I thought she was a poor brother I needed to take care of, but then one day you tell me she's actually the Dragon King?
Do you think this is a novel?!
Fischl looked at Mona with resentment. What happened to the astrologer's promise that he wouldn't lie?
This made Mona feel a little guilty, but she really wasn't lying.
“I…I’ve actually said many times that I’m not poor.” Mona scratched her head.
Yes, Mona has said it many times, but everyone thinks she's just putting on a brave face.
After all, Mona usually can't even afford to eat, and she's practically digging for wild vegetables and eating tree leaves in the wilderness of Mondstadt. Who would have thought she was actually rich?
With so much money, can't you treat your mouth and stomach a little better? They've suffered terribly since they've been with you.
Xin Yan in the story is different; she says she also wants to try Mondstadt cuisine.
Xin Yan's best friend is Xiang Ling. Her mouth and stomach have truly enjoyed all the sweetness. She'll want to be with you again in her next life.
Fischl naturally wouldn't refuse Xin Yan: "Hmph, then I'll bestow honor upon you. Next time, you may all accompany me to meet Father and Mother."
Fischl was quite happy. She used to have no friends, but now she could bring several friends home with her.
With so many friends, wouldn't it be a waste of time to play Ludo all day at home for a party?
[Man Ye responded, "Since that's the case, it's been a long time since I visited a friend's house. I'll gladly accept your invitation."]
He really hadn't visited his friends in a long time; all his wind-element friends...
Fischl was even happier. "Look, look! He's admitted he's my friend!" she exclaimed.
Fischl's mother was also quite happy; with so many children coming, she had to make some preparations.
Whether it's the characters in the story or everyone in reality, they've all gone a bit off-topic at this point. Only Oz is still concerned about the 'main storyline,' and he reminds everyone.
[Oz: "Shouldn't we solve the immediate puzzle first?"]
All I can say is that Oz is a real jinx to his mother; he's really worried himself sick.
Paimon usually handles the Q-chapter, but this time the topic is food, and Paimon has also fallen for it. The God's Mouth wants to satisfy its God's Stomach.
Mona's room was just a minor incident; when everyone touched the small 'Hallucination' inside the room, they returned to the illusion.
[Mona's past self-talk: "Astrologers can understand the deepest astrological phenomena, and therefore, they are not allowed to be arrogant."]
"If they believe that this knowledge will make them so powerful that they are omnipotent, they will instead be banished by the stars."
So Mona was never arrogant; she was just a little proud of her genius.
But she was just proud. When she met someone like Lin Qiu, who was even more 'genius' than her, her first reaction was to humbly learn from him, rather than to get angry and embarrassed.
This proves that she was merely proud, not arrogant.
However, this is the Mona of today. The Mona of the past actually had an arrogant past, when she thought she could understand all the destinies in the universe.
Perhaps because of this thought, she began to 'not see' the stars anymore. At this point, Mona's teacher said to her:
"You shouldn't feel lost. If you ever feel lost, astrology can't help you."
This is advice given to Mona by her mentor, the old woman.
[Mona in the past: "We astrologers can't predict our own fate, but today, that statement seems to have taken on a different meaning."]
Astrologers can see the path ahead of others, but not their own.
When they look up at the stars to observe their destiny, it feels like they are sailing on a vast ocean, but they can't find a light that belongs to them.
Even without lighthouses or guiding lights, humans will still set sail in the darkness.
Astrologers who can see the light and the destiny cannot change anything, nor do they need to change anything.
Astrologers cannot see their own light, nor do they need to be someone else's light.
There are no perfect legends in the world, nor are there heroes who can save everyone.
Mona: "What I need to do... is to seize my own destiny!"
There is no hero who can save everyone, so just be your own hero!
Once again in that unknown space, the sky above was 'Van Gogh's Starry Night'. This time, the colors of the starry sky were deeper, and the stars were more numerous and beautiful, leaving everyone stunned.
Even Oz had to praise the beauty of Mona's dream, calling her the best sorceress in the history of Ethereal Night.
That's true. It seems that there are no other Dharma Masters in our Pure Land of the Night.
[Mona complains: "Thanks, but how many years has the Pure Land of Night been around...?"]
To be honest, the Pure Land of the Night is still underage, after all, even its creator is an underage beautiful girl.
Among the crowd, Wan Ye was the most cultured, and his words of praise were impressive even to those who didn't understand them.
[Manyo: "The stars are like jewels, the moon like pearls; this is the most magnificent starry sky I have ever seen."]
Even with most readers' limited vocabulary, seeing this scene would likely elicit only a simple, "It's really beautiful."
A more impressive comment would be something like, "Holy crap, this is seriously amazing!"

Character Voice Lines - Fischl: About Mona and the Sisters
"This princess has seen through the threads of fate. Lady Megistus is a younger sister who needs my care... Ha, as expected of the court's grand sorcerer, even fate is manipulated by her..."
"What! You're saying she thinks I'm the younger sister who needs to be taken care of?! How awful! I'm the one who's always taking care of her!"
Oz: "Ahem, Miss, watch your words."
Chapter 459 Mona's Story - The Crystal Bird
Xin Yan exclaimed, "So beautiful..."
Readers who saw Xin Yan's words commented: This perfectly expresses my feelings: This is exactly me!
That's so true, that's exactly what we would say!
Xin Yan continued, "To possess such an illusion, Mona must also harbor a vast and boundless starry sea within her heart."
We're sorry, we were too arrogant. We don't have your way of speaking! We overstepped our bounds.
Xin Yan may not have as much vocabulary as Wan Ye, but she is really good at speaking.
Fischl didn't speak because Oz had already expressed her thoughts, but if she were to actually say a few words, she would definitely be the one with the most extensive vocabulary.
Mona looked at the starry sky: "I think this must be what we've been looking up at."
Mona and the others were looking up at the starry sky, so it was "looking up at the starry sky." I understand, Mona wants to eat "looking up at the starry sky."
Of course not. Mona was actually marveling at the splendor of the starry sky, saying it was even more beautiful than what she saw during her astrological consultations.
This is the kind of starry sky she longs for!
Mona felt a little proud thinking about this, as she could only see such a spectacle in her dreams.
[Mona: "Did you know? The night sky of Teyvat is incredibly mysterious; it seems to hold all the answers to the world."]
Everyone actually knows this, because it was mentioned in Lin Qiu's previous stories.
The false sky reflects the truth; this is the intelligence revealed by the skirmishers.
In the book, Mona explains the illusory heavens, where the starry sky is false, but the Water Divination Chart reveals the true starry sky, which is the starry sky composed of the constellations of Fate.
If a star is on its proper trajectory, its owner will enjoy peace and happiness; but if it deviates from its trajectory, the owner of that constellation will suffer misfortune.
Incidentally, Bennett's constellation didn't deviate from its trajectory; he is a 'Dangerous Road', born unlucky.
It belongs to the kind of constellation where staying on the right track will bring bad luck, and deviating from the track will lead to death.
The starry sky we are in now is so vast that it can contain all the stars in the sky.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call such a starry sky a 'miracle,' because such a starry sky doesn't exist in reality.
Perhaps Mona simply wanted to see everyone's stars on the right track, which is why such a starry sky appeared in her dream.
Mona has quite lofty ambitions; she wants everyone to live a healthy and happy life, and she has worked hard towards that goal.
Tell the other person the truth and help them get back on track, even if the truth makes them sad or angry. This is all to help Xingxing get back on track.
[Mona: "...I think I know what's hidden in those stars."]
Hidden in the starry sky are her stars, her own 'destiny' that astrologers have never seen before.
"—Now, I will seize my own destiny."
It must be said that Mona herself and her fantasy world are both full of romance.
Both her thoughts and the scenery of this dreamlike realm can only be described as romantic.
And now, Setsuna—no, Mona!—she's going to seize her future! Her destiny!
Mona grasped the future; an illustration was presented to everyone—a small, transparent bird made of crystal.
[Mona: "There is a small, transparent bird made of crystal, beautiful yet fragile, that can sing beautiful songs."]
The image shows a transparent crystal bird, and people walk past it as if it doesn't exist.
"But ordinary people can't see it; they think it's a scam."
"How can there be a transparent bird in the world? And how can it sing?"
Clearly, this story is about Mona, who is the little bird.
But it wasn't just Mona who was being talked about; a deity was also captivated by her gaze.
"After hearing this, the bird flapped its wings and flew away."
The bird in the illustration flies high into the sky and becomes a star streaking across the night sky.
"Crossing oceans and over mountains, it reached the night sky and became a star."
"Its radiance is exceptionally dazzling, enough to illuminate everyone."
In the night sky, a star shines brightly; it is the transformed form of a bird, guiding the sailboats at sea.
"It allows all who can see it to follow the light through the night and sail across the ocean with the stars."
The scene changes, with a close-up showing the stars that the birds have transformed into.
It's like an intertwined knot, except that there's a bird pattern at the center.
"Born of wisdom, trapped by ignorance."
"It never complains; this is its 'fate.'"
"And its significance lies in guiding people to see 'destiny'."
After the illustration was finished, everyone returned to the island.
The illustration just now was indeed talking about Mona, but it was also talking about all 'wisdom'.
Almost all geniuses have experienced this kind of misunderstanding.
Because it is so far ahead of its time, ordinary people cannot see 'it', and the future in the eyes of geniuses is too far away.
Born of wisdom, yet trapped by ignorance, but geniuses never complain, for complaining solves nothing.
They continue onward, like a guiding star; those who can see 'it' will follow it through 'ignorance'.
What Mona wants to do is to let everyone see "destiny," to see "it."
In fact, the phrase "born of wisdom, trapped by ignorance" is a perfect description of the Little Grass God.
In short, the illusion ended, and everyone thought Mona's story was over as well.
However, Mona in the story adds her own drama by discovering a blind spot!
There are fools on the island, but the dream seems to have nothing to do with them? At least there are no clues in the dream pointing to the fools.
Is this reasonable? This is unreasonable! How could the ones causing trouble not be the Fools?
But these dreams, in terms of their purpose, really have nothing to do with the Fools, which is strange.
[Mona's analysis: "Perhaps these illusions related to us are not the 'process' but the 'result'?"]
She meant that dreams are the result of a certain event, a product that was predetermined.
