22 Side Story: The Calm Terrorist

In the Knights of Favonius Headquarters.

"Look, see?" Kaeya, The Cavalry Captain of the Ordo Favonius, whispered as he peeked from a door frame.

Next to him was Jean, the Acting Grand Master of the Ordo Favonius.

"Klee's been... Quite calm as of late, don't you think so?" Kaeya as both of them looked in a certain direction.

Sitting in front of a table outside, Klee was seen resting her head on her hand as she looked at the sky in a daze as if she was daydreaming.

"You're right... Did she run out of gunpowder?" Jean replied as she also noticed Klee's abnormality.

"I think we both know that she never runs out of gunpowder, Master Jean." Kaeya lightly scoffed. "It's more like... She's been daydreaming more than usual."

"Do you know what's causing it?" As far as everyone who knows Klee knows, she has never run out of energy. "Did all the fish in the pond she was interested in go extinct?"

"Hmm... Let's go ask." Kaeya mustered his will and walked over to Klee who was looking at the clear blue sky. "How are you doing, Klee? Hanging out by yourself?"

"Uncle Kaeya, do you think we should bomb Hilichurls out of mercy?" Klee said with her usual innocent voice.

"Huh?" Kaeya's voice froze.

"I mean, if a Hilichurl attacks you, won't it be merciful to just end them instantly so that you won't hurt them anymore?" Klee continued with a bored expression as she swung her feet.

"Klee, where did you learn those from!" Kaeya asked in shock. He had never heard the child speak of things like that before.

"Oh, I read it in a book that Sucrose and Albedo were writing." Klee truthfully said. "When I read it while drinking tea, it feels like I'm getting smarter!"

"Tea?" Kaeya asked. "Certain teas do indeed have calming effects that can be learning..."

"But Klee, when were you into Teas?" Kaeya continued to ask.

"Oh, um, it's a secret!" Klee got nervous for a second before avoiding the question. "Anyways, with the new things I've learned, I now know how to effectively blast fishes!"

Kaeya got curious. "...and that is?"

"Evaporating Cider Lake—" Before Klee could finish her words, Jean appeared and interrupted her.

"Klee. Solitary Confinement. 2 hours. Now." Jean looked at Klee.

"Wh—" Hearing her punishment, Klee didn't know what to do. "I haven't even done anything yet!"

"Yet?" Kaeya and Jean looked at each other before looking at Klee.

"...Ehe." Klee, realizing that she had given herself away, smiled.

It seems like Isaac's tea had quite an effect on the little terrorist.
