The group arrived at Mondstadt.
At this time, Mondstadt was much quieter than yesterday, with noticeably fewer people on the streets.
Amber was discussing the recent situation in Mondstadt with Lumine, and in her words, she held Acting Grand Master Jean in high regard.
"Didn't I say before that I had a gift for you? Come, let's go to a higher place!"
Paimon's eyes immediately lit up when she heard about the gift: "Do I get one too?"
"Paimon probably won't need this one."
Before Paimon could get sad, Amber continued: "But I can treat you to some delicious Sticky Honey Roast!"
"Wow, really?!"
Hearing about the delicious food, Paimon's inner foodie was activated, and she flew excitedly behind Lumine.
Ruola seized the opportunity to interject: "Lumine, after Amber's matter is settled, I also have a gift for you, and of course, Paimon too!"
Paimon flew over to Ruola, rubbing her hands together excitedly:
"Ruola, you're so nice! Can you tell Paimon what it is?"
When playing the game, Ruola really liked Paimon. Now seeing the little one so close, Ruola couldn't resist picking the little guy up and hugging her.
Paimon was startled at first, a little shy, but didn't resist.
Ruola only hugged her for a moment before letting go, putting her index finger to her lips and making a "Shhh!" gesture.
"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you! I guarantee it's something Paimon and the Traveler will like!"
"Thank you, Ruola."
Lumine hadn't expected the people of Mondstadt to be so kind— Ruola was, Noelle was, and Amber was too!
Little Noelle saw that Ruola and Amber had both given gifts, and she wanted to give one too, but she didn't seem to have anything good. She wondered if her things would be good enough for them, and for a moment, she was conflicted.
Ruola was sharp-eyed and noticed Noelle's small expression, immediately guessing her thoughts. She secretly patted her head.
This was indeed the kind of thought Noelle would have.
Ruola quickly went over and diverted Noelle's attention.
Amber led Lumine to a high place and took out her Wind Glider. Paimon, Ruola, and Noelle watched from behind.
"So it's a tool for flying with the wind? No wonder Amber said Paimon didn't need it, because Paimon can already fly!"

"Little Paimon is the best!"
"Hehe~"
Being praised, Paimon became a little embarrassed.
Ruola continued: "Once Lumine finishes learning how to use the Wind Glider, we'll go to the Good Hunter Restaurant for some delicious food!"
"Mm-hmm, delicious food!"
Noelle was quiet. Ruola put her hand on her shoulder and nodded at her.
Noelle gave a very beautiful smile.
Ahead, Lumine had already started her test flight with the Wind Glider.
At first, she was wobbly, but she quickly found her rhythm. After flying for a while, she didn't look like a beginner at all.
As expected of Lumine!
Lumine flew down, and everyone else followed.
Just as Lumine landed, the sky above Mondstadt suddenly changed, and the wind began to blow.
A massive tornado suddenly formed, and before anyone could react, Lumine was swept up into the sky by the whirlwind.
"Traveler!"
Paimon was very anxious and, without thinking, flew after her, getting swept up into the sky by the tornado as well.
Amber and the others below were frantic, but Ruola seemed much calmer. After all, this was Lumine's unique highlight moment, and they shouldn't interfere.
In any case, with Barbatos watching, Lumine wouldn't be in any danger.
Meanwhile, Lumine was swept high into the sky and opened her Wind Glider. Suddenly, she felt a gust of wind lift her, and her posture stabilized.
After narrowly dodging Dvalin's attack, Paimon also felt confused.
"Huh? Can the Wind Glider...stay in the air for so long?"
"It is I who let the thousand winds aid you, so you shall not fall..."

Guojia's live stream.
Because of the initial impression given by Ruola and the other two, Chen Xiyao and the audience now had a very high favorable impression of Mondstadt.
"Amber gave us the Wind Glider. What do you think Ruola will give us?"
: "Probably some support item from the game, like the Wind Glider."
: "I came from next door, that guy's plot progression is super fast. Let me give you a little spoiler, Ruola is very rich, super rich!"
: "Holy cow, a rich woman, no, a rich loli, no, a rich girl!"
: "I think we can look forward to Ruola's gift..."
"Oh no, I'm getting swept up!"
Being swept high into the sky and almost being hit by a giant dragon, Guo Zi immediately sat up straight, her heart pounding.
Excellent graphics weren't always a good thing, right? Guo Zi, who normally didn't get 3D motion sickness, was starting to feel it!
"I'm fighting a giant dragon, really?!"
"Oh my god, this must be the Anemo Archon, this definitely is the Anemo Archon!"
"I'm so amazing!"
The audience in the live stream: "..."

Teyvat.
Lumine drove away Stormterror and slowly descended from the sky using her Wind Glider.
Ruola and the other two rushed forward.
Amber: "Are you alright?!"
Ruola: "Are you hurt anywhere?"
Noelle carefully checked both of them and breathed a sigh of relief when she found they were unharmed.
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap~
Kaeya walked out unhurriedly, clapping his hands: "To possess the power to fight a giant dragon, are you a new ally... or a new storm?"
"Kaeya!"
Kaeya smiled and waved to Ruola: "Ruola, you're here too."
Amber was furious: "Stormterror has started attacking the city itself, it's too much! Captain Kaeya, we..."
"Wait, Amber, there are still people here who haven't introduced themselves yet."
Amber also realized and began to introduce the two parties, then recounted the previous events.
Kaeya welcomed Lumine, apologized for her ordeal, and invited her to the Knights of Favonius headquarters.
"Kaeya, can I come along?"
Ruola wanted to make more connections. If she left, she wouldn't appear in the plot anymore. She still needed to earn player and character emotions. She was close to activating other system functions, and then she would also know what was happening on the players' side.
"Of course, you can."
Kaeya thought of Diluc possibly worrying now, and a mischievous thought crossed his mind. It would be good if Ruola returned a little later.
Noelle had long wanted to help the residents in the city. Now knowing that Ruola was going to the Knights of Favonius, she said goodbye to Ruola and then left in a hurry.
The group arrived at the Knights of Favonius headquarters and met Jean and Lisa, who were waiting for them.
Jean was somewhat surprised by Ruola's arrival and subtly glanced at Kaeya, who quickly averted his gaze.
"Sister Lisa, Acting Grand Master Jean, I'm here to help too!"
"Oh, it's little Ruola! Still so full of energy, but let us adults handle these matters."
Lisa's voice was very enchanting.
"Sister Lisa, I've told you many times, I'm not a child!"
She was clearly only one year younger than Amber!
Klee was even a Spark Knight.
Ruola pouted angrily, but instead of appearing intimidating, she looked even cuter.
Kaeya lightly touched his forehead, stepped forward, and took over the conversation, explaining the situation to Jean and Lisa.
Everyone began to plan their strategy.
Jean assigned tasks to everyone. Of course, since Ruola was here, she was assigned to follow Kaeya.
Ruola and Kaeya went to the abandoned ruins. Even after successfully returning, she didn't see the Traveler, so it seemed her attempt to get screen time didn't succeed this time.
Thinking that such a big event had occurred, Ruola decided to go back and tell her brother she was safe.
Usually, if nothing major was happening at this time, her brother would be at the Angel's Share Tavern, so Ruola bid farewell to Kaeya and headed towards the tavern.
