, he handles it himself...]
[The one above suddenly knifed me, why]
Since Mu Yang hadn't arrived in Mondstadt yet, let's focus on helping Sucrose first.
Lumine thought this way.
Suddenly, her train of thought was interrupted by Miss Marjorie from afar.
"Miss Sucrose, could you come over? A package just arrived for you—"
"Ah, okay." Sucrose responded, then turned to Lumine and said sorry.
She ran over to pick up the package happily.
Marjorie's shout also attracted Paimon.
With her sharp eyes, she seemed to spot a familiar figure.
"Eh, am I seeing wrong? That back—is that Collei? When did Collei come to Mondstadt?"
Lumine looked in the direction she pointed and indeed saw a familiar figure lingering by the small fountain.
"Let's go say hi to her; maybe she can help Sucrose too."
"Yeah yeah, let's do that."
The two came to the small fountain opposite the Good Hunter restaurant.
Lumine suddenly wanted to play a prank.
She covered Collei's eyes from behind with her hands.
"Guess who?"
"This voice—it's Lumine, no doubt."
Paimon giggled, "Correct, it's us."
Collei turned around, "What a coincidence."
This expression, this tone—even Paimon could tell something was wrong.
Let alone Lumine.
"Did Collei run into some trouble?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Collei shook her head slightly, seeming unwilling to say it outright.
Then, she changed the topic.
"Just now, in the souvenir shop over there, I picked a Mondstadt fairy tale book."
"I flipped through it casually and unexpectedly found a note clipped inside; it looked mysterious, like a prophecy."
Lumine took it and looked:
[As long as these can be completed, the Lamp of Bliss can be lit, thereby obtaining supreme blessings]
"Find a flower that doesn't exist in the world, find a guide who never gets lost, find a person who never lies, find a legend that never ends."
[Crystal flower, fairy Ellie, Elysia, Fire Moth's unfinished journey (doge)]
[A person who never lies: Mu Yang (instant answer)]
[Isn't it the flower on little sister's head?]
[Guide: Dainsleif?]
[Dainsleif aside; I don't know if he gets lost, but following his words makes me easily lost]
[Collei is great; she can read so many words]
After reading it, Lumine was at a loss.
These things were too profound; no clues for now.
"Did you ask the shop owner?"
"I did, but she doesn't know about the note either."
At this time, Sucrose, who had received her package, walked over.
"Hello... may I ask, what's the name of the fairy tale book?"
Collei was a bit shy, but thinking Lumine was still beside her.
She calmed down a bit and answered, "It's called "The Boar Princess"."
Sucrose began analyzing.
She had also read "The Boar Princess".
But there was no content about these things in it.
This meant the note had no connection to the story itself.
Seeing the other enter deduction mode on her own.
Collei quietly asked, "Is she someone you know?"
Paimon smiled and introduced, "This is Sucrose, an alchemist with the Knights of Favonius."
Only then did Sucrose realize she had been a bit abrupt earlier.
"Hello, I'm Sucrose."
Paimon introduced Collei again.
The two introverted little cuties thus got acquainted.
But it was limited to 'hello'.
After that, no more topics...
In the end, it was Collei who mustered courage first and opened the conversation.
"Miss Sucrose, do you think this prophecy... could be real?"
Sucrose didn't dare look into Collei's eyes.
"I... I lack research on it, so I can't give a well-reasoned inference."
"But if you're willing to hear my subjective judgment, I think it's not just a prank."
Lumine countered, "How can you tell?"
Sucrose believed that only people with childlike innocence and poetic hearts would flip through fairy tales.
The person who left the prophecy likely understood this too.
Using lies to destroy this purity would be too cruel.
The few of them chatted about this prophecy.
Just then, a fiery red figure burst in from the side.
It was Amber.
Upon seeing Amber, Collei instantly shed her previous fatigue.
Even her speaking tone rose a lot.
[Lumine: Misplaced trust, family]
[This is the destructive power of white moonlight]
[Someone's stealing home; what is Eula doing? Oh, she hasn't rerun yet, then it's fine]
[A bit hellish haha]
Seeing Lumine and Paimon's surprised expressions, Collei then talked about the past.
A long time ago, she received a lot of help from many people in Mondstadt City.
So after her scaly disease was cured, she wanted to find a chance to return to Mondstadt.
To personally share the good news with everyone.
Amber was thinking of first taking Collei around, but Collei said she had to wait for Master Tighnari and Mr. Cyno first.
"Tighnari and Cyno came too?"
"Yes, they should have arrived by now."
At this moment, at the city gate.
The Grand Master of Discipline began performing his talent, starting with a large windmill.
"Seeing a large windmill again, so nostalgic."
Tighnari relaxed a bit, thinking it was normal chat.
"Understandable; it's been a long time since your last visit to Mondstadt."
Who knew Cyno would zero-frame setup.
"No, think about it: a windmill should count as a kind of [Grand Anemo Mechanism], right."
Tighnari: ...
