One year later, on Soaring Eagle Beach, Columbia and Mazeren were sitting in front of a campfire with a man and a floating spirit.

"So, you are merchants from Winter Solstice."

Paimon said to Mazeren and Columbia, who nodded.

"Well, although it's not nice to say it, neither of you has the face of Zhidong. You should be from Liyue, right?"

Maizeron nodded, and Paimon looked at Columbia.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell what country you are from."

Columbia chuckled.

"Of course you can't tell, I'm a fairy~"

Ying didn't react much, just confused, but Paimon exclaimed in the air.

"Fairies...Fairies! A legendary race! They are actually real. It turns out that fairies were once humans."

"Paimon, why are you so shocked?"

"Ying! She is a fairy!"

Paimon floated in the air, taking small steps in the void.

"Fairies are very beautiful! And their eyes and singing are the best in all of Teyvat!"

Paimon floated to Columbia's side and massaged her shoulders and back. Like a dog, Paimon smiled and said to Columbia.

"Um, Columbia, can you sing a song for us? Ying wants to listen!"

"?!Σ(?д?|||)??"

Before Ying could say anything, Columbia looked towards Maizeron.

"Do you want to hear it?"

"Don't worry about me, singing is your freedom."

Under the starry sky, melodious singing rang out on the beach and floated in the wind.

Paimon, Ying, and Maizeron were all mesmerized by the sound. Even the fish gathered in the shallows and the birds that were still awake circled in the sky.

When the song ended, the fish and birds lingered and were reluctant to leave, until Ying killed a bird with a sword and caught a fish with one hand.

The birds scatter and the fish dive.

"Ying, isn't it a bad idea for us to do this? After all, they are also attracted by the singing."

"If I hadn't caught you, I would have eaten grilled fish."

Paimon shut up. Columbia looked at Paimon and Ying, then turned to Maizeron and said.

"It's nice to travel occasionally and meet such interesting people."

"Well, although we are traveling on official funds."

Why are Columbia and Mezeron here? Actually, it’s because Piero doesn’t like them.

Everyone else has something to do, and it’s fine if you two are fine, but you still show your affection in front of me all day long. How can I tolerate this?

So a transfer order came to Columbia and Mazeren.

"Since it is difficult to obtain the Heart of God, you two are required to travel to various countries to help your colleagues obtain the Heart of God."

With just a few words, the two of them were sent out of winter. Originally, they thought the Queen would react, but they didn't expect that the Queen had already wanted to kick them out.

If you can't help, just help. Anyway, the help is fake, and the public travel is real. It is said that when Pantarone heard the news, he was so angry that he went directly to Piero, but it was useless.

Before leaving, Pantalone came to see him off.

"Maizelen, I hope the bill isn't too outrageous."

The smiling look made Maizelen shudder.

Afterwards, they came to Jingfu Port, planning to go to Mond first to meet Rosaline.

When passing by Soaring Eagle Beach, Maizeron saw Ying sitting on the beach with her chin propped up, fishing, and fragments of memory flashed through his mind again.

The memory is of this blonde girl fishing and catching an unconscious white floating spirit.

After telling Columbia what he saw, Columbia waited curiously on the side.

The two watched Ying fishing for half an hour without catching any fish, and Maizelen thought his memory was confused.

Just as they were about to leave, Ying caught a white floating spirit. Columbia and Mazeren looked at each other and decided to contact Ying, after all, it was related to Mazeren's memory.

So Columbia and Mazeren took advantage of the unconscious Paimon to talk to Ying, and Mazeren woke up Paimon who was choking on water.

What's strange is that Paimon actually knew to save her Ying, which is very strange. Of course, Columbia and Mazeren don't care.

What they care about is memory, the memory of Mezeren.

Ying appeared twice in Maizeren's memory, which means that Ying and Maizeren may have known each other before.

Back to the present, Ying plucked the bird's feathers, gutted and scaled the fish, and roasted them next to the campfire.

Maizeron took out a picnic blanket from the Eye of God space, and took out some snacks and teapots and cups.

"Have some snacks, special winter snacks."

Maizeron poured a cup of tea for Paimon and Ying respectively, and they thanked him and took it.

Mazeren poured tea for himself and Columbia. After dinner, the four of them fell asleep with the sky as their quilt and the ground as their bed.

The next day, just as the sun rose from the sea level, Maizeron woke up and looked at the rising sun.

Maizeron stretched, stood up and walked towards the forest. In the forest, Maizeron took out a spear and began to swing it. After an hour, he changed to a sword and continued to swing it.

After another hour of training, Maizelun took a bath in the Starfall Lake. When the thunder roared, he reached into the lake and electrocuted the fish that approached the spear.

Maizeron found some straw, pierced the fish gills, changed his clothes, and went back the way he came, picking a few apples and sunset fruits on the way.

Carrying the fish and the fruit, I returned to the beach. Columbia and Ying were already awake and chatting, but Paimon was still sleeping soundly.

"Good morning Columbia, good morning Ying."

"Good morning, Maizelen." x2

"This is the fish I caught, and some fruit. Let's have breakfast with this, Ying, and help light the fire."

Meiselen gutted and scaled the fish, cut the apple into pieces and stuffed it into the fish's belly.

Then seal the fish belly with a wooden stick, place the fish next to the campfire and grill it.

During the barbecue, the fragrance and sweetness of the apples will be integrated into the fish meat. A fragrance of apples comes, and Paimon, who is still sleeping soundly, smells the fragrance, wakes up immediately, and comes to the grilled fish with his mouth watering.

"Ying, did you make this? Can I eat it?"

"Hey, hey, I just woke up and I'm a little hungry. So, are you guys up so early?"

"Is it early? It's already ten o'clock and the sun is shining on my butt."

"Well...I slept a little late last night."

Ying shook her head helplessly. Soon the fish was grilled. Maizeron used lotus leaf as a plate and cut the fish into two parts. He gave the most delicious part of the middle part of the fish to Columbia.

Maizelen ate the fish head and tail cleanly and threw the lotus leaves and fish bones into the fire.

Paimeng looked at Ying eagerly, but Ying simply cut the fish head into two and gave half to Paimeng.

The moment Columbia, Ying and Paimon put the fish into their mouths, their eyes lit up.

He quickly finished off all the fish, and then, like Maizelen, he threw the fish bones and lotus leaves into the fire, and waited until the fire was almost burned before putting it out.

"We are going to Mondstadt next and stay there for a while. Then we will go to Liyue. What about you?"

Mazeren packed his things while asking Paimon and Ying questions.

"We too, we too! Ying wants to find her brother, and we are going to travel around the world!"

Ying nodded, and Meizelen touched his chin.

"In that case, let's travel together. More people means more people to look after us. What do you think?"

Ying looked at the hand that Maizelen extended to her, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook it.

"Please take care of me, Maizelen."

"Same to you, Ying."

Paimon was held in Columbia's arms and rubbed. Paimon tried to break free but it was useless.

"It's so comfortable to hug Paimon. He's soft, like a plush toy."

Columbia pinched Paimon's face, and tears welled up in Paimon's eyes.

"Paimon is not a stuffed animal!"

Of course, no one paid attention to her rebuttal, and Ying did not turn back and continued to move forward. Soon the group arrived in front of the Seven Days Statue at Xingluo Lake. Ying looked at the statue and wondered what she was thinking.

"This is the statue of the God of Wind! The one on it is Barbatos, the God of Wind. The God of Wind is a powerful demon god, and he is also the first generation god."

Paimon explained in Columbia's arms. Ying looked at the statue of the God of Wind and unconsciously reached out to touch it.

The next second, the statue of the God of Wind lit up, and the wind element flowed into Ying's body through the statue of the God of Wind.

Ying can use the wind element.

"Columbia and Maizeron were stunned for a moment when they saw this scene, but they quickly returned to normal."

"It's incredible that you can use elemental power without the Eye of God. Now I know why the doctor likes human experiments so much."

"PhD?"

Ying looked at Mazeren in confusion, and Paimon in his arms introduced him to Ying again.

"The Doctor is the executive officer of the Fatui. He was once a student of the Sumeru Academy. He was expelled from the Academy because of human experiments."

"The expelled Doctor went to Solstice and became an executive officer."

"But this happened many years ago. The Doctor may have died of old age. After all, no human can live for more than a hundred years. But how do you know about the Doctor?"

Paimon looked at Mazeren and Columbia suspiciously, and Mazeren shrugged.

"We are from the Winter Solstice, and we know every single executive officer. It is no secret that executive officers are in Winter Solstice. On the contrary, executive officers often appear in the public's field of vision in Winter Solstice."

"For example, the executive officer, Mr. Rooster, is the mayor of the largest city in Solstice. He has great power, and he handles the government affairs of all cities in Solstice."

Maizeron said casually and Paimon nodded.

"I see. I thought the executive officers were elusive."

Paimon pouted.

"Compared to the Executor, Paimon is more special. After all, I have never seen a creature like you, ever."

Paimon's face froze, and his little body trembled for no reason.

"It's just a joke. After all, there are so many creatures in Teyvat, and it's impossible for me to have seen them all."

"After all, I have only been born for a few hundred years. A few hundred years is not enough for me to absorb all the knowledge of Teyvat."

Columbia smiled, and Paimon breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a hint of fear in her eyes when she looked at Columbia.

Ying didn't notice what was happening here because she was pulling Maizeron to teach her how to use elemental power.

Ying's learning talent is not to be underestimated, and she soon mastered the elemental power. She condensed a vortex in her hand, gathered the enemy, and then the vortex exploded, causing a lot of damage.

Concentrating the elemental power, it was released forward, creating a huge tornado that swept away everything in its path.

"You learn very quickly, Ying. There are not many people who can master elemental power so quickly."

Ying nodded and said to Maizeron.

"Thank you, Mezeren."

Maizeron nodded, and then Columbia and Paimon also came to congratulate Ying.

Ying glanced at Paimon in Columbia's arms, and she said something without reason.

"It should be very comfortable. I also want to be held in your arms."

"Ying, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly in a daze?"
