Genshin impact: I have chat Group

Boom!

With a loud splash, water erupted in the air, revealing Klee's joyful smile, Qiqi's slightly relieved face, and Renge's wide-open mouth on the riverbank. The once-clear stream had turned murky, and dazed fish floated to the surface, their bodies twitching unconsciously.

"What just happened?!"

Renge stared with wide eyes, her fists clenched as she watched Klee happily run toward the crabs and crayfish blown onto the riverbank. Her eyes sparkled with admiration as she turned back to the clearing waters before quickly chasing after Klee.

Qiqi, crouched down, picked up a bright red crayfish that had landed by her feet. She held it up, shaking it slightly. Watching the dizzy crayfish regain its vigor and start snapping its claws at her, Qiqi nodded in satisfaction.

"Klee-chan really controlled the power well this time," Qiqi remarked. Flicking the crayfish's head lightly with her finger, she held it and turned to Klee and Renge, who were gleefully collecting crabs and crayfish nearby.

"Klee-chan, how did you manage it this time?"

"Hmm?"

Klee looked up from her crouched position, clutching a crab in her small hands. Tilting her head curiously, she suddenly remembered.

"Oh! Klee worked really hard and asked Shubi-neechan and Riku-nii for help."

"Shubi-neechan said Klee's energy control is already good, but I was misjudging the power needed for Jumpy Dumpty. I shouldn't always try to make it stronger and more explosive, like Megumin-neechan suggests."

"So Shubi-neechan taught me about different power levels for Jumpy Dumpty."

Klee held up a wriggling crayfish in her hands. A faint golden light shimmered, and the crayfish's body twitched before releasing a delicious aroma. Any inedible parts were incinerated.

Wide-eyed, Klee peeled the shell with a practiced motion, revealing tender white meat. She sniffed it curiously before popping a piece into her mouth.

"Ah~!"

Watching Klee, Renge froze in place, curiosity written all over her face. 

"Klee, is it tasty?" she asked.

"Not sure," Klee replied, shaking her head. She held out the crayfish to Qiqi and Renge.

"Try some! It tastes a bit strange to me."

The three little ones gathered and shared the freshly cooked crayfish, savoring it together. Meanwhile, hurried footsteps approached from behind.

"Qiqi, Klee, Renge, are you okay?!"

Looking worried, Takimoto Hifumi and Miyauchi Ichijo called out as they reached the riverbank. Seeing the three unharmed and happily eating, they breathed a sigh of relief. Sharing glances with the others who had followed, everyone finally relaxed.

The group had been trailing the three kids when they ran down to the riverbank. The sudden explosion had terrified them, prompting Hifumi and Ichijo to sprint ahead, leaving the others struggling to keep up.

"Hifumi-neechan?"

Klee, cheeks puffed from chewing, looked up to find the group now gathered on the riverbank.

"You three, come up here. It's not safe down there," Hikari Yagami and Ichijo said simultaneously, beckoning them.

"Okay."

Responding softly, Klee gathered her spoils and stood up. Along with Qiqi and Renge, she ran back to the path.

"Hifumi-neechan, why are you here? Did something happen?" Klee asked, blinking her large eyes at the crowd encircling them.

"Are you three hurt from the explosion earlier?!"

Crouching in front of them, Ichijo and Yagami quickly examined Klee, Qiqi, and Renge for injuries. Finding them unharmed, they finally relaxed. Ichijo's gaze turned to the small crater in the riverbed.

"Where did that explosive come from, and who threw it?" she asked, lowering her voice as she looked at Renge.

"Renge-chan, did you see who threw the firecracker? It's dangerous for someone to toss explosives like that. I'll report them to the police!"

Her stern tone and looming shadow made the three freeze. Exchanging glances, they quickly shook their heads in unison.

"We don't know! We didn't see anything! It wasn't us!"

Klee hurriedly closed her backpack, hiding her spoils and tucking Dodoco behind her. Pursing her lips, she forced an innocent smile.

Noticing the Dodoco plush peeking out, Hifumi immediately realized what had caused the explosion. The reduced power had caught her off guard; it was far weaker than the Jumpy Dumpties she remembered.

Sighing, Hifumi picked Klee up and looked into her darting eyes as she chewed something. Shaking her head, she said, "No more of this next time, okay?"

"Got it?"

"Got it~~" the three chorused, nodding.

Smiling, Hifumi ruffled their hair. Ignoring the bewildered stares of the others, she popped the cooked crayfish Klee offered into her mouth and swallowed.

"Hifumi… are you okay?" Aoba asked, pressing a hand to her forehead to check her temperature. 

Looking down, she saw Klee offering another steaming crayfish. Aoba hesitantly accepted, her mind full of questions. How had Klee managed to cook the crayfish so quickly? And why did someone so clearly unable to lie carry powerful explosives?

Taking a cautious bite, Aoba muttered, "It just tastes like regular shrimp…"
