Splash, splash—
It seems I still haven't gotten used to this kind of 'painting'…
Lying on the bed, listening to the sound of running water from the bathroom, Kaito couldn't help but think this.
Just after returning from Angel's Share, Wendy immediately went to the bathroom to take a shower.
She had been out all day today, so it was about time she bathed.
However, since their memories were shared in real-time, as soon as Wendy began showering, Kaito passively started watching a live stream.
He didn't know if it was because he had been single for too long since birth, but Kaito still reacted to the scene.
Although it was essentially himself, this strange reaction always occurred, and it reminded Kaito of something.
Previously, he had often seen comments online from married people, saying that when they first got married, they willingly 'submitted their grain' (a euphemism for marital duties), but later it became a forced submission, or they even wished not to submit at all.
This made single Kaito very curious, wondering if it truly was that way.
However, Kaito actually had an opportunity to verify this now, but he still had to wait for his Honkai adaptability to improve; otherwise, his mast and scull would turn to ashes, truly turning to ashes in every sense of the word.
Sigh…
Suddenly sitting up from the bed, Kaito placed his bare feet on the floor, while his body remained seated on the bed.
Creak—
At that moment, the bathroom door opened, and Wendy walked out.
Under Kaito's gaze, Wendy, with a few water droplets and mist clinging to her body, slowly walked in front of him and then crouched down.
Actually… it's pretty much like doing it myself…
Before long, Kaito reached this conclusion.
No, wait… this is me doing it myself…
After all, it's himself, so the feeling is bound to be similar.
However, if he disregarded the sensation and only focused on the visual aspect, then it was very different.
Because visually, it looked like two separate people.
How could my second brother die…
My second brother is invincible under heaven! (Passionate)
Suddenly, Liu Bei's words, filled with both passion and sorrow, appeared in Kaito's mind.
...
Mt. Tianheng.
One AM.
Surely the bank should be closed by now?
Standing atop Mt. Tianheng, Wendy looked down at Liyue below and thought this.
Because she didn't want to cause too much of a stir, Wendy chose this time to help Northland Bank 'clear out its inventory'.
Inside Northland Bank.
Childe? It seems his deposits are in here…
After infiltrating Northland Bank, Wendy quickly spotted Childe's name on a stack of safe deposit boxes.
Although she didn't know the password, it didn't matter; she could just cut them open with air currents.
Hmm? There's something on it…
Just as Wendy began manipulating the air currents to cut open the safe deposit boxes, she noticed elemental energy attached to them, though she had already cut through it.
'Someone has broken into Northland Bank!'
'Quick! Catch him!'
...
Before Wendy could understand what the elemental energy was for, a chaotic noise erupted from below.
An alarm system in the Genshin Impact world?
Hearing the sound, Wendy felt a little helpless to complain; she hadn't expected the world of Genshin Impact to have such a thing.
Nonetheless, she remained unperturbed and intended to take Childe's entire safe deposit box directly.
Just then, she heard Childe's voice, conversing with someone.
'Lord Childe, someone has broken into the bank.'
'To dare steal from Northland Bank itself, what audacity.'
So, he's here…
Let me send you to space…
Sensing someone rapidly approaching her location, Wendy casually waved her hand towards a spot.
Boom—
In an instant, an incredibly powerful air current surged out from within Northland Bank, sweeping Childe, who was mid-air, away without a trace; no one knew where he had gone.
'Lo…Lord Childe, where did he go?'
'It seems… he was blown away?'
...
The Fatui, who had rushed over, were about to charge into Northland Bank to apprehend the intruder, but their Executive Lord had been blasted away through the wall by the person inside. This immediately made them abandon the idea of rushing in.
After all, if even such a powerful Executive met this fate, what chance did they have?
However, the loud boom had nearly echoed throughout all of Liyue. Liyue, which had been plunged into darkness, now saw lights flicker on one after another, as the awakened Liyue citizens wondered what had happened.
Amidst this chaos, Wendy had already left with Childe's safe deposit box, while the Fatui outside remained completely unaware.
Windrise.
No need to take on commissions now…
Placing Childe's safe deposit box on the ground, Wendy knew she wouldn't have to accept any more commissions.
