Journey · Guangzhou Arc (Fifteen): Carnival March (One)

"Ah~ I'm finally alive again, it's so hot outside..." Dania said in a sweet, soft voice.

"So Xiao Ya is the type who's really afraid of the heat?" Yangyang asked softly with concern.

"Yes, Yaya has never really liked hot weather. She always looks listless when she goes out in the heat," Sigrika explained, nodding.

"Ah~ no wonder you guys often go out at night and stay in the hotel during the day," Suisui said knowingly, gently waving her folding fan, which gave her a unique charm.

"Because there's no sun at night, it's more comfortable to go out and play at this time than during the day," Aemeath said with a smile and a nod.

"Alright, ladies, let's get back to the main topic." Roccia clapped her hands, "Are you all planning to wander around first, or get straight to the point?"

"A group effort isn't out of the question, but it'll be difficult to handle if we disagree," Yangyang said after a moment's thought. "Shall we split up? If anyone runs into Solon, remember to send Feixin."

"Xiao Yu, what do you think?"

"I have no objection," Xiao Ling nodded. "Then let's part ways here. The exhibition ends at six o'clock this afternoon; just come back here to meet up fifteen minutes before then."

"Good!"

Wuthering Waves Ward.

"Yaya, over here!"

"Xixi ~ Slow down a bit~ I can't keep up~"

As always, best friends Xixi and Yaya traveled together, and their first stop at the carnival was the Wuthering Waves area.

There are many interactive venues in the Wuthering Waves area, including a real-life version of the Wuthering Battle, as well as various light and experiential activities. If you get tired of playing, you can even go to the Black Shores area to listen to a piano piece.

"Where does Xixi plan to go first?" Dania asked with a smile.

"Hmm... let's go to that Dreamless: Evernight's Scarlet Curtain first!"

Okay, whatever you say.

The two best friends rushed to Hecate's vicinity, only to find that someone had already begun the challenge.

"Hmm... this doesn't seem too difficult. Just pay attention to the attack trajectory, and you'll succeed if you don't get hit within the time limit." Sigrika observed for a moment, then looked at Dania and said, "Yaya, can you do it?"

"Don't you believe me?" Dania's tone rose slightly.

"How could that be Yaya!" Sigrika quickly waved her hand. "I meant if you don't like it, we can choose another one!"

"Well, isn't this pretty simple? Just watch how I do it~"

Under Sigrika's watchful gaze, Dania hopped onto the stage in a few quick movements, taking over from the previous person who had successfully completed the challenge. The audience was immediately awestruck by her cosplay and began to whisper among themselves.

"Who is this teacher? They look so realistic!"

"Don't know? Should we go up and ask later?"

"Hey! Want to come over and collect some stamps together later?"

There were countless similar comments, but Dania's attention was entirely focused on observing Hecate's attack trajectory, completely unaware of the commotion she had caused in the crowd.

With a perfect dodge on her last attempt, Dania easily completed Hecate's challenge, only to be surrounded by a group of excited tourists as soon as she jumped off the platform.

The tourists chattered amongst themselves, but they generally had two main purposes: stamp collecting and, incidentally, supporting the teacher who created the 100% accurate reproduction.

Looking at the huge crowd in front of her, Dania began to consider whether to use her Resonance Ability to escape.

She's really bad at handling these kinds of situations.

Just as Yaya was at a loss, a small but strong arm immediately pulled her out of the crowd.

"Sorry! My friend is socially awkward!" Sigrika shielded Dania behind her, helping her out of the awkward situation. "So please excuse us, we're so sorry!"

Then, Dania was pulled tightly by Sigrika and ran alongside her.

The warmth of her palm seeped through her skin and into her veins, flowing slowly into Dania's heart; she loved this feeling.

"Huff... huff."

Sigrika, who had finally pulled Dania away from the crowd, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was chasing after them.

"Yaya, are you alright?" She turned to look at Dania, whose eyes were downcast. "What happened? Are you really hurt?!"

"... Ha ha!"

Dania looked up in an instant, revealing a captivating smile, her cheeks flushed with the joy of the moment.

"I'm fine! Xixi, where do we go next?"

The challenge location for Fleurdelys.

"Look! Cartethyia has tried several times already! And she's hit every single time!"

"Wow! That's amazing?! So strong?!"

"And her cosplay is so accurate! It's like the real person has descended to earth!"

Cartethyia, standing on the challenge platform, became the center of attention among the tourists present, completely absorbed in the challenge.

Little Cart: You dare use my skills against me?

"One more time!" Cart exclaimed excitedly.

"Miss, is this your last chance? Others want to play too."

"Good!"

So the challenge began again, and Cartethyia focused intently, her gaze fixed on the seven short swords hanging there.

Then, the first short sword fell.

"Here it is!" Cartethyia swiftly grabbed the first sword.

Then came the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth...

Hey! Don't even think about running away!

As Cartethyia finished speaking, she sealed the last sword firmly in her hand.

A thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Cartethyia bowed deeply to the patiently waiting tourists, returned the props to the person in charge, and immediately left the challenge platform like a gust of wind, giving no one else a chance to take a photo.

"Miss Cart is amazing!" Phoebe clapped enthusiastically as she saw Cartethyia walking gracefully towards her, her eyes sparkling. "Six challenges, and she got them all right every time!"

"This is also a necessary part of knightly training," Cartethyia chuckled. "I just wonder what the Righteous One is doing now..."

"Hmm... I'm also curious about where Mr. Xiao Ling went. I haven't seen him since we parted ways..." Phoebe said, frowning slightly.

"Cart, Phoebe!"

The two people who were talking looked over when they heard the sound and saw Sigrika and Dania walking over hand in hand.

"What a coincidence, Sigrika, did you guys try that ride too?" Cartethyia asked gently.

"I've tried it, and it wasn't too difficult," Dania nodded. "I heard there was a teacher who looks a lot like Cartethyia who tried that game and got it right every time. Was that you?"

"Yes, I'm amazing, aren't I?" Cartethyia said with a smile.

"Awesome! Awesome!" The two best friends applauded enthusiastically.

Just then...

"Um, Miss Cart. And Sigrika and Dania too." Phoebe glanced at her phone message and hurriedly informed, "Xiao Ling has found that person!"

Cart, Little Orange, and Honey Peach immediately understood each other and exchanged knowing glances.

"Looks like it's time to settle the score now."
