"He's really good at flirting!"
Seeing the animated short co to an end, Elysia didn't imdiately engage in dialogue but instead clutched her chest and said:
"That gesture, that tone, that voice actually made my heart skip a beat. It seems I've t my match."
"It's a pity I can't personally take the stage and can only choose what Lumine wants to say. Otherwise, I would definitely have a showdown with him."
"You can still have a showdown now! Can't Elysia connect with the Supre Bishop?"
"Yeah, let's have a showdown between the real mom and dad, see who can make the other's heart flutter first."
"Whoever's heart flutters first loses!"
"I'd like to try too, but unfortunately, our Supre Bishop is so mysterious that no one can find him."
Elysia shook her head regretfully.
"Sotis I really doubt whether he is the Supre Bishop himself, or if he's just broken through the dinsional wall."
Not joking, she actually really has this speculation.
But of course, everyone would only think she's joking, and she herself isn't sure if she has even a bit of confidence in her speculation. After all, no normal person would believe such a thing.
The fact that Elysia can even have such thoughts shows how imaginative she is.
So after shaking her head, Elysia stopped thinking about such things and continued to push the plot—she believes that if her bold speculation is true, then sooner or later, she will genuinely et that man.
"Why are you here?"
Lumine looked at the man in front of her with vigilance and seriousness, feeling a bit complicated inside.
On one hand, although she couldn't understand why the Supre Bishop of Fontaine could command the Fatui Harbingers, it was certain that the Harbinger Crucabena followed the Supre Bishop's orders.
And what this man commanded the Fatui Harbinger to do in the Shanhaijing made Lumine feel extrely wary.
Although according to Longhua, it wasn't a fatal poison, and with Longhua's power, it was easily cured—but the act of poisoning an entire island was undeniably evil, and it's hard to say this man is a good person.
Undoubtedly, this is a man more dangerous than the Fatui Harbingers, no, even more dangerous than the Fatui Harbingers.
On the other hand, Lumine has another kind of wariness towards this man.
That is... she occasionally dreams of this man.
Without ntioning the content of the dreams, they make Lumine unable not to be wary of this man.
Since eting this man in the Shanhaijing, she has been very suspicious that the reason she has those dreams is because of this man.
After all, if the man in the dream really exists, why would she dream of him before even eting him? And it's that kind of dream.
Just thinking about this question naturally makes her wary.
"Don't be too nervous or afraid. I know because of so previous events, you have so misunderstandings about , but I an no harm to you."
Ye looked at Lumine and Paimon, speaking calmly.
And to this, Lumine and Paimon's reactions were...
Paimon: "Why does this sound familiar?"
Lumine: "That's what Tartaglia said back then."
"How can you compare to him? He's a Fatui Harbinger!"
Ye couldn't help but frown, feeling severely insulted.
And to his heavy tone of dissatisfaction, Paimon couldn't help but feel a bit guilty: "Ah, sorry, being compared to a Fatui Harbinger is indeed not good."
"It's fine, as long as you understand."
Ye's tone softened.
"I don't want to be thought of as the sa kind of person as those Fatui Harbingers. I tell you, they all have sothing wrong with their heads, not a single normal person."
To Ye's words, Paimon couldn't help but nod in agreent, while Lumine twitched the corner of her mouth speechlessly.
(Do you think you're any better?)
"Supre... why are you here?"
Kurisu interjected at this mont, unable to hide the excitent on his face.
Ye also looked at him: "Lady Furina is very worried about the Fontaine people stranded in Inazuma due to the Sakoku Decree, so she sent here, hoping to resolve this issue."
"Even in a foreign land, Lady Furina is still protecting us?"
Kurisu couldn't contain his excitent, his face full of joy and gratitude, wanting to kneel down and pray to Lady Furina in front of the Supre Bishop.
Ye stopped him: "Don't make a scene. If it's known that I'm in Inazuma, the Raiden Shogun will surely co to kill . I can't withstand her. To solve the problem, we need to plan carefully."
"You're afraid of the Raiden Shogun?"
Lumine couldn't help but ask.
Ye answered sincerely: "I'm just a clergyman, not skilled in combat. How could I not fear the might of a god?"
Paimon looked unconvinced: "You didn't seem afraid of Longhua before."
"In terms of combat power, that Shanhaijing Immortal is no less than the Raiden Shogun, but she has concerns and doesn't dare to act recklessly in the Shanhaijing, so she couldn't do anything to ."
Ye explained patiently and calmly.
"But the Raiden Shogun is different. Although she also has concerns, she has ans to make herself not need to worry."
Lumine tilted her head slightly: "ans?"
"You'll find out later." Ye just answered like this, then looked at Kurisu again: "I heard what you said earlier. That rchant obviously has a problem—although I can't solve Inazuma's Sakoku issue in a short ti, I can help you with the tax problem."
"Really? Supre... sorry, I'm not doubting you, I'm just too excited."
"Alright, tell where that rchant is."
"I rember to find him, go to the seaside tree in the residential area. That's where we usually et him."
Ye nodded slightly, then looked at Lumine and Paimon: "Do you want to co with ? Maybe we can take this opportunity to clear up so misunderstandings you have about ."
(Misunderstandings... speaking of which, the him I saw today is completely different from the him I saw last ti, without that instinctive oppressive fear.)
Lumine pondered.
(This Supre Bishop of the Fontaine Cathedral is really mysterious. Maybe I can learn a lot through him.)
Thinking this, Lumine nodded: "Alright, we'll go with you."
The dialogue ends here, and the next task is to follow the Supre Bishop.
Elysia looked at the computer screen, where the Supre Bishop turned around and walked down the street, and imdiately controlled Lumine to follow.
This task doesn't allow switching characters, only using Lumine to follow the Supre Bishop, with Paimon flying beside.
As the Supre Bishop walked down the street, he spoke softly: "I've long heard of the fa of the traveler from another land. You're from another world, right?"
"Correct." Paimon nodded: "She ca from outside this world, and when she wanted to leave, an unknown god blocked her path, so she's stranded in this world."
"In that case, we have sothing in common, because I also ca from outside this world."
Lumine couldn't help but exclaim: "You too?"
"Ohhh, so this line is used here!" Elysia nodded happily: "When I recorded it, I was wondering who this line was for."
On the computer, the Supre Bishop naturally ignored Elysia and continued: "I ca to this world five hundred years ago. For so reason, I was unconscious for ten years after arriving. Lady Furina took care of until I woke up."
"So you stayed in Fontaine to repay the Hydro Archon's kindness and beca her subordinate?" Paimon nodded understandingly: "I didn't expect you to be such a grateful person. I really misjudged you before. Wait, then why did you poison the people in Shanhaijing? That's too much, no matter how you explain it."
"I was a bit too hasty at the ti, and I do feel guilty, but the power I sensed from her made unable to ignore it—after all, it's the power I once lost."
"Eh? You lost your power too, like Lumine? But you're so strong!"
Ye didn't answer this question but instead said: "The poison I had Arlecchino use wasn't fatal, and I actually gave her the antidote. Although my actions were improper, I was sowhat prepared and didn't intend to kill anyone."
"Even so, it's still too much."
"Sorry, I realize that now, and I won't do such things again."
Ye apologized honestly.
"Uh... although we've only t once before, and I can't say I know you, but your polite attitude is really unfamiliar."
"Then what kind of attitude do you think I should have?"
"Hmm..."
Paimon crossed her arms and thought, then...
"Uh... uh... I can't imagine what kind of attitude you should have when talking to people... I just think you should be more authoritative."
"So people do think I'm authoritative, but that's just my daily disguise. After all, as the Supre Bishop of the Fontaine Cathedral, I need to maintain an authoritative image."
Ye spoke truthfully:
"But with you two, I don't need to put on that disguise, do I?"
Seeing Paimon almost completely swayed, Lumine finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked directly: "What's your purpose in approaching us?"
"This encounter is just a coincidence—although I could say that, it would be too insincere."
Ye finally stopped, turned around, and looked Lumine in the eye.
"From the mont you left Liyue, I received news. When you set foot on Ritou, I ca imdiately. Naturally, my purpose is you, Traveler—I want to ask for your help."
Lumine's expression turned serious, holding her breath.
Ye spoke softly:
"Traveler, will you join in defeating the Raiden Shogun?"
