Genshin Impact: Spoiling the Future

[Oz: ”Pardon me, the Prinzessin is not well-versed in the language of mortals.”]

[Paimon: ”So that’s why you have to translate for her?”]

[Oz: ”I am ashamed to admit it, but this is not mere translation—it is the conveyance of Her Highness’s divine will. I suspect the phenomenon affecting Visions can only be attributed to elemental energy.”]

[Fischl: ”Mm, your diligence is commendable, Oz. Those blinded by the mundanity of this world can never grasp the true meaning of my words as swiftly as you do.”]

At this point, the readers began to feel something was off. Initially, they thought the Prinzessin might know something beyond their understanding, speaking of things they were unaware of.

But now, it seemed Fischl was merely replacing common terms with convoluted phrases for things they already knew.

Still, places like the ”Immernachtreich” were indeed unheard of—did such a place truly exist? If not, then what was the deal with this talking crow?

This doubt remained unresolved, as the Traveler in the story did not ask these questions.

They used their Visions and elemental sight to clear the meteorite fragments before returning to Springvale to check if the patients’ conditions had improved.

The good news was that the comatose patients had awakened. The bad news was that Amy’s ”chuunibyou” syndrome showed no signs of recovery.

The patients’ awakening confirmed that their comas were indeed linked to the nearby meteorites—once the meteorites were cleared, everyone should regain consciousness.

When Paimon asked what the comatose patients had seen in their dreams, one replied:

[”I only remember feeling very cold, walking endlessly up a mountain path... It must have been Dragonspine, right?”]

This revealed a clue: the dreamers had been climbing a snowy mountain in their dreams, unable to control their own bodies.

It felt less like a dream and more like witnessing someone else’s life.

The Traveler and Fischl continued clearing the meteorites. Once most were dealt with, the patients gradually woke up.

Then, Adelinde, the head maid of Dawn Winery, invited the Traveler and Fischl for a meeting.

Upon arrival, Fischl and Oz immediately launched into a grand, verbose self-introduction. Paimon couldn’t take it anymore and interrupted:

[Paimon: ”Okay, okay, that’s enough introductions! Your titles are way too long!”]

[Fischl: ”Thou darest interrupt the Prinzessin’s diplomatic discourse, O pale little envoy!”]

And so, Paimon gained yet another nickname. Though she was always quick to give others nicknames, in the end, she was the one who ended up with the most.

As for Adelinde’s invitation, it was partly to express gratitude but also to ask for another favor.

It’s worth noting that despite Dawn Winery being a winery, the Traveler and Fischl were served tea—because they both looked unmistakably underage.

[Fischl responded to Adelinde’s thanks with: ”Thou art granted permission to bask in the radiance of the Prinzessin’s grace! Rejoice, for my brilliance shall forever illuminate Springvale!”]

[Paimon quickly interjected: ”Oz, hold off on translating! Let me guess... Hmm... She means, ’You’re welcome’!”]

[Oz: ”Truly, Miss Paimon is most perceptive, to have so swiftly deciphered my lady’s manner of speech.”]

The readers fell silent. Could this really be called ”perceptive”? It wasn’t like Paimon had actually translated it into plain speech.

And Oz outright admitted it was just Fischl’s style! So she really was just spouting things that sounded like novel settings, huh?

And here they’d genuinely believed the ”Prinzessin der Verurteilung” possessed some hidden power.

Fischl, while reading this, didn’t even notice Oz’s slip-up. She was too busy worrying about what came next, unaware that the scene had already ended.

But it didn’t matter, because the people who humored her the most wouldn’t care about such things.

Bennett was easy to fool—he wouldn’t see through it.

Mona already knew the truth and simply chose to play along.

Returning to the story, Adelinde explained her request to the Traveler:

Two workers had been sent to Liyue to transport goods but had yet to return. She feared something had happened, but Dawn Winery was short-handed, so she could only entrust the investigation to the Traveler.

The Traveler accepted the request and headed to Liyue, quickly finding the first worker and obtaining information about the second.

The unlucky second worker had his cart crushed by a meteorite—if his luck had been any worse, he might’ve been sent straight to the afterlife.

When the Traveler and Fischl found the second worker, he was lying on the ground, unresponsive—whether he’d already crossed over was unclear.

[Paimon: ”Is this person on the ground... asleep?”]

[A soft-spoken passerby in a round hat replied: ”I’m afraid so. I’ve tried many methods, but none could wake him.”]

The round-hatted passerby mentioned he’d already used magic to clear the stones from the cart, so there was no need to worry.

[???:”I am a wanderer from Inazuma. I was in the midst of aiding this gentleman when you arrived.”]

The Traveler introduced themselves, and the ever-talkative Paimon proudly boasted about being the Honorary Knight’s best friend, casually revealing Lumine’s status as Mondstadt’s Honorary Knight.

[Fischl: ”The Prinzessin has taken the field! Rejoice, for the thunder of fate’s judgment shall purge these seeds of calamitous dreams!”]

[???:”Uh... huh...?”]

The round-hatted wanderer was so baffled by Fischl’s words that he was rendered speechless.

Truly, few could leave Scaramouche at a loss for words.

At that moment, a patrolling Millelith approached, asking if the group needed assistance.

[???:”Since the Millelith are here, my presence is no longer required.”]

[”It was a pleasure meeting you. I have matters to attend to, so I shall take my leave.”]

[”May fortune favor you, adventurers.”]

Readers remarked: He’s so polite and gentle! Speaking of which, Kazuha’s the same—are all Inazuman wanderers this well-mannered?

And this guy seems kinda short too. I wonder if he has an Anemo Vision? Lucian didn’t write that part.

In the story, the Millelith took the unconscious worker to a temporary shelter—a ”medical tent” similar to the one in Springvale.

The Traveler and the others, concerned about the situation, followed. Upon seeing the scene, Fischl couldn’t help but exclaim dramatically:

[Fischl: ”The frigid curse has spread even here... O sky, why dost thou rage so?!”]

[Paimon: ”Ack! Don’t shout weird stuff in crowded places!”]

Even Paimon couldn’t handle the secondhand embarrassment!

Reading this part, Fischl immediately struck a pose. ”Tch... ’Tis only natural that mortals fail to comprehend my divine proclamations.”

Truthfully, she was a little embarrassed too. While she had no issues when fully immersed in her own world, this was private reading time—she hadn’t yet gotten into character before being hit with this scene, leaving her slightly flustered.

So what did she do? She immediately shifted gears:

”Reality, shatter! Consciousness, break! This world—be exiled!”
