The next morning.

(Y/n) packed up everything she need. She look herself in the mirror. The girl with green adventurer dress is reflected on the mirror. Her expression is soft and released friendly aura.

(Y/n) knew she is getting late but appearance is more important.

"Ok! Let's go!"
(Y/n) said as she left her room. She saw Baizhu water the the plant with Qiqi helping him.

"Oh, (Y/n)...have you had breakfast?"
Baizhu asked.

"No. I am getting late.I am leaving!"

Looking at the back of (Y/n), Baizhu took out the notebook from his Vision's space. He flipped the book, and write on the blank page,

" Observation Log #54
Today, she seem normal.She don't eat breakfast."

"Baizhu, I think it's time to give up.
(Y/n) is just ordinary adventurer. Maybe the book of adventure from Sumeru is wrong."
Changsheng said.

"No. He is..."
Baizhu stopped in confusion. He has confidence on his memory. But now, he can't think of that adventurer name and his face. It seem like blank.

The only way to prove of that person existence is the book stored in his Vision's space.

"Changsheng...I think the situation is getting interesting."

(Y/n) arrived at the appointment place. Sure enough, she saw four people standing and talking. To be pre cise, it is three people standing and one is floating.

"Hey , you are late!"
Wolford said in annoyance.

"Wolford, mind your manner."
Truman said with smile. However, his smile is not warm at all.

Aether look at him with cold expression.

Seeing it, Wolford immediately shut up.Brother, I don't offend you. Why are you looking at me like this?

"Ok. Let's go find the miners!"
(Y/n) said with excitement. As she know, legendary items given by the System is very powerful. She is excited for what will she get!

Full set of Metal-man suit would be nice.

"Not yet. According to regulation, we need to register at Ministry of Civil Affair and Security Department."
Wolford said.

"I already did it with the help of the expert. He is earning mora to pay debt. I can't believe he is an extremely knowledgeable young man."
Truman said.

"Huh? When did you do that?"

"While you are screaming and brainstorming your book."

"....."

Aether and Paimon looked at each other.

However, (Y/n) has a hunch. That expert description sounds like Zhongli. Expert and Broke. Sounded like him.
##########################################################

It took three days to get to border of Chasm with carriage. On the way, (Y/n) and Aether fend off slime,hilichurls, bandit and more bandits. The relationship between the two seem to be closer.

Also, Paimon enjoyed being hug by (Y/n) in her sleep.

Night. They camp in safe cave. There is bonfire at the center. The pot is boiling with chicken soup. There are grilled fishes. They were caught by Wolford and Truman from a nearby stream. They said they would contribute as much as he can even if he hired them.
