Menma and Hashirama, what happened in Teyvat

Without waiting too long, the dishes on the table were all served. Seeing this, Zhongli also invited the two to taste it first and learn about the chef's skills at Wangshu Inn.

It must be said that Yan Xiao is really good at cooking. Not only has he been responsible for the meals of the Wangshu Inn from morning to night for so many years, but he also ensures that every dish he makes is delicious and tasty, without any carelessness or coercion, and strives to ensure that guests can always eat the best dishes.

Menma and Hashirama both highly praised Yanxiao's cooking skills and gave high praise to every dish served. At the same time, Menma also sighed in his heart: [As expected of a chef who always appears in "Liyue Food Collection"... After tasting Yanxiao's dishes, I realized that my previous evaluation of the dishes he cooked through the screen was a bit too conservative. ]

"How do you feel, both of you?" Zhongli asked them after picking up a piece of vegetarian abalone with chopsticks. "Although Liyue's cuisine is basically classified into two major categories, 'Liyue cuisine' and 'Yue cuisine', there are many more detailed classifications.

There are very few chefs in Liyue who can combine both of these. Among the people I know, Chef Yan Xiao from Wangshu Inn is one of them. "

"I also agree with this point." Menma nodded, "Chef Yanxiao's cooking skills are really impeccable."

"Me too." Hashiraka said after swallowing a mouthful of tofu. "The first meal I had after arriving in Liyue was so delicious, and it also reminded me of the taste of my hometown. Such a start makes me yearn for everything in Liyue."

"Oh? The taste of my hometown?" Hearing this, Zhongli raised his eyebrows. "Could it be that the dishes from your hometowns are similar to the dishes of Liyue?"

"That's right." Hashirama confirmed Zhongli's words.

“Not only that, it should be said that the style of the entire Liyue is very similar to the past eras of our hometowns.” Menma said, “So, when we saw everything in Liyue, it really made us feel a strong sense of familiarity in our hearts.”

"Oh? But... from my observation, your appearance seems to be more similar to Inazuma, the Land of Lightning, located southeast of Liyue, than to Liyue. Why do you say that?"

"This involves some reasons that may not be clearly stated." Menma waved his hand, "I did not explain these things to your old friend at the beginning. In fact, when we explained some things about Teyvat to him, we used special means to convey them smoothly."

"I see..." Zhongli understood the hidden message in Menma's words, and calmly took a sip of tea from the cup. "Speaking of which, I still have many questions to ask you two about him. After all, it's a serious matter, so I have to deal with it with the utmost caution."

"Of course, no problem. We still have a lot of time. You can ask anything you want." Menma picked up the teapot on the table and refilled Zhongli and Hashirama's tea. Then he picked up his own teacup and said, "Come on, Zhongli brother. Let's drink tea instead of wine today. Just think of it as... a toast to tomorrow."

Hearing Menma address him as "Brother Zhongli" and glancing around calmly, Zhongli understood and raised his own cup, clinking it with Menma and Hashirama at the same time:

“Very good. Then I will join the two of you in toasting Liyue and Teyvat’s tomorrow.”

……

Soon, amidst the constant conversation between the three people, all the dishes on the table were quickly eaten up.

In Liyue, although there is an "unwritten rule" on the dining tables in many places - when someone invites guests to dinner, regardless of whether they will eventually pack up, it is a courtesy to the host for the guests to leave some food and claim that they "can't eat anymore". This is similar to what Menma and Hashirama experienced in their previous lives, but this problem does not exist for them.

Zhongli respected food, just like his old friend, the Stove Demon, and didn't care about this "bad habit" that only appeared in later generations. Menma and Hashirama simply looked down on this hypocritical and useless "rule" and sneered at it.

Although strictly speaking, this table of food was not enough for Menma and Hashirama, they were not cheap in themselves. In addition, this meal was hosted by Zhongli instead of them having a full meal at Wangshu Inn, so for the sake of Wangsheng Hall's poor reputation and the unfortunate head of the hall, Hu Tao, they pretended to be full.

Although... when the bill for this meal is sent to the Hall of Rebirth, it will probably be enough to make Hu Tao so angry that she faints on the spot, and when she wakes up, she will immediately hold the Homa Staff and chase Zhongli for at least eighty blocks...

In short, when the meal was over, the group's activities in Wangshu Inn ended. Since Zhongli had already asked Yuhua to help keep the bill, they did not go to the counter, but got up and left directly without staying in the inn for long.

Not long after they left, a waiter who had been busy around them from the beginning but never left their table too far away immediately ran to the elevator and reported his work to the shopkeeper.

[Menma, are you not going to take care of that guy?] Staring at the waiter taking the elevator to the upper floors of the inn, Hashirama used chakra to quietly transmit a message to Menma, [He is obviously a spy...]

[It should be said that everyone in the Wangshu Inn is a spy. Unless everyone in the inn loses their memory, it will be useless.] Menma shook his head. [Anyway, what he got was just some insignificant information. And except for the part related to Zhongli, their superiors probably knew everything else before we came to Liyue, so don't worry about it.]

[Is that so... Well, I don't know much about this, just keep these things in mind.]

[OK.]

After finishing this "team voice", Menma put on his mask again and walked to Zhongli's side: "Emperor, where are we going next?"

“For the rest of the journey…” Zhongli glanced at Menma, “You should already have the answer in your heart.”

"It seems that you think the same as us." Menma shrugged and his eyes gradually shifted to the southeast. "Speaking of which, at the beginning, the distance was too far and my perception was not real. But now I can feel more clearly that near that breath, there are a lot of rock elements of the same origin as you. I think this must be your handiwork."

The direction Menma was looking at was exactly where "Ming Yun Town" was. When the four chakra auras landed on this land and were sensed by him and Hashirama, they were located in that area.

Now, three of them have been found to be the power of the remaining consciousness of Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito, and now they have become the property of Menma and Hashirama. However, there is still an unknown chakra aura that always stays there, and it has never moved since it appeared.

“Yes, it was indeed the restriction I set.” Zhongli nodded. “When I met the girl that day, I didn’t know whether she was a threat to Liyue, so I sealed her before she woke up…”

"Wait, girl?" x2

Hearing this key word in Zhongli's words, Menma and Hashirama were both stunned for a moment.

They had many speculations about this fourth unclear chakra aura. After all, since it could carry the three light balls that they and Hashirama had obtained in that space and turned them into what they are now, it could indeed be another time traveler, but they did not expect it to be a girl.

In that modified dream, before Uchiha Obito's consciousness dissipated from this world, he told Menma that everyone can only leave from that mysterious space with a certain amount of power, just like him and Hashirama. The reason why the power of Obito, Madara, and Tobirama could come to this world and find them was because of great luck.

He also said that he had found a similar power in himself, so he chose to follow him, but was blocked in the process. Although it is unknown whether the so-called "blocking" came from that space or from this world, since they succeeded later, it means that something happened that was favorable to them.

Combining everything together, the true nature of this "incident" is now naturally obvious - it is the girl that Zhongli mentioned.

[Since she was able to come to this world in human form like us, it means that she must have also been a time traveler gifted by the people of the ninja world.] Menma thought to himself, [Although I don’t know her identity, but since her situation is similar to ours, she is likely our “fellow countryman”. As for the details, let’s wait and see.]

Thinking of this, Menma said to Zhongli: "Then let's set off without further delay."

"It seems that although you don't know each other, she seems to be particularly important to you." Seeing this, Zhongli analyzed.

"That's right." Menma nodded and admitted, "What I said in front of the Great Sage before was not an exaggeration. We really have no relatives in this world. We only have each other. Even though we have made many friends in Mond, at least for now, we can't raise our friendship to a very high level.

But now, there is someone who might be from the same hometown as us, so we naturally want to go and get to know that person and confirm it, which can also be regarded as putting our minds at ease. "

"Yes, in such an unfamiliar world... Although it is not completely unfamiliar now, it is naturally the best thing to have a fellow countryman from the world we used to live in." Hashirama also said, "So we are so anxious about this matter."

"I see... Then let's go to Mingyun Town first." Zhongli made the decision, "Since we have plenty of time, I can ask you two my questions after everything is done."

After saying that, the three of them stepped onto the bridge south of Wangshu Inn and walked towards Guiliyuan step by step.

In the northeast of Guiliyuan, which is also the southeast of Wangshu Inn, there is also a wooden bridge. After crossing this wooden bridge, you can reach the Mingyun Town area.

Although the bridge had long been broken due to disrepair because Mingyun Town was abandoned by the Liyue authorities, and there were many monsters such as hillbillies entrenched here, it was not a problem at all for the three people who were the Rock God and the "Ninja".

"Mingyun Town is such a big area, but the Liyue authorities are really willing to abandon it just like that." After smashing a hillbilly thug to death, Hashirama, who had heard Menma's introduction to Mingyun Town before, couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the dilapidated buildings and abandoned mines in front of him.

"Mingyun Town used to be one of the important mining areas in Liyue." Zhongli waved his hand to throw the corpse of the hillock man on the spear aside, and his tone was filled with helplessness and loneliness. "But as the minerals were mined out and the environment was damaged during the mining process, Mingyun Town became increasingly deserted, until it was finally abandoned by the Liyue leaders.

Now, although other places, mainly the Chasm, have become Liyue’s new mineral centers, no one knows whether these places will eventually become like Mingyun Town.
