It's like this. Mondstadt's Acting Grand Master wishes for a way to be able to contact you at any time."
Although many doubts still existed in her heart, since the Anemo Archon had already asked her a question, Ningguang decided to answer first.
In any case, barring any surprises, that black-haired young man named Kaito should be staying in Liyue for a while. Perhaps she could use this time to get to know him.
Is she afraid the Anemo Archon will suddenly disappear again for a few hundred or a thousand years...
To think that the matter Grand Master Jean specifically asked Ningguang to handle was this... Wendy was a bit speechless.
However, upon thinking about how long Venti had been gone before, Wendy felt that Grand Master Jean's actions were understandable.
Forget it...
I'll go discuss it with Venti later...
He's the Anemo Archon, after all...
After a moment of thought, Wendy said, "Then I understand. I'll go discuss it with him now."
With that, Wendy quickly vanished from before Ningguang and Keqing.
She left so quickly...
Suddenly realizing that the Anemo Archon before her had vanished in the blink of an eye, Ningguang subconsciously looked around.
However, she wasn't surprised. After all, her companion was the Anemo Archon; it was quite normal for them to come and go without a trace.
There was just one thing she didn't feel good about: the Anemo Archon hadn't taken them back down.
Although this wasn't a big deal for her and Keqing, if the Anemo Archon had taken them down, the location should have been where they were just now—that is, around the black-haired young man's residence. This way, she could have observed him again.
Of course, there would be plenty of such opportunities, so she didn't need to be anxious.
"She just left like that? She could have at least taken us down the mountain."
Also looking around, Keqing said this with some dissatisfaction after confirming the Anemo Archon had really left.
She felt that since the Anemo Archon had brought them here, she should also have taken them back to their original location.
Even though the other party was a god, it didn't stop her from saying so, even if that god might know what she had just said.
"Let's just treat it as some extra exercise."
Compared to Keqing's dissatisfaction, Ningguang seemed unconcerned, merely saying this leisurely.
And after speaking, she started walking down the mountain path.
"I just think it's a bit rude to abandon us here like that." Keqing didn't want to dwell on it, but regarding what Ningguang said about exercise, she exercised far more than Ningguang on a daily basis. "And speaking of exercise, do you think I sit around all day like you?"
"No one can stay still all day unless they're a statue, which I am not. You can't refute that point."
Walking ahead, Ningguang continued to speak at a slow and steady pace.
"You're just splitting hairs. But I can't be bothered to argue with you about this." After saying this, Keqing, who was behind, said no more.
However, after a moment of silence, Ningguang spoke up, as if talking to herself yet also asking Keqing, "Why would a god fall in love with a mortal?"
"Maybe he isn't a mortal at all."
Not caring whether Ningguang was asking her, Keqing, who had already walked ahead, directly voiced her thoughts.
Although she hadn't known the black-haired young man, Kaito, for long, she felt it was very likely he was a god.
After all, a pairing of two gods is countless times more reasonable than a pairing of a god and a mortal.
And more importantly, the lifespans of gods and mortals are too different.
Although gods can also die, barring any accidents, a mortal's life is but a fleeting moment for a god.
Therefore, she felt that the young man named Kaito must also be some god.
"That does make a lot of sense, but things might not be that simple."
As if pondering something, Ningguang, who was walking behind, replied to Keqing.
Ningguang had, of course, considered what Keqing just said, but based on her earlier observation, she felt that he was probably not a god.
Although such a guess would lead to a surprising fact, she still felt that way, unless he was just too good at disguising himself.
Kaito…
Muttering the young man's name, Ningguang's mind conjured his appearance.
Honestly, she rarely showed such interest in anyone, but that young man was an exception.
"It seems you're preparing to investigate him."
After hearing Ningguang say that, Keqing understood what she was thinking.
Although she was also very curious about such matters, since Ningguang was already preparing to do it, she could just ask her directly later on.
She had many other things to attend to, so she wouldn't get involved.
"I just want to understand things a little."
"Suit yourself."
After Keqing said this, the two of them said no more.
Mondstadt.
Angel's Share.
To think that kid Kaito just left like that...
Without even telling me...
I'll have to find a time to go to Liyue and look for him and Morax...
Drinking alone, Venti suddenly remembered that Kaito had left and silently thought this to himself.
Actually, that morning, he had noticed that Kaito's group seemed to be up to something, but before he could react, they had already left Mondstadt.
Helpless, he could only dismiss the thought of going up to ask about the situation. In any case, he already knew that Kaito and the others had left Mondstadt for Liyue.
In truth, he still really hoped Kaito could stay in Mondstadt.
After all, if that were the case, Miss Wendy would also stay in Mondstadt, and then if anything came up, Miss Wendy could appear as the Anemo Archon.
But right now there wasn't anything that absolutely required the Anemo Archon to appear; it was just that Grand Master Jean liked to look for the Anemo Archon.
"Ah... good wine."
No longer dwelling on it, Venti took a sip of wine and couldn't help but exclaim.
Hmm...
Suddenly, Venti, who had just placed his wine glass on the table, sensed something.
"Why is she back again?" Venti muttered to himself with a frown and stood up.
Outside Mondstadt.
"Grand Master Jean wants a way to contact the Anemo Archon at any time, you should..."
"I'm not the Anemo Archon anymore. You are, Miss Wendy."
"You're really not going to be the Anemo Archon anymore, are you." Turning her head to look at the newly appeared Venti, Wendy was a little surprised.
Although she had been treated as the Anemo Archon all this time, she hadn't expected Venti to really not want to be the Anemo Archon anymore.
