The vendors behind her had disappeared at some point, and Frey stood in front of the alley for a long time.
It wasn't until little Amy, who was holding a book in her arms, quietly appeared that she discovered Frey's severed arm before she could figure out what was going on.
The severed arm seemed somewhat familiar to Amy; she thought she saw the owner of that hand turning the pages of a book in the sunlight.
As Amy thought of this, her pupils contracted, and the feeling of having just found her, only to have her suddenly disappear again, returned to her mind.
This feeling made Amy ignore Frey's warning and run over step by step with her books in her arms.
She stood in front of Frey, staring intently at the severed arm in Frey's hand.
Just as she was about to ask where her older brother had gone, she seemed to sense something, turned her head, and looked into the alley...
Chapter 181 No matter... even if...
The heavy book fell to the ground, and Fischl, his pupils constricted, heard the last sound in his dream.
Fischl woke up from his dream to find himself lying on the grass.
The grass was warm, but the last step in the dream made Fischl feel icy cold all over.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Oz's voice brought Fischl back to her senses.
She turned her head and saw that besides Oz, there was also a boy with short silver hair standing there.
The boy wanted to say something immediately, but as he walked up to Fischl, he tripped over a stone.
The boy, who was used to this kind of thing, was not tripped up, but he was a step too slow in speaking.
"I just saw you suddenly faint."
Bennett scratched his head, clearly puzzled by Fischl's current situation.
"Are you alright?"
These words left Fischl somewhat lost in thought, and she reached out to cover the eye that was covered by the eyepatch.
"During my travels across the world, I sensed a call from another realm..."
"What you mean is, Miss, is that you suddenly felt drowsy while on patrol..."
"Through that summoning power, I glimpsed the hypocrisy hidden beneath the world's reality..."
"What you mean is, you had a dream while you were asleep..."
"Beneath the falsehood, I see the books that created the world crumble, and everything collapses in the midst of falsehood."
Oz did not translate Fischl's sentence.
It could sense that something was off about what Fischl said.
Turning to look at Fischl, I noticed that the girl's hand covering her eyes had somehow become a fist.
"Miss..."
"I know that!!!"
Bennett interrupted Oz.
He ran up to Fischl and then suddenly squatted down.
"You must have been having a nightmare, right?"
The question, which lacked emotional intelligence, suddenly dispelled the tense atmosphere.
Even Fischl was pulled back from his dream by those words.
Fischl looked up at the boy, who seemed to be naturally immune to sadness.
—Even though he often encounters some unhappy things.
—Just like...just like...
Fischl looked at Bennett with the eye that wasn't covered by the eyepatch, and the sunlight seemed to have dyed his white hair golden.
But the gold quickly turned into the blood red of the dream.
The crimson color made Fischl turn her head away and stand up from the ground.
"I want to leave Mondstadt."
After thinking for a long time, Fischl spoke to Bennett.
A few seconds later, realizing that she wasn't speaking in her usual style, she added another sentence.
"To end what should have ended, to settle the accounts for the sins that should have been settled."
This was something Fischl had thought about for a long time, and something she had decided on a long time ago.
However... he hesitated to take that step because of fear.
After saying this, Fischl looked at Bennett, hoping to see some other emotions in him.
But thinking about it... Fischl was overthinking it.
So you wanted to go on adventures to even farther places!
Bennett remained carefree, showing no sadness whatsoever after parting ways with his friends.
"Speaking of which, the traveler asked us to bring him a few pieces of crystal ore when we returned."
"However, since you're about to leave Mondstadt, I'll help you take your share with you."
"By the way, do you need a pickaxe?"
"However, the pickaxe I'm using seems to be of poor quality; it always breaks after a few swings..."
He smiled, revealing a set of white teeth, and Fischl seemed to see the sunlight fade away, revealing Bennett's true appearance.
—The way you act like an idiot.
Thinking of this, Fischl turned his head away, no longer looking at Bennett in front of him.
At this point, Fischl had already decided where she wanted to go.
The next stop... will probably be Liyue.
...
On the other side, Frey also woke up in bed.
She woke up without even having time to put on her shoes, and rushed out of the room barefoot.
Qin, sitting on the sofa in the hall, was looking out the window when she quickly shifted her gaze to the table in front of her.
When no one was around, Qin closed her eyes and slowly put her hands together in prayer.
Every year around this time, Qin would return home and practice these movements continuously.
This is the posture used by the Faithful Order in prayer to the gods, and also...
"Happy birthday..."
The sudden noise from upstairs interrupted Qin's next move.
Qin looked up at the second floor and then went up.
She could sense the direction from which the noise came—it was her brother's room.
As they walked deeper into the second floor, the door, which was usually ajar, was pushed open.
Frey stood at the gate, emanating an aura as if she had witnessed the devastation that had befallen Mondstadt.
However, this aura quickly disappeared.
Then came a sigh.
The sigh seemed to release a sense of relief, yet it carried a hint of sadness.
Before Qin could figure out what was wrong with her mother, Frey had already turned around.
Frey turned around and was clearly taken aback when she saw Jean. She hadn't noticed Jean walking behind her before.
"You're back."
Jean's expression was somewhat complicated, but Frey smiled at Jean as if she didn't notice.
"You should also take care of your health while you're working."
After years of polite greetings, I still didn't receive a reply from Qin.
However, Frey was already used to it, and she turned to walk towards her room.
"Mother."
Qin called out to Frey.
Frey was somewhat surprised, because this was the first time in so many years that Jean had taken the initiative to call out to her.
She turned around and found that Qin had been watching her the whole time.
"Mother, what did you encounter in Inazuma?"
"Did you...meet your brother?"
Frey was taken aback when she heard this; she should have known that Jean would ask this question sooner or later.
As for whether or not I met him...
"Of course I ran into them..."
Frey lowered her head and spoke.
She thought that failing to bring Mu Xian back would make it difficult for her to bring up the matter.
But when she actually said it, she found it wasn't as difficult as she had imagined.
"He's still the same as before; when others look at him, he always shyly looks away..."
"But he's grown a lot taller, taller than you, taller than both of the Leganfenders."
"The men of Gunnhild are no weaker than those of Legonfind..."
She wanted to tell Mu Xian everything, to tell the two people in front of her who were related to him by blood.
