A Burmese smile that was familiar to Kaedehara Manye appeared on his face, and while Battousai was speaking, his hands did not stop.
He ate up all the poultry and animal meat, but didn't touch the fish at all.
That's right. If what he said was true, he had been eating raw fish for several months and it was impossible for him to be interested in fish again.
Even cooked fish.
"Don't worry, there are still a lot."
Beidou said generously after asking the crew to bring new food.
In fact, she had secretly asked an experienced sailor to drive a small boat away from the fleet and head to Liyue to report the news.
Maybe they couldn't float here from Inazuma, but this sea area already belonged to Liyue. With their experience, it was more than enough for them to row to Liyue Harbor.
"Huh... Fortunately, I met Captain Beidou's fleet in a place like this, otherwise I would definitely die of thirst in the sea due to lack of water."
He put down the rice bowl that had been taken away from him again. His ability to speak clearly while having food in his mouth was something that many people envied.
Also, when it comes to eating other people's food, he never shows mercy.
Since you don’t have to pay for it yourself, just eat as much as you can.
"We are the ones who should be surprised. We didn't expect you to be able to float from Inazuma to a place like this."
Pulling out his own wine flask, Beidou took a sip.
There seemed to be a hint of smile in the wine-red eyes hidden by her hair.
"Luck, it's all luck, plus my little bit of strength, otherwise... I would have died in General Lei Dian's thunderstorm long ago."
Chapter 524: The Fatui are Everywhere
"If it was someone else, I would still believe it was luck, but for you... it's mostly strength plus a small amount of luck, right?"
In fact, Beidou noticed it when Bai Luo was lifted out of the boat.
It would be more accurate to say that Battousai had used some secret method to put himself into a state similar to hibernation rather than fainting.
In this state, his body functions would be in a state of stagnation, and there would be no problem even if he did not eat or drink for several days.
His current state of crazy eating is the aftereffect of his previous condition.
"Speaking of which, have I already arrived in Liyue?"
After putting down the bowl, Battousai rolled up his sleeves, pinched the rice grains at the corner of his mouth, and stuffed them into his mouth and asked.
He behaved very much like a wanderer who had been drifting on the sea for a long time.
"Ah, we have already..."
"We have already entered Liyue. It may take three to five days at the shortest, or half a month at the longest. In any case, we are not far from Liyue Harbor."
When Manye was about to say something, Beidou stepped in and held his shoulder, and said the rest for him.
Wan Ye glanced at her and didn't explain anything, but just nodded along with her.
"That's good. It seems my luck is really good. I didn't drift in the wrong direction."
Battousai seemed unaware of their little actions and continued to eat.
Beidou, on the other hand, used the excuse that he had other things to deal with and left the cabin with Manye.
"Forgive me Manye, this is for the good of all of us."
After driving away the crew members who were surrounding them, Beidou brought Wanye to a farther deck and said while looking in the direction of Liyue.
Beidou once fought side by side with Battousai in a life-and-death battle against Bazhu, and his relationship with him is quite special.
But in this special situation, she also had to deal with it carefully.
"Don't worry, big sister, I understand everything."
Manye didn't say much.
The wind and rain can smooth out not only the mountains, but also the edges and corners of young people.
Perhaps it was because of his personality that the people in the Southern Cross Fleet were willing to accept him
"You and he are from the same hometown, so you can be considered old acquaintances. During these days on the ship, he will be left to you."
As both are wanderers in the world, Manye and Battousai have many similarities.
He is also the most suitable person to receive Battousai.
However, what Beidou needed more was for him to calm down Battousai, and it would be best if he didn't notice that the ship was not operating normally.
but
Beidou could sense that this Battousai must have discovered something.
Perhaps he didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he pretended to be ignorant.
In fact, just as she thought, when she said how far they were from Liyue, Bai Luo had already started complaining in his heart.
He came here on the Fatui's ship. Compared with the ships of the Southern Cross Fleet, the Fatui's ship was much more advanced and faster.
But if the Southern Cross Fleet travels at full speed, it will only take one day at most to reach Liyue from here.
In other words, the so-called three to five days was just a cover for the men she sent to Liyue to deliver the letter.
However, Bai Luo did not expose her, because if he was too anxious to go to Liyue, it would make him suspicious.
This kind of thing is like fishing, you can't be impatient, just take it step by step.
What's more, the fish are already in the pond. At worst, I can just throw away the fishing rod and take the net to catch the fish.
After nightfall, in order to celebrate the encounter with Battousai, the Southern Cross Fleet held a banquet at the suggestion of the first mate Shigezo.
Merchants, original gods, and some prominent people in the underworld all gathered on the Death Star.
Everyone was drinking happily, bragging about how Battousai had killed Bashi in anger, and having a lot of fun.
As the protagonist of the banquet, Bai Luo was surrounded by many people who toasted him.
However, when he was toasting with a merchant who looked relatively wealthy, the other party praised Bai Luo and subconsciously patted Bai Luo on the arm a few times.
It looks like an act of getting close to someone, but it actually has a different meaning.
[One of our own.]
That’s right, among these merchants who followed the Southern Cross fleet to Inazuma to do business, there were actually some Fatui members.
After all, fools are everywhere.
After completing the secret code for the meeting, there was no change in the expressions on their faces. They continued to do what they were supposed to do, just like before.
Even until the end of the banquet, the two of them had no new interactions.
The deck was in a mess after the banquet.
The sailors cleaned up the mess tacitly, while Manye sat alone on the lookout tower, gazing into the distance, wondering what he was thinking.
"I didn't see you at the party just now."
In the cold wind, Bai Luo's red dress was very conspicuous in the night.
He jumped onto the observation deck nimbly and handed the glass in his hand, without spilling a drop of wine, to Wan Ye.
"I'm sorry Mr. Battousai, I'm not good at drinking."
For ronin, wine is a refined thing.
When he told Bai Luo that he couldn't drink, he seemed a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry, this is not wine, it's juice."
Bai Luo didn't say much, but patted his shoulder gently and placed the cup next to him.
There was indeed no smell of alcohol in the liquid that was shaking as the ship swayed.
Instead, there is a sweet scent.
Manye just picked up the wine glass, but did not drink it.
After a long time, he sighed.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Battousai."
"Why do you need to apologize?"
Like the old man at the entrance of the village, Bai Luo put his hands in his sleeves and asked.
"It's about Kaigi Island. We just came back from there and have learned a little about the situation there."
Looking in the direction of Inazuma, Manye said.
It was he who introduced Bai Luo to Haiji Island in the first place, and he never thought that the situation would develop to this point.
When meeting Lady Coral Palace on Umijima Island, Manye also mentioned the matter of Battousai to her.
But once he was mentioned, Lord Coral Palace would fall silent.
The visible feeling of loneliness proved that she was helpless and reluctant about Battousai's departure.
"Just like you left Haigi Island and joined the Southern Cross Fleet, wanderers like us will not stay in the same place for long unless that place can truly hold our hearts, so there is no need to feel guilty about it."
Looking up at the moon in the sky which was always full, Bai Luo raised his head and said.
But in his heart, he was thinking about how to make Wan Ye drink this glass of wine... ... juice as quickly as possible.
You know, in order to cover up the smell of wine, he deliberately added a little sunset fruit juice into it.
"Why don't you stay in the Southern Cross Fleet, Mr. Battousai? I'll talk to the big sister, and I'm sure she'll welcome you."
If Bai Luo is willing to stay in the Southern Cross Fleet, Wan Ye should be very happy.
After all, Bai Luo is his only close friend who has given him all his friendship and is still alive and well.
You mean Beidou
The relationship between him and Beidou is more like that of family members, comrades-in-arms, and people who are worthy of being entrusted with everything.
Only on Bai Luo did he pour all his friendship.
Chapter 525: Just Some Drinks
"Teyvat is so big, I want to go around it a few more times, maybe to Xumi? Fontaine? Nata? When I get tired one day... I'll consider whether to join the Southern Cross Fleet."
What is a wanderer
There is a knife in the hand and the Tao in the heart.
The heaven and earth are our house, all spirits are our traveling companions, and the whole world is our home.
Walking towards the light and warmth is a long-lasting sentiment of human beings.
Perhaps after being used to wandering for a long time, one will begin to long for a harbor to rest.
But where is Bai Luo’s harbor
Winter? Liyue? Inazuma
But it definitely won’t be the Southern Cross Fleet.
Hey... ... Every time he thought of these things, Cole's sullen expression would always appear in front of him.
I don’t know how she is doing in Xumi.
She is one of the very few people that Bai Luo regards as family.
"It's good to take a look. These scenery are different from those in my hometown, but they are also interesting. However, seeing the wild geese returning home makes me sad."
Manye said, picking up the wine glass beside him.
There is nothing much to see at night on the sea except the sky full of stars.
But the stars are perhaps the only things on the ocean that are similar to home
“Gulp—”
As soon as Wan Ye drank the so-called juice, he immediately noticed something different.
This seems to be... ... seems to be... ... wine
