Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Alice suddenly snapped her fingers, and colorful bubbles gushed out from the device on her waist, refracting rainbow light in the sunlight and enveloping the three of them.

Paimon's nose was rubbed by bubbles and he couldn't help but sneeze.

"Oh my, young people nowadays are so impatient." Alice pushed aside her drooping red hair, and a mechanical dragonfly fluttered around her ear. "I'm Klee's mother~"

"Klee's mother?" Paimon poked his head out from behind Ying, staring at the Dudu pendant dangling from her waist. "But Klee said her mother was adventuring far away..."

"So you're back now~" Alice suddenly came closer, and the star sand at the end of her hair fell on Paimon's cloak, "Little guy, do you want to try my special bubble gum?"

As if by magic, she produced a rainbow-colored candy with steam rising from the four-leaf clover pattern on the wrapper.

Ying reached out to stop Paimon who was about to take the candy: "You suddenly stopped us, it shouldn't be just to give us candy, right?"

"How boring~" Alice pouted, her fingertips circling the ends of her hair, "I just came back from Natta, and I found that the wind in Mondstadt has a lot of interesting flavors."

She suddenly twitched her nose, and the alchemical device on her waist jingled. "For example... the water of Starfall Lake smells like caramel, and the tiles on the roof of the Knights of Favonius smell like medium-rare steak—"

Before he finished speaking, a muffled "boom" suddenly came from inside the city wall.

Orange-red smoke rose from the direction of the Knights of Favonius, and several figures could be vaguely seen fumbling in the smoke.

Alice's eyes lit up: "That explosion! Is it Klee's bouncing bomb?"

She grabbed Ying and ran towards the city gate, her shawl decorated with star and moon patterns fluttering in the wind.

Paimeng hurriedly chased after him: "Wait for us!"

In the backyard of the Knights of Favonius, Klee, whose body was covered in charred black, was being picked up by Captain Jean and given a lecture.

The little girl's red beret was tilted to one side, and she was holding a half-smoking metal pipe in her arms. "Captain Jean, Klee really just wanted to make an automatic fuel-adding device for Albedo's alchemy furnace..."

Qin rubbed her temple and sighed, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure: "Ying, Paimon? And..."

"Mom!" Kelly suddenly burst out with amazing strength and crashed into Alice's arms like a small cannonball.

Alice was knocked back two steps, and the device on her waist clanged and dropped colorful candies.

Kaiya, who was cleaning the scene, suddenly had a tremor in his hand and the bucket hit his foot with a bang.

He hopped over on one foot and said, "Hey, isn't this the legendary witch who blasted hot springs out of the snowy mountains?"

Alice held her daughter and turned around three times. Suddenly, she took out a music box in the shape of a dodoko from her cloak. "Clang clang~ This is a little toy I made. When you press the switch, a whale will sing! Little Kelli, this is a gift from your mother."

"thanks Mom!"

Keli's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to press the button. The melodious whale call immediately echoed in the courtyard.

Lisa, who was reading in the library, had a trembling hand, and the black tea spread out like a red plum blossom on the ancient book.

She opened the window and smiled helplessly: "Everyone, if you want to hold a concert, you can go to Fengqidi."

"Ms. Alice." Jean looked helplessly at the candies on the floor. "Welcome back, but Klee has already blown up three lab benches this week."

Hearing this, the red-haired witch was not angry at all. Instead, her eyes lit up. She excitedly lifted Klee higher and said loudly, "Only three? My little Klee is amazing! When I was her age, I could do more than this!"

Jean held her forehead with her hand with a helpless look on her face. "Ms. Alice, please stop encouraging her. If she continues like this, the entire Knights of Favonius will be blown to the sky by her!"

Alice put Klee down and said to Jean with a smile, "Hey, Jean, children should try more and explore more. It's a good thing that Klee has such ideas!"

As she spoke, she squatted down and touched Klee's head. "But little Klee, next time before you do an experiment, you must discuss it with Brother Albedo or Captain Jean first. Don't do it secretly on your own anymore, okay?"

Keli nodded obediently, "Yes, Keli knows! Mom, how long can you stay this time?"

Alice blinked her eyes. "Well, it depends on my mood! Maybe in a few days you'll want to go somewhere else for adventure, but before you leave, mom will definitely accompany you well!"

Kaiya hopped on one foot, finally put the bucket away, and limped over. "Ms. Alice, you've been gone for a long time. Did you bring anything fun this time?"

"Of course!" Alice stood up and took out a bunch of strange little gadgets from the alchemy device on her waist, including a small windmill that rotates automatically and a rubber ball that makes a strange sound when squeezed. "These are all little gadgets I collected from all over the place, you can pick whatever you want!"

Klee's eyes lit up immediately. She rushed over to pick out a small glowing badge and pinned it on her beret. "Wow, this is so cool! Thanks, Mom!"

Paimon also came over, picked up a small whistle, put it to his lips and blew it, "Woo-du-du, this is fun! Ms. Alice, how come you have so many fun things?"

Alice smiled and said, "These are all collected by me during my adventures. The world is so big, there are so many interesting things! When you have time, you can go out and take a look."

Ying looked at the lively crowd and remembered the purpose of her and Paimon's visit today. While everyone's attention was on the novelties brought by Alice, she gently touched Paimon and whispered, "Paimon, we almost forgot the main thing."

Paimon came back to his senses and nodded quickly, raising his voice and saying, "That's right! Captain Jean, and everyone else, we came to Mondstadt today because we have something important to tell you."

Hearing this, everyone turned to look over here.

Paimon turned in the air, put his hands on his hips and said, "We are going to hold a hundred-day banquet for Su Xun and Shen He's daughter Yue'er, and invite all the friends in Mondstadt to go to Liyue to celebrate!"

Captain Jean smiled gently upon hearing this, and gently brushed the burnt ash on the ends of Klee's hair with her fingertips. "So it's a happy event. The Knights of Favonius will naturally prepare gifts to congratulate you."

She turned to look at Alice who was fiddling with the mechanical dragonfly, "If Ms. Alice is interested in going with you, why not spend a few more days with Kelly?"

"Hundred Days Banquet?" Alice suddenly took out a starry sky instrument from her cloak, and lavender stardust flowed in the glass ball. "I remember that it is a Liyue custom to give away longevity locks?"

She tapped her fingertips on the device quickly, and the stardust suddenly condensed into a mini version of the starry sky. "How about using this as a mold? After injecting elemental power, it can project the starry sky of Teyvat!"

Kaiya bent down to pick up the rainbow candy that had fallen to his feet. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Compared to traditional gifts, Ms. Alice's invention may turn the one-year-old ceremony into an elemental reaction experiment."

He turned his wrist, and a rose made of frost bloomed in his palm. "But Mond's blessing should still have the scent of wind and wine."
