"Achoo!" Yu Jin inexplicably sneezed the moment he crawled out of the sea onto Eagle Plume Beach.
Could it be that Collei and the others were thinking of him? Yu Jin touched the protruding nose horn of his helmet, or perhaps he had been in the sea for too long and caught a cold.
But then again, the Spring Sprite's blessing was really useful. His ability to ride the wind and waves at sea owed a lot to that blessing.
He should talk to her sometime to see if there were other Spring Sprites and get a few more blessings.
Then he could learn skills like fishing and cooking in an instant, which was exciting to think about.
Yu Jin was treating the Spring Sprite like a wish-granting machine.
But Yu Jin quickly stopped his wild thoughts; completing the commission was the priority now. Ten days had already passed since he left and returned.
"I wonder if the Fatui are a bit quieter," Yu Jin mumbled as he ran.
As the villain in his mind, Yu Jin felt he should pay more attention to the Fatui.
Yu Jin had walked the road from Eagle Plume Beach to Mondstadt many times, so he was quite familiar with it.
The scenery along the way was no different; it was all familiar to Yu Jin.
However, very quickly, Yu Jin felt something and darted into a bush.
Not long after he hid in the bush, a long-absent gale suddenly swept across Windrise, which had been calm until then.
The strong wind howled, kicking up sand and stones.
Yu Jin tightly gripped the main trunk of the bush in his hand, but it wasn't him that was about to be blown away, but the bush he was in.
If Yu Jin hadn't gripped the main trunk of the bush tightly, these low-lying small trees would probably have flown into the sky.
Yu Jin thought about it; he felt that if he didn't do anything, when the strong wind blew, everything would fly up, leaving only him lying on the ground.
That scene would be embarrassing for him, and also for the one who caused the strong wind.
"Roar—" A furious cry rang out, and the wind blew even stronger. Out of curiosity, Yu Jin poked his head out to look.
A Dragon! It was a brand new Dragon!
Yu Jin saw a giant Dragon, tens of meters in size, hovering in mid-air. It was a brand new Dragon, unlike any Dragon Yu Jin had ever seen.
Its entire body was not covered in rock-like scales like an Ancient Dragon; instead, it was covered in dense, greenish feathers.
And its power was also different from the Dragons Yu Jin had seen; every time it flapped its giant wings, endless strong winds would sweep in.
A storm of this magnitude absolutely could not be caused by simply flapping its wings, even for a giant Dragon.
"A Dragon that controls the power of wind?" Yu Jin looked at the green currents swirling around the giant Dragon's body; that was Anemo gathering.
But why was it bothering a tree? Yu Jin was very puzzled. Because he could see that the giant Dragon's strong winds were mainly blowing towards the giant oak tree at Windrise.
Other places were merely affected. Unfortunately, even such a fierce gale could not blow down the giant oak tree at Windrise; the strong wind only stirred up some leaves and then ceased.
Seeing this scene, the giant Dragon visibly grew angry, and more Anemo power began to gather around it.
Just as Yu Jin thought it was about to unleash a big move, the giant Dragon let out a mournful roar, and the Anemo power that had gathered for a long time suddenly dissipated, and even the giant Dragon's body nearly fell to the ground.
"What was that?" Yu Jin frowned. He had just felt an aura not belonging to the giant Dragon escaping from its body.
Its painful appearance just now was probably related to this thing.
Unfortunately, the giant Dragon didn't give Yu Jin more time to observe. It let out an unwilling roar and flew away into the distance.
"Tsk, what great destructive power," Yu Jin casually stuck the broken main trunk of the bush into the soil and walked out from the drooping bush.
Now, only the area around the great oak tree at Windrise remained intact. As for other places, even the aftermath of the strong wind was enough to leave them in ruins.
"Hehe, it's none of my business." Yu Jin smiled and then ran towards Mondstadt.
If a small piece of land had become like that just now, Yu Jin could have helped restore it. But that was a very large area, and if Yu Jin were to do it, it would take him forever.
So Yu Jin decisively ran away.
"Ha! I'm back!" Yu Jin stretched at the gates of Mondstadt and said with a smile. Then he walked into Mondstadt amidst the surprised gazes of others.
As for the others, let them be surprised. Anyway, no one would check his identity directly like in Inazuma.
"Woohoo, time to turn in the commission!" As soon as Yu Jin entered Mondstadt, he didn't even go home, but ran directly to Ryota's residence.
"Bang bang bang!" A slightly noisy knocking sound rang out at Ryota's door. As the first A-rank commission Yu Jin completed, he was very invested.
"Coming, coming, stop knocking!" Ryota's hurried response came from inside the door.
"It's you, you're that Adventurer!" Ryota recognized Yu Jin as soon as he opened the door, as he was quite conspicuous.
"It's done!" Yu Jin patted his chest and pulled out a reply letter.
"It's done?!" Ryota snatched the envelope from Yu Jin's hand and eagerly opened it to look.
"It's Uncle Washizu's handwriting!" Ryota muttered excitedly while carefully taking out the small wooden piece from the envelope.
"Hiss! The wood from Higi Village, so familiar." Ryota pinched the wooden piece, feeling the tingling sensation in his hand, and smiled contentedly.
At least now he knew that everything in his hometown was still well.
"Oh! Right, I'll go get Mr. Yu Jin his Reward!" Ryota looked at Yu Jin, who was staring at him, slapped his head, and immediately ran into the house to get Mora.
"How can I accept this?" Yu Jin rubbed his hands, speaking to Ryota, who was now just a retreating figure.
Soon, Yu Jin received his Reward for the past ten days or so. A total of 300,000 Mora!
Hehe, one step closer to four million.
Yu Jin put the Mora into the leather pouch on his waist, said goodbye to Ryota, and then ran towards the Adventurers' Guild.
"To the stars and the abyss!" Yu Jin preempted Katheryne by saying the slogan first.
"Haha, it seems Mr. Yu Jin is quite satisfied with his Adventure." Katheryne felt nothing special about her line being stolen and continued to chat with Yu Jin.
"I've completed the A-rank commission from before!" Yu Jin waved his hand and slapped the commission slip onto the Adventurers' Guild counter.
Katheryne showed a rare expression of surprise. That commission wasn't dangerous, but mainly troublesome.
For foreigners to enter Inazuma under the Sakoku Decree was extremely difficult, let alone delivering a letter deep within Inazuma's territory.
"Hmm, Mr. Yu Jin completed it beautifully." Katheryne carefully examined the commission slip. After confirming it was correct, she marked it with a "√" in the dossier, indicating that the commission was completed.
"That's good." Yu Jin nodded with satisfaction. The number and rank of completed commissions were linked to the Adventurer title.
Of course, this wasn't absolute. Reaching places no one had ever been before could also earn one the title of Legendary Adventurer from the Adventurers' Guild.
"Goodbye, Miss Katheryne. Remember to save any high-level commissions for me in the future." Yu Jin felt that everything was done, so he turned and went home.
"Certainly." Katheryne smiled and watched Yu Jin leave, wondering what she was thinking.
Walking through the familiar streets, Yu Jin couldn't help but sigh repeatedly. In Inazuma, due to being wanted, he hadn't even entered a few towns.
Now back in Mondstadt, he could finally relax.
"Hum hum hum~" Yu Jin happily hummed a tune as his familiar little house got closer and closer.
But he soon stopped humming, because he saw that the lock on the wooden door of his little house had been opened.
"A thief?" Yu Jin was only surprised. Who would steal his things for no reason? His house had only a bed, a table, and a chair left after Collei and Garura left.
The stolen items probably wouldn't even be enough for the thief to eat a meal. Despite saying that, Yu Jin was actually indifferent to the fact that his house had been broken into by a thief.
Because the people he usually met were usually life-threatening. Before coming to this world, thieves were representatives of high quality in Yu Jin's mind.
With that thought, Yu Jin pushed open the wooden door, and then his shouts came from inside the small house.
"Oh my god! A lady is trespassing!"
Thanks to Kuoluo, Jing Bingqing, and Guxue Cangqiong for their monthly votes. There will be an extra chapter today as well!
By the way, there are quite a few people reading at night, so much so that I didn't even get to scroll on my phone for long before getting up to write.
