The Teleport Waypoint was magical; during the process, he could feel many indescribable things.
So much so that even after landing, his mind was still in a daze.
It wasn't until Lumine in his arms couldn't help but nudge him that he finally came back to his senses.
"Lumine, can you… let go of me now?"
He felt that if they continued to hug like this, something would go wrong sooner or later.
And Lumine already seemed a bit off; her head was buried deep in his chest, and he could feel her warm breath.
Lumine's body temperature was also noticeably rising little by little, even at the foot of this snowy mountain, where the temperature was low.
If he hadn't spoken up in time, Lumine might have lost her mind.
"Ah, I, I'm sorry." Lumine seemed to finally come to her senses, reluctantly pulling away from his chest.
"How is it, what do you feel?"
"Feel? Uh… Lumine is soft, fragrant, and seems very light; Lumine should eat more in the future." He stroked his chin, recalled for a moment, then said seriously.
Having hugged so many Damselettes, he was already very experienced.
If he were to rate Lumine, he could give her a score close to perfect.
"No, I wasn't talking about that! I meant your feelings about the Teleport Waypoint!" Lumine seemed not to have expected him to misunderstand to that extent, and quickly said with a red face.
"Ah, that, um…" He recalled the things that had just surged into his heart.
"The fact that he could be successfully brought over proves that he at least has the qualifications to use the Teleport Waypoint, right?" Paimon also interjected.
"Hmm, wait a moment, I'll try." He told the two, then walked back to the Teleport Waypoint behind him and closed his eyes.
Soon, the image of the Mondstadt city gate appeared in his mind, and a white light appeared around him.
"It really works!" He opened his eyes and immediately stopped his teleportation process.
"Does it really work?"
"Yes, no problem. I feel like the specific locations of all the Teleport Waypoints are in my mind. This will make things much more convenient." He nodded happily.
He wouldn't waste too much time going anywhere in the future.
However, although he could use Teleport Waypoints to teleport, he first had to physically go to the next Teleport Waypoint to unlock it; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to teleport.
But no matter what, it was much easier than running on his own two legs before.
"That's great." Lumine also nodded happily.
If he couldn't use the Teleport Waypoints, their future journey would be much more troublesome and waste a lot of time.
Although spending more time with him wasn't bad, they could develop a very deep relationship, and perhaps even… who knows.
But Lumine also didn't forget her goal; she still had to find her brother.
"Alright, let's go find that person named Albedo." He turned to look at the snowy mountain not far away.
This place was not where he had been before, nor did he see the small group of people from last time, so there was no way to ask for directions.
He also didn't know if he could successfully find Albedo. If not, he would just have to apologize to Sucrose.
"Yay, let's go, let's go." Paimon was probably the most excited; he was still fantasizing about what generous Reward Albedo could offer.
----------
The environment of the snowy mountain hadn't changed much since he last came; it was still biting cold.
Lumine and Paimon both ate some hot dishes, but he was already used to it and didn't need them.
His physique as a Pathstrider was enough to maintain a good body temperature even when not wearing many clothes.
"Hey, look, there seems to be someone ahead!" Paimon, flying higher, keenly noticed the figure standing ahead.
He also squinted and looked over; he was naturally very familiar with this figure.
"It's Rosaria!"
"Rosaria?" Lumine glanced at the person in the distance, then turned to look at him beside her, pursing her lips.
Why was there another unfamiliar woman, and he seemed to be very familiar with her?
"Hey~ Rosaria——" He waved to Rosaria in the distance, calling out Rosaria's name.
He seemed to have forgotten that shouting loudly in the snowy mountains could cause an avalanche, making Rosaria in the distance frown involuntarily.
After some hesitation, Rosaria still walked in front of the group.
"Why are you here?" Rosaria glanced at Lumine beside him and Paimon floating in the air, then fixed his gaze on him.
"We originally wanted to explore the snowy mountain, and then we also took on a commission… Oh right, this is Lumine, she's also an Honorary Knight, you should know her, right?" Seeing that Rosaria probably hadn't met Lumine yet, he immediately introduced her.
"Hmm, I've heard of her. She's already quite famous in Mondstadt, but…" Rosaria looked at Lumine beside him, not finishing his sentence.
"Hmph, let's talk about your commission."
"I feel like he's a dangerous person who's hard to get along with." Paimon leaned into Lumine's ear and whispered.
In a sense, his feeling wasn't wrong.
"Oh? Compared to me, a long-standing Westwind Church member, you, an unknown little floating object, are even more dangerous, aren't you?" Rosaria raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but say to Paimon.
"Huh!? He, he heard me…" Paimon awkwardly hid behind Lumine; he thought he had spoken quietly enough.
Unfortunately, none of the people present were ordinary individuals who ate vegetarian food, so no matter how quietly he spoke, it was useless.
"But what Paimon said is also true, isn't it? I've seen many nuns from the Westwind Church, but I've never seen one like you…" Lumine, perhaps speaking up for Paimon, or perhaps because of Rosaria's undisguised aggressive gaze towards him just now, uncharacteristically retorted.
"What, can't a nun have a sense of justice? I never turn a blind eye to obvious hidden dangers." Rosaria snorted lightly.
"I don't think we are hidden dangers, and besides, your aggressive demeanor doesn't seem like you're upholding any sense of justice." Lumine said with great dissatisfaction.
"The look in your eyes towards him is clearly ill-intentioned."
"I'm ill-intentioned? Your gaze hasn't left him this whole time, has it? Your eyes are practically dripping…" Rosaria sneered.
"You! You were following us?!" Lumine instinctively wanted to retort but suddenly realized.
"I just happened to see you."
"Wait, wait a moment, both of you, don't argue." This was the first time he had seen two people like this, and he quickly stepped forward to stand between them to mediate.
"Hmph…" Both of them snorted lightly and turned their heads away.
Seeing this, he could only sigh helplessly.
Is this what a Shura Field feels like?
Fortunately, neither of these two had the intimate relationship with him that Amber and the others did, otherwise, he probably wouldn't know what to do.
