NOVEL WEB Chapter 55: Discussion
"I'm not exactly empty-handed."
As he spoke, Kaito immediately used air currents to condense a greatsword in his hand.
However, because the air currents were colorless and transparent, Eula could only see something in Kaito's hand seemingly distorting the surrounding air.
"You have a Vision?"
Staring in surprise at what was in Kaito's hand, Eula instinctively blurted out the question.
There was no other explanation; something clearly beyond the scope of an ordinary person's abilities could only be attributed to a Vision.
Moreover, she had just noticed the surrounding air currents inexplicably gathering towards Kaito's hand, which made her instinctively think of an Anemo Vision.
So... Kaito acquired a Vision in the past few days?
But... I didn't know if he had a Vision before either...
Recalling previous events, Eula was now filled with doubt.
She had originally assumed Kaito didn't have a Vision, but judging by what was happening now, that might not be the case.
"You could say that."
After a moment's thought, Kaito replied.
Although he knew this answer would probably make Eula hold another grudge, it was the only way he could respond.
"What do you mean, 'I could say that'?" Eula found Kaito's answer somewhat baffling, but after thinking it over, she continued, "Never mind, I'll just assume you have a Vision. But is what you're holding right now a greatsword? It looks very much like one."
Even though the object in Kaito's hand was transparent, when observed through the slightly distorted air, it still resembled the shape of a greatsword.
She had to admit, it was the first time she had seen anyone operate like this; it truly opened her eyes.
"Yes."
Nodding, Kaito forcefully swung the condensed greatsword in his hand, and the sound of something slicing through the air instantly echoed.
"It seems I misjudged you earlier, but you didn't even warn me. I'll remember this grudge."
Now realizing Kaito wasn't simple, Eula decided to add another grudge to her list against him.
There was nothing for it; he had appeared like an ordinary person before, leading her astray.
Kaito, already accustomed to this, looked contentedly at the transparent greatsword in his hand. "This way I don't have to carry a weapon everywhere; that really feels like a hassle."
Although Kaito could now easily carry weapons wherever he went, he preferred a simpler approach.
"It truly is troublesome. Carrying weapons always makes people think you're up to something, but I can handle those people empty-handed; I don't need any weapons at all."
Eula, deeply agreeing with Kaito's words and recalling her past experiences, couldn't help but vent her frustrations to him.
"Why bother stooping to the level of those who only gossip? If they're truly unhappy, let them step forward and see if they dare."
Dispersing the condensed greatsword in his hand, Kaito smiled and offered Eula this suggestion.
"Of course! That's exactly what I do, but they never dare to step forward. Hmph, cowards." After saying this, Eula felt quite pleased with herself, but then she suddenly remembered something she had to do. "I almost forgot, I still need to head back to the city. I'm off, bye-bye."
"Mm, bye-bye." Kaito nodded.
With that, Eula waved and headed towards the city.
However, she hadn't gone far before she stopped again and turned around.
"It's almost evening now; aren't you going back? It's pitch black, you might as well try again tomorrow during the day."
How did it get dark so quickly just from talking for a bit?
It was then that Kaito noticed the sky was almost completely dark.
"Sounds about right."
After a moment of thought, Kaito decided to head back to the city for now and look for Hilichurls' trouble tomorrow during the day.
Afterwards, the two walked towards the city together.
City gates.
"Well, see you next time."
"See you next time."
At the city gates, after bidding farewell to Eula, Kaito headed straight for his rented room.
Wendy had just finished preparing the meal, so he could eat as soon as he got back.

Knights of Favonius Headquarters.
"This conjecture... feels a bit... well... how should I put it... unbelievable..."
In the office, Jean was frowning as she listened to Kaeya's conjecture.
There was no way around it; his conjecture was simply too unbelievable for her.
After all, how could the Lord Anemo Archon, who protected Mondstadt, appear beside a young man in the form of a young girl?
And they even lived together; no one would believe that if it were spoken aloud.
However, what Kaeya said wasn't baseless; there was indeed some evidence.
It was just... too shocking... even unofficial histories wouldn't dare fabricate something like this...
"But the ability to instantly quell the raging winds summoned by the Stormterror, as seen during the day, is certainly not something an ordinary person can do; it wouldn't even be an exaggeration to attribute it to the Anemo Archon's work." Lisa stated plainly, then continued, "And... she didn't attack the Stormterror; she merely drove it away."
Honestly, she also found Kaeya's conjecture hard to believe, but all circumstances indicated that the figure seen during the day had a very high probability of being the Anemo Archon, who hadn't appeared for a long time.
After all, besides the Anemo Archon, who else possessed such power?
Knock, knock, knock—
Just then, someone knocked on the office door.
"Acting Grand Master, it's me." After the knock, Eula's voice rang out.
"Come in, Eula."
Hearing it was Eula, Jean invited her in.
"Everyone's here."
Upon entering and seeing Kaeya and the others, Eula was somewhat surprised.
"We're discussing something, but if we were to tell anyone, they probably wouldn't believe it."
As he said this, Kaeya shrugged his hands and smiled helplessly.
"Oh? What is it?"
