Arcane: Champion Witness System

"Oh! So you're asking who I am?" "That's a good question, my friend!" He stood before her, spat out the yellow sand from his mouth, raised both hands shoulder-high, and proudly proclaimed, "I am a big shot in Zaun's Undercity, the ninth councilor of Piltover. I am the honored hero of Bilgewater." "What have I done?" "I once set fire to the Petricite Grove in Demacia and competed in height with the Yordles in Bandle City." "..." Standing in front of her, he spoke confidently. "And now, I've encountered you in the swirling sands of Shurima." "Alright, lady, I've said my piece. Could you please put away your weapon now?" ////This is a translation, I do not own this story or any character in it.

-197- Master Linwin's wife

"Taliyah, actually, you don't have to keep saying that to thank me."

In the Zoran shop, Kai'Sa and Taliyah sat face to face at the dining table.

The current Zoran shop is no longer inhabited by Zevi and Viktor.

So, the room Zevi used to live in is now provided to Taliyah.

Zevi moved to Piltover University, and Viktor moved to Piltover as well, but outside the academy. In Piltover's wealthy district, Viktor naturally has several houses.

Old Zoran's plan didn't succeed. Although Viktor and Zevi had a good relationship, they didn't become a couple. Instead, Viktor got together with another Zaun girl.

That girl is Sky, Viktor's assistant, and also Viktor's childhood friend.

They've known each other since Viktor was very young, and she has been with Viktor as he grew up. When Viktor was a teaching assistant at Piltover University, his current girlfriend was also working as an assistant at Piltover University.

"What are you talking about?" Taliyah used a spoon; she had only been in the Zoran shop for a few days and couldn't use chopsticks as skillfully as Kai'Sa.

Waving the small spoon, Taliyah tilted her head, looking at Kai'Sa.

The Little sparrow likes Kai'Sa.

Because she is also from Shurima, meeting a fellow countryman in Zaun, Taliyah, with her lively personality, naturally wants to get close to her. Although she looks strange, not quite like a Shuriman, with a thin layer of purple exoskeleton covering her skin, Taliyah has seen that under Kai'Sa's exoskeleton, her skin is extremely fair, even whiter than Master Linwin's.

But this is normal because Kai'Sa was buried in the dark world for more than ten years. Her skin color is not the healthy light brown typical of Shurimans but a somewhat unhealthy pale.

But occasionally revealing that snowy white, combined with Kai'Sa's face and personality, is particularly fascinating.

"Wish you water and shade," Kai'Sa looked at Taliyah, then continued, "Although Linwin mentioned that Zaun was once a part of Shurima, now Zaun is Zaun. So, that blessing doesn't work here."

"The gods of Zaun don't heed that blessing."

The sparrow, close in age to Kai'Sa, immediately asked, "Then, what should I say?"

Taliyah's focus wasn't on the phrase "God of Zaun" since beliefs in different tribes in Shurima might vary. However, Taliyah didn't know that the gods of Zaun were indeed real.

Kai'Sa said, "May the haze not enter your home."

"But, Kai'Sa, I haven't seen any haze in Zaun," Taliyah sniffed and said to Kai'Sa.

With a sniff, the aroma from the bowl instantly entered her nose. Taliyah then hummed twice in delight.

After spending the day using magic on the sea, she was already so tired that she could barely lift her arms, feeling drowsy. However, after taking a comfortable hot bath, Taliyah completely revived.

Hungry, Taliyah looked at the several pieces of bread on the porcelain plate and the milky white fish soup in the bowl. Taliyah's stomach growled, but Linwin hasn't returned yet. She couldn't eat first; that would be impolite.

"The blessing of Zaun is this sentence. As for the air, those vents you see can improve the air. People here have changed the environment with technology."

Kai'Sa doesn't understand technology; she can't even recognize all the words.

And when she just came to Zaun, the air in Zaun had already been improved. Although there was still a pungent smell, it was by no means visible particulate matter.

Linwin himself is shocked by the changes in Zaun. So you can imagine how much progress Zaun has made.

"Kai'Sa, do you plan to go back in the future?"

"Back to Shurima?"

"Yeah, once Master Linwin taught me how to control my magic, I'll travel the world. After gaining experience, I'll return to Shurima to protect my people."

The confident little sparrow patted her chest.

This is a stark contrast to the timid quail that Linwin first met.

The change is due to Taliyah entrusting her heart to someone again. She has started to believe in Linwin because she has genuinely learned from him. Unlike Noxian people, Linwin didn't deceive Taliyah; he truly could teach her how to use magic.

Kai'Sa thought for a moment, then sighed, propping up her chin as she looked at Taliyah, "Whether I go back or not depends on Linwin's decision."

Taliyah looked at Kai'Sa puzzled, "?"

With an inquisitive look, the little sparrow asked, "You're going to decide based on him? Why?"

"Because I've noticed that Linwin doesn't want me to leave." The clever Kai'Sa continued, "He seems reluctant to let me go. Now that I look at it, he's using all kinds of methods to make me stay. But actually, he doesn't need to do that."

Kai'Sa looked at Taliyah.

She also understood a truth.

She alone cannot solve Shurima's problems.

This afternoon, Linwin went to Piltover to have drinks with Jayce and others, so Kai'Sa went to the dock to pick up Taliyah.

And that's when Kai'Sa saw Taliyah's magic.

On the vast sea with no one around, several thick stone pillars with a diameter of five meters pierced the sea surface, reaching towards the sky. Taliyah stood on one of the stone pillars, manipulating the damp and heavy sea sand, calmly releasing her magic.

But if Taliyah made a mistake, if the magic went out of control, the stone pillar would shatter, and the broken pieces would turn into sand clumps, smashing towards the sea surface. The waves generated by this action would splash out in a huge water spray, covering an area of about a hundred meters.

This scene was too frightening, and even Kai'Sa was genuinely scared.

The person who can protect Shurima is not just her. She used to think she was the only one who could repel those monsters.

But in reality, Taliyah seems to be better at completing this task than herself.

Taliyah, however, is unaware of her own existence, which actually made Kai'Sa think through many things.

At this moment, Kai'Sa suddenly turned her head and looked towards Linwin's room.

She heard a sound.

The sound of breaking through the air caused by the displaced air waves.

Hextech hoverboard can also make this kind of sound, but that sound is different.

So, it can only be him coming back.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, Linwin came out of his room, stood in the living room, and smiled at Kai'Sa, "I came back pretty quickly, didn't I?"

"Master Linwin!"

Taliyah saw Linwin and exclaimed, then asked, "How did you come in? Weren't you not at home?"

"He likes to use the window." Kai'Sa said, standing up and ignoring Linwin, who was smiling proudly. Instead, she went straight to the kitchen and took a clean plate from above. Then she opened the oven, took out two still steaming bread, placed the plate aside, took a pair of chopsticks skillfully, and then used a spoon to scoop up a bowl of fish soup. After that, she returned to the table.

At this moment, Linwin had already sat next to Kai'Sa, looking at Kai'Sa with a smile, head tilted. "Thank you." Linwin leaned back, raised his head, and smiled at Kai'Sa.

From a little Kai'Sa who didn't understand anything, to the current very caring and virtuous Kai'Sa!

Linwin really has a strong sense of accomplishment.

Taliyah silently watched this scene.

Recalling Kai'Sa's way of getting along with Master Linwin in the past few days, Taliyah found that she seemed to have discovered a huge secret!

Remembering what Kai'Sa just said...

Taliyah: I get it!

The reason Master Linwin doesn't let Kai'Sa go back to Shurima is because they are together!

Thinking of this, Taliyah immediately stood up and, in the puzzled eyes of Linwin and Kai'Sa, hurriedly said, "Sorry, Kai'Sa."

"Ah no, it's Mistress Kai'Sa!"

//// In Chinese, Taliyah is calling Linwin 师父 which is master/teacher and there's a term called 师娘 which usually means master/teacher's wife. There's no translation in English dictionary....so I went to the Chinese dictionary and it said Mistress.... If y'all think it's weird, I can just change it into Miss Kai'Sa. Anyhow, y'all decide.////

"I actually, I actually vaguely guessed your relationship with Master Linwin before, but, but you didn't say it, so I thought it wasn't what I thought. But now, looking at it. you are indeed my Master's wife, right?"

Taliyah's hands supported the table, and she stood up, confidently speaking.

About to sit next to Linwin, Kai'Sa exclaimed, "???"

Since when did she become Taliyah's Mistress?

Taliyah calls Linwin Master so.... isn't that the same thing?

A blush appeared on Kai'Sa's face, and she quickly explained, "No."

But someone next to her preemptively said, "Taliyah, you're really smart!"

With a piece of bread in one hand, Linwin gave Taliyah a thumbs up with the other hand and loudly said, "That's right, she's your Mistress. Call her that."

Taliyah vigorously nodded, "I understand, Master Linwin."

Standing Kai'Sa: "..."

"Smack!"

A forceful slap landed on Linwin's back, and Kai'Sa silently sat down, then bowed her head and started eating.

White teeth crushed the bread, red lips sipping the soup, Kai'Sa seemed to be venting all the complaints in her stomach through the food.

Seeing Kai'Sa in this state, Linwin chuckled inwardly.

His speculation was indeed correct.

Kai'Sa doesn't dislike him.

Although he's a single dog, Linwin is aware.

Kai'Sa, in the past, relied on him.

Not out of love.

She depended on Linwin's presence because he didn't reject her, making Kai'Sa feel the sense of being needed.

Humans need social interaction, and Kai'Sa has been enduring loneliness, not because she likes it.

But now, he doesn't know when it started, Kai'Sa's dependence on Linwin has slowly changed its flavor.

It's changing bit by bit.

Probably when Linwin always asked her to find something she liked to do. Since Kai'Sa came to Zaun, Linwin has never ordered her; instead, he has been taking care of her and teaching her.

In Zaun, Kai'Sa finally lived like a human.

She's no longer the strong Void hunter from Shurima.

She's no longer the monster who always drove away the Sand people with a cold face.

Kai'Sa is not a tool, not a weapon!

She's just... an unlucky yet fortunate human girl.

This kind of dependence that Kai'Sa slowly understands is called what.

It's called liking.

It's a human emotion.

"You're really shameless," Kai'Sa kicked Linwin's foot under the table.

But Linwin just smiled as if nothing happened.

Taliyah, my little helper!

"I may have been presumptuous, but if you dislike it, you would have refused directly." Linwin whispered to Kai'Sa.

"I didn't say I dislike it." Kai'Sa gave Linwin a glance.

"But you didn't refuse."

"."

"Master, Mistress, what are you talking about?" Taliyah looked at the two who were whispering, curious.

Kai'Sa immediately shook her head and calmly said, "Nothing, let's eat."

"Yes!" Taliyah, who had been eager to eat, got Master's approval and immediately took a big bite of the fragrant hot bread, showing a happy expression.

On the side, someone smirked.

"You see, you've accepted this title."

"Get lost!"

Kai'Sa used her shoulder to push away this shameless guy.

But...

It's strange.

Different from the last time when Powder came and she was on Linwin's bed.

Back then, she was nervous and worried.

But now, the joy is different. Why is it different?

Watching Linwin, with a smiling face, reward Taliyah by placing a piece of fish into her bowl, Kai'Sa smirked.

Can't be happy...

At least, not now.

Otherwise, this guy will tease again.
