I'm In Genshin & Stalking the MC But The Side Characters Are Strange!!

Chapter 8

Jingyi kept glancing over to Lumine. For the longest time all Jingyi could do was watch her from a distance but now they are walking side by side. After the intense battle Jingyi can safely say that this was way more scary to put up with.

"You did a good job out there," Lumine said.

Jingyi jumped, "h-huh? Me?"

"Yeah, I feel like I've seen you around. You're from Mondstat right?"

"I-I am. You're the honorary knight!" Jingye squeaked, "I-I'm sorry I'm a b-bit starstruck ahaha...." Jingyi beat herself up, why did she just admit that out loud?

Lumine laughed, "I'm just the same as everyone else, why don't we hang out together sometimes and you judge for yourself."

Jingyi almost fainted, "I-i-i-if you'll have me!"

The group eventually finally arrived back to the city and headed towards the adventurer's guild to turn the commission in and also to use their facilities for the night. When Jingyi woke up she got washed up and got ready to meet everyone again since they said last night that everyone wanted to have a meal together before they parted ways. Same as last time, everyone met at the alchemy table.

"Morning everyone!" Jingyi said.

"Morning!" Nisa exclaimed, "I'm so excited for food!"

"That's great! Cause we're going to Third-Round Knockout!"

"Ooo! I've heard of that place!" Jingyi said.

"Did somebody say food!" The excited voice of Paimon said.

The group turned around and saw Lumine and Paimon going towards them.

"Morning everyone," Lumine said with a smile.

Xiaolan smiled back, "Morning! Did you want to join us for a meal?"

"Oh, me and Paimon don't want to impose..."

"Speak for yourself!"

"Paimon!"

Xiaolan laughed, "We don't mind!"

"Then, we'll gladly accept."

Everyone proceeded to the tavern and was eventually seated. A hearty meal was shared and jokes were made all around. Jingyi even stopped being as nervous around Lumine, to a degree.

"What's everyone's plans since the commission is done?" Xiaolan asked.

"I'm probably going to find another commission to do.." Houngye said.

"I'm probably going to head back to Sumeru! Being here with everyone was so much fun! I learned so many new things!" Nisa said with enthusiasm.

"...I'll probably head back to Sumeru too, since I was practically dragged here by this idiot," Enmul responded.

Nisa giggled playfully knowing that her friend didn't really mean it.

"I'm going to explore more of the Liyue countryside. While coming here I noticed how peaceful the scenery was," Emilie said with a smile.
Jingyi chimed in, "I agree, it feels completely different to Mondstat. Personally, I want to stay in Liyue and check out the city more."

"Well," Xiaolan said, "no matter where we all end up after this. It was nice working with everyone!"

"Cheers to that!" Jingyi said while raising her glass.

Everyone followed suit and cheered for a job well done and a commission complete.

Eventually, Jingyi found herself wandering through the city on her own. Back to herself now after just a day being around people made her feel empty but it didn't take her long to get used to it. She went mostly window shopping throughout the city. There were clothes that looked different than the styles back in Mondstat and food that she got overwhelmed with because they looked completely different than what she was used to. If she was the type with a bigger appetite then she would have tried one of everything in Liyue. At the end of the day she managed to get some pretty jewelry for her parents when she went home. But all the walking got her tired, she noticed some benches by one of the bridges and chose to sit there for a little bit.

Lost in her thoughts, Jingyi spaced out and didn't notice the tall figure emerging from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
