Stormterror's Lair.
"Your Highness, news has arrived from Mondstadt: the Anemo Archon has appeared."
In a secluded area, several Abyss Mages respectfully reported the situation in Mondstadt to a figure standing before them.
Not far away was Stormterror's nesting place—Stormterror's Lair.
"Is that so? How much strength does He possess now? Will He pose a threat to our plans?"
Still gazing at Stormterror's Lair in the distance, the figure's voice was remarkably calm.
He was, in fact, aware of the Anemo Archon's forr power.
But after so many years, he didn't know how much power the Anemo Archon still retained.
However, having relinquished dominion over Mondstadt, He likely wouldn't have much power left after all this ti.
"Just today, He defeated the Fatui Harbinger—La Signora. It seems He still possesses so strength, Your Highness." Pausing, the Abyss Mage continued, "Even so, I believe He won't pose much of a threat to our plans."
Won't pose much?
Is the Anemo Archon that weak in your eyes?
You should at least put up an Anemo shield before saying that...
Listening silently from the side, Wendy couldn't help but inwardly grumble.
If it were Lumine's brother—Aether—saying this, it would be understandable, after all, he is the Abyss Prince. But for these Abyss Mages to also look down on the Anemo Archon was a bit ridiculous.
That Venti fellow, is he really that good at slacking off...
It seems I must restore the Anemo Archon's glory...
With this thought, Wendy prepared to make her move.
Of course, the reason wasn't solely to restore the Anemo Archon's glory.
More importantly, she was worried that Aether would leave Mondstadt tomorrow, making it difficult to fulfill her promise to Lumine.
And if that truly happened, her identity as the Anemo Archon would inevitably be questioned.
While she was indeed powerful, she wasn't strong when it ca to finding people, so she had to act preemptively.
As for the task, that would have to wait. She first needed to fulfill her promise to Lumine.
"Then..."
"Then why don't you go find your sister?"
"Who?"
"Enemy!"
"Protect His Highness!"
...
With Wendy's sudden interruption, the Abyss Mages and Aether instantly beca alert, looking left and right for the source of the voice.
However, they searched everywhere but couldn't find where the voice was coming from.
My sister...
Who is speaking?
Compared to the potential danger, Aether was more concerned about who the speaker was.
"Didn't you just discuss ? Why don't you recognize now?"
Slowly appearing in mid-air, Wendy looked very confused as she gazed down at the people below.
"He is the Anemo Archon, Your Highness."
At this point, the Abyss Mages finally realized who the enemy was.
But they never expected the Anemo Archon to appear here.
"Becoming a Prince and not even bringing your sister along."
In mid-air, Wendy spoke with a hint of boredom.
The Anemo Archon...
Why... does sothing feel off...
Staring expressionlessly at the Anemo Archon above, Aether felt sothing was amiss.
But he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong; it just felt very strange.
But it didn't matter. Since the opponent is the Anemo Archon, he would see how much power the Anemo Archon still possessed.
"You, who abandoned dominion over Mondstadt, how much power do you truly have left now?"
Slowly drawing his weapon, Aether, without responding to Wendy's taunt, spoke with cold indifference.
Against the Anemo Archon, he felt he had a significant advantage.
-----------
Lumine's residence.
"Speaking of which, Wendy hasn't returned yet. I wonder if sothing happened."
Sitting on a chair in the small living room, Lumine checked the ti, then looked towards the door and said this.
Although the al was ready, since Wendy hadn't returned, she was currently chatting with Kaito.
"I don't know, but she should be back soon."
Shaking his head, Kaito also looked towards the door, as if he wanted to see if Wendy had returned.
Of course, Kaito definitely knew the answer to that question, but he could only pretend ignorance.
Moreover, he was currently thinking about how to interact with Lumine after defeating Aether.
He was still thinking about tomorrow's task; it was already afternoon, and tomorrow wasn't far off.
If tomorrow's task was related to getting Aether and Lumine to et, he could complete it quickly.
"Speaking of which... aren't you worried about Wendy, Kaito?"
After a mont's thought, Lumine, looking at Kaito, suddenly asked him this question.
Logically, Kaito didn't know Wendy's identity, so he should be a little worried, but he didn't seem to be.
Why is that?
"Worried? No need to worry. On the contrary, Wendy should be worried about ."
Snapping back to attention, Kaito gave this answer.
He couldn't help it; his current strength was still considerably far from Wendy's level, so he had absolutely no need to worry about Wendy.
Wendy... worried about Kaito?
"Is Wendy perhaps worried that I might eat you?"
In response to Kaito's answer, Lumine unconsciously blurted out this sentence.
But after she said it, she couldn't help but imagine that scene again.
She couldn't help it; having overthought it too many tis, she now found it difficult to look directly at the word 'eat,' especially when the object was Kaito.
"Of course not. You couldn't eat ."
Kaito was still very confident in his strength; Lumine might not be able to defeat him now.
Couldn't eat... yours...
Why does it feel like... he has more to say after that...
This Kaito... he wouldn't know I often think about those things, would he?
At the thought of this possibility, Lumine's face flushed, even more severely than before.
After all, if Kaito really knew she was thinking such things, she'd die of embarrassnt, wanting to crawl into any hole.
But no matter what, she certainly wouldn't ask him about it.
After all, how could sothing like that be spoken aloud, unless it was a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?
"Lumine's face has turned red again."
But no matter what, she certainly wouldn't ask him about it.

"Lumine's face has turned red again."
Paimon, noticing the situation, was already used to it.
For so reason, Lumine's face kept suddenly turning red today, which was very strange; she hadn't been like this before.
This Lumine... she's not still thinking about that thing Wendy and I did, is she?
If she's really thinking that... I wouldn't mind...
Thoughts aside, Kaito wouldn't actually say that. He was more concerned about the situation at Stormterror's Lair now.
