Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

Mona activated her water element, and the water mirror spun continuously in front of her chest. As the water mirror rotated, the expression on Mona's face changed from caution to surprise and then to shame and indignation.

"Haha, nice to meet you, Astoluggis Mona Megistus. I am Second Stele Half Price, and my real name is Su Bai."

"I always thought you would be a woman in her thirties, but I didn't expect you to be so young. Wow, that's really beyond my expectations."

"Second drink half price? What a strange name. Is there some deeper meaning behind it?"

Paimon made a sarcastic remark, and Su Bai waved at Mona with a grin. Even if Mona was stupid, she would realize that she had been tricked. Moreover, she was not stupid. Thinking that Su Bai knew that she had fainted from hunger, Mona blushed and conjured a water ball, which she then threw at Su Bai's face to wash his face.

"You dare to tease me in your letter? It's one thing, but to tease me on our first meeting? Aren't you afraid this astrologer will teach you a lesson?"

The first meeting between pen pals should have been filled with awkwardness and restraint, but Mona didn't feel any distance at all, as if the two had known each other for many years.

Fate is truly a magical force. Who would have thought that after unintentionally picking and replying to one of the many letters received, two completely unrelated people would meet in this way?

"Wait a minute, if Mona was able to predict that Su Bai was her pen pal, then wouldn't Mona's prediction that a major disaster would occur in Liyue Harbor also be true?"

Ying, who hadn't yet been assimilated by Paimon, keenly noticed a blind spot. Su Bai, who had been laughing and joking with Mona, immediately stopped laughing. He looked at Mona with a slightly serious expression, and Mona nodded.

“I’ve consulted the oracle about this matter many times, and each time it’s the same result. That’s why I’m so anxious to come to Liyue Harbor to find you. Moreover, the astrology also indicates that many people will die or be injured in this disaster in Liyue Harbor.”

"Huh? Doesn't that mean Liyue Harbor is very dangerous? Ying, why don't we wait until the catastrophe happens before we go? I don't think we need to rush."

Ying didn't speak but turned her gaze to Su Bai, whose expression was uncertain. He knew about astrology and knew that Mona was quite knowledgeable in the field.

Since Mona predicted a major catastrophe in Liyue Harbor through astrology, the probability of such a catastrophe is extremely high. However, he couldn't understand what kind of catastrophe would happen in Liyue, which has the Geo Archon and many immortals.

Even if other countries declare war on Liyue, Liyue Harbor, as the most important place in Liyue, is unlikely to experience any accidents unless most of Liyue's territory is occupied by other countries.

“My pen pal, why don’t you come to Mondstadt with me? We can go to Liyue Harbor together after the problem is resolved.”

“It just so happens that one of my master’s friends lives in Mondstadt, and I need to go there to retrieve something.”

(Surprise check! What is Mona's full name?! I asked several friends who play Genshin Impact and none of them could answer. One of them even misspelled the word Mona ==)

Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Successors of Great Learning

Mona noticed that her pen pal remained silent, and she was worried that her pen pal might act rashly and risk her life for Liyue Harbor. She didn't want to lose such a good friend.

Unfortunately, as a celestial being, Su Bai could not leave Liyue knowing that it was in trouble. What he needed to do now was not only to stay in Liyue, but more importantly, to greet several celestial beings and prepare for battle.

"You...you don't mean you want to stay in Liyue and fight against that disaster, do you?"

"Listen to me, come with me to Mondstadt."

Seeing the determination in Su Bai's eyes, Mona could hardly believe her eyes. Seeking advantage and avoiding harm has always been a survival principle for people, but this was the first time Mona had encountered someone like Su Bai who knowingly walked into danger.

"I'm sorry, Mona, I can't go to Mondstadt with you."

"As a celestial being, I have signed a contract with the Emperor to protect Liyue. Even without the contract, as a Liyue resident, I would never desert my post."

"But I still want to thank you for coming all the way from so far away to tell me this. When the great calamity is over, come to Liyue again, and I will definitely treat you well."

Su Bai refused Mona without hesitation, and at the same time he looked at Klee beside him, worried that the disaster might affect Klee.

"Don't worry, Brother Su Bai, Ke Li won't cause any trouble."

When Klee saw Su Bai looking at her, she immediately made a promise that she would definitely behave. Su Bai thought about it and decided not to send Klee back to Mondstadt. At worst, he could send Klee to Lord Liuyun when the disaster occurred. Besides, this was just the result of Mona's divination, and the real disaster might not happen.

"Su Bai, don't worry, we're here. Even if something really happens, we'll help you."

Ying was full of distrust of so-called astrology. She had encountered some astrologers in other worlds, who always liked to exaggerate minor troubles into major storms. Moreover, those astrologers always made excuses for not being able to see through her fate, so she did not take Mona's talk of a great disaster to heart at all.

"Moreover, major disasters are not necessarily man-made; they could also be natural disasters."

“Didn’t you tell me that Liyue Harbor is a port city? What if the disaster Mona mentioned is a typhoon? If a typhoon comes, there will definitely be many casualties.”

Ying's words put Su Bai at ease. What she said made sense. As a port city, Liyue Harbor would definitely be greatly affected if it were hit by a typhoon. It seemed that he was too nervous.

Mona was also embarrassed at this moment. She had not considered this factor at all, and now that Ying had brought it up, she realized that her thinking had been too one-sided.

"Forget about all that. Let my future self worry about the future. I'll just mention it to Ningguang when I get back to Liyue Harbor."

Su Bai let out a long sigh. He really couldn't think of anything other than natural disasters like typhoons that could hit Liyue Harbor. It seemed he had been a little too nervous this time.

"By the way, Mona, would you like to come with us to the Wangshu Inn up ahead for something to eat? It's on me."

"Huh? Well, as an astrologer, I'll do a divination."

Mona adjusted the water mirror on her chest and began to carefully examine the stars. What she saw was astonishing: the stars revealed that the heir to the great knowledge who should have been in Mondstadt was actually right beside her?!

Mona glanced at Su Bai. It was obvious that this guy who only argued with her about strange questions couldn't possibly know anything about astrology. She then looked at Ying and Paimon. These two guys, who didn't belong to 'this world,' couldn't possibly be the inheritors of great knowledge. So, after eliminating them all, could the inheritor of great knowledge be this cute little girl?

For a moment, Mona felt her worldview crumbling. This little girl didn't seem like someone with great knowledge at all, and the notebook that fell out of the little girl's bag wasn't a notebook containing knowledge at all; it was just a record of a girl's embarrassing moments.

"What's wrong, Mona? Why does your face look so strange?"

"First, don't talk to me yet. There's something I want to verify."

谷浃

So, to everyone's bewildered gaze, Mona walked up to Klee, tossed her ponytail back, and her face radiated pride and self-satisfaction.

"I am the astrologer who has seen through the secrets of the starry sea. I did not expect that you, the inheritor of this great knowledge, would recognize me so quickly."

"Starry Sea, what is Starry Sea? Are there fish in Starry Sea?"

"Xin Hai? When did Mona get involved with Xin Hai? That guy's scheming is only slightly worse than Shen Zi's."

Mona's eye twitched. How could these two be talking so outrageously? And who was Xin Hai? It was the first time she had ever heard that name.

"It's 'Starry Sea,' a synonym for the starry sky! You two better be serious."

"Heir to great knowledge, are you afraid of my challenge?"

"What are you saying, sister? Klee doesn't understand at all."

Klee tilted her head and looked at Momona. Her innocent eyes gave Momona the illusion that she had mistaken someone for someone else, but her water divination had never been wrong. This little girl named Klee must be the person she was looking for.

"Although I know you're the person I'm looking for, just in case, I'll ask anyway. Klee, your mother's name is Alice, right?"

"Yes, yes, is your sister a friend of Mom's? But Mom went to a very far place, and Klee can't find her either."

"I know that, but she should have taught you all the mystical knowledge before she left, right?"

Mysticism? A huge question mark filled Klee's little head. This was the first time she'd ever heard this term. Could it be another kind of bouncing bomb?

"Mysticism? Klee doesn't know anything about it. Mom only taught Klee how to make bouncy bombs and even more powerful bouncy bombs."

"What? That's impossible. As Alice's daughter, Klee should know at least some knowledge of the mystical arts, since Alice is an all-rounder in the field of mysticism."

"Um, Mona, you might be overestimating children's intelligence."

"Even if Cleopatra's mother had taught Cleopatra about mysticism, Cleopatra wouldn't have been able to understand it."

Paimon pointed to Claire's height, which only reached Mona's waist. Mona then realized that it made sense. Claire was so young that she wouldn't understand even if she were told. How was she supposed to get the box that the old woman had asked for?

"Little Claire, did your mother give you a box before she left?"

"Yes, Klee also used the box to store some materials for making bouncy bombs. Do you want that box, big sister?"

Klee took a box out of her bag and handed it to Mona. Mona saw that the box contained dangerous alchemical materials, so she quickly waved her hand.

"No, no, no, I just want what was originally inside, not the box."

"Hey? What's inside? Isn't that the notebook you're holding, sister? Don't you know it?"

What?! Klee's words were like a bolt from the blue, almost making Mona split in two. No wonder the old woman told her she would be dead if she dared to look through the contents; it turned out that the contents contained embarrassing stories from the old woman's youth. Oh no, she was doomed. If the old woman found out about this, she would definitely not let her off the hook.

(I wonder when Klee will be re-released. I've been saving up Primogems on my alt account for two months, just waiting for her re-release.)

Chapter 100 Mona's Whereabouts

"Su Bai, is Mona really alright in this condition?"

Paimon looked at Mona with some concern. Along the way, she seemed to always see white souls floating out of Mona's slightly open mouth. Even now that they had arrived at Wangshu Inn, Mona was still in this life-or-death state.

"Hmm~ the problem might indeed be a bit big. When I ordered a table full of meat dishes just now, Mona didn't react excitedly at all, which is indeed a bit abnormal."

Su Bai stroked his chin. Ever since Mona learned that the notebook was what he was looking for, she would occasionally blurt out things like "I'm doomed" or "The old woman will kill me, she definitely will." This left everyone completely confused, but seeing Mona's state, none of them chose to ask her for details.

"Could it be that Mona is too poor and doesn't have the money for the trip home?"

While distributing chopsticks to everyone, Ying made some guesses. Seeing that Paimon's little hands couldn't hold such big chopsticks, Su Bai specially asked Phil Goddette, the owner of Wangshu Inn, for a pair of children's chopsticks for Paimon.

"Go home? Yes! As long as I don't go back, that old woman can't do anything to me! Ying, thank you."

Ying's unintentional guess gave Mona a very good suggestion: as long as she doesn't go back, the old woman can't do anything to her, and then she doesn't have to worry about the old woman 'poisoning' her.

But if she didn't go back, where could she go? At first, she thought of taking Su Bai to Mondstadt, because Mondstadt was affected by the Stormterror a few days ago, so the rent for houses would definitely be very cheap, and she could also keep the fifty-year promise between the old woman and Senior Iris.

As a result, Su Bai doesn't want to leave Liyue. Klee, the protagonist of the fifty-year pact, doesn't understand anything, and she's worried about leaving her pen pal alone in Liyue. What if she encounters some danger? Su Bai doesn't have the ability to move between reality and illusion to escape underground like her.

Mona irritably ran her fingers through her hair. All of this ultimately came down to her being poor and not having Mora. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have bought the latest astrological equipment. That astrological equipment was just a waste of money left with the old woman.

"Ugh, why is there never enough Mora?"

Seeing Mona suddenly become irritable, Ying seemed to see her own reflection in Mona. There was a time when she was also irritable because of Mora. As for now, she has completely adapted to life without Mora. After all, there are free raspberries and apples in the wild that can be eaten, and there is no problem sleeping in a wild Hilichurl camp after cleaning it up.

Su Bai thought of how Mona had traveled a long way to Liyue to find him because she was worried about his safety, and how she had even fainted from hunger on the way. He felt that he needed to find Mona a job.

"Hey Mona, if you don't have a place to stay, I can find you a job with room and board and a decent salary."

"This job has plenty of free time every day, and you might not even be busy more than a few times a month. The only problem is that I'm afraid you won't be able to accept the location of this job."

"Really, pen pal? Work location doesn't matter, as long as it's not about fighting Water Spirits and includes food and lodging, I'm fine with anything." (The first time I went to fight Water Spirits, I spent ages shooting at them with Amber... I had to check a guide to find out I had to fight the regular monsters first...)

(And that Pure Water Sprite pendant—if I hadn't been quick-witted and checked what Pure Water Sprites could drop, I almost would have believed that there was a chance to get this pendant by defeating Pure Water Sprites.)

Mona was so excited that she stood up from her seat. A job with room and board and a decent salary! This not only solved her immediate problem, but more importantly, it allowed her to stay in Liyue.

"Calm down, calm down. Let me tell you what your workplace, Wangshengtang, does first, then you can get excited."

Su Bai guiltily gestured for Mona to calm down. He worried that Mona might be angry with him if she found out what the Hall of Rebirth was. Mona, his pen pal, was quite to his liking and someone he could get to know better.

谷彜

"The Hall of Rebirth has existed since the founding of Liyue, and it has now been passed down to the 77th generation. I don't know what the Hall of Rebirth did in the past, but the current Hall of Rebirth specializes in the funeral business."

“If Mona, you are not afraid, I believe that Master Hu of our Rebirth Hall will definitely not treat you unfairly.”

Mona was initially reluctant when she heard the word "funeral," but judging from Su Bai's words, it seemed that he also worked at the Hall of Rebirth. In addition, Su Bai promised that he would not mistreat her, so Mona gritted her teeth and agreed. It was just dealing with dead people, after all. As an astrologer, she had seen dead people before.

"No problem, thank you. I'm not the kind of little girl who screams when she sees a corpse."
