[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone
Chapter 40 Bet
After a brief self-introduction, the Meilushin visiting team headed towards Melo Petersburg in a mighty procession.
The starting point was Fontaine. On the way to Ilie Island, Melusin, who was visiting for the first time, curiously asked about the situation inside Melo Petersburg.
As the main person in charge of this event, Wentala did his best to introduce them.
Leosli was originally worried that she would not be able to adapt to such a job, so he specially accompanied her here. After all, from daily perspective, Wintara was not a talkative person, and it could even be said that she had a very low emotional intelligence, and what she said was totally unpleasant. Unexpectedly, now it seems that it was his own stereotype.
Ventara was unexpectedly suited to the job.
Her voice was not as shrill as those of other girls her age, but rather deep, which made it very suitable for introducing things to others. She was also very patient in the face of the chattering questions from the Meilushins, answering them one by one, using polite and appropriate words, which was completely different from when she was arguing with him.
Leosley couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
So that bit of low EQ was simply because I was too lazy to give him a perfunctory response?
But he soon came to his senses. Isn't it love if Ventara is only willing to treat him perfunctorily?
The Duke said he would accept no other answer.
Ventara sneezed and felt a chill on her back for some unknown reason.
She rubbed the goose bumps on her arms, feeling as if someone was talking about her behind her back.
As the culprit, Leosli not only had no sense of responsibility, but also thought that the wind on the patrol boat was too strong, so he took off his coat and put it on her.
The wind on the patrol boat was really strong. She was wearing the clothes that Leosley had prepared for her in the manor today, a red and black dress that just reached her knees.
In order to facilitate work, Wentara usually wears the simplest tops and pants. She hasn't worn such a skirt for a long time. It is inevitable that she is a little uncomfortable with the coolness underneath. This coat is just right for her.
Thinking this way, she did not refuse and whispered thank you.
Seqi took in the whole scene, and her eyes lit up as if she had thought of something.
The rest of the journey was very quiet. We took the elevator behind the Opikle Opera House and arrived at Melo Petersburg smoothly. The head nurse Sigwen, who was in charge of the reception, was already waiting there.
"Good morning, Duke, Ventara, and everyone!" It was a rare occasion for her to see her fellow friends. Sigwen looked very happy, and even her voice of greeting was full of energy.
The enthusiastic Melusins responded happily and soon formed a circle.
After sending the person there, Leosli and Ventara's mission was completed. The head nurse would explain to them one by one what they needed to pay attention to next.
Feeling that nothing was wrong, Ventara was about to leave with Leosli, but was suddenly stopped.
"Wentala," Sigwen ended her whisper with Seqi and turned to her, "Can you come over here for a moment? I have something to tell you."
Ventara looked at Sigwen who was full of expectation, then looked at Leosli who had a clear expression as if he knew something, and walked over in confusion.
As soon as she walked up to Sigwen, she was surrounded by the Meluseens.
Se-ki in the middle coughed in a serious manner, feeling a little embarrassed about what she was going to say next, and awkwardly stood there for a while.
Just at this moment, the chance to speak was taken away by Sigwen who was already impatient.
The head nurse grabbed Ventara's hand, her eyes eager: "Ventara, can you do us a favor?"
"Ok?"
Ventara was at a loss.
Sigwen took out a sticker from her bosom and handed it to her expectantly. The pattern on it was very simple, probably homemade, and it was a stick figure of her own.
"Hehe, this is probably a little game between us Melusin." Sigwen scratched her head embarrassedly, "We made a bet to see who can secretly put more stickers on the Duke's body."
"Does the Duke know about this?" Ventara subconsciously looked in the direction of Leosli, but found that the man had left at some point. He must have expected that Sigwen and the others were going to talk about this matter, and consciously did not come to disturb them.
As expected, Seulgi gave her a positive answer.
"The Duke knows everything! He also promised us that he would fulfill one of the winner's wishes, but..." Seulgi changed the subject, her tone quite resentful, "It's as if he has a pair of eyes on his back. Every time we sneak up on him, he can find us immediately, and there is no chance for us to put stickers on us!"
In order not to spoil their fun, Leosley would randomly pick a lucky person each time and turn a blind eye to letting her stick one on her coat.
The Melusens are a simple and kind race, and their wishes are often very simple. He doesn't mind fulfilling them for them.
Oh, except the head nurse's.
Sigwen always tried to make him taste various nutritional shakes, which made him completely afraid to let her win.
"This is so boring." Seulgi complained.
As the only victim, Sigwen nodded in agreement: "So this time we want to compete more seriously! I must let the Duke drink my newest flavor of milkshake!"
Several weeks had passed since the last time the Duke agreed to drink it, and her milkshake had gone through several iterations, each of which required the Duke to provide valuable tasting experience!
The head nurse's strategy was to use the hand of Ventara, who was closer to Leosley, to secretly put the sticker representing herself on him when he didn't expect it.
This is what Seulgi wanted to say at first, but unfortunately she was a step too late and could only look at her with her stickers in her hands. The same was true for the other Mirusin.
Sigwen, who was one step ahead of them, thought she had won and had already started thinking about how to mention her wish so that she could trick the Duke into drinking all the milkshakes.
However, her wish was shattered the next second.
"I'm sorry, Sigwen, I can't help you." Ventara rubbed the head nurse's head, "If you want to fight seriously, you can't ask for help from outsiders."
The other Melusins nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Senior Sigwen, don't cheat!"
"Well……"
Sigwen lowered her head in disappointment and had to give up. The next second, she heard Ventara say seriously, "Besides, I also want to join your game."
"Huh?" Everyone was shocked.
Ventara calmly asked them for tools to make stickers: "This game is quite interesting, isn't it?"
Sigwen was speechless. You look expressionless, and you don't look like someone who finds this game interesting at all...
But no matter what she thought, she still gave her the tools.
Ventara casually sketched a puppy on the paper, and the surrounding Melusins immediately recognized who it was. They were a little bit unbelievable: "Is this the Duke? The ears are exactly the same! But why make so many stickers? One is enough."
Because according to convention, in the end only one sticker will successfully fall on the Duke because of his cooperation.
"No," Ventara bit the pen, her eyes full of confidence, "They will all fall where they should go."
*
Nearly an hour had passed when Ventara returned to the Duke's office, and even the black tea that Leosley had prepared for her had grown a little cold.
He poured another cup without much concern: "Why are you back so late?"
"Hmm...I found something interesting." Ventara responded vaguely.
Leosley had already guessed what she was talking about, and sighed, "Ha, they really enjoy sticking those little things on me."
"You don't like it?" Ventara felt that he quite enjoyed teasing Meilushin.
"I don't hate them, and I never feel bothered." Leosley chuckled, "The Meluseens are all very cute, and the way they secretly compete for the outcome of this bet is even cuter."
Ventara knew that he was just having a bad taste, and of course, so was she.
She touched the sticker in her coat pocket, looking forward to Leosley's expression when he found out that he was also involved in this game.
Leosley noticed her little action and teased, "You like my coat very much? Didn't you say that our relationship should be kept secret? Now you are walking around outside wearing my coat all the time. Aren't you afraid that others will talk about it?"
"They wouldn't dare." Ventara glanced at him, as if asking how he could think that anyone would dare to gossip about her after such intimidation.
By the way, I seemed to have seen Durr when I came back just now.
She had previously greeted Elward, the owner of the Tattered Bone Shop, and was willing to pay twice the price to buy anything Durr wanted to buy. As a result, that guy has not been able to buy a single denture until now, and can only wander around with an empty mouth.
A living signboard, blatant intimidation, I guess no one in the entire Melo Petersburg dares to mess with her now.
But she still remembered what Leosley had told her, that bad things should not be mentioned, so she did not explain it too clearly, and instead answered another question: "Your coat is very comfortable, I really like it."
Leosili didn't expect her to say that, so he simply pulled her into his arms and sat down: "Believe me, my arms will definitely be more comfortable than this thin coat."
Words are a means to an end, and Ventara knows this well.
"Then I'll have to trouble the Duke to lend me his arms." She did not refuse, but softened her voice and responded.
A polite word can make the "enemy" relax his vigilance, and if it is accompanied by gentle actions -
Ventara quietly took out the stickers from her pocket, hid them in her sleeves, then unbuttoned her coat and put it on Leosley.
Due to the limitations of her current posture, this action was a little difficult. She had to put her arms around Leosley's waist to put on his coat, which seemed a little heavy because of the many decorations hanging on it. But this was exactly what Ventara wanted.
She put the sticker representing herself on the back of the man's waist.
Everything was done silently, and Leosli didn't notice it at all.
He just helped to adjust the position of the coat so that the decorations would not hit the person in his arms.
Ventara liked his thoughtfulness, so she kissed him as a reward.
Of course, she took this opportunity to put another sticker in another secret place.
Well, the beauty trap has always been the most tried and tested trick since ancient times -
