Skirk narrowed her eyes in happiness, feasting away with complete disregard for her image.
Abyssal Power, system missions, cool experts…
in the face of gourmet food, they were all just passing clouds!
Look at how this ‘hanbao’ is made, is it okay?!
It’s O-K!
[Ding!
Detected that the host is immersively enjoying Teyvat cuisine!
‘Abyssal Stomach’ achievement progress +1!
(๑´ڡ`๑)]
The system made its presence known at the right time.
Skirk:
“…Go eat your data!”
Complaining internally, she stabbed a large piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth.
Amber indeed returned very quickly.
As soon as he walked into Good Hunter, he saw Skirk working hard over her plate, her cheeks puffed out like a little squirrel diligently hoarding food.
He couldn’t help but laugh out loud, walking over to sit opposite her:
“Eat slowly, no one is going to take it from you.”
The two enjoyed their dinner pleasantly.
Skirk also had nothing but praise for the Pile ‘Em Up.
Once upon a time, her Diluc had made dozens or even hundreds of ‘Once Upon a Time in Mondstadt’ (Master Diluc’s Specialty) by the pot next to the restaurant, and the base dish for it was Pile ‘Em Up.
Fortunately, the Diluc here didn’t have that memory, otherwise…
“Haa!”
The difficult-to-stomach voice of [The Man of Justice-E] echoed in her mind.
After the meal, Amber took Skirk to the Knights of Favonius Headquarters.
The Knights of Favonius Headquarters was solemn and dignified, forming a sharp contrast with the bustling streets outside.
In Acting Grand Master Jean’s concise and efficient office, Skirk once again utilized her ‘amnesia’ tactic.
Jean, this heroic and steady Acting Grand Master, carefully inquired about the circumstances of Amber bringing her back.
(Omitting certain details)
She then observed Skirk—
The latter was trying hard to maintain an ‘I dunno, she said to come so I came’ expression, though her gaze was a bit blurry because she was sleepy from being so full.
“I understand the situation, Miss Skirk.”
Jean’s voice was gentle but carried authority.
“Until your identity is clarified and your memory is restored, Mondstadt will provide you with protection.
Amber, I’ll have to trouble you to look after this guest for the time being.”
“Yes!
Acting Grand Master Jean!
I guarantee the mission will be completed!”
Amber stood at attention and saluted, answering crisply.
He turned and winked at Skirk.
“Let’s go, stay at my place for now!
It’s not big, but it’s clean!”
Skirk, naturally, couldn’t ask for more and nodded repeatedly.
“Thank you, Acting Grand Master Jean!
Thank you, Amber!”
…
As the night deepened, the lights of Mondstadt were like stars on the ground.
The Captain of the Knights of Favonius Reconnaissance Company, the Spindrift Knight Eula Lawrence, had just finished a full day of patrol duty on the outskirts of Dragonspine.
She rubbed her slightly aching shoulders, her ice-blue eyes carrying a hint of imperceptible fatigue, but more so a sense of relaxation after fulfilling her duties.
She habitually walked toward Amber’s house.
Amber had returned a day later than scheduled.
Although she knew that energetic Outrider was quite strong, as his best friend, Eula still felt a bit worried.
She hadn’t waited for him to return yesterday, so she had to go check today no matter what.
For some reason, as she walked along the familiar streets, a hint of…
an ominous premonition inexplicably lingered in Eula’s heart?
She shook her head, trying to shake off this absurd feeling.
“I’m probably just tired from the patrol.”
She thought to herself.
Soon, Amber’s cozy little house with a small attic, located in the residential area of Mondstadt, appeared before her eyes.
A warm light shone from the window; it seemed the person was already back.
The corners of Eula’s mouth curled up slightly.
She tidied her sky-blue hair that had been ruffled by the night wind and was about to step forward and knock on the door.
Suddenly…
“You’ve seen all my secrets!”
Amber’s voice.
Eula: “!??”
No longer caring about anything else, she slammed the door open!
Her gaze first fell upon Amber in his pajamas in the bedroom.
Immediately after, skipping past Amber, she zero-frame locked onto the strange figure behind him!
It was a silver-haired girl Eula had never seen before.
Their eyes met.
The smile on Eula’s face instantly froze.
Her ice-blue pupils suddenly constricted!
Looking at this strange silver-haired beauty wearing Amber’s pajamas, her brain was like a Frozen lake, instantly becoming a complete blank!
There’s…
someone else in Amber’s house?
And a…
girl?
…
Wearing his pajamas?!!
She opened her mouth but found she couldn’t make a sound.
In the end, a thousand words only turned into a cry filled with disbelief and massive shock:
—!!!
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
