Jams couldn't help but pinch Klee's pouting face when he saw her sulking at him.
Before, he could only admire her through the screen, but now he could finally touch her in person.
To say or not to say, the feeling of this little face is truly amazing!
"Um, Jams, no touching Klee!"
Klee complained, but her body still moved closer to Jams honestly.
"You..."
When Jean, the Captain of the Knights, saw this scene, her amethyst-colored eyes softened gradually, and she smiled without saying a word.
It's a good thing that Klee could make friends with Jams. After all, Jams seemed reliable.
After teasing Klee for a while, Jams got up and approached Captain Jean, nodding to her.
"Captain Jean, I'm going fishing outside the city later. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Captain Jean was taken aback by his words, and a look of concern appeared in her eyes. "Are you sure you're okay? Do you want to rest a bit more?"
"Don't worry, I was just momentarily stunned by the shockwave of the explosion. It's just a minor concussion, nothing to worry about."
Jams lifted his arm, revealing his well-defined biceps, and smiled.
"Chuckle~"
Including Jean, the members of the Knights laughed at Jams' actions, and their gazes toward him became friendlier.
Jean nodded with a smile and handed a badge to Jams, instructing him, "This is the Windblume Knight's pass. If you need anything, feel free to find me. I'll take responsibility for the harm Klee caused to you."
"Alright."
Jams didn't refuse and accepted the badge, nodding to everyone before turning to leave.
"Jams, where are you going?"
Klee watched Jams' receding figure with her golden eyes filled with reluctance.
"I'm going fishing at Fruit Wine Lake."
Jams wanted to test the functionality of the Divine Fishing System as soon as possible. If fishing could really provide attribute bonuses, his future would be limitless!
Maybe he accidentally stood on the shoulders of the Seven Archons. Hey, just thinking about it made him a little excited.
Klee hugged Jean's leg. "Can Klee go fishing with Jams? Klee promises not to cause trouble. Captain Jean, please!"
"That depends on whether Jams is willing or not."
"Jams!"
Klee's petite body turned into a red stream of light and pounced directly on Jams' back, hugging his neck tightly like a little koala.
"Jams, would you like to take Klee fishing?"
Klee took out a "Red Apple" from her backpack, radiating terrifying Pyro energy, and smiled innocently.
"..."
Jams looked at the "Red Apple" that could potentially blow up half of Mondstadt at any moment and twitched his lips slightly. He turned to Jean and beckoned, "Captain Jean, trust me with Klee."
After saying that, Jams carried Klee on his back and walked away.
"Well, take care."
Jean raised her hand and held her chin, watching Jams leave.
For some reason, she felt that Jams' figure seemed somewhat heroic, with a touch of the feeling of never returning.
...
Outside the city, Jams found his fishing gear that he had left behind and let out a sigh of relief.
It must be said that the security of Mondstadt City is really good. Although it hasn't reached the level of never locking doors at night, it already has the demeanor of a place where lost items are not abandoned.
But it may also be because of the influence of the carefree and lazy Venti. Even if there were treasures on the ground, people would be too lazy to pick them up because they found it troublesome.
"Jams, are we going to fish here?"
Klee pointed to a large hole by the lake and said in a sweet voice, "Look, it's thanks to my bouncing bombs!"
"From now on, throwing bombs into the water is prohibited. Blasting fish is heresy!"
Jams rubbed Klee's small head and led her to another secluded lakeside, set up a parasol, and arranged small stools.
Prepare the bait, cast the line, put on a safety helmet.
All done in one go.
Klee, sitting on the small stool, blinked her eyes curiously and asked, "Jams, why do you wear a safety helmet while fishing?"
Jams glanced at Klee's backpack full of bombs and replied impatiently, "Who goes fishing without wearing a safety helmet?"
"Oh."
Klee lightly responded, then moved her stool closer to Jams and leaned against him, covering her mouth as she yawned.
"..."
Jams looked at Klee, who was already starting to doze off, smiled, and focused his attention back on the float on the lake surface, eagerly awaiting a fish to bite.
One minute.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes...
Just as Klee was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard Jams' excited shout.
"It's here! Klee, I've caught a fish... The strength... It's definitely a big one!"
"Um, really? Jams, you're amazing."
Klee rubbed her eyes, her face showing signs of indifference.
However, Jams didn't let her go and handed a fishing net to Klee, instructing her, "When the fish approach the shore, use the net to catch them."
"Uh..."
Klee held the net, which was taller than herself, with a strange expression.
Making such a cute little girl like her catch fish for you! Big brother, are you really not a devil?
"Tsk, what are you standing there for? Hurry up!"
Jams not only showed no mercy or tenderness, but also seemed a little impatient. Stop fooling around and come fishing with me. You can't just laze around!
"Um, I got it."
Klee wrinkled her little nose. She had figured it out. Once Jams picked up the fishing rod, he entered a state of having no regard for women.
Whether it's a sexy mature woman or a cute little girl, they are all tools for catching fish!
Having realized this reality, Klee no longer complained. She picked up the net and ran to the lakeside to start catching fish.
It must be said that catching fish is quite a skill.
The black bass, nearly half a meter long, struggled and thrashed in the water.
Splashes of water fell on Klee, making her soft golden hair instantly wet, and her delicate little dress clung to her fair and tender skin, looking quite disheveled.
"Wow! How fun!"
Klee was not startled but delighted by getting wet. This... is so much fun!
It's midsummer now, and the hot weather makes the water splashed on her body feel cool and comfortable.
Klee had wanted to play like this for a long time, but the serious-minded Jean, the leader of the group, never gave her a chance to have wild fun. Today, her wish finally came true!
Who knew fishing could be so interesting!?
"Jams, why don't we skip the net and let Klee jump into the lake to play with the fish..."
"Follow my orders! Hurry up, it's a great opportunity, catch it!"
"Alright!"
Klee narrowed her eyes, lifted the net, and made a strong effort to scoop!
Despite her petite appearance, she had unexpectedly strong strength and directly scooped up a black bass nearly half a meter long!
Splash!
Under the bright sunshine, water splashed everywhere. The little girl, Klee, raised the fishing net high, emitting a pleasant laughter like silver bells.
"It seems like she's having a great time."
Jams smiled with satisfaction. The Fishing God's teaching gained another devout follower.
