Menma and Hashirama, what happened in Teyvat
Chapter 16: Cooperation with Diluk
Hearing this extremely strange self-proclaimed name, Adeline felt very confused. However, she felt that since Menma said this, there must be some deep meaning behind it. Just because she didn't understand it didn't mean that Master Diluk would not understand it.
So, even though she didn't understand the meaning, Adeline still walked into the winery room and delivered Menma's words to Diluk who was writing documents inside.
"The masked man from last night..."
Hearing Adeline's words, Diluk stopped writing the Chamber of Commerce documents, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, with a hint of confusion in his eyes: "Let them in."
"Yes."
……
……
……
"Welcome to the Dawn Winery. I am the Diluc you are looking for." Inside the house, Diluc, standing in the middle of the hall, was warmly entertaining several people. But although he was warm, he was actually just calling a few maids to arrange seats and drinks. Diluc's tone was still as indifferent as usual, and there was no sign of enthusiasm on his face.
The pixels at the corners of the mouth are motionless.
At the same time, because Diluk hated the Fatui very much, and he also noticed that Fizzin was abnormal, he said bluntly that he welcomed "two" instead of "three".
"I have long heard of Master Diluc's name. Today I see that he is indeed worthy of his reputation." After taking his seat, Menma made a few polite remarks and then introduced himself directly. "I am Uzumaki Menma, and this is my companion Senju Hashirama. We have come to pay a visit to you today."
"Forget about the pleasantries. Please just speak directly if you have anything to say." Diluk's decisive side was immediately revealed. "You two have come all the way from Inazuma to Mondstadt. I'm sure you didn't come just to see me."
[As expected, even Diluk would mistake us for Inazuma people when he heard our names.]
So Menma corrected them, "Sorry, we two are not from Inazuma, nor are we from Inazuma."
"Oh?"
"At present, we can only be considered as tourists coming to Mond. We came to you today not for anything related to Mond, but just for us."
"tell me the story."
"Come here." Menma waved his hand to Feijin, who was standing not far behind him, to come over. "This is the Fatui I kidnapped in Mondstadt, and he is a gift from us today."
"Is that all? I guess the Fatui are worth more than a gift to me." Diluk didn't ask how Menma kidnapped Fizzin and how he hid it from the Fatui in Mondstadt and brought him here, because he knew that if Menma wanted to tell the story, he didn't need to ask, and if he didn't want to tell the story, it would be useless for him to ask.
"That's right, so strictly speaking, he can only be regarded as the material for making the gift we want to give you."
“Material?” Hearing this adjective, Diluk frowned slightly, “I don’t quite understand what you mean.”
"Hmm..." Menma didn't say anything else, but turned his head to look at the maids standing by and ready to serve.
Seeing this, Diluc immediately understood what Menma wanted to express, and waved his hand to signal the maids to leave, leaving only Adeline, the head maid who was his confidant.
After all the ordinary maids left, Menma finally spoke up and said something that made Diluk a little alert: "As far as I know, your father, Mr. Diluk, and also the previous patriarch of your Leggenfend family, Mr. Klips, unfortunately died in a battle with the dragon Ursa during your coming-of-age ceremony, right?"
After saying this, Diluk first looked at Menma with a scrutinizing gaze for about ten seconds before he spoke: "That's right, but what does this have to do with the gift you mentioned?"
Because of the style of the mask Menma was wearing, and the fact that Menma did not have any malicious intentions, Diluk could not see anything.
“In that case…” Under the mask, Menma’s expression gradually showed a hint of smile, “Do you want to see your father again?”
See my father again...?
It must be said that this sentence was no less than a bolt of lightning to Diluk. Although he would be very happy if this kind of thing really happened, but now that such a sentence was said by a mysterious person who was still a stranger, Diluk had to be cautious.
"What does this mean?"
"Literally." Menma said calmly. No matter how calm Diluk pretended to be and how steady his tone was, the excitement hidden in it still didn't escape Menma's attention. "I have the ability to summon the dead back to the world in a special form. However, since I haven't tried this ability yet, I'm not sure if it works, so I wanted to come to you to test it out."
"You actually have this ability... But since you don't know if it's feasible, why did you come directly to me? Moreover, you want to use my father to... 'test'?"
"Because this ability requires a living person as a sacrifice, and this is why I said before that he was the material needed to make the gift for you." Menma patted Fei Jin and continued, "From this, it can be seen that this ability is quite contrary to human nature. I can only look for those who have committed many evil deeds as sacrifices, such as the Fatui like him.
Oh yes, you can probably tell that the gift we want to bring you is the chance for you and your father to meet again."
Menma's words were particularly to Diluk's liking, and the possibility of seeing his father again was also a very good temptation, so he did not interrupt and just continued to listen to Menma.
"However, even if we find a sacrifice, without the deceased to try to summon, we naturally have no target for the experiment." Menma sighed helplessly, "What's more, due to its own characteristics, this ability can only be tested secretly in a hidden place, but we don't even have such a place.
Therefore, based on the above, we can only come to you to see if we can get such an opportunity."
“I see…” Diluk nodded and thought for a moment. “But it seems that if you succeed, it will be a very good result for me. Even if you fail, I won’t suffer any loss. It seems that it is a good deal for me. So, what do you want to gain from this?”
As a businessman, and the leader of the Mondstadt Chamber of Commerce and underground forces, Diluk naturally has a vision far beyond that of ordinary businessmen and politicians. Logically, since Menma and Hashirama would talk to him in such a way that was extremely cheap for them, they must also want to get something.
"In fact, if this ability is successfully tested, it will be the best reward for us, because it means that we can do many things we want to do." Menma said, "If you think this is too light for you, then..."
“Hmm?” Diluk had no intention of resisting and just waited quietly for Menma’s next words.
Seeing this, Menma said what he was going to say without hesitation: "We want to gain your friendship."
"Oh? My friendship?"
"That's right. Mondstadt is a good place. Our first stop in this world is Mondstadt. We think the atmosphere here is really good. We are both kind-hearted people. If a city or even a country like this needs anything, we are naturally willing to help. And I think we can have a lot of common topics in this regard."
"Although I am pleased with your words, it is still not enough to convince me based on this alone." Diluk suddenly poured cold water on him, "After all, in my eyes, what you have done to the people of Mond is harmful."
At the same time, he also realized an important piece of information that Menma had deliberately revealed in his previous words, and he had another thought about the identities of the two people.
"I can guarantee and swear with everything I have that I never hurt innocent people. The only way someone gets hurt by me is because that person has offended me before." Menma knew what Diluk was referring to, so he explained, "If we really wanted to harm Mondstadt, we wouldn't do it in secret, because..."
At this point, Menma's aura suddenly surged. When Hashirama saw this, he followed Menma's instructions before coming in and also released his own extremely powerful aura.
"..." A drop of cold sweat flowed down Diluk's forehead. He wiped it off calmly and tried his best to resist the two auras with his own strength: "It seems that both of you are not simple..."
"It's actually very simple to say it's simple, but it's also not simple to say it's not simple." Menma quickly retracted his momentum and said something that seemed to be out of context, "What we want is actually not complicated. We just want a result that is good for you, me, and everyone else."
At this point, Menma reached out and took off his mask, revealing his true face: "And this friendship between us, I think will definitely be a very important thing to Mond in the future."
Looking at Menma's true face and listening to his voice that was completely different from before, Diluk finally smiled slightly and stretched out his right hand. "Well, let me say in advance that it's a pleasure to work with you."
"It's a pleasure working with you." Menma readily shook hands with Diluk.
