A strange ability.
Somewhere in the Abyss of Teyvat.
Skirk was practicing her sword swings. Her eyes occasionally glanced at the light screen in front of her.
The Reincarnation System gave her a much better environment for training.
How should I put it?
As long as the sound was not muted, and she just glanced at the screen now and then, she felt endless energy.
She would never feel tired while training again.
Skirk had trained under her master since childhood. She had never returned to the surface of Teyvat.
Except for that one time she went to retrieve the All-Devouring Narwhal.
But lately, Skirk felt like something in Teyvat had changed.
She could not quite describe what kind of change it was.
"Maybe all of this is connected to that Reincarnator."
Skirk had lived for a long time. She would not naively think that just anyone could be lucky enough to be chosen by such a mysterious power.
There was definitely something fishy going on.
"Looks like I will have to find some time to visit this person named Kael."
Skirk murmured to herself.
She went back to swinging her sword.
Kael begins purifying Dvalin from the effects of the Blood of the Corrupted Dragon.
Lumine, Venti, Jean, and Diluc are talking about the missing person notice.
Even the Anemo Archon Barbatos just keeps shaking his head after hearing it.
"Even the winds of a thousand years have never brought news of your brother. I am sorry, but I really do not know anything about him."
"Also, I do not have the power to restore anyone's memories."
Venti shrugs with one arm, his smile full of apology.
"Is that so..."
Lumine speaks softly.
Judging by her expression, she does not seem too emotionally shaken.
"Actually, I have been thinking about something."
Diluc rubs his chin, hesitating to speak.
"Huh? Diluc, do you know something?" Jean quickly asks.
Diluc's face remains serious.
After a long pause, he slowly speaks: "Lumine says she lost her memories."
"If she cannot remember her past, then is it possible..."
"That the memories she does have are also fake?"
"For example, the fact that she remembers wanting to find her brother might itself be a memory error."
Huh?
Lumine instinctively leans back, her face showing shock.
Jean's eyes also widen. She looks at Diluc in disbelief: "What are you talking about?"
As she laughs, Jean's expression also grows serious.
"Now that you mention it, I just realized something."
"Amber reported to me that Lumine lost her memories and then met Kael. Before that, Kael was living alone in Starfell Valley."
"That means the two of them originally had no connection. Yet both of them can use Elemental Power without a Vision."
"Could it be..."
Jean deliberately draws out her words.
As soon as this theory comes out.
Diluc and the others immediately turn their attention to Lumine and Kael.
"Hey, could it be that you two are from the same place, and you both lost your memories?"
"Lumine remembers looking for her brother. Kael only remembers that he needs to help Lumine, and he cares about her so much..."
"Maybe Kael is actually Lumine's brother?"
"No, he is not!" Lumine suddenly shouts.
"I... I definitely remember who my brother is. It is absolutely not Kael..."
Lumine quickly explains.
She seems terrified of adding this special relationship between them.
"Besides, as blood relatives, my brother's hair color is the same as mine. Kael looks completely different from us. How is that possible?"
Yae Miko: "If he is her brother, she cannot date him properly, can she?"
Lumine: "Hey, fox, stop talking nonsense. Who wants to date him?"
Arataki Itto: "Is not Lumine's brother Aether?"
Kuki Shinobu: "Boss, you are really smart."
Aether: "....."
Kujou Sara: "Good thing Lumine's brother is in the live chat, otherwise they would have really fallen for it."
"Hey, what if the person you are looking for is not your brother, but your..."
"Boyfriend, or fiancé, or maybe even your husband?"
Jean's voice gets quieter and quieter as she speaks.
She had read about things like this in storybooks at the library when she was bored.
Hearing this.
Lumine stops arguing with Jean. She just gently shakes her head, but her face grows redder and redder.
But she is certain she did not remember wrong.
The person she is looking for is definitely her brother.
.....
Thanks to Kael's efforts.
Dvalin finally returns to normal. He is no longer corrupted by the Blood of the Corrupted Dragon.
Feeling completely light, Dvalin is finally free.
He stands quietly beside the group, lowers his head, and speaks in a deep voice: "Thank you, Mr. Kael."
"You are welcome."
"It is a pity that even the Anemo Archon Barbatos could not help Lumine find her brother."
"So, what are your plans next?" Venti smiles. "Do you want to stay in Mondstadt?"
"Maybe Jean and the others are right?"
Unfortunately, Kael and Lumine both shake their heads at the same time.
They had already made up their minds last night.
If the Anemo Archon Barbatos cannot help them, staying in Mondstadt is pointless.
They can only move on to other regions to keep searching.
"No, we have already discussed it."
"If even you cannot help, we will just have to continue to the next region."
Venti nods lightly upon hearing this.
Then, as if remembering something, he suddenly says: "Since you are continuing your journey, you should head to Liyue. It borders Mondstadt."
"But I still hope you remember the true meaning of travel."
"Even if you are looking for your brother, you should still enjoy the journey itself. Remember the scenery, the people, and the events along the way. That is what truly matters."
The dragon disaster in Mondstadt has ended.
Kael and Lumine did not get any useful information from Barbatos either.
They do not linger for long.
They decline Jean's invitation to return to Mondstadt with her. Kael and Lumine say goodbye to the three of them right at Starsnatch Cliff, and begin their journey to Liyue.
...
The sky is dark and gloomy.
Somewhere, two Abyss Order members appear out of thin air. They kneel on the ground, trembling.
"Prince, Dvalin has failed."
"A man who arrived in Mondstadt purified the Blood of the Corrupted Dragon from his body. We have lost our mental control over Dvalin."
The man referred to as the Prince frowns slightly.
But his main reaction is surprise.
"Purified the Blood of the Corrupted Dragon?"
"Was it a girl named Lumine?"
"No, it was a young man named Kael. But there is indeed a girl named Lumine with him."
Impossible.
Besides Lumine, how could anyone else cleanse it...
Wait.
"What did you say? They are together now?"
Aether: "....."
It is over. They actually found out.
Venti: "Tsk, I never thought the Prince of the Abyss Order would actually be Lumine's brother, Aether."
Furina: "I am dizzy. This is even more unbelievable than Venti being the Anemo Archon Barbatos."
Navia: "No way, Lumine. Your brother is actually with the Abyss Order?"
Yae Miko: "This is huge news. The Traveler who helped five nations is actually looking for a blood relative who leads the Abyss Order."
Charlotte: "Noted, all noted. If the Traveler is an undercover agent for the Abyss Order planted in Teyvat, this report will definitely go viral."
Lumine: "....."
Aether: "This has nothing to do with Lumine. You guys are imagining too much."
Kael: "It really has nothing to do with her. If she really wanted to be an undercover agent, she would not have tried to leave Mondstadt so quickly."
Aether: "I do not need you to tell me that."
Lumine: "Brother..."
Paimon: "Oh well, it is a past life thing anyway. Not this one."
Clorinde: "I do not think there is any need to worry. Even if Traveler Lumine really is an undercover agent, with the Reincarnator Kael around, I doubt her mind would be on anything else."
Lumine: "....."
