Mr. Dulaf's request was simple: an idiot named Allan, knowing the meteorites were dangerous, still wanted to go see them up close.
It was as if he had a rebellious streak, making the anxious Mr. Dulaf come here to seek help from the Knights of Favonius.
So, Star and her group could only helplessly follow Mr. Dulaf to the back mountain and rescued Allan, who was being attacked by Slimes.
Someone who couldn't even defeat Slimes, yet wanted to go find such dangerous meteorites and join in on the excitement.
She really didn't know what he was thinking.
"I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again!" Allan, whether truly repentant or just scared by the several large Slimes, kept apologizing to the group.
"I am truly very sorry. I will definitely teach him a good lesson." Mr. Dulaf sighed, then apologized to the group.
"It's alright, as long as he's safe." Lumine shook her head and said.
Although she didn't know what Allan was thinking, helping out was just a small matter, so there was no need to dwell on it too much.
"Then we'll leave first, Miss Star. Please come visit us often, Diona misses you very much." Mr. Dulaf then said to Star.
"Eh? Ah, okay…" Star only then realized that she had said she would spend time with Diona last time, but hadn't set a specific time.
This matter seemed to be just an empty promise.
But Diona would definitely take it seriously and was waiting anxiously… How could she feel so terrible?
Star quickly shook her head and made a decision: she would go find Diona once this incident was resolved.
Watching Mr. Dulaf leave with the young man named Allan, Lumine finally couldn't help but lean closer to Star.
"Star, Diona, that's not right, is it? You should at least wait until she's a bit older…"
"What, what are you saying? There's nothing between us." Star was startled by Lumine's words. No matter what, she couldn't possibly make a move on Diona at that age.
"Don't worry, Diona at most just has a good impression of me; she won't be like you all…"
"Hey, what are you two whispering about? Did you hear what I just said?" Paimon turned around and couldn't help but say to the two.
"Huh? Wh-what??" Star quickly looked up at Paimon.
"I said, the meteorite is over there, and Fischl's Vision is still flashing. Could it be because of the meteorite?" Paimon said to the two, exasperated.
"What secrets do you two have that you must hide from this Prinzessin?" Fischl crossed her arms and looked at the two. Although she said this, seeing Star and Lumine so close, she felt a bit sour.
To say it was envy, but this feeling seemed to carry a bit more bitterness than just envy.
"Ahem, nothing, let's go check out the meteorite quickly…" Star lightly coughed and quickly said to them.
"However, has that chilling curse perhaps already realized that the energy flowing within this abyssal secret orb is playing its destined elegy?"
"The Damselette's meaning is, the only thing around here that would affect a Vision is likely element power." Oz immediately offered his translation for Fischl.
"The meteorite contains element power, is that what you mean?" Star rubbed her chin.
"If there's some kind of resonate between element power and Visions, couldn't we use Visions to search for meteorites in reverse?"
Star's idea was simple: if the meteorites were the main cause of the unconsciousness, then they just needed to clear them away.
And when it came to clearing things, she was, of course, very skilled.
Indeed, her idea was feasible. Relying on Fischl's Vision, they easily found the meteorite fragment.
"Just a moment, for safety's sake, it's better not to touch it easily." Star reached out to stop the two who wanted to step forward.
"If possible, it's better if we clear it from a distance."
"Hmm? How do we do that?" Lumine asked, confused.
"Leave it to me." Star took out her baseball bat and threw it forcefully towards the distant meteorite.
Including the meteorites, the ground, and that one meteorite, all vanished in a burst of explosions.
Well, not exactly vanished into thin air, but saying they turned to dust would be accurate.
"Done." Stelle clapped her hands, and the baseball bat automatically flew back into her grasp.
"This, what terrifying power is this? When did such a subject appear in Immernachtreich?!" Fischl covered her small mouth in surprise.
"But Stelle, like this… I'm afraid someone might come looking for you later." Paimon, having seen Stelle's strength before, wasn't too surprised.
"Uh, probably not?" Stelle rubbed her head. It was desolate all around, and there were no industries here.
Since it was a wilderness area, what she did shouldn't be a problem, right?
"Speaking of which, it seems some debris flew over to us just now." Lumine held out her hand, and there were faint blue specks of light in her palm.
"Could this be, meteorite fragments?" Paimon curiously leaned closer to Lumine, looking down at her hand.
"Eh? Lumine, are you alright??" Stelle quickly asked Lumine.
She had clearly calculated the angle, but she didn't expect fragments to still drift towards them.
"I'm fine. I don't know if the dosage was too small, or if the meteorite itself just doesn't affect me." Lumine shook her head.
"That's good…"
"Meteorites containing element power… Could this be the true culprit of this incident?" Oz looked down at the fragments, lost in thought.
"By the holy covenant, I swear, these meteorites are indeed the root of the nightmare!" Fischl said with great conviction.
"Anyway, let's clear a few more, and then we'll go back to the town to ask about the situation." Lumine collected the fragments in her hand, then said to the others.
"Mm."
The others naturally had no objections, and with Fischl's help, finding these meteorites wasn't difficult.
The only problem was that they were too scattered, and by the time they had finally cleared all the meteorites, the sky had gradually darkened.
During this time, Lumine also boldly tried it out and found that neither she nor Fischl seemed to be affected by these meteorites.
It seemed that these meteorites, emitting element power, only affected ordinary people without a Vision.
Of course, Stelle should be excluded from this group.
"Let's go back. Let's see what the situation in town is like. Also, we might have to spend the night in town." Stelle looked up at the sky, saying to the others with some helplessness.
If they were to walk to Mondstadt now, they wouldn't make it before the city gates closed.
"Mm, I know a good place to stay in Springvale. Just follow me." Lumine nodded, then looked at the two of them, especially Stelle, and said.
That place could perfectly create a private space for the two of them.
Lumine subtly licked her lips.
