hello, let's introduce the reader with pantalone. the reader is very kind but not innocent, but with anxiety and depression due to a difficult past (and the reader does not accept their cryovision, so he broke it and now the reader is often sick), but still the reader has retained humanity and faith, so everyone will lend a helping hand to those who asks, and once helps Pantalona not because of his money or status, but because he is kind.I hope everything is clear and you are doing well, good luck

Your request is done! It's written from reader's POV, as I tried to make it a chapter of their diary. Some things might be out of character or not actually be canon to the game, but I still hope you like it!

Strange meeting

Dear diary:

Today was a sunny day in my native Liyue. Nothing special, it was in the afternoon and I was just on my way back to the city after going for a walk around Wangshu Inn. However, just a few minutes (around 15 or so) after leaving Wangshu Inn, I saw a woman running past me. She was very fast, so the little I could see was that she had short black hair and was partially dressed in blue. She was also emanating some Hydro energy.

It startled me a bit at first, why was she in such a hurry?

"Hydro vision carrier," I thought, "maybe it's with the help of her vision that she's going this fast."

Not thinking too much about it, I continued my way. However, a few minutes later, I saw a man running in the same direction as the woman. He had black hair, glasses, and he was carrying a white, large coat with fur on the neck part hanging on his arm. The man, out of breath, slowly stopped by my side when he noticed me.

"Good afternoon, excuse me, are you someone from around here?"

The man, despite finding it hard to breathe, stood up straight and addressed me politely. However, his smile seemed anything but genuine. Then, when I looked down at the coat on his arm, I saw it: on the black inner fabric of the coat I could see the Fatui logo printed in dark grey.

What would the Fatui have to do with me?

I looked into his eyes, then back at the coat, then back up at him. I'm sure he knew my concerns.

"Uhm... Yes, I'm from around here. How can I help you?"

The man shook out the dirt on his clothing a bit before answering:

"You saw a woman run past here really fast, didn't you? Do you have any idea who she is?"

His question caught me a bit off guard. With my hand on my chin, I looked up at the sky trying to jog my memory. Short black hair, blue clothes, Hydro vision? She looked kind of familiar to me.

"I think it might be Yelan, from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. She's usually around, doing I don't know what."

I have seen Yelan around Liyue city before, minding political issues. She seemed busy most of the time, but she always had that smirk on her face. The people around the city who talk about her say that she's a very unpredictable person.

The man smiled again.

"Good, good... I think you might be able to help me then."

Then, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small light brown bag. He tapped it with his fingers, and the jingling of the coins inside caught my attention instantly.

"This sack will be yours if you help me locate her. What do you say?" He offered in a determined tone, his eyes piercing through mine.

I looked at him, in some kind of disbelief. I frowned and looked at him for a few seconds, trying to get him to elaborate. He didn't.

This guy was one of the Fatui. He sure wasn't up to no good.

The man kept looking at me with that grin. I could tell he was tense. His forehead was sweaty, I don't know if it was from running or from the nerves of his situation.

"Why should I help you?"

I asked, crossing my arms and narrowing my eyes. I had to be skeptical about this kind of person.

"Please, I beg you. I was transporting some very important material for a gift. Please, I can't lose it."

The man opened the bag and looked at the Moras inside.

"If this amount of Mora doesn't convince you, we can talk about it later at the Bank of the Northern Kingdom. But please. Help me."

I looked at the Mora bag again. The man's eyebrows were slightly furrowed. A Fatui member, begging? He must have been desperate, for sure.

"You say you only need to retrieve material for a gift, which 'Yelan' stole from you?" I asked. We still didn't even know if it was really Yelan who stole it.

"Yes, just that. I assure you, you won't be getting into any trouble."

The man looked at the Fatui symbol on his coat, as if he could read my mind.

I closed my eyes for a few seconds, pondering the situation. Then I let out a sigh. It wouldn't hurt to help someone in distress, could it?

"All right. Let's go."

I looked in the direction 'Yelan' had gone, and started to run. It was better to run as soon as possible if we wanted to at least spot her in the distance. I heard the man's hurried footsteps behind me soon after.

We ran across the plain in the direction of the city. We ran for quite a while, yeah. We passed some ruins, until at one of them, I caught a glimpse of someone sitting in the distance out of the corner of my eye. I suddenly stopped, managing to get a confused glance from the Fatui man.

"Wait here."

I indicated him. Yelan couldn't run forever either. Could this be her? Would this be our chance?

Quietly, I moved a little closer to the person sitting on the ruins. The man, despite my warning, followed me just as silently.

As I got closer, I got a clearer glimpse of the person. Short black hair. Blue attire. And as I looked at her face... Sure enough, it was Yelan.

Yelan had some kind of piece of fur in her hands. She was examining it closely, with a proud smile on her face. She picked it up, shook it, and felt the fur with her hands. She seemed to be concentrating on seeing what kind of thing she had caught.

"Okay, there she is. We approach slowly, take what she's got and leave. Got it?"

I warned the man, who nodded. What a good time that would have been not to have broken my Vision....

Still feeling a little weak after all that running, I did my best to circle the ruins until I was behind Yelan. The man followed close behind me. One step, after another, after another... One foot in front of the other... Little by little...

However, the tension of the moment and the previous run caused my body to betray me. I had just noticed how dry my throat felt. I suddenly had to stop and cover my mouth so as not to let myself cough, because that would alert Yelan.

"Are you okay?" I heard the man behind me.

Damn, this thing of having broken my vision is still affecting me to this day....

After struggling against my own body, my throat no longer held, so a horrible cough came out of my mouth.

"That doesn't sound good..."

Looking up, I saw that Yelan was already looking in our direction. She reached a hand for the bow behind her back. Then, having caught her attention, the man stepped in front of me.

"Yelan," the man addressed her by her name, "Wait."

Then, from the same pocket from which he pulled out the Mora bag earlier, he now pulled out a bracelet. A silver bracelet with some blueish gems.

"Don't you want your bracelet back? Then give me what's mine."

I finally managed to get up, the Fatui man still in front of me. I saw Yelan hesitate for a few moments, but finally she stepped closer.

"This better not be one of your tricks, Regrator."

Yelan's slow footsteps echoed against the ground. Though perhaps it was just that I was more sensitive to sound than usual.

"No, no. I promise."

Then, once Yelan got close enough, Regrator handed her the bracelet. Yelan took it quickly away from his hands, and just then she handed him back the piece of fur. After that, Yelan slowly walked away. When she was a few meters away from the Fatui man, she examined her bracelet.

"Hm... It doesn't seem to be damaged. It'd better be, Regrator. Or I'm coming for you."

Yelan then turned on her heels and started walking towards the city.

Regrator sighed, watching the way through which Yelan was walking away. Then, he examined the piece of fur in his hands.

"Hah... Thank the Archons I have it back..."

He pulled out the Mora sack from his pocket and turned to me.

"Here, even though events didn't end as I had expected, you still helped me. As promised, so be it."

He held out the Mora sack to me, expecting me to take it. However, I waved it away.

"No, it's okay. Don't worry."

I smiled slightly towards the Fatui.

"Oh, please, I insist. Accept it."

He held out the Mora bag to me again, but this time I gently pushed his hand back.

"No, no, I'm serious. I didn't do it for the money."

With a somewhat disgruntled expression, he put the Mora back in his pocket.

"I don't understand why you wouldn't want to take the money? But well, if you insist."

With the same fake smile as before on his face, he rested a hand on my shoulder and leaned a bit forward.

"Call me Pantalone. Maybe we'll meet again in the future. I owe you one."

Slightly tense, I shivered. I wasn't used to physical contact, least of all from strangers.

"You're welcome."

He then waved goodbye and headed back north. I headed in the opposite direction, towards the city, with all the events of the day swirling around in my head.

A rather strange day indeed...
