6. Liyue Branch (7)
The night in Liyue is just as chaotic as the day. On the contrary, when you enter an alley, it is filled with lanterns and you see a more colorful scene than during the day. Liyue’s famous night market was always crowded with travelers from all over the Tivat continent. Liyue Port at night, filled with the shouts of drunkards, the sweet whispers of lovers, and the merry play of clowns, was like a light that never goes out all year round.
However, this is only a story within the city. As soon as you leave Liyue Port and take a few steps, darkness falls, making it impossible to see an inch in front of you. This is a place where the bustling world becomes quiet and only the howling sound of the night sounds. Fissle and I were walking relying on the moonlight.
Last night, I was asked by Fissle to ‘spend a night with her.’ For me, who decided to grant the wish, it was an offer I couldn’t avoid. So I was worried on the inside, but it turned out that Fissle didn’t think anything of it.
Fisle’s intention was to ‘look at the night sky.’ For some reason, I wondered what it meant because words like ‘observation’ were mixed together. Fissle would also be interested in the occult, so observing the night sky would have been one of her exciting hobbies. And Fissle’s wish was for me to join in on his hobby.
I was fortunate, but I felt strangely regretful. I asked Fisl, slightly out of breath due to the steep slope.
“Fisle, when you said we wanted to spend the night together, did you mean to go hiking?”
Fisle glanced back at me. Oz was flying in front of Fissle and me. Because Oz is a magical creature, it used to glow a soft purple color at night. So, even though I didn’t want to, I was taking on the role of a lantern instead.
Oz looked a little shaken, but what could he do? She was better than carrying a lantern. The night of the Tivat continent was more dangerous than the day, so it would have been difficult to reveal the location with lights.
Fisle’s face, with his back turned to the soft light, was more attractive than usual. She was smiling mischievously.
“Huh, then what did you think it meant? “My servant.”
Oh my, I snorted to myself. It seems like he was planning to make fun of me, but now it was time for even Lumine to hit back after teasing me. After the last fight with Signora, Mona had loosened the reins, and all that was left was my brakes, which were much looser.
I smiled at him. A sly voice came out of my mouth.
“I thought you meant to do this and that on the bed again…….”
“…… Oh, no!”
Fisle’s face turned red at my blunt words. And as the shouting continued, I pretended to cover my ears.
“No, we’ve already slept together once, right? “He said he was disappointed that he couldn’t do that more last time.”
“Well, that’s…” Well, so…….”
Fissle hesitated, trying to find something to say, but she couldn’t shake off the words that were spoken, just as she couldn’t put back spilled water. She eventually turned her head again, humming with a blush on her face.
I tried to act calm, but I decided not to say anything because I found Fissul’s clumsy way of hiding his favor to be cute. She started to feel out of breath.
“Ah, anyway, the road to destiny is not far, the call of the sky is echoing!”
Fissle, unable to overcome her shame, said something like that, and then immediately took her steps again. Indeed, as Fiesle said, after moving her steps for a while, her destination was soon visible. It wasn’t the top of the mountain, but it was a small vacant lot close to it.
The area was surrounded by trees. I was wondering how Fissle knew about this place, but immediately shook my head. Fissle was, after all, an adventurer with more experience than me. He must have been around Liyue a few times, and if not, he could have sent Oz to scout.
Because Fissle can share Oz’s perspective. As the altitude increased and the night deepened, it felt a little chilly. I took out the blanket I had prepared just in case. In addition, mats, blankets, snacks and drinks.
If I had an astronomical telescope, it would have been great. Unfortunately, it seemed that the continent of Tivat did not yet have equivalent technology. If not, even if it exists, I don’t know about it. I heard that even cameras were made in a country called ‘Fontaine’, so I thought I should stop by there if I needed to inquire.
Fissle seemed excited by the unique atmosphere. The night sky was something he looked at every time he went camping, but Fissle felt that today’s night sky was even more special. Come to think of it, she rarely climbed a mountain to look at the night sky.
Because the Tivat continent was not the Republic of Korea in the 21st century. I could see the moon and stars wherever I went, so I never had to climb a mountain to see the night sky. However, in order to properly see the night sky in a city like Liyue, where the night never goes out, it was necessary to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
I looked at Piseul looking up at the night sky with excitement for a moment, then laid down a mat and prepared a seat. Now that I think about it, there was only one blanket.
After thinking for a moment, I called Fissle.
“Fissle.”
Fisle’s eyes turned to me at my soft call. Those eyes asked me why I was called, but I was really bothered by Fissle’s revealing outfit. Aren’t your shoulders exposed?
Of course, the rest of it was covered with mesh, but it didn’t seem thick enough to keep you from feeling cold in this weather. I asked her.
“…… “Isn’t it cold?”
Fissle tilted her head at my worried voice. Her mouth opened.
“No, not really…” ….”
“You handle the cold better than you think. “Thank you, Siwoo, for your consideration in advance.”
However, as she was about to answer something, Fissle was soon left speechless by Oz’s words attacking her. Oz, who intercepted her answer before her Fissle could say anything, struck her with his wing and pushed her away. Fissle came to my side in her awkward posture.
It was an obvious action, but seeing Oz’s sincerity, I decided not to say anything. People who possess the ‘eyes of God’ seem to be more resistant to cold and heat. With that idea in mind, I stretched out her right arm.

Then the blanket draped over the shoulders was spread out, creating space. Fissul had an expression of ‘Oops’ and her face blushed a little.
“Well, then, excuse me…” ….”
Fissle hesitated and then immediately snuggled into the seat next to me. As they covered her with the blanket, their bodies naturally came into close contact. A warm feeling was conveyed. Fissle’s body was a little stiff. Is she nervous?
I looked up at the sky in silence. The night sky is close. That feeling could only be felt when climbing a mountain without any lights.
Literally, a beautiful sight as if the stars were about to fall down at any moment.
People born in the city and dying in the city were an unknown scene. I sometimes found solace by looking at the night sky of the Tivat continent. Still, there were some things about the Tivat continent that were better.
There was silence for a while. Fissle, who was wary of even breathing at first, gradually became immersed in the night sky as time passed. Before she knew it, Oz had flapped her wings and ascended to the sky. So it seemed like she knew a little bit.
Why did Fisl ask to come and look at the night sky alone? I called the girl’s name.
“Fissle.”
Fissle’s emerald eyes turned to me. The girl’s eyes, filled with starlight, were even more beautiful than usual. If the moonlight and starlight were gathered together and crafted into brilliant green jewels, such eyes would be created. In contrast, pure white skin and golden hair.
Inadvertently, my eyes landed on the girl’s lips. The magic of the night was scary. Because the night used to turn a girl into a woman and her man into a beast.
But I soon came to my senses. Crazy guy, since the last time I mixed tongues with Mona, the reins have been loosening up more and more. It felt like the desire that had been tied down had been released. If things continued like this, I might end up on three legs, let alone two, in the near future. I had to come to my senses.
“…… “I missed you.”
Without saying anything, Fisl moved her gaze back to the night sky. She snorted, haughtily as always. Just like when we first met.
“…… “Hmph, do you finally understand the princess’ deep meaning?”
It was like that. On the day when Fissle and I met, when we left for our first trip up the mountain, we looked up at the night sky alone like this. Every time we camped, Oz would go scouting, and the two of us would talk around the campfire.
At that time, there was an innocent girl whose eyes sparkled in Norse mythology. There was a lonely girl hiding in a hard shell, and there I was, just watching from a few steps behind. Now, before we knew it, there was nothing between us, and our shoulders were touching.
I thought that there was definitely a time like that. A time when we narrowed the distance by fumbling with each other like blind people.
“…… “At that time, I always thought I was alone.”
At a time when I had no idea how much time had passed, Fissle’s mouth opened like that. I listened to her without saying anything. Before I knew it, it was already late at night. It won’t be long before dawn comes.
She had already stopped speaking in a pretentious manner. For me, it was more honest and better that way.
“I was a loner… A girl who stayed in the library all day and lived in an imaginary world. “My interests were different from other kids my age, and I felt lonely day by day.”
It was my first time hearing about Fissle’s childhood. She never imagined she would hear it, much less in such a quiet atmosphere. I turned my gaze to the girl. The girl had a surprisingly innocent face. It was a calm attitude.
“So she was bluffing. As if nothing had happened, I hated the lonely girl who was crying in the library. I did… “She met some guy.”
The confession, which continued calmly, soon led to me. The girl’s eyes captured me once again. Those eyes, which must have contained the night sky, were sparkling like a green lake.
“I wondered what kind of kid could be so pretentious.”
“…… Hmm, talking to my in-laws. “They make fun of every subject when they are weak.”
Our two voices naturally exchanged. The girl, who had been acting a little gloomy, soon relaxed her expression. Her gaze was calm.
“But it was still good… “I felt like I had someone who cared about me for the first time.”
I felt a little embarrassed saying that. Feeling embarrassed for no reason, I cleared my throat.
“Well, do you see a kid as a kid or something?”
“Yes, that’s right. So it was good at first… “I don’t like it anymore.”
Then the girl’s voice suddenly changed. A voice full of bravado and arrogance. But her gaze was focused on my eyes. I felt like those eyes looking at me were like an anchor on my heart. Her gaze did not move.
“My servant… As the Book of Prophecy predicted long ago, the princess’ fate was stranded in the wasteland, but sometimes the world allows the faithful to make prophecies come true.”
The girl and Fissul are mixed up. I smiled as if I couldn’t stop him. In the end, she couldn’t abandon either one. The girl who stays in the library and cries, and the pretentious Fissle. Because everything about her was her.
“You told me. So, I won’t deny it anymore. I’m still a little embarrassed…….”
At the same time, Fisl slightly avoided her gaze. She got into the mood and spoke her truth, but she seemed embarrassed because she said too much. I eventually let out a light laugh.
“Did you call me to say that?”
“…… “Because we may no longer have a chance to see the night sky alone.”
I looked at Fissle with her face filled with mixed emotions. She was honored, proud, and grateful.
There was no proof that he cherished his memories with me as much as the fact that he chose a day to look at the night sky with just the two of us.
Now dawn was slowly breaking in the sky. As I was talking with Fissle, I didn’t even notice how time passed. Just before I threw her words at Fissle.
“And, again.”
Piseul suddenly interrupted my voice. The girl got closer. The girl’s face, bathed in her first light at dawn, had a different charm from that of the night. In the dim light, her emerald eyes drew attention with a gentle light.
Golden hair gently accepts the wet light. Now, there were no obstacles between her and me. I inadvertently stopped breathing.
The girl looked like a woman. It shouldn’t be like this.
“…… Actually, I decided to be honest just for today. “If you don’t, you will continue to be a ‘little boy.’”
What are you talking about? I was about to purse my lips.
The girl’s eyes were closed. That fact suddenly stood out in my thoughts like a spotlight. The next thing I feel is a sweet scent, soft skin, and even breath mixing together. There was nothing between the girl and me now. Even the streets.
Our lips touched. Maybe it was because I stayed up all night, but it felt like I was dreaming. No, it might actually have been a dream. It was a feeling that passed so quickly. When I realized it, a tickling sensation had passed through my spinal cord. The girl’s face slowly moved away along with the sweet sensation.
Fisle’s face was a little red. Her flushed face looked even more beautiful against the cold wind of dawn.
A kiss, that must have been the greatest courage a girl could muster.
When I was confused and tried to open her mouth, the girl’s index finger touched my lips. The girl was smiling mischievously.
“…… “Starting tomorrow, it’s going to be peachy again.”
I looked at her blankly, at a loss for words. Fissle pulled herself to her feet and started walking down her mountain without looking back. Her reddened ears stood out as she ran away. Fiseul also seemed very embarrassed.
Oz suddenly appeared and followed Fissle. The light of dawn was seeping into the vacant lot. Left alone, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
I got up without knowing what to do or anything like that. Then he looked up at the sky, scratched his head, and eventually sighed.
“…… Driving me crazy.”
I felt like I was going to turn around. It wasn’t because it was unpleasant. Rather, it was the opposite.
It was good. So much so that at the moment when Fissle and her lips met, nothing came to mind except the girl in front of me. That feeling was still lodged in my mind. Annoyingly clear, so undeniable.
At best, to a kid who hasn’t even grown up.
“You’ve gone a long way, Baek Si-woo… ….”
In the past, minors were not even treated, but after coming to the Tivat continent, I felt like I was becoming more and more dangerous. I sighed and scratched my head. Then I looked up at the sky.
Now the moon and stars were fading into a dull glow. A pale purple dawn was dawning. But I will remember the memories of tonight as the night sky.
Yes, it feels like I got my first kiss from the girl I love.
It was sweeter than I expected. So much so that I don’t know how to deal with Fissle in the future.
