"Why didn't you go back? Do you have a friend to meet?" After Kaito took Miko away, Wendy asked Lumine while drinking her beverage.
She wanted to know what Lumine was thinking.
Or in other words, Kaito wanted to know what Lumine was thinking.
"It's not that, it's just..."
Stopping mid-sentence, Lumine paused as if pondering how to answer.
"Just what?"
Setting down her cup and looking at Lumine, Wendy asked directly, following up on her words.
"I just feel... it wouldn't be good to disturb them..."
Turning her head to meet Wendy's gaze, Lumine said this slowly.
Disturb them?
Taken aback for a moment, Wendy hadn't expected Lumine's answer to be this, and then she said, "Miko is so drunk right now, even if you stepped on her and called her a little fox, she definitely wouldn't react. Plus, when she wakes up, she definitely won't remember anyone doing that to her."
After saying this, Wendy turned her head to look at Venti, who had long since passed out on the table, as if implying that Miko was currently in a similar state.
"I feel like you really like calling Miko a little fox, Wendy."
Not knowing whether it was to change the subject or if she just found it amusing, Lumine couldn't help but chuckle after saying this.
"She's a little fox to begin with. Is it wrong for me to call her that?" Wendy replied as a matter of course to Lumine's words.
"I wouldn't dare."
Saying so, Lumine also shook her head to indicate she wouldn't dare do that.
There was no helping it; she didn't have Wendy's strength, and besides, her relationship with Miko wasn't that close, so no matter how you looked at it, she had no reason to call her that.
"It's fine. When the time comes, just stand behind me, and she won't do anything to you."
At this moment, Wendy looked as though she really wanted Lumine to join her in calling Miko that.
To this, Lumine simply smiled.
"How about we go out for a walk?" After the two had been quiet for a moment, Lumine turned her head to glance at Venti slumped on the table and suddenly suggested this.
"Sure."
Seeing that Lumine wanted to go for a walk, Wendy naturally wouldn't refuse, and it was the perfect time to help Miko pay the tab.
Afterwards, the two came down to the bar on the first floor.
"It really has been a long time, Miss Wendy and Lumine." As soon as they came down, Kaeya immediately greeted them.
"Long time no see, Captain Kaeya."
Looking at his enthusiastic face, Lumine recognized him as Captain Kaeya.
"Long time no see. Also, we'd like to settle the bill, Diluc." Looking at Kaeya and waving, Wendy immediately shifted her gaze to Diluc behind the bar, indicating she wanted to pay.
"Since we haven't seen each other in so long, let me pay the bill."
Hearing that they were about to pay, Kaeya immediately and enthusiastically offered to cover it himself.
However, regarding his behavior, Wendy felt he would be frightened by the bill.
After all, Miko had ordered all the good wine just now, and with Miko herself, Kaito, and Venti all drinking so much, Wendy felt the bill would be quite terrifying.
"There's no need, Kaeya. I feel like... this tab is going to cost quite a lot of Mora." Waving her hand at Kaeya, Wendy declined.
Actually, she originally wanted to say that Kaeya might not be able to afford it, but feeling that would be a bit too hurtful, she rephrased it.
Of course, regardless of whether he could afford it or not, she would definitely be the one paying.
"It's fine, it's just some drinks. I can still afford it."
Seeing that the Anemo Archon didn't believe him, Kaeya waved his hand grandly, declaring he could afford it.
Then he looked at Diluc and said, "Master Diluc, I'll pay for their drinks."
"No problem."
Looking expressionlessly at Kaeya, Diluc nodded.
"No, this time we..."
"Ah, you two ladies should go do whatever you need to do, I'll take care of the bill."
Seeing that the Anemo Archon still wanted to say something, Kaeya directly told them to go about their business and not worry about the drink money.
"Alright, then thank you, Captain Kaeya."
Seeing Kaeya so insistent, Wendy didn't say anything further. After expressing her thanks, she and Lumine left Angel's Share.
"Alright, can you pay up now?"
After watching the Anemo Archon and Lumine leave, Diluc immediately demanded the drink money from Kaeya.
"Then show me the bill."
"Take your time looking at it, just pay the money." Saying this, Diluc handed the bill to Kaeya.
Hmm?
How could the Anemo Archon drink so much???
Looking at the bill, Kaeya wore a look of shock. This was a bit different from what he had imagined.
Sigh...
As expected of the Anemo Archon!
To be able to drink so much with such a small body!
And without a hint of drunkenness...
Amazing, truly amazing!
Putting the bill down, Kaeya was filled with nothing but admiration.
"What? Can't afford it?"
Looking at Kaeya's shocked expression, Diluc asked plainly.
However, he had already anticipated this outcome.
"I can afford it, I can afford it, of course I can afford it. But get me another glass, I won't be leaving that quickly."
Looking at Diluc, Kaeya smiled and asked for another drink.
"Sure, but on the condition that you first pay the bill for the drinks you just treated them to."
Without immediately pouring a drink for Kaeya, Diluc told him to pay that bill first.
"I say, Master Diluc, are you afraid I'll run out on the tab?"
Seeing Diluc like this, Kaeya couldn't help but laugh.
However, Diluc's only response was a single word, "Yes."
And while the two were discussing the bill here, Wendy and Lumine had already walked all the way to Windrise.
"Mondstadt's scenery is still the best," Wendy suddenly remarked, looking at the various views around them.
Although she had stayed in Inazuma for a while, she still felt Mondstadt was better.
"Yeah, it feels very suitable for living long-term." Lumine wholeheartedly agreed with what Wendy said.
She felt that if she ever wanted to find a place to settle down long-term in the future, Mondstadt would be the undisputed top choice.
"Oh? Do you want to live in Mondstadt?"
Hearing Lumine suddenly say this, Wendy couldn't help but wonder if she was preparing to settle down in Mondstadt and stop traveling everywhere.
"Not right now, but if I want to find a place to settle down later, I think Mondstadt is a very good choice."
Turning to look at Wendy, Lumine explained her thoughts.
She didn't have such thoughts at the moment, but no one could say for sure what would happen in the future.
"I see, that really is a good idea." Wendy nodded.
Actually, she wanted to add that she had the same thought, but suddenly realizing that she currently held the identity of the Anemo Archon, she refrained from saying it aloud.
Afterwards, the two continued walking towards the giant tree.
However, not long after, Lumine spoke up again, "Wendy, let me ask you something."
"Go ahead, ask whatever you want."
Wendy had long anticipated that Lumine would ask her something.
Ever since they were still in Angel's Share, she had guessed that Lumine wanted to tell or ask her something.
"It's just... do you know what Kaito and I did?"
After thinking for a moment, Lumine finally asked this question.
She didn't know if Kaito had mentioned it to Wendy, so she wanted to ask.
She wanted to know how Wendy would react if she knew.
And if Wendy didn't know yet, she would choose to tell her about it.
"Yesterday?" Wendy had already guessed as much, so she directly asked if it was about yesterday.
"Yes."
Hearing Wendy say this, Lumine already had her answer.
If her guess wasn't wrong, Wendy should already know.
"Then of course I know."
When answering this question, Wendy appeared very matter-of-fact, as if she had known all along.
"Then..."
"You're not planning to ask me some weird questions, are you? It's not good to talk about these things outside, you know." Without waiting for Lumine to continue, Wendy jokingly said this, making Lumine blush a little.
What is this Wendy thinking about...
Looking at the smiling Wendy, Lumine was somewhat speechless.
Regardless, of course she wouldn't ask strange questions outside.
Setting aside whether she would even ask such questions, given that they were outside right now, it was impossible for such questions to come up.
Actually, she wanted to ask how Wendy knew, but after Wendy's joke just now, she didn't really want to ask anymore.
There was no helping it; she still felt a bit awkward talking about this kind of thing with others, even if that person was Wendy.
However, if Wendy hadn't jokingly interrupted her just now, she might have already asked it.
"You're definitely wondering how I know, right?" Just when Lumine decided it was best not to ask that question, Wendy actually guessed her thoughts.
Lumine: "!"
Not expecting Wendy to actually guess her thoughts, Lumine looked at her with some surprise.
"Yeah." Seeing that Wendy had already guessed her thoughts, Lumine nodded. Since Wendy already knew, she might as well ask.
"I guessed."
Under Lumine's gaze, Wendy gave an answer that Lumine completely hadn't expected.
"Guessed?"
Saying this subconsciously, Lumine hadn't expected Wendy to have actually guessed it.
She originally thought Wendy must have found out from Kaito, but that wasn't the case, which surprised her greatly.
"Yeah, I guessed it. Am I amazing or what?"
Looking at the surprised Lumine, Wendy looked quite proud of herself at this moment.
"Yeah, you really are amazing, Wendy." Nodding, Lumine agreed that Wendy was indeed very amazing.
She had to admit, seeing Wendy like this made her heave a sigh of relief.
It was obvious that Wendy didn't hold any negative thoughts about what happened yesterday, and Lumine was very happy with this outcome.
"This Anemo Archon is naturally amazing."
Saying this, Wendy also looked up at the giant tree that was now right in front of them.
She had to admit, that tree was truly massive; who knows how long it had been there.
"It feels like that tree has been around for a long time, right?"
At this time, Lumine also looked at the giant tree and said this.
