Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Navelette had to admit that Sue was a bit hard to appease when she was angry.

After taking Sue to collect pearls from deep-sea oysters, visiting the otter's habitat to pet the otter, organizing a grand parade of marine life, and lending her his tail to slide down the slide, Navelette finally saw the girl's smile again.

Having successfully completed the dragon slide, Sue slid down Villette's tail once again. As she reached the tip of the tail, the ornate fins caught her and gave her a push, propelling her high into the air.

The girl's graceful turns in the water resembled the delicate dance of a water sprite, Navelette thought as she sat among the coral reefs.

Su, who had flown away and then turned back, once again admired the beauty of the Water Dragon Fish, Navelette.

He really looks like an illustration from a fairy tale!

Just by casually sitting there, ordinary coral is transformed into an exquisitely carved throne, displaying the majesty and splendor of the sea god.

I really want to capture this beauty that transcends human limits and keep it as a memento. I wish I had a camera that could withstand the pressure of deep-sea water.

Seeing Sue's smile fade, Navelette immediately asked her with concern what was wrong.

Upon learning that the girl regretted not being able to capture his beauty, Navelette chuckled with slight satisfaction, "Then, gaze at me more."

More than a photographic record, he wanted to be captured in her eyes and in her heart.

Sue estimated the time and said, "Next time, Paimon told me to go home earlier."

She still needs to go find Funina to play with after dawn, so she needs to get some rest early.

“…” Navelette nodded helplessly, put her arm around Sue’s waist, and led her to float on the sea.

With a splash, the two people who had broken through the waves returned to the reef.

“Such a change in form will take some time,” Navelette said goodbye to Sue. “You go back first, and be careful on the road.”

Sue couldn't take her eyes off Villette, who was sitting cross-legged on the reef drying her tail. "The sapphire of the deep sea has a unique beauty under the starlight!"

Before "The Sapphire of the Deep Sea" could say anything about the girl's repeated pleas, Su offered, "You can't walk right now, let me take you home."

Navilette: "No need...."

Before Villette could finish speaking, Sue, full of energy, scooped him up in a princess carry with a "whoosh!"

Navelle:...

Suddenly I understand how Sora felt when they attacked the Star-Devouring Whale.

"Uh...it doesn't seem like it will work." Sue looked at Vilette's fishtail that was dragging on the ground and said, "Your tail is really long."

It was so long that even when she picked it up, a long section still drooped to the ground.

She really couldn't bear to see Violet's scales, which shone brighter than jewels, and her silky fins, which looked like they were formed from the purest seawater frozen in moonlight, dragging awkwardly on the ground, as if she were destroying a treasure.

Sue looked around, then picked up Navelette and placed him on a protruding rock, summoning water to help him wash his tail.

Navelette looked at the busy girl and said, "No need to work so hard, the tail won't get dusty or sandy."

“I know,” Su said without looking up, “I’m just pretending to be busy.”

I pretended to be busy because I wanted to admire the rare Arowana Navelette one more time.

Also, she had some things she wanted to say to Navelette.

“I’ve made up my mind,” Sue unconsciously tugged at a small piece of Vilette’s fin, “If… if you find the Seven Gods, you must prove yourselves to each other through battle…”

"Then let's do it this way, I won't stop you."

"Because you are all my friends, and I believe you know what you're doing."

“But if you are going to fight Nasita, I will help her.”

She wasn't worried about Ying and Zhongli because they were strong enough.

I'm not worried about Wendy either, because he's smart and will definitely get Tvalin involved.

But Narcida, her little and gentle best friend, is not a god of combat and has not honed her combat skills. She will definitely suffer a great loss if she faces Navelette!

After hearing her words, Navelette reached out and guided the girl to place her hand from his crumpled fins into his palm.

“Even if there is a day when she will be judged, I acknowledge the sense of responsibility of the God of Plants and Trees, and I feel very sorry for her experience.”

"Therefore I promise you that the judgment of the Grass God will be conducted in your presence, and there will be no execution-like act."

Sue held Violet's hand tightly for a long time before letting go. "Thank you, Violet... You are really, really kind."

He couldn't quickly understand the complex and contradictory emotions of humans, but he could always feel the various emotions involved.

Beneath Navisette's cold and sharp exterior lies a kind and compassionate heart.

Moreover, he is already understanding the Seven Gods.

It’s stable!

Sue now felt full of strength. "Come on, Vilette, I'll take you back to Momang Palace!"

As long as she carries Navelette back, Navelette's tail won't drag on the ground anymore, perfect solution!

“…” Navelette looked at her fishtail and half-wet shirt. “Thank you for your kindness, but I would like to stay here and enjoy the breeze and the sea breeze.”

His return to Mo Mang Palace in this form would frighten not only passersby but also the night watchmen.

Navelette stopped the girl from helping him dry his hair and clothes. "Actually, I really like the feeling of being soaked in water, although I don't usually have the chance to do so."

Sue recalled the widely circulated rumor in Fontaineble that "the Supreme Judge has the strange habit of not using an umbrella on rainy days."

“I really can’t do anything with you, so I’ll head back now,” Sue waved goodbye to Vilette. “Let’s get soaked in the rain together sometime, I’ll bring the big umbrella you gave me.”

“Then it’s a deal,” Navelette smiled. “Also, this is for you.”

——*——*——

"So tonight, Vilette not only gave you this water-type God's Eye, but also this mermaid blanket?" Paimon asked, looking at Sue who was lying on the bed wagging her tail.

Su: "Uh...yes!"

She didn't want to lie, but Villette had instructed her not to reveal his "new form."

Perhaps the mermaid form does indeed somewhat undermine the seriousness of the Supreme Judge of Fontainebleau.

Actually, she felt a little embarrassed to receive so many gifts from Violet all at once.

But Vilett said that the Eye of God, which contained his blessing, was a way of thanking them for saving Fontaine, and that Sora was also protected by the ancient dragon.

Transforming into a mermaid form to show her was to fulfill the promise he had made earlier.

This mermaid blanket was a gift he personally presented.

Paimon looked at the gorgeous mermaid tail blanket with its pink and purple gradient and said, "It is indeed quite beautiful and unique."

If she and Su had seen such a beautiful blanket while shopping, they would definitely have bought it! But they had never seen one before…

"So this was specially made by Vilette, right? He's so thoughtful! Su, did you thank him properly?"

Su: "Yes, yes, yes... Of course I thanked you properly!"

Moreover, she praised Villette for a very long time, almost exhausting her vocabulary!

Who would have thought that Navisette, who seems so serious, aloof, and detached from worldly affairs, is actually incredibly skilled at handicrafts?

It cannot be said that the mermaid tail blanket was actually woven by Navelette, because it would further undermine Navelette's authority as the Supreme Judge of Fontaine!

Paimon let out a long "Hmm?" and asked, "Why are you stuttering so much tonight?"

"Huh? Uh, I guess I was too focused on admiring the new blanket!" Sue changed the subject. "Paimon, why don't you try it on? It's really comfortable!"

Paimon looked at the girl who was propping her face up with her hands, raising her legs, and swishing her tail with a "splashing" sound. "You really look like a mermaid."

“But I don’t need to,” Paimon declined Sue’s invitation.

This blanket was clearly custom-made to Su's height. If she lay down in it, she wouldn't be able to play the mermaid; she'd probably look like an unlucky soul being snatched up by a big fish.
