LEO MINOR, ACT I, PART I
[A/N: .... I am not sure if I'm ready to read your comments after writing this...]
You were heading towards the Cathedral as usual to visit them before you heard Sara from Good Hunter called you to come to her which made you wondered if she had commission for you.
The restaurant was quite full with people even the seats outside was full of people. “Do you need anything for me to help?” You asked as she nodded and sighed in relief.
“I have something I’d like the Knights of Favonius to do for me, and I want you to pass on my request to the Acting Grand Master.” She said as you couldn’t help but feel sense of familiarity to this. “You are close to her, right?” She asked.
“Yeah, I guess you could say I am very close to her. What was it did you wanted to tell to Jean?” You asked as you took your phone to write it down so you didn’t forget.
“It must be nice to know Jean has your back. I must apologize for being unable to visit the Knights in person, but the restaurant has been so busy lately. Unfortunately, it’s right in this busy season that the route between here and Springvale, which is used to deliver our ingredients, seems to have been occupied by the hilichurls.” She explained as you started to know where this is from.
“Oh.. so you want the Knights to clear the roads?” You asked as you typed it down on your phone.
“Yes, that would be great!” She let out a relief sigh as she smiled. “With Jean on the case, this’ll be solved in no time. Thank you.”
“No problem, maybe I should offer my help to Jean.” You thought as you headed to Angel’s Share while going to the Headquarters to confirm yourself if this is a story quest or this is just a request.
You headed inside the Angel’s Share and just to be greeted with Charles who seems to be contemplating while cleaning the glass on his hand. “Hey, Charles! Do you need anything for me to help?” You asked as he turned to you.
“Oh if it isn't the apple cider addict, Y/N. You came at the perfect time. I heard you are Jean's new hotspot helper. Tell Jean I need my quarterly tax return forms then. It's time to get Elzer onto the accounts." You typed it down on your phone and already knowing that this was a quest.
"Hmm... I can't help but worry about Jean... Anyways, I'll get going. I'll see you later." You were about to leave before Charles realized something that he forgotten to tell.
"Wait, I forgot to tell you something." You stopped before turning around and tilted your head. "Master Diluc asked me to pass this bottle of our new concotion to you. Did you ordered it?" He handed you the bottle as you took a sniff of the drink. You could smell apple with a hint of vanilla and dandelion.
"I don't remember ordering anything from him... Hmm... I'll ask him later." You kept the bottle in your inventory before bidding goodbyes to him and left the tavern. You headed to the Knights of Favonius' Headquarters until you saw Margaret who seems to be really worried as she also headed to the Headquarters.
She noticed you went passed her and stopped you. "Hey!" You stopped and turned around, forgetting that Margaret was also in the list of quest.
"Margaret? You seems to be looking quite worried as if you lost someone." You stated as she nodded.
"I-I did. Have you seen Princey anywhere?" You began to realize that she also had a request for Jean.
"What does he looked like again?" You questioned her as you took your phone to write it down. She described the cat look as you tried to remember if you saw any black cats.
"Nope, but I'll help you find your cat after I made a meeting with Jean." You stated as her face lit up.
"You're on the way to see Jean? What a coincidence." You stayed in silence as you let out a sigh and started to feel even more bad for Jean.
"So let me guess you want Jean to find your cat?" She nodded in response. "...Okay, I guess I'll tell her that." You said as you opened the door and entered her office to see Jean's were coughing and seems to be staggering. You already knew that she was sick.
"Jean?" You called out her name as she turned to you as her eyes are squinting before recognized your figure. She took a seat on the chair as she grabbed her quill and a paper.
"Y-Y/N? Do you need anything?" She asked as you shook your head.
"No. There are three people that needed your help... but you seem unwell. I'll do the work for you while you take a rest. Here, try and eat this. It should help you with the dizziness you are having right now." You handed her one of the breakfast you made for your travelling buddy that is in the Cathedral.
She hesitantly grabbed the food since she felt quite guilty about it. She took a bite of it and felt the dizziness slowly going away before she turned to you. "Thanks for the food Y/N but I can't let you do all the work." She said.
"No, you need rest and go see Barbara for proper medications. Let me do the work for you. I'll get it done in a jiffy." You said as she furrowed her eyebrows.
She hated that she troubled someone especially it is you. "No... I can handle it myself." She uttered but you shook your head.
"Sorry but I can't have the Acting Grand Master overworking herself at this state. Don't make me bring you to Barbara myself." You said as she frowned, wondering what kind of method would you use to drag her there. She wasn't underestimating your strength and abilities but she can't dump all her responsibilities to you.
"But-"
"No buts. Just leave to your Honorary Knight and the rest of the Knights. Now go." You assured her as she sighed and let out a smile.
"Alright, I'll tell the other Knights that for today only, you will be looking after Mondstadt and be the one who make the decision." She stated as you nodded before she left her office as you let out a sigh in relief.
You would help her with the paperworks that are stacking on her table but you were too illiterate to even be able read or write things. You took out Paimon's guide on how to write and read and was about to write down a note.
That was before you heard people bursting in the office, revealing Amber, few other Knights and Kaeya which surprised you but you'll ask him how's his legs doing later. "Y/N, we heard that Jean was sick and you will be the one who took the job?" Amber asked as you nodded.
"Yeah, there are few matters that needed to be done by now... Can I ask you guys for help on this matter?" You asked them as they nodded. "Amber, I need you and bring the other Knights to clear the road around Springvale to the city since it's holding up a delivery. If you want to know which location it is, you might have to ask SaraAs for the tax form... I would be very delighted to go through each one of them but I have trouble reading... if it wouldn't be a trouble, please call Lisa to deal with it. Also send more guys to patrol around Windrise as there are Abyss Mage being seen around that area. Is that clear?" You asked.
"Sir, yes, sir!" They responded which scared the hell out of you. This isn't something that you would expect or you looked forward to. You watched Kaeya walking around, you could see him limping as you approached to him.
"You still limping around... Are you sure you are in a state of working?" You asked as he smiled at you.
"I rested enough and I still have my responsibility as the Cavalry Captain. Besides, I already asked Barbara to heal the few wounds you put on me." You raised your eyebrows.
"So you did ended up going to Barbara. I wondered what excuses you used." He just huffed and crossed his arms.
"You really are mean. I had to make up a story because of you." He pouted as you rolled your eyes.
"This is what I get when you were the one who screaming wanting more. Anyways, I'll go around the city to help and see what I could do to help. Since you can't walk, how about you looked through the stack of the paperworks on Jean's table?" You asked as he smiled nervously.
"Well, I have things to... prepare. I'll ask Albedo instead to go through it instead. And I think that you should help with the three commissions, I'm afraid that it might not be handled with due care without Jean's personal touch. I would feel in ease if you went through them." He said as he took a seat and began to went through it.
You furrowed your eyebrows and felt sorry for Albedo that he had to overview the paperwork instead working on his experiment. You already knew what's going to happen next so you just go along with it. You went back to the Good Hunter and saw Amber and Sara having a conversation before noticing you were heading towards them.
You simply waved them a hello ae you approached towards them. "Don't worry! I'll get it under control." Amber smiled before Sara's sighed.
"Sara... What are you still stressed about? I'm an Outrider, and I won't disappoint!" Amber assured as you looked at Amber.
"I don't think that is what she worried about. I believe you must have encountered a new problem, haven't you?" Sara looked at you in surprised.
"In fact, you are right. Just now, I get a bizzare order, it was as if they were hosting a banquet." Sara stated as she looked quite distress.
"I'll handle it. I can cook quite well." You smiled as she looked at you in relief.
"Really! You don't mind helping? That would be wonderful! You really are the Good Hunter's guardian angel. I believe you are quite familiar with Sweet Madame, and we need like 3 of it. One for me to taste to make sure everything's fine and two for the orders." She said as you took out the ingredients from your inventory.
Amber began to leave to fulfill her duties as you tied your hair up, wearing the apron that Sara given to you and pushed your glasses up. You cook it in just a few seconds which shocked Sara before you presented on to her.
She couldn’t help but doubt a little about the cooking. "Wait... Did you make sure the chicken cooked?" You nodded before cut it a little to prove it to her before the smell of the sweet sauce filled in the air as her mouth watered at the smell.
"I don't get how are you able to cook this quick but that smells absolutely divine." She took a bite of it before her eyes lit up. "Whatever you just added inside the food, it taste as if it was made by a God's hands." She praised as you just rubbed your neck and laughed nervously.
"That's too much praises but I appreciate it." You smiled as she thought for awhile.
"Hmm, since you cook so well... You might as well take this Sticky Honey Roast, Invigorating Pizza, Pile 'Em Up next!" She suggested as she handed you the recipe as you went through it.
"Sure." You took out the ingredients and cooked them and gave it to her. She was overwhelmed by the delicious scent that came from the food. She took a bite of it.
"This is... Wow. Did you really cook this? This is quite simply astonishing. You were born to be a godly chef! Well thank you for your help!" She thanked you before you headed towards the Angel’s Share which wa
There you saw Lisa and Charles discussing some things as you approached towards them. "Is my help needed here?" You asked as Charles looked at you in relief.
"Y/N! You're arrived in time. I have a request that I needed your assistance with." Charles stated and you expected this much.
"I'm guessing you took an order and the delivery is behind schedule." You wanted to get it done quickly but Lisa and Charles were quite surprised by your guess.
"You know, you really are quite interesting one, cutie. That is an accurate guess." Lisa said in impressed tone with a smile on her face.
"Well you are right. If it's not too much trouble, could you go and do something about this logistical nuisance?" Charles asked as you nodded.
"I shall get it done quick." You immediately took out your phone and teleported near to the Dawn Winery before going through the Drunkard Gorge. You spotted someone who seems to be quite stuck at the middle of the road with hilichurls up ahead. You glided down and landed in front of him.
"So is this Charles' delivery that supposed to arrive soon?" The man looked at you in relief.
"Have you come to rescue me? I've been waiting long enough." He said as you gave him an assuring smile.
"Do not worry, sir. I'm here to help you. I see the hilichurls are giving you trouble but do not worry, I'll escort it and I won't let a scratch on it." You assured him as he let a sigh in relief.
"You looked quite reliable and please, I beg you. I don't have enough Mora to replace them. I'll wait up ahead." He said as you nodded before you watched him left as you heard the transport balloons started to move.
You followed the balloons before you saw few hilichurls was growlimg at you and was launching an attack on you. You decided to take this time to try using claymore and was about to swing your claymore before you hear a familiar voice.
"Odomu?" The hilichurl asked as the two hilichurls and you stopped before you recognized him.
"Mr. Hilichurl who asked for my steak... Olah, odomu! Beru si ye? (Hello, friend! What are you doing?)" You asked him as the transport stopped when you stopped walking.
"Olah, odomu. Mimi kundala. Mimi buka guru-guru. Mimi muhe mita. (Hello, friend. We planned to steal. We are hungry. We want some meat)" He said as he explained that the reason that they planned to steal is because the tribe hasn't eaten for days and can't hunt food since the hunters been interfering their hunt.
"I will give you some food for your tribe so please don't steal this one." You tried to convince them as he thought for awhile.
He agreed and told his friends to let you through as you went through the Gorge without a trouble and met up with Ernest once more. "Thank you, my friend. I thought I was in deep trouble this time, it's a good thing you showed up. I'll put in a good word for you with the gentlemen at the winery." He said with the friendliest smile and left with the transport balloon and heading towards Mondstadt.
You turned to the hilichurls who started to appear as you gave them a warmest smile. "As promised, take this bag of meats so that you guys don't have to starve yourself for awhile."
The hilichurls began to cheer as your hilichurl friend began to dance in pure happiness. "Valo, odomu. Lata movo mosi yoyo. (Thank you, friend. May the Hydro Archon brings you food.)" He said as he hugged you which took you by surprised.
You hugged him back before the hilichurl began to glow brightly without you were realizing and changing his form. When you broke the hug, your jaw dropped as the hilichurls that were eating began to drop their meat when they saw him changed into the least thing they expected.
".... Odomu?" You asked to confirm that it was the hilichurl you befriend with. He tilted his head in confusion.
"Ye?" He asked but not in the usual gruff voice. It was silvery voice that would ease people to sleep.
"Okay, hold on. What the fuck just happen?"
