Chapter 52 My eyes… so heavy… can’t… sleep…

(Hmm… I can't think of anything… Sigh… I'll just be shy as I promised the little system earlier… How shy should I be? Not holding hands with him? But if we're really a couple, wouldn't this be too much? But I've lost my memory, so a little over the top shouldn't be a problem, right?)

"Angel~ Your face looks a little off,"

"Huh? Does it?"

"Maybe it's just my imagination." (Seeing her in thought makes me feel like she's about to regain her memories… I need to find a way to win her over quickly…)

"Huh? That..."

"Yes? What is it, Angel?"

"Do you know those people ahead?" Ying asked, pointing to a few Hilichurls in front of them with confusion.

"Those people ahead? What the heck, Hilichurls?!"

While they were talking, a few more Hilichurls emerged from the nearby bushes and approached the two.

"Angel… Can you take care of them…?"

"Take care of them? Me?"

"Pfft! Run!"

Kris Malosroza finished speaking, grabbed Ying's arm, and ran desperately towards an area without Hilichurls.

After some time…

"Haa… Haa… Damn… I'm exhausted…"

"You can defeat fierce beasts, but you run when you see them… Are they stronger than beasts?"

"Ah… Because I used up all my strength fighting the beasts just now, that's why I ran…" (Damn, I shouldn't have bragged about that…)

"Is that so… Also, you just told me to take care of them… Am I that capable?"

"Well… Although not as much as me, you do have combat ability. I've taught you many combat techniques."

"Many… But I don't have any recollection of it right now…"

"It's okay, it's okay. Feelings can be cultivated again. Were you shy when you held my hand earlier~"

"No." (Instead, I felt a bit uncomfortable… But if I say it, he might be sad…)

"No… It's okay! It'll get better in the future… Haha… Ha…" (This won't do…)

"Hmm… What should we do next?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll think of a way~" (What way? The only way back I remember is blocked by them…)

"Yare yare~ Let me help the host this time~"

(Huh? Why is that system's voice in my head?)

"Of course, it's because this system is communicating with you telepathically~"

(Wow! You're that powerful?! Do you have a solution, System?)

"Hmph hmph~ I can teleport both of you near Mondstadt, but the price for doing so is that it will consume a large amount of your mental energy. How do you feel, Host?"

(Hmm… Okay, please teleport us there.)

"Okay, Host. Just grab his clothes and say 'Anemoia'~ Oh, and if he asks, just say you suddenly remembered it yourself~"

(Oh, oh!) Ying nodded her head and said to that guy.

"Um, I have a way to get you down the mountain."

"Oh? What good idea did Angel come up with?"

"Um… Grab my clothes and say… Please teleport us to the Anemoia…"

Teleporting…

"Huh?! Did I just teleport?! Angel, what kind of skill is this? It's so powerful!" The man asked in surprise, finding himself in another place with a stunned expression.

"...Um… I don't really know the specific situation… I just suddenly remembered it…"

"[Pfft—?!] Suddenly remembered?! Then… Then did Angel remember anything else…"

"Anything else? Hmm… No…"

"Phew… That's good…"

"Hmm… Let's go find my sister quickly… I'm feeling so sleepy." Ying said with a yawn, rubbing her eyes looking drowsy.

"Is it a side effect?" (Wait… So sleepy?!)

"...Probably… Yes…"

"If Angel is too sleepy, you can sleep here for a while before looking for your sister. No one will disturb you as long as I'm here~"

"But…"

"It's okay, it's okay~ Look how nice the scenery is here. It would be a real loss not to rest here. Come on, lie down~"

"But I promised I'd go… to my sister's tonight…"

"Oh dear, plans can't keep up with changes~ Look, your eyes are almost closing~" (Sleep, sleep, just sleep for me…)

"No… Can't… Break my promise…"

"How can you call it breaking a promise~ Sleep now, sleep now, don't resist~ I will definitely cherish you later~" Kris Malosroza forcefully pulled Ying down onto the ground.

(I don't even have the strength to resist anymore… You're finally in my hands, Angel (ಡwಡ))

"My eyes… so heavy… Can't… sleep…"

"Hey! Lumine, look, there are two people over there~ The girl looks very weak. It's a pity it's too dark to see clearly…"

"Paimon, don't you know we're out here looking for Ying?"

"Hehe, I'm just observing all around~"

"Really, don't you think about what would happen if something happened to Ying?"

"Relax, relax. Although Ying's strength isn't as good as yours, ordinary people can't take her down, right?"

"But she has bad luck, and even though she knows she has bad luck, she always uses the excuse of 'separate efficiency being higher' when I want to act together with her… While the logic is sound, she completely fails to notice my true intentions…"

"Hahaha, she probably doesn't want you to worry about her all the time."

"But this only makes me worry more! Like today, why isn't she back yet, it's so late…"

"Wow! That guy just pushed the girl to the ground! Do you think they're going to kiss next? Wait… Something's not right… That girl seems a little resistant… It doesn't look like they're a couple…"

"I told you we're here to find Ying…"

"That girl's build looks a bit like yours… Wait… That outfit also looks familiar… It looks like… Ying?!"
