Childe was enveloped in a red light. When he reappeared, he was wearing a yellow duck costume.
The enormous, duck-shaped costume had a tail sticking up and completely covered his body. His head stuck out from where the duck's eyes should be.
He had duck legs and the bulky costume made him look… kind of cute.
“Toko: Big brother… handsome.”
“Hahaha.”
“This duck costume, Master!”
“All the kids are cheering.”
“It’s made of cotton, not that sticky stuff, that one’s a real pain.”
【Paimon: Pffft - Executive Duck】
【Kaeya: Oh, it suits you well】
【Diluc claps】
【Zhongli: Master looks quite distinctive in this costume】
【Signora: You should just call him Ducky from now on】
Childe walked around the classroom, unhindered: “It’s actually quite comfortable, no big deal.”
He realized his duck bottom was too big to sit on the chair and plopped down on the floor, his rear hitting the ground with a thud.
Childe: “This duck costume, you know, it’s actually pretty handy.”
Master Childe had a good attitude. If that other scatterbrain had to wear this, he’d be pulling his face and making excuses for hours.
「Sumeru, Natlan, and Tsaritsa acquired a Genshin Star」
「Please note, the effect of this Genshin Star will be significantly enhanced, please be aware of this, all agents」
【Yae Miko: Aww, we don't even have one in Inazuma】
【Kloe: It's okay, we still have Fontaine】
【Yae Miko: We have the gods leading the way】
【Fningna: No need to worry, this god will catch up soon】
【Paimon crosses her arms: Let’s see what’s going on】
【Amber: Yeah】
【Diluc: Someone is so audacious】
The livestream continues.
Venti emerges from the church, and two debt collectors pop up from the ground, drawing daggers and attacking him from behind.
Instantly, Traveler, who was following behind, strikes the debt collectors with elemental power, sending them flying.
Traveler charges toward the enemy.
But the two debt collectors vanish.
From behind, the sound of high heels clicks.
Signora snaps her fingers.
A powerful icy blast surges forward.
Paimon is instantly frozen into an ice ball and sent flying.
Venti releases a wind element force, shaking off the icy wind, but he realizes his feet are frozen.
“It’s Signora!”
“A Fatui Harbinger!”
“What does she want?”
【Jean: Where am I?】
【Kaeya: Pffft - I was getting really nervous, but then Jean said that, and now it just…】
【Servant: Rosalyne, you’re doing it yourself?】
【Signora: I know the target, so of course I’ll take action】
At that moment, the two debt collectors pin Traveler to the ground, not allowing him to resist.
Signora steps forward with two Electro Cicin Mages: “Oh, in the end, you brought your little hamster home.”
The camera zooms in — The Eighth Seat of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers!
Signora pinches Venti’s face: “Nibble on logs, gnaw on rice sacks, you’ve caused Mondstadt so much trouble.”
“What is that big Slime woman trying to do!”
“That Fatui Harbinger isn’t a good person!”
“The one who appeared in the agent livestream.”
“She represents Tsaritsa.”
Venti retorts: “You’re not talking about a hamster, it’s a rat!”
Signora immediately backhands Venti: “You have no right to speak now, disrespectful bard. Giving up control of Mondstadt, you’re left with only this much strength.”
“That stinking woman!”
“She dares to hit Barbatos, drive the Fatui out of Mondstadt!”
“Kick these damned Fatui out of Mondstadt!”
“Out of Mondstadt!”
Venti: “Oh? The power you use to mock me, is it borrowed from your master?”
Signora snorts and pushes Venti back: “Slick talker.”
Then she makes a move, reaching into Venti’s chest.
“???”
“???”
“???”
She pulls a crystal-green, chess-piece-like object out of Venti’s chest.
Signora: “So this is it — the God’s Heart? It’s not as beautiful as the exquisite chess pieces I cherish.”
Venti: “That’s probably because your taste is really terrible.”
Signora ignores Venti, throws back her cloak and turns to leave with her men: “Whatever, I have what I came for. Let’s go, before the Knights arrive. Leave no trace.”
“Ah?”
“She attacked the Anemo Archon!”
“Public · Muchen: Barbatos, you let her get away with too much, right?”
“Hahaha.”
“I was thinking the same thing as Muchen.”
“Feels like you’re letting her win!”
“The Fatui’s goal is the God’s Heart!”
【Diluc: So this is what you were after?】
【Keqing: To take the God’s Heart】
【Lisa: Now the Fatui’s goal is exposed to all of Teyvat】
【Captain: Rosalyne’s actions are swift and decisive, commendable】
【Kujou Sara: Their goal is the God’s Heart】
In the classroom, several agents turn to the three Tsaritsa’s people.
The Captain still stands tall and proud, the Servant sits on the chair with elegant grace, and Childe… sits on the floor in his duck costume.
They remain extremely composed, completely ignoring the endless barrage of comments.
Of course, there are plenty of Fatui comments praising Signora for her actions.
【Muchen: I suspect Barbatos is letting her win】
【Mavyka: It does seem like she’s letting her win】
【Amber: Huh?】
【Zhongli: From a logical standpoint, she did let her win quite a bit】
【Jean: Huh?】
【Barbara: Huh?】
【Rosaria: Why would she do that?】
【Venti: I didn’t!】
【Signora: Hmph, it’s a matter of strength, there is no such thing as letting her win】
【Muchen: I have a feeling you two might have something going on】
【Signora: ???】
【Servant: Hahaha】
【Venti: ???】
【Jean: ???】
【Diluc: This…】
【Childe: This time I stand with Muchen】
【Kachina: What does that mean, Muchen?】
【Muchen: Look at the way the Anemo Archon and Signora talked to each other, don’t you think it’s like…】
【Klee: Klee knows! That’s how close good friends are!】
【Kaeya: Pffft —】
【Albedo: Pffft —】
【Signora: ???】
【Venti: Hahaha】
【Jean covers her face: Klee!!!】
