Our group arrived at Liyue Harbor after awhile. It was quite a short trip, since after we searched for Kirby and his friends (besides Bandana), we were close to there. And there's some stuff and people there I wanted to meet, too, so it was convenient.

"Here we are: Liyue Harbor!" Paimon said. "There's a lot of places to visit, including the restaurants...the yummy food there, too..." "All about food, eh, Paimon?" Aether asked teasingly, even though he already knew the answer since. "Hey, Paimon's just saying!" She said a little angrily.

"If there's a restaurant to suggest, then we can go there. Kirby likes any food that's delicious, anyways," I said. "Is that so? Then I want to taste some food there as well," Myllia said, her words a little bit muffled. You see, she was in a coat that I (somehow) had with me, since she's an Abyss Mage and that an Abyss Mage, or anyone from the Abyss, isn't allowed in Liyue Harbor 'cause of 'baddie-baddie stuff'. Puffballs, penguins and other weird creatures that are passive are allowed, of course.

"Which restaurants do you suggest, mister Aether and miss Paimon?" Meta asked with his arms (or I guess hands) crossed. "Hmm..." Paimon thought for awhile, before deciding. "How about Wanmin Restaurant?"

"That sounds yummy," I commented, still in my 'pretending to be confused' mode. Though I'm guaranteed to be the 'Universal Traveller' and stuff, most of the things that weren't from 500 years ago were now available, like Wanmin Restaurant. So...a lot more 'acting' would be ensued.

"Wanmin Restaurant it is!" Dedede declared. "I hope that the food there would be tasty enough for a king to say that it's delicious!" "You can eat anything that's just delicious, though," I said with a little giggle. "Even with normal food, you would easily rate it 5 stars."

"Well, let's go then," Aether said. "You know, it's already in the afternoon. And besides, I'm quite hungry myself." "Poyo!" Kirby said with seemingly agressive nodding and bouncing with joy. Of course he's gonna be happy.

Since where we arrived was around the top of Liyue Harbor, if you know how the map looks like in-game, we had to take the long way to Wanmin Restaurant. Many people were staring at Kirby, Bandana, Dedede and Meta, whispering in the crowd about those 'weird' creatures. They didn't dare to somewhat ask us about them, though, as they looked terrified as we walked through. I noticed that both Dedede and Meta were staring the others menacingly, thinking that one of them was gonna attack out of nowhere, so I guess that worked out.

When we arrived at the restaurant, the person who worked there, Chef Mao, was surprised about the number of memebers we had in our group. Let's just count how many for a sec. Aether, Paimon, me, Myllia (I didn't forget her), Kirby, Bandana, Dedede, Meta...just 8 members. Huh, that sounded much less. Anyways, back to the story-

Chef Mao noticed us, and said, "Hey, it's good to meet 'cya again! And it seems like we have more friends as customers here!" "Yeah, we have quite a lot..." Paimon said, agreeing with him. "There's a lot of introducing to do here, though..."

"Oh, no need!" Chef Mao said. "I just need names, that's all!" "Is that so? Well..." I said, starting to introduce the Kirby gang and myself. "My name is Kathlyne, nice to meet you. And this pink one here is Kirby, a puffball not from this world. How it got here, I'm not sure. The others here, Bandana, Dedede and Meta, are also not from here as well."

"Really? That's quite interesting!" He commented about the fact that the Kirby gang isn't from Teyvat or even anywhere in the Genshin world. "Well... now the names are said, what orders do you want?"

We got our orders each, Kirby having 2 instead of 1 because of his big stomach and that he was very hungry. The price was quite high, considering that we got 10 dishes (one of them for Myllia who was still hiding in my coat). Where we ate? Somewhere that Aether and Paimon would usually go to for meals. An interesting area to eat in, but it was better than eating in a crowd with people not from Teyvat.

Where did we eat? In a teapot. Is it the Serenity Pot? Yep. How many chairs and tables were there? A lot more than my fingers. Why so? I dunno, I didn't ask Aether nor Paimon anything about it, since I was hungry.

Everyone enjoyed their meals, even though Bandana's eating way was a lil' complicating. Where else did we go after that? Well...we met someone along the way. After we went out of the pot (around Wanmin Restaurant), we saw a certain guy listening to a story, drinking tea. It was night at that time, by the way, so the person looked way more good because his body reflected the little lights.

"Who's that, mister Aether?" Meta asked, pointing at the guy. "Oh, that's Zhongli!" Paimon said. "He's a very knowledgable guy, and he knows combat very well!" "Zhongli..." I repeated the name. "That sounds a little familiar...eh, maybe just a thought."

"Let's greet him, shall we?" Dedede said. "Poyo!" Kirby said with a nod of agreement. We then went to where Zhongli was, and we sat on some of the chairs. I just wanted to stand, amd Kirby wanted someone to carry him, so I volunteered. Meta didn't want to sit down as well.

We overheard part of the story, and it mentioned this part:

She used her polearm and sliced the dragon's heart in half. However, the dragon wasn't dead yet. She saw that it was whimpering in pain, but instead of doing the final blow, she purified that dragon. Now, that dragon will help the citizens in need in its world, while the legendary Universal Traveller travels back into her world.

It seemed like I, or she, went into other worlds that weren't likely my likings. Lucky her that she could do those things while I was just getting memory loss on the way back.

"An interesting story..." Zhongli said to himself. He seemed like he didn't noticed us until when Paimon greeted him with, "Good evening, Zhongli! We have some friends to introduce you to!"

"Oh?" He then looked to see the 7 of us, Myllia still hiding. "It seems so. Well then, it's a pleasure meeting you all." "It's a pleasure meeting you as well, mister Zhongli," Meta said, bowing down to him. "Oh, no need to bow," Zhongli said. Meta then went back up from his knees, saying, "Me and my friends are not from this world of yours, and since our friends from here told us that you were quite a knowledgable one, is it possible for you to know if we could get back into our own world?"

He thought about that question for awhile, before replying, "There's a possibility of returning, however, it's quite a risk to make..." He then stood up from his chair, then said, "If you and your friends arrived here without warning, then it's possible that one of your enemies brought you here, along with another from our own world. The solution is that to fight the enemy not from here, and you're good to go."

"Really?" I said. I really hope for them to go back into their own world, but for me...as the Universal Traveller, it could be that I have to do something to go back into my world, but...because of my memory loss, I've forgotten about...basically everything about going into the Genshin world in the first place.

"Indeed, but as I said, it's a risk," he said. "It's because of a little addition in the enemy's power, due to their arrival here. For example, it would be from a hundred to ten thousand attack. See the big difference? So I tell those who wishes to go back home: good luck in your fight, as one death here is permanent."

One death...none of them had actually died once before, even with all the demon stuff going on in their own world. I was sure that because of their powerful friendship, they would go back...but let me tell ya for a little spoiler, things got out of hand, and someone...well, something bad happened to one of the members in our group.

"So...that means it's either they go back or they die?" Paimon asked, a little sad about the answer Zhongli said. "Three options, actually. One is going back, another is death and the last is staying here forever," he explained.

"Poyo..." Kirby said, looking upset from what he just said. He didn't want to stay here forever, since his own world, Planet Popstar...it couldn't be the same without the one and only Star Warrior Kirby! But, stuff happens everyday, sometimes bad stuff. Bandana and Dedede were upset with Zhongli's answer, too, with Meta thinking about his response.

Aether and Paimon were quite upset as well, knowing the possibility of not going back to their own world being probably one of the worst to happen. "I know it sounds quite hard to bear, but it is true," Zhongli said. "Though, with what I think of how much power all of you hold, based on guess, I think that the possibility of those who are not from here to return back home safely is quite high. I just hope that you all know what to do."

"You hear that, guys? There's a chance of Kirby, Bandana, Dedede and Meta to go back home! I'm sure that we can do it, no matter what!" I said, attempting to give the others some hope. But really, I was worried that they wouldn't go back. But since this lil' story was created after that incident, I can tell you that they are in their world safely. You readers just have to wait and see how it happened, though.

"Kathlyne's right!" Paimon said. "We can't give up just yet! Besides, we still have a lot to do before the final showdown!" "I agree with Paimon here!" Dedede said with a smile in his face. "I'm sure that if we don't give up, we can do it!"

"If so, then we must prepare," Meta said. "But, since it's not really an urgent situation, I suppose doing some extras along the way. Just remember about this situation before going to the next part, though."

"Yes, there are still many to do before going," Zhongli said, agreeing. "Going back home isn't something a person would do immediately after arriving in an area where that person isn't suppose to be, unless it's actually urgent. I suggest to calm down for a bit and explore, before going back to that situation."

"Zhongli's right," I said. "We are here in Liyue Harbor to explore around and meet other people, right? If so, then let's do that, first! Besides, it's been 500 years since I've been here, right? And with all of the memory loss incident, too. So of course we have to explore around first!"

"500 years since?" Zhongli said in a bit of confusion. "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you...I'm Kathlyne, the Universal Traveller a lot of people knew before. Because of my memory loss, though, I basically have forgotten everything, mostly, so I have to recover those memories. That's partly why we're actually here, too. But since I already know my identity here in Teyvat, I might as well meet the Archons of Teyvat once again to relieve my memories."

*The Universal Traveller?* Meta said in his mind. *In our world, we call her 'Miss Traveller of Worlds'. I guess in other places, people would call her by a different title, yet still the same.*

The man who was telling a story before overheard the conversation, saying, "The Universal Traveller? Is that you?!" "Um..." I didn't know that our chit-chat would've been quite loud for other people to hear. And since that man told that sentence in a loud voice as well, a crowd suddenly formed around us.

Many murmurings were created. 'Is it her?' 'Could it be?' 'She's alive all this time?' And there's also mutterings about the Kirby gang, too. 'What is that creature?' 'That's not from Teyvat!' 'Could it be a pontential threat?' 'The pink one is so cute!' Welp, the last one seemed to be from a child. So many more to list down, but really, I'm that lazy.

"Uh oh..." Paimon said. "Paimon thinks we have to go away...there's so many people here!" "I think so..." Aether said, agreeing. "C'mon, let's get out of here, before we get swallowed by a crowd!"

More people came to us every second. How many once-un-intereacted-NPCs were there in the first place?! We had a little trouble getting away from the crowd, especially Kirby, Bandana and Meta being a small bean. Paimon was a little struggling, too, but she held on. Myllia was just chillin' in my coat, sleeping out of the bit-of-chaos going on.

After awhile, though, we went out of sight of the big crowd, being somewhere around where you usually go to get to Inazuma for the first time. I didn't wanna go, though. That would be a shame. Zhongli decided to part from us for the meantime, and since it was dark, no one was around us anymore.

I brought Myllia out of my coat to let her get fresh air, since there was nobody around. "That place was comfy," Myllia said. "Though, I heard of chatterings, so I guess you humans and creatures went through a crowd?" We nodded in union. "So many people indeed..." Dedede said. "However, with that 'Universal Traveller' thing, is that your title here, Kathlyne?"

"I guess so," I said. "In your world, it's a different title, right?" "If I remember correctly, it was 'Miss Traveller of Worlds'," Meta said. Bandana nodded, and Kirby agreed with a 'Poyo!'. "With all that said, though..." I started to speak. "Where should we go next?"

"There's a bookstore around the city over there," Paimon said. "Though, Paimon's not sure if we could go there without making a crowd..." "How about that teapot you have?" Myllia suggested. "There's rooms with beds, right? How about we use those for tonight, and then move one in the morning?"

"I think that's ok," Aether said. "There's many vacant rooms in the Serenity Pot, so those can be used as our stay-in area for tonight." "If so, then let's go there," Dedede said. "After all, my energy had been drained out from all of that running away!"

And so we went into the pot, went into the vacant rooms, and rested there for the next day. When we woke up, we met some people along the next day.

What kind of people? Well, that's for next part!

(Extra)

Kathlyne: "Oo, I wonder who we'll meet soon...I can't wait!"

Me: "Well, what I can tell you right now is that since we're going to a bookstore, it's possible of meeting that dude. And near there, we could meet them as well."

Kathlyne: "Is that so? Then let's get some energy and move on!"

Kathlyne: "But for an extra question, when will you, ya know, 'click-click', with Zhongli?"

Me: "Oh, that? Eh, later."

Kathlyne: "Don't forget, though. I wanna take a picture with him and with everyone else soon!"

Me: "Yeah, yeah...oh freek I forgot about Zhongli's stats checking-"

(I feel anxious whenever I get a viewer, because that viewer would have many opinions on my story, and, i'm not an author. Still, if all of you readers are enjoying my stories so far, I'm glad about so. Though I'm not an expert of an author, I hope I can make a story good enough for people to enjoy. Not in a serious way, though. I just wanna make stories. Anyways, back into my weird mode, bai-bai, peeps, and I'll see ya next part)
