Chapter 452 Strange smell
Fengyuan Manye strolled around Liyue Harbor for a while, and only when it was getting dark did he cover his stomach.
"Uh... it seems like I'm a little short of money..."
Fengyuan Manye took out his purse, but found that there were only a few thousand Mora left.
After all, he is now a homeless ronin. Apart from working as a helper on Beidou's ship, his last income was the military salary he received on Kaiji Island. He helped the rebels for a period of time.
Now in Feiyunpo, it is almost impossible to fill his stomach with the few thousand Moras left.
Fortunately, he knew that the restaurants near Huyan were more affordable, so he put away his wallet and headed there.
In this way, Fengyuan Manye came all the way to Wanmin Hall.
However, as soon as Fengyuan Manye entered the door, he met two acquaintances.
"Huh? It's Manye. What a coincidence that you're here for dinner too~"
In front of a table where four people were sitting, Paimon raised his hand and waved to Kaedehara Manye who had just walked into the store.
After the incident at the Southern Cross Martial Arts Tournament, she and Ying had learned about Kaedehara Manye's experience in Inazuma, and their relationship had become much closer, and they no longer called each other by their full names.
"Good evening, Traveler, Paimon."
Fengyuan Manye walked over and greeted the two of them, and looked at Liu Bai and Nashida who were sitting opposite them.
"These two...are they your friends?"
When Fengyuan Manye saw the two of them, he paused slightly, and from the contraction of his pupils, it could be seen that he was not calm.
"Yes, this is Liu Bai, and the girl next to him is Nashida. We are going to Inazuma soon, so they are seeing us off."
Paimon nodded and pointed at Liu Bai and Nashida to introduce them to Fengyuan Manye.
After introducing Paimeng, he looked at Liu Bai and the others.
"Hehe, Liu Bai, Nashida, this is Fengyuan Manye, who came to Liyue on Beidou's Death Star~"
Paimon introduced Maple Leaf to Liu Bai and Nashida.
"Hello, nice to meet you..."
Fengyuan Manye calmed down a little and greeted the two of them.
"Hello, Kaedehara Manye~"
"Ahhh... hello, hello!"
Nashida also responded and pulled Liu Bai, who was eating nearby. Liu Bai then came to his senses and waved to Fengyuan Manye.
"Since Manye is here to eat too, why don't you sit down and eat together? Anyway, the dishes we ordered are quite rich, and we can't finish them all unless we ask Paimon to clean them up."
After they got to know each other, Ying on the side made a proposal to Fengyuan Manye.
"Um...yeah, yes, let's eat together, Manye. It's so late."
Paimon on the side hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and invited Fengyuan Manye.
Generally speaking, when having a big meal, everyone else is full and the rest is all up to Paimon's stomach to eat.
"Since you are a friend of the traveler, please sit down."
Nashida also nodded.
As for Liu Bai, he was concentrating on eating.
"Thank you all, I will obey your orders respectfully..."
Seeing that all three of them had invited her, Fengyuan Manye had no choice but to agree and added a chair and a set of bowls and chopsticks on the other side of the square table.
"I'm gonna start now."
As an Inazuma woman, Kaedehara Manye said this subconsciously.
"Speaking of which, why did you react strangely when you looked at Liu Bai and Nashida just now?"
After Fengyuan Manye had filled his stomach a little, Ying couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"You've actually been noticed, traveler, you're really perceptive..."
Fengyuan Manye was a little surprised when he heard Ying's question.
"That's right, the smell on both of them is really special..."
Fengyuan Manye explained to Ying.
"How special?"
Ying had seen Fengyuan Manye's strange ability before, so she became curious after hearing this.
"Well, the girl's breath is as full of vitality as the green sprouts that have just grown on the tree. But when I listen carefully, I seem to smell the smell of a seed breaking through the moist soil and growing into a towering tree."
Kaedehara Manye first explained to Ying the feeling he felt from Nashida.
"Really? That's not surprising. You have quite a powerful ability."
Ying nodded slightly and said that of course she knew Nashida's true identity, but it was not convenient for her to tell Fengyuan Manye, after all, she had not gotten her consent.
"As for Mr. Liu Bai..."
Fengyuan Manye hesitated a little, but finally continued:
"He has the flavor of almost the entire world."
Fengyuan Manye spoke very seriously, but of course he did not forget to lower his voice. After all, the two of them were communicating quietly at the moment and could not be heard by each other.
"The smell of the whole world...?"
Ying was a little confused.
"Yes, countless flavors mixed together in disorder, good, bad, fragrant, greasy, and finally all became pungent."
"I tried to analyze it but could only come up with the smell of various things, rotten rocks, wet soil, pungent perfume, cold steel, burnt food, and plants with strange fragrance..."
"Uh... sorry, it may be a bit rude to say that. I just want to say that his smell is the most peculiar among all the people I have ever met. I have no idea how these smells are produced."
Fengyuan Manye nodded and explained to Ying, and finally gave another explanation apologetically.
Ying could only nod her head, not quite understanding. She still found it difficult to comprehend Fengyuan Manye's strange ability.
It's not like she hasn't seen other people with the Wind God's Eye, but she has never seen anything so strange except Wendy.
"..."
While eavesdropping on the whispers between Ying and Fengyuan Manye, Nashida couldn't help but look back at Liu Bai who was eating.
"Why can't I smell it..."
Nashida moved closer in confusion and sniffed Liu Bai's nose.
"?"
Liu Bai turned his head in confusion, then stuck out his tongue and licked Nashida's nose.
"Ah...you got all the oil on my nose!"
Nashida exclaimed, quickly picked up the napkin to wipe her nose, and spoke to Liu Bai with some resentment.
"Hum~"
Liu Bai made a smug sound while eating meat in big mouthfuls.
……
After that, time quickly came to the day when the Southern Cross Fleet set sail.
Liu Bai and Nashida made it clear that they did not plan to take Beidou's ship to Inazuma, so Ying and Paimon had to say goodbye to them.
"Sister Ying, Little Paimeng, you are finally here, let's go~"
When Ying and Paimon packed their things and arrived at the port, preparing to go to Guyun Pavilion to perform, Klevi, who had already prepared her luggage, appeared from the side.
Liyue is a place where you can't go anywhere. Klevie has long wanted to follow Ying to adventure elsewhere. Those deserted and dangerous ancient ruins are her favorite.
In this way, the three of them boarded the Death Star and soon it was time to set sail.
It was the first time for Ying and Paimon to sail on a big ship. They were looking around excitedly as they walked on the deck, and greeted Kaedehara Manye who was sitting high up holding a light novel.
