A member of the Spina di Rosula suddenly rushed out, breaking the quiet atmosphere between the three people on-screen!
"Boss, there was an injured resident in a building to the southeast. We've moved him to the safe zone, but right now we don't have..."
Hearing this, Navia emerged from her sorrow.
"Injured? How badly?"
After the Spina di Rosula member finished speaking, Navia thought for a moment and quickly made arrangements.
Then she turned to Paimon and Lumine apologetically. "Sorry, where were we?"
Paimon said, "Poisson's... uh..."
Navia took a deep breath, steadied her breathing, and clearly explained the extent of the disaster in Poisson.
"Everyone was trying everything they could to escape the disaster. It was complete chaos. Although the Spina di Rosula members began rescue operations as quickly as possible, there were still casualties in town. Fortunately, the water didn't keep rising for long!"
"But we still can't let our guard down. This water also contains elements of the Primordial Sea. For safety's sake, we need to evacuate the residents as soon as possible!"
Paimon held a hand to her chest, still shaken. "That's so scary. Things that could happen at any moment scare me the most. Ooh..."
Navia shook her head too, her voice full of pain. "Yes. I wish all of this were just a dream!"
[Xingqiu: Torrential rain and thunder startle fox and wolf; in the blink of an eye, mountain floods surge forth!]
[Arataki Itto: What does that mean? I don't get it, but I can sort of feel the sadness in it.]
[Beidou: Floods are utterly merciless. Whenever I sail the seas, the ocean's power always leaves me awestruck!]
[Kujou Sara: Inazuma is surrounded by the sea. It looks like we need to make some disaster preparations too!]
[Ningguang: So this disaster really is connected to the Primordial Sea water!]
[Lyney: Could this be a sign that the prophecy is about to come true?]
In the video,
Quite a few people came to Navia for instructions, so she simply went out to make the rounds herself.
Navia checked the situation everywhere and issued orders. Although her spirits were still low, every decision she made was thoroughly sound...
After some time, once Navia finished her work, she came over to Lumine and Paimon.
Navia said, "...Whew, I've got a clear picture of the overall situation now. Quite a few helpers just arrived too, so I have a little time to attend to my own affairs."
"But we can't leave everything to those reinforcements. In front of outsiders, we should show the caliber of our Spina di Rosula members!"
"Also, Traveler, Paimon, do you have time to visit my father's grave with me?"
Paimon asked in confusion, "Huh? Now?"
Then the scene cut.
The group appeared in a cemetery.
Navia looked at the surrounding scenery and sighed, speaking as though she did not care. "...There are so few people here!"
Paimon said, "The flood only just happened, and the sun's about to set too. It's pretty normal for there to be fewer people!"
Navia nodded in agreement, but there was a clear hint of tears in her trembling voice. "Yes. In the face of a disaster like that, how could those still alive be feeling much better? Even if they wanted to come, I'm afraid they wouldn't have the energy!"
Paimon said, "Hey, Navia!"
Lumine said, "Cry if you want to. You'll feel better if you let it out!"
"Sob, sob-"
"Sob, sob-"
At Lumine's words, Navia could no longer hold on. The composure she had forced herself to maintain to avoid panicking Poisson's residents finally shattered.
She sobbed like a wounded little animal.
Paimon said, "Navia, why did you suddenly..."
[Nilou: This is so sad. I want to cry too...]
[Hu Tao: Consultant Zhongli, I want to cry too. Would that be too embarrassing?]
[Zhongli: Even stone has a heart. This is only human nature!]
[Silver: Miss...]
[Sigewinne: Navia...]
[Klee: Navia, please don't be sad anymore.]
[Paimon: I hope the me in the video can comfort her properly.]
[Lumine: That's right!]
On-screen, Navia's sobbing did not stop.
Instead, it grew louder and louder, echoing through the empty cemetery for a long time, refusing to fade.
Some time passed.
She wiped haphazardly at her face with her hands. Her eyes were red, and her voice still trembled a little. "...I'm sorry, but whenever I think about it, whenever I think..."
"Melus and Silver have both left me forever!"
As she spoke, Navia, who had only just recovered, helplessly sank into a crouch once again. She stroked the gravestone before her, seeming to ask her father, yet also seeming to ask herself, "Father, what should I do now?"
Paimon exclaimed in shock, "Huh?! How could..."
Lumine said, "Navia..."
Navia said, "This is all my fault. If I hadn't agreed to that rescue plan, they... wouldn't have..."
"They stayed until the very end to help the residents of Poisson."
"...And just like that... they were... swept away... by the seawater... Sob..."
Paimon said, "Is there anything we can do to help you?"
[Navia: No. In the future, even Melus and Silver are going to leave me?]
[Jean: Others can't do much to help with the pain of losing loved ones. You still have to rely on yourself!]
[Arataki Itto: Waaaaah! Even I can't hold it in anymore! If Mamoru and Akira left me too, I couldn't accept it.]
[Mamoru: Boss, we won't leave you!]
[Ah Huang: Me neither!]
[Melus: Miss Navia, you needn't be so sad. To be honest, seeing this actually put me at ease. I hadn't seen myself on-screen before, and I was wondering whether I was so negligent at that time that I wasn't even by your side during something so serious. Now it seems we protected you very well!]
[Silver: Yes. The us in the video could at least be considered heroes, couldn't we? Dying to save the people is quite a nice claim to fame! Hahaha!]
[Navia: Don't... don't you dare say that.]
[Xiao: That spirit deserves praise!]
[Xiangling: If the Conqueror of Demons encountered a situation like this, he would definitely help the people of Liyue too, wouldn't he?]
[Barbara: Come to think of it, why haven't we seen the Hydro Archon at all?]
[Furina: Uh-The protagonist always has to appear last. Otherwise, what would there be to look forward to?]
