Genshin Impact: Unexpected thrill

"Here we are again but somehow like criminals running with their tails between their legs." Rea sighed at their situation.

"Except we done nothing wrong." Aether corrects the girl.

"Absolutely. Now, let's go. Paimon, lead the way."

Let's take a look. Paimon reckons he'll be on the balcony. Heh, doubt we're going to find him in the kitchen."

'Somehow, I think Paimon leads with wrong motivation.' Aether and I shared a knowing glance.

We arrived at the balcony but no Adeptus to be seen. So, we take a good view at the breath-taking scenery.

"To the blind, everything may not be as it appears..."

The moment they hear the voice, Rea turned to see the Adeptus they're looking for.

Xiao can't help but narrows his eyes when he notice unusual flicker from Rea's eyes.

The same glow which Diluc's first saw. He decided to be alert of her presence.

Of course, this reaction was noticed by our girl and she was a tiny bit hurt by it.

'I bet my presence will be a discomfort to any of my favourite characters. Wow, what a blow to my self esteem.'

Like usual, she didn't show it.

Xiao continues, "A Sigil of Permission? You came prepared. Though this only prevents me from hurting you myself. Doesn't stop you from getting hurt in other ways."

"Uhh... Paimon doesn't get it..." she said while scratching her head.

"Too much contact with our world is breaking the rules. Mortal souls are not as robust as those of adepti, nor can your blood carry this level of adeptal energy. It's for your own good. Leave. Now."

"Wait a sec, we came here to..." before Paimon can finish, Xiao disappeared.

"Argh! Paimon's... peeved! All he does is think about himself! Paimon wants to give him an ugly nickname... but if you tick off an adeptus, the only thing you'll probably ever find in treasure chests is cabbages! Bleurgh! Ugh... Guess we should go ask the boss lady of the inn about just how she manages to talk to adepti."

Aether agrees and we went to the Boss Lady.

"You seem unusually quiet, Rea. What happened?"

"Nahh.. I think Adepti have something against me." My whole existence it is.

"I—" Aether can't respond very well. He can't deny the possibility. All he can do it watch Rea's back and follow her.

"We ended up having a history lesson about Liyue isn't we? Aether?"

"Yes, I could not agree more and now we're heading to chase a ghost girl."

"Wow, what a splendid turn of event. Just for this adeptus... Well, anything for Xiao. For Xiao, it is..."

"This old, decrepit Ruin Guard... Surely it's not... possessed!?" Paimon shrieked.

"Oh fructose hell!"

"Aether you'll main dps. I'll support from a far."

"What?!!"

Bombards of missiles later.
