Chapter 254 The Third Guest on the Island - Manyo
Then, during dinner, everyone chatted happily and recounted their experiences in Inazuma over the past few days.
Soon, as midnight approached, everyone felt sleepy and returned to their rooms to rest.
A peaceful night quickly faded into dawn.
After a series of forceful rousings, Paimon, the epitome of sobriety, was finally awakened by the painstaking efforts of Ying.
"Paimon, it's a new day, shall we continue to greet our guests?"
"Ugh... why do I have to go through the painful process of getting up every day?!"
Amidst helpless complaints, the two continued their journey to the port.
After a while.
As soon as Ying and Paimon arrived at the port, they saw a man sitting quietly on a chair in the port.
His white hair was tied into a short braid at the back of his head, with a red highlight matching his eye color diagonally below the two ahoge (cowlicks) on top. He wore a gray samurai outfit, with only half of his outer furisode kimono on; the right half of the outer garment was tied at the waist, and the right furisode hung down his back. He wore two scarves, one black and one red, around his neck, with the Eye of God attached to them. A maple leaf was tied at his waist, and maple leaf patterns were printed on his scarves, furisode, and dark red hakama. He wore red stockings and black saddlecloths.
Looking at the unfamiliar faces, they hesitated before walking up to them.
"Uh... hello?"
"Greetings, both of you. I am a guest invited by the Rongcai Festival. I have been away from home for a long time and have come back to visit my hometown. My name is Fengyuan Manyo. You must be the guides that the Rongcai Festival organizers have mentioned?"
"Ah... hello, I'm Paimon, and she's Ying! Welcome to the Radiant Festival."
As Paimon spoke, he secretly glanced down at the note that Catherine had given him as the official response script.
"Wait a minute... I think I've seen you two somewhere else before."
After pondering for a moment, Wan Ye looked seriously at the two faces.
"I've been wandering around, and I think I saw the two of them in Liyue Harbor before. I heard from friends in the Adventurers' Guild that a blond adventurer and a white-haired flying vehicle have recently arrived, and they've raised their Adventure Rank significantly in just a few months. Their strength shouldn't be underestimated. I'm sure I haven't mistaken them for someone else, right?"
After saying that, he extended his hand to the two of them in a friendly manner.
"Haha...we're not actually that good..."
After hearing what Wan Ye said, Ying smiled shyly.
"It's fate that we met, and I'd be happy to be your friend. By the way, I heard a noise on the boat just now, but I searched for a long time and couldn't find any clues. I only found a piece of paper at my feet."
After speaking, Wanye handed the paper to the two of them.
"Although this could be someone's prank, as adventurers, you should be able to tell the difference."
Immediately, following Ying and Paimon's gaze, the contents of the paper were revealed into view.
Five Songs of Immortal Beauty: The Red-Haired Man Chapter
Our generation has long enjoyed a distinguished reputation.
The young man was full of ambition and high aspirations.
Every chant new affix Zhuyin,
Then the world will know of its beauty.
Who would have thought that last year's literary gathering...
I have actually taken the liberty of composing a poem by someone who came before me.
Deception and theft are unforgivable.
The desolate wilderness left me abandoned.
The five-colored radiance will never return.
Just like the impermanence of life.

"Last time, the poem by Aoi no Okina mentioned the Red Man at the end, and sure enough, information about the Red Man has appeared this time!"
As Ying spoke, she lowered her head and began to think.
"This story is about how the Red Man was called the Red Man because he liked red seals, but he was exiled because Thor discovered his plagiarism."
