-134- Chubby Blue Bird

"Hey!"

The girl who caused a strong sense of defeat in Seraphine quickly ran down the stairs. 

As soon as she reached the entrance of the Flower Street community, she enthusiastically greeted Sain and Seraphine, waving her hand. 

Her dazzling yellow-green hair flowed like radiant fireworks, and she cheerfully exclaimed, "You two should have mentioned you're from Zaun earlier. If you had, I wouldn't have treated you that way!"

"You said you know Grandpa Kaya, right? Then come with me! Flower Street community welcomes all Zaunites to visit!"

Without hesitation, she grabbed Seraphine's hand, her warm demeanor making Seraphine a bit overwhelmed.

"Oh my, your hand is so soft!"

Seraphine could only nod, feeling the warmth from the other girl and hearing her inner thoughts. Then, she noticed something different.

Crackling sounds, seemingly dangerous but looking quite gentle.

After hesitating for a moment, Seraphine replied, "Thank you for the compliment."

"Is this even a compliment? I said your hand is soft, that's not praising you. It's a fact. Look at my hands, oh, mine are not as soft as yours. I also want hands like yours, but my mom says Zaunite children's hands are meant for inventing. So, can you guess?"

Seraphine nodded.

"Oh, can't guess?"

Shaking her head, Seraphine said, "Are you trying to say you're an inventor?"

"Exactly! You're really smart. I meant that."

She was genuinely warm, like a little sun, leading Sain and Seraphine into the Flower Street community while talking non-stop.

"Don't be fooled by my age. I'm an important figure in the community, and everyone likes me, along with my abilities."

She continued talking and then asked Seraphine, "By the way, people from Piltover... I mean, my Zaunite friend, what's your name?"

"Seraphine."

"Seraphine? What a beautiful name! And it's even four words long! Unlike me, I only have two."

//// It means in Chinese Seraphine takes 4 character to make and the other girl takes 2.////

"But strangely, there seem to be very few people with four words in their names in Zaun. Your name sounds a bit like someone from Piltover."

She chattered on, even making comments about the name Sain gave to Seraphine.

While Seraphine found it amusing, Sain seemed somewhat unhappy about it.

"Oh, you haven't told me your name."

Sain listened to the conversation between his daughter and the lively girl.

Despite the noise, Sain knew that with Seraphine's ability to sense thoughts, making friends was not as simple as it seemed. When you can hear the depths of someone's soul, even if you want to turn a blind eye, it's quite challenging.

Seeing his daughter talking to the other girl so actively, Sain knew that this girl was a good kid.

Sure, she was a bit noisy, but isn't a lively atmosphere a good thing?

"Me? Oh, didn't I mention my name earlier?"

Seraphine smiled at her, shaking her head. "You only said your name has two words but didn't say what those two words are."

"Oh, right, I forgot."

"Really sorry, Phinny."

Seraphine: "???"

"My name is Zeri!"

"We've found the person you were looking for, Councilor Linwin."

The office door was pushed open, and entering, the Piltovan enforcer first respectfully saluted Linwin, then straightened up and said, "But they are not in Piltover right now. Councilor Linwin, according to Sain's wife, Sain took Seraphine to Zaun."

"What?"

"Uh, I mean, Sain took Seraphine, the one you're looking for, to Zaun."

The enforcer quickly repeated.

He looked at the young man in front of him, admiration and reverence shining in his eyes.

This was the man who saved Piltover.

On that night, the enforcer witnessed Councilor Linwin flying through the sky, effortlessly killing Noxians with a wave of his hand.

But now, Councilor Linwin seemed to have a headache.

Linwin stood there, rubbing his head, ruffling his hair, then said, "What's going on? Anyway, Enforcer, what's your name?"

"Councilor, you can call me Scop."

Scop said excitedly.

"Okay, Scop, I'm going to Zaun now, so I'm entrusting you with a task."

"Yes, Councilor, please tell me!"

"While I'm away, if anyone comes looking for me, tell them I've gone out for an inspection, especially Councilors Talis and Ferros. Don't let them know I've gone to Zaun."

"I understand!"

"Good, I leave it to you, Scop!"

Linwin walked over, patted Scop on the shoulder.

In the excited gaze of Scop, Linwin also patted Kaisa, explaining the current situation to her, and Kaisa nodded immediately.

Then, Linwin pushed open the specially made glass door of his room.

Standing on the balcony, he opened his arms, and Kaisa skillfully jumped up, hanging on Linwin's back.

Then, in Scop's eyes, Linwin, with Kaisa, flew away from the Council building.

Many people in Piltover saw this scene.

But with just one glance, everyone knew who the person flying in the sky was.

Especially those Piltovan people who had been saved by Linwin.

The person flying in the sky with someone on his back—Councilor Linwin, the ninth councilor of Piltover.

A powerful man.

---

Flying from Piltover, Linwin called out a name in mid-air.

"Janna, come out for a moment."

"Hm?"

The wind blew, lifting the hair into a swirling mass. In Kaisa's shocked vision, a chubby little bird appeared and wiggled its butt, perching on Linwin's head.

"Why did you become so fat?"

Kaisa tilted her body backward, trying to see the situation on Linwin's head clearly. Then, when she saw it, Kaisa instinctively blurted out.

Straightforward and outspoken, the seemingly cold indifferent female warrior?

No, it's a gluttonous and lazy but kind-hearted female warrior!

"Fat?" Linwin didn't immediately understand what Kaisa meant, but after realizing, he quickly reached up to touch his head.

The feedback from his hand made Linwin stunned.

What is this chubby thing?

Is this Janna?

He has touched Janna before!

Janna is not like this!

Janna's bird form is a cute little blue bird, so petite that one would be afraid to touch it, fearing it might break.

So what is this chubby thing on his head?

Linwin lifted Janna in front of him, and then his pupils suddenly contracted.

In front of him was a round ball of a bird.

The blue eyes of the bird were squeezed into the flesh, chubby like a ball.

"This... Janna, how did you become so fat?"

"-!"

Flapping its fat wings, the Goddess Janna tried to fly, but after a few flaps, she gave up.

"There have been too much power of belief lately. I haven't been able to digest it yet."

Janna whispered.

Linwin immediately understood.

It means she's eaten too much, right? After all, those Piltovans who once abandoned Janna's faith have now become Janna's most devout followers.

These increments of belief almost caused Janna to fall into a deep sleep.

But it wasn't a bad situation, rather one in the right direction. 

This time, Janna revealed a miracle, just like when she saved Zaun during the splitting of Piltover and Zaun. This time, on the Bridge, Janna saved Piltover.

As a result, the power of belief this time was no less than that of a few hundred years ago.

Therefore, Janna's power has reached an unprecedented level.

Originally, as a human-made deity of belief, Janna was different from other demigods. Perhaps she is now far weaker than some ancient gods, but Janna's upper limit is much higher than theirs.

If everyone on the entire Runeterra believed in this Wind God...

Then, perhaps Janna's demigod status could be removed.

And now....

Linwin is holding back a laugh.

"Do not laugh."

Flapping her wings to pat Linwin's head, Janna's voice was calm, but the three words "Do not laugh," even with the ethereal voice and calm tone, revealed a hint of frustration.

As for Janna, she actually didn't care about being fat or not. As the embodiment of the wind, as a deity, Janna certainly wouldn't care about her physical appearance.

But the problem is, Linwin and Kaisa's shocked and unbelieving tones made Janna a bit annoyed.

Of course, she can have emotions.

Although she is a demigod, who said that gods cannot have emotions?

So, at this moment, in front of Linwin, the chubby little bird took a breath, as if trying to make herself a bit thinner.

But then she immediately deflated.

"Speak, why did you summon me?"

Janna sighed.

Recently, she planned not to come out if she didn't have to.

Now, in her human form, Janna is also chubby and round. Therefore, she chooses to stay in the bird form.

At least in the bird state, it's still cute, right?

Linwin suppressed his laughter and coughed before saying, "I'm looking for a girl with pink-purple hair, her name is Seraphine, and she should be somewhere in Zaun now."

"Pink-purple hair?"

A sound squeezed out from Janna's throat as she flapped her wings.

"I know where she is."
