Seeing Orion holding the white-haired, large-breasted nun, Skirk raised an eyebrow and asked Yunli, "Do you know her?"
Yunli shook her head. "I don't know her. I've never seen a nun dressed so... seductively. The people from Danlun Temple dress quite conservatively."
Skirk stopped talking, stood up, and walked straight over.
In Orion's eyes, it was normal for Yunli not to know this nun, as she wasn't a character from the honkai: star rail worldview at all.
Or, to be more specific, she wasn't human at all.
This nun's name is "Sanzomon." That's right, Beast. This is a Digimon from Digimon.
[Name: Sanzomon
Level: Ultimate
Type: Monk Type
Attribute: Vaccine
Adaptation Field: VB
Ultimate Skills: "Duzi Chun Sutra": Makes decadent and depraved Digimon constantly listen to words of gratitude to awaken their conscience.

Profile: A Monk Type Digimon traveling the Digital World for true enlightenment. She has overcome many difficult trials, viewing the daily suffering she endures as cultivation.
Can Evolve into: Venusmon, Shakamon]
It should have been like the description above, or rather, the normal Sanzomon should look like that, but the Sanzomon in Orion's arms was clearly different.
The Sanzomon, who should have had golden hair and a golden kasaya, now had white hair and a black kasaya, holding a black tin staff that the original Sanzomon did not possess.
Aside from that, there were no other major differences: the same golden eyes, the same large breasts, the same bare feet, and the same prayer beads used as anklets.
Orion was greatly shocked. The only place he could think of where Sanzomon would appear was in console games, since he hadn't played the Digimon mobile games released by Fujiko. Didn't that mean she must have been pulled from a console title?
But if this Wish could pull characters from console games, wouldn't things spiral out of control? Many console games don't have gacha elements!
What if the characters pulled weren't righteous ones?
I'm sitting here eating hot pot and pulling cards, and suddenly a bunch of characters like Sephiroth, Mirror Master, Arthas Menethil, Wyzen pop up—what am I supposed to do? What about Teyvat?
And what's worse, what if some universe-destroying people showed up?, like Unicron, Giygas, The Absolute Solver, or Void Termina? What would happen to my universe then?
Orion instantly applied a layer of mucus to Sanzomon, put her aside, and started studying the System Codex himself.
Skirk and Yunli walked over, greeted Sanzomon, and then the three of them watched Orion flip through the codex.
A few minutes later, Orion stood up, speechless.
"Bootleg games count too?"
Damn it, I really shouldn't have called out Aha.
This Sanzomon wasn't the real Sanzomon at all; she was a character called "Demonized Sanzang Beast" that was modified for profit in a domestic bootleg game Orion had downloaded for fun a while ago.
Orion looked at Sanzomon speechlessly. "So, do you want to wander around Teyvat?"
Sanzomon sensed her surroundings, then shook her head. "This Venerable One has no interest. Just find me a place for quiet cultivation and teach me how to attain Zen heart."
Orion nodded. "Then go find a room in Immernachtreich Castle first. Don't go anywhere else yet; this castle will have another use later."
Sanzomon shook her head. "This Venerable One will not wander around. You just need to take me inside."
After speaking, Sanzomon suddenly moved closer to Orion. "However, this Venerable One observes that you and I have fate. How about dedicating some time each night to dual cultivation with me to help me achieve the position of the Joyful Buddha?"
Orion's face darkened upon hearing this. Who asks for a fight the moment they meet? So, with a wave of his hand, he recalled Sanzomon, telling her to find a place to stay herself.
He'd lecture her later that night!
Yunli and Skirk had thought Sanzomon would be traveling with them, but Orion recalled her instantly.
After dealing with the situation by claiming the character was a shut-in, the three of them left Skirk's Abyss Space. Yunli immediately spotted her little friend Clara and happily ran over to help her carry plates.
The bond formed during the Trailblazer period—isn't it wonderful?
After quickly eating a few bites of breakfast, Orion had to hurry to the cathedral; Barbara and Amber were waiting.
Before leaving, Orion glanced at Skirk, who was staying home. Unusually, Skirk wasn't meditating; she was reading a novel.
Orion leaned in for a look. "What are you reading? You look engrossed."
"'Battle Through the Heavens.' It's quite good, but the updates are a bit slow." Skirk showed him the spine. "Have you read it?"
Orion: "...Ah, er... No need, you keep reading. You mentioned wanting Lumine to learn the Burning Secrets—did you read that here?"
"Yes."
"Alright, never mind then."
Case closed. Skirk might be seeing herself as the "old master" character. Although she hasn't officially taken Lumine as a disciple, she seems to have found other enjoyment through her.
At the same time, Orion felt that he couldn't temporarily reveal his identity as the author to Skirk. He was afraid of being cornered and pressured for updates.
Rushing to the cathedral, he met Barbara, who had just finished morning prayers, and Amber, who was just recovering from the after-effects of last night.
Both of them had seemed quite proactive when the atmosphere was right yesterday, but in reality, it was just the mood of the moment.
A long while later, after helping the two girls recover their strength, Orion left the cathedral.
Now that he had eaten well and his "brother" had eaten well, it naturally wouldn't do to enjoy the meal and then curse the cook; he used recovery as an excuse to spend some quality time together.
The two young girls were quite interesting. They were clearly on the verge of confessing their feelings to each other, yet they were still a bit shy about kissing.
However, judging by the current friendship levels, Orion was confident he could get a kiss in two days, his "brother" could get kissed two days after that, and then two days after that, he would see if he could fulfill Jean's and Eula's requests all at once!
Leaving the cathedral, Orion smiled as he walked, looking at Mondstadt, which was already decorated with lanterns and streamers, ready for celebration.
This lively scene is only fitting for the Windblume Festival in the game, right?
Children were running around in groups, yelling about where to buy food and which place made the best candy, causing Orion to smile knowingly.
How about taking Klee around these two days? Orion thought to himself.
However, Orion still had one unanswered question in his heart.
It was still about the plot.
Right now, his mission list still contained an unfinished Epilogue mission called "Epilogue," and the status of this mission showed a line of red text: Key character for this mission is occupied; mission progress can only continue once the occupation is lifted.
Who is occupied? Lumine?
Didn't she just go to practice the Purple Demon Eyes? What's so occupying about that?
It wasn't until Orion casually strolled near the Fatui outpost that the quiet conversation between a male and female Fatui member reached his ears.
"Did you hear? Lady Signora's disappearance is supposedly related to the Giant Wolf that appeared that day!"
"Really? I hope Lady Signora is alright. And I heard that if they can't find any trace of Lady Signora, headquarters will send a new Harbinger!"
His steps paused, slightly hesitant. After a moment of thought, he realized the truth!
"I forgot about Rosalyne!"
