“Amber!”
Eula, the Wavebreaker Knight, who was rushing back to Mondstadt, stopped in her tracks, her eyes fixed on the screen, her heart pounding in her throat.
Amber was one of the few people in Mondstadt who didn’t hold a grudge against Eula, and she even often boasted about Eula's contributions to protecting Mondstadt in the city.
Trying to get everyone to change their opinion of Eula.
It could be said that Amber was Eula's best friend, the only person she could call a friend.
Yet now, she had to watch helplessly as Amber was caught in a crisis, and Eula was so anxious that she wanted to take Amber’s place on the screen.
Sumeru.
“How could this be?”
“Amber shouldn't have turned back.”
Klee felt her mind cloudy.
Klee, who suffered from the Maguu Kenki disease, was entrusted to the Doctor by her parents when she was young.
Becoming one of the many Maguu Kenki test subjects in Sumeru.
She couldn’t remember how much pain and torture she had endured, but she finally escaped the lab during a fire.
Freed from the pain of potion experiments, Klee embarked on a life of hardship.
She was bullied, stoned, and at one point, Klee lost the will to live.
Until she met Amber in Mondstadt.
The girl's enthusiasm and concern touched her, and Klee was finally reborn.
“But with Amber’s personality, she’ll definitely turn back.”
“What to do, what to do...”
Klee was panicking.
She couldn't imagine what the following scenes would be like.
Tighnari, her teacher beside her, sighed quietly.
Kind and enthusiastic Amber wouldn't hurt the innocent, but what Su Xuan said was also full of reason.
At a time when Mondstadt was facing an unknown disaster, any hesitation could become a weapon that would hurt the people of Mondstadt.
“Actually, she didn't turn back. The Fifth Descender, who knows the history and the present, knew from the beginning that she was dropping a bomb.”
【Boom!】
【The Rabbit Baron exploded.】
【Red flames instantly engulfed Amber and Su Xuan.】
“What! This little girl actually chose to die with the Fifth Descender.”
Natlan.
Mavka, the Fire Archon with her stunning figure, was slightly shocked.
She hadn't expected Amber to detonate the bomb without saying a word after learning Su Xuan’s identity.
“What a brave little girl.”
This scene was unexpected for everyone else as well.
The petite girl, faced with a huge crisis, acted without hesitation, choosing to die with the enemy.
“Amber!” Klee’s legs gave way, and she collapsed onto the ground.
Amber was dead, her future self was really dead.
Klee buried her face in her hands, tears flowing uncontrollably.
At a critical moment, Tighnari's call pulled her out of her bottomless grief.
“Klee! Amber in reality is still alive and kicking.”
“If you're too worried, I can accompany you to Mondstadt for a day.”
Tighnari knew how important Amber was to Klee.
Their journey would even involve directly confronting Su Xuan’s actions against Mondstadt, but his student was so worried about her friend's safety, how could he, as her teacher, bear to let her bear such enormous psychological pressure?
“Huh?”
The changes on the screen again caught Tighnari's attention.
“Klee, look, Amber is not dead.”
【The moment the Rabbit Baron exploded, the girl's petite body shot out of the fire.】
【She rolled several times on the lawn before landing safely on the ground.】
【“Ugh, ugh, ugh...”】
【Amber crawled to her feet, her hand pressed against her chest, gasping for breath.】
【Her eyes alertly watched the flames rising from the explosion in the distance.】
【She let go of her chest.】
【On Amber's white chest, a footprint had appeared.】
【“Did Su Xuan kick me at the moment of the explosion?”】
【“Why?”】
Fontaine, Palace of Fontaine.
Furina’s teardrop-shaped pupils widened.
The reversal of the situation caught her off guard.
She thought they were both going to be blown up, but at the moment of the explosion, Amber was actually kicked out by Su Xuan.
“What the heck is going on, why did that man save Amber?”
“He's crazy, he chose to be blown up...”
“Huh? He's unscathed?”
【“Your parents didn't tell you that playing with fire often makes you wet the bed at night?”】
【A calm voice came from the midst of the raging flames.】
【A figure slowly emerged, walking out of the flames.】
【Amber’s breath hitched.】
【She couldn't believe what she was seeing was real.】
【Not only could Su Xuan sense the explosion of the Rabbit Baron, but he also kicked her out in an instant.】
【He was deep in the heart of the explosion, the area with the most intense heat, yet not a single hair on his head was damaged.】
【He even had the leisure to joke with her.】
【Amber was a little dumbfounded, not knowing what Su Xuan had up his sleeve.】
【“Oh, sorry, I forgot.”】
【“Your only relative, your grandfather, suddenly disappeared from the Knights of Favonius, from Mondstadt, four years ago.”】
【Walking in front of Amber, Su Xuan stopped and looked at her with a half-smile, like a startled bird.】
【“You must have been anxious these past few years searching for your grandfather.”】
【“Do you want to know why your grandfather left Mondstadt?”】
【Amber: “！！！”】
