Chapter 284 You Can Eat Kitten
For Krewei, adventure starts from her surroundings.
So even though Alechino warned her not to get too close to the Knights so as not to expose her identity as a member of the Hearth House, Krevie still insisted on exploring almost every place in Mondstadt.
Even though she had been to the Knights of Favonius several times, she happened to meet a little girl named Klee who looked about the same age as her.
However, ever since the Wind Dragon attacked Mondstadt, Klee was taken to live in the snowy mountains, so there was basically no one in her exclusive confinement room at this time.
Krevy hid in the confinement room for a while before quietly poking her head out and finding that Liu Bai and the others had followed Amber and Kaia into the captain's office.
She then immediately stood up and left the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius.
Then she ran out of Mondstadt without stopping. Because she had just been attacked by the Wind Dragon, no one noticed her at all.
In this way, they came to the place where they met Liu Bai, Ying and others before. Krevi picked up the travel backpack and a one-handed sword hidden behind a tree and put them on her back.
Then she took out the map and followed the direction indicated by the map.
The mission she received was a commission that had been hanging in the Adventurer's Guild for a long time, but basically no one had accepted it. It was to investigate a mysterious island in the sea on the right side of the Falling Star Valley.
In order to get there smoothly, she practiced rowing for several days and hid the boat near the beach. Today she was ready to set off.
"Hehe~ This is my first real adventure~ When I come back and tell Klee about this, she will definitely be full of admiration~"
Krevie was so happy that she started to hop and skip as she walked.
"..."
Behind Krewei, an erratic figure followed her closely, reporting her situation to her superiors using a strange communication device.
"This little girl is really brave. Although she shouldn't be in any danger given her abilities, you'd better not lose her, or you'll have to explain to your father yourself."
A woman's voice came from the communication device.
Apparently, Alecino is no longer in Mondstadt.
"Yes."
……
When Klevi sneaked out of Mondstadt, the librarian of the Knights of Favonius, a lady named Lisa, explained the situation of the Wind Dragon.
It is not called the Wind Dragon, but one of the Four Wind Guardians that has been forgotten by most Mondstadt people, Tevarin the East Wind.
The reason why it went mad is not known for the time being. We only know that it lost the Guardian of the Four Winds, that is, it lost the power of the Wind God's followers. It was able to stir up a strong wind that swept across Mondstadt because it relied on the power of the four temples that guarded the Four Winds.
So at the suggestion of the acting leader named Qin, they decided to go to three of the temples to stop Tevarin from borrowing these powers.
The reason why I said it was them was because there were enough people and Liu Bai didn't need to participate at all.
After all, he wasn't here specifically to help the Mond people deal with the dragon disaster.
However, as a traveler, Ying should have been a passer-by, but perhaps because she needed the Knights of Favonius to help her find her brother, she took the initiative to help.
In this way, Ying, Amber, Kaia and Lisa split into three groups and headed towards the temple guarded by the four winds.
Liu Bai followed the scent on the road towards the Deer Hunter Restaurant.
"That's it for now, let's eat first."
"Hello, I'd like one portion... um, sweet beggar's chicken."
Liu Bai said to Sarah, the waitress at the Deer Hunter Restaurant.
"Hello sir, we only have sweet flower stuffed chicken."
Sarah smiled politely and reminded Liu Bai.
"It's all the same. Give me one and a drink."
Liu Bai took out a Mora and placed it on the table, then went to find a seat nearby.
The Deer Hunter Restaurant is an open-air restaurant. Since the streets of Teyvat are not as noisy as modern ones and there are not many vehicles passing by constantly, the open-air restaurant experience is still very good.
The only drawback was that it had not been long since the Wind Dragon's attack, and a lot of garbage was blown up from the surrounding ground.
"Come to think of it, girl, why haven't you come back yet so late..."
"It's no fun to eat without a girl..."
After sitting in his seat and waiting for a while, Liu Bai closed his eyes and lay on the table with a bored look on his face.
But the next second, a furry tail gently touched his nose.
Liu Bai opened his eyes immediately and found that a gray and white kitten had jumped onto the table where he was lying from nowhere.
The kitten was obviously not afraid of strangers. It sat in front of Liu Bai and licked its paws.
"Kitten~Kitten~"
Liu Bai reached out and touched its head.
The kitten was not shy at all. It rubbed Liu Bai's palm affectionately and made a purring sound.
"My sir, I'm very sorry. Nelson seems to have disturbed you. I will take him back to the Cat's Tail Tavern."
At this time, Sarah, the waitress at the Deer Hunter Restaurant, brought the dishes Liu Bai ordered. After seeing the kitten on the table, she quickly apologized.
Apparently this cat didn't belong to the Deer Hunter, but was a kitten that ran away from a place called the Cat's Tail Tavern.
Although kittens are cute, not everyone likes cats. If a cat jumps onto the table, you must of course apologize to the guests.
"It's okay, I just like kittens~"
Liu Bai touched the kitten's head for a while, then held it in his arms.
"I'm glad I didn't disturb you. People from the Cat's Tail Tavern will probably come out to look for it later. I'd like to ask you to keep an eye on it."
Sarah breathed a sigh of relief and placed the sweet stuffed chicken and the drink Liu Bai ordered on the table.
Liu Bai tore off a chicken leg and started chewing it, while teasing the kitten in his arms.
But it seemed to be attracted by the fragrance, and kept stretching its head to sniff the scent on Liu Bai's hand.
"Hmm? Kitty, you can also eat sweet beggar's chicken~"
Seeing the kitten's reaction, Liu Bai put the chicken bone in his hand on the table, tore off another chicken leg from the sweet stuffed chicken, and planned to feed it to the kitten in his arms.
"No! Can't! Eat!"
"Don't feed the cats anything you want!"
At this moment, a somewhat frightening voice was heard nearby.
Liu Bai turned his head and found a little girl with pink hair, cat ears and a cat tail, who was staring at Liu Bai with her tail erect.
Although her hair is pink, her cat-like fur is calico in color.
"Give Nelson back to me. I'm taking him back."
Seeing that Liu Bai did not continue feeding the kitten chicken legs, the pink-haired girl walked forward and stretched out her hand to the kitten in Liu Bai's arms.
"Girl, try it. It's delicious."
Liu Bai handed the kitten over, but with his other hand he stuffed the chicken leg into the mouth of the unsuspecting little girl.
"Well?!"
"Don't put things in other people's mouths suddenly!"
The little girl subconsciously bit off a piece of meat from the chicken leg, then hurriedly took two steps back holding the kitten, glaring at Liu Bai angrily.
But she looked kind of cute when she was angry.
"And I remember you. You were the one who was holding a cat and grinning in the tavern half a year ago."
"Thanks to that drunk Kaiya for knocking you out with a glass of wine. You must be planning something bad to Maomao, humph."
At this time, the little girl also recognized Liu Bai. She snorted, turned around and walked away with the kitten in her arms.
