"Ah! Thank you!" Sucrose accepted and started saying "I've heard so many stories about you! Always wanted an opportunity to research you two up close!"
"Uhh, what do you mean, "research"!?" Paimon said in surprise
"Ah! Sorry, don't mind me, what am I saying... Still, you'd definitely be able to help Albedo. It is you two after all." Sucrose said
"There's that name again! "Albedo." Is he also an alchemist in Mondstadt?" Paimon asked
"Not a name I'm familiar with." Lumine said
"Who's he, Sucrose?" Boboiboy asked
"Apologies, I never introduced him. Albedo is the Knights of Favonius' Chief Alchemist. He's also Timaeus' and my teacher." Sucrose said
"But Paimon's only ever seen Timaeus teaching alchemy. So that means... Albedo is a teacher-teacher?" Paimon asked
"Yes, he's dedicated himself to investigating the truth of this world, and has made many an important breakthrough. We often get alchemists coming to Mondstadt from all over Teyvat, seeking his help. They say that the subtlest of guidance from Mr. Albedo helps them to solve the most unfathomable of problems." Sucrose explained
"Wow, Paimon didn't know he was such a big deal!" Paimon said
"Mm-hmm. Still, it seems that he's encountered a problem in his research recently. Every time I see him, he has a concerned look on his face." Sucrose said in worry
"My knowledge of alchemy stops at basic crafting." Lumine said
"I'm sure that Albedo would love to hear about your incredible exploits. I know it would bring him lots of new inspiration. Albedo is a true gentleman. He'll be sure to pay you back in equal measure for helping him out." Sucrose said
"Can he make me stronger?" Lumine asked
"I don't see why not. Testing the limits of living beings' capabilities is one of Albedo's areas of research after all." Sucrose answered
"Can he make Paimon stronger?" Lumine said jokingly
"Uhh, Paimon doesn't need any help in that department. But if Albedo wants to pay Paimon back for helping him, a few Mora might settle the score. Tee-hee!"
"Hehe. That's awesome." Boboiboy gave them a thumb-up
"Albedo and Timaeus will be conducting research in the mountains right now. I'd love to take you three to see him, but somebody has to attend to the store. I'm afraid you'll have to go to the entrance to the pass and look for him by yourselves. Look out for a refined gentleman with the presence of a true scholar, and... umm..."
"...Sorry, that's the best I can do. You'll have to do your best." Sucrose apologized
"Hey, stop worrying! We got this!" Paimon waved her hands
"Do not worry. We can handle this." Boboiboy added
After talking with Sucrose, they are now on their journey to find Albedo
"Sucrose is a whole lot less nervous once she gets talking about alchemy and research, huh. Is that what all researchers are like? Anyway, let's go and look for Albedo." Paimon said as they started going to Dragonspine
-Timeskip to Dragonspine-
Upon reaching the entrance of Dragonspine
They can see Barbara and Rosaria (Yeah, Water has already met her). Barbara runs up to her, who's standing with arm-crossed
