Chapter 44 Visiting the Great Snowman Builders

Ying: "Even though I guessed right… I still want to ask why you drew something that Venti likes?"

Kaeya: "Why… why don't you guess? Here's a hint: mutual consideration~"

"Mutual consideration? Hmm… are you two building things you like for each other with snow?"

"Bingo~ I didn't expect you to be so clever,"

"Uh… are you sure it wasn't because your hint was too obvious… But if it weren't for that wine glass, I really wouldn't have guessed Kaeya likes cats."

"Cough cough~ That's just what he thinks I like most, it doesn't mean it's true."

Venti: "That's right, I was just guessing casually, thinking you'd come over soon, so I piled up a cat~"

"Is that so… Alright then~" (Hearing Venti's tone, I always feel like he's not just hinting that I should bring him wine from the Cat's Tail tavern… Could it be that Kaeya's favorite thing really is cats? Never mind, I'll stop thinking about it, it's giving me a headache (ー△ー))

"Traveler, you should go play too. If you don't go soon, a wonderful day will be over~"

"Oh right, right, right. By the way, what should I build… I can't think of anything… Never mind, I'll go see other people's creations first~"

Ying then walked towards Klee…

"Ah! Sister Ying, you're finally here!"

"Mhm, I didn't expect Klee to be almost done."

"Hehe~ It's because Acting Grand Master Jean and Sister Barbara are helping me!"

"Wow~ it's sooooo big, they must have worked hard,"

Jean: "As long as Klee likes it, and it wasn't that difficult to build."

Barbara: "No trouble at all, it's quite fun (^_^)"

"Hahaha, as long as you're happy~" (A giant Bomble Bomb… that would be really exciting if it were real…)

"Next is… Huh? Master Diluc, why aren't you playing?" (Okay, it would be strange if he were playing…)

Seeing Diluc just watching everyone from the side, Ying walked over and asked.

"I'm not very interested in these things, and… my elemental power is too strong, the snow won't stay in my hands for long."

"Hahaha… so that's why~ Then, Master Diluc, is there anything you'd like to build? I can help if you do~"

"...No need, I'll just appreciate your creations. You should also hurry, as it's getting late."

"Oh, oh, I'll be going then, Master Diluc~"

"Mm."

"It's getting late… I hope they have a good time today," Ying continued to the next location, muttering to herself.

"Host, aren't you playing anymore?"

(Me? Hmm… I originally wanted to build a snowman, but for some reason, I suddenly felt out of energy to build it~ Maybe it's because I've had too many adventures today, but I'm happy to see them having fun.)

"Is this the legendary selflessness?"

(Uh… I don't think so…)

"Is that so… Alright then~"

(By the way, when are you going to show yourself? I'd really like to see what you look like.)

"This system has appeared before, it's just that the author didn't write it~"

(Really? When did you appear?)

"Of course, it was when the host was being bullied. For example, when someone almost took advantage of you, I came out to observe from up close~"

(You…)

"Oh, and before when you were with Lumine…"

(Stop! You can shut your mouth now!)

"Hehe~"

(Sigh… you better materialize soon.)

"Oh? Host, you want to see what this system looks like now~"

(Yes, I want to stew you.)

"Ah, this… then it's better if this system doesn't come out. But even if I did, as long as I wanted to, you wouldn't be able to touch me~ Hmm? If that's the case, the host should thank me. Otherwise, if I came out and showed off in front of the host, the host would be even more annoyed~"

(This… it actually makes some sense…)

"See~"

(Right… Your head! Damn it… This is the first time I've met a system that enjoys arguing with its host and then makes the host thank it… Don't you have any shame?!)

"No, arguing with the host is so much fun."

"Emm… you win…"

Ying was once again defeated by her own system…

Noelle: "Ah, Ying, you're here."

"Mhm, Noelle, you built a snowman with Bennett?" (Sigh… I desperately need comfort from my friends right now  ̄﹏ ̄)

Bennett: "Hehe~ Yes, because if I held the snow for too long, it would melt, so I had to ask Noelle for help, and I assisted from the side~"

"Hahaha, so Bennett has the same trouble as Master Diluc~ By the way, what are you two planning to build?"

"Hmm… we haven't really decided yet, because we don't like the same things. So we decided to build some things that we see or use often~"

"Things we use often… No wonder there are so many small props… Then you two keep up the good work~" (This pile of cleaning supplies clearly belongs to Noelle… It makes me feel a bit sad…)

After chatting with the two for a while, Ying turned and walked towards Lumine…

"Lumine~ What are you two building?"

Lumine: "Paimon wants to build a Slime, and I'm helping her~" (Should I directly ask Ying about what happened in the snowy mountain? Hmm… Never mind, I'll observe a bit longer…)

"Slime? Uh… is that why there's a small Ice Slime next to you…"

Paimon: "Hehe~ Having a reference makes it easier to build! And after we're done, we can let little Diona help turn it into something delicious~"

"Ha… ha… then you two keep up the good work…" (To fall into Paimon's hands like this, this Ice Slime is truly pitiful… By the way, where did Diona go? I'll go look for her…)
