The Anemo Archon?
Looking at the figure in the sky, Kaeya, who was rushing towards the city, couldn't help but think of the Anemo Archon.
However, the Anemo Archon hadn't appeared for a very long ti, and the figure in the sky was currently at such a high altitude that he couldn't quite make out their appearance.
Even if he could make out the figure's appearance, he wouldn't be able to tell if it was truly the Anemo Archon based on that alone.
Hmm... the wind stopped???
Suddenly stopping, Kaeya was surprised to find that the raging winds, which had just been wreaking havoc, vanished without a trace in an instant.
Moreover, the sky, which had turned gloomy due to the appearance of the Stormterror, had now returned to its clear state, as if nothing had happened monts ago.
"It seems our Lord Anemo Archon has truly reappeared."
At this point, Kaeya believed that the figure in the sky was indeed the Anemo Archon.
After all, who else but the Anemo Archon could possess such power?
Not to ntion that the figure suddenly appeared when Mondstadt was in danger; this virtually confird she was the Anemo Archon.
Wait...
This figure... why do they seem familiar?
As he kept looking, Kaeya suddenly thought of soone: the girl beside a certain young man.
Wendy...
The girl beside the young man nad Kaito...
Recalling everything about these two, Kaeya's eyes widened. It was as if he had stumbled upon sothing extraordinary.
When he first t the young man nad Kaito, he suspected soone was hunting him down, a boy who appeared from nowhere. Yet, he couldn't understand why the pursuer wasn't active within Mondstadt, or why the young man himself wandered outside the city all day as if nothing was amiss.
Now, however, it seed he understood sothing.
If the Anemo Archon had actually appeared in Mondstadt long ago, and was even the girl beside that young man, then everything could be explained.
But... could it really be true?
Kaeya, who was always fond of making bold conjectures, found himself sowhat hesitant to believe this particular one.
There was no way around it; this conjecture was not only daring but also incredibly hard to believe.
Furthermore, his current understanding of that young man and the girl nad Wendy beside him was too limited; he had gathered almost no useful information.
Could it be... that I was mistaken...?
Thinking this, Kaeya continued to look up at the sky.
At this mont, he recalled the appearance of the girl beside Kaito while trying his best to clearly see the figure in the sky. He still felt that the two bore a striking resemblance.
Was Lord Anemo Archon plotting sothing?
Or... was the person in the sky not Lord Anemo Archon after all?
Still looking upwards, Kaeya fell into deep thought, unsure which possibility was correct.
Or perhaps, both were true?
-------------------------------------
Mondstadt.
Lumine's residence.
It should be safe now...
After rushing back to the entrance of her rented room, Lumine looked around once more and finally confird her safety.
Just now, she felt that the Anemo Archon was probably quite concerned about what she had witnessed. It wasn't a severe matter, yet the Archon would certainly care deeply.
So she perford an act of feigned amnesia, using this thod to assure the Anemo Archon that she wouldn't speak of the matter, and she truly succeeded.
She truly was incredibly clever, one had to admit.
Creak—
Opening the door and stepping inside, Lumine imdiately collapsed onto her bed.
Kaito's girlfriend is actually the Anemo Archon...
I must be... not dreaming, right?
Recalling the astonishing information she had just received, Lumine, lying on the bed, felt as though she was dreaming. Then, she forcefully pinched Paimon, who was sleeping beside her.
"Ouch, that hurts! Who's hitting ?"
Suddenly jolted awake by a sharp pain and sitting up, a groggy Paimon looked around confusedly, unsure what had happened.
"There was a mosquito on you just now; I helped swat it away."
Turning her head to glance at the bewildered Paimon beside her, Lumine, confirming she wasn't dreaming, answered casually.
"Oh, I see..."
Looking at Lumine, Paimon, who finally understood what had happened, lay back down and continued sleeping.
It seems I'll have to get on good terms with Kaito from now on...
If it's Kaito's request... she should agree, right...?
Staring at the ceiling above, Lumine ca to this conclusion.
But... does Kaito really not know that his girlfriend is the Anemo Archon?
Grumble—
Just then, Lumine's stomach suddenly rumbled.
Looks like it's ti to eat...
Getting up and looking out the window, Lumine realized it was ti for her to eat.
She had originally planned to invite Kaito to eat together just now, but she witnessed that scene instead and was so startled that she completely forgot about it.
As for Paimon, since she's so good at sleeping, she might as well continue.
Thinking this, Lumine walked out.
But where was a good place to eat around here? She needed to find out.

Angel's Share.
"Say, Kaito, are you really not going to drink? This stuff is great."
After saying this, Venti drained the wine in his cup, then imdiately refilled it, looking very satisfied.
"If you want my opinion, then I can only say it doesn't taste good; apple brew is better."
Smiling, Kaito took a sip of the apple brew.
As for his impression of alcohol, Kaito simply found it unpalatable, preferring to drink sothing else.
"Hahaha... hic... Of course, apple brew is also quite good."
Continuing to drink, Venti, who suddenly hiccupped while laughing, nodded at Kaito's words.
Apple brew was indeed decent, but it still couldn't compare to wine.
I have a feeling I'll still be paying later...
Glancing at the nurous empty bottles beneath the table, Kaito couldn't help but think this.
But it didn't matter; he had already prepared for this when he left.
Speaking of which... I wonder if Lumine will ask why I didn't tell her about the Anemo Archon later...
Holding the cup of apple brew, Kaito pondered Lumine's situation. He wasn't sure what she would think.
Although he had a reason prepared, would she really believe it?
"Welco—"
At that mont, the bartender called out a welco, making Kaito instinctively look towards the door.
Well, well... speak of the devil...
