You walked towards the Knights of Favonius headquarters after coming back from burning down various hilichurls' camp near the city, as per requested by Jean. Aether wanted to go with you but he was taken away by Lisa.

You have never seen Aether's face looking like a dog being taken away from their owner, giving you a sad and pleading look as he reached out for you while Lisa dragged him away to help her return some books that have been overdue. It was quite amusing and adorable at the same time, you almost felt pity for the poor blonde.

You hummed a small tune when you reached Jean's office. Knocking on the door, you waited for a reply. You felt yourself becoming hungry and let out a small sigh. 'Maybe I should go on a hunt after this.. I need to eat something or else I might go insane from hunger. Humans or demons usually help but apparently that's not allowed.' you thought to yourself as you looked down at your hand, inspecting your claws.

'I might need to hunt a lot later. Jean better not give me more jobs after this..' you thought when you heard a light 'come in' from inside the room.

You held the door knob and turned it, opening the room and entering inside to see Jean fixing some documents on her desk.

"Oh, (Y/N). You're back early.. but where's Aether? I assumed he would be with you." Jean asked.

"Well, there was a sudden change of schedule on Aether's part. Lisa took him to retrieve some books that were overdue and weren't returned yet." you answered, looking around the room with a small smile on your face.

"I see. Well then, I want to thank you for taking care of the hilichurl camps. I hope you didn't burn anything down." Jean exclaimed, looking at you with slightly narrowed eyes.

"Now now, dear. I wouldn't exactly burn down a whole forest without hesitation. Who knows if there were some good boars to hunt and I accidentally burnt them to a crisp! Haha! That would be such a waste!" you replied, giving Jean an innocent grin while waving your hands around.

"Alright then. Oh wait, before you go. Recently, one of the Abyss Order's Mages has been active near the city, although he is keeping a low profile. Please be on the lookout for danger. Given your.. well, powerful demonic abilities, I trust that you will be able to lend us a hand once more and help keep the area safe." Jean stated, placing a hand on her chest.

"I suppose I have no other choice. Very well, I'll be on the lookout for this pesky abyss mage. I'll report back if I find anything worth reporting. Have a good day, Jean!" you exclaimed, waving goodbye to Jean as you exited the room.

Your ears caught the sound of footsteps to your right as you turned and felt something crash into your leg and fall to the floor. You looked down to see a small girl wearing a red and white colored outfit. You noticed the four-leaf clover patterns on the girl's clothing.

You walked closer to the small child and kneeled down in front of her, watching as the girl rubs her head in pain.

"Oh dear.. are you alright, sweetie? You didn't bump your head too hard, did you?" you asked, gently helping the little girl up and helping her pick up the items she dropped.

You noticed a small note in the corner and picked it up, noticing the fine handwriting while reading the note.

'Explosion inside city wall, grounded be thy woe. Explosions can hurt people, Jean can be dreadful. Mondstadt be bombed, Klee be doomed.' you read with slight confusion as you looked back at the girl who was bowing at you.

"I-I'm fine! I'm not hurt! I'm sorry for bumping into you, Ms. Radio Demon!" the girl exclaimed as she looked up at your grinning face.
