We went outside Liyue harbor into the forest trying to spot a Treasure Horder camp and perhaps... Take a free inn, After all, we didn't bring any mora with us.

after a while we've successfully found a treasure horder camp in the distance as we got closer a sound of chaos could be heard coming from the Camp, I quickly went and put my hand on my Tsuka (handle of a katana) ready to be unsheathed out of its holder,
I eyed the surroundings when a sudden Treasure horder charged in front of the Ballader holding an Axe.
before the treasure horder can even lay a hand on the Ballader its head is already flying off him as my blade sliced through his neck as I landed on the ground kneeling as I sheathed my Blade once more.

"Do you think I can not protect myself?" He glared at me as he put a hand on his waist.
"Are you underestimating my capabilities [reader]?" His hat ornament jiggled through the cold air.
"No, of course not Sir. I simply thought that That is not worth your time." I explained as I got up.
"Hm." He responded with

And like that, we continued walking towards the camp as the chaos keep getting closer and closer, The loud clashing of blades, grunts, and Screaming... It surely gave off some faint memories.

We finally arrived at the camp after a short trip to the woods and it took more time because of some treasure hoarders keeps jumping at us, Screaming. Of course, I had to dispose of them.

There we saw a blonde boy with a Floating companion fighting off the treasure hoarders.
"Who's there?!" He yelled,
"hm, now who might that be." I asked to myself,

"the traveler." The Ballader responded, His tone was serious when he spoke those very few words when he walked next to me.

My eyes widened in shock as I have never thought that a mighty'ol hero of teyvat is a small twink like him.
His floating companion then quickly flew to us with a scared and angry look on her face.
I then quickly went forward hiding the Ballader behind me which I can feel a crazy amount of intimidating power coming from him.
"Hey! Will you help us out here?!" She yelled,
"What?" I questioned as she quickly dragged me onto the battlefield to help her 'friend'
I looked at the Ballader whose behind a shadow as he touched the tip of his hat and twisted it to the right usually meaning, Go ahead I'll just watch.

I mentally sighed "Fine, but you owe me." I spat out, As I hold the handle of my katana focusing my strength, speed and power on it as a glow suddenly appeared on my hand
"Disperse." I quietly said glaring at all the treasure hoarders left as I suddenly dashed at them decapitating them in an instant and quickly sheathed my blade on its holder once again.

---
A lady like not to far from my height suddenly appeared out of nowhere as she was getting dragged by Paimon.
there's something off about her. I know it,

I watched as she single-handled all those Treasure Hoarders in an instant Decapitating them...
"Thank you," I said as she went and walked back to us.
"hm." Which she responded with a stare.
"Why are you fighting treasure hoarders at a time like this?" she questioned as she continued to stare at me.
"I was simply doing a commission," I answered simply, still skeptical about her sudden appearance.
"What commission?" She questioned "It's my turn to ask the question." i answered back as I put away my Dull blade.

"What is a lady like you, here in the woods in the middle of the night? Come I'll get you a room at Liyue Harbor which is not that far from here." I questioned her,
"Save the sweet talk, blonde" She answered
'Blonde?' I thought
When a sudden axe went to aim for her head, Luckly I was quick to notice it when I suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto me lucky it only hitting a strand of her hair.

"what the hell?" She questioned sounding irritated. "will you at least be grateful I just saved your life there miss." I answered,

"Yes, Ok I'm grateful but get your hands off me blonde." She demanded,
"O-oh right."
I responded forgetting that I did indeed have hands around her wrist and the back of her back.
I was about to take my hands of her when I suddenly felt a strong intimidating aura coming from the woods. I gripped securely on her wrist as I eyed the woods.
"hello? Get the heck off me." She demanded once again
"ah right. sorry." I apologized quickly getting of her.

I moved away from her as an awkward chuckle left my lips.

Before I knew it. I was flying on to the nearest tree which my cape was pinned on to the tree with a dagger that looks like it was made well with a great blacksmith.
A heavy grunt left my lips.

---

I couldn't stand it. I don't know what got onto me getting all worked up over nothing.. Just seeing his filthy hands all over her gets me mad.
Makes my blood boil onto other level.
Before I knew it my hand worked on itself, I grabbed a dagger from the side of my sock Blinded by what seem to be rage I missed by an inch causing the dagger to hit his cape instead.
My hand slowly crawled into a fist as I punched the nearest tree which is to my side making a bunch of crows fly out of their nest..

---

I looked up seeing a bunch of crows flying out by a sudden disturb to their nest, A cold wind then swayed through the night once more time as I fixed my coat then walked towards the Traveller then took out the dagger which was pinning him into the tree and wipped it off my handkerchief and placed in my back pouch.

"thank you.." The traveller thanked, It seems as the dagger managed to make a small cut through his cheek.
"mhm." I said about to walk out

"Hey- Nevermind.. see you around." The traveller said disappointed knowing that I'm already on my way to disappear onto the woods once again.

---

"Well that was rude!" Paimon said sticking her tongue out the direction that lady went
"stop it, at least she helped us." I disagreed. "We should get going to our Destination now."
I sighed.
"Hmp! fine! the next time we see that girl, I'm giving her a nasty nickname!!" she said as we went on our way.
