"I see."
Looking at Ningguang, Kaito seemed to nod thoughtfully.
"I feel like Wendy might have... gone back to Mondstadt?" At this moment, Lumine said this with some uncertainty.
Although she didn't know exactly what happened, she had her own suspicions.
"Mondstadt..."
"What are you all doing standing here?"
Just as Kaito was about to say something, another voice suddenly came from the side.
Kiana's here...
Watching the approaching figure, Lumine thought this subconsciously.
Before, she was wondering if Kiana had gone to sleep or something, otherwise why hadn't she appeared? But now it seemed that wasn't the case.
Who...
is she?
Looking towards the source of the voice, this question couldn't help but pop into Ningguang's mind.
If the Wendy from just now had shocked her, then the figure appearing before her now gave her an indescribable feeling.
She didn't know why, but she always felt this girl was far from simple, though she couldn't quite put her finger on how.
Could it be...
She's also a god?
After watching the other person for a while, Ningguang couldn't help but think this.
After all, there was already an Anemo Archon, so it was quite possible for another god to appear.
But in that case, Kaito would have two gods by his side.
Is...
that really possible?
Or could it be...
Kaito is also a god?
Were they all invited by Rex Lapis?
For a moment, Ningguang thought of many things, but she couldn't confirm any of her suspicions.
And at that moment, the other person seemed to notice her gaze and looked over.
It had to be said, the moment that girl's eyes fell on her, Ningguang's heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.
Although she herself didn't know why this happened, it just did.
"Lumine."
Her gaze on Ningguang, Kiana suddenly called Lumine's name.
"Huh? What is it, Kiana?"
Completely taken by surprise that Kiana would call her, Lumine was a bit confused for a moment, not knowing what she was up to.
"I was right, wasn't I? This guy Kaito knows a lot of girls. He just got here and someone's already come looking for him. Maybe there'll be even more later."
"No, no, this... Ningguang was looking for Wendy, not for Kaito."
For some reason, Lumine seemed very anxious and immediately explained on Kaito's behalf.
Although she had thought the same as Kiana before, it was obvious that wasn't the case.
"Looking for Wendy?" Kiana looked a little surprised.
"Yeah, Kiana, Ningguang was looking for Wendy. And it's not like I know a lot of girls." Kaito, who seemed eager to explain, quickly spoke up, and then as if remembering something, he continued: "Oh, right, let me introduce you. This is Ningguang, the Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Kiana."
After Kaito finished speaking, Ningguang immediately followed up.
It seems I was misunderstood...
And besides the Anemo Archon...
This girl named Kiana and that girl named Lumine both have that kind of relationship with Kaito...
Now Ningguang finally understood what was going on.
But at the same time, her internal doubts grew.
And now she felt more and more that Kaito's identity was anything but simple; she just couldn't see through it.
Honestly, she was in no mood to deal with other matters now; she just wanted to figure out Kaito's identity and his purpose for coming to Liyue as soon as possible.
In any case, it couldn't be a coincidence that such a person came to Liyue at a time like this.
But there was nothing she could do. Even as the Tianquan, she couldn't just figure out the identity of such a being whenever she wanted.
I guess I can only wait for the Rite of Descension the day after tomorrow...
After thinking it over, Ningguang realized this seemed to be the only way. She felt that Kaito and his group must have a significant connection to the Rite of Descension.
Although she was very curious about Kaito and his group now, if they didn't intend to talk, there was no way for her to find out anything.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Ningguang. I was overthinking things just now." Facing Ningguang, Kiana, who now looked very friendly, nodded.
"Please don't mind it, Miss Kiana. It's a trivial matter." Ningguang said, hoping Kiana wouldn't dwell on the matter.
It seems Kaito is a bit of a womanizer...
No...
Maybe he's just really popular with girls...
Regarding Kiana's change in demeanor, Ningguang silently thought to herself.
And while Ningguang was thinking this, Lumine, off to the side, was thinking something similar.
Kiana seemed a little scary just now...
And that guy Kaito is still being stubborn...
But...
I wonder what Kiana thinks of me?
Silently glancing at Kiana, Lumine couldn't help but wonder about this.
Because she had seen the moment Kiana and Ningguang's eyes met, she suddenly became curious.
No...
Why am I so concerned about Kiana's opinion...
It's not like she can eat me or something...
Hmm,
it seems she actually could...
But Kaito definitely wouldn't let her do that...
Wait...
That incident from before...
As she thought, Lumine suddenly remembered that previous matter concerning Kiana.
Hmm...
I'll talk to Kiana tonight...
After remembering that incident, Lumine decided to find some time to talk with Kiana tonight.
"Wait, Kai, where's the food?"
As if suddenly remembering something, Kiana turned her head to look at Kaito, looking as if she'd eat him if he answered too slowly.
"Uh..."
"You didn't forget to buy it, did you?"
"I couldn't help it, something came up suddenly. I'll go buy it now."
After saying that, Kaito immediately started walking outside.
So what Kaito meant by "arrangements" was just buying food to eat here...
Listening silently to their conversation from the side, Ningguang finally understood what Kaito had meant by "arrangements."
Right...
Ningguang is still here...
Halfway out, Kaito suddenly remembered Ningguang was still there.
After all, she did help bring the message from Acting Grand Master Jean...
I should still ask if she wants to eat...
Thinking this, Kaito walked back.
He actually thought Ningguang would take the opportunity to say she had to leave, since she had so many things to do and wouldn't have time to eat here. But he had to ask out of politeness.
"By the way, Ningguang, would you like to join us? If so, I'll buy a portion for you too."
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Kaito: "???"
