"Miss Keqing, are you saying that the person who slew this beast wasn't you, but someone else? Someone is impersonating you."
Lumine accepted Keqing's Primogems. Her slightly dazed-looking face did not change after hearing Keqing's words, though her tone carried a hint of confusion.
"Yes! Such an impressive person is impersonating one of the Qixing. What could their intentions be? I hope it's nothing bad." Little Paimon floated in the air, her voice carrying some concern as well.
"Before this, I had been working in Liyue Harbor. I only finished the task at hand in the afternoon and came out for a walk... My assistant can testify to that. Then I ran into this incident."
"Right now, I have no leads at all. According to the previous witness's description, that girl looked exactly like me. And... the sword marks left on this giant geovishap match the Yunlai Swordsmanship I use.
"If I didn't know that was impossible, even I would suspect that I was the one who did it."
Keqing pressed a hand to her forehead, looking deeply troubled. Slaying such a massive geovishap was certainly noteworthy, but the adepti could do the same, so that was not the key issue.
What troubled her was why this person... looked exactly like her and knew her Yunlai Swordsmanship.
"In any case, Miss Bronya told me that you, Traveler, are very capable, so I hope you can help me find this person."
"Besides the Primogems I just gave you, I will offer additional compensation afterward."
Whether it was fighting, finding people, running errands, delivering food, or even taking on all of Liyue's miscellaneous chores, the Traveler could complete anything smoothly as long as it was entrusted to her.
As long as she was paid, Bronya had said.
"Additional compensation!!"
