Mondstadt.
Knights of Favonius Headquarters.
There's surprisingly little to do today...
Sitting in her office at the Knights of Favonius Headquarters, Jean found that she had a rare lack of work, which made her want to do something else.
But after thinking about it, she couldn't come up with anything good to do.
After all, she was always busy on a normal day. Suddenly having free time, she really didn't know what to do.
Oh, right...
Lord Anemo Archon...
I should go and discuss some matters regarding Mondstadt with Lord Anemo Archon...
Suddenly thinking of Lord Anemo Archon, Jean immediately had a plan.
Now that Lord Anemo Archon has appeared, she could exchange some insights on governing Mondstadt with her.
Although Lord Anemo Archon would certainly not interfere with Mondstadt's governance, it would still be good to ask for her opinion.
With this plan in mind, Jean glanced out the window and stood up from her seat.
"What is it, Jean?"
Standing by the bookshelf, Lisa heard the movement and looked up from her book, watching Jean with some surprise.
Usually at this time, Jean would be sitting at her desk handling all sorts of matters, rarely getting up.
"I'm going to find the Anemo Archon now to discuss a few things."
Jean replied as she passed by Lisa.
"In that case, I'll let you know if anything comes up here."
Nodding in understanding, Lisa said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll be leaving for a bit then."
After saying that, Jean walked out of the office.
-------------------
-------------------
Kaito's residence.
"Lord Anemo Archon should be awake by now, right? But..."
As she was about to reach her destination, Jean couldn't help but recall the last time she saw Lord Anemo Archon.
That time, Lord Anemo Archon had taken a bath early in the morning, looking as if she had done... 'that sort of thing' with her boyfriend.
Lord Anemo Archon wouldn't be... that frequent, would she...
Thinking this silently, Jean could now see Lord Anemo Archon's residence.
However, besides seeing the residence, she also saw Gothe.
Collecting rent, perhaps...
Jean subconsciously guessed and walked over.
"Well if it isn't Acting Grand Master Jean. This is a rare sight."
Just then, Gothe turned his head and also saw Jean.
"Are you here to collect rent?"
"No, I'm here to take back the house."
Looking at the Acting Grand Master, Gothe shook his head.
"Take back the house?" Jean hadn't expected Gothe to be repossessing the house; she was a bit surprised.
"That's right. A tenant has moved out."
As he spoke, Gothe walked toward the house where Kaito lived.
"Wait, are you saying the person living in this house moved out???" Jean was shocked.
Lord Anemo Archon's boyfriend actually moved out???
Then where is he going???
A series of questions flooded her mind. Jean had no idea what had happened.
"Yes. It seems this guest has gone to Liyue, so he terminated the lease."
Not noticing the surprised expression on Jean's face, Gothe answered her question leisurely.
Liyue?
Lord Anemo Archon left with him???
"Did the Anemo... no, I mean, did the girlfriend of the young man who lives here leave with him?"
"Yes, it was that young lady who came to terminate the lease with me." Gothe, his back to Jean, nodded.
Why didn't Lord Anemo Archon tell me...
Could it be that Lord Anemo Archon is only leaving for a few days...
No...
If she were only going for a few days...
There would be no need to give up the house...
For a moment, many thoughts raced through Jean's mind, but she still couldn't figure out what was going on.
Oh, right...
Suddenly remembering an important question she hadn't asked, Jean spoke up: "So when did they leave for Liyue? This morning?"
"Oh, that. It wasn't long ago. About an hour ago, I'd say."
Turning back, Gothe looked at Jean, finding it a bit strange that she was so concerned about this, and added, "Did something happen, Acting Grand Master?"
"No, I just didn't expect them to leave so suddenly." Jean shook her head.
"I see."
"Then I'll be going now."
After saying this, Jean left the area.
Since Lord Anemo Archon had already left, there was no longer any need for her to linger here.
However, she was still quite concerned that Lord Anemo Archon had left without a word.
Of course, it wasn't that she felt Lord Anemo Archon had to stay in Mondstadt forever, but she thought she should at least have a way to contact her.
After all, only then could she immediately inform Lord Anemo Archon if any important matters arose in Mondstadt.
Liyue...
I wonder what Lord Anemo Archon is doing in Liyue...
But...
It could also be that her boyfriend went to Liyue for something, and Lord Anemo Archon followed him...
Walking back to her office, Jean couldn't help but ponder why Lord Anemo Archon had gone to Liyue.
Lord Anemo Archon isn't going to disappear for a long time again like before, is she...
The thought of Lord Anemo Archon having been gone for so many years before made Jean very worried.
Although Mondstadt had managed on its own for all those years, having Lord Anemo Archon as a final safeguard was still very important, just like the incident with La Signora.
So...
I need to find a way to contact Lord Anemo Archon at any time, before she disappears for a long time like she did last time?
After much thought, Jean decided she absolutely had to find a way to contact Lord Anemo Archon whenever needed.
Even if Lord Anemo Archon was just next door in Liyue, she had to do this.
After all, she's in Liyue now, but who knows where she'll be next time.
Hmm...
I'll write a letter to the Tianquan, Ningguang...
As she reached the door of her office in the Knights of Favonius Headquarters, Jean decided to write a letter to Ningguang, the Tianquan of Liyue, to explain the situation and ask for her help in conveying her thoughts to Lord Anemo Archon.
Creeak—
Opening the door, Jean hurried to her seat. She was going to write to Ningguang right now.
"Back so soon, Jean?"
Lisa, surprised that Jean had returned so quickly, looked up from her book again.
She had originally thought Jean would take at least a little more time before coming back, but here she was already.
"Lord Anemo Archon has gone to Liyue. I'm planning to write a letter to the Tianquan of Liyue."
"Liyue? Does Lord Anemo Archon have business in Liyue?"
Like Jean, Lisa clearly hadn't expected this either.
Moreover, she had another question: she wondered why Jean was writing a letter to the Tianquan of Liyue.
"I don't know. That's why I want to ask the Tianquan of Liyue for help in finding out, and also to hopefully establish a way to contact Lord Anemo Archon."
Jean shook her head and then explained why she was writing the letter.
