Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 162 ^^

Upon hearing Ying's words, Paimon turned around in alarm.

"Wow? You used to do this kind of thing?! Are you hallucinating? Or are there really invisible friends playing with you?"

"Illusions are just imaginary friends."

Listening to Ying's explanation, Paimon fell into deep thought.

"Imaginary friend... Oh, so that's... an 'imaginary friend'? What does your 'imaginary friend' look like? Let me see!"

"They don't appear as often anymore..."

"Huh? Does the concept of 'imaginary friends' disappear as people grow up?"

"It's a pity, but that's really the case."

Ying gave an affirmative answer, and Paimon lowered his head regretfully.

"Hmm... I was actually hoping to see it... By the way, does your brother also have imaginary friends?"

Yes, there are.

"You have one? That's so convenient... Have you ever heard of a card game from Liyue? It's usually played by four people, but you two can play together."

Just then, a cute little green creature jogged over.

"Travelers! What a coincidence, you're here too."

Looking at this person whose face clearly screamed "slacking off," Paimon complained with annoyance, "Street performer, it's you again!"

Ignoring Paimon's way of addressing her, Wendy kept everyone in suspense.

"Haha~ It's because Lisa has been doing some interesting things lately."

Upon hearing the name Lisa, Paimon felt a shiver run down his spine, sensing a tingling, roasted meat aroma. A voice suddenly appeared in his ear, as if saying, "This is... punishment~".

Of course, it's definitely not because Lisa... my sister punished Paimon!

"What Lisa said is interesting, but it makes me feel scared..."

Seeing Paimon's evaluation of Lisa, Wendy didn't take it seriously and simply brushed it off casually.

"Hey, don't talk about a lady like that. She specially brought in a batch of dangerous materials from Sumeru to make this interesting thing."

Hearing this nonchalant tone, Paimon started complaining again.

You just said "dangerous," didn't you?

Wendy stuck out her tongue, playfully chuckled, and pretended to have amnesia before taking out that interesting thing.

Ying looked at the small device and asked, "Is this a glasses-type detector?"

"That's right. Although it looks like a monocle, it's a detector. Unfortunately, Lisa can't use it herself, so I borrowed it to play with and also to help her with some experiments."

As for what experiments Wendy did for Lisa... we dare not think about it, and we dare not ask!

If I knew what the experiment was about, I'd probably... haha, of course I'd get the right to share afternoon tea with Sister Lisa!

After hearing Wendy's explanation, Paimon tilted his head curiously and asked a question.

"Huh? Why can't I use Lisa?"

Wendy didn't answer Paimon's question directly, but instead gave a perfunctory answer.

"Well... should we say she lacks a bit of childlike freedom? Or is it for some other reason? You'll know if you ask her yourself next time."

High emotional intelligence: lack of empathy.

Low emotional intelligence: Too old... Ugh—I mean, this detector might be made of outdated materials, hehe...

Seeing that Wendy didn't want to answer the question, Paimon changed the subject.

"Well... Wendy, you can see it, right? Tell me quickly, what does this guy's imaginary friend look like!"

"Um, well... it's a secret ^_^"

That's Wendy for you. With a squint and a smile, she can gloss over any problem with a "hehe".

Seeing that Paimon was somewhat disappointed, Wendy handed over the detector.

"Anyway, I've given you the item. Now try it out. Take a look at Nora's 'Fantasy Friend'."

After saying that, Wendy looked at the little girl who was amusing herself with thin air.

Paimon looked over and immediately knew who Wendy was referring to as "Nora".

This Barbatos does nothing but remember the name of every citizen of Mondstadt. Is that really what makes him?

Hmm...that makes sense. After all, he's the wind god; it's reasonable that he can hear all the sounds within Mondstadt through the wind.

Therefore, Wendy learned many secrets.

Huiyuan knows this all too well; it's amazing how you can't help but hear it! Who wouldn't want ears like that, able to listen to gossip anytime, anywhere?

Ying put on the monocle detector and looked in Nora's direction.

I saw a translucent little girl dressed like Nora, but unlike ghosts or spirits, this little girl was more like a memory, glowing with light.

Paimon looked at Ying curiously and asked impatiently, "How is it? Can you see it?"

"He's a child she gets along with very well."

Seeing that Ying's answer was the same as what she saw, Wendy put on an expression that said, "Everything is as expected."

"Sure enough, you can see it after you put it on."

After Ying finished reading, she gave the detector to the curious little Paimon.

Paimon tried to put it on for a long time, but couldn't get it on at all.

Of course, it's not because my head is big, it's because my head is small.

Paimon stomped his foot angrily after realizing he couldn't put it on.

"Damn it, I want to see it too! But this detector is too big for me to wear!"

After trying a few more times, Paimon reluctantly returned the detector to Ying.

"Alright... Traveler, it's up to you now! Let's go see what other people's fantasy friends look like."

After saying that, Luminous, Paimon, and Venti began studying Fantasy Friends in Mondstadt.

On the other side, Courtney, holding the newly acquired violin, began to try playing it.

But because there were no books or tutorials, I spent a long time trying to figure out how to play it.

However, she did not give up. Instead, she wandered around Mondstadt, trying to find a bard to learn how to play.

"My brother said that Barbatos, the wind god, was also a bard... I wonder what kind of person he was? Hmm—that person is..."

Just then, Courtney saw a familiar blonde older sister, a cute white-haired younger sister, and a green-haired older sister...? Or a brother?

Upon seeing Yingmei, who had once been a guest at Chenge Pot, Courtney did not immediately approach her to speak, but instead secretly followed her.

(Do Ying-jie and the others...want to buy flowers?)

Ying put on the mysterious glasses and looked at Flora, the young owner of the flower shop.

Looking at the glowing object beside her, Wendy said, "Look, that's her imaginary friend. Hmm... a light, airy plant... it's a Pompom Fruit."

Seeing that people were coming, Flora waved and said, "Hoo hoo, travelers, poets, hello."
