Seen in that light, Ellin's father had good reason to worry.
"What a brave young lady!" Oz said with a touch of admiration, flapping his night-dark wings.
"Wow, a talking night-dark raven! Could you be Miss Fischl from another world and her raven companion?" Ellin said excitedly, looking at Oz and Fischl beside him.
With a father who had once been an Adventurer, Ellin knew a thing or two about the curious tales circulating in the Adventurers' Guild.
For instance, there was an unlucky fellow named Bennett. Anyone who teamed up with him for an adventure was guaranteed a bizarre series of twists and turns, no matter where they went.
Then there was Fischl, an eccentric girl who always claimed to come from the Immernachtreich in another world, even though she did not. A night-dark raven always accompanied her, and she was a Vision holder whom even Ellin's father envied.
"Hehe~ I, the Prinzessin der Verurteilung, knew my name had long since spread throughout Teyvat. One day, the entire continent shall bow before my illustrious name!"
Fischl changed her pose, folding her arms across her upper abdomen, where her black mesh undergarment showed.
"..."
Ellin looked a little lost for words. She really was an eccentric girl. Ellin chose to pass over what she had said.
Then she pressed her palms together and looked at the two of them with a little anticipation, asking:
"Miss Fischl, Li Qiuzhi, you're both very capable Adventurers, right? Could you take me out into the wilderness to broaden my horizons? If I'm going with you, Dad will definitely agree!
"Don't worry, I won't ask you to help me for nothing. Just think of this as a commission. I'll give you the twenty or thirty thousand Mora I've saved from my allowance as your fee!"
