Chapter 153 – Meeting Childe Again (Bonus Chapter)

Inside the Northland Bank, Childe was chatting with the receptionist about something.

“This isn’t appropriate, Lord Harbinger.”

“How could you…”

Yekaterina looked at Tartaglia before her and spoke with a strange expression.

“Just this once.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine!”

Tartaglia looked at the receptionist before him, smiling and waving his hand dismissively.

Qiu Xue and Qiu Yue, along with Teucer, walked into the Northland Bank.

And there they saw Childe.

“Childe really is here.”

Qiu Xue looked at Childe and murmured with a smile.

“Brother! Brother! Brother!”

Teucer called out three times in a row, running from beside Qiu Xue to behind Tartaglia.

“Ah, that voice… Teucer!”

Hearing this voice, Tartaglia widened his eyes and spoke in disbelief.

“Oh my, it’s Teucer!”

Tartaglia turned around, looked down at Teucer, and exclaimed with delight.

“Hahaha, is this the surprise you prepared for me, Teucer?”

“I thought I’d have to wait until I returned to Snezhnaya to see you…”

Tartaglia looked at Teucer before him, speaking with pleasant surprise.

“Your sister Tonia, and brother Anton…”

“How are they? Are they doing well?”

Tartaglia asked Teucer several questions in a row, he was simply overjoyed.

“They all miss you so much!”

“Sister Tonia prays every evening before dinner, wishing for your safety…”

Teucer looked up at Childe and said happily.

“…Wait, hold on, Teucer!”

“How did you come to Liyue? I didn’t receive any news…”

Childe looked at Teucer. Though delighted, he still spoke with some confusion.

“Well, this… I saw a ship that looked like it sold toys.”

“I thought you were on it…”

Teucer, like a child who had done something wrong, scratched the back of his head.

“After getting off the ship, I walked and walked, and then I saw a Ruin Guard!”

“The Ruin Guard chased away a bad guy.”

“And then, the pretty big sister brought me here.”

Teucer looked at Tartaglia, explaining excitedly.

“To think…”

“Teucer is actually Mr. Tartaglia’s younger brother.”

Qiu Yue looked at Tartaglia and spoke with a smile.

“Miss Qiu Yue?”

“Hahaha, I haven’t seen you in a long time. How have you been lately?”

Tartaglia looked at the stunningly beautiful Qiu Yue and asked with a smile.

He knew very well that this was Qiu Bai’s sister, and also a deity.

“I’ve been doing well, Tartaglia.”

Qiu Yue looked at Childe and nodded with a smile.

“And this is?”

Childe looked at Qiu Xue beside Qiu Yue, speaking with some confusion.

She looked so much like Qiu Yue, probably a sister or something similar.

“This is my older sister, Qiu Xue.”

Qiu Yue looked at Qiu Xue beside her and introduced with a smile.

“Older sister?”

Childe stroked his chin, speaking in surprise.

Qiu Bai was Qiu Yue’s older brother, he was the Adeptus of the Two Principles, a deity of Liyue.

Then who was this older sister? Though he didn’t know.

But judging by how much she resembled Qiu Yue, she was at least a deity as well.

Qiu Yue winked at Qiu Xue,

as if saying: How about it, sister? I covered for you pretty well, didn’t I?

Qiu Xue looked at Qiu Yue beside her and nodded with a smile.

“Hello, I’m Qiu Xue.”

“I’m also Qiu Bai’s younger sister.”

Qiu Xue covered her abdomen with both hands.

A delicate hand extended, introducing herself to Tartaglia.

Childe sized up the woman before him.

Unlike Qiu Yue’s natural airheadedness, Qiu Xue gave off a gentle and quiet impression.

“Hello, I’m Tartaglia.”

Childe shook Qiu Xue’s delicate hand, smiling as he spoke.

At the same time, Childe marveled that Qiu Bai’s family was truly a gathering place for divine beings.

“Damn it, that Qiu Bai really had me running in circles.”

“But his two sisters are quite gentle and beautiful.”

“Especially this Qiu Yue.”

Childe inwardly sighed with some helplessness, then looked at Qiu Yue with a smile.

Qiu Yue noticed Tartaglia’s gaze and responded with a smile.

That smile made Childe blush.

“Ahem.”

Childe quickly averted his gaze.

“But Teucer, this is too dangerous. I’m really happy to see you.”

“But promise your brother you won’t do such risky things in the future.”

Childe looked down at Teucer, speaking with concern.

“Mmm… Teucer understands.”

“Brother, please don’t be angry with me.”

Teucer clasped his hands behind his back, not daring to look at Childe, apologizing guiltily.

“Brother isn’t angry, I’m just worried about you.”

“If you hadn’t met these two, Teucer’s situation could have been dangerous.”

“Did you thank them properly?”

Childe glanced at Qiu Xue and Qiu Yue, smiling and nodding.

Then he turned his gaze to Teucer, speaking patiently.

“Yes! Teucer is very polite.”

Teucer looked at his brother, smiling as he spoke.

“This child is really adorable.”

Qiu Yue patted Teucer’s head, smiling as she spoke.

“Big sister is very beautiful too.”

“It would be even better if she became brother’s wife.”

Teucer looked up at Qiu Yue, happily saying.

“Mmm…”

Teucer’s words immediately made Qiu Yue blush.

Qiu Xue looked at Teucer, the corner of her mouth twitching.

She hadn’t expected this child to understand such things.

“Ahahaha…”

“Teucer, where did you learn all this?”

Childe also laughed somewhat awkwardly.

Then he scratched his head, looking at the blushing Qiu Yue, and said somewhat sheepishly.

“It’s fine, he’s just a child.”

Qiu Yue, her face slightly flushed, patted Teucer’s head and said softly.

“Still, allow me to formally thank you two ladies for escorting my brother.”

“His safety is really important to me.”

Childe placed a hand over his chest, sincerely thanking Qiu Xue and Qiu Yue.

“I understand the feeling of worrying about family.”

“I often worry about my sister too.”

Qiu Yue patted Teucer’s head, looking up at Childe with a sweet smile.

“But Teucer said you’re a toy salesman, what’s that about?”

“Aren’t you a Fatui Harbinger?”

Qiu Yue looked at Childe somewhat puzzled. Mr. Zhongli had once told her.

Childe Tartaglia was the Eleventh Load of the Fatui Harbingers.

“Ahem… well… ah~ you mean that.”

Childe touched his head, clearing his throat somewhat evasively.

Then he walked over to Qiu Yue’s side.

“Shh… because in a child’s eyes, selling toys is an enviable job, right?”

“And, I don’t want my family to come into contact with the Fatui’s… or rather, Snezhnaya’s… darker side.”

He whispered into Qiu Yue’s ear.

This instantly made Qiu Yue flush bright red.

“What a bold lad, flirting with my sister right in front of me.”

Qiu Xue watched the scene, a dangerous glint flickering in her gentle eyes.

“Although the older siblings among my younger brothers and sisters…”

“already know I serve Her Majesty the Tsaritsa, but in the eyes of my youngest brother…”

Childe turned around, looking toward Teucer.

“Ahem, I remain Snezhnaya’s finest traveling toy salesman!”

“Affiliated with the Liyue branch’s toy research department!”

Childe raised a hand, declaring proudly.
