Where have you been traveling lately? Are you still busy every day?

Well, to think of it, I guess you feel pretty fulfilled when staying so busy.

I'm the same way! I pray to the Anemo Archon, listen to the prayers of others, heal the sick, and practice my singing every day...

Speaking of singing, I just learned a new special song.

Although it is not my usual style, I find the melody to be particularly comforting, as if it is overflowing with warm emotions...I think you will like it too.

Oh yes, I sent you some dandelion seeds with the letter. I hope you can come listen to my new song when you are free.

Hehe, that would be my birthday wish.

Have you ever hit a plateau?

Recently, I often feel like I can't improve anymore. I don't think I'm making progress at all, whether it's work at the Church or the songs I practice every day. Though I can still help people around me, I understand I can't be like this anymore and I have to improve.

I went to my sister for her advice, and she said what she has done so far is to "persevere."

"Don't be in a hurry to grow.

Growth is a kind of accumulation. Stick to what you have been doing and the rest will follow."

I believe in what my sister said, so I would like to share this secret tip with you, Traveler.

May your journey be accompanied by songs and happiness.

A few days ago, I suddenly thought of you while I was helping a few children with their scrapes and scratches.

Where have your adventures taken you? Do you often get hurt? When you do, do you get timely medical attention? Even you, the amazing Honorary Knight, can't just ignore your injuries! You need to treat your body well in order for it to come through for you when it really counts!

Speaking of which, there were a few kids who were in so much pain while I was cleaning their cuts that they couldn't help but cry. No matter how much I hummed or tried to comfort them, I couldn't help them calm down. But then Sister Rosaria suggested I try something else. So after a bit of thought, I told them the story of the "Honorary Knight who didn't cry, not even in the face of a giant dragon"... and I could hardly believe how well it worked!

Now they all really want to see you in person, it's almost as though you've become their "idol"...

Now, if I could use this opportunity and teach them that "bravery doesn't mean recklessness, and the Honorary Knight never plays any dangerous games," that would be even better...

As I passed by the square today, I heard a little girl humming a song with her friends. To my surprise, it was a tune that I once performed... I greeted them and we sang a part of the song together.

It dawned on me that my songs have reached many people, and nothing would fill me with more pride than seeing others draw strength from them.

Hehe, do you ever find yourself humming songs? Do you sing along when you're happy? If you come across any lovely melodies, please do share them with me!

The church is organizing a small choral performance, and to ensure everyone has a pleasant listening experience, I've arranged for Diona to mix up some refreshing drinks to beat the summer heat. I've also asked Flora to create Small Lamp Grass bracelets, which will help set the atmosphere... I want everyone to be able to relax and enjoy the moment together, so we've been rehearsing some soothing hymns — hopefully they'll fit in nicely with the warm summer nights!

I've reserved a seat in the front row for you, but I should warn you in advance, I have a feeling people will be asking for autographs and to shake your hand. As an Honorary Knight, you're every Mondstadter's worthy hero!

I finally got to have dinner with my family over the weekend. That doesn't happen very often, so I volunteered to make one of my favorite dishes for them! But after only a few bites, Father and my sister put down their knives and forks. They smiled at me, but I could tell they were trying their best. Maybe it was... a little too spicy?

I know everyone has different tastes, and I'd never want them to eat something they don't like. Still, I really wanted to share something I love with the people I love most, so it's hard not to feel a bit disappointed...

I wonder if there's a spicy dish that even people who aren't used to spicy food could enjoy the first time they try it... Something gentle enough for beginners, maybe? I think I'll ask some friends from other nations for advice.

If you have any suggestions, please tell me when you have time. Thank you!
