Hi there! I'm getting things rolling now - I've been in Genshin for three years, so while I like to start from the current time, I think it best to rewind time a bit. The starting point will be after version 2.5. Enjoy. :)

The main girls are currently(In chronological-ish order): Amber, Jean, Lisa, Barbara, Noelle, Sucrose, Eula, Mona, Rosaria, Fischi, Ganyu, Kequing, Ningguang, Shenhe, Beidou, Hu Tao, Yanfei, Ayaka, Kokomi, Ei(Raiden), Yae Miko, Kujou Sara, , Xiangling, Xinyan, Yoimiya, Yun Jin.

All the character is already introduced unless early implementation of the game version in the future and the "past" will be noted before anything begins. Aether is not dense but unaware until said so.

The scene opens in Inazuma city, there at the region Adventuring Guild - Aether can be seen clearing paper with all the commissions that he picks up daily with Katheryne.

"Thank you for completing today's commissions. Here is your reward." The receptionist said the rewards were handed in bags and boxes after the paper was done.

"Finally." He said with a sigh of relief that while the whole situation at Inazuma is now rested most enjoy the relative calm after various decrees have been abolished or suspended indefinitely.

"Hey Aether, let's get something to eat. Paimon is super hungry after that last one over there." Paimon, Aether's companion/A.k.a. Emergency Food said to him.

"Really?" He said as they had just arrived here and stopped at Shimura's during their arrival.

"If it's that desperate then a few plates wouldn't mind but remember - no more than two or over the agreed budget already." He said to reinforce his stance on their financial status as he isn't a big spender on things that aren't overly complicated like food but once in a few instances or chance will be acceptable.

Just as they began to walk toward the restaurant opposite the guild - Aether felt something disturbing, like the fabric of Realspace began to open toward another dimension that ran parallel to Realspace. 

*WHHAMMPP*

Just as he thought the next moment - a portal opened in a flashing of light and the two walked right in it vanished before anyone's eyes.

*TA-WHHAMP*

"Wait, This isn't Inazuma," Paimon said as in a few moments she was about to go through at least two stages of panic starting with shallow breaths.

"Don't do anything." He said to remain on guard, as hinted at their sudden arrival, before distancing himself and looking around the area to see that they arrived at the reception area or lobby floor of a large building.

The lighting of the room is very low and the furniture looks somewhat still new, there is a brochure and newspaper on one of the shelves and rack.

"Um... This place is scary here, Paimon wants to leave now!" Another stage soon begins and Paimon is now trying to find a way to hide and left Aether to fend off on his own.

*Thud--Click-Click*

"Where... Who's there." He said, remaining calm throughout the entire excursion.

That was until he saw a figure, ready his sword as before two yellow lights appeared near each other and floating. All was tense until...

"My goodness, terrible me... Sorry, Did I forget to turn on the lights?" Then a robotic voice can be heard and this spooks Paimon as the figure reveals itself to be a humanoid Protocol droid in silver color.
