Character Voice Lines - Funina: About Lin Qiu - Part 1

"Before I broke free from my constraints, he was the only person I could confide in."

At that time, I felt as if I had fallen into the deep sea, without a ray of light, and I couldn't even feel my own existence.

He reached out his hand to me, curled up at the bottom of the sea.

Chapter 56 Dina Zede's 'Fantasy Friend'

While Lin Qiu and Fu Ningna's 'date' was still going on, a huge uproar was brewing outside.

In Mondstadt, people have begun reading the 'Chapter of the Songstress'.

The opening scene features familiar faces like Ying and Paimon.

The main characters in the story keep changing, but the two of them never change.

People have now realized that in Qiu Cheng's books, there are only ever-changing protagonists and the constant traveler and Paimon.

At the beginning of the story, the two discuss the topic of imaginary friends.

This topic also resonated with others, such as Dina Zede.

The book was brought by Dixia; she had heard that the 'Little Rabbit Chapter' in the book had given courage to many people.

That's why she brought the book to Dina Zede, hoping that Dina Zede could also gain courage from it.

After buying the book, Dixia immediately handed it over to Dina Zede.

She just didn't expect that she bought the latest version of the 'Song Fairy Chapter' story, which didn't include the 'Little Rabbit Chapter'.

"Dishia, do you have any fantasy friends?"

Dina Zede looked at Dixia, who was sitting on the windowsill.

Dixia wasn't reading the book, so she was a little puzzled by Dina Zede's sudden question.

However, she still answered seriously, "Yes."

Dixia gazed out the window, seemingly reminiscing about the past.

"When I was little, my dad would always tell me some childish stories."

"They're all about fighting dragons and rescuing princesses, it's so childish."

"He would also ask me to act with him, and I usually played the hero."

"Although it was naive, I did imagine some friends and enemies back then."

Although Dixia kept calling it childish, she never looked down on this memory.

This childhood memory has always warmed her and shaped her into who she is today.

They say that we forget fairy tales when we grow up.

Dixia wouldn't; she simply buried the fairy tale deep in her heart.

"Really? What an interesting father." Dina Zede covered her mouth and chuckled.

He then added, "I have one too."

"I'm not sure if she's a figment of my imagination or if she actually exists."

"But I believe she definitely exists, she must be Lord Little Lucky Grass King!"

Dina Zede is referring to Naxida.

She had only seen Nasita in her dreams and couldn't be sure if it was real or not.

However, Dina Zedeh is more inclined to believe it's true.

The Grass God must be someone so gentle that he would even take care of an ordinary person like himself.

"The Grass God?" Dixia had never seen the Grass God before.

Let alone her, a desert dweller, even few people in the city of Sumeru have ever seen the Grass God.

Will such a deity really appear before Dina Zede?

If it's true, why didn't the gods save her?

Do even gods have their own troubles?

“That’s right, it must be Lord Little Lucky Grass King!” Dina Zede said firmly.

"Really? If that's true, I'd like to meet her too."

“The God of Wisdom should know how to cure your illness, right?” Dixia said with a smile.

Dina Zede looked at Dixia tenderly.

My one and only friend is truly always thinking of me.

"Don't just sit there, come and watch with me."

“Okay.” Dixia didn’t stand on ceremony and sat down next to Dina Zede.

The two read the rest of the story together.

Wendy: "Travelers! What a coincidence, you're here too."

Paimon: "You street performer! It's you again!"

Wendy didn't care about Paimon's nickname and explained her stated purpose for being there.

Wendy: "Lisa recently made something interesting."

It's that 'monolithic lens' that allows one to see the imagined friends of others.

"Seeing your imaginary friend's 'monolithus'? An interesting topic."

Lisa became interested.

Regardless of whether Lisa originally made this prop.

At least for now, Lisa is interested in making this prop.

Meanwhile, far away in Liyue, there was also a person—no, it should be said that there was also a large bird that became interested in this.

"To let mortals see the friends of fantasy? I wonder if it's possible to achieve this with a combination of mechanisms and magical arts?"

Liuyun Borrowing Wind True Lord excitedly flapped his wings.

The book was recommended by the Emperor when he came to the gathering last time, so Xianyun (Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun) asked Ganyu to buy her a copy.

I never expected that a book written by an ordinary person would be so interesting; that's how I got this inspiration.

Ignore this research duo.

At this moment, Ying, who was sitting in the tavern with Wendy, looked at Wendy with a suspicious expression. What a coincidence!

"Hehe." Wendy didn't say anything.

Wendy didn't say anything, but she felt ashamed inside.

To my surprise, I had only noticed Mr. Stanley in the pub for a short time, and now his books are already out there!

Wendy immediately understood what problem the story was trying to solve.

This is so much like his usual way of handling problems.

Fortunately, I outmaneuvered Tvalin in the matter, preventing him from making all his predictions!

Can other gods do this?

Diluc looked at Venti with the same suspicion; this Wind God was truly unpredictable.

Since Wendy didn't want to say anything, they had no choice but to look at the answers given in the book.

The traveler, Paimon, and Wendy experiment with magical gadgets in the city.

It wasn't until they used this prop to look at Diluc and the other adults.

Bored adults don't have "imaginary friends".

[Diluc: "Look at my 'Imaginary Friend'? That kind of thing didn't exist even fifteen years ago."]

In the book, the traveler approaches Diluc and speaks with him; this is Diluc's reply.

"Even if we went back fifteen years, this wouldn't happen? Really?" Kaeya looked at Diluc with a smile.

"Hmph." Diluc didn't bother to argue.

But if time could really go back fifteen years, Diluc back then hadn't yet shed his youthful spirit.

Returning to the story in the book, the three travelers wanted to verify when "fantasy friends" would disappear.

So they found a girl who was somewhere between an adult and a child—Eileen.

Eileen also has "imaginary friends," but her "imaginary friends" have surprised everyone.

Her "fantasy friend" is actually the famous piano ensemble leader!

This was the first time anyone had encountered such a situation.

The "fantasy friend" turns out to be a real person.

Before this, everyone thought that "Fantasy Friends" emphasized "fantasy".

In retrospect, what truly stands out about "fantasy friends" is the word "friends".

Even if it's just a fantasy, even if it's just an illusion, it's still the "friend" you long for day and night.

"It...it was me?" Qin was also surprised.

However, she was very happy to receive such admiration and affection from her juniors.

“The piano is really popular,” Lisa said with a smile.

She would always come to find Qin whenever she was reading.

Since their offices are very close, it's more interesting to watch it together.

Chapter 57 A Bottle of Fine Wine for Barbatos

Wendy and the Traveler obtained information from Erin.

Mr. Stanley, the "Great Adventurer" of Mondstadt, will be exploring the Temple of the Lion of the South with Jack.

When the travelers arrived, Jack and Stanley were already surrounded by monsters and their lives were in imminent danger.

This puzzled readers, as this Mr. Stanley was a legend in Mondstadt.

How could a great adventurer who conquered the Sea of ​​Ashes be surrounded by some weak monsters?

【"have a finger in the pie!"】

"Am I, Stanley, not capable of handling such a simple situation?"

Stanley's reaction seemed somewhat agitated, as if being rescued was something shameful.

After rescuing Stanley and the others, the travelers continued their journey.

Throughout the journey, Stanley continued to mention his name and experiences.

Stanley: "The Sea of ​​Ashes...a deafening silence where the viewer sees nothing but ashes."

"My companion was swept away by the vortex created by the monster, but thankfully I held on tightly!"

Stanley's tone was both firm and melancholic as he spoke.

It seemed as if he regretted not being able to save the other person?

Jack pressed on, "Whoa! Is he alright?"

Stanley replied, "Unfortunately, in the end, I was the only one who set foot on my homeland again."
