"Until then, you must take good care of your sword, okay? If I steal it one day, your life will be in my hands."
These are lines from the character Miss Ossiez, whom Ayaka cosplayed, but the way she says them now is rather intriguing.
Pointing to your heart and saying you're stealing it, what exactly are you trying to steal?
Readers felt they understood; what Ayaka meant was: "Let's start a game?"
It's a pity we can't start a game. Before they could even exchange a few words, Paimon urged them on, saying:
"Hey, what are you two doing walking so slowly, and what are you two talking about together?"
The pleasant atmosphere was abruptly disrupted; at this moment, Paimon's brightness surpassed even the sunlight of the twilight that followed.
Paimon was naive, but Ayaka and the Traveler were much more sensible. They didn't tell Paimon about what they had just been talking about, but instead brushed it off.
Paimon had no doubts and left first. After Paimon left, Ayaka looked back at the Traveler again.
The setting sun was in the frame, shining brightly behind Ayaka, but its radiance was ultimately no match for Ayaka's glance back at that moment.
[Ayaka winked playfully and said, "Traveler, keep what I just said a secret, okay?"]
She blinked! She even winked while saying that.
The reader feels that the 'heart' that Ayaka just pointed at has been stolen. Logically speaking, isn't this what lesbianism is all about?
Ayato was quite pleased. "Not bad, not bad, my sister has made a good friend."
The story ends here; it's a very short story, but Ayaka's fans thoroughly enjoyed it.
Not only are the new clothes beautiful, but there's also a moment at the end where he turns around and winks. All I can say is that Mr. Abedo really knows his stuff; he's such a great artist!
Unsurprisingly, Ayaka's home will soon have two more display spaces for her illustrations.
Furthermore, the interactions between the traveler and Ayaka clearly conveyed an attitude of 'this is our little secret'.
This made some people lying in bed reading novels unconsciously twist their bodies, with maternal smiles on their faces.
Don't get me wrong, they are not lesbians, nor do they like lesbians. They just think that the friendship between girls is so wonderful.
Chapter 887 Swimming and Brewing Poetry
Having discussed the reactions of bystanders, we must now turn to the reaction of the protagonist of this story—Ayaka herself.
Her feelings after reading this story were rather complicated; she's not actually someone who likes to show off.
Wearing new clothes and showing them off in front of others is nothing unusual for her; as an ambassador, she's long been used to this kind of display. What really evoked her emotions was her interaction with travelers.
This little interaction was seen by the whole world. To anyone with eyes to see, the girl's thoughts were completely out of the ordinary. This was just too embarrassing!
More importantly, because of Lin Qiu's presence in this offline world, he often uses his abnormal teleportation ability to organize gatherings, which has resulted in Ayaka having quite a few friends.
Moreover, these friends were mutual friends of hers and the traveler. Just thinking that all her friends had seen it made Linghua feel her face getting hotter.
That's why in Teyvat, if Ayaka were on Earth, she'd have to be called "Sister XX".
Also, it's fortunate that Yingmei is a girl, otherwise Ayato's temperature would have risen as well.
The other protagonist of this story, Yingmei, doesn't seem to have much to say about the story, because all she can think about right now is the water in Fontainebleau.
Ah! The ocean, you are all water!
Ah~! A strategy guide? Where the hell is this?
Exploring the sea is a bit difficult because it also has a Y-axis. The locations marked in Lin Qiu's guide are likely in the cave below or in some seaweed above. Troublesome, I'll have to use my brain.
Perhaps next time we should have Lin Qiu ask Abedo to turn the strategy guide into an animated, real-time explanation.
The traveler's adventure in Fontainebleau has just begun, and it's going to be quite demanding. During this time, she hasn't left the underwater area much, only returning to Lin Qiu's house during her rest periods.
Compared to the 'unromantic' traveler, Chiori really enjoyed the story.
Ayaka's clothes are really nice, and more importantly, Ayaka is perfect as a model! It makes Chiori a little itchy to try it herself.
Chiori herself is an Inatsume-no-hime and lives in Fontaine. This kind of story about dressing an Inatsume-no-hime in Fontaine clothing makes Chiori a little envious.
Why not ask Lin Qiu if we can get the people from different countries to put on a fashion show in other countries' clothes?
Lin Qiu would definitely agree to this request, because he also enjoys watching it.
Speaking of new clothes, I have to mention Hu Tao! Hey! The next story to be released in half a month is Hu Tao's story.
So, can Walnut's new clothes be unveiled now? No, they can't.
Because this story is called "Swimming in the Water to Brew Poetry," and Hu Tao appears in this story, but Hu Tao did not change into a new outfit this time.
As for the New Year's storyline involving Hu Tao changing clothes, it will be shown later. It's only the end of November now, so the New Year's story will have to wait until the New Year.
This story can serve as a good prelude; the lighthearted and fun daily life, and the carefree Hu Tao, can make the sacrifice that follows seem even more heroic.
Even if you get stabbed, you'll still remember Hu Tao's happy smile in this story; that's what makes you vulnerable to being stabbed.
This story is a novel, which was completed a long time ago, but it hasn't been released yet.
So what is this story about? First, the traveler arrives at Wangshu Inn and then meets Wendy, Xiao's savior, and Kurumi, the social killer.
Seeing Kurumi in Liyue is not surprising, nor is seeing Venti in Liyue.
Well, it feels strange that Wendy appears anywhere; readers have gotten used to it, and it doesn't seem odd to them where he appears.
I was surprised not to see Xiao at Wangshu Inn, since he was supposed to be refreshing here.
On second thought, these two were standing on the top of Wangshu Inn, no wonder he didn't see Xiao here. He was too busy running away, afraid of being caught.
So what exactly were they talking about? Hu Tao provided the answer:
[“Heh heh, we were talking about a traveler and her companion who traveled to many countries, made many friends, went far and wide, and faced many dangers and near-death experiences…”]
Nine times out of ten, that's a close call, and Hu Tao is actually quite nice; she really cares about travelers.
Hu Tao is quite a genius; his words are convoluted and pieced together, trying to tell the story of the traveler from all over the world. Unfortunately, he can't explain the hardships of his journey in just a few words.
Upon seeing her own appearance, Hu Tao was puzzled. "I just finished speaking and you've already written it? Is it that fast?"
She was unaware that the story truly prepared for her had not yet been released.
Unlike Hu Tao's confusion, her sudden witty remark about numbers one to ten caught the attention of the other viewers. Had Hu Tao been secretly studying lately? Her skills seemed to have improved!
Unfortunately, while the witty remarks were quite good, they didn't really capture the hardships the traveler endured along the way.
Since it's unclear, then let's not talk about it. So Wendy, who was standing to the side, took over the conversation and said:
"Recently, there was fine wine and delicious food at Shimenxia. Everyone drank eight cups and seven goblets, and wrote six lines and five poems. You, who have traveled far and wide, must be able to guess what kind of event it was from these few words, right?"
Wendy used a pun on "ten" and "nine" this time, and puns are punishable by a fine! Looks like she lost to Walnut by one point.
However, Talia and Barbara didn't think so. They only thought that the Wind God was too talented, with clear logic and precise language!
Ah~! Lord Barbatos~!
But to others, the way these two were talking was clearly not normal; they were definitely plotting something. The traveler guessed the content of their plan based on their words.
The traveler exclaimed, "A counting contest!"
Genius! Seeing through the surface of the problem to the truth! No wonder he's a traveler.
Unfortunately, the answer was wrong. The correct answer was "Poetry Competition." It's a pity, I was just a little short.
This poetry competition was jointly founded by Mondstadt and Liyue, so this story is not only about Liyue, but also about Mondstadt.
After the story of Inazuma comes the story of Liyue and Mondstadt, which is so nostalgic.
The poetry competition piqued Manyo's interest; it was more interesting to him than the martial arts contest on Inazuma's side, and he watched it with greater focus.
The poetry competition is called "A Gathering of Poets from Two Countries to Share a Joyful Talk," a name that is both specific and abstract, clearly reflecting Hu Tao's naming style.
Indeed, that was the case; she was the one who organized the entire event, traveling back and forth between the Seven Stars and the Knights of Favonius.
It can only be said that the head of the Wangsheng Hall has a lot of influence; even the officials of two countries have to give him some face.
During that dinner at the Lantern Festival, when Walnut and Wendy were saying goodbye, they said: "Let's write poetry together sometime."
Unexpectedly, Hu Tao actually made it happen; she wasn't just being polite.
She was indeed quite impolite; it was one thing to target the Seven Stars, but she even went so far as to target the Knights of Favonius.
Even more outrageous, the Knights of Favonius actually agreed.
Chapter 888 The Competition of 'Masters'
However, these two are not here to exchange poems, but to invite a special guest.
[Xiao: "...I already said I'm not going."]
The word "魈" means: Please let me go.
Suddenly, Xiao's stunningly handsome face appeared in the illustration. He stood on the roof with his arms crossed, and it was unclear whether he had been standing there blankly since earlier.
It turns out that the special guest that Kurumi and Wendy were looking for was Xiao. But won't they get beaten up for doing that? After all, they're looking for Xiao (to shave).
Xiao said: Your sudden text message caught me off guard; I stood there stunned.
While everyone else is happy for you, I'm the only one who's truly awake; thank you for the special invitation, but I won't go.
Not going? The readers didn't believe he wouldn't go.
Don't you even know who these two are? Who knows what kind of crazy ideas these two lousy subordinates might come up with when they're together?
Last time, Xiao couldn't handle it on his own, let alone now that there's Venti too. We haven't even repaid the favor from the Wind God yet.
[But Xiao's refusal was justified: "I have never written poetry, let alone offered commentary. Besides, I am burdened with karmic obstacles and am most averse to crowded and noisy places, as you all know."]
The meaning of 魈 is: I am a military general, but I am not good with words.
Hu Tao comforted him, "Even if you can't be there in person, it would be good to watch the excitement from a nearby hilltop."
[The traveler chimed in: "Let's have some fun together!"]
Putting aside Walnut's words of comfort, the traveler's words carried considerable weight, probably as much as the desolate star in Xiao's heart.
So when Ying also invited him, his tough attitude softened a bit.
Xiao thought for a moment and replied, "I'll consider it."
Xiao didn't know that because of those four words, "I'll consider it," many people would search every mountain in Liyue for a chance to see him during future events.
Unfortunately, their efforts were in vain; they couldn't find the demon at all.
After solving the problem of finding Xiao, Kurumi reminds the traveler that there are many friends at the venue, and he can go and take a look.
As for the two of them, they plan to discuss the 'opening poem' again, so they can make a dazzling entrance.
The traveler left Wangshu Inn and went to Shimen, so what were the two of them still discussing?
[Hu Tao said, "How about we make a 'bang' first, then a 'slurp'! And finally a 'whistle'—get it?"]
Wendy nodded: "I'll get to know."
The reader is puzzled: No, what did I understand? Was that passage even spoken in plain language?
Talia and Barbara exclaimed in admiration, "As expected of the Wind God, he can understand even this! He's so great!"
There was one person who understood Walnut's description of radio waves, and that was Niu Niu Valesa.
Isn't this exactly how I make my entrance? First, I land with a "thud," then I unleash a flying kick, and finally, I raise my arms in a heroic pose with a "whistle"! Perfect!
The description of walnuts is quite 'vivid', but unfortunately, only a minority can truly understand them; most people simply don't understand and choose to turn the page.
Even if I don't understand what she's saying, do I not understand what she's doing? I can just watch what she's going to do next!
In the story, the traveler arrives at Stonegate, the border between Liyue and Mondstadt, where the event will be held.
The first pair of contestants we met here were Xingqiu and Chongyun. It wasn't surprising that Xingqiu came; it was clear that he enjoyed these literary activities.
But would Chongyun be interested in this kind of competition? It shouldn't be.
On the contrary, Xiangling, didn't she want to study last Chinese New Year? Why didn't she come?
Is the friendship between you four too crowded? All three of you came but didn't invite Xiangling along.
I guess Xiangling really wasn't interested; she was still more interested in cooking.
