Chapter 2

~9 min read 1,781 words

Kaeya: "This feeling, this momentum, it feels like Klee when she grows up."

Jean: "It's just unclear which timeline of Mondstadt his reincarnation is in."

Alice: "Hey, hey, hey, Jean, don't let your imagination run wild. Our Elf race is different from you humans. Klee is my own."

Barbara: "May the Anemo Archon bless Mondstadt."

Klee: "Eh, look quickly, the big brother is in trouble. He blasted someone to death."

[Su Bai looks around, still feeling smug about his harvest.]

[But suddenly, the image that enters his eyes makes his breathing stop.]

[On the originally empty beach, a figure is lying motionless on the sand, appearing out of nowhere.]

[Golden short hair, white long boots, and that blue and white dress.]

[From any angle.]

[The person should be a young girl.]

["It's over."]

["I didn't blast someone to death, did I?"]

[Su Bai's mouth twitches awkwardly, and he subconsciously looks around.]

["No one should have seen this, right?"]

Suffocating!

Analyzing from the image on the light screen.

The person lying on the beach is undoubtedly the Traveler, Lumine.

Her outfit is too recognizable.

But judging from Su Bai's first reaction, he seems not to know Lumine at all.

Even his act of looking around seems to be checking whether anyone else noticed his act of injuring someone.

Ama... amazing.

As expected of my new neighbor.

No, I should say, as expected of a reincarnator.

In the very first scene of his appearance, he blasted the Traveler to death.

At Su Bai's home.

Furina is dumbfounded.

The opening of the plot completely exceeded her imagination.

A reincarnator blasting the Traveler to death.

What an exciting plot; it's much more brilliant than the dramas seen at the Opera Epiclese.

Lumine: "Ah! Is that me?"

Paimon: "Too much! The reincarnator actually blasted the Traveler to death."

Venti: "This..."

Jean: "Could it be that Su Bai's reincarnation timeline is exactly the timeline when Lumine was in Mondstadt?"

Lisa: "But why isn't Paimon's figure seen?"

Arataki Itto: "She must have been blasted away somewhere, hahaha, after all, she's so small."

Paimon: "That's too much! I'm going to get angry."

Paimon: "But why were the Traveler and I in the water? It doesn't make logical sense. And when we were in Mondstadt, we never encountered any reincarnator."

Venti: "A reincarnator, I see..."

Tartaglia: "What do you mean?"

Venti: "Ehe, nothing. This system should be fine."

Paimon: "You're doing it again, you annoying bard. I hate riddlers the most."

Nahida: "A story of reincarnation? It's like a dream that never stops cycling."

Consultant Zhongli: "Cough, cough. From a general understanding, just treat it as a story. Don't take it too seriously."

[Su Bai hurries to the girl's side.]

[He turns her body over.]

[He places his finger in front of her nostrils.]

[Feeling her breathing, Su Bai finally lets out a long sigh.]

[The tension on his face relaxes: "Good, she still has breath. For now, she shouldn't be dead."]

Lumine: "It really is me."

Lumine: "Wait, what does he mean by that? What do you mean 'for now she shouldn't be dead'? I definitely wouldn't die."

Hu Tao: "Traveler, do you need to book our services in advance? I feel like you and the reincarnator are at odds."

Lumine: "..."

[Seeing that Lumine still has breath.]

[Su Bai wipes the mud and sand off her face.]

[Lumine's exquisite face makes Su Bai pause.]

[He sighs again: "Good thing she wasn't disfigured by the explosion just now."]

[Seeming to think of something.]

[Su Bai hurriedly turns Lumine over and checks her carefully.]

["Phew!"]

["There isn't a single burn mark on her body. It seems this matter has nothing to do with me."]

["She must have just drowned."]

Pfft!

On the streets of the Court of Fontaine.

Lumine almost spits out a mouthful of old blood.

"That damn Su Bai, what did he do?"

"Just checking for blast injuries, did he need to be so thorough?"

"Damn it, damn it! If I find out where he is, I'll definitely kill him."

Paimon: "Traveler, calm down."

Lumine: "Bastard! Just because it's simple drowning doesn't mean it has nothing to do with him. Maybe it was because he blasted the fish that I drowned."

Jean: "I think the most critical thing now should be saving the person."

Lisa: "Jean, look quickly, the reincarnator is saving the Traveler."

Lumine: "No, shut up! Stop it!"

[Under Su Bai's efforts of artificial respiration.]

[Lumine spits out some lake water, spraying it all over Su Bai's face.]

[But fortunately, hard work pays off.]

[Lumine lets out a soft moan.]

[Her breathing finally stabilizes.]

["Phew!"]

["I didn't expect saving a drowning person to be so exhausting."]

[Su Bai wipes the water stains off his face.]

[He looks quietly at Lumine, who has fallen into a coma.]

[He checks the time.]

["I can't just leave her outside like this."]

["Even if she doesn't encounter Hilichurls or Slimes, with her current weakness and soaking wet clothes, it's highly likely to cause a serious illness."]

[Su Bai stares at Lumine for a long time, thinks it over, and finally makes up his mind.]

[After roughly collecting the fish on the beach.]

[Su Bai carries Lumine and walks toward the depths of the forest.]

Chapter 5: Su Bai: I Swear, I Didn't See Anything

The content on the light screen leaves everyone stunned.

Su Bai actually carried Lumine away directly.

As for where they are going, no one knows.

Charlotte: "This is definitely big news! A reincarnator encounters a comatose Traveler and carries her away, kidnapping her."

Lumine: "Please don't say it in such a scary way."

Paimon: "Something bad happened! The Traveler was carried away, what about me? It seems I haven't even appeared yet."

Clorinde: "I'm curious about one question: Paimon, are you and the Traveler inseparable?"

Paimon: "Ever since I met the Traveler, we have been inseparable."

Tianquan Ningguang: "According to what you mean, there was a time when you and the Traveler hadn't met yet. Perhaps this time period is before you and the Traveler met."

Lumine: "Ah? Doesn't that mean I'm going to miss Paimon?"

Paimon: "No way! You are currently in a state of memory confusion. Without my guidance, how will you face future situations?"

Venti: "Don't always think of things so negatively. Maybe it will be a while before you meet."

Paimon: "That's true. After all, I met the Traveler two months after she woke up."

[Mondstadt, Starfell Valley.]

[In the forest, a refined wooden house.]

[The room emits a bright light.]

[Inside the room.]

[Under the effect of electrical ore.]

[The lighting is quite bright.]

["Hmm..."]

[Lumine, lying on the bed, cannot help but let out a soft moan.]

[She wakes up slowly from the comfortable quilt.]

["You're awake."]

["Do you feel any better?"]

[Lumine doesn't react immediately, just nods subconsciously.]

[Holding her head, the awakened Lumine is still a bit dazed.]

["I saw you drowning earlier, so I brought you home."]

[Su Bai says softly.]

[So that's how it happened.]

[Lumine pats her forehead gently.]

["Thank you..."]

[The words of thanks just left her mouth.]

[However, the next second.]

[The cool breeze blowing into the quilt makes her skin feel a sense of smoothness.]

[Lumine's face turns red instantly.]

[At this moment, she realizes that her clothes have been hung on the windowsill of the room.]

["Ah!"]

[An unconscious scream rings out.]

[Lumine grabs the quilt tightly and shouts: "You, you, you, you, you..."]

[Immediately after, Su Bai's anxious explanation comes from her ear.]

[Su Bai stretches out his arms, opens his palms, and says seriously: "I swear to the heavens, I only saw that your clothes were soaked and was afraid you would get sick, so I took the liberty."]

["Of course, during this process, I kept my eyes closed the whole time and absolutely did not see anything that shouldn't be seen."]

The Abyss Order.

Aether's eyes are fixed.

He feels countless anger gathering in his chest.

"Damn reincarnator, he actually did that to Lumine..."

"Bastard! Don't let me run into you. If I do, I will definitely kill you."

Even having experienced countless storms during his travels.

The anger still causes this calm Abyss Prince to lose his reason.

If it weren't for the constraints of the viewing rules, Aether would have wanted to dispatch Abyss Heralds to search all of Teyvat for Su Bai's figure right now.

That concerns Lumine's purity! Su Bai really deserves to die.

Paimon: "It's over! The Traveler is about to faint. Neuvillette, come help quickly."

Neuvillette: "It's not very appropriate for me to step in for this kind of thing. Where did Furina go?"

Furina: "Oh my, oh my, this kind of thing doesn't count as a big deal for the Traveler."

Lumine: "Bastard! Is Su Bai in the live stream? Come out and explain yourself!"

Jean: "Although it feels a bit off, the reincarnator's actions were indeed thinking of the Traveler."

Lisa: "He's a gentle boy."

At Su Bai's home.

Furina's eyes are shining with excitement.

With a look of indifference, she laughs: "The Traveler is looking for you. Do you want to respond to her?"

Respond to her?

If I respond to her now, wouldn't I get a good scolding?

"Are you crazy?"

"I didn't expect that I would do such a thing to her in the reincarnation either."

"Besides, wasn't I doing it for her own good?"

Furina touches her chin and ponders for a moment.

She feels that what Su Bai said is not wrong.

"That's true. Your heart isn't bad, but for a girl, this kind of thing will definitely cause a stress reaction."

"It will be fine once she adjusts slowly."

[Didn't see anything that shouldn't be seen?]

[But he must have touched everything, right?]

[Lumine feels suffocated.]

[But in her heart, she also knows clearly that Su Bai was doing it for her own good.]

[The scene falls into an awkward silence.]

[Finally, Lumine's stomach growls twice.]

[Whoosh!]

[Lumine's already blushing face turns even redder.]

["You must be starving."]

[Su Bai says while walking to the window.]

["Your clothes are still wet."]

["I don't have any extra clothes here either."]

[He thinks for a few seconds.]

[Su Bai says: "I'll bring the food to you. You can eat it on the bed; don't get down for now."]

["Once you've eaten and had your fill, we'll talk about it properly."]

Chapter 6: What Did You Say? Touching a Slime Can Obtain Elemental Energy?

[Although the atmosphere at the scene is awkward, the top priority is to fill the stomach.]

[The simple-minded Lumine does not refuse Su Bai's proposal.]

[Under Su Bai's care, she eats very satisfactorily.]
