"Your friend still seems to be sleeping, just like Paimon."
After waiting for Kaito a bit longer and still seeing no one, Lumine said this. If he still wasn't awake by now, he was clearly as lazy as Paimon.
"Maybe he's still drunk and hasn't sobered up yet."
Although Kaito knew what Venti was doing, he could only pretend not to know. After all, he was right here; how could he know what was happening elsewhere?
"Well, it's getting late. Paimon and I need to go do some commissions."
Looking up at the sky, Lumine felt it was getting late and it was time to work. But before that, she had to go back and see if Paimon was awake. Of course, if Paimon still wasn't awake by then, she'd have to resort to physical wake-up methods.
With that, Lumine stood up.
"No problem. If you ever run out of Mora, you can tell me."
Hearing Lumine say she was going to do commissions, Kaito, also standing up, offered that she could tell him if she ran out of Mora.
Kaito could somewhat relate to Lumine's current situation. If Wendy's strength was great, he, new to this foreign world, would truly be stumped by a single coin.
"Okay, I'll be going then, Kaito. See you next time."
"See you next time."
After bidding farewell to Kaito, Lumine walked towards her residence.
Hope the mission can be completed...
After Lumine left, Kaito, who had sat back down, suddenly thought this.
Because Venti was about to appear at Stormterror's Lair, Wendy, also there, could only try first to see if she could complete the mission. If she could complete the mission this time, then essentially one more mission would fill the progress bar to 100%. In that case, he could do anything with Wendy, not just superficially.
And as Kaito was dreaming of the future, Lumine, on her way back, was worrying about something.
Sigh... I wish I were as rich as Kaito...
Although she didn't know exactly how rich Kaito was, judging by the fact that she never saw him take commissions or go to work, he was clearly very wealthy. Especially since he even had an Anemo Archon as a girlfriend, he truly had no worries about food or drink.
Oh right... all the previous commissions are done...
Let's go see if there are any new commissions...
Suddenly remembering all her previously accepted commissions were done, Lumine decided to go to the commission reception area to check the situation, and then go back to check on Paimon.
A little later.
"Good morning, Lumine."
Seeing the Traveler walk towards her, Katheryne greeted her. She was quite familiar with this Traveler from another place.
"Good morning, Katheryne. Are there any commissions with better rewards today?"
Waving at Katheryne behind the counter, Lumine directly asked if there were any commissions with better rewards. It was still early; commissions with high rewards should still be available.
"There's one for twenty thousand Mora. Do you want it?"
Almost blurting it out, Katheryne quickly answered Lumine's question.
"Yes! Are there any others with high rewards?"
Nodding quickly to indicate she wanted it, Lumine continued to ask if there were more. She was still quite short on Mora now; she had to work hard.
"There's another one for ten thousand, and the rest are lower," Katheryne replied quickly again.
"I'll take the ten thousand one too. I'll check the others later."
After thinking, Lumine decided to accept these two commissions with better rewards first and not take the others for now.
"No problem, please wait a moment."
Can they please not post commissions that are only a few thousand [Mora]...? The rewards are so little it's not even worth doing...
While waiting, Lumine couldn't help but complain about the low-priced commissions. Of course, if there genuinely weren't any high-reward commissions, she would have no choice but to take the low-reward ones. As the saying goes, "many a little makes a mickle," that's probably how it is. But those commissions require going here and there, which is very troublesome.
"It's done. I hope you can complete the commissions quickly."
"Of course, I'll finish them quickly. I'll be going now."
Nodding, Lumine, having accepted the commissions, began walking towards her residence. Once she got back and brought Paimon, she would have to complete the two commissions she had just accepted.

Stormterror's Lair.
"Fine... Since you still wish to protect Mondstadt, then let me show you my new power first."
Under Dvalin's gaze, Wendy seemed to lose patience, preparing to act against it. And as Wendy's words fell, the power emanating from her instantly intensified.
This power, even more terrifying than the Abyss... Where does it come from...?
Feeling that extremely terrifying power, Dvalin couldn't help but wonder. It even thought that Barbatos had undergone such a drastic change because of this terrifying power.
"Do you even wish to destroy Mondstadt?"
After a moment of silence, Dvalin slowly said this.
It knew it would surely die, as the difference in power between them was so immense. It just wanted to know one thing: whether Barbatos intended to destroy even Mondstadt. Previously, its attitude towards Mondstadt was still hesitant, but now Barbatos seemed to want to utterly destroy Mondstadt. Mondstadt was different for it than for Barbatos; it truly found it hard to believe such a thing would happen.
However, just after Dvalin asked the question, the "Barbatos" in front suddenly made no further moves.
So, just scaring Dvalin was enough...
Under Dvalin's surprised and uncertain gaze, Wendy suddenly thought this. Now, she had already completed the mission.
[How much progress was added this time? Just tell me that.]
Facing the system's activation this time, Wendy directly stated that it just needed to tell her the added progress; that's all she cared about now.
[Sixteen percent, Host.]
16%? That means... only 13% remaining... Then completing the next mission should be enough to fill it...
After thinking for a moment, Wendy realized only 13% progress remained until full. If the next mission wasn't too simple, completing it once more would fill the progress bar.
[What's the next mission then?]
