Chapter 374 372: Little Witch’s Story Ends, Next Is Adult Time?
Chapter 374 372: Little Witch’s Story Ends, Next Is Adult Time?
Having played up to this point, everyone now understood the full story behind it.
More than five hundred years ago, Alice had once helped Idyia and given her this bottle.
After that, Idyia had lived in the desert the whole time.
Occasionally, travelers who got lost or were in danger.
She would lend them aid.
The travelers would rest and recuperate here, while also contemplating life.
Realizing dreams and the like.
However, in the end, everyone would choose to return to reality.
Leaving Idyia alone...
Fortunately, Idyia did not feel sad about this; she only occasionally felt a little lonely.
Klee told Idyia that she had been very happy on this journey.
The little one was still thinking about the flying vehicles even now.
Idyia laughed, "Haha, then I guess that counts as repaying Lady Alice's kindness from back then. No matter how you look at it, this desert place is just muddy soup..."
"Hehe, then I'll give you a nickname—you'll be the Muddy Water Spirit! Wow, Idyia is a Muddy Water Spirit!"
Paimon leaned in close and started teasing Idyia.
Idyia grabbed Paimon with her hand, "You still dare to laugh at me—I'll eat you in one bite, ahwoo."
Then she pretended to eat her, and the atmosphere became cheerful.
Although Idyia had felt a bit embarrassed earlier.
Letting everyone see her awkward side.
But with Veluriyam Mirage restored and running, it would become livelier and livelier.
Because of that, she grew even happier.
"After everyone goes back to rest, let's have a good play session again." Lumine suggested.
"Yay! Call everyone together—Klee wants to ride the flying vehicles again!"
[At this point, the Sumeru storyline should be considered over, right?]
[Thanks for the company along the way]
[Farewell, nation of wisdom]
——————
Guinaifen looked at these bullet comments and couldn't help speaking up.
"Look at you, always in a hurry."
"Mu Yang's arrangements haven't come out yet, and you're already rushing to leave?"
[Seems like it—let's see if there are side quests]
[Swimsuits! Must have swimsuits!]
Guinaifen opened the quest list—there was indeed a side quest.
The name was straightforward: "Swimsuit Welfare Episode", but it couldn't be accepted yet.
It would unlock in two days.
"Ahem, is this something that can be streamed for 12+?"
[Supervisors don't rush, censors don't rush—let me rush first]
[Now I have no choice but to start it up]
[Two whole days—damn it!]
——————
Back in Teyvat.
Kokomi was preparing to head back.
However, she had no intention of taking that ritual vessel with her.
Rather than bringing it back to Narukami Island to sit unused, leaving it here with Idyia would be more suitable.
The current Narukami Island already had a new treasure, and people's wishes were gradually coming true.
This divine artifact could remain to guard the mirage in the bottle, accompanying the dreams of the women who pass by.
[The new treasure probably refers to all the seafood orders after the end of the Sakoku Decree]
[The treasure is of course my Kokomi]
[Treasure = Kokomi, instant kill]
Collei and the others were also planning their route.
The little guide thought, "If we go from Aaru Village... we can pass through Caravan Ribat, Chinat... detour to Sumeru City..."
Eula thought this route was good.
Lessig proactively offered to help.
If they needed to buy anything along the way, go ahead and buy it.
He would handle carrying the bags.
As long as it wasn't so much that they couldn't walk.
Eula glanced at him, "Who has that many gifts to send..."
After hearing this, Klee seemed unhappy.
She started naming people, "Mommy, Big Brother Albedo, Captain Jean, Razor... and Big Sister Diona, Big Sister Mona, Big Sister Fischl..."
['Ke' Khan mobilizing troops]
[Someone actually remembers my commoner war god Razor?!]
[Where's Auntie Lisa?]
[Wendy: Woo woo, no gift for me?]
Collei asked her, "What kind of gifts does Klee want to pick for everyone?"
Klee thought for a moment, "Hmm... sunset valley-flavored candy, and big hats like the fungi, and also..."
"Klee wants to buy lots and lots of storybooks to give everyone!"
After finishing everyone's gifts, Klee realized she hadn't thought of a return gift for Mommy yet.
Eula comforted her, "It's okay—we'll look as we go, the big sisters will help too."
"Mm, thank you, big sister!"
[Is this the charm of the group's favorite? Even Eula doesn't hold grudges anymore]
[It's fine, even if she remembers, she won't take revenge]
When Lumine found Idyia, she was muttering something to herself.
When Lumine asked, Idyia didn't hide it.
"[Welcome to Veluriyam Mirage. I hope you can temporarily forget the fatigue of your journey here and rest well.]"
This was the welcome speech Idyia had originally wanted to say when they first met.
Unfortunately, too many things happened afterward.
There hadn't been time to say something like this.
"Now that everything is restored, how about suddenly adding this line? It sounds pretty formal, right?"
"Feels pretty good. Idyia, have you seen Mu Yang? I looked everywhere and couldn't find him."
Idyia shook her head, "He asked about how to use the [Preformed Map] yesterday and then left."
Paimon frowned, "Could Mu Yang want to stay here to realize some dream?"
"Maybe, but for now, let's first go see off Kokomi and the others—we'll talk about the rest later."
Lumine and Idyia saw off Kokomi and the others.
Escorting them to the edge of the desert.
The main storyline of the event was considered complete.
Mondstadt.
The tiny Spark Knight returned like lightning in her new clothes.
She was now the Red Cake Witch.
"For a witch, what is the most important thing?"
After returning to Mondstadt, the big and small knights sat on the city wall, watching the spinning windmills in the city as they chatted.
Although Klee had long heard the title of witch.
After hearing the story of that crimson witch from back then, the word slowly took on a different meaning in her mind.
She remembered that in the adults' mouths, the important matter closely tied to identity was supposed to be called 'responsibility'?
The short-sword great thief gave a mysterious smile, swirling the wine glass in her hand.
She began to 'fool' Klee.
The reason witches are called witches is because they can use magical magic.
The most important thing for witches is to think about how to use the wondrous power of magic.
That crimson witch from back then used her own magic to fulfill others' wishes.
She created a cool paradise in the desert.
She was praised by people, written into happy stories, and became the source of holidays and laughter.
Perhaps somewhere in the world there are also ill-tempered witches, or witches who suffered sad events.
They misused magic, making people angry and tearful just like them...
"Miss Red Cake Witch Klee, how do you plan to use your magic from now on?"
The short-sword great thief said this, gently clinking glasses with the tiny witch and returning the question to its owner.
Klee shook her head, the juice in her cup reflecting her innocent smile: "Klee wants to make everyone super happy!"
Saying this, she suddenly became troubled.
People who are unhappy definitely have reasons to be sad—if she directly used magic to make them laugh, wouldn't their laughter look worse than crying?
Fortunately, her little head turned quickly, and the answer came soon:
Just erase everyone's troubles!
"For example, use magic so everyone doesn't get sick anymore, doesn't worry about Mora. Then everyone can eat fish every meal, stay healthy, and play carefree every day."
Feeling that wasn't enough, Klee rested her cheek on her hand, gazing at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance.
"I also want... to hear everyone's wishes, save every single person's wish, and use the most most most powerful magic. To bring everyone the most most most wanted happiness."
People smile the best when they're truly happy.
The surface of Fruit Wine Lake had long ago taught Klee this truth.
The short-sword great thief was momentarily stunned.
Soon, that surprise was brushed away by the gentle west wind, turning into feelings of relief and comfort.
"Then our little Klee has to work hard~ One day in the future, you and your magic will definitely appear in the most most most wonderful story."
Within the story, the Cake Red Witch traveled with her companions to every corner of Teyvat.
Wherever they went, troubles and bad people obediently stepped aside, poverty and illness vanished without a trace.
Sweet flowers bloomed in clusters, accompanied by bonfires, candlelight, and stars.
Joyful songs entwined with light dances, and the happy banquet would never end.
