No one's POV

Trotting along peacefully through Mondstadt was Aether with Paimon and Bella. It had been around three days since Bella's arrival and she had already began to settle down and blend in with the rest. Aether then had her explain their entire experiences and specifically about Sirin, whom he pitied.

As he once said, "The poor girl was beyond powerful, and yet her mentality is what held her back. All she needed was a person to properly guide her and she wouldn't have fallen victim to the Will of the Honkai."

Bella also ended up meeting Welt again, who was very shocked and demanded an explanation from Aether, which he then recieved as as surprising as she thought it was, Welt was fine with it and ley it slide. She was actually really nervous about it.

While walking, Bella turned her head towards the adventurers guild and noticed the guild girl waving at them. She tugged on Aether's clothes, making the man pause and look back at her.

"Yes Bella ?" He asked.

Bella then pointed at the guild girl, which is where both of them looked at next and Aether smiled.

"There's a lady over there waving to you!" Paimon said, and Aether walked over to the guild girl while saying, "I'm aware, Paimon."

"Welcome to Mondstadt's Adventurers Guild. Actually, I've had my eyes on you for a long time." The guild girl started out by saying this, which intrigued the other two but Aether didn't seem surprised.

"Oh ? Surely you jest. There's nothing interesting about me." This made the other two deadpan at him and stare into his pure soul. 'Yeah right.'

"What's the matter ? Attracted by Aether's good looks ?" Paimon teased, making a faint hue appear on her cheeks as she brushed her question away.

This actually made Aether raise an eyebrow, wondering how it was even possible for this Bionic Snezhnayan Puppet to react like that. Well, the more you know.

"No. It's not that. Being on the lookout for great and talented adventurers is a part of my job. When I look at you, and even the one next to you, I see talent capable of reaching the greatest of adventurers and reaching the ones of legend." She explained. "I was also present to see your contribution against Stormterror and that honkai dragon three days ago."

When she said that, Bella sweated a little and slightly looked away, but Aether remained as poised as ever.

Paimon only giggled. "Yup. Paimon feels that way too. Paimon always feels safe and warm with Aether."

Aether smiled and began to pay her head gently, an action which she loved and she nestled into him and while becoming entranced by his touch of divinity, despite being only transcendent.

"Thank you Paimon. It makes me feel nice." He then faced the guild girl and said, "Now then, dear madam, what do I owe you the pleasure ?"

"Is it possible to join the adventurers guild, all three of you ? The advantages provided are certainly worth it and it's a good source of income and information. You will carry out missions and quests of different magnitudes depending on experience and choices, and the rewards also depend on that. We do not impose an admission fee or impose any kind of duties on its members. In short, there are a lot of benefits and no drawbacks on becoming a member." The guild girl explained and Paimon's ears perked up when she said, "reward".

"Shall I give you a brief explanation on-"

"We're in!" Paimon exclaimed, her eyes sparkling brightly since the very moment she heard the guild girl utter the word, "reward". This made the other two deadpan at her.
