93 Tree

Two days before arrival in Inazuma. Normally I would have just booked it and flown there myself, but I'm quite enjoying Beidou's company so let's not do that. What did I mean by Beidou's company? Well, said woman who was drunk at the moment was holding onto me like I'm some sort of body pillow.

"Ehehe~ You're so soft Ae~"

She even started calling me Ae. Just how much did she drink for her to be like this? Well, not that I'm complaining really. It's quite nice seeing her like this. Even though her boobs rubbing against me was quite distracting… and arousing.

"Really now? Want to use me as a pillow for the next two days then?"

"Oh~? Can I~?"

"Sure, why not?"

"Ehehe, I'll take you up on that offer then~"

Man, I really do love a tipsy Beidou. She's just so fucking precious. I wanna cuddle this creature all day. And I'll do exactly that.

I wrapped my arms around the woman hugging me and we began to cuddle. Damn she's really fucking soft. I could fall asleep with just this, but let's do that another time. For now, I'll just watch over her.

Looking up at the rocking roof of the Alcor, I breathed a sigh of relief. I can no longer feel the gaze of the Electro Archon. I don't know if she decided to stop watching me or if she's just plotting something behind the scenes. Either way, I still need to keep my guard up when I enter Inazuma.

"If she ever decides to attack me though, I'll just have to fend her off."

-x-X-x-

A day has passed and there were still no signs of the Electro Archon making a move. To be completely honest, it's starting to bug me a little. For the past few hours, my guard has been up to the point that the black highlights at the tip of my hair started to grow larger.

"This hair of yours surely is something."

And right now, said hair was being braided by Beidou. I was insistent that I could do it on my own, but she was even more insistent that she wanted to do it. I didn't really want to spark a fight on a moving ship, so I just let her do what she wanted.

While she continued playing with my hair, I finally decided to use that weird Vision that I now wield. Everyone around me noticed it, the black-colored Electro Vision on my waist. Sometimes it even made a small arc that comes in contact with Beidou's Vision.

It's like Beidou's Vision was a Positive charge while mine was Negative.

Using just a small portion of it, I tried making a small bolt. However, it didn't work as the bolt quickly grew in proportions. It tried to go and reach out towards Beidou, but luckily I was quick to act.

I used Geo and made a shield around her. The Negative charge bounced off the shield and instead tried to hit me. Creating a small vortex using Anemo, I caught the charge. It's… weird. It feels like it's alive.

And I think very much so was alive. I couldn't make it disappear. Not even Gluttony nor Pride can make it disappear. So, I just created a small orb around it.

"Just what is that thing?" Beidou asked.

"I don't know for sure, but one thing is for certain, I can't control it." I said as I looked at the orb on my hand. The little bolt was moving wildly inside the orb. I took a peak at the Vision to my side and was relieved that it wasn't running wild or anything.

Taking a sigh, I put the orb inside my Realm and decided to just keep it there for the time being. I'll leave that problem to the future me. It may sound like a bad idea, but I'm sure that I can handle it.

-x-X-x-

I hate yesterday me. Seriously, why the hell would I leave something problematic behind? When I looked inside my realm, the orb was still there, but something else was in it now… It looked like a small serpent… Why do I feel like this little thing can turn into Jormungandr?

Something's weird as well… I can sense Beidou's energy on this serpent as well…

…

Ganyu and Havria is going to fucking kill me if they find out about this.

Speaking of my wives, I want to visit them in the teapot, but due to the way that thing works, I can't use it in a moving boat. If I did, I'll just be transported back to sea. I need to wait until I arrive at Inazuma, which sucks.

"Anyways, time to take care of this little guy."

Using all of my elemental abilities, I created a tree powerful enough to even contain beings like me and Lumine. This might be a bad idea since someone might use this structure to seal me, but I won't let that happen. After all, I still have a family to build.

I put the orb inside the trunk of the tree. Why do I feel like I've seen this somewhere before? Eh, let's just get this over with so I can go back to the ship. Wouldn't want to raise any suspicion after all.

When I got back to the ship, I felt that gaze again. Heh, was she worried I disappeared for a malicious reason? I looked in her direction and then…

Released just enough energy to disrupt her own. I want to sleep since I used quite a bit of energy from that, and I'm not letting her ruin that for me. Luckily, she took the hint. Thank myself.

"Ah, a soft bed." I said as I plopped down on my bed. It wouldn't normally feel this comfortable, but I'm tired, so cut me some slack. I began to slowly drift into the world of sleep, having little to no worries about what is to come ahead of me.
