Jason's Secret?

Chapter 23

Lumine glanced down from the attic above. Only the restaurant owner was staying on the second floor with the lights on.

The witch named Mona left her notebook and a quill on the table, nowhere to be seen nearby.

So, she walked downstairs from the attic.

She changed into an off-shoulder white casual dress before.

Since crossing into this world, she has been sleeping outside in the open air. This is the first time for her to wear this kind of casual dress in this world.

The psychology of a little girl who wants to show off sprouted in her heart.

Lumine's crystal clear skin was rosy due to the hot bath, like an unripe apple tempting others to pick her up.

"Jason!" She shouted.

"What are you cooking so late?" Lumine walked to his side and asked.

Jason can see her beautiful blossoms under the collarbone from his angle.

After seeing Lumine's breast size, an uncontrollable idea arose in his mind.

Mona is a shame compared to Lumine!

"Well, I'm preparing a soup for Mona." Jason coughed and tried to distract himself. He didn't want something to rise while staring at her blossoms.

Then, he pointed to the other side, where something else was cooking. "And my dinner."

He's cooking a simple wheat porridge for dinner.

Fortunately, there is rice here on the Teyvat continent. He likes rice very much.

Before crossing, rice was the staple of his country. So, it used to be an essential part of his diet.

He was very busy today and had no time to eat anything. So he's pretty hungry.

Lumine smelled the pleasant and delicious aroma from the soup and couldn't help but burp.

Then, she covered her mouth shyly. She wanted to dig a hole and hide inside due to embarrassment.

"Did you eat too much meat before?"

"Umm...yes..."

"Then, would you like to have some porridge?"

The cooking was almost done, so Jason scooped half a bowl of freshly cooked wheat porridge for her.

Lumine carefully took it and sat at the table beside him, feeling very happy in her heart.

She took a quick peek at the notebook on the table during the process.

But she found the content of the book to be completely incomprehensible.

After a while, there was some movement from the ladder beside the dry chimney.

Mona came down from the roof and nodded politely at them, and then said, "According to my hydromancy, Fischl is in the direction of Inazuma."

"Can you only determine her direction with your Hydromancy? If so, then she should be near the Inazuma Castle."

Mona is a witch with hydro vision, and her astrology is at the highest level in Mondstadt.

However, her popularity is not good in the city because she cannot tell the result of her divination euphemistically.

Mona is unique among astrologers — others may speak with great ostentation for money, but Mona has never done so. Nor does she dress up or mince her words, even if her results are unpleasant to hear: "You won't amount to anything even if you join the Adventurers' Guild." "You've got no chance with him. In fact, he will soon leave you" — such is the nature of her rejoinders.

Her blunt nature has resulted in plummeting numbers of people coming to have their fortunes told. But Mona isn't one to complain, for that just leaves her with more time for her personal research.

"I have no other choice but to send a letter to the Adventurers' Guild over there." Jason groaned and said.

"If you need Fischl for something urgent, I can do it in her stead." Mona offered her help proactively.

Jason asked the system for her information.

Mona: Lv11

Skill: Hydromancy

Mona had already mastered astrology before gaining her vision compared to ordinary vision holders who simply use their elemental power for destruction. She merged her astrology with hydro element to create Hydromancy.

Mona can use Hydromancy to do incredible things, such as Mirror Reflection of Doom and Stellaris Phantasm.

She's also an expert in the exploration of ruins. She can easily find some traps ahead of time due to her divination.

Although she is not keen on doing so.

"I want someone to stare at the Fair Lady."

"You're not suitable for such a job. I'll wait for Fischl and Oz to come back."

Jason said while tasting a small mouthful of the soup. He found that the soup was ready to eat, so he turned off the stove.

He didn't want Mona to take over such a task. It was not because she didn't have the ability to do so but because of her identity.

Mona's Hydromancy is quite mysterious and unpredictable, and it is easy for her to spy on someone.

But Mona belongs to Hexenzirkel, an organization of witches that conducts Irminsul explorations and gathers around for "formal tea parties."

If she is found spying on one of Fatui's Harbingers, they will directly clash with her organization.

At that time, Mona's situation would become quite dire. He didn't want to trouble her for such a thing.

"The Fair Lady?" Lumine narrowed her eyes cutely.

Why does Jason ask others to stare at this woman? Is there something special about her?

Why doesn't he stare at her himself?

Lumine didn't understand what they were talking about.

"She's an executive officer of the Fatui, also called La Signora!"

Jason couldn't help laughing when he saw her bewildered expression. She looked pretty cute with a confused face.

Mona found that her soup was ready, so she came over with a bowl and spoon. Then she asked suspiciously, "Signora is quite far away from here. Why do you need to monitor her?"

"No, I'm pretty sure she's in Mondstadt!" Jason said with confidence. From his past memories, he knew Signora was definitely here.

After hearing this, Mona shook her hands and almost threw her bowl out.

Among the eleven executive officers under the command of Tsaritsa, the Cryo Archon of Snezhnaya, anyone who comes out is someone who can run amok in other six countries.

Even Jean, the current acting grandmaster of the knights of Favonius, is not as good as the other party in terms of status or reputation.

At the very least, one must be the head of a state to be of equal status to the eleven Harbingers.

The main question is, why did La Signora come so quietly to Mondstadt?

"I feel dangerous. Let's report Signora's arrival to the Knights of Favonius." Mona said, trying to push the responsibility to the knights. She didn't have the ability to deal with the Fatui.

She was glad that her hand was still steady; otherwise, if the precious soup made by Jason was dropped, she would feel heartache for a long time.

"If the Knights of Favonius knew about it, it won't do me any good!" Suddenly Jason said something amazing.

Lumine's eyes widened in surprise after hearing such a shocking secret.

Didn't Jason and the Knights of Favonius get along before?

She also knew that the diplomatic corps of the Fatuis in Mondstadt was a very troublesome existence for the knights after hearing about it.

Previously, the knights could only spare a few people to clean up the temple of the four winds. It's not because of the lack of manpower but because most knights had to stay in the city to deter the Fatui.

Lumine decided to keep everything she heard tonight a secret.

Compared with an official organization like the Knights of Favonius, she trusted an individual like Jason more. Besides Jason her a lot compared to the knights.

Then, Lumine took a sip of the porridge, feeling sweet and delicious.
