Chapter 5 - Crisis in Poisson (1/2)

[Navia (panicking): Poisson—my hometown, Poisson!]

[Lyney: What a terrifying disaster... The House of the Hearth will never stand by and do nothing.]

[Jean: The Fatui will probably just sit back and laugh! Their underlings were the ones controlling the Stormterror crisis over Mondstadt not long ago—causing chaos in our skies!]

[Lynette: The House of the Hearth is different from the other Fatui. Fontaine is our home. We would never abandon it.]

[Barbatos (Venti): Have faith in the gods. Let us keep watching.]

...

Video.

Lumine and Paimon have already reached the deeper parts of the town.

Paimon: "We've walked all the way here and still haven't seen anyone... I-I'm scared..."

A voice in the distance cried:

"How am I supposed to get through this...?"

Paimon looked up at a rooftop.

Paimon: "Look! There's someone up on that roof!"

A Spina di Rosula member rushed over.

Rescuer: "Sit tight and stay balanced! We'll come get you shortly!"

As Lumine and Paimon continued deeper, they finally encountered more people.

"My daughter... without you, how can I go on...?"

"My leg—ah! If only I hadn't moved around so much!"

A rescuer from Spina di Rosula knelt down beside the trembling man.

Rescuer: "Please hold on a little longer. Help is on the way. If you feel anxious, you can hold my hand."

[Ningguang: This 'Spina di Rosula' is quite impressive—they were the first to arrive, and their emotional support is quite effective. (thumbs up)]

[Keqing: If something like this happened in Liyue, I would also be the first one on the scene! (asking for praise)]

[Navia: Spina di Rosula was founded by my father... Their headquarters is right here in Poisson.]

[Ningguang: I see. So that's how it is.]

[Neuvillette: If the Spina di Rosula needs assistance, they may contact me at any time.]

In the video, Lumine and Paimon finally found Navia, who looked visibly shaken.

Navia: "You're here..."

Paimon: "We came as soon as we heard! What exactly happened?"

Navia: "As you can see... the rising water levels caused a great deal of trouble for Poisson."

Just then, a Spina di Rosula member ran over.

Rescuer: "Boss! There's an injured resident to the southeast. We've already evacuated him to the safe zone, but we're out of medical supplies!"

Navia: "Injured? How badly?"

Rescuer: "He fell, and his legs are broken. When the flood hit, he climbed onto a rooftop, but after the water receded, he panicked... and accidentally—"

Navia: "—fell down?"

Rescuer: "Yes."

Navia: "Find the captain of Squad One. He'll know where to locate a doctor."

The rescuer saluted.

Rescuer: "Understood! I'll take over the captain's search-and-rescue duties."

Navia: "I'm counting on you."

The rescuer sprinted away.

Navia turned back to Lumine.

Navia: "Sorry… where were we?"
