Travelling by foot was no easy task, but collecting chests and luxuries along the way never fails to make your day. Defeating the enemies on certain areas, you, along with Aether defeats them with ease. The three of you were heading back to the camp but also stopped, collecting chests along the way. There was no need for you to collect mora or expensive jewels since you're already wealthy. Other than a Harbinger doing missions for her Majesty left and right, you're also a businesswoman who sells items that meets the customer's eyes and needs all across Teyvet.
Earning mora was never a problem, spending them is.
After clearing out your enemies Aether and Paimon approached a nearby chest, happily opening it. A smile makes way to Aether's lips while Paimon's eyes widens in awe. While they were busy collecting rare artifacts and mora, you only stood back not even bothering to take something for yourself.
"Aren't you going to take this?" Paimon asks referring to the mora and other stuff inside. You shake your head having no interest on collecting anything that was inside the container. If you have collected more, you might as well fear that your bank would explode. "Mm, suit yourself." If you were in need of mora right now you wouldn't hesitate collecting to what's inside the container.
So why did you mention that collecting chests makes you joyous?
The thing that excited you was not opening the chests or collecting a pretty good amount of luxury itself. No, it was before that. The adrenaline rush excites you, fighting and killing enemies. Doing attacks and moves you haven't done before. You have been treating your expeditions and explorations as practice. Seeing the battlefield as an opportunity to improve you skills while in the middle of life and death.
The thought made you scared of yourself. You were becoming more like Childe. His influence has been rubbing off on you that you're thinking the same ways as him. You should totally keep note to stay away from Childe once you get back. With an exasperated sigh once again walking for Archon knows how long. This continued on for days. every morning until the sun sets down. Walking and walking until the three of you finally reached the headquarters.
Finally!
You cheered mentally with a bubbly aura. Even Aether was relieved. Staring ahead, your feet leads you to the headquarters where Kokomi stood accompanied by Gorou. Curios to why he was here and what they were talking about. They appear to be worried and tense. When the three of you finally made an appearance, you couldn't help but feel the suffocating atmosphere. You can't help but shift uncomfortably, adjusting. "Kokomi, Gorou, what's going on?" Paimon asks. "Recently, some of our soldiers started showing symptoms of accelerated aging."
