The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Fortunately, Ningguang was worried that the situation would escalate, so she ordered the area to be sealed off. Otherwise, these stories might be circulating throughout the streets of Liyue right now.

Even so, the mass disappearance of living people after the Lunar New Year still made headlines in the newspapers.

Because those profit-driven reporters were so annoying, Ying and I had no choice but to go to Chengehu to avoid the limelight.

And then I ran into a guy who spends all his time slacking off and hiding from his debts here...

"Uh..."

Sirin looked at Paimon with an embarrassed expression.

Although I don't really want to admit it, I have to say that I also bear some responsibility for this.

So being brought up suddenly now... is a little awkward.

"I see... I really felt bad for you guys back then."

Kiana smiled and extended her hand to shake Paimon's.

"Hmph! Of course, I don't know how much trouble it was for you to leave suddenly. Anyway, Ying and I were driven crazy by those reporters."

"Haha...but with your skills, you still managed to solve the problem in the end."

Paimon and Kiana greeted each other, while Sirin watched the interaction from the side.

After a moment, finding it rather uninteresting, she slowly turned her gaze to Wendy beside her...

At this very moment, the wind god, who always liked to slack off, was still playing his harp.

It seemed that everything here had nothing to do with him, and he didn't even care what he thought of him.

What stands out is their fearlessness, which is quite frustrating.

Could it be that he...?

Xilin lowered her head and touched her chin, her eyes revealing wariness and confusion.

"Paimon, how did you find this place? I don't remember telling you the exact location, did I?"

Kiana's questioning voice interrupted her thoughts, forcing her to look back at everyone.

"We didn't know where you were either. We just wanted to help you take care of things." Paimon rubbed his hands together, looking embarrassed.

This makes one wonder if she has something to hide that she hasn't made public.

result...

Paimon.

Ying slowly stepped forward and delivered a karate chop to her travel companion's head.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

Paimon covered his forehead, glaring at Ying with a displeased expression.

"He clearly meant to say he wanted to come in and see if there was anything good to eat, but now he's saying this..."

Ying glared at Paimon with a fierce look, mercilessly exposing her travel companion's deception.

Kiana was quite surprised by such righteous and stern words.

"Okay, okay~ I was wrong, alright?"

After being reprimanded by Ying, Paimon immediately gave in.

"That's good~ Well then, Paimon, let's go find something delicious to eat now."

Ying smiled, then pinched her travel companion's cheek, as if everything just now was nothing but an illusion.

Well, teasing each other is just their way of getting along.

As for finding something to eat, that was somewhat unexpected.

Why do they assume there must be snacks hidden in their homes?

Seeing this, Kiana looked at Paimon and spoke calmly.

"You've been traveling so much, I do have some things here to reward you. However, they're not in the main house..."

Paimon, hearing this, craned his neck curiously and asked, "Huh? So where should we put it?"

Kiana smiled, then turned her gaze to Sirin, who was standing to the side.

Upon noticing its owner's gaze, the little guy didn't hesitate at all, immediately turning around and...

They brought out a huge bunch of snacks?

"Wow? What is this? Magic? Or just an alchemist's trick?"

Looking at the bags of snacks, Ying and Paimon both showed expressions of disbelief.

They never imagined that this little girl named Celine could easily produce so many good things just by turning around.

This process was so short, lasting only a single breath, that it's truly unbelievable...

Kiana smiled and looked at everyone.

"We found these on our travels, so please don't be shy about taking them."

Paimon and Luminous were speechless after hearing Kiana's words.

"..."

The three remained silent for a long time.

"Uh, is there a problem?"

Kiana didn't mind; instead, she smiled.

"Okay, okay, stop staring at me like that. It's like I'm going to poison the food..."

After hearing Kiana's words, Paimon and Luminous both gave awkward smiles and then accepted the gifts.

Kiana couldn't help but smile as she watched them handle the task with ease, then looked around at the scenery.

At this moment, the boy was still playing the piano, showing no sign of coming over to say anything.

It seemed that at this very moment, he was a spirit wandering in this dusty song pot.

Like the spirit of the pot, A Yuan, it merged into this world...

Seeing this, Kiana smiled and shook her head, then continued:

"Ying, how long are you planning to stay? I ran into some trouble while traveling, so I'm resting here now."

"I...I don't know either, whatever."

Ying scratched her head and smiled, a little embarrassed.

Her travel plans are not yet finished, and now that she has no news of her brother, she can only take it one step at a time.

"Whatever... Alright then. You can come here to rest anytime. I rarely have time to rest here while traveling anyway."

Kiana stood up and smiled, a very warm smile.

Paimon and Ying looked at each other in bewilderment.

He then smiled with delight.

"It seems you've finished your work. Would you mind if I joined in?"

Just as they all fell silent, the green-haired boy playing the piano looked up at the sky, his eyes deep and unfathomable, as if he had seen something.

Immediately afterwards, the boy released his harp and slowly stepped forward, carrying his own small harp.

He had a beaming smile, giving off an air of "you can't hit someone who's smiling."

It's hard for people to feel hostility towards him at first glance.

"It's up to you."

Kiana thought for a moment and then offered words of comfort.

However, the other party's next words surprised both her and Ying, who was standing next to her.

"Haha, long time no see. The upholder of justice."

"You've mistaken me for someone else."

Kiana retorted without even thinking.

If Miracles Have Colors (re0): Chapter Six: How could the mighty Wind God possibly be a freeloader?

"Hehe, how could that be? My eyesight is pretty good, you know, there's absolutely no way I could mistake it."

The green-haired boy smiled and shook his head.

He seemed to have extremely high confidence in his so-called discernment.

To be honest, Kiana couldn't think of a reply for a moment because the guy's words were so definitive.

After a moment's thought, Kiana slowly said:

"But unfortunately, you've mistaken me for someone else. I've never seen that Sustainer before."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, the green-haired boy fell silent.

Ying, standing to the side, sighed.

"Wendy, you've been playing the harp without permission. Now you're deliberately mistaking people for others. Isn't that going too far?"

"How could that be? You've misunderstood me, traveler."

Wendy scratched the back of her head, smiling somewhat embarrassedly.

It's clear that he's not actually a scheming person.

Seeing his genuine smile, Kiana thought this boy might actually be a bit silly and cute.

However...

"Oh dear, I didn't expect to be seen through. I was planning to play dumb a little longer. After all, you guys haven't been paying attention to me since earlier, which is a bit hurtful."

Wendy brazenly voiced her true feelings, as if she wasn't worried at all whether the person hearing her words would make her head explode.

It has to be said that such a carefree attitude is really speechless.
