[Paimon: Great, you're still alive, you busker!]

[Barbara: Lord Barbatos is truly amazing; he even silently protects someone as irresponsible as Wendy.]

Kong explained the situation to Wendy. The three of them wanted Wendy to come to the bonfire party to sing and liven up the atmosphere, but they didn't expect him to faint in the pool.

Wendy was a little embarrassed. "Ah, well, let's talk about that on the way to the bonfire party."

The four headed to the bonfire party venue and encountered Kage, Kujo Sara, and Miko.

"Oh dear, what wind blew you here?"

"It's the divine child!"

"Divine Child, what are you doing here?" Kong asked.

"It's nothing, Ying's things are just missing."

Before the god could finish speaking, Wendy was already sweating profusely.

Paimon: "Are things from the Shadow very rare and valuable?"

The divine child pondered for a moment, then said mysteriously, "I can't say whether it's valuable or not, but it's certainly very rare. Because of losing a bet with me and other reasons, Ying has been working hard to learn cooking recently. She finally managed to make a string of three-colored dumplings, which should have been a cause for celebration, but guess what happened?"

Yae no Miko adjusted her tone and expression, "Waaaaah, the Three-Colored Dumpling has mysteriously disappeared..."

[Yae no Miko: Waaaaaah, poor Kage, she tried so hard, who did this? It's so awful!]

[Thunderous Movie: God Child, do you really want to be struck by lightning?]

[Yae no Miko: Don't be angry, Kage, I was just joking!]

In the video.

Paimon's brain is already overloaded. Although it's only two things, it's still too difficult for Paimon.

Nevertheless, she still wanted to play the famous detective, Conor.

Where were the tricolor dumplings placed back then?

Ying recalled for a moment and explained to her, "I specially placed it on a delicate plate, um... on the table in the hotel lounge area."

Paimon (Kogoro Mouri version): "When did Ms. Kage discover that Dango had disappeared?"

Ying tried hard to recall the situation at that time.

Wendy, standing to the side, was sweating profusely with guilt, whistling and humming to cover it up.

Paimon (Kogoro Mouri version) suddenly realized, "I get it! So that's how it is, you're the culprit, you idiot! Traveler, grab her quickly!"

"murderer?"

"Hmph, actually you found out Wendy stole your tricolor dumplings, and you were so angry that you knocked the street performer unconscious!"

[Paimon: Traveler, why are you digging your feet into the floor? Am I wrong?]

[Ying: Family members, does anyone understand? (crying)]

[Hiruzen: Traveler, I understand you (sighs)]

[Araki Ichito: Shinobu, what are you saying? I'm much smarter than that flying dwarf melon!]

[Paimon: Damn it! What did I call him in the video just now? Right! A cowherd!]

Paimon's analysis was indeed unreliable.

Kujo Sara grabbed her small frame. "The Shogun and I were together the whole time. After making the dumplings, we went downstairs at the hotel to pick up Kira's drink delivery. When we came back, we found the dumplings were gone. Kira can also corroborate this. The Shogun didn't have the time to commit the crime, so he couldn't be the murderer."

Paimon was speechless after being refuted, and looked around awkwardly.

Kujo continued, "If you were to ask this bard, I saw him arguing with a guest of the 'Waisheng Hall' at midnight. If you were to ask that gentleman, you might make some new discoveries."

Paimon: "We've already asked Mr. Zhongli, and he said..."

Yae no Miko interrupted, "Ahem, actually I was thinking, since the person involved is here, instead of making wild guesses and inferences, why don't you just ask him directly?"

Goro: Oh right! How come I didn't think of that? Since Mr. Wendy is awake, we can just ask him directly.

[Hu Tao: You've spotted the blind spot]

[Kaiya: She killed the game]

However, just as Wendy in the scene was about to explain, the video paused.

'This is an occasional fun quiz video; the reward for solving it will be given to the person who solves it.'

The question is: Who exactly plotted against Wendy?

[Xingqiu: Does that mean we're relying on our own reasoning?]

[Xiangling: No, no, I feel like I need to grow a brain.]

[Zhong Li: From a generally rational perspective, since Mr. Wendy has already made compensation, I will not take further action. I am not the murderer.]

[Araki Ichito: It's not like I'm the one who would hit my own friend.]

At this moment, Wendy of the Windrise Lands, a bard who has lived for so many years and told so many stories, is...

He roughly guessed what kind of story it was, and felt somewhat embarrassed.

[Heizo Kanoin: Let this detective reconstruct this case]

[Yōmiya: (Applause)]

[Hirazo Kanoin: After arriving at the resort, Mr. Wendy must have had a craving for alcohol around noon, so he bought some alcohol under the guise of Mr. Zhongli, but was caught red-handed, which led to the scene of the two arguing.]

Wendy: That's not a drinking fit, it's a burst of poetic inspiration.

[Hirazo Kanoin: Then, Mr. Wendy left after promising compensation. Around 2:30, he came to the beach to play volleyball with Ichito. When Ichito hit the ball into the shallow water, Mr. Wendy ran over to retrieve it. Ichito was not the murderer.]

[Shinoin Heizo: Wendy, who had arrived at the shallow sea, met Xiao, who was tied up with other things, and offered to help him, so she returned to the hotel.]

[Paimon: So the culprit is still General Thunder?!]

[Kujo Sara: I already said that the Shogun had no time to commit a crime]

[Kanoin Heizo: The murderer is not the Shogun, but the result may be somewhat offensive to the Shogun.]

[Lei Movie: It's fine, it's just a fan-made video.]

[Shinoin Heizo: Wendy arrived at the hotel, having been caught by Mr. Zhongli at noon and unable to drink, and having played volleyball with Ichito for a long time, she was completely exhausted. Upon seeing the unclaimed three-colored dumplings on the table, she couldn't resist picking them up and eating them.]

[Hiyōzō Kanoin: Little did he know, the Shogun's dumplings were not suitable for Mr. Wendy on an empty stomach, causing him to feel dizzy and fall into the pool.]

[Ying: (Clapping)]

Paimon: (Clapping)

[Yōmiya: (Applause)]

[Yae no Miko: Little detective, you even went to the trouble of coming up with such a tactful way to exonerate Kage. You've really gone to a lot of trouble.]

'Congratulations to Heizo Kanoin for obtaining the Detective Elementary School Student Tech Skateboard, a reward from this system.'

'Video continues'

Wendy began to explain, and sure enough, it was exactly the same reasoning as Heizo's.

Paimon: "Hmm~ So it turns out that the reason I was busking was because I was greedy."

Wendy: "Hey, but I'm still grateful to the Traveler and Paimon for worrying about me."

With the matter resolved, everyone enjoyed a bonfire party together and had a great time. As for the mysterious invitation, they had long forgotten about it.

The video ends.

[Barbara: So, is this related to Lord Barbatos?]

[Wendy: Making videos seems to be like writing poetry; you need a gimmick too]

Wendy was finally relieved; Barbara's purity was indeed too high. However, she doubted that many people would make that connection with her own appearance.

If Wendy doesn't say anything, Ying naturally won't either.

'Our vacation is over, let's experience a thrilling battle royale!'

'Void, activate!'

Preparing to play the video: Void Brawl.

Chapter 37: Strongest + Luckiest ≠ Guaranteed

Preparing to play the video: Void Brawl.

[Datalia: Battle Royale? So Exciting!]

[Kaeya: System, there are so many kids in Teyvat, isn't it inappropriate to put this here?]

[Zhong Li: Indeed, the rules and visuals of battle royale are too cruel for children.]

Don't worry, it's just a battle royale game.

'Being defeated will teleport you back to reality. There is no gore. Watch with peace of mind.'

[Jean: That's good. Klee is already hard to manage, so don't let her come into contact with any weird things.]

Paimon: What is Battle Royale, Traveler?

[Ying: It's about putting a group of people into an area to fight each other until only one person is left.]

Paimon: Huh? This is terrifying! Can't the two of us survive together?

[Ying: Of course, you have to follow the rules when playing games!]

'Due to the large number of participants in this video, the rewards will be distributed in a different format.'

This system will list the champion candidates on the screen.

'Everyone can vote for the player they think will win.'

Finally, those who make the correct choice will receive a reward from the system.

Of course, the contestants' skill levels vary.

The system's rewards will also change based on the number of winners.

"Should we follow the crowd and choose the most skilled fighter as a consolation prize, or should we find a different path and choose the lucky one to win big with a small investment?"

'It's all up to you, Teyvatians, get moving and choose your champion!'
