Menma and Hashirama, what happened in Teyvat

"But come to think of it, it seems that we can only let them appear in this form." After controlling the phantoms of the young Tobirama and the young Madara to walk next to the phantom of the young Obito, Hashirama said to Mina, "It's as if... we haven't completely unlocked their power yet."

"That's right, and it's not just their power, but also the part that has merged into our bodies." Menma nodded, "Except for your cells in my body, of course. After all, they are only enhanced by this resonance."

"Except that my chakra volume has increased a bit and my proficiency in fire and water jutsu has improved a little bit, I don't feel any additional benefits to myself." Hashirama sighed, patted the shoulders of the two phantoms helplessly and said, "I can feel that the bulk of the two new powers I have received are still in their bodies."

"Me too." Menma put his hand on his chin and thought, "However, they are dependent on our chakra and consciousness after all, so naturally they are also integrated with us. Maybe in the future, when all their powers are unlocked, they will be synchronized with us."

"I hope so." Hashirama took the initiative to end the topic. "Anyway, there's no point in thinking about this right now. After all, the power hasn't been unlocked yet. Even if it can be integrated now, it won't provide much help."

"Yeah, instead of thinking so much useless things..." Menma's tone was quite normal at the beginning, but the second half suddenly became cold and terrifying, "It's better to clean up the little mice hiding around first."

"Eh?" Hashirama was confused, not knowing what was going on with Menma.

Menma did not immediately explain to Hashirama, but suddenly disappeared from the spot. Hashirama followed the movement of Menma's breath and found that behind the bushes nearby, Menma was grabbing the neck of a debt collector and lifted him up from the bushes.

"You are so brave that you even dare to spy on us." Not leaving any chance for the debt collector, Menma opened his scarlet right eye and said, "Tell me, who sent you here?"

The interrogation ended quickly. After all, under the terrifying power of the Sharingan, the debt collector's spirit could not even last half a second before it completely collapsed and he honestly confessed everything about himself.

After breaking the cervical vertebrae of the now useless debt collector, Menma dragged his body towards Hashirama.

"How is it?" Hashirama asked quickly.

"What else can we do?" Menma glanced at Hashirama. "It's exactly as I expected. This fellow is a lackey of the "Doctor". Of course, the "Doctor" he is talking about is definitely not his real body."

""PhD"?"

"He's the second Fatui executive who demolished your cabin last time I told you about." Menma shrugged, "He's just a research geek like Orochimaru."

"Oh..." Hashirama nodded to show that he remembered, and then he asked, "So who is more difficult to deal with, him or Orochimaru?"

"Please, don't insult Orochimaru, okay?" Although he knew that Hashirama had no idea what a "doctor" was, Menma couldn't help but want to say, "A fool who calls himself a "scholar", a self-righteous man who wants to pursue so-called "results", how can he be compared with Orochimaru?"

"Hearing you say that, I can understand what his situation is..."

"Although these words actually incorporate a lot of my subjective emotions, if you really meet him you'd better be a little careful, but I still won't change my opinion." Menma said with extreme contempt, "Heh, if you want to rashly touch and master a power that is not within his reach... Even if he has thousands of lives, it is far from enough for him to cause harm."

"I don't have any opinion on this." Hashirama scratched his head, "But I still want to settle the score with him for demolishing my house."

"When the time comes, just beat him to death." Menma said, "Anyway, his life is worthless to him, and it is even less so to us."

"……walk slowly."

So the two of them practiced ninjutsu here for a while, manipulating the spirits behind them, and then planned to go back to the city to sleep.

"By the way, what are you going to do about Diluk and Jean?" After Menma burned the debt collector's body with a blaze of fire, Hashirama suddenly asked him.

"Let's talk about it in two days." After gently performing earth escape to bury the burned body, Menma replied, "Anyway, by that time, the preliminary preparations for this matter will be almost complete."

"Ah? What...what preliminary preparations?" Hashirama was a little confused. "Why don't I know what preliminary preparations you made?"

"To be precise, it wasn't entirely my doing. After all, my involvement wasn't really needed at the beginning." Shaking his head, Menma said mysteriously, "Anyway, by that time, Diluk might have taken the initiative to discuss this with Jean."

(At this moment, Mondstadt, Diluc's house)

After leaving the task of hiding his identity to Sora, Diluk took a shortcut back to his home. After taking the mask off his face and the Zephyr Greatsword back into the Eye of God space, Diluk took out the key and opened the door of his home.

"You're back?" At this moment, Cripps, who was sitting in the living room, greeted Diluk casually when he saw him coming home, "Are you done with your work?"

"Well... it's done for now." Seeing his father's ambiguous question, Diluk gave a very normal answer. In many cases, some things don't need to be said in full.

"Okay, then come over here." Cripps had a meaningful smile on his face, "Now, it's time for us to talk about business."

"Tsk..." Diluk felt very unhappy, but he could do nothing about it. He knew exactly what the "business" his father was talking about was.

But he had no way to refuse, so he could only walk over and sit on the sofa next to his father. After all, who made him his father?

"Diluc..." As expected, when Diluc just sat down, Krips' voice surged towards Diluc like a tight hoop, "Since you and Jean have completely formed a relationship in the tavern that night, then you should hurry up and do the most important thing, right?

Since you have already made a promise, it is not a gentleman's thing to let the woman wait forever. You two both represent the face of the nobility, you must not drag on such a matter...

When I came back to this world, besides seeing you and Kaia grow up healthily, my biggest wish was to have a grandson and strengthen our Legenfind family...

Right now, the whole streets and alleys of Mondstadt are talking about the things between you and Jean, such as when you two will get married... Everyone in the city is worried about you two, and as a father, I am naturally even more worried...

Blah blah blah blah…"

The endless stream of words quickly overwhelmed Diluk, making him instantly feel miserable, as if he was saying, "I want to escape, but I can't."

"Father..." Finally, Diluk finally mustered up the courage to interrupt Cripps's eloquent speech, "I always feel that it is better to take a long-term view..."

"What do you mean by long-term consideration?" Krips was a little unhappy. "You two have already settled your affairs, and now you are telling me to have long-term consideration? What do you think of that child Jean?"

"No... No, Father, that's not what I meant." Seeing that his father seemed to have misunderstood him, Diluk was a little flustered and hurriedly explained, "Although I have indeed thought it through on this matter, I will not reject Jean's wishes again. But... Firstly, the threat to Mondstadt has not been completely resolved recently, and the people of the Abyss Cult are still ready to make a move; secondly... For such a big marriage, no matter what... Jean's family must agree..."

"Oh, so that's what you're worried about." Cripps snorted coldly, but did not refute Diluk's words.

"Right, so..." Seeing that his father didn't refute, Diluk wanted to continue. Although, he always felt that something was wrong with his father...

"But these are not a big deal." Cripps quickly interrupted what Diluk wanted to say, "You have thought about these issues, haven't I thought about them too?"

"Uh?"

"You don't need to worry about Simon and Frederica. As early as that night, I wrote them a letter and sent a courier to deliver it to them at full speed at a high price. I think we will receive their reply in two days." Krips said, "Although from what I know about them, they will definitely not refuse.

Oh, of course, there is no need to worry about whether they will doubt the authenticity of the letter. Because the messenger is someone both they and I know, and the news of my return to the human world will also be brought by the messenger.

As for the Abyss Cult, you don't have to worry, because when I noticed your little actions at night, I went to find Mr. Uzumaki."

"Mr. Uzumaki?"

“Right.” Klips nodded proudly, as if to say to Diluk, “You’re the only one who thinks you can outsmart me.” “He said he’ll help you deal with all these unstable factors in the next few days, so what you need to consider now is to hurry up and prepare for the wedding!”

"This..." Diluk was completely defeated. He had to admit that his father's combination of punches really made him a little confused, and he could only admit that his father was worthy of being a father...

"No matter what, I am doing this for you, for Jean, and for the future of the two great Mond nobles, Regenfind and Gunhild." Klips said earnestly, "The future of Mond will eventually belong to you young people and your next generation. Although I can still watch all of you grow up in this way, no matter what, I am no longer a person of this era...

Even Frederica was willing to become Jean's "subordinate" in the Knights in order to leave her future to Jean, who was her child, so I can naturally do the same. Everything in the future still needs to be left to you, and in a dozen years, you will make the same decision as us.

But the premise is that you can produce your next generation first."

"Father..." Seeing that Krips had said so many things about the long-term future, Diluk couldn't help but think about it seriously. He had to admit that although his father's words were general principles, they were indeed true. Mondstadt could still be protected by people like him and Jean, but what about in the next ten or even dozens of years?

"So..." Suddenly, Krips' words pulled Diluc out of his thoughts again, "Your first priority now is to work with Jean to get everything done, and try to let me hold my grandson as soon as possible.

Hehe, I'm still hoping that our Leggenfend family's "Dawn Knight" will appear in Mondstadt again."

Although Krips' words were reasonable, Diluk still felt that the atmosphere was ruined. Therefore, he could only avoid his father who was lost in his fantasy and hide in the distance alone, thinking about everything related to it.
