Exiting immersive mode...

[After the memorial was over, Bosacius put away Menogias magical weapon and approached you and Boyang.]

["Let me introduce myself again. My name is Bosacius. Tianquan Zhongli asked me to come to Wangshu Inn to find you. When I arrived, I heard from a little girl that you had already gone to Wuwang Hill, so I rushed here immediately."]

[After hearing Bosacius's introduction, you were shocked. It turned out that the right-hand man mentioned in Zhongli's letter was actually an immortal... and such an important one, which showed how much Zhongli valued the intelligence organization.]

[On the way back to Wangshu Inn, you learned why Bosacius had retreated from the front lines. It was because the karma he absorbed had reached its limit. If he had stayed on the battlefield any longer, he might have suffered severe mental issues, possibly even going completely mad.]

["Originally, I planned to retire like this. I even sealed all my treasures in a hidden place, waiting for the right person in the future to find them. But when I said goodbye to Tianquan Zhongli, she persuaded me to stay here to protect you two. After thinking about it, I realized it's better to use my remaining energy before retiring. With Liyue facing a monster invasion, retiring now would be irresponsible..."]

[Since the battle was over, Bosacius removed his mask. His expression remained calm as he spoke. Although the matter at hand was critical, he treated it as though it were trivial.]

The people of Liyue are always well protected by the bravest among them.

After witnessing Bosacius's actions in the simulation, Kujo Tsumugi couldn't help but reflect on this sentiment, feeling a pang of sadness.

Once, there was a group in Inazuma dedicated to protecting its people. Sadly, most are now gone, leaving behind only an aloof Thunder God and a seemingly useless fox.

[After a few days, the three of you managed to eliminate most of the ghosts in Wuwang Slope. The remaining ghosts posed no significant threat. Thus, Boyang's friend's request was successfully completed, and Boyang officially joined your intelligence organization.]

"Finally succeeded. It took so long just to recruit one person. Will I spend the rest of my life in this simulation setting up this intelligence organization?"

[After resolving the Wuwang Hill incident, the three of you returned to Wangshu Inn. After a few days of rest, Boyang expressed his desire to temporarily part ways with you and return to Liyue Harbor. He wanted to tell his friend's grave that the incident was resolved. Although you planned to accompany Boyang back to Liyue Harbor, he declined, stating that one of you had to stay in Wangshu Inn to develop the intelligence organization. In the end, Boyang asked Bosacius to be his bodyguard and returned to Liyue Harbor with him.]

[After Boyang and Bosacius left, the only familiar face at Wangshu Inn was the girl who had been with you day and night. Despite never officially joining the intelligence organization, she considered herself a part of it.]

[The girl had been staying at Wangshu Inn for over a year. Due to her outstanding appearance and pleasant personality, she had gained high regard. With her help, recruiting intelligence personnel at Wangshu Inn became much easier. Over time, her persistent persuasion led you to eventually accept her into the organization.]

[19 years old: Before you knew it, you had been in Liyue for a year. The intelligence organization was progressing well, and Wangshu Inn had become its largest base.]

[During this year, you found yourself increasingly drawn to the girl's charm, losing your resistance. Despite knowing that this was a betrayal to Rosalyne, you couldn't deceive yourself; you did like the girl. Of course, you still had feelings for Rosalyne. Both the girl and Rosalyne were significant to you.]

[A year ago, Boyang and Bosacius returned to Liyue Harbor together and never came back. It wasn't because something happened to them, but because Liyue Harbor faced a crisis.]

[A massive influx of monsters emerged from the Layered Rock Abyss to the west of Liyue Harbor. Unprepared for this, Liyue Harbor suffered severe losses. If Boyang and Bosacius hadn't returned to help, Liyue Harbor might have been lost.]

[However, with the battle in the north being intense, there were no troops available to defend Liyue Harbor, so Boyang and Bosacius could only lead a small contingent of Qianyan troops to fend off the monster tide and couldn't join you at Wangshu Inn.]

[Despite this, they managed to recruit many brave millelith soldiers into the intelligence organization, so their contributions were not insignificant.]

[You also began assigning more responsibilities to the girl, not out of laziness, but because you planned to return to Mondstadt when Rosalyne came back next year. Depending on Rosalyne's response, you might even consider leaving the intelligence organization.]

[The girl seemed to sense your unease but said nothing, quietly taking on your tasks.]

[20 years old: This year, your intelligence organization was officially on track. The intelligence network in Liyue was completed, and it was time to expand to other countries.]

[At the same time, there was significant progress in the battle against the monster tide. The northern front had reached Wangshu Inn, and Boyang and Bosacius had trapped the monster tide in the Layered Rock Abyss. They planned to lead an elite team to investigate the source of the monster tide.]

[It was clear that the complete eradication of the monster tide was only a matter of time.]

[As Liyue looked forward to the retreat of the battle line, you packed your bags and prepared to return to Mondstadt.]

[You had two reasons for returning to Mondstadt: one was to reunite with Rosalyne, and the other was to assist Tianquan Zhongli in collaborating with the Knights of Favonius to eliminate monsters on the border between Liyue and Mondstadt. You were tasked with being a liaison.]

[However, the border was unstable, with wandering monsters, treasure-stealing groups, and a mysterious entity known as "The Blazing Witch." This being, whether monster or human, was said to engulf everything in flames wherever she went. She was extremely powerful.]

[Despite the dangers, you decided to return to Mondstadt. On a sunny morning, you set out for your journey with a heartfelt farewell from the girl.]
