Is this the art of fishing?
This is just blowing up fish.
Klee: "Wow, that big brother is amazing. He is much better at blowing up fish than Klee."
Jean: "Sigh. Just like Yae Miko said, we should not treat the opening scene as the main plot."
Lisa: "Jean, have you not noticed? The mountains and rivers where he is fishing look a lot like our Mondstadt region."
Jean: "Lisa, you do not mean to say that in this reincarnation, Kael became a Mondstadter, do you?"
Venti: "Eh! No way."
Zhongli: "Judging by Kael's fishing method just now, he might be a decisive and swift person."
Kaeya: "That feeling, that aura... it feels like a grown-up Klee."
Jean: "I just do not know which point in Mondstadt's timeline his reincarnation falls into."
Alice: "Hey, hey, hey. Jean, do not get the wrong idea. We elves are different from you humans. Klee is mine alone."
Barbara: "May the Anemo Archon bless Mondstadt."
Klee: "Huh? Look quickly! The big brother caused trouble. He blew someone up!"
Kael looked around, still feeling proud of his catch.
But the scene that suddenly appeared before his eyes made his breath stop.
The beach, which was completely empty before, now had a motionless figure lying on it. No one knew when it appeared.
Short blonde hair. White boots. And a blue and white dress.
From any angle.
The person was clearly a young girl.
"Oh no."
"I did not blow someone up, did I?"
Kael's mouth twitched awkwardly. He instinctively looked around.
"Hopefully no one saw that."
Suffocating!
Judging by the images on the light screen.
The person lying on the beach was undoubtedly the Traveler, Lumine.
Her outfit was too recognizable.
But from Kael's first reaction, it seemed he did not recognize Lumine at all.
His act of looking left and right seemed like he was checking if anyone else noticed his harmful actions.
Awesome.
As expected of my new neighbor.
No, I should say, as expected of a Reincarnator.
He blew up the Traveler in his very first scene.
Inside Kael's home.
Furina was stunned.
The opening of the story completely exceeded her imagination.
A Reincarnator blowing up the Traveler.
What a thrilling plot. It was far more exciting than any play at the Opera Epiclese.
Lumine: "Ah! Is that me?"
Paimon: "That is too much! The Reincarnator actually blew up the Traveler."
Venti: "This..."
Jean: "Could it be that Kael's current reincarnation timeline matches the time when Lumine was in Mondstadt?"
Lisa: "But why have we not seen Paimon?"
Arataki Itto: "She probably got blown off to who knows where. Hahaha, after all, she is so tiny."
Paimon: "That is way too mean! I am getting angry."
Paimon: "But why were the Traveler and I in the water? It does not make sense. And we never met a Reincarnator when we were in Mondstadt."
Venti: "A Reincarnator, huh. I see..."
Tartaglia: "What do you mean?"
Venti: "Ehe, nothing. This system should be fine."
Paimon: "There you go again. Stupid bard. I hate people who speak in riddles the most."
Nahida: "A story of reincarnation? It is like a dream that keeps looping."
Zhongli: "Ahem. Generally speaking, just treat it as a story. Do not take it too seriously."
Kael quickly walked over to the girl.
He turned her body over.
He placed his fingers near her nostrils.
Feeling her breath, Kael finally let out a long sigh of relief.
The tension on his face relaxed. "Good. She is still breathing. Looks like she is not dead yet."
Lumine: "It really is me."
Lumine: "Wait, what does he mean by 'not dead yet'? I definitely will not die."
Hu Tao: "Traveler, do you need to book my services in advance? I feel like you and the Reincarnator are natural enemies."
Lumine: "....."
Seeing that Lumine was still breathing.
Kael wiped the mud and sand off her face.
Lumine's delicate and beautiful face made Kael pause for a moment.
He let out another long breath. "Good thing the explosion did not ruin her face."
As if thinking of something.
Kael quickly turned Lumine over, carefully checking her body.
"Phew!"
"Not a single burn mark on her. Looks like this has nothing to do with me."
"She probably just drowned."
Pfft!
On the streets of the Court of Fontaine.
Lumine almost coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"That damn Kael. What is he doing?"
"Is he really being this thorough just to check for blast injuries?"
"Damn it, damn it. If I find out where he is, I am going to kill him."
Paimon: "Traveler, calm down."
Lumine: "That jerk. Just because I drowned does not mean it is not his fault. Maybe his fishing explosion caused me to drown in the first place."
Jean: "I think the most important thing right now is saving her."
Lisa: "Jean, look quickly. The Reincarnator is saving the Traveler."
Lumine: "No, shut up! Stop it."
After Kael's efforts with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Lumine spat out some lake water, spraying it all over Kael's face.
But thankfully, hard work pays off.
Lumine let out a soft groan.
Her breathing finally stabilized.
"Phew!"
"I did not expect saving a drowning person to be so exhausting."
Kael wiped the water off his face.
He quietly looked at the unconscious Lumine.
Then he checked the time.
"I cannot just leave her out here like this."
"Even if she does not run into Hilichurls or Slimes, her current weakness and soaked clothes will likely cause a severe illness."
Kael stared at Lumine for a long time. After thinking it over, he finally made up his mind.
He roughly gathered the fish from the beach.
Kael threw Lumine over his shoulder and walked deep into the forest.
