(3RD POV)
[One week passed since Mona becomes Monstadt's resident... and a week since Mona knows about Musashi's dark past.]
Musashi: "Hmm~ 🎶"
Lumine: "Hmm~ 🎶"
[As for the trio, they are walking around the city. Paimon looks at Lumine and Musashi walks while holding hand.]
Paimon: "Hehe~ You really are get along."
Musashi: "Hmm? We are travel mate, right? Of course we are get along."
Lumine: "Hehe." (She is my girlfriend, after all.)
[Lumine seems happy as always when she got close with Musashi. And as they walk through... Adventurer's Guild's Desk...]
Katheryne: "Hello, Travelers. You couldn't have come at a better time."
[They were greeted by Katheryne. But, it seems something is wrong.]
Musashi: "What's up, Katheryne?"
Paimon: "What do you mean? Has something bad happened?"
Katheryne: "I'm afraid so. It's quite serious... We need all the help from our adventurers that we can get. So, I have an extremely urgent commission for you, Traveler."
[Katheryne told them what happened recently.]
Lumine: "So... What happened?"
Katheryne: "There was a meteor shower last night The strike zone was very large. Covering the entire countryside of Mondstadt and Liyue The meteorites seem to harbor a strange power... A power that sends any who touch them into a deep sleep. The Guild believes the meteorites to be highly dangerous."
[The trio seems amazed by this... incident.]
Musashi: "Dangerous meteorite?"
Lumine: "I never hear something like this before."
Paimon: "Whoa... That does sound pretty serious..."
Katheryne: "Truth be told, we have never encountered anything like this before. The Adventurers' Guild is currently stretched beyond capacity. We are relying on our members across the land to rally together and support the relief effort at this trying time.
[The trio happily accepts the request. After all... helping people is a daily job for them.]
Lumine: "Thank you for the info, Katheryne. I will surely do my part.
Musashi: "Thanks for the info! I'd better hop to it~"
[But... before they go...]
Katheryne: "One moment, safety must come first..."
????: "Katheryne! Vassal of the Immernachtreich, do mine ears deceive me, or didst thou cry out mine holy name in earnest supplication not one moment ago?"
Musashi: "Hm?"

-------------------- Chapter 32 -------------------
(Still 3RD POV)
[The trio looks at a young girl that walking towards them. She has fair skin and blonde hair that extends to the middle of her back. Her visible eye is light green. Over her left eye, she wears an eyepatch that is almost entirely covered by her bangs.]
Katheryne: "Ah, you've arrived."
[And they also saw a purple raven, with gray/white eyes and a prominent crest.]
Oz: "A pleasure to meet you again, Katheryne."
Paimon: "Ah! Did that raven just speak!?"
Lumine: "Another talking animal!?"
Musashi: "Believe me! Looking at a talking white snake is already weird! And this!?"
[That raven seems laughed at the trio. Then, he decides to greet them.]
Oz: "Haha~ nice to meet you too, my friend... Though I'm sure you must have seen phenomena far stranger than myself before?"
????: My loyal subjects, I see your faces are filled with fear and trepidation at the vile and villainous evils that once again seek, albeit in vain, to disturb the peace and tranquility of our beloved Mondstadt."
[And, the trio look at the girl dumbfounded.]
Lumine: "Uh..."
Musashi: "....What?"
[Katheryne just giggles softly as she introduce that girl to the trio.]
Katheryne: "Traveler, allow me to introduce Miss Fischl, a senior member of the Adventurers' Guild. Fischl, Oz, this is the Travelers of whom I have spoken to you previously."
Fischl: "Oh? You two are the Traveler? Hmm... One finds the look in your eyes to be most agreeable."
Oz: "Two Honorary Knight of the Knights of Favonius, and travel companion Paimon, we are honored to meet you both. We have heard much about you."
Fischl: "Traveler, do you also mean to confront these cryptic crystals of darkness and doom?"
[Fischl's way of talking is really making the trio confused.]
Musashi: (A chuunibyou!)
Paimon: "Uh... Cry-Crystic cryptals of... doomness and... What?"
Lumine: "Umm... Katheryne, is that the same thing you were talking about?"
Oz: "I believe that mein Fräulein does."
[Katheryne tries to explain how to do this job.]
Katheryne: "The Adventurers' Guild has so far been unable to ascertain the cause of the meteor shower, or the precise side effects of the meteorites. Hence, we recommend that adventurers travel in pairs for safety. Travelers, Fischl, please look out for one another on your journey, and exercise extreme caution at all times."
[And as usual, makes her Fishcl just stylized like chuunibyou. Making Musashi sweatdropped on the spot.]
Musashi: (Man... she makes me remember about an anime i watch with Osakabehime back at Chaldea.)
[And... she graciously accept the mission.]
Fischl: "Hm. Very well then. You have always been a pious vassal, Katheryne, and thus I shall acquiesce to your heartfelt plea for mine assistance. Rejoice! For to join the Prinzessin der Verurteilung on her majestic mission for but a fleeting moment is surely cause for an eternity of elation!"
[Really... her childish attitude really makes both Lumine and Musashi sweatdropped on the spot.]
Oz: "This young lady is my master, Princess Fischl. She hails from a world beyond known as Immernachtreich. I am mein Fräulein's humble familiar, Oz the Raven."
Paimon: "Wow... That all sounds very impressive..."
[Paimon decides to introduce herself and the duo to Fischl and Oz.]
Paimon: "My name's Paimon, and Musashi and Lumine are travelers. We look forward to working with you!"
[They both waves their hand to Oz and Fischl. But...]
Lumine: "Did you say... "a world beyond"?"
Musashi: "Immernachtreich..."? Never heard of that place before."
[Katheryne just smiles as she feels funny due to the duo's confusion.]
Katheryne: "In time, you will understand... The more time you spend with Miss Fischl, the clearer everything will become..."
Fischl: "Hmph, blind to the glory of the Immernachtreich, realm of everlasting night... Though, one could hardly expect more from a lowly traveler... Hence, it is not blasphemy, but ignorance, that be the cause of this transgression. One will therefore show clemency."
Paimon: "Clemency?"
Oz: "Mein Fräulein means to say: "Hello."
[Then, Paimon whispers to Musashi and Lumine.]
Paimon: "These guys are the weirdest double act Paimon's ever seen... The girl sounds strange enough as it is, but every time her pet bird talks, it gets even weirder..."
Lumine: "Uh... Ahaha~"
Musashi: "Believe me... i have seen much worse than this."
[Oz realized that the trio is talking something funny about him and Fischl. But, he just let it slide.]
Oz: "I am sure that you must have many questions. Perhaps we can walk - or indeed fly - and talk."
Paimon: "Oh, and that's another thing... What's all this about traveling in pairs? This is clearly a party of four!"
(30 minutes later...)
(Springvale...)
[Katheryne said that the closest impact site to the city is at Springvale. So, the group decide to investigate Springvale.]
Musashi: "Back at Springvale."
Paimon: "We're in Springvale now. Katheryne said that this is the closest impact site to the city."
Oz: "The situation looks even worse than we imagined."
[The group saw the village. Many people seems fall into deep sleep. It causing worry for both Musashi and Lumine.]
Lumine: "So many people have fainted."
Musashi: "Yeah."
Fischl: "Ring the bells, sound the trumpets, for the day of judgment is upon us! Rejoice, all ye who cry out for salvation, for the Prinzessin der Verurteilung has come!"
Paimon: "This princess lady seems really enthusiastic."
[Fischl walks closer to the people that still awake. She gracefully greet them with style. And... the trio begin to sweatdropped nervously.]
Fischl: "Dear mortals, in this dark hour, your Prinzessin permits you to forgo the usual etiquette and simply relay your account of the matter at hand forthrightly."
[The knights and villagers looks at Fischl. They feels confused.]
Joyce: "...Excuse me? Who are you?"
Oz: "We come in peace, good sir. We were just hoping that you could reveal whatever you know about this poor victim's situation."
[Paimon feels that is the wrong thing to say. So, she decides to intervene.]
Paimon: "Wait, wait! Stop, let Paimon explain... We're from the Adventurers' Guild. They commissioned us to and investigate after the meteor shower."
[Joyce quickly understand and try to explain what has been going on.]
Joyce: "Oh, I see. Well, last night, this fellow touched the meteorite and then she fainted just moments later. So, however you plan to conduct your investigation, I implore you: Do not, under any circumstances, touch the meteorites with your bare hands."
Fischl: "What ridiculous remonstration is this? Is one not under the divine protection of one's Edelstein der Dunkelheit, and thus impervious to the trifling threat posed by this petty piece of black crystal?"
Oz: "On the Contrary, mein Fräulein, wise is the princess who is receptive to the sound advice offered by her subjects."
Fischl: "Is that so... Very well then, one shall proceed as advised."
[The trio also decides to act!]
Paimon: "That goes for you, too, Lumine! Musashi! Wise is the adventurer who is receptive to the sound advice offered by smart people!"
[Both of Lumine and Musashi smile and salute to Paimon.]
Musashi/Lumine: "Sir! Yes! Sir!"
Paimon: "Ehehehe, Paimon never gets to talk like that! Oh, Paimon could get used to it, though..."
[On the other hand, Fischl seems offended by the duo's act.]
Fischl: "You dare to parrot the parlance of the Prinzessin!? Hmph! What could one hope to comprehend of the lamenting of a thousand dying world with the sagacity of a mere mortal? Perhaps it is better that you remain in blissful ignorance, for the burden of fate borne by the Prinzessin der Verurteilung would surely be too much for thy shoulders. Please lead the way, O fair Princess."
[So... they have a job to do now.]
Musashi: "Alright. Let us see what we can do. And try to find some info about this incident."
[And, the group agreed and they are looking at the Knights that taking care of the victims.]
Paimon: "Look, another victim!"
Fischl: "Pray tell, O Knight, what tragedy befell this unfortunate subject of mine?"
Adler: "Um... He- He's been sleeping all day and shows no signs of waking up."
Lumine: "Did he touch the meteorite?"
Adler: "He did. And now he's fast asleep, occasionally he also sleep-talks."
Musashi: "Say, Are there any other symptoms besides the deep sleep?"
Adler: "Not that I've seen so far, although occasionally he talks in his sleep."
Unconscious Victim: "Can't go on... n-need to rest..."
[The group hears the voice from the victims. Paimon is shocked a bit.]
Paimon: "Wh-What's going on? Why is he saying that?"
Fischl: "His dark dream harbors a forbidden fruit, poised between the jaws of a ferocious beast... Woe betide the weak should they peer into its eyes, as black as a moonless midnight, for they shall surely be lured into the abyss..."
Paimon: "Do you mean... There's something luring him in his dream?"
Oz: "Though we have no evidence to prove it, mein Fräulein's intuition has never failed her before."
Paimon: "Hmm... Well, let's keep investigating anyway!"
[And... the group continues their investigation. They decides to speak with the Nun that is taking care of the victims.]
Musashi: "Sister Edna!"
Edna: Greetings, Lady Musashi and friends! I am Sister Edna. I am here to nurse the sick."
Fischl: "State your name at once, you heinous heathen of nefarious nightmares!"
*PLAK!*
[Musashi slaps her own forehead as she starts to get annoyed by Fischl way of talking.]
Musashi: "Oh boy..."
Oz: "M-My apologies, mein Fräulein was not addressing you... This man lying on the ground - has he spoken at all?"
Edna: "I believe he said something about having to get back to work..."
[Then, they hears the victims murmuring something.]
Hartman: "The wine... The wine..."
Musashi: "Wine?"
Lumine: "So he works in the wine business?"
Oz: "He seems to be sleeping deeply indeed."
Fischl: "This is no ordinary dream... This man... he has been cursed!"
[The trio and sister Edna just sweatdropped. They try to ignores Fischl's claim.]
Paimon: "Can't you just wake him up?"
Edna: "I have tried. He awoke once, for a brief moment, but quickly lapsed back into sleep."
Paimon: "Um... Did he tell you anything while he was awake?"
Edna: "He said he dreamed he was on top of a mountain, and it was very cold there."
[And that is something weird for that man to say. The group try to find out what that means.]
Paimon: "Hmm... Mountain, cold... Hmm..."
Fischl: "This has the trappings of a cruel, cold curse by a mountain-dwelling demon... Alas! One fears these demons have descended from their icy peaks and now covet the domain of the spring fairy! This is a most grave state of affairs... But fear not, for damnation is mine to dispense-"
????: "Sorry to interrupt you, folks - do you have a moment to spare?"
[But, Fischl's words cut off by...]
Musashi: "Mr. Draff!"
Lumine: "Greetings!"
Paimon: "Oh, hey, Draff! What's the matter?"
Draff: "It's... I-I can hardly get the words out..."
Musashi: "Is it about meteorite?"
Draff: "One of the meteorites struck the hill behind our village. Allan told everyone he was going to go see it for himself... And then, sure enough, he just ran off. You've seen how dangerous these confounded meteorites are. I'm afraid something may have happened to him... Could you come with me to find him and bring him back?"
[So, Allan hasn't come back yet. The group seems agreed to help Draff to find him.]
Paimon: "Wait, so... Big blazing rocks fall out of the sky, and all Allen's worried about is missing out on the action!?"
Draff: "Exactly! Once we get that rascal back safely, he's due for the scolding of a lifetime, if you ask me!"
Paimon: "Paimon could not agree more! Let's go find that rascal and drag him back by the ears!"
Musashi: "Alright! Let's find him!"
[And, the group and Draff walks a bit far from the village. And when they saw Allan... He's being surrounded by Hilichurls!]
Paimon: "That's him!"
Draff: "Allan! What in the devil are you doing!?"
Paimon: "These Hilichurls are so vicious! Do you think it has to do with the meteorite?"
Fischl: The hour of judgement has come! The threads of your fate lie in my-"
*WUSH!!* *SLASH!!* *SLASH!!*
Fischl : "!!!"
Lumine: (That's my girl!)
[And... before Fischl finished... Musashi dashed and kill Hilichurls around Allan in just two strikes! Fischl and Oz shocked when they saw Musashi's power and speed.]
Fischl: (This human...)
Oz: (So... the rumors are true.)
[Then, Musashi sheathes her sword, and look back at Fischl.]
Musashi: "In your what, Your Majesty?"
[Then, Fischl blushed after being teased by Musashi.]
Fischl: "Hmph! I don't need a help from a nameless samurai!"
Oz: "Mein Fräulein means to say: "Thank you."
Fischl: "Oz!"
[Lumine and Paimon giggles by Fischl's reaction after being teased by Musashi. As for Allan...]
Allan: "Phew! I thought I was going to die here..."
Draff: "You fool! What were you thinking, gallivanting off on your own at a time like this!?"
Allan: "I-I'm sorry! I'll never do it again!"
[Then, Draff looks at the group as he feels glad.]
Draff: "I sincerely apologize for the trouble Allan has caused for you all. I will make absolutely sure that he learns his lesson!"
Paimon: "Yeah, next time you think about doing something stupid, think again!"
[The group looks a big meteorite near their location.]
Lumine: "The meteorite is just over there."
Paimon: "Paimon's gonna take a closer loo- Huh? Princess, your Vision is flashing!"
[Fischl's vision is flashing by itself. This is the first they saw this.]
Fischl: "Oh? Could it be, perchance, that mine Edelstein der Dunkelheit portends the certain demise of this unholy hex of cold?"
Paimon: "Maybe...? What kind of things does your Vision react to, exactly?"
Fischl: "The profoundest of enigmas... the whispered secrets of the stars... unholy hexes of demon bones... and-"
[Paimon can't take it anymore! Fischl's way of talking is way to weird even for her and Lumine and Musashi.]
Paimon: "Whaaat? Why do you have to talk so funny all the time, Paimon doesn't understand!"
Oz: "Our apologies, mein Fräulein is not well-versed in the parlance of the common folk."
Paimon: "Oooh, so that's what you're for? To translate?"
Oz: "I fear you misunderstand - I am no translator, but a humble conveyor of mein Fräulein's royal will. I would venture that what her Vision is reacting to in this vicinity is, quite simply, elemental energy."
[Musashi and Lumine just laughed nervously as they both witnessing a stupid debate between Paimon and Oz. But, before it got worse... Fischl just cleared her throat.]
Fischl: "Ahem, thank you, Oz. Those whose minds are muddled by the mundane matters of this woeful world are unable to fathom my noble intent as swiftly as thou art..."
Paimon: "So, there's elemental energy in the meteorite? And your Vision flashes in response to it?"
Lumine: "With a Vision, can you trace the elemental energy back to its source?"
Musashi: "Shouldn't the source of the energy also respond in like fashion?"
[Paimon seems got a small idea about dealing with those shards of meteorite.]
Paimon: "Paimon thinks... probably yes? Anyway, no harm in giving it a try! Let's look for shards of meteorite using Fischl's Vision - clearing them away will help make the area less dangerous."
[So, the group use Fischl's Vision to clear those shard. After 30 minutes they got all of the shard.]
Paimon: "That seems to be the last of them. Do you think getting rid of them will help make things better for the Springvale villagers?"
Oz: "The question is, are these shards of meteorite, which are infused with elemental energy, the true source of the calamity, or not?"
Fischl: "Verily, I say, these meteorites are surely the source of the nefarious nightmares that assail my subjects! This I swear on my very sovereignty."
[Again, the trio sweatdropped because of Fischl's way of talking. Musashi sighed a bit.]
Musashi: "Before Fischl's way of talking got worse... Shall we check in with the villagers, then?"
Fischl: "Hey!"
Paimon: "Yeah, let's do that!"
Lumine: "Alright, let us go back!"
[The group manages to get rid of those shards. They decide yo go back to Springvale.]
Paimon: "Edna! We got rid of the meteorite up on the hill behind the village. How are the victims doing now? Any better?"
Edna: "Bless you! Thanks to your efforts, two of the victims have already awoken."
[They all see the victims has waken up from their long sleep.]
Hartman: "Ugh... I'm so sleepy..."
Musashi: "So, everything is fine out here."
Paimon: "Great, so it did work!"
Edna: "I do hope you are able to dispose of the rest of the meteorites around the village..."
Lumine: "Then everyone else will wake up, too!"
Oz: "This is wonderful news, it gladdens the heart."
[Then, Fischl laughes proudly.]
Fischl: "Haha, it is most gladdening, indeed. Yet the news that I would be attending to this matter in person was surely the only guarantee that my faithful subjects ever needed of a felicitous outcome!"
[And... they just ignoring her. So, Paimon decides to ask the victim.]
Paimon: "Hey, you just woke up, right? What were you dreaming about while you were asleep?"
Hartman: "All I remember is that it was cold... I was walking along a mountain path... In the ice and snow, I think..."
Paimon: "So... Just hiking in the mountains? Or were you supposed to have a destination?"
Hartman: "Ah, I really don't know... In my dream, it felt like... I wasn't in full control of my actions."
Fischl: "Then thou wert surely cursed, I say! O, wretched scourge upon this land..."
[As Fischl say "curse", Lumine can feel that there is a chance about that possibility.]
Lumine: (A curse? Could it really be?)
Musashi: "...."
Paimon: "Well, whatever the case, what we do know is that getting rid of the meteorite shards is helping. So, c'mon guys, we need to redouble our efforts!"
[After a while passed... the group walks to greet Draff.]
Paimon: "Draff! How are things in the village now?"
Draff: "Ah, it's you again! A little better, thanks - and we owe it all to you."
Paimon: "That's great! Seems like getting rid of the meteorites is doing the trick!"
Fischl: "Traveler, your arrival is most fortuitous. Clearly, my noble ambition to protect the souls of this wretched world compelled you to seek me once more. Now, prepare to depart, for we are soon to meet with an envoy of mine further afield."
[The trio is confused by this... "envoy".]
Musashi: "Huh? Envoy?"
Paimon: "Envoy? You mean... a diplomat, or something?"
Draff: "Ah, yes... let me fill you in here. Someone brought a message from the Dawn Winery, saying that a lady there by the name of Adelinde invites you to meet with her as honored guests of the Winery."
[And, the trio knows who is Adelinde.]
Paimon: "Oh, we know Adelinde! She's the head housemaid there, right?"
Musashi: "Yeah! She is Master Diluc's head housemaid."
Draff: "Ah. It seems that you and Adelinde are already acquainted, then."
Oz: "Then it is my great honor to join you."
[Paimon slowly whispers to Lumine and Musashi.]
Paimon: "Hey, so... Lumine, Slime's Lover... can you really understand that princess when she's talking? Because Paimon can't seem to understand a single word..."
Lumine: "I think I understand what she means, but..."
Musashi: "Believe me, Paimon... It's kind of hard to explain..."
[Paimon just sighed in defeat for a second.]
Paimon: "Alright, alright..."
Oz: "My dear friends, it is time to move out."
Paimon: "Paimon hopes Adelinde has made some tasty snacks to welcome her honored guests with!"
Musashi: "Okay! Let's do this!"
Lumine/Paimon: "OOHH!!"
(1 hour later... Dawn Winery...)
[It took an hour for the group to walk from Springvale Village to Dawn Winery. As they arrived... Adelinde is waiting for their arrival.]
Adelinde: "Welcome to the Dawn Winery, dear adventurers. I am Adelinde, the head housemaid, and it is I who invited you all here."
Paimon: "Thanks for the invite!"
[Then, Fischl looks at Adelinde intently. And...]
Fischl: "You are Adelinde? Splendid! I am delighted to grant you the honor of joining me for afternoon tea."
Oz: "Dearest Adelinde, on behalf of Her Majesty, Ms. Fischl, the Prinzessin der Verurteilung, and I, mein Fräulein's humble servant, thank you for inviting us-"
*WUSH!*
Oz: "WHOA!!!"
Musashi: "Just shut up, will ya?"
[Musashi throws Oz away as she really annoyed by Oz's long introduction.]
Lumine: "Uh... Ahaha~"
Paimon: "Ugh, would you cut to the chase already!? Your titles are so wordy, it takes way too long to introduce yourselves!"
Adelinde: "My goodness... an adventurer of such distinguished status..."
[And, as usual... Fischl talks with gracious.]
Fischl: "My pale-faced proselyte, how dare you interrupt a diplomat of the royal court in the middle of his speech!"
Lumine: "Thanks for inviting us over for tea."
Musashi: "Why did you call for us? Has something bad happened?"
[Adelinde sighed a little as she really need some help.]
Adelinde: "In fact, one of our employees here at the Dawn Winery, Mr. Hartman, fell victim to the meteorite incident in Springvale."
Musashi: "Oh boy..."
Adelinde: "I hear that you were the ones who disposed of the meteorites. Thanks to you, Mr. Hartman is now awake. We are in your debt. It is merely common courtesy that I should invite you over for tea. This aside... There is a separate matter which I should like to enlist your help with."
[And as usual... the trio always eager to help.]
Musashi: "You can count on us, Miss Adelinde."
Lumine: "We love to help."
Paimon: "Aw, you're too kind, Adelinde! We were really just doing what any other adventurers would have done."
Fischl: :You may now kneel before your Prinzessin and make effusive display of your thanks for the favor that I have generously shown to thee and thy Winery kin. Take heart, my dear servants, for the glory of my majesty will flash eternal in the Vale of Springdom!"
*PLAK!*
[For second time, Musashi smacked her own forehead as she is really... REALLY had enough with Fischl's weird way of talking.]
Musashi: "Flash eternal"? Isn't that a bit of an oxymoron?"
Paimon: "Paimon wants to have a try this time! Umm... So what she's trying to say is... "You're welcome"?"
[At the same time, Oz finally returned.]
Oz: "I applaud your powers of comprehension, my dear Paimon. You decipher mein Fräulein's royal utterances with remarkable ease... And Lady Musashi... please don't throw me again like that."
[Musashi just laughes softly. Then, Lumine decides to ask what Adelinde need.]
Lumine: "What is it that you need our help with, Miss Adelinde?"
Adelinde: "The business of the Winery reaches not only to all of Mondstadt, but to all the corners of Liyue, too. Some of our workers do regular deliveries back and forth between the two regions, a single round trip taking several days in total. Two of our delivery staff were due back yesterday, but as of this moment, I still have no contact from them at all. I worry that they became trapped somewhere when the meteorites struck... The Winery is short-staffed at present, and I cannot afford to look for them myself. As audacious as it may be... all I can do is ask you for assistance."
[And... they agreed to help!]
Paimon: "Okie-dokie, don't you worry, Adelinde! We're expert on finding people!"
Adelinde: "Wonderful! I suggest you begin by asking around at Stone Gate - all delivery staff pass through there on their return from Liyue.
Adelinde: There were two carts in total, and the workers' names are Fritz and Ben."
Musashi: "We will do everything in our power to find them."
Lumine: "Don't you worry, we will find them."
(Sometimes Later... Between Dihua Marsh and Stone Gate...)
[After they reaches Stone Gate they have meet Ben and agreed to help him find his cart... and also finding Fritz. It is said.. between Dihua Marsh and Stone Gate. Now, they are insvestigating the broken cart... with...]
Fischl: "Lead the way, my pale-faced proselyte! For a sharp pain now afflicts Mein Auge der Verurteilung..."
Paimon: "Is the guy on the floor sleeping?"
[They found a man sleeping on the floor, he was accompanied by a mysterious man.]
Musashi: "The meteorite..."
Paimon: "Yeah. Looks like he touched the meteorite, just like the others..."
????: "If by "meteorite" you mean the rock that struck the cart - worry not, I have dealt with that already using my magic. But by "others," do you mean to say, there are others who have fallen into a similar slumber?"
Fischl: "One has witnessed with one's own Auge der Verurteilung the nightmarish slumber that proceeds fourth from the Valley of Demonbone... It has caused great suffering for the humble peasants in the Vale of Springdom, many of whom still battle this wretched affliction even as we speak."
Oz: "As mein Fräulein most eloquently describes, we have just come from Mondstadt, where many people have also fallen into an unwaking sleep. Their symptoms are identical to those of this poor gentlemen here."
[Musashi and Lumine sighed nervously. On the other hand, the mysterious man feels intrigued by this meteorite.]
????: "Is that so... It appears these meteorites really made quite an impact."
Paimon: "Seems this guy is dressed like a Winery worker... and we've already met Ben - so this must be Fritz!"
Oz: "Given that worker's attire has precious few distinguishing features, I must conclude that Paimon is blessed with exceptionally acute eyesight."
Paimon: "Actually, Paimon's eyesight is normal, Paimon just has really great memory! You're right, though, his clothes don't really stand out that much... Especially not compared to this guy over here.
[That mysterious man just laughed for a second, and...]
????: "Haha, and by "this guy over here," you mean me?"
Paimon: "Yep! Paimon's never seen anyone dressed quite like you before."
Lumine: "That huge hat is quite unique."
Musashi: "And those unique clothes are quite beautiful."
????: "I am a vagrant from Inazuma. I had just stopped to assist this poor gentlemen when you turned up. Are you investigating the aftermath of the meteorite strike?"
Paimon: "Yeah we were sent to help out."
[At this chance... Fischl decides to introduce herself... elegantly.]
Fischl: "I am Fischl, Prinzessin der Verurteilung, responding to the cry of my people in their hour of need!"
Oz: "I am mein Fräulein's humble familiar, Oz the Raven."
Paimon: "And Paimon is an Honorary Knight of the Knights of the Favonius's best friend."
[Then, the mysterious man looks at Lumine.]
????: "Oh? Then you must be said Honorary Knight of said Knights of Favonius."
Lumine: "Yes, I'm the Honorary Knight."
[Then, he looks at Musashi.]
????: "And you must be the rumored Samurai from Inazuma? The rumor say that you are the strongest."
[Musashi just shakes her head.]
Musashi: "Nah... It's just a rumor. No need for you to believe it."
????: "....."
Fischl: Behold, my people, you beloved sovereign in the flesh! Do not despair, for judgment by Thundering Retribution is nigh, and it shall surely purge the seeds of nefarious nightmares that now sow chaos across the land!
???: Um... Excuse me?
Paimon: Don't mind her, just... y'know, let her do her thing.
Icon Dialogue Talk.png She's a good egg, really.
[Then, they all saw a Millelith runs towards them.]
Niu Zhi: "Excuse me! What's going on here?"
Paimon: "Oh, great - good thing you're here, Mr. Millelith. This guy's fast asleep, and he won't wake up!"
[The Millelith is looking at the man. And, he decides to take action.]
????: "Ah, it appears this is now in the hands of the Millelith - in which case, I am no longer needed. It was truly a pleasure to meet you all. I have other matters to attend to now, so I shall take my leave. Adventurers... I wish you every success in your endeavors."
Paimon: "Bye-bye~!"
[As that man walks away... He walks through Musashi. She glanced at him... She saw his evil and sadistic smile.]
Musashi: "....."
[And after that man left... Makoto appears in her ghost form.]
Musashi: (Makoto...)
Makoto: "He will bring more harm than good."
Musashi: (Do you think... he cannot be trusted?)
Makoto: "I can sense his evil power... I also sense his hatred."
Musashi: (That means... sooner or later... that man will become our enemy.)
Makoto: "By then... We must be ready."
[Makoto goes back to Musashi's heart. And now... back to work.]
Paimon: "So, what happened was, we came here looking for someone, and found them..."
(Later... At Wangshu Inn...)
[After their investigation at Dihua Marsh and Stone Gate, the group seems worried about Fritz. So, they decides to go to Wangshu Inn, where are victims are being treated. And after looking at the tents that treat the victims... They decides to ask the innkeeper.]
Paimon: "Excuse us, have you seen anyone come in that looks like an ordinary worker from Mondstadt?"
Huai'an: "The Millelith arrived with several new victims not long ago. Due to the limited capacity in the tent, I had them place the new arrivals in the upstairs guest rooms."
[The group feels glad that Frizt should be okay.]
Paimon: "Okay, well could you give him a message when he wakes up? Tell him he needs to get back to the Dawn Winery as soon as possible, and let Adelinde know that he's safe and sound."
Huai'an: "I will be more happy to. And if I may be so bold, adventurers, I too have a request for you."
Oz: "Please tell us, what is troubling you?"
Fischl: "Pray tell of thy troubles, that one might better understand them."
[Huai'an decides to ask the group to lend their hand to help him and Wangshu Inn.]
Huai'an: "I understand from the Millelith soldiers that you are investigating the meteorite strike. This made me wonder, perhaps my friends from Mondstadt have already found a means of curing the victims?"
Paimon: "From what we've seen so far, all you need to do is get rid of the meteorites and the sleepers wake back up again."
Huai'an: "Is that so... Then, if I understand you correctly, the meteorites are the cause of the victims' unconsciousness?"
[Paimon nods swiftly.]
Paimon: "Yep!"
Huai'an: "In that case, I would like to enlist your services in that regard. Do you think you can dispose of the meteorites in the vincinity of the inn?"
[Both Musashi and Lumine nods as they agree to help.]
Musashi: "If we can find them, we can get rid of them."
Lumine: "As long as you can tell us the locations of the meteorites."
Huai'an: "Wonderful! You have my gratitude."
[As they walks outside the Wangshu Inn... they found... a big meteorite near the sea.]
Fischl: "What is that!?"
Paimon: "This meteorite is way bigger than the others!"
Musashi: "It seems... we have to destroy it. Help me with this, Lumine."
Lumine: "Yeah..."
[Lumine and Musashi takes out their weapon, and...]
Musashi/Lumine: "HAH!!"
*SLASH!* *CRASH!*
[With double slash... that meteorite just fall into pieces.]
Paimon: "Paimon worries that the bigger the meteorite, the more powerful it is... Let's see if there's any more left."
[They have searching and destroying Meteorite around Wangshu Inn area. They just destroy a lot of it... until... they spot the last meteorite.]
Musashi: "This must be the last one."
Lumine: "Alright... Let's-"
[But, a bunch Of Fatui comes to attack them.]
Musashi: "What the...?"
Paimon: "The Fatui? What are they doing here?"
Lumine: "We have to defeat them and destroy the meteorite!"
Musashi: "Let's do this!"
*BANG!* *BANG!* *TANG!*
[Some Fatui fire their guns at Musashi, but it was deflected. Fischl were impressed.]
Fischl: "Oho~ Not bad for a samurai."
Oz: "Miss Musashi is indeed strong."
*WUSH!* *WUSH!*
[Fischl decides to help by letting out some arrow of Electro towards the Fatui.]
Fischl: "HAA!!!"
*ZLEB!* *ZLEB!*
[Fischl's arrows manages to hit the Fatui. But the attack is still not done yet!]
Lumine: "HAAAA!!!"
*SMACK!*
[Lumine kicks the grounds with her fist... And an earthquake happened.]
Fatui Skrimisher "W-What!?"
*BOOOMMM!!!*
Fatui: "AARRGGHH!!!"
[Suddenly, the enemies were blown up into the air by the impact of the ground. And...]
Lumine: "Musashi!"
*WUSH!*
*BZZT~* *BZZT~*
[Musashi jumps to the air. Her katanas flowed with Electro elements. And...]
Musashi: "EAT THIS!!!"
*SLASH!* *SLASH!* *SLASH!*
[With Musashi's electro slash... The Fatui has been defeated and the meteorite is also got destroyed.]
Musashi: "Done!"
Lumine: "Alright!"
[Then, those Fatui starts to retreat.]
Fatui Skirmisher: "This doesn't end here! A Harbinger is nearby, you'll get what's coming to you soon enough!"
[Those Fatui runs away from the group. And, it seems this incident has something to do with Fatui.]
Paimon: "So the Fatui are investigating the meteorites as well? Even the Harbingers? This is too strange... We need to be extra cautious."
Fischl: "The seeds of nefarious nightmares appear to have taken firm root... Though my magic arrow of midnight purges the in an instant, they return with a vengeance.., Hmph, it would make a mockery of the majesty of the Prinzessin der Verurteilung!"
Oz: "Indeed, mein Fräulein. Despite our best efforts to dispose of the meteorites, they continue to fall relentlessly in each corner of your domain, in which case, I fear..."
[This situation is becoming weird. Something... Something is not right about this.]
Paimon: "The strikes are happening faster than we can get rid of them."
Lumine: "I think we need to find another solution."
Musashi: "I agree with Lumine."
[Then... Fischl... as always...]
Fischl: "I, Fischl von Luftschloss Narfidort, have traversed a thousand worlds - and yet, never before have I faced such a formidable foe. This menace is neither monster nor magic... It is a curse, a curse has been placed upon the mortal realm."
Paimon: "A curse!?"
Fischl: "Such a foul curse could only arise as a consequence of the continuous cries of unanswered longing, lost amidst the unpredictability and impermanence of fate..."
Oz: "How very tragic. Is this the inevitable fate of mankind? It grieves me greatly, no matter how many times I hear of it."
[And... Paimon didn't quite understand what is Fischl saying just now.]
Paimon: "Paimon didn't quite get the part about the thing being lost inside the other thing, but basically... These meteorites are a curse?"
Fischl: "Were they not a curse upon humanity, why then should they send humans into slumber? To be lost twixt life and death in an unending dream... 'tis the most dreadful fate imaginable for any living being."
[Both Lumine and Musashi thought about this curse as a new possibility. But, they seems not sure about this "curse".]
Musashi: (Could what Fischl says really be true?)
Lumine: (The nightmares affecting the sleepers... is it really a curse?)
Fischl: "We must underestimate the magnitude of this matter no more! I fear this sinister force can withstand even the sum of all our power combined. Traveler, fetch me the one fated to face this fearsome foe!"
[In other words... Fischl need one more assistant.]
Paimon: "And who might that be?"
Oz: "Mein Fräulein is one of the opinion that one with the requisite expertise should be summoned to deal with the matter. She wonders if you know of any persons skilled in the undoing of curses?"
[As the trio thinks about that person... no one comes into mind.]
Lumine: "I'm not sure."
Musashi: "Same here."
Paimon: "Um... Umm... Ugh! Paimon can't think of anybody either! Maybe we should just go ask Katheryne?"
[Musashi sighed a bit.]
Musashi: "Well... i guess we should head back to the city and ask Katheryne for help."
Lumine: "Yeah... i agree."
(Back to Monstadt City...)
[As they finally got back to the city... they swiftly asked Katheryne for help.]
Fischl: "Katheryne, the hour of destiny is upon you! I have invoked the sacred covenant between us, and now you must respond to the call."
Katheryne: "Let me see... Are you saying you require an assistant?"
Paimon: "Whoa, she got it in one! Katheryne must be super smart."
Musashi: "Um... You know anyone with expertise in curses or dark magic, Miss Katheryne?
Katheryne: "Unfortunately not. Though I do know of an astrologist. As it happens, the traveling astrologist Mona is currently in Mondstadt. Do you know her?"
Musashi: "Eh?"
