Chapter 354 Water Fight
Chapter 354 Water Fight
“Of course we should have a good time all day! I think Klee really enjoys sailing. Jean, you're a bit too tense. Learn from your sister Barbara; look, she's completely relaxed.”
Qin looked in Barbara's direction.
She stretched lazily in the sunlight, murmuring, "Mmm—the weather is so nice! The summer sun makes you want to relax."
Upon hearing this, Klee exclaimed excitedly, "Klee wants to go catch fish!"
Since it's summer, how can we miss out on the fried fish?
Unlike the fish in Fruit Wine Lake, the fish here have never been blasted, so they should be easy to catch.
Klee was incredibly excited at the thought of having an endless supply of fish to eat!
Since it wouldn't damage Mondstadt's ecosystem, Jean naturally had no intention of stopping it.
If the kid wants fried fish, then go ahead and do it.
only...
"But... Klee, this isn't Mondstadt, be careful."
Hearing the reminder from the leader of the troupe, Klee lowered her head and tried her best to memorize those words.
"Oh... Klee understands... Paimon, Courteney, and Martha, when we see the Great Demon King Dudu, let's work together to persuade him, and then we'll go fishing!"
Paimon put his hands on his hips and replied with a smile, "Okay, okay, whatever you say."
As they spoke, the children began playing on the beach of the island.
Seeing this, Ying and Barbara followed them to the beach.
Sigh, it's strange that the people who came to explore the Golden Apple Islands couldn't even gather a single complete boy.
Looking at the girls playing on the beach, the troupe leader Qin looked worried.
"Who exactly is the Great Demon King Dudu?"
Hearing this, Huiyuan said helplessly, "Qin, I told you not to be so nervous, why are you still looking so gloomy?"
"I'm thinking, who could it be—someone we all know, someone who would send threatening letters to Klee... the teleportation point, the drifting ship, and the uncanny coincidences. Besides you, Miss Huiyuan, I really can't think of anyone who fits all those criteria..."
They were acquaintances, yet they sent threatening letters to Keli.
Mr. Huiyuan is capable of manufacturing high-precision products such as wave boats and teleportation anchors, yet he is not a magical being.
Surely it couldn't be that Abedo orchestrated this whole thing just to get the kids to play, could it?
But Aberdo doesn't seem to have that ability either.
Seeing this, Huiyuan shook her head and sighed.
"Jin, you've been too stressed about the Knights' affairs lately. Just treat this trip to the island to investigate the mastermind behind it all as a vacation. Don't worry, Mondstadt won't be turned upside down without you for a few days. Besides, overworking yourself will only make things worse if something goes wrong."
After much hesitation, Qin finally convinced herself.
"Alright, as you say, Miss Huiyuan, I will get some rest."
"Hey, that's right! Come on, I brought a recliner and some coconut juice, let's lie down and chat."
After opening the parasol and lying down comfortably, Huiyuan naturally started reading a silly novel.
Looking at Barbara swimming in the ocean wearing a swim ring, Jean couldn't help but sigh.
As the person her younger sister admired, she felt awkward because she couldn't compare to her when it came to resting.
Our gaze shifts from the sunbathing duo to the group of girls playing.
Marta laughed speechlessly as she looked at Courteney, who was wearing three layers of swimming rings and a life jacket.
Isn't the Eye of God said to be a symbol of a person's growth?
Why is this wind-element girl so afraid of water?
As he pondered this, an evil thought involuntarily arose in his mind.
Marta leaned close to Klee and whispered something to her.
"Clori, let's have a water fight! I'll team up with you, and the enemy is Courtney."
"Hey... is this okay? Courtney seems to be afraid of water."
"It's okay, nothing will happen."
"Hmm, okay, whatever you say—"
The two little ones quietly circled behind Courteney and assumed a ready-to-go stance.
The next second, water sprayed upwards, striking Courteney who seemed completely unprepared.
However, Courtney, who had been caught off guard by this sneak attack long ago, was not unprepared.
Her divine eye began to glow slightly, and the magic within her body began to operate.
"During my time in Mondstadt, I haven't neglected the skills Master Liuyun taught me! Take this, [Gentle Breeze Scattering Flowers]—"
The clouds gathered into a spinning vortex, whipping up splashing water that attacked Marta and Claire.
He tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead; now he's in trouble!
After being thwarted, Klee frowned and began a turtle-like attack, frantically slapping the water's surface.
"Take this! Take this!"
"Mudada! Useless, useless, useless! Hahaha—"
Seeing this, Marta also began to circulate her internal energy.
The next second, a palm strike unleashed a torrent of waves.
The older sister is still the older sister; even though she was poisoned, the techniques she used were beyond her younger sister's resistance.
Courtney was flipped over by the waves, turning 180 degrees and plunging face down into the water.
Now, the three swimming rings on her body had the opposite effect, making it impossible for her to flip back up for a while.
"Glug glug glug (Help—I ambushed you! Waaaaah, it's so scary, the water is so scary!)"
When the kids get into trouble, it's naturally the older sister who has to step in.
After Ying rescued Courtney and handed her over to Barbara, she looked at the two little ones who had made a mistake in the water.
"What is your crime?"
Marta turned her head away, fidgeting, and said shyly, "I'm...I'm sorry..."
Klee opened her big, bright eyes and said cutely, "I'm sorry... Traveler sister, and Courteney sister..."
Ying shook her head and sighed.
"Sigh, no, that's not enough sincerity. How about this, Paimon, let's fight back and avenge Courtney!"
Paimon, seeing that he still had something to do, immediately became excited and smiled mischievously.
"Roar! Looks like even I, Paimon, have my moment to shine! Take this, Hua La Hua La Super Water Spray!"
Looking at the emergency rations that were haphazardly thrown into the water, Ying remarked, "The weird move names have increased."
Time flowed by, and before we knew it, the moon had risen.
A campfire was lit, a simple tent was quickly erected, and Ying began cooking a delicious meal.
A great chef is naturally trained from picky eaters.
Little Paimon picked up a ladle, made a bowl of mushroom soup, and then gave his evaluation.
"Hmm...it's a bit bland."
Ying had no choice but to add some salt.
Paimon drank again, then shook his head.
"It's too salty."
Ying gritted her teeth and added a spoonful of water.
However...
"Not fresh enough..."
Upon hearing this, Ying retorted, "Paimon, have you ever considered becoming a food critic to earn Mora?"
"Hey, why do you say that?"
"Your palate is amazing; you can detect even such a tiny flaw. If you were to critique food, you could definitely become an expert."
