Menma and Hashirama, what happened in Teyvat
Chapter 65: Interlocking Layout
"In fact, I know a secret that can save Mondstadt from the crisis it is facing."
Seeing that Gottlind was willing to pay attention to him, Wendy began to deceive her. He did not feel awkward or irritated at all for calling her "sister" as a god who was thousands of years old. Although, his words were not completely deceiving.
"Oh? That's really the blessing of the wind god." Although Gottlind was surprised, her expression and tone did not fluctuate much. "But you should report this matter to the Knights. How can a nun like me, who has nothing to do with you, help you?"
"Ahaha, sister, of course you can help me in some way. For example... the Sky Harp." Wendy thought she had a sure win, so she stated her goal directly, "With its power, I can make the Wind Dragon--"
"Please come back."
"what?"
The sudden turn caught Wendy off guard. He looked at Gottlinde, whose expression had turned cold and who had been so nice just now but now rejected him without hesitation, in bewilderment.
"Although the dragon is extremely vicious, as long as the acting leader is determined, there is a reason why we cannot defeat it." Gottlind said coldly.
"That won't do. Wouldn't the Wind Dragon die if that happened?" Wendy became anxious upon hearing his believer say that. These words came out of his mouth immediately without caring whether they were appropriate at this moment.
Seeing Wendy say this, Gottlinde immediately revealed an expression full of contempt and ridicule, and it was unclear whether it was directed at Wendy or the Wind Dragon:
"The foolish beast that betrayed the east wind will not be easily forgiven even if the Wind God himself descends!"
"Well……"
After hearing such decisive yet chilling words from Gottlinde's mouth again, Wendy slowly lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.
No one knew how painful and complicated his heart was at that moment.
Although the poisonous blood and the curse of the abyss were certainly one of the main reasons for the Wind Dragon's fall, there was another more important reason, which was the unfamiliarity, fear and forgetfulness of the people of Mondstadt towards it, which made it extremely disappointed in Mondstadt, believing that this was a betrayal of it, and then turned into endless resentment, which allowed the curse of the abyss to take advantage of it.
But now, the people of Mondstadt, especially nuns like Gottlinde who are devout believers of the Wind God, mistakenly but firmly believe that this is a betrayal of the Wind Dragon to Mondstadt, and even more so a betrayal of the Wind God. To the extent that she even dared to say such words in the name of the Wind God, expressing her determination to fight against the Wind Dragon.
Wendy could sense that there were many Mond people who held similar ideas, and of course it was not just the nuns who felt this way. People like Gottlinde were not an exception.
I don’t know how disappointed Wendy was at this moment with herself for missing out on so much and with her people who were unable to recognize their own mistakes.
Besides, I can only say that fortunately Menma is not here at this time, otherwise...
However, although he was sad and disappointed, he still had to continue the show on the surface. After all, he was now the bard Wendy, not the wind god Barbatos.
"Uh... that's it, big sister~~"
"If it doesn't work, it won't work, little poet."
Gottlinde said in a coaxing tone. After all, Wendy's appearance age was just that of a younger brother to her. But at the same time, she was thinking:
[Hiss… Why do I feel so incredibly happy when this kid calls me big sister… How ridiculous…]
"Huh... there's really nothing I can do."
No one knew what had gone wrong with Wendy all of a sudden. He actually came up with such an obviously unreliable idea: "I can no longer hide it! My faithful followers, rejoice! The one in front of you is none other than the wind god Barbatos himself.
Are you shocked? Are you shocked to the point of wanting to cry? You finally got to see the god you serve, so how is it? Are you moved?"
Seeing Wendy's "pretentious" speech, Gottlind's inexplicable affection for him instantly disappeared: "If there is nothing else, I will go back to deal with the church's documents."
After saying that, Gottlind turned around and left without giving Wendy any good looks. And it was clear that she left with her fists clenched, which meant that Gottlind was already full of anger at the moment. If it weren't for her good upbringing and the fact that this was a church and she couldn't fight here for both public and private reasons, she might not have left but would have greeted Wendy with her fists.
"Ah——" Looking at Gottlinde leaving, Wendy subconsciously raised her hand as if to keep her, but in the end she said nothing.
After Gottlinde walked away, Sora and Paimon, who were waiting not far away, came over.
"Hey, the nun just left without looking back." Wendy turned around and forced a funny smile.
Perhaps because he was weighed down with worries, or perhaps because Gottlind's words had had a profound impact on him, he himself did not even realize how forced and pale his smile was.
Although Kong saw this, he didn't know what to say. After all, he didn't understand why Wendy became like this when she just failed to borrow the Sky Harp. Did the nun say something that he didn't hear that was a big blow to Wendy?
"But, in fact, I have achieved my intended goal. At least she did not deny that the Sky Harp is kept in the cathedral."
After exhaling a breath and suppressing all the thoughts that should only belong to "Wind God Barbatos" as much as possible, Wendy continued: "Well, Sora. Since you are the new and popular member of the Knights...
Otherwise, why don't you try it too?"

Time soon came to night.
At this time, inside the room of [Flowing Wind Embrace], Hashirama had just finished another elemental force absorption training. After looking at the rising moon and the gradually darkening sky outside, he thought to himself:
[I guess Menma will be back soon at this point...]
It was unknown whether it was telepathy between the brothers or just intuition, but just as Hashirama had this thought, a familiar chakra aura appeared near him. Then, there was a regular knock on the door.
"Come in, the door is not locked." Hashirama responded casually. Soon, the door opened and Menma walked in from outside.
When Menma approached, Hashirama turned around and stared at him with an extremely strange look.
"What...what happened?"
Menma felt a little uneasy at Hashirama's puzzled look, so he asked quickly.
"Ah..." Hashirama sighed, "It's nothing, I just feel it's weird..."
As he spoke, Hashirama raised his head again: "Why did you pretend to be her today?"
"Oh... So that's what it is." Menma suddenly realized that this was what Hashirama wanted to say. "It was just to attract other people's attention and create enough time and opportunities for me. Moreover, the one you saw was not the real me, but my shadow clone."
"Shadow clone?" Hashirama was stunned. "Then where was your real body at that time?"
"Didn't I tell you through her?" Menma smiled, "Before I came back here, I didn't leave the library all day."
Recalling what Menma had just said about "attracting attention" and "creating enough time and opportunities", although Hashirama felt as if he understood something, he was still a little confused.
At this time, he looked at Menma who sat on the bed, and suddenly felt that his breath seemed a little wrong: "Hey, Menma, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I just consumed a little too much chakra." Menma took off his mask, revealing his slightly tired face. "I just verified a hypothesis today. Although the process was rather hectic and there were potential dangers throughout, fortunately in the end... it was successful."
After saying that, Menma raised his hand and formed a seal for summoning the nine-faced Subaha. As the nine rings appeared, the figures of the nine-faced beasts also walked out of them and landed on the side, making the whole room almost full. In other words, as chakra creations, they were not dirty, so there was no problem stepping on the bed. Otherwise, Hashirama would have thrown Xuanwu and Suzaku off the bed.
However, there was a missing figure among the nine-faced beast, and nothing came out of the circle with the word "South" written on it from beginning to end.
"Menma, why is your Nanto Sage missing?" Hashirama naturally noticed this, and while pulling off the golden snake that was wrapped around him, he said, "Also, what exactly is going on today? What about the guess you just mentioned?"
"Let me tell you this, today I..."
……
……
……
Soon, it was late at night and everyone was asleep.
At the Knights' headquarters, Wood, who was about to leave work, was puzzled as he looked at Virag who was still standing at the entrance of the library.
"It's so late, Virag, why don't you leave?"
"You go first, Wood. Miss Lisa hasn't come out yet. I'd better stay here for a while."
"Eh? It's so late, Miss Lisa hasn't left yet?" Wood was a little surprised. "Doesn't she usually get off work much earlier than us? And she's not someone who wants to work overtime at all."
"Although I also feel it's strange, this kind of thing has happened before, for example, when Miss Lisa has important documents to write."
"Okay, then I might as well wait a little longer." Wood nodded, agreeing with Virag's words. "After all, it would be a little inappropriate if you were still here and I left first."
After saying that, Wood walked back to the door of the detention room and continued to guard the hall with Virag.
But the two waited for half an hour, and Lisa still showed no intention of coming out of the library, which made them wonder in their hearts:
[Why hasn’t Miss Lisa come out yet…]
[Even if she had something to do in the past, she wouldn’t have stayed up this late…]
In the end, it was Wood who spoke first: "Why don't we knock on the door and ask? After all, it's so late..."
"But Miss Lisa doesn't like to be disturbed." Virag said with some embarrassment, "Do you remember the last time Bernhard hurried to find her for something and disturbed her nap, and she ended up electrocuting him into a big afro?"
"Uh..." Hearing this, Wood was a little scared. After all, Virag didn't know that he had been electrocuted once for disturbing Lisa. Although he was not electrocuted so badly, he didn't want to experience that again.
Because Virag happened to be out for something at that time, he did not see this scene.
But in the end, my sense of responsibility overcame my fear: "Let's just knock on the door and ask. After all, if Miss Lisa really has something wrong, we can help her."
"Oh... okay." Virag nodded resignedly, turned around and began to knock on the door, "Ms. Lisa, it's already late outside, aren't you going home to rest?"
After saying that, Virag immediately took two steps back, as if he was afraid that lightning would come out from the crack in the door and shock him in the next second.
But the expected situation did not happen. Not only did no lightning appear, but even Lisa in the house did not respond at all.
"This..." The two looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
"Miss Lisa? Miss Lisa?" Wood also went forward and knocked on the door, and knocked harder than Virag, but there was still no response.
"Let's go!" Feeling something was very wrong, the two nodded at the same time, opened the door and walked in immediately, "Ms. Lisa, are you there?"
At a glance, they saw Lisa lying motionless on the registration table. Although the three books stacked beside her blocked her face, her graceful figure sitting on the chair could not be blocked.
"Ms. Lisa!" x2
The two panicked people immediately ran over and began to check Lisa's condition:
"Uh...she...just fell asleep?"
Wood was a little confused when he realized that Lisa was fine and just asleep. After a long time, he realized that he and Virag had worried for nothing.
Moreover, judging from the appearance of the table, Miss Lisa was definitely not processing any documents before, otherwise she would not be lying on the table even if she was sleeping.
"Ms. Lisa?" The two shook Lisa together, intending to wake her up first. After all, although they were confused about everything, waking her up was the most important thing at the moment.
"Well……"
After being hurriedly shaken by the two for a while, Lisa finally opened her eyes in a daze. Then, she revealed a pair of scarlet eyes that were completely different from her previous ones...
