Having obtained new shoes, Momoshiki couldn't help but walk around in the Kamui Dimension, quickly readapting to the feeling under his feet.
Ever since transmigrating, Momoshiki had basically never walked normally once. Most of the time he flew, occasionally practicing with wooden sandals. Furina's shoes were also quite cumbersome. Although not as bizarre as anime high heels, he still wasn't used to wearing them, so he always felt awkward when possessing her.
But fortunately, he finally had new shoes, and they were new shoes whose appearance could change with his will.
...
On the streets of Fontaine.
Furina looked at the useless mechanical parts Stelle had dug out of a trash heap, lost in thought.
"Uh... I want to ask what you're doing?"
"Treasure hunting." Stelle smiled slyly, putting all these parts into her pocket.
Furina: ?
Focalors: ?
"Haha~"
March 7th beside her chuckled awkwardly, reaching behind Stelle to pinch her waist, signaling her to behave.
Before, at the space station, she was already fighting the Antimatter Legion while rummaging through trash cans, stuffing any junk she found into her pockets. She didn't expect her to still be doing this in Fontaine.
"She often rummaged through trash cans at the space station before. It might be because of her amnesia; she can't distinguish right from wrong. Please don't mind her, hehe~"
March 7th scratched the back of her head awkwardly, but when she turned around, Stelle was gone.
"Where is she?!"
...
On a certain street in Fontaine, a few familiar figures were walking and chatting.
"By the way, why are you wearing a strange mask?" Paimon asked the young man beside her in confusion.
At the Fountain of Lucine, she saw this young man with a strange mask chatting happily with Charlotte, so she went up to introduce herself. Since they were all going back to the Court of Fontaine, they took the same Aquabus back and became newly acquainted friends.
"This mask has important significance, you know And just wearing it makes you feel incredibly happy And it also has great power~"
Aha's voice was still serious with a hint of playfulness, and also had an ethereal quality.
"Really?"
Paimon leaned closer, resting her hand on her chin, curiously scrutinizing the mask.
This mask looked like a strange mask worn during a festival. Was it really that magical?
"Of course Hahahaha"
"Ew~ Has anyone ever told you that your laugh is strange, especially when people are close?"
"Wuwuwu~ Aha is being disliked again..."
"No, no." Paimon quickly waved her hand.
"You misunderstood. I'm not disliking you, I just want your laughter to be a little more restrained."
"Wuwuwu~"
Aha still covered her mask sadly, her smiling mask turning into a crying face, drawing glances from passersby.
"Whose child is that? Crying so ugly."
"Oh my god... my ears are being assaulted..."
"I can't stand it anymore, let's go, let's go."
...
Listening to the passersby's comments, Lumine and Navia shook their heads helplessly, then changed the subject.
"Aha, by the way, what country are you from, and how did you come to Fontaine?"
Aha had just casually possessed a young man. Her own body wasn't something she had created, so her clothes were also Teyvat-style, seemingly from Sumeru.
"Aha is from Honkai: Star Rail, secretly smuggled over by a friend."
"Honkai: Star Rail? Smuggled?"
Navia scratched the back of her head in confusion.
"Strange, is there a country called Honkai: Star Rail in Teyvat? How come I don't know?"
Lumine rested her chin on her hand, thinking for a moment, her gaze carefully scrutinizing the strange mask. She seemed to sense something.
"By the way, who is your friend?"
"Aha's friend is Aha's friend."
Aha poked her fingers together, looking very serious.
"Very fair-skinned, very cute, likes to look at people with Byakugan, and has big red eyes in her palms."
"Why does that description sound so familiar?"
Listening to this familiar introduction, a flash of insight crossed Paimon's not-so-bright little brain, and then she exclaimed in shock, "Wait! Are you talking about Momoshiki?!"
Who else but Momoshiki liked to look at people with Byakugan?
"Hahahaha That's right, I think he's called Momoshiki"
Aha let out two more strange laughs, sending a shiver down Paimon's spine, and she involuntarily huddled behind Lumine.
"Since you also know Momoshiki, and you're from a country I've never heard of, are you also from another world?" Lumine asked curiously, gently rubbing Paimon's little head.
"Mhm Hehehehe" Aha nodded, letting out a creepy laugh.
"But Aha snuck over, so you absolutely must not tell Momoshiki He's angry with Aha, he'll hit Aha Wuwuwu~"
"Angry? What did you do?" Navia asked, one hand on her hip, confused.
"Aha can't say~"
"I feel like it must be something very evil."
Paimon glared at Aha suspiciously.
Just as she was about to say something else, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange girl squatting by a trash can not far ahead.
She had a slender, high-waisted figure, exquisite features, and an aloof, unapproachable look in her brows, yet her expression was innocent and pure. She was even rummaging through a trash can.
"Huh? That person's clothes are so strange."
Following Paimon's pointing finger, everyone saw Stelle rummaging through the trash can, and a big question mark rose above their heads.
Was this a tourist from out of town whose wallet was stolen?
Lumine and Navia exchanged glances, preparing to go forward and ask, but Aha suddenly disappeared from beside them.
"Huh?!"
Paimon, who felt a flash of light, looked around in confusion, only to find that Aha had already darted to the girl's side at some point.
Aha was leaning against the trash can, her legs crossed, a rose tucked into the slit of her mask.
"Hey~ Beautiful Stellaron Sprite, wanna hang out?"
Saying this, Aha even flicked her hair.
Stelle: ?
Paimon: ?
Lumine: ?
Navia: ?
Stelle put the discarded parts she had picked up into her pocket, patted herself, stood up, and then put her hands on her hips, "My name is Galactic Baseballer! Not Stellaron Sprite!"
"You mispronounced my name, committing an unforgivable sin, so I will refuse any of your requests."
"Wuwuwu..."
Aha, rejected, covered her mask and ran away sadly.
The onlookers were once again speechless, then walked over to Stelle.
"Hello, uh... Galactic... Baseballer," Paimon stammered out the strange name.
"Hello, Galactic Flyer!"
Stelle said respectfully, her right hand on her chest.
"What kind of strange nickname is that?!" Paimon stomped her feet in the air in dissatisfaction.
She usually gave others nicknames, but she didn't expect to be given one herself today!
"Don't you like it?" Stelle lowered her head and thought for a moment.
"Hello, Interstellar Floater!"
"That's even worse than Galactic Flyer!"
"Okay, then, two-nickname hero, nice to meet you."
Paimon: "..."
She gave up.
"Cough cough," Lumine coughed awkwardly twice, interrupting the strange atmosphere.
"Hello, what's your common name? And do you know Momoshiki?"
"My name is Stelle. So you also know Master Momo."
"Master Momo?"
The three blinked in confusion.
How did he become "Master" now?
"Don't you know?" Stelle crossed her left arm, her right hand resting on her chin, looking at the group in confusion.
"Master Momo's tattoo skills are especially amazing. Those black patterns can move. I've always wanted him to tattoo one on me, but he keeps refusing."
"Uh... that's not a tattoo, is it..."
Lumine's eyelids twitched twice. Just as she was about to ask something else, a voice called out from not far away.
"Stelle——!!"
Everyone looked over and saw a pink-haired girl anxiously calling out, with Furina and a girl whose face was covered following beside her.
"Are they looking for you?" Navia asked curiously.
"Oh no!"
Seeing the familiar figures, Stelle's expression changed, and she quickly hid behind the group.
"These people are evil treasure hunters, specializing in stopping me from finding treasures in trash cans across the universe, and even stealing them! They're absolutely heinous!"
"Help me, please don't let them find me, otherwise the treasures I've painstakingly collected in my clothes will be thrown away!"
???
"Finding treasures from where?" Paimon's mouth was open wide enough to fit an egg.
Did we just meet someone incredible?
