"Oh, and Klee too, Klee is also worried about you."

Paimon's words reminded Abedo of something, and he looked at the travelers who had just walked over.

"Excuse me, has anyone seen Klee?"

"Brother Abedo!"

Before the words were even finished, the red figure in the distance had already run over.

The little figure rushed to Aberdo's side, still as carefree as ever.

"Brother Abedo, Klee went on adventures to so many places."

"Oh right, and there's also Sister Xiaogong!"

"Yomiya-neechan is amazing! Klee is amazing too! Klee and Yoomiya-neechan together..."

At this point, Klee suddenly covered her mouth.

But seeing Abedo's gaze, Klee cautiously spoke up again.

"I'm sorry, Brother Abedo."

"Klee...Klee and Yoomiya-nee promised to keep it a secret."

Abeldo paid no attention, shifting his gaze away from the girl following behind Klee.

"It's okay."

Abedo patted Klee's head: "We should leave after the Glory Festival."

"And what about Aunt Frey?"

He paused in stroking Klee's head.

"Madam will leave on her own when she wants to."

At this point, Abedo looked again at the girl behind Klee.

"Thank you for taking care of Claire. I hope she didn't cause you any trouble."

"how can that be possible?"

"Klee, no, they were a great help to me."

The girl crouched down and put her arm around Klee's shoulder, her smile as bright as the sunshine.

She stood up and looked at the distant dock. There wasn't a single cloud on the sea, and the sun was rising from the horizon.

The sunlight shone on the sea, then on the sails of the ships, and finally fell obliquely onto those two hands clasped together.

The girl closed her eyes and silently prayed in her heart.

This time, the prayer was not for the god of fireworks, nor for the god of ema (votive plaques), nor for Lord Rai, who ruled Inazuma.

—Anyway...may my brother, the martial arts master, bless me...

A loud shout came from afar, and the ships on the dock slowly lowered their sails.

Ayato finished his milk tea in one gulp and looked at the intelligence report handed to him by his subordinate while standing on the deck.

The intelligence report detailed what happened last night.

[An explosion resembling fireworks was heard over the White Fox Field last night, affecting Inazuma and the surrounding area.]

All soldiers of Inazuma Castle received orders from the general to proceed to White Fox Field to investigate the explosion.

The authenticity of the order is questionable, but the soldiers were obstructed by an unknown force in White Fox Field.

Shortly afterward, the thunderclouds above the castle tower dissipated.

[An investigation revealed that the unidentified force was...]

The shadow blocked the sun overhead, and Ayato's information was about to be completely obscured by the shadow.

Ayato looked up at the object blocking the light.

It was a ship much larger than the others.

The sails of the large ship billowed in the strong wind, revealing the patterns on them.

The ship of the Southern Cross fleet, the Death Star.

Ayato squinted as he watched the Death Star sail past him, as if he were blinded by the sunlight.

"Are they traveling the same way as us?" Ayato asked.

There was no one on the surrounding deck except for Ayato.

But after Ayato finished speaking, a figure appeared behind him.

"Master, from the conversation of the Southern Cross crew, it seems they want to return to Liyue."

Upon hearing this, Ayato looked away and lowered his head to look at the crumpled intelligence report.

“Going back to Liyue... It would be good to go back.”

Ayato laughed, a gentle laugh.

"Oh, by the way, tell Miss that Mu Xian should be back from his mission soon..."

"Brother... will bring him back himself."

after all...

Ayato could sense it.

Since the argument a month ago, my sister has developed a subtle distance from me.

"What a failure..."

"I've always told her that she doesn't need to take on any family responsibilities..."

Muttering to himself, Ayato's smile gradually faded.

Do you know what happened at the castle tower last night?

"What else could it be? It's just a toy fighting with another toy that's been broken."

A skirmisher appeared on the deck with his arms crossed and a sneer on his face.

"Anyway, it's not an important matter for you, so you'd better hurry up and go to Sumeru."

"That fox... is probably already impatient."

...

"Hey kid, we're setting sail."

Beidou wrapped his arms around Mu Xian's neck and pressed his entire upper body against Mu Xian.

"How are you? Missing Liyue?"

Mu Xian didn't speak. He twitched his nose slightly, catching a whiff of the scent emanating from the surroundings.

"you've been drinking?"

Mu Xian looked at Bei Dou, and his cold, emotionless gaze made Bei Dou feel uneasy.

"Aren't we going back now?"

As he spoke, Beidou laughed a few times: "Since we're going back, of course we should have a few drinks beforehand."

"Inazuma's wine is different from Liyue's, and I've made an interesting Mondstadt wine buddy here."

"It's just a pity that he seemed a bit unhappy today, and he didn't even drink much."

"That wasn't enough fun..."

The muttering in his ear annoyed Mu Xian somewhat, since he wasn't curious about how many drinks Bei Dou had had.

Mu Xian took out the fully bloomed prop from his pocket and put it into the box that had been prepared beforehand.

"How long will it take us to get back to Liyue?"

"The weather is so nice today...it will definitely take less time than when we came here."

As he spoke, Beidou patted Muxian on the shoulder: "Looks like you can't wait to go back."

Mu Xian did not deny it; even when looking at the sky, his eyes were still so deep that they could not reflect the light of day.

Can't wait...?

I really can't wait any longer.

Since Hu Tao was injured because of me, I naturally have an obligation to heal her.

Once she's healed, I can then figure out a way to break free from the contract.

-only...

Mu Xian frowned.

He suddenly realized that since coming back to life, he hadn't had many dreams...

"I am a descendant of the Lawrence family, what makes you think you can be my friend?!"

"You idiot, you clearly don't understand anything!!"

"I've already told you, what makes you think you can get close to me?!"

"Get the hell away from me."

...

"What kind of story is this, The Wild Boar Princess? Little Amy, this isn't your book, is it?"

"No, it's...it's that older brother's."

"I knew it! Even little Amy wouldn't read such a childish storybook."

"I think only this guy would like this kind of thing, little Amy, don't you think?"

"Um..."
