Everyone grew suspicious. Was Kael planning to eat Lumine?
"It is hot."
Lumine quickly pulled her hands away from the Pyro Slime she had been touching.
Seeing this, Kael quickly tossed the Slime away.
"Are you okay?"
As he spoke, Kael immediately opened his palm.
An ice ball appeared. A gentle, cool breeze washed over Lumine's burned hands.
"I am fine..."
"I pulled my hands back the moment I felt the heat."
Lumine looked a bit embarrassed.
Since they set out, the two had not headed straight for Mondstadt City. Instead, under Kael's guidance, they had been trying to absorb Elemental Power.
Unfortunately, the method of touching Slimes that he suggested did not work at all.
Lumine had already been shocked by Electro and frozen by Cryo.
The Hydro and Anemo Slimes felt nice to touch, but she still could not draw any Elemental Power from them.
"I am sorry..."
Kael looked guilty. "I hurt you."
Seeing his troubled expression, Lumine quickly waved her hands. "No, it was my own curiosity. It has nothing to do with you."
"Besides, every time something goes wrong, you are the first to help me fix it. I have not actually been hurt at all."
Lumine opened her palms and smiled. "See? Even though I got burned just now, with your help, I am completely fine."
Kael took Lumine's hands and turned them over to inspect them carefully.
Only after confirming there were no injuries did he let out a sigh of relief. "Phew."
"It is best that you are not hurt."
"But where exactly is the problem?"
"I clearly gained my Elemental Power by making contact with these Slimes of different elements."
From the viewing angle of the light screen, Kael and Lumine had just been wandering around the area ever since they left Kael's small cabin.
Their casual stroll made it hard not to doubt whether they really intended to go to Mondstadt City at all.
However, since most of the viewers had already interacted with the Traveler, based on what they knew about her, Kael had become the main suspect this time.
Tartaglia: "Is there a chance this guy Kael is lying? He might be unusual, but I still do not believe you can get Elemental Power just by touching Slimes."
Zhongli: "Are you suggesting he is deliberately deceiving the Traveler to achieve some hidden agenda?"
Ningguang: "What could a Reincarnator's goal possibly be?"
Kujou Sara: "I do not know."
Yae Miko: "Lumine has lost her memories and is quite naive. The Reincarnator Kael might just take this perfect opportunity to coax and trick her, then 'eat' her up."
Paimon: "Eh!? Reincarnators eat people?"
Yae Miko: "Oh, I do not mean it in the way you are thinking."
Sangonomiya Kokomi: "No way. Kael does not seem like that kind of person."
Aether: "You cannot judge people just by their looks. Do you not all understand such a simple truth?"
Lisa: "Oh? You are..."
Aether: "I am the blood relative Lumine has been searching for."
Lumine: "Bro... brother?"
Why did this idiot speak up in the group chat on his own?
Lumine's mind went blank for a moment.
She had been worrying about hiding his identity, yet he just exposed himself without warning.
Furina: "My, my. As Lumine's brother, you just could not stand watching anymore, could you? Well, that is understandable. No one wants to see their family deceived. But I still feel Kael is not the kind of person you are making him out to be."
Aether: "Hmph! I saw right through his intentions from his little tricks. This despicable outsider is definitely trying to trick the innocent Lumine."
Nahida: "But why do I feel like Lumine and Kael are actually very happy together? I do not see any bad situations at all."
Aether: "That is just because he has not shown his true claws yet."
Xingqiu: "The Traveler's brother seems really full of anger."
Chongyun: "Yeah, it is like he wants to tear the Reincarnator apart."
Aether: "Lumine, listen to your brother. You absolutely must not trust that guy."
Lumine: "....."
Lumine: "Brother, that is from my past life. How am I supposed to control it?"
