Kokomi looked incredibly charming and cute even in her sleep.
Her breathing was so light, like a fish swimming in the ocean.
Seeing how exhausted Kokomi was, Xavier didn't have the heart to wake her.
Disturbing someone's sweet dreams was a very impolite act.
However, it wasn't long before Kokomi woke up on her own.
She stretched, let out a small yawn, and mumbled to herself, "I wonder how long I've rested this time. Hmm, my energy should be fully replenished, right...?"
As she spoke, Kokomi was about to write down the matter of 'sleeping for energy' in her notebook.
But as soon as she looked up, she saw Xavier sitting on a Shitou not far away.
"You, who are you? How did you get here?!"
Kokomi was startled; this was her secret base, and almost no one knew about it except for the Traveler.
"Ahem, I'm just here for tourism. I saw you were asleep, so I didn't disturb you."
Xavier immediately stood up and placed the book he was holding aside.
He had thought that since Kokomi was asleep, he would surely be bored, so he just grabbed a random book.
Although he didn't quite understand it, at least it could pass the time.
"This is too strange. How could a stranger appear here? You must have some ill intentions..."
Kokomi dared not relax her guard and kept staring at Xavier, convinced that he had some sort of plot.
Xavier felt wronged, but he couldn't explain himself at the moment.
"No, I'm really not a bad person. I'm just here for tourism. If you don't believe me, we can go ask Gorou and the others."
Of course, Kokomi wouldn't choose to believe Xavier based on his word alone and maintained a certain distance.
In fact, Kokomi felt a little scared by Xavier's somewhat strange appearance, and then took out her Catalyst, letting it float in her hand.
"Please leave, or don't blame me for being impolite."
The Hydro element power on Kokomi's body continuously condensed, ready to be unleashed at any moment.
Xavier hadn't expected Kokomi to be so afraid of him. He should have greeted her properly earlier.
"No, I really don't have any other intentions; please listen to my explanation."
Xavier thought for a long time and realized he had to make Kokomi understand that he had no ill will.
So, he had a flash of inspiration and smiled at Kokomi, saying, "Actually, I'm a visitor from another world. I know a lot about you, for example, you don't really like being a strategist, right?"
Upon hearing Xavier's words, Kokomi indeed stopped her movements. "How did you know that?"
This matter was very important, but she absolutely could not tell anyone on the island.
Especially when she was fighting against the Shogunate army before.
If others knew that she was just a Damselette who wanted to live a quiet life, they would surely not trust her.
As a strategist and leader, she had to possess a certain dignity and ability, preferably establishing an image of being omnipotent.
Only then would the people fully trust her and firmly believe that she could defeat the Shogunate army and protect their homeland.
Although a reconciliation had been reached now, she still had to fulfill her duties as the current Divine Priestess and manage the entire island.
So, she couldn't lay down her burden and had to maintain her previous persona.
Now, hearing such words from a stranger she had never met, Kokomi's shock was unimaginable.
"Of course, I know. And I also know that you like to eat Egg Sushi and dislike eating Grilled Fish, right?"
Kokomi's small mouth was wide open; the other party really seemed to know her well.
"Oh, and you also like to read alone quietly, preferably for a whole day, without being disturbed by anyone."
After Xavier finished this sentence, Kokomi completely put away her weapon.
Her mind was now filled only with shock and curiosity.
"You, you really know me well, but how do you know?"
Xavier walked up to Kokomi and said with a smile, "Because in another world, there's a game, and it has many descriptions about you, that's how I know."
"Are you really from another world? But why did you appear here?"
"Of course, it's because I really like Teyvat, and I'm also very interested in all of you..."
Thus, the two began to chat, from an initial hostility towards Xavier to Kokomi developing a deep interest in him.
"I never thought that the libraries on Blue Star would be so complete, with so many types of books, and so easy to borrow, right?"
"Of course! If you like them, there are even e-books! You can read all the books without leaving your home. Oh, and there are also comics!"
Hearing about comics, Kokomi became even more interested.
"It would be even better if I could go and see them," she said, her eyes filled with longing.
At this moment, Xavier extended his hand and said, "Simple!"
"Eh?"
"As long as you give me your hand, I can grant you the qualification to go to Blue Star. With just a thought, you can appear at my home!"
Kokomi chose to trust Xavier and placed her hand on his.
The moment their hands touched, she felt a special power surging into her body.
This feeling only lasted for an instant and quickly disappeared.
But Kokomi was certain that if she used this power, she could travel to another world!
"Almost forgot!" After Xavier granted Kokomi the qualification, he slapped his forehead, "Gorou is looking for you everywhere!"
Kokomi quickly walked out of the cave and looked outside, realizing that it was already getting late, feeling a bit guilty.
"Oh, I didn't expect to sleep for so long this time. Gorou must be worried sick."
Kokomi didn't linger and, taking Xavier with her, was about to return to Sangonomiya Shrine.
Who knew that Xavier gently waved his hand, directly pulling Kokomi, who was originally planning to walk, into mid-air.
"What? Xavier, you can actually fly? This will greatly increase our speed!"
Kokomi was both surprised and grateful.
If she could also fly, then everything she did would be much more convenient.
Upon returning to Sangonomiya Shrine, they happened to encounter Gorou, who was looking for Kokomi.
"Lady Kokomi, this is great! You're finally back!" Gorou breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sorry, Gorou, I just went out to handle some business and forgot to inform you," Kokomi said, feeling a little guilty.
Xavier next to her nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right. Kokomi went out to handle business, and I happened to pass by and brought her back. It was definitely not slacking off and resting, definitely not secretly sleeping in a cave."
Kokomi's face instantly turned red, thinking, 'Are you helping me speak, or are you saying the opposite to tell Gorou the truth?!'
"Lady Kokomi, after some time apart, your complexion seems much better."
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Wan Ye changed the subject.
