My Primogems Are Missing One—Do You Have Any Clues?

The kimono was overall made of brownish-yellow printed silk satin, with the gaps in the gray inner shirt revealing just a hint of skin.

The kimono sleeves had a ring of black lace, and she wore black gloves on both hands.

Her puffy double-layered pleated skirt was full of asymmetrical details—black fabric flowers and gray cloth strips.

In short, orange, black, red, yellow, stripes—everything was on that outfit.

Her legs were clad in black stockings, the kind that made girls sexy and had a special attack effect on boys.

On her feet were wooden geta sandals worn exclusively by Inazumans.

Wu Wanghai looked her over from top to bottom and felt that the person before him was anything but ordinary. She was very likely a character who would be released later.

"Your outfit is really unique. The design is amazing—clearly different from what ordinary people wear." Wu Wanghai then asked, "Let me guess, you have a Vision too, right?"

Hearing Wu Wanghai praise her clothes, Chiori showed no reaction on the surface, though she still gained a few points of favorability toward the boy she had just met.

Chiori merely nodded and answered his latter question in a calm voice. "You mean a Vision? I didn't have one before, but I obtained it when I left Inazuma."

"Wow!" She had a Vision, and both her outfit design and appearance were beautiful. She was obviously a character waiting to be released!

Wu Wanghai sat down in a chair and gestured invitingly. "Come, sit, sit! Let's talk this over. The figurine is negotiable."

She did not understand Wu Wanghai's sudden enthusiasm, but when she heard that the figurine was negotiable, she still smoothed her skirt and sat down across from him.

"So, how do you plan to sell it?" Chiori only glanced at Wu Wanghai before her gaze was drawn back to the figurine.

Chiori wanted something from him, and Wu Wanghai was also interested in this newly appeared Chiori. "Before we get to that, I have a few questions."

Chiori looked at Wu Wanghai, then at the figurine. The clothing design on it had truly opened her eyes and given her a great deal of inspiration.

A few looks were not enough. Chiori wanted to take it down so she could slowly study and admire it later.

For the figurine's sake, Chiori ultimately nodded. "Fine, I can answer you, but the questions must stay within what I can accept."

Wu Wanghai made an OK gesture. "First, let me introduce myself again. I'm a Traveler from beyond this world, and Fontaine's Hydro Archon is my wife."

Chiori's eyes instantly widened, and she blinked twice. Her pupils shrank for a moment, then grew larger than usual.

Seeing the girl's shocked expression, Wu Wanghai awkwardly explained, "All right, it only happened in name. Nothing has actually happened yet... You can ask around."

"Ahem. Anyway, welcome to Fontaine. If you run into any trouble here, just come find me. I'll help you find someone to deal with it!" Wu Wanghai finished by giving her a thumbs-up.

Chiori nodded slightly. For now, she had very little faith in what he said, simply because he did not look very reliable.

"All right, now for the main topic. I have a Vision too, Hydro. What element is yours?" Wu Wanghai asked curiously.

Chiori had not expected him to ask that, but she still answered, "Geo."

"Ah! It's actually orphan Geo!" Wu Wanghai's tone turned noticeably disdainful. Not only was it an orphan in team compositions, but here, too. Geo constructs were not summons, so they definitely would not receive any bonuses.

"..." Chiori did not understand why this person had suddenly said something about an orphanage.

Chiori did not understand, but in the next moment, Wu Wanghai asked about her abilities.

Chiori stretched out a hand and summoned her companion from thin air: Tamoto!

(◔_◔) At that moment, Tamoto seemed to be expressing speechlessness, its two eyes glancing toward the upper left.

Tamoto had a tiny body. It was also a handmade chibi doll with two-head proportions.

Its outfit was very similar to what Chiori was currently wearing. On its chest seemed to be a red pair of tailoring shears?

"This is my summoned companion, Tamoto. It's a dressmaking mannequin I made."

(◎_◎) As Chiori introduced it, Tamoto suddenly changed its expression. The black pupils occupied ninety percent of its large eyes.

Seeing how adorable it was, Wu Wanghai could not help reaching out to touch its head, only for Tamoto's expression to change again.

Tamoto's eyes turned into two lower semicircles, glancing toward the upper left as though it were angry.

"All right, all right, you should've said you were a summoner..." Wu Wanghai thought for a moment as he looked at his figurine. To him, it was only a relatively cheap four-star item. Maybe duplicates would come out in the future anyway.

Besides, giving it to her as a gift between friends did not mean it would disappear. It would merely be kept by someone else. He could still see it whenever he wanted...

Wu Wanghai gritted his teeth, picked up the figurine, and placed Elysia, Herrscher of Human: Ego in Chiori's hands. "Let's be friends—before I change my mind... But you have to help me fight monsters when you're free in the future!"

Tamoto closed its eyes, as though it had fallen asleep.

Chiori was very surprised as she looked at the figurine in her hands. She had not expected him to merely ask a few questions related to her Vision, then let Tamoto break through his bottom line as soon as he saw it.

Chiori was not the sort of person who liked taking advantage of others. She truly loved the figurine, so she accepted Wu Wanghai's gift and promised him, "Since you're being so generous and giving it to me outright, then I'll be your friend!... As a return gift, I'll redesign an outfit for you."

"Huh?" Wu Wanghai spread his hands, then looked at the clothes he had spent a fortune buying. "What's wrong with my clothes? They're fine to wear. I've been wearing them for almost half a month."

Chiori set down the figurine and looked at Wu Wanghai with a serious expression. "This outfit does not suit you at all! And your hairstyle is too casual. That needs to be redesigned too."

It worked out perfectly. She had just arrived in Fontaine and was in need of a male model to serve as her clothes hanger.

Then the first step to making the Chioriya Boutique brand famous in Fontaine would begin with this man, and from him, it would resound throughout Fontaine!!!

"Um... sure." Faced with such a wonderful opportunity, Wu Wanghai instead looked rather helpless.

Seeing that Chiori truly seemed to know what she was doing, she even began taking out a measuring tape to record all of Wu Wanghai's measurements.

After taking all of Wu Wanghai's measurements, Chiori narrowed her eyes. She was very satisfied with his physique. He was perfectly suited to be a standard male model.

"Before that, what is your favorite thing?" Chiori began asking the owner of the clothes.

"You're asking what I like most? Isn't that obvious?" Wu Wanghai suddenly smiled. What every person who played Genshin Impact especially liked was, of course, "Primogems! Shiny Primogems. The more, the better!"

At the mention of Primogems, Wu Wanghai perked up. He had given Chiori such an important gift, so he definitely had to get it back from her somehow!

In the next moment, a small Primogem appeared in Wu Wanghai's hand, shining with blue-pink light.

Chiori nodded, took the Primogem Wu Wanghai had displayed, glanced at it, and slipped it into her pocket. "Blue with a bit of pink... All right, I understand. We'll meet here again in three days."

After saying that, Chiori took the figurine and gradually walked away.

Chiori now needed to make some preparations. The cloth she had brought from Inazuma was nowhere near enough, and she could also look for inspiration and materials in the wild.

"???" Wu Wanghai stared blankly as Chiori walked away and disappeared, too stunned to even call out and stop her.

He then looked at his left hand, which had held a Primogem just moments ago but was now empty.

I'm starting to get angry!

Miss Chiori, you'd better not let me catch you! If I catch you, you'll be sorry... Huh? By then, the lemons and strawberries should happen to be ripe...

Wu Wanghai had never expected that before he could trick Primogems out of her, she would instead snatch one of his.

Wu Wanghai now understood how it felt to lose both the lady and the army.

Watching his Primogem count change from a whole number into one ending in nine, Wu Wanghai felt a mild case of obsessive-compulsive disorder coming on.

And it could easily end up becoming 159 Primogems, leaving him unable to even make one pull.

Fine, fine, fine. I'll remember this!

Chiori!
