"Uh... alright."
Venti was speechless, not expecting Kaito to act first and report later.
But it didn't really matter; he wasn't particularly concerned about it anyway.
However, there was one thing he was still very curious about.
"By the way, Kaito, there's sothing I want to ask."
"What is it?"
Seeing Venti suddenly look a bit serious, Kaito was curious about what he wanted to ask.
"Has Miss Wendy ever changed her appearance or anything?"
Afraid Kaito wouldn't understand, Venti explained further, "I an, has Miss Wendy always looked like this?"
He couldn't help it; Wendy's appearance was too similar to that of his friend, and even her na was almost identical to his current alias. So he wondered if Wendy had done this specifically to borrow his Anemo Archon identity.
"Of course, and the na Wendy is also her real na." After hearing Venti's question, Kaito understood what he was thinking.
"Is that so? That's quite a coincidence." Venti nodded thoughtfully.
"The world is vast, without... Hm? So many Hilichurls."
Mid-sentence, Kaito suddenly waved his hand towards a nearby bush, and imdiately a Hilichurl's scream ca from within.
"You truly aren't simple, kid."
Witnessing this, Venti looked at Kaito with a thoughtful expression.
It was clear that what Kaito had just used wasn't elental power, nor did he possess a Vision, yet he had controlled the surrounding air currents to attack a Hilichurl in the bush.
He had actually noticed that Hilichurl earlier, but he hadn't expected Kaito to act, and in such an unexpected manner.
"I still need to work harder."
Smiling, Kaito said he still needed to put in more effort.
It wasn't that he wanted to show off to Venti, but he just suddenly spotted a Hilichurl and wanted to test out his newly acquired abilities.
Although he had tried it yesterday, testing it on Wendy and testing it on a Hilichurl were completely different.
It was like learning a new skill in a ga; the difference between testing it on a BOSS and testing it on a mob was huge.
And if Wendy was considered a BOSS, a Hilichurl probably wouldn't even count as a low-level Sli.
Of course, in so gas, Slis have a special attack bonus against certain characters.
"I feel like you're hiding your true strength, but it doesn't matter; slacking off is so much better anyway."
Suddenly feeling that Kaito was sowhat like himself, Venti's impression of him improved further.
Clearly, Kaito was not the ordinary person Morax had claid.
But then again, Kaito seed just like him, fond of slacking off.
"I can slack off myself, but you're the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt! You should at least appear once a year like Morax."
Speaking of slacking off, Kaito also rembered that this Anemo Archon hadn't shown himself to the people of Mondstadt for a long ti, like a hands-off boss.
Do sothing proper, Barbatos!
"But isn't the way things are now quite good?"
Saying this, Venti looked towards Mondstadt, then continued, "Kaito, how about... you try being the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt? Your abilities are quite similar to mine."
Although Kaito had just said that Wendy didn't want to be the real Anemo Archon, he hadn't said that he himself didn't. Venti primarily wanted to see how he would answer this question.
"No, not interested."
As soon as he heard Venti wanting him to beco the Anemo Archon, Kaito imdiately waved his hand in refusal; he had no interest in managing a nation.
"You kid, I didn't even say I was definitely making you one, yet you refused so quickly."
Venti seed quite surprised that Kaito refused so decisively.
"Do sothing proper, Barbatos!"
Looking at Venti, Kaito echoed the words of his good friend Dvalin to him.
"Ehe~☆" After an "ehe," Venti seed to recall sothing. "But Kaito, aren't you also slacking off? Miss Wendy must be busy sowhere, right? Yet you chose to slack off here with ."
"Firstly, I am doing sothing proper; I just told you about Wendy borrowing the Anemo Archon's identity. Secondly, Wendy doesn't mind slacking off."
Venti: "..."
Venti was truly a bit speechless by Kaito's answer, and it seed he had just been hit with a display of affection.
"Alright, Kaito, you win." After so thought, Venti said sowhat helplessly.
However, he suddenly realized that he seed to have beco very familiar with Kaito, as if Kaito had known him for a long ti.
Hm... an illusion?
Never mind... being familiar is better... being familiar is better...
After so contemplation, Venti ca to this conclusion.
Hm? That person below must be Lumine, right?
Suddenly, Kaito, who shared Wendy's mories, couldn't help but think this.
-------------------------------------
Starfell Valley.
It really is Lumine...
And Ergency Food Paimon...
Standing high up, overlooking the valley road below, Wendy, who had been patrolling this area, finally spotted Lumine's tracks.
"Right now, we are heading to the Nation of Wind..."
Whoosh—
Just as Paimon was still speaking, fierce winds suddenly rose around them, forcing the two to stop.
"Is the Nation of Wind called that because it's always windy?"
Due to Paimon's introduction and the sudden fierce winds, Lumine couldn't help but guess that the Nation of Wind was called that because it was always windy.
"No, no, it's called the Nation of Wind because it's the territory of the deity who controls wind."
Seeing that Lumine had misunderstood, Paimon, while using her hand to shield herself from the oncoming fierce winds, explained to her why this place was called the Nation of Wind.
But for so reason, she felt that these sudden fierce winds were a bit strange.
"Then we... Eh? Who's that?"
Just as she was about to ask when these fierce winds would end, Lumine suddenly noticed a young girl floating in mid-air ahead, looking down at them expressionlessly.
It must be said, this reminded her of the ti she and her brother encountered that unknown deity, except this girl was not the sa unknown deity she had encountered before.
"Who's that?"
Instinctively turning her head, Paimon, startled to see soone in mid-air, imdiately hid behind Lumine. "Woah, who is she?"
Lumine: "..."
Lumine was speechless regarding her guide.
"Paimon, you can fly, and she can fly too, so why don't you go ask her what she wants?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lumine pulled Paimon, who was hiding behind her, in front of her.
"Hey?! What kind of twisted logic is that?!"
