Genshin Impact : Eerie Teyvat-Chapter 150: Ch : Meet Aether again

Facing Aether, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Dottore revealed a slightly surprised expression...

He casually tossed Yelan to the ground, then blinked backward, dodging Aether's attack.

"So it's you..." Dottore stared at Aether, speaking slowly.

"That's right, Dottore. It's me. We meet again," Aether responded.

"...Very well."

As Dottore spoke, he turned to look at Su Yuan and said apologetically:

"Su Yuan, my dearest friend, it seems that something unexpected has happened today. Someone who shouldn't be here has interrupted our chance to form a bond of friendship..."

"In that case, I shall take my leave for now. Let us look forward to our next meeting..."

With that, Dottore slowly vanished into the nearby forest—and Aether didn't seem inclined to stop him.

Su Yuan was a bit surprised—was Aether really that strong now?

Wasn't he nearly solo-killed by a single eerie hilichurl not long ago?

And now he could scare off Dottore in a head-on confrontation?

That's... so strange... I just can't make sense of it...

Was it that Dottore had gotten weaker, or that Aether had gotten stronger?

Su Yuan quickly went to check on Yelan's condition.

Fortunately, she was still breathing and had a heartbeat—she had only fallen unconscious...

He gently laid Yelan down on the soft grass, letting the shade of the trees shield her from the sun.

Then, Su Yuan turned to Aether and asked:

"Aether, what are you doing in Liyue too?"

"Since you're here, that must mean everything's fine in Sumeru, right?"

"Yeah, that's right. I just came from Sumeru. Everything's normal over there, don't worry."

Right now, Aether looked and felt exactly the same as he had before...

But as Su Yuan looked at him, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off—though he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was...

"But... aren't the teleport waypoints broken too?"

Su Yuan asked in confusion: frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"Sumeru and Liyue are so far apart. How did you get here so quickly?"

"And how did you even know where I was?"

"Not all the teleport waypoints are broken—there are still a few that are working normally."

Aether replied, "I used those still-functioning waypoints to get to Liyue."

"As for how I found your location, that's simple," Aether said with a smile.

"There's a mysterious force on you... something that's been drawing me toward you all this time. That's how I found you."

Su Yuan nodded.

So that was it...

It must be what the rule prompt in his right palm had mentioned earlier—about how people from other worlds are naturally drawn to each other...

Aether must have sensed that pull and used it to pinpoint his location.

Tch... it's supposed to be a mutual attraction, right?

So why can others sense where he is, but he can't sense where they are?

Su Yuan grumbled internally in mild frustration.

"Well, whatever. In any case, since you're here in Liyue too, Aether, that means we've gained another ally on our side!"

Cough, cough...

Just then, Yelan suddenly let out a couple of coughs.

She furrowed her brows, rubbed her head, and muttered weakly:

"My head... it's spinning and aching..."

"What happened to me...?"

"Dottore! That bastard Dottore—where is he? I think I saw his figure right before I passed out!"

Yelan shot up from the ground in alarm, immediately going on high alert and scanning her surroundings.

"It's alright, Yelan. Dottore has already left," Aether said as he looked toward her.

"Traveler?"

Yelan looked at Aether in confusion, then turned to Su Yuan and asked:

"Su Yuan, didn't you say the Traveler had gone to Sumeru?"

"I did. I went to Sumeru first, but everything there was calm and normal—so I rushed over here to Liyue right after," Aether replied with a smile.

He looked at Yelan and said warmly,

"From here on, please allow me to travel alongside the two of you..."

But just then, a sudden realization struck Su Yuan like lightning.

That's what felt off this whole time—where's Paimon?

The floating "emergency food" who was always by Aether's side—why was she nowhere to be seen?

"Aether! Where's Paimon? What happened to her?!"

Su Yuan grabbed Yelan and took a few cautious steps back, his eyes now filled with wariness as he stared at Aether.

Yelan, picking up on the shift, also grew tense—her expression turning grave as she locked her gaze on him.

A terrifying thought flashed through Su Yuan's mind:

Could it be... that Aether has already been corrupted and controlled by the Eerie?

Was that why Dottore had chosen to retreat without a fight—because he knew something was wrong with "Aether"?

And Paimon... she might already...

"You mean Paimon?"

Aether gave a faint smile, then slowly stuck out his tongue and licked his lips as if savoring something delicious.

"On the way from Sumeru to Liyue, I was just... so hungry."

"And since Paimon is the best emergency food in all of Teyvat, of course it was time for her to finally fulfill her purpose."

"So, I made a nice broth out of her. The taste... I swear, it was the best thing I've ever eaten."

"Not too salty, not too bland—just perfect..."

Su Yuan's heart sank.

What he feared most had come true—Aether had already been corrupted by the Eerie.

Which also meant... Sumeru might no longer be safe.

But just then—

"Traveler! Seriously! Look what you've done with that awful joke!"

A familiar voice rang out from the nearby grass, and a moment later, Paimon slowly floated out from the bushes.

"Look at you scaring Su Yuan and Yelan like that!"

Su Yuan and Yelan both stared at Paimon in shock—then turned their confused, shaken gazes back to Aether...

Oh man, seriously? Even now you're still joking around with us?

The eerie smile on Aether's face faded, replaced by a bright, cheerful grin.

He stepped forward, giving both Su Yuan and Yelan a pat on the shoulder and said apologetically:

"Sorry about that. I thought for a long time about what kind of scene it would be when we finally met again..."

"In the end, despite Paimon's objections, I went with this... unique kind of reunion."

"So? Did I manage to scare you?"

"Aether, that was a solid performance... but please don't do it again."

Su Yuan looked at Aether's grinning face, clearly exasperated.

"My poor heart can't take shocks like that..."

"Hahaha, alright, I promise—no next time!"

Aether laughed as he gave Su Yuan's shoulder another pat.

"But actually, Su Yuan... didn't you notice? What I said just now—there were some contradictions in it."

"I said I used teleport waypoints to come to Liyue, right? That should've been instant... so how could I have gotten hungry on the way? Let alone stewed Paimon and eaten her?"

Su Yuan nodded — that's true...

Had he been too tense to notice the contradiction earlier?

Well, either way, now that Aether had reunited with him, they had gained another strong ally in the fight against the Eerie in Liyue...

After all, he was the protagonist of this world, wasn't he?
