Chapter 173 Daily Life at Sea
Chapter 173 Daily Life at Sea
The quiet time is comfortable and beautiful.
Although Eugolia still wanted to return to Fontaine, she agreed to stay in Inazuma for a few more days after being persuaded by Ginez.
On this day, Ying and Paimon also temporarily ended their journey. They came to the vicinity of the hotel and saw Xines and Egolia having breakfast.
Paimon sat at the table very naturally and asked the store to bring two more sets of tableware. Paimon's behavior made Egolia laugh twice, and she asked Ying to sit down and eat together.
Unfortunately, Paimeng still didn't eat enough, so Ying pulled Paimeng to her side.
Strictly control her food intake.
After breakfast, Ying also expressed her intention to leave.
"When do we leave?"
Eugolia could not suppress her worry about Fontaine. Although she trusted Fucaros and Hines very much, she still wanted to see her former country with her own eyes.
"We contacted Beidou when we were on Haiqi Island. Her Death Star is expected to depart for Liyue at noon today."
The sun gradually climbed to the center of the sky, and the four people also came onto Beidou's boat.
Beidou was visibly taken aback when he saw Egolia beside Xines.
"Who is this girl?"
"She is my love."
In response to what Sines said, Egolia said "hmm" softly and stretched out her hand towards Beidou.
"Hello, my name is Egolia."
"Hello, my name is Beidou, I'm the captain of this ship, and the one sitting over there is Fengyuan Manye."
Although Beidou felt that it was not unacceptable for Hines to have another girlfriend in Inazuma, but, wasn't it a little too fast?
Besides, the name Egolia doesn't sound like a wife, does it?
So Beidou found Ying alone to ask about Egolia, but Ying just said that she was from Fontaine and did not mention a word about how Chines hooked up with such a beautiful woman.
Beidou, who failed to eat the melon, curled his lips, opened the wine jug and started drinking alone.
Life on the ship was always boring, and the daily meals were mostly seafood. In the first few days, Paimon was very enthusiastic about eating seafood, but later...
"No way, why is it fish again? Can't we eat something else?"
Paimon lay on the table, holding a chopstick in each hand, looking at the fish in the pot with a bitter expression.
Ying rolled her eyes and picked up some vegetables to cook with the fish for Paimon.
"It's nice to have hot food at sea."
Beidou looked at Paimon and laughed twice.
"Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the sea, eat by the sea. If you were to go ashore, you wouldn't know how much it would cost to eat these fish."
The rest of Manye, Hines, and Egolia are not picky about food, not to mention that the chef on the ship is really good!
Looking at Paimon who was still listless, Beidou took a sip of wine and comforted him.
"Don't worry, little Paimeng. We'll be in Liyue in two days. It'll be the Moon Chaser Festival then, so there'll be lots of delicious food!"
Poor Paimon was played around by Beidou. When it came to festivals and food, Paimon's eyes were no longer dull, and even flashed with a strange light.
Seeing Paimon's expression, Ying calmly shook her wallet. She felt uneasy about the weight, so she downgraded her spending again.
Regarding traditional festivals like the Moon-Chasing Festival, both Xines and Egolia naturally knew something about it. Xines looked at Egolia and said with a smile,
"How about celebrating a festival in Liyue?"
After careful consideration, Egolia decided to agree. It shouldn't take too much time to celebrate a festival.
As for Fontaine, Eugolia chose to believe in Fucaros's ability!
"I remember that this festival in Liyue seems to be to commemorate the Kitchen God?"
Egolia was recalling information related to the Moon-Chasing Festival, but no one present could continue the topic, not even Beidou, a native of Liyue.
Seeing that things were a little awkward, Beidou quickly tried to smooth things over.
"You know so much. Our understanding of the Moon Festival now is nothing more than visiting relatives and friends, eating, drinking and having fun. As for the Kitchen God you mentioned, I really don't understand him. I'll drink a glass of wine as punishment!"
Looking at the bold and unrestrained Beidou, Egolia suddenly thought of a drunkard...
Hines raised the juice in his hand,
"Captain Beidou, don't mind me. Egolia is well-versed in ancient books and texts. She doesn't mean to show off her knowledge. I'll drink a glass of wine for her."
The so-called study of ancient books cannot be said to be completely false. After all, the books that Egolia read were at least five hundred years old.
However, of course, all the information about the Kitchen God came from the Emperor. When the Seven Gods gathered together to chat, they would always touch upon topics such as traditions of various countries, and the Moon-Chasing Festival happened to be one of the topics.
......
"As expected of Egolia, the First Water God knows so much."
"I don't care how much she knows. I just want to know: the first Water God has been resurrected. What should the current Water God do? Should he abdicate?"
"The new emperor has ascended the throne. How could we allow the retired emperor to seize power?"
"Well, I just feel that with Egolia's personality, she would never do anything like seizing power."
"That's right, she's so gentle! Every time she looks at us, she has a maternal glow."
......
The two days of calm passed in a flash. Early that morning, Sines and Egolia stood on the deck and admired the sun rising from the horizon.
Click, the sound of the shutter being pressed was heard.
The half-hidden sun was captured in the photograph. Sines handed the photo to Egolia as if to take credit for it.
"Well, my technique is pretty good, isn't it?"
Egolia felt the sea breeze and looked at Xines beside her. This peaceful and beautiful day was really intoxicating.
"Yeah, please take a few more photos for me when we get to Liyue. We'll all be in the photos this time."
Hines took Egolia's hand and squeezed it gently. To be honest, there were only a few photos of the two of them together.
Ever since Egolia escaped from prison and took charge of Fontaine, she has been required to make decisions on daily official duties and all matters big and small in Fontaine, and her rare vacation is always interrupted by various emergencies.
It was not until the construction of Mellow Petersburg that the Fontaine system was initially improved and put on the right track. Unfortunately, everything was too coincidental, and the coming of the abyss shattered all the beauty.
"I'll take more photos. Yeah, the Emperor has to come too. Speaking of which, he's now using the alias Zhongli, calling himself a mortal and forbidding himself from creating Mora at will."
Egolia was stunned for a moment, unable to understand why Hines emphasized that Morax did not create Mora.
As a dignified emperor, it is impossible for him to be short of money even if he does not use his power, right?
Maybe...
Looking at Egolia who was lost in thought, Hines sighed, wondering if she could accept the Emperor's current state.
Probably... As long as the Emperor doesn't say: "Do you have any money?"
