[T/N: We've reached chapter 300 š„³š„³]
Lumine looked at the two of them with a strange expression.
"Kiana can teleport."
"..."
"..."
The blush that had only just faded climbed back onto Kiana's face. Her eyes wandered everywhere.
"Um... I forgot."
Mainly because that ability was only a trial card, not a permanent ability.
It was perfectly normal not to remember it.
Yeah, perfectly normal.
But judging from Lumine's expression, she clearly didn't believe her.
Kiana opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but Lumine cut her off.
"No need to explain!" Lumine raised a hand. "I understand."
After saying that, she gave the two of them an understanding look.
Crossing her arms, she turned around.
"You two carry on. I'll stand guard at the door."
When she reached the doorway, she even gave them a reassuring look.
Kiana and Levi looked at each other.
Levi, whose face was unbelievably thick-skinned, didn't react at all.
Kiana, whose skin was much thinner, instantly blushed bright red.
"Um..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lumine suddenly ran back in from outside, panic written all over her face.
"This is the men's restroom?!"
She had thought it was the women's restroom.
'Crap, crap, crap...'
'I'm done for!'
'So many people outside saw me come out of the men's restroom.'
'My life is over!'
She grabbed Kiana's hand, not caring that Kiana's pretty face had turned completely red, and hurriedly said, "Quick, quick! Use your teleportation and get me out of here!"
"Lumine."
Hearing Levi call her name, Lumine turned around and saw him staring at her with a sharp look.
"Do you want to be a coward for the rest of your life?"
"I'm a girl."
"Mm. A cowardly woman."
Lumine couldn't take it anymore. She let go of Kiana's hand, faced him, and asked, "Then what brilliant idea do you have?"
"..."
āāā
[Some Time Later]
The news that there was a woman in the men's restroom spread from person to person, attracting a crowd of curious onlookers.
Just as someone was about to go inside to investigate...
Levi led the group out.
Behind him were Kiana and Lumine, both wearing calm expressions.
Paimon, being the accessory, floated above their heads.
Noticing everyone's stares, Levi glared back fiercely.
"What are you looking at? Never seen a f*mboy before?"
"Guys, stop looking. They're not women. They're all cute boys packing something bigger than yours."
"Still looking? Still looking?!"
Seeing Kiana starting to crack first, Levi waved his hand.
"Where are the Cloud Knights?! Cloud Knights, where are you?!"
A wave of footsteps sounded.
The crowd parted down the middle, and a squad of Cloud Knights stepped forward and saluted.
"Greetings, Lord Levi!"
"Very good. You... Wait!"
Levi caught the important part.
"Lord?"
'Levi... Lord?'
His first reaction was that Jing Yuan had arranged some official position for him within the Cloud Knights.
His second reaction was that he was finished!
His reputation in this life had been completely ruined by that thief Jing Yuan.
Looking at the gazes directed at him from all around, the newly promoted high-ranking official Levi couldn't smile at all.
"Um... I'm a professional cosplayer..."
Unfortunately, not a single person present believed him.
"..."
After escaping, the three of them sat on a park bench.
Kiana and Lumine comforted the dejected Levi sitting between them with his head lowered.
"Look on the bright side. Now you can finally let go of your baggage and fully unleash your true nature."
"Thank you, Lumine. I feel much better."
"I'm Kiana."
"Oh, thank you, Taro."
"..."
Kiana had figured it out.
His depressed look was probably fake.
Could something this trivial really make him feel down?
After realizing that, Kiana slapped him on the back.
She put seventy percent of her strength into it to get revenge for him taking advantage of her earlier.
"Dinner! What are we eating!"
"E-Eat... me."
Seeing Levi still making dirty jokes even while wincing in pain, Kiana knew he had been pretending the whole time.
Looking up, Kiana suddenly froze.
"Lumine, what are you doing?"
Hearing that, Levi glanced over from the corner of his eye and saw her operating two jade abacuses.
He was about to look away when he suddenly realized something.
He looked at Lumine with the same expression as Kiana.
His mind raced.
"I only bought her one jade abacus for us to keep in touch. Why is she using two?"
Levi leaned over.
Lumine immediately turned sideways and lay down on the bench, refusing to let him see the screen.
The moment he saw that, Levi realized something was wrong and reached into his pocket.
Sure enough.
The jade abacus inside was gone.
"You thief!"
Levi lunged at her, but Lumine stopped him with one foot.
"Don't make trouble. I'm transferring money."
There are so many zeroes. What's wrong with transferring a little to myself?
Seeing this, Kiana said to Lumine, "Transfer some to me too!"
"Roger!"
"Don't! I'm not the only one using that account!"
Ding!
[Asta: @Levi, did you buy something? Why am I getting an overdraft notification?]
[Levi: !!!]
[Levi: @Kiana @Lumine, could you at least act like human beings?!]
'When you said "a little," did you mean overdrawing the whole account?'
[Asta: ...]
'Alright.'
She now knew why there had been an overdraft notification.
"Holy crap!" Seeing Asta's message, Kiana's eyes widened.
"You're living off a rich woman!"
"My stomach isn't very good. The doctor recommended I live off a rich woman. Got a problem with that?"
'No problem at all!'
After realizing those credit points actually belonged to Asta and not Levi, Lumine quietly transferred the money back.
Though she kept a tiny bit for spending while she was here.
"What about mine? What about mine?"
"Transfer it yourself."
"Hmph!"
After getting his jade abacus back, Levi snorted.
"From now on, all of Kiana's expenses are on me!"
That made Kiana happy.
Lumine wasn't jealous either, since she had also kept "a tiny bit."
Levi checked his jade abacus to see whether Lumine had done anything else.
At the same time, he asked, "My jade abacus has a password. How did you unlock it?"
Other than Qingque, no one knew it.
Even Qingque had guessed it herself rather than being told by Levi.
So he was extremely curious how Lumine had managed to unlock it.
"Guess why I kept touching your hand just now."
Levi fell silent.
'Great.'
He had thought she was holding his hand to comfort him.
Instead, she had been secretly stealing his fingerprint to unlock his jade abacus.
'I misjudged you, Lumine!'
After checking the jade abacus, he looked toward Paimon, who was off in the distance playing with a mechanical bird.
"What made you two come here?"
"Because we're being wanted."
Lumine answered as though it were only natural.
The whole of Liyue was looking for her.
There wasn't enough time to go to another nation, so they could only hide out with Levi for a while.
Then they would slip away while everyone else was busy causing trouble.
"Being wanted?"
"Yeah. Is there a problem?"
Looking at Lumine's matter-of-fact expression, Levi's expression became even stranger.
"You two are being wanted?"
He turned to Kiana.
Kiana nodded.
Levi lowered his head and stared at the ground.
His elbows rested on his knees, his hands clasped beneath his chin.
He silently stared at the ground, lost in thought.
Neither of them could tell anything was wrong.
After a long while, Levi slowly spoke, "I remember asking Ningguang to lift the warrant against Lumine and to have you both released..."
"What?!"
Lumine cried out in shock.
She turned to look at Kiana.
The two of them looked at each other.
Then they both froze.
"..."
