[Y/n POV]

As the sun started setting, Y/n felt more and more nervous. What would Scaramouche's reaction be if he found out Y/n had gotten out of Mondstadt?

B

ut it shouldn't matter, since I won't be working under him anymore.

"We have collected all the herbs." Barbara said, picking up the last valberry on the bush. The bag that she had carried with her was bulging out now.

Bennett, who initially had plans of adventuring, felt a little disappointed since all they did was wander around and collect materials. Nevertheless, he smiled. "Awesome. We can go back to Mondstadt now!"

"Thank you for accompanying me this far." Barbara looked at Bennett apologetically, then smiled. "Once we get back, let me treat you with one of my specialties!"

At that, Bennett's face lit up. "Really?" Barbara nodded.

"Ah. We should hurry. The sun has almost set." Y/n said nervously, fidgeting with their fingers.

"Yes. Let's- Y/n!! Look out!!"

Before Y/n had time to react, a big object landed near them. They turned around to see a big purple Fatui Skirmisher.

"It's the Fatui!"

Bennett immediately grabbed Y/n's hand and ran with Barbara. Y/n couldn't process what was going on. Back at the palace, the sole purpose of the Skirmishers was to guard the doors. Why were they acting like killing machines out in the open?!

The Fatui Skirmisher charged at them. Despite how fast Bennett and Barbara ran, he was catching up to them.

"Barbara, take Y/n and run in that direction!!" Bennett yelled.

Barbara's eyes widened. "And what about you?!"

"I should be able to distract this guy." He had a determined expression on his face.

"No, Bennett! We are not putting your life in danger. We should be able to avoid him if we-"

"This is our only chance, Barbara." He got serious. "You know I've never died in my sleep. If I end up passing out, I should be safe. We all should be."

Bennett... Why is he insisting on..?

Wait...

Y/n knew what this was about. Bennett was secretly blaming his luck for whatever was happening to them right now. They wondered if he also thought of the incident at the Plaza as his luck's fault.

What kind of luck did he even have? Was it that bad to the point where he couldn't live a moment of peace?

Y/n shook their head. They won't let Bennett blame himself for everything.
