Traveling through the world of Paper Wedding Dress

Chapter 197 Linny, Linnet

Paimon came forward with Xun Yuanfeng, who was wearing a jumpsuit and had two cute cat ears on his head. His gray hair was tied into a ponytail and his gradient tail swayed from side to side. He should be from a similar family as Diona.

Paimon looked at the girl in front of him, facing the sea. He didn't know if he was feeling melancholy or something, but he said cautiously: "...Um, I'm sorry, are you okay?"

The cat-eared girl turned her head in confusion when she heard someone ask her. "...Hmm?"

Xun Yuanfeng saw her face clearly. There was a five-pointed star painted on her delicate face. Was this Fontaine’s popular makeup?

The girl turned her head back, "Thank you, I'm fine."

Paimon nodded in relief and said, "Well, that's good. You seem to be... well, worried about something."

The girl replied: "Many things... can only be kept in my heart, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm just missing the place where my brother and I used to play when we were little, on that little mound, you see." Then she pointed to the sea.

Paimon looked hard at the spot she pointed to, but couldn't see any small mound there, so he said, "Uh, but the spot you pointed to is the sea. Wait, do you mean you and your brother lived in the sea when you were young?"

Xun Yuanfeng also guessed: "Are you a strange race unique to Fontaine? A sea cat or something?"

The girl stared at the sea and said, "Although people call the water in Fontaine the sea...it is actually just an inland lake filled with fresh water.

Although the small mound is so clear in my memory, it now lies so naturally on the seabed. "The girl fell into memory, "He jumped there, raising a lot of sand, and the air was filled with the smell of sunshine and sea breeze. The sea is swallowing up our memories bit by bit... and then ourselves."

Listening to the girl's incomprehensible words, Paimon shook his head, "... Well, I don't really understand."

At this time, footsteps were heard not far away. Xun Yuanfeng and Paimeng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man wearing a magic hat, a black waistcoat and black stockings, with the Eye of the Fire Elemental God shining at his waist.

The young man smiled at Xun Yuanfeng and Paimeng and said, "I haven't seen this face before. Is it Linnet's new friend?"

Paimon asked doubtfully: "Hey, you are..."

The boy said, "Thank you for taking care of my sister. She often misses our childhood days here. Don't worry about her. Oh, let me introduce myself. I am Linny and she is my sister Linnet. It seems that you are travelers from outside?"

Paimon flew in front of Xun Yuanfeng and introduced to Linilinette: "Hello, I'm Paimon, this is the traveler Xun Yuanfeng, we both just arrived in Fontaine. We were just chatting with your sister, uh... although it seems that we didn't quite understand..."

Linny said in surprise: "Is this the famous traveler? Nice to meet you. It's rare that Linnet is willing to talk so much to you. She is usually quite taciturn. I have been the only one talking all the time."

Paimon asked: "Uh... have you heard of us?"

Linnie smiled and said, "Famous traveler, I have seen many reports about you in the Steam Bird Newspaper. I didn't expect you to come to Fontaine."

Paimon laughed. "So what did Linnett mean when she said, 'The sea is swallowing up our memories, and then ourselves'?"

Lini said, "This is a prophecy that has been circulating in Fontaine for a long time." Then he crossed his arms and said, "Well, it seems that I can't completely say it is a prophecy, because in the impression given by people, prophecies are often very mysterious, but in Fontaine it is happening now..."

Xun Yuanfeng asked curiously: "What is happening?"

"Where should I start..."

Xun Yuanfeng and Paimeng looked at Linni curiously. After all, he only knew the preview before he traveled through time and was not clear about the plot.

Lini was silent for a while and suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, let's talk about this question later. I think we haven't greeted each other formally yet, right?"

Paimon asked in confusion, "Huh? All those self-introductions just now don't count?"

Lini extended his hand to Xun Yuanfeng, "Hello, traveler."

Xun Yuanfeng held Lin Ni's hand and said, "Hello, Lin Ni, nice to meet you."

Linnie walked up to Paimon and patted him on the back, "Hello, Paimon."

Paimon said curiously, "Hey! Why aren't you shaking hands with me? What on earth are you trying to do, Linny?"

Linnie smiled and shook his head, "Hahaha... Don't worry about it, don't worry about it. Just think of it as a kind of etiquette for making friends in Fontaine. Maybe it will be useful in the future."

Paimon was surprised and said, "Is that so... Well, it's always nice to have a local friend."

Paimon straightened his expression and said, "Speaking of which, we are planning to go to the opera house to meet the water god. If it is convenient, can you help lead the way for us?"

Lini said, "Go see Funina. Sure thing. I'm planning to go to the opera house later, but you have to wait until I finish my work here."

Paimon said, "In that case, let's help as well."

"Thank you very much."

Xun Yuanfeng followed Linny along the route of the patrol ship. Soon, many people from the Fontaine Guard lined up in front.

Seeing this, Lini said to Xun Yuanfeng and Paimeng, "Um...you want to see Lady Funina? But it seems she has already come to see you."

Xun Yuanfeng looked up and saw the guards lined up on the platform in front of him. In the middle walked forward a girl in a blue dress.

Paimon said in surprise: "Eh! Is that... the Water God? How did she know we were coming..."

Furninha said loudly on the stage: "Rich, poor, those who have glasses or have nothing, raise your glasses! Those who have nothing can use their arms instead."

The many Fontaine people in the stands cheered wildly, as if they had seen a big star. This was completely different from the way Liyue, Inazuma, and Xumi treated the gods.

Finina looked at the cheering crowd below the stage, her lips curled up slightly, "As you can see, a strange traveler has come to my country. Come, let us send him blessings, and respect the traveler and his companions who have come from afar!"

The people in the audience began to applaud wildly.

Paimeng realized it belatedly and asked Xun Yuanfeng, "Are you talking about the two of us?"

Xun Yuanfeng nodded and said, "It seems so." Looking around, he saw the people of Fontaine cheering and applauding everywhere.
