Chapter 102: This music is so nice to listen to, it gives me a sinister premonition!

Stelle: "I have to say, Sandgold is truly deserving of the company's elite status!"

Stelle: "This unbreakable defense is truly impressive!"

Stelle: "Hua Huo's words are so aggressive, yet he remained completely unfazed the whole time!"

Stelle: "This defense must be a true transmission from the Preservation!"

Hua Huo: "Indeed, even I myself am quite—surprised by this."

Hua Huo: "This little Kong Que has truly remarkable endurance, hmm~"

Hua Huo: "The more he endures, the greater his threat becomes, isn't that right?"

Hua Huo: "Chicken-wing boy, you'd better keep a close eye on him. Otherwise, you might lose everything~"

Sunday: "Thank you for the warning, Fool, but I'll handle it myself."

Sunday: "My family has its own ways to balance him."

Paimon: "Ugh… Hua Huo Young Lady's insults are really harsh…"

Paimon: "If I were spoken to like that, I'd probably burst into tears already!"

Hua Huo: "That's all you think is harsh? I haven't even started yet~"

Gan Yu: "What?! Not even started yet? Then… then what would Hua Huo Young Lady be like if she truly let loose…? (Shocked. jpg)"

Stelle: "Pfft, if you can't even break Sandgold's defense, what's there to brag about?"

Hua Huo: "Hehehe, I just didn't feel like dealing with this little Kong Que. Otherwise, I'd make him understand what true aggression really is!"

Sandgold: "Apologies, Fool Young Lady, I failed to entertain you—truly my fault."

"Hey, Masked Fool."

"I never thought I'd end up needing the help of the Masked Fool."

"It seems this matter is truly troublesome."

Sandgold watched his conversation with Hua Huo,

couldn't help letting out a soft laugh.

The Masked Fools are all troublemakers,

and unless necessary, he had no desire to deal with Fools.

Because Fools act without restraint or order.

You never know what's going on in the minds of these troublemakers.

And despite being called Fools, they're smarter and craftier than anyone else!

So, Sandgold generally avoided turning such troublesome people into his pawns.

Because the risk was too great.

But if it became absolutely necessary, he would have to try.

Amber: "Befriending a mute?"

Amber: "Is that some kind of proverb?"

Servant: "It sounds like a subtle hint."

Paimon: "But why would Hua Huo Young Lady hint at Sandgold? Aren't they constantly at odds?"

Huanglong Yidou: "Exactly! They've already torn off all pretense and screamed insults at each other! And so harshly too!"

Zhong Li: "Because for now, they have no actual conflict of interest."

Zhong Li: "Sandgold Mr.'s goal is to subdue Pinnakoni."

Zhong Li: "And this Hua Huo Young Lady… seems only to be… seeking amusement?"

Stelle: "That's how the God of Amusement's followers are."

Wind: "Ehehe, with a little proper guidance, perhaps even greater amusement can be drawn out!"

Hua Huo: "Oh? Not bad. You've guessed some of my thoughts."

Hua Huo: "Looks like you'd make a good Fool too. How about it? Interested in joining the tavern?"

Hua Huo: "I can write you a letter of recommendation."

Wind: "Ehehe, I'm truly honored."

Wind: "Unfortunately, I can't leave Teyvat right now. I'll miss such a great opportunity."

Hua Huo: "Then when you do get out, be sure to find me. The tavern is missing someone like you~"

Qin: "…Mr. Wind, please… be more serious!"

Paimon: "Yes, get to work, Wind!! Stop chasing amusement!!"

Wind: "Ehehe!"

【Come this way—】

After Stelle descended into the well,

through the sewer filled with syrup,

after crawling through a dark passage,

she successfully reached the entrance to the secret base mentioned by Firefly.

And as soon as she emerged,

she heard Firefly calling out to her from nearby.

Then she joined up with Firefly.

【See, isn't this a beautiful place?】

【Normally, tourists aren't allowed here, so we must be careful not to be discovered by others.】

Firefly stood inside the fence,

gazing at the beautiful buildings in the distance,

and said with a smile to Stelle.

"Are you really sure nothing will go wrong?"

Hearing that tourists weren't allowed in here, Stelle asked with some worry.

"Don't worry, it's not some dangerous zone."

"You can think of this place as the border of the Golden Hour, and the dreamscape outside is still under construction and renovation by the family."

"And my secret base is right inside here."

"So, let's sneak in."

Firefly gave Stelle a brief introduction,

then looked at her with an expectant face.

"Alright!"

Firefly looking like this,

made it impossible for Stelle to harden her heart and refuse.

So she simply nodded in agreement.

Thus,

Firefly happily led the way ahead,

while Stelle followed closely behind her.

Nahida: "The music here sounds really nice."

Nahida: "It gives a feeling of peace and tranquility."

Furina: "Exactly, exactly. I always feel there's some inexplicable beauty to it."

Yun Jin: "The previous music all leaned toward a sense of wonder, dreaminess, and cheerfulness."

Yun Jin: "But the music now has a lyrical feel to it."

Stelle: "Oh no!! This music keeps giving me a bad feeling!"
