The city of mondstadt

It was morning, Tenka in the end didn't go to city, and ended up camping outside. It was a new experience for Him. Well, sleeping under countless stars wasn't a bad thing for Him. Last night was a very beautiful sight.

Today Tenka is planning to enter the city, this time He will really do this, and even though there will be special requirements, He will keep entering the city.

Since it was still early in the morning and He had plenty of time, He currently explored the plains of mondstadt, no doubt the wind in this world was very comfortable.

"Help! please help me!" A voice.

While enjoying himself, He suddenly becomes alert after hearing someone screaming "Help!", He tries to find where this voice comes from, and goes toward whoever this person is, without think too much. He runs fast, jumps from a tree to another tree, and uses a double jump, then uses glide.

"Bingo," Said Tenka when He find the person who asked for help, Tenka then landed while dealing with the first attack on hilichurl.

(*He use dive attack*)

"Yak!" Hillichurl

Tenka feels glad this person is safe, the person who asked for help is an adventurer, this adventurer looks surrounded by many hilichurls and looks troubled.

"Are you okay?" Said Tenka

(What?...where did he come from? sky?) Pallad.

Pallad felt shocked and confused at the same time. In front of Him, a young man is holding a flashy key and using big shoes, He looks ridiculously very weird but at the same time he looks cool, also his face is really handsome.

"I...I am okay, did you come to help me?" Said Pallad.

"Yeah, I am here to rescue you, just leave it to me okay," Said Tenka smiling at pallad, Tenka then holding the keyblade tightly, then turned his back on 'pallad' to protect him and looked ahead at the hilichurl.

Tenka jumped at the enemy and then slashed downwards, then came hilichurl who tried to hit him with a club but was blocked by Tenka, Tenka then jumped back to avoid the fire arrows shot from hilichurl.

He who saw the five hilichurls running towards him then started to pick up the stances, He spins the Keyblade and rushes at the opponent, holding the weapon with a reverse grip then strikes all enemies. Then in an instant five 'hilichurl' were cut down suddenly.

Tenka used 'zantetsuken' on the five hilichurls which gave them instant death, then He saw the hilichurl who was casting a spell that He didn't understand, His surroundings were suddenly surrounded by swamps.

Tenka jumps high, then spins using a double jump. He who was still in the air then threw his keyblade at three hilichurls, and managed to hit three hilichurls.

Tenka landed and the keyblade was summoned again in his hand. Even though it was a short battle, Tenka heaved a sigh of relief at having managed to defeat the enemy so well.

"Fyuuh~... Are you okay?" Tenka Asked while canceling his keyblade summon.

"Huh???.... Where is he?" Said tenka confused. He tried to look around but found no one.

"N...no way, did I just get left behind? How could He just leave me like that...." Said Tenka with a sad face.

"Sigh~ I guess He is not my ticket for entering the city... Well, at least I already make my first interaction," Tenka trying to be positive.

"Help!!!" familiar voice.

***

"ARRRRRRGHHHHH!!!" Tenka screaming.

"What's wrong with you... 15 times, 15 times is the amount I saved you..." Said tenka.

"You did it on purpose right!, you enjoyed it right!… there must be something wrong with your luck" Said tenka at the reckless adventurer.

"That was amazing! you really strong!" Said Pallad at Tenka.

"Eh!? Aaah~ Th...Thank you, you really don't need to praise too much," Tenka who was flattered while scratching His head

"Then, Goodbye," Said Pallad.

"Ye...yeah...Be careful, don't get attacked and surrounded again, okay?" said Tenka while waving.

(???) Tenka smiled while waving.

"WAIT A MINUTE!" Tenka screams comically at Pallad who went away.

"Eh? huh... Wha...what?" Said Pallad who was confused.

"You...you, how can you just say that and then walk away, we're both stuck in the same loop in ridiculous numbers" Tenka complained.

"What...what do you mean?" Pallad asked.

"Isn't there something you want to say?" Said Tenka while holding his forehead.

"...Oh I see! you talk about rewards, right? I am so dumb really forgot about that, traveler and his companion always ask that every time when they help me" Pallad

"NO! it's not about that sigh~" Tenka sighed.

***

The sun is currently at its peak indicating the current time is noon. Tenka and Pallad walked together towards the city of mondstadt, they had talked about many things and of course, most of them were stupid things.

Surprisingly, Tenka didn't expect the person he saved to be so friendly and he could interact with the person normally. This means Tenka doesn't have to worry about the language barrier.

He also learned a lot of basic information, such as this place was mondstadt, and the enemy he fought was called hilichurl. Of course, Pallad who spoke to Tenka was a little confused, about how Tenka fought using a key as a weapon, how Tenka was surprisingly very strong, and looks so foreign.

Pallad guessed Tenka came from the fontaine because the people there wore flashy clothes. Even mondstadt when holding festivals often receive circus teams from there. But, just because Tenka wears big shoes doesn't mean he is a clown. Although ridiculous, Tenka appearance is very cool, even his spiky hair gives a natural look along with his blue eyes.

"Mondstad,hilichurl,and a adventurer....I see, this world is really a fantasy world," Tenka muttered.

"So... Can I ask something?" Said Pallad.

"Ah! Sure, just ask anything," Said Tenka smiling at Pallad.

"Oh! By the way, my name is Pallad...Well, a lot of people giving me the nickname Reckless Pallad now" Said Pallad.

"Aah~ that makes sense now, you really reckless... that name suits you," Tenka laughed.

"I already knew it would be like this" Said Pallad with resignation.

"Hahaha, okay I am sorry, that was funny...Nice to meet you Pallad, so what question you wanna ask" Said Tenka.

"You said you are not from Fontaine, so where are you from? and what is your name?" Pallad asked.

"Uuuh I...I am Sor..." Tenka conflicted.

***

In a white room, the wind gently blows into the room along with the warm sunlight shining through the window.

As usual, lay a boy lying on a bed in a hospital room. Tenka uses many medical devices to support his life, feels weak and helpless, He wants to move and run in the field but he can't.

("Sigh~...this is hard,") Tenka.

*Typing sound* Tenka can hear the sound

Trying to see, Tenka could see a woman who looked beautiful and felt dignified. It was His Mother, She always worked in this room and always took the time to check on Her son. This of course gives Tenka a feeling of calm and comfort.

"Mother..." Tenka said weakly

"Tenka? What's wrong? Do you need something? Mother is here," Said His Mother gently.

His mother then closed her laptop, then took off Her glasses, and put them on the table. She approached tenka and sat beside tenka bed.

"I'm sorry, please forgive Mother... I must be working too loudly to disturb your sleep..." Tenka's mother.

"No Mom, You don't bother me at all... Instead, Your presence makes Me feel comfortable." Say tenka with a smile.

"Is that so..." Said His Mother smile at Him, as She began to gently caress Tenka head.

"...." Tenka

"...." His Mother

Tenka was silent as was His Mother, at this time Tenka was just trying to enjoy the warmth of His Mother's affection. The two of them were currently really enjoying the gentle afternoon breeze, although simple, it was a precious moment for both of Them.

"Mom I'm sorry for being born" Said Tenka who broke the silence.

Tenka Himself was taken aback by His own words, currently in His mind ("Aah~ I ruined it"). Tenka then looked at His Mother, He could see that His Mother's smile had completely disappeared from Her beautiful face, and it scared Tenka.

His Mother then stopped caressing tenka's head, Her current expression was like She was about to get angry, but not at Tenka. Then His Mother looked like She was about to cry but She tried to hold back.

In the end, tears flowed from His Mother's left eye. Tenka could see how His Mother covered Her mouth with both hands and looked at Him, His Mother looked like She was scared.

"Mo...Mother! I...I am sorry, I don't mean...." Said Tenka trying.

"No...No Tenka, You really don't need to say that. Mother should be the one apologizing, If only Mother gave birth to you with a healthy body, you would have a different life, you would have a better life...So I...I am sorry " Said His Mother while crying.

"...No! You're not wrong, you can't control what you can't control. It's my fault... stop crying, it's all my fault, I'm sorry!" Tenka is crying, He even has snot on His nose. even though He inherited His Mother's pretty face, right now He really looks bad.

"Tenka..." His Mother then hugged him.

"It's My fault, please don't cry... I am sorry, sorry, sorry!". Tenka still crying.

"Yes...yes, Mother already understands so please stop crying my dear," His Mother tries to comfort him.

They hugged each other until everything calmed down, Tenka kept crying until it slowly started to stop. He realized what he said was bad, so he learned not to say some stupid thing again.

"Tenka, did you know that your name means the whole world?" Said His Mother.

"Yeah somehow I already know about that," Tenka

"Then you should have known, no matter what happened to you, no matter how imperfect you were, when you were born into the world. You become important to Me and your dad must be feeling the same. You are our world," His Mother.

"....." Tenka can't say anything.

"What if you switch roles with your brother, and the one lying here is not you but your brother instead? Would you look down on your brother and think of your brother as a burden?"

"No! how could I be like that..." Said Tenka.

"Mother knows Tenka will not do that," His Mother caressed Tenka head.

"It just, Tenka should stop looking down on himself" His Mother smiled at Tenka.

"Tenka just remember this, always to stay strong when you weak, don't feel enough when you are strong, and be humble when you are in glory" His Mother

"Don't be afraid to ask some help from others, don't be afraid to trust others, indeed sometimes there are many bad people who can't be trusted. But if all humans had that mindset, we would have been destroyed long ago. Believe that good people exist, and you are one of them, can you remember everything mom said," His Mother asked Tenka

"Okay, I'll try... Mom" Said Tenka.

***

"Sor?" Pallad.

"Sorry Pallad, It's Tenka nice to meet you" Said Tenka introduce Himself.

"Tenka it's a nice name" Said Pallad.

"Thank you" Tenka feel happy.

"Tenka... Sounds like Inazuma" Said Pallad.

"Inazuma?" Tenka

"It's one of the regions in teyvat that is separate from the continent, you have to use a ship to go there. I heard it's very dangerous there, but now it's starting to get peaceful again." Said Pallad trying to explain at Tenka.

"..." Tenka

"From your face, you also not from there are you?" Pallad

"You right..." Tenka screching His head.

"You are not from fontaine, not from Inazuma too, Also there is no way you from Mondstadt. Because if a strong fighter like you lives in mondstadt, there is no way no one will not know about you." Pallad think.

"Umm, Pallad?" Tenka stop walking.

"Yeah?" Pallad.

"About that, can I ask you for some help". Tenka asked.

"I think, I deserve an explanation first". Said Pallad.

Tenka then explained what needed to be explained, He tried to be honest and tried not to lie. Tenka tries to follow his mother's advice to trust others. Of course, there were some details that He didn't explain.

"You're not from the 7 regions, which means you're not from teyvat. You wake up suddenly on the plains of teyvat, and are currently at a loss as to how to get into the city" Said Pallad.

"Um yeah, that's all I can say at the moment, also talk about where I'm from, I can't tell you, sorry..." Said Tenka.

"No, you don't need to feel sorry, I can believe the story you are telling, and knowing your situation I think I understand. You are my savior, it has proven that you are not a bad person," Said Pallad, "If it's just helping to get into the city, I don't think it's a big deal, at least I can do that much".

"Thank you Pallad! You really are a good friend!" Said Tenka Happily.

"Friend...." Pallad muttered while looking towards the ground.

***

"We're here," Pallad said

"Whoa!, that's a very big wall, cool" Tenka said cheerfully.

"I thought it was just an ordinary wall" Pallad sweatdrop

The two of them walked towards the gate, so many pigeons could be seen along the path of the bridge which then flew away as they walked.

"WAIT!" Screams were heard.

"Huh?! Wha, what's wrong" Tenka said surprised then looked at the scream, He saw a small child who looked angry.

"Ouch, I forgot Timmy is usually here at this hour other than in the morning". Pallad said covering His face with one hand.

"What are you doing! You scared all the pigeons that are resting here. Look, they're all scared!" Said the boy named Timmy to Tenka and Pallad.

"Eh? Pigeons?" Tenka said.

"Come on~ Timmy it's just a pigeons, I'm sure they'll come back," said Pallad.

"That's what everyone says, just because they're coming back, you think it's okay to scare the pigeons."

"Timmy, right? As Pallad said, the pigeons will come back you don't have to worry,"

"....." Pallad was starting to feel bad

"B...but, what if they don't come back, like dad....." Timmy said feeling sad while looking down.

"Sigh~" Pallad felt heavy, meeting Timmy always killed the peaceful mood he had.

("It's dark!, it's really dark!... didn't we talk about pigeons before!)" Tenka said smiling awkwardly with a heavy atmosphere.

"Tenka, I think we should go. Timmy is always like that, Just being here will just be a waste of our time" Said Pallad immediately asking to leave.

"No! I'm not going..." Tenka said which made Pallad surprised.

"What?...Huh?...." Pallad

"So what happened to your father?" Tenka asked without hesitation.

"Tenka i don't think...." Said Pallad who couldn't believe what he heard.

"Father went hunting, he said he would come back...But, even though I waited...Father never came back..." Said Timmy

"Tenka I don't think this is..." Said Pallad

While looking seriously at Timmy, Tenka raised his right palm towards Pallad to tell him to be quiet.

"I see...." Tenka.

Well, more or less tenka can understand what happened. Although not receiving the detailed story, Tenka only guessed what happened but didn't really care and just kept it to himself.

"Timmy, I'm sorry for your pigeon friend. But you know this is unavoidable, look even at this bridge carriages are passing by". Said Tenka

"I... I know, but..." Timmy tries to reply.

"But?" Tenka.

"Mommy says that as long as you love the world, no animals will be scared of you! Otherwise, why do you think the pigeons aren't scared of me?" Answer Timmy doesn't want to lose.

"Mommy huh...Ok, I want you both to wait here" Tenka.

"Where are you going" Pallad Asked.

"Just wait ok," Said Tenka at Pallad.

Pallad could only accept Tenka sudden action, for him, there was no need to be too serious when responding to a small child. 5 minutes passed, 10 minutes passed, then 15 minutes...

(Tenka... where are you...) Pallad.

"Hey!"

"You finally came back, what....." Pallad.

Pallad couldn't believe what he saw, after waiting for quite a while. he saw Tenka coming back with pigeons on his shoulders and his head, there was even another bird flying in circles above his head.

"How did you do that" Pallad asked.

"Whoaaaa cool! Big brother is so cool!" Said Timmy who jumped happily.

(I'm also grateful this really works) Tenka said.

Tenka remembers Sora has an affinity for animals, although it is not explained how it works in the game. He remembers when Rapunzel wanted to see birds up close, and Sora helped catch birds for Rapunzel.

"Timmy, be careful not to scare them," Tenka said moving the pigeon on his shoulder slowly.

"You can even do something like this, how..." Pallad said.

"Thank you..." Timmy said happily.

Timmy smilingly plays with the pigeons. he petted and fed the birds around him, and a few moments later the bird flew away again.

"They left..." Timmy said

"Well, it can't be helped. They prefer to be free, freedom is the basic characteristic of their life" Said Tenka.

"But when they left I felt sad" Timmy lowered his face.

"Well, I guess learning to understand takes time" Tenka smiled awkwardly as He patted Timmy's head.

"This is the first time anyone has taken my words seriously. Big brother, you are so weird". Timmy smiled, "Can we play together sometime".

"Of course, we are now friends" Tenka replied smiling at Timmy.

Pallad who had seen Tenka playing with Timmy could only smile lightly. ("friend huh...") then Pallad took some paper from his bag, then he tore the paper as small as possible, and threw it into the lake.

He had observed Tenka many times while rescuing him, and he also understood that Tenka abilities were extraordinary. There was no doubt that Tenka was the perpetrator of yesterday's incident. But did not expect, that the person who did it would be so innocent.

Innocent may not be quite right, more like he is trying to face everyone wholeheartedly and trying not to lie to them. And Pallad felt it would feel bad if he took advantage of something like this, even though it wasn't intentional in the first place.

In essence, Tenka is a good person.

***

Tenka was currently just standing not far from the city entrance, he could see Pallad talking to the guards from afar. Tenka who was playing with dandelion flowers could feel Pallad and the guards staring at him and trying to observe.

"Eeh...hmmm" Tenka couldn't help but stare back at them with an awkward smile, then waved lightly at the guard.

Then they went back to discussing, don't know what they were discussing, Tenka doesn't care, he believes Pallad can handle this. No, Tenka hoped that Pallad could get him into the city, he didn't want to sleep outside anymore.

"Tenka! come here" Pallad called.

Tenka blew dandelion flowers towards the lake, then went towards Pallad and the guards.

"So this is it, you're right he looks innocent and stupid," said the guard.

"Well, with such a flashy appearance but still acceptable. It's hard to see him as a criminal" said the other guard.

"I'm telling you, he is a good person even though he looks stupid but he is my savior, please believe me," Pallad said.

"Hmm you're right, I don't think it's a problem right Lawrence," said the guard

"Well, it's okay Swan, he doesn't look like a criminal to me". Said Lawrence

"Hey wait, I heard you guys call me stupid and it's like you all agree," said Tenka.

"No, you just misheard," Pallad

"Yes, you just misheard" Swan and Lawrence.

"No, no... I'm really sure I am not wrong, hey Pallad what did you tell them about me?" Tenka asked.

"Well, just about you being a traveler from a very far place" Pallad.

"Sigh~ alright, by the way, I'm Tenka, nice to meet you" Tenka

"I'm Swan and he's Lawrence, we welcome you into town," Swan said. and Lawrence nodded.

"Thanks, Swan, Lawrence," Tenka said with a smile.

"The city of freedom has rights for anyone, everyone has the right to freedom. As long as you don't cause trouble you will always be welcome," said Swan.

"Remember, Freedom also has rules, and please obey those rules," Swan said.

"I understand," Tenka said seriously.

"Then let's go in," Pallad said.

"Bye Swan, Bye Lawrence" Tenka waved while following pallad from behind.

***

"Welcome to the city of mondstadt," said pallad opening his arms wide.

"Whoaaaa" Tenka looked around him.

"Hahaha, I'm glad to see your reaction, it's good," said the pallad rubbing his index finger on his nose.

"It's a beautiful city, and it's crowded," said Tenka.

"You still haven't seen it all," Pallad said.

It's really crowded now, although yesterday mondstadt was in a panic and is now on alert. It didn't dampen the spirits of the people who lived in it, people went about their business as usual.

Some were selling flowers, some were selling clothes and fruit, and there was a loud noise coming from the working workshop. People interacted with each other in various ways, there were even some knights carrying drink bottles in hand as they walked, Tenka doubted whether that was a good thing or not.

"Here, please take it," Pallad said handing a bag to Tenka.

Tenka then took the bag and opened it.

"This... Pallad! You don't need..." said Tenka

"Please take it, you helped me a lot, it amounted to 5000 mora. By the way, I even doubt you know mora, mora is the main currency in Teyvat, and sorry if I can't give you more" Pallad.

"Pallad...Thank you" Tenka said while lowering his head, currently Tenka is really grateful to Pallad.

"It's just a bag containing 5000 mora, with your abilities I'm sure it won't take long to collect that amount of money". Pallad scratched his head.

"Even so I really thank you," said Tenka.

"Then...Please don't hesitate to help me when you see I'm in danger again" Pallad.

"I will not hesitate to help my friend," said Tenka.

"Good, I should go to the adventure guild... But I will accompany you to find a nice inn, I know a place that gives you a discount. After that, I'm sorry but I can't accompany you anymore" Said Pallad.

"That's more than enough," said Tenka.

Tenka and Pallad then walked into the crowd, Tenka himself was quite happy with the atmosphere of the city. For some reason just looking at the crowded city, made his mood no longer feel lonely since the first time he came to teyvat.

Tenka felt grateful to follow his mother's advice, he initially had doubts and tried to be alert the first time he woke up in this world. But as his mother said, the world always has good people ready to help you anytime, you just need to find them.

Tenka and Pallad continued walking down the busy street, and then...

*Tenka bumps into someone*

"Ouch... Aaah I'm sorry" said Tenka who almost fell.

The person who was hit by Tenka just turned his back on him without caring and kept walking.

"Okay... that's rough," said Tenka.

"Tenka what's the matter you almost fell, be careful... Mondstadt is a bit crowded at this hour". Said Pallad.

"Aaah... no, I just accidentally bumped into someone...". Said Tenka then walked after Pallad.

"Accidentally bumped into someone?... What are you saying, I just saw you almost fell alone" Pallad looked at Tenka strangely.

*!!!!!!!!!!* Tenka feels like being splashed with cold water

"Huh!" Tenka immediately looked back.

He could no longer see the person he accidentally bumped into, that person had already disappeared among the crowd of people.

"No way... Single black... leather hooded coat, looks the same but... it's completely different" Tenka muttered,

He was sweating and shivering, fear seized him.

"Let's hope... that I'm wrong". Tenka then walked back to follow Pallad.

***

On a busy street...

People walk in crowds, on busy streets people doing their activities such as working and selling. Even on the park bench, you can see drunk people and stupid couples making out, what a peaceful day.

On a busy street...

Someone was walking in the crowd, that person was wearing a long black coat covering his head with a hoodie, the mysterious feeling was so strong that his face couldn't even be seen except darkness.

"Fascinating..." The mysterious person kept walking and disappeared into the crowd.
