"You two want to come too? That's great!"
Hearing that the two also wanted to visit Fontaine, Furina and Focalors were delighted, immediately expressing their enthusiastic welcome.
Momoshiki didn't care; it was just two more people to bring along. Besides, he was quite curious to see Stelle and Lumine meet.
He really wondered if they'd feel a shared destiny.
After getting permission, March 7th happily dragged Stelle back to the train to explain the situation to Himeko, also getting Himeko's approval.
Everything went exceptionally smoothly.
While the two went to the train, Focalors and Furina curiously took selfies with their phones, and then a few group photos.
Momoshiki in the Kamui Dimension was still lying in the pile of books, but this time he was playing offline single-player games on his phone.
After all, there was no internet in the Kamui Dimension, so he couldn't connect to the outside world at all.
"Furina."
Momoshiki, who was playing a game, suddenly spoke, interrupting Furina who was busy researching beauty filters.
"What's wrong?"
Furina asked while adjusting the beauty filter.
In terms of looks, Furina was definitely top-tier, her facial features and skin tone perfectly matched, not to mention her sapphire-like eyes.
Therefore, no matter how she adjusted the beauty filter, it always felt a bit asymmetrical, which puzzled both Furina and Focalors.
Wasn't this thing called a beauty filter? Why did it feel so strange after using it?
"Ask someone in the space station if they have anything like solar circuit boards. Teyvat can't charge phones, so we need to prepare these things."
"Oh, okay."
Although she didn't understand what these things were, Furina obediently put away her phone and went into the space station to ask around.
Her luck was pretty good. There were quite a few spare solar charging devices. She bought them for a few thousand Credits, and also bought many data cables and other things.
Momoshiki sat in the pile of books, examining the purchased equipment.
Just as he thought, putting this thing under the small thermal energy source at the top of the Kamui Dimension would generate electricity.
After fiddling with it for a while, it was successfully installed. He plugged in the data cable, and the phone showed it was charging.
Thus, the Kamui Dimension successfully entered the age of electricity.
It had to be said, it was indeed high-tech. The quality of this thing felt amazing just by touching it.
If nothing unexpected happened, as long as Aha didn't come and pull the plug, this single solar panel should last for decades.
While he was researching, March 7th and Stelle happily ran over.
"Himeko agreed! Let's go quickly! I can't wait to see other universes!" March 7th said excitedly.
"Alright."
Momoshiki put away his phone, possessed Furina, and opened a portal using the system space.
Stelle, beside him, saw the entire process of Momoshiki possessing her, and her mouth widened in fascination, almost able to fit an egg.
Those patterns appearing were just too cool!!
Momoshiki felt the gaze from behind him was a bit piercing. He turned to glance at Stelle, frowned, and said, "I know what you're thinking. Just like before, stop your thoughts."
"Oh..."
Stelle looked wronged.
Damn it! How did he know I wanted to wait for his next possession to lie on Furina and let the lines rub against my body?!
I just had that thought!
Is this the power of the Otsutsuki?!!
Ignoring what Stelle was imagining in her head, Momoshiki was the first to walk into the portal, the others following closely behind.
Once everyone had entered, the portal slowly collapsed and closed.
Just as it was about to disappear, an orange-red light flashed past like a meteor. Because it was too fast, it seemed like an illusion.
After returning to the Palais Mermonia's back garden, Momoshiki paused, opened his Byakugan, and observed his surroundings. He didn't feel anything.
Strange? Was Aha giving him PTSD? Why did he feel her projection was nearby?
Behind him, March 7th and Stelle emerged one after another. A wave of natural, fresh fragrance filled their nostrils, instantly almost intoxicating the two.
They had been on the train and Herta Space Station for so long, how long had it been since they smelled the scent of natural flowers?
March 7th felt like she was forgetting.
Stelle bounced in place twice. She didn't know why she was doing it, but she just felt uncomfortable if she didn't jump.
"What are you doing?" March 7th looked at Stelle, who was bouncing occasionally, in confusion.
"This empress has knees now."
"What empress?"
"This is the back garden of the Palais Mermonia, where I often rest and take walks."
Furina happily pulled the two's hands, introducing everything around them, while Focalors followed silently like a gentle older sister, a faint smile on her lips.
Before long, Furina introduced the basic common knowledge of Fontaine and all of Teyvat.
During this time, Momoshiki was very quiet, not saying a word, which also made Furina a little confused.
"Call me for food."
Sensing Furina's thoughts, tsundere Momoshiki automatically left a message.
At this moment, Momoshiki was getting a bit heated from a single-player mini-game on his phone, like he was getting swept 3-0 in an arena.
How ridiculous was this game called "Herta's Tower"?
The first level was so easy, but the second level was a world of difference? There wasn't enough time to clear these cards!
After losing more than 10 times in a row, a window automatically popped up, with Herta's avatar.
"Hehe I knew you couldn't beat this genius in this aspect. There's no chance now"
"Damn it!"
Face-to-face taunting was even more infuriating than a head pat!
Momoshiki's veins bulged around his eyes, a sign of activating his Byakugan.
He reached out to find the exit button, but just as he tapped it, Herta's avatar popped up to block it.
"Let me guess, are you trying to quit now? Don't be so anxious~ You still have a chance, you just need to give me some more samples for experiments, any kind of sample will do..."
Before Herta's avatar could finish, Momoshiki directly force-closed the game by swiping it out of the background.
...
"Lady Furina, who are these...?"
A cute Melusine rested her hand on her chin, curiously looking at Stelle, Focalors, and March 7th.
Strange, why did one person look exactly like Lady Hydro Archon? Was Lady Hydro Archon actually a twin?
"Wow——!!"
Unlike the Melusine's confusion, March 7th, who loved cute things, looked at her with shining eyes.
What a cute little sprite!
Barely thigh-high, with a pink and tender appearance, big watery eyes, two flexibly twitching things on her head, whether ears or antennae, wearing a uniform that formed a clear contrast, making her look like someone you'd want to playfully bully.
She couldn't help but reach out to pet her, but fortunately, Furina stopped her in time, preventing her from violating Fontaine's laws.
"Cough cough, Aveline, these are my guests," Furina said, putting on the Hydro Archon's demeanor.
"Oh, they are Lady Furina's guests! My apologies, my apologies!"
As soon as she heard they were guests, the Melusine named Aveline immediately bowed politely, which made March 7th a little flustered.
"Uh... haha~ No need for that."
March 7th waved her hand awkwardly but politely.
"What a cute little one, can I pet you?"
Stelle leaned down slightly, her tone gentle and innocent, successfully violating Fontaine's law against disrespecting Melusines.
"Uh..."
Furina still couldn't stop her, only helplessly rubbing her forehead and shaking her head. Focalors, on the other hand, chuckled secretly, not worried at all.
"Huh? So sudden?"
Aveline clearly didn't expect it, but seemed to be infected by Stelle's wise appearance, blinking her starry eyes, and nodded as if possessed.
"Okay, since it's your request, guest, then go ahead and pet me."
Saying this, Aveline said earnestly, "But don't do this next time. Judging by your clothes, you're not from Fontaine, are you?"
"In Fontaine, we Melusines have the same status as humans, so please don't treat us as pets. This is very rude behavior, and the law doesn't allow it... Huh?!"
Before she could finish, Stelle directly reached out and petted her.
The touch was very similar to normal skin, but softer, smoother, and incredibly springy, very comfortable to touch.
Aveline was initially a little unaccustomed, but then quickly immersed herself in the comfort of being petted on the head.
She never expected being petted to feel so comfortable, like rolling in soft cotton. It was a novel experience she had never enjoyed before!
"Can I pet her too?!"
Looking at Stelle's appearance, March 7th next to her was extremely envious, the words "want to pet" almost written on her face.
"Hmm, just this once~"
"Yay!!"
"Hurry up, it'll be troublesome if someone sees us."
