To stun them...

It seems I'll need to make some preparations beforehand...

Because the mission requires stunning someone, Kaito felt he needed to set the stage before the next attempt.

Or, during the next attempt, it wouldn't be as simple as just a kiss on the cheek.

In any case, he had to stun someone.

Next time... I'll try it in front of Lumine...

Looking towards Starfell Valley, Kaito already had an idea in mind.

Since Lumine's name appeared in the mission description, it meant she would most likely be key to completing the mission.

Plus, she now believed Wendy was the Anemo Archon, so to stun her, he would have to leverage this identity as the Anemo Archon.

A deity loving a human might easily stun ordinary people, but it might not be so easy for Lumine, so he'd need to add more to it.

OK... I'll go meet her first...

After some thought, Kaito decided to go to Starfell Valley and introduce himself to Lumine; this was the first step of his plan.

Thinking this, Kaito walked towards Starfell Valley.

As for Wendy, she wouldn't appear in front of Lumine for now.

-------------------------------------

Starfell Valley.

"What? You said you just saw the Anemo Archon?"

Upon arriving at Starfell Valley, Kaito heard Amber's very surprised voice.

It seems they had already met here...

And they seemed to be discussing the Anemo Archon...

After clarifying the current situation, Kaito pretended to just be passing by.

"Kaito."

Suddenly seeing Kaito appear, Amber called out to him and waved.

She saw me...

Turning his head, Kaito also waved back at Amber, then walked towards her.

"Are these your friends?"

Stopping beside Amber, Kaito asked, looking at Lumine and Paimon.

"No, we just met them; they seem to be..."

"Travelers."

Before Amber could finish speaking, Paimon had already interjected and said it for her.

"Oh right, Travelers, they are Travelers." Nodding, Amber then remembered what Lumine had just said, "By the way, did you really see the Anemo Archon just now? But you've only just arrived in Mondstadt; how would you know what the Anemo Archon looks like?"

As she spoke, Amber's tone was filled with doubt.

To be honest, she didn't really believe Lumine and Paimon had genuinely seen the Anemo Archon.

After all, the venerable Anemo Archon had left Mondstadt a thousand years ago; how could two outlanders suddenly encounter him? It was almost impossible.

"It's true, we really saw the Anemo Archon, we're not lying."

Seeing Amber didn't believe them, Paimon grew a little anxious.

"Then let me ask, why do you think you saw the Anemo Archon? Is it because the person you saw could control wind? Or could she fly?"

Listening to their discussion from the side, Kaito decided to guide them.

"Yes, yes, yes, what this Kaito says is right! The girl we just saw not only flew directly in the sky but could also control fierce winds, and finally even transformed into wind and disappeared."

Upon hearing Kaito recount everything she and Lumine had witnessed, Paimon, as if remembering something important, nodded like a pecking chick.

You see, ordinary people can't do these things, so that girl must indeed be the Anemo Archon.

"And she even admitted she was the Anemo Archon."

At this, Lumine added a sentence.

"Hmm... so what you're saying is all true?"

After hearing Paimon and Lumine's words, Amber wavered a bit.

After all, ordinary people truly couldn't do what they had just described.

However, she also knew that what they had just said had only been witnessed by themselves, and no one could prove it was true.

"Of course it's true!" At this, Paimon sounded utterly convinced.

"In that case, it seems the Anemo Archon has manifested. However, the last time the Anemo Archon appeared was a thousand years ago; you might have to wait another thousand years to see them again. You're truly very lucky."

Finding his strategy effective, Kaito deliberately mentioned that the Anemo Archon hadn't appeared in a long time.

He knew that saying this would make Lumine and Paimon want to find the Anemo Archon quickly.

Although he said they might have to wait another thousand years to see the Anemo Archon again, they would definitely try to look, because perhaps the Anemo Archon hadn't left yet.

"What? A thousand years?"

Hearing what Kaito said, Lumine was startled. She hadn't expected Mondstadt's Anemo Archon only appeared once every thousand years.

In that case, had she already missed the Anemo Archon?

No... I have to find that Anemo Archon quickly... She knows about my brother...

At this moment, Lumine was getting anxious, but looking left and right in this unfamiliar place, she temporarily didn't know where to look for the Anemo Archon.

Although she could also ask other Archons, the Anemo Archon had clearly stated she knew where her brother was.

"Yes, Kaito is right, which is why I didn't quite believe what you said."

At this, Amber nodded, glancing at Kaito.

She was surprised that Kaito, who had only been in Mondstadt for a few days, already knew about their Mondstadt Anemo Archon.

"You two seem to be looking for the Anemo Archon for something."

At this moment, Kaito, who hadn't heard Lumine state why she was looking for the Anemo Archon, couldn't help but say this.

Since she kept silent, he would have to bring it up himself.

"Yes, I want to ask the Anemo Archon about my brother; he was taken by another deity."

Suddenly realizing she hadn't stated why she was seeking the Anemo Archon, Lumine briefly explained.

"So that's it..." Now Amber understood, but there was one thing she still didn't get, "Wait, if you said you just met the Anemo Archon, didn't you ask?"

"We did ask, but at that time she said there was no need to tell us, and then she vanished into wind."

Facing this question, Paimon spread her hands, saying somewhat helplessly.

"Then how about this: you two come back to Mondstadt City with me first? Perhaps the Anemo Archon has already appeared in the city."

Seeing that the time was right, Kaito made this suggestion.

He knew that Dvalin would attack the city soon, so he planned to have Wendy reappear then, to let Paimon and Lumine know that the Anemo Archon hadn't actually left.

"Then thank you, um... your name is Kaito, right?"

"That's right."

Looking at Lumine, Kaito nodded.

"Then I'll leave them to you, Kaito."

Since Kaito was taking Lumine and Paimon back to the city, Amber felt reassured.

"Aren't you coming back?"

Kaito was a bit surprised that Amber wasn't returning.

Logically, she should go back to see if the Anemo Archon had truly appeared.

After all, the Anemo Archon's last appearance was a thousand years ago; she should at least go check.

"Because I still have things to do." Amber replied very naturally.

"I see."

Nodding at Amber, Kaito understood.
