Chapter 289 Renting a House
"Help! Help!"
"Hey? Traveler, did you hear that? It sounds like someone is calling for help?"
While searching for the cat, Ying and Paimon suddenly heard a cry for help.
"Go over and have a look."
Ying nodded and followed Paimon to a sparsely populated alley.
This alley is very ordinary, but the special thing is that there is a strange blue seal with a pattern of water element on it at the door of a house.
"Help! Is there anyone? Can someone help me catch this cat?"
At this moment, Ying and Paimon heard the boy's cry for help again.
Following the sound, I saw a familiar-looking boy trapped on the roof, with a cat sitting on the ground looking up at him.
"Hey, that guy dressed in green... looks so familiar!"
Paimon looked at the young man hiding on the roof and felt that he looked very familiar.
"He is... the man who talked to the dragon yesterday..."
Ying frowned and quickly recognized the boy on the roof.
"Hey! Kind person over there, please help me and take the cat away quickly, please!"
At this time, Wendy, who was hiding on the roof, shouted to Ying and Paimon.
"He's actually afraid of a cat... But traveler, that cat seems to be the Nelson we're looking for!"
Ying and Paimon looked at each other, then Paimon pointed at the cat and spoke to Ying.
"Well, go around carefully from behind."
Ying also recognized the cat, nodded, and then approached it carefully from behind.
Since the kitten's attention was on Wendy, Ying easily grabbed it from behind, picked it up and held it in her arms.
Although the kitten kept chasing Wendy, it was still very well behaved and friendly, and did not resist when being picked up.
Seeing this scene, Wendy finally breathed a sigh of relief, climbed down from the roof, and landed in front of Ying and Paimon.
"Hey hey hey, ma'am, please don't hold the cat too close. I'm allergic to cat hair!"
After landing, Wendy hurriedly reminded Ying.
"But anyway, you guys are finally here. Otherwise, I would have to wait for it to get tired and leave on its own. Thank you very much."
After confirming that Ying did not bring the cat near, Wendy thanked the two of them.
"Hmph, stop trying to get close to me and tell me the truth. What is your relationship with Tevarin?"
Paimon said to Wendy with his hands on his hips.
"Oh, what else could it be? Of course, we are best friends."
Wendy explained.
"Oh, so it was you who ordered Tevarin to attack Mond!"
Paimon said with a look of sudden enlightenment.
"Traveler, let's capture him and take him to the Knights of Favonius to claim the reward. That way, we won't be left without food~"
Then Paimon pointed at Wendy and proposed to Ying with an expectant look on his face.
Ying held the well-behaved kitten in her arms, stroking its head while looking at Wendy.
"No, you two are kindhearted, please let me go... Besides, although I am friends with Tevarin, I am not a bad person."
Wendy said quickly, picking up her companion, a harp.
"As for the specific details, I think I need to convey them to you in the way I am most familiar with."
Wendy said this while gently plucking the strings.
Then he began to tell the story of Tevarin, from its encounter with the wind god, to its swallowing of the dragon's blood, to being awakened from its sleep, to going crazy and attacking Mondstadt.
……
After eating, Nashida learned that Liu Bai had slept on a bench in the square all night.
"Idiot, you have so much Mora, just find a hotel to stay in for the night."
Nashida was very dissatisfied with Liu Bai's behavior. How could anyone sleep in the square? Wouldn't that make him a homeless vagrant?
"But the hotel has been booked by the Fatui..."
Liu Bai scratched his head and explained.
"...? Aren't you the Fatui executive officer?"
Nashida couldn't help but tilt her head.
"Yes!"
Liu Bai suddenly realized.
"But compared to this, girl, let's find a place to live quickly."
After suddenly realizing it, Liu Bai couldn't help but make a suggestion to Nashida.
"Okay, why not just rent a house? After all, it's more convenient to live by yourself than in a hotel."
Nashida did not continue to dwell on the previous topic, but instead made a suggestion to Liu Bai.
Although as an executive officer, they could live in the Goethe Hotel, which was booked by the Fatui, for free, but there were too many Fatui envoys living there, which was not very convenient for Liu Bai and Nashida.
Liu Bai nodded in response to Nashida's suggestion.
Although he has not found the protagonist mentioned by the system yet, and he is not sure how long he will live in Mond, he just hopes not to rent a house that is too expensive.
In this way, Liu Bai and Nashida asked passers-by for directions and soon arrived at the park near the Knights' headquarters.
There is often an old man here enjoying the scenery, and this old man is Goethe, the owner of Goethe Hotel.
In addition to the Goethe Hotel, he also has a large number of properties in the city, and can be said to be a real estate tycoon in Mond.
Liu Bai always felt that this old man looked familiar.
However, Liu Bai did not make trouble. He let Nashida talk to Goethe and finally took them to see the house. Soon, Nashida rented a small house for half a year at the price of 100,000 Mora a month.
This house is relatively remote, so the price is cheap. It is located in the alley further down the road from the blacksmith shop, which is on the left at the entrance to Mondstadt.
There is also a house sealed by water elements next to it, and I don’t know what it is used for.
"Yes, this is it. It's quite remote and no one will come to disturb us at night. It will be much more convenient to go back to the little white house this way."
After seeing off the landlord Goethe, Nashida spoke to Liu Bai with satisfaction.
They usually go back to the little white house at night because they will never be disturbed there.
But because they will never be disturbed, it is easy for someone to come looking for them and not find them at all, and they themselves are unaware of the situation.
Therefore, living in a remote place can prevent this situation. If you have anything to do, wait until you come out of the little white house the next day to deal with it.
"Next, clean the house thoroughly. There may be guests during the day. Sweep and mop the floor."
Then Nashida took out a broom, dustpan and mop and handed them to Liu Bai.
"Okay girl."
Liu Bai took the mop and used his sword to control the broom and dustpan, while he held the mop in his hand.
He controlled the broom and dustpan to sweep in front, and Liu Bai followed behind with the mop, cleaning the newly rented house with great efficiency.
Nashida was cleaning the windows and furniture, replacing some old furniture with more comfortable-looking ones.
With the two of them busy, the house was quickly cleaned.
At the same time, Ying and Paimon also reached a consensus with Wendy.
I'm going to steal a piano tonight...
