That girl… Miss Kiana and her companions live in Liyue?
After hearing the Lord's words from behind, Shenhe couldn't help but be a little surprised; she hadn't expected the other party to actually be staying in Liyue. It could be said that she was now even more curious about Kiana's identity.
But aside from her identity, other things were already quite obvious. The Lord not only knew where that girl lived but was also very familiar with her. After all, if they weren't familiar, why would he visit her place at any time?
But in that case… What exactly did that girl come here to do? And did she really not do anything inside the abode?
Following behind the Lord, these questions also appeared in Shenhe's mind. However, she knew the Lord probably wouldn't answer these questions of hers, so she didn't ask them out loud.
After all, if the Lord had wanted to answer, she would have heard it back on Mt. Tianheng. More importantly, the Lord was now taking her to that girl's residence, which could be considered an answer in itself.
After that, Shenhe stopped overthinking and just silently followed behind the Lord.
A little while later.
"We're almost there. It's just ahead."
After walking for some time, Zhongli, who was in front, suddenly spoke this sentence.
Ahead? That courtyard?
Hearing the Lord's words, Shenhe subconsciously raised her head and looked forward. She discovered that a courtyard ahead seemed to be the place the Lord was talking about.
And just as she was looking at the courtyard, something that looked like a pet suddenly flew out from inside.
What is that?
Holding this question, Shenhe continued to follow the Lord towards the courtyard.
"Oh, it's Zhongli! Are you here to see Kaito?" the little thing flying in mid-air spoke.
Kaito? Miss Kiana's companion?
Suddenly hearing the little thing speak, Shenhe couldn't help but think this.
Wait! This little thing is also her companion?
Suddenly realizing this, Shenhe looked at the little thing again.
"Yes. Is he in?" Nodding, Zhongli stopped in front of Paimon and asked.
In truth, he knew whether Kaito was in or not; he just asked casually, treating it as a way to chat with Paimon.
"He is, he's right inside." Paimon said, pointing into the courtyard with her little finger, then flew inside. "I'll go get him."
She had just finished a bowl of noodles but still felt hungry and was planning to go out and buy something to eat herself. However, she hadn't expected to run into the visiting Zhongli and that girl who didn't look like an ordinary person at the gate. This made her temporarily forget about going out to eat.
Of course, more importantly, she wanted to see if the arrival of Zhongli and the girl would get her something to eat, just like with Ningguang before.
"How are you back so soon?"
Just as Paimon, having flown into the courtyard, was wondering if Kaito would go buy something to treat Zhongli and the girl, she suddenly heard Lumine's voice.
"Zhongli's here, so I came back to let Kaito know." Looking at Lumine, Paimon explained why she had returned so quickly, then continued, "Oh, and there's a girl with him. I don't know if she's a friend of Kaito's."
A girl?!
She had been wondering what Zhongli wanted with Kaito, but upon suddenly hearing from Paimon that another girl had come looking for Kaito, Lumine immediately remembered what Kiana had told her before.
What Kiana had said back then was simple: Kaito had other girlfriends.
So...
That guy has another, another, another, another, another, another girlfriend from somewhere else coming to find him?
First it was Wendy, then Kiana. Now… Who is it?!
At this moment, Lumine was truly numb.
She realized that before she had even started, her position was constantly being pushed back. Every so often, a new girl would come looking for Kaito. Just how popular was that guy?
Why… Why are there so many girls?
Tap, tap, tap—
Just as Lumine was screaming silently in her heart, a set of footsteps sounded from the entrance, making her look over subconsciously.
Is that her?
Looking up, Lumine saw the girl Paimon had mentioned.
She had to admit, the girl had a remarkable aura, a sense of being otherworldly and detached from mortal concerns.
They're all so different…
Looking at the girl, Lumine couldn't help but think this. After all, Wendy and Kiana were both extraordinary, so this newly appeared girl must be the same.
Wait!
A question suddenly occurred to her, and Lumine became curious again. Why did she come with Zhongli? Could it be that she asked Zhongli to show her the way?
After thinking it over, this was Lumine's guess. Otherwise, she really couldn't figure out why this was happening.
"Good afternoon."
Seeing Zhongli and the girl walk over, Lumine greeted them.
No matter what, it was best to maintain basic courtesy. As for everything else, she would wait and see.
