Chapter 26

The bard, Venti didn't know that he needed Dvalin's teardrop crystals until he touched the Holy Lyre.

The young man in front of him simply knew everything like the back of his hand and arranged everything properly.

"When they got the Holy lyre from the Fatuis, they had already collected these teardrops, and I took them together. I didn't expect it to come in handy!"

Summer's explanation obviously couldn't convince Venti, but Jean and Lumine had no doubts:

"Sure enough, the Fatuis are trying to steal the Holy lyre? What are they going to do with it!"

"Probably planning to use the sound of the lyre to control Dvalin! We must hurry up!"

Venti did not throw the doubts in his heart to Summer, ​​and after a short period of wonder, he returned to his relaxed poetical appearance.

"The color of these crystals is even more turbid... What kind of torture is Dvalin enduring!"

"Let's purify these crystals, and then hurry up to rescue Dvalin!"

Lumine took the teardrop crystals from Summer's hand, and the two who did not have the 'Vision' did not have to worry about the invasion of corruption.

After removing the turbidity, Dvalin's teardrops turned into a line of liquid-like wind moistening each string.

When the last tear is dried, the Holy lyre shines again with brilliance like a thousand years ago.

Venti happily hugged his old friend again.

It is a familiar atmosphere. He is very sure that the current Holy lyre will be able to play the most beautiful music.

"Success! The wind element is overflowing to a lively level, so there should be no problem!"

"Then, where should we call Stormterror? It's not possible in Mondstadt. If it fails, it will cause irreparable losses..."

Jean's doubts were recognized by Diluc: "As expected of the Knights who guard Mondstadt, they always consider things so thoroughly..."

Recently, the wind dragon is synonymous with disaster, and Jean doesn't want to see disaster shrouded in the city again.

Venti seemed to have an idea, but instead of stating it directly, he passed the ball to Summer:

"Let's leave this question to Summer! I think he must know where is the most suitable place."

Somewhat unexpectedly, he was asked about it, recalling the plot in the game, Summer replied:

"The sea breeze or the high wind can make the poet's song travel farther..."

"Playing the lyre while flying?" Lumine looked at Paimon: "I'm afraid only Paimon can do that, but it's a pity that Paimon can't play the lyre."

"I don't know if it's too late to learn now?" Paimon believed it and thought about it.

The most stable Diluc closed his eyes and recalled the entire Mondstadt landscape in his mind:

"The place where the sea breeze and the mountain breeze converge is also the most suitable place for Cecilia flowers to grow... A place full of Cecilia flowers..."

"Starfall Lake is a certain distance to the east, and there is a mountain in the south of the beach. Climbing along the direction of the extension of the mountain, you can reach a place called Starsnatch Cliff."

"The sea breeze and the mountain breeze you want can be found there!"

Venti agreed: "The Starsnatch cliff is indeed a very good location."

The required props were prepared, and the location of the action was determined. Everything went more smoothly than expected.

"Dvalin Conservation Club, let's go!"

Even in the middle of the night, everyone couldn't wait.

"Let's wait first! Starsnatch Cliff is close to the edge of Mondstadt and the seaside. If you walk there, it will take at least two days."

"Wait for a while, I'll go get ready."

Diluc restrained Venti's impulse and left the tavern first.

Venti was thinking about stealing high-end wine while the boss was away, and she was stopped by the justice Jean because "any crime she sees must be stopped".

Venti's eyes are full of disappointment, but the reliable Lord Diluc never disappoints.

When he came back, he brought two horses and a carriage that looked extraordinary, more luxurious than the last ride of Summer.

"I don't know if there is a big bed in the carriage, so I can get a good night's sleep." Summer was looking forward to it.

The handsome curves, the whole body up and down, all white, with no variegation, people can't help but praise "good horse!", even the calm Jean can't help but praise.

The other horse was the complete opposite. It was completely dark, and in the dark, only those eyes were dashing.

Diluc rides on it, the 'Darknight Hero' is so handsome.

With the Grandmaster and the richest man in Mondstadt leading the way, the carriage easily skipped all searches.

"Because it is night, the speed of travel will be slower, and the second half is a mountain road, and the road conditions are very bad."

"It takes at least four hours to get from Mondstadt to the Starsnatch cliff, and the arrival time is almost dawn. You can rest for a while."

The butler of the Dawn Winery is responsible for driving the carriage, and Venti said that to feel the cool night breeze, he chose to stay on the roof of the car.

Inside the carriage, only Lumine, Paimon, and Summer were left.

"Summer, you should rest for a while, you look very tired."

Summer was sleepy, and he couldn't tell whether it was Paimon or Lumine's voice.

Unlike these Mondstadt's heroes, he was pretending to be in spirit and being shaken by the carriage, he was already in a state of unconsciousness.

"Then I'll sleep for a while..."

Before he could finish speaking, he immediately fell. Fortunately, the place where his forehead hit was soft, otherwise, a wound would have been inevitable.

"Man-eater! You took advantage of Lumine! Hurry up... get up...!"

"Summer got us the Holy lyre. Although he didn't say anything, it must be very hard. Paimon, don't make fun of him!"

"I didn't hate him... Lumine, I want to sleep on you too!"

"Well, let's sleep together, I'm tired too."

"Lumine, your body smells so good... I knew I had put on more of the body wash yesterday..."

The wind at night was very cold, and the three people in the carriage couldn't help but curl up even tighter.

…

When the early morning sunlight came through the gap in the window and came to their faces.

Lumine leaned against the carriage and hadn't woken up yet.

Beautiful curvy eyelashes, thin pink lips, naturally drooping blonde hair.

Summer opened his eyes in confusion and couldn't help wanting to reach out and touch...

Lumine just opened her eyes, rubbed her eyes, and made a lazy voice: "Good morning."

"Morning, good morning!"

Summer discovered that he was sleeping on Lumine's lap. Not only that but Paimon was being held in his arms like a doll.

He sat up quickly, panicked for a while, and Paimon was thrown out of his arms, almost rushing out of the carriage while rolling.

"Ouch—"

"Sorry, sorry!"

Summer quickly brought Paimon back.

"My head! Do you wake up so startled every day?" Paimon covered her head and sobbed softly.

"Today was an accident... Did I sleep like that last night? Sleeping on Lummine's lap?"

"Of course, as soon as you close your eyes, you're like a pig. I've tried my best and couldn't lift you!"

"No wonder I slept so soundly..." Even if he was awake, he might have taken the initiative to pretend to be asleep.

Paimon is still angry: "Hurry up and rub Lumine's legs, her legs are numb because of you! And my head should be rubbed too."

Summer was happy, but Lumine pulled Paimon back and put it on her lap as a doll: "No need, let's rub Paimon's head!"

Enjoying the Summer's massage on the head, Paimon was not satisfied: "How are you going to repay and compensate us?"

Summer thought for a while: "Then next time I sleep with you in my arms and let you rest on me, how about it as an apology?"

"What did you say!"

Paimon took off directly and threw herself on Summer's face.

"Hey, hey, I can't see... my eyes, eyes..."

While joking around, Jean's reminder came from outside: "It's almost there, there will be a steep road later, be careful so hold it steady."

"Oh!"

Before he could answer, the carriage began to shake violently, and then jumped back and forth. I thought it was about to fall apart!

Summer leaned against the corner, used his body as a meat pad, and then pulled Lumine and Paimon closer to prevent the bumps from hurting them.

Poof!

Then severe pain stimulated his cranial nerves, and his rib was hit by an unknown source, and he almost went into shock.

He first thought it was Paimon, but with her weight and strength, she shouldn't be so heavy.

There is only one suspect in the end!

"I'm sorry." Lumine was like a child who did something wrong, stroking Summer's chest back and forth.

"It wasn't intentional, it just happened that my elbow..."

Paimon leaned into Lumine's ear: "Good job!"

"...it's okay..."

His chest was gently rubbed, and he couldn't say anything angry.
