[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone

Joy is contagious, and Villette curled up the corners of her lips unconsciously.

My heartbeat seems to speed up again...

he thinks.

But at this moment, the two of them were sitting on opposite sides of the table, not holding hands like before.

So what is the reason this time?

Navillatte couldn't figure it out, but he knew it felt good.

Whether it's holding hands or something else.

In the end, Chloe still didn't expose this beautiful lie, but with Villette's company, the cake that originally tasted strange didn't seem so difficult to swallow.

After enjoying this unexpected afternoon tea, the two returned to Chloe's home together.

But Villette didn't expect that on the first day, she would run into a sneaky guy at the door.

At that time, Chloe had to ask him to wait here for a while, because she remembered that she had given all the dried fish as a reward to the little sea otter last time, and the stock at home was seriously depleted. She returned to the pet shop the same way.

Looking at the two people standing by a street lamp not far away, who were dressed warmly and even wearing masks and hats for disguise, Villette's eyes darkened.

That Villette rarely did things herself.

After all, he holds the title of Supreme Judge, and usually matters are handled directly by the Shadow Chasing Court, but this does not mean that he is really a weak civil servant.

Just like now.

There was no one around, so Villette didn't have to worry about whether his actions would hurt innocent passers-by. A stream of water gushed out from his raised hand and went straight towards the two men.

The speed was so fast that even if they heard the noise behind them, they only had time to turn around and could only watch the water column approach them.

But after all, he is just a suspicious person, there is no need to kill him.

The raised palm turned over again and covered it, and the water column also changed in response to Villette's movements. It automatically dispersed when it touched their bodies, condensing into ropes that tied the two people tightly and dragged them in front of him.

"I'm sorry, both of you." The man's voice was clear and full of inviolable majesty. "Can you please tell me why you are here dressed like this?"

If possible, Villette didn't want these people to come specifically to follow Chloe and attack her.

However, the expressions of the two men instantly turned into fear when they saw him, and they even hugged each other before he actually made a move, looking like they had done something wrong.

That Villette's expression became even colder.

Before he could do anything else, he heard the brisk footsteps of a girl behind him.

Due to the angle, Chloe could only see Villette's back and two pieces of clothing exposed at his feet. It was obvious that there were two unknown guys kneeling in front of him.

"So Lord Villette, what's going on?"

She quickened her pace and walked towards here.

When they heard her voice, the two men who had been kneeling obediently became excited for some reason. They used their hands and feet to get up from the ground and rushed towards her, shouting Chloe's name.

Looks like you know each other?
The sudden change made Villette's expression freeze.

Would he kidnap the wrong person again like he did before when he misjudged the little sea otter’s emotions?

As it turned out, he was wrong again. The two of them rushed to Chloe and quickly hid behind her, just like chicks hiding behind their mother hen.

Chloe pulled them out from behind with a helpless look on her face: "Mom and Dad, how old are you? Why are you still acting like a joke?"

Dad? Mom?
That Villette's expression became even stiffer.

But Chloe didn't have time to pay attention to him for the time being. Instead, she looked at her parents' strange outfits and complained, "Why are you dressed like this?"

Although she didn't see what happened just now, she could guess what happened just by thinking about it.

If he came to see her dressed like this during such a critical moment, wouldn't it be easy for Villette to think he was up to no good?

Fortunately, Villette didn't do anything cruel...

After carefully checking to make sure that both of them were fine except for being a little frightened, Chloe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chloe's mother, Mrs. Durand, was in tears. She secretly glanced at the ferocious (?) Supreme Inquisitor over there and cried softly, "Wow, baby, why didn't you tell us earlier that Master Villette was with you?"

Chloe held her forehead and sighed, "You said you were going out to do business, but you didn't come back for a long time? How can I contact you?"

*
Chloe, whose full name is Chloe Durand, is the only daughter of the Durand family, a legendary merchant family in Fontaine.

As for why it is called a legend——

Well, because the Durands are not cut out for business.

To use Chloe's words, these two people are full of pure stupidity. The only reason they haven't lost money so far is that they are lucky and have met good people.

However, after Mr. Cares, who had helped them a few years ago, died due to public opinion, the two saw through the indifference of the people of Fontaine and chose to venture out and try their luck.

Judging from the living expenses Chloe gets every month, they should be doing pretty well.

But Chloe couldn't help but worry that they would be cheated and go bankrupt, so she chose to become a rehabilitation officer.

With a stable job like this with high salary, she can still support the whole family even if they go bankrupt and return home in disgrace. It can be said that she has good intentions.

*
Now, seeing her parents whom she had not seen for a long time, Chloe also remembered this matter and asked half-doubtfully: "Are you bankrupt or in trouble?"

She had only said half of her words when Mrs. Durand began to shush her.

Mr. Durand, who had been standing aside pretending to be reserved, now beckoned her to come closer and talk.

Chloe looked at Villette not far behind her and couldn't help but waved: "Master Villette, can you wait for me here for a while?"

"Of course," Navrette replied.

However, since the matter of the pure white lily of the valley had not been resolved, Chloe did not go too far.

But even so, the Durands felt a lot more relieved and started to talk about the reason why they came here. But they didn't expect that as soon as they opened their mouths, they would reveal a shocking secret.

"Baby, it seems we have done something wrong in Liyue—"
