Chapter 142 Mimi and Paimon are both food, so they are of the same kind.
The weather was fine and sunny at the Deer Hunter Restaurant...
"It's on me, eat as much as you want."
"Hehe, Sister Lingling is the best!"
After Paimon finished speaking, he picked up the menu and started ordering.
Ying looked at Paimon with some dissatisfaction.
"I cook so many delicious meals for you every day, how come I've never heard you praise me like this?"
With an embarrassed smile, Paimon changed his tune, saying, "The Traveller is the best to me! They feed Paimon the best food; they're all Paimon's good friends!"
"Meow~ (I want to eat a pile of dumplings)."
Seeing Mimi running out at mealtimes, Huiyuan seized the opportunity and pounced on her.
"So you finally decided to come out, huh? You're so lazy! Let me touch you!"
"Meow...meow~~~ (No...don't~ it's too, too, too comfortable~)."
Paimon couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
"Pfft~ You want to pile it up high? I'll tick it for you."
Ying looked at Paimon with a puzzled expression and asked curiously, "Paimon... how can you understand cat language?"
"ah...?"
"Mimi just meowed once, right? How did you manage to understand meow language?"
"Hmm... I don't know... Anyway, I understood it as soon as I heard it."
After pouting and thinking for a while, Ying came up with an answer.
"I remember... Mimi has another nickname, 'reserve food,' and you're my 'emergency food.' Could it be because we're both food that we have something in common?"
"Hey! That doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it!"
Having broken free from Huiyuan's clutches, Mimi meowed, "Meow! (That's right)."
“Look, Mimi seconded it too.”
Ying was slightly surprised to see the two food items communicating with each other via voice.
“As expected…”
After eating and drinking their fill, and having changed their adventure quest to the Mondstadt region through Catherine, the group began their daily routine.
Fight, eat, rest, sleep, collect rewards, and keep an eye out for clues in missing person notices.
Day after day, several days passed.
"System functions have been restored... Elemental energy has been restored... Energy debugging in progress... Completed."
Hearing the familiar system voice, Huiyuan excitedly felt the long-lost elemental power.
"This feels so good... It's so hard to get through days without elemental energy to regulate body temperature."
He stretched his body and exhaled a breath of stale air.
What interesting things will happen today...?
Following Ying to the Adventurers' Guild, Huiyuan rubbed her hands together, waiting for Catherine to utter that classic line.
But Catherine didn't give her usual opening remarks today; instead, she went straight to the point.
"Traveler, you've come at the perfect time."
Paimon looked at Catherine, who was acting unusually and hadn't uttered the line "Towards the stars and the abyss..." and asked her in confusion.
"Catherine, what happened?"
Catherine scratched her head, making a gesture that looked very troubled, and began to explain.
"Yes, something major has happened that requires the help of adventurers. I have a very urgent mission to entrust to you, traveler."
Catherine appeared very serious, and seeing this, Huiyuan listened attentively.
"Last night, there was a meteor shower that covered a large area, affecting Mondstadt and Liyue. The meteorites that landed contained a strange power... capable of putting anyone who came into contact with them to a deep sleep. The Association considers this extremely dangerous."
After Catherine finished speaking, Paimon couldn't help but shudder.
"Waaah...that sounds really serious..."
Catherine nodded and said seriously, "To be honest, this is the first time we've encountered something like this. The guild is extremely busy, and we need all the adventurers traveling abroad to work together."
After listening, Ying replied, "Okay, I understand. I'll set off immediately."
"Please wait a moment, just in case..."
Before Catherine could finish speaking, a person walked out from the entrance of the Adventurers' Guild.
"Catherine! People of the Pure Land of Dark Night, is it you who are devoutly calling upon the name of this princess?"
The person who made the sound was a girl wearing a symmetrical black-purple dress, an eye patch, and small ponytails on both sides of her head.
She was wearing black pantyhose on one side and black stockings on the other.
One sleeve did not cover the palm, and there was something like a ribbon wrapped around the upper arm. The other sleeve did not have a ribbon, and the sleeve covered the fingers.
The asymmetrical design gives it a unique aesthetic appeal.
Upon seeing the person approaching, Catherine hurriedly greeted, "Ah, they're here, they're here."
However, the one who responded was not the girl in a formal dress who looked somewhat chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), but rather a crow emitting purple light standing to the side.
"It's nice to see you again, Ms. Catherine."
The crow perched on the counter, looking quite gentlemanly.
Not only is he a gentleman in appearance, but his voice is also very masculine and magnetic.
Paimon stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the creature that made the sound.
"Ah! This crow can talk?!"
The crow chuckled, opened its beak, and said, "Ha ha, why be surprised by such a trivial matter, my friend?"
The girl with the eye patch sighed and turned to look at them.
"My loyal subject, seeing your worried face, it must be that those wicked and evil people are once again trying to plunder the peace of Mondstadt."
Just as Ying was looking on with a puzzled expression, Catherine reluctantly began to explain.
“Traveler, this is Fischl, a senior member of the Mondstadt Adventurers' Guild. Fischl, Oz, this is the traveler I mentioned, and Miss Linlin.”
After Catherine finished her introduction, Fischl glanced over with an arrogant look and began to praise her.
"Oh? It's you? Hmph... good eye."
Oz spread his wings in respect and said, "Honorary Knights of the Knights of Favonius and their companions. It's a pleasure to meet you all."
With exaggerated gestures, Fischl asked with great poise, "Traveler, do you also wish to confront that boundless, abyssal crystal of darkness?"
Paimon was completely bewildered and couldn't figure it out at all.
"Fight against...what darkness? Darkness what?"
Looking at Catherine with a puzzled expression, Ying sought an explanation.
“Catherine, that’s not what you were talking about.”
Fischl felt a little disappointed and anxious when he saw that Ying hadn't understood what he was saying.
Oz, who shared a deep understanding with Fischl, helped with the translation.
"What you're talking about, Miss, are those meteorites."
Seeing that the two sides had gotten to know each other quite well, Catherine offered further explanation.
"The association is still unsure of the cause and side effects of the meteor shower. Therefore, we hope that adventurers can form teams of two or more. Traveler, Fischl, and Linlin, we hope that you will look after each other and act only when your own safety is guaranteed."
