Menma and Hashirama, what happened in Teyvat

(Knights Headquarters)

After hearing the "click" sound of the door opening next to him, Virag turned around and saw Ma walking out and closing the door.

"Mr. Uzumaki, what are you doing..." Looking at the paper in Menma's hand, Wirag asked curiously.

"Oh, this is a list Miss Lisa gave me. These people are all those who borrowed books from the library but have not returned them on time." Men Mahjong handed the list to Virag. "It just so happens that I have nothing to do right now, so Miss Lisa asked me to find these people and urge them to return the books."

"Oh, I see."

"Okay, I'll leave first then." After taking back the list, Menma waved goodbye to Wirag, "I'll come back next time when I'm free."

"You're always welcome in the library, Mr. Uzumaki."

Soon, Menma walked out of the gate of the Knights' headquarters with the list under the watchful eyes of Virag, while he continued to stand guard at the entrance of the library. But less than ten minutes later, the door of the library was opened again.

"Ms. Lisa?"

"What's wrong, Willag?"

"No...nothing, it's just...I've never seen you come out of the library at this time before, so I was a little surprised..."

"Haha, I see." Lisa chuckled, "Although there is nothing wrong with your logic, people's ideas always change.

Since no one is coming to the library right now, and Ella can't come because of something, and Mr. Uzumaki is helping me to urge people to return books, I am happy to have some free time now, so I can go out for a walk."

After saying that, Lisa left the Knights' headquarters.

And Virag, who was still stunned, couldn't help but think after he recovered: "Walking? Is this something Miss Lisa would say? Usually, when she has free time, doesn't she either go out to drink tea or take a nap?"

Forget it, maybe she just suddenly had the idea of ​​going out for a walk today. After all, staying in one place all day is not good for the body...】

……

……

……

Diluk has been in a lot of trouble lately.

Although he was very happy about his father's return, he overlooked one thing: he was already a grown man in his early twenties. If he were an ordinary person, he would have considered starting a family and building a career long ago, and this was even more so for those young talents among the aristocracy.

The Leggenfind family is considered to be one of Mond's new nobles in the past few hundred years, so naturally they are also in this group.

And every time this happens, the elders will start to nag at me all day long...

"Diluk, you are already grown up, isn't it time for you to start a family?"

"As the direct descendant of the Leggenfend family, and you are already old enough. Even if you don't consider yourself, you should think about the future of the Leggenfend family. It is important to have a descendant as soon as possible."

"Kaeya is a very good kid, but he is only your sworn brother after all. His last name is not Legenfinder, so the future of the Legenfinder family depends on you, Diluk."

"Let me be frank. Your father wants to have a grandson. When can you fulfill my wish?"

Similar words echoed in Diluk's ears all day long like the chirping of hundreds of sparrows, making him feel very annoyed, but he had no way to deal with it.

After all, firstly, the other party is his father, and he did this only for the future of himself and his family. Secondly, there was nothing wrong or inappropriate about his words. Although he had not thought of finding a partner yet, he was destined to be in the wrong in this matter.

Therefore, every time Cripps nagged, Diluk could only pretend not to hear him. If he couldn't pretend any longer, he would just make up a story to get rid of his father.

But this method can't even "cure the symptoms". After an hour or two, Cripps will start nagging again. The only way to "cure the root cause" is to really find a wife, and one that can satisfy Cripps. But can I do this?

Although Diluk has no idea about finding a partner, it does not mean that he is a casual man. It is impossible for him to find a woman just to deal with his father. Not to mention whether Krips or the woman he found agree, even Diluk himself cannot accept this.

"It's really troublesome..."

Walking down the streets of Mondstadt, Diluk, who was troubled by this matter, couldn't help but speak out.

"Master Diluk?"

At this moment, a voice nearby startled Diluk, who was immersed in his thoughts. He turned around and saw Donna, who was helping Flora with the [Flower Language].

“It’s really Master Diluk… Oh my god, is today my lucky day? Thank you, Master Barbatos, the God of Wind, for your blessing…”

Diluk felt annoyed and helpless as he looked at Donna, who immediately fell into a state of fantasy after seeing him in person and didn't even have time to care about her own image.

Diluk also knew that Donna was one of his little fans... or rather, he also knew that he had a large number of fans in Mondstadt. After all, he was very good-looking and had a good family background, and his cool temperament made it easy for him to attract many fans of the opposite sex.

Although Donna seems to be special, after all, I once saved her from a monster. But because I didn't reveal my identity at that time, even Donna only knew that it was the "Dark Night Hero" who saved her, but she didn't know that it was her idol Diluk. And Diluk saved her only because he wanted to protect the citizens of Mondstadt from being harmed by monsters, nothing more.

What's more, just because they like me doesn't mean I will like them.

Without even saying hello, Diluc quickened his pace and left while Donna was still in her fantasy.

Diluk had just been scolded by his father at home, and now he ran into this kind of crazy fan again. He felt that his day was simply terrible. If Kaeya knew about this, he would definitely laugh at him.

[Wait, could it be that Kaiya and Uzumaki-san sent my father to me for this purpose? ]

It was not known whether Diluk had misinterpreted Kaeya's meaning or had guessed Kaeya's true thoughts. In any case... he planned to find a way to vent all the anger he had suffered today on Kaeya.

Anyway, it's your own sandbag, so why not use it?

(Kaia: Thank you!)

Soon, Diluk returned to [Angel's Gift] and continued to play the role of bartender. Although he had recently given Charles a holiday so that he could be the bartender so that he could take care of his father at any time, but now... this identity has become the best cover for him to avoid his father's nagging.

After all, no matter how much Klips could talk, he couldn't chase him into the tavern and talk to him in front of so many drinkers. Otherwise, would the face of the father and son, as well as the entire Leggenfend family, be lost?

……

……

……

"I'm starving to death..."

In the guest room of [Flowing Wind Embrace], Hashirama, who had just finished practicing, was sitting on his bed, staring at the scene outside the window with a depressed look on his face.

It was already noon and most people had finished their lunch long ago, but Menma, who had not been seen since he left in the morning, had not returned yet.

Although Hashirama understood that in this situation, Menma must be busy with something and it was normal for him not to come back. But... no one cooked for him and he was hungry...

[There is no other choice, let’s go out to eat. ]

Even if he wanted to lose face and say "Menma, I'm hungry, food", he would have to wait until Menma was by his side. Besides, it was impossible for a grown man like Hashirama to be so shameless, even if the other person was his good brother.

Anyway, most of the money for the two of them is with them, so going out for a meal is not a problem at all.

After arriving at the Deer Hunter Restaurant, Hashirama ordered five servings of fisherman's toast, three servings of sweet flower stuffed chicken and five wild mushroom chicken skewers and paid the bill in person. Then he found a seat and sat down to wait for the meal.

At this moment, he suddenly saw Kong, Paimon and Wendy walking towards this side from the direction of the city gate, so he immediately greeted them.

"Mr. Senju?"

Kong was thinking about everything Wendy had told him last night, and he didn't expect to run into Hashirama here.

Paimon and Wendy came over to greet him in a very familiar manner. Paimon said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Senju, are you going to eat here?"

Wendy said, "What a coincidence, Mr. Senju... Oh? Mr. Uzumaki is not here today?"

"Yeah." Hashirama nodded. "Menma went out this morning and never came back. I don't know what he was busy with. I had no choice but to go out and 'forage' by myself."

"Ah? Has Mr. Uzumaki encountered any difficulties?" Paimon was a little surprised.

"I don't know either. After all, he didn't send me any information." Hashirama spread his hands, looking helpless. "But I don't think it should be difficult. After all, in my opinion, there are few things that can stump him."

"It seems like you have a very high level of trust in Uzumaki-san," Sora said.

"Hahaha, yes, after all, he is my good brother and the person I have the closest relationship with in this world, just like you and Paimon." After a hearty laugh, Hashirama affirmed what Sora said, "And for someone like Menma, why shouldn't I give him absolute trust?"

"Mr. Senju, your order is ready."

Just then, Sarah came over with an oversized tray, and the conversation ended.

After putting the tray on the table with some difficulty, Sarah began to lay out the dishes one by one. This sumptuous lunch also caught the eyes of Sora and Paimon:

"This……"

"Okay, Mr. Senju, now your dishes are complete..."

"Wait a minute." Sarah was interrupted by Hashirama before she could finish her words. "Plus three grilled steaks, three satisfying salads, two servings of baked vegetables with crab roe and ham, and eight grilled Mond fish. I'll pay for the meal later."

"Eh?" Sarah didn't react for a moment, but when she turned around and saw the three people beside her, she immediately understood, "Okay sir, please wait a moment."

After that, Sarah went back to the kitchen to give instructions. Sora, who also understood what Hashirama meant, said hurriedly, "This... Mr. Senju, you don't have to be like this..."

"It's okay, it's okay." Hashirama waved his hand generously, "Since I just happened to meet you here, and it seems that you haven't eaten yet. You're welcome, this meal is on my table."

Kong wanted to say something else, but Wendy beside him had already agreed: "Hey, then I'll obey your command. Thank you, Mr. Senju."

Is it still Wendy's if you don't take advantage of a good deal, especially when someone is treating you to a sumptuous lunch?

Menma had previously instructed that unless everyone present knew, he should not easily reveal the god's identity when not alone, so Hashirama did not reveal that he knew Wendy's true identity. Wendy naturally understood this, so as he was currently just Hashirama's friend, he felt at ease to take advantage of Hashirama.

With Wendy taking the lead, Paimon followed suit and said, "Since Wendy has said so, Paimon will not be polite."

Seeing the two people around him like this, Kong had no choice but to give Hashirama an apologetic smile, and then tacitly accepted his invitation.

"But speaking of it, you, a street singer, actually know Mr. Senju?" Paimon said while eating.

"Yeah, come to think of it, when Mr. Uzumaki and Mr. Senju first came to Mondstadt, I helped them a lot." Venti brought out the same words she used to say to Diluk in [Angel's Gift], "After a few interactions, we naturally became friends."

"Eh? People as powerful as them actually ask you for help?"

"Of course, bards are also very powerful. What's more, I am the most popular bard in all of Mondstadt." Seeing that Paimon was convinced, Wendy began his acting.

"Yes, thanks to Wendy's help, we were able to have such a pleasant experience in Mondstadt." Hashirama also chimed in. After all, acting should be done in full, which is also what Menma reminded himself.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded beside them: "Oh? Are you having a dinner party?"

"Lisa!" Seeing the rose-colored figure walking towards them, Paimon immediately waved and greeted, "Are you here for dinner too?"

"Haha~" Lisa covered her face and chuckled, "I'm just passing by here, and I've already eaten, so I can't have dinner with you guys."

"Really? That's a pity..." Paimon shook his head.

When Hashirama turned to look at Lisa, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then there was a hint of confusion and surprise in his eyes.

Seeing Hashirama's eyes, Lisa laughed again, then blinked and said, "Mr. Senju, this morning Mr. Uzumaki went to the library of the Knights' headquarters. He is busy inside now, and I happened to want to go out for a walk, so he asked me to tell you that he may not be back until the evening."

"Is that so... I understand." Hashirama nodded, but the strangeness in his eyes did not dissipate, but became more and more intense.

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore. See you next time." Seeing that the purpose of the message had been achieved, Lisa waved goodbye to the few people and slowly left the Deer Hunter Restaurant. Hashirama kept staring at Lisa's back, and the expression on his face never changed.

"Mr. Senju?" It was Kong who first noticed Hashirama's abnormality and reminded him.

"Ah...oh." Hashirama came back to his senses after hearing Sora's voice and turned around immediately, "What's the matter?"

"Just now I saw you staring at Miss Lisa. You didn't even look away after she left..." Since Hashirama's eyes were serious and didn't look like he couldn't control himself after seeing a beautiful woman, Sora thought that Hashirama saw something wrong with Lisa. "What's wrong with her?"

"Uh... nothing." Hashirama quickly replied, "I just saw that she seemed to be in better shape than when I saw her two days ago, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances at her."

"Is that so..." After hearing what Hashirama said, Sora felt that it seemed to be true, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, as Sarah brought the second wave of dishes, the group stopped talking and focused on eating. However, while eating, Hashirama was still complaining in his heart:

[Sigh… What on earth is going on? What on earth is Menma doing? ]
