Come along with us obediently

"Jean, do you even know what you're talking about?" Jams said, feeling both indignant and bold. "If I really did something to Klee, it would have started at least three years ago. So whether I did it or not, I wouldn't admit it!"

"That's not what I meant," Jean replied, giving him a disdainful look. "I'm talking about the changes in Klee. Do they have anything to do with you?"

"Changes in Klee? She's still the same as before, isn't she?" Jams squinted his eyes, vaguely guessing that Jean wanted to ask about Klee's advancement in the Pyro Ascension.

Seeing him feign ignorance, Jean no longer beat around the bush. "I noticed that Klee's affinity with fire elements suddenly improved, which is highly unusual. She must have been stimulated by something."

Upon hearing this, Jams shrugged and put on an innocent expression. "I just made her a bowl of fish soup and rice, and she enjoyed it. Does that count as a stimulation?"

"Is that all?" Jean locked her gaze with Jams, her dignified presence as the Knight Commander filling the room with tension.

"That's all," Jams met her gaze without hesitation, while his brain raced to come up with a strategy.

Klee's advancement in the Pyro Ascension was a good thing, but it also made Jams appear highly suspicious.

Jean now clearly suspected a connection between Klee's advancement and Jams.

The innocent shall suffer for the guilty. The secrets of the system must never be revealed!

With that in mind, Jams lowered his head and looked at the small Klee in his arms, his eyes filled with fondness.

"Knight Commander Jean, isn't it a good thing that Klee is getting stronger? Even I'm happy for her. Why do you look so worried?"

A secret technique, moral manipulation!

Even as an outsider, I feel happy for Klee. As her guardian, aren't you ashamed of yourself for asking all these questions?

"I..." Jean opened her mouth but hesitated.

To be honest, she couldn't feel any joy at all.

Klee was already troublesome enough before, and now she's not weakening but getting even stronger. Who can handle that?

But Jean also realized that Jams was avoiding her questions.

Everyone has their own secrets, and maybe she shouldn't pry too much.

After a moment of silence, Jean nodded slightly. "Indeed, I should be happy about Klee's advancement, but she is currently very dangerous. It would be better if you don't associate with her anymore..."

"No!"

Klee, nestled in Jams' arms, suddenly raised her head and glared at Jean, pouting. "Klee likes Jams. Without Jams, Klee can't go on!"

"Klee..."

Jams felt a touch of emotion in his heart. Despite only knowing this little girl for half a day, she was loyal.

Since Klee took the initiative, I can't back down!

After all, Klee is currently my only co-op partner... I rely on her to double the fishing rewards!

"Knight Commander Jean, please don't separate us! Everything that fate bestows has already been secretly marked with a price. If being knocked out by Klee is the price for me to become stronger, then I'm willing to accept it!"

"Waaah, Jams!" Klee exclaimed, deeply moved.

"Klee!"

"Jams!"

"Klee!"

"...,"

Jean and Barbara looked at these two fools expressionlessly, wanting to say, "Stop fooling around here!"

Originally, Klee could still listen to some words, but now that she has been with Jams for half a day, she has completely let loose and become exactly like Jams.

Barbara tugged at Jean's sleeve and whispered, "Sis... who is this Jams anyway? How can he make Klee look up to him like that?"

"A fisherman," Jean said casually.

"A fisherman, but are they all so handsome?" Barbara blinked her eyes.

"A graceful fisherman."

Jean snorted and turned to walk away.

"Never mind, you two continue to fool around. I'm tired, so I'll go back first."

"Goodbye, Knight Commander Jean!" Klee sweetly called out.

"..."

Jean walked out of the Mondstadt Cathedral and sighed deeply.

This is truly the case of a daughter marrying off and water being poured out. In just half a day, she, as Klee's guardian, has become an insignificant presence.

"Jester, it turns out that I'm the one at fault."

In this city, there is one more sorrowful person.

...

"Jams, Klee, you two have gone a bit too far!"

Inside the cathedral, Barbara raised her hand and lightly tapped Jams and Klee on the head.

"Sis... Jean is a gentle person, and she tends to overthink things. Once she calms down a bit, you two should talk to her properly and not truly make her sad."

"Don't worry, I just had a moment of inspiration and suddenly figured out how to console Knight Commander Jean!" Jams said, with a slight smile, as if he had thought of something interesting.

"What do you want to do to sis... Knight Commander Jean?" Barbara's eyes showed a cautious look.

"You'll find out tomorrow."

"I hope it's not some bad idea."

"hey, what kind of)bad thoughts could I have?"

...

The next morning.

Jean got up on time, washed up, and as soon as she walked out of her house, two figures suddenly jumped out and blocked her path.

Jams loudly declared, "Fair lady, please halt!"

Jean furrowed her brows slightly. "Jams, Klee, why are you here?"

Klee, with a small backpack on her back, hopped over to Jean and affectionately hugged her beautiful leg.

"Good morning, Knight Commander Jean! Let's go on an adventure together with Klee!"

"You two can go and play, why bring me along?"

Jean pushed Klee away, but Klee still clung tightly to her thigh.

"Ah, I knew it would be like this. Knight Commander Jean, look at this," Klee said.

Klee took out a "Red Apple" from her backpack.

The terrifying power of the Pyro element made the cool morning air become dry, and Jean's heart also throbbed violently.

Step, step, step...

Jams walked up to Jean and confidently embraced her fragrant shoulder, blowing gently in her ear. "Knight Commander Jean, don't you want your ruling city of Mondstadt to be turned into ruins?"

"What, what do you want to do?" Jean clenched her teeth, her eyes filled with embarrassment.

"It's simple, just come along with us obediently."
