(T/N: I'm back! Miss me?)
"The night's fools' play must end. You have no audience now. All noble sacrifices shall be etched upon the ice, enduring as long as the nation itself."
A man wearing a coat and a half-mask stepped out from the shadows. The others stood before an ice coffin, bowing their heads in respect.
"Under Her Majesty the Tsaritsa, we shall obtain the authority of the gods."
The screen went dark.
White subtitles appeared on the black screen.
[The interlude has ended. As previously agreed by vote, the next video will automatically play: "The Morn a Thousand Roses Brings." New video entries have appeared.]
[1. The Morn a Thousand Roses Brings: Wisdom is the enemy of the God of Wisdom. The Akademiya of Sumeru, while desecrating the deity, also seeks to wield power that does not belong to them.]
[2. Moonlight Merriment: What begins as an ordinary food competition leads to the pursuit of an ancient recipe, revealing what historical events?]
[3. The Crane Returns on the Wind: Ningguang decides to rebuild the Jade Chamber. Lumine actively participates as well. While searching for materials, what story does Lumine witness?]
[4. Perilous Trail: For various reasons, multiple parties from Liyue gather at The Chasm. There, they witness the truth behind the disappearance of the Yaksha Bosacius several hundred years ago...]
[Paimon: So it was Signora's funeral.]
[Ningguang: Mm, the coffin is quite beautiful. Not the least bit perfunctory.]
[Tartaglia: She is a noble Harbinger, after all. The farewell ceremony should be somewhat dignified.]
[Signora: I am not dead yet. Do not try to provoke me.]
[Lumine: What does it matter if we provoke you? You are a defeated opponent.]
[Paimon: Right. No one will avenge you anyway.]
[Tartaglia: Paimon, it is better not to say the latter part. Signora's ability to get things done is still very strong.]
[Pierro: Everything is fine now. There is no need to continue discussing.]
[Dainsleif: Pierro... a very familiar name.]
[Pierro: Dainsleif, has your memory deteriorated this much?]
[Paimon: So many unfamiliar characters have appeared again.]
[Tartaglia: Pierro is the organizer of the Fatui. It is said his strength is in no way inferior to a god's. Moreover, he is far less easygoing than the gods. Paimon, you should be careful.]
[Paimon: Not inferior to a god!]
[Zhongli: Pierro seems to wield the power of a Descender, different from the elemental power of the gods.]
[Venti: It is the same source as the power of the witches. But it is nothing to be afraid of.]
[Paimon: That is not scary? And you say you are the weakest god.]
[Venti: Ehe, I am indeed the weakest god. But perhaps I am also the strongest god.]
[Paimon: The strongest god?]
[Venti: Using divine power to block wind and snow, keeping Mondstadt warm like spring, has consumed much of my strength. But I am also the God of Hope. When despair comes, everyone's hope can give me power.]
[Ningguang: The God of Hope...]
[Venti: A little secret. Because the livestream has already changed the history of Teyvat, a battle with the Heavenly Principles is inevitable. I need to give everyone some confidence.]
Paimon said, "We have not missed the Sabzeruz Festival, have we?"
"Let us hurry and find Dunyarzad. I bet she is near the Grand Bazaar, the place she showed us before."
Sure enough, little Paimon was quite accurate. They found Dunyarzad.
Dunyarzad turned to look at Lumine. "Lumine and Paimon, you are so punctual. I am so glad you made it back to celebrate the Lesser Lord Kusanali's birthday."
