Kaeya's Story Quest concluded, and most people were quite satisfied with the ending.
The Knights of Favonius resolved the Treasure Hoarders' issue, the Traveler received a Reward and a good sword, and everyone had a bright future.
A world where no one was harmed was achieved, except for the Treasure Hoarders, who all ended up in prison.
"This Kaeya fellow is truly devious! He's a Knight, yet he schemes against others like this," said one of the Treasure Hoarders.
"It's fine, but now that we know his plan, of course we won't fall for it again," said the Treasure Hoarders' boss.
"So, boss, what do we do next?"
"Since we already know the Knights of Favonius are setting a trap for us, we'll seize the opportunity to pull off a big job before their trap is fully set, then move to a different location."
Meanwhile, at Angel's Share.
"Your scheme has been exposed. What do you plan to do now?" Diluc asked after finishing his reading.
"Just as the book says, I won't use the same trick twice."
"Since the plan to use the Traveler has been exposed, I'll just have to use a different one."
Kaeya smiled nonchalantly; the Treasure Hoarders' problem didn't just appear after the Traveler arrived.
He already had other plans, he just thought using the Traveler would be more interesting.
"If my guess is correct, the Treasure Hoarders must be eager to pull off a big job and then escape, so I just need to turn their scheme against them."
"How will you turn their scheme against them?" Even Venti became interested and asked.
Kaeya said mysteriously:
"In fact, the several ruins that have been rumored recently were all released by people I sent."
"And these ruins I fabricated vary in size. I guess the Treasure Hoarders will choose the largest one, and then I can catch them all in one net."
"Why are you so sure?" Diluc asked.
Kaeya spread his hands. You might not feel it if you have money, but maintaining an organization with so many people is very expensive.
If they don't pull off a big job before leaving, how would they have enough money for so many people to relocate?
The Treasure Hoarders might have a little money on hand, enough when combined.
But how could they be united enough to use their own money to overcome difficulties?
And how could the Treasure Hoarders' boss bear to see the power he worked so hard to build up just disband like that?
In the end, it's nothing more than a desperate gamble, hoping to make a fortune before the future scheme in the book is completed.
It's just a pity; I've already set the trap.
"Perhaps it's because bad people understand bad people better," Kaeya explained with a smile.
"..." Diluc didn't answer; he was thinking.
He didn't understand why at first because he was too wealthy.
Many times, he would unconsciously overlook the role and impact of money.
But Diluc was very smart; he initially overlooked this point but quickly realized it.
Venti nodded thoughtfully. He wasn't acknowledging Kaeya as a bad person, but rather he also thought of the 'money' problem.
Anyway, if he, Venti, wasn't continuously provided with fine wine on the road, he wouldn't go anywhere.
Calculated this way, even for him alone to relocate would cost a lot of money.
Everyone stopped dwelling on the Treasure Hoarders' problem and continued reading the book in their hands.
This time, unlike usual, the author wrote three chapters of the story in one go; Kaeya's story was only one-third of it.
Everyone began reading the second story, 'The Little Rabbit's Chapter: Wind, Courage, and Wings'!
["Traveler, you don't have a Wind Glider license yet, do you?" Amber said.]
Amber appeared at the very beginning of the story.
Based on the experience from the previous story, everyone realized that this story's protagonist was Amber.
"Eh!? I'm the protagonist? Is this real or fake?" Amber was stunned.
She didn't expect to have a day when she would become the protagonist.
After all, she was just a small Outrider; Kaeya was at least a Captain.
"Hmm~, I hope I don't embarrass myself!"
Unlike Amber's own nervousness, Eula, who was also reading this section, could be said to be extremely happy.
"Hmph, she didn't join me. I'll remember this grudge!"
Another person who was also very happy was Collei.
"Amber, hehe, it's great to see you in the book," Collei smiled radiantly.
Sumeru currently doesn't have a formal sales location.
But the story takes place in Mondstadt, and Amber is in it, so how could Collei not pay attention?
What's more, her mentor Tighnari is also very interested in the stories in the book.
Wherever there's a market, there's Dori.
More and more people in Sumeru are becoming interested in this book, but the Akademiya is unconcerned and has no intention of importing it.
Then Dori would make a killing! It's sold for more than in other countries, but it's still in short supply!
So far, only Inazuma people haven't seen this story.
They had only just learned about the Stormterror incident due to Beidou, and only had a few hundred copies of the first chapter of 'teyvat travelogue'.
They were several beats behind everyone else.
Even the well-informed Yashiro Commission couldn't do anything.
Book transportation also takes time; they just couldn't get their hands on the first batch.
However, there was also good news: Yae Publishing House decided to import Qiu Cheng's works.
As the Raiden Shogun's only remaining confidante, Yingbao turned a blind eye to Yae Miko's actions.
Logically, importing foreign works should not be allowed.
But who could refuse when it was you importing it? It's just one book; it surely wouldn't disrupt [eternity].
It's estimated that Inazuma will be able to simultaneously release the next chapters of 'teyvat travelogue' and 'love and teyvat'.
"Little author, don't disappoint me. You must write Inazuma's story well and make Ei change her mind."
Yae Miko read the book in her hand with a beaming smile.
She was holding the first chapter of 'teyvat travelogue', which Beidou had just sent over not long ago.
"And this little fellow, if he could come to Inazuma, he might be an existence capable of influencing [eternity] as well."
Yae Miko noticed the Traveler.
Ignoring the slow-to-react Inazuma people, everyone else was currently reading the newly released 'love and teyvat'.
Let's return to our [Little Rabbit's Chapter].
In the story, Amber stated that although she gave the Wind Glider to the other party.
However, one must have a flight license to legally fly in Mondstadt.
She came here specifically to supervise the Traveler's flight license examination.
"Amber supervising the flight license examination? Is this real or fake?"
Countless Mondstadters voiced the same doubt at this moment.
Let Amber, who constantly violates flight rules and has her flight license revoked, supervise the flight license examination?
Isn't that a bit absurd?
But thinking about it, Amber has taken the test so many times; as the saying goes, 'long illness makes a good doctor'.
Perhaps letting her supervise the exam might actually be quite good.
["After all, I'm the one who gave you the Wind Glider. I have to take responsibility—Acting Grand Master Jean would definitely say that."]
Acting Grand Master Jean was embarrassed. While I might indeed say that, I think I would have someone else be responsible.
It's not that Acting Grand Master Jean doesn't trust Amber; she just worries that Amber would teach the Traveler to become a second Amber.
She didn't want another Knight reported by the public; there were already enough complaint letters!
