Chapter 53
**The word "beheading sister" spread throughout Mondstadt in just one day!**
It was also very interesting to note that Catherine's workload today nearly put her on standby.
As for the reason why the Adventurer's Guild left work so early, it was purely because Catherine had been smoking.
That's right, Catherine—the ruthless boss of the capital—is actually a machine girl.
But every adventurer knows this. Every now and then, an abnormal sentence would pop up out of nowhere, making the adventurers dare not approach the guild at night.
For a time, the entire Mondstadt was filled with "night attack" teams!

"Welcome to join NightRaid! Joining the team will give you a detonating talisman, comparable to Spark Knight's detonating talisman!"
"Join our Main Adventure Group! We can take you to fly over the snow-capped mountains of Mondstadt, cross the mountains of Liyue, and even visit the rumored Dao Wife!"
"What is this 'Main Adventure Group,' you dog lickers!"
"Yes, yes! What's the meaning of Ma Yin? Of course, our Hill Adventure Team is your final destination!"
"Brother, don't go to their adventure team!"
"Yeah, Hill died in the sixth episode! This adventure team is unlucky!"
"Who said Hill will always live in our hearts?!"

One after another, re-named or newly registered adventure groups appeared on the streets of Mondstadt.
Mondstadt has always symbolized freedom.
On this day, it finally realized the horror of being ruled by anime!
Even at Uncle Wagner's smithy, before sundown, he had received several jobs to build large scissors. It is said that this is the standard weapon for members of the newly formed Hill Adventure Team!
As for whether these scissors are easy to use or not, well, it's a risky affair with Uncle Wagner.
Anyway, if you like Hill's wife, you can't learn to use scissors to deal with enemies!

**Tili Tili Barrage Network**
After Takumi sent away the last batch of customers, he planned to close the door.
However, at the moment the door just closed, he suddenly remembered something.
"No, is there someone else on the second floor?"
Thinking of how to avoid Yula, Takumi almost forgot that Wendy was in the room on the second floor.
"Forget it, he has nothing to do anyway. Let him watch for one night and collect the money tomorrow."
With that, Takumi walked toward the third floor.

**Lawrence Family Training Grounds**
"It's a pity... It would be great if I could get a Teigu."
Yula swung her greatsword again and again. Even during her rest time, Yula's schedule was full.
Practice swords in the morning, martial arts in the afternoon, and reviewing noble etiquette in the evening.
Although she hated these things, Yula had been trained in noble etiquette since childhood. It was ingrained in her.
It's a pity that no one thought such a different kind of Yula would appear in the Lawrence family.
Not only did she not take the glory of nobility seriously, but she even dared to join the enemy—the Zephyr Knights, the chief culprits in the destruction of Old Mondstadt.
As a descendant of the Lawrence family, Yula had unexpectedly joined the Zephyr Knights!
Schubert was furious, nearly having a heart attack!
Fortunately, despite joining the Knights, Yula had not done anything detrimental to the Lawrence family.

**Inside the Lawrence Family's Secret Room**
In front of Schubert sat several masked members of the Fools, one of whom was staring at Schubert smugly.
"When will the city defense map be handed over to us, Master Schubert~?" the man asked.
This matter had been delayed for a long time.
"In a hurry, huh? There's no noble etiquette in this," Schubert snorted unhappily, but since the person in front of him was his partner, Schubert didn't take offense.
He continued, "Don't worry about your people. Recently, because of the Fengmolong incident, that woman from the Gurnhild family has been keeping a close eye on the city defense map."
"Are your people in a hurry?"
"I said before, the woman from Gurnhild isn't someone to take lightly, so don't worry too much."
Schubert frowned deeply, pinching his mustache with his fingers.
"Hmph. Lawrence, you have to remember, we are in a cooperative relationship. As long as our plan is successful, Mondstadt will still be yours."
"When Mondstadt joins us in Solstice Winter, which other country in the Seven Kingdoms will be our opponent?"
The person in charge of the Fools snorted coldly.
After chatting with Schubert for a while, he left.

**Outside the Lawrence Family**
Unbeknownst to the Lawrence family, Mondstadt tonight was about to become restless.
Members of more than a dozen adventure groups and adventurer squads stared at the door of the Lawrence family.
Night Raid Adventure Group, Night Raid Assassin Squad, Main Adventure Group, Hill Adventure Squad...
More than a dozen adventurers, each wielding strange weapons, stared intently at the Lawrence family door. They were all hoping to catch a glimpse of any fool from the old noble family who might try their luck.

"It's not good, sir! It's not good!" a messenger rushed in with alarming news.
