Genshin Impact Reacts

Chapter 11: Bough Keeper Dainsleif

"Traveler, please, over here." Katheryne in Mondstadt called out to Lumine and Paimon who were entering the gates.

"You guys are in Mondstadt again?" Xiangling asked. "Weren't we supposed to watch them enter Inazuma?"

"This is quite important for her," Lynn told them. "because she learned some important things. Besides, she returned to Mondstadt first before going to Inazuma because Be...she hasn't done all the preparations needed yet."

Beidou let out a small smirk at that as only Ningguang looked at her with a raised brow as if saying 'really?'.

"Is it about her brother?" Cyno quickly figured it out as Lumine looked down, remembering the happenings of that day.

"It has been a while since you joined the Adventurers' Guild. Are your adventures going smoothly?"

"More companions would be nice..." Lumine confessed.

"It does get pretty boring with just us two." Paimon admitted.

"I can tell considering how the Traveler is more of the quiet type." Heizou stated.

"Yeah, sometimes quiet can be too quiet." someone from Natlan agreed.

"Hmm... is that so? Apart from your own skills, reliable teammates are also indispensable when adventuring." Katheryne agreed.

"Who can be a reliable teammate for the Traveler, though?" Chongyun wondered. "She's stronger than most of us. Well, besides the archons."

Hands were immediately raised.

"Another person to count on is always good, after all. But recruiting such dependable companions is no easy matter, is it?

"Yup, and it's even harder to get a guide as good as Paimon."

"On the contrary, I can think of ten people immediately that would be a better guide than you." someone from Snezhnaya mocked. "And less expensive, too."

"Probably not as cute as Paimon." Lumine defended, slightly hugging Paimon who had a wide smile.

"You didn't call Paimon emergency food!" she cheered.

"Ah, yes, I do have some information that may be of help to you... Let me consult our records... Ah, there it is. There's been a certain blond stranger who arrived in Mondstadt lately, dressed in the most unusual clothes." Katheryne said after looking it up.

Some looked up at this, wondering if it was her brother.

"It's not." Lumine, seeing the others about to question her, said solemnly.

"Blond... dresses all funny... It feels like Paimon's heard this one before... W—wait— do you mean..."

"Could it be...?" Lumine murmured with a hopeful tone.

Some couldn't help but wince at how hopeful she sounded in the video and how solemn she sounded in the room. It was like two different people...no, it was probably more appropriate to say that the lady in the video was living in a fairytale while the one in the room was a lady who was slapped by reality.

"Does that stranger's face look... anything like hers?!" Paimon immediately asked.

"Hmm? Like the Honorary Knight's? No, they couldn't look more different. This stranger is a very tall man, and even has an eyepatch..." Katheryne said.

"So, just some distant relative of Kaeya's, then..." Lumine said with a small frown.

"Pardon?" Kaeya said in surprise before looking at Lumine who was smiling a bit embarrassingly. "You don't believe that I am related to everyone who wears an eyepatch, right?"
