Early the next morning, the sea breeze from Liyue blew into the hotel where Ying and Famas lived, and the cool sunshine slowly poured in against the wind. The air was filled with the fragrance of rain, dew and earth, echoing the group's excitement.
The sparrow’s intermittent crisp calls.
Waves of shouts of hawking came to my ears.
The blond girl huddled lazily in the quilt, closed her eyes tightly, and breathed evenly and long.
The light jumped and fell on her trembling eyelashes. She moved her chin and probed into the softness that exuded warmth. Then she pulled the quilt to cover her face. She stretched her hands forward and picked up the four pieces of sleeping clothes.
Paimon was lying on his back with a red fire slime between his legs.
Famas, who was awakened by the turning movement, leaned on the girl's belly, slowly slipped out of Ying's tightly clamped legs, jumped on the bedside table, and helplessly stared at Ying curled up in the quilt,
He could only see Ying's head with messy blond hair, like a rolled up prawn.
After having a fight with Ying last night, Famas stayed in Ying and Paimon's room on the excuse that he had no place to live. Unexpectedly, it suddenly rained heavily at night, and the temperature in Liyue Port dropped instantly.
Unlike Mondstadt, this hotel does not have a fireplace, and the autumn quilt is obviously not enough to resist the sudden cold.
Under Ying's instruction, Famas, the only one who could generate heat, first moved from the floor to the head of the bed, and then from the bedside to the arms of Ying and Paimon.
"Slime is just an elemental creature and has no gender."
With this idea in mind, Ying, who was sleeping in a daze, simply used Farmas as a hot water bottle, stuffed it into a thin quilt, and threw it on the thigh. Little Paimon also stepped on Farmas.
Si, let the entire foot sink into the slime's soft body.
Thus, the night where the three of them huddled together to keep warm began.
When he woke up in the morning, the heavy rain had just subsided. Looking at Liying rolled up into a ball, Famas suddenly felt a little funny, but he still jumped to Liying's pillow and said in a very gentle tone: "Get up, Ying.
”
The pillow sunk slightly, and she felt the warmth and sweet fragrance coming from her side. Ying shrank her head and slowly moved towards where Famas was. She leaned into the warm body of the fire slime,
Subconsciously, I sniffed and smelled the faint fragrance of mint and fire.
Famas stepped back a little, avoiding Ying's face that was getting closer. The slime's round eyes looked down at the blonde girl who was still sleeping soundly. After a moment, he jumped directly on Ying's head.
"Well, it's so noisy..."
Ying moved away the hands holding little Paimon, and grabbed her head as if she was angry. Famas got out of the way in time, and then jumped directly onto Ying's face that had just appeared, blocking it.
The beautiful breathing nose and small mouth.
"Uh...wu..."
Unable to breathe, Ying's face turned red from holding back. Finally, she couldn't help but grab the slime on her face, then suddenly opened the quilt and sat up: "Famas... so annoying!"
Ying, who had just woken up, opened her small mouth and bit Famas hard.
"Hey, hey, Ying, your legs!"
There was no feeling at all. Ying just bit off a small piece of colloid on the outermost layer of Famas's body, but Ying just lifted the quilt and exposed his thigh.
"Ah! Don't look!"
Biting the famas, Ying lowered her head blankly, and suddenly saw the slime slime left on her legs from last night when she fell asleep with the famas in her arms. Her brain that had just woken up became confused again due to shyness, and the girl suddenly covered her head.
After catching Famas' eyes, he pulled the quilt and wrapped himself up, and then quickly ran to the bathroom with bare feet.
On the way, he also fell down because of the slippery slime, which woke up Paimon who was sleeping like a piggy.
When Ying washed the mucus off her legs and the three people dressed neatly walked out of the hotel, her face was still red.
“Ask the store to change the quilt to a thicker one!”
Looking at Famas, who had transformed into a young man with an innocent look on his face, he bit his lower lip and secretly wrote it down.
After having breakfast at Wanmin Hall, the blond girl pulled Famas and walked all the way to the Adventurers Association in Liyue.
After all, since arriving on the continent of Teyvat, the Adventurers Association has been the only place where she can make money. Fortunately, when she left Mondstadt, she had chatted with Miss Catherine of Mondstadt City in advance and got a letter from her.
To be handed over to Miss Catherine in Liyue Port.
Although she was surprised why they were all Miss Catherine, she didn't ask any more questions. However, when she took Famas's hand and came to the Adventurers Association in Liyue, Miss Catherine who was exactly the same as in Mondstadt still scared her.
One jump.
"Toward the stars and the abyss! Welcome to the Adventurers Association."
Miss Catherine, wearing the standard adventurer costume, smiled as always and received the adventurers who came to receive the commission.
"Miss Catherine? This letter should be for you..."
Ying walked up to Catherine of Liyue in a strange way. She really didn't seem to recognize him.
"My letter? Please show it to me."
Catherine, who had short hair, naturally stretched out her hand from the counter, took the letter from the hand, and opened it skillfully to check it.
"Well...you are an adventurer from Mondstadt."
Catherine nodded. She originally wanted to see what Miss Catherine from Mondstadt wrote to Miss Catherine from Liyue, but it seemed not a good habit to peek into other people's letters, so she suppressed her curiosity.
As for Famas, he had already read the contents of the letter with his clairvoyant eyes. It was roughly Ying's identity certificate and some adventures, but it was really not interesting.
"Huh? This is... a dandelion? Why is there such a thing in the letter?"
When Catherine was about to put the envelope away, a dried white dandelion fell out from the edge of the seal.
"Adventurer, did you put the dandelion in it to prove that you came from Mondstadt? You are overthinking it. The information in this letter is enough to prove your identity and origin."
Ying shook his head strangely: "It's not me...could it be Catherine?"
"Catherine? Oh, you are talking about [Catherine of Mondstadt], right?"
Miss Catherine in front of the screen smiled and bent down to pick up the dandelion petals that fell on the ground.
"Why did she put dandelions in it? It's strange...dandelions are not helpful for adventure, but it's not an important thing, don't worry about it."
"Judging from the letter from the Mondstadt Adventurers Association, you are already an experienced adventurer, so you must be ready to face various commissions from the Liyue Adventurers Association."
Catherine took out the Adventurers Association medal representing Liyue from the drawer on the counter and handed it to Ying solemnly.
"Toward the stars and the abyss, a new and great adventure is waiting for you!"
