Reinforcement

Jean's Office

"No wonder we did not receive any message this morning. Rizark is a cautious person, he would always send action logs every day in the morning and night. Grandmaster Varka was right to put this person in charge in Calla City."

Jean facing the window behind her desk muttered loud enough for us to hear. Crossing her arms, her brows furrowed.

"Jean, the situation in Mondstadt."

"I know Lisa. Let me think."

"How about sending me Jean?" Amber raised her hand.

"Amber huh..." Jean glanced at Amber. Amber grins widely.

"I will send some reinforcement. I cannot personally go, but I will send Amber, Lisa, and Noelle with the reinforcement. Also, tell Mika to go with you. Is that okay with the three of you?"

"Jean, I will wholeheartedly fulfill your mission!" Amber saluted in delight. She's prone to accept any challenges, she knows the situation is risky, which makes her even more excited.

"Jean I cannot leave you."

"Lisa, I need you there, can I trust you?" Jean said to Jean.

"Fine, treat me to a cup of tea some desserts after I return. I want to spend some time with you." Lisa stared at Jean for a moment before sighing heavily. Once Jean made up her mind, you can't change it.

"Lisa, phrasing."

"Ara, Jean you embarrassed. Fufufu, How cute."

Noticing a slight faint blush on Jean's cheeks. Lisa can't help but tease her. Jean ignored her she then turned her attention to the maid.

"I will follow your orders, Master Jean!"

Noelle bowed politely.

"I'll always leave the task with you Noelle."

Jean then glances at the people left. "As for all of you, you will stay here in case something will happen. Stormterror has been sighted nearby, we cannot leave Monstadt unprotected."

"Yes!"

"Ma, I wanted to come with the reinforcement team. They look like a bunch of interesting people." A man with navy blue hair and an eyepatch glances at me, Lumine, and Paimon's direction.

He walks towards us while carefully observing us. I also did not falter with his gaze, I also started strongly, not daring to lose some composure.

No homo.

Kaeya is a man with a mysterious aura. Strong, confident, charming. A man loved by citizens but this person himself is lazy.

"Hello, how may we help you?"

Paimon asked when she saw Kaeya looking at us.

"Oh, you can talk? I thought it was some kind of new species of pet."

Veins popped on Paimon's forehead.

"Haah! What did you just say, you? Paimon's not a pet. Your whole family is a pet! Paimon is Paimon!"

Flailing around Paimon was angry but she didn't dare to punch her bully. I shook my head seeing her usual antics.

"Ronan, There is even meaner than you are. Men are stupid. Lumine help me."

"I'm Ronan, an Adventurer. Who are you?"

Kaeya watches Paimon with a smile. Just like seeing a new animal in the zoo. When I talked to him he turned his attention to me.

"How could I forget to introduce myself, what a blunder. This name is Kaeya."

Stretching his hand for a handshake. I took it and shook hands.

"This is Lumine, my companion."

Lumine nods in courtesy after I introduce her.

"Hm, golden hair and eyes like a bright sun. What a beautiful girl." Kaeya's eyes glinted as he observed the girl.

Of course, I noticed that. Who would not? I know this guy. But not now. I do not know if this guy is trustworthy as he is kinda deceiving, everyone trusts this guy.

Hope he is an ally in the end.

"Of course she is. I wouldn't even be here if not for her." I answered proudly. 'Ouch' I can feel a pinch on my waist.

"Stupid pervert." I hear a whisper next to me.

Kaeya chuckled. "How interesting."

"What is Interesting? Kaeya."

Jean and Lisa approached us. Lisa's eyes shone when she saw me. How did I get on this woman's radar, now, I'm not as handsome as Aether.

"Jean, I found some peculiar individuals."

"Oh my indeed, very peculiar. So this one is Ronan. A man who conquered the coldest Blizzard. I'm very curious about how were you able to do it."

Lisa's eyes shone and her smile turned into a grin. Like a woman who found her toy. Oh, my Archon. This woman is targeting me alright. But I didn't evade her stare, I looked at her with a mischievous expression.

A thought ran into my head. I don't know where I got the courage to do this.

"Wanna know?"

Lisa's eyes squinted as she nodded.

"How about we talk about it, just the two of us."

"My, how daring. Did you conquer her with this ?"

"I don't know, Wanna try me?" I get close to her. But I stopped as there were too many people. I stepped back.

"Lisa stop it. Let's leave private matters aside. Right now things are urgent. We don't have time to prepare."

Jean stopped Lisa's antics. "Ronan, Lumine, and Paimon I presume. We need to know about the situation more from you, can we have a chat?"

"Of course. Gladly." I nodded with a smile.

Jean sent the people out from her office who were not in the reinforcement team. Amber, Lisa, Noelle, Mika, and Kaeya were left. As for Kaeya, this guy wanted to stay.

Jean said that Kaeya could give suggestions.

The conversation was longer than expected as Jean formed up a plan to deal with the Abyss Order on the road. Otherwise, if the reinforcement was discovered, it may alert the Abyss Order and attack Calla City early.

Before the reinforcement near the entrance of the blockade. Kaeya suggested forming a team to deal with the blockade first.

As for how to do it. Lumine raised her hand. She looked at me and said.

"With the teleportation, I can bring 5 people at most with me."

"Huh? Teleportation you have such lost skill?" Lisa's eyes widened.

Lumine nodded. "There is this ancient mechanism around, people think of it as a piece of ancient gimmick, but for me, it's a very useful structure."

"How wonderful, even I who read a lot of books wasn't able to find anything about these ancient structures or how to activate them." Lisa placed her hand over her mouth in shock.

Jean cupped her chin, thinking.

"Doesn't that mean we can ambush the Abyss Order? Let me in!" Amber exclaimed.

"Such an Ability. Lumine, do not tell anyone about this matter carelessly. Some people would have bad intentions."

Jean strictly said to Lumine. Lumine replied courtly with a nod. I already told her, we can trust this person. Although I cannot fully trust Kaeya as I don't have enough information about him, his work ethic cannot be denied.

"Don't worry, we trust the Knight of Favonius." I patted my chest and said seriously.

Jean moves her eyes on me.

"Where did you find such profound trust in us."

"That's secret." I squinted my eyes as I grinned widely. The reason I trust these people is not because I'm gullible or just because I have the upper hand when it comes to information. The main reason is because of Eula. This is where she works after all.

Lisa seemed to notice it. Kaeya is silent but he is no fool and cannot take a hint.

Amber and Paimon were rowdy at the side, talking about dishes. Noelle and Mika were silent all the time.
