"It's been almost a thousand years, I suppose." Because she was currently the Anemo Archon, Wendy decided to show off a little of what she knew.
Of course, the Anemo Archon definitely knew exactly how long this tree had existed.
If she were to say she didn't know, Lumine would probably doubt her identity as the Anemo Archon.
"A thousand years?" Lumine couldn't help but exclaim out loud.
It was obvious that she was shocked by how long this tree had existed.
At first, she thought it had probably been a few hundred years, but she hadn't expected it to be a thousand.
"Then Wendy, how do you know..." Lumine, who was just about to ask Wendy how she knew, suddenly realized she had asked a very funny question. "Ah, you're the Anemo Archon, of course you'd know."
After saying this, Lumine also laughed somewhat awkwardly.
After all, Wendy was the Anemo Archon, so of course she knew how long this tree had been around.
"It is a tree planted by Vennessa, the first Dandelion Knight who founded the Knights of Favonius."
Seeing that Lumine was still talking about this tree, Wendy continued to explain the tree's origins.
"I see, I didn't expect it to have such an origin." Looking at Wendy, and then looking back at the tree in front of them, Lumine nodded.
"Yeah."
Wendy was also looking at the tree at this moment.
At this time, Lumine turned her head again to look at Wendy and asked, "Then Wendy... did you know that Dandelion Knight?"
Even though she knew that the Dandelion Knight was already gone, Lumine was a bit curious about whether Wendy knew her or not.
"I did, but that was so many years ago. She isn't the only one I knew."
Not expecting Lumine to ask her such a question, Wendy thought for a moment before saying this.
Anyway, she was now the Anemo Archon, so she still had to say that she knew Vennessa.
Otherwise, if Lumine learned more later, she would suspect her.
Of course, being suspected by Lumine wasn't really a big deal.
"That's true."
Hearing Wendy say this, Lumine nodded.
She had to admit, Wendy's words just now had also struck a chord with her.
Over so many years, the number of people one knew certainly wouldn't be small.
It was just that, as time hurried by, many people were already gone, leaving behind only various memories that existed within one's mind.
Although she wasn't some kind of god, she had similarly lived for a very long time and had seen many people and many things.
Brother...
How are you doing now?
Are you alright?
Her gaze continuing to look at that large tree, Lumine also couldn't help but think of her own brother at this moment.
Right...
I wonder if Wendy might know where my brother is right now...
Suddenly thinking of this, Lumine immediately turned her head back to look at Wendy.
Besides wanting to see her brother, Lumine also wanted to talk about some matters concerning herself.
"Is something the matter? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?"
Seeing Lumine suddenly looking at her with an expression that suggested she had something on her mind, Wendy knew she had something to tell her.
But as for what it was, she had no idea.
Could it be about Miko?
Or about Kaito's side?
Looking at Lumine, Wendy was making all sorts of guesses.
"It's just... do you know where my brother is right now? I want to see him."
Hearing Wendy ask her directly, Lumine also quickly voiced her thoughts.
"About that, I'll have to look for him. I can can't guarantee that I'll be able to find him." Upon hearing that this was what Lumine wanted to talk about, Wendy didn't make any promises, only stating that she would search for him.
There was no helping it. Although her speed was very fast, Teyvat was also very large. Furthermore, Lumine's brother definitely wouldn't just openly appear somewhere, so she could only say that she would try her best.
"It's okay even if you can't find him, Wendy. Thank you."
Lumine was naturally very clear about what Wendy meant. The fact that she was willing to help her look was already very nice of her.
Afterward, Wendy planned to start from Mondstadt first.
As for how she was going to do that, it was naturally to go find some Abyss Mages and give them a good questioning.
Liyue.
It's true indeed...
Drunk people become very heavy...
After placing Miko on the bed in her room, Kaito also couldn't help but silently think this.
He had read an article in the past that said drunk people would be heavier than usual.
Of course, this wasn't because their weight had actually changed, but because the loss of consciousness would lead to various parts of the body becoming uncontrollable, making it very difficult for someone to carry them.
Just as friends who frequently murder people all know, corpses are much harder to carry than living people.
Hmm...
It's already noon, huh...
I should go eat something first...
Just now in Mondstadt, I only drank wine...
After taking a look at the light shining through the window, Kaito realized that it was already noon, so he thought about going to get some food.
Although Kaito had gotten full just from drinking earlier, that was only a false sense of fullness. After a trip to the restroom, it would pretty much be gone.
As for Miko, he felt that she was the familiar of the Electro Archon no matter what, so she would probably be fine after a little while.
"Don't go..."
Just as Kaito was preparing to walk out and close the door, a mumble from Miko suddenly came from behind him.
Her next sentence wouldn't be asking him to continue drinking with her, right?
Turning his head to look at Miko lying on the bed, Kaito silently thought this. He knew that this was just Miko sleep-talking, and she wasn't actually trying to stop him from leaving.
"It's time to sleep, Miko. I'm going to eat."
Although he felt that Miko wouldn't be able to hear what he was saying, Kaito still muttered this to himself.
Afterward, Kaito continued to walk toward the outside.
"You guy..." Before Kaito could even lift his foot, Miko spoke up again. This time, it startled Kaito.
"Miko, you're awake?"
Returning to the bedside, Kaito looked at Miko, whose eyes were still closed, and asked this with some doubt.
There was no helping it. Right now, Miko truly looked like she was asleep, or rather, dead drunk.
It was just that the words she had just spoken made it really hard for him to figure out whether she was actually sober or not.
"Not awake..."
Under Kaito's watchful gaze, Miko mumbled these two words again.
Kaito: "..."
Is this little fox pretending to be drunk?
Continuing to stand by the bed and look at Miko, Kaito couldn't help but make this guess.
It was just that there was no helping it; right now he didn't have any proof, and it wasn't exactly proper for him to check whether Miko was pretending to be drunk or if she was actually drunk.
"If you're not awake, then I'll continue on my way to eat." After thinking about it, Kaito said this.
Afterward, he once again walked toward the door, only this time he walked very slowly.
"Are you just going to leave me here like this, you guy..."
Just as Kaito expected, Miko spoke up again, and this time, her voice was noticeably much clearer than before.
"So you weren't drunk after all." Turning his head back once more, Kaito was also wondering when exactly Miko had woken up.
Or rather, could it be that she hadn't been drunk at all from the very beginning, and it was all just an act?
