"It's not a big deal."
"It seems Alice made some kind of agreement with someone decades ago."
"And now, that person is about to come knocking."
Lisa sighed somewhat innocently.
Thinking about this matter, she felt utterly bewildered.
Encountering something that originally should have nothing to do with her.
For Lisa, who always adheres to the principle of being as lazy as possible and never standing up if she can do something lying down...
This was clearly a difficult problem to handle.
"An agreement with Alice..."
"Hiss, I suddenly feel a bit of a headache."
Kai also had a headache.
You know, after Klee's birth...
To take care of her daughter...
In fact, in the later stages, Alice's personality had significantly mellowed.
She rarely did things like simply blowing up Stormterrors Lair just to get a few more ruins.
But even so, a restrained Alice...
Still very cleanly trained Klee into a bomb-making genius who gave Jean endless headaches.
In this situation... thinking about an agreement made decades ago...
And that period was when Alice, as a famous adventurer...
Was causing mischief all over the continent of Teyvat.
To be honest... if you said Kai felt nothing at all...
That would clearly be unlikely.
"The matter is indeed very troublesome."
"So, what exactly was the agreement?"
It's better to ask about the specific situation in detail.
Kai made this decision internally.
If it's a problem related to bomb manufacturing techniques, then forget it.
Tell Jean, arrange a place for them to stay.
And let Alice solve it herself when she returns.
But if it's related to combat, or even enemies...
Hmm... quickly put on a disguise.
Before she enters Mondstadt's territory, he'll crush her in minutes!
"I don't know..."
"Alice only told me about this before she left for the expedition."
"But she didn't reveal any details about the specific agreement."
Lisa sighed with considerable regret.
Thinking of Alice's cunning smile before she left...
She couldn't help but wish time could flow back to before the expedition.
To electrocute that guy until she doubted life itself, making her lie in a hospital bed for three to five months.
That way, the upcoming trouble could be decisively handed over to her to deal with herself.
"However, although she didn't tell me the details of the agreement..."
"She did say that this matter wouldn't bring any impact to Mondstadt."
Seeing Kai's equally melancholic face...
Lisa thought for a moment and added a supplementary remark.
"Is that so?"
"If that's the case, then we'll only know how to solve it after the so-called trouble arrives."
Alice's ability to prank people is truly significant.
Even after she went on an expedition, she could still make people feel a headache.
After she returns, he absolutely must inform Mr. Stanley.
At the very least, find a reason to deduct all her adventurer benefits.
Consider it compensation for solving this troublesome matter.
"Then let's put this matter aside for now."
"It's almost time, shall we go to the party?"
Taking a deep breath.
Trying to calm himself down, Kai looked up and suggested.
"Hmm, it seems that's the only way."
Without even knowing the details of the agreement...
Even if they wanted to solve it, there clearly wasn't a good way.
Lisa nodded, somewhat troubled.
However, with Jean and Kai around, there shouldn't be any major problems.
"Let's put off minor matters until Alice returns."
"If it involves combat, then..."
Lisa lightly clenched her hand.
Well, as the Witch of the Purple Rose...
Lisa's combat abilities are actually quite impressive.
"I'm back."
Leading Lisa out of the library.
After pushing the door open and stepping back in, the office was once again bustling.
The Traveler and Barbatos, after Kai left...
Had already arrived at the Knights of Favonius Headquarters during off-hours.
In the corner, Barbara stood with a flushed face.
Staring at her older sister diligently working, Barbara's clear, azure eyes were filled with admiration.
At this moment, she exuded the 'sisterly power' from the rumors.
If only the communication between these two young women wasn't so clumsy...
Then it would surely become the most envied sisterly bond in all of Mondstadt, right?
Seeing the admiring look from his sister-in-law, Kai instinctively added a thought in his mind.
"Barbara is here too?"
Lisa, who had also followed them in, naturally saw her.
Seeing Barbara's rare appearance in the Acting Grand Master's office, Lisa's usually languid expression clearly showed a hint of surprise.
Evidently, this young woman who could bring vitality to all of Mondstadt...
Even Lisa, the moment she saw her,
Couldn't help but feel her mood brighten.
"Sister Lisa."
Barbara quickly greeted her.
She shifted her feet slightly, seeming a little nervous in front of Lisa.
"Hmm~"
"I say, Jean, even Barbara is here."
"How come your work isn't finished yet?"
Lisa replied to Barbara with a smile.
Walking to the desk and looking at Jean, who was still working hard,
Lisa couldn't help but rub her head.
She felt quite a headache over her best friend's workaholic nature.
"Ah, this..."
"Even I get this treatment; even if it were Barbara, it would be impossible to make Jean change in the slightest, right?"
Kai really wanted to say this.
But seeing Barbara's flushed face, secretly glancing at her sister,
It was an incredibly cute scene.
He probably just decided to protect his sister-in-law's smile.
Kai thought about it and still didn't say the words that would most likely make Barbara puff out her cheeks in annoyance,
And start a 'fight' with him, the 'evil perpetrator' who stole her sister.
"So, how much work is left?"
He walked towards Jean with a faint smile.
Seeing her furiously writing, Kai asked softly.
"One minute..."
Jean was concise, continuing to write her work content frantically.
The speed made Kai's eyelids twitch.
"Is her hand speed that fast?"
He couldn't help but feel a little pressure.
"Cough, cough..."
"By the way, where's Diluc?"
Seeing that the work was indeed almost finished,
Kai coughed twice softly.
He quickly ignored the matter and looked up to ask.
"Master Diluc said he's waiting for us at the Angel's Share tavern."
"He said the venue has been cleared, and he's just waiting for us to go over~"
Paimon floated over lightly.
Her adorable little face showed a silly smile, clearly a little excited for the upcoming party.
"I see."
"Then..."
Kai's gaze fell on his wife.
"We'll just have to wait."
