Everything about Fischl's appearance seed to be designed to demand attention.
The bangs of her yellow long hair covered one side of her face, hiding the eyepatch beneath.
Her black and purple leotard accentuated her petite build and shapely hips, the coattails giving her an extra flair as she walked through the city streets.
Her stockings were asymtrical as well, one juicy thigh exposed for the world to see.
This young girl was a natural beauty. Light skin and hourglass body.
An outfit and posture that attracted the gaze of everyone around her, be it n or won.
At least until she started talking...
Fischl had the voice of a young teen, while it was pleasant to listen to, the sa couldn't be said about her tone that was laden with arrogant self-satisfaction.
And that wasn't even ntioning her word usage...
She had a vocabulary so weird and fascinating at the sa ti, that the adventurers themselves have made a so called Prinzessin Dictionary they could use to roughly understand what she was saying although it wasn't very effective as there were hundreds of thousands of words and phrases, and it would take a while to find what you were looking for.
Fischl was aware of this fact, but rely scoffed. Such trivial thing as a Dictionary wouldn't be enough for them to fully comprehend or contain her cryptic language of gods.
Besides, the real deal was born powerful and wise enough to understand what she ant by her words, just like the man she t not too long ago, and his ability to comprehend everything she said.
She was indeed talking about Yomite, the one and only.
She didn't know whether to be happy or frustrated about him.
On the one hand, she was almost shining with happiness when she finally found soone who clearly understood what she was saying, but on the other hand, she was tad bit frustrated that her way of speaking was decoded by him in a matter of seconds. That shouldn't have been possible...Unless...
'Unless.'
Fischl silently gazed at the back of Yomite who was currently walking in front of her with Hu Tao.
'Unless that gent ist a kindred soul of stars. That wouldst explain everything. A tragic being of another world from beyond the stars, just like I am.'
They were currently in front of the gates of Mondstadt after exterminating more than six Hilichurl camps around the Wolvendom.
Yomite rembered that he had to collect sothing as a proof of subjugation, so he took their broken masks with him.
Fischl then told him he could even sell those for Mora, which was convenient.
The mont Fischl stepped into the town's marketplace in Mondstadt, she struck a pose right in front of the Adventurer's Guild, sweeping her hand across the plaza like a king addressing his subjects. Or in this case, Prinzessin addressing her loyal followers.
And as she did so a cool breeze drifted through the town, making her blond hair and dark clothes dance in the wind.
"Behold lowly commoners, for I, the Prinzessin der Verurteilung, successor to the grand and glorious lost kingdom of the Imrnachtreich, had returned and humbly request to join this commoner's party! Such a sha that a sovereign of my stature must stoop to walking these lowly streets of Mond yet, that is my perilous fate. Beseech then, Katheryne!"
"O-Oh...Welco Miss Fischl..." Katheryne had a troubled look on her face. She slowly reached her hand towards a book that was neatly placed on a small shelf right next to her and started breezing through it, trying to locate words.
"Ehm...Imr...Imrnach... sothing...Could an twenty three things!? Uh...please wait for a bit..."
'Is she being serious right now?'
Yomite frowned as he walked up towards the counter, "She wishes to join our party, so could you write her na down as a new mber? Also we have completed the daily quests."
"Ah sure! Certainly!" She was visibly relieved. Dealing with Fischl was harder than expected.
"Aha! So you do understand! Then fate does indeed bring kindred spirits together! Grandiose!" Fischl gestured towards the sky.
"Birds of feather, flock together! My days as an interpreter are over!" Oz's voice sounded strangely happy.
As if a huge weight was taken off of his non-existant shoulders.
"No, I just guessed..." Yomite denied it quickly.
Fischl looked happier than before. After a mont of thinking she gave a small smile and crossed her arms, "Do not fret! A Prinzessin should always give praise where praise is due... Now, let us converse so more. Do not be mistaken, these are to be the foundations of our new world..."
It was far easier than he expected, he didn't even have to try that hard.
Apparently the reason she was joining his party was that she was interested in conversing with him, although he could clearly see that when they defeated a Hilichurl, she would try to collect as much materials to sell as she could, so Mora might have also been the reason.
'Birds of feather flock together my ass, I will have to talk with that raven Oz about these allusions that weren't true in the slightest...'
It was only a montary feeling of embarassnt that won't happen again.
He just wanted to make sure he would take any chance he could to get another capable mber aboard, nothing more.
'No more roleplaying. It pains on physical, ntal and spiritual level...'
Still, Fischl said she preferred going in alone and that she might not be available at all tis, at least that was what he understood from her speech pattern, but she didn't mind joining a party.
Apparently, she had joined multiple parties before, but it was spontaneous choice, and the other mbers didn't really reach out to her the next day and avoided her the best they could.
That was also partially the reason she preferred being alone.
Yomite concluded that she was being alienated by people, just like Hu Tao.
Oz explained her whole situation to him during a bathroom break.
'That's kind of sad...'
He guessed that they probably couldn't handle her antics and got rid of her as soon as they could, as communication in a party was a must and she was a huge derit when it ca to speaking.
As Katheryne reached out for docunts and a oddly shaped item behind her, Yomite noticed sothing weird at the back of her neck but chose to ignore it.
'Nah...there Is no way that there is an actual keyhole there... right? My eyes are just playing tricks on ... It's probably a birthmark or a tattoo...' He refused to believe what he just saw.
Katheryne then placed a card and odd item which turned out to be a black pin In front of them while saying, "Please drop your blood on the card."
Yomite pricked his finger with the pin as he was told, and so did Hu Tao.
Although it was a bit hard for him to do so and he had to press the finger much harder than expected for it to even bleed.
When he touched the card with that bloodied finger, white characters slowly begun to surface.
Katheryne then explained, "This is a guild AR card, you are capable enough to beco an adventurer now. They are given to the new adventurers the mont they complete their first daily missions successfully. Now the blood contract was ford, so if soone other than the original owner touches this card for ten seconds, the magic device will turn the card grey. It is for counterfeit prevention. Also, if you happen to lose the card, report it to the guild imdiately. Although it costs money, we will reissue a new one."
Katheryne took Yomite's card, and after a short while, the black card turned grey. When he touched the card once again, it instantly returned to black.
"That's amazing."
Yomite wondered how it worked.
'It just takes your blood, and it's bound to you forever. Interesting.'
"Hmpf. Basic mortal equipnt, nothing special." Fischl sneered.
"That finalized the registration. You are both officially AR 0, which I hope will steadily increase in the future! I wish you luck! And as for you Miss Fischl, you are already AR 28 but by joining a party, you will also be given a rank of their party, which is currently AR 0. So you may unlock a new party reward perks as you go on adventures together! Of course, your previous rank won't be lost."
She also handed all three of them dog tags, which would update their team adventurer rank automatically.
"Shiny~!"
Hu Tao played with it in her hands.
Yomite then asked for one more tag as there was still Lumine, but Katheryne said that Lumine had to be present and that she couldn't give away more tags than the current number of people present.
