"Captain Jean, can Klee hug Jams, please?"
"No, you're too small."
"Sister, can I do it instead? I..."
"No, what if we wake up Jams?"
"Hmph, understood, Captain Jean!"
Barbara looked at Jams, who was being protected by Captain Jean in her arms, feeling a sourness in her heart. It seemed like her sisterhood with Jean was about to rupture again!
...
Noelle stood awkwardly beside them.
Her dream was to become a knight, and Captain Jean was the perfect knight in her eyes. Being in the presence of her idol made Noelle nervous, but she also worried that Jams wouldn't want to leave.
Amber, the reconnaissance knight, was still full of energy. She introduced Lumine and Paimon, the two new companions, to Jean.
"Captain Jean, Lumine and Paimon stepped forward at a critical moment and saved many residents of Mondstadt during the dragon calamity."
Amber affectionately put her arm around Lumine's shoulder and proudly said, "And Lumine has incredibly strong abilities!"
"Yes, Miss Lumine, on behalf of the Knights of Favonius, I thank you for your help," Jean said, her purple eyes looking gently at Lumine. "Without you, the dragon calamity might not have ended so easily."
"No need to mention it, I just did what I could," Lumine shook her head.
"And me! Don't forget about Paimon's contributions!"
Paimon circled around Lumine, hands crossed, with a haughty expression as if saying, "Praise me, praise me!"
"Chirp~"
Jean was amused by Paimon's cute appearance and smiled, nodding. "Thank you, Paimon. You did well too."
"Hehe, just average. Paimon thinks the biggest hero is still Jams."
Paimon floated over to Jams and said sympathetically, "Jams' house was destroyed by Stormterror. Even if we drove away Stormterror, he's still so pitiful..."
...
As the topic shifted, the girls' eyes revealed sympathy.
"It doesn't matter. Jams can stay at Klee's house!"
Klee pointed in the direction of the Knights of Favonius' confinement room and said in her childish voice, "Klee's house is quite big."
...
Upon hearing Klee say that the confinement room was her home, the girls looked at her with even more sympathy.
"No wonder Jams and Klee have a good relationship. They can understand each other's hardships."
"I don't want to do that either."
Jean pinched Klee's soft cheek and said with an annoyed tone, "I haven't confined you for several days now. I hope you can hold on a little longer."
"Mmm~"
Klee rubbed her cheek against Jean's palm and pursed her lips into an adorable wave shape, thoroughly enjoying the moment.
Although Klee was often scolded by Jean, their bond was still very strong. After all, Jean had watched her grow up.
...
At that moment, while sleeping in Jean's embrace, Jams suddenly reached out and tightly hugged her!
"Sob... my hotel... my Goth Grand Hotel ... it must be alright..."
"Hey, hey, Jams, you..."
"Without the Goth Grand Hotel, how can I survive? I still want to wait for Mona to rent a house! I want to give Lumine a home... Sob, sob, sob!"
Jams tightly embraced Jean's mature and supple body, as if being chased by a nightmare, and his tears quickly soaked Jean's shirt.
"It seems like Jams is having a nightmare."
Amber was initially startled, then floated in front of Jams and wiped his tears.
"It seems like the destruction of the Goth Grand Hotel has had a significant impact on Jams..."
"Shh, let's continue listening to him!"
After their initial astonishment, Barbara, Noelle, and Amber raised their index fingers, gesturing for Paimon to keep quiet.
Even Lumine tilted her head slightly, earnestly listening to Jams' dream talk.
From Jams' dream talk, they heard many familiar or unfamiliar names. The familiar ones included "Eula," "Diona," and "Rosaria."
The unfamiliar ones included "Mona," "Keqing," "Ganyu," "Beelzebul," and "Nahida"...
As they listened, it seemed like all the names belonged to girls.
Amber wore a perplexed expression. "Jams, is he really having a nightmare?"
"..."
Now, no one could be certain whether Jams was having a nightmare or a lewd dream. But surely they couldn't just lift Jams' pants to check, right?
"Hmph."
Captain Jean, who had initially been gentle in comforting Jams, now had an expressionless face and even a hint of disdain.
A man who dreams of a group of girls, there's no need to say more about his character, right?
Bad man! Boo!
"Umm..."
After tossing and turning, Jams finally woke up from his nightmare.
The first thing he did upon returning to reality was to confirm with the people around him, "My Goth Grand Hotel..."
The girls heartlessly replied, "It collapsed!"
"Ah, this."
Jams, who had just woken up from his nightmare, suddenly felt a heavy blow to his heart!
Even if the building collapsed, couldn't they break the news to him a bit more gently? How is my delicate heart supposed to handle this?
"Alright, I've fulfilled your request to sleep together all this time. Now rest here on your own, I still have to handle the aftermath of the Stormterror incident."
Jean placed Jams on the long sofa and turned to walk towards the office.
"Jean, um... We were fine before, why did you suddenly change your attitude as soon as you got off the bed?"
Although Jams was awake now, he still felt weak all over, so he could only lie softly on the sofa, watching her walk away.
"Jams, tell the truth. How many girls have you flirted with?"
Barbara came to Jams, gently pinching his nose. The gesture seemed affectionate but was actually a punishment for Jams.
"Not many, you're all my wings." Jams replied honestly.
After all, both Noelle and little sister Barbara, along with Klee and Lumine, were present. If he mentioned only one, it wouldn't be fair, so he had to include them all.
"I'm not bad, I just made the same mistakes that all men make..."
"Who is Mona?" Barbara suddenly asked.
"Mona? How do you know Mona?"
Jams was taken aback.
That long-legged beauty with black stockings and twin tails shouldn't have arrived in Mondstadt yet, so how did Barbara know Mona's name?
"Who is Keqing?" Noelle asked softly.
"Who is Beelzebul?" Amber wore a smile, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
"Who is Nahida?" Lumine placed her hands on her hips, pouting with an adorable and innocent expression.
"Oh my goodness, am I still dreaming?" Jams's clothes were instantly soaked with cold sweat, his face filled with a shocked expression.
They could understand how they knew Mona and Keqing since Mona's mentor was acquainted with Klee's mother, and Keqing's reputation as one of the Liyue Qixing preceded her.
But how did they know about Beelzebul, the Electro Archon, and Nahida, the Dendro Archon?
Jams thought carefully, and suddenly had a moment of realization.
There was only one truth left after eliminating all impossibilities. He must have talked in his sleep during the nightmare!
"Excluding all possibilities, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth!"
After clarifying the situation, Jams regained his composure.
He shrugged, nonchalantly saying, "I don't even know anyone named Mona or Keqing."
"But you mentioned them in your dream talk."
"Do you really take dream talk seriously?"
Jams stood on the moral high ground, speaking righteously, "Either bring them here for a confrontation, or don't defame my innocence without evidence!"
"Wow, such an arrogant attitude!"
Paimon stomped her foot in the air, feeling a bit displeased. "Although I don't want to defame Jams either, it still feels really uncomfortable!"
Just then, Jean's voice came from the office, "Everyone, can you come to my office? The aftermath of the Stormterror incident is more severe than I expected..."
"Yes!"
Amber was the first to respond.
Noelle and Barbara exchanged glances and ultimately decided to go to Jean's office as well.
Lumine covered Jams with a small blanket, urging him to rest, and then went to the office with Paimon.
...
After the girls left, the room fell silent, and Jams, feeling completely drained, could only lie obediently on the sofa.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through the room.
Strands of green Anemo elemental energy gathered around Jams, forming the figure of a green-hatted beautiful boy.
The beautiful boy removed his green hat and nodded slightly at Jams.
"Jams, I heard you were injured by Andrius. I... umph!"
"Barbatos!"
Seeing the person's face clearly, Jams, fueled by an unknown power, abruptly sat up and grabbed the person's shoulder, shaking him vigorously.
"If Stormterror Andrius is under your command, and she destroyed my mansion, don't blame me for turning her into roasted dragon!"
"Hey, hey, calm down. I'm here to resolve the issue."
Although Venti was being shaken vigorously, he maintained a calm smile on his face. "You possess divinity and are qualified to make a deal with us. So, what compensation do you desire?"
