Daily Life Continues

It was now nighttime and all the girls were asleep. They really meant it when they said they'll take care of things at home huh… They even brought sleeping bags.

Why was I up when everyone was asleep? That was because I figured I should do something. My body feels great after finally being able to move. I couldn't move for the whole freaking day. I was being careful not waking anyone up, so I warped all over the place instead of moving. Venti even brought my backpack here.

Once I was finished readying up, I decided to greet a friend first. I warped to the entrance to Stormterror's Lair and walked around for a bit. After walking for about 20 minutes, I finally found him.

"Yo, Barbatos."

"Just call me Venti would you?"

Venti was sitting on the ledge at the top of the tower while playing a tune on a lyre. I looked around but couldn't see Dvalin anywhere. I walked to him and sat beside him. I listened to his tune and when he finished, he spoke up.

"Sorry about earlier. You almost died there." he said as he looked down.

"What do you mean almost? I've been dead for 3 hours."

"What?"

I then explained to him how my soul wasn't complete and that it took 3 hours for it to be put back together. When he heard this, he jokingly said "Good thing the wind wasn't powerful,". I looked at him in mere amazement on how he can joke around my death like that. He just laughed it off so I just sighed and looked at the night sky.

It was calm and not a sound to be heard but the wind. I want to stay here for a while, but I'll get scolded again.

"Your power feels different…" said Venti.

"Hm? How so?"

"It's like it's multiplied…"

What? How can it be multiplied? Wait a second, come to think of it, I feel like I could see better. Hell, it's not just that, all my five senses got better. I also warped all over the place earlier and yet I don't feel even a bit exhausted. I also feel lighter.

"How much?" I asked since I can't really feel it myself.

"Around threefold."

"That much?!"

I was surprised at that. What could have made my power to multiply by three. Wait, three? Isn't that the same number of hours that I was dead? If so, that's a huge benefit, but this won't mean that I'll die often just for power. I don't want to experience death again after all.

After talking with Venti, I went down the tower and looked for Hilichurls to practice my new powers on. When I found a group of eight Hilichurls, I readied my sword and switched it to Pyro. Pyro was my go to element as of late due to it being incredibly powerful if I swirl it until it turns blue. And I did just that. I dashed to them without even letting them notice me.

"Whoa there."

I finished four of them in just a second. It was mostly because they weren't aware of me. I didn't expect me to be that fast. This was even better than when I used air propulsion to increase my speed. I might even get faster if I used that air propulsion technique again. I finished the remaining Hilichurls while pondering such things.

Instead of warping home, I decided to take a stroll. It was only 11 PM so it's still pretty early. I ran into a few Hilichurls here and there while walking along, but I finished them off so quickly that it wasn't even a problem. It took longer though, since they were aware of me. I'd say it took me 5 seconds to defeat four of them.

After about an hour, I was still not exhausted. Although, I decided to call it a day. I went home and slept beside Mona. Ah, so soft and warm~

---

I woke up and took a bath. Everyone is still asleep. I only slept for around 4 hours, but that's fine. When I finished taking a bath, I cooked breakfast and woke everyone up. I could have just waited for them to wake up, but I don't exactly know at what time Keqing and Ganyu will wake up. I wanted all of us to eat breakfast together.

When they all woke up, we ate breakfast and the girls took a bath. That bath may be big, but I doubt it'll be able to fit six people. And I was right, it wasn't big enough. So they decided to bathe in groups of three. Mona, Ganyu, and Keqing are first. Then next was Barbara, Amy, and Noelle.

I got ready for school first. I charged my phone overnight so I was sure it was full. Although, I think I should not do that again. It is a fire hazard after all. It was a bit awkward to change since Noelle, Amy, and Barbara were staring. Even if it was just my upper body, it was still awkward.

When the first batch finished bathing, they came out looking refreshed and told me to go out so they could get ready. Mona was fine with it since I already saw her naked, but the same cannot be said for the other two. I nodded and went out the door and just waited outside.

While waiting outside, I received a call from Amber. When I answered the call, she told me that the Abyss Order attacked the gates to Mondstadt. I was dead for 3 hours and we didn't exactly go out yesterday so we didn't know this. Apparently, Amber knew what happened to me, but just couldn't come because the Abyss Order attacked. I told her that it was fine and thanked her concern. She stuttered a little when she replied. After talking about what happened yesterday, we talked about other stuff for a while.

The girls got out just after I put down the phone. I told them that we were going to walk to school today and they all agreed. Ganyu was a bit clueless though. Thus the threat of Stormterror to Mondstadt has been solved and my life in this world continues.
