Chapter 363 Island Savages?
The morning sun shone on the children's faces as the troupe leader, Qin, led them in their morning exercises.
Inside the living room, Paimon, who had been playing video games all night, hadn't woken up even when the sun was high in the sky... Barbara called out to her cautiously.
"Little Paimon...Little Paimon...!"
"Hmm...? What time is it? *yawn*... Good morning~"
"Good morning! How was your rest? What would you like to eat for breakfast?"
Upon hearing this, Paimon stretched.
"I had a good dream last night—if you're having breakfast, please give me a slice of toast!"
"Okay, I'll get ready right now."
After Barbara left, Paimon went to wash up.
Just thinking about how the game coins she helped Huiyuan grind last night could be exchanged for Mora made her smile nonstop even while brushing her teeth!
Eating, washing up, and getting dressed are all done in one go.
After leaving the Dust Song Pot, everyone began to enjoy their new day.
Islands, exploration... and beautiful scenery—with just a little renovation, this place could be a tourist paradise!
The group regularly surveyed the surrounding area from the mountaintop, assessing the weather and environment...
Just then, Barbara seemed to have noticed something and called everyone over.
"Look, isn't there white smoke rising from that flat island over there? Could it be... that there are other people here besides us?"
That island is quite large and does not border any other islands.
If the white smoke is a distress signal, how did the people trapped on the island get up there?
Hmm...that's a bit suspicious. It would be best if we all investigated together.
As the troupe leader was thinking this, just as she was about to give orders, she suddenly realized that they were on vacation and there was no need to be nervous, so she relaxed.
At that moment, Klee, who had seen the wisp of white smoke, ran out.
"It's the Great Demon King Dudu!"
With those words uttered, she soared into the sky, unfurled her wings of wind, and drifted into the wave-riding ship.
Upon arriving on the island, the group slowly moved towards the direction of the white smoke, and two figures gradually appeared.
Paimon used his hand as a telescope to look over, and immediately felt that the figure was somewhat familiar, saying:
"Hmm...hmm? This seems somewhat familiar..."
Those figures, one of ice and one of fire, shone brightly under the sun...
They turned around and looked back, sighing and complaining as if they had just had a big argument, clearly not getting along.
Klee ran up and shouted happily.
"It's Brother Kaiya and that strange adult!"
When Kaeya saw Klee and the group behind her, he gave a professional smile and waved.
"Hey! I didn't expect to meet you all in a place like this. What a pleasant surprise!"
The two sides slowly approached...
The troupe leader was puzzled at this moment.
"Kaeya and Diluc-senpai? You're here too?"
At this moment, Barbara, who arrived later, saw the pair of forest fire-and-ice people and looked surprised, saying regretfully:
"Hey...isn't he the Great Demon King?"
How wonderful it would be if he were the Great Demon King!
Just imagining Ms. Alice and Claire reunited and embracing each other is enough to make Barbara write lyrics for dozens of songs overnight while drinking chili juice.
A mother's love, what a beautiful sight!
After hearing Barbara's words, Diluc seemed to understand something and let out a breath, saying:
"The Great Demon King...as expected?"
Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, Kaiya took the initiative to explain why she had come.
"So, you were also invited to this archipelago by that great demon king? What a coincidence, we were too."
Upon hearing this, the troupe leader asked:
"Why did you use the word 'also'...?"
"We'll talk about this later. I want to enjoy the island sunshine first. Hmm... it would be nice to change my clothes. Speaking of clothes... Commander Qin, I didn't expect you to wear this... well, it looks surprisingly good."
"Thank you for the compliment. This outfit was prepared by Lisa."
Kaiya stretched out his arm, which had been soaking in the office and was getting moldy, and began to enjoy it.
At this moment, Paimon asked, "Kaeya, Diluc, did you come by boat? Wasn't there supposed to be a storm and dense fog in the vicinity?"
Upon hearing this, Kaiya shrugged.
"Storm and dense fog? We're lucky; the fog had cleared by the time we arrived, and now it's perfect weather for a vacation. However, as you know, ordinary boats can't get here. We had no choice but to use the same mode of transportation as you."
"Huh?! You guys also rode on Dvalin's back?!"
Seeing Paimon's exaggerated reaction, Diluc, who was usually quiet, finally spoke up.
"Don't be surprised. The flight of a dragon is a very conspicuous event, and the news has already spread throughout the streets and alleys. Rest assured... the people have not seen any people on the dragon's back; they only know that a dragon has been there."
Looking at the simple-minded Barbara, Kaiya chuckled inwardly.
Just thinking about what I'm going to do later and how scared I'll be of the ensemble leader makes me incredibly excited!
After explaining why she had come, Kaiya changed the subject:
"I never imagined that bard possessed the power to summon dragons. He's incredibly skilled. I think..."
(Yes, that's right, I'll stop halfway through my sentence and let you guess...)
Hahaha, if Kaeya, a descendant of the Kanria, were to propose the theory that Venti is the Anemo Archon at this moment, what kind of shock would Barbara's innocent heart experience?
If Qin Qunzhang pretends to reveal the identity of the Wind God, what expression will he show when his sister's Dao heart collapses?
Of course, Kaiya isn't that kind of bad guy; he just likes to joke around. What a smooth-talking old man!
"I think Dvalin must be a big fan of classical melodies."
Upon hearing Kaiya's guess, Barbara suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"
The ensemble leader breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Why does Kaiya always seem to be breathing so heavily when he talks?
Looking at the two brothers standing in the same frame after so long, Qin asked in confusion:
"Excuse me, did you two come together?"
Upon hearing this question, Kaiya burst into laughter.
"Haha, acting leader, you're quite the joker. Do you think I'm the kind of person you'd specifically choose to accompany him?"
Looking at his childhood playmate, now a fellow sufferer, Diluc clicked his tongue in annoyance.
Before he could deny it, Kaiya explained:
"Actually, there were two other people who came to the island with us, but they got separated for various reasons."
Upon hearing this, the ensemble leader asked with suspicion, "Various reasons?"
"Lack of team cohesion, overly strong personalities, etc."
Upon hearing this answer, Yingmei casually put her hands on her hips, grasping the key point.
"So, you've been abandoned?"
"Hahaha, the traveler is so sharp, he spotted the problem right away."
"So, who are the other two people?"
Upon hearing Ying's question, Diluc immediately provided an answer, stopping Kaeya from talking too much.
If Kaiya keeps rambling on, the light novel could probably go on for several chapters already, right?
"Aberdo and Reze."
