My Next Life in Teyvat: I Just Wanted Friends, Not Every Girl's Love!-Chapter 206 - 205 Didn’t she see the other crew members’ eyes nearly pop out when they saw her carrying a box in each hand?

Chapter 206: Chapter 205 Didn’t she see the other crew members’ eyes nearly pop out when they saw her carrying a box in each hand?

Well, Lumine rarely refused commissions with a Reward. Miss Durandal even suspected that if the Reward was generous enough, Lumine would resolutely rush to Celestia, even if the task was to defeat the Heavenly Principles.

But was it necessary for her to make Shenhe help too? And make her carry such heavy boxes that required two crew members to lift.

Didn’t she see the other crew members’ eyes nearly pop out when they saw her carrying a box in each hand? They probably didn’t expect Shenhe’s slender body to possess such terrifying strength.

While Miss Durandal and Lumine were chatting, Miss Durandal noticed someone constantly observing her—the tall woman beside them, directing the sailors.

Seeing that Miss Durandal had noticed her gaze, the other party didn’t hide, but walked directly over and greeted Miss Durandal.

"Hello there, I’ve heard much about you and have long wanted to meet you. You must be the Miss Durandal Ningguang mentioned, right?"

"Ningguang? You must be Beidou then."

To be able to address Ningguang so directly, perhaps only Beidou dared to do so in all of Liyue Harbor.

She was a very beautiful person, indeed worthy of her status as Ningguang’s friend in terms of appearance. Her strength should also be considerable; there were rumors of her cleaving sea monsters.

"That’s right, I am. Beidou, captain of the Alcor. It truly flatters me that you remember my name."

"Flattered... Your relationship with Ningguang is truly good; she even told you about this."

From Beidou’s reaction, it was clear that Ningguang had told her about Miss Durandal, and she must know her identity as a God.

This was a very important secret that ordinary people absolutely couldn’t reveal, yet Ningguang revealed it to Beidou. This showed how close their relationship was, and their usual antics of tricking each other were just friendly banter.

In response to Miss Durandal’s words, Beidou merely gave a hearty laugh, took a swig from the wine gourd hanging at her waist, and let out a refreshing "Ha!".

"That guy... the one who always has the same expression no matter who he faces, when he talks about you, his expression is always different, which makes me very curious, extremely curious."

At the time, she asked Ningguang the reason for her behavior. Ningguang seemed to be worried about something and wasn’t ready to reveal too much, but Beidou threatened her, saying that if she didn’t tell her, she would go ask herself.

Worried that Beidou would do something irrational, Ningguang could only tell Beidou about Durandal’s identity and signaled her not to act recklessly. Even if Durandal had a good temper, it had its limits. Once a red line was crossed, even the Seven Gods couldn’t save her.

"I heard from her about the things you’ve done. I didn’t expect so much to have happened while I was away from Liyue Harbor. It’s a bit of a shame."

"Let’s just forget about it, Big Sister Beidou. The God of Vortex has revived. According to the rumors the brothers heard, the God of Vortex can easily stir up huge tsunamis. If the Alcor had still been in the waters near Liyue at that time, it would probably have sunk like other ships."

"Nonsense! The Alcor is not something other ships can compare to! Besides, are you looking down on the brothers on board, looking down on me?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

She was a person with rich sailing experience. Even if huge waves appeared, she was confident she could safely endure them. Even if the huge waves exceeded what the ship could handle, she would not give up. She would try to use the greatsword in her hand to cut open a path, seeking a glimmer of hope for the Alcor.

Kaedehara Kazuha shrugged. Since even Big Sister Beidou said so, what could he, a temporary crew member, do?

He hadn’t even mentioned the God who, according to rumors, helped Liyue defeat Osial. Even if that God was as kind as the common folk said, the battle between two behemoths at sea would definitely cause a significant commotion.

Would the Alcor, which chose to watch at close range at that time, really escape unscathed? At that point, everyone would probably have to jump ship and flee, and Beidou would only be able to order a brand new Alcor from the shipyard.

Getting back to the main topic, the reason Beidou observed Durandal so closely, besides wanting to see her usual situation, was also to try and make friends.

But getting to know Durandal wasn’t a simple matter. At the very least, there needed to be some interaction like with Kaedehara Kazuha to even consider it. If you just went up and tried to make friends, it might work for ordinary people, but Durandal wouldn’t humor you.

Well, although it was a bit regrettable, this was within Beidou’s expectations. She didn’t give up; there would definitely be more opportunities to interact in the future, and then they could slowly become friends.

Next, while Lumine and Shenhe were helping, Durandal was with Paimon.

Bored, Durandal demonstrated the skill she had just learned, and Paimon clapped her hands in delight.

Beidou also noticed. She knew at a glance that Durandal had learned it from Kaedehara Kazuha. No wonder she felt Durandal’s attitude towards Kaedehara Kazuha was better than towards herself. So that was it.

It just seemed she didn’t have any talent that could pique Durandal’s interest. Her combat power was vulnerable in front of Durandal, and her drinking prowess wasn’t something Durandal would care for. The only other thing she could offer was probably her sailing knowledge.

But did she need it?

Thinking of this, Beidou looked at Kaedehara Kazuha with a full-blown grudge, leaving him utterly confused, wondering how he had offended her.
