"It seems our Spindrift Knight of the Knights of Favonius has made some major discovery."

Hearing Eula say this, Kaeya replied with a teasing remark.

"Go ahead, Eula."

Sensing that what Eula was about to say might be related to their current discussion, Jean prompted her to speak.

In any case, the more information they had now, the better.

"It's like this: just now, on my way back to the city, in the Stormbearer Mountains, I ran into Kaito." Seeing everyone's gaze turn to her, Eula continued, "At that time, he showed me an ability: he could manipulate air currents to form the shape of a weapon."

"You're saying that young man can manipulate air currents?"

Eula's words, it must be said, greatly surprised Kaeya.

Because according to his previous investigations, that young man shouldn't possess such an ability.

Although the young man seemed to have some skills and wasn't entirely ordinary, Kaeya hadn't discovered that he actually possessed a Vision.

This kid... is he hiding that deeply?

"It's just an Anemo Vision, why make such a fuss?"

Diluc, standing nearby, clearly couldn't understand Kaeya's surprise.

Even if not many people possessed Visions, it shouldn't have surprised Kaeya to this extent.

So Diluc felt there must be something amiss. "Do you think something is wrong?"

"If something's wrong, it's that I didn't discover the young man had a Vision. I always thought he didn't have one, and his previous actions seemed to confirm my guess, but... I was clearly mistaken."

By the end, Kaeya helplessly spread his hands.

"Perhaps the young man only obtained a Vision recently and didn't have one to begin with."

Surprised that Kaeya hadn't uncovered this information, Diluc proposed this possibility.

"That's certainly possible." Nodding, Kaeya felt this possibility was quite strong.

However, thinking of the girl accompanying him, who was suspected to be the Anemo Archon, he felt things might not be so simple. "But... I wonder if it has anything to do with the girl beside him? What do you all think?"

At this, Lisa, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. "What you're saying reminds me of the Anemo Archon's familiar."

"Anemo Archon's familiar? Lisa, are you implying...?"

"It's just a guess, and surely the Lord Anemo Archon wouldn't seek out an ordinary person to be a familiar, would she?"

Lisa herself wasn't sure if her words were correct.

After all, how could mere mortals truly understand the affairs of the gods?

"Another conjecture," Kaeya muttered to himself helplessly.

"So for now, you either pretend nothing happened, or you go confirm that girl's identity. Just speculating here is useless."

Faced with such conjectures where almost nothing was known, Diluc offered his advice.

In his opinion, merely discussing it here was pointless.

If they wanted answers, they needed to act.

"Senior Diluc is right."

In fact, Jean had already been thinking about what to do since before Diluc even spoke.

"Actually, besides what I just said, something else he told me also struck me as very strange."

At this, Eula added.

"What did he say?" Jean instinctively asked, looking at Eula, anticipating her answer.

She had been about to reveal her planned course of action after her deliberation, but Eula spoke, so she decided to listen to Eula first.

"At that time, I asked him if he had a Vision, and he replied by saying, 'You could say that.'"

Recalling their conversation, Eula recounted.

"'You could say that'?" Repeating the phrase, Kaeya fell into thought. "Why didn't he say yes or no, but instead, 'you could say that'?"

It must be said, this phrase made everyone present ponder its underlying meaning.

"Could it be... that his ability doesn't come from a Vision?"

As he said this, Diluc had already thought of a possibility in his mind, but he wasn't sure if it was correct.

"A Delusion?"

Glancing at Diluc, Kaeya also recalled some things, some unpleasant things.

With Kaeya's response, silence fell upon the office.

"Besides the Delusion option, it might also be the power of the Anemo Archon."

Lisa scanned the people in the room and offered her perspective.

"Good point, good point. After all, the girl beside him could be our Lord Anemo Archon, so it's very possible he possesses some of the Anemo Archon's power." Kaeya showed a look of sudden realization.

"So, what are the Knights of Favonius going to do?"

"Senior Diluc, would you be willing to help?"

Instead of immediately answering Diluc's question, Jean asked him this.

Even so, her meaning was already clear.

"What do you want me to do?"

Not answering whether he was willing, Diluc wanted to know what Jean intended for him to do.

-------------------------------------

The next day, noon.

Kaito's residence.

Alright... time to eat...

After Wendy finished washing up, Kaito stood up from the sofa and headed towards the door.

Having slept until late morning today, Kaito, who hadn't had breakfast, planned to go out and eat with Wendy.

Angel's Share.

Although Angel's Share was a tavern, Kaito liked to eat there.

Diluc...

Upon entering, Kaito saw Diluc behind the counter.

To be honest, he rarely saw Diluc in the tavern.

"What would the two of you like to drink or eat?"

As soon as his targets appeared, Diluc immediately got into character.

He had actually arrived at the tavern early this morning, but didn't expect his targets to show up until now.

"Hmm... this, and... this, I suppose, plus two cups of apple brew."

Looking at the menu, Kaito noticed some new items today and ordered different new dishes for both himself and Wendy.

"Alright, please wait a moment, valued guests."

Although Diluc appeared expressionless on the surface, he was actually quite surprised inwardly.

Because at that moment, Wendy was holding Kaito's right arm, quietly watching him order, completely like a docile young girlfriend.
