[Genshin Impact] Wait, My Imaginary Friend Is Real!

Originally titled My Imaginary Friend and Me Posting as I write. I’ll try to post the rest next time, all the way to the ending. Thanks to the lovely Chen Xiao for drawing the bird. It’s so adorable, it went straight to my heart! (Overwhelmed and grateful, sending a heart) I’ve put it on the cover so everyone can admire it, haha. Blurb 1: “That’s right.” The youngest Harbinger of Snezhnaya and the bard of Mondstadt looked at each other and said in unison, “We have a friend.” The Darknight Hero: “…Me too.” A certain nameless boy: “…Me too.” … The list of friends keeps growing. Mini-scene: One day, Paimon saw a picture card. Its subject was a young woman with black hair and eyes, wearing a hat and two short pigtails. She held a trophy with an inscription: Teyvat’s XXth Most Popular Bard. Paimon: *eyes widen in shock* “Venti! Bird stole your title!” Venti, the bard who never gets anything done: “Ehe~” Blurb 2: Ever since I was very young, I dreamed of another world every night. A towering keep, a wall of wind: a city-state surrounded by fierce gales. There, I met my imaginary friend. He was a poet, with blue-black hair and blue-gray eyes. He wore two neat, fashionable pigtails, and was great at playing the lyre and singing. Born in a land surrounded by fierce gales, he longed to see the world beyond the towering keep. On my fifteenth birthday, I entered that world as usual, planning to complain to him about the dull life of someone about to start high school. But he was pierced through the heart by an arrow and died in front of me. I never dreamed of him again, and the world in my dreams disappeared with him. Three years later, I followed the usual path and got into university. “Girl! You have to see this new PV!” My roommate held her phone up in front of me. Countless images flashed across the screen, and the one that caught my eye was a boy in a green cape, plucking a lyre. The Genshin Impact logo appeared, and the screen went dark. “Aaaaaah!! When is the game coming out? Aaaaaah!!!!” … I could no longer hear my roommate shrieking. My dead memories were attacking me all over again. Thinking of the boy with the lyre and green cape, I picked up my phone and signed up for the game’s release on its official website. That night, I “dreamed” of that world again. But the one I met wasn’t my imaginary friend. Instead, I froze like an idiot with an orange-haired runaway in the icy snowfields of Snezhnaya :) … Then the game was released. The moment I saw all those familiar faces on the screen, my eyes flew wide open! So my imaginary friend really existed?!!! *Eyes widen in shock* Theme: Parting isn’t the end. Every moment spent together is precious
