Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Chapter 233 My name is Kavi, and I'm a construction enthusiast.

Fifteen minutes later, all the treasure hunters wisely laid down their weapons and fell into a deep, infant-like sleep.

It's easy to imagine that they were indeed exhausted. Look how peacefully they are sleeping; they're even too lazy to breathe.

Mu Feng clapped his hands in satisfaction. "To be a good person, you need to not only have a wild imagination, but also an open mind."

The revered Master Confucius, the leader of the 72 branches of the Confucian School, a man of virtue and talent, once said, "Since you're here, make the best of it."

Since we're here, let's bury him here.

At this moment, he should be surrounded by golden light of merit.

On the other side, "Laila" calmly comforted the attacked family, then patted her chest and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That child is still too inactive. Despite being the holder of the Eye of God, his physical condition is worrying. He has become so weak after just a little bit of exercise.

It seems I need to finish her assignments sooner so she can have some time to practice self-defense.

The fine sweat on her forehead dampened her headdress. She gently wiped it away, blinked her pale golden eyes, and turned her gaze to Mu Feng, who was still faithfully practicing the Confucian doctrines.

That boy was very strong; he fought against nearly twenty members of the treasure-hunting group all by himself and won with an almost overwhelming advantage.

Since she was at a disadvantage in direct combat, she originally planned to deliberately make a scene to attract the attention of passing caravans and disciplinary officials, thereby scaring away the group of treasure hunters.

However, it seems unnecessary now.

Perhaps because they had just been in battle, a faint smell of blood still lingered in the air. "Laira's" face was somewhat pale, and her beautiful brows furrowed slightly.

Oh no... the child seems to be waking up soon. Perhaps he just rested, because he woke up especially quickly this time.

Given her courage, seeing such a scene would likely leave her with indelible psychological trauma. It would be best to find a chance to escape while no one is paying attention.

Having made up her mind, "Laira" picked up the one-handed sword stuck in the ground and quietly walked into the woods.

Just go back to the tree where you were and rest. When the child wakes up, you shouldn't notice anything unusual.

However, the girl's plan to gracefully retire did not seem to go so smoothly. Just as she turned around, a fair little hand suddenly grabbed the hem of her clothes.

"Hey... Big sister who's been a good benefactor, where are you going? My mom and dad said they want to thank you properly, don't go!"

The rescued little girl blinked her big eyes, tilted her head, and looked at the girl whose expression was slightly strange with confusion.

My parents always say, "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast..." Wait, that doesn't seem right. It should be, "Do good deeds anonymously..." This older sister is probably like that too, right?

But that pretty lady just saved her! She's just as amazing as that guy! She really needs to thank her!

Hmm... she can bear to part with her snacks.

Cold sweat beaded on "Laila's" forehead; distracted, she was losing control of the child's consciousness.

It's not just a matter of letting the child see a bad scene now. Although the child is a bit slow, she's not stupid. If she realizes that I'm here, then we'll be in trouble.

But at this point, even the genius "Laira" seemed to have no better solution.

Suppressing it any further will affect the child's consciousness; we can only pray that they won't notice anything unusual.

"Laila" sighed, gently closed her eyes, and her blue hair fell slightly down her cheeks.

There was nothing else she could do. No wonder the astrological reading last night indicated that it was not a good day to travel.

The girl's sharp aura gradually softened, like a majestic cat suddenly abandoning its unapproachable posture and obediently revealing its soft belly.

Laila opened her eyes groggily, her small elf ears twitching. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, her pale golden pupils revealing a hint of bewilderment from just waking up.

Hmm... Where am I... What am I doing...?

Before her lay a forest, and fragmented memories gradually surfaced, causing a hint of panic to creep into the girl's eyes.

That's right! That's right... It's a group of treasure thieves! They're robbing people, I have to go help them... I can't...

What should I do...? I fell asleep again... Is it too late? My legs feel so sore...

No, no... Even so, I have to go ask for help nearby. I hope I can still make it in time...

"Pretty lady, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Just as she was lost in thought, a clear voice called out from beside her, interrupting the girl's chaotic thoughts.

That voice... sounds a little familiar, who is it?

Laila looked blankly toward the source of the sound, only to be met with a worried little face, which made her even more confused.

Ah...it's that little girl...what's she doing here...? Then...where did that group of treasure hunters go?

She looked around and saw that the treasure-hunting gang was no longer in the open space, only a few wounded people still being bandaged.

Her hand felt heavy; when had she drawn her one-handed sword again? She didn't seem to remember...

Why does this happen again...? I fall asleep at crucial moments, and then when I wake up I don't remember anything...

...Have your sleepwalking symptoms worsened again?

“Miss Leila, the matter with the heist group has been resolved, but Mr. Mendel seems to have something to discuss with us. Would you like to come and listen in?”

The unfamiliar boy greeted her with a smile, as if they were very familiar, but Laiira looked confused.

Who is he? He seems to know me... but I have absolutely no recollection of him... what should I do, Laila?

It would be so embarrassing if I mistook someone else for someone else or didn't remember... Ugh... Why does this happen?

The pressure is immense... I feel dizzy.

After hesitating for a long time, the girl finally spoke timidly. She shrank her neck and avoided looking Mu Feng in the eye.

"I...I'm sorry, hello sir, may I ask who you are...? I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry! I...I can't quite remember who you are..."

"Also... you can just call me Laila..."

Her tone was uncertain, and she lowered her head like a student afraid of being scolded, shrinking weakly into a ball.

By the end, the girl's voice was no louder than the buzzing of mosquitoes, and a blush crept up her ears.

Laiira, Laiira...you're so silly...remember quickly, who is he...?

Also, how did he know my name...?

Seeing this, Mu Feng's face showed just the right amount of surprise. He scratched the back of his head and asked in confusion:

"Uh...didn't Miss Laila say there was a treasure-hunting group attacking here and asked me to come and help? And Miss Laila just told me their name herself?"

Laila's expression became even more bewildered. Her pale golden eyes widened, and a few strands of her blue hair got into her mouth without her noticing, which only made her look a bit adorable.

Has she... already asked someone for help? And she even mentioned her name... When?

However, seeing the unwavering expression on the boy's face, which did not seem fake, the girl's doubts gradually dissipated.

Perhaps it was just a lucky coincidence while sleepwalking? My teacher once said, "What you think about during the day, you dream about at night..."

Just like how she often talks in her sleep about how she failed her exams, and then when she wakes up in the morning, everyone laughs at her.

The little girl standing to the side didn't have that much patience. Although she felt that this pretty older sister had suddenly become a bit strange, the little one didn't care about that.

All the girl knew was that the older sister in front of her had saved her and was very amazing, and the older brother had also saved her and was also amazing!

She excitedly grabbed the girl's arm and urged her repeatedly:

"Sister Laiila! Hurry, hurry! Father is waiting for us, and we haven't properly thanked you yet!"

The girl, still dazed and confused, was dragged away. Before leaving, she weakly approached Mu Feng, her hands nervously twisting together, and asked in a low voice:

"Um... sir, excuse me, could you please say your name again? I... I've almost forgotten..."

Mu Feng raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, then adopted a confident expression, nodded, and replied:

"Nice to meet you, Laila. Let me introduce myself. My name is Kavi, and I'm an architect."
