Chapter 362: Brothers' Dispute, Little Klee Is Puzzled
Kaeya truly lived up to his reputation as a master at drawing out information.
After several rounds of flattery, Ferdinand was already a bit dizzy and lost his bearings.
He began talking about their previous experiences all on his own.
The brothers had originally encountered a sandstorm in the Sumeru Desert.
One said to go east, the other said to go west.
In the end, they decided to go their separate ways.
Fortunately, they encountered this mirage in a bottle, and the three of them were saved.
Just as he was speaking, the Whoosh Whoosh Flyer arrived on top of a purple flower.
There stood an adventurer with the same blue hair as Ferdinand.
As soon as they met, Ferdinand spoke mockingly.
"Let me see who's been running around in a panic here. Well? Any leads yet?"
Geroni was furious, "Didn't I already tell you to let the little guys repair the hub first? That way, we can make another car from the hub..."
Halfway through his sentence, he felt something was off.
"How did you get here? It took me a lot of effort to climb up."
Ferdinand proudly pointed at Mu Yang and the others beside him.
He then had Geroni look at the [Whoosh Whoosh Flyer].
"Isn't the answer right in front of you?"
Geroni sneered, "Hah, I understand now. You must have gotten help from these travelers."
"I knew you couldn't accomplish anything on your own. You always rely on others, yet you still think it's all your own doing..."
[I somehow feel like I'm seeing Kaveh and Alhaitham.]
[Hahaha, you're not wrong. It does have a bit of their arguing vibe.]
[Too cliché though. Alhaitham's insults are more sophisticated.]
The two continued their meaningless quarrel.
Lumine stepped forward to mediate.
If there were any issues, they could talk after fixing the hub.
The two were separated.
Soon, the well-functioning water-form spirits went to work and repaired most of the tracks and the hub.
Ferdinand started again, "Why don't you look at whose contribution this is?"
Geroni didn't even want to face him directly.
"Of course it's thanks to these few travelers here. What about it? The way you said it, you think it's your contribution?"
The two quarreled more and more fiercely, even dragging in their third brother, Hado...
Klee's expression looked very upset.
She didn't want to see others arguing.
"Klee doesn't understand. Why are they quarreling when no one is doing anything bad?"
Ferdinand looked at the little witch's aggrieved expression and felt a bit ashamed.
"I-I just don't agree with his self-proclaimed clever attitude."
"Saying I'm self-proclaimed clever? Clearly you're the one coldly mocking me."
Seeing that they still weren't ready to stop, Kaeya put away his smiling face.
His words carried a chill, "...I advise you two to say a few words less."
"If you really can't control your mouths, I suggest you go quarrel somewhere else... Or do you want me to cool you two down?"
[Freeze!]
[Translation: If you keep yapping, get the hell down.]
[Kaeya Bro's ultimate protectiveness.]
[Mu Yang: Cool down, I'm way too familiar with this.]
"Come with me and listen to me say a couple of things."
After speaking, Kaeya took the two quarreling men away.
Mu Yang didn't know how to comfort children, so Kokomi had to do it.
Kokomi came in front of Klee, "Little Klee must have a lot of doubts..."
"There are many complex situations in this world that can't be explained with simple reason."
After all, they were just passing travelers.
Those two were relatives.
When it involved family relationships, contradictions were often harder to handle.
Klee pouted, "But Klee still feels this is wrong..."
Mu Yang patted Klee's head. This was also part of growing up.
The innocence she had now was the result of protection from Jean, Kaeya, Albedo, and the others.
One day, she would also come into contact with the complicated side of society.
But at least not right now.
Under Kaeya's "persuasion," the two apologized to Klee.
They had calmed down now.
As adults, they really shouldn't quarrel in front of a child.
Klee didn't hold a grudge.
She was still thinking about exactly where the problem was.
After the two calmed down, they thought of their brother Hado.
When they left this morning, neither of them had noticed him.
However, the two estimated that Hado should be near the [Raging Current Track].
Ferdinand and Geroni both looked toward Klee.
"Can you help us one more time?"
Klee nodded, "Mm, but you have to promise not to quarrel."
The two looked at each other and smiled somewhat sheepishly, "No problem, no problem."
The Whoosh Whoosh Flyer set off once again.
Near the Raging Current Track stood a man who looked similar to Ferdinand and the others.
Hado was younger and looked somewhat frail.
Still, he excitedly waved toward the car.
The two brothers got out of the car and went over to ask about Hado's condition.
Hado immediately said that the hub and tracks had been repaired.
They could now start the Raging Current Track plan.
The two started scolding Hado again for running around recklessly without regard for his own body.
Clearly they were concerned for each other, so why did they have to accuse one another?
"Big Brother Kaeya also worries about Klee sometimes, but Big Brother Kaeya doesn't scold Klee."
Kaeya smiled and nodded, "Mm mm, our relationship is much better than you three."
Ferdinand quibbled, "The situation is different..."
They had encountered similar things before.
If they didn't make the words serious enough, he wouldn't realize it, and sooner or later something would happen.
"As brothers we have to help him..."
Klee spread her hands, "But you two big brothers aren't helping at all."
"Although Klee doesn't understand as much as you, Mommy said that helping is supposed to make the person being helped feel happy, not make the helper themselves happy."
[Ah, it's really just a difference in perspective on the problem.]
[If you ask me, all "for your own good" is actually "for my own good."]
[Indeed. It's just wanting less trouble for oneself, yet dressing it up grandly as "for your own good."]
Klee said that Big Brother Hado clearly looked very unhappy.
Why not ask him what he wants?
After a long silence.
Ferdinand finally spoke.
"We're really worried about you, Hado..."
It turned out that during the sandstorm that day, Hado had also fainted because of his frail body.
Yet the two still insisted on quarreling.
If not for this mirage, the three of them would probably have been buried alive by the sand.
The two of them were now worried that Hado would faint again, and when he woke up there would be no one to take care of him...
Hado said there was no danger here.
He himself also felt very guilty.
It wasn't that his body was too weak and became a burden, repeatedly choosing to rest.
How else would the three of them have encountered the sandstorm?
The three brothers gradually opened up, talking about the origin of their adventure.
They talked about their ultimate fantasy for this flyer track.
Klee cheered them on from the side.
Each of the three had their own strengths. After setting aside their prejudices, they united as one.
And all of this was thanks to Klee.
Her childlike innocence unknowingly healed the rift between the three brothers...
To make Klee happy.
The three worked together with one heart to lay down the [Raging Current Track].
They let Klee freely enjoy riding the Whoosh Whoosh Flyer.
After a few laps, Mu Yang saw that Kokomi's condition was a bit off.
He had Klee stop the car.
If they didn't stop soon, the fish was going to start blowing bubbles...
