Flowers for Mein Fraulein Amy
A collection of short stories about the young unlucky lad and The Prinzessin der Verurteilung. Of cuorse, I'm open to comments and suggestions; some of these tales are independent from the others, but in the end it's all part of a bigger picture. Please tell me if my writing is hard to read.

/Bennett's "magic" bag/
It is truly odd: some of the stuff I collect during my adventures just disappears from my bag. I made sure it had no holes, and yet I still can't find some of my artifacts and materials. And somehow all the stuff just happens to appear somewhere else when I don't need it anymore. I don't think is the bag's fault thought.
Now what am I supposed to do if I find something I could use? Or something cool maybe. Bad thing none of the official members of Benny's Adventure Team could show up today. If I'm lucky I might stumble upon someone I know so they can help me carry the important stuff.
"Oh! HEY! Prinzessin der Verurteilung! Over here!". Fischl looked a little bothered about my call, so I apologized —My apologies, Prinzessin, but I was wondering: can we adventure together today?
"Today? Explain yourself, dear adventurer."
"Well, there are some important thing I plan to gather today, but I fear I might lose them because of my luck."
"Bold of you to ask such a thing to the Prinzessin der Verurteilung. Beware that your fame precedes you, dear adventurer."
"I didn't mean to trouble you, your highness. I'll… go see if someone else is available."
Fischl looked more troubled than before. After a moment of thinking she gave a small sigh, crossed her arms and said:
"As a prinzessin, one shall look after her servants. However, thou shall give me an offering by the end of the day."
"Awesome! You won't be disappointed, I promise."
We headed to the good hunter, and after breakfast both of us headed to The Dawn Winery. First thing in my list was to find Windwheel Asters. I sure found just enough of these. I gave them to Fischl so she would help me carry them; this way I wouldn't lose them. After that we headed to Liyue, since second thing in the list was to fight some treasure hoarders and collect their insignias; once again, Fischl helped me out keeping them in her bag. Third thing in the list: go back to Mondstadt and enter the Forsaken Rift, same thing as before with the talent materials.
I decided to head to Windrise since the sun was already hiding. There we could collect more Windwheel Asters and maybe get some crystal cores. While walking near Springvale Fischl stopped out of nowhere.
"Bennett, it is getting dark. I fear the beasts that hide within the shadows might come out to satisfy their cruel desires. I suggest we finish this odyssey for today."
"Really? I mean, it's been really productive today since you helped me out, prinzessin. I wish we could go to Windrise at least."
"But I refuse. In first place, this is not how a servant should be supposed to treat his prinzessin, letting her carry all the supplies. Second thing even thought there is no evil in this world I cannot withstand, one shall not stay outside when the moon is high up."
Fischl looked mad this time. She was right, we should head back to Mondstadt and called a day.
"You know, you sure can withstand any kind of evil, dear prinzessin: not only you survived a day with me unharmed, but you also repelled most of my bad luck. That's pretty neat!"
"Of course, I would! Your bad luck is nothing compared to the power of my lifelong rival, the disastrous dragon that frightens the good people of Mondstadt. Hmph!"
Once back in Mondstandt I offered to pay dinner for both of us. She didn't look happy or mad about it, she just accepted the offer. I ordered Fisherman's Toast while Fischl had some salad. After thinking about it, I really felt bad about taking Fischl with me so she would carry my stuff around. I had to do my best and give her something special as my offering. While she was still eating her salad, I looked in my bag for something I could give her. In the end I found a blank piece of paper and a flower of life: I made a paper bird and gave it to her with the Gambler's Brooch I found.
"Prinzessin Fischl, I'm truly sorry for what I did today. I will take responsibility of my own stuff from now on! Please accept my offerings!"
Fischl looked at me with a pouting face. "Indeed, thou shall make yourself responsible of your own belongings! But, if I'm honest, I enjoyed adventuring with you. Despite making me carry around thy supplies, you sure know how to guarantee the safety of a lady…"
That's right! My hand still hurts after using my Fantastic Voyage all day.
"So do not worry about the offering, this meal and the paper bird should be… enough for now."
"Thank you very much prinzessin! Since we both enjoyed adventuring together, do you think we can pair up for some more adventures in the future!?" I was so happy that I jumped across the table to meet her face, my mad. She looked away, but she said "Sure". Even though she said so in a low voice tone, I think she truly meant it.
