"Hee hee! That big bad guy who kidnapped Acting Grand Master Jean, let her go quickly, or it'll be too late when Klee blows you up!"
"Hey! Who are you, little girl, trying to bully Daddy? You'll have to get past Yuanbao first!"
Hearing someone threaten to bully Daddy, Yuanbao immediately became unhappy. Clenching the half-eaten rabbit leg, she stood in front of Feng Yi, facing Klee head-on.
"Don't bully Feng Yi! Qiqi... will help too!"
Qiqi also stepped forward, coming to Yuanbao's side, jointly confronting Klee.
Of the four little ones in Teyvat, three had already arrived.
"Wow, you two are bullying Klee, it's not fair!"
Klee counted on her fingers, accusing the other two of unfairness.
"Yuanbao, and Qiqi, you don't need to be nervous. They aren't bad people, they are guests. Go pick two fat rabbits suffering from heatstroke for extra dinner tonight!"
Feng Yi shook his head helplessly and quickly stopped the confrontation between the three children.
Though they looked small, their destructive power was not.
And if they fought, there was a risk of injury...
"Klee!!! Shouldn't you be reflecting in solitary confinement right now? How did you get here?!"
Jean and Feng Yi reacted simultaneously. Jean's brow furrowed as she looked sternly at Klee, causing Klee to tremble all over.
"Acting Grand Master... Jean, Klee heard you went missing, so Klee came to help..."
Klee poked her fingers together, looking like a good child accepting criticism, her previous bravado completely gone.
Jean sighed in exasperation. Although Klee's intentions were good, she couldn't say too much. However, it wouldn't be good if Klee developed a habit of making excuses to escape solitary confinement!
"So that's what happened! Then Yuanbao is going to catch fat rabbits, and Qiqi will help too!"
Yuanbao nodded. Since Daddy said so, she would be magnanimous and not bother with a mere child.
It was rare for Daddy to offer extra dinner, and Yuanbao was overjoyed. She couldn't miss this chance to catch more rabbits, could she?
Yuanbao couldn't carry that many by herself, so she quickly called for Qiqi to help.
"Okay!"
Qiqi put away the talismans in her hand and followed Yuanbao to help.
"Catching rabbits? That sounds fun! Klee wants to help too!"
Klee glanced at the Acting Grand Master Jean, whose expression was shifting between anger and displeasure, and quickly found an excuse to run away.
But her plan didn't succeed. Jean grabbed Klee's backpack and yanked her back.
"This matter isn't resolved yet, Klee, don't even think about escaping!"
Jean shook Klee's backpack and heard the clatter of objects inside. She suddenly realized that it might be filled with bombs and felt a chill of fear.
If the safety pins on these bombs weren't secure and came loose from Klee's running and jolting, what if they detonated?
Even with Klee's elemental physique, she couldn't withstand the blast impact of so many explosives at close range!
Klee's mother, Alice, had entrusted Klee to her care. If anything happened to Klee, how could Jean face her trusted old friend?
"Carrying so many explosives is too dangerous, I'm confiscating them all!"
Without a word, Jean confiscated Klee's backpack.
"Waaah... Acting Grand Master Jean, Klee knows she was wrong, can Klee have her bouncing bombs back?"
Klee hugged Jean's leg and burst into tears, trying to gain Jean's sympathy through this method.
But Jean remained unmoved. She was completely immune to this tactic.
At first, Jean might have felt sympathetic and returned the bombs to Klee, but within two days, she would receive an urgent notice about a forest fire...
As a result, she now completely ignored Klee's pleas.
"Jean, Klee was just trying to help this time, why don't you just let it go..."
Klee's eyes were teary, and she cried profusely. Her rosy little face was wet, and tears welled up in her bright, sparkling eyes.
Feng Yi had never seen such a scene. He didn't have Jean's immunity and couldn't help but soften his heart and persuade her.
"Feng Yi... Sigh~ Alright, Klee, since Feng Yi is speaking up for you, I'll let you off this time. I hope there won't be a next time..."
Seeing Feng Yi intercede, Jean didn't know how to tell him about Klee setting the mountain on fire.
Besides, Feng Yi had a point. Klee was just trying to help this time.
If she confiscated Klee's bombs directly, it might also dampen Klee's spirits.
Looking at it this way, it was better to go with the flow. She returned the backpack with the bombs to Klee, while also taking the opportunity to lecture Klee.
"Klee understands! Thank you, Brother Feng Yi, Brother Feng Yi is a good person!"
Klee took her beloved bouncing bombs, immediately stopped crying, and with a beaming smile, expressed her gratitude to Feng Yi for his intervention.
One moment she was a big bad guy who kidnapped the Acting Grand Master, and the next she was a good person. Feng Yi remarked that children's thoughts were indeed simple.
"Dada-da~ Klee is here to help!"
Klee slung her little backpack over her shoulders and ran in the direction Yuanbao had gone. She wanted to help catch rabbits too.
At this moment, Lisa, with Barbara and Amber, also approached.
"You're just in time. Let me introduce you all..."
Seeing Lisa and the others draw near, Jean, who was familiar with both parties, stepped forward without hesitation to introduce them.
"Feng Yi, this is Lisa, the librarian of the Knights of Favonius, a scholar with vast knowledge! This is Amber, the Outrider Knight of the Knights of Favonius, she's enthusiastic and diligent! And this is Barbara, the Deaconess of the Church of Favonius, a cheerful, sunny, gentle, and kind child..."
Jean paused slightly when introducing Barbara, smiling tenderly at her sister.
Jean could feel her somewhat clumsy sister's desire to help her share some of her responsibilities, but Jean only wished for her to grow up healthy and happy...
"This is Feng Yi, a traveler from Liyue, who knows many interesting stories..."
When mentioning Feng Yi, Jean blushed for a moment, a rare occurrence, but she concealed it well, and no one noticed.
"Lisa, Amber, Barbara, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'll be staying in Mondstadt for a while, so please take care of me..."
Feng Yi spoke first. To get by in Mondstadt, he needed to establish good relationships with these people.
"Hello, Mr. Feng Yi. Barbara sincerely greets you. If you ever get injured in the future, you can come to the Church of Favonius, and Barbara will heal you..."
Barbara curtsied, performing the customary greeting of a nun.
"Feng Yi, I'm Outrider Amber. If you ever need anything, feel free to ask for my help..."
Unlike Barbara, the enthusiastic and cheerful Amber didn't bother with tedious etiquette. She patted her chest and made a hearty promise.
"What a handsome young man. My library has every kind of book. If you encounter any questions you don't understand, come to me, sis. And, I know more than just what's in books~"
