Chapter 187: The Traveler Who Can’t Get Out

The next day, Elysia opened her hazy eyes and looked at the person beside her. Her exquisitely beautiful face instantly turned bright red. She didn’t know if it was because she had absorbed the Core of the Herrscher of Sentience, but her memory had improved dramatically.

"Yawn—"

Elysia yawned, then pulled the covers over her face. She felt her face burning up and began to roll around on the bed.

Man—

"Oof!"

Kenji, who was still sleeping, was elbowed in the stomach by Elysia. His eyes shot open, and he stared blankly at the rolling Elysia. This was a truly unique wake-up call, the kind that makes you see stars.

Kenji took out a rope and, in a few swift moves, tied Elysia up in the blanket, turning her into a round caterpillar. All she could do was wriggle.

Click, click—

He took out his phone and took a picture. Although nothing was exposed, for Elysia, it was still quite an embarrassing situation.

"Delete it!"

Elysia broke free from her bonds and instantly changed into her Herrscher of Human outfit. A magic staff appeared in her hand. The time for magic was over; now it was time for physics.

A one-key outfit change? Kenji complained internally. Honkai energy really is omnipotent. So convenient.

"Ellie, you wouldn’t want Mobius to see this picture, would you?"

Elysia: "..."

This phrase, from the Far East, left Elysia at a loss for words. She put her hands together. "Alright. What will it take for you to delete that picture?"

Mobius would definitely want it, and she would surely laugh at her. She couldn’t have that! She was the only one allowed to tease the little snake.

"My shoulders are a little sore," Kenji said, patting his own shoulder.

Elysia’s soft little hands landed on Kenji’s shoulders, and she began to knead them with great force. It wasn’t like she could break him, anyway.

"Yes, that’s the spot," Kenji said with a look of pure enjoyment. "Little Yazi, you’re doing great."

Hey! What the heck is ’Little Yazi’?!

After massaging for a while, Elysia’s own hands started to feel sore. She instantly realized that Kenji was intentionally tensing his shoulder muscles, which was why they felt so hard.

"Today’s breakfast: various buns from Bun Mountain."

Kenji took out thirty steamed buns. The fillings were random; you could only find out what was inside by eating them, just like opening a blind box. To be honest, he didn’t get it. They were just sitting there on the ground, yet the buns were piping hot. He couldn’t find a heat source anywhere. It could only be explained by the magic of Gourmet Cells.

"So many?" Elysia felt a little full before she had even eaten, but the aroma was very tempting. She had expended so much stamina; she definitely needed to replenish it.

"A red bean bun. Alright, this counts as a pastry. Tastes good." Elysia took a bite. It wasn’t a savory meat filling, but a bun made with red bean paste.

"A pickled fish bun?"

Kenji also took a bite. This filling was quite bizarre, but the taste wasn’t bad. The sourness of the pickled vegetables, combined with the tenderness of the fish, and just the right amount of numbing spice elevated the texture.

"A durian bun? Is this right?"

"A Russian nesting doll bun? One after another... so bizarre."

"A stinky tofu bun! Intense!"

...

Half of the fillings were normal—meat and vegetables—but the others were quite strange. The key was that they tasted good; they were all very delicious buns. Kenji was speechless at the sheer diversity of bun flavors.

"Ugh, hurry up and open the window to air the place out! The smell is so strong ♪," Elysia said, wrinkling her delicate nose. The wonderful aroma of stinky tofu and durian mixed together was quite overpowering. And this wasn’t the smell of ordinary durian and stinky tofu. While the taste was good, the smell was much more intense. She felt like she was about to suffocate.

The moment the window was opened, the faces of the pedestrians on the street changed. The overpowering smell made them flee on the spot. The damage was too astonishing.

[Lady Justice]:

"@Star Forger Kenji, that blonde traveler saw me and immediately hugged my leg, asking if she could still leave Teyvat. What should I do with her?"

What kind of greeting etiquette involves hugging someone’s leg upon meeting them?

If she hadn’t held back, Lumine would have been sent flying back to Mondstadt. That white flying creature was hovering anxiously around the traveler, but the traveler had passed out peacefully.

[Gudako]: "If that were me, I would have licked Furina’s leg all over."

[Galactic Baseballer]: "That’s right. You have to taste it for saltiness, and while you’re down there, take an epic-level huff."

The two abstract ones indicated they would have had to personally appraise the situation.

[Stank]: "Even in my open country, no one would do that in public."

Tony found it too progressive. In a private room, maybe, but outside... he didn’t think anyone would be that perverted.

[The Champion]: "Forget your world, that would be an explosive act in any world. It’s the kind of behavior that would make even a Pokémon stare blankly."

[Little Monster]: "Is that what you’re supposed to do when you meet someone?"

Erii wrote in her diary. Greeting gift when meeting a girl: hug her thigh, then lick it? It felt weird. No one had ever taught her about this kind of thing.

Gen Chisei happened to see the diary entry Erii was writing. He felt as if the sky were falling, and his vision went black. Which innately evil fujoshi has corrupted Erii? Damn it! A pure white sheet of paper, now stained with a strange color.

"Erii, where did you learn this?" Gen Chisei asked, a smile that didn’t reach his eyes on his face. Although he knew that almost no one had contact with Erii, with abilities like Speech Spirits in the world, he couldn’t rule out the possibility that someone had contacted her with a special ability. If they had... then don’t blame him for adding another spot for them in Tokyo Bay.

Erii thought for a moment, and a lightbulb suddenly appeared above her head. I have a plan.

Rustle, rustle...

[A friend told me.]

Gen Chisei’s brow furrowed. What friend? Something’s not right. This is very not right.

"When did you make a friend?"

He, her own brother, didn’t even know. A sense of crisis welled up in his heart. It’s not some blonde punk, is it?

At this moment, a scene had already formed in his mind: a blonde punk on a noisy scooter, parked at their gate.

[I’m not telling you.]

Erii shook her head. She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she heard the sound of something shattering.

Gen Chisei clutched his chest, a bitter feeling in his heart.

[Star Forger]: "She’s a traveler, so she definitely has to leave Teyvat. You can handle it as you see fit. For example, by charging Lumine a toll."

[Star Forger]: "If she says she has no money, just have her get it from Aether. The Prince of the Abyss Order is definitely rich."

Lumine: Big bro, it’s time to drop some gold coins.

The traveler had probably found out from somewhere that she couldn’t get out, so she could only go to Furina.

[Ghost of the Uchiha]: "I have an idea. Charge her a fee for each crystal wall she passes through."

[Crash-Test Pilot]: "Madara, you’re a real businessman."

If that really happened, by the time the traveler left Teyvat, she’d have to use her shorts as payment.

[Lady Justice]: "Forget it. I’m not that money-grubbing."

Furina’s mouth twitched. That was too ruthless. The image of Lumine leaving Teyvat in a cardboard box was too beautiful to imagine.
