Being a Medic Will Not Save Mondstadt!
Knights of Favonius Headquarters.
Knock, knock, knock!
The sound of a hurried knock echoed on the door.
Even though Master Jean was focused on reading the documents in her hands, she still answered calmly, “Come in.” An ordinary knight entered, trying hard to contain his enthusiasm as he delivered his report.
“Reporting, Master Jean!” “All the monsters in the Temple of the Lion have been successfully eradicated!” Jean was slightly surprised.
This fast?
Did they really clear out the Eastern Lion Temple in such a short amount of time?
“Did you guys work together with the Traveler to eradicate those monsters?” Jean asked proudly.
“The speed of the clearing operation this time was truly extraordinary, you knights deserve a commendation!” However, the knight actually shook his head awkwardly.
“Actually…
we didn’t do anything at all.” “When the Traveler’s group first arrived, the knight squad assigned to guard the Temple of the Lion was in critical condition and had suffered many casualties.” “We had absolutely no energy left to accompany or assist the Traveler in entering the temple.” “Basically…
all the remaining monsters inside the temple were cleared purely by the Traveler, Miss Barbara, and…
the little flying thing that follows him around.” Hearing the report, Jean was dumbfounded.
She knew perfectly well the level of Barbara’s combat abilities.
Although her sister was capable of defending herself in small-scale skirmishes, it was impossible for her to defeat that many monsters alone.
As for Paimon, no matter how you looked at it, she was just a tiny mascot.
That creature clearly possessed no combat capabilities whatsoever.
If that’s the case…
doesn’t that mean the Traveler basically slaughtered the entire monster horde all by himself?!
Jean already knew that the young man was incredibly strong.
However, she didn’t expect the gap in power between the elite knights of the Knights of Favonius and Aether to be this massive.
Kaeya, Amber, and Lisa had set out to clear the other three temples much earlier than Aether did.
The three of them were highly capable elite fighters.
Yet up until now, not a single one of them had managed to complete their temple clearing operations.
Meanwhile, the Traveler…
he literally eradicated an entire monster nest inside a temple all by himself, in just about two to three hours!
This combat speed and efficiency were truly beyond logic.
At that moment, the reporting knight seemed hesitant as he looked at Jean, who was deep in thought.
He looked conflicted, wondering whether he should deliver his next report or not.
Jean noticed the knight’s hesitation.
“Is there anything else to report?” The knight immediately recalled the Traveler’s status as the Most Affectionate Man in Teyvat.
Having just arrived in Mondstadt, the playboy had already flirted with Amber.
In the future, he even had the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles as his mistress.
What’s worse, he was even in a secret romantic relationship with Master Jean, the woman highly respected by all the knights!
And now…
even Master Jean’s younger sister, the pure Miss Barbara, couldn’t escape his clutches!
This is truly envy-inducing…
Uh, I mean, this absolutely cannot be tolerated!
the knight thought in annoyance.
Recalling the urging (and threats) from his fellow guard knights outside, he immediately clenched his jaw and spoke with firm resolve.
“M-Master Jean, I request permission to report this…” The knight then detailed the shocking incident they had witnessed: Miss Barbara was carried out by the Traveler in a princess carry, her face flushed bright red, panting heavily, and—most fatally—her holy deaconess outfit looked slightly torn and disheveled.
Hearing that report, Jean froze on the spot.
Her entire body turned to stone.
After a long pause to process the absurd information, a sudden surge of anger exploded in Jean’s chest.
Good!
Very good, Aether!
You truly deserve the title of the Most Affectionate Man in Teyvat!
You didn’t say a single word to me about the video, and now you’re making a move on my sister, Barbara?!
Two or three hours inside a hidden temple…
Who knows what Aether and Barbara did in there?!
But Jean knew very well what Barbara’s personality was like.
Her sister was a very shy girl who guarded her honor and held the sacred profession of a church nun.
Barbara had once told her that she planned to preserve her purity until she got married.
So, Jean was one hundred percent certain that Barbara wouldn’t carelessly do anything inappropriate.
But…
what if she was forced by the Traveler?
Jean immediately brushed off that dark thought.
Impossible.
Armed with her dating memories with Aether from the past, Jean knew the young man’s true character.
There was no way Aether would do something so crude and vile to a woman.
Then, if she wasn’t forced…
what exactly happened to Barbara?!
The more she thought about it, the more chaotic Jean’s mind became.
She decided the best course of action was to call Barbara and ask for an explanation directly.
Jean tried to calm herself down, then looked at the knight sternly.
“You are not allowed to carelessly spread these rumors before I ascertain the truth.” “Also…
call Barbara to my office right now.
I need to ask her something.” “Yes, Master Jean!” The knight saluted and immediately rushed off to summon Barbara.
Not long after, Barbara entered Jean’s office.
As soon as she realized that her sister had indeed changed her clothes, Jean’s body went numb again.
Her mind went blank.
“U-Umm…
Barbara…” Jean tried hard to keep her voice from trembling.
“Did…
did the Traveler do anything bad to you?” Barbara’s face instantly flushed bright red, and she hurriedly waved her hands in panic.
“No!
No!
He didn’t do anything to me at all!” Jean narrowed her eyes, intimidating her sister.
“Then, why did he have to carry you out of there?” Recalling that embarrassing incident, Barbara felt incredibly ashamed and helpless.
She then explained everything: that she ate a Snickers chocolate snack made by the Traveler, which for some reason caused her clothes to slowly tear apart for no apparent reason.
Because the snack was too delicious, she lost consciousness, and ultimately, Aether had to step in and rescue her by carrying her back.
After hearing her sister’s absurd explanation, Jean looked confused.
“Barbara…
no matter how you try to explain it…
saying that your clothes exploded and tore just because of a snack that was too delicious…
truly sounds like an incredibly nonsensical lie.” “As a rational woman, naturally I find it difficult to believe such a story, Barbara.
Please understand,” Jean said while rubbing her temples.
Barbara was well aware that a woman who was always serious like her sister would never believe such a miraculous thing just from hearing a story.
Fortunately, she had prepared for this possibility and brought a few bars of Snickers chocolate she had asked for from Aether.
Very carefully, Barbara offered the package of chocolate to Jean’s desk.
Before Jean could react, Barbara rushed to lock the office door and tightly closed all the window curtains, ensuring not a single person could peek inside.
Barbara’s face was already as red as an apple.
She spoke with a hesitant tone.
“Sister…
you’ll understand immediately after tasting this.” “But…
don’t blame me after you eat it.” “I am not responsible for the consequences!” Jean stared at the package of chocolate in her hand suspiciously.
She slowly unwrapped it and took a bite.
Not long after, the faint sounds of muffled moans and heavy panting from Jean could be heard coming from behind the locked office door.
Inside the room, a quiet conversation between the sisters took place.
“Barbara…
huff…
do you still have any of these snacks left?
The taste is…
truly incredibly exquisite…” “I only have a little bit left, Sister.
So I can only give you one.” “Ahem…
could you give me just one more?” “No!” Finally, the door opened, and Barbara stepped out of Master Jean’s office.
On the way back to the Cathedral, Barbara was reminded once again of the embarrassment she felt while in Aether’s arms today.
Her face slowly turned red again.
However, realizing that the handsome young man was her sister’s secret lover…
Barbara suddenly felt a little sad and suffocated for no apparent reason.
Her heart was in a complete mess…
The next day.
Aether served a plate of whole Sweet Madame (sweet roasted chicken) for Paimon’s breakfast.
This time, he intentionally controlled the effects of his ‘God-Tier Cooking Skills’.
He adjusted the level of deliciousness so that the dish would only taste ‘extremely delicious’ and satisfying for Paimon, without triggering the absurd clothing explosion and intoxication effects like yesterday.
Right as they were enjoying the meal…
