Menma and Hashirama, what happened in Teyvat

"Hey, did you hear that?"

On a street somewhere in Mondstadt, Ning Lu, who had just slipped out of a tavern, happened to run into his drinking buddy. In the mood of finding someone to chat with, he grabbed his drinking buddy and said.

"Heard? What did you hear?"

"It's about... Mr. Diluc of the Dawn Winery and Captain Jean of the Knights..."

"Oh, of course I heard about it." The drinking buddy said with a smile, "Although it may not seem obvious on the surface, in fact, this matter has been widely discussed among most people in Mondstadt."

"Oh? So fast? It seems I still haven't caught up with you guys." Ning Lu laughed at himself, and then his expression immediately changed to one that wanted to gossip, "So...what do you think about this matter?"

"What else can we do?" The drinking buddy waved his hand. "Of course I fully support this! Master Diluk and Captain Jean are such good people. It is a blessing for all of us in Mondstadt that they can be together."

"I thought so too." Ning Lu nodded approvingly, "Oh, these two big figures in Mond..."

"I just don't know when their wedding will be held. We must go and support them then." Ning Lu was stunned by his drinking buddy's next words.

"W…what? A wedding?!"

"What are you surprised about?" The drinking buddy turned around and looked at Ning Lu strangely, "Didn't they say that the two of them were going to get married soon?"

"No, no... What I heard was that they just started dating."

"Hey, the information you have is really too behind the times." The drinking buddy patted Ning Lu on the shoulder. "You should know that I have heard this information from several Knights of Favonius. That night, the tavern heard that Master Diluc's father encouraged Captain Jean, saying that he wanted her to capture her son."

“Ah? Master Diluc’s father… Mr. Cripps, did he really say that?”

"It is absolutely true!" said the drinking buddy. "At least, that's what the Knights of Favonius who talked to me about it said."

"Since that's what you said... then it seems to be true." Ning Lu nodded, "You're right, my information is indeed too outdated..."

……

While Ning Lu and his drinking buddies were discussing, similar things were happening all over Mondstadt. Eury, who was out shopping, was talking to Margaret, who was walking outside. The new adventurer Jack was dragged by Stanley to talk about everything when he went to visit Stanley. The Knight of Favonius Harry, who was patrolling near the Lookout Mountain, was pulled back to the city to change shifts and rest when he was stopped by Lawrence and Swann, who were standing guard at the gate, and told him...

Although the locations, characters and times are different, they are all talking about the same thing -

Master Diluk and Captain Jean are actually together.

Although...the content ranges in level from high to low, from ordinary to outrageous.

On one hand, it was said that Master Diluk and Jean seemed to have a good impression of each other, and on the other hand, it was said that they had already confirmed their boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. What's more, even "the two of them have actually been together for a long time, but they were unable to announce it because Mondstadt had been suffering from dragon disasters for some time. Now that Mondstadt is at peace, they are also planning to get married." This is a very explosive statement.

Naturally, other people involved in this matter were also ridiculed and even spread rumors: some said that the relationship between the two was arranged by Cripps; some said that Kaeya was the matchmaker between the two of them; and others said that all of this was instigated by Mr. Uzumaki and Mr. Senju, the two great benefactors of Mond.

Although...these words are not entirely wrong.

……

……

……

Five days have passed since that banquet.

During these five days, the lives of everyone involved in this incident did not seem to have changed much, including the protagonists Diluk and Qin.

After all, the acting leader still has a lot of work to do. As the owner of the winery and the so-called "night hero", Diluk is also entangled in various affairs, especially at night. Therefore, even if they want to spend more time together, they have to wait until they are not so busy.

The others were living peaceful lives, and things were still going on as they had been before. However, as more and more people in Mondstadt knew about this and talked about it, the content of their discussions became more and more outrageous, so they naturally had to come forward to explain.

But...whether this explanation will resolve the matter or make it even more outrageous is not something we can know.

……

However, among them, there were three people who never received any news.

And these three people are Menma, Hashirama, and Wendy.

Since Wendy was just a bard at the time, his presence was not strong; Hashirama had been sent back to the inn due to coma a long time ago and did not attend the party; as for Menma, although many people talked about him, as he had not appeared in the public eye for some time, naturally less things about him were mentioned.

But no one would have thought that these three people were actually in the same place at this moment——

In the room where the wind is blowing and the two are embracing each other.

That day, after the banquet was successfully concluded, Menma said goodbye to everyone and left the tavern. However, he was supported by Wendy when he left.

Although Menma used the excuse of "drinking too much" to cover up the fact that he could not even stand steadily, only he himself knew that it was actually because of the strange chakra that his body could no longer hold on.

Wendy naturally noticed this, so even though he drank a lot of wine at the banquet, he secretly used his divine power to dispel his drunkenness at the end of the banquet so that he could help Menma before leaving.

With the help of Wendy, he returned to the hotel room and returned to his bed. At this moment, Hashirama was still lying unconscious on his bed, and Menma knew that he would soon become the same state as Hashirama.

This chakra...I really can't suppress it...

"Wendy." While he was still somewhat conscious, Menma gently pulled Wendy back, "Although I'm very grateful that you sent me back, but now... I still want to ask you for one more favor..."

"Go ahead." Wendy nodded without hesitation, "I'll do my best to agree to your request."

"Next, I don't know how many days Hashirama and I will sleep like this..." Menma's voice began to become weaker and weaker. "Only after we have completely assimilated this new power, I think we will be able to wake up. During this time, I'll ask you to take care of the two of us."

"Take care?" Wendy hesitated. "Although this is not a problem, but...what should I do?"

"You just need to guard this place and don't let anyone in until we wake up." When he said this, Menma slowly closed his eyes, "Please... after we wake up, I will treat you... to a drink..."

After finally saying this last sentence, Menma could no longer bear the pressure and fell heavily on the bed.

"..." Looking at the unconscious Menma, Wendy showed a smile on her face, "I didn't expect that it would be your turn to ask me for help this time... Don't worry, Mr. Uzumaki, even if it's not for the wine, I will do my best to help you.

After all, you are the people I like the most..."

"Then I would like to thank you on behalf of our masters." Suddenly, a strange voice came from the side, which made Wendy stunned.

"who is it?!"

"Don't be nervous, Master Wind God." At this moment, a white head with green hair emerged from the ground, looked at Wendy and said, "I'm sorry, for various reasons I have never appeared in front of you, so it's normal that you don't recognize me."

"You... who are you?" Wendy asked in confusion, looking at the pale humanoid creature in front of her that was gradually emerging from the ground.

"Nice to meet you. You can just call me Zetsu." After his entire body emerged from the ground and stood up, Zetsu politely greeted Wendy, "Lord Menma and Lord Hashirama are my masters and creators. Before the banquet, Lord Menma had already asked me to return here to take care of them and wait for your orders."

"Eh? Me?" After hearing Jue's last words, Wendy pointed at herself with a confused look on her face.

"Yes, this is the master's order." Jue nodded, "If there is anything you need to do, you can let me do it for you, as long as I can do it."

"Is... is that so..." Wendy suddenly realized - it turned out that Mr. Uzumaki had left one of his own as a servant in advance in case of emergency, and this servant could temporarily obey his orders.

As for doubting Jue's identity, Wendy had never thought about it. After all, although it was the first time for her to meet Jue, the rich and familiar chakra aura on its body could not be faked at all, and this was the best proof of its identity.

When summoning Blaze's soul before, Menma had used chakra to restore Wendy's condition in order to prevent him from losing strength. Since then, Wendy has truly come into contact with and felt the energy system of "chakra", so it is impossible for him to mistake the unique aura of this energy.

"Oh, right!" When Wendy thought of Brize, she immediately realized that she still had things to do. "Can I trouble you with something now, uh... Jue?"

"Of course." Jue agreed straightforwardly, "Just give me your orders."

"Can you help me find someone in the city?" Wendy said, "He has the same face as me, but there are some cracks on his face, and most of his eyes are dark gray. He is wearing a relatively simple cloth, and his location is probably southwest of here..."

"A person who has been reincarnated from the Impure World Reincarnation?" Before Wendy could finish, Zetsu nodded, "Then he should also have the aura of chakra. In other words, we just need to find a person who has been reincarnated from the Impure World Reincarnation who looks like you."

After saying that, Jue used the Mayfly Technique again to quickly sneak into the underground, left a sentence "Just wait for my news here, Lord Wind God" and left.

"Uh..." Wendy opened her mouth but couldn't say anything after watching Jue disappear. It seems that this guy called Jue has a very strong execution ability, and his ability seems to be very strange...

But forget it, since it is a subordinate of Mr. Uzumaki and Mr. Senju, then it can be considered one of their own and he doesn't need to pursue this point too much.

So, Wendy found a chair in the room and sat down, watching over Menma and Hashirama while waiting for news from Zetsu. But suddenly, he remembered something and immediately felt very regretful:

[It seems that we will pass by several taverns in that direction... Ahhh, why didn't I tell it first and let it bring back a few bottles of wine?! ]

(Knights' Headquarters, Leader's Office)

"That's pretty much it."

After handing the document to Lisa standing beside her, Qin stretched out her body as if relieved of a heavy burden, slightly relaxing her body that felt a little numb from sitting for a long time. It was because Lisa, her best friend, was the only one around her, otherwise Qin would never show such a relaxed side.
