Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Chapter 147 An unexpected encounter

Even at night, the Grand Bazaar remains bustling with activity. The stalls of the evening market wind along the streets and extend the sacred trees, bringing a touch of human warmth to the cool night.

Goodbye, teacher.

See you tomorrow, little Nilu.

Having just finished her dance, Nilu waved goodbye to her teacher and walked out of the Zuber Theater, humming a lighthearted tune to the accompaniment. Her sheer dress fluttered in the moonlight as she danced.

What should I do tonight?

With her gaze fixed on the brightly lit Grand Bazaar, Nilu, slightly lost in thought, propped her chin up and wandered aimlessly into the bustling street.

It doesn't seem too late yet. Shall we go to Mr. Judt's stall for a late-night snack?

Nilu quietly rubbed her smooth belly, hesitated and secretly glanced at the steaming stall not far away, then pouted in distress.

Although I'm a little hungry after dancing, will eating like this affect my figure?

The angel and the devil have begun a new round of evenly matched battles.

But clearly, making a satisfying choice between the savory aroma of the rice tower and the potential crisis of gaining weight is not an easy task.

So, after the battle between heaven and man came to nothing, the girl habitually turned her gaze toward the direction of the Order Institute.

If Brother Mufeng were here, he probably would have already pulled her to sit in front of the stall, right?

After all, this naughty guy has always liked to feed her all sorts of snacks since she was little, as if he's afraid she won't get fat.

Then, as always, she would tease him about her unpleasant childhood memories of eating rice balls.

Nilu puffed out her cheeks, as if she could already hear Nilu's familiar opening line from when she was a child.

I don’t know who I learned this from.

It's been a full ten hours since they last met. Well... let's just say it's a late-night snack for Brother Mufeng.

The clever girl found a solution that would satisfy both sides.

It's not that I want to see someone before going to bed.

"Hi, Nilu!"

A clear voice calling from behind pulled Nilu back to reality. She turned her head, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on her small face.

"Oh, good evening, Dina Zede!"

In the distance, the girl, who had just recovered from a serious illness, parted the crowd and excitedly rushed to Nilu, giving her a hug and teasing her companion with a knowing smile.

"Hehe, Nilu is waiting for Brother Mufeng, right?"

"Huh?...No way."

Nilu's face flushed instantly after her secret was exposed. She turned her head away in a slightly flustered manner, trying to hide the embarrassed expression on her face.

"I see, Nel has been standing here looking in the direction of the Order of the Church for a long time."

Dina Zede's eyes crinkled into a smile, a rare mischievous glint in her delicate features. She pressed her advantage as she softly pressed her friend, who was trying to evade the issue.

It's rare to see Nel show such an expression.

As for why it was discovered...

She won't say that she's actually waiting herself.

"Dina Zede!"

The shy young dancer blushed.

This little boat of friendship capsizes so easily.

……

Half an hour later, Dina Zede, full of enthusiasm, dragged Nilu to almost every snack stall in the Grand Bazaar, until the bodyguards behind them could no longer carry them all, and they finally stopped with a little regret.

"Dina Zede, can you really finish eating all this...?"

As Nilu accompanied Dina Zede to sample various snacks along the way, she rubbed her slightly bulging belly, sadly thinking that tomorrow's breakfast would probably be ruined.

The late-night snacks and treats bestowed by heaven already have a hidden price tag on them, indicating the price of a proper meal.

"Hehe... I guess so?"

Dina Zede spoke hesitantly and weakly, then guiltily looked away, pretending not to see the bodyguard team behind her carrying large boxes of snacks and looking resentful.

In the past, when her Demon Scale Disease flared up, she could only look on longingly at the dazzling array of snacks and desserts. Now, she's just indulging herself a little bit.

Yeah, just a little bit.

As the two girls chatted and laughed, Dina Zede's gaze suddenly stopped, and she precisely locked onto a slightly familiar figure from the throng of people.

Is that... Brother Mu Feng?

Dina Zede raised her eyes in confusion, but the figure was quickly dispersed by the dense crowd, and she could only vaguely glimpse a blurry outline through the throng of people.

Although their backs and gaits were very similar, there seemed to be subtle differences in their clothing and posture, which made the little girl hesitate for a moment.

So she gently tugged at the hem of Nilu's clothes beside her, seeking confirmation uncertainly.

"Hey... Nilu, look over there, isn't that Brother Mufeng?"

Nilu tilted her head and looked in the direction Dina Zede indicated at the familiar figure, a hint of doubt flashing in her beautiful blue eyes.

Logically speaking, Brother Mufeng should be on duty at the Imperial Academy tonight, and shouldn't be at the Grand Bazaar.

And who is that girl next to him?

The young dancer noticed something was amiss.

Nel had met little Dolly. The kind girl sympathized with the sisters' plight and even frequently visited little Dolly, who was bedridden. However…

That girl didn't seem to resemble Dolly either.

"Shall we go take a look?"

Dina Zede also puffed out her cheeks angrily. Although it had not yet been confirmed, she seemed to have a vague idea of ​​the other party's identity.

What a greedy and wicked fellow.

They were the ones who arrived first.

"Walk."

……

Meanwhile, Mu Feng, who was aimlessly strolling with Naxi Da, was completely unaware of the approaching danger.

"Nashida, are these seemingly ordinary toys really that interesting?"

Mu Feng sat on a chair next to a small stall, curiously observing the God of Wisdom who was fiddling with a new toy.

"Hmm... deducing the principle behind a task from its outcome is also a good way to understand 'wisdom.'"

Nasita's side ponytail spread out into a shawl of white hair, which was then neatly tied into two round buns. Two beautiful golden bells jingled crisply with her movements.

The little god tilted his head, gave a gentle smile, and explained earnestly.

As for your question about why I'm dressed like this?

As everyone knows, there are only two lolis in the Grass type, and when it comes to disguise, it can only be...?

Ahem, I’m getting off topic.

Mu Feng is a respectable person.

"Amu is thinking of some naughty ideas."

"Like a wicked crowned crocodile in the water."

Nasita's four-leaf pupils curved, and a sly smile suddenly appeared on her cute little face.

It's not an easy task to deceive the eyes of the god of wisdom.

Meeting Nasita's sparkling eyes, the guilty man eventually slipped away to a nearby stall to buy dessert.

But is Mount Sumeru as cold as mustard?

Mu Feng shivered and wondered.

……
