Lumine heard Cyno's cold joke from far away.
Mondstadt is too far from the desert, too close to the snowy mountain...
Looking at Sucrose, who seed sowhat speechless.
She didn't even know how to greet Cyno.
Mainly, she hadn't expected the Grand Master of Discipline... the Grand Discipline Officer to co to Mondstadt for fun.
Fortunately, Collei was already used to it and stepped forward.
She introduced her Master Tighnari to Sucrose, as well as the 'adventurer' Cyno.
When Sucrose ntioned that her status was quite similar to Collei's.
She was also the assistant to the genius alchemist Albedo.
Albedo tily appeared at the city gate.
"Sucrose, let's avoid using the word [genius]; don't leave too exaggerated a first impression on the guests."
[Buff Albedo's hair volu, Mihoyo!]
[Chalk Teacher, I'm your fan]
[Teyvat native incoming?]
After quickly understanding the group's purpose.
Albedo soon completed the arrangents for the guests' accommodation and als.
Besides lodging.
For the first day's als, he recomnded a group dinner.
Paimon was very happy upon hearing this; she felt she should tag along for free food and drinks.
Her fantasy was ruthlessly shattered by Lumine.
Tighnari was quite satisfied with this arrangent.
However, he suggested changing the group dinner to a collective picnic.
That way, everyone could participate.
"I'll help set up the tents!"
"I can help too."
Everyone suddenly got excited.
Lumine thought, since Mu Yang hadn't arrived yet anyway.
Let's arrange it this way for now.
After discussing, they might even solve Sucrose's commission.
As well as the prophecy Collei picked up.
She was just about to speak, saying she'd go buy so ingredients.
Paimon had already flown far away.
"We're going to the Good Hunter to buy so appetizers for everyone; Mondstadt's cold at platter is quite special."
Lumine helplessly smiled at everyone.
Everyone knew what Paimon was like and expressed understanding.
At the Good Hunter restaurant.
Waitress Sara was efficient, "Okay, one cold at platter."
"Anything else needed?"
Paimon seized the opportunity to hug Lumine's arm, "She's, he's asking if I need anything else..."
Lumine pinched her little cheek, "Add one Sweet Mada then."
[Say chicken, not ba]
[Paimon cute pinch, co into my arms]
[I want to pinch Paimon too]
[Such a cute little dummy, spoiled of course; what else can you do?]
Seeing Lumine so readily add a dish for her.
And it was her favorite Sweet Mada.
Paimon was overjoyed, "Wow!! You're the best person in the world."
"Hehe, I'll offer the Sweet Flowers from the Sweet Mada as [Windblu Flowers] to you."
"Then I really have to thank you..."
In the short ti Sara was packing the cold at platter.
Paimon had already finished a whole chicken, all to herself.
"Burp... ah— so satisfied."
"If this is the good thing only during Windblu Festival, I hope every day is Windblu Festival."
Lumine rubbed her head.
Really didn't know how this foodie's brain worked.
The two took the appetizers to the picnic spot by the river.
The tents and picnic items were almost all prepared.
After complinting each other, everyone took out their prepared ingredients and started the fire to cook.
After enjoying a sumptuous dinner, everyone sat around the campfire again...
Tighnari and the others chatted about Honey-Marinated Fish and Winged Rice.
Sucrose noticed her new friend Collei had only eaten a little bit.
She asked what was wrong.
Collei shook her head, "My appetite has always been small."
Then the two introverts fell into a weird silence again...
Sucrose also felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward and stood up to get so soup.
Collei lowered her head, "Did I kill the conversation..."
Cyno zero-fra setup again.
"Tighnari, that day on the road, we saw a white thing walking on two legs; was it Paimon?"
Tighnari was prepared this ti and didn't dare respond easily.
Paimon recklessly joined in anyway.
"I always fly; I never walk on the ground."
Cyno stood up, facing the sea.
"Oh... I thought it was because Paimon ate a lot of [Sunsettia]."
Complete silence all around.
Collei instantly felt she still had much to learn in killing conversations.
Cyno didn't hear any reaction behind him.
He turned around and added, "Not funny?"
[The previous ones didn't make laugh; this one did]
[With this addition, it's perfect]
[Feels less funny than the Grand Anemo chanism]
Before everyone could react.
He started explaining, "Because the 'settia' in Sunsettia makes Paimon 'set' on the ground."
[Explaining a cold joke; don't be too ridiculous]
[Already dug out a big villa]
[This is the true king of killing conversations]
Lumine shrugged, "Why didn't anyone stop him from explaining?"
Tighnari said earnestly, "This is part of getting to know each other; think positively—Cyno really considers everyone friends."
Better to suffer cold jokes together than alone.
Since Cyno wasn't embarrassed anyway.
How could only he suffer?
Regarding this cold joke segnt.
Everyone was speechless.
Only Albedo asked if they should experint on this hypothesis.
Paimon tilted her head, "What do you an?"
Albedo said seriously, "Whether native Mondstadt plants have a systemic effect on the bodily functions of floating life forms."
"Don't treat as an experint subject!"
Paimon flew in front of everyone, "Following this logic, if I eat Bulle Fruit, will I beco that chubby appearance?"
Lumine followed with a stab, "Pretty cute actually."
Collei on the opposite side also bluntly comnted.
Compared to Mr. Cyno's jokes, Lumine and Paimon's dialogue is much more enjoyable.
Cyno seed a bit anxious, "...You have bias against ; it must be long-term accumulation."
Only then did Lumine notice that Cyno was a bit too lively.
Far from the Grand Master of Discipline at the Akademiya.
"Because right now, I'm adventurer Cyno."
Lumine: ...
"Not funny?"
This chat couldn't continue at all today.
The clever Sucrose shifted the topic to why the few of them ca to Mondstadt.
Only then did the conversation get back on track.
Unfortunately, they hadn't said a few serious words.
Cyno started again.
Stacking high, Collei-lei, Sunsettia, Hookfruit...
He wanted everyone to accept this humorous and fun adventurer persona...
In the end, the conversation after this picnic finally ca to an end after Amber and Eula appeared.
The two ca to find Collei.
[This perspective is great; green in the middle of red and blue]
[MHY, be human; is this how you fra it?]
[Yay, it's Eula!]
[Collei: There shouldn't be a campfire here, nor should there be ]
Mondstadt's ice and fire duo took Collei away.
Before leaving, Eula suddenly rembered her group of traveling companions.
She reminded Lumine that a group of friends from Liyue had also entered the city.
