Summary
A crumbling duchy, a less-than-stellar reputation, and no real allies to speak of, Rowena wondered if this second life was worth it. The whole thing was a headache.
Manhwas, otomes, the whole romantasy isekai shebang? They couldn't prepare her enough for the grit, the paperwork, the mess of a life she'd stepped into like wet socks squelching in waterlogged shoes.
Maybe she should just prepare some money and live life as a runaway commoner?
Then, an invitation to be the tutor for the twelve princesses came—being in a Barbie animated movie still unfortunately hadn't translated to sunshine and rainbows. [SI!Rowena]

Summary
Teyvat was a beautiful, open world, filled with colorful habitats and a varied cast of characters—enjoyable behind a screen.
With the soggy, insect-worn map and a ratty knapsack on my person, all I could think of was that games never compared to reality. No matter. I just had to survive, maybe learn a couple tricks along the way, and wait for a certain world-hopping witch.
In the meantime, I had to figure out how to blend into the background. It shouldn't be too hard, right?
People notice outsiders, because that's what they do. Unfortunately, more than a couple of them are a little more persistent than the rest.
"Fight me!"
"Go away, you mutt. How do you have so much energy this early in the bloody morning?"
"That's because I'm close to mastering it, I just know it! Besides, Boreas said I should try it with you."
"No thanks, I have to help our dear Inspector."
"Oh come on, he'll manage! Right?"
"... Idiots."
"See?! And Frederica's here."
"Good. I'm filing a complaint, the Grandmaster is being a nuisance—"
"There they go again. Who do you think will win this time?"
Attachments would only hurt when I leave.
