Bennett woke up in a daze. The dazzling sunlight shone directly on his eyes, making him dizzy. He stretched out his hand and touched a big bump on his head.
"It's safe."
Lei Ze squatted next to Bennett and helped him block the direct sunlight.
"Wow, Lei Ze, do you mean that you, alone, killed those two ruins guards and saved me? That's amazing, as expected of you!"
Lei Ze lowered his head and smiled with a red face. He was a little embarrassed to tell Bennett the truth.
When he swung his two-handed sword, he forgot about Bennett behind him, and accidentally knocked Bennett unconscious with the hilt of the sword. But it seemed that after Bennett lost consciousness, the bad luck also disappeared, and the two ruins guards spun around.
When they rushed over, they tripped over each other's arms, broke their arms, and fell together in front of Lei Ze.
It took almost no effort to deal with the two disabled ruin guards.
The most effort Lei Ze expended was just to carry the unconscious Bennett out.
"Friends, this is what you should do."
Lei Ze thought for a while and decided not to tell Bennett the truth.
"Okay, let's continue returning to Mondstadt. Although we didn't find any precious treasures, it went smoothly!"
Shunshun...Lili?
Lei Ze pondered over and over whether this word had a second meaning. It is true that complex human language cannot be learned in a short time.
"Wow, Lei Ze, look, the treasure box!"
Before Lei Ze shouted to be careful of the trap, Bennett was already surrounded by two ice abyss mages.
But luckily it's just the Abyss Mage.
Lei Ze held onto his sword, and before he could take a breath, a drop of something cool fell on his forehead.
"Rain..."
On a rainy day, fight the Ice Abyss Mage?
Lei Ze almost couldn't breathe.
The rain was still falling, and Lei Ze and Bennett, who had managed to deal with the Abyss Mage, hid in a cave. The firewood had been soaked by two heavy rains, and even Bennett couldn't make a fire.
More importantly, because of the cold air of the Ice Abyss Mage, Lei Ze seemed to have caught a cold and was sneezing non-stop.
"Sneeze!...It's so cold."
"Eh?"
Bennett glanced at Lei Ze hesitantly, then hesitantly took off the Eye of God, which exuded warmth from his waist, and handed it to Lei Ze.
"Thank you."
I don’t know whether it was because of the emotion or the cold, but Lei Ze was a little out of breath.
"Hey, you don't mind if I talk too much!"
Bennett grinned.
"No."
Lei Ze replied like a sigh.
"You don't dislike me?"
"Yeah."
"Wow! You are indeed my most trustworthy partner!"
Bennett's green eyes are sparkling, and there is an unstoppable smile in his eyes. He has a cute smile, like a lively little rabbit.
Lei Ze's red eyes dimmed for a few moments, and he turned his head to Bennett's eyes.
"Hungry."
Lei Ze frowned and touched his belly.
After experiencing so many "disasters", Lei Ze, who had a large appetite, was very hungry.
"Then let's go directly!"
The raindrops outside the cave gradually became sparse, and Bennett jumped up suddenly, clenching his fists with firm eyes.
On the way to Mondstadt, they experienced many unfortunate events one after another.
The fallen tree trunk hit Bennett, and Lei Ze split it open. They ran into a large group of treasure thieves who were sharing the stolen goods, and Lei Ze protected him. He fell into the river for no reason, and hit a slime while walking.
even got hit on the head by an apple falling from the sky...
"Well, at least the fruit is edible."
Lei Ze comforted Bennett awkwardly.
"But why is this apple still bitten?"
"Everything really happens to me!" Bennett stared at the apple in his hand in annoyance.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry..."
Lei Ze threw the bitten apple into the grass and returned the Eye of God in his hand to Bennett.
"Ha, thanks, Lei Ze."
Lei Ze's actions seemed a bit rude, but Bennett also knew what he meant.
"If you weren't here, my day would be much more difficult."
"I'm here."
"You are really my good partner!"
The two touched their fists and laughed happily.
Relying on Bennett's astonishing perseverance and Razer's patience, the two finally set foot on the Mondstadt bridge. With excitement, Bennett carried a large bag of hook nuts and began to imagine what he would get in exchange for completing the commission.
Mora, what can I buy for dads?
And the half-box of Mora found with Kelly.
"You can give Daddy Baker a new pair of shoes, and the cane that Daddy Chris has always wanted..."
Bennett hummed a little tune and came to the city gate to say goodbye to Lei Ze.
"Leizer, Mondstadt has arrived. I'm going to find Miss Catherine to deliver the commission. You..."
Bennett slapped his head.
"Why do you want to come to Mondstadt?"
"I..."
Originally, Reize came to find Famas, but when he saw the Mondstadt people with smiles on their faces, he turned his head in confusion.
"I, just, want to wander around."
The wolf boy lowered his head and said nothing. He clenched his hands into fists and put them by his side, as if he was suppressing something.
"Are you... okay?"
Bennett looked at Lei Ze who was looking down strangely, and curiously put his head under his face to see what he was doing.
"Leize, let's take risks together next time!"
Lei Ze just stared blankly at the passers-by.
Noticing Lei Ze's demeanor, Bennett took his hand.
"Let's go find Miss Catherine together!"
Under the sun, dandelions were dancing in the air of Mondstadt that was full of sweet wine smell, and the two teenagers walked towards the Adventurers Association.
