While Eula was still holding a grudge, Hu Tao suddenly appeared and pulled her away to catch Crystalfly.
Hu Tao, with her twin pigtails, had a boisterous personality and talked non-stop along the way.
The Crystalfly heard her voice and were scared away from a distance.
But even so, Hu Tao still played with great relish and never tired of it.
Eula had long been accustomed to being alone, so having a talkative friend by her side was not bad.
It wasn't until there were no Crystalfly left at Windrise that the little devils stopped.
During their break, Shenhe sat beside Eula and carefully combed Eula's hair with a comb.
Eula's hair quality was very good; it just looked like a tomboy because she hadn't paid attention to her appearance for a long time.
It would look very good with just a little tidying up.
Hu Tao wanted to go over and help Eula with her makeup, but Shenhe refused.
Because Hu Tao's makeup skills were truly dreadful, Taroumaru knew this well.
During the process of combing her hair, Shenhe's movements were very light and careful.
Makoto's hands were far less skillful than hers, so Makoto often handed over the heavy task of combing hair to Shenhe.
It was strange to say, even though Shenhe combed hair more carefully and beautifully, Ningguang and others still preferred Makoto to comb their hair.
Eula looked at Shenhe beside her, and an idea suddenly popped into her mind: it would be great if she had a friend who could comb her hair every day.
After that, Beidou called everyone to play the game of eagle catching chicks.
All the Little Ones hid behind Beidou, and Eula held tightly onto Beidou's clothes.
This was her first time playing such a tense and exciting game, and her excited little face turned red.
She used to only be able to watch other children play eagle catching chicks from afar.
Now, she had also found friends to play games with.
As for the role of the eagle, of course, Makoto played it.
Every time Makoto ran to catch people, he would deliberately speed up, scaring the Little Ones into screaming, which was very interesting.
However, Qiqi always fell behind during the game and was then caught by Makoto.
"Does Makoto want to catch Qiqi... then Qiqi will stay... wait for Makoto..."
Silly little Qiqi didn't understand the meaning of the game; she just felt that if Makoto wanted to catch her, she shouldn't run.
Makoto estimated that explaining the rules of the game to Qiqi wouldn't be of much use.
So he said to Qiqi, "Qiqi, Taroumaru said he is hungry, hurry up and feed him."
These words indeed had an effect; Qiqi ran towards Taroumaru with her short legs.
And Taroumaru already had a phobia of Qiqi.
Hearing that Qiqi wanted to feed him, he hurriedly started running, still howling non-stop, his eyes filled with resentment towards Makoto, like Dvalin looking at Barbatos.
With such a chase, one in front and one behind, the game could also operate normally.
Little Eula initially didn't know what was going on, why did Taroumaru run when Qiqi wanted to feed him?
But after listening to Ningguang explain the whole story, she also covered her mouth and laughed.
She felt that little Qiqi and Taroumaru were quite interesting.
Time passed bit by bit, and the sky gradually changed from its original clear brightness to orange-yellow, with faint specks of stars visible.
The fiery clouds at the horizon stretched endlessly, golden clouds slowly rolled, and their soft appearance looked like marshmallows.
Eula suddenly felt a little annoyed; she hadn't played much in the afternoon, and in a blink of an eye, it was already getting dark.
"Little Ones, it's getting dark, we should go back for dinner."
Makoto looked up at the sky, then lowered his head and said to the girls in his family.
After a bustling afternoon, these little devils had released all their energy, and their stomachs must be rumbling with hunger now.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the Little Ones immediately felt their stomachs rumbling non-stop, wanting to eat.
Makoto noticed Eula standing still and took the initiative to invite her: "Eula, would you like to come eat together?"
Eula shook her head: "Big brother, you go eat, I... I'm not hungry yet."
Saying she wasn't hungry was false.
Since leaving the Lawrence Family until now, Eula hadn't eaten anything for a day.
In addition, she had been bustling about all afternoon, consuming a lot of energy.
Eula was already starving, but she didn't show it.
When Makoto extended the invitation, there was a moment when Eula wanted to nod.
But considering that she had no money and couldn't pay the bill,
She could only use 'not hungry yet' to decline Makoto's invitation.
Makoto did not insist; if the little girl didn't eat, was he going to forcibly carry her away?
Wouldn't that make him a human trafficker?
Makoto and Eula agreed to practice swordsmanship tomorrow morning, and the little girl nodded in agreement.
The Little Ones also waved goodbye to Eula and then left Windrise.
It wasn't until everyone's figures disappeared from sight that Eula sat down again under the tree at Windrise.
Looking at the empty Windrise, she felt as if something was missing in her heart.
She must not be used to it suddenly being so quiet, when it had been so lively just now.
Why wouldn't she be used to it?
Eula couldn't figure it out.
Logically speaking, she was already accustomed to being alone; now she was just returning to solitude.
Eula didn't continue to ponder this question, because her stomach rumbled.
There was no other way; she had to solve the problem of eating first.
Fortunately, there were Sunsettia and Berry nearby, and Eula could use these fruits to fill her stomach.
However, the taste of these fruits didn't seem very good; they probably weren't fully ripe yet, tasting a bit sour and bitter.
But Eula wouldn't care so much; it was good enough to have something to fill her stomach, as her identity now was that of a wanderer.
As the last ray of sunlight disappeared below the horizon, night officially took over Mondstadt.
The freedom of the wind was no longer gentle at night, blowing on one's face with a bit of chill.
Eula shrank her neck, her expression showing confusion, not knowing where she could go.
She certainly wouldn't go back to the Lawrence Family, and there was no place in Mondstadt City that would welcome her...
Hunger and cold, that was her current situation.
"Little Eula, is this what you meant by not hungry yet?"
Just then, Makoto's voice sounded behind Eula.
