In a dense forest on the outskirts of Mond, where few people are.

A huge wild boar was eating wild fruits on the ground.

It has been hungry for three days.

So after searching for a long time in the dense forest, it finally saw a few round, plump, colorful and fragrant wild fruits on the ground in an open space somewhere.

The extremely hungry wild boar rushed to the wild fruit without thinking, lowered its head and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Just as the wild boar was enjoying a feast of wild fruits.

Da da.

suddenly.

The sound of brisk footsteps came from the side.

When the owner of the footsteps was within three meters of the wild boar, the wild boar that was eating wild fruit finally noticed something was wrong. It subconsciously raised its head, but saw a cold light coming towards its face. This sudden change made it forget to chew for a moment, and half of the chewed wild fruit fell to the ground along the corner of its mouth.

"Phew, this wild boar's neck is quite tough." The blonde girl put away the sword in her hand and looked at the wild boar's corpse that had fallen among the wild fruits, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Wow! Ying, you are amazing!" An unidentified floating object floated over from behind a tree in the distance. Seeing ten wild boars on the ground that were almost as big as her, she couldn't help but drool. "Wild boars this big are enough for us to eat for many days!"

"Although this wild boar is big, Paimon is such a big eater. I just hope you can find the right way to the nearest city-state before the boar is eaten. Otherwise, we may not be so lucky to catch prey next time."

The little girl called Paimon heard the disdain in Ying's tone and scratched her head awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

After all, what Ying said about her being able to eat was true, and it was also true that she was a little lost now.

For some reason, Paimon, who usually has a very good sense of direction, has always taken the wrong path in recent days. If Paimon's fighting power was not only equivalent to one-fifth of that of a wild boar, Ying would have suspected that Paimon was a spy sent by the strange god back then, and now he took her the wrong path in order to trick her into a remote place and "get rid of him as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll make the grilled pork chops first. If you're okay, Paimon, let's see which way is right."

As Ying spoke, she picked up the dry firewood nearby. After making a simple stone stove and starting a fire, she used her sword to chopped off a piece of fat and lean wild boar meat, skewered it with branches, and roasted it over the fire.

"Don't worry." Paimon, who was drooling at the aroma of roasted pork, patted his chest with a serious look on his face, and said in a tone of 'just trust me', "The path I chose this time must be the right one!"

"…That's better." Ying squatted beside the blazing fire, not feeling any joy at Paimon's solemn words.

After all, this is the twenty-third time that Paimon has said something like 'the path she chose this time must be the right one'.

Ying, who had been 'cheated' by similar words many times before, decided that this time she would not have any expectations before seeing the final result.

Internet cafe, private room number 2.

Lisa has reached the end of the Bunny Chapter quest.

at this time.

She is in a secret place where the [Strange Bird] who is trying to steal the artifacts during the mission is hiding.

As soon as I controlled Amber and arrived at a cliff deep in the secret realm, the game entered the [Story Mode] again.

Amber in the game was standing on the edge of a cliff in the secret realm, and asked in a puzzled tone: "It looks like there is no way forward... Where on earth could that guy be hiding?"

Is there no way out?

Lisa, who was concentrating on the mission, frowned slightly. There was too little information given in the game, and it was difficult for her to infer where the strange bird, their mission target, was.

until……

Paimon: "Amber, look across!"

Following Paimon's gaze, Lisa saw a wretched-looking figure standing on the other side of the cliff, looking at them with a bad expression.

This person must be the strange bird!

This was Lisa's first reaction.

As if to confirm her guess, before she could react, the figure on the other side of the cliff couldn't help but say, "You finally caught up with me. I can't help it. Eh? Why is it a little girl..."

Being called a little girl, Amber felt discriminated against and said dissatisfiedly: "You are the [Weird Bird]! You can't escape now!"

Although Amber's words were powerful, the strange bird on the other side of the cliff didn't take Amber's words seriously at all: "Hahaha, I don't need to run away either, because you can't get over here at all."

Amber, who also realized this, looked a little serious: "Well - this cliff is really high... and far away."

Strange Bird: "Little girl, why don't you go back now and call the captain, maybe I will surrender immediately."

Amber, who was affected by the bird's trash talk, said angrily: "Are you provoking the scout knights of the Knights of Favonius? Look, I'm going to fly over and catch you now!"

Looking at Amber, whose emotions were easily affected by a few words from others, Lisa in front of the computer shook her head slightly, thinking that whether it was Amber in the game or in reality, she needed time to settle down before she could better shoulder the responsibility of protecting Mond.

In the plot, Lisa advised Amber through the dialogue options given by the game: "Calm down first and observe your surroundings... This is what you taught me."

After being admonished by Lisa, Amber took a deep breath and tried to calm down and said, "Well... you are right. Damn, it is right across the street. If only I could fly over directly..."

Paimon on the side suddenly raised a key question: "But how did this strange bird get there?"

[Is there a mechanism that allows you to go back and forth?]

[Using some kind of elemental magic?]

[Using a grappling hook or spike or something?]

Lisa looked at the three dialogue options that appeared on the screen. Since she couldn't figure out how the strange bird reached the other side of the cliff, she thought about it briefly and directly chose the answer related to magic.

"Did he use some kind of elemental magic to get through?"

After hearing what Lisa said, Paimon suggested that Lisa use the elemental vision to see if there were any signs of elemental power being used nearby. After finding nothing, Paimon said helplessly: "Are there any signs in Lisa's elemental vision? ... Well, there really aren't any?"

At this time.

The strange bird standing on the other side of the cliff looked confident of victory. It pretended to leave while shouting, "Goodbye, little girl—"

Paimon said anxiously: "Oh, this guy is going to escape!"

Amber's face became serious: "We can't hesitate any longer. There is no other way to cross the cliff except flying."

Paimon: "But..."

Amber: "Don't worry, I'm the flying champion of Mondstadt. If the strange bird can fly over there, I can definitely do it too!"
