Zhongli's cursed remix had already left the Seven Nations spiritually disfigured.
Some found it absurdly hilarious, others claimed it had burned their retinas—and many… would simply never emotionally recover.
But Bai Hao was a man of kindness.
A benevolent soul.
He couldn't just abandon the masses in their trauma.
So he generously uploaded the original version of the video.
…Naturally, kind people still needed to earn a living.
Thus, the original video required a paid download.
— Trial Broadcast: Klee • Da-Da-Da —
The screen faded in before the Knights of Favonius Headquarters.
The same cheerful melody began to play.
Klee swayed adorably from side to side, tilting her head.
"Hmm? Are you here to play with Klee?"
She poked her chin with a tiny finger.
"Then… you'll be on lookout duty, okay?"
Turning around, she hoisted her bomb satchel over her shoulder, her voice soft and syrup-sweet.
"If you see Acting Grand Master Jean, tell me right away, alright?"
Then—
hop, hop, hop—
Down the steps she went, grinning from ear to ear.
"(^▽^) Hehe~ Let's gooo!"
Klee leapt into the air, hands raised high—
her smile brighter than the noon sun.
The background burst into a white splash screen—
Four-leaf clovers bloomed in colorful showers of sparkles.
Two golden labels appeared:
Name: Klee
Codename:The Runaway Sun!
And below, in smaller text:
Frequent Guest of the Knights of Favonius Confinement Room — Mondstadt's No.1 Demolition Expert!
A crisp montage followed—
Klee setting forests alight, fishing with bombs at Starfell Lake, being dragged away by Jean…
Only to reemerge moments later to continue "land re-sculpting projects" involving unsuspecting hilichurls.
Finally—
Under the amber glow of an autumn sunset, she tossed out a field of bouncing bombs.
A sea of flame blossomed behind her.
Her smile—pure, innocent, radiant—shone against the burning horizon.
The screen faded to black.
Klee's tiny voice echoed:
"Next time, let's go bomb fish at Starfell Lake together!"
Video end.
