"So many? Where did you find them?"
Kiana checked the Primogems Lumine had handed over. 1,800 Primogems... not one was missing. She had never expected Lumine to have gathered so many already.
"You have no idea. Lumine practically searched all of Mondstadt inside out, and she even earned some from Master Diluc, just to scrape together this much. It'll probably be hard to find any more Primogems in Mondstadt from now on."

Lumine waved her hand. Having been an adventurer for so long, even if she had exchanged most of her Mora for Primogems, she was not so broke that she could not afford food.
"Then that's fine. All twenty-one supply crates are here. Go ahead and test your luck!"

"Then... we'll open ten each, and open the last one together."
"No problem."
Paimon rubbed her little hands together, full of anticipation...
Skipping the crate-opening process, they went
