She paused and, mimicking Amber’s tone, added playfully,
“It’s my honor to have dinner with Mondstadt’s Spindrift Knight and the Gliding Champion!”
Amber nodded vigorously from the side:
“Exactly!
Eula is a super good person!
We’ll be friends from now on!”
Hearing the word ‘friends,’ Eula’s ice-blue eyes lit up slightly, then returned to her signature, slightly tsundere tone:
“Hmph, since you both put it that way…
fine then.
However, Miss Skirk,”
She looked at Skirk, the corners of her mouth curling into a subtle arc,
“The fact that you wore Amber’s pajamas and even secretly slept with Amber…
I will have my vengeance for this.”
“Pfft…”
Amber couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Skirk’s face turned red instantly, but this time it wasn’t from shame, but from being amused by Eula’s unique way of ‘holding a grudge.’
She knew this represented Eula’s true acceptance.
“Hey!
Eula!”
Skirk also mimicked Amber’s tone, protesting with feigned annoyance,
“There’s no need to remember this kind of ‘grudge’!”
The three of them looked at each other and couldn’t help but laugh together.
The last trace of estrangement at the table completely dissipated in this laughter.
As the atmosphere relaxed, Amber asked curiously:
“By the way, Skirk, what are your plans next?
It’s no problem if you keep staying at my place!”
Skirk put down her water glass and said seriously:
“Thanks, Amber!
But I think it’s not a solution to keep troubling you.
I plan to go to the Adventurers Guild tomorrow and register to become an official Adventurer.”
“An Adventurer?”
Both Amber and Eula were somewhat surprised.
“Yeah!”
Skirk nodded,
“I have…
somewhat of an ability to protect myself now.
I want to take on some commissions; on one hand, I can earn some Mora and be self-reliant;
On the other hand, I also want to go out and see the world.
Maybe…
I’ll find clues to recover my memory during the journey?”
She found a reasonable excuse for herself, but what she was thinking about in her heart was the quest reward—that quest that was only 1/3 complete!
“[Ding!
This quest is a series quest ‘Echoes of the Abyss: Part I’.
Completing the follow-up quest ‘Echoes of the Abyss: Part II’ (0/1) will unlock the final reward: Usage rights for ‘Foul Legacy’ (Abyss-Specialized Hydro element Adaptation Version)!]”
Foul Legacy!!!
Skirk felt as if her heart had been struck hard by a Mitachurl’s club, almost jumping out of her throat!
The same kind as Dada-duck’s?!
Although she knew the system’s version might be an Abyss-modified one, that was Foul Legacy!
Many newbies look down on Foul Legacy, thinking it’s weak.
So…
“[Have you seen me in my prime?]”
That’s right, back when the game first launched, Childe’s difficulty was extremely high.
Coupled with the fact that characters at launch were generally fragile and not strong, he became a nightmare for many launch players!
Setting aside strength, the scene in that cutscene is the essence of Foul Legacy!
Childe smashed the floor in anger, causing the Golden House to collapse.
The Traveler fell down first, pushed away the stone slab pressing on them, and choked on some dust before seeing—
The purple cross-shaped light slowly descending from the sky, and then the true form of the Foul Legacy revealed as the dust cleared!
The sense of pressure and coolness in that scene was incomparable to many later weekly bosses!
Skirk felt the blood boiling in her whole body, and her eyes almost turned into the shape of Mora!
“Skirk?
What’s wrong?
Your face is suddenly so red?”
Amber asked with concern.
“Ah?
No, it’s nothing!”
Skirk snapped back to her senses, quickly suppressing the stormy waves in her heart, and forced herself to stay calm as she picked up her water glass and took a big gulp,
“I just…
got a little excited thinking about becoming an Adventurer!
Yes, excited!”
Eula He glanced at her thoughtfully.,He didn’t say anything..
After chatting for a while longer, the night grew deep.
The three of them stood up to say goodbye.
Eula escorted them to the hotel entrance.
“Amber, Miss Skirk,”
Eula nodded slightly, “Be careful on the road.
Miss Skirk, the Adventurers Guild is near the Fountain Plaza; it’s easy to find.
If you run into trouble…
you can find me anytime.”
She paused and added,
“Of course, this ‘trouble’ doesn’t include the time you peeked at Amber’s diary.”
“Eula!”
Amber and Skirk both protested with red faces.
The corners of Eula’s mouth curled up slightly as she left behind the words “I will have my vengeance for this,” then turned around.
Her sky-blue long hair traced a graceful arc in the night wind, and her figure soon merged into the Mondstadt night.
Then, Skirk turned and gazed at Amber gloomily.
“Hahaha…
that…”
Amber’s eyes were a bit wandering.
“Hmph!
It really was you who told her about this!”
…
Back at Amber’s cozy little house, after washing up, she changed into comfortable pajamas and lay on that small bed that smelled of sunlight.
Skirk looked at the ceiling, feeling as if this day had passed like a dream.
But an otherworldly life should be like this.
“Adventurers Guild…
I’m going tomorrow!”
She clenched her small fist, full of expectation for the future (of getting a new toy).
Skirk put her hand down, and the room became quiet.
Looking at Amber, whose chest was rising and falling peacefully with the sound of steady breathing beside her, an indescribable feeling couldn’t help but grow in her heart.
If she hadn’t met Amber, who knows how she would have been sleeping outdoors?
How could she have such a comfortable life now!
Thinking of this, Skirk moved her body, inching closer to Amber, who had her back to her.
Then she gently reached out, wrapped her arms around Amber’s body, and slowly hugged her.
Soft and warm.
So comfortable…
The person in her arms trembled imperceptibly.
But Skirk didn’t notice.
She also didn’t notice that on Amber’s exquisite sleeping face, as she lay with her back turned,
A sweet smile quietly appeared.
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!”
