Before the answer was revealed,

  In the Q&A space—

  Though only 30 seconds were allowed,

  Jean felt like it was taking forever!

  This was a very difficult decision!

  Even though the Anemo Archon, Venti, had clarified his image in the live stream,

  and had even spoken on her behalf,

  comforting her sister Barbara,

  Jean started to think.

  She remembered that Venti, the Anemo Archon, was the same wandering bard who had recently been frequenting Mondstadt,

  and who often recited obscure ancient poems that had caught her attention.

  Kaeya had also seen him perform comic antics in the tavern to earn his drink,

  and had casually mentioned it in his reports.

  For these reasons,

  along with her observations in the live stream,

  and a faint sense of unease,

  Jean subconsciously felt that the Anemo Archon she worshipped was probably not very serious...

  Furthermore, the Anemo Archon symbolized freedom,

  and had disappeared for centuries.

  The idea that he would carry out divine duties felt quite far-fetched.

  Jean believed that his divine duty was to grant freedom to the people of Mondstadt,

  to establish a free city-state where no one ruled.

  So, to personally intervene would contradict the notion of freedom.

  Therefore,

  the answer seemed obvious.

  But the content of that answer—

  busking for booze, deceiving believers, basically being unproductive,

  although it was very free,

  and logically consistent,

  wasn't really appropriate to announce...

  Especially when she, as the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, was under the scrutiny of all Mondstadt and Teyvat.

  Making such a choice wasn't great...

  However,

  thinking about her recent social faux pas,

  Jean finally made a choice true to her heart!

  She chose answers D, E, F in the last second!

  [Shenhe: Probably didn't want to die socially...]

  [Mona: Deeply relatable!]

  [Ningguang: Although it's not a good look, it shows that Jean is a rational person.]

  [Beidou: Pursuing efficiency rather than blindly following gods; I think this is what grounded people do.]

  [Zhongli: I agree.]

  [Beidou: @Ganyu, I'm curious, hypothetically speaking, what would you do if you were in Jean's situation but with Morax instead?]

  [Beidou: Assuming the correct answer would tarnish his image, and you've guessed it correctly.]

  [Beidou: Would you risk social suicide and choose the wrong answer?]

  [Lumine: 6, classic you!]

  [Zhongli: +1.]

  [Hutao: Hahaha, I can't wait to see that!]

  [Ganyu: ...]

  [Ganyu: Can I, um, abstain?]

  [Beidou: No abstaining.]

  [Ganyu: ...]

  [Ningguang: Beidou, don't pressure Ganyu.]

  [Xiangling: If it were me, I wouldn't choose the wrong answer!]

  [Hutao: +1!]

  [Hutao: Unless Morax gave me a lot of Mora, I wouldn't give up a guaranteed reward!]

  [Lumine: Makes sense, considering how 'wealthy' Morax is.]

  [Zhongli: .......]

  [Beidou: @Ganyu, ahem, sorry, it was just hypothetical. No need to take it to heart.]

  [Yae Miko: Good question, Beidou. I'm getting interested.]

  [Yae Miko: @Sara, what would you do if you were in this situation but with Shogun?]

  [Scaramouche: ...]

  [Sara: Impossible!]

  [Sara: The Shogun would never be as frivolous as the Anemo Archon!]
