(3RD POV)
(Mondstadt City... Three hours after their journey from Liyue.)
[As they come back to Mondstadt, Musashi, Lumine, Paimon and Dainsleif swiftly walks towards the Favonius Cathedral, which impressed Dainsleif a bit.]
Dainsleif: "A huge statue, a grandiose Cathedral... The people of Mondstadt clearly spent a great deal of resources and energy to construct them. But how aware of this was the Anemo Archon on receiving this gift, and how much did he give back in return?"
Paimon: "Faith doesn't ask for anything in return though, does it?"

[Dainsleif shrugged his shoulder in annoyance and crossed his arms at his chest.]
Dainsleif: "Hmph, as long as the gods have a clear conscience about it all, there's nothing I can say about it."
Paimon: "Shh! We're about to enter the Cathedral. Don't say anything bad about the Anemo Archon... And actually, the Anemo Archon is... never mind."
Dainsleif: "I never specifically said I would enter the Cathedral. I'll leave you three to mingle with the sisters."

[Dain's answer cause Lumine, Musashi and Paimon fall in confusion.]
Paimon: "Huh?"
Lumine: "What? But we've done everything else together."
Musashi: "And... Uh... Aren't you curious?"
Dainsleif: "You are the Honorary Knight of Mondstadt. They will surely allow you to poke into these affairs with their utmost trust. Having me tag along would only make them suspicious."
Lumine: "Because they don't know you?"

[Dainsleif nods his head slowly.]
Dainsleif: "Correct, and just as our little friend said... I might say something bad about the Church at any time. When a non-believer steps onto holy ground, the result is never pretty. I have never received the favor of the gods in the past. I don't see any reason I would need it now or in the future, either. That's enough about that. While we've been chit-chatting, the Abyss Order continues to act."
Paimon: "Okay then, you two, we'll just go in ourselves and ask around."

[But... Before they go inside the Church...]
Dainsleif: "I should warn you about one thing. Don't go mentioning the Defiled Statue inside the Cathedral.
Dainsleif: The Church of Favonius wouldn't ignore the matter of the statue, but if they rashly tried anything against the Abyss Order, it would only ruin whatever element of surprise we may have. Also... Meddling in the affairs of the Abyss usually doesn't end well for anyone."

[Lumine and Paimon swiftly nods and walks towards the Church to meet someone. But... Dain just stand on his ground, leaving Musashi sighed a bit.]
Musashi: "You're really not coming with us, huh?
Dainsleif: "No... Go in the Cathedral and ask around. I'll be waiting out here."
