In fact, the girl and the wanderer have always had one thing on their minds -

About finding a new home for Xiaocha.

In fact, the Arakaki faction and the girl have been busy with this matter these days. Due to Zhaixiacha's beautiful appearance, many families have come to see her, but they are hesitant because of the two conditions that Zhaixiacha's illness has not improved and that she must bring a black cat.

Zhaixiacha himself didn't care at all, and looked like it was fine if it succeeded, and it didn't matter if it didn't.

"...What does it matter? At most, Inazuma will run more often in the future. This kid is so smart that he is almost a spirit. There are people taking care of him here, so he won't die."

"No matter what happens, after you leave Inazuma, you can let him go back to the Fatma with me. Then, no matter what happens, as long as you still want to recognize that little devil, you will have to come to see me."

"Oh," the girl squeezed the wanderer's hand, "If you don't want to see me, then I won't be able to see Xiaocha either, right?"

"?"

The wanderer frowned and looked at the girl, then squeezed her hand hard:

"Is this possible?"

“What if…” The girl succeeded in putting the blame on someone else, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. She seemed to be in a good mood and shook the homeless man’s hand. “But, if I really let you and Xiaocha live together forever… Haha.”

The wanderer looked at the girl's relaxed face, snorted softly, but with an unfading smile on his face, he wrapped his little finger around the girl's knuckles...

Very greasy.

"Eh? There—"

The girl looked at the bustling scene not far away. Although it was not crowded, it was still a lively place in this remote place.

"I can't walk when I see a place like this... Let's go. We're not in a hurry anyway."

So no one expected that just strolling around for fun would actually bring a glimmer of hope for Zhaixia Tea.

"there--"

The girl looked towards a stall not far away - it was selling some small sundries, which shouldn't be noticeable, but the stall owner seemed familiar to the girl.

Yes--

"Ok?"

The wanderer saw the girl staring straight in one direction, and his alarm bells rang for no reason. He followed the girl's line of sight and saw an old lady. He breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly:

"you know?"

"Yes," the girl nodded, "the previous bed was bought from her place - you didn't see her at that time."

There was one more sentence that the girl did not say.

She is also Xun Guinaqi Zhenjun, a fairy from Liyue.

The old lady seemed to have noticed the girl's gaze and turned around. She obviously remembered the girl's appearance and smiled at her kindly. The girl always felt that there was something deep in this smile, just like...

It was as if he was waiting for her deliberately.

"..."

"As for me, haha..." The old woman smiled, "If you buy something from me, you are not just buying items, you are also buying opportunities."

Ok?

The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then narrowed her eyes:

"Like a magic lamp?"

"Magic lamp? Haha, that's about right. I also often go to a place similar to the magic lamp to do business."

"This time, I'm here to discuss business with you, young lady."

Business--

The girl pursed her lips and thought for a while:

"What's the deal?"

The girl blinked twice.

"I think with your status, the value of this business is probably not measured in money."

Xun Guinaqi was not surprised that the girl knew her identity. She just smiled kindly and waved the palm-leaf fan in her hand.

She did not answer the girl, but put the girl in a position that was both active and passive.

Therefore, the girl could only start to think about her own value.

The wanderer did not sit down at the table, but leaned against the wall near the door with his hat pressed down, but his eyes never left the girl.

This old lady was probably not an ordinary person. It was true that she had divine eyes, but there was also another power lingering around her, which was not aggressive. It was gentle and tough, flowing around her with a gentle stubbornness.

Although it is not a dangerous signal, but it is always a good idea to keep an eye on it.

Ah, Comrade Wanderer's life as a bodyguard.

"Do you need me to deal with the congestion in Liyue?"

The girl thought for a long time and finally spoke.

"This doesn't require a deal. I will go to Liyue eventually."

"If that's all, it's not a deal."

Xun Guinaqi's smile gradually faded, and then an extremely serious expression emerged:

"A more dangerous accumulation has appeared in Liyue."

"..."

The girl and the wanderer walked side by side, and rarely did anyone speak.

"So," the wanderer suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, "Miss Busy Savior, have you decided where to go next?"

"Ah... Let me think, Inazuma will take some time. After I finish here, Liyue will probably be in a hurry - but someone is waiting for me in Fontaine, and I'm already late for a long time..."

"..."

The girl was talking to herself, perhaps she was too absorbed in her thoughts, and she did not immediately notice the wanderer's gradually slowing pace. By the time she reacted, they were already a body length away from each other. Only when the girl stopped and turned around could she see his murky expression.

"Well, Inazuma needs you, Liyue needs you, and someone in Fontaine is waiting for you."

I couldn't tell the wanderer's emotions just by listening to his tone. I wanted to see his expression, but found that his face was mostly covered by the wanderer's hat that he had intentionally pulled down. I could only see the corners of his mouth, and was surprised to find that he was smiling.

But this smile did not make people feel happy, but only felt full of mockery - even as a young girl, she could not tell clearly for a moment who this mockery was aimed at.

"What about Sumi?"

"..."

The wanderer clearly didn't say it directly, but the girl just happened to hear his hidden meaning -

What about Sumeru?

That......

And me?

The girl froze in place for a moment, feeling a numbing sensation spreading from her back to her scalp. She subconsciously took a step closer to the vagrant and raised her hand to wipe away the non-existent tears on his face, but unfortunately, the vagrant dodged her attack by turning his head away.

This issue - the two of them never seemed to have brought it up on the table.

It's not that the wanderer couldn't accept that the girl would eventually choose to go somewhere else, but he always thought that he would at least become a distraction, a very important distraction. When he was alone in Xumi, he even collected information about other countries for the girl and compiled it into a thick report.

Putting aside all reason, he would of course hope that the girl would choose Xumi, so that he would not have to endure the anxiety and depression brought by separation - but in that case, she would always leave.

So he could bear it—she would always come anyway.

He even thought about how he would convince the girl if she chose Xumi as her next stop for various reasons...

But, but——

How could she have, completely, totally not considered Xumi?

Absolutely, never considered him yet.

The girl hesitated to speak - she really hadn't considered Xumi. After all, things always have to be prioritized.

But she didn't understand why the wanderers had such a big reaction.

——In fact, it wasn’t that big, but the tacit understanding between the two told the girl that he seemed very sad now.

The two of them had experienced too many things together. The tacit understanding that transcended time and space and experience made them subconsciously believe that the other person would have the same ideas as themselves.
