"Feng Yi!!! I treated you as a friend, and you want to use me as bait to fish! Hmph, Paimon is not to be trifled with either. You'd better not sleep too soundly tonight!"
Paimon hid behind Lumine, peeking out half her body, glaring at Feng Yi indignantly.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, where did you get that idea? The bait I'm talking about is the gem in Barbara's hand..."
Feng Yi was speechless. Where did Paimon get the confidence to think he could attract fish?
"So that's how it is, hehe..."
The misunderstanding cleared, Paimon felt a bit awkward, unsure of where to put her hands.
"Feng Yi, can gems really attract fish?"
Barbara sounded confused.
When she went fishing in the lake as a child, the bait she prepared were always foods that fish liked.
But gems can't be eaten...
"This island is not normal, so the fish here can't be considered with common sense. Look at the colors of these gems, do they correspond exactly to the colors of the scales we're looking for?"
Feng Yi knew that using gems to fish was a bit absurd, but that's how it really was.
Barbara and the others didn't know the plot, so it was normal for them to have such doubts.
"The greedy elf, the greedy elf... The letter said the elf who kept the key was greedy, so it's quite possible they'd be attracted by such beautiful gems. Instead of guessing here, why not try it..."
Jean recalled the song in the letter and was somewhat inclined to believe Feng Yi's suggestion.
They might as well try with the gems. Even if it failed, there would be no loss.
"It might not be possible yet. Do you remember the line in the letter: 'The greedy elf, the greedy elf, made the moon run in circles.' I think we should wait until nightfall, when the stars fill the night sky and the moon rises, then the fish with the three-colored scales will be attracted..."
Feng Yi stopped Barbara, who was about to throw the gem into the sea.
"Now that you mention it, that does make sense. The person who wrote this letter wouldn't waste useless ink. But there's still a while until night, what should we do now?"
Jean nodded. The things they had experienced these past two days made her very clear that they shouldn't underestimate the song in the letter.
Since the person behind it wrote it that way, there must be a reason.
"Fishing with bombs! Klee wants to fish with bombs!"
Klee declared that the best way to kill time was to blow up fish.
"Wait, Klee..."
Jean instinctively called out to the excited Klee.
"Huh? Acting Grand Master Jean wants to go fishing with bombs too? The fish here are delicious~"
Klee looked hopefully at Acting Grand Master Jean, wishing for her permission.
With so many delicious fish swimming around, Klee was itching to blow them up.
"Hmm... Alright, then I'll make an exception and go fishing with bombs with Klee."
Jean thought about how busy she usually was with work and rarely spent time playing with Klee, feeling guilty about Alice's entrustment. She decided to be a little indulgent this time.
"What did I just hear? Acting Grand Master Jean is going fishing with bombs?!"
Paimon was shocked.
Fish: Catastrophe! The sky is falling! The holy light has betrayed us! May there be no bombs in heaven...
Mondstadt's fish: Bro, rest in peace!
"Fish is delicious, so it's worth it!"
Klee said very seriously.
Paimon: What a fierce logic!!!
"This is an uninhabited island, so using bombs shouldn't bother anyone... Relaxing a bit, I think it should be okay?"
Jean smiled slightly. Such opportunities were rare.
"Let's go find fish! Let's go!"
Klee was overjoyed. This time, she was blowing up fish by decree, and she could finally unleash her full power.
"Everyone, see you later. Klee, wait for me, don't run so fast..."
Jean nodded at everyone and then chased after Klee, who had run off with a 'dada da' sound.
"Barbara, what are your plans for this period of time?"
Feng Yi asked Barbara, who was beside him.
"Hmm... It's rare to have such an opportunity to relax. I think I'll just idle around by the sea, feel the sea breeze, and listen to the sound of the waves lapping against the shore..."
Barbara glanced at Lumine and Paimon beside Feng Yi. If she could spend time alone with Feng Yi, she could certainly do things she liked.
"Wow, listening to Barbara say that, I also want to just idle around all afternoon."
Paimon was captivated by the scene Barbara described. Although Barbara hadn't described it very specifically, the relaxing time of slacking off and lying flat was still very attractive to her.
"Feng Yi, Lumine, are you guys coming to watch the sea too?"
Paimon immediately asked the other two for their opinions.
"That sounds wonderful."
Lumine smiled. She also wanted to spend an afternoon lazily.
"Hehe, I have some great props here..."
Feng Yi smiled mysteriously.
"Beach umbrella, beach mat, lounge chair, freshly squeezed juice, ice cubes, sunglasses, swimsuits... Of course, to avoid sunburn, I've also brought sunscreen..."
Feng Yi brought out all the props from the Serenitea Pot.
After Lumine and Barbara changed into their swimsuits, Feng Yi diligently and thoughtfully applied sunscreen to them with his own hands.
Paimon: Damn Feng Yi, I came here to enjoy myself, why do I have to squeeze juice here?!
Paimon was assigned to squeeze fresh juice on the side, looking unhappy and muttering to herself.
"Hmph, if you make me squeeze juice, then I'll drink all of it, so you'll have none to drink..."
Paimon added a spoonful of ice cubes, hugged the juice barrel, and drank it down with gulps.
*Burp*
"Ah, refreshing~"
Paimon looked blissful. She sort of understood Feng Yi's good intentions; this was truly a good job.
A job where she could drink juice to her heart's content, she would even do it for free.
"Paimon, is the juice ready yet? Are you slacking off?"
Half an hour later, Feng Yi looked at the fair, dazzling, and faintly holy-glowing long legs and back in front of him, feeling a sudden thirst. He then asked Paimon to bring him some ice-cold, delicious freshly squeezed juice.
"Feng Yi, that... that thing, the fruit ingredients are gone..."
"Hmm? Where did the fruit ingredients I gave you go?"
Feng Yi was stunned. He had given Paimon so many ingredients, how could they be gone?
"I... I don't know..."
Paimon replied with a lack of confidence.
"Hmm? What's with your round little belly?"
Feng Yi walked over to Paimon and, seeing her plump little belly, immediately understood what was going on. He then pretended to be ignorant and looked at Paimon.
"It's for squeezing juice, you have to experiment with different flavors, innovation is very important. To avoid waste, I drank all the experimental juices..."
"Wait, the raw materials I gave you were enough to squeeze a whole large barrel! You drank it all?!"
