Genshin Impact: This fireplace house is your graveyard.

Chapter 52 is a peerless musical instrument.

It was now evening, and beautiful music filled Qiuhe's room. The three little ones, Claire, Lily, and Peruvier, were all resting their chins on their hands, nestled beside Qiuhe's bed.

She blinked as she watched Qiuhe sitting in the chair. Qiuhe held a pipa in his hands, his fingers dancing lightly on the instrument, playing beautiful and melodious notes.

“Pepe, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Leyi play a musical instrument before. And what is that thing in his hand? I’ve never seen it before.”

"I don't know either, but it does sound really nice," Peruvieri replied softly.

Qiuhe was completely absorbed in his own musical world, utterly captivated. Although he had no idea what he was playing, he kept his eyes closed, enjoying every melody as if he had become one with the music.

However, he himself didn't seem to realize that he possessed such a hidden skill. Perhaps he learned it sometime on Earth, but later forgot about it.

As the last note faded, the room fell silent. Claire blinked her large eyes, turned to Lily beside her, and whispered:

"Has Ley finished playing?" Lily pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I think so." Finally, Claire turned around, flashed a bright smile, clapped her hands enthusiastically, and shouted:

"Yay! Leyi played so beautifully!" Her voice broke the silence, and the other two joined in with applause. Qiuhe was overjoyed.

The thought that he had created such a magnificent musical instrument in just two days, even though he had absolutely no idea why he had made such a thing, was quite something.

But I was still very emotional, and I had already made a complete plan for Funina's birthday tomorrow.

I could easily get up early and go to Momang Palace to prepare some delicious breakfast and cakes for Funina, and then give her this gift. Wouldn't that be perfect?

After all, breakfast should always be eaten at home.

Thinking of this, Qiuhe smiled slightly.

He stood up, flexed his fingers, and sighed softly, "Ah, the night is so enchanting. If my three lovely and beautiful best friends could accompany me to admire the moon under the stars after a beautiful night, how wonderful that would be."

After saying that, Akikawa turned to look at Clementine, Lily, and Peruvier with a sneer.

Clementine and Lily instantly understood. They quickly jumped out of bed and excitedly shouted, "Yay! Let's go out and admire the moon!"

The two then quickly turned their attention to Peruvier, who was still lying down beside them.

Peruvier blinked, seemingly understanding what the two meant, and then added, "Yay!"

And so, the four of them walked out of the fireplace house together. The night air was fresh and pleasant, and the moonlight shone on the ground, illuminating their path.

Clementine was also chasing after the fireflies along the way, while Akikawa and Lily Peruvieri followed slowly behind. Lily then asked about the musical instrument they had just heard about:

"Leyi, what's that instrument you took out of the house? We don't think we've ever seen it before, and it sounds so nice."

"That instrument is called a pipa. It's an instrument from Mondstadt. My father played it for me when I was a child, and he later taught me how to make it. I really like this instrument."

"Oh, I see. Then why did you wrap the instrument up? Was it to keep it from getting dusty?"

"No, tomorrow is the Water God's birthday, and that pipa was a gift I made for him."

Upon hearing this information, Lily, who was standing next to her, was still in shock when she finally did. "Qiuhe, you know the Water God!"

"Well, just ordinary friends," she said. Even Peruvier, standing nearby, was somewhat surprised, since none of them knew that Akikawa and the Water God were friends.

"Pepe, what are you talking about?" Clementine ran back and took Peruvier's arm. Lily answered in surprise, "Clementine, Lei is actually friends with the Water God!"

Like Lily at first, Clementine didn't react when she first heard it, but when she did, her reaction was even stronger than Lily's: "What!"

Qiuhe finally recounted his encounter with the Water God to the three of them, but of course, he didn't reveal the Water God's true identity or the prophecy of Fontaine. "My God, unbelievable!"

Claire's eyes sparkled as she took Qiuhe's hand. "Leyi, take me with you tomorrow, okay? I really want to see the Water God. I don't think I've ever seen him before. I've only heard that he's the brightest star in Fontainebleau."

Qiuhe finally agreed with a smile, thinking that everyone would be celebrating the Water God's birthday the next day. In the end, everyone lay down on the lawn, gazing at the stars. Looking at the beautiful sky, Claire couldn't help but sigh:

"The sky is so beautiful, Leyi. Do you know that I heard the aurora borealis at the winter solstice is incredibly beautiful, like a bridge of colorful clouds built by fairies in the sky? When we grow up, we'll..."

Before Clementine could finish speaking, Akikawa covered her mouth with a finger. "Uh, in such a sweet moment, you shouldn't make such a bold statement. I'm really scared."

Claire, on the other hand, didn't understand at all and didn't know what the flag meant. The four of them lay around on the lawn, quietly enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.

Gazing at the bright moon in the sky, they felt the beauty of nature. At that moment, all their worries were left behind, leaving only inner peace and tranquility.

"It would be wonderful if we could spend the night outside, looking at the beautiful sky and falling asleep under the stars. It would be absolutely wonderful."

Upon hearing Claire's words, Akikawa responded, "It's not difficult at all." The three of them, intrigued by Akikawa's explanation, also felt a sense of curiosity.

Finally, Qiuhe told the three of them to wait there for a while, and then she ran back to the fireplace house. After waiting for a long time, the three of them saw Qiuhe come back with a few pieces of cloth and sticks.

Clementine and Peruvier didn't understand what Akikawa was doing, but after watching him unfold the cloth piece by piece and stick the sticks into the ground, everyone realized that Akikawa was setting up a tent.

"Now we can enjoy camping too!" The three of them looked at the large tent, their eyes filled with excitement. Except for Peruvieri, who couldn't see anything else but mushrooms in her eyes.

"Oh my god, I've never slept in a tent before! Pepe, let's go inside and take a look!" Claire said, taking Peruvieri and Lily's hands and leading them into the tent. Inside, the tent was fully equipped with everything imaginable.

Three blankets and several cushions. "Wow~," Claire jumped onto the blankets and rolled around in the tent. "Akikawa is amazing! He can play music and even set up a tent!"

The tent has a transparent cloth on top, so everyone inside can see the starry sky outside. Qiuhe learned how to pitch a tent because he had camped outside with Yura and Amber in Mondstadt.

Looking at the size of the tent, he smiled with satisfaction, then a cushion was thrown at him, hitting Qiuhe in the face.

"Hey, Qiuhe, let's have a pillow fight!" After a burst of laughter, everyone got tired and fell asleep. In the middle of the night, Qiuhe was woken up by the urge to pee.

He slowly walked out of the tent, intending to take care of something, but then he heard a strange sound not far away. Qiuhe walked towards the mountainside.

Lying prone beside the stone wall, I saw an ice servant lurking around furtively. "What's this guy doing?" After looking around and finding no one, the ice servant conjured a block of solid ice from his hand and instantly smashed a hole in the ground.

He then pulled a bottle from his waist, slowly placed it into the hole, filled it up, and walked away. Qiuhe slowly walked over, dug open the hole, and found a bottle of Lay's soda with a note on top.

(Sagat, tomorrow is the Fontainebleau Water Purification Festival. Don't forget, we'll meet in Fontainebleau. Bring our things, and don't cause any trouble, otherwise...)

Looking at the note, Qiuhe pondered for a moment, then a smile gradually crept onto his lips. "Well hidden, but it's a pity."
