It is said that when Alechino and Finina arrived in Mondstadt in a carriage.

The carriage drove across the bridge, scaring away the pigeons on the bridge.

A child standing on the bridge saw the carriage scaring away his pigeons. His face froze and his face immediately turned red.

The child quickly ran to the carriage and shouted to the people in it.

"You! What are you doing? You scared the pigeons away!"

The child was very angry.

The carriage stopped, Alecino pulled the reins, then glanced at the child.

Her eyes were very scary, and the little pigeon boy Timmy was frightened by her eyes.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

Furninha drew aside the curtain and stuck her head out.

"There was a kid who blocked our way and said we scared his pigeons away."

Alechino withdrew her gaze and turned her head to speak to Furninna in the carriage.

Hearing this, Funina immediately showed an expression of helplessness and distress.

"There's nothing we can do about it. This is the only road that leads to Mondstadt. If a carriage passes by, it will surely disturb the pigeons on the bridge."

"Well, how, how can you say there is no way... My mother said that as long as you love this world, the animals will not be afraid of you."

"Besides, the pigeons are not afraid of me..."

Timmy wanted to vent his anger, but the look in Alechino's eyes really scared him, so he changed his tone and expressed his dissatisfaction in a wronged tone.

Alechino glanced at the flying pigeon, then looked at Timmy. Her eyes were calm, yet filled with a sense of distance.

"The pigeons will come back, don't worry."

Alechino spoke to a stranger in a rare gentle tone, even though he was a child.

"Everyone says that...but what if one day you can't come back?"

"Just like Dad..."

Timmy said the last sentence in a very low voice.

But Alechino heard it anyway.

She looked at Timmy with a little surprise, but Alecino didn't meddle in other people's business, but out of humanitarianism and her current status.

Alechino pulled a piece of fruit-flavored candy from her pocket.

"It's our fault for scaring your pigeon. I'll use this candy to apologize to you, okay?"

Alecino handed the candy to Timmy.

Timmy looked at Alechino with some fear, then he shook his head and refused.

"Mom said that we can't accept food from strangers. I don't want it, so you can take it back."

"Forget it this time, Auntie, you need to make the animals like you as soon as possible, otherwise you will scare the pigeons next time you pass by."

With that, Timmy left the middle of the bridge and went back to where he had been.

Alechino put away the candy silently, Timmy's words still echoing in her ears.

Aunt!

Is she that old?

Alechino was puzzled, so she looked at Fernina and asked.

"Funina, am I old?"

Faced with this sudden and inexplicable problem, Funina admitted that she had a moment of downtime.

But she quickly reacted.

Shaking her head, Funina spoke softly.

"How could that be? You're only 27! How can you be old?"

Hearing this, Alechino nodded, she was satisfied.

That’s what I mean, she is only 27 years old, how can she be an aunt? Funina is still better.

Then, Alechino asked the wrong question.

"How old are you, Furninna?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene immediately became quiet.

Funina touched her chin and thought seriously for a while.

"Two ages... One is based on the time when I was born and played the role of the water god, which is about 500 years old. The other is based on the time when I was with Fukaros, which is about a thousand years old... or two thousand years old?"

"Oh, I don't know about that either..."

Finina looked a little distressed, then she spread her hands and said.

Alechino silently withdrew her gaze and held back what she wanted to say.

Forget it, old grass and small trees will do. After all, they are the ones she likes, Funina.

After finishing the topic, Alechino continued to drive the carriage towards the gate of Mondstadt.

In a few minutes, the carriage arrived at the city gate and was stopped by two armored Favonius Knights.

"Welcome to Mondstadt. Swann, the Knight of Favonius, is at your service. Hello, ma'am. How many people are you with?"

The brown-haired knight Swan spoke elegantly.

"two."

Alechino said calmly.

"Okay. Can the people in the carriage please show up for a moment?"

Swan continued to ask.

His attitude was very kind, he always had a smile on his face, and his tone was inquiring and requesting, which made people feel comfortable listening to him.

"Excuse me, Mr. Knight."

Finina's voice was heard, and she lifted the curtain, revealing her face.

After confirming the gender and appearance, Swann the Knight of Favonius took a step back.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation, ladies. I wish you a pleasant stay in Mondstadt. May the wind god Barbatos protect you!"

After saying this, Swann and his companion who was on guard duty made way.

But Alechino was not in a hurry to drive away. After all, she was not here as an executive of the Fatui this time. She was here for vacation and to travel with Finina.

Arlecchino asked Swann.

"Knight Swan, may I ask what good places are there in Mondstadt that are worth visiting?"

Hearing the foreign traveler's question, Swann stopped and stared at Arlecchino.

Swan: “…”

Alechino: "..."

Swann: "I'm sorry, this question is not covered in the Knights' Manual."

After these words came out, Alechino was silent for a moment.

"Okay... then may I ask this knight, do you know anything?"

Arlecchino nodded and stopped looking at Swann, who was embarrassed now. Therefore, Arlecchino focused his attention on the other Knight of Favonius.

"Hello, ma'am. Lawrence the Knight of Favonius is at your service."

The knight with his blond hair tied in a high ponytail gave Alechino the salute of the Knight of Favonius, and then spoke.

"Mondstadt is the [Bright Crown of the North], the [City of Pastoral Songs]... No amount of praise can describe its beauty."

"And recently, a bard came to Mondstadt. If you want to experience the customs and culture of Mondstadt, you can go find him."

"But, how should I put it? The bard's music is very classical, the kind of ballads from thousands of years ago... It's really strange, where did he learn it from?"

At the end, Lawrence couldn't help but express his doubts.

But Alechino didn't care. When she heard the word "bard", she thought of Wendy whom she had met in Fengqidi before.

Without too much hesitation, Alechino continued to inquire about the situation in Mengcheng.

"Knight Lawrence, are there any legends in Mond?"

"Then you've asked the right person. Recently, a great hero who punishes evil and promotes good appeared in Mondstadt. So far, no one knows his identity..."
